These words touched Li Shimin's heart, and he gritted his teeth: "Damnable family members, sooner or later I will make them look good!"
"Uh..." Li Mu licked his lips, suppressing laughter, and said leisurely: "Your Majesty, if you are determined to rectify the family, I have a little immature suggestion."
Li Shimin had recognized Li Mu for a long time. When he heard him talking like this, he instinctively felt that something was going on. He glanced at him suspiciously and said, "Are you holding back bad ideas again?"
"How dare you!" Li Mu quickly denied it, and sent another flattery, saying: "Your Majesty is wise and mighty, and is far ahead of the ancients. How can your Majesty's little deeds be hidden from His Majesty's eyes?"
Li Shimin smiled and said: "You brat, you are becoming more and more like a sycophant, and you are even flattering me. Save yourself some troubles. If others brag about me, I might still believe it. There is not a single word in your mouth."
To be honest, I don’t believe it. Let me hear your suggestion.”
Seeing that Li Shimin was moved, Li Mu immediately became energetic and said: "Your Majesty, I have spoken up front. This idea I made is entirely for your Majesty's consideration. This time, I must not tell you about it. I have said it before."
I'm not afraid of petty quarrels, but this time, if the foundation of the clan is disturbed, I might have to risk my life."
Li Shimin's old face turned red and said: "I have already said it and I have reflected on it. Don't worry, I will never tell you anything again."
"This is my idea..."
Li Mu whispered in Li Shimin's ear. The more Li Shimin listened, the more frightened he became. After hearing this, he took a deep breath and looked at Li Mu in shock, saying: "Isn't this a bit too cruel? If he is found out,
They will rebel!"
"Oh, Your Majesty!" Li Mu said anxiously: "Think about it, by the time they find out, will they still have the capital to rebel?"
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, nodded as if he had a sudden realization, and then burst into laughter.
Li Mu also laughed, and the two of them laughed like two idiots, attracting frequent glances from passers-by. Empress Changsun looked back and saw that Wang Ou also looked at her with affectionate eyes, and she couldn't help but feel a little bit in her heart.
Chiwei. Does this woman still have thoughts about His Majesty?
But after careful analysis, Empress Changsun discovered that the focus of Wang Ou's eyes was not on Li Shimin, but on Li Mu. What a smart person she was, and she was also a woman. Her terrible intuition immediately made her understand.
What.
Queen Changsun was shocked by her own thoughts!
Wang Ou and Li Mu? How is this possible?! The two are fifteen years apart. When Wang Ou got married, Li Mu was just born!
But Wang Ou's gaze cannot be deceived. This is not the gaze of an elder looking at a younger generation, but the gaze of a wife looking at her husband, with a kind of docility and admiration from the heart.
Queen Changsun's eyes wandered, and she suddenly asked abruptly: "Sister Ou, what do you think of Li Mu?"
Wang Ou didn't realize that Empress Changsun had noticed the clues. She reluctantly looked back and said with a smile: "This kid Li Mu, with his literary talent and ability, is the best choice. As long as he wants to do something, there is no one who can't do it well."
Let's talk about calligraphy. He only visited Mr. Ouyang once and he mastered the essence of regular script. The words he wrote were as powerful as those who have been immersed in calligraphy for decades. There are also his poems.
, from my point of view, there should be no one better than us in the Tang Dynasty. The queen may not know it yet, but just now Li Mu has a new work, which is a new song composed by Yang Di Shui. I will read it to you.
read……"
As expected, I am deeply involved!
Seeing Wang Ou praising Li Mu endlessly when he mentioned it, and the more he spoke, his eyes became brighter, as if he wanted to let everyone in the world know how good this person is, Queen Changsun knew it in her heart. There was also a lot of emotion in her heart, thinking back to those days,
Wang Ou is the most prestigious and talented woman among her peers. Many young heroes with five surnames and seven hopes are fascinated by her style. After learning that she married the sick son of Cui family in Qinghe, many young people were heartbroken. Such a person
A person who looks like a god actually likes a child who is fifteen years younger than himself. It is really difficult to understand the feelings in this world.
Empress Changsun is an open-minded person. She does not think this relationship is shameful, but is full of blessings. She knows how difficult it is for a woman to be a widow for seventeen years. If Wang Ou can find a good home, she will be happy in her heart, but she is not
I thought this person would be Li Mu.
If it were someone else, it would be easy to handle. But it would be difficult for Li Mu. No one knows better than Empress Changsun what Li Shimin thinks of Wang Ou in his heart. It is a first love that contains guilt and regret. That is why
Because of his complicated emotions, Li Shimin has maintained restraint so far and has not used his supreme power to force Wang Ou.
But if Wang Ou ends up following Li Mu, Li Shimin will immediately feel humiliated! He will absolutely not be able to bear it. The person he has always admired and worshiped as a goddess finally did not choose him, but chose his nephew. At that time, the relationship between the monarch and his ministers
Relationships will definitely fall apart.
Li Mu is an extraordinary person, and Li Mu's talent is something that Empress Changsun has seen all her life. Many times, Empress Changsun even couldn't help but think deeply. If Li Mu had been born twenty years earlier, in that era when all the heroes came together, he would have definitely accomplished something. On him.
There are really too many miracles that happened, and he not only dared to do many things that were unthinkable, but he was also able to accomplish them.
A rootless young man came to Chang'an for ten months and achieved a status equal to that of Cong Long. He started from scratch and made nearly a million yuan. This is something that has never happened before in the history books!
Empress Changsun felt that it was not worthwhile to alienate such a great talent because of a woman, but emotional matters were the last things that could not be judged rationally. When that time came, she had no confidence that Li Shimin could control himself.
Moreover, even if Li Shimin restrains himself, what will Li Mu think? Will he still be as loyal as he is now?
I'm afraid it's unknown.
Thinking of this, Queen Changsun sighed.
Wang Ou was still praising Li Mu when he suddenly heard a sigh. He thought it was Empress Changsun who was dissatisfied with Li Mu and couldn't help but look at her, showing a slight displeasure.
Queen Changsun came to her senses. Seeing Wang Ou like this, she smiled and said: "Sister Ou is right, Li Mu is indeed a great talent. I was just thinking that my son is not as good as Li Mu, so I sighed."
After hearing Empress Changsun's explanation, Wang Ou relaxed his brows and said: "The prince is young after all. Those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black. Didn't your majesty have asked Li Mu to teach the prince? I believe that under Li Mu's teaching, the prince will
There will definitely be progress.”
Empress Changsun nodded in agreement, thus putting the matter aside.
At this time, Li Shimin and Li Mu also came over, and Queen Changsun asked: "What are you two talking about and standing there for so long?"
"We talked about some matters in the court." It was a matter of sectarian affairs. How could Li Shimin talk casually in front of Wang Ou? He changed the subject and said: "Pingkangfang has come to an end. Queen, it's almost time to go to the father."
Sit down for a while, we are almost back to the palace. We will have fun with the people at Chengtianmen tomorrow, so we have to go back and make some preparations."
Li Mu didn't know about this yet, so he asked: "Your Majesty, are there any activities at Chengtianmen tomorrow?"
Li Shimin frowned and said, "You don't know this? Every year during the Lantern Festival, the queen and I meet with the people at Chengtian Gate and play three lantern riddles. The first one to guess the right answer will be rewarded."
"Ah, lantern riddles!" Li Mu finally remembered this traditional custom and was very excited. Seeing his appearance, Li Shimin immediately said: "The reward is not much, you are not allowed to guess!"
Li Mu immediately cried out: "Your Majesty is being unreasonable again!"
"I'm not being unreasonable with you! I am having fun with the people, why are you getting involved? If you want to guess lantern riddles, you can play by yourself!" After saying that, Li Shimin glanced at Wang Ou, gave an affectionate look, and took the queen with him.
After getting on the carriage, Eunuch Gao sat on the shaft, took out a brocade box from his sleeve, handed it to Li Zhien, and said with a hint of pain: "Congratulations to the Second Madam, our family will be accompanying His Majesty tomorrow, so I'm afraid we won't be able to come and have a drink."
Wedding wine and congratulatory gifts should be sent first!"
Li Mu took the brocade box from Li Zhien's hand, opened it, closed it with a smile, and said: "How can this be so embarrassing? Eunuch Gao, we are friends, and we are in a relationship based on friendship. You are insulting us with such vulgar things.
Friendship, I’m going to be angry!”
"Ouch," Eunuch Gao sighed and said, "Master Hou, please stop joking. Our family has never had such heavy bleeding in our lives. Now we are still very distressed. Please don't say anything."
Li Shimin couldn't listen anymore, so he also opened the curtain and said: "Li Mu, please stop it! It's not easy to be a high-ranking official, and you don't want him to pay this little money. What are you doing!"
Li Mu chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, aren't you thinking that it's useless for Eunuch Gao to keep the money? He...you know,"
"This is getting more and more outrageous!" Li Shimin put down the curtain and said, "Commander, let's go. Don't bother with this unreasonable person."
Eunuch Gao flicked his whip and the carriage left the square gate. Li Mu returned the brocade box to Li Zhien. Bai Qiaoqiao took a look at the contents in the box and saw that it was a set of exquisite jewelry. A gold hairpin, two pairs of earrings, and one
The secondary bracelet and a gold chain are all inlaid with precious stones, and it can be seen that they are the work of a master craftsman in the palace.
After Li Mu made money, Bai Qiaoqiao also bought some jewelry in Dongshi, and she knew the approximate price. This set of jewelry cost at least a thousand guan. Eunuch Gao was not lying when he said it was bloody.
Li Mu went back and forth to give him money, which was almost the same amount. He took it back this time, and maybe even made some friends, which must have hurt his body. Li Mu saw Bai Qiaoqiao's eyes and said, "Madam, do you like it?"
If you like it, I’ll catch up and ask him for another set!”
Bai Qiaoqiao quickly shook her head and said: "Husband, please stop fooling around. It's not like we don't have money. If I like it, I can just take the gold and find a craftsman to make it. Don't embarrass Eunuch Gao, he is very good to our family."
"You are just too kind-hearted."
Li Mu stretched out his waist, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and said, "It's getting late, let's go back to bed, I have to get up early tomorrow!"
Bai Qiaoqiao asked curiously: "Why are you getting up so early? Aren't you going to get married to Zhien tomorrow?"
