Mrs. Xue followed Cheng Yaojin and Li Lizhi into the palace.
Once you enter the palace, there are strict guards everywhere.
At the same time, the luxury in the palace is also extraordinary.
But compared to Shengtang Group, this kind of luxury is like that of a local tycoon, which makes people feel that it always lacks some modern atmosphere.
After seeing better things, her horizons have become higher, and she has become accustomed to the situation in the palace. In addition, she is also considered a lady, so she must have a good temperament.
Soon, the three of them entered the Li Zheng Hall.
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were chatting among them.
"Your Majesty, Queen, Mrs. Xue is here!"
Cheng Yaojin shouted as soon as he arrived.
Then, someone asked Mrs. Xue to come in.
Li Lizhi followed her.
Cheng Yaojin left. There was no point in him staying now.
As soon as Mrs. Xue entered the palace, she saw Li Shimin and Queen Changsun.
The two of them have a great temperament and give people a majestic feeling.
"A common woman pays homage to Your Majesty, Your Highness the Queen!"
Mrs. Xue bowed.
She was once a lady, and the etiquette she should have was not bad at all.
This made Li Shimin and Empress Changsun nod their heads.
Li Shimin, in particular, stared at her for a long time.
There is something special about this woman. Although her family is in decline, the traces of time on her face are not obvious.
Her appearance is no worse than some others.
"No gift!"
Li Shimin signaled.
Then he said: "Please sit down!"
Mrs. Xue was a little scared.
Then a eunuch brought a chair.
"Your Majesty, civilian women dare not sit down!"
Li Shimin hummed.
Li Lizhi helped him sit down.
“Mrs.
"so……"
Mrs. Xue then sat down.
And she seemed a little reserved.
Until Queen Changsun spoke.
"Mrs. Xue, your husband Xue Gui served as governor of Xiangcheng County in the Sui Dynasty. His father Xue Yan was the imperial uncle of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He can be regarded as an official for two generations. It is a pity that fate has caused your mother and son to live among the people. Your Majesty
It’s because I love you so much that I call you into the palace!”
Mrs. Xue was shocked.
It seems that Queen Changsun has also done her homework in advance.
He was able to name both his husband and father-in-law.
"Your Majesty the Queen, this may be God's will. Thank you for your Majesty's care, and let the women of the country feel grateful!"
She said it perfectly.
Li Shimin said at this time: "Two generations of the Xue family have been officials. Although they were officials in the previous dynasty, they were also highly used. I heard that your son Xue Rengui has superb martial arts. If he can contribute to the court, it will be the great fortune of the Tang Dynasty!"
Mrs. Xue finally understood why Li Min said those words. It turned out that he had expected it. It was just as he said.
Li Shimin clearly wants Xue Rengui to enter the palace to help him.
So what should we do now? How to refuse? Then she thought of a point.
"Your Majesty, there are four very important words in the Xue family's ancestral motto. We dare not violate it now!"
"Oh? What's the word for?"
"Gratitude!"
Mrs. Xue said this. Li Shimin's face instantly turned bad.
Because he guessed what Mrs. Xue was going to say.
At this time, Empress Changsun held Li Shimin and prevented him from getting up.
Instead, he signaled him not to be anxious.
Li Shimin took a deep breath.
Listen patiently.
"So, you mean not to let Xue Rengui become an official and contribute to the Tang Dynasty?"
"Your Majesty, whether it is the ancestral teachings or the principles of human conduct, only those who can repay their kindness can have a clear conscience. Otherwise, if you change places and cannot do your best, what's the use?"
As expected, she is still a lady, and her speech is impeccable.
Such an ordinary person would have been unable to control himself for a long time. How could he talk to Li Shimin so calmly?
The person sitting in front of her was the supreme ruler of the entire Tang Dynasty. If he was unhappy, her head would fall to the ground at any time.
But she is not afraid!
Li Shimin was a little angry.
Even a private woman dared to speak to him like this, which made him very embarrassed.
Li Lizhi also saw the clues.
He immediately said: "Xue Rengui is a kind and righteous person, and he is a rare person!"
Everything started due to Xue Rengui and because of Li Lizhi's intervention, otherwise it would not be like this.
But things have come to this, and we have to deal with them.
Li Shimin was silent.
Empress Changsun said at this time: "Mrs.
"Today, the Tang Dynasty enjoys long-term peace and stability, Zhenguan flourishes in the Tang Dynasty, and is full of talents! We will surely find a better existence!"
Mrs. Xue's implication is that with so many people, there is no need to go directly to her son, right?
She may be one of the few people who dares to refuse the emperor.
"Although there are many talented people in the Tang Dynasty, there are only a few talented people, let alone those who stand at the top of the military force! I heard that Xue Rengui can hold the Fangtian Painted Halberd with one hand, as if it were nothing. With such magical power, it should be
The only thing you can do is contribute to the Tang Dynasty!"
This couple is facing a Mrs. Xue.
Mrs. Xue almost couldn't resist.
In the end, Mrs. Xue lost.
But this defeat did not mean that Xue Rengui entered the palace.
Instead, all decision-making powers are delegated to the outside world.
As long as she doesn't agree now, everything is possible.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Queen, it is not the women who are trying to stop me, but Mr. Zili who is kind and benevolent. We have to ask Mr. Zili about all this. If he is willing, I will not say anything! He who can defend the country.
Nature is our glory!”
As soon as these words came out, the conflict was directly pushed to Li Min and let him make the decision.
Good guy!
At this time, Li Shimin was silent.
Queen Changsun was even more surprised.
Li Shimin said softly:
"Li Min must have told her about this, otherwise how could a folk woman deal with it so calmly? This kid!"
This volume did not allow Mrs. Xue to hear it.
It's because they underestimated this woman.
She just sat, very dignified.
Mrs. Xue answered fluently, and the two sides fought a battle of wits and courage. Although she lost, she did not let Li Shimin take any advantage.
Then Li Shimin still said with a sullen face: "Okay, I'm tired. Queen, you can entertain Mrs. Xue!"
Queen Changsun stood up immediately.
"Mrs. Xue, please, how about we go to the back garden?"
"yes!"
"Mother, my sons and ministers, please come together!"
The three of them left the palace and headed towards the back garden.
Then, Li Shimin summoned Cheng Yaojin into the palace.
said:
"Know your integrity! If Mrs. Xue still doesn't agree to let Xue Rengui enter the palace as an official after three days in the palace, you can go with her again and hear what that kid means! I don't believe it, and he stopped me!"
"yes!"
Cheng Yaojin retreated.
For the next three days, Mrs. Xue lived in the palace. She was treated favorably by Li Shimin, but she was in the Cao camp and her heart was in the Han Dynasty, so she had no intention of having fun.
Although Li Lizhi passed news back to Shengtang Group every day, Xue Rengui was very anxious. After all, his mother might be persecuted because he entered the palace.
