Tang Dynasty: What! My mother is actually Empress Zhangsun

Taiji Palace.

Zichen Hall.

The morning court was over, and the civil and military officials left the hall in twos and threes, each going to their own government offices to work.

On the dragon throne, Li Shimin also shed his fatigue.

Today's court meeting made him very tired.

This year, the north was very cold, the grain harvest was poor, and food was in short supply in various places. The court urgently needed disaster relief funds.

The cattle and sheep of the Turks in the north also suffered heavy losses. Without food for the winter, these Turks were preparing to harass the border and plunder the border cities of the Tang Dynasty.

The Longxi garrison commander sent an urgent report six hundred miles away. The Tang Dynasty was arguing about whether to fight or make peace.

"Go to the Queen!"

Li Shimin walked onto the dragon sedan chair, rubbed his brows, and said with a tired face.

In an instant, the mighty Jinwu Guards escorted the dragon sedan chair and headed towards the Lizheng Hall.

When they arrived at the Lizheng Hall, the palace maids hurried forward.

""Where's the Queen?"

Li Shimei opened her eyes and saw a group of palace maids kneeling on the ground to welcome the emperor's carriage, but the Queen was not there.

That's not right.

When the emperor's carriage arrived, according to the etiquette, the Queen also needed to go out of the palace to welcome him.

When the palace maid heard this, she immediately hesitated nervously.

"His Majesty!"

"Lords Fang and Du, as well as Lord Changsun, are all outside the Purple Palace, asking for an audience, saying they have urgent matters to report to His Majesty!"

At this moment, an old eunuch hurried over and said,

""Pass on my order, return to the Purple Palace as soon as possible!"

As soon as the imperial carriage stopped, it headed towards the Purple Palace again.

Looking at the imperial carriage going away, the maids in Lizheng Palace felt relieved.

They found out last night that the Empress was missing!

The maids and eunuchs in Lizheng Palace went crazy, searching frantically all night without closing their eyes, but they still couldn't find her.

"Your Majesty, where have you been?"......

It was noon.

Li Nian had been busy all morning and had just squeezed two large water tanks of sugarcane juice. At this rate, it would take at least two days to prepare the raw materials for 50 kilograms of brown sugar.

This kind of physical work was really strenuous for Li Nian.

Lying on the chair, Li Nian didn't even have the strength to move his fingers.

"No, I still need to find someone to help me!"

Wiping the sweat off his face, Li Nian panted.

He couldn't do such a big project all by himself.

"I remember that Old Man Su said that all the people living around here are military households, so I think they should be good at this job."

Li Nian did what he said. He got up, grabbed a chicken, locked the door, and walked towards the entrance of the alley.

It was noon, so he tried Old Man Su's tofu pudding.

When he arrived at the entrance of the alley, he found that the stall that was busy every day was empty today.

He stopped a passerby and asked, and then he learned that Old Man Su was sick, so he didn't set up the stall.

After asking about the address of Old Man Su's house, Li Nian came over.

Old Man Su's house was at the deepest part of the alley. There were several large furnaces at the door and a sign hanging. It was a blacksmith shop.

However, looking at the dust on the furnace, you can tell that no one has used it for some years.

Next to the blacksmith shop was a dilapidated gate.

Li Nian knocked on the door and shouted,"Is this Old Man Su's house?"

""Who is it?"

At this time, a crisp voice came, and the door opened, revealing a delicate and pretty face. It was Su Tan'er.

"Miss Tan'er, is Father Su here?"

After looking Li Nian up and down, Su Tan'er finally remembered and said,"You are the one......Can't make a fire, idiot!"

"......"

"What's that name?"

Li Nian frowned, but he managed a smile and said,"Is Father Su here? I'll look for him."

"Grandpa is ill and is resting in the house.

Su Tan'er made way for Li Nian to walk into the yard. Only then did she realize that the yard was a bit shabby and not much better than her own.

However, after some renovation, the two yards were incomparable.

The small yard was not big, and there were some vegetables planted on the open space next to it.

"Grandpa is in the east wing, come with me!"

Su Tan'er closed the door and took Li Nian to the east wing. Just as he was about to go in, he saw a burly young man coming out of the room. A pair of big hands pressed on his shoulders, and then with a force, he pushed him several meters away.

"You are the guy who always harasses my sister, right? I will beat you to death!"

Before Li Nian could see who it was, he heard a roar coming from the front.

"Brother, you are wrong, he is not!"

Su Tan'er saw that Su Yang had misunderstood, and hurried forward to explain

"Yang'er, don't be unreasonable!"

Just as Su Yang was about to take action, he saw Old Man Su walking out of the room with a hunched back, leaning on a cane, and looking pale.

"Grandpa!"

When he saw Old Man Su, Su Yang, who was ferocious just now, immediately became obedient and hurried forward to support Old Man Su.

"Young Master, are you okay?"

Old Man Su coughed twice and stepped forward to ask

"without...It’s okay!"

Li Nian smiled bitterly and said,"This little brother is really strong!"

""Little brother, am I very small?"

Su Yang was immediately displeased when he heard it, and said in a sullen tone:"You look much shorter than me, and you dare to say I'm small!"

Old Man Su glanced at him, and Su Yang immediately became obedient.

Back in the house, Old Man Su asked Li Nian to sit down, and apologized repeatedly:"I'm sorry, sir, my grandson has had a bad temper since he was a child, please forgive me!"

"It's okay!"

Li Nian smiled and waved his hand, saying,"I heard that you were not feeling well, so I came to see you."

""Thank you for your concern, young master."

Old Man Su hurriedly bowed.

The two of them had only met a few times, and he was very touched that Li Nian came to see him.

"This chicken is a token of my love, please accept it!"

When Old Man Su heard this, he waved his hands again and again,"Absolutely not. Young Master, you can come to see my old bones. This kindness, I accept it."

"But I absolutely cannot accept this gift."

Su Yang on the side glared and stepped forward and said,"Take the things away, my family doesn't need them!"

"This kid has a very bad temper!"

Li Nian understood after seeing Su Yang's attitude.

Although this old man Su is poor, he is not poor in spirit. He has the backbone of the Tang Dynasty border army!

In their view, Li Nian's approach is tantamount to charity.

Li Nian apologized repeatedly:"I am inconsiderate, Dad, please don't misunderstand."

"I came here today to ask for your help!"

Old Man Su brushed his beard and said with a smile,"Sir, if you have anything to say, just tell me. But I absolutely cannot accept this gift."

"Don't rush to refuse. I have some hard work in my yard, but you can see that I have thin arms and legs and can't do it. I want to ask Dad to help me find someone to help."

As he said, he looked at Su Yang on the side and said,"I think Brother Su is pretty good."

"Brother?"

Su Tan'er blinked and looked at Li Nian with curiosity.

Su Yang also frowned and looked at Li Nian warily.

"You let me go, are you attracted to my sister? Do you want to frame me and meet my sister?"

"......"

Li Nian looked at Su Tan'er beside him and thought,"It seems this little girl has a lot of suitors."

"Brother!"

Su Tan'er blushed and stomped her feet.

"Dad, I don't know if the rapist that Su Yang is talking about is..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a voice outside the door:"Dad Su, are you there?"

"He's here again!"

Su Tan'er covered her face with her hands, looking helpless.

""Who? Who's here again?"

Just as I was wondering, I saw a handsome young man coming into the room, followed by several followers, holding large and small bags of gifts in their hands.

The young man was only fifteen years old, but he was very handsome, with a tall figure and noble air.

"Father Su, Huaiyu heard that you were not feeling well, so she specially invited a doctor from the mansion to treat you."

"Huaiyu?"

"What's this guy's last name?"

Li Nian looked at Su Tan'er and asked in a low voice

"Qin!"

Su Tan'er responded quietly

"Damn it, Qin Huaiyu!"
