Long live Emperor Wu!

Zhaoqing Hall.

Wu Rou and Emperor Li Shan sat behind the same table and ate together.

The food was set on the table, the waiters were kicked out, and a screen was placed in front of the two of them, which was private and quiet.

So we were eating and talking.

Li Shan was in a good mood, with broad and gentle eyebrows and curved eyes. He tilted his head slightly, looked at Wu Rou and said:
"Changsun Wuji asked me why His Majesty did not use the list jointly recommended by the two provinces, but insisted on selecting a few others, including people from the King of Wu and people from remote prefectures and counties. Is Your Majesty doubting the loyalty of the officials from the two provinces? "

Wu Rou listened attentively while pouring a drink for him.

Li Shan continued:

"I asked him directly, I can't rely on others, do I have to listen to you? My uncle is accusing me like this, as if I can't have my own ideas."

He smiled as he spoke, curled his lips slightly, picked up the wine glass, took a gentle sip, and said:
"He stopped talking after that. Although he still looked very unconvinced, it was this time that I got my wish."

Wu Rou smiled softly, reached out and smoothed his hairband behind his back, her eyes full of love, and said:

"That's the way it is. If you don't challenge him on small matters, he will always think that you are a child and can't make up your mind.

Your Majesty is getting along with you this time. Do I deserve credit? "

Li Shan put down the chopsticks in his hand, moved next to her, hugged her in his arms, and said:
"My anger has become smoother for a long time. Since I've been with you, my anger has become much smoother, and my life has become much easier... I don't know why, but the things that I felt tormenting before now feel nothing."

When Wu Rou heard this, her smile grew wider, as if she was greedy, she kept grabbing his wrist with her hand, stroking it gently with her fingertips, and said:

"It's the same for me. I used to think I was very unlucky, but now I think I'm very lucky. Without those things in the past, I wouldn't be able to be with you."

She suddenly remembered something, raised her head and looked back at him, her eyes bright, as if she wanted to say something, but just didn't.

Li Shan was impatient and asked:
"what happened?"

Wu Rou hooked his neck with her backhand, gently pulled his head down, and whispered into his ear.

When Li Shan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, full of surprise, and he asked in surprise:

"real?!"

His voice suddenly became louder. Wu Rou leaned in his arms and couldn't twist her body. She wanted to cover his mouth, but it was inconvenient, so she simply hooked her arms around his neck and kissed him deeply.

Anyway, the mouths of the two people are closest.

Li Shan, who was in the midst of joy, was kissed by Wu Rou until his head turned white, and his heartbeat matched his love, which was intoxicating.

Wu Rou let go of him, with the scent of wine still lingering in her mouth. She pursed her red lips, her face turned red, and she said softly:
"You keep your voice down. They all think that I can't have children, so that's why I'm so peaceful. Wait and see, wait until I'm safe."

Li Shan looked at her with a confused and fascinated look in his eyes, smiled softly, loosened his hand around her waist, and said:
"Okay, I'll listen to you."

"Hey, let me introduce you to an acquaintance." Wu Rou said and broke away from his arms, and Li Shan also consciously sat down properly.

Wu Rou shouted loudly to the door:

"Caiyi..."

After a while, Cai Yi came in, looked up at the two people who were pretending to be serious, and blushed shyly.

She was Wu Rou's personal maid, and she had seen these two people crouching in disgust a long time ago, which really made people blush.

Even now, when the two of them pretend to be fine, it's more like they don't have 300 taels of silver here.

"Why did Empress Zhaoyi call Caiyi?" she asked quietly, with a tacit smile on her face.

"Go, call Xiao Qu over and let His Majesty see if he recognizes it." Wu Rou said.Caiyi heard about it and left to look for it.

Wu Rou asked him:
"Does Kuro still remember the ditty?"

"Xiaoqu? Who is it? What does it do?" Li Shan asked. This surname was rare, but he had no impression of it.

"It's the little chamberlain who took care of me when we first met."

Li Shan picked up the wine glass and took another sip, smiling slightly and said:
"First meeting? Where?"

When Wu Rou heard this, she felt sad for a moment. She pursed her lips in displeasure and said:

"It was on the road next to Wude Hall that your cat got stuck on the vines in the flower wall... Your Majesty turned out to have forgotten it, but luckily I remembered it clearly."

As Wu Rou spoke, she raised her face exaggeratedly and said with an expression like a nymphomaniac:
"At that time, I was standing outside the flower wall, waiting for Xiao Qu to come over, and then I heard a nice young voice, saying to me, come here... come here quickly...

The sound was in the flower wall, and I thought I had met the flower god. "

Li Shan smiled and said:
"Who called you? You are so sentimental. I called you Black Jade."

Wu Rou heard this and turned to look at him. Seeing his sly eyes, he obviously remembered, she gently pushed his arm and said:

"My brother is naughty, did you trick me into forgetting?"

When Li Shan heard this, he deliberately grimaced and said:
"Who is your brother?! Presumptuous."

Wu Rou was not afraid of him, she just raised her wrist, covered her mouth with her cuffs, laughed "giggle" and said:
"You are obviously my younger brother. You were only ten years old at the time. I lowered my head and looked through the gap in the flowers. Wow, I still remember that face and the panicked look after being discovered.

I thought to myself at that time, what a beautiful child, he is really a flower goddess. "

Li Shan felt very sweet when he heard that she liked him so much, but he was still unwilling to give in and said:

"What kid? You were only 14 years old at the time. Aren't you also a kid?"

"No, no, no...I was able to get married at that time, could you?" Wu Rou raised her chin and said.

Li Shan almost laughed out of anger and said:
"Other women are afraid that they will lose their youth and try their best to pretend to be young. How about you, insist on being my sister? Is it a big deal to be four years older than me?"

Seeing that he was a little annoyed, Wu Rou acted coquettishly and stretched out her hand to shake his arm and said:

"Kuro...I was wrong. Don't be angry. Isn't it okay if I call you brother?"

"It's no use."

At this time, Caiyi said outside:

"Your Majesty, Concubine Qu is here."

"Let him in."

Xiao Qu walked in, first looked at Wu Rou and Li Shan respectfully, then lowered his eyebrows, bowed and said straightly:

"This slave is here to see Your Majesty, Your Majesty. I don't know what I want you to do when I call you here."

Xiaoqu was about the same age as Wu Rou back then, or even a little younger than her. Now he is in his 20s and is a very strong young man.

It's just that his expression is darker than before. In the past, he was just indifferent and distant, speaking and acting as if he had no emotions, showing a business-like neatness.

Wu Rou looked at Li Shan and asked:
"Look, does your Majesty still remember?"

The young emperor shook his head and said:
"I only met once. I don't remember where to go. There are so many chamberlains in the palace... By the way, Xiaoqu, right? Where did you work as an errand before?" (End of Chapter)
