Inside the imperial study.

"Yue Yun, see your Majesty!"

After seeing Li Chengdao, Yue Yun immediately knelt down and saluted.

"Get up."

Li Chengdao said with a smile, and Yue Yun also stood up in response.

Looking at the tall and heroic Yue Yun in front of him, Li Chengdao couldn't help but sigh: "I haven't seen you for three years, and you have grown into a young man."

"How about it? Do you still want my Fangtian Painted Halberd now?"

Yue Yun only joined the army three years ago. At that time, Yue Fei took him into the palace to meet Li Chengdao, who happened to be practicing martial arts in the imperial garden at that time.

When Yue Yun saw the Fangtian painted halberd in Li Chengdao's hand, he liked it at first sight, and then asked Li Chengdao for it.

Li Chengdao also found it interesting and told Yue Yun that if he could beat him, he would give him Fang Tian's painted halberd.

Yue Yun was young and energetic at the time, so he agreed immediately. Naturally, he failed miserably.

After hearing Li Chengdao's words, Yue Yun couldn't help but blush, scratched his head and said: "I was young and ignorant at that time, and I just did such rude behavior to His Majesty. After I went back, my father made me kneel all night."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Li Chengdao laughed loudly, walked out of the dragon case and patted Yue Yun on the shoulder and said: "It is a good thing for young people to have ambitions. If one day you really succeed your father and become the pillar of our country in the Tang Dynasty, I will draw Fang Tian's halberd It doesn’t hurt to give it to you.”

"Anyway, I'm in this palace all day long, so Fang Tian's painted halberd is of no use."

Such words are deep expectations and encouragement.

Yue Yun was naturally moved and bowed to Li Chengdao again.

After some exchanges between the emperor and his ministers, Li Chengdao asked, "Why did you enter the palace today?"

Yue Yun was an upright person. Hearing this, he said straight to the point: "I'm here to ask your Majesty for something."

"Oh? Are you here to beg me again? Please tell me."

Li Chengdao said.

"I sincerely request your Majesty to terminate the engagement between Princess Changle and Changsun Zhongshu's son, Changsun Chong."

Yue Yun said seriously.

Hearing this, Li Chengdao was stunned. It was actually about Li Lizhi's engagement?

Changsun Wuji came to ask him to grant marriage to Changsun Chong and Li Lizhi, but Yue Yun came to beg him to terminate the engagement between the two. This is really incredible.

"There has been an engagement between Changle and Changsun Chong for a long time. Why do you want me to come forward to terminate their engagement?"

Li Chengdao frowned and turned his gaze to Yue Yun.

Yue Yun didn't even think about it and answered directly: "Because I have long admired Princess Changle and want to marry her."

"I can guarantee that Li Zhi definitely does not like Changsun Chong. If she really liked him, why would she not return to Chang'an for three years and avoid the engagement?"

"Your Majesty, please agree to this!"

Yue Yun lowered his head deeply and said.

After listening to what he said, Li Chengdao realized what a bloody thing this was.

Changsun Chong liked Li Lizhi, and Yue Yun also liked Li Lizhi. One asked for a marriage, and the other asked for an end to the engagement. This is really...

"Your father doesn't know about this, does he?"

Li Chengdao asked.

According to Yue Fei's character, if he knew about this, he would not be able to let Yue Yun enter the palace and ask him to do such a thing.

Yue Yun was silent for a moment and then said: "Father already knows that I sneaked out secretly."

"You...if your father knows that you have entered the palace, he will beat you to death!"

Li Chengdao suddenly felt a headache.

After thinking for a moment, he said: "You should go back to the house first. Don't let your father find out that you have come out. If he finds out, he will say that I summoned you."

"Let me think about this matter. Just go back and wait for news."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yue Yun was overjoyed. Li Chengdao did not refuse directly. That meant there was still hope, and he did not expect an immediate answer from Li Chengdao.

After bowing, Yue Yun left the imperial study.

"Ugh……"

Watching Yue Yun leave, Li Chengdao sighed and returned to the back of Long An.

There are still a lot of government affairs that need to be dealt with on the Long case, but he has no time to deal with these government affairs now.

The matter between Li Lizhi, Changsun Chong and Yue Yun really gave him a headache.

If you agree to grant marriage to Li Lizhi and Changsun Chong, it will be difficult for Yue Yun to handle it, and as Yue Yun said, Li Lizhi may not really like Changsun Chong.

But if the engagement between Changsun Chong and Li Lizhi was terminated, he would not be able to explain to Changsun Wuji and ruin his son's marriage. This was not a good behavior and could easily alienate the monarch and his ministers.

Therefore, Li Chengdao was extremely conflicted and didn't know which side to prefer.

It was okay to deal with other things, but this kind of household affairs for courtiers made him feel like he had no way to start.

Because he was upset, Li Chengdao walked out of the Dragon Case and paced back and forth in the imperial study, his brows furrowed tightly.

The eunuchs and maids in the imperial study did not dare to disturb him at all, and even their breathing slowed down. The only sound in the room was Li Chengdao's footsteps.

And all this was seen by Wu Meiniang.

After seeing what Changsun Wuji and Yue Yun were asking for, as smart as she was, she could naturally figure out what troubles Li Chengdao was having in his heart, and she also thought of countermeasures.

But should she tell her?

Wu Meiniang raised her eyes slightly and took a look. Several eunuchs and maids in the royal study all lowered their heads deeply. Gao Huai was standing next to the bead curtain not far away.

Speaking without permission as a servant is a taboo in the palace. If she fails to get Li Chengdao's approval, she will be severely punished and expelled from the palace.

But if you don't say...

If she wants to attract the emperor's attention again, she doesn't know how long it will take.

For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Wu Meiniang's mind, and then she suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I have a solution."

As soon as these words came out, Gao Huai's eyes were full of shock and anger, as well as the shocked eyes of other eunuchs and maids.

But Wu Meiniang's heart was as stable as a rock and her eyes were firm.

She decided to take a gamble!

"Bold! This is not something that your little maid can talk about!"

Gao Huai's face was full of anger and he scolded him mercilessly.

He thought that this show girl was a sensible person, but he didn't expect that she would do such a thing. It was simply lawless!

However, Wu Meiniang seemed not to hear anything, and just raised her head and looked at Li Chengdao.

After hearing Wu Meiniang's words, Li Chengdao also turned his gaze over, raised his hand slightly to signal Gao Huai to calm down, then raised his eyebrows and said, "You said you have a way?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I have a way to solve this problem."

Wu Meiniang lowered her head slightly and said.

"Tell me and listen. If it satisfies me, I will forgive you."

Li Chengdao's eyes moved slightly and asked.

Wu Meiniang breathed a sigh of relief, and then replied sternly: "I have two ways. The first way is to see who your Majesty prefers."

"If Your Majesty prefers General Yue, then the engagement will be cancelled; if Your Majesty prefers Master Zhongshu, then Your Majesty will order a marriage."

Hearing this, Li Chengdao's eyes flashed with a hint of displeasure, and he said, "You still need to talk about this kind of thing, don't I know about it?"

What he was really struggling with was how to maintain the relationship between the monarch and his subjects. ..
