At noon, on Luoyang Street in the capital.

Tianbao accompanied Wu Zetian on the street.

Tianbao said embarrassedly, "I really can't think of the emperor...... I'll have time to go out and walk around."

Wu Zetian sighed with emotion: "Since ancient times, people have believed that the emperor is respectful, and he must live deep in the palace and easily not step out of the imperial city, so he will try his best to deceive him unscrupulously."

Tianbao was stunned for a moment, hesitated and nodded, "Only by going out and walking more and experiencing the people's feelings more can we know the suffering of the people, prescribe the right medicine, and practice more benevolent government."

Wu Zetian nodded and said, "Well, looking at those twists and turns, I always don't know what is going on, only when I come out this time can I really know the hardships of folk life, this is already the case at the foot of the imperial city, let alone elsewhere?"

Tianbao nodded, "It seems that this trip has been very fruitful."

Wu Zetian nodded and said, "Let's just say that, I spent a few taels of silver, sold two cabbages and a few words of truth, and just now, I saw all kinds of things in the world, and you, the pillar of the court."

Tianbao was startled and hurriedly said, "Emperor...... It's serious, Tianbao doesn't dare."

Wu Zetian said with a smile: "Yes or no, my eyes are the clearest, and thousands of good words are not as good as what you see with your own eyes, and you don't have to be humble."

Tianbao bowed and said, "Yes."

Wu Zetian was puzzled, "It seems that you know them just now?"

Tianbao nodded and said, "Sort of, she is the third aunt who lives next door to us, she is very kind and filial to her mother-in-law...... It's a pity that Xianggong is a good gambler, addicted to gambling like his life, no one listens to him, and his family is all lost...... Hey, it's a pity that the two children are still young, and they have to suffer with them, and I don't know what will happen in the future."

Wu Zetian nodded and said, "You can help them for a while, but you can't help them for a lifetime, I'm afraid you will have to work in vain......

Tianbao sighed, "There is no way to do this, only one step at a time."

Wu Zetian said: "...... I remember you're from Panlong Town?"

Tianbao said, "Well, because I have to catch the exam, I moved my home here, and it's not far from here."

Wu Zetian was surprised, "Really? Would you like me to come and sit down at your house?"

Tianbao was surprised, "My family?"

Wu Zetian was puzzled, "Not welcome?"

Tianbao was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Welcome, of course welcome."

Wu Zetian nodded and said, "Well, then bother."

Tianbao hurriedly said, "No, how can it be, don't bother."

At noon, on Luoyang Street in the capital.

Tianbao took Wu Zetian on the street.

Tianbao pointed to the front and said, "It's two more streets away, soon."

Wu Zetian nodded and said, "Well, okay."

Just as the two of them passed by an inn, they saw a burden thrown out, and then a woman was pushed out by the innkeeper and shouted, "What inn do you have no money to live in, let's go, go quickly."

The woman begged: "Boss, boss......" Seeing the boss resolutely go back, she had no choice but to pick up the burden on the ground, and when she looked up, she saw Wu Zetian and Tianbao walking to her, startled, and said in surprise: "Gao Gongzi?"

Tianbao was surprised, "Cui Hong?"

Wu Zetian was puzzled, "You know?"

Tianbao hurriedly said, "She is a friend of mine in Panlong Town, Cui Hong, Miss Cui."

Wu Zetian nodded and said, "Well, it turned out to be Miss Cui."

Cui Hong hurriedly said, "Cui Hong has seen Madame."

Wu Zetian said: "Look at your beautiful appearance, you seem to be the daughter of a big family, but why...... Kicked out of the inn."

Cui Hong was sad for a while, and wept: "This, it's all my fault, blame me for being too naïve, and mistrusting bad people, which led to today's end......

Tianbao was taken aback and wondered, "Aren't you in Panlong Town? How did you get to the capital?"

Cui Hong said sadly: "Alas, this has to start from two months ago......

……

In Yihong Courtyard, in the piano room, a handsome scholar was listening below

Cui Hong played the piano and seemed to be very intoxicated......

……

Cui Hong said sadly: "He said that he is the young master of a big family in the capital, and he comes to listen to me play the piano every day, praises me for playing well, and admires me very much between words."

Wu Zetian was puzzled: "Did he say that he likes you very much and wants to redeem himself for you?"

Cui Hong was surprised, "How does Madam know?"

Wu Zetian said helplessly: "That's what the books say."

Tianbao hurriedly said, "What about later? How's that?"

Cui Hong said gloomily, "Later, he said that he could help me introduce me to the music shop in the capital...... I also wanted to get out of there, so I believed his sweet words, and took all my savings and let him redeem myself for me."

Wu Zetian said: "When the money is in hand, it is time to run away."

Cui Hong nodded and said: "Later, he took me to live in this inn in the capital, saying that he was going out to do something, and he would come to pick me up, who knows, I waited for half a month and didn't see him come, until today, when the boss urged me to pay the house money, I found out that the gold and silver in the burden were all by him, and he ...... He didn't even pay for the house."

Wu Zetian sighed: "Since ancient times, I don't know how many young women have been deceived like this."

Tianbao hurriedly said, "Then Miss Cui, what are your plans in the future?"

Cui Hong said gloomily, "Plans? I don't know, I don't have anything on me now, not even a place to live."

Tianbao thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you ...... Why don't you come to live with us for the time being?"

Cui Hong was surprised: "Ten miles of incense?"

Tianbao said, "We have opened a new home in the capital, not far from here."

Cui Hong hesitated, "This ...... Won't it bother you?"

Tianbao hurriedly said: "No, of course not, many of us, everyone also takes care of each other."

Cui Hong hesitated and said, "Then, thank you Gao Gongzi, Cui Hong really doesn't know how to thank you."

Tianbao hurriedly said, "You're welcome, everyone is a friend, what's polite."

Cui Hong hurriedly said: "Gongzi Xie Gao will help you righteously, as long as Cui Hong finds a place to stay, he will move out immediately, and he will not continue to bother you."

Tianbao hurriedly said, "You're welcome, don't be in a hurry."

Wu Zetian smiled, "I found that you are really ...... It's strange and rare."

Tianbao wondered, "Strange?"

Wu Zetian nodded and said, "You like to help others very much, and you don't seem to be afraid of trouble, you never get tired of it, and you enjoy it."

Tianbao was embarrassed for a while, and hurriedly said, "Where, Madame said and laughed...... Hey, madam, when it comes to this, Tianbao has something to ask for."

Wu Zetian was surprised: "Oh? Tell me about it."

Tianbao said: "This Cui Hong girl used to be the daughter of the eunuch's family, she has been learning to play the piano diligently since she was a child, and she has heard it in Xin, it is indeed wonderful and beautiful, it is enough to call everyone, only because of the fall of the family to this point, Tianbao begged the emperor to let her serve in the teaching workshop."

Cui Hong was taken aback and looked at Wu Zetian in surprise.

Tianbao nodded, Cui Hong was startled, and was about to kneel, but was supported by Wu Zetian and said, "Hey, Miss Cui, please get up."

Cui Hong hurriedly said, "Cui Hong has seen the emperor."

Wu Zetian smiled and said, "There is no emperor here today, I am just a very ordinary lady, you are the same as Tianbao, just call me Mrs."

Cui Hong was stunned for a moment, hesitated and hurriedly bowed and saluted, "It's madam."

Wu Zetian nodded and said, "What Tianbao said just now, I believe it is true, and I have agreed, you will wait for the notice in Shilixiang."

Cui Hong was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Emperor Xie...... Ah no, Mrs. Xie, Mr. Xie Gao."

At noon, the capital Luoyang Shilixiang.

Sister Xiu was counting the accounts on the counter, Aixue was playing with chopsticks on the side, stacking a pair of chopsticks high, suddenly, when she put one up, the whole "tower" collapsed with a bang, and she was disappointed, looked outside in annoyance, and complained: "Tianbao is really good, and he hasn't come back at this time."

Sister Xiu said, "Maybe something is delayed."

Ai Xue said angrily, "What else can happen? I should come back as soon as I'm done, I don't know if people are worried."

Sister Xiu smiled: "You are pestering him like this, it is better for you to lead him with a rope, when do you want him to come back, just pull it."

Ai Xue was surprised, "Is there such a rope? Sister Xiu, why don't you help me get a long and invisible rope out."

Sister Xiu reproached: "You want to be beautiful to you, you have to change yourself, so I won't go crazy with you."

Ai Xue was disappointed for a while, and said discouragedly, "If I could change, I would have changed it a long time ago."

At this time, he saw Tianbao come in with Wu Zetian and Cui Hong, and shouted, "Sister Xiu, I'm back."

Aixue said happily, "You're back." Seeing Cui Hong on the side, he exclaimed, "Cui Hong?"

Cui Hong said happily, "White girl."

Ai Xueqiang smiled, "Hehe, we meet again." Pulling Tianbao to the side, he said hurriedly, "Why is she here? I'll come back with you."

Tianbao hurriedly said, "I'll tell you when I'm free, I'll introduce you to someone first." Pulled Aixue to Wu Zetian and said, "Sister Xiu, Aixue, what about this lady, I am in the capital...... Mrs. Wu, whom I met soon...... Madam, this is Sister Xiu, the boss of Shilixiang, what about her, is under the ...... Lady, Bai Aixue."

Ai Xue was surprised, "Mrs. Wu?"

Sister Xiu hurriedly said, "It turned out to be Mrs. Wu, fortunately, fortunately."

Wu Zetian nodded in return with a smile, looked around and said, "Your place is good, the location is good, the place is spacious, and the business must be good."

Sister Xiu said modestly, "Madame has praised it, so it's okay."

Wu Zetian nodded and said, "Well, I want to disturb and have a meal at your place, okay?"

Sister Xiu hurriedly said, "Yes, of course you can, no problem, welcome."

Wu Zetian took the cabbage in the little eunuch's hand and handed it over and said, "Please use these two cabbages to help me cook a few dishes."

Sister Xiu took the cabbage, and was surprised for a while, Wu Zetian was puzzled, "What? Can't you?"

Tianbao hurriedly said, "Yes, of course, madam, Miss Cui, why don't we go and sit over there first."

Wu Zetian nodded and said, "Well, okay." Follow Tempo to the side.

Tianbao led the three of them inside, helped move the stools, wiped the table, poured the tea, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll help you order."

Wu Zetian nodded and said, "I'm tired."

Cui Hong said, "Master Gao, why don't I help you."

Tianbao hurriedly said, "No, you are a guest, just sit."

Wu Zetian persuaded, "You don't have to be so polite, let's just sit down."

Cui Hong hesitated and had to say, "Well, okay, Gao Gongzi, it's hard for you."

Sister Xiu and Aixue looked at the three of them very puzzled.

Ai Xue wondered, "What's wrong today? As soon as I came back, I brought back two such inexplicable and wonderful people."

Sister Xiu looked at it and said, "I see, this Mrs. Wu is a bit not simple."

Ai Xue was surprised, "Isn't it easy?"

Sister Xiu nodded and said, "Oh, Tianbao is here, just ask him if you want to know."

Seeing Tianbao coming, Ai Xue hurriedly grabbed and said, "Who is Mrs. Nawu?"

Tianbao whispered, "Be quiet, I'll tell you, but you have to be prepared."

Ai Xue hurriedly said: "Who is so mysterious, is it possible that he is still the emperor."

Tianbao stretched out his thumb and said, "Just guess it."

Ai Xue was startled, half came back to her senses, and said in surprise, "She...... Is she really the emperor?"

Tianbao nodded and said, "If you are a fake emperor, you have to be careful, if you anger the emperor, you will be killed at any time."

Ai Xue was scared for a while and said in surprise, "Really? Don't scare me."

Sister Xiu persuaded: "Don't scare Aixue, hey, she took these two cabbages and made a few dishes, and that was the first time I met her."

See you."

Tianbao said embarrassedly, "It's quite difficult, can you do it?"

Sister Xiu looked at it and said, "It's no surprise that I'm here, make sure she's satisfied."

Tianbao breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Well, then I'll rest assured, I've worked hard Sister Xiu."

Sister Xiu smiled, "Okay, you help me look at the counter, Aixue, you go to the kitchen with me to help cook."

Tianbao hurriedly said, "Okay, no problem."

Ai Xue was puzzled: "These two cabbages, how many dishes to make, is it okay?" Isn't she tired of eating?"

Sister Xiu smiled, "Just follow me, I'll pass on this skill to you."

Aixue said happily, "Okay, okay, I want to learn." happily followed Sister Xiu to the back.
