In Dunhua Square, the dazzling candlelight lit up again today, directly illuminating the entire Dunhua Square. On the streets, in the squares, by the lake, on the campus... rows of people came out to celebrate their sixth birthday for Li Heng, the little princess of Dunhua Square.

On that day, not only people in Chang'an celebrated Li Heng's birthday, but Li You, Li Mingda, and Qin Shaoyu, who were far away in Lingnan, also sent gifts to Li Heng, Li Ji, Ma Zhou, Cheng Yaojin and others... also sent their own gifts.

Li Ji appeared for a while, and finally Li Zhi was with Li Heng throughout the whole process, giving the little county lord enough face.

But just as everyone celebrated Li Heng’s birthday together, Wu Meiniang and Li Zhi had no idea how many times they had met each other, but both of them had their own helplessness.

Li Zhi likes Wu Meiniang very much, and he doesn't know why. When he saw Wu Meiniang at first sight, Li Zhi had completely fallen, but Li Zhi knew that there was a gap between him and Wu Zetian, which was the issue of their status.

Wu Meiniang is the woman of her father Li Shimin, so she is her little mother. How could she fall in love with her father's woman? What a shameful thing, so Li Zhi warned herself to restrain her emotions.

During this period, Li Zhi has always been close to Wu Meiniang. Originally, Wu Meiniang did the same, but now it’s different. Wu Meiniang can no longer see hope in the palace. Now Wu Meiniang has been completely ignored by Li Shimin, so Wu Meiniang must save herself.

As for how to save yourself, only the prince in front of you. After all, besides the emperor, the prince is the most honorable of the Tang Dynasty. And what is important is that Wu Meiniang can see a desire and a desire to possess herself in the eyes of the prince.

Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang looked at each other again. Wu Meiniang felt Li Zhi's desire to possess, so Wu Meiniang made up a little and began to fight for herself.

................

It was about the early morning when Li Heng's birthday party ended. Everyone went back to their own houses and looked for their mothers. After Li Zhi kissed Li Heng's cheek, he was about to go back in his own carriage.

However, just after Li Zhi got on the carriage, the carriage had not yet begun to move forward. Suddenly, Li Zhi heard a faint crying sound on one side of the carriage. This sound was the voice of a woman.

A woman was crying on this happy day, which attracted Li Zhi's attention. Then Li Zhi stopped to see why a woman was crying next to her frame.

Li Zhi drank Ren Hu and others and walked to the left of the car alone. Following Li Zhi, he saw a woman in palace clothes crying silently not far away, and she was still a person in the palace.

Li Zhi became interested and quietly walked to the woman's side, and suddenly asked softly: "What's wrong with you..."

The woman in the palace dress was obviously frightened by Li Zhi, so she stood up from the chair and turned around. This turn of her body shocked Li Zhi because the woman in the palace dress in front of her was Wu Meiniang who was looking at Simulue.

Just when Li Zhi was shocked, suddenly, Wu Meiniang screamed, and her body staggered and fell directly into Li Zhi's arms because of the unstable center of gravity. Li Zhi was quick-eyed and quickly held Wu Meiniang in his arms.

For a moment, the faint feeling of emotion spread around.

"Ah...!" Wu Meiniang screamed and broke the ambiguous feeling. Wu Meiniang instinctively wanted to leave Li Zhi's arms, but as soon as she pushed it away, Wu Meiniang fell into Li Zhi's arms again because of the unstable center of gravity of her body.

Li Zhi looked at Wu Meiniang again and asked with some concern: "Are you okay..."

"No...no...no...no, thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince for your concern. I will leave first..." After saying that, Wu Meiniang was about to turn around and leave, but just when Wu Meiniang was about to leave, she was slowing down.

At this time, Li Zhi, who had been staring at Wu Meiniang, saw Wu Meiniang's slowness. After thinking for a while, Li Zhi still leaned over and asked, "Are you crying here just now? Can that tell me what happened to you? If possible, I hope I can help you."

After hesitating for a while, Wu Meiniang wanted to leave, but after thinking for a while, he stopped again and turned around. At this time, Wu Meiniang's face was covered with tears, and her pitiful appearance deeply hit the softest part of Li Zhi's heart.

"Mei Niang, what's wrong? You tell Gu that Gu will definitely help you." Li Zhi took a step forward slightly and held Wu Meiniang's hands on both hands.

This made Wu Meiniang cry loudly, and then Wu Meiniang leaned on Li Zhi's chest weakly and sobbed hard. This cry almost made Li Zhi's heart melt.

Afterwards, under Li Zhi's comfort, Wu Meiniang began to tell the reason why she had just cried. It turned out that the family outside the palace had sent a letter saying that her mother was seriously ill, but even so, the brother at home still had to rush her mother to the side of the canal to do laundry every day. Her mother was already ill and fainted in bed and was also humiliated by her brother.

While talking and crying, Li Zhi clenched his fists when he heard it. Everyone knew that Li Zhi was very filial and was a person who knew how to be grateful, whether to others or to himself.

So even a stepmother would be very angry when such a person heard someone abused his mother. Then, Li Zhi promised Wu Meiniang that he would help Wu Meiniang see Wu Meiniang's mother and punish Wu Meiniang's brothers who were not filial.

Wu Meiniang thanked her repeatedly and knelt in front of Li Zhi. When she left, she kissed Li Zhi personally on the cheek. This gentle kiss made Li Zhi completely forget it.

Next is the separation. Wu Meiniang had already put down the bait and was waiting for Li Zhi to take the bait himself. Li Zhi did not let the beauty down. The next day, he secretly asked Ren Hu to Wu Meiniang's home in Chang'an.

Ren Hu is a very filial child. After all, he was raised by his widow mother. But what Ren Hu didn't expect was that after he came to Wu Meiniang's home, he saw a very miserable scene.

There were four men in total, punching and kicking three women at Wu Meiniang's home. These three women were Wu Meiniang's mother and sister, and the four men were Wu Meiniang's four brothers.

The reason for beating people is very simple. These people want to beat people. A miserable voice came from the yard. Ren Hu really couldn't bear it anymore. What's the point? Four big men beat three women, one of which was his mother.

Ren Hu rushed in without saying a word and beat Wu Meiniang's four elder brothers. Ren Hu was so angry that he beat him up, but what Ren Hu didn't expect was that he would pay a certain price for his impulse today in the future.

Ren Hu beat the four brothers of the Wu family. After the fight, the four brothers of the Wu family ran away. Then Ren Hu helped Wu Meiniang's mother and sisters up and gave the three people a sum of money, saying that these were brought out by Wu Meiniang in the palace.

Wu Meiniang's mother and sister were very grateful to Ren Hu. Then Ren Hu left his address, which was where he lived in Qinglong, and told Wu Meiniang's mother and sister that if he had trouble next time, he would go directly to find an address to find him.

After returning, Ren Hu told Li Zhi what happened today. Not only that, Ren Hu also inquired about Wu Mei Niang's family around Wu Mei Niang's house. Wu Meiniang's pitiful appearance was generally seen in front of Li Zhi.

At this time, after hearing this, Li Zhi also felt pity for Wu Meiniang. Once a man feels pity for a woman, the man will always think of this woman in his heart.

Sure enough, after this incident, Li Zhi began to secretly look for Wu Meiniang, and Wu Meiniang was still reluctant to accept it at first, but when Wu Meiniang found out that Li Zhi helped her mother, Wu Meiniang finally began to show her tenderness.

You should know that Li Zhi is now at the age when he was in love.

On the contrary, Wu Meiniang had been in the palace for seven or eight years at this time. She had been in the middle of life and was in her prime. She was a mature and steady "young woman". It was still easy for a young woman to seduce a young boy who had just started to fall in love, so Li Zhi was instantly fascinated by Wu Meiniang.

Their generations were indeed a bit chaotic at that time, including my mother and son. However, the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was a bit too open at that time, because the Tang Dynasty was established based on the culture of the Xianbei Dynasty. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Han people ruled southern China and the Xianbei people ruled northern China.

Because the Xianbei people were pursuing sinicization, many Han people were respected enough at that time, and many people entered the court as officials and generals. During the Western Wei Dynasty, Li Shimin's ancestors joined Yuwen Tai's Guanlong military aristocratic camp together with Yang Jian's ancestors and began to enter the center of power.

As Han aristocrats in Xianbei culture, they are often inevitably influenced by Xianbei culture, and they have accepted the opening up of Xianbei culture to a large extent.

What is the culture of the Xianbei people?

Xianbei culture is no different from other ancient grassland cultures, because the grassland environment is harsh and ethics cannot work in grassland culture.

In order to survive, women would marry any adult man who had a relationship with her husband after his husband died for some reason. Among these many relatives, except for her biological son, the women in the grassland at that time were as good as possible.

It is precisely because of this culture that Li Shimin married Li Yuanji after killing him... However, Li Shimin would never dream of his turn this time, his own son was going to attack his woman.

Hiding around, what should come will always come, but what should be done if Li You, who is far away in Lingnan, knows all this?
