Chapter 686: Empress Wu's temper, unexpected good news
Empress Wu has been a little angry lately.
Whether it is dealing with state affairs, or dealing with palace servants, or facing her husband and children, she is easily impatient and angry, and this rare sign makes countless people cautious. Of course, Li Zhi was the least affected, accustomed to seeing his wife gentle and charming, angry and funny, and occasionally seeing her lose her temper like ordinary women, it was also a pleasure. And of course he didn't know that Empress Wu had undergone a lot of restraint in front of him.
Others don't have so much luck. Emperor Li Hong was summoned by Empress Wu to reprimand him because he made an inappropriate instruction on a certain recital; Queen Yang Wen was punished for copying a female training because she promoted a useless and childless girl; Li Xian was scolded for being lazy in front of General Yulin, and he was scolded bloody...... Even Li Xian is extra careful these days, lest he be angry with his mother, who is obviously in menopause.
However, he couldn't hide from the first day of junior high school but couldn't hide from the fifteenth, on this day he took Li Lingyue to the Dayi Palace, wanting to report on today's situation, but as soon as they met, he was scolded with a split head and a face. Not only him, but Li Lingyue, who has always been extremely favored, was piggybacked---- the reason is very simple, the little girl wandered around with Murong Fu regardless of it, and this matter has reached the ears of the noble Empress Taishang.
Due to the death of the eldest daughter, Princess Anding, Empress Wu naturally doted on Li Lingyue, the only daughter, and began to pay attention to the issue of her husband a long time ago, and even asked Li Xian to consult it together. Her vision is already picky enough, but Li Xian is even worse, even if he is a good figure after martial arts, he can pick out countless shortcomings. And when the mother and son tested Li Lingyue in private, they were even more intimidated by her high standards like Mount Everest.
First of all, people must be handsome, and this handsome man is by no means a turbid son with oily hair and powder. but the kind of handsome manly man, except for the unshaven uncle; Second, people must have ambition and ambition. But it's not just about getting promoted and getting rich all day long. or fight and kill the enemy, you have to pursue life but you have to love your wife; The third and most important point is to love her with all your might, and there will never be a second woman in this life.
This strange and harsh request made Empress Wu and Li Xian, the mother and son, dumbfounded. The first and second are easy to do, but the third is a matter deep in the heart, who can guarantee that men don't say one thing and do one thing this year? And after Li Xian asked his wife in private, he got an answer that made him collapse.
It turned out that these three requirements were actually designed for Li Lingyue by his charming wives! The so-called does not allow a second woman. Naturally, it was due to their resentment towards him.
Therefore, Empress Wu is so incomprehensible that her daughter will actually fall in love with a foreigner like Murong Fu, how incomprehensible it is, how hot and how hot it is. But after losing her temper, she saw her son laughing bitterly, and her daughter biting her lip silently, she was a little soft-hearted, and she had to pull Li Lingyue over. Lowered his voice and asked her what she thought.
However, to the surprise of Empress Wu, the little girl was stunned and didn't speak, until she was forced to ask in a hurry, she stomped her foot angrily and shouted: "I don't care." I just love him! If it weren't for him, I wouldn't marry anyone in the future! ”
As soon as she finished saying this, Li Lingyue actually broke free from the hand of the martial queen, and rushed out like a gust of wind, and the two palace people at the door wanted to stop it. But it didn't stop at all.
Now. Empress Wu's anger was inevitably sprinkled on Li Xian's head. And this time, Li Xian didn't stand there stupidly as a scapegoat. The trick of the little girl is still rare in these years. But for him, who has watched too many soap operas, that is definitely not a new statement.
"Queen Mother, Ling Yue just casually said, where will she have any likes or dislikes at this age, in fact, it is just a fresh, if you press more, the more energetic she will be, and in the end, it may come true. She is still young, and there will be more and more people in contact with her in the future, don't look at what she says fiercely, in fact, she is just dissatisfied with the queen mother's listening to the wind and rain. ”
Although Li Xian likes his cheap apprentice, he still has some psychological pimples when he wants to turn his apprentice into a brother-in-law. Is there not a saying that the heart of a race other than my race will be different?
Listening to the wind is rain, Wu Hou's face turned black, if it was not Li Xian in front of her but someone else, she might kick it over when the fire got bigger. Black face to black face, after thinking about it carefully for a while, she also realized that she was indeed in a hurry. My daughter has just turned eleven years old, and she is still a few years away, so why should she care so much?
Realizing this, she felt that something seemed to be wrong recently, and when she saw Li Xian standing there in a proper manner, she asked casually: "Xian'er, do you think I've been a little more tempered recently?" ”
Your old man is so temperamental, when he gets angry, he almost lifts the roof! Although he wanted to say this in his heart, he wanted to nod his head on his face, but Li Xian didn't plan to touch the stone with an egg, if he told the truth at this time, he might be the one who was kicked out the next moment. It's just that if my mother continues to go through such menopause, he will be a little unbearable, so he has to bother to remind him.
"The queen mother has been a little anxious recently, and her temperament is a little bad, so we are all a little scared when we see it. If you smile more, won't you look younger? ”
Sure enough, when this sentence came out, he was met with a roll of the eye. He could afford this idea, and then inevitably turned the conversation to business. The old Shangguan resigned report, he had been detained in his hands for more than a day or two, and the old man Hao Chujun was so troubled that he painted a gourd and stuffed it for him.
These two people would actually think of picking a child, and they were also two stalwarts who used to have a very good opinion of his mother, which he never expected anyway. Could it be that they don't scold Si Chen viciously in their hearts now?
The old Shangguan is just that, he has been honest since the events of that year, and Shangguan Wan'er is Li Lingyue's companion, and the martial arts queen does not look up and look down every day, and "generously" no longer cares about Shangguan Yi's cautious eyes back then. As for the die-hard Hao Chujun, although she can't get used to it, people are now proposing to retire, and they no longer oppose her every day, and she can't make it impossible to find herself angry.
"Since these two are over seventy years old, let's be sure."
No longer caring about the old things doesn't mean that Empress Wu will keep them again and again, anyway, Li Xian has already kept them, so she doesn't have to do this again. At this moment, she didn't expect that when Xu Jingzong was seventy-five or sixteen years old in the past, she was forced to stay in the center as the prime minister, and Shangguan Yi Hao Chujun couldn't say how old he was.
However, for Li Xian's proposal for the chief prime minister, Empress Wu did not immediately agree, but thoughtfully looked at his son's face for a while, and then laughed.
"The old Shangguan thought that I couldn't see it? Joke, Pei Yan's promotion speed has already been gossiped by many people, if he takes the position of his old official now, I am afraid that he will drown him if he is spittle! This chief prime minister is not a must in the official system, and now that there is a prince like you sitting in the East Palace, what else does the chief prime minister need? At the beginning, Emperor Taizong still needed to have a Shangshu Ling's false name, you don't even need this, do what you want to do, you and your fifth brother will support you! ”
If others heard such a sentence, they would definitely be overjoyed to gain full trust, but Li Xian was dumbfounded. Shangguan Yi originally expressed support for Pei Yan's suggestion, he only thought that the old fox was for balance considerations, but he didn't expect that he was ready to continue to burden him at all. What are you kidding, he is not a god, the prime minister of the Taiping era is to trivialize the dead!
"Queen Mother, you see, the son is still young, and he can't cope with such a big situation......"
Li Xian's eyes rolled and he changed his name, trying to impress his power-hungry mother in the most pitiful way, and share a little bit for himself. However, it seems that he has too many bad records all along, as if it is because Empress Wu is too relieved of him, in short, Empress Wu did not pay attention to his "sincerity" at all, but waved his hand like a mosquito and fly.
"Okay, okay, you do something, I'll let it go
With such a simple sentence, Li Xian was kicked out of the Great Yi Palace. When he came out, he was depressed to death, and when he saw who was not pleasing to his eyes, he simply went to Taoguang Garden to relax. However, just as he was passing by the Huiyou Palace, he was suddenly intercepted by a sharp-eyed little chamberlain. Before he could ask, the smiling little chamberlain shouted.
"Your Royal Highness, the villain is just going to the East Palace to find you! Your Majesty...... No, it was just when the Imperial Medical Department sent someone to check the pulse of the queen's mother, and found out that the mother was pregnant! Your Majesty was so happy that he ...... Before he finished speaking, he heard Li Xianwei scream, leaving himself in a gust of wind and rushing straight to the Huiyou Palace, and he was suddenly startled. He first thought to himself, could it be that this prince heard that the emperor was about to have a son-in-law, so he was so angry? But thinking about Li Xian's temperament, he didn't feel like it, so he had to pat his head in the end.
Looking at that posture, I should be confused with joy.
Although Li Hong is one year older than Li Xian, compared to the number of children of the latter, he can be said to have a difficult heir. Except for a daughter born to Ah Fei in his early years and a son raised by Li Xian, all the concubines have nothing to do. In addition, the imperial doctor judged that it would be difficult for him to conceive a woman again, so there was almost no such thing as fighting for favor and harming people in the palace.
So, when Li Xian hurriedly rushed into the Huiyou Palace, what he saw was the happy expressions of his brother and sister-in-law. And when he arrived, Li Hong rushed up almost completely out of shape and hugged him tightly, and the kind of joy that made people feel sour when they looked at it.
Who doesn't want their children to be around their knees, and who doesn't want to grow old and have something to rely on? This is the emperor, if he is really alone, it is really pitiful.
