Are they all here? Li Xian had very good eyesight. When he entered the palace, he only glanced at it and took in all the scenes in the palace. He couldn't help but was slightly stunned, because there were not only Gaozong but also Empress Wu in the palace.
Now, even the mother and daughter, Mrs. Wu Shun of South Korea and Mrs. He Lan Minyue of Wei State, were also present. This obviously did not conform to the etiquette of an reception. Moreover, the atmosphere in the palace seemed quite strange, with a faint air of embarrassment permeating the air.
This smell is wrong, what's going on? Li Xiansheng is sensitive, and he sensed the strange atmosphere in the palace for a moment. When he thought about the location of the Renxin Palace, he immediately woke up and realized that this place is high.
As for the place where Zong was stealing fish, as for the weirdness, it was most likely that Gao Zong was caught by Empress Wu when he was getting carried away with himself. With a guilty conscience, Empress Wu was probably the only one who could make the decision on everything, so this scene
The reception was only in a ghostly place like Renxin Hall. The question is why Empress Wu acted like this. I'm afraid there's something fishy going on here!
"My sons and ministers have met my father, the emperor, and my mother, the queen."
Li Xian obviously did not have as sharp a mind as Li Xian, and he never felt that something was wrong with the situation in the palace. He strode into the palace with his head held high, and went straight to the main seat. Seeing this, Li Xian had to restrain his thoughts.
Immediately after, the two brothers staggered half a step, each bowed and said hello.
"No, no, Xian'er, Xian'er, it's been a hard journey, I'm fine now."
Although Gaozong still had a slightly embarrassed expression on his face, as soon as he saw his two sons arriving, he immediately smiled kindly, raised his hand, and called out gently.
"Thank you, Father, for your kindness."
Since Gaozong had called out, the two brothers didn't think anything of it. According to the rules, they thanked each other and stood up straight.
"Xian'er, Xian'er, both ladies are here. I'd rather go and see Li soon." Just as the two brothers just straightened up, Empress Wu, who had been sitting still, suddenly said, "It's very cool."
The implication of choosing which pot to pick up if you don’t open it is included.
As expected, when Empress Wu said these words, not only Gaozong's face became embarrassed, but Wu Shun and Helan Minyue's expressions also changed slightly. As for Li Xian, they were also quite embarrassed. After all, the two so-called ladies were both
It is a shady thing. According to etiquette, it is really not suitable to appear in such a formal occasion where father and son of the Tian family meet. It is obvious that there is no other explanation for Empress Wu's behavior other than intentionality.
"I have met Mrs. Korea, Mrs. Wei."
Now that Empress Wu has spoken, Li Xian and Brother Li can only do it regardless of whether they are willing or not.
"Oh, I don't dare to take this seriously. Your Highnesses are already here. I can't accept this great gift from them."
Facing the two princes' greetings, Mrs. Wu Shun of South Korea did not speak, she just bent slightly and returned the favor, but Mrs. Helan Minyue of Wei smiled sweetly, pinched her orchid finger, and teased
He said a sentence, full of sour sarcasm.
"snort."
Li Xian has always been arrogant, how could he tolerate others to ridicule him so wantonly, his expression suddenly changed, his face became stern, and he snorted coldly, as if he was showing signs of going crazy.
No, this bastard, the sixth one, is going to be fooled! As soon as Li Xian saw Li Xian's expression, his heart sank immediately. He didn't want his brothers to become a prop to vent anger between Empress Wu and Helan Minyue. This
Then he laughed and said from the side: "Mrs. Wei, you are so polite. Xiao Wang got some interesting things in the capital this time. He thought they might be suitable for the palace. He thought about sending them back to the palace later. By chance, you two
Madam is here, so I'm taking advantage of it." After saying this, Li Xian turned sideways and faced Gaozong and Empress Wu who were sitting in the middle again, bowed and said: "Father, Emperor, Mother, this time the child is with us.
Sixth Brother has put together some small things. Although they are not very expensive, they are quite exquisite. Can you please allow me to present them to you immediately?"
"Well, it's okay, it's okay, Mei Niang, look..."
Emperor Gaozong didn't want Li Xian to have a conflict with Helan Minyue on the spot, and he didn't want to give Empress Wu a chance to use the topic to express herself. At this time, when Li Xian interrupted, he felt relieved and quickly took over the topic.
Gaozong still felt a little guilty, and finally handed over the decision-making power to Empress Wu.
"Xian'er is interested, so just present it." Empress Wu glanced at Li Xian thoughtfully, smiled slightly, but did not reject Li Xian's proposal.
"Yes, my child obeys the order."
Li Xian was a sensitive person, so he could understand the hidden thoughts hidden in Empress Wu's glance. His heart sank involuntarily, but he did not dare to bring it to his face. He hurriedly bowed and agreed.
Walking to the side, he cupped his hands to Gao Hesheng who was waiting beside him, and greeted with a smile: "Eunuch Gao, please come and send a message to Gao Miao at the little prince's residence. Someone will move the gift box in the lonely carriage here.
.”
"I don't dare. His Highness has orders, and I must obey them."
Gao Hesheng did not immediately agree to Li Xian's request. Instead, he quickly glanced at Empress Wu who was sitting high on the throne. Seeing Empress Wu nodded slightly, he bowed and agreed, and led several young eunuchs to move.
Don’t mention the gift box.
"Xian'er's governance of Qizhou has been quite effective. I have heard about it. He is very kind and is in line with my wishes." Emperor Gaozong obviously did not want the embarrassing situation to happen again, and he did not care about Li Xian's confrontation with Gao Zheng.
After negotiating with He Sheng, he already smiled and praised Li Xian.
"Father, you praise me too much. This is what a child should do." Although Li Xian was high-spirited, he was not a ungrateful person. When he heard Gaozong's praise, he did not dare to be proud and hurriedly thanked him.
.
"Well, it's good to know your duty. To govern a state is like governing a country, and the people must live in peace and harmony. I heard that Xian'er worked hard to encourage farmers and mulberry trees in the state, but I don't know what the results were?" Emperor Gaozong said.
Because he wanted to test Li Xian's skills, and secondly, he didn't want to have any further troubles before Li Xian's gift was presented, so he smiled and asked about Li Xian's governance of Qizhou.
"My father taught me that the child believes that farming is the foundation of the country, so..."
Li Xian actually had not guessed the reason for Gao Zong's detailed question. However, such a question obviously scratched Li Xian's itch. As soon as he started speaking, the words came out of his mouth incessantly.
There is no end to it. Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu were both quite familiar with governance, so they could listen to it. From time to time, they would ask some difficult questions about government affairs, but Mrs. Han and Mrs. Wei
But what he heard was like a fog, and he couldn't get away from it, so he could only sit aside with a smile and listen to every word. Only Li Xian didn't say a word at all.
As soon as he heard it, although his face was full of attention and attention, in fact, his mind had already turned to other things.
Li Xian already knew what Empress Wu was going to do, not only because Li Xian had experienced it once in his previous life, but also because Li Xian had already understood the extremely hidden thoughts in Empress Wu's glance - murderous intent.
, although it was not very strong, Li Xian noticed it extremely keenly. Of course, Li Xian knew very well that this murderous intention was not directed at himself, but at the Korean lady and her daughter. Obviously, Empress Wu was interested in
The patience of the mother and daughter has reached its limit, and they are determined to get rid of it soon. The question is what is Empress Wu's intention in exposing her conflict with Wu Shun's mother and daughter in front of her two sons?
Taking the blame! This is the only explanation that makes sense! After Li Xian quickly went through what happened before in his mind, he already guessed something fishy - Empress Wu staged the story of catching an adulterer, the purpose was to make He Lan Minyue angry, and then
Then try to stir up Helan Minyue's sensitive nerves, causing some unpleasant conflicts with Li Xian, who has always been arrogant, and intensifying the conflict between the two. In this way, if something unexpected happens to Wu Shun and his daughter next,
, I am afraid that the two brothers Li Xian will become the main targets of suspicion. After all the troubles, even if there is no real evidence, it will be enough to make the two brothers disgraced. If Empress Wu comes to the rescue in time, she will not be able to do anything.
The two brothers were worried about not submitting obediently, thus becoming perfect pawns in his hands to deal with the prince.
It’s not easy to take the blame, and people will die! Although Li Xian is not completely sure whether his guess is correct, based on his understanding of Empress Wu, such unbelievable things may not have happened - if Li Xian hadn’t seen the opportunity before
Quickly, I stopped Li Xian's rage. I'm afraid Li Xian really dared to fight with Helan Minyue on the spot. What happened next might be a matter of course. Of course, this was just Li Xian.
It's just a private guess. Only Empress Wu knows the details. However, no matter what, Li Xian doesn't want to get involved in this lively situation.
"Your Highness, your box has arrived."
While Li Xianli was thinking wildly on the side, Gao Hesheng had already led several young eunuchs carrying boxes back. Seeing Li Xian making a grand speech in the palace, he did not dare to step forward to cause trouble, so he had to cautiously get closer.
Next to Li Xian, he whispered something.
"Well, I'm done."
Li Xian came back from his reverie, looked sideways, and saw that it was Gao Hesheng who had turned back, but he didn't take it seriously. He didn't want to step forward and disturb Li Xian's performance at this time, so he suppressed
He started, signaling Gao Hesheng to talk later.
"Hey, Eunuch Gao is back."
Li Xian didn't want to disturb Li Xian's elegance, but Helan Minyue didn't have that worry. She was impatient to listen to Li Xian's grand remarks, but she couldn't get away from it. She was tired of waiting for a long time. When she saw Gao He
When the victory came back, he immediately became excited as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood. He shouted without hesitation, which immediately attracted everyone's attention. Li Xianzheng's grand argument in the middle of his explanation had to be stopped here.
But it stopped.
Li Xian had always been upright, but being disturbed like this by Helan Minyue, it was really difficult to swallow his breath. He was so angry that his face turned purple, and he glared at the proud Helan Minyue, and there were strong signs that he would explode.
