A moment later.

Li Zhi was in the Tai Chi Hall, but he was sitting calmly, looking at the little girls in front of him.

Every little face was full of helplessness and fear, and even a few little girls were already crying—too, they all knew what was going on.

With a sigh, Li Zhi closed his eyes, but his head ached faintly:

He didn't want to be such a wicked person. But if he doesn't be such a wicked person today, then in the future, he will never be able to face his own daughter again—

Even if he himself, in fact, he is more ashamed than he loves those two children.

Taking a deep breath, he was about to raise his head, but he couldn't speak, and he didn't know what to do for a while, and he was hesitating, when he suddenly heard a proclamation outside the hall, and the queen mother came.

Li Zhi was stunned when he heard this, and was about to get up, but he had already seen Mei Niang's figure coming.

"Why are you here? Aren't you asleep? ”

Li Zhi passed the little girls who knelt down and saluted, and walked towards Mei Niang.

"Naturally, I want to come, if I don't come, I don't know that Jiro is so bothered, and Dai Meiniang will also pick up the matter of the concubine who was selected into Tubo as a concubine!"

She smiled faintly, glanced back, and motioned for the women to flatten up.

The women who had heard the name of the queen mother trembled and stood up, trembling and bowing their heads, and no one dared to look at her.

Li Zhi choked - what she said was true, after all, this matter should have been handled by the queen. It's just that he didn't want to see her being resented by the world anymore, so he took it. I never thought she would come by herself, and she still had such an attitude.

After a moment of depression, he said, "You ......"

"Since ancient times, although there is a saying that the male protagonist is outside the female protagonist. But Jiro, although this matter is a foreign matter, it should be handled by Mei Niang. I also asked Jirou to give Mei Niang back the opportunity to be the master of the house! ”

Li Zhi looked at her smiling like a flower, knowing that she had made up her mind and there was no place to turn around, so he had to nod his head and agree, sat down on the turn hall, watched her move forward, inspected those sect girls one by one, and then casually picked out seventeen or eighteen inappropriate sect daughters from the twenty-five sect girls in five columns and five columns-

"Since I want to surrender to Tibet as a concubine, then no matter what, I have to be suitable for my old age. These are either too young or too lively, and they are naturally good women, but they are not concubines. Let's go back! ”

Mei Niang's words were nothing less than a blessing for the girls of the sect who were all under the double ten, so they immediately thanked the grace happily, left the hall on their own, and left the palace on their own.

Then, there were only seven left, all of whom were over twenty years old—and they saw these few sect girls, and all of them were frightened.

Mei Niang glanced at it casually again, then shook her head again and said, "It's not appropriate." The appearance is just a middle-class posture, and although the bearing is graceful, it is not appropriate for those who are concubines in this posture...... Alas! I can't imagine that I am a dignified Tang Dynasty, and I can't even pick out a few suitable sect girls. ”

He shook his head again, and ordered them all to leave on their own.

Those sect girls were really overjoyed, and they all kowtowed like mud, and then left on their own.

Li Zhi in the palace put one hand on his cheek, looking at her like this, he was already smiling - when she first entered the palace, he was still worried about what she would do. Now that I look at it, I actually had a plan.

"You're a man...... I've sent them all away, but who should I send? ”

Li Zhi got up and walked down the stairs with a smile, slowly greeted Mei Niang who came in steps, hugged her waist, and straightened the flowing clouds in the crook of her arm before asking with a smile.

Mei Niang smiled faintly, walked back to the jade steps with him, sat on the dragon throne together, and said, "Mei Niang heard that the Tubo Zampu is nearly forty years old. Such a man, who has experienced a little, these clan girls, one by one, are still young, and they have been pampered in the boudoir since childhood, but they are afraid of sending them, but they are not compatible. It is better to choose the one who is agreeable. ”

Li Zhi raised his eyebrows: "Oh? It looks like you already have someone in your heart. ”

Mei Niang nodded and said with a smile: "I just don't know...... His Royal Highness King Ji and Princess Ji were reluctant. ”

Li Zhi was stunned when he heard this. Turning around and facing her cross-legged, he sat on the dragon throne, only holding her silky hands and playing between the two palms, thinking for a while before frowning: "What you said, isn't it the mother sister of Princess Ji?" was accepted as a righteous daughter by Uncle Han, and was given a national surname by her father? ”

Mei Niang nodded and said with a smile: "That lady, it seems that she is also full twenty or eight, right?" A few days ago, I heard that she had withdrawn another marriage offer from a noble relative in Beijing, and she still said that the other party was not worthy of her surname. Since this is the case, she simply gave her the identity of the eldest princess, and added the dignity of the princess of Tubo, thinking that she was in harmony. ”

Li Zhi raised his eyebrows for a while before he said, "I thought you didn't want to worry about her anymore." ”

"She? Ah, Jiro refers to Princess Ki? Didn't care? What do we have to worry about? ”

Mei Niang smiled gracefully: "What's more, this woman with a national surname is only afraid that she likes this kind of identity more than anyone else!" ”

Li Zhi looked at her with a slight eyebrow, and then shook his head and smiled for a long time: "That's it, since you want this, then it will be like this." The palace of the left and right Han Wangfu has now declined, and for Princess Ji, this marriage may not be as good as she wants - after all, compared to the more ambitious Uncle Han, Tubo, who holds the power of a country, is the best help for her husband to ascend to the throne in the future. ”

"Najiro still promises? Aren't you afraid that Mei Niang is deliberately designing? ”

Mei Niang smiled, charming and delicate.

"Design is design! Since this world is mine, then you can play as you like - as long as you don't play with the people. ”

Li Zhi said while laughing, and while reaching out to touch the pen and paper, he asked for the holy decree to be written.

"How so? The people's heart is the foundation of the king, Mei Niang is a big bold, and she doesn't dare to play with the people's heart. What's more, compared to the simple and sincere hearts of the people, doesn't Jiro think that the hearts of the courtiers of these so-called superiors are really fun? ”

Mei Niang raised her eyebrows and smiled.

Li Zhi smiled and was waiting for the title of the book, but suddenly stopped his pen and looked up at Mei Niang thoughtfully: "Strange...... Why do you find out now? ”

Mei Niang was smug, but she was a little surprised by what he said, and frowned: "What? ”

"I mean, why do you realize now that you have a lot of political talent!"

Li Zhi smiled, shook his head again, and said, "No, it's not a little bit...... Just these few words, I am afraid that they will not be easily spit out from the mouths of the few existing so-called important ministers except for my uncle and the British duke! Hey! Good! That's good! With you, next time, but there will be endless folds, I don't have to worry about it anymore! ”

Mei Niang was stunned when she heard this, and only after a long time did she laugh and scold: "You're not crazy......

Where can Li Zhi pay attention to her, just write his own and laugh at himself.

At the beginning of November of the third year of the Tang Dynasty.

Tai Chi Palace.

Early in the morning, a will that was not light or light came out of Qinghe's mouth. And just as Li Zhi expected, the courtiers almost did not react.

Li Zhi smiled secretly in his heart.

Retreat.

The apse of the Taiji Palace.

While helping Li Zhi to disguise, Qinghe couldn't help but ask: "Lord, today's matter is really strange." Whether it is King Han or King Ji, although the past has not been calm, it is not easy for the ministers to help with some words. But shouldn't it be so plain and unwavering? Qinghe can hear that the lady with the surname of the country is a great beauty! Many dignitaries and dignitaries in the DPRK and China are interested in being included in the door......"

"The more such a woman, the more she doesn't know the height of the sky."

Li Zhi said lightly: "So the more she puts herself seriously, the more unwilling she is to agree easily - in her opinion, most of them feel that her mother and sister have promised a prince as a concubine, then she is such a beautiful and such a family background, no matter what, she has to enter this palace, no matter what, she has to be a concubine, and even only Mei Niang, the queen, is worthy of her." ”

Qinghe immediately rolled his eyes and snorted: "If she really thinks so, then the lord, you are married to Tubo, but you really look down on her - the lord of Tubo, according to what Qinghe saw, may not be a stubble!" That's what the two sisters were expecting? I'm afraid I want to have a lot of affection and hatred! ”

Li Zhi laughed, let himself lie flat on the bed, and thought for a long time before saying: "It is to make her so resentful, and then let her sister know what kind of person she must not offend!" ”

Qinghe heard this sentence without a head or brain, and when he asked again, Li Zhi was already tired and fell asleep.

Looking at Li Zhi who was so tired, he didn't want to ask any more questions, just shook his head, sighed slightly, and covered the soft quilt for him.

The night is like water, slightly cool, and soaked in the cold.

In the Imperial Palace.

Mei Niang woke up from a dream, and unexpectedly saw a familiar figure standing next to the couch.

Her heart twitched slightly, and she stretched out her hand to open the veil tent, but saw Li Zhi looking at her with a sad face, stretched out his hand to herself, and held her with tears and smiles, but in the next moment, she was pulled into the darkness by a force.

"Jiro!"

She screamed and woke up and sat up, cold sweat all over her body!

"What's wrong......

Li Zhi's voice came into her ears, making her pounding heartbeat somewhat calmer, turned around in amazement, looked at Li Zhi, who was stunned, sat up straight and looked at him, and couldn't help but subconsciously throw his whole person into his arms, tightly, tightly around his waist......

And it was only at this time that she suddenly realized that at some point, Li Zhi's waist began to be thin like a branch-before, she could only wrap him whole. But now......

Her arms almost wrapped around his entire waist at either side.

Biting her lip and holding back her tears, she tried to restrain herself from crying.

"What's wrong?"

She is restrained, but trembling can't deceive people. Li Zhi felt it, and the whole person suddenly came to his senses, stretched out his hand to pat her, and asked a little uneasily, "What's wrong?" ”

“…… I had a nightmare...... "Mei Niang was aggrieved, her voice soft, her breath soft, for fear that she would cry out loud if she spoke too quickly: "I had a nightmare." ”

Li Zhi was stunned and raised his eyebrows: "What nightmare?" Speaking out, the Queen Mother and Aunt Hua both said that no matter how bad this dream is, once it is spoken, it will never work again. ”

For some reason, listening to his voice, Mei Niang, who was already a little at ease, subconsciously twitched her heart after unexpectedly hearing the names of Empress Eldest Sun and Aunt Hua-

It was as if a silky chill was silently invading her heart.

And she was powerless to resist, and she didn't even notice—

The only thing she could do was to hug this man tightly, give her a man who was warm for a lifetime, and not let him leave her for a moment, let alone allow him to leave for a moment.

As if in this way, all her wishes will not be disappointed again.
