"Last March." Li Hong looked at Wu Mei warily and replied decisively.
"Last March?" Wu Mei looked at the two palace maids on the left and right, slowly approaching Li Hong, frowning and thinking about what happened in March last year.
"Yes, in March last year I went with you and my father to offer sacrifices. I said I had a stomachache..." Li Hong swallowed his saliva. He really didn't blame himself at that time. Who made him eat something bad
"Then what?" Wu Mei's forehead was covered with black lines, and she was already on the verge of rage!
"Then there will be no more." Li Hong said innocently, blinking his bright eyes.
She vaguely guessed the truth of the matter! What was this little bastard doing at that time! While the sacrifice was in progress, the palace maids did not dare to leave with him, so he sneaked away alone. She wanted to catch him, but the little bastard was as slippery as a loach, so she didn't care where he went. What happened? What.
Now he knew that the little bastard really had a stomachache after eating bad food. He couldn't find a place, so he simply settled it on his carriage. If the silk on the roof of the carriage was gone, it would be because of him... by him...
"Li Hong, you really made me angry. Let me tell you, look how I peeled off your skin today!" The filthy thing. She actually sat on that little bastard... Wu Mei couldn't think about it anymore and was so angry that she wanted to lose it. Be sensible! It’s in vain that she was still enjoying herself in the carriage today!
"You shouldn't ask." Li Hong said kindly for his mother's sake.
"Li Hong, I'll skin you and me alive!" Wu Mei couldn't control herself anymore, and ran over hysterically before the two palace maids could control Li Hong!
Suddenly, the entire conference room was shaken. Li Hong's admonitions, Wu Mei's roars, and the sounds of tables, chairs and benches being moved came and went.
Zong Chuke at the door was so frightened that he didn't know what to say. He stood like a wax figure at the door: Is this the legendary empress who is the mother of the world and the prince of the Tang Dynasty who is famous for her kindness and filial piety
He twisted his neck hard and looked at the people around him. They all looked calm and indifferent, as if they were used to the noisy noise happening on the opposite side.
From time to time, you can still hear someone whispering: "Why didn't you stop His Highness from getting into the Queen's carriage that day?"
"I stopped it, but I didn't stop it. Our ancestors want to go up, who dares to stop him."
"It's over, just wait, His Highness the Crown Prince's butt will be swollen for several days."
At this time, Wu Mei's coquettish voice came from the conference room again: "Li Hong, stop here. I'm telling you, I will only settle the carriage's debt with you. Minzhi's debt will be written off. Come here and let me beat you up."
"Why should Minzhi's debt be placed on Erchen? He deserves it. If you hadn't stopped me, I would have chopped off his head." Li Hong was sweating on his forehead and panting.
There was no other way. With three women surrounding him, he had nowhere to hide, so he had to crawl under the conference table. Wu Mei and the two palace maids leaned over to look at him, but they couldn't reach him.
"Okay, little bastard, just wait. Banmei and Xunlan, you two, keep an eye on this. I'll go behind and kick his ass. I don't believe that she can't get out." Wu Mei also gasped, her plump breasts following. His chest rose and fell violently.
The two palace maids were obviously the most tired. They did not dare to strike hard for fear of hurting His Highness, but they were too weak to catch him. No, when His Highness the Crown Prince broke away from Banmei's arms, he even took her underwear away, and he was currently using it to wipe away her sweat.
Li Hong turned around under the conference table. The floor was entirely covered with Persian carpets, so he was not afraid of damaging his knees or elbows.
"Mother, let's talk about it. I'll show you something good, and I'll make sure it makes your face look good. Even if anyone asks in the future, I'll tell you that you came up with it." Li Hong casually threw Banmei's underwear to him. After eating half a plum, he said quickly.
"Stop fooling me with your tatters from Taiyi City. Apart from perfume and soap, there is nothing in Taiyi City that I can like." Wu Mei walked to the other side holding the conference table, kicking her slender jade legs. He tried to kick the little bastard down there, but he only managed to reach the tip of his nose, and someone blocked his kick back with his hands.
"This thing is different. You have to believe in Erchen's intelligence. Moreover, this matter has been carried out in secret. I have never told anyone. Also, there are only two of us here. As long as you agree, I guarantee that no one will You will know." Li Hong said seductively as he watched Wu Mei sitting on the chair and kicking the underside of the table from time to time.
"First tell me what the object is." Wu Mei couldn't catch him, so she could only compromise and lure him out first.
"It's not an object, it's a kind of dance. It will definitely make you like it more than Hu Ji's Huji dance or some other messy dance. How about it? I'll let them perform it for you tonight, and I'll let them perform it for you tonight." The most prosperous street in Taiyi City has been put under martial law, just so that you, Queen Mother, can enjoy the dance. "
Li Hong saw Wu Mei's feet stopped moving and crawled out slowly. No matter what, a beating was inevitable. With this dance, the beating would be lighter.
The screams were heard in the conference room, which lasted as long as a cup of tea. Zong Chuke was petrified from the beginning and couldn't believe what he saw and heard!
The empress of the mother-in-law of the world beat her own son herself? Isn't that ironic? Isn't it ironic that the prince, who was kind and filial and well-known in the Tang Dynasty, beat his queen mother so angry
The door of the conference room finally opened. The queen was still noble, elegant, graceful and generous, and the two maids were also bright, pleasant, fresh and smart.
His Royal Highness is still... grinning, in a state of embarrassment, in ragged clothes, with messy hair, and a sad face.
"Take me around." Wu Mei said to Li Hong behind her without even looking at Zong Chuke.
"Can you be gentler next time? My butt is almost in fours." Li Hong was rubbing his ears gently when Xiaoxue, who was waiting at the door, saw Zong Chuke still there and said quickly: "Chuke, I haven’t seen the queen yet, so what are you doing here?”
"Zong Chuke, the magistrate of Lantian County, has met the queen." Zong Chuke's short-circuited head also reflected at this moment. He hurriedly put behind his head what he heard in the conference room just now and said goodbye.
"Get up." Wu Mei said lightly.
"How do you, a magistrate of Lantian County, know the prince?" Wu Mei began to look seriously at Zong Chuke. People who could be introduced to him by Li Hong were never economical.
"Back to the Queen, I was lucky enough to meet His Highness the Crown Prince when I was collecting herbs in the mountains a few days ago, so I followed His Highness the Crown Prince to Taiyi City." Zong Chuke said respectfully.
"Okay, then follow the prince and work hard. Don't let down the prince's cultivation of you. Go down." Wu Mei glanced at it lightly, turned around and began to look at the interior of this uniquely furnished building.
"Yes, Queen." Zong Chuke looked at Li Hong and waved, then hurriedly bowed and exited the building.
He was lucky to be able to enter this building, but he knew that men, including eunuchs, were only allowed to walk on the first floor of this building. No one except the prince dared to go up to the second floor above.
Li Hong sent the palace maid away. Erpilian, who had just been beaten, took the initiative to hold Wu Mei's jade-white right hand and said with a smile: "Mother, I will personally show you around. This is my painstaking work."
Li Hong introduced to Wu Mei the two large and small conference rooms on the first floor, the two living rooms usually used for receptions, the leisure room, etc., with great excitement and eloquence, as if he were familiar with the details.
Finally, they came to a door that was wider than the usual door. Li Hong gently reached out and opened it sideways, revealing a small box-like room.
"Queen Mother, follow me." Li Hong took Wu Mei's hand again and walked in slowly.
Then Wu Mei looked at Li Hong with a proud smile and closed the door horizontally. Then she looked around the whole small room and saw that the surroundings were covered with beautiful landscape paintings, precious wood and carvings by famous artists. , the small room looks noble and elegant without losing its atmosphere, making people not feel stuffy at all when staying in it.
With the use of winches and pulleys on bows and crossbows, Li Hong also built this manual elevator using rather complex mechanical means.
"Queen Mother, let's take a look at your floor first, and then slowly go down, how about it?" Li Hong shook his head, and occasionally bumped his head against Wu Mei, who was still looking at the sculptures around her.
"It's up to you, little one." It was rare for Wu Mei to relax. Leaving the palace also made her less majestic and more feminine.
Li Hong held on to a crank handle in the room, and then slowly started shaking it. Wu Mei only felt a moment under her feet, and then through some carved sculptures in front of her, she saw that the small room was rising slowly and steadily.
From time to time, she saw the new numbers Li Hong taught her. 2, 3, 4, and 5 passed by her eyes. When Li Hong stopped his hand, the whole room, in the hollow place, was exactly aligned with one number: 5.
Li Hong opened the door again, made an invitation gesture, and accompanied Wu Mei out of the "swinging ladder". (Sigh, I really can’t think of a good name. If you see it, please think of a name.)
Room by room introduction, Wu Mei really said it was like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden. There were new things everywhere, some of which she had never heard of.
The thick carpet under your feet gives you a warm and comfortable feeling when you first step on it. The pastel-colored walls, palace lanterns and other decorations are all exquisite to the extreme.
These are different from the structures Wu Mei was familiar with before. Although they are different from the tradition, Li Hong explains everything in a clear and logical way, not a random design on a whim.
Finally, Li Hong took Wu Mei to her dormitory and gently opened the double thick wooden doors, which seemed to open Wu Mei's long-dormant girl's heart.
Wu Mei covered her red lips tightly with one hand, widened her eyes, and looked at everything in front of her in disbelief, fearing that she would scream in shock at the sight in front of her!
She... seemed to have entered a fairy-like world. All the furnishings gave her an unreal feeling like a dream.
