"My son, Liu Mingzhi, meets my mother and is a thousand years old!"
Liu Mingzhi followed Qian Lu, Manager Qian, walking east and west and finally arrived at Funing Palace, where Nangong Meng had recently moved.
After all, after Li Baiyu ascended the throne, Nangong Meng could no longer live in the palace where the queen lived. That was the place where the new queen would be in the future. Although Li Baiyu wanted to open a new palace and let the queen live in the palace she was used to, Nangong Meng blocked it. .
The reason is of course not to be extravagant and wasteful. Although the treasury is now a little rich, the world is so big that there are too many places to spend money.
Nangong Meng, dressed in a luxurious phoenix robe, smiled lightly and looked at Young Master Liu who was standing by the door and saluting: "Mingzhi, you kid doesn't need to be so polite, hurry up and take your seat!"
"Thank you, Queen Mother!"
Liu Mingzhi gave the third princess who was looking at him affectionately a smile and sat down next to Nangong Meng.
"Old Qian, pour some wine for the Prince Consort!"
"Yes, concubine!"
"Mingzhi, you have been working hard these days for your father and Yu'er. Thank you for your hard work! Your father has just made a big success, and I don't want to be too grand, so I have prepared some simple meals. Today is the first day of the new year. You I didn’t even have time to have a reunion dinner.”
"The queen mother feels guilty, so she calls you to express her feelings!"
Nangong Meng said it was just a simple meal, but in fact, he prepared six dishes and two soups.
It can be seen that Nangong Meng is still grateful to Liu Mingzhi for supporting his son so much.
Liu Mingzhi picked up the wine glass and nodded to Qian Lu: "Thank you!"
"Mother, these are the things that a minister should do. Since the emperor has designated his minister as an auxiliary minister, it is natural for the minister to do these things for the sake of the stability of the court."
"It's a pity that God is ruthless. My father was in his prime."
"Fortunately, there is peace inside and outside for the time being, giving His Majesty time to adapt. This is also a blessing among misfortunes."
Nangong Meng's brows also had a hint of sadness: "Mingzhi, the dead have passed away, the living have their condolences!"
"Your father can leave with peace of mind, and your mother will be content with this!"
"In this life, the grass and trees will fall, and this day will come. Even if the queen mother doesn't want to look away, she has to look away!"
"Queen Mother, sons and ministers should not mention the sad things about the Queen Mother, please forgive me!"
"His Majesty has just ascended the throne, and his mother's teachings are indispensable. I would like to drink a glass of wine to my mother and queen. Let him let bygones be bygones!"
"Yan'er also respects her mother!"
The three of them drank all the wine in their glasses, and Nangong Meng looked at the third princess with a chuckle.
"Yan'er, there are two desserts left in the imperial dining room. Go and pass them on. Those eunuchs and maids are uneasy because of your father's affairs. It is inevitable that something went wrong and their mood was disrupted."
The third princess was stunned and nodded obediently: "Mother, I understand, you and your husband will have your meal first!"
"Husband, I will come as soon as I leave!"
"Okay, be careful!"
The third princess slowly left the palace and looked at the eunuch standing outside the palace: "Tell me, what did the queen ask me to do?"
The eunuch was stunned and quickly responded: "Your Highness, Your Majesty is waiting for Your Highness in the Royal Study. As for what happened, we don't know."
"Brother Imperial? This princess knows, please lead the way!"
"Yes, please come this way, Your Highness the Princess."
Nangong Meng looked at Young Master Liu who was engrossed in eating: "Mingzhi, what do you think of King Shu and the others?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Nangong Meng in surprise as he ate. As expected, Nangong Meng sent the third princess away not because of the food and wine.
After thinking for a while, Liu Mingzhi put down the chopsticks in his hand: "I wonder which aspect the queen is talking about?"
Nangong Meng pondered for a while, with a slightly strange look on his still charming face.
"For example, what they think about Yu'er ascending the throne as emperor!"
"From your point of view, do they now accept the fact that Yu'er has ascended the throne?"
"It's okay for Ping'er and the others. You must know that Hong'er and Long'er have been eyeing that position while your father was still alive."
"The Queen Mother is worried that they still won't give up. If something goes wrong, it will be a big trouble for Yu'er, the court, and the stability of the country."
"Mingzhi, you are one of the auxiliary ministers appointed by your father. I wonder if there is any way to deal with it in advance!"
Liu Mingzhi shook his head slightly: "My mother, my son, and my ministers don't have any good ideas."
"After all, these royal brothers are relatives of the Li family, and with the clan's mansion on their side, not to mention the ministers, even His Majesty can't do anything good."
"Now that the matter has come to an end, my son's intention is to show off his tactics as soon as possible."
"As long as His Majesty stabilizes the imperial court, even if the imperial brothers have any ideas, it will be in vain!"
"You really don't have the ability to anticipate the enemy's opportunities!"
Nangong Meng nodded regretfully, and she also knew that what Young Master Liu said was the truth.
With the sect's mansion on the side, they had to think twice even if Li Baiyu tried to manipulate Li Yunlong, let alone Liu Mingzhi, a foreign minister.
As long as Li Yunlong and the others did not take any actual actions, Li Baiyu and any emperor could only stare.
"Eat slowly. I've been hungry for a long time. Drink some soup to nourish your stomach first!"
"Thank you, Queen Mother, I'm so rude!"
Afraid that Nangong Meng would ask some weird questions again, Young Master Liu buried his head in eating again.
As for etiquette issues, the late emperor Li Zheng didn't even bother to ask himself about this matter, let alone Nangong Meng, a queen mother!
There was only a little food left on the dinner table. Nangong Meng frequently glanced at the palace door with an anxious look on his face.
If the daughter doesn't come back, the secret will be exposed.
Nangong Meng didn't know that Young Master Liu had long understood that Nangong Meng intended to drive away the third princess.
While Nangong Meng was waiting eagerly, the third princess came in first, followed by two eunuchs holding cakes.
"Mother, my son is back!"
"You kid, you don't know how to urge those royal chefs to come back after taking so long!"
"The queen mother wrongly blamed her son. Pastry takes time, and my daughter didn't do it on purpose!"
The third princess took the tray from the eunuch's hand: "Mother, husband, please try the newly made osmanthus cake by the imperial kitchen!"
Nangong Meng stretched out her well-maintained slender jade fingers to pick up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, put it into her lips, tasted it briefly, and put it down: "It tastes good. Mingzhi, please eat more. My mother has a poor appetite because of your father's affairs." , just try it.”
"Thank you very much, Queen Mother. You're welcome, sir!"
Young Master Liu grabbed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and wolfed it down, selectively turning a blind eye to the angry eyes of the third princess.
Not only is it important to fill your stomach, but you can also avoid the topic, which is a great thing.
After a long time, Mr. Liu patted his belly and said: "Mother, if there is nothing else, I and Yan'er will leave first. After all, it is not good for your son to stay in the harem for too long!"
"Okay, Queen Mother will feel relieved after you have eaten and drank enough. You go and wait outside the palace first. The Queen Mother will be given the Queen Mother's robe twice in the dressing room. Queen Mother will ask Yan'er for reference. It won't take long!"
"Yes, I will leave first."
Young Master Liu walked out of the hall without changing his expression.
Nangong Meng looked at the third princess with a chuckle: "Let me tell you what your eldest brother wants to reward you for!"
"I told you, but I also asked some other things!"
Nangong Meng was stunned: "Other things? What else did you say?"
The third princess looked back at the outside of the palace with a complex expression: "Brother the emperor asked my father-in-law if he has a lot of money!"
Nangong Meng's face was puzzled for a moment, and then her face suddenly changed slightly: "The queen knows, you should go back with Mingzhi first!"
"Yes, I am resigning!"
After the third princess left, Nangong Meng looked at Manager Qian and said, "Qian Lu, go and send Yu'er to me to say hello."
"yes!"
"Husband, let me down quickly, it's not good for people to see me!"
Young Master Liu happily looked back at the third princess on his back: "What's wrong? It's natural for a husband to carry his wife on his back."
"There are no regulations in the Dalong Law. My husband can carry it on his back if he wants to. After eating so much, he just needs to lose weight while you, a big fat pig, is carrying it on his back!"
"I'm not fat. The flesh on my body has grown as much as it should!"
"Really? When I get home, my husband needs to check carefully to see if Yan'er is cumming again!"
The third princess, with a blushing face, hugged her husband's neck and glanced at the guard who passed by not far away.
"How high is it? Can't you feel it when you carry me on your back?"
"Oh, I wear thick clothes in winter, who knows if it's the clothes!"
The third princess angrily tugged on Young Master Liu's ears: "Bah, you are not serious. You are telling lies with your eyes open. That's not what you said when you were fighting for the child! Except for Sister Shan, I have never obeyed anyone! Feng Luan Like gathering, the waves are like anger, it’s my concubine!”
"Yan'er, you've learned badly. You were never like this before!"
"That's what I learned from you, a big pervert!"
"By the way, husband! Brother Huang just sent word that Yan'er has passed by!"
"Then what?"
"He wants to reward Qian'er with a title, and asked me whether I want a foreign title or an inner title!"
"My lord, my lord, my husband is not at peace with me!"
"Okay, I listen to my husband, and whatever he says will be whatever he says!"
"Husband!"
"What's wrong?"
"I want to buy some clothes that my husband likes better and show them to me, but my money... my husband understands that!"
Young Master Liu's eyes lit up: "Yan'er, husband, I still have some private money here. Let's buy whatever Yan'er likes. Since I don't have enough money, I must not treat my wife badly."
"Your salary is not even enough to visit a brothel. Where did you get your private money?"
"Ask the old man for it. This is a fine tradition of our Liu family. How much can a few pieces of clothing cost?"
"You really don't feel bad for selling your father's land. My father-in-law's money didn't come from the strong wind. How can you do this? There is no other son like you in my father-in-law's stall."
"What's this? It's not a lot of money. The old man goes to the brothel to rent out brothels. What's wrong with me spending a few dollars to buy clothes for his daughter-in-law?"
"It's not a lot of money, it's nothing to spend on anyone!"
"Okay, it turns out what sister Yun said is true. It turns out that my husband paid other people's bills when they disagreed with me in Jiangnan. It is true that like father, like son. My father-in-law may seem so serious at times, but it turns out he is also an old man. .”
Young Master Liu laughed bitterly: "I was young and frivolous, and my husband is not the same as before. I wish I could break a tael of silver into ten parts and spend it!"
"Also, Yan'er, if the old man is not serious, let's just talk about it. Don't talk nonsense, especially to my mother!"
"Otherwise, if the old man finds out, he will have to cut off my husband's private money!"
"Of course I know, I'm not a gossipy woman, but husband, my father-in-law spends money so lavishly, how much money does he have, he can forget about it!"
"You are also tormenting, the second uncle is also torturing behind the back of his siblings, and the third uncle is not honest."
"It makes Chengfeng and the three brothers follow suit. As long as the money is spent, let's see if you guys know how to stay at home!"
Mr. Liu gently pressed his forehead: "Yan'er, don't believe it. My husband will be thirty soon. I really don't know how much the old man will pay for his husband."
"As you can see, the old man is still quite strong now, and he feels like he can live longer than a bastard."
"It's probably going to be difficult for the second child to inherit the family property in the short term. It's hard to survive."
"Besides, my husband won't be able to inherit the family property after he sets up his own business. I really don't know how much money my husband will receive."
"But he should be quite rich. My husband has never worried about money. Even an old man with five thousand taels is too embarrassed to take action. I don't think about it anymore. It's not ours to inherit the family property anyway. Why do you think so much!"
"That's what my husband said. If I think about it carefully, I'd better save some money for my husband. I won't buy those clothes!"
"No, no matter how much you save, it's not bad at all!"
.........
Outside the palace, the Li Baihong brothers looked around and dispersed in Tianxiang Tower. They each got on the carriage and rushed towards their homes.
Two men in plain clothes among the crowd on the street looked at each other at the last man in a bamboo hat who came out of Tianxiang Tower.
"Sending a letter to the Lord, the fish is about to bite!"
"Would you like to make sure again?"
"My eyes haven't seen the wrong person yet. Send the message directly. Don't fly pigeons to send messages. Be careful of those who spy in Ouchi. Their shadows are everywhere in the past two days, making us controlled everywhere!"
"What are you afraid of? It's not like we haven't killed spies before..."
"Well! Do you want to cause trouble for the Lord?"
"Don't dare, I'm going to deliver the message first!"
The older man in plain clothes looked at the back of his companion and frowned slightly.
"It seems that we need to tell the Lord, the brothers are getting more and more swollen."
