Li Chengyu waited for Li Taoyao to leave, and said coldly to Wei Youqing: "I gave your son a national surname, you don't look happy." I don't know if the surname Wei has forgotten his real surname for a long time, or do I hope that An Lan will inherit your original surname in the future? ”

Wei Youqing was stunned again by what Li Chengyu said, because of his special life experience, and he was entangled with his previous life, and these surnames that the world valued were not in Wei Youqing's care at all.

All he was thinking about at the moment was how to explain this matter to his father-in-law. Now that he was misunderstood by Li Chengyu, he was stunned for a moment before saying:

"Your Majesty said this, how can you deal with yourself? Youqing just thinks that His Majesty's grace to Youqing's two sons is so heavy, and when other courtiers see it, will he have resentment? ”

Li Chengyu also felt that what he said just now was too rash, and he immediately beat Wei Youqing to his hostile side. Willing to remedy, hearing him say this, he just smiled and said, "Where? Which of my close ministers does not know your merits? No amount of grace should be. ”

Wei Youqing guessed that Li Chengyu was guilty of this bull sex crime, so he said the inappropriate words just now. Therefore, Wei Youqing said such a thing so that Li Chengyu could go down. At this time, Li Chengyu's words, Wei Youqing did not resign humbly, and An Lan has been surnamed Li since then.

When Li Taoyao and Wei Youqing met again, it was already afternoon, and the two accompanied the emperor and the concubine to lunch respectively. Li Chengyu specially and thoughtfully called Guanlan to meet Wei Youqing and have a meal with father and son.

Li Taoyao took a pair of children to see Concubine Zheng. Because the real Zheng Taohua died not long after entering the palace, Concubine Zheng didn't really remember the distant "niece" in front of her.

However, the family came from home, which made Concubine Zheng, who had been living alone in the palace, very happy. Seeing that "Zheng Taohua" also brought her dragon and phoenix fetus to show herself, this made Concubine Zheng, who had no relatives in the palace, very happy.

Concubine Zheng took Ruyi and An Lan from the nurse one by one, and said again and again: "This little doll is so cute, it hurts too much!" ”

When Concubine Zheng heard that His Majesty had accepted An Lan as his adopted son and given him a national surname, she looked at An Lan carefully.

Looking at it, Concubine Zheng's eyes gradually narrowed, and she said in surprise: "Taohua, no wonder Your Majesty loves An Lan so much today, this little brow, how can it look like a person!" ”

Li Taoyao's heart moved: "Empress Dowager Duanci? ”

Concubine Zheng said: "Yes, aunt, there is a portrait of the Empress Dowager Duanci here, you can take a look." ”

Concubine Zheng led Li Taoyao to turn a screen, and a portrait of a woman appeared in front of Li Taoyao's eyes, a pale pink long skirt, with a plain white gauze coat, extremely elegant outfit, slightly thin, but the face was extremely gorgeous, especially a pair of apricot eyes, flattering, but awe-inspiring.

"This is the portrait that my aunt painted for her when she first entered the palace, looking at Emperor Gaozu's own handwriting." Concubine Zheng looked at this portrait and her thoughts returned to the distant past, "Emperor Gaozu cherished this painting very much, and specially placed it here for me to keep for a good time." ”

Li Taoyao looked at Concubine Zheng in front of her with some puzzlement but had been widowed for many years, and didn't understand why she really kept the portrait of another woman her husband liked to this day.

Concubine Zheng saw Li Taoyao's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Aunt knows what you are thinking, you don't have to worry about your aunt, Grandpa Gao is such a wise and martial person, my aunt has revered her heart when she has never married." Even though he is gone, since this painting is something he cherishes, he naturally comes back to visit it from time to time. In this way, wouldn't my aunt still accompany Gao Zu's side? ”

Li Taoyao's heart was inexplicably sour, and she didn't want to see this painting again, so she helped Concubine Zheng back into the front hall and asked, "But, An Lan is so young, why does my aunt think that he looks like the Empress Dowager Duanci?" ”

Concubine Zheng said with a smile: "My aunt has seen Marquis Wei before, and in my aunt's opinion, Marquis Wei is really similar to the Empress Dowager Duanci." An Lan is his son, so it's not surprising that he looks alike. ”

Li Taoyao thought about it carefully and felt that Concubine Zheng's words seemed to be really reasonable. Changing Wei Youqing into a woman's outfit, she really looks a bit like the Queen Mother Duanci.

But Li Taoyao always felt that Concubine Zheng's tone was a little weird, she immediately understood, and her heart was suddenly unhappy, but it was inconvenient to say anything, and she was sullen and had to accompany Concubine Zheng to lunch with a happy face, and left with An Lan and Ruyi as if she were running away.

After lunch, Wei Youqing went back to the house with Li Taoyao with a heavy heart, thinking about the lunch with Li Chengyu. Li Chengyu wanted Guanlan to return to Jiangnan and participate in the war to quell the rebels.

Wei Youqing was playing chess with himself while pondering Li Chengyu's thoughts. He felt that Li Chengyu really liked Guanlan, and he actually thought of using Guanlan to bring a 2,000-strong Praetorian Guard back to Jiangnan.

This is the meaning of going down with a hat to make meritorious service, Wei Youqing believes that Li Chengyu has prepared a knighthood and reward for Guanlan. He also believed that the officials and the army in Jiangnan would definitely cooperate with Guanlan to perform this meritorious drama well.

Wei Youqing thought so, and gradually turned a game of chess into an endgame. Wei Youqing looked at this endgame, his head was running rapidly. What's next?

Wei Youqing thought that there was actually another force on his side, that is, the fox clan force. This force is headed by Hua Ciyang and Hu Ling, plus He Jiming and others. These people undoubtedly support themselves, but in a sense, Guanlan is also a fox clan.

Wei Youqing thought so, his appearance looked so lonely in Li Taoyao's eyes. A woman's heart is always inseparable from the word "love", Li Taoyao thought that Wei Youqing was still worried about Li Chengyu.

Li Taoyao tried to pull Wei Youqing's hand, and looking at Li Taoyao's previous thoughts, Wei Youqing really had something weird.

In Li Taoyao's eyes, Wei Youqing's hands have always been warm, and people have always been light. Today, Wei Youqing's hands are a little cold, and people seem to be preoccupied.

Wei Youqing saw Li Taoyao coming to take his hand, and smiled at Li Taoyao. Li Taoyao saw that his expression was gentle, and said tentatively:

"Today I was at Concubine Zheng's place, and I saw the portrait of the Empress Dowager Duanci, and Concubine Zheng also said that An Lan looked a bit like the Empress Dowager Duanci."

Wei Youqing smiled disapprenously: "With such a little child, you can see who it looks like there." ”

"She's your son, of course she's like you." Li Taoyao said hesitantly, for fear that saying the wrong thing would hurt the person opposite, "You look, you look, a bit like, like the Queen Mother Duanci, so, so Your Majesty likes you." ”

Wei Youqing's eyes widened in surprise, he didn't expect Li Taoyao to be entangled in these things. Lee Seung-woo's habit of breaking sleeves has been around since he was a child, and he doesn't think that such a tough emperor would care about his little love.
