My wife is Wu Zetian

Chapter 158 The Emperor's Birthday
The three of them took their knives and forks, and began to cut and taste the cakes one by one.

After a while, the four of them, including Li Feng, all ate their bellies round and lay on the recliner, unable to move.

"You can't eat it anymore?"

Li Yanran kicked Changsun Yan.

"I can't eat anymore, not at all."

Changsun Yan touched his belly without even opening his eyes.

That's how it should be after a meal, lying down and letting the sun warm your belly.

"Balm, come, divide these cakes and distribute them to the people in the farm. Good things should be shared."

Hearing Li Yanran's order, the chef in the farm immediately started to act, dividing the huge cake into several small pieces and giving them to the servants in the farm.

While they were tinkering with cakes on the farm, an imperial decree came from the palace.

The new prime minister is not a vanguard official against Changsun Wuji, but Wu Zetian's confidant minister is the little-known Ren Yaxiang.

This is really shocking, why Xu Jingzong fell out of favor for a while,

What kind of cunning rabbit is dead, the lackey is cooking,

Rumors that the emperor was going to take action against Xu Jingzong, and the party of Empress Wu was swept away like a storm in the streets.

Although the rumors continued, Xu Jingzong sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, because these rumors were spread by people arranged by Empress Wu.

This is called retreating.

The more such rumors there were, the more assured the emperor was about them.

As soon as the time turned, it was Li Zhi's birthday. On this day, colorful flags fluttered in the city of Chang'an, and the whole world celebrated together.

Li Yanran has also been notified here, asking her to dress up and send someone to pick her up at night.

At night, the huge cake was also covered with Mongolian steps and delivered to the mansion.

A huge carriage stopped, and Zhou Xun jumped out of the carriage and entered the mansion.

Seeing the behemoth in front of him, Zhou Xun was stunned.

As Wu Zetian's confidant, he has some vision, but he has never seen this thing before.

"Look at what."

Li Yanran appeared in front of Zhou Sun in palace attire.

"Miss, Zhou Fun is here to pick you up for the banquet under Madam's order."

Zhou Sun hurriedly saluted Li Yanran.

"Let's go, arrange a car to take the gift I prepared."

Li Yanran glanced at the cake beside her and smiled slightly.

"Miss, I'm afraid I can't bring it in."

Such a big guy, Zhou Xun is also depressed.

The order he got was only to pick up Li Yanran into the palace, but the other party wanted to bring this in, which really made him a little embarrassed.

Li Yanran gave Zhou Xun a blank look, then took a delicate cake and went straight into the big cake.

"It's all right now."

Li Yanran's voice came from inside the cake, leaving Zhou Xun speechless.

"Come on, prepare a truck."

Directly ordered someone to find a truck, and moved the big cake together with the bottom plate.

"Remember, don't tell anyone about what I'm hiding here, especially my parents, otherwise I won't let you go."

After loading the car, Li Yanran's voice came from inside the cake again.

After Zhou Xun heard it, he also responded with a wry smile.

"Li Feng, don't follow me."

Ready to go, but Li Feng rushed over.

"Why?"

Li Feng was taken aback, he was Li Yanran's bodyguard, why couldn't he go with him.

"This is Madam's order, and you will understand when the time comes."

Zhou Xun shook his head and didn't say much.

"This Li Feng complies."

Hearing that it was Wu Zetian's order, Li Feng also nodded depressedly and stepped aside.

"Set off."

Zhou Xun gave an order, the carriage was in front, and the truck ran towards the palace behind.

Li Feng could only watch them leave, then returned to the mansion, and set up a swing in the backyard.

The carriage carrying Li Yanran came slowly, but when it came to the palace gate, it was stopped by the guards.

Seeing this, Zhou Sun directly lit up Wu Zetian's token, but the guards still didn't want to let them in. After all, the cake was so big, who knew what was inside.

"This is a gift from the empress to His Majesty, why do you dare to open it for inspection?"

Looking at the guards surrounding him, Zhou Xun couldn't help raising his eyebrows and stopped them.

Hearing what Zhou Xun said, the imperial guard also hesitated.

"Zhou Sun, you also know the current situation. If something goes wrong, everyone will be unable to eat and walk around."

A guard captain glanced at Zhou Falcon and said to him in a low voice.

"Of course I know, I'm not letting go yet."

Zhou Xun nodded, he naturally knew what was going on here.

"Open the door, let's go."

Following the captain's order, the surrounding guards also gave way to let Zhou Xun and the others enter the palace.

The carriage moved forward slowly, and finally stopped outside Wu Zetian's bedroom. After ordering people to unload the cake from the truck into the house, they hurried to report to Wu Zetian.

"Yanran brought it back, where's the person?"

Hearing that Li Yanran had entered the palace, Wu Zetian raised her eyebrows slightly, excited for a while.

"Miss, she didn't let me tell you, she said she wanted to give you a surprise."

Zhou Xun spoke out Li Yanran's advice depressedly.

"Surprise? Ha ha, then I'll wait and see."

Since it was Li Yanran's little thought, Wu Zetian couldn't say anything.

As long as people come, everything will be easy to handle.

As the night deepened, the invited officials also entered the palace one after another. There were important ministers in the court, as well as the eldest grandson Wuji and Cheng Yaojin who were at home with idle jobs.

Officials entered the palace, and the originally quiet palace became lively.

"Your Majesty has a decree, all officials will enter the palace to see you."

Ryan stood at the entrance of the main hall, shouting loudly.

The civil and military officials who had been waiting for a long time also entered the palace to take their seats, and the general procedures were clear.

Those who can be favored into the palace are not good stubble, but these people are also divided into seniority and inferiority.

The recent ones, such as the crown prince and a group of princes surnamed Li, or the older son-in-law, all sat in the front seats.

After that, there are the founding heroes headed by Changsun Wuji, the only county king, and several princes.

Immediately after that came the Ministers of Civil and Military Affairs of the current dynasty. Dozens of hundreds of people sat scattered around the hall according to their respective official titles, grades, and titles.

Everyone behaved well in the palace, and no one dared to make any noise, so the banquet didn't have the slightest lively atmosphere.

Changsun Yan and the others, as the sons of the duke and county king, naturally also have the right to attend the banquet, and all of them sat behind their father, not daring to show a single one.

After all, at a glance, they are all characters who would tremble three times when stomping their feet, and they are just here to see the world.

Several people looked at each other, and they all saw each other's distress.

What the hell is going to a banquet, it is even more terrifying than a Hongmen banquet.

The waiters served dishes and drinks, but no one dared to enjoy them. After all, the emperor and empress hadn't come. No matter how delicious these things were, they were hard to see.

"His Majesty is here."

"The Empress is here."

Following the servant's shout, everyone in the hall got up one after another, and when the figures of Li Zhi and Wu Zetian appeared, they immediately knelt down and saluted.

"Long live, long live, my emperor."

"Long live, long live, my emperor."

"Long live, long live, my emperor."

Li Zhi and Wu Zetian sat side by side, and then Li Zhi waved: "You don't need to be polite, just sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Only then did everyone take their seats, but seeing the delicious food and wine in front of them, no one had the desire to eat or drink.

Going to the banquet is obviously a favor from the Holy One, but sharing a meal with the emperor is actually a kind of suffering for everyone.

"Father Huang Shoubi Nanshan, long live long live, long live long live, your literary and martial arts, from the perspective of sons and ministers, Qin Huang Han Wu is also incomparable."

Li Zhong, as the eldest son of Li Zhi and the former crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, was naturally the first to speak about his qualifications.

And when he came, he specially found Mr. Gongzhong and learned a few words of Mandarin to please his father.

Li Zhi glanced at Li Zhong and said, "I've only been on the plane for a few years, and now I've made great achievements in China and overseas?"

Li Zhong:.
After all, he was just a teenager, so he just couldn't keep up with what he knew.

"Father's martial arts are superb, comparable to the three emperors."

Li Shangjin bowed to Li Zhi, but his face turned red after he finished speaking.

Li Zhi glanced at him and said, "It's so uncomfortable to lie, hum."

Hearing Li Zhi's reprimand, Li Shangjin couldn't help lowering his head.

Seeing the two imperial brothers standing up to congratulate, Li Hong couldn't help it anymore, and said in a childish voice: "Father is comparable to grandpa."

Li Hong's grandfather was Emperor Taizong Li Shimin.

Li Zhi glared at Li Hong and shouted in a low voice: "If your grandpa is alive in heaven, you must be beaten to death for your unfilial grandson."
