[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 8 mourning the death of 18

In October of the 17th year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin issued a decree to demote Li Tai, king of Wei, to be the king of Shunyang County, and the assassin of Junzhou, ordering him to leave Chang'an to take up his post at a certain date.

Li Tai's family didn't leave until after the Mid-Autumn Festival.Li Shimin couldn't bear to see his beloved son leave sadly. On the day Li Tai left, he asked Li Zhi to see him off on his behalf, while he stayed in the Temple of Manna and grieved silently.

After Li Tai left, His Majesty Li Er was depressed for a while, and left all the government affairs to Li Zhi, euphemistically saying: let the prince familiarize himself with the government affairs.

Now the major event in the court is that little brother Luo was beaten up again...

At the beginning, Li Xiaojiu didn't know the location of the three small states of Luo, Korea, and Baekje. After several days of supplementing knowledge of geography, humanities and history, Li Zhi just straightened out the triangular relationship between them.

In this incident, Baekje was the first to launch an attack, attacking more than [-] cities in Luo State, and then joined forces with Goryeo, directly blocking the road from Luo to Datang for help.When Zhengshitang received the news, it had already been a month since the incident happened. Dozens of cities in Luo had already been breached by the coalition forces of Baekje and Korea, so they could only form an alliance under the city.Taking advantage of the retreat of the two countries, Luo Cai sent people to Datang to ask for comfort and revenge.

As the Prime Minister of Zhengshitang, Changsun Wuji has a great say in this incident. Whether he fights or not, his words have a great influence on Li Shimin, let alone His Royal Highness Li Zhi, the prince of the country.

Therefore, Changsun Wuji was very cautious and did not express his opinion on this incident immediately.

Li Shiji, who is familiar with military affairs, has always been cautious, and it is impossible for him to express his opinion without getting more on-the-spot information.

Fang Xuanling, like Changsun Wuji, was also unskilled in military affairs, and his temperament was more cautious than Li Shiji's, so he kept silent.

The three main managers did not speak, and Chu Suiliang and others did not dare to say anything.

Li Zhi saw that there was no result from the discussion, so he could only temporarily suppress the matter. Apart from Bangzi's state affairs, there were many other matters waiting for him to deal with in the Tang Empire...

After all, Li Zhi was still an intern. He had been the king of leisure for more than ten years, and suddenly he became a prince. Not to mention that he himself was under great pressure, even his superior Li Er and his eldest granduncle were secretly impatient, wishing to overwhelm all the knowledge. It was all boiled into soup and poured into him in one go.

Li Zhi is under such internal and external oppression, he is so busy that he has to go to the Ganlu Hall every day to serve Tang Yao as a dutiful son, and to care for his father's physical and mental health at any time.

Fortunately, such hard times did not last long.

One day, during his illness, His Majesty Li Er heard his brother-in-law's private care and work report, suddenly raised the issue, angrily expressing that he would conquer Korea himself!

Nima!I just lay down and rested for a while, and you guys dare to bully brother and younger brother together? !

Then if Brother Zhenyi can't lie down anymore, why don't you bully my son? !

Tolerable or unbearable!

His Majesty Li Er was angry, and he called his son who was so busy that he didn't touch his feet, and said: "Son, you have worked hard, let's put the rest in advance, and come here...

Unexpectedly, a few days after His Majesty Li Er uttered his bold words, the person in Anren Hall suddenly became seriously ill...

His Majesty Li Er has no time to pretend to be melancholy and heroic, so he urgently urged the Imperial Hospital to treat Chengqian...

Just a little bit looser, Li Zhi immediately became busy again.

============================================================================================================================== ====================

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the 17th year of Zhenguan, and Xu Hui had been pregnant for more than five months, and her belly was obviously protruding, even a thick winter skirt could not cover it...

Every time Wu Xu sees such a little sister Xu, she can't help but want to stretch her claws...

"Ah Xu, I heard that...yours, you can feel the fetal movement, can you let me...touch it, hehe..." Wu Xu rubbed his paws, tentatively stretched out the other's stomach...

"Fetal movement?" It was rare for Xu Hui not to slap the opponent's paw, but instead said seriously: "This is a weird way of saying it, but it is vivid..."

Having been with Wu Xu for many years, Xu Hui is no stranger to some strange words and phrases that suddenly come out of her.

"Isn't it~~~~ I heard from the imperial doctor that the child can move after four months, and the more frequent the movement, the healthier it will be~~~~~~~" Wu Xu salivated, and Xiao Xu's sister touched her belly touch...

As a result, Wu Xu couldn't help being surprised that she didn't feel the fetal movement in the legend after touching it for a long time.

"Strange, why is there no movement? Are you still sleeping?"

Cui Shangyi couldn't stand it anymore, and said: "The weather is cold now, and the fetus doesn't like to move, so it's common for people to be unable to touch it..."

Wu Xu expressed her disappointment, and withdrew her hand in embarrassment: "It turned out to be like this..."

Xu Hui said with a smile: "This kid is very quiet, even I rarely feel his movement, so don't be depressed..."

"Sure enough, when it comes to winter, people are too lazy to move..." Wu Xu spread his hands, and changed the subject with a smile: "Nineteen Niang's class has also stopped, and I always stay in bed lately..."

Every year when winter comes, Li Mingda's homework will be suspended. This year, with Mr. Sun's armor to protect him, Wu Xu's heart is almost in his stomach, so he has time to go for a walk in Caisi Academy.

In the past, in the winter, Wu Xu would sleep in bed with little loli, but now that Xu Hui is pregnant, she would come to the palace from time to time to have a look and impart some scientific knowledge...

Every time Xu Hui heard Wu Xu complain about Li Mingda's little bad habits, he wanted to laugh.

"Nineteen Niangs stay in bed? Don't you just stay in bed?"

Wu Xu blushed immediately when she heard the words, and became angry from embarrassment: "I, how could I..."

Speaking of this, classmate Xiao Wu couldn't help wiping away bitter tears, thinking that she also came here at this time of year. At that time, she didn't have anything to do. There was no hot water for late mornings, no hot meals, How can I have the right to sleep late, what a pain...

Later, I followed the little loli, she was a turned serf and sang, eating when she wanted to, sleeping when she wanted to sleep...

I have forgotten the spirit of hard work and hard work back then!

Even Xu Hui knew that Wan Chundian, the accompanying female officer, was a half master...

"It seems that I am not as full of energy as you, Ah Wu..." Xu Hui said that it sounded like a joke, but it was the truth.

Even though she is the ninth concubine, Xu Hui's daily work and rest are still strictly regulated, when to wake up, when to eat, and when to go to bed, they all revolve around the saint...

Some time ago, His Majesty Li Er was sick, and all the famous concubines in the palace were arranged to attend to the sick, even Xu Hui, a protected animal, was no exception.

This kind of thing, not only can't be shirked, but you should be proud to be on the list, because this can prove that the sage knows you!

According to Wu Xu's knowledge, the concubines on the list this time are basically nine concubines and above, and there are only one Yang Jieyu, one Wei Jieyu and one Xiao Meiren below nine concubines.

Among these three people, Yang Jieyu is the cousin of Concubine Yan De, and she is also a cousin of Wu Xu himself, so she can be regarded as an ally.

Wei Jieyu doesn't need to popularize science, the beauty in the pink palace dress with Wang that day is a typical aristocratic daughter, and she is definitely not from their country by visual inspection;

Xiao Meiren was a concubine of His Majesty Li Er not long ago, and she is also a daughter of an aristocratic family, but she has some suspicions with Wei Jieyu, and it is currently impossible to determine her affiliation.

The three of them are Xu Hui's successors, the most recent favorite concubines in the palace, and they are the rivals in the womb of little sister Xu.

Wu Xu had heard Ling'er's gossip that among the three, Wei Jieyu was considered old and decrepit, so what should the other two girls be young and beautiful?

The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach...

Wu Xu feels a lot of pressure for little sister Xu!

But Xu Hui didn't care, now she really has a son and everything is done~~~~~

Wu Xu also knew that she was just worrying blindly.

It's just that, in the past, he would envy His Majesty Li Er's life as a winner, but now she would feel pity for such a cute and poor girl like Xiao Xu...

Why would such an almost perfect girl dedicate herself to death for a bad old man?

If she had her own child, would it change the established destiny?

Wu Xu stared at Xu Hui's stomach, then lost her mind again...

"Awu..." Xu Hui didn't understand why every time Wu Xu saw her stomach, her expression would turn from excited to slightly sad...

What is she worried about?

Is it because she is worried that she is too weak?

still is……

If it was someone else, maybe they would be more concerned about the gender of the child in her womb, even her mother is no exception, but Wu Xu has never had a tendency to worry about this aspect.

Wu Xu expressed amazement at her pregnancy more than once, and quietly asked Cui Shangyi about her childbirth safety more than once...

Wu Xu was worried that it was just her...

She knows all this.

Xu Hui lowered his eyes and took a sip of water.

Although she was pregnant and didn't go out much, she was always well informed.

Since the Royal Garden met the Crown Princess Wang last time, Xu Hui reported that Wei Jieyu had been in contact with Wang more and more frequently...

In addition, every time Wang entered the palace, he would go to Concubine Wei's Palace. Although Concubine Wei had always treated her with courtesy and did not reveal too many things in the palace, Wang still took advantage of her status to visit Concubine Wei's Palace. Got a lot of useful information from...

Like her, like Wu Xu...

It is not surprising that the Wang family has formed an alliance with Wei Jieyu to find out about her situation, but the Wang family has also paid close attention to Wu Xu's information, which makes Xu Hui have to be vigilant...

A woman's intuition is very accurate. Maybe Wang saw something, maybe she didn't, but it's obvious that she doesn't like Wu Xu!

"Recently, the princess always runs to the palace. Could it be that... that matter has already been figured out?" Wu Xu suddenly interrupted Xu Hui's meditation in a mysterious way.

"What?" Xu Hui didn't realize it for a moment, "Which thing are you referring to?"

"That's the thing..." Wu Xu poked Xu Hui lightly with her elbow, with an almost obscene smile on her beautiful face, "Draft, draft!!"

"A draft?" Xu Hui was at a loss when he heard the words, and it took him a long time to realize, "You mean the sage's selection of ladies for the East Palace?"

It turned out that two months ago, Chengqian suddenly became seriously ill and almost died. His Majesty Li Er and Li Zhi were desperate for life. Fortunately, Mr. Sun rushed back to the palace in time, and at least he rescued Chengqian. It can be concluded that if the disease recurs, there is no way to recover.

For the sake of his son's life, His Majesty Li Er had no choice but to have someone secretly send Chengqian to the Luoyang Hot Spring Palace to recuperate. He only said that the ex-East Palace members went to Qianzhou.

After Cheng Qian left, His Majesty Li Er lost Cheng Huan's two sons and several grandsons, and felt very lonely and sad at once.

Although the youngest son Li Zhi is by his side, he has no legitimate son so far, and Li Shimin can't help worrying.

Therefore, Li Shimin also privately mentioned to the fourth concubine that the selection of ladies for the East Palace should be put on the agenda, so that Concubine Wei and others began to formally meet the young ladies of each family.

"I heard from my cousin that there is a little lady who is very sagely, I don't know which one?" Wu Xu listened to Concubine Yan, but didn't ask carefully, so she had to pester Xu Hui.

"Which one else could it be, isn't it the Lanling Xiao family..." Xu Hui said lightly.

"What?! Concubine Xiao Shu?!" Wu Xu was shocked...

Well, Sister Xiao appeared~~~
