So many worries disappeared in the eyes of my mother-in-law.
Regardless of whether the carrot soup was paired with Difanzi or Wangyoujun, he was wondering, how could these things be spread back to the palace? This woman stayed in the Qingning Palace quite honestly, how could she be so well-informed?
Of course, there were many people rushing to flatter the Queen, as many as those in Chang'an who wanted to serve the emperor.
The servants assigned to Empress Xiao's residence were all palace servants, so it was only natural for them to report the news to the Empress.
"You're still acting weird after dinner. Come and have a few drinks with me. I'm so tired these days that I'm almost calling you mother. You're so carefree in the palace. You even have the time to inquire about Qingsi Yin. Hey, you
Not to mention, Madam Xiao is so talented, tsk tsk, and the name she chose is really nice."
There was a slap from the other side, and he immediately punched back with a secret jab.
The hair over there immediately exploded, and then he calmed down, and then he hummed twice and said: "I go out and wander around all day long, and you still say that I am carefree, and all the people I provoke come to my door, I will come here again."
I'm afraid it will get worse in a few days."
Li Po began to eat the food, and after a few mouthfuls he nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, I know you have worked hard and accomplished a lot. Just look at this meal and you will know that you are not idle. You are much more careful than when we were in the Han Dynasty."
Looking at the smile on her husband's face, Li Bi really couldn't get angry. After all these years, her husband has not changed his original intention and never tires of food. As long as he eats well, his mood will always feel better, which is like good medicine.
generally.
She poured her husband a glass of wine and said, "I heard that there is another good news in Sichuan. It's really gratifying and congratulatory. I'd like to offer you a drink. I wish you a great success as soon as possible, so that people in the world will suffer less."
These words were spoken in a grand and compassionate tone, exactly like the tone of the Empress of the First Dynasty. Obviously, the adaptability of the couple is still so amazing. In half a year, they have initially integrated into their respective roles.
Li Po laughed, raised his glass and clinked it with her, then drank it down, "What happens to the people in the world is actually none of our business, but when I become the emperor and you become the queen, it will also be the business of the people in the world.
It’s our family’s business, so what you said is indeed good, so I’ll drink three glasses of wine to congratulate you.”
Li Bi also laughed, "I am the Lord of the Sixth Palace. I am supposed to be a mother to the world, so what I say is of course right. But husband, please hurry up, otherwise I won't call this palace worthy of its name."
Li Po said: "Don't rush me. If something goes wrong while I'm busy, I might be in trouble."
Li Bi snorted, "Dou Jiande, if people like Xiao Mian can make their husbands run away with their heads in their hands, then won't Li Yuan die in peace?"
Li Po drank a drink with his wife, "You can see clearly that they are indeed not as powerful as Li Yuan, but the two families can still struggle together. Don't worry, mother's love for the world will happen sooner or later."
The couple chatted while eating. They talked about family and country affairs. Even an ordinary couple was not as lively as they were.
After they were full of wine and food, Li Po finally asked: "What did Li Xiuning come to the palace for?"
Li Bi glanced at him with a half-smile, "The emperor is in control now, so why bother to ask me if you can just call someone to ask him personally?"
Li Po laughed: "That's true, I'll ask another day..."
Li Bi clenched her fists and waved her hand for the palace servants to clean up the mess. Seeing her looking like she was about to start a fight, Li Po couldn't help but flinch. After all, he had just eaten and didn't want to move.
"Okay, I'm not kidding you. Even if you don't tell me, I can guess that Li Xiuning's entry into the palace is just to imitate Empress Xiao and seek the name of a married woman. Could it be that she also wants to enter the palace and become a concubine?"
Seeing that one sentence made his wife want to make a move again, Li Po secretly laughed, you are a wife who wants to fight with me all day long. This also shows that you are not wise enough and you are very complacent. I really don’t know what to say to you.
"The princess of the former dynasty invited herself to the palace as a concubine, which is also a good story. I..." Li Bi said, her brows gradually raised, and she was obviously angry.
Generally speaking, Li Po has something to say waiting for her, and this time is no exception, "Don't get angry, I'm just making an analogy, you are also in power now, a few jokes can make you move Wuming,
How can this happen? There has to be some city, right?"
Li Bi waved her hand vigorously, and her large sleeves flew up. Li Po was so frightened that he quickly shrank his head and chest, preparing to catch the fists and kicks handed over by his mother-in-law.
The palace people were not as experienced as him, so they just hid in an invisible corner under the guidance of the female officer.
Li Bi was also amused by her husband's extremely alert look. Amidst the unscrupulous ridicule, Li Po sat up straight and resentfully. It was a conditioned reflex. It was really not a good sign.
Back then, the couple were still in their prime, and they fought back and forth for one or two rounds. Li Po relied on his strength, resistance to beatings and other innate advantages to gain the upper hand.
But as they get older, Li Bi's physical advantage becomes greater and greater. In close-to-hand combat, he can often win by relying on his long physical strength and quick reactions. As a result, Li Po is no longer willing to stretch his muscles with his wife.
.
Alas, I think everyone will understand the pain of middle-aged men sooner or later.
"Hmph, I keep my word in the harem, who dares to come and talk nonsense in front of me? Even Li Sanniang is very obedient when she sees me now, unlike you, you just say whatever I don't want to hear..."
After saying this, he twisted his body a few times, probably because he wanted to be coquettish or something, but he didn't do it, which made him feel a little awkward.
Li Po just said, "We have enough good words in our ears, don't we need to compliment each other any more? It would be nice to say something interesting and have fun... Look at what you raised in the palace,
The pearls are round and jade-like, and the white is rosy. I like it just by looking at it, so what else can I say?"
As she spoke, she moved closer and pulled her wife into her arms. Her hands began to become unreliable... Li Bi always welcomed her husband's intimacy because she was much more energetic than him.
So the dragon and the phoenix appeared. They used their skilled ground skills and fought back and forth for several times. At the end, Li Po was defeated again and lost his armor. However, he was not discouraged. He only rested for a while, mounted his horse and fought again...
After a long time, the palace officials appeared again to clean up the mess.
The couple changed into loose clothes and sat down together again in a dignified manner. They were tired, sleepy and lazy, but they were both in a happy mood.
So Li Po got down to business again, "The Li family in Longxi has a large number of people... Li Xiuning's great-grandfather, Li Hu, one of the eight pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty, had eight sons behind him, and his descendants became even more prosperous after that. This was just Li Hu's family.
.
In Li Xiuning's generation, the descendants of the Li family in Longxi have been countless. After entering Chang'an, I took a look at their genealogy and it was really dizzying. The Wang family is known as a thousand-year-old family, which is probably inferior to the root system.
The Li family in Longxi also had a branch called Li Mu. When they returned to the Sui Dynasty, it was said that there were more than a thousand of their children serving as officials. Thinking about that scene makes people shudder.
Later, another prince like Li Yuan appeared, and his power became even more powerful. The previous families of the Yuan family, the Gao family, the Chen family, and even the Yang family were incomparable to the Li family in Longxi.
Therefore, I have to suppress them. Otherwise, even if Li Yuan and his son are dead, they will not be able to damage the foundation of the Li family in Longxi. Sooner or later, they will be able to recover. With so many descendants and many in-laws, they will unite into a party, which will surely cause disaster in the long run.
."
You can talk to your wife about these words, and even your close confidants will not hear them. Otherwise, once a few words are spread, countless disasters will arise.
If we were to list the powerful families in the world, the Li family of Longxi would definitely be among the top five. Regardless of the number of descendants or their strength, they could be said to be one of the most powerful families in the world.
After these years of war, especially the war with Li Po and Xue Ju, the Li family in Longxi showed signs of decline. However, if we want to completely overthrow them, it can be said that no one has the strength, nor is it necessary.
What the emperor has to do is actually very simple, weaken them, restrict them, and wait until they naturally move towards internal strife and division, and the task is almost completed.
There is no need to do it too fiercely like Yang Guang. When you hurt others, you are also shaking your own foundation.
Li Bi nodded silently. This was undoubtedly a heavy topic, and it actually made her feel a little sleepy, which in disguise meant that she was not as interested in the affairs of the foreign court as before.
"It seems that there are more and more people named Li. Don't you and I also have the surname Li? If you put it like that... I just ignore Li Xiuning's request. I just don't know if you are willing to leave Li Sanniang alone."
Li Po smiled nonchalantly. Now that he had eaten and drank enough, his muscles and bones had been exercised, and he no longer had the motivation to make his wife angry.
"Is this a small matter, or is it because her clan members have lost their official positions one after another, and some people are afraid that they will add insult to injury, so they are asking for self-protection, otherwise they would not come to your door to ask for help."
Li Bi glanced at her husband sideways and said to her, "You know her very well. Since it's a trivial matter... I just let the wife go out. It looks very pitiful. My husband has an army in Shu and respects himself, so he doesn't care about it."
The clan members can't help her with her family's life and death. It's not easy for her to support such a big mansion alone...
But don’t regret it. Once the canonization is published, it will be very ugly if you want to change it again.”
This little threat couldn't scare Li Po, he thought to himself, he didn't know who would regret it in the end, but he already smiled and said: "Why change, who do you think I am? How could I do that?"
What about taking someone’s wife and daughter?”
Li Bi snorted twice, thinking that it was not possible when he was the king of Han, but it might not be possible when he became the emperor, especially since Li Sanniang and you have been flirting with each other for a long time.
Moreover, she has led troops to the battlefield. She is not a weak woman, but she is also the type that her husband likes. She is much more worrying than Empress Xiao.
As the two talked, sleepiness gradually came over them, and soon they both fell asleep...
