Taiji Palace, Lizheng Palace.

Mei Niang sat in front of the hall, looking at Yinke and Jinqi who were arguing over where to place a jade screen, and couldn't help but smile faintly. These two children, she can be said to have obtained from the most unexpected places. Unexpectedly, after a few trainings, he became such a good boy. The more she thought about it, the more satisfied she became, and her gaze at Yinke Jinwan became gentle.

At this moment, Yuru slowly entered, and saluted her lightly: "Niangniang, the lord has arrived in front of the Lizheng Palace." ”

When Mei Niang heard this, her expression was slightly restrained, and she lowered her eyes for a long time before she said lightly: "Why did you come?" ”

"Mother's ......"

"Go ask for clarification."

As soon as she said a word, Yuru had to go out to inquire. After a while, she hurriedly came to report again: "Niangniang, in the afternoon, Uncle Yuan entered the Taiji Hall and saw the Lord." ”

When Mei Niang heard this, she frowned lightly, and then said lightly after a while: "Over there in the East Palace...... Has Jiro ever been there? ”

"Since the edict of the abolished prince was established on that day, it has been a long time since we met." Jade is like a light road.

Mei Niang closed her eyes and opened them again, her eyes full of pity and relief: "...... Got it, give the order, take the drive. ”

"Yes." Yuru was overjoyed, and she didn't have time to think about why Mei Niang's attitude suddenly changed, so she ran out instead.

Seeing this, Minghe, who was on the side, stepped forward and said lightly: "Niangniang...... It's for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"

"What this palace owes to his mother and son, as long as there is a certain situation today, it will be repaid, and it will have nothing to do with it in the future. Not to mention ......"

She paused for a while before she said lightly: "His body is like that, if he is left to be taken care of by others, how can this palace be at ease?" ”

Minghe nodded yes.

……

Midnight.

Li Zhi hugged Mei Niang tightly and refused to let go, and only said lightly after a while: "You are still willing to forgive me after all." ”

"Only this time, if there is a ...... next time" Mei Niang's words were not finished, and she already felt that Li Zhi's hands were tightly clamped, almost breaking her waist.

"No, it won't. Not anymore. Li Zhi whispered.

Mei Niang smiled faintly, but no longer spoke, only snuggled into his arms, and let him carefully rub his forehead for himself.

After a while, Li Zhi suddenly said lightly: "After this period of time, can you accompany me to Feng Zen?" ”

"Me? What am I going to do with you? ”

"You are pregnant now, leaving you alone in the palace, I am not at ease after all. What's more......" Li Zhi rested his chin on the top of her head and muttered, "Didn't we say it a long time ago?" In the future, we will travel the world together. ”

Mei Niang was silent, and said softly for a while: "Okay." But before you leave, you always have to take care of everything inside and outside the palace. ”

"It doesn't matter. You are now pregnant for the first time, and it is inconvenient to act rashly if you are afraid, so it is natural to wait until the fetal gas is stable before leaving. At that time, Hong'er's position has been decided, and he will leave his uncle ......"

Speaking of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Zhi suddenly stopped, silent, a little clear and a little stunned in his eyes.

"What's wrong with Uncle Yuan?" Mei Niang lay in his arms, listening to his sudden slower heartbeat, and asked lightly.

Li Zhi was silent for a while before he said, "It's nothing...... I just want to say that by that time, leaving my uncle to accompany Hong'er will naturally be fine. And he doesn't follow, and he doesn't nag less. ”

"That'...... Among the three princes, there must always be one who follows. Think it's a British duke? ”

"He's the right fit. After all, in the future, he is the one who will replace his uncle. Li Zhi said softly.

Mei Niang was silent for a while before she said, "It's indeed ......"

The husband and wife were speechless for a while. Listening to each other's breathing and heartbeat, after a while, Mei Niang asked, "Isn't there anything Jiro has to ask Mei Niang?" ”

"No need." When Li Zhi heard her ask, he suddenly sighed, closed his eyes slightly, and then hugged her body tightly and buried his face in her neck socket: "No need...... You're all for me. ”

Mei Niang was speechless, and could only hug tenderly.

……

The next day, in the afternoon.

Taiji Palace, in the Taiji Palace, above the jade steps.

Li Zhi was dressed in ink, holding a hand stove in his hand, looking ahead in a trance, and asked softly for a while, "Is Ryan back?" ”

"Master Ryan has already returned to the main palace...... But the Lord is calling him? When Qinghe heard this, he immediately said lightly.

Li Zhi nodded yes, so someone immediately went to spread the word. After a while, Ryan hunched his back slightly and hurried in. Salute, get up, and say softly:

"I wonder what the Lord is calling Ryan, what's the matter?"

"You don't know about the things in the Hongwen Pavilion, right?" Li Zhi asked Ruian with some hesitation, and when he saw that he was really at a loss, he closed his eyes and sighed slightly, and then asked again: "What about I summoning Liu Hongye in...... Mei Niang knows that, right? ”

Ryan immediately bowed his head and was silent.

Seeing him like this, Li Zhi felt a lot calmer in his heart—or rather, there was a trace of joy.

He put his hands behind his back, got up slowly, slowly walked down the steps, came to Ryan, stood still, stared at him twice, turned his head and crossed him, walked to the door of the hall, looked outside the hall, and said softly, but firmly in his voice: "Even ...... Liu Hongye will enter the palace to ask for a meeting and ask for retirement...... It was Mei Niang who made you want him to come. Really? ”

Ryan immediately stiffened, knelt down in the middle of the night, and knocked: "The minister should die!" ”

Li Zhi was not angry, but he laughed, and after a while, he shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Is it for the two children of Zhong'er and Xiao'er?" Xiao'er entered the palace, that is, you managed to move the people around him and make him believe that if he wanted to protect his body, he would definitely have to enter the palace...... Right? ”

Ryan bowed to the ground.

Li Zhi sighed, closed his eyes, opened them again, and said lightly: "Compared to Zhong'er, I feel that it is Xiao'er who is most sorry. He is so indisputable and unscrupulous...... The so-called non-competition for victory...... So naturally, he will receive more mercy and more care from me. As for Zhong'er, after the matter of filial piety, I will inevitably feel more guilty about him again. Therefore, this child will naturally always sit back and relax and be a rich idler. Two children who have been ashamed of my life can be preserved, and they are my preservation. In this way, every time I think about these two children in the future, my guilt will naturally be slightly lessened, and it will be much better...... This is what Mei Niang wants. Right? ”

Ryan said after a while: "What Niang Niang does, everything is Lord." ”

Li Zhi nodded, and after a while, he said: "Next, my uncle wants to enter the book, please treat Zhong'er more favorably, so that he will not be lonely for the rest of his life." In this way, my uncle gained a good name, I gained a good name, and the two children of Zhong'er and filial piety got real benefits. Even Hong'er doesn't feel guilty because her brother suffers when she grows up......

And what about her? What does she get? ”

Ryan raised his eyes and looked at Li Zhi, who was a little confused, and after a while, he suddenly shook his head and said with a light smile: "Lord...... Do you think the mother got nothing? ”

He looked at Li Zhi for a while before slowly shaking his head and saying, "It's you!" What she gets is what is most precious to her—your joy, your peace...... Lord, this is the most precious thing for a mother, don't you understand it to this day? ”

Li Zhi understands, of course he understands.

It's just that what he can't figure out anyway is......

Mei Niang has been watching him come through the ups and downs all these years.

She watched him kill and plot, she watched him plot against his brother, and she watched him coldly abuse his wife and children......

Such a man, how could she still think about him like this?

She doesn't feel ...... Is he a despicable man?

The first month of the second year of the Tang Dynasty.

Tang Gaozong Li Zhi was appointed as the crown prince of the new Hou Wu clan because of the discussion of the ministers, and he also ordered the crown robe.

On behalf of Wang Hong, benevolence, love and filial piety, the courtiers are quite willing, and they are all good.

The next day, Li Zhi announced the decree again, because this year is the first month of the leap month, the winter time is extended, and the capital is located in the northwest, the weather is particularly bitter and cold, the civil and military officials can not help it, and many important people are all affected by the cold and sick, but the order of the court up and down, as far as possible to move to the eastern capital Luoyang, to spend the winter cold.

……

It's day, it's afternoon.

In the Lizheng Palace, because of the need to govern the things that should go to the Eastern Capital. That's why he's so busy. All kinds of up and down, all of them are in a hurry, beaming.

On the one hand, Ryan and Minghe were taking stock of the corresponding things in one place, but the Yu sisters, who were in charge of internal affairs, had some leisure at this time, so they packed up Mei Niang's clothes behind the palace and took the time to say a few gossips.

It's gossip, but it's also somewhat related to the current incident.

"Sister, didn't you say before that you were going to Feng Zen? How did it become a trip to the Eastern Capital again? Yuming looked at his sister and asked in a low voice.

Yuru shook her head, folding her clothes in her hand, and said in a low voice: "Originally, I was going to Feng Zen, but I heard that because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is young, the Lord is not at ease, so he has to wait for another two years, so he refuted the recitals of those courtiers." ”

Yuming sighed, then turned his head to look at Mei Niang, who was packing up her clothes for Li Hong, who was playing coquettishly and not letting go, and lowered her voice again: "In this way, what Qinghe said is true." ”

"Qinghe? What did he say? ”

He said...... The previous Liu Hongye entered the temple to ask for the Lord's permission to retire, but it was the mother's idea! for the Lord's sake. ”

"Huh? Liu Hongye's entry into the palace was Niangniang's idea? ”

"Well, it seems that I conspired with Uncle Yuan before, saying that it was calculated that the lord would use Liu Hongye to laugh with the mother, so that the mother could use the topic to play, so that the lord's mind could be diverted from the waste prince. When the lord was worried about making the mother angry, he asked Uncle Yuan to come forward to make an idea for the lord, and calmed his mind back.

In this way, when Uncle Yuan persuaded the Lord to give the crown prince a gift, it would be much easier to say. The abolished prince can really be a rich and idle man in peace and stability, and he will definitely not lose his life. This can be regarded as the Lord making amends to him...... In this way, in the future, the Lord will no longer have to suffer about his past with the deposed prince.

Not only that, but also His Royal Highness King Xu. The **** came to the palace to see the saint, and begged the Lord Mo Lichu to be with him, according to Qinghe, most of them were also mentioned by His Royal Highness King Xu, and he thought of this trick.

And as soon as he entered the palace, Niangniang must have arranged a backhand, so that he could get so many benefits, and also let the lord notice his embarrassing situation, and even got a shadow guard as a life amulet......

Niangniang is very hard, I am afraid that it is all for the sake of the Lord to think about the present, but I don't regret that I have not fulfilled the responsibility of my father! ”

As soon as Yuming's words came out, Yuru was stunned for a while, and only after a while did she blink and say:

"You mean to say......

This abolished prince, not only does Niang Niang not plan to get rid of him, but even design the Lord to keep him safe in his life? This...... If the Lord knew about it......"

Yuming sighed and said, "Sister is so confused, Ming'er said that it was Qinghe who said it...... Do you think the Lord will not know? ”

Yuru closed her mouth. Indeed, if it is Qinghe said, it is most likely ...... No, it is basically certain that this matter is what Li Zhi said and Qinghe could only think of.

It's just that......

Yuru looked at Yuming and said in a low voice: "Don't Niangniang know the mind of the abolished prince?" ”

"What if you know? Don't know what? For the sake of the Lord's reputation, she always wants to ensure that their father and son can leave a word of affection. What's more, in Niangniang's heart, she always feels that she owes a little affection to the abolished prince and his biological mother. You know this, and the Lord knows it. That's why the Lord will be so silent this time, and follow the thoughts of Niangniang and Uncle Yuan. ”

"In this way, the Hongwen Pavilion on that day ...... When Niangniang and Uncle Yuan met, it was to make a plan...... Also, with a figure like the Lord, if it weren't for these two joining forces, who would be able to count him in? ”

Yuru sighed lightly, looked back at Mei Niang, and her eyes were full of awe: "Even ...... I'm afraid that this will accurately calculate the plan determined by the Lord's heart...... If you change to another person, you can't do it. Only the mother...... It's just her. ”
