Luoyang Palace, Mingtang.

Wu Zetian knelt cross-legged and sat on the upper head.

Li Xian on the left lowered his head and said nothing.

Li Lingyue on the right side played with her sleeves in a mess.

It was very quiet here, and everyone around was shut out.

Only after a eunuch took a careful step, he fell to the ground, and claimed: "His Highness the King of Xiang has arrived."

The three people in the hall then raised their eyes, and Wu Zetian's face could not hide his joy.

Even Li Xian and Li Lingyue were moved.

Immediately afterwards, the Prime Minister Li Dan walked over, and the old man who had just entered the city. Judging from his appearance, he was indeed somewhat similar to Li Xian, but although he was younger than Li Xian, his face was much older. This was not a kind of old age that time urged people. He walked in step by step and fell to the ground: "My son Li Dan, I have seen the Queen Mother..." When he said this, his voice was already choked.

Wu Zetian looked at him silently, his eyes blurred. He obviously didn't recognize this son very much. He had been to Luoyang a few years ago, but the King of Xiang at that time was still full of energy, but now he is old and has no longer been angry.

Wu Zetian got up in person, stepped forward and trembled and helped him up: "It's a family meeting today, so there is no need to be too polite."

Li Dan stood up and contacted Wu Zetian's eyes. Tears in his eyes were already thrusting out. He shivered with his jaw and said, "My son is guilty of death and cannot serve his mother...My son..."

Wu Zetian just looked at him kindly and didn't say a word.

Li Xian followed him and Li Dan saw him. He hurriedly said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince..."

Li Xian seemed a little hesitant and said, "The emperor is older than before."

Only Li Lingyue was there, pouting with her sleeves, and refused to make a sound.

Li Dan settled Wu Zetian and helped her sit down again. Then he arrived in front of Li Lingyue and said, "Emperor sister..."

Li Lingyue smiled, her eyes arched, and her long eyelashes covered her eyes. She lowered her head to Li Dan and said, "The emperor's brother has been working hard all the way, it's very hard."

Li Dan shook his head and said, "I was a little anxious on the road. When I was in Jizhou, I heard that my mother had contracted a small disease and was worried..."

Li Lingyue nodded and said, "The emperor is really filial."

Then they each sat down. Li Dan knelt on Li Xian's lower head.

Wu Zetian cried with joy, and said, "It's a good time. Today... our family finally got together. There is no one in this world that is closer than our family. Oh, come and call tea and let Dan'er get tired."

Immediately afterwards, the palace servant came in and brought tea cups.

A cup of hot princess tea was placed on the tables in front of Li Dan. Li Dan looked at the tea and smiled suddenly and said, "Princess tea is famous. Everyone in Jizhou loves it, and it is suitable for all ages. I am in Jizhou and I also love to drink princess tea."

He paused and said, "I heard that the person who made this tea is named Qin Shaoyou. Soon he became the son-in-law of his son. This person is really a genius. I am in Jizhou and I still admire him. I really hope to see him."

The relationship between Qin Shaoyou and him is probably more from Li Longji. No one in the world knows that Li Longji was killed by Qin Shaoyou. However, when Li Dan talks about Qin Shaoyou, there is no slight indignation. He said that he wanted to see Qin Shaoyou, but his tone was full of sincerity.

When Li Lingyue heard this, she seemed to have a better impression of him, the emperor. She smiled and said, "You can't see him. He is like a mud-legged person every day, hiding in Mengjin, going up and down the river, and even I don't want to see him."

Li Dan smiled and said with a smile: "The emperor's sister is about to marry, so I'll never see her for the time being."

This sentence caused Wu Zetian to smile. Li Lingyue was sometimes ridiculous and too spoiled, so she didn't know anything about it.

Li Lingyue had no choice but to put on a cute expression and lower her head.

Li Dan had already raised the teacup and drank a sip of princess tea. The tea water dripped quietly from the tip of his tongue into his lungs. He raised his eyes suddenly, as if he was infected by the tea inscription, and his turbid eyes couldn't help but have a glory.

"What a good tea. The princess tea in Jizhou is always poorly stored because it is transported along the way. The taste is always lacking. Although the aroma is not diminished, it does not have such fragrance."

If we talked about it at the beginning, everyone only said that his love for Princess Tea was just a lip service, but now everyone knows that he is also a tea lover. Not only that, I believe that like most people, they have already drunk some experience.

Wu Zetian sighed quietly and said, "You are suffering in Jizhou."

Li Dan shook his head freely, looked at Wu Zetian, and said, "At the beginning, my sons did not dare to deceive each other. It was indeed a little harder, but gradually, it settled down. Jizhou naturally did not need Luoyang, but I was there, doing what I like, without restraint. Occasionally, I also invited some great scholars to the mansion to give advice. Sometimes I had tea, but I gradually liked it. At most, it was late at night. I missed Luoyang. I thought of not being able to serve my mother and third brother, and not being able to look at my own girls. I couldn't help feeling sad."

At this time, Li Xian suddenly said, "I miss my brother very much."

His words were abrupt, but Li Xian was usually such a person who was not good at speaking, but sometimes he wanted to speak, but he couldn't help but blurt out a few "don't words".

Li Lingyue chuckled and said, "The prince misses the fourth brother, don't he miss me?"

Li Xian was stunned and could not handle the joke.

Li Dan hurriedly rescued Li Xian and said, "Emperor sister, don't talk about the prince. The prince's brother and sister are only in his heart. He is not good at speaking, but he is much deeper than you and me."

Lee Hsin was ashamed and hurriedly said yes.

Wu Zetian seemed to be a little tired and said, "Dan'er just came back. I... I'm not in good health. Since you are here, don't go to Jizhou again. I'll travel through mountains and rivers. I think there are a lot of hard work. I'll just live in the palace these days. I've asked someone to clean up a palace garden and come out. You can have a bed. In a few days, your girl will get married. But you, the elder brother, have to work harder."

Originally, there was also a Prime Minister's Mansion in Luoyang City. This was the mansion built by Li Dan after he was ordered to be Prime Minister. Over the years, people have been taking care of him and can stay at any time. However, Wu Zetian hoped that he would live in the palace, which shows Wu Zetian's love for licking his calf.

Li Dan was busy thanking him. Li Lingyue stuck out her tongue and muttered in a low voice: "The Queen Mother always takes the matter of her son's marriage so seriously. This is the second time..."

Wu Zetian was so amused that she heard this, and Li Xian, who was standing beside her, just shook her head.

Li Dan smiled and said, "It is precisely because the Queen Mother is concerned about you that she values ​​you more."

This sentence is more appropriate.

The mother and son were just a short gathering. Then Li Xian and Li Lingyue resigned, and Li Dan was arranged to rest in the palace.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Li Dan's return to the court touched the hearts of many people. Everyone seemed to be anxiously waiting for the news, and they all wanted to guess various possibilities from some of the words in the palace.

In the Secretariat, Cui Xu seemed calm. When the evening was about to go to the door, Di Renjie came to the door. After Di Renjie sat down, he said, "Duke Cui, the Prime Minister is staying in the palace."

Cui Feng was annotating a memorial. He did not look up, and the long pen in his hand was still drawing. He said lightly: "Which palace is it?"

"Changle Palace."

Cui Yue's hand stopped moving, and he raised his eyes suddenly, with a little deepness in his eyes. He couldn't help but say, "Eternal Palace?"

Changle Palace leans against Ziwei Palace. Because Luoyang Palace is similar to Chang'an Palace, almost all palaces have their own meanings, just like this Changsheng Palace, which was once the place where Emperor Taizong went to bed. The emperor of the Li family, because Laozi, the founder of Taoism, named Li, claimed to be the descendant of Li Er, so he believed in Taoism. The word Changle has a bit of Taoism's meaning of tranquility and inaction. When Wu Zetian ascended the throne, Wu Zetian believed in Buddhism, so he built a Mingtang in the palace and a new Ziwei Palace, which was specially used to stay and live.

It is just because Changle Palace has always been the place where the Li family emperors lived in all dynasties, so it was natural that even if Wu Zetian did not live there, there was no one here, which was quite taboo.

But now, Li Dan lives in Changle.

Di Renjie couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty loves the King of the Prince. Although it is the love of his parents, it is understandable, but I always feel that it is too much."

Cui Feng couldn't help but say, "I think it's because His Majesty misses his son when he is old, so he can't help but be more generous."

Di Renjie said worriedly: "Even so, I'm afraid..."

Cui Feng frowned, Di Renjie expressed his thoughts in his heart. Li Dan's appearance was indeed a slight trait, making him feel that what was originally a foregone conclusion might even cause variables.

Di Renjie thought for a while and said, "If the news spreads, I'm afraid someone will be indignant."

Hearing the word "righteous indignation", Cui Xu's face darkened and he couldn't help but scold: "It's really nonsense. Don't you have any gossip. Things will turn back when the moon is full. Doesn't anyone understand? Huaiying, you must continue to give instructions and let everyone have their own affairs and never have any troubles."

Di Renjie nodded: "Di did his best."
