[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 22

Wu Xu couldn't help rubbing her forehead, she and Li Xiaojiu are really getting more and more alike, and now they even speak the same tone, what kind of trouble is this going to be!

"Jiulang, you don't want to introduce your wife to Dalang, do you?" Wu Xu asked with a smile while pinching Li Xiaojiu's arm.

"Uh... Also?" His Majesty Li Xiaojiu immediately understood what was going on, and couldn't help but gloated at Wu Minzhi.

"It seems that your aunt is worried about this matter, so I will just wait to be a witness~~~~" His Majesty Li Xiaojiu looked very comfortably at the Wu family boy's cold face finally showing signs of cracking, and was planning Say something more.

At this time, a notification came from outside the hall: "Prince, King Pei, and King Zhou have arrived——"

Wu Xu couldn't help laughing when she heard the sound, it's time for the children to take their lunch break again~~~~

Speaking of which, Yang Shi and Wu Dalang are both here today, and they haven't been reunited like this for a long time.

Without Wu Xu's instructions, the palace servants in the Zichen Palace have already quickly packed up the place for the three His Royal Highnesses to sit. Yang Shi and Wu Minzhi are the elders of the three of them, and originally they didn't need to move their seats, but Li Hong did it anyway. Prince Chu, the other two are princes, and the Yang family didn't dare to trust him, so he immediately stood up to greet him.

Wu Minzhi originally sat on the upper left seat, but now he has stood up and took a seat down...

The three people who came in were naturally led by Li Hong.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has grown a little taller this year, and it seems that he has lost his youthful innocence and developed towards a handsome young man.

Although His Royal Highness Pei Wang was one year younger than the prince, he was much taller than the prince. His appearance was more like His Majesty Li Xiaojiu, but he always looked indifferent on weekdays, which made many people in the palace very nervous. How can I please this Highness with a headache!

As for His Royal Highness Xiaosanlang King Zhou, who followed the two elder brothers, he is the most popular among the palace people. This little guy has a sweet mouth, and he has no airs of a prince. A little food can please him. He is really an easy master to serve. ! !

When Li Hong entered the hall, he immediately saw Cousin Wu in scarlet clothes, and he couldn't help showing a look of joy on his face.

However, His Royal Highness always pays attention to etiquette. When he came in, he first saluted Wu Xu and Li Xiaojiu, then said hello to Yang Shi, and then looked at Cousin Wu.

"Prince." Wu Minzhi also hadn't seen Li Hong for more than two months, seeing that the youth seemed to be much lighter than before, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

Li Hong's health is not good, and he eats very little in summer. This is no secret in the palace. Moreover, when summer comes, the Queen of Heaven will always try to get some strange things for her son to eat, causing troubles in the court and the public. They were all paying attention, and often guessed where Tianhou's lady's recipes came from, and some princes and ministers were proud to be rewarded with dim sum by Tianhou.Over the past few years, Li Hong's anorexia symptoms have greatly improved in the summer, and he has raised a lot of meat...

I don't want to, this year has not yet reached the hottest time in Chang'an, and His Royal Highness has lost a lot of weight...

It is not common for Wu Minzhi to frown, but Li Hong has seen it several times, and every time it is related to his body.

Li Hong couldn't help but secretly sighed, but with a faint smile on his face, he asked Wu Minzhi, "When did brother come back?"

"Last night." Wu Minzhi answered briefly, looked at Li Hong carefully for a while, and then looked away.

After the three of Li Hong came in, the popularity in the hall suddenly increased a lot.

Xiao Saburo went directly to the soft couch where Wu Xu was sitting, and got tired of his mother.

His Royal Highness took the seat given by Wu Minzhi as a matter of course, but the seat next to him was immediately taken by Cousin Wu, and his second brother could only sit under Wu Minzhi with his eyelids down...

Wu Xu didn't notice the dark turmoil between the three brothers below.

She is now attracted by what Xiao Saburo said

"You mean a unicorn?!" Wu Xu looked at her youngest son in disbelief. She even suspected that this little guy didn't know what a unicorn was, right?

I don't know if Wu Xu's eyes showed too much suspicion, Xiao Saburo's fleshy face was flushed red, and he looked like he was about to jump up at any time, and he said loudly: "It's true, Mommy!"

"A unicorn really appeared in the Tai Chi Palace, and even someone in the Chongwen Museum saw it..."

As Xiaosanlang said, he danced and danced, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

Wu Xu couldn't help but twitched the corner of her mouth, and turned to look at Li Xiaojiu with the same expression as her...

Back then, Comrade Su said he saw a flying dragon when he was conquering Baekje, and then all the state capitals in the Tang Dynasty said that they saw dragons in the daytime...

Now it’s good to say that I saw the unicorn again. Nima, this beast is so easy to see? !

And even the people in the Chongwen Museum are spreading the word, there must be some reason!

Wu Xu has been an atheist for so many years, so she doesn't like this kind of auspicious thing in the eyes of the ancients.

What does the unicorn mean?

Just as Wu Xu thought of this, Li Xiaojiu had already said, "The Qilin is here, the world is peaceful..."

"Is the world peaceful?" Wu Xu thought about it and couldn't help laughing. Now that Tang has wiped out its neighbors and become the most powerful country in Asia, he no longer has to worry about being coveted by the neighboring powers. The world is peaceful' is not an exaggeration.

But this unicorn or something, she really wants to see it!

Could it be that the elk raised in the imperial garden of the Taiji Palace ran into the palace and were misunderstood as divine beasts?

When Wu Xu thought of this possibility, he couldn't stop laughing.

Seeing that his mother seemed to believe his words, Xiao Saburo also smirked.

"Emperor and Queen's Holy Virtue Candles, Ze be the common people, there should be auspiciousness in this world!" Yang also smiled and said: "Actually, as early as the second sage came back from Mount Tai, there were rumors that a strange beast appeared here in Chang'an... ..."

"There is such a thing?" His Majesty Li Xiaojiu was surprised when he heard this.

Wu Xudao didn't pay attention to his strange look, but instead asked Yang with great interest, "Aniang has heard of this kind of thing for a long time? When is it?"

Yang thought for a while, and said: "It should be my lady, you have returned to the palace soon..."

The three brothers at the bottom listened silently to the people in the audience talking about the unicorn beast, but suddenly they heard Yang mention the time when the unicorn was first discovered, and all three of them frowned at the same time...

"Aniang, this matter may be caused by that monster...Ming Chongyan!" Li Xian, who had never been able to steal from his elder brother, spoke first this time.

"Oh? It's him?" Wu Xu and Li Xiaojiu were taken aback when they heard this.

After they summoned classmate Xiao Ming in Taishan, they brought him back to Chang'an, thinking that this person has some skills and can be put to good use.As a result, after the two returned to Beijing, they fell ill and dispatched troops to deal with Tubo, so they forgot about this real person for a while.

"I remember asking him to stay in the Chongwen Museum temporarily..." His Majesty Li Xiaojiu suddenly realized when he said this.

Well, it seems that this guy is probably responsible for the appearance of divine beasts in Tai Chi Palace!

At first, when he heard Zezi, an official from the Chongwen Museum, say that someone saw Zezi who was suspected to be a unicorn, he thought it was someone who wanted to flatter him!

At that time, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu educated the official meaningfully.

Looking at it now, it must be that Master Ming is unwilling to be alone, trying to use this trick to arouse his and Wu Xu's ideas, and make them think of him...

Good way!

Obviously, Wu Xu's thoughts were similar to Li Xiaojiu's. After figuring out the cause and effect, he asked Xiao Shunzi to visit the Chongwen Museum, and invited Master Ming to talk.

Seeing that his father and mother were not at all angry with that demon's actions, Li Xian couldn't help turning black, and hearing Wu Xu say that he wanted to invite that demon to see him, he couldn't sit still.

"I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave!" Li Xian bid farewell to Wu Xu and His Majesty Li Xiaojiu who were seated with a straight face.

Li Hong couldn't help but glanced at him, he didn't understand why his second brother was so displeased with Ming Zhenren.

Even Wu Minzhi had a rare look of doubt on his always stern face.

Wu Xu only thought that Erlang of his family was going to the Jinluan Palace to catch up on sleep again, so he could only wave his hands helplessly: "Go, go... Remember to come over for dinner early in the evening..."

After saying this, Wu Xu took another look at the little Saburo lying on her lap, and beckoned for Saburo's maid to come over: "Take Saburo to have some snacks..."

Another minor was dismissed.

Li Zhi took a look at Wu Xu and probably guessed what she was thinking.

Is this about Da Lang's marriage?

The one who was most excited was Mrs. Yang, who was about to talk about Da Lang's marriage just now, but was interrupted by the three princes and the others, so she got off topic.

Now that the children have cleared the scene, we should be able to talk about the marriage, right?

Yang took a look at the crown prince and Dalang who were sitting across from her, and thought about the situation of the young ladies she had visited in the past few months, and then she spoke.

"The emperor just said that Dalang is not young anymore, and the old woman is also worried. This little lady in Chang'an is about the same age as Dalang and has already left the cabinet..." After speaking, Yang suddenly took out a bag from his sleeve. Folding the picture album, he circulated it to His Majesty Wu Xu and Li Xiaojiu, while saying: "There are not many young ladies left, and I ask the second sage to choose a good one for our Dalang..."

Wu Xu/His Majesty Li Xiaojiu: "..."

The two of them took the thick stack of picture albums in a very speechless manner, thinking in unison in their hearts how did Mama Wu get the portrait information of the little lady? !

Portraits of unmarried young ladies will never be circulated!

Not even the choice of concubine!

Wu Xu looked at Yang Shi with a lot of awe.

Wu Xu flipped through a few portraits at random, and found that the young ladies in the paintings were all pretty good-looking, but their family backgrounds were somewhat uneven.

At the high end, there are ladies from families with four surnames, and at the low end, there are even ladies from the families of sixth-rank officials in Beijing!

What a hodgepodge!

Wu Xu became more and more speechless.

"Aniang, don't you have someone you particularly like?"

Yang looked helplessly at Wu Dalang who was sitting across from her, and said, "I only hope that Dalang will marry his wife quickly..."

Well, saying it is the same as not saying it.

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu also looked at the album, and with a kind smile on his face, he kindly asked Wu Minzhi, who was as cold as ice, "What does Dalang like?"

"Nephew, it's up to uncle and aunt to decide." Wu Minzhi replied lightly, as if he had nothing to do with himself.

The author has something to say: April Fool's Day Theater:

His Royal Highness is getting married.

It is said that the crown princess is the number one beauty in Chang'an, and the two concubine Liang are also well-known. Everyone is looking forward to it, wanting to see how beautiful these three beauties are.

When entering the bridal chamber, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was heartbroken...

When the crown prince was uncovered, His Royal Highness was stunned...

Beauty is really beautiful, but why does she look so much like that fox? !
