At noon on the erection day, when Li Shimin was busy with official business and preparing for dinner, he remembered that his wife had summoned Zheng Congji's wife yesterday and wanted to understand the situation, so he decided to go to the queen's side to have lunch together.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Shimin didn't let anyone inform him, and went to the Lizheng Hall by himself.

When he came over, Empress Changsun was setting up a meal here, because the prince of the country was resting today, the crown prince Li Chengqian, the king of Yue Li Tai, the princess of Changle Li Lizhi and the youngest son Li Zhi were all here.

"Your Majesty is here." When Empress Changsun saw him, she hurriedly got up and saluted.

"I've seen my father." Several children followed Empress Changsun over to salute the emperor.

"In your mother's place, I am just a father, we are all a family, there is no need to be so formal, sit down." Li Shimin waved his hand and beckoned everyone to sit down.

"I don't know Your Majesty is coming, the dishes here are relatively light, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." Empress Changsun said while asking people to set dishes and chopsticks for Li Shimin.

"It's okay, it's good for your body to eat something light occasionally." Li Shimin replied with a smile.

Li Shimin has always been very casual with his wife, and in his words, in the empress's palace, he is only a husband and father, not an emperor.

The children were not as reserved as they had seen him on other occasions, and the family had lunch happily.

The crown prince and the king of Yue are not young, knowing that the father and the emperor must have something to discuss when they come to the queen mother at this time, for this reason, after lunch, they said goodbye very brightly, and the little girl Li Lizhen also left with the two brothers.

Li Zhishang was less than three years old, and he lived with the little princess who had just been born for more than two months.

He was still young, and he had to take a nap after lunch, and he was soon taken down by the palace maid.

"Your Majesty has come to ask about Madame Zheng?" After the children left, the eldest grandson queen raised her eyes and looked at her husband and asked.

"Well, how? I didn't punish Zheng Congji severely, I only let his uncle educate on his behalf, Mrs. Zheng didn't have any dissatisfaction because of this, right? Li Shimin nodded.

Originally, the queen summoned the family members of a five-rank official and it was not his turn to come to ask, but this Xie family was different, she was originally from the Langya Xie family, and she went to the yamen to ring the drum of grievances and sue her husband.

If the court handles this matter so that she is dissatisfied and makes a big fuss, it will eventually make the court and him, the emperor, very faceless.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, that Xie is the daughter of the Langya Xie family, and her upbringing and conduct are all first-class and good, so she will not be a person who does not know the general situation, and the reason why she will sue her husband is that Lord Zheng is indeed acting a little unorthodox."

"She is very satisfied with the way the court handles it, this matter has been completely resolved, Your Majesty does not have to worry, the concubine has another matter she wants to discuss with Your Majesty." Empress Eldest Sun glanced at her husband with a little consideration, and said seriously with three points of joke and seven points of seriousness.

"What's the matter?" Li Shimin was a little inexplicable by her.

"Didn't the concubines tell Your Majesty during the Northern Expedition last year that if the Northern Expedition is successful this spring, they will open a draft for Your Majesty......" Empress Changsun pursed her lips and smiled, but there was a little bit of ridicule in her smile.

A few months ago, her husband stopped talking in front of her, and she didn't forget that she didn't forget that she wanted to say something and felt a little embarrassed, but at that time, His Majesty probably wanted to mention the draft, but he was too embarrassed to speak.

The husband is not indulgent in terms of women, but he is never pure-hearted, as his throne becomes more and more stable, and his prestige is getting more and more prosperous, he wants to add a few newcomers to his harem, and the eldest grandson queen can understand.

It's just that Li Shimin has always loved face, he has not opened a palace draft in the past few years, and he is embarrassed to mention it, hoping that she, the queen, will take the initiative to help him Zhang Luo.

After all, she did mention the draft in front of her husband last year, and there are not many concubines in her husband's harem, and Queen Changsun knew her husband's heart but didn't answer him.

It's not that he was jealous and wanted to block him, but the treasury conditions at that time did not allow it, after all, the cost of choosing a show was not a small amount.

"Ahem, Queen, it was just a joke at the time, the treasury is empty now, and silver is needed everywhere, how can you have time to toss such things, don't talk nonsense." Li Shimin looked at his wife's teasing gaze, and a trace of embarrassment suddenly appeared in his heart.

At this moment, he had an inexplicable idea in his heart that it was not a good thing for his wife to be too smart and transparent.

"Your Majesty, don't feel embarrassed, the concubines are just looking at the lack of money in the court, so there is no such thing as Zhang Luo, but the public draft is not suitable, if there happens to be a suitable woman who can be hired back and fill the harem for His Majesty, it is also a good choice....."

"Who are you talking about?" Li Shimin's face changed slightly, and his heart suddenly lifted, could it be that his wife saw what was on his mind?

"The daughter of the Zheng family? It was the little lady of the Zheng family who entered the palace with Mrs. Zheng and Xie yesterday, and the beauty of this girl's appearance is really the only one seen in the life of the concubine. ”

"Speaking of which, the people serving around Your Majesty are not bad, but in terms of appearance alone, all the concubines in this harem, including me, are only afraid that they will be inferior to her."

"The concubine pondered, such a stunning beauty, ordinary people really can't afford it, if you can hire her into the palace and give your majesty a concubine as a concubine, it is very suitable."

"Well, looking at Your Majesty's eyes, could it be that Your Majesty has any other candidates in mind? If so, it doesn't hurt to take it back as well. Empress Eldest Sun glanced at her husband with some surprise and spoke.

"Ahem, where are there any other candidates, it's just that I haven't been in the harem for many years, and now I suddenly heard you mention it, it's just a little surprising." Li Shimin's old face turned red, coughed lightly twice, and spoke.

"Really?" Empress Changsun had a suspicious look on her face, and with her understanding of her husband, his expression didn't look like he was fine.

"Of course it's true, we've been husband and wife for so many years, you don't know who I am? And the daughter of the Zheng family, is she really as beautiful as you say? ”

"In my eyes, do you think there is anyone in this world who can surpass you?" Li Shimin hurriedly said, he saw that his wife was not the person he thought he was talking about, and he was relieved, Mo Ming was a little disappointed, but he quickly cheered up, it is better not to let his wife know about this kind of thing.

"Look at what Your Majesty said, although the concubine is not arrogant, but she is not arrogant, she is not arrogant, the appearance of the concubine is not bad, but it is far from the point of being the best party, this little lady of the Zheng family is indeed a rare beauty in the world."

"Your Majesty only needs to tell your concubine whether you agree or not." Empress Eldest Sun glanced at him and said.

"This, we have to ask people about this, if their family does not agree with their daughter's entry into the palace, we can't force ......" Li Shimin was quite moved when he heard it, as a man and an emperor, when he heard such a stunning color, he naturally couldn't help but feel a little moved.
