All the brothers were there, and the reason given by Xue Chongjian was very distressing, Li Longji glanced at Xiao Jiangyuan, and promised to let him leave the palace immediately.

Xue Chongjian thought that even if he could get out of the palace, he would have to say more, but he didn't expect it to be so easy, and when he heard Li Longji's agreement, he even felt that he was in a dream. It wasn't until Li Ye thanked the Son of Heaven for him that he came back to his senses and buckled his head. In addition to the surprise, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, daring to love whether it was the emperor, the concubine or the queen, it was really not as effective as a eunuch.

In the past, he only thought that Xiao Jiangyuan was gentle and thoughtful, but he ignored the fact that she served by Empress Zetian's side, and later he treated her differently, but he never thought that one day, he would ask for her, and she was really the only one who could help him.

Time has changed, and people are no longer the people they used to be.

After Xue Chongjian thanked him and retreated, the hall was quiet, except for Dalang Li Xian, who was still pouring his own drink, and Wulang Li Ye, who was full of joy, everyone had different expressions.

This naturally can't escape Li Longji's eyes, except for Xiao Jiangyuan, the palace attendants naturally lowered their heads, their expressions changed with them, and they didn't dare to spread it anyway, as for Xiao Jiangyuan, he knew how satisfied she was without looking at it. Therefore, he only glanced at the second brother Li Yu, who lowered his eyes, and the fourth brother Li Fan, who pretended not to see anything, but his eyes were very wandering, and he sighed helplessly: "Today's banquet is almost finished, so I will disperse first." Big brother, Aya misses you and my brother very much, and I still have some things to deal with here, so the eldest brother will take the second brother and the two younger brothers to Aye's place to sit down. ”

Li Xian put down the wine, got up and arched his hand: "Yes." ”

Li Longji frowned slightly: "Big brother, this is ......"

Li Xian smiled gently: "San Lang rest assured, in the eyes of the ministers, San Lang is always San Lang, but the courtesy of the monarch and the minister cannot be abolished." ”

As soon as they heard the words "Gifts of Monarchs and Ministers", the other three brothers also hurriedly stood in a row and arched their hands: "The ministers retire." ”

Even the fifth brother Li Ye, who has always been the closest to him and the most lively, is also a lot more honest, and only his eyes are still wandering around Xiao Jiangyuan. Li Longji couldn't help but smile dumbly when he saw it in his eyes.

Well, that's the trade-off. When only Xiao Jiangyuan and himself were left in the hall, Li Longji hooked the corners of his lips, and his eyes swept towards Xiao Jiangyuan: "He still let you out of the palace." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan's face did not change: "The slave and maid suspected early on that the princess of Zhenguo expelled King Lijie from the house, which was quite strange. King Lijie was originally the most beloved son of the princess of Zhenguo, and only based on the so-called difference in political opinions, it was necessary to cut it off so far, whether the princess of Zhenguo was really strong and decisive, or did she have another purpose...... Everyone, this matter is very important, no matter who it is, you have to guard against it. ”

Li Longji sighed: "He is definitely not an aunt's meticulous work, you should know his performance these days." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan said: "Everyone doesn't suspect that he is running around in the palace, maybe he has ulterior motives?" ”

"You think he's not just here to get out of the palace?"

"The slave maid is just thinking, King Lijie is not only the five kings' mansions and palaces to live in, there are so many Buddhist temples in Chang'an City, which family can't let him live for a period of time? He was expelled from the house because he opposed the princess of Zhenguo and supported everyone, if it was according to his past nature, he should have hid in a quiet place to escape from the world and practice, in order to seek his mother's forgiveness and be alone, but in fact, he turned around and moved into the mansion of the five kings, and was invited by everyone to live in the palace soon after...... It seems that he came for some purpose, and now it's time to leave the palace and join the princess of Zhenguo. ”

Li Longji was silent for a while, suddenly chuckled, and said meaningfully: "It's as if Erlang is gone, and my aunt is no longer going to do something terrible." ”

"Do you think that now, the princess of Zhenguo will give up?" Xiao Jiangyuan was a little puzzled by Li Longji's reaction, "The previous battles had their own winners and losers, and they involved high positions and powers, but they did not directly refer to life and death. The slave maid knew that everyone actually had a little bit of thought, and wanted to end everything as soon as possible before the princess of Zhenguo made a big mistake, so that the emperor's wish could be fulfilled and the princess of Zhenguo would be killed. After that, everyone treated the princess well and did not have real power, and the emperor could naturally understand everyone's hard work, so as to give everyone peace of mind. But the coup d'état was revealed before it began, for example, people today are afraid that everyone is going to kill their own aunt ruthlessly, and the princess of Zhenguo is of course no exception. ”

"You think my coup is just for my aunt?" Li Longji stood up, walked in front of Xiao Jiangyuan, looked at her fixedly, and smiled leisurely on his lips: "Above the court, there are treacherous clouds, and anything can happen." There is only what you can't think of, and you can't change it without it. ”

“…… What do you mean by that? ”

"I just wanted to remind you that the court is my court. It's nice to like you, but I just like you. Without waiting for Xiao Jiangyuan to refute, Li Longji's tone became a little heavier, "This is the last time I remind you." ”

After Xue Chongjian left the palace, there were more drinking and banquets in the palace than before. First of all, the eldest princess born to Jieyu Liu's family was full moon, and then there was a Xiurong Qian family who gave birth to the fourth son of the emperor and was promoted to the posthumous concubine, Liu Defei, Huangfu Zhaorong and a few new talents who entered the palace were pregnant, princesses, princesses, county lords and famous wives, all invited to the palace, or happy or hanging, accompanied by Princess Xue and Queen Wang, busy for a while.

Princess Taiping was naturally invited, because Princess Xue personally invited her, she couldn't refuse. Ren is a person with a good body, after these several intense tosses, it is also a little unbearable, this small banquet to celebrate Huangfu Zhaorong's pregnancy has just begun, Princess Taiping rolled her eyes - I can't see it on weekdays, San Lang is so diligent in the matter of heirs, children come one after another, the Tang Dynasty has been a hundred years old, and the harem has never been so lively.

She didn't know that in the coming decades, the harem would be even more lively. Li Longji will become the emperor with the most children from the founding of the Tang Dynasty to its demise, and even in the entire history of emperors, there is no one - that is a later story.

At the moment, the biggest headache is not Princess Taiping, but Xiao Jiangyuan.

The affairs of the harem are naturally presided over by the queen, but the so-called host is just "hosting". It is said that the wise work hard, the capable work hard, in fact, the high position works hard, and the low position works hard, and the queen is a relatively simple thinker, there is no problem with the small family, and it is obviously far from managing the entire harem, so not only the "force" and "heart" also have to be done by Xiao Jiangyuan.

Xiao Jiangyuan likes this kind of high-ranking person, and completely lets her show her talent and ability, just like the Queen Zetian in her heart, so she has a very good impression of Queen Wang and respects her very much. Regardless of whether the queen is willing or a last resort, being able to fully trust and let go is a kind of courage.

It's just that she forgot that not everyone can be so laissez-faire, including herself. She still enjoys this busy and often unprepared pain, the only thing she is not satisfied with is that she could not predict or see in time which concubine is pregnant, so she should prepare early, and in the past two months, this sudden thing has inevitably been a bit too much, almost disrupting her plans.

- It's not all her fault for Ah Lang.

Facing the smoothly held banquet, Xiao Jiangyuan quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at his own Ah Lang by the way.

Recently, Li Longji can always see Xiao Jiangyuan glancing at himself with such indescribable eyes, because those eyes are always fleeting, and Li Longji always has no time to taste the meaning, he only feels that he is extremely innocent. Today he couldn't help it, so he turned his head sideways and whispered: "I don't call concubines very often, and the rain and dew are even, you can also see this, but they are pregnant, what can I do?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan smiled as before: "...... Slave and maid congratulations to everyone on their prosperity, this is the royal fortune, but also the Tang Dynasty's luck. ”

Li Longji's eyebrows twitched, and he snorted lightly: "If you want to blame it, blame your grandmother, who let her kill so many people in my Li family, God is fair, those who died before are estimated to be made up from me, this is just the beginning." ”

The swan song of the Tang Dynasty
