"You are different from other concubines, you are very generous, but you just use me as a favor, it's really bold." Li Longji did not go to the queen's bedroom, he had his own considerations. He knew that Wang Shouyi was the first to come back to arrange food, clothing, housing and transportation for the emperor in the name of the young eunuch in his palace, but in fact, he must have something to tell the queen - it was nothing more than the frustration of the hero, Li Longji didn't want to go to the queen's bedroom, because he was afraid of bumping into Wang Shouyi, who had not had time to leave the palace, or hearing the queen say good things about the hero.

Since Xiao Jiangyuan has integrated the things within his position, he does not need to go to the right prison guard and the inner chamberlain every day, Li Longji has asked her to serve by his side during the day, and at night he is on duty with other personal eunuchs in shifts. This night, Li Longji took pity on her for her hard work, gave her leave, and let her go back to sleep. She is not there, Li Longji is not interesting to go back to his residence, the other concubines are either pregnant, or have just given birth to a child, or they can't talk, but Wu Guanyue is the most popular with him, but he, a first-class virtuous concubine, suddenly became virtuous and drove him out.

Wu Guanyue shouted wronged: "Yueniang doesn't dare to take San Lang as a favor for the queen." It's just that the harem is different, the respect and humility are moderate, the young and the old are orderly, no matter how they are arranged, it is not the turn of Yueniang to welcome the first night of her husband's return from a long trip, Yueniang is just keeping her duty. San Lang is now a good talent, and it is precisely when he wants to concentrate on the outside court to be high-spirited and drastic, and the inner court must be stable, so as not to worry about San Lang's future. ”

"Do you think that if you act with dignity and humility, and convince people with virtue and reason, the inner court will be able to settle down?"

"The outer court is so big, let alone the court?" Seeing that Li Longji pouted slightly in disapproval, Wu Guanyue said with a smile, "Isn't it that San Lang thinks that women will only be jealous and look down on women?" ”

"No, no, no!" Li Longji hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I don't dare to underestimate women since I was a child. ”

Wu Guanyue knew that Li Longji was like this, so she was just joking, but as soon as she heard Li Longji's words, she didn't feel a little embarrassed, after all, the woman Li Longji didn't dare to underestimate since she was a child was second to none her aunt and grandmother, the Great Sage Empress.

Li Longji was also a little embarrassed. He was very considerate of Wu Guanyue's feelings, and said with a dry smile: "Then I will go to the queen first, and I will come to see you tomorrow." ”

Wu Guanyue sent it off. As soon as Li Longji's back disappeared outside the Xianchi Palace, most of her smile was lost, and only a bitter smile remained. Seeing Wu Guanyue send Li Longji away, he followed Wu Guanyue and comforted: "Madame, don't be frustrated, the saint is amorous, and the concubines and children are gradually increasing, if you want to treat everyone equally, it is inevitable to take care of one or the other, that is the queen again, and she is an indisputable person." Fortunately, the saint came to see Madame as soon as he returned to the palace. ”

"Fight for it...... A good one is indisputable. Wu Guanyue shook her head, "I took the initiative to send the saints to the queen, how could I compete with them for this overnight favor?" ”

"Why is that lady frustrated?"

"It's not convenient for you to know this right now." Wu Guanyue turned her head and stared at the palace maid who grew up with her, "What you need to know is that what I want to fight for is not limited to the inner court, don't use a narrow mind to figure me out in the future." Since you plan to do things by my side, and you also have the mind of both prosperity and loss, then you must enlarge your mind and look far. I will try to make myself better than the queen, and you must also be better than the palace around the queen. ”

Seeing Wu Su'er's solemn bow, Wu Guanyue breathed a sigh of relief, but just this could not shake her heavy heart in the slightest - the last strategy of Yao Chong's ten strategies was to remember Wu Zhou's incident in the annals of history, and always remind Li Tang's descendants not to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Even Yao Chong, who used to be so loyal to his aunt and grandmother, was like this, and the other courtiers were only more defensive. Once upon a time, her surname was the greatest advantage and security in this life, but now it is the root of her walking on thin ice. Fortunately, she is not in a hurry, time is a panacea, this hatred and defense will subside one day, and she believes that that day will not be too far away.

By the time Li Longji arrived at Yanjia Palace, Wang Shouyi had already left the palace. Queen Wang thought that Li Longji was going to rest at Wu Guanyue tonight, so she also took off her makeup and changed her clothes and planned to go to bed early, but she didn't want Li Longji to come over. For a while, he was disheveled, in a hurry, and very embarrassed.

Li Long basically thought that Queen Wang was either lost or angry and sat in front of the makeup mirror and waited alone, even if he might not come tonight, or after listening to Wang Shouyi's words, he looked worried, and he also played a lot of drafts to deal with his wife along the way, but he never expected to see such a scene.

His queen was not disappointed, angry, or sorrowful, not only accepted the fact that he might stay at Wu Guanyue's place on the first night of his return to the palace, but also washed and slept peacefully? It is true that as a queen, it is also his blessing to have such a heart, but Li Longji is quite unhappy in his heart.

She's his wife......

Queen Wang didn't expect Li Longji to come at all, so Li Longji was slightly stunned, and she was also curious about Li Longji's intention with a blank face. The two of them stared at each other like this, and were quiet for a while, Li Longji realized that a manly husband might have to speak first, so he cleared his throat and said, "The queen doesn't have anything to say to me?" ”

Wang Shouyi must have said something to her, now that he Li Longji has arrived, isn't this a good time for her to tell him? Why did he, the queen, keep looking at him stupidly, as if he was looking for her for something.

Queen Wang couldn't help but slander, obviously you came to me, but you asked me what was the matter? That's it, whoever makes her husband the emperor must give in more or less, not to mention that she does have something to say to him. With a helpless smile, she pulled Li Longji to sit on the couch and talked about Wang Shouyi's marriage.

This was even more unexpected by Li Longji: "What you want to tell me, that's all?" ”

"Otherwise, Saburo thinks, what am I going to say?" The queen became more and more confused.

If it was Wu Guanyue, he would have understood what he meant at this time, and could give a reasonable and comfortable answer, but the one in front of him was his wife Ah Jun. Li Longji couldn't help but hesitate, although they are husband and wife, they are also the Son of Heaven and the Queen, with this relationship, can some words be said frankly and thoroughly like before?

He hesitated for only a moment, then decided to speak. One is that Ah Jun of his family has always been a straight-minded and straight-hearted person, and she talks a lot, she may not be able to understand what he means, and second, he doesn't want to be reduced to a lonely person just after he sits on the throne. He always hoped that he could be a humane emperor who could save his parents, brothers, wives and concubines and children - this kind of thing is written in the history books, and it is also a legendary story, which will be famous for centuries.

"I thought my eldest brother came to you today to ask for something else."

Queen Wang didn't intend to hide it from Li Longji, but since he already knew, she said: "Brother did come to me today, and he really wanted to ask for something else, but I scolded him back-what is his identity, and that is what he can manage?" In my opinion, it's too late to avoid it. ”

On top of the overall situation, Queen Wang has never gone wrong. Li Longji heard his wife say this, and he laughed a lot: "The queen is virtuous, comparable to Wende." ”

"San Lang dares to say that, I don't dare to admit it." Queen Wang was amused by her husband, "Brother also begged for this marriage, and he also wanted me to help him see if there was a suitable one among the five surnamed women, isn't it embarrassing for me?" ”

"A man in the world, who doesn't want to marry a woman with five surnames? He wants to marry, so he is motivated. Li Longji rolled his eyes, "But the suitable candidate in my heart is not from the five surnames and seven wangs, but the status is not low, such a woman, will the eldest brother be satisfied?" ”

"Saburo, don't get used to him." Queen Wang hurriedly said, "If you want me to say, it doesn't matter if the family is almost there, the main character is kind and smooth, kind and virtuous." ”

"The character is also kind, and there is no big problem with being kind and virtuous......"

"Who is Saburo talking about?"

"Don't worry, wait until we go to greet Aya tomorrow and ask Aya what he means."

Queen Wang was a little apprehensive and said, "My brother's marriage is still troublesome to the emperor, isn't it?" ”

Li Longji said with a smile: "Marriage is the life of my parents and the words of the matchmaker, I am willing to be this matchmaker, but I must have the life of Aya as a parent." ”

Only then did Queen Wang understand: "San Lang...... Do you want your brother to be the master? ”

Li Longji bowed his head and said: "After the lord of Shang, you and I are close to each other, and the uncle and uncle of the country and even the entire family have a stable position, and there is no need to flaunt themselves with merit." You're doing the right thing today. Once the son of heaven is still a courtier, when the new official of Yao Gong takes office, he has to kick off a few stumbling stones, and the eldest brother should stay away from other heroes, don't splash dirt. I promised Gong Yao that I would never show favoritism to the emperor's relatives and relatives, but don't hold me back. ”

Seeing that her husband was still protecting his family, as before, Queen Wang was both happy and moved. It is always said in the world that it is easy for husband and wife to share hardships and prosperity, and San Lang and her will definitely not be like this. She solemnly nodded and agreed to her husband, and listened to her husband's own plan: "When will I invite my father-in-law and mother-in-law into the palace and have a meal together." I think I went to my father-in-law's house to eat and drink a lot back then, and now that I'm out of town, I should also honor them......"

The queen couldn't help but caress her lower abdomen, a little melancholy in her joy - if there was another child in her belly at this time, everything would be complete.

Knowing that Li Longji planned to marry Princess Qingyang to the queen's eldest brother Wang Shouyi, although Li Dan was reluctant to marry, he did not object to this marriage. After all, the princess joined the queen's mother's family, and this kind of thing happened during the reign of Emperor Taizong, and it was not an insult to the princess. The Wang family was originally mixed with the matter of the lord, and learned that Princess Qingyang was different from many princesses in the past, and was a relatively peaceful person, so he was a little relieved.

On the day of the wedding, Li Longji also helped Li Dan, went to Wang Renjiao's mansion with several brothers to say goodbye, and personally witnessed the wedding ceremony in the princess's mansion. The emperor's sister and the queen's brother were married, the emperor and the uncle were each other's eldest brothers, and the queen and the princess called each other "sister-in-law", which was a good story for a while.

Since then, the concubines have become more and more respectful to the queen. At this time, the news that Wu Guanyue was pregnant came out of the Xianchi Palace.
