Chapter 344
Li Shimin and Li Yuan are just monarchs and ministers to others, and they regard Li Shimin as the most respected. It is natural and simple to talk about the order, but Wu Meiniang is different from others. The daughter-in-law of the family.

The emperor Li Shimin, the supreme emperor Li Yuan, one is the lord of the sea, the emperor who rules the world, and the other is the supreme emperor who is the emperor's biological father. It is really difficult to decide which of the two people she will worship first.

If it is public, Li Shimin is the king and Wu Meiniang's marriage giver, Wu Meiniang will worship Li Shimin first, but if it is private, Li Yuan is Li Shimin's biological father and his father's former master, Wu Meiniang should worship Li Yuan first.Whoever she worships first makes sense, but it also means that it doesn't make sense who she worships first.

Today is the first time that Wu Meiniang has greeted Li Shimin and Li Yuan as the Queen Concubine of Chu on such an occasion. Daughter-in-law, the impression of the mistress of Chu Palace.

Those who can sit on the chairman are not human, and everyone watched Wu Meiniang step forward.They all understood her current situation, and looked at her one after another, some were watching the excitement, some were worried, but on the other hand, Li Ke, King of Chu, looked quite normal.

Wu Meiniang is Li Ke's future Princess Chu, and she is closely related to Li Keyou. Li Ke naturally cares about Wu Meiniang, but although Li Ke is also a little worried, he has an inexplicable confidence in him as a princess in his heart. The occasion is rare to live with her.

Just as Li Ke thought, although Wu Meiniang was young, it was the first time she encountered such a big scene, but she seemed born for the big scene.

According to Li Shimin's words, Wu Meiniang went up from the women's seat, more than [-] stone steps, under the attention of everyone, Wu Meiniang lifted her skirt lightly, and walked slowly on lotus steps, her expression was calm as usual, without any panic or haste, step by step, He walked to the upper seat gracefully along the stone steps.

"Dignified and elegant, with a forest style, she is the daughter-in-law of the Li family. My son is very lucky." Wu Meiniang behaved gracefully, completely different from ordinary girls of the same age, and even Li Shimin couldn't help admiring.

Wu Meiniang climbed up the steps, without hurrying, and after a while, she walked to the upper seat, and stopped in front of the table where Li Ke was sitting.

Before the crowd, Li Ke looked at Wu Meiniang in front of him, and it was inconvenient to explain too much to her, so he just smiled at her and told her not to worry.

Wu Meiniang also smiled back, then looked at Li Shimin and Li Yuan who were seated above, paused, walked up to Li Yuan, bowed her knees and said: "My daughter pays homage to the emperor."

Afterwards, Wu Meiniang got up and came to Li Shimin, bowed her knees again and said: "My little girl pays homage to Your Majesty."

There must be a priority for everyone who comes forward to pay respects. Obviously, Wu Meiniang chose to worship Li Yuan first, and then Li Shimin.

Li Yuan is the Supreme Emperor, Li Shimin's father, Wu Meiniang worshiping Li Yuan first may seem inappropriate to some people, but there is nothing to blame, even Li Shimin's face did not show displeasure.

But although Li Shimin didn't speak, Li Yuan smiled and said to Wu Meiniang: "The emperor is the emperor, the lord of the sea. In the future, when you salute, you should first worship the emperor and then me. You can't mess up the order because of your ignorance."

Li Yuanzhi's words were intended to point out and defend Wu Meiniang, fearing that she would anger Li Shimin because she didn't know what happened before and after, so he especially emphasized the words "young ignorance", and asked Li Shimin not to get angry.

Li Yuan originally had good intentions, and Wu Meiniang knew about it, but Wu Meiniang's words were definitely not completely out of plan, she had already thought of her words on the way here.

Wu Meiniang smiled and replied: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the reason why my daughter worships the Emperor first and then His Majesty is not because she is ignorant, but because she has other considerations."

Li Shimin's generation of sages, what a magnanimity, Wei Zheng often fights with him in the court, his ears are red, he can tolerate Wei Zheng, let alone a little girl.Even if Mrs. Wu Mei had offended him unintentionally, how could he care about a little girl like her.

Li Shimin originally had a good impression of Wu Meiniang when she saw Wu Meiniang approaching, and she behaved decently. He felt that Wu Meiniang was not an ordinary woman, but now after hearing Wu Meiniang's words, he became more and more interested.

Li Shimin asked with a smile: "Oh? What reason do you have, let's talk about it."

Wu Meiniang responded, and replied unhurriedly: "My little girl especially remembers that when His Highness talked with my little girl in Jiangling, he once said that although His Highness and His Majesty are monarchs and ministers, they are also father and son. His Highness always calls each other by the names of monarch and minister when he is outside. Your Majesty, but in his heart he prefers to get along with father and son, calling His Majesty 'Daddy', it's just that His Majesty is ashamed of a man's affection, so it's difficult to speak."

"Haha."

Before Wu Meiniang could finish her words, Li Shimin laughed on the spot when he heard the words. Li Shimin pointed to Li Ke, who was blushing, and said with a big laugh, "What you said is in line with Hutou's temperament, like what he said about Hutou. Hutou is young and mature, quite similar to me, so Hutou is also very dull in front of me, reticent, I never thought that he would say everything in front of you, it is very rare."

The love between father and son is exactly what Li Shimin wanted. Wu Meiniang's words won Li Shimin's heart. Li Shimin was so happy that he called out Li Ke's nickname in front of the guests in the garden, and even said that Li Ke's temperament was quite similar to him. From the words, it can be seen that he loves Li Ke.

Li Ke looked at Li Shimin's excitement, so he also stood up and said, "My father laughed at my son's words."

Li Shimin waved his hands and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, I know your temperament, you sit down, I want to listen to the Wu family girl."

"promise."

Seeing this, Wu Meiniang also knew that what she said hit Li Shimin's favorite place, and she felt more confident, so she continued: "As the saying goes, a son follows his father. His Highness respects His Majesty the most, and I think His Majesty does the same. , I respect the Emperor the most, so the little girl has the courage to worship the Emperor first and then His Majesty, presumably His Majesty is benevolent and filial, and will not be offended."

Since the Xuanwumen Mutiny, the relationship between Li Shimin and Li Yuan has not been as good as before. Although they are still harmonious on the surface, they have become estranged a lot behind the scenes. Some people even secretly discuss the matter of the Tian family father and son. Li Shimin's reputation is quite high. unfavorable.

This time Wu Meiniang said these words in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, which hit Li Shimin's arms and met his wishes.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "My lady's words are very much in line with what I think, and I will not be surprised. Cen Wenwen, you personally draft an edict for me. In the future, all the children of the clan, who are not above the court, must first See the emperor, and then worship me, to show my respect, benevolence and filial piety."

"Promise." Cen Wenwen, the servant of Zhongshu who was sitting at the banquet, stood up and answered after hearing the words.

Originally, Wu Meiniang was still an embarrassment, but Wu Meiniang only said a few words, not only resolved the difficult situation, but also brought Li Ke and Wu Meiniang together to win Li Shimin's favor.

Changsun Wuji, who was sitting during the banquet, looked at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Li Shimin ordered Wu Meiniang to come forward on a whim, there is no possibility that Wu Meiniang would have known about today's events in advance, that is to say, what Wu Meiniang said just now was on the spur of the moment.Is this really the intelligence and means that a girl who is only twelve years old can do?What will happen to her in another ten years?

For a moment, Changsun Wuji suddenly had a worry, was it really right for him to promote Li Ke and Wu Meiniang's marriage?
