Li Zhien had been with Bai Qiaoqiao for so long, so he naturally knew what she was going to do. He held back his laughter, stretched out his hand to hold Zhang Tianai, and said: "Sister, don't be anxious, now that you are gone, your husband is really going to run away, so let your wife go."

Well, let’s wait here.”

Zhang Tianai hesitated for a moment and nodded. She was really afraid that Li Mu would go to Wang Ou. That foxy girl was obviously over thirty years old, but she still looked so young and had a devilish demeanor. She was not a good person at first glance.

Bai Qiaoqiao ran away as if he was running away, and did not return in the middle of the night. Zhang Tianai was still waiting at first, but after waiting for two hours and no one was seen, it was too late and he fell asleep in a daze. Waiting until the second day

When Tian woke up, Bai Qiaoqiao appeared next to him. He suddenly felt a little strange in his heart, but he didn't know what was strange. He sat blankly for a while and then got up.

Li Mu also got up early. Zhang Tianai strolled to the front yard and happened to see Li Mu coming out of the studio. The two of them bumped into each other, looked at each other, and each looked away guiltily.

Li Mu had a guilty conscience. He and Bai Qiaoqiao spent half the night yesterday, and Zhang Tianai might notice it. Zhang Tianai, on the other hand, was worried about his relationship with Li Mu. He was so afraid yesterday that he would definitely become estranged. If this goes on, how can we get married and be a husband and wife?

?

"You...do you regret it?"

Zhang Tianai asked confusedly, but Li Mu was confused and asked blankly: "What do you regret?"

"I regret agreeing to marry me as my fourth concubine."

"No, did I say that?" Li Mu looked at Zhang Tianai's appearance and suddenly understood. He stretched out his hand tentatively. Seeing that Zhang Tianai raised his leg and kicked her over without any reflex, he boldly grabbed her hand. Zhang Tianai's body froze.

, there was a subconscious movement to pull out my hand, but I tried my best to hold it back and did not move.

Li Mu let out a long breath and said, "That's right, you misunderstood me."

"Um?"

"Let me tell you what you think. You see, although we are engaged for life, we are not married yet. If you sleep together like this, it will harm your reputation."

Zhang Tianai said hurriedly: "I don't care."

"No, don't you care?" Li Mu never expected such an answer. She is indeed a frontier woman, she is indeed heroic!

"But I care!" Li Mu said affectionately: "I married you because I like you. You are my sweetheart, how can I allow myself to treat you casually? You have a father alive, and I also have a mother here.

Such a major marriage event is just a betrothal gift. How can it be done without a marriage certificate?"

Zhang Tianai glanced at Li Mu suspiciously and said, "I know you are grateful."

"That's different!" Li Mu explained seriously: "Zhien is a maid named Qiaoqiao. There is a saying in the Central Plains that she is called a maid who does not need these complicated rules. Moreover, Zhien is from Goguryeo. According to her, she

My parents are gone too, so even if I want to pay for the betrothal gift, I can’t do it.”

"So that's it." Zhang Tianai nodded with understanding, and suddenly saw that his hand was still being held by Li Mu, he quickly retracted and said shyly: "According to you, we are not married yet, so we can't hold your hand."

"Yes, yes..." The words had been spoken and it was a done deal. There was no way to take it back. Li Mu had no choice but to pinch his nose and admit it, saying: "This is how it should be, so don't do it..."

Zhang Tianai sighed again and said: "If I hadn't heard you tell me, I wouldn't have known that Zhien had such a miserable life experience. Seeing her happy all day long, I thought she was...that's all, she is my sister.

I'm negligent, I'll go talk to her right now."

Li Mu cursed in his heart, you were the last to come in, you are the fourth concubine, and Zhi En is the second concubine. If you want to call me sister, you should call me sister. But you are shameless and call yourself sister.

But if you think about it, you can't blame her. Qiaoqiao also calls her sister, and even calls her sister Wang Ou. The rules she made that day were just as messy as before.

Suddenly Li Mu remembered something and blurted out: "Talk to Zhien. Don't wake Qiaoqiao up. Let her sleep a little longer. She was tired last night."

"Huh?" Zhang Tianai looked at Li Mu suspiciously and said, "Didn't Qiaoqiao apply medicine on you? Will you be tired even if you apply medicine?"

"Uh..." Li Mu clicked his eyes and said, "After applying the medicine, we still chatted. Chatting is quite tiring."

The look of suspicion on Zhang Tianai's face became thicker, and his eyebrows were furrowed heroically. Suddenly, the gossip of the women in the village flashed through his mind, and he suddenly understood what happened last night. A red cloud suddenly flew up on his cheeks, and he glared fiercely.

Li Mu glanced at him and said: "It's all because of you, a bad person, who taught Qiao Qiao bad! I'll ignore you!"

Seeing that the situation was over, Li Mu couldn't hide it any more. He was really shameless, looked at Zhang Tianai's back and shouted: "What's so bad about being bad? When we get married, you will be broken by me sooner or later."

Zhang Tianai covered his ears and ran faster. Xiaozhu and Xiaolan walked by and peeked over. Li Muhu glared at him, and the two maids ran away laughing, saying: "There was so much noise last night, we all

I heard you!"

"What did you hear?" Li Mu called out, "Stop fighting me. Stop here and see if I don't punish you!"

The two of them ran faster. They were not afraid at all. They had been together for so long. Although Li Mu always said he was a villain, he had never beaten his servants. Moreover, because of what he said last time, he helped his servants redeem their relatives.

The incident has already won people's hearts, and everyone in the family regards him as a relative, and they work harder and harder. This fear is reduced.

"Boss, you're awake."

Li Chongyi came over, his face didn't look hungover at all. The amount of wine he drank yesterday was nothing to him.

Li Mu scratched his head and said: "Go and assemble the team, and then take the people to the Ministry of Industry first. Take the money and pass by the West Market to buy some food for the nobles. Don't go hungry. I'll wash up and have breakfast before going over."

Li Chongyi nodded, turned and left. Li Mu came to Dugujiu's room door, knocked on the window, and shouted: "Don't drink and pretend to be dead, get up quickly, wash up and eat, there is something to do today!"

"knew"

A girl's voice came from the room, and the sound stopped abruptly. After a moment of silence, Dugu Jiu's usual voice came out again, saying: "I understand, brother, don't wait here, I'll come right now."

Apparently he put the mask back on.

Li Mu laughed dumbly, shook his head, and went to the kitchen.

…

Tai Chi Hall.

Today is not a day for court meetings, but there are still many memorials. Li Shimin also just got up, yawning, eating porridge, and flipping through the memorials casually, looking listless.

No matter how civilized and moral Li Shimin is described in history books, first of all, he is still a human being, and he is only thirty-two years old. When people are lazy, he is no exception.

Today, Li Shimin was very lazy. He wanted to be lazy, but the idea flashed through his mind and was rejected by himself.

Only he himself knows how hard it was for him to get the throne. If the Xuanwu Sect's swords and swords are slightly different, he will die. Moreover, if he can't make a show to prove his wisdom, the world's Youyou people will still die.

I don't know how unpleasant the scolding will be.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin finished the porridge in two gulps and waved his hand to signal Eunuch Gao to remove the bowls and chopsticks. He picked up the memorial in front of him and read it carefully.

After reading two or three books, Li Shimin suddenly frowned. Eunuch Gao had served Li Shimin for twenty years and was familiar with every detail of Li Shimin's expressions. Seeing his look, you knew that this memorial was not simple. But he also

If you’re not curious, as a eunuch, Eunuch Gao knows too much about propriety. Big matters are decided by His Majesty and the adults in the court. He is a eunuch, no matter how right he is, no one will listen to him. In this case

, it’s better not to say anything.

Li Shimin read it for a long time, spread the memorial on the table, and said: "High cadre,"

Eunuch Gao hurriedly agreed: "I'm here, old slave."

"The son of the Lord of Gaochang came to Chang'an one step ahead of schedule. Has the bad guy come to avenge this matter?"

Eunuch Gao looked confused and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I haven't received the message!"

"Absurd!" Li Shimin slapped the table, which made Eunuch Gao tremble and lower his head.

"The bad people didn't know about such a big thing, and they had to write to me from the Chang'an County Magistrate before I knew about it. What use do I have for these bad people if I only know it later?"

Eunuch Gao quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, this old slave deserves to die. It's all my fault. Please calm down."

"You..." Li Shimin looked at Eunuch Gao who was kneeling on the ground, sighed, and said, "That's all, this job isn't yours. You took it temporarily and I can't blame you if you don't do it well." He paused.

After a while, Li Shimin asked: "Is there any news about Yuan Tiangang recently?"

"Yes," Eunuch Gao replied; "I sent back a letter three days ago with the same content as the letter seven days ago, but I still haven't found it."

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "It has been two months since he went to Huining, and it has been a long time. Since he has not been found for so long, I think he will not be found for a while. Send him a letter and ask him to come back. I am still useful.

Where you have gained Him, you cannot afford to delay."

Eunuch Gao hurriedly responded: "No."

Li Shimin looked at him and said: "Get up too, go to the Chang'an County Government Office and ask Wang Zhongyuan to come see me. And ask him to bring those two barbarians with him."

Hu people?

Eunuch Gao secretly thought, what connection does this have with the Hu people? He didn't dare to ask, so he had to hide this doubt in his heart and thought about going to Chang'an County Government to see what was going on.

Eunuch Gao agreed and went out of the palace to deliver the decree. Li Shimin picked up the memorial again and read it from the beginning.

The county magistrate seems to be a small official, but there is a big difference between the county magistrate and the county magistrate. Chang'an and Wannian counties are important areas in the capital. The county magistrates of these two counties are not the seventh grade, but the fifth grade.

The third-rank official can be the prime minister and assistant, and the fifth-rank official is considered rare in the court. Otherwise, Wang Zhongyuan would not be a county magistrate. The local county magistrate has no power to submit memorials to the emperor, but the county magistrate of Chang'an County

Ling Queyou. At the feet of the Emperor, even the most trivial matters are also major matters, and nothing can go wrong.
