Zhou Wu looked at Li Mu calmly and asked, "Has it been a long time since I taught you how to practice?"
Li Mu knew what she meant by "cultivation" and immediately said: "You asked me to speak frankly. If you blame me again now, I won't say anything in the future..."
Zhou Wu glanced at him, then finally looked away and said, "I am the emperor."
Li Mu Dao: "The emperor also has the right to pursue love."
Although she has been married once, who stipulates that the queen cannot remarry?
In another world, that woman married her father first, then her son, and had countless faces. Compared with her, the queen was like a pure white flower. So what happened to the queen?
Li Mu said seriously: "Your Majesty is a shame to the Xiao family. How could they tolerate the throne being taken away by a woman with a foreign surname? If the Xiao family comes to power in the future, your Majesty will definitely not leave anything good in the history books, and for
For the descendants of the Zhou family, your majesty is just their sister, how can your majesty’s own children be the relatives?”
In fact, Li Mu still has a little selfishness here.
History is written by the victors. It is foreseeable that whether the throne is passed to the Zhou family or the Xiao family, the queen will most likely not leave anything good in the history books revised by future generations.
So, as the only favorite in the Queen's era, how will the history books evaluate Li Mu?
Bewitching the Holy Heart, being a traitor, favoring ministers and disrupting the government, and some unruly history may even discredit the relationship between him and the Queen. Li Mu does not intend to give them such an opportunity.
He looked at the Queen and continued: "Besides, the Zhou family and the Xiao family, in order to fight for the throne, formed a clique for personal gain, regardless of the consequences. We have finally made up for the mistakes made by the late emperor. If Your Majesty passes the throne to them, wouldn't it be another mistake?
We want Dazhou to make the same mistakes again..."
Zhou Wu was silent for a while, then stood up and said, "I'm going to sleep."
Li Mu said: "Good night, Your Majesty."
After Zhou Wu left, Li Mu sat on the roof and looked at the moon for a while before returning to his room.
Wanwan and Xiaobai haven't slept yet. They are giggling in bed and don't know what they are laughing at.
Li Mu walked to the bed and asked, "Why haven't you fallen asleep yet?"
Xiaobai said: "We are waiting for our benefactor to come back."
After that, she and Wanwan moved outwards and moved inwards, leaving the middle space for Li Mu.
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "You guys go to sleep, I'll sleep on the floor."
Xiaobai held Li Mu's hand and said, "Then let's sleep on the ground too."
Wanwan also got up from the bed and said: "Young Master sleeps on the floor and we sleep on the bed. If the lady finds out, she will say that we don't understand the rules..."
Li Mu didn't know how the Queen slept tonight, but he slept soundly.
On her left was Wanwan, and on her right was Xiaobai. The quilt was soft and fragrant, but when she woke up in the morning, her arms were a little numb.
The Queen had already asked the imperial kitchen to prepare pastries. Wanwan was shocked by the variety of breakfasts. She had never thought that someone could have such a rich breakfast. In the past, she could only eat two buns and one egg in the morning.
I already felt very happy. Before I finished my breakfast, I asked Li Mu insinuatingly where they would sleep tonight...
After breakfast, Li Mu didn't let them go back.
Anyway, it was just the two of them at home. Changle Palace was bigger than Li Mansion, so they wouldn't feel bored here. With Shangguan Li and Master Mei accompanying them, Li Mu felt that they were already a little homesick.
He went to Zhongshu Province, and when he passed by Zongzheng Temple, Zhang Chun walked out of it and asked in surprise: "Where did you go last night?"
Naturally, Li Mu couldn't tell him that he stayed at Changle Palace last night and said, "I'm at home..."
Zhang Cundao: "I went to your house to look for you yesterday, but you were not there."
Li Mudao: "I went back very late yesterday, and I was almost pregnant..."
Then he asked: "What do you want from me?"
Zhang Chun shook his head and said, "I originally wanted to have a drink with you, but now I'm fine."
Zhang Chun also did not tell Li Mu that he was kicked out of his home by his wife last night. He originally wanted to stay with Li Mu for one night, but he waited at the door of Li Mu's house for his son to come back.
Obviously, he lied.
Li Mu said: "If nothing happens, I will go back to Zhongshu Province."
Zhang Chun waved his hand and said, "Let's go."
Looking at Li Mu's leaving figure, I was thinking about something in my mind.
He just saw yesterday that Liu Hanyan and Li Qing left Shendu, which was why he chose Li Mansion to stay overnight. But the night his wife left, Li Mu stayed up all night. What on earth did he do?
Could it be that he had a private meeting with another woman?
No, no, no, based on his understanding, Li Mu could not be such a person.
At a certain moment, a bright light suddenly flashed in Zhang Chun's mind.
Zongzheng Temple is located behind Zhongshu Province. If Li Mu came from the palace gate, it would be impossible for him to pass by here.
Unless he's coming from the other direction...
Zhang Chun looked in the direction where Li Mu came. Walking straight from here is Changle Palace.
Changle Palace is His Majesty’s bedroom.
A look of surprise appeared on his face, and he said in shock: "So fast..."
King Shou walked over from the direction of the palace gate and said: "Old Zhang, why are you here so early today? Let's go and play with me..."
Zhang Chun followed King Shou into Zongzheng Temple and asked casually: "Your Highness, wasn't Prince Nanyang beheaded? What happened to his mansion?"
King Shou said: "I have been temporarily sealed by the imperial court. In the future, I may be rewarded to officials who have made significant contributions to the imperial court. What, why do you ask this?"
Zhang Chun smiled and said: "It's okay, I'll just ask, ask..."
…
After returning to Zhongshu Province, Li Mu did not delay and took the time to draft new regulations for the Enshrinement Department.
After finishing his own business in the morning, he still had to show the Queen the brochure in the afternoon.
Now she doesn't worry about court affairs at all. Small things are left to Li Mu, and big things are discussed together. If they agree, listen to her, if they disagree, listen to Li Mu. When Li Mu handles the disputes, she is by the side.
Paddling to relax, she even wanted Li Muduo to write a few books for her to read.
I have to say that she already looks a bit like a fool.
And Li Mu himself was really about to become a favored minister of the dictatorship.
After initially drafting the new regulations for the Enshrinement Department, a familiar figure walked into Li Mu's check-in room.
Mrs. Mei looked a little tired. Li Mu poured her a cup of tea and asked, "Why, didn't you sleep well yesterday?"
Master Mei sat in Li Mu's seat, leaned on the chair, rubbed the center of his eyebrows, and said: "I was dealing with the inner guard affairs very late yesterday..."
Li Mu stood opposite her and said: "Just leave the less important things to your subordinates. Look at Your Majesty, she should be busier than you, but look at her, she is very busy every day, which is not a reward."
Hua is just reading, and I haven’t touched a book in a long time..."
Lord Mei glanced at him and asked: "Your Majesty has only let you read the book for a few days, and you are not willing?"
Li Mu said: "It's not that I don't want to. Anyway, I will do more, and Your Majesty will do less. As long as she is happy, she will not be bothered by the discounts again, which will give her inner demons an opportunity. I suspect her inner demon is to read the discounts every day.
It’s annoying…”
Lord Mei did not continue the topic and asked: "Did you say something again to make His Majesty unhappy?"
Li Mu said calmly: "I just told a few truths."
Although the Queen's status is high, when looking at the court, there are only three people who can be considered her own.
Shangguan Li, Lord Mei, and Li Mu.
The two of them obeyed the Queen's words. Only Li Mu could tell these truths that would make the Queen uncomfortable.
Master Mei asked: "What did you say?"
Li Mu honestly told her the conversation last night.
Lord Mei glanced at him and asked, "Do you think that because His Majesty loves you so much, you can say anything?"
Li Mudao: "I also think about her."
Lord Mei thought for a while and said: "You are thinking simply. Your Majesty is the former Crown Princess and the former Queen. If she really does that, what will the people in the world think? All the courtiers in the palace and the four major academies will stop her.
…”
Li Mu originally wanted to tell Master Mei that as long as he has absolute strength, he can do anything.
It is impossible to have seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courtyards, because polygamy is not recognized by mainstream concepts and can easily attract criticism. However, having only one queen makes sense in every aspect.
As long as the queen's strength can suppress all resistance forces, the first male queen with a mother-in-law in the world will appear in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
But after Li Mu thought about it carefully, he felt a little uncomfortable.
After all, who doesn't want to be the only one to receive the favor of God? With the Queen, the Queen may not be as good to him as he is now.
It's not possible, it's certain.
When Liu Hanyan and Li Qing are away, he can spend the whole day in Changle Palace. When they come back, he can only spend two hours in Changle Palace every day. The reason is the same as this.
Li Mu had to admit that he was also a selfish person and was unwilling to share his grace with others, even if that person was the queen.
So he didn't say anything more, but looked at Master Mei and said, "It's better not to worry about Your Majesty. You should worry more about yourself. If you don't look for it, it will be too late. Do you want me to introduce you to you..."
Master Mei looked at Li Mu without any trouble.
Li Mu was dumbfounded by her gaze, and then he realized something and immediately said: "Don't make any plans for me, I have a family, and you are almost old enough to be my mother, we are not suitable..."
"
In panic, Li Mu spoke out what was in his heart. Fortunately, Mrs. Mei was tolerant and not angry. He drank a cup of tea and left.
Wanwan and Xiaobai were both at Changle Palace, and Li Mu had to eat lunch at Changle Palace.
In the afternoon, he stayed in Changle Palace to help the Queen deal with the problems and did not return to Zhongshu Province.
He walked out of Zhongshu Province and saw Master Mei standing not far ahead.
She looked at Li Mu with an extremely unkind look, holding a stick in her hand.
