At the beginning of August of the second year of the Tang Dynasty, because the weather was getting cooler, Li Zhi drove back to Luoyang Palace.

In the same month, he degraded Han Jin, came to Ji, and was good. Again depreciate Liu Zheng.

Early September.

In the Palace of Eternal Life, Mei Niang, who had been watched by Li Zhi as a three-year-old child, finally looked forward to her relief-

Li Zhi and her third son, as if at his mother's wish, came into the world ten days earlier than anyone expected.

Li Zhi was naturally very happy, and after discussing with the ministers, he took the name of the year with the word "Xian" for the child's name.

When asked why, he laughed:

"Since the name of the year is celebrated, then Wu'er should be this word. Countless years in the world are celebrated, one celebrates the extension of the year, and the second celebrates the longevity...... Children are blessed with longevity and health, and continue their virtues. ”

For a time, everyone at home said:

"The poor son is like the king of Tang."

As for Mei Niang?

It's a pity that she didn't have what she wanted, and in the next two months, she was still ordered by Li Zhi to be grounded in the Hall of Eternal Life, so she could recuperate.

After the child was born, Li Zhi's hard work, and the people around her could tell her, so she restored the harmony between husband and wife. It's just that no matter how she begged and how she had sex, Li Zhi still didn't allow her grounding order to be lifted, and even refused her request to take her three children out of the palace to have a glimpse of the eastern capital.

…… However, in mid-November, after Sun Simiao entered the palace to see Mei Niang's pulse, Li Zhi no longer had a reason to trap her - after all, even a miracle doctor such as Sun Simiao said that if she was trapped for too long, she would become angry, so how dare Li Zhi imprison her again?

And the first thing she did after the ban was lifted was to order the silkworm ceremony that she had not been able to complete properly before.

After Li Zhi heard the news, all he could do was sigh three times and let her go.

It's just that he secretly ordered the virtue award, and asked him to send Suqin into the palace to accompany Mei Niang - after all, most of the Shenfeng guards around Mei Niang have been following the Shura Sword to go out to pick up the secret guards from all sides, and Yuming is not there, only Yuru is alone, and he still can't feel at ease. It just so happened that Kim Chunqiu, the lord of Silla, was about to enter Luoyang for the second time to meet with him, and when he talked about the alliance between the two countries, the merit award was busy day and night, and Suqin had been thinking about Mei Niang for a long time, and because he thought that when he was in the palace, the chance of seeing the merit award was naturally greatly increased, so he was all happy.

The award was intentional, and Suqin was interested, so he hurriedly packed up his things and entered Luoyang Palace in the afternoon of the same day.

Sisters are happy when they see each other, and there is no need to say much. and the new Jiao'er, the two daughters talked happily until the night, so that when Li Zhi wanted to return to the Palace of Eternal Life that night, he ate a soft closed door soup again-

"Lord, Niangniang said that the national government has been busy recently, so she will not bother the Lord to go to the two halls. Niangniang stewed the jade soup with her own hands, and after asking the Lord to take a good life, she rested in the Zhenguan Palace! ”

After Yuru offered Mei Niang's words and a bowl of soup, she turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Li Zhi, who was unwilling, and after asking a lot of words, she said reluctantly:

"And tell your mother, if you don't go to bed at half of the night, it will be a great crime of disrespect, and according to the rules, you will still be grounded."

When Yuru heard this, she forced a smile and quit herself, leaving Li Zhi, who had a deep resentment on his face, sighing in place, sullen.

That night, Mei Niang and Su Qin said what time this whisper was said but no one knew, but after the silkworm ceremony was completed on the second day, Mei Niang skillfully dressed herself in the crown and entered the palace of Zhenguan, and said slowly in Li Zhi's eyes that were as bright as the stars in the sky when he saw her:

"Mei Niang wants to leave the palace because of something, and she also asks for Lang En's approval."

Immediately, the sky full of stars was covered by a layer of dark clouds.

In the end, he agreed to her, after she attached it to his ear and told him the reason why she wanted to leave the palace.

"Sister, does the Lord really believe that you left the palace to go to the soup cake old man's stall to bring a soup cake back to the lord?"

On the way out of the palace, Su Qin asked with a smile.

Mei Niang smiled faintly:

"Believe it or not, I'll just bring it back to him."

Su Qin pursed her lips slightly:

She knew that Mei Niang's move was called taking soup cakes and Li Zhi's food, but in fact, it was because she was bored because she was thinking that Li Zhi was not allowed to leave the palace to visit the people recently, so she took this opportunity to go out of the palace and had the intention to explore the people's feelings, and then took the opportunity to take some new things to borrow from him and a few children.

She rejoiced in her heart, but still hesitated.

Mei Niang knew that she was worried that her appearance would be recognized, so she easily found two veil drapery from the car, put them on with her first, and smiled:

"In this way, who else can see?"

Su Qin couldn't help but smile at this time, and put it on with her.

So, in the laughter all the way, the two of them only took a jade ru and a few Shenfeng female guards, pretending to be ordinary official women, leaving Luoyang Palace and leaving the north gate.

After all, because Li Zhi and Mei Niang had left the palace many times in private clothes, Yuru was familiar with it, and she came to the soup cake stall very quickly.

However, he saw that the stall was cold, so he inquired about it, and learned that the old couple had something at home today, and they couldn't support the stall.

It's just that I'm tired of sitting in the car, and when I came, the road was mostly the royal road, clean and uninhabited, but here was the middle of the market, there were many people, and the car was inconvenient, so the two got out of the car and walked for a while, and then got on the road to get on the road.

But as soon as he took two steps, he heard the shouts in front of him that there were new breeds of Persian cats in the Western Regions for sale, which caused the crowd to be restless, and saw that there were more and more people in front of the vendors, and the discussion was getting louder and louder, which couldn't help but attract the attention of their pedestrians.

When Su Qin heard the sound, she remembered that after the death of her cat last time, several children were injured due to bad companions, and she intended to come forward to take a look. But because of the memory of Mei Niang, it is difficult to speak.

Mei Niang saw her thoughts, and she also had the heart to take a look, but she inevitably hesitated slightly-after all, after all, after she was self-proclaimed, although she went out of the palace in private clothes countless times, she never stayed outside......

can think of Suqin's face, which has been reborn like Hui'er in recent years, showing a look of disappointment......

But she really didn't want to go back to the palace, so she smiled:

"Speaking of which, Luoyang is also my deputy capital of the Tang Dynasty. The people who live here are the pawns of the peddlers, and they are all knowledgeable. It's strange this time, what kind of strange cats are so attractive? Let's go, take a look. If it's cute, Hong'er is also clamoring for a cat to play with! ”

Mei Niang said this, Suqin was naturally happy, so she restrained herself and moved forward.

It's just that the crowd in front of the stall is crowded, and when Su Qin and Mei Niang got closer, they found that there were indeed too many people, and they regretted it, and when they discussed wanting to retreat, they were already surrounded by the crowd later.

At this moment, although fortunately Yuru and other Shenfeng guards secretly protected each other, they were still caught in the flow of people, and after several collisions, even the curtain above their heads was almost torn off.

Fortunately, Yuru and a few women were alert, and after several clever pushes and secret sends, they also sent Mei Niang Suqin to the stall safely, and finally saw the so-called "Persian xenocat".

After Mei Niang saw it, she was silent, but Su Qin saw the two or three small white things rolling around on the brocade cloth like snowballs, only to feel that it was rare and tight, and said with a smile:

"It's no wonder that there are so many people, this cat breed is really rare...... I've never seen it before. Looking at its appearance, it is a little different from the usual Persian cats, just like the leopard cat presented by the strange monk of Tianzhu country a few days ago.

It's just that the leopard cat is covered with stone markings, but it is rare to see such pure white as snow. The eyes were much smaller...... And this tail ...... Isn't it shaved? Why is there only a little ball left at the tip of the tail? ”

She asked Mei Niang, but she didn't see Mei Niang make a sound, when she turned her head to look, but because she couldn't see Mei Niang's expression through the two gauze curtains, she was about to open her mouth to ask again, but she suddenly felt crowded, and she was caught off guard by someone who pushed the curtain on her head off, revealing a delicate face!

She has become a habit of hiding her identity for many years, and she is an exclamation of the following consciousness, hiding her face with her sleeves!

When she was in a hurry, a flower in front of her eyes, and a curtain covered her face.

In a panic, through the curtain, I saw Mei Niang's face that was still a little blurry just now, but at this time she smiled at herself very clearly:

"Obviously I'm still a little sick, it's not good to wear a curtain, and it's not good to wash the wind carefully. Tie it tightly. ”

Su Qin realized that Mei Niang had given up her fence to her, and was about to take it back in confusion, but Mei Niang reached out and tied the silk knot tightly on her chin, and attached her lips to her ear and whispered:

"There are a lot of people here, so you're so alive. Yuru is looking for the one that fell! Fasten up. ”

When Su Qin heard this, she wanted to cry, so she hurriedly turned around and looked for her own squeezed out of the curtain with Yuru - after all, Mei Niang is beautiful, not to mention that after the birth of several children, she has added a lot of charming charm......

Sure enough, after a moment of silence, there was a burst of exclamation. Su Qin was in a hurry, seeing that everyone had already set their eyes on Mei Niang's face, and there were even a few rich children who looked frivolous and squirrel, and they were already squeezing here with straight eyes.

The more urgent, the more crowded. It was easy for her to find the hedge, but the sky did not obey people's wishes, and the bamboo hat had been trampled to pieces, and the gauze curtain had been torn off in several places, and it was categorically unusable.

Seeing this, Suqin was about to untie the ribbon around her neck without thinking, but she was suddenly attracted by Mei Niang's gentle and soft voice and stopped.

In fact, not only her, almost everyone was attracted by Mei Niang's sudden question-

"Uncle, did you catch this 'cat' yourself?"

The stall was set up by an elderly man, seeing that this fairy-like lady had a question, he looked up and down, and saw that she was dressed as a lady, but her face seemed to be a girl who was about to be married, and it was difficult to decide the title for a while-

After all, the daughters of those official families in Luoyang nowadays, once they have decided on their relatives, whether they have married into their husband's family or not, they are all vying to be women's clothes......

So he shook his head with a smile, and said with discretion:

"The little lady is overrated...... How can the little old man have such ability? In fact, it was the little old man's family who opened a Ren's inn for merchants from the north and south to make a rest. A few days ago, a group of merchants from the Western Regions came, and after resting for a few nights, they said that there was no cash for silk. In fact, there is no shortage of this bite of food at home, so we asked them to go by themselves, and they will come back sometime.

But the merchant Ren Xia, who was the leader, had to leave something to counteract with the little old man no matter what. The little old man went back and forth, and he took a fancy to this pair of small things, so he stayed, saying that if he had the fate to come again, he would redeem the money, and if he didn't have a chance, he would leave this treasure by the little old man's side, and let the little old man sell or send, at his disposal. ”

Hearing him say this, Mei Niang was stunned, looked at the side and was trying her best to block the Shenfeng guards who had rushed forward and wanted to inquire about the famous disciples, and then glanced at Yuru.

Yuru understood, stepped forward and said with a smile:

"Uncle, my lady likes these little things very much, I don't know how to get your love? If it's easy, I don't know if it's possible? ”

When the palm of the hand is spread out to avoid the eyes and ears of others, it is three golden treasures.

That old man has been in Luoyang City for a long time, where does he not know that this kind of treasure is a thing in the palace, except for those princes and nobles who can get some rewards, it is only a member of the third grade or above? A gold treasure, a shop in the east market, this is not a fake joke.

He immediately smiled and was about to answer, but was interrupted by a flirtatious voice:

"Stay! Looking at this little girl's gesture, it's just a few big coins, right? Is...... How can such a foreign object be as light as a few coins? This son has ten horses, the old man, the businessman, the one who has the highest price! ”
