Chang'an, Taiji Palace, Zhiyan Pavilion.

Emperor Tang stood by the pool with his hands behind his hands, saying nothing.

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had always been diligent in his work since he came to power, and his court had never been interrupted in the morning. But today, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty took an unprecedented day off. At this moment, he was ecstatically watching the fish swimming around in the pond, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

Emperor Tang was weak, and the little eunuch on the side looked at Wan Sui standing motionless for about an hour. He couldn't help feeling a little anxious, but seeing his master's expression of joy and anger, he didn't dare to step forward rashly.

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the garden gate. The little eunuch turned his head and looked, and couldn't help but feel happy - he saw the anxious-looking Queen Wang and a group of palace maids, hurriedly walking towards the pavilion.

The queen walked up to Emperor Tang, felt blessed, and said: "Blessed is your Majesty, I wish you the best of luck, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Tang turned around from his thoughts. He turned to look at the queen and found that his married wife was looking at him with concern. Before Emperor Tang could speak, he heard the queen say again -

"Your Majesty has always given top priority to state affairs. When I heard that Your Majesty was off from court today, I was worried about him, so I came here to see you!"

There was a hint of anxiety and tenderness in the Queen's words. At this moment, she was no different from a virtuous wife in ordinary people's homes. She didn't look a bit arrogant in the past. Seeing that her husband still didn't say anything, the Queen quickly said: "Is the Holy Dragon's body in good condition? Sir,

I will call Miss Zichun to come here."

After saying that, she turned around and wanted to call the little eunuch.

Looking at the queen's concerned expression, Emperor Tang was in a trance, and his eyes unconsciously became gentle. But this gentleness was like running water running through the fingers, and disappeared in an instant.

Emperor Tang quickly regained his serious look and said in a deep voice: "Queen, there is no need to panic, I am in very good health."

The queen still wanted to say a few words of concern, but Emperor Tang turned his head and looked at the pool again, no longer looking at him. He just listened to him continue to say——

"It's been thirty years since I've been here this morning, and I'm... a little tired."

Hearing what Emperor Tang said, the queen was stunned for a moment, and then smiled - she was under forty, and she used pearl powder and jade powder to maintain her skin, so she looked no more than thirty years old. Although she was not wearing pink makeup today,

However, she was born with beauty, and after years of accumulation, a beauty of intellectual maturity suddenly bloomed, which made people's hearts flutter.

"If your Majesty is tired, he will call my concubine to accompany you and have a heart-to-heart talk. Why come here alone?"

The queen's voice was so pleasant that even the palace maid and eunuch beside her couldn't help but feel comfortable. But only in front of Emperor Tang could the queen be so gentle, which was in sharp contrast to her usual cold and frosty image.

Hearing this unfamiliar word, Emperor Tang was slightly startled——

Confidant words? I haven’t heard this word for a long time. You are a majestic king of a country, but why do you think this word is so extravagant?

Emperor Tang's thoughts flashed back to the time when he and his wife were rubbing elbows with each other shortly after he succeeded to the throne and shortly after their wedding. At that time, his throne was unstable and he was surrounded by crises. He spent many days and nights talking to his wife all night long, talking about everything...

I seem to really miss that feeling! Haha... To this day, in the huge Tai Chi Palace, is there anyone who can talk to me intimately?

Thinking of this, Emperor Tang couldn't help laughing at himself.

"There is no speech in the Pavilion of Knowledge..."

Emperor Tang said to himself, his voice was not loud, a little bleak, but extremely firm.

The Queen was aware of everything and heard these seven words clearly. She looked slightly startled, but immediately smiled and said: "Why did the Holy One say this? I will always be the Holy One's intimate person, and will always be the Holy One's Xiaolan!"

Xiaolan is the maiden name of Empress Wang, and it was also the nickname that Emperor Tang used to call her. However, I don’t know when, this name was never called by Emperor Tang again.

Emperor Tang turned to look at the queen, looking at her innocent smile, his vision became blurry again - the figure of the young, ignorant, innocent girl overlapped with the person in front of him, and for a moment he couldn't tell who was who...

...

Emperor Tang snorted in his heart, not knowing who he was laughing at. He looked at Queen Wang calmly and asked, "Does the Queen know what day it is today?"

Emperor Tang's tone was calm, neither urgent nor slow, with no emotion audible, but with a hint of majesty.

The queen pretended to think and said, "I'm sorry, I'm stupid, I don't know what day it is."

Emperor Tang looked at the queen's blank look with a blank expression, feeling a burst of contempt in his heart for no reason. However, he didn't seem to bother to expose the queen, and still patiently explained to her: "Today is the day for the poor family to accept apprentices.

Accepting disciples from a poor family is a major event in the Central Plains, and today is a day that attracts much attention to the Hanzi in the Central Plains."

"Oh? I remembered it when Your Majesty said this. I have never asked about political affairs, but I heard Yanqing mention it a few days ago. This year's cold examination, the imperial court has selected many talents. I would like to express my gratitude to you first.

Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

After saying this, the queen bowed again.

"Yes, there are many pillars of talent... I only hope that these people are the pillars of our Datang and can be used by our Datang."

Seeing that there was something in the Emperor Tang's words, the Queen changed her mind and said: "The talents in the imperial court are naturally the talents of the Tang Dynasty, and they are naturally the talents of the Holy Emperor."

Hearing that the queen said nothing but nice things, Emperor Tang instantly lost his patience. He turned around and looked at the queen with a calm face, and said: "Queen, today I am a disciple of a poor family. Under my entrustment, sir, I have already

A young man was admitted as a disciple."

Emperor Tang suddenly informed him of such an important matter, and the queen suddenly became nervous, because she knew that this was by no means a simple 'information'! But although the queen was nervous, she was also a person who had experienced storms after all, and she strengthened herself

Calming his mind, he pretended to be curious and asked: "I wonder which young man is blessed by this heaven?"

"You know that young man's mother, she is the son of that Hu girl." The Emperor of Tang Dynasty did not want to make excuses with the queen, so he went straight to the point. Then he looked at the shocked and frightened queen, leaned down slightly, and asked playfully: "

What does the Queen think of my decision?"

‘That Hu girl back then’! As soon as the Queen heard these words, she suddenly broke into a cold sweat——

How could today's conversation be explained to her? Rather than an explanation, it was more of a showdown, a warning, and a shock! These words did not leave any face to her, the majestic mother of a country, any remaining trace of her.

The love between husband and wife has also disappeared. Did the emperor know about Yongcheng? Did the conspiracy between himself and his brother leak out? Did someone discover the whereabouts of his nephew? Could it be...

The queen was thinking a lot at this time, but she still didn't dare to show any signs of it and suppressed the fear and humiliation in her heart.

"The Emperor is determined by Heaven to make such a decision for the sake of the country and the country of the Tang Dynasty!"

The queen was still smiling, but her voice sounded a little unnatural at the moment.

Emperor Tang looked at the woman in front of him with disgust, then straightened up and prepared to leave. At the same time, he coldly dropped a sentence——

"I'm going to approve the memorial. Queen, if you have nothing to do, please leave. If you have time, the Queen should also go back to the palace to see you. Mr. Wang is already old. As the eldest daughter in the family, you should fulfill your filial piety."

After that, Emperor Tang walked away without looking back.

The little eunuch took advantage of Emperor Tang not paying attention and secretly kowtowed to the queen, and then hurriedly followed her.

The queen stood alone in the pavilion, feeling embarrassed and lonely. Looking at the back of Emperor Tang as he walked away, the queen's eyes gradually turned cold. She straightened up slowly, and the solemn majesty of her mother's respect for the world returned to her instantly.

Not only that, she also exuded a sense of chill and hatred!

"Go back to the palace!"

The queen said coldly, and then she walked gracefully and slowly towards the Li Zheng Palace.
