"You seem to be prepared." Li Zhi was stunned, let go of his hand, turned her over, and faced himself: "Tell me, what are you going to do?" ”

"Jiro wants to know? We'll know tomorrow. After speaking, Mei Niang didn't say more.

The next day, at the end of the day, Helan Minzhi, who returned to his residence in Chang'an City on the first day, got up early and prepared to enter the palace later.

The little attendant who served him dressed beside him asked puzzled while tidying up his clothes: "Childe, you said that Niangniang didn't keep you to see you yesterday, why do you have to order you to enter the palace today?" ”

"What else? It's just a dismount. Helan Minzhi's tone was leisurely: "After all, she is also the queen of a country, and she still has the aura she should have." ”

"Heh, it's just a bluff." The waiter smiled: "It's a pity, I just couldn't scare you, Childe." ”

"It's just a momentary whether it's scared or not. After the incident, she is still her aunt, and I am still her nephew...... How can it be? ”

As he said this, Helan Minzhi's eyes were full of disdain.

Seeing such a master, remembering some of the rumors he had heard before, the waiter seemed to understand something, so he said in a low voice: "Also, if you really don't even give this blood affection, then this queen mother will have no back." ”

"Who knows? Let's take a look! After saying this, Helan Minzhi closed his mouth tightly and did not say a word.

The time is right.

Mei Niang looked at the British Gong Li Tao who had just been invited by herself and in the name of Li Zhi in front of her, and looked at the plate in front of her with a puzzled expression, and couldn't help but be happy: "What? Could it be that Hongu guessed wrong? Does the UK like this kind of vegetarian food? ”

"No, no, no......" Li Tao asked, and hurriedly shook his hand and smiled: "Niangniang is aware of it...... Lao Chen didn't like spicy taste in his life, but this pepper cake was Lao Chen's favorite...... I just don't know why Niangniang ......" he said this, and then he didn't go on.

"Why did you choose to deliver snacks today, didn't you?" Mei Niang smiled: "It's too much for the British public to be puzzled, I'm afraid that's it?" ”

Li Tao nodded, smiled and didn't speak, but his eyes were still staring at the plate of pastries.

"Actually, it's not a big deal...... "Glancing at Li Tao, Mei Niang smiled and picked up chopsticks, picked up a piece for him and put it on the plate, and then said softly: "In the end, now that the court is up and down, the only person the palace can rely on is the British duke, and there are some things, so naturally I still have to discuss with you." ”

Li Tao's heart moved, but his face was still talking and laughing freely, first thanked Mei Niang for the gift of food, and then picked up the piece of dim sum and ate it, and then said again: "But I don't know what Niangniang is worried about, can the old minister solve one or two?" ”

"Then I'm going to bother the British duke...... Mei Niang finally put away the indifferent look on her face, and changed her helpless face: "But I don't know, does the British duke remember the canary bird?" ”

"Canary Bird...... Is it the male canary that has been taken over by the flower finch? ”

"Exactly." Mei Niang sighed in a low voice: "The British Duke also knows, this palace saw him pitiful at the beginning, so he forced his biological mother to save him from the mud pit, but he never thought that he would meet a benevolent general who would take revenge, and now not only is he not grateful at all, but he also wants to peck when he sees this palace...... The palace was pitiful and angry with him, and he thought about it, but he was just because he had been bullied over the years and lost his *** to let him go, but he never thought that he would occupy the Ming Nest on the right side of the palace palace...... Alas! If you move your whole body, you can't do anything with him! ”

When Li Tao heard this, he knew it in his heart, so he stopped talking, just lowered his head and tasted the snacks, until a plate of small snacks was eaten, he put down the jade chopsticks in his hand, took the handkerchief offered by the little maid on the side, wiped his hands, and then said: "The mother is worried, the old minister understands." It's just that what the old minister doesn't understand is that since Niangniang already knew that he had the courage to build a nest on the right side of the Lizheng Palace, accumulating filth and filth, why didn't he take action in time to clean him up? ”

"The British public did not understand what the palace said, and the place where the canary built its nest and nest was on the right side of the palace's palace, not the palace. After all, there is still an old love in ......" Mei Niang sighed: "He didn't do too much, and the palace is really not good, so he will make a move." ”

"Not too much? Niangniang, could it be that Niangniang forgot that you were the lord of the Tang Dynasty, and this Tang Dynasty Court is far more than a land within a hundred steps of this political palace? Li Tao frowned, and his voice couldn't help but sink.

Mei Niang was stunned for a moment, and then looked enlightened: "The British public said...... Very much. ”

Although she was already vigilant, she didn't say much.

Seeing this, Li Tao sighed and said: "Niangniang, the old minister thinks that if the world is determined today, the frontier is thousands of miles, but there are old ministers and millions of heroes in the Tang Dynasty, so there is no need for the lord and the mother to worry too much - so, if there is a chance, please persuade the lord more, and I will be the king of the Tang Dynasty, and it is good to walk on the shore of the land, but if this king is only in the imperial city, he cannot see the people of the world, I am afraid it is not very good-just like if the mother can't get out of this political palace and look outside, I'm afraid she won't understand, What is called the Tang Dynasty. ”

Mei Niang, who was told like this by Li Tao, was not only a little annoyed and angry, but also very ashamed - her original intention was not to really call Li Tao to come and dial one or two for herself, but she just hoped to take the opportunity of his back and forth to give a warning...... But she never thought that Li Tao's trip to the palace would bring her greater surprises and accidents, and for a while, she couldn't help but sigh.

just sighed and sighed, the things that should be done are still the same, so Mei Niang didn't stay longer, and after thanking him a few times, she ordered to take a Lingnan customs clearance business deed in her room with him, but said with a smile: "This palace knows that what the British Duke wants in his life is nothing more than the Tang Dynasty to calm the world, but the British Duke can be a vegetarian in Tsing Yi and not seek fame and fortune, and the food of his children and grandchildren still has to think about it." This business was originally a little private property earned by the biological father of the palace when the mother of the palace was in the house, and now although he is the mother of the world, His Majesty is diligent and thrifty, but the palace cannot but take the emperor's style and virtue as a model to attract the subjects of the world...... Therefore, this private property is the most appropriate to settle the children and grandchildren with the British public. ”

In the early Tang Dynasty, although it was light on business and heavy on literature, but to the generation of Li Zhi, because of its insight into the new situation, the big families also had a lot of business and close to Jia. Fortunately, he didn't ask for much, and the family was also virtuous and effective, all of them were widows, and Li Zhi Meiniang respected him very much, and there was no reason to reward him every day, and he had to make up a reason to reward him (just one day before he entered the palace, Mei Niang also took the opportunity of Li Tao to get the golden grandson again, and rewarded a thousand taels of gold, and countless rare treasures, if it wasn't for Li Tao's earlier expectation, he persuaded Li Zhi to lose the emperor's respect in the morning, but he was afraid that Li Zhi's share would be a few points heavier than Mei Niang's). Therefore, although this Lingnan customs clearance firm is extremely attractive, it is of no use to him at all, so he wants to refuse.

Seeing his thoughts, Mei Niang didn't persuade too much, but said bluntly: "If the British Duke doesn't even accept this thing, does he think that this palace is really as those people say, and intends to win over?" ”

Mei Niangyan has come to this point, if Li Tao refuses to resign, he will be suspected of slackness, and in desperation, he has no choice but to thank him for the gift, and then he will use official business to report and resign by himself.

Seeing that Mei Niang did not force her to stay, Li Tao had a little doubt in her heart, and she didn't say much along the way. It's just that when the carriage left the palace and went straight to Chang'an, I saw a carriage embroidered with silver from a distance on the official road, and when it was about to meet with his own car, he stopped according to etiquette, and suddenly understood the real intention of Mei Niang to summon him into the palace today.

Li Tao sighed in his heart, but said lightly on his face: "Stop." ”

The carriage stopped three feet in front of the cart, and Li Tao waited for the attendants to come to serve the curtain, so he just pressed his sword and sat in the car.

For a while, not only the little guards on Li Tao's side were puzzled, but also the attendants on the opposite side were also in a cold sweat.

Only the curtain of green silk embroidered silver, which seemed to be heavily loaded and did not move.

Li Tao snorted and suddenly spoke: "The affairs of your family, the mother can forget, but the old man has not forgotten, and the lord will not forget - this sentence, you had better engrave it in your heart." ”

Dropping such a clueless sentence, Li Tao immediately ordered someone to lower the curtain and leave quickly—as if there was something here that made him look extremely disliked.

And the carriage, but it wasn't until Li Tao drove away for a long time that there was no movement-

A waxy white palm trembling so much that it could barely hold anything touched the blue silk and silver curtain as if it were about to shake away, revealing a face that was so white that it had no color, and a pair of dark eyes that seemed to have awakened from a nightmare.

"Childe ......?" The little attendants around him looked at him in confusion - the nephew of Empress Wu Zhao of the Tang Dynasty, Helan Minzhi.
