Chapter 803: The Heir to the Martial Emperor 2
Wu Zetian kept Li Xian's family in the palace to attend the so-called family dinner in the evening.

Li Xian stayed to talk with Wu Zetian, while Lu brought her grandchildren out of the palace, together with Li Dan's wife Liu and the young men and women of the Prince of Xiang's Mansion.

Liu Shu saw a young man in his twenties, with a heroic appearance and better spirit than the others.

Liu Shu thought to himself, could this person be Li Longji?

Li Longji glanced at Liu Shu and then went to reminisce about the past with Li Chongrun with a smile.

The two men knew each other when they were children. After not seeing each other for more than ten years, Li Chongrun could no longer remember Li Longji, but Li Longji acted like a good brother to Li Chongrun.

No wonder Li Longji was able to ascend the throne in the end.

Li Chongrun was born to Wei. He was Li Xian's eldest son and was highly valued by Li Xian.

Although Lu hated Wei, she only dared to treat Li Gui'er coldly and did not dare to embarrass Li Chongrun.

After Wei's death, Li Chongrun's life did not change much.

Li Chongrun finally remembered who Li Longji was and started chatting with him.

Liu Shu yawned.

The others were talking in groups of three or four, and it was difficult for him to find common language with them.

"Are you feeling bored, young master? Do you want to go for a walk in the Imperial Garden?"

Liu Shu turned around and saw that the person who spoke was a very beautiful female official.

Liu Shu hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, Lord Shangguan."

Shangguan Wan'er, a female prime minister of her time.

Even though she was not a popular figure around Wu Zetian, Liu Shu would not look down on her.

This is a heroine worthy of respect.

Her talent and wisdom are beyond the reach of any man.

"You're too polite, young master. Would you like to take a walk together?" Shangguan Wan'er invited.

Liu Shu: "That's what I wish for, I dare not ask for it."

The two walked out together.

Liu Shu was keenly aware of several gazes.

After all, he was following the Queen's favorite.

The two walked on the path in the garden, chatting while enjoying the scenery of the imperial garden.

Naturally, they didn't talk about state affairs, most of the time Shangguan Wan'er asked about Liu Shu's homework.

Liu Shu tried to hide his incompetence, so he answered some questions and pretended not to be able to answer others.

Shangguan Wan'er was very busy. After she walked with Liu Shu for a while, someone came to her to ask for instructions.

Shangguan Wan'er left with her men.

Li Chongrun and Li Longji came out from behind a rockery on the side.

Li Longji smiled and said, "Cousin Liu Shu is very popular with Lord Shangguan."

Liu Shu shook his head: "Shangguan just saw that I was bored and wanted to chat with me."

Li Chongrun: "What did you talk about?"

Liu Shu: "Lord Shangguan tested my homework, and I couldn't answer many of them."

Li Longji: "Lady Shangguan is a famous talented woman. I'm afraid many people can't answer the questions she asks."

Liu Shu: "Mr. Shangguan asked questions from books. I can't answer them because I didn't study well."

Li Chongrun said to Li Longji, "This kid doesn't care about class and always sleeps in class. The teachers in the palace don't pay much attention to him."

After hearing this, Li Longji became less wary of Liu Shu.

He's just a naughty boy.

He was an unpopular bastard and posed little threat to him.

The three people returned to the flower hall and waited for a long time. Then a palace servant took them into a palace.

The banquet has been set up there.

Everyone sat down according to their status.

Liu Shu glanced at the food on the low table in front of him. There were not many varieties, mainly grilled meat and sashimi.

Liu Shu doesn't like eating sashimi, and he doesn't want to eat parasites into his stomach.

Liu Shu ate a few pieces of barbecue and some fruits.

Listening to the conversation between Wu Zetian and Princess Taiping.

The only one who dared to chat with Wu Zetian without restraint was Princess Taiping. Li Xian and Li Dan were only too submissive and only knew how to flatter the two mother and daughter. They didn't dare to say a word. A trace of disappointment flashed in Wu Zetian's eyes.

After the palace banquet, Li Xian left the palace with his wife and children.

Wu Zetian waved her hand, and the other palace people retreated, leaving only Shangguan Wan'er.

Wu Zetian: "How?"

Shangguan Wan'er knew what Wu Zetian was asking and said, "A very smart child who knows how to hide his incompetence and pretend to be stupid."

If it were someone else, he would have been fooled by that kid long ago.

But who is Shangguan Wan'er?

Having met so many people, Shangguan Wan'er can tell who is truly smart and who is just being smart.

Wu Zetian: "Compared with Li Longji?"

Shangguan Wan'er: "Li Longji is also very smart. He is very ambitious, but the young master has no ambition."

Wu Zetian: "No ambition? That's even more interesting."

Shangguan Wan'er lowered her head, lowered her eyebrows and looked submissive, and did not respond.

The return of Li Xian's family sent a signal to everyone in the court.

After all, Wu Zetian was old.

All the ministers hoped that she could return power to Li Tang.

Of course, the Wu brothers also have supporters, but not many.

After all, Li Tang is still authentic.

Many people began to visit Li Xian.

More young people also began to come into contact with princes such as Li Chongrun and Li Chongjun.

There are also people trying to please Liu Shu and win him over.

Liu Shu pretended to be young and knew nothing, looking like a fool.

Sometimes the things you say are so embarrassing that others can't even save face.

After many times, fewer people came to see him.

Liu Shu was happy and relaxed.

There were many people coming and going in the palace, disturbing people's peace and quiet, so Liu Shu simply moved out of the city.

Mrs. Lu was very pleased with Liu Shu's tact and good behavior, so she gave Liu Shu a small farm in the suburbs.

The small village is very small. There are only three hectares of land and only a dozen or so farmers.

The owner's house is just a small courtyard with two entrances.

Liu Shu didn't dislike it and was actually very satisfied.

It is indeed quiet here.

Moreover, this place is close to the mountains. Occasionally, Liu Shu can go into the mountains to hunt and pick some good quality herbs from the mountains.

Liu Shu heard a commotion ahead and glanced at Yu Mo, the servant beside him.

Yu Mo immediately ran forward to find out what was going on.

After a while, Yu Mo ran back and reported: "A child drowned. When he was rescued, he was already dead. He is the only son in his family. Now his parents and three sisters are crying their hearts out."

Liu Shu raised his eyebrows, thinking of the scenes in many time-travel novels where the time travelers used first aid to save people who fell into the water.

Haha, maybe it’s his turn to show off this time.

"Make way, make way, the owner of the manor is here."

Yumo cleared the way for Liu Shu.

The farmers hurried to make way for Liu Shu.

Liu Shu came to the family and saw the little boy lying on the ground.

He extended a finger and pressed it against the aorta in the boy's neck.

There are still fluctuations, and people are still alive.

Liu Shu said to Yu Mo: "I say, you do."

Yu Mo nodded vigorously.

Yu Mo has great faith in his own young master.

My own son is a disciple of a master, and he has also taught him some skills!
