Wu Meiniang was happy after hearing Li Zhi's agreement and said to Li Sujie: "Little baby Sujie, my mother will take you to hunt now. You must show off your riding and shooting skills and let the messengers of the foreign countries see that you are a very powerful prince!"

Li Zhi said excitedly, "He is so young, so what kind of kung archery skills may he have? He can't even sit steadily if he lets him sit on the bed!"

Wu Meiniang curled her lips and said, "The prince is not very big. Even if he can sit firmly on the bed, he can't sit firmly on the right time. Why can he show his skills in riding and shooting? Can't we do this?"

Li Zhi felt helpless and thoughtfully explained that it was just a statement, a ceremony, but he understood that what Wu Meiniang understood was just "protecting the baby". He said, "You, the first time you hugged this child, I treated him as my biological child. Just protect him, and I even made a point of reasoning!" As he said that, he shook his head with a smile.

Wu Meiniang said, "This child is destined to me, and it feels like he is connected with flesh and blood. It's really amazing. Maybe in the previous life, we were really mother and son!"

Li Zhi laughed and said, "He and I are also connected with each other in flesh and blood, and we are also destined to be together. In this way, the three of us had been raising our sons in our previous life, but we still haven't changed at all!"

Wu Meiniang wrapped Li Sujie again, wrapped it tightly, then she hugged it in her arms, and walked out of Gengyou Hall with Li Zhi, sat on the chariot, and went to Xuanwu Gate. Mi Xiaomiao accompanied her along and followed her all the way to Xuanwu Gate.

The first batch of accompanying imperial guards and ministers were waiting outside the door, but there were not many people, including two battalions of imperial guards, and there were no important officials among the ministers, most of them were minor officials. The important officials had to set out with the brigade tomorrow. Li Zhi was now "unconventional" leaving Beijing, so the important officials did not have to see him off, nor did they have to follow him now.

Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang left Xuanwu Gate, got on the carriage, and walked towards Tongguan under the escort of the imperial guards. At this time, it was dark and there were no pedestrians on the road. Even a few people who were rushing to the woods were driven to the woods by the imperial guards. The imperial guards roared and ran in front and behind the brigade, making it look like they were going to fight, and it was quite marching.

After walking for more than half an hour, the convoy only traveled twenty miles. A captain came to report that there was a forest in front and a tent was ready inside. He asked the emperor to come over and rest. He arrived here tonight.

Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang came out of the car, but did not enter the tent immediately. The summer night was cool and the breeze was very comfortable. The guards lit a bonfire and started barbecuing rabbits, pheasants and other things. They felt comfortable, so they naturally had to stay outside for a while.

It was too hot around the bonfire, and Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang stayed in front of the tent away from the bonfire. Wu Meiniang coaxed Li Sujie, while Li Zhi walked around.

After strolling for a while, Li Zhi walked back and said, "Mei Niang, the place is well-tied, the weeds are cleaned up, and there are no mosquitoes. It seems that although it is hasty, Ma Zhou still arranges the itinerary very well. I thought he was thrown up by me and he would deliberately neglect it."

Wu Meiniang said, "Mr. Ma is a steady person. How could he neglect the emperor's itinerary? He is your serious master!"

Li Zhi nodded, sat next to Wu Meiniang, looked at Li Sujie, and said, "This child is very well-behaved, but he is not as disobedient as Mi Xiaomiao said. It is probably because they don't take good care of him, but they say bad things about my son." As he said that, he stretched out his hand and pinched Li Sujie's little face. Li Sujie started to whisper.

Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "Look, you made his face red and he didn't cry. Actually, this child is quite slander!"

They were talking, and a person came from the campfire. He was a little official in a green robe. The little official came with a roasted rabbit in his hand and smiled and said with a charming smile: "Emperor, Empress, I have brought wild game. Do you want to drink some wine and eat some other staple food? Just eating rabbit meat will be afraid that it will be greasy!"

Li Zhi reached out to take the rabbit and said, "Take some other things too. Well, this rabbit is well baked. Did you get it just now?"

Wu Meiniang looked up and was overjoyed. This little official was nothing but Li Yi Mansion. The little official who was as timid as a mouse but had sharpened his head and wanted to climb up.

Li Yifu lowered his eyebrows and said with a pleasing look: "If you go back to the emperor, this rabbit was not taken out of the city, but was brought out from the city. We came out in a hurry and didn't have time to attack, so we prepared in advance."

Li Zhi said, "It's not a fight now. That's right. It's so late, and the rabbit has gone home to sleep. How could he be waiting for us to fight?"

Wu Meiniang was determined to "cultivate" Li Yi Mansion, and she said, "This person is honest in his words. If someone else is replaced, he would not have to show his merits in front of you, the emperor. He said that this rabbit was beaten by him and brought it to serve the emperor."

Li Zhi yelled and said, "It's quite honest." He tore off a piece of rabbit meat and handed it to Wu Meiniang. However, he saw Wu Meiniang shook her head, and put it in her mouth and chewed it. He nodded repeatedly. The rabbit was roasted very well, and the heat was in place, not salty or talked about, and the taste was just right.

But Wu Meiniang asked deliberately: "What's your name? Which adult is working as a servant?"

Li Yifu was happy. This little nun Yang was really good. It seemed that she had not shared the troubles with her in vain. She was really helpful to talk! But she wasn't a dancer, a nun, or something, why did she become a concubine again and hold the prince again? This is not an ordinary concubine, the kind who is very favored.

For a while, I couldn't think so much. He said, "If you go back to the empress, I will be a servant in the village. This time I ordered the minister Wang Xiangye personally. I asked me to travel with me because I have good barbecue skills and can serve people."

Li Zhi nodded while eating rabbit meat, and said, "It's really good to roast it. It seems that you often go out to hunt, and roast rabbits are very good!"

Li Yifu said, "The emperor doesn't know anything. It's not that I often go out to hunt, but that my wife has good cooking skills. I learned a few tricks with her and could get the emperor's praise. I will tell her when I go home, so that she will be happy too!"

This little pony is quite likable and beautiful. Even Li Yifu himself feels that his skill in flattering has increased, and it seems that he has surpassed Xu Jingzong, and there is a tendency to be better than his superiority than his superiority.

Wu Meiniang whispered and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, listen, he is really a honest person. He just said the skills he learned from his wife, and he didn't feel embarrassed to learn cooking with women."

Li Yifu hurriedly said: "The emperor asked, so I will naturally answer truthfully. If you are embarrassed or not, you can only let it go."

Li Zhi laughed twice, but didn't care, saying, "Go and get some wine. It doesn't taste happy enough if you have meat but not wine."

Li Yifu quickly agreed and trotted to get the wine.

Wu Meiniang said, "This man named Li Yi Mansion was well trained by my uncle. He was honest and diligent. Otherwise, his uncle would not have allowed him to serve him."

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Mei Niang has seen few people, but in fact, the officials in the court are basically like this. But, well, there are not many people who are as honest as him."

After a moment, Li Yifu ran back, took the wine, some staple food and side dishes, and put them aside. He was very good at judging people's faces, and did not stand aside and left far away. He would come over if the emperor greeted him.

Wu Meiniang said again: "He is quite eye-catching and price-oriented."

Li Zhi thought for a while and said, "Li Yifu, it seems that this name has been said by someone. Maybe I remembered it wrongly. He is a minor official, so no one has mentioned him to me." He just said casually, then focused on eating meat and drinking, and did not take this person to heart.

Wu Meiniang no longer praises her. If she continues to praise her, she will be suspected of beating the edge drum, which will backfire.

That night, they lived in the tent. Wu Meiniang insisted that Li Sujie sleep with her, but Li Zhi had no choice but to follow her. Fortunately, Li Sujie is indeed very well-behaved and slept honestly at night. But he cried once when it was almost dawn. Wu Meiniang immediately carried him out, but didn't quarrel at Li Zhi much.

Li Zhida felt Wu Meiniang's loving motherly heart and sighed in her heart that if Xiao Taiping was brought into the palace in the future, she would not know what she would be spoiled. Looking at how she loves Li Sujie so much now, you will know how she will love Xiao Taiping.

The next day, after breakfast, Li Zhi led Wu Meiniang forward again. At noon, a large group of people rushed up. Queen Wang, the prince, and a group of important officials, all the time came. Only Wang Ping'an did not come. He was still staying in the palace to perform rituals.

In the palace.

Wang Ping'an stood outside the Ganlu Hall and looked up at the sky. The more bored he was, the more bored he was. In the Enlightenment Hall, there were hundreds of monks sitting in the middle, Master Xuanzang sitting in the middle, chanting sutras and reliving the dead.

When Master Xuanzang heard that Wang Ping'an wanted him to enter the palace to perform rituals, he immediately agreed. For him, entering the palace to perform rituals was actually an advertisement. Since he could enter the palace to perform rituals for the emperor, it means that he was very capable. This would inevitably attract more good men and women to believe in gods and Buddhas, and in this way, he could achieve the purpose of promoting Buddhism.

So when Wang Ping'an mentioned it, he immediately brought his newly accepted disciples to the palace to perform rituals. If Wang Ping'an hadn't opposed it, he would have very likely to have done this ritual for 9981 days in one go and lived in the palace.

After Master Xuanzang's scriptures came to an end, Wang Ping'an entered the hall and said, "Master Xuanzang, this ritual is still going well. I want to inform the emperor of the progress and I will not be with you in the palace. If you have something to do, just look for Master Mi to do it."

Mi Xiaomiao grinned beside her and thought to herself, "I am a fake chief manager now, and I am not the head of the company."

Wang Ping'an left the palace, rode his horse and rushed north to chase Li Zhi's brigade. He rode fast, but it didn't take long to catch up with the brigade.
