Crown Tang emperor

Li Guangshun's expression was gloomy and anxious: "I asked a few palace officials before, but they all said that they didn't know. That lady is just an ordinary messenger, or she was left somewhere. I, I want to ask you to come and meet with me." Your Majesty, please ask your Majesty to tell the palace officials of the Zhiyuan to look for her."

Li Tong saw Li Guangshun's earnest and cautious attitude, but his brows were full of sadness. It was obvious that this maid who was just a wonderful cook to him and Li Shouli had extraordinary meaning to Li Guangshun.But just looking for a lost maid is not a big deal, so why did Li Guangshun ask the two of them to go and tell Fang?

The memories left in his mind failed to clear up Li Tong's confusion. The original young Li Shouyi seemed a little slow to deal with personnel disputes in his family.

"It's not a big deal, why bother your empress. It's boring right now, let's ask the palace officials together."

Li Tong stood up after speaking, not only for this matter, he also wanted to see what kind of person the female officer who arranged to be in charge of the affairs of the Ren Zhiyuan was like.

Li Shouli knew that there was nothing wrong with it, and he also stood up when he heard the words.However, Li Guangshun was embarrassed to say that he had encountered a soft nail in the head of the courtyard just now. He and Li Shouli were two extremes, with delicate and sensitive thoughts, and he couldn't let go of his words and deeds even in front of his two brothers.

Hearing Zheng Jin's rambling before, Li Tong already knew something about the family's personnel.When his father Li Xian lived in the East Palace in the past, His Royal Highness was also very popular, but later he was abolished and imprisoned, and the servants were dismissed. After several years of confinement in Chang'an, he was sent to Bazhou. Not long after he settled in Bazhou, Li Xian was forced to commit suicide. Afterwards, the remaining family members were escorted back to Luoyang, and there are very few Donggong elders left.

There are still two female historians who served the East Palace in the past beside the concubine Fang, and Li Shouli's biological mother Zhang Liangyuan and Li Tong's nanny Zheng Jin are one of them. Use two people.In addition, there are seven bureaucrats, servants, women and eunuchs who donated in Bazhou in the old year. They only did rough labor, and there was probably no place to place them, so they have been kept.

Right now, Ren Zhiyuan is busy sweeping and sweeping nearly a hundred palace maids and eunuchs, all of whom are not old people, but arranged by the ban.Speaking of which, these palace people did not obey the orders of Li Tong's family, and they were managed by the female officer in charge of the courtyard.

The imperial palace also has an official rank structure compared to the outer court. The emperor's concubines belong to the imperial concubine, and they also have the authority to take charge of palace affairs.But right now even the emperor Li Dan can only live in seclusion, and his concubines are naturally just a fake.At present, those who are directly in charge of palace affairs are mainly the female officials of the Six Shang and 24 Divisions.

These female officials are mainly responsible for palace affairs, and belong to a different system from the female officials waiting for edicts in Shangyang Palace, such as Shangguan Wan'er.The female officials of Shangyang Palace are not custom-made, they are just a team of Wu Zetian who is in power, similar to the emperor's secretary and provincial officials.

Renzhiyuan is located at the left rear of the courtyard, with a living room as the straight hall and two rows of corridors, with warehouses on one side and residences on the other.

When Li Tong stepped into the hall, his face sank slightly, because he found that the furnishings in this hall were much more elegant than his hall.

Large screens with a width of more than ten feet on both sides are placed in the hall. The screens are made of colored yarn and silk, and the carved sandalwood is used as the skeleton.Two incense burners with simple shapes are placed in an inconspicuous place in the hall, and the cigarettes are steaming, filling the room with fragrance.There are also some exquisite and beautiful small ornaments, which decorate the hall with a noble air, which is far different from the plainness of my own room, even Fang's residence is far inferior.

Of course, for Li Tong, who is still trying to adapt to this era, these are small details that don't need to be bothered at the moment.But what he cared about was that just after the family moved to Renzhiyuan, the hall of the female officer in charge was decorated far more stylishly than their residence, which showed that the female official in charge did not take their family seriously, even this The contempt is not concealed at all, just put it out so clearly!

When he saw the appearance of the female official sitting in the main hall, Li Tong's eyes turned cold again.Not long after he came to this world, he didn't see many people, and he happened to have seen this female official, the female official named Xu Dian who chased his aunt Fang Shi in the corridor behind the Fifth Hall yesterday.

Seeing the three kings entering side by side, Mrs. Xu, the female officer in charge, was a little surprised and embarrassed for a while, but soon her expression returned to normal. Zhizhong, in order not to neglect the nobles, he is busy with rectification and has no time to worship the king, etc. I hope the three kings will forgive me for being rude. I don’t know if the king can give you some advice?"

"You don't need to be too polite to palm straight. We came with the eldest brother to ask. There is a maid in my family, Zhu Niang, who has not been admitted to the hospital yet. Come and check, is it possible that the palace guides can't find it?"

Li Shouli's eyes were uneasy, and he didn't notice that the two brothers beside him looked a little unnatural. He paced the hall, and soon saw a backgammon set on the table.When they walked in just now, the woman was cleaning the chess set and didn't have time to put it away.

Seeing Lie Xinxi, he walked up to touch the exquisite chess set and said, "I used to have a pair of ivory chess set, but unfortunately I lost it long ago when I moved to the house. You can do it now, brother and I will borrow you this chess set for a while." Play a game, hurry up, the empress will look for me later, but there is no time to wait for you."

While speaking, he had already sat down, patting the clean chessboard with his hands, and beckoned the two brothers to sit down for a game, unaware that the female officer with the straight hand was already trembling with anger.

Chapter 0016

Living in the confinement is bound to be boring, especially for a high-ranking palace official like Xu Dian, who doesn't have to do his own work, so he naturally wants to find some leisurely entertainment.

Among all leisure plays, Xu Dian loves Shuanglu the most. This set of chess is her favorite thing. Even if she doesn’t usually play chess, she likes to clean it in her free time. Now she sees Li Shouli sitting in her place and slapping the chess pieces casually. Ping, already distressed and annoyed to the extreme.If it wasn't for the thick fat on his face that covered his real complexion, he would have been ashen by now.

Li Tong saw this scene in his eyes, and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.Yesterday he saw that the female official had a bad attitude towards Fang Shi, and today he saw the hall layout like this, so he didn't like her very much.But for a while, he really couldn't find a way to retaliate. Seeing Li Shouli's appearance of inadvertently angering the other party, holding back but not daring to attack, he couldn't help but feel a lot of evil, and he was quite happy.

"It turns out that this is what the king ordered. Just now, King Le'an has already ordered it, and the concubine has asked people to ask outside, but there is no news yet."

Although he was extremely angry in his heart, Xu Dian could only hold back.Although she didn't care about the neglected King Yong's family, she didn't dare to contradict them in full view.In particular, Fang Taifei was punished yesterday because of unfavorable supervision, causing self-injury and breaking out of the prison.

She replied as she stepped forward, wanting to take back the cherished chess set without leaving a trace, and said: "The Zhitang is just a humble place for palace servants and servants. The three kings are precious, so how can they live in a dirty place for a long time. Please, my lord." Move your honor back to the palace, and as soon as there is news, I will immediately order someone to report to the king."

This was obviously just an excuse to deal with, Li Tong also walked up the hall, and said with a smile: "The palm is too straight, how can there be a trace of filth in the fragrance of Dexin room here? Zhu Niang is just an ordinary servant girl in the eyes of others, but I have been serving him for a long time, and I am already close to my confidant. I can’t feel at ease when I don’t see her return, so I simply wait here for a while, and then I don’t bother to tell him.”

That Xu Dian knew that King Yong'an was strange, when he saw him walk in, he took a step back subconsciously, when he saw that King Yong'an was really going to sit and play chess with King Yong, he became more anxious for a while.

The woman didn't dare to disobey the king, but it didn't mean she had no choice. After pondering for a moment, she suddenly covered her face and howled dryly: "The old woman is stupid. She has been in the university for more than ten years. She has always worked hard. Seeing the evil three great kings everywhere, do you want to be reprimanded like this? Please tell the king clearly the crime. If the concubine is really guilty, I dare not cover up my ugliness and ask for help... The king is majestic, and the concubine dare not touch it, so I can only ask the concubine to expel me from the hospital ..."

The woman howled suddenly, Li Tong and the other three were a little dumbfounded, but there were still many palace people coming and going outside the straight hall, and they all looked at her after hearing the sound.

Li Guangshun was the most cautious, and he was also worried that the maid would never return due to excessive persecution, and he was also worried that the situation would cause trouble to the family.He saw the woman covering her face and weeping as she rushed out of the hall, hurriedly stepped forward to stop her: "Speaking bluntly is too serious, my brother only cares about his loyal servants, and he doesn't see the slightest responsibility for his duties..."

When the woman heard the words, her mournful voice became louder, and she showed no sign of letting go.

Li Tong in the hall really opened his eyes, he didn't expect this shrew to be so tough, she would explode at the touch of a finger, he also knew how difficult it would be for his family's situation to improve a little, if he was made such a fuss, he didn't know what kind of danger would arise, so he hurriedly He gave Li Shouli a hand, motioning for him to get up and walk out.

At this moment, a lot of people had gathered in the front porch. Seeing this, Li Tong pointed at the woman who was still covering her face and howled angrily, and said angrily: "Evil woman, you are worthy of diligence? If you really have a sense of responsibility, Why did the imperial concubine spill blood yesterday? My aunt is still in pain, and you, a lowly slave, are still shamelessly sitting in the middle hall! Today, I am warning you, if you don’t know how to serve the medicine in the afternoon, you will kill your mother’s revenge Repay the dead!"

He could see that this woman was so proficient at rolling around, even if they left now, they still didn't know how to arrange their three kings to bully her behind their backs.Now that it's clear that it's unreasonable, there's no need to say anything more. First, let's determine the nature of the matter at hand. They came here to avenge their aunt Fang's.

If you admire filial piety, people are inherently good.In this way, even if they make trouble in Shangyang Palace, they are not afraid of being framed by this woman's tongue-wagging.No matter how much Wu Zetian didn't want to see their family, there was still some blood connection after all, and it was impossible for their brothers to punish them because they sought revenge for their mother and cover up a low-level female official who was already at fault.

Sure enough, after hearing Li Tong's scolding, the woman stopped crying suddenly, and fell to the ground with a plop. She saw her hair bun hit the ground heavily, stirring up a cloud of misty makeup powder: " The concubine's dereliction of duty has hurt the concubine, and she is terrified to die. Don't you know that she is guilty of the crime? The secretary is seizing my code to punish the crime. The concubine can't forgive herself, so she kowtows to the Zhiren Zhiyuan, and is willing to respect the concubine's honor and support with all her efforts. Ankang. Just because I moved to the courtyard for the first time, everything was too busy to get out, which caused the king to misunderstand and complain, and the crime of the concubine is even deeper. I beg the king to be patient for a while, and the affairs of the court will be settled later.

Hearing this conversation, Li Shouli realized that his mother's injury was actually related to this vicious woman in front of him, and he was immediately enraged, and wanted to step forward to beat and punish her.When Li Tong saw this, he pulled Li Shouli to stop him, and for the time being he was still deterring the female official. Once more violent punishments were imposed to make things worse, it would hardly change the current bad situation of his family.

"Remember what you said at this moment, if there is still a lack of service in the future, be careful of your dog's life!"

Li Tong said another harsh word, then pulled Li Shouli back and gave Li Guangshun a wink, and the three of them left the courtyard.

After walking a certain distance, Li Tong said to Li Guangshun apologetically, "Brother, I didn't expect things to come to this point. It seems that we can only think of ways to find Zhu Niang."

Li Shouli was a little puzzled when he heard the words: "That wicked woman hurting my mother is already a serious crime, Xunnu, you won't let me teach her a lesson, how dare she neglect to find Zhuniang? Aren't you afraid of being punished again?"

"No, although that woman is disgusting, she is still an official under the ban. If my family punishes her by lynching, there may be serious troubles or unexpected disasters. As for Zhu Niang, alas, I can only find other ways Go find it."

Li Guangshun looked worried. He was more aware of his current situation than Li Shouli. Now that his family has been reunited and moved to the Renzhi Institute, it seems that the situation has improved, but in fact it is just another prison, and he is still not free. , not even being able to freely enter and leave the compound.

Although the female officer in charge was humble, she was actually their jailer.It was just now that this person acted violently, and was frightened by Li Tong with his mother's injury, but he also completely offended the other party.As long as the other party guarantees that they will not make mistakes in serving in the future, they don't have to fear their revenge.

Because just now, although the woman appeared humble and pitiful in her weeping posture, she also pointed out in her words that she has been punished for her negligence in taking care of Fang's disadvantages, but she has only been demoted from a pawn to the director of the Renzhiyuan.Even if they hold on to this point, they can't do anything to the woman at all.

Li Tong's heart was quite heavy right now, and he just let Li Guangshun explain the pros and cons to Li Shouli.As Li Guangshun said, although the women's arrogance is temporarily dampened, their situation has not changed in essence and they are still in prison.And because of this dispute, they have completely torn face with the female officer in charge, and they have to guard against the other party's retaliation against them in the future.

The dangers of the human heart and the indifference of the world make it impossible to be optimistic.It should be noted that they were detained and interrogated separately just because of an informant letter hidden in a copper box.

Right now, the Institute of Renzhi is a prison, and only Mrs. Xu, the head of the family, holds the power to communicate with the outside world. If she holds a grudge, she will continue to send out unfavorable messages to them. The so-called accumulation and destruction of funds, how much slander they can bear attack?

So, be sure to solve this trouble as soon as possible!

But now, the means they can use are really limited, even if Fang's injury is involved, it is only a demotion, and they turn around and take charge of supervising them.Li Tong wasn't even sure if this arrangement was a deliberate arrangement made by the upper-level palace officials after observing Wu Zetian's wishes.

Even if they lynched each other under the pretext of revenge for their mother, if Wu Zetian felt that his wishes were being resisted, the torture inflicted on them would only be worse.

Thinking of this, Li Tong couldn't help feeling dizzy. This is really not the life he wants!When others travel through time, they will either seek the country and power, engage in scheming, or farm and make steel, and develop insignificantly, just waiting for the right time to kill all directions.

However, although he is currently at the core of the empire's power, any power has nothing to do with him, and he has to think hard and think hard about countermeasures because of the threat of a wicked woman.

Soon, the three of them returned to the front house.As for the fact that they provoked Mrs. Xu after entering, the concubine Mrs. Fang already knew about it, and when they came back, she brought them in front of her and questioned them.

Li Guangshun felt that this matter was caused by him, and quickly kowtowed to admit his mistake. Seeing that he was humble and pitiful, Li Tong stepped forward and replied: "Even if there is no elder brother, Mrs. Xu should not let it go easily. She will bully her up and humiliate her mother." , and now he is in charge of the affairs of the court, even if there is no such thing as today, he must be full of evil thoughts towards my family."

Mrs. Fang sighed after hearing the words: "How could I not know about this matter, but the family situation has fallen to this point, I only hope that your brothers can live in peace, and I really don't want to have any more troubles."

Speaking of this, she gave Li Guangshun who was kneeling on the ground without saying a word a hard look: "Wang is the eldest in the family, I don't expect you to be able to take care of the family business, but it shouldn't be difficult to take good care of the two brothers? You But because a servant girl instigates troubles among brothers, is this what an elder brother should do?"

After Li Guangshun heard the words, he just burst into tears and kowtowed to plead guilty. Li Tong couldn't bear to see that appearance, and Li Shouli also stepped forward and said: "This matter really has nothing to do with the elder brother. The wicked woman harmed my mother. Now that I know How can I make her comfortable, sooner or later she will be punished!"

Li Tong also stepped forward to persuade a few more words, and Fang could only sigh sadly: "You brothers are in harmony, and the family is always lucky. Forget it, you go back and reflect on yourself, I don't want to see you again!"

Hearing this, Li Guangshun burst into tears again, kowtowed and withdrew, that lonely gesture made people feel pitiful.Li Tong also noticed that Fang's attitude towards him was indifferent, and he was far from being close to him and Li Shouli.

Fang's family has nothing to do with them, so naturally he can't say what he likes or dislikes his brothers. Why is he so indifferent to Li Guangshun, which makes him curious.

Chapter 0017

After leaving Fang's residence, Li Tong dragged Li Shouli to comfort Li Guangshun.

Li Guangshun's eyes were still red, and he apologized to them again and again.This gesture convinced Li Tong that this elder brother must bear far greater worries than he and Li Shouli, and he would not even be able to get the intimacy of his aunt.

Back at his residence, there was still some time before dark, so Li Tong called Zheng Jin and asked, "I saw that my mother is very strict with my eldest brother, does my aunt know why?"

When Zheng Jin heard this, he expressed emotion: "Da Lang is also a poor person, his mother is too heartless, she doesn't want to share the misfortune with her family, and she even abandons her own unborn child, which is quite contrary to the supreme character kind……"

Following Zheng Jin's rambling, Li Tong understood the reason.It turned out that Li Guangshun's biological mother chose to evict herself from the mansion when Li Xian was deposed, and she did not want to stay and share the joys and sorrows with her family.

There is no lack of human considerations in the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty. Even if it is a heinous crime, it also adheres to the principle that family members cannot be harmed.As long as evidence that has nothing to do with the crime can be provided, even close relatives such as parents and brothers can be exempted from punishment.

Of course, the law is one aspect, and the execution is another aspect, especially in the era of cruel officials who were in power after Empress Wu, Zhou Xing, Lai Junchen and other cruel officials were framed, lest the case would not cause a big problem, the criminal laws of the Tang Dynasty were simply a joke.

For example, Gao Shilian's grandson Gao Qi was involved in the rebellion case of the former prince Li Xian last year, and was ordered by Emperor Gaozong to return home and commit suicide.Gao Shilian is the eldest grandson Wuji's uncle, and his family has been implicated in the eldest grandson Wuji's rebellion case. He was terrified to see such a thing again. After Gao Qi returned home, he was killed by his father and brother together. The ferocious attitude made people look sideways.

As for Li Guangshun's biological mother's request to leave the mansion, according to what Zheng Jin said, it was specially approved by Empress Wu.The reason for this, after thinking about it for a while, Li Tong understood that his father Li Xian was quite famous when he was the prince, and even a case of treason would hardly dispel his popularity.

Empress Wu was about to suppress Li Xian at that time, even if she was as close as a concubine, she was unwilling to stay in the same room with a rebellious and unfilial sinner like Li Xian. Wu Zetian was happy to see it succeed, which is also understandable.

But it can be seen that although Wu Zetian was unfeeling towards his son, he did not want others to let him down, especially when choosing an heir for Li Xian, he abandoned Li Guangshun, the eldest son, and chose Li Shouli, and even Li Guangshun was tortured to death. The aftertaste afterward.Even when changing the names of the grandchildren, Li Guangshun was deliberately excluded.

After learning this, Li Tong also had a deeper understanding of the relationship between his family members.Li Guangshun's mother still had to ask for help when the catastrophe was approaching, which was in stark contrast to her biological mother, Shen Shi, who died in love and followed her.

Fang family loves Li Xian very much, and whoever has true love for Li Xian will naturally treat his son more kindly. It is no wonder that Fang Shi is willing to commit suicide to see himself to ensure safety, but he is so cold and mean to Li Guangshun.

However, Li Tong also understood that the act of his biological mother's death for love probably also did not suit Wu Zetian's wishes.One reflects Wu Zetian's ruthlessness as a mother, and the other may make Wu Zetian reminisce about the past.

In the later period of Tang Taizong, there were two well-known concubines, one was naturally Wu Zetian, and the other was Xu Hui.Xu Hui probably entered the palace at the same time as Wu Zetian, and was also named a talented person. However, unlike Wu Zetian who was neglected and unknown at that time, Xu Hui was loved by Tang Taizong, his status was promoted, and he mourned until the death of Tang Taizong. He refused to use medicine, and eventually followed Tang Taizong, was chased as a concubine and buried in Zhaoling.

Xu Hui's deeds are in stark contrast to Wu Zetian's. For a daughter-in-law like Xu Hui's, Shen's, Wu Zetian naturally doesn't like it.What's more irritating is that Li Tong's biological mother, Shen Shi, and Xu Hui are both from Jiangnan Huzhou, that is, Wu Xing, so it is even more inevitable that they will be compared.

If Li Tong knew that Wu Zetian's evaluation of his mother was "a foolish woman in a humble village, death is not a pity", he should know that his psychological grasp of Wu Zetian is quite accurate.However, he naturally has no way of knowing this, but he can also understand the records related to Prince Zhang Huai's family in later generations. Apart from the concubine Fang, only Li Shouli's biological mother, Zhang, survived. This probably has something to do with Wu Zetian's personal likes and dislikes.

Knowing this, it only dispelled a doubt in my heart.What was really in front of him was the threat posed by the straight Xu family.This matter must be resolved as soon as possible, and when it dragged on for a long time, Li Tong felt a sense of crisis when he thought that there was always an unkind gaze around him watching his diet and daily life.

Fang's family is cautious, and he doesn't want to cause troubles. The eldest brother Li Guangshun is also cautious and self-pitying, while the second brother Li Shouli, let's not mention him.No matter how you look at it, the only reliable person in the family right now is Li Tong himself, so this matter can only be handled by him.

Sitting in the room and meditating for a long time, Li Tong ordered the maidservants to prepare paper and ink. Calligraphy is one of his hobbies in later generations, and he has more than ten years of amateur skills, and he learned something that is more friendly to amateurs. Yan style regular script, although not a master, but it is not timid.

Li Tong sketched on the paper while thinking about it, and what he wrote was a food list.Before he fought for the project director of Folk Street, he did a lot of data collection, including food.Sui and Tang diets, especially noble diets, have a very important document, which is Wei Juyuan's burnt tail banquet menu during Tang Zhongzong Li Xian's period.

Li Tong is no stranger to this, and quickly wrote more than 30 dishes that belonged to the Shaowei Banquet menu.When the ink was dry, he called Zheng Jin and said: "Send this food list to Zhitang. There is still a custom of warming houses when housewarming. My new home is Renzhiyuan, so I should express my opinion."

Zheng Jin didn't doubt that there was him, and after hearing the words, he put away the food list and went straight to the backyard to throw it to Zhangzhi Xu.

At this moment, Mrs. Xu has recovered her previous calmness. She has just returned from the former dormitory concubine.The concubine's attitude towards her was fair, but she didn't apologize for the third son's humiliation, she just asked her to concentrate on the court affairs and not have to come to serve her.

Naturally, this is not enough to dispel the resentment in Xu's heart. Concubine Fang's self-injury has caused her to be demoted from Dianshi to Zhangzhi, and it is a place destined to be neglected like Renzhiyuan. This is probably similar to being demoted from the center of Taiwan to a remote place. In the prefectures and counties, both the authority and benefits have been greatly reduced, which is already a feud.

Not to mention that the three troubled kings dared to face her humiliation in front of many palace servants, Xu's heart naturally had deeper grievances.When Zheng Jin arrived, she was re-wiping the beloved chess set that was slapped by King Yong. When Zheng Jin said that she wanted to warm up the house, she sneered even more in her heart. .

When she opened the food list and saw the delicacies listed on it, Mrs. Xu couldn't help but sneer even more. She just thought that this family was really stupid and ridiculous.

She originally planned to ignore the food list, but after a second thought, she still called a female historian and asked her to send it to the dining room of the Forbidden City.What happened just now also made her realize that although King Yong's family is in danger, she is not an ordinary female official who can disobey her face to face at will.

There is still a long time in the future, and she has a lot of opportunities to take revenge on the other party, and she doesn't have to rush to make things difficult right now.The dishes on the menu are all precious and extravagant, far from being qualified for the King Yong's family right now, the catering department will naturally refuse to let the family realize their pitiful situation, and there is no need for her to be a bad person.

But after the food order was sent out, more than an hour later, the catering office actually delivered the meals. Most of the dishes were complete, only some that took too long or the ingredients were not ready, but they also compensated for other categories. Similar dishes.

This unavoidably made the Xu family startled and suspicious, wondering if the situation of King Yong's family had changed for the better?

Before she was demoted, she was just an ordinary matter in the 24th division, and the information channels she could get access to were really limited, and her contempt for King Yong's family was only based on what she knew in the past.The hospitality expressed by the catering staff immediately made her a little uncertain about the situation of King Yong's family.

Suspicious in her heart, Xu did not dare to be arrogant again, and ordered the palace servants to send these meals to the front house, and even went there in person.

It was already time for dinner, and the whole family gathered in the inner hall next to Fang's residence.Li Tong also met his younger sister, Li Youniang. This seven-year-old girl is pretty and cute, but she is not in good health. The torment for a while before made her panic, because her face was thin and her eyes were big. , black and white are distinct, but the eyes are full of timidity, and they are not as lively as children should be, which makes people feel pitiful.

Li Shouli is currently playing tricks to make his younger sister happy. The previous incident affected the whole family, including this younger sister.However, Li Shouli was still cheerful and ignorant, showing off his throwing skills developed during the period of confinement at the banquet, using paper twisted into small balls to point where to hit, it is said that even flying mosquitoes and flies are sure to hit every time.

Li Tong watched Li Shouli show off cheerfully, and occasionally made a fool of himself, which made the hall burst into laughter. Even Li Guangshun, who was forcefully pulled out by him to attend, no longer had a sad face, and occasionally clapped and cheered.And that little girl, Li Youniang, smiled like a flower, her face full of surprise and admiration commensurate with her age.

It can be seen that heartlessness is not useless. With Li Shouli, a naturally optimistic relative who drives the atmosphere, the family can still enjoy a moment of joy in this dangerous situation with an uncertain future.

But not without exceptions, Li Shouli's biological mother, Mrs. Zhang, was sitting at the banquet, looking at her own flesh and blood, with no joy on her face, and even wanted to scold Li Shouli for deliberately making a fool of herself several times, but she was always stopped by Fang's gaze.But it can still be seen that Mrs. Zhang is out of tune with the relaxed atmosphere in the hall.

Not long after, Mrs. Zhangzhi Xu had already led the palace people into it, first greeted the concubine and the three kings, and then graciously ordered the palace people to serve meals.Mrs. Fang was originally surprised by Mrs. Xu's change of attitude, but after seeing such a sumptuous meal, she couldn't help being surprised. After hearing Zheng Jin's words, it was the custom of Li Tong to prepare the food list to warm the house, Mrs. Fang's eyebrows Shu Zhan looked at Li Tong with a softer gaze: "Anu really has a heart, and I will live up to you..."

Li Shouli didn't care about other things, seeing the table full of delicacies, he didn't wait for others to lift his chopsticks, he was already eating.In his words, the food in the past few days was simple, and it had been a long time since he had eaten a delicious meal.

To be able to express one's suffering in a nondescript way is a gift in itself.But when Li Tong heard it, he felt even more the pity of the family.

He and this family don't have any blood-thicker-water kinship right now, but it is precisely because of the existence of these people that he will not be alone and isolated in the treacherous front tide of the Wuzhou Revolution , It also deepened the determination to change the situation and destiny of the family.

Chapter 0018 Domineering Zongwang

There is a reason why Wei Juyuan's burnt tail banquet menu can be highly respected by the old gourmets for thousands of years, and it is regarded as a representative of the diet and luxury of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Li Tong had a great time eating this meal, as did the other family members.Even Zhang Liangyuan, who had always been gloomy, relaxed a lot after the meal.

The younger sister, Li Youniang, moved closer to Li Tong's side, and asked in a low voice, "Third brother, can we warm up again tomorrow?"

Seeing the sick and haggard face of the little lady, Li Tong ignored Li Shouli's big face behind him, which was also full of eagerness, and raised his hand with a napkin to wipe off the oil from the corners of the little lady's mouth, and said with a warm smile, "There is only one warm house, unless there is another time." Move to a new house. But my young lady is so gentle and obedient, brother can’t let her suffer from hunger. Whichever meal you like, just let someone prepare it tomorrow."

When the little lady heard this, her brows and eyes frowned immediately, and she lay down on the food table to write down the delicious meals she thought, but she couldn't make a choice and frowned slightly in worry.

Mrs. Zhangzhi Xu has been running around in the hall to serve. Hearing the conversation between the brothers and sisters, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "It is the duty of a concubine to serve food and drink. Your Majesty only needs to..."

Xu's laughter stopped abruptly, and she fell to the ground screaming. It turned out that Li Tong directly threw the food table leftovers on her body.
