It was almost noon when Li Mu got up. After washing up, the maids served her to eat. Li Zhien held her bowl, which was bigger than her face. While eating, she looked at Li Mu with a faint resentment, as if Li Mu had done something.
It seemed like something heinous. Li Mu was thick-skinned and could handle it, but Bai Qiaoqiao couldn't handle it anymore and asked: "Zhien, when is your birthday?"
"May sixteenth."
"Oh." After hearing this, Bai Qiaoqiao bumped Li Mu's waist with her elbow and winked at him. Li Mu said vaguely, and Bai Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "When your birthday is next year,
I'll make the decision for you."
"Thank you, madam." After receiving this promise, Li Zhien became happy. In fact, she didn't know why, Li Mu insisted on waiting for her to have hairpins. In Goguryeo, many people got married at the age of ten. Now the empress of the Tang Dynasty is also ten years old.
Married to the current Holy Emperor at the age of three? What's wrong with that?
Besides...
Li Zhien's face suddenly turned red. She remembered the tricks she had learned. She only used a little bit to make Li Mu fascinated. If it was true, Li Zhien was very confident that she could capture Li Mu's heart.
When it comes to protection, this is the real protection. If it doesn't come true, your heart will always be hanging in the air.
The more Li Zhien thought about it, the more ashamed he became. Without raising his head, he buried himself in the big bowl and started eating.
Maybe it’s because she’s getting older. Li Zhien’s appetite has been getting bigger and bigger recently. Li Mu thinks her appetite is big enough, but sometimes she is outdone by Li Zhien, and she also eats so many snacks every day.
Woolen cloth.
Seeing that she is not fat, I really don’t know where all the food went. The way Li Zhien eats is also very strange. She has a big bowl, which is the kind used by barbarians that she bought in the West Market.
The soup cake bowl can hold two normal bowls of rice in one bowl. She fills the bowl every time, picks up all her favorite vegetables, spreads them on the rice, and then eats them.
When the time comes, she won't pick up the food, as if she's afraid someone will snatch it from her.
Li Mu told her several times, but he just couldn't change it. Li Mu didn't bother to say anything anymore, he just thought it was strange. It's just that Li Mu was lazy and never asked. It's not like the family couldn't afford it, so he didn't care how he wanted to eat.
It’s not a burden to eat whatever you want.
While they were eating, Li Siwen came with Nazha. Li Mu asked the maid to buy two more sets of bowls and chopsticks, and they sat down to eat together. In fact, they had already eaten on the way here, and they didn't even eat much after taking the bowls and chopsticks.
Mouth, just follow the words.
"Brother, is there something exciting tonight?" Li Siwen glanced at Li Mu with a 'you know' look. Li Mu deliberately pretended not to hear and continued to pick up vegetables to eat. Li Siwen was a little anxious and said: "Brother
, don’t pretend not to hear, isn’t the Heaven and Earth opening tonight, why don’t you take me to join in the fun?”
"Why don't you just go with your adoptive father? For such a big occasion, your adoptive father must be among the invitees."
"I know..." Li Siwen grabbed Li Mu's arm and shook it, begging: "Isn't there Nazha? She came to Chang'an with me alone. How could I only care about my own happiness and leave her alone?
Yes? Besides, the opening of Heaven and Earth is such a bustle. If you missed this time, I wonder if there will be a next time? Nazha has never seen such a scene, I have to let her experience it. You also know, Nazha
My father can't see the light of things, so I have no choice but to come here to beg you. You are my brother, so just say you don't care about my affairs."
"Haha..." Li Mu also finished eating. He hit Li Siwen on the head with his chopsticks and said, "As long as you call me 'brother', nothing good will happen. I can bring you in, but if you give it to your adoptive father,
If you catch me, have you thought about the consequences?"
"Oh, you're here! You can say that Nazha is the dancer you invited!" Li Siwen said, recommending highly: "Brother, I'm not bragging. Your brother has seen the world.
, are there any restaurants in Chang'an that your brother and I haven't been to? I've been to Yanlai Restaurant and Chunqiu Pavilion. What kind of dancers do they have? What kind of thing do they dance like? Nazha
Her dance is amazing, have you ever seen the Hu Xuan dance? Nazha’s Hu Xuan dance is the best I have ever danced! Otherwise, you can arrange for her to perform the dance."
"Dancing?"
Li Mu glanced at Nazha. When Nazha saw him looking over, she smiled shyly. As if she didn't understand anything, Li Mu glanced at Li Siwen again, feeling vaguely strange in his heart. He had clearly warned him.
Li Siwen, but Li Siwen still tried his best to encourage Nazha to appear in public, as if he was helping her.
And Li Mu began to doubt the relationship between Li Siwen and Nazha. If Nazha was really Li Siwen's woman, he wouldn't want to ask Nazha to dance. At least Li Mu felt that if someone wanted Li Zhien to dance, he would definitely
I don't agree. Even if Li Siwen is a bit dandy, Li Mu knows his nature, and he is definitely not the kind of person who gives concubines to each other. There must be something fishy about his behavior.
Since Li Siwen did this, I'm afraid he won't be able to get anything out of me if I ask him again. Li Mu said calmly, "Okay, then let's arrange for Nazha to perform the dance."
"Really?" Li Siwen was very happy and said, "I knew you were helping me."
Li Mu didn't look at him, but paid attention to Nazha's expression. Sure enough, when Li Mu said the words just now, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.
Li Siwen told Nazha what Li Mu meant in nonsense, and Nazha hurriedly stood up and saluted Li Mu. Li Mu asked Li Siwen to help her up, but she felt worried in her heart. Today is the opening of Heaven and Earth, and everyone present is either rich or noble.
Ruonaza hid a knife in her sleeve during her dance performance, so any injury would not be a big deal.
By then, not only Nazha's life will be in danger, but even Li Siwen, a bastard, will not be able to escape the involvement. If Nazha's target is Li Shimin... the entire Cao Guogong Palace will probably be implicated.
If it had been another person, Li Mu would have gone to report it by now. But Li Siwen... Li Mu didn't think he would do anything treacherous.
Assuming that Nazha is an assassin, the targets she wants to assassinate will definitely not be Li Ji and Li Shimin. Li Yuan is even less likely. He has not been in charge of politics for many years. Li Jing? It is also unlikely. He was in Dingxiang before.
At that time, Li Siwen had greatly praised Li Jing.
After eliminating one possible target after another, Li Mu only had one candidate left in his mind, and it should be...him.
At about the same time, Da'an Palace.
Li Shimin had just finished the court meeting and received the news on his way back to Taiji Hall, so he hurried over. He saw boxes and packages all over the floor, and a group of palace people were packing and counting their belongings. It looked like the entire Da'an Palace had been ransacked.
, and suddenly my head hurt.
"Everyone stop it!"
Li Shimin shouted loudly, and the palace people heard it and stopped one after another.
"Who dares to stop?" Li Yuan walked out of the inner hall, saw Li Shimin, and asked: "You have come to Da'an Palace to take care of everything? Why, you want to imprison me?"
"What did your father say? How dare you imprison your father? It's just..." Li Shimin pointed to the boxes and baggage on the floor, sighed, and said: "What are you doing? It seems like it was confiscated.
Father, didn't we agree a few days ago that you can live outside the palace, but only for a short time, mainly in the palace, but now you are like this...why do you look like you don't want to go back to the palace?"
"You are smart for once!" Li Yuan sat on a box, looked at Li Shimin, and said: "Now I will make it clear to you. If I move today, it will be a complete move, unless I lose everything in the transaction.
, otherwise I will definitely not come back to this palace. What did Wei Zheng say? There are no two days in the sky. I will make room for you. The palace is all yours. You will be the sun, and I will be the moon."
"Father!"
Li Yuan was sitting on the box talking, and Li Shimin couldn't let him raise his head. It was disrespectful. So he had to squat down and look up at Li Yuan. The posture was really inelegant, inelegant and uncomfortable, but there was something like this on the stall.
Living father, it’s even more uncomfortable... Li Shimin almost begged: "Father, that guy Wei Zheng... that guy is just a person who sells his reputation and sells his integrity. Can't you see what he is thinking? If you really moved outside the palace
, doesn’t it follow his wishes? If you are angry, I will take care of him for you. But moving outside the palace... This is not appropriate. If the general is spread out, people in the world will say that I can’t tolerate my father."
"Huh!" Li Yuan turned his head to one side and said, "You only care about your reputation, don't you care about my happiness? I have now passed this world to you, and I have nothing to do in this palace. If this continues, it won't take long.
I'll be suffocated to death. If you think I have a long life, go get the Hedinghong and I'll take a sip and die."
"Father, can you please stop talking to me like this? What exactly did I do wrong? Why can't we discuss it if we have something to do?"
"What are you talking about!" Li Yuan suddenly became angry, spitting spittle into Li Shimin's face, and cursed: "You claim to be filial, but where are you from being filial? Be filial and filial, you have to obey! You won't let me do anything I want to do.
What's the difference between your prisoners? Li Shimin, if you really want to imprison me, just say so and don't make excuses. If you don't mean that, then don't worry about what I do!"
"My son, I am worried about your safety..."
"Can't you just send a few more people?"
"But……"
"It's nothing! From now on, there will be no Li Yuan in the world, only Duke Jiacheng of the Li family in Longxi. If you care about me and come to support me more, I will give you a 20% discount."
Li Shimin was a little confused and said: "Father, what does the 20% discount mean?"
Li Yuan was happy when he mentioned this matter. He raised his hand to call Mr. Chen and took a gold card from his hand. This was a real 'gold card', with embossed cloud patterns on it and four big characters on the front.
Heaven and Earth', and on the back there are also four big words 'VIP's 20% off'.
Li Yuan put this gold card into Li Shimin's hand and said: "You and I, father and son, will give you some discounts at least. Take this and pay ten coins for eight coins. Now you understand the meaning of 20% off?"
