Even though it was not the emperor who arrived, the young and old of the Wu family did not dare to ignore it. After all, Li Xian was a young brother with a big title, and it was no joke for two princes to come hand in hand. If the etiquette was violated, there would be trouble.
The joke is still light, but once the two young brothers are angry, the fun will be great. Therefore, as soon as they learned that the Li Xian brothers were about to arrive, Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun did not dare to be negligent, and hurriedly
The whole family gathered together and lined up at the gate of Gong Yuan's house to wait eagerly. After a while, they saw flags fluttering at the far end of the avenue and a large group of people came. All the soldiers couldn't help but feel refreshed. However,
, but the next scene made everyone in the Wu family dumbfounded - when the large group of people drove to a distance of only three hundred steps from Gong Yuan's house, they actually stopped halfway and did not move forward for a long time.
Previous.
"Brother, what did you say? Why don't you move?"
Seeing the two princes' men and horses stopped in the middle of the road for no reason, everyone in the Wu family was at a loss. They couldn't figure out what happened. They just saw that Wu Weiliang didn't say anything. Although the disciples of Wu had their own doubts, they
He didn't dare to talk nonsense, but Wu Huaiyun, who was carefree by nature, didn't have that worry. He tilted his head impatiently and said displeasedly.
"Wait!"
Even though Wu Weiliang had a sullen face and seemed calm, in fact, he was also murmuring in his heart. He also had no idea what the Li Xian brothers were doing, but as a parent, Wu Weiliang had to make a plan for his family.
The role model can only force oneself to maintain a superficial composure. At this time, when Wu Huaiyun complained, his face instantly turned ugly, and he replied coldly.
"Wait? We still have to wait. How long will it take before we are done?"
Wu Huaiyun muttered unhappily, but when he saw Wu Weiliang's cold eyes sweeping over him, Wu Huaiyun, who had always been afraid of his brother, did not dare to be more presumptuous, so he reluctantly closed his mouth and turned his gaze towards him with a dark face.
He caught the large group of people parked in the distance.
"Seventh brother, isn't this good?"
Not to mention that the young and old people from the Wu family were eagerly waiting on the other end, but Li Xian, who was sitting next to Li Xian on the other end, was also a little impatient - it was Li Xian's idea to stop halfway. Although Li Xian didn't know what he meant, he still couldn't bear it.
He didn't refute Li Xian's face, but he didn't expect that the pause would last so long. Full of doubts, he had to ask questions.
"It doesn't matter, the queen mother only said that you and my brothers would come to stand in front of us, and she didn't explain all the matters. It's okay for you and my brothers to make their own decisions. There is still some time before the father and the emperor arrive, so it's not a big deal to wait any longer.
"Li Xian was anxious, but Li Xian was not anxious at all. He laughed and replied slowly, as if he was leisurely and leisurely. In Li Xian's view, the Gongjiayuan house in front of him was just a nest of right and wrong. If Empress Wu really
If we plan to take action tonight, once the two brothers enter the garden early, they will be suspected of being involved in the melon field. Although there may not be a big implication, it is inevitable that they will suffer some consequences. For the sake of safety, naturally
It was better not to mess with anyone. As for what everyone in the Wu family would think, Li Xian didn't care at all - the thoughts of the dying people should be taken seriously. Furthermore, to take a step back, even if Empress Wu
I really don’t plan to take action tonight, so that’s okay. The two warriors on the left and right are both people who are deeply disgusted by Empress Wu. Li Xianzi is not afraid of offending them. In this case, it’s not a big deal to just let the young and old of the Wu family wait.
, but the reason here is a long story, and Li Xian is really too lazy to explain more.
"Seventh brother is really naughty, that's all. As a brother, I will just accompany you to fool around for once." Seeing Li Xian being so leisurely, Li Xian shook his head in confusion, but he didn't want to hurt the relationship between them because of such a trivial matter.
Feelings, he simply didn't ask for the reason, laughed and cursed, and let Li Xian make the decision.
"Wu Weiliang, the governor of Shizhou (Wu Huaiyun, the governor of Zizhou) respectfully welcomes His Royal Highness King Lu and His Highness the King of Zhou."
Li Xian could afford to wait, but the Wu family couldn't afford to wait. The time of seeing a stick of incense has passed, and the Li Xian brothers' troops have never moved, and they have not even sent anyone to pass on the news. The Wu brothers naturally no longer
Unable to wait any longer, he had to come forward and call out loudly to ask for an audience.
"Ha, Sixth Brother, people are here. You might as well go down and meet them. Don't let people say that our brothers are arrogant. That would be bad." As soon as he heard the names of the Wu brothers, Li Xian couldn't help but smile.
, said jokingly.
"You, what a nonsense!" After hearing Li Xian speak so nonchalantly, Li Xian really didn't know what to say. He laughed and cursed, but did not refute Li Xian's suggestion. He stretched out his hand to lift the curtain.
The young eunuch waiting beside the carriage rolled up the curtain. Li Xian bent down and stepped out of the carriage steadily. Seeing this, Li Xian shrugged his shoulders indifferently and followed him with a smile on his face.
"The lower official Wu Weiliang (Wu Huaiyun) met His Royal Highness King Lu and met His Royal Highness King Zhou."
Although the Wu Weiliang brothers were full of confusion and dissatisfaction, in front of the two princes, there was no room for them to be arrogant. When they saw the Li Xian brothers getting off the carriage one after another, they hurriedly greeted them.
Go over and bow respectfully to say hello.
"You two uncles are too polite, so please excuse me."
Although they are nephews and uncles, they have never interacted with each other. In fact, over the years, Li Xian has only met these two a few times during this time.
There is so much family affection to speak of. Besides, because of Empress Wu, Li Xian had a bad impression of everyone in the Wu family. When he saw his two cousins saluting him, Li Xian really didn't have any special feelings, but
In this kind of situation, some politeness is indispensable, so I put on an amiable look, raised my hand and said politely.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highnesses. It's cold and the wind here is strong. Could you please come to the garden to rest for a while and allow me to show my friendship to the landlords?" Wu Weiliang did not dare to ask Brother Li Xian directly why he stopped here.
During this half of the journey, I could only say a few tentative words with a smile on my face.
"Uncle, you're welcome. Father will be here in a moment. It will be inconvenient to go in and out. I'm afraid it would be bad if you lose your etiquette in front of the saint. Why don't you just wait here." Wu Weiliang didn't wait as soon as he finished speaking.
Li Xian made some remarks, but Li Xian had already intervened and declined Wu Weiliang's invitation.
"this……"
Li Xian's reason sounds like the same thing, but in fact it is not - this place is still some distance away from Gong Jiayuan's house, so there is no reason to meet him half way, and it sounds like he doesn't want to give up.
Wu Weiliang couldn't help but feel angry because of the dignity of the Wu brothers, but he didn't dare to get angry in person. His eyelids twitched a few times and he helplessly turned his attention to Li Xian.
"Well, seventh brother's words make sense, so that's it."
Although Li Xian didn't know why Li Xian said this, he knew that his younger brother had always been very resourceful, and there must be a deep meaning in doing this. Besides, Li Xian had to give him face, so Li Xian could not refute it in public.
After hearing Li Xian's words, he could only smile and affirm.
"Your Highnesses, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. This place is far away from the garden. How can we pick him up? What if the Holy One blames him?" Wu Huaiyun has always had a bad temper. He had suppressed it earlier.
I was very angry. When I heard that the two princes actually came up with such a bad idea, I couldn't bear it any longer. I objected with a red face and thick neck.
"If you two cousins think it's far away from here, please feel free to meet us at the garden. Xiao Wang doesn't mind." Li Xian didn't take Wu Huaiyun's dissatisfaction seriously at all and replied with a smile.
, I didn’t show any sympathy to him at all.
"How could it be..." Wu Huaiyun had a temper, and when Li Xian slapped him like this, he immediately became furious. Regardless of their status, he would get angry if he opened his mouth.
"Second brother, don't be so presumptuous!" Wu Weiliang saw that the situation was not right. How could he dare to let Wu Huaiyun be so presumptuous? He hurriedly scolded and stopped Wu Huaiyun's words. Then he didn't care how ugly Wu Huaiyun's face was.
Brother Li Xian bowed deeply and said apologetically: "My brother has a hot temper, but he has no bad intentions. If there is any offense, please forgive me."
"You don't have to be like this, cousin. It's all to welcome you to a big event. Differences of opinion are normal and don't need to be taken to heart. In Xiao Wang's opinion, since the two cousins think that they should meet him in the garden, there is nothing wrong with it.
How about I ask you a favor?" Li Xian finished pretending to be a bad guy, and immediately pretended to be a good guy again, but after all that, he refused to even take a step closer to Gong Yuayuan's house, which made the Wu brothers frown.
"Since Your Highness insists on this, I will just obey your orders. However, how about allowing Your Majesty to accompany the two Highnesses to welcome you?" Seeing Li Xian insisting like this, Wu Weiliang had no choice but to do so.
, I had no choice but to give in and asked in a very tactful way.
"That's very good, so I'll help my cousin."
Li Xian looked at Li Xian and saw that Li Xian nodded imperceptibly, so he stopped talking nonsense and nodded in agreement with a smile. Seeing this, Wu Weiliang could only whisper a few words to Wu Huaiyun and asked him to return to the gate of the garden.
He was in charge of the overall situation, but he stayed with the Li Xian brothers, laughing and joining in the fun. Then, a strange scene appeared - the normally welcoming scene was actually divided into two disconnected parts.
, no matter how you look at it, it looks like two groups of unrelated people have gotten together, each doing their own thing.
"Your Majesty is here!"
"Your Majesty is here!"
The crowd didn't wait long. Not long after, several young eunuchs galloped in from a distance, driving loudly. Immediately, countless Yulin officers and soldiers escorted a gold chrome car and several vehicles.
The luxurious carriage drove slowly along the avenue towards Gong Yuayuan's house. Gaozong, Empress Wu and others arrived!
