Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 230

Cui Jie came from a powerful family, her etiquette education and knowledge were cultivated by the world's great Confucians, she is not afraid of any situation, even if she is summoned by the queen.

Li Qinzai was not worried about Cui Jie's disgrace, he was worried about Empress Wu.

To be honest, he has always been wary of Empress Wu, after all, only he knows best how fierce this empress is.

If it develops according to the historical trajectory, the future Empress Wu will not only become the emperor herself, but also kill Li Zhi's sons, even her own.

Such a ruthless person suddenly summoned Cui Jie for no reason, and was really worried about her intentions.

If she met her and said, "A girl from an aristocratic family is not worthy of Li Jingchu, why don't your marriage be voided, and I betroth a princess to him."

Should Li Qinzai lift the table face to face, or should he first look in the mirror to see how good he is?

Taking Cui Jie into another courtyard, Li Zhi and Empress Wu lived in the east wing of the backyard.

The wing room was not arranged by Li Qinzai, it was Li Zhi's last stay, and this time he was familiar with the road, so he chose this room by himself when he entered the other courtyard.

The courtyard was crowded with people.

It was really turbulent, every other step was a sentry guard of the forbidden army, filling the courtyard to the brim.If there is an assassin at this moment...

Even if an assassin grows wings and can fly, he will be shot into a hornet's nest.

Li Qinzai and Cui Jie entered the East Wing. Empress Wu was looking at the furnishings in the room curiously. Li Zhize introduced her to her. The couple talked and laughed, apparently in a good mood, and their relationship seemed to be good.

After Cui Jie walked into the wing room, she first touched the ground with her knees, stretched her wide sleeves lightly, like a butterfly spreading its wings, and then bowed with her hands on her forehead, a very formal salute.

A set of movements is smooth and flowing, not only looks very comfortable, but also inexplicably has a solemn and solemn temperament.

Li Qinzai was dumbfounded. Do people from the aristocratic family salute so beautifully?
When we get married in the future, this woman doesn't have to do anything else, she just bows to me every day, and she also does the same thing before having sex, it's exciting just thinking about it.

"My daughter, the Cui clan of Qinghe, Qingzhou, Cui Jie, pay my respects to the emperor of Tang Dynasty and the empress."

Li Zhi raised his eyebrows, and suddenly pointed at Li Qinzai: "Jingchu, learn more from others, and see how thoughtful their etiquette is. You courtiers salute me so carelessly, tsk!"

Li Qinzai couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, the Son of Heaven respects him in his heart..."

As soon as Cui Jie entered, Empress Wu's eyes were on her.

Seeing Cui Jie's stunning appearance, polite manners, and the good upbringing of the aristocratic family everywhere, Empress Wu couldn't help but secretly exhaled.

She is full of aversion to the family, because her old enemy, the former queen, was from the family. When Li Zhi wanted to appoint her as the new queen, she was also opposed by the family. Also very knotted.

But I have to say that the aristocratic family does have its background. People from the aristocratic family have a demeanor and demeanor that ordinary people cannot match.

"This is the girl from the Cui family? She is truly stunning, no wonder the fifth young man of the Li family falls in love with you." Empress Wu smiled, and took two steps forward to help Cui Jie up herself.

Cui Jie blushed, and said softly: "The empress praises you a lot, the minister's daughter looks like a willow, it's unsightly."

Empress Wu was talking, but she held her hand naturally, and the relationship between the two became intimate instantly.

"Don't talk about the posture of willows. If you look welcoming, you are welcoming. What is modesty? Even though we are women, we must not lose our bearing. When we should do our part, don't back down."

Speaking of this, Empress Wu glanced at Li Qinzai with a smile, and said: "Old General Li really loves his grandson, and found such a good marriage for Jingchu. This daughter of the Cui family is graceful, gentle, quiet and virtuous, and she is exactly Wan Jin A good match is hard to find, Jing Chu must not let him down."

Li Qinzai grinned.

You are the queen of a country after all, are you so hasty in standing in line?As soon as they met, they rushed to Cui Jie's team, as if they were scolding their son-in-law. What does that mean?
The scene was a bit chaotic, Li Qinzai rubbed his temples, couldn't help but look at Li Zhi, wanting to ask what the situation was like.

Li Zhi received his gaze, and then cast a confused look.

I don't know when a woman reveals her true feelings, when she shows off her acting skills, and can switch freely between true and false. I still don't understand at this age.

Empress Wu ignored the two of them, and instead chatted with Cui Jie more and more intimately.

While talking, Empress Wu suddenly took out a jade pendant from her bosom and stuffed it into Cui Jie's palm.

Cui Jie was taken aback and hurriedly declined. After the two played Tai Chi push hands for a while, Cui Jie finally accepted and thanked her.

Li Qinzai noticed the jade pendant at first sight, and his eyes couldn't help but brighten up.

Its color is clear, its quality is clear, good jade!

Its surname is Li.

Empress Wu chatted with Cui Jie for a long time, and asked Cui Jie's situation clearly. When she heard that Cui Jie's father had recently married the daughter of the Wang family in Taiyuan, Empress Wu's eyes flickered quickly, and then returned to normal .

Li Qinzai also noticed it now.

Empress Wu summoned Cui Jie for no other purpose than chatting. She deliberately created a close image in front of Cui Jie, which seemed to be related to Li Qinzai.

After chatting for nearly an hour, the two women finally ended the topic.

Cui Jie tactfully stood up and resigned, and Li Qinzai also resigned.

After the two left, Li Zhicai looked at Empress Wu and said with a smile, "How about the daughter of the Cui family?"

Empress Wu had put away her friendly smile, and said calmly: "She is a nice woman, she is worthy of being from a noble family, her gestures are perfect, her speech is perfect, and she is a demure person who does not fight or seek. Blessed is Jingchu."

Li Zhi smiled and said: "I also thought so when I saw her last time, she and Jing Chu are really a match made in heaven."

Empress Wu sighed: "It's a pity that I came from a family..."

Li Zhi laughed again: "The aristocratic family can't completely deny it. If the empress still intends to break up the marriage between the two, and give the idea of ​​Jingchu, the daughter of the clan, it's better to accept this idea. I think Jingchu is very fond of this daughter. Out of concern, the queen beat the mandarin ducks with a stick, making the whole house unhappy, which is not beautiful."

Empress Wu said leisurely: "Your Majesty, don't forget that Jing Chu has the secret recipe of gunpowder. If he marries the daughter of a family, the secret recipe will be leaked to those families..."

Li Zhi's body was shocked, and then he fell silent for a long time, then suddenly said softly: "I believe in Jing Chu."

"Because he is the empress of the three dynasties?"

Li Zhi smiled: "No, because of him, he is a person who is afraid of trouble. As soon as gunpowder came out, he couldn't wait to present the secret recipe to me, which shows that he also knows that this thing is a big trouble."

"What's more, I also have the secret recipe of gunpowder. If the aristocratic family masters the secret recipe, it will be a disaster for the family to be stolen."

"This thing is a sharp weapon for subduing the country. It is the sword of the emperor. It can only be held in the hands of the emperor. Those sneaky and scheming people, even if they have the secret recipe, they are still young people who can't take it on the table."
