Chapter 2572: Banquet in the Harem
Fang Jun was a little embarrassed. It was obvious that His Majesty Li Er had seen through his purpose of staying in the academy...
However, His Majesty Li Er did not hold on to this point. He obviously understood Changsun Wuji's temperament very well. After teasing him, he nodded and agreed: "You must pay special attention during this period. Zhao Guogong will definitely retaliate. This time, Changsun Huan's Death will definitely be counted on you, whether it is public or private , he will definitely not let it go, so even if his words are a little extreme, you should stay away. When walking outside, you should pay more attention to your own safety. Don't walk around unless you have nothing to do. Even if you have to go out, you should be careful. Be alert.”
He couldn't help but understand Changsun Wuji's vengeful temperament, and he also understood the strength of the Guanlong nobles. Even though they were showing obedience and restraint in the battle with the imperial power, everything seemed to follow the bottom line, but the Guanlong nobles were rampant in Mobei and Guanzhong. For hundreds of years, its strong strength is by no means as weak as it seems.
According to His Majesty Li Er's knowledge, there are hundreds of private soldiers of the Changsun family alone. These people are all elites who have undergone cruel and strict training for a long time. If they are really determined to get rid of anyone regardless of the consequences, they can withstand it. There are only a handful of people.
In the past few times, Fang Jun was assassinated. Although His Majesty Li Er did not have any real evidence, he had already concluded that it must be Changsun Wuji who carried out the assassination...
Fang Jun said: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I know what I know."
It is easy to dodge open guns and hard to guard against hidden arrows. He told others that he seemed confident and not afraid of the revenge of the Guanlong nobles. In fact, he was very panicked in his heart. Those guys could even use weapons such as crossbows and crossbows before they appeared. Use it, what other means can't be used?
He didn't want to die young and die.
At this moment, a female official knocked on the door to ask for an audience. Wang De greeted her. After a while, he returned and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness Jinyang sent a female official to invite the prince-in-law to come. He said that there happened to be fish from the East China Sea today. His Highness ordered the imperial kitchen to be renovated and invited the Prince Consort to enjoy it together, and His Highness Hengshan was also there.”
His Majesty Li Er obviously still had something to say, but after hearing this, he clicked his tongue and said helplessly: "Since Sizi invites you, then you can go over. After dinner, you can leave the palace on your own. If I have anything to do, I will do it separately. I’ll let you know.”
Fang Jun breathed a sigh of relief and felt grateful to Princess Jinyang in his heart. He was really on pins and needles at this moment, fearing that His Majesty Li Er might mention something wrong about his meeting with Princess Changle yesterday, and he would be offended if he was not careful. This Your Majesty will inevitably be punished...
He quickly stood up and said: "Then Weichen will go to His Highness Jinyang. It just so happens that Weichen wants to buy some dowries for His Highness Hengshan. I want to ask her if there is anything she particularly likes and try to find a way to get it for her."< br>
His Majesty Li Er's face became more kind, and he nodded and said: "You can be considered a member of your mother's family, so it is appropriate to buy some dowry, but you should not be overly pampered. Just do what you want and don't need to be too expensive. The Wei family is different now. Wei Zheng passed away. After that, his sons were good-natured, but they were also dull and dull. It was inevitable that their family situation would be worse than before. If the dowry was too expensive, they would be humble and not beautiful. "
Fang Jun understood and quickly accepted the order.
The matter of "Princess Shang" is indeed an honor, and the family background is brilliant. But this is only in the case of a "well-matched" family. The husband's family is powerful or famous all over the world. Having a princess is the icing on the cake. However, if the family is average and there is no outstanding person, the emperor just gives the princess "a favor". If you marry down, the whole family will inevitably be suppressed by the royal aura.
"Soft rice" is not so delicious, especially for those scholars of this era. It is common to "starve to death without eating the food that comes to you". If the dowry brought by the princess is too rich, few greedy people will be overjoyed. Most of them have to worry about low self-esteem.
The princess herself is already a wealthy person, and with a huge dowry attached to her, she will definitely be overwhelming. If the princess is still strong, the entire husband's family will be shorter, and all the men will have to be submissive.
Being a "female chicken Si Chen" is not a good thing. If you are not careful, you will be ridiculed by the world...
The integrity of scholar-bureaucrats since the Wei and Jin Dynasties has not been completely lost, especially since almost all scholars are very particular about their character. Except for weirdos like Xu Jingzong, very few people can be shameless and shameless, even if they are dirty in private and lose face. I also asked for a glory.
His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and said: "Okay, hurry up and don't let Si Zi and the others wait too long."
"I obey my orders."
After bowing to the ground and saluting, Fang Jun stood up to leave and followed the female officer to Princess Jinyang's palace.
*****
Arriving at Princess Jinyang's palace and entering, she was surprised to find that Princess Changle was also there...
Fang Jun was slightly stunned, and then he stepped forward and saluted: "Wei Chen has met your three highnesses."
The three princesses are all kneeling on the mat in the palace. Princess Changle is pure and beautiful, and Princess Jinyang and Princess Hengshan are young, but girls develop early, and now it is Xiao He who shows her sharp horns. Gradually revealing the beautiful appearance of heaven and country.
Princess Hengshan was slightly dissatisfied and snorted: "Brother-in-law is becoming more and more perfunctory now. He only talks about the three princesses and refuses to even greet them one by one?"
She has an unruly temperament, but she also imitates Princess Jinyang in calling her "brother-in-law". The other consorts do not receive this treatment, so it is obvious that she is still close to Fang Jun.
Princess Jinyang was also a little unhappy. She narrowed her clear eyes slightly and said slowly: "Young man, please don't be rude. If these words spread, I'm afraid my brother-in-law will be charged with 'disrespect'. If you are impeached for this, I won’t be able to spare you even if you get married!”
The little girl's back was straight, and her beautiful cheeks that had long since lost their baby fat showed a bit of seriousness. The beauty was slightly horizontal, and she looked very majestic.
Xu was used to being suppressed by this young lady. Princess Hengshan felt a little guilty. She turned away and muttered: "It's just a joke. My brother-in-law is not angry at all. On the contrary, it's my sister who is so unyielding and so bullying!"< br>
"Hmph, I have to take care of you!"
Princess Jinyang ignored her sister and waved to Fang Jun, with a sweet smile on her face and said crisply: "Brother-in-law, come and sit down!"
Then he turned and told the maid standing aside: "Hurry up and bring the meal."
"Here!"
Fang Jun was not polite, he knelt down opposite Princess Changle, looked at the angry Princess Hengshan, and asked with a smile: "His Highness Gao Yang wants to prepare a few dowries for you, but I don't know what your Highness is, what is your favorite thing? At this time, Having said that, while there is still some time before you get married, I’d better make preparations early.”
Princess Hengshan immediately turned her head and moved closer to Fang Jun. There was no trace of displeasure on her little face, but she gradually became excited. She asked with wide eyes: "Will my brother-in-law and sister Gao Yang buy it for me if I like it? ”
Princess Jinyang leaned forward slightly, put her white fingers on her white and delicate cheeks, and said mockingly: "Are you ashamed, are you ashamed? Where is the family of a daughter who is about to get married who takes the initiative to ask for a dowry?"
Princess Hengshan's face turned red with embarrassment, and she retorted: "Why are you asking for it? Didn't you hear that it was Sister Gao Yang who asked me what I like? Anyway, they are all given, so of course I will give them the ones I like! I will wait for you to get married in the future. Sometimes, I will pick up things you don’t like and give them to you, which will disgust you!”
Princess Jinyang snorted, raised her pointed chin, and said, "I'm not getting married. I've already agreed with my sister that neither of us will get married, so we'll always stay with my father!"
Fang Jun couldn't help but have a headache. She was still a little girl after all, and she started to quarrel over such a trivial matter. As a result, when he turned around and saw Princess Hengshan, her eyes were already red, and she was biting her lower lip and looking like she was about to cry. He was startled and asked quickly: "What's wrong with Your Highness?"
Princess Hengshan pursed her lips and remained silent.
Fang Jun was surprised and couldn't help but look at Princess Changle.
Princess Changle said helplessly: "Si Zi has weak bones. Taoist Sun said that her roots are not yet solid and she cannot get married, otherwise there is a risk of premature death. So the father promised that Si Zi would not let her get married for the time being. As a result, Xiao Yao was not happy. …”
Fang Jun suddenly realized that among the two little girls, Princess Jinyang was slightly older, but it turned out that Princess Hengshan got married first. The children have not yet understood the meaning of getting married. They probably just feel that they will not be able to live in the palace and see their relatives every day. Don't play wantonly, it is inevitable to have some emotions.
At this time, the maids had already filed in with dishes and placed them one by one on the table. Fang Jun comforted Princess Hengshan and said: "Your Highness, there is no need to be sad. Of course, you can play as much as you want without getting married, which is much freer, but after getting married, you can play as much as you want. There are benefits to getting married, there are many interesting things that can only be done after getting married..."
Speaking of this, he suddenly noticed that Princess Changle was looking over. She glared at him fiercely with a pair of bright eyes like autumn water. Two red clouds rose up on her white jade cheeks. Her shy and annoyed look made people salivate, and her ruddy lips also made people salivate. Open it slightly, and if you look closely, you can see that it is spitting out a "rogue" mouth shape.
Fang Jun was speechless, why did he become a gangster?
He couldn't help but wonder: "Why did His Highness Changle slander Wei Chen like this? But Wei Chen said the wrong words?"
Princess Changle became more and more embarrassed and snorted: "You know what I said!"
Fang Jun: "..."
What did I say about me? ! (End of chapter)
