A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 1080 Adoption of Jinyang
"The third daughter of a princess and an emperor, the sky is sparse and moist, with rounded and folded luminous colors floating on it, like trees splitting their rays, and the flowers shining like the morning sun.

Therefore, one can be smart externally, reflect leisurely and brightly on the inside, and be knowledgeable through training. He still observes the admonitions of women in history.

To the extent that you take care of your beauty, wear it in the morning and look after it in the morning, show respect and love at the same time, and have no right left or right..."

Wu Huai, the Dragon God with a jade pen, was ordered to write an epitaph for Princess Runan. Originally, Yu Shinan should have written the epitaph, but that person was too old, eighty years old, and the old man also fell ill due to the previous cold disaster.

Li Shimin sat on the side and wept, seeming to be recalling this daughter.
This daughter was always so polite, sensible, and filial. He never thought that Princess Runan would starve to death to keep her filial piety to her aunt.

The epitaph has more than 200 words in total, and the draft was written quickly.

"Your Majesty, please take a look."

Li Shimin took it and looked at it carefully and felt very satisfied. Although people cannot be resurrected after death, he still hopes that his daughter's epitaph will have more praises.

"Just use this piece, write it and give it to the craftsmen to carve the stele,"

Princess Runan will naturally be buried in Zhaoling, together with her most beloved aunt, Queen Wende.
When a princess suffers from fleas, there are always funerals.
However, the emperor had decreed that Empress Wende be buried in Zhaoling in May, and the princess would also be buried together.

The reason why the emperor issued this edict is:
It's because Princess Runan is not the only one like this. Chengqian also chants sutras and eats fast every day. King Wei is a fat man and has lost dozens of pounds in the past few months.

"The ancients established filial piety and destroyed the immortal body. Princess Runan wailed and bowed, and the fleas died. Do you know?"

I think back then, when the queen's aunt, Gao Shilian's wife, passed away, his son Gao Xingcheng, who was also the son-in-law of Princess Li Shimin Dongyang, refused to eat or drink while observing filial piety for his mother.

After this incident, Li Shimin's originally relatively good spirit seemed to be hit hard again.

Wu Huaiyu specifically requested to visit his children in the palace. He was also worried that some of them were young, so he refused to eat or drink to show his filial piety.

Must be eaten.

A Runan princess had already starved to death, and Li Shimin didn't want the other princes and princesses to starve to death.

Excessively sad and her depression became more serious, this person went to extremes and secretly went on a hunger strike. The palace attendants around her didn't notice, and by the time they found out, it was already too late.

Princess Runan was really sad when the queen died of illness this time. In this palace, her aunt rarely gave her warmth, and now she is gone.

"Huaiyu, you are the prince's teacher and the prince of the East Palace, Zhan Shi. Chengqian, you have to give me more advice. Be polite and filial in your heart, and don't ruin your body. Otherwise, it will be unfilial, and their mother's spirit in heaven will not rest in peace."

The other princesses and princes also lost weight because of their legitimate mother.

"All the princes and princesses should eat well and be strictly supervised by their respective nannies. If anyone whines and is disrespectful, I will only hold them accountable."

"The way of a filial son destroys the immortal nature. You should eat by force and not be disrespectful."

He refused to eat, was forced to eat, and even asked the chef of the Shangshi Bureau to prepare a nutritious recipe, which he served to the princes and princesses every day.

Wu Huaiyu stood aside. He felt that Princess Runan went on a hunger strike and died of starvation not entirely because of the death of her aunt, but also because of her own rough fate. The princess was born to a palace servant. Her mother died of illness very early, and she also lacked paternal love and maternal love since she was a child. Later, her father betrothed her to Lu Guogong Liu Shuyi.
As a result, Liu Shuyi was killed for treason not long after, and the princess became sick with worry. To put it bluntly, she might have suffered from depression. So later Li Shimin wanted to choose a husband for her, but she did not agree.
Now she is sixteen years old and not married yet, but many of her sisters are already married.

"The ancients established filial piety, which will not destroy the body. I heard that you are absolutely obedient, and you are very good. Fortunately, you suppress the feelings that tear you apart, and the tiredness that cuts you through life."

When Zhang Anan brought the three brothers Chengsi and the two sisters Yingluo, Wu Huaiyu looked at them carefully and asked them if they had eaten well recently.

"I asked Zhang Ananda to bring the brothers and sisters."

This tragedy cannot happen again.

After hearing this, Li Shimin had no choice but to issue an order to force him to eat.

Unexpectedly, he has neglected his princess now.

Yingluo cried, "Princess Runan is the most gentle sister, why is she gone?"

"The princess misses Queen Wende so much that she chants sutras without eating or drinking. How can a person not eat or drink?"

Even three-year-old Wu Liu liked Princess Runan and burst into tears when she heard about her passing.

Several children have lost weight.

"Come home with me." Wu Huaiyu felt distressed.

He felt that the current atmosphere in the palace was not conducive to the growth of his children.

When Wu Huaiyu came to Li Shimin with his five children and asked the emperor to take the children home, Li Shimin agreed without hesitation.

"Take them all back. These little guys have lost a lot of weight. Take good care of them at home."

Wu Liu said, "Aye, I'm back home, but what should I do with little Sizi?"

Li Shimin looked at Wu Liu, then at Wu Huaiyu, and suddenly said, "Little Sizi has always been weak and sickly. She inherited her mother's qi disease. I want to ask you for a favor."

"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."

"I want little Sizi to stay at your house temporarily. Firstly, he can have a good time with Liu Niang and Yingluo. Secondly, you are good at medicine. Xiaosizi can stay at your house and help take care of her. How about that?"

Wu Huaiyu did not expect that Li Shimin would send Princess Li Mingda of Jinyang to his family to raise. Hesitating for a moment,
That was a golden princess, a royal princess, and the princess that Li Shimin loved most. After the queen died of illness, he specifically wanted to stay by his side to raise her.

But after what happened to Princess Runan, the emperor also realized that his father still had many shortcomings.

Li Shimin still hesitated when he saw Wu Huaiyu.

She also understood his worries and immediately said, "I will ask Xiao Sizi to worship you and Fan as her adoptive father and mother. If you accept her as your adopted daughter, you will treat her as your own child."

"Little Sizi has lost a lot of weight recently, and has become taciturn and less smiling. Now her sister, Princess Runan, is gone again.
I'm worried that she will be even more sad if she stays in the palace.

Just do me a favor and take her to your house. You have many children, and Xiao Sizi and Yingluo Liuniang are also playing well."

Wu Huaiyu could no longer refuse the emperor's request.

Deep down, he really didn't want to take the princess home.
But then I thought about it. Princess Jinyang is only three years old. She is such a cute girl. She can write very well in Feibai calligraphy. She even learned her thin gold body with Yingluo. She is sensible and cute. I don’t want to see what the princess has. Unexpectedly, even if I see that my smile is no longer there, I will be very sad and sad.

"Aye, take Xiaosizi home with you." Liu Niang shook Huaiyu's hand.

The two little girls are about the same age, they play the best, and they both feel like sisters.

"I boldly welcome Princess Jinyang to live temporarily in my mansion, but I dare not accept the princess as my adopted daughter."

"Huaiyu, don't be so biologically related to me. You can take the child. You and your wife will recognize her as your adopted daughter and take good care of her for me. The child has no mother at such a young age. As a father, I don't have time to take care of her. I owe you a lot. She, I hope she can grow up happily...

Folks have a long-standing custom of making Ganye to their children. Some even ask their children to recognize stones and trees as Ganye, in the hope that their children will grow up healthily.

If little Sizi can recognize the King of Medicine as Gan Ye, he will definitely be healthy. "

The emperor said that Wu Huaiyu could not refuse.

So I had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Li Shimin asked Xiao Sizi to come, and specially summoned the nannies who had taken care of Princess Jinyang and King Jin.
Mrs. Ji Ji of Xingyang County, Mrs. Lu Congbi of Fanyang County, Mrs. Shi of Changping County, and Mrs. Xue of Hedong County.

"These four were personally selected by the Queen to take care of Xiao Sizi and Pheasant Nu. Now I have asked all four of them to go with Xiao Sizi to Sikong Mansion to take care of the princess. They are also familiar with Yingluo and Liu'er,"

Wu Huaiyu had met Ji and others, but she had not seen Liu last time. She was sent back to Yeting for making a mistake, and now she is back. She is still the wife of Changping County. This woman is the Zuo who rebelled with Li Xiaochang. The daughter-in-law of General Liu Deyu of the Military Guard is actually Mrs. Liu, whose real surname is Shi.

Ji Jiachi is Li Xiaochang's daughter-in-law.

The wife of Fanyang County, Lu Congbi, was also the wife of a prisoner. Her husband was Du Caiqian, the general manager of Huazhou in the early years of Zhenguan. He was involved in the rebellion case of Li Xiaochang and Liu Deyu and was executed. His wife and daughter were exiled to Yeting.

The Lu family was born in the Lu family of Fanyang. She was of noble birth and was knowledgeable about books and etiquette, so she was chosen to be the nanny to the King of Jin in the palace.

However, among the four nannies, Ms. Xue's identity is the most special.

Because she was not only named the Lady of Hedong County, she also had several identities, such as a nun who was ordained as a monk, and the daughter of Xue Daoheng, a famous literary guru in the Sui Dynasty, who even Emperor Sui Yang was jealous of.

For another example, she is the Jieyu of the great ancestor Li Yuan.

After Li Yuan's death, Xue Jieyu had no children and was placed in the Zhengguoni Temple in Fenglefang as usual. It was changed to the Gaozu Temple and renamed Jing'an Palace. Because of her good family background and outstanding culture, Xue was selected by her eldest grandson to teach and take care of King Li Zhi of Jin Dynasty. She was able to stay in the palace. To facilitate her stay in the palace, she was given the status of a married woman from Hedong County.

Xue Shou, Xue's nephew, was also one of the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace.

Wu Huaiyu looked at the four county ladies. In fact, they were all around thirty years old, and they were all very elegant.

These four people all came from famous families, and they all married into wealthy families. Xue married Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, and the other three also married into the families of princes.

Except Xue,

The other three were all taken into Yeting as slaves because of their husband's family's rebellion. They were lucky enough to be chosen as nannies for the prince and princess, and were granted the title of county lady.

"Xiao Sizi, I want to ask you, Yingluo and Liu Niang are going home, and Liu Niang hopes that you will come with them, are you willing?"

Princess Jinyang looked at Liuer,

Wu Liu stepped forward and took her hand, "Xiao Sizi, I'm going home with Aye. You can go back with me. My house is really fun, and there's a zoo with all kinds of animals in it." There are giant bears who love to eat bamboo, and hippopotamuses with huge mouths that can eat a big watermelon in one bite..."

Li Shimin rubbed his daughter's head,

"Go ahead, Aye will come to see you often,"

The emperor asked Li Mingda to pay homage to Wu Huaiyu as his adopted father. The princess saluted Wu Huaiyu and then shouted in a crisp voice, "Xiao Sizi pays homage to his adopted father."

Wu Huaiyu pulled her up and said, "Okay, okay, you and Liu'er will be little sisters from now on."

"I'm sister." Liu'er shouted.

"I'm the younger sister." Princess Jinyang also smiled.
