Mrs. Lu went to the Taoist temple to visit Princess Changle, expressed her love and the concern of the whole family, and then left. After all, they had different generations. Princess Changle and Fang Jun were not married by a matchmaker, but a prospective mother-in-law and an unknown daughter-in-law. It’s very awkward to be in one place...
After hearing the nickname Fang Xuanling gave the baby, both Princess Changle and Princess Gaoyang were very happy.
Even Jin Shengman said it was very good: "It doesn't have to be as profound as the meaning. As long as it can be as smart and strong as a deer, that's great."
Princess Changle smiled, deeply convinced.
Princess Jinyang was a little puzzled when she heard Jin Shengman's words: "Who in the world doesn't hope that their children will become successful? Who doesn't want their children to grow up to be successful, famous, and become kings?"
Princess Changle looked at the child who fell asleep after being fed by the nanny, smiled and said softly: "When you become a mother, you should understand this intention. It is true that you hope that your child will become a dragon, but compared with those who are famous for their fame and fortune, health is Living a happy life is the most important thing. ”
"Being a mother?"
Princess Jinyang is a little confused. The image of her mother in her memory has long been blurred, and the remaining remnants will be blown away by the strong wind at any time...
She has a mother, but no maternal love.
Princess Gao Yang put her arms around her thin shoulders from the side and said with a smile: "Actually, the point is not to be a mother, but whose child you want to be a mother to... Whose child does Sizi want to be a mother to?"
Princess Jinyang rolled her eyes and her eyes fell on the little deer on one side who was being coaxed to sleep by the nanny.
"Concubine" is also a mother...
Princess Gaoyang instantly understood Princess Jinyang's thoughts and said with a surprised smile: "You girl really hides this idea? Are you so young and beautiful that you want to steal men from your sisters? This is a big change!"
"Where is it?"
Princess Jinyang blushed and defended herself. Just when Princess Gaoyang and Princess Changle thought she didn't admit it, the girl blushed, lowered her head, bit her lips and whispered, "Good things are easy to share..." Oops! Why did Sister Gao Yang hit someone?”
Princess Gao Yang laughed angrily and hit her on the shoulder, saying angrily: "That's a person, not a thing, but it can also be shared?"
Princess Jinyang was dissatisfied: "It's good that Empress E and Nv Ying served one husband together, Emperor Shun died in Cangwu, and the two concubines held bamboos and cried bitterly, staining the green bamboos with tears, and died of tears. It has become a legend for eternity, but it's not good that Sister Zhao Feiyan was invited to the palace." , how can you say no? ”
"Ha, little girl, you have read a lot of books." Princess Gaoyang stretched out a slender finger, pointing first at herself, and then at Princess Changle, who blushed: "Not to mention who is the Ehuang among us? , who is the heroine, but after all, there are already two.”
"Huh?"
Princess Jinyang was stunned. She thought that "Ehuang Nuying" refers to sisters in general, not specifically to older sisters and younger sisters...
But she did read a lot of books. She was stunned for a moment and immediately said: "What about the three daughters of Han Emperor Liu Xie who married Cao Mengde?"
This time it was Princess Changle who scolded softly: "Stop talking nonsense!"
Princess Jinyang looked embarrassed and whispered softly: "It's just an analogy..."
Liu Xie was the emperor of the Han Dynasty, so even though Cao Mengde was powerful in the world, he was still a minister. A minister could dedicate three daughters to the emperor, but how could the emperor marry three women to his ministers?
There is no distinction between superiority and inferiority, and the reversal of priorities is a big taboo...
Princess Gaoyang held Princess Jinyang's hand and sighed softly, her face full of sorrow: "What a woman in the boudoir is most afraid of is being trapped by love. Except for the one she loves, no matter which man she is betrothed to, she will not be willing to do it, and she will always have thoughts and worries. The toughest thing is a life of misery... You are always a smart girl, how come you can't overcome this difficulty? "
Princess Changle also sighed and said: "That's all for me. I am a divorced woman with a broken body. Even if I have an affair with Erlang, it will only cause a few gossips. But you are different after all. Your Majesty will never agree to marry you to Erlang. ”
Neither the glory of the royal family nor the dignity of the emperor would allow Princess Jinyang to marry Fang Jun.
To put it bluntly, even if His Majesty agrees, the civil servants and generals above the court will never agree. Doing so will only push Fang Jun into an abyss of eternal destruction.
What is particularly important is that neither Princess Gaoyang nor Princess Changle ever felt that Fang Jun coveted Princess Jinyang...
The concubine is affectionate but the husband has no intention. If the entanglement continues, the fate of Princess Jinyang is destined to be extremely miserable.
Princess Jinyang lowered her head lightly, her eyelashes trembled slightly, she pursed her lips and said nothing.
Princess Gao Yang and Princess Chang Le looked at each other and sighed quietly.
When love arises, it goes deep.
For such a proud and intelligent woman, once she becomes emotional, how can anyone else persuade her with just a few words?
*****
Xiangyi County Prince's Mansion.
Li Shenfu listened to Li Xiaoxie who came to the door late at night and narrated what happened. He was slightly surprised and said: "Could it be a bitter trick by Prince Huo and his son?"
Li Xiaoxie was a little anxious and shook his head: "It doesn't look like it. After all, although the matter has been decided by His Majesty, it still depends on Fang Jun's attitude whether it will end. If Fang Jun refuses to let it go, there is nothing His Majesty can do. Prince Huo's Mansion will bear the responsibility The risk is too great. It would be stupid if it were really a ploy by the father and his son.”
The Tang clan has never been monolithic. This is due to Emperor Taizong's purges and suppression of the clan after the Xuanwumen Incident. Their interests and factions are naturally different, and they are divided into several groups overtly or covertly.
But now everyone can feel the turmoil in the clan, who is willing to show his head at this time to attract firepower for others?
Regardless of whether Li Sixun's accidental intrusion into Zhongnan Mountain could disturb Princess Changle or make Fang Jun angry, the truth behind it is difficult to hide. Although Li Sixun will not be able to escape punishment, what will happen to the mastermind behind the scenes? Isn't it worse?
No matter how confused Huo Wang Li Yuangui was, he would never do such a stupid thing...
Li Shenfu felt that there was some truth to what he said, but if so, who instructed Li Yi to frame Li Sixun?
The second son, Li Wenzhen, walked in quickly from outside and whispered: "The news just came from Prince Huo's Mansion. Prince Huo broke both of Li Yi's legs and locked him up in the backyard for a year without any contact with the outside world."
Li Shenfu raised his eyebrows: "Li Yuangui didn't leave the house?"
Li Wenzhen shook his head: "No, and the door of Prince Huo's Mansion is closed. The servant guarding the door said that Prince Huo was angry and unwell, so he will refuse outsiders from today on."
Li Xiaoxie said: "It seems that this matter has nothing to do with King Huo, but King Huo must know who the instigator is behind the scenes."
Li Shenfu fell into deep thought: "But King Huo would rather suffer the consequences of being dumb than pursue the case. He expressed his attitude clearly. His biological son had his legs broken and was imprisoned for a year. Even if Fang Jun was unwilling to do so in the future, it would not be good. Continue to pursue the blame, so that Prince Huo’s family will be clean and stay out of the matter.”
Such a move was not only a gesture of admitting his mistake to Fang Jun, but also meant that there was an invisible towering mountain in front of Li Yuangui, which made him feel in awe and had to swallow his anger, unwilling or even daring to pursue the whole matter. the truth.
"There's something wrong with this."
Li Shenfu thought hard, always feeling that the whole thing seemed a bit mysterious, but he could never break through the layer of window paper and couldn't find out the truth behind it.
Li Wenjian said: "Maybe it's not that complicated. If you see who benefits in the end, you may be able to know who is behind it."
Li Shenfu suddenly understood: "That's right! No matter who you are, you always seek benefits when doing this. How can you make wedding clothes for others?"
Li Xiaoxie looked confused: "Then who benefits?"
Li Shenfu and his son looked at each other and said in unison: "Your Majesty!"
Li Xiaoxie was startled: "How is that possible? Fang Jun is His Majesty's humerus, and Princess Changle is the sister of Your Majesty's first mother. How could he instruct others to disturb Princess Changle's birth? And I can't see how Your Majesty will gain anything." ! ”
Li Wenzhen explained: "I can't answer what you said. But your majesty must have benefited. First of all, Princess Changle was not disturbed, and the mother and son were safe. Secondly, because King Huo was involved in this matter, all the great ancestors must have If you are as silent as a cicada, you will definitely behave in a low-key and tolerant manner in the future. , the person who can seduce Li Yi to frame Li Sixun must be a member of the clan. This will make everyone in the clan feel insecure, reduce mutual trust, and become suspicious of each other. This is extremely harmful to the major events we have planned, and there is no way How can we succeed with the support of the entire clan?”
"Ah?" Li Xiaoxie was shocked: "Your Majesty has such a plan?"
Li Chengqian's consistent impression on others is that he is "more than generous" but "insufficient in strategy", and his heart is not black enough and his hands are not ruthless enough. This is why Emperor Taizong was disappointed with him and repeatedly planned to save money.
How can a good old man who lacks intelligence be a good emperor?
Li Shenfu glanced at him and said in a low voice: "How many of Emperor Taizong's disciples are real wine sacks and rice sacks? Even though King Shu is a profiteering and rebellious person, he is also brave and energetic. How can he be like Queen Wende?" Several of the children, such as Changle and Jinyang, have extraordinary insights. How can your majesty, as the eldest son, really be useless? "
Li Xiaoxie nodded. People usually say that Li Chengqian is "not like a wise king" and his wise decisions are far inferior to those of Emperor Taizong, so he gives people the impression that he is not very smart... But this "not very smart" is also derived from comparison with others. Who is it? It is the "unparalleled intelligence" King Li Tai of Wei, and it is the "young, intelligent, dignified and peaceful" King Li Zhi of Jin!
Although his talent is not as good as that of his two younger brothers, who can say that Li Chengqian is a waste?
If it’s not enough compared to the previous ones, it’s definitely more than enough compared to the inferior ones...
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he said in a trembling voice: "If it is really His Majesty who set this up, could it be that he has seen through our plans, so he is beating the clan and telling the great ancestors to stay away from us and stop supporting us?"
"I don't rule out this possibility..."
Li Shenfu said something. When he saw Li Xiaoxie's face was green and his lips were white, and his arms were trembling, he said angrily: "It's just a possibility! We are just making preparations, and we haven't done anything yet. Even if he is the emperor, what can he do to us? Stay calm, you will naturally need to take some risks in the face of Potian's wealth, but it is still within the controllable range."
Li Xiaoxie opened his mouth but was speechless.
Is that taking "some" risk?
That’s an “extreme” risk!
It is the risk of destroying the family and severing the bloodline!
I was really confused, how could I get involved in this matter?
Now I feel fear and panic, but I can't retreat even if I want to... Li Shenfu noticed Li Xiaoxie's fear, and fearing that he would regret it, he quickly comforted him: "Don't make a fuss. Although your Majesty is somewhat intelligent, But it’s not much. Just waiting for him to distance himself from Fang Jun is our opportunity. Once all these arrangements are made overtly and secretly, they will be successful, so you can rest assured.”
