?? When he arrived at the palace, there was already a little eunuch waiting at the palace gate, and Wu Zhi followed the little eunuch just after passing the corridor and happened to meet Ling'er. *With* Dream *Small* Say. lā

Ling'er was dressed as a folk woman, and the little palace maid she was carrying by her was also wearing the little maid's bun.

"Hey, hey! I was just about to go out to find you! ”

Ling'er jumped and ran to Wu Zhi's side, fortunately this was the palace, otherwise she would have to throw herself into Wu Zhi's arms.

"What are you doing in the palace? Is the Queen Mother going to summon you? Ling'er asked with a blink of her big eyes.

Wu Zhi was surprised: "How do you know? ”

"It's easy!" Ling'er grabbed her braid and said proudly: "Because this road leads to the harem, my father will never summon you in the harem, right?" And the only one in the harem who can call you a martial arts scholar is the queen mother! ”

Wu Zhi couldn't help but wonder, Xiao Ling'er is getting smarter and smarter.

"I'll take you to the Queen Mother!" Ling'er squeezed her eyes at Wu Zhi, and then ordered the little eunuch: "You retreat!" ”

"Yes!"

As soon as the little eunuch walked away, Ling'er hugged Wu Zhi's arm and squinted at Wu Zhi and smirked.

She hadn't seen Wu Sik in a while.

Feeling Ling'er's soft chest on his arm, Wu Zhi couldn't help but feel numb, but he still reminded Ling'er with some caution: "Little Ling'er, this is in the palace, a little more restrained......"

"I don't care ......"

………

He Ling'er got tired all the way to the gate of the queen's main palace, and Ling'er bit her lip and let go of her hand.

Entering the main hall, the queen was already sitting waiting for Wu Zhi, waiting for Liang Shicheng next to her, and Murong Yanda was sitting in the lower position.

"Meet the Queen!"

Seeing that Brother Murong was also here, and he glanced at himself, Wu Zhi knew that his mother-in-law was really here this time.

"Ling'er is here too, just right."

The queen hooked her hand and beckoned Ling'er to her side and took Ling'er's hand, then looked at Wu Zhi coldly and said, "Wu Zhi, there are no outsiders here, and the mourning family won't go around the bend with you!" There are still a few months to go until the three-year period, how are you going to give Ling'er an explanation? ”

Wu Zhi took a deep breath, looked at Ling'er and said to the queen: "When I come back from my mission, I will ...... to Your Majesty"

Hearing Wu Zhi say this, Queen Ling'er and Brother Murong both had a look of expectation on their faces.

“…… Be honest about my relationship with Ling'er. ”

After speaking, the expression on the queen's face obviously changed to disappointment: "Is it just honest?" No way! I want you to promise to marry Ling'er when you come back from the mission! ”

"Oh, the queen mother doesn't need to be in such a hurry." Ling'er lowered her head and whispered.

"Silly Ling'er! You're in your twenties! I've been with this kid for a few years! You're not in a hurry? The queen looked at Ling'er doting and helplessly, and then turned back to Wu Zhi and said, "Wu Zhi, do you promise?" If you don't agree to me, you can marry Ling'er to someone else, the son of Anguo's family is the same age as Ling'er! ”

As soon as Wu Zhi heard it, he knew that the queen was scaring himself, and Wu Zhi, the son of the Duke of Anguo, knew that he was a stupid and stupid big fat man, and it was impossible for the queen to marry Ling'er to him.

"This ...... Queen Mother, I don't want to hide it, I want to marry Ling'er more than anyone else, and I can't wait to marry Ling'er home now! However, it is a taboo between me and Ling'er, and I will already take a big risk of making it public to Your Majesty at that time, and even if Your Majesty does not object to it at that time, it will be difficult to guarantee that the hundred officials and the people of the world will criticize it......"

After a pause, Wu Zhi continued: "Ling'er, I will definitely marry, but it is too difficult to marry after the envoy returns, it is almost impossible, and I can only slowly figure it out."

”

"Humph!"

The queen glared at Wu Zhi and slapped the table, and the phoenix crown on her head only shook like anger.

"Wu Zhi, don't think that the mourning family doesn't understand the government! With your ability, this mission to Japan will definitely be successful, and when the time comes, you will get back a gold mine for the Great Song Dynasty, which is another miracle! You have done a lot of work in the court and the opposition, and your reputation is outstanding! If you make another miraculous feat this time, wouldn't it be a matter of course to propose to Your Majesty to marry Ling'er! ”

The queen took a cup of tea handed by Liang Shicheng and continued: "Who dares to say a word about your marriage with Ling'er at that time?" ”

The queen's words made Wu Zhi speechless. Indeed, if Wu Zhi successfully returned to the Great Song Dynasty on his mission to Japan this time, then he would really be free in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty. Not to mention the merits, with this qualification alone, whether it is the ruler of the two governments or the six books of the governor of Taiwan, there is no top official position in the Great Song Dynasty that he can't do.

Diplomatic ability is a necessary quality for a country-level high-ranking official, when the famous minister Fubi was still a small lang in the Ministry of Rites, it was because of the indomitable envoy to the Liao State, and the use of ingenious diplomatic means to reduce some losses for the Great Song Dynasty to win dignity, after returning to China, he was immediately regarded as a hero by the entire officialdom, and since then his life has been prominent.

Wu Zhi doesn't have many qualifications at the moment, but they are all weighty and very important. First of all, the most basic ability of ancient officials to solve cases, Wu Zhi has the qualifications to behead dozens of accomplices of the powerful Zhu family in the Sun family's extermination case; The second is the ability and judgment to strategize, Wu Zhi has the god-level qualifications to retreat from the Western Xia army; There is also a certain military ability and the prime minister's rigid requirements from the state department, which Wu Zhi is even more qualified, he followed the army to successfully quell the rebellion, and stabilized the government affairs of one province and seven states in the south of the Yangtze River with the power of one person!

If a few months later, Wu Zhi fooled Japan into successfully winning the gold mine for the Great Song Dynasty, proving his excellent diplomatic ability, then even if Wu Zhi was a teenager, the Great Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers were embarrassed to talk about Wu Zhi's age again, at least they had to leave a place for Wu Zhi in the East and West Provinces.

If you think about it carefully, under such a name, it is not difficult to marry the emperor's daughter in love.

"Wu Zhi, old ge...... That, as an elder, I'm going to say a few words about you. Murong Yanda cleared his throat, looked at the queen and Ling'er leisurely, and finally did not call himself an elder brother in front of Wu Zhi, "Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess has been waiting for you for three years, she is Her Royal Highness the princess who has attracted the attention of all the people in the golden branches and jade leaves, and it is easy for her to meet you secretly in the past three years!" You really should marry Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess! Anyway, Your Majesty has already given you the titles of three wives, and when you come back from Japan, you will simply ask for the title of another wife, so that you will not only have an explanation for the subjects of the Great Song Dynasty, but also will not be wronged by the seventh princess! ”

Wu Zhi looked at Murong Yanda deeply, and his heart was still that the elder brother knew his thoughts, but the elder brother ignored one point.

That is, how can Wu Zhi He De dare to set up four wives?

There are still individual examples of establishing two or three wives in ancient times to refer to, but standing four is really unprecedented and unprecedented, and in the Great Song Dynasty, which is strict in etiquette, this is a transgression, and even an infringement of imperial power, which is the most sensitive. If Wu Zhi makes a great contribution and doesn't know how to restrain himself, marries the fourth wife, and is still a princess, this is Chi's arrogance and high merit.

Even if Zhao Ji is good to Wu Zhi, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be suspicious of him, after all, Wu Zhi has a close relationship with the Qingzhou Army, and he controls the first private consortium, no matter how arrogant these people are, which emperor can sleep peacefully?

Therefore, Wu Zhi had already planned to come back from the envoy to confess his relationship with Ling'er to Zhao Ji, and then take the opportunity to resign from the real power to accompany the lady and accompany Ling'er at home, and after Zhao Ji and Baiguan saw that they had no ambitions, they would go out of the mountain to be a little prime minister, marry Ling'er, and continue to live a happy bureaucratic life.

"It's really a bit of a rush to marry Ling'er immediately when you come back, I think ......"

Seeing the queen's cold face, Wu Zhi immediately turned his eyes to Ling'er for help.

Ling'er understands Wu Zhi very well, she is very happy to learn that Wu Zhi is coming back to make their relationship public, in her opinion, as long as the relationship is open, she can be with Wu Zhi all day long, she is very satisfied, as for the marriage cave room... She's not ready......

"You don't want to give Ling'er a look!"

The queen mother is also a smart person, how can Wu Zhi's small actions hide from her, I saw that after she scolded Wu Zhi, she stood up, quite the majesty of the queen.

"I want you to come back from an envoy and you must marry Ling'er!"

After teasing this sentence, the queen helped Liang Shicheng and left without looking back. also pulled Ling'er away step by step.

Wu Zhi could only look at Brother Murong with an embarrassed expression, but Murong Yanda couldn't help.

"My sister is this kind of personality, and she loves the Seventh Princess too much, but she thinks you are a merry person. I don't trust you, that's why I force you. ”

"Where am I having a relationship?"

Wu Zhi looked wronged. He didn't know why the queen looked at him like this, but he had always behaved very well.

"Intuition ......"

Murong Yanda spread out his hand: "She told me so, but my sister's intuition has always been very accurate." ”

Wu Zhi is bitter in his heart, what can he say about such an unreasonable mother-in-law, even if he is really romantic, how dare he live up to Ling'er!
