Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 102 Young Master Cui Family
After Li Jiancheng finished speaking, Li Shimin just chuckled and didn't explain too much.

Some things are already facts, Li Jiancheng doesn't know, he's just ignorant.

There was a lot of discussion in the court, but facing this situation, Li Yuan was somewhat inclined to Li Shimin in his heart. After all, what Li Shimin said made sense.

Furthermore, he has a good impression of Qin Tian. Now that he has been awarded the title, if he wants the title back again, I'm afraid it will really chill people's hearts, right?
So, after thinking about it, Li Yuan said: "This is just a trivial matter, forget it."

"Father, unfair rewards and punishments, how can it be regarded as a trivial matter?" Li Jiancheng persisted.

Li Yuan frowned: "The rewards and punishments are unfair there. You don't know the benefits of drunken beauties, so go down and ask others. As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, how can you be so arbitrary because you don't understand indiscriminateness?"

Li Yuan's tone was rather cold, and he announced his retirement after speaking.

This made Li Jiancheng very angry. After leaving the palace, he immediately went to the East Palace to discuss with Song Gongqing how to cut off Li Shimin's wings.

He can't wait now.

After autumn, the chrysanthemums in the imperial garden bloom one after another.

Many court ladies and concubines like to come here to appreciate chrysanthemums when they are free.

It rained suddenly in Chang'an that day. Li Yuan was discussing state affairs with the crown prince in the imperial study. Concubine Yin De felt bored in the bedroom, so she came to the imperial garden alone to enjoy the chrysanthemums.

There are many chrysanthemums in the imperial garden, which are in full bloom, and there are various varieties. They are washed by the heavy rain at this time, and they look a little dilapidated.

Concubine Yin De looked at these chrysanthemums, and for some reason suddenly lamented fate.

She felt that she was like the chrysanthemum in the rain, and she would be destroyed sooner or later.

Don't look at how beautiful she is now, but how long can she last?

A kind of uneasiness lingered in her heart.

And at this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind her: "Your Majesty!"

Concubine Yin De was startled suddenly, she turned her head and saw that it was Prince Li Jiancheng, her expression moved slightly, and she said, "It turns out to be His Royal Highness, you...why did you come here?"

Li Jiancheng is polite, coupled with his good looks, at this time he actually gives people a very handsome and extraordinary feeling.

Concubine Yin De is at her youthful age, and she usually faces an old man like Li Yuan, but now she suddenly sees a man like Li Jiancheng under such circumstances, and she can't help feeling a little nervous.

Blushing slightly, a little shy.

"Leaving from my father's place, I suddenly remembered that the chrysanthemums in the imperial garden were blooming. I was busy before and didn't have time to appreciate them. Today I thought I would be free, so I came here. I didn't expect to meet my empress."

As he spoke, Li Jiancheng suddenly asked, "Your Majesty also likes chrysanthemums?"

Concubine Yin De smiled: "It's not that I like chrysanthemums, it's just that in this season, there are no other flowers besides chrysanthemums, right?"

"Although this flower is beautiful, it is really lonely when it was born in autumn."

Li Jiancheng looked at Concubine Yin De and said, and what he said happened to touch Concubine Yin De's heart, which made Concubine Yin De feel a little sad again.

But she couldn't express it in front of Li Jiancheng, so she just said: "The chrysanthemum is elegant, and I don't want to compete with other flowers. It's also good to bloom in autumn."

"No, chrysanthemums are not inferior to other flowers in spring, no matter in fragrance or shape, why should they be so lonely for a lifetime?"

Concubine Yin De was stunned for a moment, before she spoke again after a long time: "Maybe it's a last resort."

Li Jiancheng then said: "What about the lady, do you want to die alone in late autumn like this chrysanthemum, or do you want to compete with all the flowers in spring?"

"You...what do you mean by that?" Concubine Yin De faintly felt that there was something in Li Jiancheng's words.

Li Jiancheng said: "Your Majesty is only in her twenties, do you want to live like this all your life, not to mention that you have never left any heirs, what will be your fate when your father dies?"

Concubine Yin De's cheeks were pale. Although this question was a bit outrageous, why didn't she think about it?
"His Royal Highness..."

"The crown prince has long admired my empress's beauty. If my empress is willing to help me become emperor, I will live up to my empress."

"What do you want me to do? I dare not rebel."

"Naturally, there is no need for the empress to rebel, all I need is for the empress to help the prince to bring down King Qin."

"Please show me the prince."

Hearing this, Li Jiancheng knew that Song Gongqing's plan had succeeded. When he came, Song Gongqing had already told him that several of Li Yuan's young concubines could actually be used.

Women like them live dependent on men, but Li Yuan is already very old, and there are not a few people who intend to think about the future. As long as Li Jiancheng makes a promise to them, it is not difficult to subdue them.

As it stands now, that is indeed the case.

Li Jiancheng was overjoyed, and quickly told Concubine Yin De about his plan. After listening to Concubine Yin De, she felt that it was not difficult, so she nodded in agreement.

"This palace helped His Highness the Crown Prince, and His Highness the Crown Prince will ascend the throne afterward, so you must remember what you said today."

"Naturally, how could this crown prince forget such a beautiful woman as Concubine Yin De?"

After the two finished speaking, they stopped talking and retreated separately.

In the east city of Chang'an City, it was raining heavily, and there were few pedestrians on the street.

Lu Huaniang was leaning against the window watching the rain when her maid hurried in: "Miss, it's not good..."

Lu Huaniang cast a glance at the servant girl and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Today, the Cui family came to our house to propose marriage. Cui Yuanhao from his family wants to marry you, Miss. Master...Master has already agreed."

"Cui Yuanhao?" Lu Huaniang frowned slightly. She was no stranger to this name. Cui Yuanhao was a child of the Cui family with five surnames and seven sects, and he was the most prestigious Cui family child in the past two years.

For one thing, his father, Cui Tong, is currently the Minister of the Household Department, and he won the first prize in the spring examination last year, becoming the number one scholar, and was called Chang'an Talent for a while.

In Chang'an City, there are countless women who want to marry Cui Yuanhao, but Lu Huaniang is very strange, why should he marry herself?
Maybe other women admire Cui Yuanhao very much, but she, Lu Huaniang, is not interested in Cui Yuanhao at all?

"That's right, miss, that is the most talented person in Chang'an, Cui Yuanhao. The master liked him very much when he saw him, and he arranged your marriage on the spot. You know, miss, that the five surnames and seven sects have always been Those who are married to each other, you are no exception."

Lu Huaniang looked solemn, and asked, "Didn't Cui Yuanhao hear about what happened back then?"

"This servant doesn't know."

Lu Huaniang frowned, many people knew about her elopement back then, so over the years, although she looks good, not many people really came to propose marriage.

She thought for a moment, and then ordered: "Go and send a message to Cui Yuanhao, inviting him to come and talk about it."

"Furthermore, please invite Mr. Qin."
