Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Three hundred and seven marriages
In the next few days, in the back garden of the Daming Palace, the imperial palace in Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty, a panting voice could often be heard weakly shouting: "No, I can’t, I really can’t. I have to rest."
Under the withered yellow back garden under the winter sun, coupled with Li Zhi's feeble scream, the entire palace seemed lively and helpless.
The roadside where the two of them ran was full of court ladies and eunuchs, each holding a towel or a water glass, watching the emperor being pushed from behind by the prince.
His Majesty’s legs are like lead, and he refuses to continue running forward when he says nothing. With his ears erect, he waits to hear the five-wheeled hourglass tell the time.
The five-year-old Li Lingyue's face was red with cold, and she stood beside Wu Mei and shouted cheer for her father.
The eight-year-old little fat man, Li Dan, has a tight face, and the fifth-year-old is just torturing his father, so why let him run with him? It’s so cold, it’s better to go back to sleep.
Wu Mei looked at an emperor and prince who pushed back and retreated. During this period of time, although Li Zhi has been complaining, the benefits are obvious. At least sleep is better than usual, and look at the energy. It is indeed much stronger than before.
Finally heard the melodious sound of the time telling, Li Zhi's legs seemed to be energized, and he got into the pavilion where Wu Mei and Li Lingyue were sitting, surrounded by transparent glass, plus a small The oven is unusually warm.
Simple breakfast Li Zhi has stopped complaining now. He doesn't even want to take a bath, wipes his hands and face casually, and starts to enjoy the simple breakfast that Li Hong specially matched for him.
Li Hong was wearing single clothes and trousers, and rushed in with a cold wind. Li Lingyue giggled and hurriedly hid behind Wu Mei when she saw it, fearing that the emperor would put his cold hand on her little face.
As soon as I ate breakfast with Li Hong, Wu Mei's words sounded in my ears: "These kelp or something, haven't you sent something to the Xiao family?"
Wu Mei's words startled Li Hong. It's not like the two rivals have to make up, right? Could this kind of thing happen in the palace?
Li Zhi looked at Li Hong silently, Li Hong said helplessly: "No."
"Then, after you came back from the Western Regions, have you visited?" This time it was Li Zhi asking.
Li Hong shook his head helplessly, wondering what happened to the dragon father and dragon mother this morning? No matter what the topic was, she wandered around Concubine Xiao Shu.
"Bring some kelp over and have a look." Li Zhi said nonchalantly.
Li Hong nodded and said: "Yes, father, my son will send someone to send some in a while."
"Let you go yourself." Wu Mei took the chopsticks and knocked Li Hong's hand to Li Dan's little cheek, and said angrily.
Li Hong was speechless, but didn't know. In the past few days, Concubine Xiao Shu looked at her two princesses. Yiyang and Gao An are now old, but they still live in the palace. No one thinks of these two. The princess's marriage.
So when Concubine Xiao Shu went to chat with Li Zhi, she suddenly knelt down and asked Li Zhi to beg the queen for her, hoping to make the decision to find a better family for the two princesses.
So, the emperor and the queen mentioned this incident on the stage. As for why I told Li Hong, it was because the emperor and the empress were not blind, they had already known about Yiyang, and that who was still guarding Anxi. The generals, Quan Yi, have been teasing between Hongyan.
As for Gao'an, Wu Mei had already discovered that he still had contact with Li Hong, an official in the Prince's Mansion, and that was one of the Zuo Shuzi on the Fourth Grade of the Prince's Mansion. His name was Wang Xun and Wu Mei. I also checked his background, a sideline of Jinyang Wang's unwillingness.
Wu Mei today asked Li Hong to go to the Nine Immortals Gate in the harem. The reason was that Li Hong went to talk to the Concubine Xiao Shu, and the marriage of the two princesses was planned to be handled by Li Hong, in order to humiliate Concubine Xiao Shu The purpose is self-explanatory, your two daughters are not worthy to be married by the palace for them.
Li Hong took the little fat man Li Dan who was still bowing his head and took Xiaoxue who helped him with his clean clothes. He ran to Li Dan’s palace and took a bath, then led Xiaoxue and took the kelp to Walked to the Jiuxianmen.
Looking at Li Hong's departure, the couple of dragons and phoenixes returned to Zichen Hall. Many royal family members came here to ask for a meeting. Everyone had only one purpose, and that was to ask the emperor to approve the Taiyi City General Chamber of Commerce. With other local chambers of commerce, allow them to trade with old money.
And this is not the first group of people Li Zhi has met in the past few days, and even some of the rich and powerful families with whom the royal family is inextricably linked have expressed this implicitly.
Li Hong probed into the Jiuxianmen, and saw a clean courtyard empty. He looked at the scenery in the courtyard. Except for a small flowerbed, there was a shelf of yellow grape seedlings. There are two rocking chairs and a coffee table. Although it is not a precious wood, it is bright and clean.
The house in front of me is still very simple and unusual. The house constructed of blue bricks and blue tiles, except for the windows that use glass, is incompatible with any building in the luxurious, majestic, and gorgeous Daming Palace.
"Are you...? I don't know who you are looking for...?" A court lady who is about fifty years old, with patches on her clothes, and watching the uninvited guests Li Hong and Xiaoxue vigilantly , But the tone is still very respectful.
"You don't know me?" Li Hong frowned, and he didn't know her either, remembering that there was no such lady in front of Concubine Xiao Shu.
"Forgive me for my clumsy eyes, I don't know who you are." The maid still has a respectful attitude.
Except for the emperor, the only ones who come here are occasional eunuchs who will come here to give some, some life rewards from your majesty, and two princesses will come here, except for the above three, no outsiders will come all year round. here.
Looking at the person in front of you, it is definitely not an eunuch. The little girl behind is a palace dress. Which prince will the person in front of you be? But which prince dare to come here? Even if Concubine Shu's biological prince returned to Chang'an once a year, he would not dare to come here easily.
"Lan He, is your Majesty? I will come out now." Concubine Xiao Shu's voice sounded inside the room.
"Return to Concubine Shu, Your Majesty did not come." The maid who was replaced as Lanhe in front of him saluted Li Hong and said: "The slave servant is rude, the slave servant should go and tell her first."
Looking at the palace lady leaving, Li Hong shrugged to Xiaoxue and asked: "Where are Yiyang and Gao An? Are they not here often?"
"The servants don't know, I heard that they came over the other day." Xiaoxue said.
"Is it Hong'er?" Concubine Xiao Shu's joyous voice came from inside the door, and then the door was opened by the court lady just now, and Concubine Xiao Shu, dressed in blue, greeted her with a smile on her face.
Looking at Li Hong who was looking around in the yard, Concubine Xiao Shu didn't know why she felt a little sad, but she finally came. She really didn't misunderstand the person back then.
It's just that the prince who was originally tall back then has grown up again, and he has to look up at him.
"Erchen has seen his mother and concubine." Li Hong turned and stood with a smile, looking at Concubine Xiao Shu who seemed to have not changed in four years.
The two were looking at each other quietly. Finally, Li Hong said: "Time is easy to pass, but the mother and concubine are not old, but the merit of this Buddhist scripture? It seems that there are so many sons and ministers for Yiyang and Gao Ando. Look at some Buddhist scriptures."
"Lan He, give your Royal Highness a gift soon." Concubine Xiao Shu received his compliment and hurriedly asked the maid to salute Li Hong.
"The slave servant Lanhe has seen the prince, please atone for the rudeness of the slave servant just now." Lan He respectfully saluted Li Hong, but there was a slight tremor in his voice.
Is Concubine Shu going to be reset by your majesty? Why did his Royal Highness come to see Concubine Shu in person? He is not afraid that the queen will...?
Li Hong waved his hand casually, followed Concubine Xiao Shu into the room, and pointed to Xiaoxue and said, "I have brought some kelp, new things, but it will help you to stay beautiful, let Xiaoxue teach How to eat Lanhe."
"Thank you so much, Hong'er." Concubine Xiao Shu sat on the other side, watching Xiaoxue leave with Lanhe, and said with a serious face: "I haven't seen you in more than four years, Hong'er has really grown up." /
Li Hong simply told Concubine Xiao Shu about everything he could say about Li Sujie and other things when he came back, and his own affairs in Anxi.
After speaking, there was a brief silence between the two of them. In the end, Li Hong said, "Quan Yi is now the deputy rate of the fourth rank in the prince Zuowei~IndoMTL.com~ for a while. The minister could not let him succeed General Zuowei. You know, as for his family, a family in Qinzhou recommended him. Wang Xun is an offshoot of the Wang clan of Taiyuan, and now he is the prince Zuo concubine in the East Palace."
When Concubine Xiao Shu heard Li Hong's words, her face squeezed a bitter smile. Wu Mei finally wanted to humiliate herself. Although she was a prince, she was always a junior, but she wanted to preside over the marriage of the two princesses.
"There may still be room for reversal of this matter. Father doesn't want to look at it this way, and...Yiyang and Gao An are also in agreement with those two, if you don't care..."
"The mother and concubine that Hong'er said all understand, but...this...hey...I made them tired." Concubine Xiao Shu looked sad, obviously reluctant to marry the two princesses in this way.
Although the marriage of princesses is common in the Tang Dynasty, the arrogance and nobility of being a family of five surnames and seven families still made Concubine Xiao Shu unable to accept the etiquette system for a while, and suddenly demoted the two princesses. Embarrassed.
Li Hong can only follow with a silent sigh. In this age where formality is more important than substance, especially weddings and funerals, he will hope to have a high-standard ritual system to win a good luck for the happy event, and not to exaggerate. It's fine, but if she is so naked and humiliated as a royal princess, Concubine Xiao Shu, who is the mother and concubine, will naturally feel unfair to Yiyang and Gao An.
I suffered such humiliation and torture, and was confined in this world. In the end, I had to impair the two princesses. As for Li Sujie..., when I thought of this, Concubine Xiao Shu suddenly stretched out between her eyebrows.
It’s not right for the prince to be such an improper household, so what does the princess do? What's more, both of them are in the East Palace now. As long as Li Hong's crown prince is as stable as Mount Tai, everything can still see hope.
