Li Zhien has been following Bai Qiaoqiao for so long, so he naturally knows what she is going to do. He held back his laughter and reached out to hold Zhang Tianai and said, "Sister, don't worry, now that you are going, your husband is really going to escape. Let's let your wife go, let us wait here."

Zhang Tianai hesitated for a moment and nodded. She was really afraid that Li Mu would run to Wang Ou. That fox charming boy was obviously over thirty years old and was so young. He was so evil that he was not a good person at first glance.

Bai Qiaoqiao also left as if she had escaped, but she didn't return in the middle of the night. Zhang Tianai was still waiting for a long time, but after waiting for two hours, she didn't see anyone. She was so sleepy that she fell asleep in a daze. When she woke up the next day, Bai Qiaoqiao appeared beside her. She suddenly felt a little strange in her heart, but she didn't know what was strange. She sat in a daze for a while and then got up.

Li Mu got up early too, and Zhang Tianai slipped into the front yard. He happened to see Li Mu coming out of the studio. The two of them collided with each other and looked at each other with guilt. They opened their eyes with guilt.

Li Mu was guilty and had been struggling with Bai Qiaoqiao for a long time yesterday, and I am afraid Zhang Tianai was aware of it. Zhang Tianai was worried about his relationship with Li Mu. He was so scared yesterday that he must be alienated. If he continued like this, how could he get married and how could he be a husband and wife?

"Do you... regret it?"

Zhang Tianai asked in a daze, which made Li Mu confused and asked in a daze: "What do you regret?"

"I regret promising to marry me as my fourth concubine."

"No, did I say it?" Li Mu looked at Zhang Tianai's appearance and suddenly understood. He stretched out his hand tentatively. Seeing that Zhang Tianai raised his leg and kicked it without conditioning, he took the courage to grab her hand. Zhang Tianai's body stiffened, and there was a subconscious move to pull his hand, but he tried hard to hold it up and didn't move.

Li Mu let out a long sigh and said, "That's right, you misunderstood my feelings."

"Um?"

"I, what do you think? You see, although we have been determined to live, we have not gotten married yet. If we sleep together like this, it will be harmful to your reputation."

Zhang Tianai hurriedly said, "I don't care."

"No, don't you care?" Li Muwan didn't expect that this would be the answer. He is worthy of being a woman in the frontier, and he is indeed heroic!

"But I care!" Li Mu said affectionately: "I marry you because I like you. You are my sweetheart. How can I allow myself to treat you at will? You have a father alive and I have a mother in the church. Such a marriage event is just a betrothal gift and a marriage letter, how can I do it?"

Zhang Tianai glanced at Li Mu suspiciously and said, "Isn't it true that I know my kindness--"

"That's different!" Li Mu explained seriously: "Zhien is Qiaoqiao's maid. There is a saying in the Central Plains called Tongfang maid, and there is no need for these complicated rules. Moreover, Zhien is a Goguryeo. According to her, her parents are no longer there. Even if she wants to pass the betrothal gift, she cannot do it."

"So that's how it is." Zhang Tianai nodded as she understood. Suddenly, she saw that her hand was still being pulled by Li Mu, so she quickly shyly said: "According to your words, we have not gotten married yet, so we can't hold hands for you."

"Yes, yes, yes..." The words were already out, and the wood was already ready and could not be taken back. Li Mu had to pinch his nose and admit it, and said, "It should be like this, then don't let it go..."

Zhang Tianai sighed again and said, "If I hadn't heard you, I wouldn't have known that Zhien had such a miserable life experience. Seeing that she was happy all day long, I thought she... for nothing, it was my negligence as my sister, so I would go to talk to her now."

Li Mu complained in his heart that you are obviously the latest in the house. You are the fourth concubine. Zhien is the second concubine. If you want to call him sister, you should call him sister. He is shameless and calls himself sister.

But if you think about it carefully, you can't blame her. Qiaoqiao also called her sister, and even called her sister Wang Ou. The rules she set on that day were the same as she didn't say, and it was a mess again.

Suddenly, Li Mu remembered something and blurted out: "Talk to Zhien, don't wake Qiaoqiao up and let her sleep for a while. She was tired last night."

"Hmm?" Zhang Tianai looked at Li Mu suspiciously and said, "Didn't Qiaoqiao apply medicine to you? Is it tiring to apply medicine?"

"Uh..." Li Mukababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababa

Zhang Tianai's face was even more suspicious, and his heroic eyebrows frowned. Suddenly, the gossip of the women in the village flashed in his mind. He suddenly understood what happened last night. A red cloud suddenly flew up his cheeks, and he glared at Li Mu fiercely, saying, "It's all you bad guy, you have taught Qiaoqiao badly! Ignore you!"

Seeing that the situation was over, Li Mu couldn't hide it anymore, so he just looked up and shouted at Zhang Tianai's back: "What's bad? When we get married, you will be ruined by me sooner or later-"

Zhang Tianai covered his ears and ran faster. Xiaozhu and Xiaolan walked past and secretly looked over. Li Muhu glared at him with a face. The two maids ran away laughingly and said, "It was so big last night, we all heard it!"

"What did you hear?" Li Mu shouted, "Stop it, let me stop, see if I won't punish you!"

The two of them ran faster, and they were not afraid at all. After being together for so long, although Li Mu always looked like a villain, he had never beaten his servants. Moreover, because of the last time, the matter of helping his servants redeem their relatives, they had long won the hearts of the people. The whole mansion treated him as a relative and did his best to do things. This fear became smaller.

"Boss, you're awake."

Li Chongyi came over, with no hangover on his face at all. The little wine he drank yesterday was nothing to him.

Li Mu grabbed his head and said, "You go to the whole team, and then take people to the Ministry of Works first, take the money, pass by the West Market, buy some food for the gentry, and don't be hungry. I'll wash up and eat breakfast before going."

Li Chongyi nodded and turned around and left. Li Mu came to Dugu Jiu's room door, knocked on the window, and shouted: "Don't pretend to be dead after drinking some wine, get up quickly, wash up and eat, you have something to do today!"

"knew--"

A girl's voice came from the room, and the ending sound came to an abrupt end. After a while, Dugu Jiu's usual voice came out, saying, "I understand, brother, wait a moment, come now."

Apparently putting on the mask again.

Li Mu laughed in silence, shook his head, and went to the kitchen by himself.

...

Tai Chi Hall.

Today is not a day for court discussion, but there are still many memorials. Li Shimin just started, yawning, eating porridge, and flipping memorials casually, looking listless.

No matter how literary and military morality is described in historical books, he is also alone, and he is only thirty-two years old. If he is a human, he will be lazy, and he is no exception.

Today, Li Shimin was very lazy. He wanted to be lazy, but this idea was swept through his mind and he denied it himself.

Only he himself knew how difficult his throne came. If there was a slight mistake in the sword light and sword shadow of Xuanwu Gate, he would die. Moreover, if he could not act like a person and prove his wisdom, the world's long and unrestrained words would not be able to curse him.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin finished drinking the porridge in a few gulps, waved his hand, and signaled Eunuch Gao to remove the bowls and chopsticks. He picked up the memorial in front of him and read it carefully.

After reading two or three books, Li Shimin suddenly frowned. Eunuch Gao served Li Shimin for twenty years and knew every small expression of Li Shimin. Seeing his appearance, he knew that this memorial was not simple. But he was not curious. As a eunuch, Eunuch Gao knew the right amount. It was also the decision of the great things that Your Majesty and the great masters in the court. He was a eunuch, and no one would listen to him even if he said it right. Since this is the case, it would be better not to say it.

Li Shimin watched it for a long time, spread the memorial on the table and said, "High-ranking officials,"

Eunuch Gao hurriedly agreed: "I'm here."

"The son of the Lord Gaochang came to Chang'an one step early. Did the bad guy report this matter?"

Eunuch Gao was confused and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I have not received the news!"

"Absurd!" Li Shimin slapped the table, scaring Eunuch Gao so much that he shivered and his head lowered.

"I don't know about such a big deal, but I have to write a letter to me in Chang'an County Magistrate. I know. After realizing it, what's the use of asking these bad guys?"

Eunuch Gao quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I deserve to die, it's all my fault. Please calm down your anger."

"You..." Li Shimin looked at Eunuch Gao who was kneeling on the ground, sighed, and said, "Forget it, this errand is not yours. You can take it temporarily. If you can't do it well, I can't blame you." After a pause, Li Shimin asked, "Is there any news about Yuan Tiangang recently?"

"Yes," replied Eunuch Gao; "I sent a letter back three days ago, just like the content of the letter seven days ago, but it still couldn't be found."

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "It has been two months since he went to Huining, and it's not too short. Since he hasn't found it for so long, I think I can't find it for a while. Let me write to him and ask him to come back. I still have some use for him and can't afford to delay it."

Eunuch Gao hurriedly responded: "No."

Li Shimin looked at him and said, "Get up too, go to Chang'an County Government and ask Wang Zhongyuan to see me. There are also the two Hu people, let him bring them together."

Hu people?

Eunuch Gao thought to himself, what is the connection with the Hu people? He didn't dare to ask, so he had to hide this doubt in his heart, thinking about going to Chang'an County Government and seeing what was going on.

Eunuch Gao responded and went out of the palace to pass the imperial edict. Li Shimin took the memorial again and read it from the beginning.

The county magistrate looks like a small official, but the county magistrate is also very different from the county magistrate. Chang'an and Wannian are important places in the capital. The county magistrates of these two counties are not the seventh rank, but the fifth rank.

The third rank can be the prime minister, and the fifth rank officials are rare in the court. Otherwise, Wang Zhongyuan would not be a county magistrate. The local county magistrate has no power to submit memorials to the emperor, but the Chang'an County magistrate has it. At the foot of the emperor, nothing is a big deal, and no mistake can be made.
