Night.

Chang'an, West City. It's not yet curfew.

The vermilion fence and green tiles are all ink-colored, and only the palace lights under the corridor are as red as fire.

The green window lattice of the small building, with a gentle push of the plain palm like snow, a beautiful female face that does not look like the world appears, just like this, in the eyes of the man who happened to pass by downstairs, stopped and looked up at the top.

Not only him, but many of the men around him also stopped and marveled. Even some women wearing curtains did not stop quietly, and after the curtains of heavy or light white gauze, they also let out some envious sighs.

But the woman didn't know it, just hung her head, and the black hair tied by the gold ring behind her flowed to her chest, looking at the man downstairs, tilting her head, revealing a somewhat evil smile.

People couldn't help but look at the man, but when they saw him, they were stunned:

For he quickly bowed his head and walked away.

Blinking, people just shook their heads and sighed.

But the woman laughed loudly, laughing presumptuously, such a vivid and bright smile, but like a blood-colored rose that overwhelmed the country and the city, blooming in the night, making people's hearts shake, unable to help themselves, as if enchanted, one after another, men, women, went to this small building.

The door sign upstairs only shimmered with a faint golden light under the lantern:

Yichun Ju.

……

A moment later.

The small building seat is already full, only the innermost and deepest room where Murong Yan stays, and only the two of them sit opposite each other in the small pavilion where the word "quiet" and "pure" has the deepest meaning.

If it is said that it is the two of them, it is not all the same, after all, Murong Yan also knows that behind the seemingly green and lovely planting pots behind them, there are countless shadow guards.

"That man really won't let you out alone!"

Murong Yan poured a glass of wine and drank it to herself, but she didn't invite the young man in front of her who was beautiful and didn't lose a few points to herself, but her abdomen was slightly bulging, and she drank it together-

Because he is not him, but her......

When Li Zhi, the son of heaven, was the most beloved woman, she made the entire Liugong Fan Dai lose her color, and she was so jealous that everyone wanted to die in the Lizheng Palace.

Mei Niang smiled skillfully, but said:

"This man really refuses to let Mei Niang come out alone. But it's helpless...... Who is called Miss Murong, but she is the most casual person in the world? ”

"That's right, if I don't look at her well, I'm afraid that even she will have to walk away with her feet?"

A gentle but majestic voice that was difficult to ignore sounded from outside the pavilion, and then the door curtain was lifted, and a long figure dressed in jade-colored gold-inlaid cloud patterns with wide sleeves and a jade crown on his head walked in.

Seeing this, Mei Niang also smiled, Murong Yan still couldn't help but get up after all, and made a heavenly salute to the current son who was dressed as an ordinary noble son, and Li Zhi, the Khan of the sea:

"Murong Yan, grass people, I have seen Your Majesty."

Li Zhi tilted his head and looked at the stunning woman in front of him who was kneeling down with her clothes and her hands crossed, but he first glanced at Mei Niang meaningfully, and then smiled:

"Miss Murong get up quickly."

Murong Yan, who bowed her head, heard the word "quick up", her eyebrows moved, but she didn't say much, just thanked her and got up, and then stood up straight. This caused De'an, who came in behind Li Zhi, to inevitably look at her more - after all, according to the etiquette system, she was such a classless ****, but she could only bow her head sideways and serve one side.

On the other hand, Li Zhi was extremely indifferent, just waved his hand, signaling that she didn't need to be polite, so she called for a seat.

Murong Yan didn't squirm, and after thanking her, she sat down by herself, staring directly at Li Zhi, who was over twenty-five years old, but was still a baby-faced person who was as plump and lovely as a new peach in early summer.

De'an frowned again, and was about to take a step forward to speak, but was lightly said by Li Zhi:

"I don't know if Miss Murong's little sister is still settled down now?"

"Thanks to Your Majesty, everything is fine with my sister now."

Murong Yan replied quietly.

Li Zhi nodded, reached out and took a piece of dim sum and Mei Niang, told her to take it for herself, and not to starve herself--she has been eating a lot lately, and she has become even more greedy--then turned her head and asked with a smile:

"Then, that Cheng Gongzi, I don't know what's going on right now?"

This sudden question not only made Murong Yan's expression change drastically, but even Mei Niang and the others were also stunned, only De'an's expression did not move, but his eyes wavered, and he was obviously shocked.

Li Zhi himself was leisurely, just picked up another piece of honey cake from the plate and told Mei Niang not to stop, eat it well, and while smiling, he also picked up a piece and tasted it.

Murong Yantie blushed, looking at Li Zhi like this, she suddenly took a deep breath for a while, her expression returned to normal, her eyes returned to clarity, and she said lightly:

"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern. Thinking that he is dressed in white, it is also his blessing to be so loved by His Majesty. ”

Li Zhi shook his head, but glanced at Mei Niang, who was enlightened, and then said lightly:

But it's not his blessing, if it weren't for Miss Murong's crush, a figure like Cheng's son, there would be thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty. So speaking of which, he really should thank Miss Murong.

If it weren't for Miss Murong's affection for him, I wouldn't have noticed him. He wouldn't even notice that he was the shadow of the old clan who had received the favor of the first emperor, so naturally he would not have a chance to get back everything from the Cheng family that he should have owned. Miss Murong said, isn't it? ”

Murong Yan's eyes were sharp and she looked at Li Zhi. Such a gaze was so rude, De'an on the side almost screamed, but Li Zhi didn't seem to feel anything, just looked at her lightly, as if he was looking at a vexatious little girl.

In the end, Murong Yan lowered her head:

"Your Majesty knows people, and Murong Yan is difficult to match. Maybe Your Majesty is right, such a man is not a person like Murong Yan who can be a good match. ”

Li Zhi shook his head and said with a faint smile:

"I don't think, what is such a man? What is such a man? You women...... I always feel that all men in the world are chasing fame and fortune, and everyone is greedy for money and lustful......

But I don't know that for us men, the pursuit of fame and fortune is only to gain freedom in our lives, and the greed for money and lust is just to prove our talents...... But of course, this so-called freedom and talent are just the moon in the water, the flowers in the mirror, everything is empty.

To put it mildly, it's just idealism.

Therefore, Miss Murong, in my opinion, if you really have the heart to marry that Cheng son as a lifelong companion and spend this long life, it is not impossible.

Just one thing you need to understand:

He won't make any changes for you, and you won't make any changes for him.

If the two of you want to marry and stay together for the rest of your life, then be yourself.

You are still your Murong Yan, proud, righteous in the heart, admired by everyone, invincible in the world, he is still his Cheng Jing, calculating, deep in the city, everyone says that he is despicable and shameless for his own interests.

That's enough. ”

Murong Yan looked at Li Zhi in surprise, and only chuckled for a while:

"In this way, Your Majesty seems to have some experience in this?"

De'an was already surprised when he heard Li Zhi's words just now, and now he was even more surprised to see that Murong Yan dared to ask like this, and was about to say something, but Li Zhi chuckled and said:

"Isn't it?"

While speaking, Li Zhi also reached out to hold a piece of honey cake and filled it into his mouth with a smile, and when he heard the conversation between Murong Yan and Li Zhi, he stopped his hand and said:

"If you look at me and Mei Niang, you'll know."

When Murong Yan heard this, she raised her willow eyebrows.

Li Zhi nodded, smiled and picked up a piece of honey cake and Mei Niang, who was a little disgusted, and made a look to signal her not to complain, and then turned his eyes, took an indifferent and calm gaze, and replaced the tender eyes when he looked at Mei Niang, and said softly:

"I came today to reassure her.

Because for her, if I don't see you for a day, she won't be at ease for a day. ”

Murong Yan looked at Mei Niang, who was a little embarrassed, and raised her eyebrows and smiled:

"Because of this skin?"

"Because of this look."

Li Zhi nodded, smiled, reached out to get another piece of dim sum to plug Mei Niang's mouth, Mei Niang squinted, didn't answer, just stared at him, he still smiled at her with a hot face, laughed until she was completely out of anger, turned and flipped his black ink white eyes on an apricot pit, and took the dim sum to eat, then turned his head to look at Murong Yan, and said lightly:

"She cares about her appearance, especially lately. I always feel that I am not old, not as cute and touching as those young and delicate girls, and even more worried about whether I am more and more yellow and long-faced after I am pregnant with this child......

It's just that her temperament has always been like this, she has always pressed herself, she will coax herself, no matter how much anxiety she has, no matter how much anxiety she has, she will only nest in her own heart, as my mother said:

Some women, from a distance, look like a mountain of ice and snow that has not melted for thousands of years, and they will never move. In fact, there is a fire burning all the time inside, and if you are not careful, you will burn yourself into ashes.

So I have always been with her, because the most important thing in my heart is her, whether it is the Tang Dynasty in the world, before or after her death, she is not as important as her.

To put it more bluntly, if it weren't for me falling in love, she was a woman who would put the world and me in her heart, I was afraid that if I sat on this throne, I would be destined to be the second King of Zhou You. ”

Li Zhi's heartfelt words, but Mei Niang was embarrassed to look directly at the smiling Murong Yan, but blindly turned her head to the side, her eyes only stared at the dim sum on the dim sum plate, as if there was some gold hidden in it.

Murong Yan nodded and said with a smile:

"Sure enough, Your Majesty is a man of temperament."

"Yes, I am not a person suitable to be an emperor, but because she is a woman suitable for the future, I am the emperor. But that doesn't mean I'm going to change myself for her.

I am still the one who can fight without fighting with others, but once I fight, I must be a naïve slave who wants to get the final result by unscrupulous means, and I am still the king of Jin who seems to be kind and kind, but in fact everyone can't go straight to my heart - except for her. ”

Li Zhi said lightly:

"She is the same, it seems that she is still the forbearant and resolute Wu Meiniang, but in fact she is still the girl who just entered the palace back then, the general love and righteousness, the general to protect herself as a confidant, do not hesitate to let go of hatred, the general desperate for revenge, the general does not take the eyes of the world to heart, the general act resolutely, do not care about the so-called name behind the world, the so-called floating name in the world, the so-called name of the annals."

Murong Yan lowered her head and nodded after a while:

"So Your Majesty wants to tell Murong Yan that if you want to be the head of the two prime ministers with him, the best way is that I am me, he is him, not me to become Mrs. Cheng for him, and not for me to become Murong Yan's husband?"

"Even if Jiro doesn't say it today, Mei Niang wants to tell Miss Murong this sentence."

Mei Niang on one side, after all, still opened her mouth, and said softly:

"If Jiro dies today, then Mei Niang will still live well, because Mei Niang knows that what Jiro loves is the Mei Niang who can let herself live well no matter when and where. Just like Mei Niang's love, it is also the same Jiro who will let himself live well no matter when and where.

He is him, no matter what he looks like, my Wu Meiniang's husband is him. I am me, no matter what I am, his wife is me. ”

Murong Yan looked at Li Zhi and Mei Niang's handshakes, and after a while, she smiled lightly:

"That's why Your Majesty is here today, just to know more about Shen Shu, right? Because His Majesty knows that once the case of Shen Shu is opened, will it be the biggest opportunity to set up another after the abolition? ”

Li Zhi nodded and said softly:

"Yes. At present, the only way to open a gap in this stalemate is to open a gap in my cousin. But during his father's lifetime, there were many things that couldn't stand him, although it was the matter of the ancestors, but after all, I couldn't force it. ”

Murong Yan pondered for a moment, but suddenly sighed:

"Sure enough, Your Majesty's wisdom is difficult for ordinary people to reach...... That's it, such a thing has nothing to do with Murong Yan, not to mention that Murong Yan has no need to hide it for him......

And think about it, I'm afraid that he also wants His Majesty to know these things, so he is willing to recognize his identity in front of Li Dexian......"

She sighed lightly again, and then changed to a solemn expression and said:

"That's right, in Shen Shu's hands, there is indeed a big killing move that can make the rear change hands with a single blow. Just ......"

"Princess Han, right?"

Mei Niang smiled and said lightly:

"Before the prime minister died, he still couldn't tolerate the matter of Mei Niang and Zhilang, and since the current situation was set up by him, he naturally wouldn't tolerate the abolition of the Wang family and make me the queen."

Murong Yan nodded, and said:

"Not bad. Although Shen Shu has this trick at the moment, he still listens to Princess Han's dispatch in the end. If you want him to make a move, you have to make Princess Han nod.

Because to him......"

Murong Yan's gaze became complicated, with a hint of deep sympathy:

"Princess Han is not just the status of the daughter of his old master."

Li Zhimei Niang was stunned when she heard this, and instantly understood.
