Taiji Palace, Taiji Palace.

It's rare that today's snow is clear, and all the important things in Li Zhi's heart have been dealt with one by one, and he is very happy, so he wants to go back to the Lizheng Palace as soon as possible to see Mei Niang. As soon as he was about to pass the news, he heard a report that Liu Hongye wanted to see.

Immediately, Li Zhi's face pale, and after thinking about it for a while, he ordered Tongzhi.

After a short time, Liu Hongye, who slowly crossed his hands and entered as a salute, stood in front of Li Zhiyu's case, bowed and sang praises according to the ceremony, got up again, and calmly faced Li Zhi.

Li Zhi was holding a book in his hand, and it seemed that he was just staring intently at the annotations on it, but he had already looked at Liu Hongye in the afterglow...... Seem...... Hasn't changed much......

Then, he lightly put down the scroll, raised his eyes, looked at him expressionlessly for a while, and suddenly smiled faintly: "Liu Qing hasn't seen him for a long time, and his abundance has not diminished back then." ”

Liu Hongye looked at Li Zhi - although he didn't want to say that...... But I have to admit that today's Li Zhi, just like the Jin King Zhinu he had seen at the domestic court meeting back then, is plump and jade, handsome and beautiful......

The kind of bloodline inherited from the three generations of emperors, the style and bones of the ninth noble family, raised by Emperor Taizong and Empress Wende himself, and the delicate temperament born with jade and gold is real, so that even if this man is only standing in the crowd in ordinary clothes, he can already use a direct look and a smiling expression, so that no one can ignore his existence.

And it was such a man who actually ...... Or until now, it seems that she once occupied her heart......

Is......

Liu Hongye suddenly felt gloomy in his heart: Why was she willing to give up such an infatuated man for the sake of such a self? And why? She who reads him so sincerely and sincerely......

Back then, he didn't know how to cherish?

Too many questions and too few answers...... Nai's time is in a hurry, fate is like a wheel, he and her are destined to be just monarchs and ministers. What's more, he now has more important people.

Thinking of this, he closed his eyes and lowered his head calmly: "The ministers are terrified, the holy face of the Son of Heaven is as bright as tomorrow, and the luxury is as bright as the moon. ”

Li Zhi shook his head, smiled faintly, got up, took his hands, and looked at him for a moment in place, then turned around, walked on the jade steps, paced the red carpet, slowly walked to him, stood side by side with him, and stood side by side with him, and then turned his head sideways to look at him, and said lightly: "Liu Qing is here, what do you want to see me?" As he spoke, he walked slowly to the door of the hall, and Qinghe put on a robe for himself, looking at the snow scene outside the hall that was as bright as a crystal world illuminated by the sun.

Liu Hongye turned around, and then looked at the man who was as white as a jade carving, his eyebrows and temples were as bright as ink, his eyes were as clear as a star, and his lips were as red as a cold plum...... There is one thing for your Majesty's permission. ”

Li Zhi looked at him: "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty has done everything he has ordered. Please also ask Your Majesty to allow the ministers to return to their hometowns with their wives and children. Liu Hongye exhaled lightly, closed his eyes, and opened his eyes again, his gaze resolute.

When Li Zhi heard this, he didn't look at him, but turned his head and looked at the little attendants who His Highness began to carry baskets and other things, and was ready to clean up, and suddenly said lightly: "Qinghe, you go, tell them that the snow here does not need to be swept for the time being." ”

"Huh? Yes? But Lord, this ...... This snow is not removed, I am afraid that the ministers will come and go, and the lord will ...... you" Qinghe was at a loss, and he couldn't help but look at Liu Hongye, who was also a little uneasy.

Li Zhi shook his head: "No need to sweep ...... After a while, Hong'er finished her homework and wanted to follow Mei Niang here. But he has a fresh temperament for two days, so here he is stubborn. As for those who come and go......"

He thought for a moment, then turned his head to look at the door of the side hall: "It's cold, and the study room in the side hall is much warmer than the main hall." What's more, it is also convenient to travel to and from several provinces. Just clear a snow trail from there. ”

Qinghe was stunned when he heard it, but he didn't dare to disobey the order, so he hurriedly responded, muttering in his heart what kind of trouble this was, and at the same time, he cautiously slid left and right and ran out to order those little attendants to act according to the order. Then he turned around and thought about it, and then he ran back and asked, "But the Lord ...... It is the love and stubbornness of His Royal Highness on behalf of the king...... But what about the mother...... I can't ...... right now."

"That's why I asked you to clear the snow trails on both sides of the side hall." Li Zhiqi calmed down and said a sentence, and he heard it clearly and almost had a bitter face: God...... He...... Where did you just say that the slopes on both sides should be cleared?

But in the end, the world belongs to the king's land, how can he, a small king's subject, dare to disobey the king's order? Naturally, I had to run down again and make up the orders to those little eunuchs.

Li Zhi looked at him busy, but he also shook his head and said to himself: "Really...... It's getting more and more confused. But not as smart as his master...... What to do about things always has to be explained thoroughly before I can understand. ”

Liu Hongye listened to it on the side, although he also felt that Li Zhi's order was really inappropriate, but it was none of his business, so he could only be silent.

After a while, Li Zhi suddenly said: "If you want to leave, it is also time to go." Just ......"

He turned around, looked at Liu Hongye, and said lightly: "I heard that you and the queen are old acquaintances......

Liu Hongye's heart sank, and he was about to say something, but Li Zhi took a step and said lightly: "It's time to see it." ”

……

A moment later.

When Mei Niang entered the hall, the first thing she saw was naturally Li Zhi, who was standing in front of the steps, smiling at herself, and stretched out her hand.

That's why she smiled indifferently, walked forward slowly, walked to his side, stretched out her hand to hold his, and said lightly: "Why is Jiro so kind today?" actually left the snow in front of the Taiji Hall to the child...... If Uncle Yuan and they know, they will inevitably give you a headache again. ”

Li Zhi smiled faintly, but led her to step up the stairs slowly, after sitting on the dragon seat, he watched her also sit down on the phoenix seat on his side, and took the initiative to take a hand warmer for her, hugged her tightly, and then smiled: "It's okay, there is nothing big in the past two days, so he is stubborn." It's you, who are so idle today, take him back and forth...... Are you okay? ”

In the last sentence, Li Zhi's gaze was on Mei Niang's belly, staying for a long time.

Mei Niang smiled and lowered her head and gently stroked her belly, then said, "Okay." ”

Li Zhi saw that her complexion was ruddy, but she knew that it was true, so he relaxed his heart, and then said lightly: "Speaking of which, there is someone who wants you to see it today." ”

Mei Niang was stunned, and before she could ask, she heard a somewhat unfamiliar but somewhat familiar voice: "Minister Liu Hongye, see the queen mother." ”

As soon as Liu Hongye's three words entered her ears, Mei Niang was stiff, looked at Li Zhi, and her face couldn't help but fade.

Li Zhi didn't answer, just looked at her fixedly.

She also looked back at him, and only turned her head for a while to look at Liu Hongye, who was kneeling at the bottom of the stairs, and said lightly: "Liu Qing is flat." ”

Liu Hongye gritted his teeth, got up, looked up, and looked at Mei Niang, who was holding Li Zhi's hand tightly and sitting upright.

She...... It's more beautiful.

Back then, she was as bright as a flower. But now she is even more beautiful and ...... There is an indescribable charm. But she was no longer someone he could look at.

So, he immediately lowered his head.

Mei Niang looked at him, turned her head to look at Li Zhi again, and said softly: "I didn't know that the Lord and Liu Qing had something to discuss, but they came." In that case, the main palace should avoid ......"

"There's nothing to avoid." Li Zhi grabbed her, didn't tell her to get up, and said with a smile: "It's just that Liu Qing came to ask her to return to her hometown with her wife and children...... Thinking that after all, it was also your acquaintance, so let's meet. After all......"

Li Zhi paused, looked at Mei Niang meaningfully, then turned his head to look at Liu Hongye at the bottom of the stairs, and held her hand tightly: "After all, when Liu Qing returns to his hometown in the future, I'm afraid that I won't be able to see him again." ”

Hearing this, Liu Hongye's heart tightened for some reason, but Mei Niang said indifferently: "It doesn't matter if you see it or not." After all, Liu Qing is a subordinate of the foreign five grades, and the concubine is the queen, although she is the queen and is the world. But it must not always appear before the foreign ministers. The Lord is gracious, but in fact he is too worried. ”

These words clearly mean that Li Zhi is jealous, who can't hear it in this hall? Liu Hongye broke out in a cold sweat for the first time, and Mei Niang's words were extremely cold and disdainful of himself, he was indeed a subordinate of the foreign five grades, and he should not be so easy to meet the queen's honor, so he immediately wanted to bow and ask for the guilt.

I never thought that Li Zhi was completely innocent, but laughed and said, "You, you...... I'm just thinking that you are too bored in the palace, and I want to take this opportunity so that you can also meet outsiders...... It's my little eye. ”

Mei Niang's eyes rolled brightly, and she smiled faintly: "Really? Is that a beautiful girl's heart? Could it be wrong? The Lord General Liu Qing stayed, didn't he want to see if Mei Niang would take some care of the old friendship, right? ”

These words really shook Liu Hongye's face - in fact, it was not only him, but Qinghe on the side of the attendant was also completely dumbfounded, and hurriedly turned around to look left and right-

Fortunately, except for these three people, plus myself, no one inside and outside this hall can hear Mei Niang's words, otherwise I am afraid that I will ......

Before he could finish thinking about it, he heard Li Zhi laugh again: "Mei Niang is too worried...... I'm just ......"

"But what?" Mei Niang got up, looked at Li Zhi, and said coldly: "It's just that she still thinks about the old things of the previous dynasty, thinking that Mei Niang will be trapped in the old feelings?" ”

Li Zhi's smile began to stiffen, and Liu Hongye was even more shocked and sweaty, and he didn't dare to say more.

Mei Niang glanced at Li Zhi coldly, turned to look at Liu Hongye, took a deep breath, and said lightly: "Before the sealing ceremony, Zhilang and Mei Niang made a heavy oath before their father and queen mother, born and slept together, and died together. Mei Niang has said from that moment on, to Dali, that she is the wife of the Son of Heaven, after a country. To Xiaoli, it is the daughter-in-law of the Li family, and she is in the ...... It's no longer the woman who served Jiro's side as a concubine. Mo Fei Jilang gave Mei Niang the name, but can't he trust Mei Niang to afford this position? ”

Since Li Zhi met her, how could he have seen her so angry? Immediately got up, stammered a little, "That...... No...... That one...... I ......"

"If this is the case, it is better to divorce his wife and choose another merit. Why humiliate Mei Niang so much? This time, Mei Niang was really wronged, and her eyes were full of tears, almost pouring out.

This frightened Li Zhi into confusion immediately: "Say...... What nonsense! You...... You...... That ......"

"Nonsense? If it's nonsense, then why did Jiro bring him to Mei Niang? Why is it necessary for Mei Niang to meet him? Mei Niang burst into tears, bluffing Li Zhi hurriedly to wipe it for her, but she threw her hand away. looked at Li Zhi in pain.

Looking at Mei Niang, who was crying like a child and kept wiping away her tears, Li Zhi was heartbroken and regretted to death - it was true that from the beginning, he was a little tentative......

But later, when Mei Niang entered the palace, he regretted it.

He didn't want this man to see Mei Niang.

When he saw Liu Hongye's stunning gaze, he suddenly realized that he really didn't want him to see his current Mei Niang again. It's not because I'm worried that Mei Niang will make waves in her heart again...... It's because he suddenly realized that when such a man saw his Mei Niang, it was originally a kind of humiliation to her.

But at that time, the arrow was already on the string, and it had to be fired. So that's all he can do.

Now he regrets it deeply and is deeply afraid - he is afraid that Mei Niang will really be angry and really don't want him...... for they have known her for coming, and have had her as their companion......

She had never said anything so easy to separate.

He was really scared. So he forgot about Liu Hongye's existence and wanted to go up and give her a hug, but she threw her away again: "Why didn't Jiro answer?" Or was he told that he was on his mind, but he didn't dare to answer? ”

Li Zhi has been smart and resourceful all his life, and although he is not good at speaking, he is definitely very human. However, at this time, he only had to say anything, and he had to carefully hold Mei Niang's hand so that she would not be asked to take a few steps away from his side.

Seeing this situation, Qinghe couldn't help but sigh and think about it-although she is charming and girly at the moment, she has Li Zhi in mind. I'm afraid that if I get angry for a few days, I will forgive him in the end.

So he hurriedly took advantage of the quarrel between the husband and wife - to be precise, it was a moment of crying and coaxing, walked down lightly, patted Liu Hongye, who was already stunned, motioned for him to follow him out of the hall, stood outside the door and whispered: "Lord Liu, according to our family, you don't ask for anything from the Lord...... You are also an idle job outside the five grades, so I went to write a letter of accusation for leaving my post without permission, and I went to print it away, and I don't want to come back. ”

"But ......" Liu Hongye actually hesitated, after all, for him, although this is just an idle job of the outer five grades, there are some reasons not to give up.

"Well, why are you so unenlightened? It's come to this, why don't you understand? You've seen things like this today...... Even if the Lord and the mother are lenient, they will not pursue anything. That uncle has always been the Lord, do you think he can easily let you go? Then check it again, your lady ......"

“…… The father-in-law's meaning, the lower official understood, and the lower official went. It's just ......" Liu Hongye looked at the hall and hesitated.

Qinghe knew what he meant, and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Don't worry!" The Lord did not force you to death back then, and he will not do anything to you now. Let's go back well, don't appear in Chang'an City again, and be a rich idler! Besides, today's events are all like this...... If the Lord does something against you again in the future, won't he even more displease the mother?

For the sake of the mother, our family can protect our lives, and the Lord will not touch you a hundred. ”

When Liu Hongye heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but thanked Qinghe and left by himself.

Qinghe turned his head and sighed, and was about to walk back to the hall, when he saw a little attendant running over in a panic, crying and saying with a sad face: "Master, master! Oh no, the mother has forbidden the Lord's foot again......"

"What nonsense! What does it mean that the mother has forbidden the feet of the Lord again!? Say this, carefully slap your mouth! Qinghe wants to laugh but doesn't dare to laugh - although this grounded joke is not wrong, but in the end, it can be passed on privately, but it must not be taken seriously.

The waiter blinked, and after a while, he said, "But...... But the mother just said clearly, from now on, the Lord will ...... Lord, please stay in the temple of manna...... I will only wait until after the birth of Her Royal Highness in the womb of the mother......"

"What?" Qinghe almost didn't jump up on the spot: "This ...... What's going on?! Didn't the Lord keep the mother?! Why did it make such a fuss again? ”

"Who knows...... Niangniang didn't know what's wrong, this time she was so angry, as soon as she said this, the lord's face turned black into ink, and it was useless to plead there...... Master, how can you see this...... If you really let the Lord not see her mother for a few months...... That ......" remembered the previous few times when Mei Niang closed the door to thank customers, Li Zhi's face was almost cloudy and dripping that day......

The two masters and apprentices couldn't help but shudder, and immediately glanced at each other. Then Qinghe's eyes rolled, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Go, please invite Old Immortal Sun and Mrs. Li to come!" After a while, I will arrange to invite His Royal Highness the Acting King to enter first, I have to say a few words to His Royal Highness the Acting King, so that he can ask for a favor with the mother on behalf of our lord. ”

"I understand His Royal Highness the Acting King, but the old fairy ...... with Mrs. Li"

"If you want Niangniang not to be angry, in the final analysis, you have to let Old Fairy Sun and Mrs. Li persuade her. No matter how favored His Royal Highness is the acting king, after all, this time the lord is also ......" Qinghe closed his mouth, shook his head and said: "Anyway, you can go." Don't delay. ”

When the little attendant heard this, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately turned away, leaving only Qinghe and one person to shake his head and sigh weakly:

Alas...... How did he follow such a master...... Master, when will you come back?
