"Brother Liu, you are late. Our breakfast shop has closed. Are you here to buy braised pork?" Li Zhang smiled and welcomed Liu Mei in. Since he refused to propose marriage to Fang last time, the old man hasn't come for a while. Unexpectedly, it was getting dark today, and he actually came again.

However, Liu Mei was a little different today because he was actually wearing an official uniform and followed several guards behind him. After he came in, he glanced at the store, and then stared at Li Zhang and said, "Brother Li, will you not consider my proposal last time?"

"Thank you for your kindness, but I really don't have this intention now. I hope my father-in-law will forgive me!" Li Zhang refused without hesitation. What he said was the truth. In his previous life, he had never considered getting married even though he lived to be thirty years old, let alone now.

Seeing that Li Zhang still disagreed, Liu Mei couldn't help but shake her head, then looked around and said, "Where is your father? I also heard that you have a sister. Call them all over, and the empress announces that you will enter the palace and be sealed!"

"Accepted?" Li Zhang was also shocked when he heard this. Although he was mentally prepared for this matter and even mentioned it to Lu Wu today, he did not expect it to come so quickly.

"Why are you still standing there? Call your family here quickly. The empress is still waiting in the palace!" Liu Mei couldn't help but frown when she saw Li Zhang standing there.

"My sister is at home, but my father doesn't know where I am. I can't find him now?" Li Zhang said helplessly at this time. Only Lu Wu knows where Li Yong and is, but Lu Wu is not here now, so Li Zhang has no choice.

Liu Mei frowned again when she heard Li Zhang's words, but it cannot be blamed for Li Zhang, because he was indeed a little hasty today, and he did not notify Li Zhang's family in advance. It was normal that they were not all here. Therefore, he immediately said again: "Forget it, you brother and sister will follow me into the palace first. As for your father, I will naturally send someone to look for it!"

When Li Zhang heard this, he immediately called Li'er, and then the two followed Liu Mei onto the carriage. However, before the carriage started, Lu Wu came back with a few people. When he saw Liu Mei who was getting on the carriage, he immediately shouted: "Liu Mei, where are you going to take Li Zhang and the others?"

Liu Mei seemed to be very familiar with Lu Wu, and when she saw him, she immediately smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, Brother Xiao Wu, are you okay?"

"Don't talk about this nonsense, where are you going to take them?" Lu Wu looked at the Li Zhang brothers and sisters in the car and asked again. He didn't seem to like Liu Mei very much, and even if he met, he didn't feel happy at all.

"The Empress asked me to invite their family to enter the palace and be granted a title, but Li Yonghe is not here, so I can only enter the palace first." Liu Mei said again very politely to Lu Wu.

When Lu Wu heard that Li Zhang and the others were going to be granted the title of the palace, he was relieved. He had been waiting for this day for a long time, so he spoke again: "I know where Li Yonghe is. I will send him into the palace later!"

"Brother Xiaowu, please enter the palace with them, this time the Empress will give you another reward!" Liu Mei smiled at Lu Wudao again, and even invited him to the palace in a negotiated tone.

"I appreciate the kindness of the empress, but I just did something I should do, so let's forget it!" Lu Wu refused with a depressed expression. After saying that, he turned around and left, without any nostalgia.

Looking at Lu Wu's back as he was leaving, Liu Mei suddenly sighed, and then got on the carriage without saying anything. Li Zhang was also comforting Li Er at this time. She had no idea what was going to happen. She seemed a little scared at this time. When she got on the carriage, she hugged in Li Zhang's arms and motionless.

After comforting Li'er, Li Zhang suddenly smiled at Liu Mei and said, "Brother Liu, are you very familiar with Uncle Wu?"

"Of course I know him. When I first met him, he was not as old as you." Liu Mei replied casually. When he said this, his face also showed a look of memories, as if he had thought of something very long ago.

"So early, wouldn't the queen meet Uncle Wu before she entered the palace?" Li Zhang asked in surprise when he heard this. He had always wanted to figure out the relationship between Lu Wu and Liu E, but Lu Wu's mouth was too strict. No matter how he inquired, he could not ask for any useful information.

"What are you asking about this?" Liu Mei asked with a vigilant look when she heard Li Zhang mention Liu E.

"Don't get me wrong with my father-in-law Liu, I'm just curious. I've seen the queen twice before. She and Uncle Wu seem to be very familiar with each other, just like an old friend, so I want to inquire about their relationship." Li Zhang saw that the other party was alert and immediately explained.

"Hehe, it's not just a friend, if it's not Dawu..." Liu Mei suddenly grinned at this moment, and was about to say something, but then she closed her mouth alertly, "These are all old things in the past. You know that these are useless, so you should take care of yourself!"

Although Liu Mei didn't finish her words, the name "Dawu" attracted Li Zhang's attention. She immediately refused to give up and asked again: "Who is Dawu? Your name is Uncle Wu Xiaowu. Does Uncle Wu have another brother?"

"Well, I didn't say anything, but you must not mention the name Dawu in front of the queen, otherwise we will both be in trouble!" Liu Mei coughed with regret at the moment, and then warned solemnly, saying that he was too old and had no one to keep in mind, but he said something he shouldn't say.

Li Zhang laughed when he heard this. Although Liu Mei denied it, he could almost confirm that Dawu should be Lu Wu's brother. The relationship between the two can be seen from the name alone. Dawu and Liu E should have a deeper relationship, which made Liu E look at Lu Wu so impressedly.

However, except for the name Dawu, no matter how indirect Li Zhang made any moves, Liu Mei would never mention the incident that year. In the end, Li Zhang got nothing and could only give up helplessly. At this time, the carriage finally came to the palace. However, it was dark at this time, and Li Zhang couldn't understand why Liu E always summoned him at night.

At that moment, Liu Mei took Li Zhang and his sister out of the carriage, then walked through numerous palaces, and finally came to a hall. When Li Zhang looked up, he saw the three big words "Chuigong Hall". He knew that this was the most important palace in the Song Dynasty palace and the place where the emperor usually handled government affairs.

Li Zhang remembered that the last time Liu E summoned him was also a main hall, but that main hall was obviously different from the buildings in the palace. Li Zhang had never seen a similar main hall along the way. Therefore, Li Zhang guessed that the last time Liu E summoned him, it should not be in the palace.

With the experience of the last time, Li Zhang seemed very calm when he followed Liu Mei into the palace, but Li Er was still a little timid. At this time, he also held Li Zhang's hand tightly, so the brother and sister entered the hall hand in hand.

However, what Li Zhang did not expect was that Liu E was not in the hall. Instead, there was an official with a square face standing in the hall. When he saw Li Zhang and his sister coming in, his majestic eyes were also looking at him up and down. Li Er was even more scared at this time, and almost hid behind Li Zhang at this time.

"Liu Observation, why are there only two children?" The majestic official in the hall looked at Li Zhang and sisters, turned his head and asked Liu Mei.

"You have reported to Li Xiang, Li Yonghe is not at home, and someone has already gone to look for him. I guess he will be here soon. These are Li Yonghe's children." Liu Mei bowed to the other party and explained.

Li Zhang was also shocked when he heard Liu Mei's words. The only person who could be called "Li Xiang" was probably the current prime minister Li Di. He heard that Li Di had a straight personality and hated evil, and was incompatible with Ding Wei, who was known as the "treacherous prime minister". Now he looked very upright, but he was just a small relative of the foreign country. How could he alarm him, the prime minister?

Li Di nodded when he heard Liu Mei's words, and then stopped talking. Liu Mei seemed to be a little afraid of Li Di, and stood there and did not dare to speak. As a result, the entire hall fell into an awkward silence.

I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly I heard footsteps coming from outside again. Then I saw Li Yonghe, who was timid and entered the hall under the guidance of an eunuch. When he saw Li Zhang and his sister, his eyes lit up and hurried to stand beside them, but he didn’t know what to call Li Di and Liu Mei?

"You are Li Yonghe?" Li Di asked at this time, breaking the silence in the hall.

"Little...the villain is exactly!" Li Yonghe immediately saluted.

"Receive the order!" Li Di took out a yellow imperial edict from his sleeve, then unfolded it and read it loudly, "The order says: Li Yong, father and son, the Tokyo people, have now been found to be..."

Li Di announced the imperial edict in front, but Li Yonghe was still stunned. As a result, Liu Mei next to him asked him to kneel down. The Li Zhang brothers and sisters behind him also knelt down like the same. Originally, the etiquette of the Song Dynasty was relatively loose, and officials usually didn't have to kneel down to receive imperial edicts. However, in such solemn occasions as in the Chuigong Hall, and it was a very formal enthronement of imperial edicts, they also needed to kneel down to receive imperial edicts, otherwise they would be disrespectful.

The Song Dynasty emphasized the text and the imperial edicts were written in a scattered manner, but the key point was that Li Yonghe had never read much and could not understand it after listening to it for a long time. Li Zhang was better, but his level of classical Chinese was also very limited, and he understood it even if he guessed and missed it. Most of the previous words were praising their family, and the last paragraph was the enthronement of them. However, the official positions of the Song Dynasty were also stinky and long, and they were also dispersed and dispersed. As a result, he could not understand what official Liu E had given them after listening for a long time.

When Li Di finished reading the imperial edict, Liu Mei pointed out the father and son to receive the imperial edict and thanked him. Then Li Di said again: "Li Yonghe, Your Majesty has appointed you as the right attendant, and you will be in the Jingcang grassland. I hope you can perform your duties and not let your Majesty down!

"Little man...Little man thanks Your Majesty for your kindness!" Li Yonghe immediately trembled and saluted again, not knowing whether it was because of excitement or fear.
