Empress can't eat enough

Chapter 8
Of course Li Mu knew that his aunt Gao loved him the most, and all he wanted was to marry his own daughter to him.

However, ever since the sage said that Zhou Lingyi "has Zhang Shude and has a soft sex, he is an excellent candidate for the crown princess", Ping Ninghou has changed.He even noticed that even his cousin had changed.

He is talented and intelligent, and he has been among the top among several prince brothers since he was a child.His mother and concubine had a world-renowned appearance and a pure heart, and she was only favored by the emperor during her lifetime.He is also as precious as his mother, and has lived a comfortable life for many years.

His mother and concubine passed away, and he was alone in the palace, and the Pingning Hou Mansion became his greatest reliance.The heroic Marquis of Pingning became his Sinan, paving the way for him to dream of being an emperor.

Marquis Pingning often said: His Highness the Fourth Highness is the one who has the spirit of the ancestors of the Li family the most.For this reason, he learned to calculate, learned to exercise power, and became what Ping Ninghou most expected...

He did it, but the dream maker easily turned him into an abandoned child because of a bait thrown by others!
This was so disappointing to him.

Thinking of these, he saw that Gao's expression gradually became cold.He turned around, put his hands behind his back, and stood facing the vast sky outside the door. He said in a resolute but somewhat suppressed tone: "Auntie, I have grown up, and I no longer need the protection of adults."

"Mu'er..." Gao Shi shook her head, and finally shed tears.

It wasn't until this moment that she realized that the lies that even she believed to be true were just lies after all.How smart is she as her own child?Could it be that she can bluff if she wants to?

Her daughter told her that she wanted to be a princess now, and wanted to become a model of women in the world.

Her husband told her that from time to time, perhaps, it would be wiser to send a mediocre person to that position than to send a man of culture and martial arts to that position.

That's right, both her husband and her child have changed their minds.

She didn't want to do this, but she was also very helpless!

"My aunt hasn't called me Mu'er for a long time." Li Mu slowly turned around to look at her, his gaze was still as gentle as before.He said: "Don't worry, auntie, one day, uncle will change his mind."

He smiled, showing a bit of city power.

Gao looked at him, hesitant to speak.

"Auntie, take care of yourself." Li Mu said, and strode away.

After getting in the carriage, he opened the curtain of the carriage, glanced across the huge Pingninghou Mansion, and swore secretly:

Those who no longer protect him will eventually submit to him.

The news that the servant of the Ministry of Punishment mobilized people to go to Pingninghou's mansion to take people spread quickly, and it became the talk of people in the streets and alleys after dinner.

How strange!A concubine's wife in Pingninghou's mansion turned out to be a poisonous woman who killed her mother.For such a poisonous woman, the Marquis of Pingning even wanted to protect her selfishly, which is really shocking...

At this time, Wei Yingning and Ah Man were both dressed as men, sitting opposite each other in the lobby of one of the busiest restaurants in Kyoto, listening to people's discussions while drinking, feeling very comfortable.

Listening to the conversation at the next table as if it was a personal experience, it attracted the attention of several people, and Wei Yingning gave Ah Man a hint.

Ah Man blinked at her knowingly, and then took a jug of wine to the next table, put one hand on a young man's shoulder, and said loudly: "It's a noble family, there are some nasty things hidden in the house. It's nothing unusual. Unfortunately, this happened in the Marquis of Pingning's mansion. If it happened in ordinary people's house, it wouldn't be such a lively event. As the saying goes, people are better than others, and everyone..."

what?She suddenly forgot her words and hurriedly turned her head to look at Wei Yingning.

Wei Yingning glanced at her, said a few words on her lips, and she continued: "Everyone must be wrong. So, this good person must never make a wrong step."

"According to what you said, the Marquis of Pingning's mansion has been wronged this time due to such an accident?" Someone laughed and didn't take it seriously.

"Although there is a mistake in the Pingninghou's mansion for putting too much emphasis on the reputation of the Hou's mansion, in my opinion, it is the newly appointed Minister of the Ministry of Punishment who intends to make trouble with the Pingninghou's mansion, uneasy and kind."

"That's not right!" Someone retorted, "I've heard that the newly appointed minister of punishment, Mr. Wei, is an upright official! It turns out that when he was the magistrate of Tongzhou, he was a respected and respected Lord Qingtian! Otherwise, how could a saint appreciate him so much? How about promoting him to the capital as an official? And this time, he is serving as the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, which is not a small position!"

"That's right!" Someone echoed, "Tingyun solved a few unjust cases on his way to Beijing!"

"Really?" Ah Man pretended to be somewhat guilty, and stammered, "Then Mr. Wei sounds like he has some skills. But when he first came to the capital, he dared to make trouble with the Marquis of Pingning. What happened to him?" some measure..."

"Young master, what you said is not right." Someone interrupted her again, and even refuted her with a bit of anger, "What is propriety? Master Wei Gao Jie is not afraid of power, and only cares about people who have died unjustly." What kind of measure is needed to deliver justice?"

"That's right! The imperial court needs more good officials like Mr. Wei!"

"You are a handsome young man, you must also be a scholar. Do you have any fame? If you have fame, you should reflect on yourself, and don't be that stupid official who stalks others in the future."

"..."

Ah Man was sprayed with saliva all over his head and body, and finally found a chance to shrink back to Wei Yingning's side.

She wiped her face carelessly with her sleeve, feeling a little annoyed, she couldn't help muttering: "I never imagined that speaking ill of the lord would lead to so much spitting."

Wei Yingning just laughed, drank the wine in his glass and got up, "Go back!"

"Let's go, if we stay any longer, I'm afraid they will come here and scold me." Ah Man also got up to follow.

Before leaving, she did not forget to grab a few fruits - she was so thirsty that she quarreled with those literati first.

While making sure that no one watched her stealing and laughing at her, she stuffed the fruits one by one into her mouth.Ben also walked well, but just as he was leaving the gate of the restaurant, Wei Yingning in front suddenly stopped.She didn't stop, and ran straight into it.

Wei Yingning was stupefied because of the person in front of him, when he was bumped by Ah Man from behind, his whole body leaned forward.

Instinctively, she grabbed the sleeve of the person in front of her to prevent her from falling.

The person in front of him was none other than Li Mu, the fourth prince who was about to go to this restaurant to get drunk.

Li Mu remained motionless, and only glanced at the collar of his coat, which was tilted to his shoulders because of Wei Yingning's pull, showing a bit of disgust.

Wei Yingning hurriedly stood still, and retreated to the side to express his apology obediently, "My slave is reckless, please don't blame Fourth Highness."

Ah Man swallowed the fruit in his mouth, hid behind Wei Yingning, and lowered his head deeply.

Li Mu sized up Wei Yingning, and approached her abruptly, almost wanting to touch her face.

After all, it's a girl's house!His sudden action frightened Wei Yingning and immediately took a step back defensively, "Fourth Highness..."

Li Mubuyi grabbed her by the crook of an arm suddenly, then leaned close to her ear and sucked his nose slightly.

The smell of alcohol, accompanied by the unique smell of powder on the daughter's body, makes people feel refreshed.

"Your Highness, let go of my wife!" Ah Man realized that something was wrong, and immediately stood up to protect her.

Li Mu just let go of Wei Yingning, stood up straight and said, "Have a drink with me."
