Early the next morning, Li Mu asked Li Bi for a ox cart, filled it with a full cart and three cups, took the big man Li Chongyi to deliver wine to the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan. Sun watched Li Mu take the people away, and sent the little girl Li Zhien away, and came to Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Mu's bedroom.

Bai Qiaoqiao was cleaning up the house. When she saw Sun coming in, she quickly got up. Sun pulled her down and asked in a low voice: "Qiaoqiao, I'll ask you something, you can't hide it from me."

Seeing that Sun was so serious, Bai Qiaoqiao didn't know what to ask, and she felt a little nervous and nodded, "Mom, you ask, I must not hide it from you."

"Then my mother asked... Qiaoqiao, are you and that stupid guy, have you two... done?

When Bai Qiaoqiao heard this, she immediately blushed, lowered her head and pinched her clothes and feet, and stammered: "It's not yet... The husband said that after getting married..."

"No wonder!" Sun said as if he understood something, "Qiaoqiao, it's because my mother is not thinking. I'll wash and go out with her. I'll take you to do something."

Bai Qiaoqiao was stunned and said, "Mom, what are you going to do?"

"Don't ask, hurry up and wash up. Mom goes to borrow a carriage from the second master of the Li family and leave later." After saying that, Sun went out in a hurry. Bai Qiaoqiao was panicked and didn't know what had happened, so she had to wash and dress up as she said, and prepare to go out.

The conversation was divided into two sides. When Sun borrowed a cart and took Bai Qiaoqiao and the little girl Li Zhien out, Li Mu rode a horse and Li Chongyi drove a ox cart and had just arrived at the gate of the imperial city.

The imperial palace of the Tang Dynasty was divided into two parts: the imperial city and the palace city. The imperial city was not the place where the emperor lived, but the place where the prime ministers worked, Taimiao, Taichang Temple, Honglu Temple, etc., and they were all set up in the imperial city. The real emperor lived in the palace city, Tai Chi Palace in the middle of the palace city, the East Palace on the east side, and the Yeting Palace on the west side, which is the legendary cold palace. The south wall has three city gates, Yong'an Gate, Chengtian Gate and Changle Gate. Chengtian Gate is in the middle and is not commonly used. It will only be opened when there are major national events or when the generals are triumphant, and it has a ritual effect. The north gate is the famous Xuanwu Gate. The three palace coups in the Tang Dynasty all occurred at Xuanwu Gate. Because this place is closer to Tai Chi Palace, the chance of success is greater, unlike the city gate on the south wall, where there is a square of hundreds of meters after entering the gate. The coup is originally a very risky thing, with a distance of hundreds of meters, and the variables are too great.

Li Mu entered the palace from Yong'anmen Gate. When he arrived at the palace gate, he could not ride a horse. Li Chongyi was a slave, so naturally he could not enter the palace either. The ox cart was handed over to the eunuch of the deacon, and Li Mu was led by a small eunuch to see the emperor Li Yuan from Taiji Palace. The eunuch led Li Mu to the palace gate and asked him to wait at the door. After a while, the eunuch came out again and said, "The emperor was not awake yet. Please wait for a while. When the emperor woke up, our family would call you again."

After saying that, the eunuch went in again and left Li Mu alone here.

What should I do? Wait! Li Mu looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he squatted down the steps, looked at the distant mountains, and looked in contemplation. In fact, he had nothing to think about, just staring blankly.

I don’t know how long it took, footsteps came from the east side, and there were still many people. Li Mu quickly stood up and saw that there were indeed people passing by, more than ten. The leader was elegant and luxurious, wearing clothes embroidered with phoenix patterns. Li Mu hurriedly cheered up. In this palace wall, there was only one person who could wear phoenix patterns, that is Queen Changsun of the current dynasty. This person is well-known. In the later generations, she is an absolute important figure and must be taken seriously.

Soon, Empress Changsun and her party arrived at the palace gate. Li Mu, such a living person, could naturally be seen. Empress Changsun looked him up and down and said, "Are you Li Mu, the Marquis of Zhulu who was granted the imperial seal a few days ago?"

Li Mu quickly bowed and said, "Mr. Li Mu, pay homage to the Empress."

"No need to be polite. I heard from Your Majesty that you are young and talented, brave and resourceful, and it is even more difficult to find the jade seal of the kingdom, and to fulfill the wish of the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty. I have made great contributions. You must be diligent in the future and be more worried about Your Majesty."

"Save the Queen's teachings."

Empress Changsun nodded slightly and brought people into the hall. Li Mu glanced at him and saw that the palace people following Empress Changsun were holding some toiletries and breakfast, so he couldn't help but wonder, Empress Changsun shouldn't be here to serve her father-in-law to get up?

Time passed in a moment, and an hour later, the eunuch who brought Li Mu over finally came out again and said, "The Supreme Emperor has already stood up and asked you to go in and talk."

Li Mu quickly responded. When he missed the eunuch, he handed over a piece of silver without leaving any trace. The eunuch was young and seemed to have never expected Li Mu to give him money. He was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted. As soon as he blocked his robe, the silver entered his sleeve, raised his head, and had already changed into a smile, saying, "Thank you, the Supreme Emperor is in a bad mood today, so you should be careful."

"Thank you for your reminder."

The two looked at each other and smiled, everything was indifferent.

When he entered the hall, he saw Li Yuan sitting on Hu's bed, half lying on his back, without any manners. A palace maid brought by Empress Changsun was drinking porridge for him. When Li Mu saw Li Yuan drinking porridge, he knew what the real "meal opened his mouth". The old man didn't move any movement. The palace maid handed the spoon to his mouth, and he opened his mouth. The palace maid carefully put it in, not daring to spend more or less, not even sprinkled it out, looking trembling.

Empress Changsun sat on a brocade stool with a dignified manner. Facing Li Yuan's appearance, there was no trace of impatient or angry expression in her eyes. Not to mention anything else, just this kind of cultivation can be done by several daughters-in-law in the future.

Seeing Li Mu coming, Li Yuan raised his hand to block the spoon handed over by the palace maid, waved and said, "Li Mu, you kid, let me wait, do you know your guilt!"

Li Mu observed his expression and saw that Li Yuan was not really angry. He turned his mind and snatched two steps forward, knelt on the ground, and said, "I know I am guilty. I shouldn't have let the Emperor wait for a long time. It's just because of a small mistake that delayed the time."

"Oh? Something went wrong, let me tell you what happened." As he said that, Li Yuan ordered the palace servants next to him and said, "Take a Hu chair for Zhulu Hou."

Li Mu complained in his heart, what's the matter? Empress Changsun sat on a stool and sat on a chair for him. This old man is so bad! Li Mu looked at Empress Changsun apologetically, Empress Zhengsun smiled slightly and stood up and said, "Father, there is still something in the daughter-in-law in the harem. Come and greet you again during dinner. I hope your father will consider what I just mentioned."
