Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Women's roles have been indispensable in dinners for thousands of years.

Until the modern society thousands of years later, this kind of traditional culture has also been handed down. The women at the dinner party can be the female subordinates of the leader, female colleagues, or the beautiful manager of Party B, the female secretary of the related household, etc.

The biggest role of their appearance at the dinner party is the atmosphere group, which makes the whole place inexplicably excited, especially when the protagonist of the dinner party just happens to get a certain achievement and honor, then it is even more necessary for the female character to magnify it infinitely, and then the table is full of guests. There is no bottom line for praise for this achievement.

As for the protagonist at the dinner, he got great psychological satisfaction from the praise of the guests at the table.

Today's Li Zhi called Mrs. Wei into the palace for a banquet, and that was the purpose.

And Mrs. Wei Guo is indeed a kind and understanding flower. After Li Zhi told her two pieces of good news with pride on her face, although she had nothing to do with Mrs. Wei Guo, she still gave her a gift very tactfully. own praise.

The son of heaven is brave, the son of heaven is talented and general, the son of heaven has achieved far more achievements than the previous emperor, etc. Li Zhi's soft praise made Li Zhi immediately elated, even more satisfied than praising him on the bed.

In the Xunfeng Hall, the maikos are still dancing with all their might, striving to be seen by the emperor one more time for their enchanting dancing postures, so that they can climb the branches and become phoenixes.

And Li Zhi's mind is obviously not on singing, dancing and fine wine, his cheeks are flushed, his expression is slightly drunk, he puts his arms around Mrs. Wei Guo, and his palms wander around her irregularly, which makes Mrs. Wei's body numb and tremble. , with spring in her pretty face, her big watery eyes glanced at him with anger and joy.

"Yue'er, I'm in the palace and you are outside the palace. I can only see you every other month. It's really hard to understand my lovesickness..." Li Zhifu, who was very drunk, whispered in her ear.

Mrs. Wei Guo glanced at him with a blushing face, and said with a light smile, "If Your Majesty accepts a concubine as a concubine, we will see each other day and night, and the lovesickness will be relieved."

Li Zhi sighed, and said: "Now the harem is dominated by your aunt. Apart from the empress, I have almost no other concubines, and you are her niece. It is even more difficult for you to be a concubine to hide the rumors of the world."

Mrs. Wei Guo is young and beautiful, and she also has an arrogance of being spoiled. Firstly, she thinks she is spoiled, and secondly, because she is young, she always feels that she will be able to drive the queen and mother away sooner or later. Isn't she the master of the harem at that time?
Seeing that Li Zhi was in trouble, Mrs. Wei blinked her eyes and said: "At the beginning, my aunt was a talented person of the late Emperor Taizong. After the late Emperor passed away, His Majesty ordered her to become a monk in Ganye Temple for two years. When she was brought back to the palace, she was a justified woman. The courtiers can't say anything."

"Your Majesty, why don't you follow this and let the concubine go to the Taoist temple to become a monk for a year. After the concubine returns to vulgarity, change her name and identity, and your majesty can justifiably accept the concubine into the palace."

Li Zhi smiled bitterly: "I have no objection, can your aunt agree?"

When Empress Wu was mentioned, Mrs. Wei's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, her expression showing fear.

Mrs. Wei has seen the majesty and methods of Empress Wu in the palace.

Just two years ago, her mother, Mrs. Han Han, was almost killed by her. If her grandmother, Mrs. Yang, hadn't come forward in person, the fate of their mother and daughter would be hard to say now.

How could such a powerful woman agree to let her niece enter the palace, and the second daughter of the aunt and niece will serve as a husband?
Having said that, they fell into a deadlock, and Li Zhi didn't have the courage to break the deadlock.

Empress Wu is not only his queen, but more importantly, she and Li Zhi are actually a pair of business partners who complement each other in their careers. Li Zhi's national policies include suppressing aristocratic families, promoting imperial examinations, etc., all of which are assisted by Empress Wu. He plots.

If the relationship between husband and wife is broken because of another woman, the consequences will be very serious, and it may affect the society and shake the foundation of the country.

Li Zhi can't take this risk, and he must be sober when he should be sober. The value of Mrs. Wei Guo is purely young and beautiful. To an emperor, her value is far less than that of Empress Wu. It is not cost-effective for her to break with Empress Wu.

The palm was still wandering irregularly on her body, Li Zhi smiled in her ear and said: "The time is still long, let's think about it in the long run, and I will give you a title. When I make a few more achievements, the court will give you a name." Once Li Shu has gained prestige, I will have the confidence to discuss with the queen face to face about accepting you as my concubine."

These words are very perfunctory, very scumbag, just like "I will definitely divorce the yellow-faced woman at home", whoever believes it is stupid.

But Mrs. Wei Guo believed it.

She felt that Li Zhi was very sincere when he said these words, and you are not joking, what the emperor said will definitely count.

So longing suddenly rose in her eyes, imagining that she was taken into the palace and made a concubine, and would be with the man she loves day and night.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wei Guo's eyes became hotter and her breathing became more rapid.

Ambition, dreams, and some not-so-simple feelings between men and women, combined desires, made her delude herself into thinking that it was called "love".

…………

In the hall, silk and bamboo lingered around the ears, dancing around, Li Zhi and Mrs. Wei Guo were a little bit drunk, and their behavior became more and more sloppy.

Outside the hall, Empress Wu quietly walked in surrounded by a group of maids and eunuchs, and heard the silk and bamboo music in the Xunfeng Hall from a distance, Empress Wu frowned, and her steps slowed down involuntarily.

An eunuch waiting outside the palace gate saw the queen coming and was about to announce in a sharp voice when Empress Wu suddenly raised a hand and stopped him sternly.

One step at a time, Empress Wu approached the gate of the palace slowly like a cat strolling, and then quietly looked into the palace.

It happened that Li Zhi was hugging Madam Wei, the two were so tightly stuck together that they couldn't be torn apart, Li Zhi was laughing wantonly while holding a wine cup in one hand, while Madam Wei, a little bird, was sticking to his arms , raised his head and looked at the man in front of him with admiration.

This scene fell in Empress Wu's eyes, like a sharp needle, deeply hurting her pupils.

Empress Wu's eyes narrowed, but her pretty face showed no expression, she just looked at everything in the hall with cold eyes.

Deep jealousy and a sense of crisis gradually hit her heart, and a cold light gradually appeared in Empress Wu's eyes.

She is not young anymore, she is almost 40 years old this year. In ancient times, people who were almost 40 years old could be regarded as one foot into the threshold of the elderly.

The older a woman is, the more fearful she is about the future, fearing that her husband will change his mind, fearing that her appearance will grow old, fearing that what she gains will eventually be lost.

She doesn't want to lose.

Li Zhi and Mrs. Wei's unrestrained appearance caught her eyes, as if she was silently telling her that her fear was not groundless, and that she would soon lose everything she had ever obtained, including the queen's position.

This is absolutely intolerable to her.

Even if you die, you can't lose it again.

The eyes looking into the hall gradually changed from cold to strong killing intent. Empress Wu's cold eyes stared fixedly at Mrs. Wei Guo who was beside Li Zhi.
