When Mei Niang returned to the Lizheng Palace, she immediately changed her smile, sighed, looked left and right, and said, "Where is Yuming?" ”

On one side, Yuru hurriedly stepped forward and saluted before saying: "There is an edict on the Lord Fang, and she immediately set off to go to the Yue Wang's mansion to investigate the internal and external cooperation of His Royal Highness the Yue King, and now she has been ordered to leave the palace." ”

Nodding, Mei Niang didn't say much, and suddenly said after a while: "Since you want to check the king of Yue, then the king of Ji is ......."

"It's the two Masters Dewee. The lord said that His Royal Highness King Ji is different from His Royal Highness King Yue, and if he wants to sort out his affairs, he has to do it together. Yuru's expression was flat.

Mei Niang was silent, and only after a long time did she say lightly: "These things are indeed for the two of them to go - King Ji is different from King Yue, although King Yue is ruthless, but not to the point of being vicious and decisive...... To put it more clearly, King Yue is a fox, and King Ji is a wolf. ”

Yuming nodded yes, and said, "Niangniang, what you ordered before has already been ...... by Aunt Murong No, Mr. Murong personally led people to my Datang exit and waited. As soon as Kim Deok-joon appeared, it would be possible immediately. ”

"That's fine...... In fact, Bengong was originally a little hesitant, whether to use this method to say hello to that person, but now it seems that it is still a good use. Mei Niang smiled faintly.

The first day of August in the third year of the Tang Dynasty, and the first day of August in the fifth year of the Empress Qiming in the east. Empress Qi Ming, who was far away in Dongying, received a generous gift from Empress Wu Zhao of the Tang Dynasty.

And when she saw the contents of her gift box, the old female emperor was first shocked and furious, then laughed loudly, and then, laughed into tears, and fainted to the ground.

In the afternoon of the next day, Empress Qi Ming woke up, smiled and tears, and wrote a letter of state with her own hands, and the envoy accompanied two giant beads of Dongying's special fist, which were sent to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

It was also from this moment that the gift given by the Empress of the Tang Dynasty completely disappeared by the side of Empress Qi Ming, and she was never seen again - and her body finally began to deteriorate day by day, gradually aging.

And Mei Niang saw this gift, but it was three months later - just talking about the present.

On August 11 of the third year of the Tang Dynasty, they all raised their views, and in the highest political center of the Tang Dynasty, the Taiji Palace, the two kings of Ji Yue had a secret case involving the enemy for dozens of days, and with the cooperation of Di Renjie and Wei Zhiyuan, it was completely concluded.

"The end? Where is it over? ”

Hearing such a return from Yuming, who had returned from thousands of miles of wind and dust, in the Lizheng Palace, Li Hong, who was holding Li Xian and looking at Li Xian, who was leading Li Xian to play together, smiled faintly and said: "If it is really over, this morning, how could Uncle Yuan leave a well-informed important minister in Zhongshu Province, take this matter as a warning, and severely admonish the important ministers of the entire Guanlong family once?" ”

Yuming was silent, looked at Mei Niang for a long time and said, "What does Niangniang mean...... This is just the beginning? ”

"That's right."

Mei Niang smiled faintly and said: "Originally, this matter was that Uncle Yuan and Zhilang were in the same mind, and they intended to make King Ji and King Yue completely stop. So, how can you stop there? ”

After another pause, she smiled lightly: "You wait and see, if this palace is not wrong, he will have to use some heart on these two people in the future." Then follow the vine and touch the melons, and find out the few clan elders who still refuse to settle down - this is the purpose of Uncle Yuan! ”

Yuming's eyes widened: "Uncle Yuan still has to deal with that clan's faction?" But since the fall of Wang Xiao and the others, the clan in the middle of the dynasty has long been weak, why are they still keeping an eye on it? ”

"Because this clan is only weak, but not small. The matter of Wang Xiao and the others, although Zhilang has some selfish intentions, but in the final analysis, it is indeed for the sake of the will of the first emperor to prevent the clan from being too powerful. Now, although this arrogance is suppressed, the fire still exists, and if you are not careful, you will immediately rekindle the posture of thousands of miles. And once this rekindles, it will inevitably be a general trend. Therefore, Uncle Yuan's justice is to take advantage of the opportunity of the second king of Ji Yue to press down the arrogance of the clan a little more, so that they will not be able to raise their heads for thirty or fifty years, and it can be regarded as laying a good foundation for Jiro's next national politics......"

At this point, Mei Niang was inevitably a little sad: "Uncle Yuan is also old, this is ...... The appointment will also be the last time for him, for my Datang, for Jilang, so hard to plan. So no matter what, this time this time Hongu must help him complete this big thing. Got it? ”

Yuming nodded and said yes solemnly.

August 15 of the third year of the Tang Dynasty.

Mid-autumn festival.

According to the routine rules, the Taiji Palace is to perform palace rites and hold palace banquets. So early in the morning, the entire Taiji Palace was busy under Mei Niang's arrangement.

Because of the common etiquette, today is also the day when the princesses, county lords, and county lords and princesses of the country enter the palace and pay homage to Mei Niang, who is the queen of the Tang Dynasty.

And as usual for two years, in addition to those princesses and ladies of the country, all the princesses who surrendered to the outside world, except for a few who are no longer alive, the remaining princess Pu'an, Princess Dongyang, Princess Linchuan on the side of Concubine Wei, Princess Qinghe, Princess Jin'an, Princess Ankang, Princess Xinxing, and even Princess Chengyang, the only surviving sister of Li Zhi, Princess Xincheng, also entered the palace at the same time.

As for the eldest princesses who are aunts, Mei Niang has also seen less. But firstly, she didn't care, and secondly, she didn't want those elders who held their own identities to come-

So for a while, the entire Lizheng Hall was full of laughter. And the two princesses of Chengyang New Town, who have grown up here since childhood, are even more inevitably nostalgic.

When Mei Niang saw it, she knew it in her heart, so after the state banquet, she quietly took a few things left by the eldest grandson when she was alive before, and chased the two princesses to serve them.

The next day, the two princesses wrote handwritten and paid tribute to several pieces to express their gratitude.

When the things were delivered, it happened that Li Zhi had feasted on the foreign ministers at the state banquet last night, drank too much, got drunk and had a headache, and was learning from Li Xian's children to lie in her arms and refused to leave, just waiting for his beloved wife to feed him tea and relieve his hangover.

"Oh? You have a heart, and these two stupid girls are even more affectionate...... Something, take a look. ”

Li Zhi looked lazy and lay on his lap in Mei Niang's arms, and only called Qinghe to take the gift from the two princesses.

As soon as the box was opened, Li Zhi only glanced at it, and his eyes immediately turned red, and he said after a long time: "That's it, these two girls...... It's the one that hurts you the most. Even I, as the two of them's royal brothers, have never treated me well like this. ”

Mei Niang was stunned when she heard this, and took a closer look at the gifts that the two princesses entered-Princess Chengyang entered, but it was a pair of white jade arm rings, which looked moist and clean, and it was a rare treasure. And the most rare thing is that it is born with a few traces of smoke and purple color, which is smart and lovely, and it is as moving as a purple glow covering the clouds.

The gift given by the princess of Xincheng is even more special: it is a group of four green and cute little lion seal buttons. One of the arms fluttered with a ball carved of gold beads lying on the ground, a full of spirit, the other head of a pigeon's blood red gem carved into an octagonal hydrangea, mouth open claw, as if laughing, the remaining two also each holding a purple and green two big gems pondered bead balls, or kneeling on the ground, as a majestic forward pounce, or a claw press, do naughty slapping proof......

In short, these four little lions are full of vitality and are all cute.

"These things, look very cute...... "Although these two treasures are simple in style, their materials and carving can be described as superb, and they are Mei Niang, who is raised by Li Zhi every day to look down on any treasures, and they can't put it in their hands.

Li Zhi was silent for a long time before he reached out and hugged Mei Niang, and said lightly: "Why don't you like it?" Such a baby, even when the queen mother was in the past, was very reluctant to let go......"

Mei Niang was stunned: "This is ...... The ...... left by the queen mother"

"Call the queen mother."

Li Zhi's eyes were slightly warm, and he caressed her face: "You should be called the queen mother." ”

Mei Niang's face was slightly hot, and she nodded and said, "This is what the queen mother left behind?" ”

"Hmm. Among the queen's favorite treasures, these two are the most special, so when the two of them got married, my father and I made a dowry with them-

After all, the big sister is gone, and An Ning is also ......"

Li Zhi was silent, and only after a while did he hold Mei Niang sadly and said softly: "Mei Niang, you have to help me take care of them...... Okay? ”

Mei Niang's heart tightened, but she slapped him on the forehead mercilessly: "What kind of frustrating words are you talking about?!" You are such a good sister, are you willing to leave it behind? Straighten my spirit, greet them well, don't be bullied by those who don't know what to do! Otherwise, I will be the first to pull your ear and cry in front of the queen mother's mausoleum, do you believe it or not? ”

Li Zhi saw Mei Niang being so coquettish, but just to make himself happy, he couldn't help it for a while, so he laughed with her.
