Chapter 3170 Sarcasm
Chang'an.
The sky is dark, the fallen trees are rustling, and there is autumn rain and cold.
The flowers in the garden were all gone, the trees were bleak, and the pale yellow leaves were wet by the rain and fell to the ground one after another. In the flower hall of the Linchuan Princess Mansion, Princess Gao Yang sat in front of the open window, leaning slightly. Her perfect side face was like a beautiful and dignified lady in a painter's painting, with smooth skin, a slender neck, and picturesque eyebrows.
He was staring at the desolate and bustling garden, feeling a little dazed.
The originally bright eyes were a little dim, the plump cheeks were also a little thin, and the whole person had an aura of haggard and hesitation, which made people feel pitiful...
Reports on the battle in Hexi are delivered to the capital every day and are delivered to the desks of the prince and ministers. Naturally, the house also receives special family letters.
In a letter from home a few days ago, Lang Jun mentioned that Tuyuhun's tens of thousands of cavalry were already only a few dozen miles away from the mouth of Dadou Bago Valley, and they could arrive overnight.
Counting the time, in just a few days, the war will begin.
Even if Princess Gaoyang admires and trusts Fang Jun, the situation of the battle between twenty thousand and seventy or eighty thousand makes her worried.
Just in case...
She quickly shook her head, she couldn't even imagine the outcome.
A slender, slightly cool palm stretched out and gently held her hand.
Princess Gao Yang turned around and saw Princess Chang Le next to her with a smile and whispered: "Ji people have their own destiny, so my sister should have confidence in him. Back then, he was able to lead an army of soldiers to the White Road. How could Xue Yantuo, who had hundreds of thousands of men in control, be defeated by Tuyuhun now? Relax, maybe in the next two days, good news will be delivered."
Princess Gao Yang held Princess Chang Le's palm with her backhand and smiled.
At the beginning, she kept trying to comfort Princess Changle, saying that if her husband was good at fighting and brave enough to win the three armies, he would definitely come back victorious and shine in the world. In just a few days, I actually changed my mind and became worried. Instead, I needed Princess Changle to comfort me...
My character is still a bit worse.
The two of them held each other's palms and looked at each other with a smile. They both felt that caring for the same man did not cause any distance between them, but the relationship became closer than before.
"Hey, what are you two doing? Look at this enthusiasm, the sisters see it and are so jealous."
Princess Ankang on the side couldn't help but cover her lips and smile when she saw the expressions on the two people's faces.
Princess Changle smiled but said nothing.
Princess Gaoyang was about to speak when she heard someone on the side sighing: "Why is Ankang talking like this? Didn't you see that Sister Gaoyang looked sad and full of lovesickness? Her husband was leading the army outside, and if he was not careful, there would be a disaster. big How can we not be worried about defeat? He has lost a lot of weight. It's not that Gao Yang is narrow-minded. The swords and arrows in this battle formation have no eyesight. What if something unexpected happens... Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, it's really pitiful. ”
Princess Gao Yang immediately glared.
Who else can speak like this except the owner of this place, Princess Linchuan?
The Prince Consort Zhou Daowu is a son-in-law whom His Majesty Li Er relies on very much. He is the first among the sons-in-law to lead an army alone, and is responsible for guarding Liaodong. He is young and promising, with a bright future. Although his family background may not be as good as that of the Prince Consort, in terms of popularity , in terms of future, few among the consorts can match it.
However, since Fang Jun suddenly emerged, he has completely stolen Zhou Daowu's limelight.
What is particularly irritating is that this stick not only became more and more famous and won the favor of his father, but also repeatedly clashed with Zhou Daowu and suppressed Zhou Daowu, causing his face to be lost and his reputation to be ruined.
Under such circumstances, Princess Linchuan naturally shared the same hatred with her consort, and she became increasingly displeased with Fang Jun and Princess Gaoyang.
This time, the troops in Guanzhong were empty, and Fang Jun had to lead his army on an expedition. Some people in the court admired his ambition to not be afraid of difficulties and stand up to shoulder heavy responsibilities, but many people also ridiculed him for overestimating his own capabilities and seeking death. Waiting to see him A joke about the overwhelming defeat.
Princess Linchuan is one of them...
Originally, due to the conflict between Fang Jun and Zhou Daowu, the two families had no contact. Although Linchuan and Gao Yang are both daughters of His Majesty Li Er, the Tian family is inherently indifferent to each other. They have the same father and different mothers, and they were not close when they were married. Now they naturally respect each other as guests and look at each other with disgust.
Since Zhou Daowu went out with the army, Linchuan returned to Chang'an from Youzhou. Apart from the most basic greetings, the two families would not meet at all.
It's just that today is Linchuan's birthday. Two days ago, the prince told Gao Yang not to ignore family ties and to come to the house no matter what, to send congratulations and say a few happy words. After all, they are all sisters, at least they can save face. It should be passable.
But I never thought that although Gao Yang felt some family affection and was willing to accompany Xiao to visit, Linchuan didn't appreciate it at all...
With Princess Gaoyang's coquettish temper, how could she be so angry?
Dang Ji had a cold face and said angrily: "My husband stands upright and stands upright when the country is in danger. He does not care about personal life and death, honor and disgrace. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a hero in this world! We can now sit here safely and enjoy wealth and command. , it is precisely because my husband led his army to fight the powerful enemy in Hexi! Otherwise, once the enemy invades Hexi, the army will be defeated! As far as Guanzhong, you are afraid that you will be plundered by the barbarians, and you will be humiliated and full of smell. How can you have the face to sit here and ridicule? It’s okay for you to be ungrateful, but instead you are viciously cursing here. It’s simply vicious, mean and stupid!”
These words made all the princesses in the hall speechless and sighed in their hearts.
No matter how I felt about Fang Jun in the past, when the country was in danger, it was Fang Jun who was not afraid of hardships and faced death. He knew that the odds were against him but resolutely challenged him to fight. Who can disapprove of such a responsibility?
The most embarrassing person, besides Princess Linchuan who was angrily scolded by Princess Gaoyang, was Princess Baling. It was precisely because General Zuo Tunwei told Qiao Guogong Chai Zhewei that he was "sick" and could not go on an expedition, so Fang Jun had to lead half of the Right Tunwei out to control Hexi.
In comparison, Chai Zhewei's reputation has long been discredited and he has become a laughing stock. Even his sister-in-law, Princess Baling, cannot hold her head up...
Princess Linchuan turned blue and was extremely angry.
Others were wary of Princess Gaoyang's coquettish personality, but she was not afraid. She was about to retaliate when she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside. When she turned around, she saw the prince Li Chengqian and the princes including King Wei, King Qi, King Yan, King Jiang, and King Jin. Step in.
Li Chengqian walked slowly inside, with a smile on his gentle face. He was originally bloated, but these days, he has been busy with many things, has trouble sleeping day and night, and cannot eat well. He has lost a lot of weight. The lines on his face have become clearer, and he actually looks energetic and more capable than before. color.
Walking into the hall, he was keenly aware that something was not right in the atmosphere, especially when Princess Gao Yang stood there and was being held by Princess Changle's hand. Her face was bulging with anger and she looked very unhappy. Li Chengqian thought he had a headache. .
Of course he knew that these two families had never dealt with each other, but he just thought that they were sisters after all, so they couldn't live without each other forever, right? Today is Linchuan's birthday. It's a good opportunity for these two people to relax. They are not enemies of life and death, so why are they like this?
However, in the current situation, it is obvious that the two are at odds again...
Sighing in his heart but not showing it on his face, Li Chengqian and the princes took their seats and said to Princess Gaoyang with a smile: "We are guests. My sister is standing and talking like this. Doesn't it seem that Linchuan is not hosting you well? Hurry up and take a seat, wait and see Let’s have a few drinks with Gu Haosheng later.”
He also didn't like Linchuan very much. This sister was vain, jealous, and narrow-minded, which was not in line with his character. However, Gao Yang, who seemed cute, carefree and straight-forward, liked him very much.
However, as the elder brother, he naturally wants a bowl of water to be balanced, and he cannot care about one thing and neglect the other. Furthermore, now that Fang Jun is away on an expedition and the troops in Guanzhong are empty, Chai Zhewei and his Zuotun guards are needed to deter the small-minded people, so he has to protect Linchuan more.
You cannot let the outside world notice your intention to alienate the Chai family...
Princess Gaoyang didn't pay much attention to those intrigues and entangled interests, but she often chatted with Wu Meiniang and was influenced by her. She also had some understanding of the current situation and understood Li Chengqian's good intentions, so she snorted and said, Reluctantly sat down.
The prince's current situation is extremely difficult. With Tuyuhun's rebellion and the invasion of cannibals into the Western Region, there is a turmoil in the court. I don't know how many people are secretly planning their own plans. If they are not careful, the prince will fall into a situation that will never be recovered. The prince has always loved and cared for her, how could she cause trouble at this time?
