When all the people in the Tang Dynasty heard her words, they all changed color. But the faces of the envoys of various countries were either silent or gloating.

The other concubines and princes were just worried, but Mei Niang was shocked, and whispered to Suqin Xu Hui: "Look at those envoys...... I really can't imagine that after so many years, the neighboring countries have not surrendered to the Tang Dynasty as they have heard and known, but it is only because of the growing power of the Tang Dynasty that they have no choice but to do it. If Tang Guoli is not there that day, wouldn't it have to be the opposite? ”

On the other side, the young slave was also secretly frightened, and said to the fourth brother Li Ke: "Fourth brother, look at these people, they are so happy to see my Tang Dynasty humiliated...... That's not good. Although our country is strong and the monarchs and ministers are harmonious, if we are dragged down by these small clans around us, I am afraid that it will not be good. ”

Li Ke said with a smile: "When you don't know the key to politics, this is the case between countries in ancient times. Since you have conquered others, you must naturally have the opportunity to tolerate other people's questions, and it is indeed not good if you don't give such an opportunity. It's not good if that momentum is suffocated. That's why there is a big domestic court, and it is just a matter of letting them show their abilities to some extent. ”

As soon as the young slave was about to speak, he heard the prince next to him sneer: "The fourth brother's words seem to be quite reasonable, but in fact, if this domestic court meeting is for such reasons, why bother with the emperor asking for all kinds of things, our Tang Dynasty must take the lead?" The meaning of this great court meeting is to show the strength of my Tang Dynasty in everything. ”

Qingque saw that the eldest brother and King Wu were fighting again, and only sandwiched the young slave in the middle, and also smiled, and came over to relieve the siege: "What the eldest brother said is reasonable, and so is the third brother, but he is still young, but he is afraid that he can't understand it, come and come, drink and drink."

Hearing this, the two of them, who were like black-eyed chickens, loosened their minds and drank without mentioning it. The young slave wanted to hear the opinion of the fourth brother, who had always been the most knowledgeable, so he followed him when he left them and returned to the table, and said, "What does the fourth brother think? Listen to the slaves! The fourth brother is the smartest. ”

Seeing that the younger brother said this, and looked at no one on the left and right, Qingque smiled and said: "I'm afraid that my father has a heart, and I want to take a look, among these countries, which country has the heart of not being subordinate to the Tang Dynasty, and then bending to rectify it!"

When the young slave heard this, he was a little disappointed - he actually knew the reason of the three elder brothers early on - he accompanied Taizong every day, how could he not know that he had discussed with many ministers about the affairs of the great court meeting? This time, I just wanted to hear what my brothers could have different opinions from my father, but I was disappointed, and when I saw that Qingque was pulled to discuss the way to deal with it, I had to think sullenly, if he was my father, how to act?

Well-if he is his father, he will show weakness first, arouse everyone's suspicion, and be honest with each other, admit his own shortcomings, and take his great virtue from the country, showing the greatness of the Tang Dynasty in the world, and he has the bearing of tolerating himself and others. Let's observe the meaning of everyone - at this moment, those who are antipathetic and loyal to the Tang Dynasty will inevitably behave differently. Then he set up a strange plan to show his true strength and everyone, and the heart of the country on the spot. In the end, if there are countries that need to be wary of the rebellion, if they do not obey, they will be punished, and if they have the intention of being negative, they will be punished and destroyed if they persist for a long time and hurt the hearts of our people. If you sincerely surrender to Datang, you will help it......

I don't know if this kind of chess is right or not?

But it turned out that this kid regarded this military event as a game of chess. And because he was young after all, he had never just listened, just like a student, who knew everything but had never used it, so he couldn't help but find a teacher to ask.

I wanted to ask my uncle, but when I saw that he had a heavy complexion, he had no choice but to look at Mei Niang - the way of chess, only Mei Niang could talk to herself.

However, when I looked at it, I found that Mei Niang didn't know when to leave the table, so she got up and quietly told De'an to look for Mei Niang.

Mei Niang got up, but came out to change her clothes.

However, when I thought of the time in the palace, I didn't want to participate in it for a while, and when I saw him, I was always angry in my heart, so I didn't want to come out, turn around, and scatter my heart.

Ryan followed closely, but Mei Niang also retreated to the side.

Ryan had no choice but to turn around and walk back, but he happened to run into a young slave who came to look for Mei Niang.

"Where's Sister Wu?"

"Lord Wang, Sister Wu seems to have something on her mind, saying that she wants to walk alone. Now, should I be at the small bridge and flowing water in the small garden? After all, she has been with Mei Niang for a while, and Ryan is still familiar with Mei Niang's heart.

When the young slave heard this, he was also relieved, and said, "Then I'll go and accompany her!" As he spoke, he took him with him.

Ryan guessed correctly, Mei Niang was sitting on the small bridge at the moment, on the top of the low bridge pillar, watching the fish swimming in the water, free.

After a while, familiar footsteps sounded.

Mei Niang looked up and saw the face that was too familiar to be more familiar.

Mei Niang was speechless, and she didn't bow down, she just turned her head and continued to look at the fish swimming in the water.

"You...... Are you okay? ”

Looking at Mei Niang's face that was more beautiful than when she first met, Hongye asked softly.

"Good or bad, you can see it when you look at it." Mei Niang was indifferent, but her slender ten fingers tightly grasped the cloud cloak in her hand.

Liu Hongye was silent, only holding on to the bridge pillar, bowing his head and saying nothing.

After a long time, Mei Niang said, "I should thank you more." Ah Yi wrote and said that if it weren't for you, I was afraid that my mother would not be allowed to enter after being kicked out of the house by the eldest brother and second brother. ”

"It's a trivial matter, so why worry about it. As long as you can have peace of mind, it doesn't matter. It's just that when they spread that prophecy before, I couldn't stop it after all. Liu Hongye said sadly.

Mei Niang raised her head, looked at the floating clouds in the sky, and said leisurely: "Brother Hongye, you and I have known each other since childhood, and we know Mei Niang's heart. I don't ask much, but if I do, I'll do it. Therefore, whether this prophecy is scattered or not, I will not remain in the palace. Yes, my mother's thoughts were in vain. ”

When Liu Hongye heard this, a bright light flashed in his eyes: "You...... But do you really have such a thought? ”

"No matter what happens to you and me, I will never stay in this palace." Mei Niang said indifferently: "Not for you, not for my mother, but for myself." I don't like the people in this palace. Although, I also made a few close friends, and I ...... There was a glimmer of luxury. But I don't belong to the people in this palace after all. ”

Mei Niang got up lightly and said lightly: "I'm too arrogant and too decisive. Can't even tolerate a Liu Mansion, let alone the Taiji Palace, which is the most intolerable and reckless in the world? ”

Liu Hongye took a step forward and said earnestly: "Father, he ...... Father, when he saw such a scene yesterday, he already had some remorse...... Mei Niang...... You wait for me, wait for me for a while, okay? ”

Mei Niang was red-clothed, snow-skinned like jade, turned her head to look at him, and said with a wry smile:

"Waiting for you? Brother Hongye, the day I entered the palace, I waited for you.

I was in the Chang'an Station, standing in front of the window, looking at the passing carriages one by one, looking at the galloping horses one by one, counting the people who came and went one by one......

I started waiting from the moment I was a child, eating, dressing, dressing, etc...... Waited until sunset, until the moonrise...... And then in the end, what I waited for was a piece of holy will, and I immediately entered the palace......

Do you know how I survived that day? ”

Liu Hongye was speechless, just looked at her, his eyes were earnest, and he said after a while:

"On that day, I went, but when I got to the door, I was stopped by my father, and I was ...... ...... again"

Mei Niang said: "I handed over my sister's handwritten letter to you, which said, you must bother again, because I once said to my mother, 'I go to serve the Son of Heaven, and my mother does not need to be sad'." Yes and no? ”

Hongye bowed his head.

"Brother Hongye, I met you at the age of three, what kind of person am I, don't you know? I said that, but how did I cry and helpless to do such a thing against my will, don't you know? ”

Mei Niang's heart ached and looked at Hongye: "No...... You know, you know everything, but you can't bear it, and you don't want to face it. On that day, you came on purpose. I know.

But I also know that it was the afternoon of that day, when you and the young lady of the Wang family made six ceremonies (that is, the engagement of the same generation). You can't leave. Yes and no? ”

Hongye was speechless, and only cried for a while: "I...... I'm also helpless......"

"I know, I know your helplessness. If you don't comply, she will die without food...... I also know that it has been two years since you got married, but that Miss Wang is still ...... Still a virgin...... It's just that she's as arrogant as I am, and she doesn't want to admit it. But...... Brother Hongye, since she has married you as his wife, if you treat her like this, even Mei Niang feels cold, and I also think that if Mei Niang gets along with her, will you treat me like this?

Thinking about it, Mei Niang became more and more glad that not marrying you was the greatest luck in Mei Niang's life. ”

Liu Hongye's heart ached, and he finally whimpered, took a step forward, stretched out his hand to pull her shirt, and his eyes were like a sea of tears: "Except for you, Liu Hongye will never marry another woman as his wife in his life." But the son is a filial one, and he must obey it...... Mei Niang...... Do you know how much pain I was on the night of my wedding? ”

Mei Niang sighed: "Whether you are in pain or not, Brother Hongye." From the day you married Miss Wang, you and I are destined to have no husband and wife for the rest of our lives. For if I marry you, you will be in a dilemma, and I will be in a dilemma...... In this way, it is better not to marry. ”

Liu Hongye hurriedly said: "But you said that you want to leave the palace......"

"I want to leave the palace, and it has nothing to do with you. I'm a freewheeling woman by nature, and although I'm not for you, I also want to live happily.

To be honest, if it weren't for the things that His Majesty has done today that hurt my heart, I would have been a veritable concubine in his palace today......

Liu Gongzi, you and I have long been the yellow flowers of the past, and they will no longer bloom.

It's okay to make it clear today, but from today on, I, Wu Zhao and you, Liu Hongye, should not be the same as before, and get along with each other with courtesy. Liu Gongzi, please go back. ”

Mei Niang saluted coldly, Liu Hongye was extremely sad when he saw her so decisive, he turned around and wanted to leave, but he stopped, touched his chest with his hand, took out an object and turned back, looking at her with hope:

"If you say so, well, I can't refute you, then what is it...... I'll give it back to you, okay? ”

Hanging between the two was a stone as smooth as jade, but not jade, with concentric knots on it.

Mei Niang saw it, took it back indifferently, put it in the palm of her hand and weighed it back and forth, and said lightly: "This thing? I can't believe you're still keeping. Maybe the two of us got it in the creek in front of the door, and at this moment, let it return to the water! ”

After speaking, in Liu Hongye's stunned gaze, his hand was raised lightly, and his eyes were thrown into the water in an instant.

There was a "plop" sound, and only heavy ripples remained, on the surface of the water, and finally disappeared.

Seeing this, Liu Hongye's heart was like ashes, and when he looked at Mei Niang's gaze, he also became unfamiliar:

"You've changed, you're no longer the same girl you used to be......"

Mei Niang said indifferently:

"People change. Besides, you have changed, why can't I? ”

Liu Hongye stumbled a step and finally nodded: "Okay...... Well, to put it well, people will change...... It's me who is so stupid. It's me...... Too silly. Martial arts people, farewell. ”

After speaking, he didn't look back, so he threw his sleeves and left.
