"No!" Zhuge Liang happily accepted the order and immediately turned around and left.

Seeing Zhuge Liang's figure disappear into the bamboo forest, Li Li and Mengxin strolled forward, whispering as they walked, and walked along the bluestone path to the depths of the bamboo garden.

"What Madame just said is indeed quite insightful, and I am very impressed by my husband."

"The husband is overrated." The first time she heard Li Li praise her talent unabashedly, Mengxin was very useful, her pretty face was slightly red, and her demeanor was reserved and humble.

However, when she was about to continue, Huo Ran found that Ren Hongchang and Xiao Qiao, who had been following behind her, had quietly left without knowing when, and she was the only one left by Li Li's side at the moment.

This discovery made Mengxin's delicate face change suddenly, and in a hurry, she suddenly realized that she had lost her words just now, although it was an unintentional mistake, but it was a big taboo. As the master of the dust-free palace and a woman from a famous family, how could she not hear the allusions of Empress Lu in the past, and how could she not know that the Han Dynasty has always had the traditional ancient adage of "women are not allowed to interfere in politics"?

Therefore, she knew very well why Ren Hongchang's four daughters left quietly, and she also knew the reason why they avoided it.

Suddenly, Mengxin's expression was a little dazed, and an extremely complicated look appeared in her eyes, and she was stunned.

At this moment, she was extremely conflicted in her heart, both bitter and happy, as well as a little indescribable confusion and loss. The bitter thing is that she regrets that she is straightforward, she can't keep a normal heart in front of Li Li, and her mind is full of his shadow, so that she loses her mind and does the most taboo stupid thing for kings in the past. Fortunately, she has followed Li Li for so many years without seeking fame. So far, he is still hovering outside Ren Hongchang and others, without any name, so naturally there is no need to scruple. However, this happiness was only a momentary thought for her. Immediately, he was full of confusion and extremely lost.

In fact, Tong Guò has been getting along day and night for a while, and Mengxin has become more and more infatuated with Li Li. In the past six months, she has become accustomed to Li Li's savings, used to sharing a bed with him, resting at sunset and rising at sunrise. I don't want to be separated from him for a moment, I want to be able to stay with him for a long time and love him for a lifetime. That's why. It's because she has been alone for a long time before, alone, and has no worries, and the only thing that makes her feel at ease is the disciple of the Dustless Palace. and Li Li, who has a husband and wife with her.

But. Since she was pregnant with Li Li's child, Mengxin has been concerned since then; The child fetters her, but she always thinks about the child's father. With the pregnancy in October, and then to raising the child to grow up day by day, Mengxin's original quiet and inactive mood has also changed. Invisibly, her originally restrained and almost withdrawn personality became more and more cheerful, her originally cold face gradually became smiling, and her original rock-solid heart for seeking the truth quietly disappeared. No longer ignorant of the world, no longer out of the way, no longer indifferent. Although she was still cold and stern in front of her disciples, she was still cold and stern in front of her own children. She was smiling, with a loving smile on her face, and her whole body was full of maternal radiance.

With Li Li's stay in the Dustless Palace for half a year, Mengxin's pure-hearted temperament has completely changed silently, making her more and more like gentle, more and more pestering, and more and more inseparable from Li Li. At present, she has become accustomed to the happy life of her husband and children, and calmly accepts the fact that she serves a husband with Ren Hongchang, He Ying, Ma Yunluo and Xiao Qiao, and is even willing to try to serve Li Li with them.

Over time, Mengxin has been able to adapt to this kind of life, and has been greatly satisfied from it, as if she is addicted to it and cannot extricate herself. It was because she had already decided that after Li Li pacified Xichuan, she would go to Chang'an with Ren Hongchang and others to meet with many sisters. If the sisters did not reject her and got along very well with each other, she would consider staying in Chang'an and moving the Dustless Palace to Zhongnan Mountain or Qinling, so that she would settle down and never be separated from Li Li again.

However, this scene just now made Mengxin suddenly wake up, and once again realized that the man she loved had an extremely prominent status. And this identity and status determine that many things cannot be done casually like ordinary people, not only is he invisibly subject to many constraints, but even the wives and concubines who follow him also need to abide by the etiquette system. All the people around Li Li, especially the wives and concubines who are close to each other, must be extra careful in their words and deeds, always keep in mind many taboos, and must not exceed the rules in the slightest, otherwise they will give people a handle and cause trouble for no reason.

Thinking of these troublesome etiquette and many taboos, Mengxin couldn't help but feel very distressed, and her face was full of sadness in a daze.

"Mengxin, what's wrong with you?"

After not seeing Mengxin speak for a long time, Li Li couldn't help but stop, looked at Mengxin who was worried, and said in surprise: "What is it that makes you worried?" No matter what happens, just say it, and your husband will definitely solve your problems for you! After speaking, Li Li looked at her eagerly, waiting for her to explain the reason, and then solve the problem. In this regard, Li Li is full of confidence, because he firmly believes that there are only a handful of things in this world that can make him difficult, and he can solve a problem.

Mengxin came back to her senses when she heard this, and said softly: "Don't worry, the concubine is fine, she just remembered some things, and she was a little sentimental." When she spoke, she was still frowning, with lingering sorrow between her eyebrows, and her eyes were melancholy, as if she was not right, and she did not tell the truth.

This sad look all fell into Li Li's eyes, and immediately his sword eyebrows furrowed slightly, a trace of suspicion flashed in his pupils, and he asked: "You never tell lies, let alone hide anything from me, why are you perfunctory to me this time?" Tell your troubles, when the sky falls, there will be a husband to bear for you, no need to scruples, you can tell you directly. ”

Mengxin's heart was shocked, she looked at Li Li with affection, and after a while, she said in a low voice: "Does the husband think that it is possible for the concubine to become the second Empress Lu?" ”

"Empress Lu?" Li Li was stunned when he heard this, and said in surprise: "Empress Lu is Gao Zu's wife Lu Pheasant, right?" How can you think of her for no reason? At this moment, Li Li found that he couldn't keep up with Mengxin's train of thought at all. Just now I was talking about the shape of Yizhou, and it suddenly crossed over to Liu Bang's queen Lu Pheasant more than three hundred years ago, and this span is too big! The two are not next to each other at all, and the things that can't be hit by eight poles are more than 300 years apart, so where should we start?

Mengxin's voice changed, and she suddenly felt that her question was indeed a bit absurd, and she was really thinking too much. However, she wanted to know in her heart what Li Li thought of Lu Pheasant and how she viewed her gains and losses. So she lowered her head in shame and said softly: "The husband insists on asking, and the concubine should tell the truth." The husband should know that this dynasty has been taboo for women to interfere in politics since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the reason why Hongchang, He Ying, Yunluo and Xiao Qiao's sister left quietly just now is to deliberately avoid it, for fear that they will be criticized in the future and frame concubines and other unauthorized interference in politics. And the concubine was quick to speak, so she ignored this verse, so that she violated the taboo, which really should not be. It was because the concubine was very uneasy, and asked her husband to punish her. After speaking, Mengxin bowed her head and saluted, as if she was waiting to be heard, which was very moving.

"Hehehe! I see. Li Li was surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help laughing: "What should I do, it turned out to be a false alarm!" You don't know, but I don't mind??????" In the midst of laughter, Li Li blurted out that he was about to say his true opinion, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly stopped, and the laughter stopped abruptly, and he swallowed back the words that followed.

At this moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in Li Li's mind, and he faintly felt that some things had already shown some signs, and this was something he hated very much. This is: the palace is infighting, wives and concubines compete for favor, and sons compete for power.

Although his heirs are still young, the fact in front of him is that he does have more than a dozen wives and concubines, each of whom has bore him two children, and will continue to have children in the future. Since then, he is destined to have many heirs, and if it is not handled properly, it will inevitably lead to a battle between the palace and the palace. This is by no means unfounded, but a very likely occurrence that cannot be avoided, let alone avoided.

It was Mengxin's words that made Li Li wake up like an initiation, and he immediately became alert, so that he left half of his words in his mouth, hiding his truest thoughts and no longer speaking frankly. Because Mengxin is also one of his many wives and concubines, and Bing Xue is smart, can understand everything, and can draw inferences from one another, and be wise. Therefore, Li Li must have reservations, maintain a high degree of vigilance in this matter, start preparations as soon as possible, and deal with it properly, so as to prevent his children from killing each other when they grow up.

After a moment of silence, the expression on Li Li's face did not change at all, his face did not change and his heart did not beat, and he said with a smile: "Gaozu's queen Lu Pheasant is actually a strange woman in the four hundred years since the founding of the Han Dynasty, and she is also the first woman who became the queen mother after the first emperor ruled the world. He has a lot of political talents, and he has made remarkable achievements during the reign of the dynasty, many of which are commendable.

However, Empress Lü's methods were cruel, ignoring the family affection between mother and son, wantonly killing the royal nobles, wantonly promoting the Lü family's relatives and nobles, and monopolizing the dynasty, so that the Han Dynasty has been harassed by the forces of foreign relatives for 400 years, and the palace fights are endless, until the Eastern Han Dynasty is destroyed and the world is in chaos. Therefore, my opinion of Lu Pheasant is that the merits are mixed, and the reputation is half discredited! ”

Speaking of this, Li Li's words changed sharply, and he said with a solemn expression: "However, I, Li Li, am not Gaozu Liu Bang, and my wives and concubines are not power-hungry Lu Pheasants, so there will be no such infighting in the palace." Not to mention that I am superior or inferior to Gao Zu, compared to my age alone, I have an absolute advantage that he cannot match, and I have extremely ample time to cultivate an heir.

Therefore, Mengxin does not need to be so worried, our children will definitely love each other and unite as one. This last sentence is actually Li Li's self-consolation, and it is also his ardent expectation for his children. Perhaps, it is too early to consider these things at this time, and it is too unfounded, but it is just the so-called: "Those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek a moment; Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain. "After all, it's better to prevent problems before they happen than to cling to death.
