[Chapter 3: Who does the emperor's heart want] (2)

-->

Li Longji raised his eyes and stared at Xiao Jiangyuan for a while, and said hatefully: "I originally wanted to test you!" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan was stunned when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Who knew that the answer was announced in advance by the Duke of Chu - if everyone is just angry about this, there is no need." ”

"You want to be beautiful!" Li Longji hurriedly said, his expression became serious, "What makes me most angry is that I haven't done anything yet, these heroes can form a group, and the reaction is so strong, so if I show my attitude in the future, oppose them, and infringe on their rights and interests, how will they object?" If I don't listen to them, it will inevitably be said that I am not humble and stubborn, if I listen to them, how can I revive the imperial power in the future? They all started with a coup d'état, and they can help me in the past, and they can help others in the future, in case they ...... I will never allow that kind of 'what if' to exist. ”

It turns out that the hidden danger of the hero is so big, no wonder life and death intersect together, but in the end, it is inevitable to lose trust, and only fear remains. Xiao Jiangyuan couldn't help but wonder, will one day, her family Ah Lang will be so suspicious of her? As soon as she thought about it, she denied it. In essence, she is different from those heroes, and the meaning to her family Ah Lang is even different, and most importantly, her temperament is here, is he still unclear after so many years?

Since the incident of Princess Taiping passed, Xiao Jiangyuan has been convinced by Li Longji and is very confident: "Haven't you already planned what to do?" That kind of 'what in case' will never happen. ”

Li Longji was relieved, but he still said: "This exam question is gone, I have other exam questions." I'll only give you half a day to think, tell me tonight when you're on duty—how did he know my mind? ”

said that it was half a day, Xiao Jiangyuan had to go to the Inner Service Province, the Central Supervisor of the Palace, and the 24th Division of the Sixth Bureau in the afternoon, busy with matters related to the Son of Heaven going out to patrol Lishan, Li Longji was not ignorant of this, so in fact, the time he gave Xiao Jiangyuan would be good if he could have half an hour.

It seems to be a simple question, but for Xiao Jiangyuan, it can still be regarded as an exam question.

Xiao Jiangyuan secretly sighed at the increasingly tricky and harsh nature of her family's Ah Lang, and at the same time wondered if he had really become a fool in his eyes, so he listened to Li Longji say: "Continue to eat, I asked the dining room to make an ancient building specially for you." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan couldn't believe it, and only a tenth of his face was revealed. She picked up the snow-white flatbread on the plate in front of her with both hands, looked at it a few more times, and asked, "What about ...... What about the bolognese sauce on this? ”

Li Longji scratched his earlobe unconsciously: "...... I don't like to eat Gulouzi's cakes, but the meat sauce is really delicious. ”

"So...... Was the meat sauce on this cake eaten by everyone? ”

Li Longji coughed lightly: "I didn't eat it from your cake, the chefs haven't started to brush the sauce yet, I'll ...... it."

"Aren't you thirsty?" Xiao Jiangyuan didn't expect her Ah Lang to have such a strong taste, and the meat sauce that was not brushed with cake tasted quite salty.

"You say that...... I was indeed a little thirsty, and my throat was a little tight. Li Longji said and touched his throat.

Xiao Jiangyuan didn't pay attention to Li Longji anymore, and ate by himself. Gu Louzi, which has no meat sauce, is just a large Hu cake, dry and hard, Xiao Jiangyuan barely ate half of it, and he couldn't hold it out. When she got up to say goodbye, she didn't pour a glass of water for Li Longji, but smiled slightly: "Don't wait until the evening, everyone has already answered the exam questions." ”

Li Longji said unexpectedly: "Tell me to hear it? ”

"It is customary in the Tang Dynasty that when the Son of Heaven goes on patrol, the officials within a radius of 300 miles will come to visit. Yao Yuanzhi is the assassin of Tongzhou, and Tongzhou is within 300 miles of Lishan - I don't know if what the minister said is right? ”

Xiao Jiangyuan is certainly right. Li Longji is very cautious about the matter of changing the prime minister, although he has a goal, but he doesn't know whether Yao Chong can be the prime minister at this moment, if Yao Chong is directly summoned to Chang'an, I am afraid that the result will change, and it will startle the snake, which will make the heroes uneasy, so they will patrol Xingli Mountain according to the custom, and this meeting is not obvious and natural, and there is still room for improvement. This is a traceable "coincidence", so Zhang said that he could think of it, and it was also expected by Li Longji.

What Xiao Jiangyuan didn't understand was how Li Longji was sure that he understood his mind and let Jiang Jiao enter the palace, and wanted to turn the crisis into an invisible person, that is, Zhang Shuo? She was puzzled, so she asked, Li Longji sighed helplessly: "Isn't it because the other heroes have a few catties and a few taels, don't I know too well?" If they have the ability to fight with Zhang Shuo, even if they have half of Yao Chong's ability, I won't have to replace the prime minister. It is precisely because they are so different from Zhang Shuo that I have to do this. ”

In other words, if the prime minister is not changed, sooner or later Zhang said that one person is the only one and the prime minister is the only one who has the power, and it is bound to threaten the imperial power, which is exactly what Li Longji cannot tolerate. Xiao Jiangyuan already knew his heart, so he happily retired.

This year, there was a great drought in Guanzhong, and there was still no rain or snow in winter, and grain output was greatly reduced.

Queen Wang Jun then did the same, and also summoned all the concubines, so that everyone to be on par with the Son of Heaven, although the concubines were a little unbearable, but one wanted to please Li Longji's like, and the other was also convinced by the always generous and upright Queen Wang Jun, so they all agreed very happily, and the virtuous concubine Wu Guanyue had already begun fasting and praying for blessings even before the emperor did this, and her clothes and diet were very simple.

No wonder the saint doted on her the most...... The concubines tacitly looked at each other.

It's a pity...... Several pregnant concubines lowered their heads, touched their bellies, pursed their lips and smiled.

Regarding the fact that she has been favored the most but has never been pregnant, Wu Guanyue knows it but is not in a hurry. She is still young, and she has also been checked by the imperial doctor, and there is nothing wrong with her body, and it is a matter of time before she becomes pregnant. Besides, there has been no short baby cry in the palace in the past two years, and it is not uncommon for there to be more happy events, and she has not yet reached the time when she has to give birth to a child to fix her pet.

The most important thing is that at present, the heroes are prosperous, and the queen's brother Wang Shouyi is also one of the heroes, and now he has become the Duke of Jin, and the national abbot Wang Renjiao has just entered the three divisions of the opening of the palace from the first product, if she is pregnant with a child at this time, the momentum overpowers the queen, and it will do more harm than good to her, and it is a good thing not to be pregnant.

Fortunately, even if she endures, she doesn't need to endure it for too long, and at this point, she and Li Longji are allies in the same camp. After all, the emperor's favor is not very reliable, but it is more reassuring to add the bundle of interests while communicating with each other. Didn't the aunt and grandmother of that year also defeat the queen Xiao Shufei and finally ascend to the throne by having the same goal as the emperor?

- Besides, the queen is not in a hurry, what is she anxious about?

In fact, Wang Jun is just reckless on the surface, how can he not be in a hurry? She is also the most anxious person in this palace to get pregnant and have children. One is that she is the queen, and her position is unstable if she has no children, and the other is that she has been married to Li Longji for many years, and she is getting older, and the children of women of the same age are about to catch up with their mothers. Although she has three princes under her knees, the mother and son are closer than her own, even if she has no children in the future, she can also record him in her name, but after all, she still wants a child that belongs to San Lang and herself, whether it is male or female, it is better than not being able to even give birth.

Wu Guanyue has not been able to get pregnant, although Wang Jun knows that she shouldn't be like this, she still can't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Even if the two of them are destined to not return to the time of Saburo's coup, trust each other, work together to advance and retreat, and it is good that they can continue to be safe and sound like this.

Seeing that all the concubines and concubines readily agreed, Wang Jun thought for a while and said, "Emperor Taishang and Concubine Xue are elders, and they are old again, and they are no different from before, and several pregnant sisters are appropriately reduced according to the doctor's instructions. ”

The concubines said, "Yes." ”

Wang Jun said: "We are all the wives and concubines of San Lang, but also the wives and concubines of the Son of Heaven, since we should be an example for the subjects of the world, this is a great and good thing, after the sisters return to the palace, they must also fast and pray from time to time, I hope that in the coming year, my Tang Dynasty can be smooth and rainy, and the five grains will be abundant." ”

"Obey the decree of His Highness."

After all the concubines and concubines retreated, Xiao Jiangyuan walked out of the inner room of Yanjia Palace: "Her Royal Highness the Queen has really won the heart of a saint. ”
