"What's the matter?" Hearing that Wu Mingkong had something to discuss with him, Li Xiu couldn't help but ask in surprise, don't look at Wu Mingkong's young age, but he is very assertive, unless she encounters something particularly important, she usually makes her own decisions and rarely discusses with others.

I saw that Wu Mingkong hesitated again at this time, and finally spoke: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that it's almost the New Year, and the weather is getting colder and colder, and my mother is worried that my sister will catch a cold in the palace, so I made a bed quilt and planned to send it to my sister, but the rules in the palace are strict, and we can't find a way to send things into the palace, so I want to ask Mr. for help." ”

As early as a few years ago, cotton was introduced to the Central Plains by Li Xiu from the Western Regions, and now it has begun to be planted in the Guanzhong area, of course, the scale is not very large, which also makes the output of cotton not much, the price is relatively expensive, and cotton in addition to weaving, can also be made into quilts, which is a good thing to keep out the cold in winter, and now it has become popular in the homes of rich and noble people in Chang'an and other places.

"Isn't it just a quilt, where can I use my father, you give it to me, I will help you bring it to the palace and give it to Sister Wushun, and in addition to me, Lizhi, pheasant slaves and sons can also help you bring them into the palace." When Li Jin heard this, he was the first to pat his chest and said, he is Li Shimin's nephew, and he is not very old, and he usually enters the palace often, and it is not difficult to bring something in.

"No...... More than just a quilt, my mother she ...... She also wanted to meet her eldest sister. Wu Mingkong said again a little unnaturally at this time, and at the end he also showed an embarrassed expression.

Hearing that it was the Yang family who wanted to see Wu Shun who entered the palace, Li Xiu couldn't help frowning, and only after a while did he speak: "Does your mother really miss your eldest sister very much?" ”

"Mother didn't say it explicitly, but I can see it, and I also heard the little sister say that my mother used to cry behind her back, and the eldest sister's things were also packed into a box by her, and then put them in her room No one is allowed to touch, especially when the New Year is coming in a few days, my mother locks herself in Buddhism every day, reciting scriptures and praying for the eldest sister, and I feel uncomfortable as a daughter, so I want to ask my husband to help, so that my mother can meet with the eldest sister." When Wu Mingkong said the end, his little face also showed a pitiful expression.

"This ......" Li Xiu showed a very embarrassed expression when he heard this, not that he didn't want to help Wu Mingkong, but that this matter was a bit special, and it even involved Empress Changsun, who had just passed away.

Wu Shun entered the palace not to be a palace maid, although their sisters were bullied by Wu Yuanqing's brothers, but Wu Shun is the daughter of the prince after all, so after entering the palace, he became a talented person, that is, the reserve team of the emperor's harem.

But even if she is a talented person, she is also the emperor's woman, and when Empress Changsun was alive, she once set an iron rule for the harem, that is, the concubines in the harem cannot see outsiders, even if they are their own relatives.

Of course, if it was just because of the above, Li Xiu would still have a way to let the Yang family and Wushun meet, but now it was not long after the death of Empress Changsun, although Li Shimin had recovered on the surface, he still missed Empress Changsun very much, and even ordered that all the rules set by Empress Changsun in the palace would never be allowed to be changed, probably in this way he could feel that Empress Changsun had not left him.

Therefore, in the above situation, if Li Xiu arranged for the Yang family to enter the palace to see Wu Shun, it was likely that people would seize the handle, and if it was publicized at that time, I am afraid it would be enough for him to drink a pot, so he would be so hesitant.

"Father, isn't it just to arrange for Aunt Wu to enter the palace, this little thing is also worth making it so difficult for you?" Seeing the hesitant expression on Li Xiu's face, Li Jin couldn't help but say at this time, although he was very smart, he didn't understand the twists and turns in the palace, so he also thought about the problem very simply.

In contrast, Wu Mingkong was very aware of the difficulties, so when she saw Li Xiu's embarrassed expression, she couldn't help but say with a silent face: "I also know that this matter makes Mr. very difficult, especially at this special moment, so if Mr. really can't help it, then forget it, I'll go back and persuade my mother more, so that she can relax." ”

"Is it that difficult?" Li Jin was also stunned when he heard Wu Mingkong's words, and then he was a little puzzled again, but at this time, he also vaguely felt that this matter was probably not as simple as he imagined, otherwise his father would not be so embarrassed, and Wu Mingkong would not give up so easily.

"You don't understand, the palace prohibits concubines from contacting outsiders, and this rule was set by the recently deceased Empress Changsun, so if someone dares to break such a rule, wouldn't it be disrespectful to Empress Changsun? So I understand that Mr. is embarrassed. Wu Mingkong saw that Li Jin didn't understand, and explained in a low voice in his ear.

"It's really embarrassing, but it's not completely impossible!" But at this moment, he suddenly saw Li Xiu smile and said, just now he had a flash of inspiration in his mind, but he thought of a feasible way.

"What's the solution?" Wu Mingkong's eyes lit up when he heard Li Xiu's words, and he immediately asked very eagerly.

Seeing Wu Mingkong's anxious appearance, Li Xiu couldn't help laughing, and then whispered to her the method he had come up with, and deliberately didn't let Li Jin hear it, which made Li Jin also scratch his ears and cheeks anxiously, wanting to eavesdrop but couldn't hear clearly, and finally had to say dissatisfiedly: "Father, is it necessary for you to hide it from me?" ”

"The fewer people who know about this matter, the better, and you can't help much, so it's useless to listen to it, and the more one person knows, the more risk of leakage, so you just don't listen to it, so you don't have to keep it secret." At this time, Li Xiu glanced at his son and said.

After Wu Mingkong listened to Li Xiu's method at this time, he immediately became eyebrows, and immediately thanked Li Xiu, and ran to find other people to play, which made Li Jin even more puzzled, and he was also curious about what his father said, which made Wu Mingkong's mood change so much?

After ten days, Li Xiu got up early as usual, and then rode into the palace in a carriage, but at this time, he thought that Princess Pingyang had told him to take care of Li Chengqian more, so he went to the Stopping Spirit Hall first, but what he never expected was that Li Chengqian, who had been kneeling here before and refused to leave, was not here today.
