At the end of August of the fifth year of Tang Yonghui.

Tai Chi Palace.

Tucked into the cold palace of the court.

It seems that every time the autumn breeze wants to enter the Taiji Palace, it will always walk in from this corner first.

A gentle, cool wind blew, rolled up a scattered leaf on the ground, spun around, and fell again.

If it was repeated three or four times, the leaf had been blown to the front of the court, and the small phoenix shoes embroidered with golden peony flowers were edged.

Slowly, the clothes fell slightly, and the fiery red pomegranate skirt slowly slipped to the ground, covering the pair of pointed phoenix shoes. Oh, slender like spring onions, two fingers, slowly falling, picking up the scattered yellow leaves.

A soft sigh spilled out of his lips.

His eyes, which were still bright, looked ahead without blinking.

Her jet-black hair is still wrapped in a beautiful and dignified Feiyun bun - no matter how lonely she is now, she is the queen of the Tang Dynasty, at least this is fundamental, and it cannot be lost.

Thinking of this, she lowered her eyes, smiled slightly bitterly, and when she raised her eyes again, her bright eyes were already a little gloomy:

It's strange to say......

Since entering this secluded court, since being locked up here, his mind has calmed down a lot, and he is no longer the same as when he was in the Wanchun Palace, everything is everywhere, he thinks a lot, and he has to think about it all the time......

The most surprising thing for her was that "Huainanzi", which had been reading by her pillow before, was now easily complete. And there is a lot of truth in it.

It's just that this kind of thing is not useful at all now.

I closed my eyes and was thinking about Huainanzi, but I heard a light laugh next to me, like a ghost floating in my ears:

"At this time, sister, you can also read the book...... She really deserves to be the daughter of the Taiyuan Wang family! ”

Wang Shanrou smiled faintly, looked at the withered leaves in her hand, stretched out her fingers, let it be swept away by the autumn wind blowing in her hand, and then said lightly:

"At this time, sister, can you still call this palace a sister...... is really worthy of being the daughter of the Lanling Xiao family. ”

With a soft laugh, Xiao Yu, who was strolling in a gorgeous purple and gold thread dress, sounded.

On the towering Wangxian bun, there are still many golden steps and jade hairpins.

Standing side by side with Queen Wang, also looking at the autumn wind blowing the leaves in the court, Xiao Yuyin did not speak for a while.

It wasn't until she saw that the dead leaves that were about to be blown to the ground from Wang Shanrou's hands fell straight into a pond where the lotus leaves had withered, trapped on a dry and rotten waterweed leaf, that she slowly spoke:

"Over the years, the two of us have never been able to talk in one place like today."

"My sister is always busy, so naturally she has no time to talk to this palace."

"My sister can't be idle...... Think about it, those things over the years, one by one, which one, which one, isn't my sister bothering in this Taiji Palace and managing it well? ”

Xiao Yuyin smiled indifferently and turned her eyes to look at Wang Shanrou.

Wang Shanrou didn't pay attention to the gun and sword in her words, and just smiled lightly:

"yes......

This Tai Chi Palace is under the rule of this palace, if you don't manage it well, will it be difficult to bother your sister to come?

Hongu can't be so incompetent. ”

Xiao Yuyin smiled again:

"Why, it turns out that my sister took such pains to arrange for my sister to enter the palace back then, but not to share my sister's worries?

Or, is it just for my sister's favor? ”

As she spoke, she laughed first:

But he couldn't stop ......

Is my sister so virtuous?

I actually know that Your Majesty cherishes the old people, so I specially found a temporary solution for Your Majesty? ”

Wang Shanrou turned her head, looked at her quietly, and said lightly for a while:

"I don't know what my sister means by this. But there is one thing that Hongu knows...... I don't care about this moment, Mingyan and my sister hear it. ”

She looked at Xiao Yuyin calmly and said lightly:

"If there was another choice in the palace back then, he would definitely not let my sister enter the palace."

Then, she turned away.

Xiao Yuyin watched her leave, and her originally smiling gaze suddenly became cold:

"Yes...... You don't know what this palace means, but you also said that if there was another choice back then, you would not let this palace enter the palace......

Really......

It turns out that back then, you really had no choice...... Hehe......"

She laughed to herself, and then said coldly:

"But Wang Shanrou, there is something you haven't thought of?

Even today, you may not have a choice! ”

It's night.

Linyou, Wannian Palace.

Inside the Great Treasure Hall.

Because Li Zhi was still governing in the front hall, he never went to bed, and Li Hong went to bed early, so Mei Niang was alone, reading a book in the palace and waiting for Li Zhi's return.

Not long after, Ming He entered the medicinal soup, but he saw that Mei Niang had changed another copy of "Huainanzi" and was reading it tastefully, so he couldn't help but say lightly:

"Niangniang, if you are idle, then Minghe and you can find a few lighter and simpler essays history, this book eats people's minds, and Niangniang is better to bother less."

When Mei Niang heard this, she looked up at him with great curiosity:

"How do you know this book eats people's minds? I remember you never looked at that. And in terms of this Huainanzi in the world, everyone says that they are self-cultivation? ”

"Really?"

Minghe shook his head:

"If it is really self-cultivation, how can there be a volume of military training?"

Mei Niang raised her eyebrows:

"You've seen it?"

"As soon as they entered the palace, Qinghe and Minghe knew that our brothers were originally going to be favored by the lord to serve the imperial pen and ink, or to follow the mother to drive forward, so early, the master and the masters arranged for the master to teach our brothers, so as not to be disappointed when they worship the two saints in the future."

Minghe carefully tried the medicinal soup for poison, and then took a small cup and dipped it in a little before eating it with Mei Niang:

"So Niangniang, now that your fetal gas is being turned off, you can worry less or less."

Mei Niang looked at him with a smile, nodded and said:

"That's right, that's how it should be......

But it doesn't hurt. ”

Yibi said, she took the medicinal soup and drank it all, and then handed the medicine bowl to Minghe, but she reached out and stroked her already round lower abdomen:

"Brother Sun has a clever saying, when a woman is pregnant, what her mother eats is what her child eats, and what her mother drinks is what her child drinks......

That ......"

She pursed her lips and smiled sideways:

"If you say that if her mother reads and knows, will she not also read and know her child?

I think that if I read two more good books and nourish my mind than the medicinal soup of these bitter people, this child may be able to cultivate more wisdom roots! ”

Minghe was stunned, but Mei Niang could only smile bitterly and shake his head, glanced at the name of the scroll again, and said lightly:

"Niangniang also really knows......

The Wang family had just asked for pen and paper from the court order today, saying that they would put the book on paper that they had learned from reading this book in the past few days, so that it could be completed and published in the future, and the mother also remembered to read it. ”

Mei Niang lowered her eyes and smiled silently.

When Minghe said this, he was also stunned, and secretly regretted that he shouldn't mention the unhappy character, but now when he saw Mei Niang's expression like this, he gradually understood a little, and couldn't help but widen his eyes and said softly:

"Mother's ......"

"I know what she thinks.

That's why I want to take a look at what else I don't know about in this Huainanzi, but what can touch her.

Although I was helpless, I followed her steps......

But it's not for nothing. ”

As soon as these words were spoken, Ming He immediately straightened his back, held the dust in his hand, and said solemnly:

"What did you find?"

"It's nothing......

It's just that she suddenly realized that this alone forbade her, so that she had a chance to calm down and calm down, and it was also a turning point for her.

But it's a pity ......."

Mei Niang smiled faintly, and between her eyebrows, she was full of pride:

"When it comes to this backyard dispute, she may be able to compete for the long and the short.

If she only remembered now that she wanted to fight for the court and the world......

But it was too late. ”

With a sweep of her eyebrows, she turned her eyes to Minghe:

"Pass on my secret order, and ask the British Duchess to meet in secret at the Temple of Mercy and Grace tomorrow!"

Minghe's eyes froze, and he said lightly:

"Order!"

The next afternoon.

Linyou, Wannian Palace.

Today's saint, Emperor Gaozong's concubine, Zhaoyi Wu's family, because she is nearly pregnant, feels the fetal shock frequently, so she asks for holy will, and goes to the Wende Ling Hall of the first holy queen of the Temple of Mercy and Grace in Beijing, to seek the blessing of the match.

When Li Zhi heard this, he was quite reluctant, and because he had not come to the mother spirit for a long time to go forward and bow to the incense, he wanted to go along.

Before he moved, he sent a foreign report, saying that the British Duke Li Ji asked the saint to see him, but he was helpless and could not come out, but he repeatedly told him that he must take care of Zhaoyi'an, but he had to be blessed in the Temple of Mercy and Grace for a night, and he should return early.

(Lingyou, that is, to live in the temple for a night after worshipping, is considered to be a way to get the protection of the heroic spirits of the ancestors)

Mei Niang thanked her, and Yan got up and walked away.

It's night.

Chang'an, in the Temple of Mercy and Grace.

Apse.

Because tonight's picture is meant to be blessed, Mei Niang was named by Li Zhi early Minghe and Tete, pulled out of Dali Temple, and together with the Yu sisters who came together, the entire hall was clean, leaving Mei Niang alone, sitting on the couch that had been laid with a soft and light blanket, while casually flipping through a copy of "Lang Evil Wang's Records" waiting for the arrival of the British Duchess. (Note, this "Lang Evil Wang's List" is my fiction, there is no history of it, it was compiled for the need, please know)

It didn't take long for the British duchess, who was light but still in good spirits, to arrive.

Seeing that she had a courtesy, Mei Niang hurriedly got up from the couch to help, and this time she was so frightened that she and the British duchess were flustered, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, which provoked Mrs. Li to say repeatedly:

"The mother is so gracious, but it makes the old body feel uneasy."

"Madame's words are bad."

Mei Niang stood on the ground, holding Mrs. Li's hand, a pair of black phoenix eyes were as clear as water into Mrs. Li's eyes, and said sincerely:

"Now the Tang Dynasty is as safe as the world, and half of Thailand's achievements are in the British public, regardless of the cold in the northwest, at the cost of his life, desperately come...... Moreover, Madame, you only report the letter of peace to the British Duke every month, and do not disturb him for half a cent of any uneasiness.

If this is not the case, no matter how loyal and stable the British prince is, he will inevitably be disturbed by all things at home and moved his heart......

This kind of knowledge, this kind of righteousness, Mrs. said that if the palace is just a favor, then it is really a useless person who is so ashamed that we who are in Beijing and enjoy the peace and happiness of the Tang Dynasty are not allowed to take care of the British public on weekdays, and we are so ashamed that we have nowhere to hide. ”

With her husband Li Ji, Mrs. Li will naturally not miss the opportunity to be called a virtuous helper.

Not only Li Zhi today, but also when Taizong of the previous dynasty was there, she was often favored by Taizong and praised her virtues.

However, the praise and praise over the years have already made her lose that kind of gratitude - there is no other reason, the sun and the sun are sweet, and she will be tired, not to mention that after this sweetness, it is often carried with an ulterior motive?

Even if the first emperor is the present, why can't she give this grace because she helped her husband?

But today's Mei Niang's words are sincere and sincere, and she said exactly what she really deserves praise and respect......

But how do you tell her not to be moved?

What's more, Wu Meiniang, a woman, has always been an existence that cannot be despised in her heart......

Naturally, Mrs. Li was full of gratitude, but for her, such a few words made her feel warmer than gold, silver, and jade, and her life was warmed by her heart, lungs, and liver and intestines.

So she moistened her eyes slightly, and said softly:

"The mother is too gracious."

"This is not a good reputation, I just want to say that Mrs. Li's virtue is really invisible to men, and it is helpless, but it doesn't matter if it's the lord, the palace, the British duke, or even the millions of hot-blooded men in the entire Western Regions...... It's all visible and clear. But these lies are not much to say, and it is useless to say more. ”

Mei Niang waved her hand, but sat hand in hand with Mrs. Li, who was warmed by Mei Niang's words and slightly wet with tears, and then cut directly to the topic:

"Madame is also embarrassed when she comes out now. But now there is a matter that has to trouble Mrs. to be cautious, and Mo Sect is used by others. ”

Mrs. Li knew that Mei Niang's invitation must have something important, and she was deeply moved, and now when she heard this, she immediately cheered up:

"Please also ask the mother to speak clearly."

"Madame eldest daughter-in-law, if this palace is not mistaken, but it is also a famous family?"

Mrs. Li raised her eyebrows and said lightly:

"Mother is saying...... Shu'er? ”

"Yes, Hongu remembers ......"

Mei Niang picked up the book of "Lang Evil Wang's Records" from the top of the case, turned a few pages but said lightly:

"Yes, it's not a mistake in the palace, she is really the first line of the Lang Evil King's Book Saint King's Right Army......

Well, Sima joined the army (Wang Xizhi's fifth son, Wang Huizhi, once served as the great Sima joined the army, so it is called here as the first line), and the grandson of the great-grandson of Wang's Gongguangxing...... (晜孙, that is, the meaning of the fifth grandson, 晜, Yinkun)

Sure enough, the British Duke is a visionary, and General Li (Li Ji's eldest son Zhen) is also a blessed one.

The Lord often said on weekdays that if the clan is prosperous today, it is actually no more than a hundred years, but it is not as good as the Wang Xie family back then.

And the Lang Evil Wang clan in Wang Xie's house is the real famous family and the real scholarly style......

Not to mention anything else, just talk about this noble daughter-in-law, you know, look at her has a legacy that is enough to shine in the world, but now she is not arrogant, she is still filial piety, and she is also very good at serving the two and General Li......

It can be seen that the name of the Lang Evil Wang's Gaohua is not false.

Such a demeanor, I am afraid that the Taiyuan Wang family, which is now in full swing, will also be quite envious. ”

Mei Niang said lightly, and Mrs. Li was relieved, and said lightly:

"yes...... Such a good child is really Zhen'er's blessing, but it's a pity that she can't get along well, and she also met a husband who is burdened by fame and power, so she can't help but add some troubles to her (that is, the common name of the father-in-law in the Tang Dynasty).

But the mother can rest assured, this child's family is extremely wise, and she will definitely not let others take advantage of it. Even whatever thoughts are in the heart of the starter, they can be dispelled one by one. At least not in our national mansion. It's just ...... outside the Guogong Mansion."

Mrs. Li looked at Mei Niang, and Mei Niang smiled back:

"The British Duke of Datang is the cornerstone of the Great Wall, how can I ask some villains with bad intentions to be so entangled with his young children outside and add more trouble? Madame peace of mind. ”

As she spoke, Mei Niang smiled, patted Mrs. Li's hand gently and firmly, and the two smiled.
