Chapter 2429 Refuse to Marry
It's like your beloved child is constantly being courted by someone with ulterior motives. You have to be on guard at all times to prevent your child from being coaxed away. The feeling of discomfort is simply indescribable.
Hearing that her father was coming, Princess Jinyang walked out from the back hall to greet her. However, when she saw the gloomy look on her father's face, her smile suddenly froze... She quickly looked around to see if there was something wrong. Did you make your father unhappy?
The maids bowed to greet them, and His Majesty Li Er's face sank like water. He walked straight to the mat in front of the window, gathered up the hem of his clothes, and sat down on his knees.
Princess Jinyang quickly ordered her maid to get a tea set with boiling water, and then she carefully came to His Majesty Li Er, knelt down obediently, blinked her bright eyes, and asked softly: "What's bothering you, Father? Why don't you tell me? It’s better to come out than to be stuck in your heart with no one to talk to.”
His Majesty Li Er snorted.
What's the use of saying it?
If I were told to clean up everything in this room and throw it away, my mood would instantly improve. Would you be willing to listen?
Then he remained silent.
Princess Jinyang couldn't figure out what her father was thinking. She seemed to be in a bad mood every time she came to her place. Was it because she was in a bad mood that she came to my place, or was it because she came to my place that she was in a bad mood? What about causing a bad mood?
I always felt that the father in front of me seemed to be angry with someone, but I didn't know what was going on, and it was difficult to persuade him. Just as the maid brought a tea set with boiling water, he quickly made tea, and ordered the maid to bring snacks, and he drank the tea and ate it. Have some snacks and talk to your father.
His Majesty Li Er took a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and asked as if unintentionally: "Fang Jun was assassinated and was seriously injured. Have you visited him?"
Princess Jinyang nodded lightly: "Well, on the day my brother-in-law returned home, my daughter went to visit him."
When talking about this matter, his tone is unavoidable: "What's going on in the court now? Even if everyone is fighting, there should be some rules that must be observed. If everyone does this and commits assassinations at every turn, wouldn't it be wrong? People are worried and their lives are in jeopardy. My father should take care of him. If such a good brother-in-law dies, his daughter will definitely die of grief."
Although Fang Jun was not in danger of life, the huge arrow wound on his shoulder blade was still shocking even if it was wrapped with gauze. I heard that some people stood up to block the arrow in order to save Fang Jun and died on the spot. Just think about the time when the incident happened. Princess Jinyang was frightened for a while because of the critical situation. At that time, she lay on Fang Jun's bedside and cried for a while.
The girl has a kind heart and a sharp mind. She knows that Fang Jun dotes on her very much, and she treats Fang Jun as a relative.
She has many brothers-in-law, but only Fang Jun can call her "brother-in-law" and be recognized by her. She doesn't want anything to happen to this brother-in-law who has always loved and doted on her since she was a child.
However, these words stopped in the ears of His Majesty Li Er. It was inevitable that besides being unpleasant, it also awakened the worry that had been buried for a long time...
After thinking for a while, he swallowed the pastry. His Majesty Li Er looked at his daughter's increasingly beautiful face and asked tentatively: "My father is here today, but it is actually for your marriage..."
Hearing this, Princess Jinyang suddenly had a pretty expression on her face and said in a clear voice: "Why do you always worry about your daughter's marriage? My daughter has just grown hair, so she is not in a hurry to get married. Moreover, her illness has not healed and she may die at any time. Worry, if you leave after getting married, wouldn’t you be cheating others?”
This does sound somewhat reasonable.
After all, when Sun Simiao diagnosed Princess Jinyang, he said that the disease was old and stubborn. Although it had weakened for a while, it had not been eradicated. She should take good care of her health and postpone marriage for a few years. As the apple of the Tang Emperor's eye, Princess Jinyang's status is incomparable, but she also brings great pressure and crisis to the consort.
Just imagine, if Princess Jinyang's old illness relapses after getting married, given His Majesty Li Er's temperament and doting on Princess Jinyang, the consort will definitely be angered, and even the whole family will face the emperor's wrath... Who can bear it?
However, His Majesty Li Er believed that this was an excuse and patiently tried to persuade him: "How can you think so? As a father, I have seen that you have a rosy complexion and a healthy body these days. Basically, all the problems you had when you were a child have not happened again. After recovering from illness, Sun Simiao probably said those words just out of caution, but in fact they were not It doesn't matter. You are getting older and will eventually get married. Is it possible to stay in the palace for a lifetime and watch you and Xiao Yao get married and have children, and then find a suitable marriage for your sister Changle? Have an explanation for your mother’s spirit in heaven, otherwise you will feel uneasy and terrified day and night!”
Speaking of emotional aspects, this emperor who was so decisive in killing actually shed tears at the corners of his eyes and was so moved...
Princess Jinyang is a little helpless. Instead of giving a strong order to get married without saying a few words in the past, she instead treats her with affection and treats her with kindness?
I wonder which evil spirit gave my father the idea...
Thinking about the countermeasures in her heart, Princess Jinyang lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes with her small white hands. Her voice was slightly choked: "I don't know what my daughter did wrong and made her father unhappy. Otherwise, why would my father repeatedly order my daughter to do so?" Getting married? My daughter doesn’t want to get married. Wearing colorful terry clothes, carrying chicks by her side, serving her father all her life... I only regret that my mother's death was too early, otherwise why would my daughter be in such trouble? Life is so hard..."
His delicate body was sobbing, and his expression was aggrieved. Even if the stone man saw it, it would still change his heart, let alone his father who regarded him as the apple of his eye?
His Majesty Li Er felt distressed and helpless at the same time, and suddenly he had one head and two heads.
This little girl, every time she was reluctant to what she said, would reveal her behind the scenes... But His Majesty Li Er still did this trick, and it never worked.
Seeing his daughter's broken bead-like tears falling drop by drop, His Majesty Li Er suddenly panicked and couldn't tell whether it was real crying or fake crying. He could only comfort himself and said: "That's all, it's my father's fault. Can’t the father apologize to Si Zi for his crime? Alas! The father will never mention the marriage again. As long as you don’t want to get married, then you can stay with the father for the rest of your life. What do you think?”
Princess Jinyang wiped away her tears, looked up at His Majesty Li Er, and asked, "Is this true?"
Although he knew that he had fallen into his daughter's trap, His Majesty Li Er had no choice but to say: "You have no joke!"
Then Princess Jinyang wiped away her tears, poured tea with her own hands and brought it to His Majesty Li Er, with a sweet smile on her pretty face: "Father, drink tea!"
"...Alas!"
His Majesty Li Er was full of melancholy and depressed, so he had no choice but to take the tea and drink it all in one gulp.
I thought that I had been wise and mighty for half my life, and that all the heroes in the world could follow the laws of heaven and the Constitution. All my sons were outstanding among men, but in the end, they were all trembling in front of me, fearing that they would make mistakes. The words are worshiped as gods, and one does not dare to disobey them in the slightest.
In the end, there was nothing she could do about her daughter. Princess Changle lived in seclusion in the palace, spending more than half of the year in the Taoist temple in Zhongnan Mountain. Countless people came to propose marriage, and the outstanding disciples of Guanzhong fucked her one by one, but no one looked at her. What caught my eye was that I was looking at a big boss. Could it be possible that he would be alone and helpless for the rest of his life?
It's good now. Changle's matter has not yet been resolved, and the situation is the same with Sizi.
He was very angry, but he couldn't show any authority in front of his daughter. No one was afraid of him... Could it be that this was the "daughter slave" that Fang Jun jokingly called when talking and laughing?
It is simply a disgrace to the emperors of all times and times...
Depressed for a moment, His Majesty Li Er thought that he should remind his daughter that now that she is getting older and it is time to talk about marriage, she can no longer pester Fang Jun as she did when she was a child, and should keep a distance from him to avoid gossip.
After thinking about it for a long time, it was still difficult for a father to say this, and he felt a little sad. If the queen was still alive, why would he need to worry about such things?
Although Concubine Yang was virtuous, she was too cold-tempered and did not care about these things, and would not rashly discipline Queen Wende's children. As for Concubine Wei and others, they were too selfish and he could not trust them at all.
On the other hand, Concubine Xu has a cheerful and cheerful personality, but she is too young and has difficulty convincing the public. No one will listen to her...
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh again.
The experience of being a father and a mother is really not that wonderful...
It's just that there are some things that I can't just ignore. Marriage is a major matter of life. I can't put my hope on the illusory question of immortality, hoping to live forever and take care of my daughter for the rest of her life, right? (End of chapter)
