Song Dynasty female artist

Chapter 919 Leave the mother and leave the son
First, I poured him a glass of wine.

Li Shi'an knew Gu Qingjue's identity, that he was a first-level privy envoy, and also held the position of Taifu, and was an important minister of the Song Dynasty. He proposed a toast, and he really had to drink it.

He thinks that if his daughter marries the second son, he will be completely cut off from the second son's path, which makes him happy just thinking about it.

No one knew what kind of drink Gu Qingjue would toast to Li Shi'an at this time.

Shouldn't you scold him at this time?

Even if what he said was true, it was still to humiliate the Song Dynasty, that is, to humiliate them.

"Foreign ministers have heard some secrets about the royal family of Cochin. It is said that the current queen, His Highness's mother and queen, was actually a concubine before your father ascended the throne. Even when she was granted the title of queen, she was not your mother and queen. It was Empress Zhou Ciyi, but before the canonization ceremony, Empress Zhou Ciyi suddenly died of illness, and then she made your mother the queen. In fact, according to your calculation, your mother was also supported by the concubine, and you, the prince, are not as good as Zheng'er. The legitimate prince of the Eight Classics."

Gu Qingjue rarely spoke so much except to Su Yixin.

The more Li Shian listened, the darker his face became.

If he hadn't been careful about the situation, he would have jumped out and hit him.

Comparing his life experience with the daughter of the Leng family, does she deserve it?

Li Shian endured it again and again, and finally said with a smile: "I am just joking. Mr. Gu has said so many things, but he really thinks that this daughter of the Leng family has anything to do with your Gu family!"

"Whether it does not matter, Your Highness will not worry about it. The foreign minister will give you another drink."

Li Shian gritted his teeth and drank the glass of wine.

Leng Ziping and Leng Shuxin, one playing the piano and the other dancing the sword, cooperated tacitly and were pleasing to the eye, but the episode just now made this wonderful show somewhat flawed.

Maybe what Gu Qingjue said just now was more "poisonous".

Li Shian did not continue to live.

Yelu Hongji watched quietly from beginning to end, but his eyes would fall on Gu Qingjue from time to time.

He really admired Gu Ziyuan.

It would be great if this person were his minister.

Those who came out to show off their talents were basically the younger generation. In a blink of an eye, all the men who were about the same age as them were now fathers, and some were even grandfathers.

At the end of the banquet, Li Shian was quiet for an hour or two, but finally couldn't hold himself back any longer.

He wanted to put the purpose of his trip on the agenda.

But this atmosphere doesn't seem to be suitable for talking about bilateral trade. Since it's not suitable, let's not talk about it. It's okay to get a noble girl for the second son.

"Your Majesty, I have come all the way from Jiaozhi. Actually, I came with my father's will. I just want to ask your country to marry a noble daughter for my second brother."

Li Shian finished speaking.

The girl who had performed so hard just now almost turned pale.

Why didn't the prince of Jiaozhi tell me earlier? Who wants to go all the way to Jiaozhi? I heard that it is still a barbaric land and very poor.

They absolutely do not want to marry in Cochin.

Zhao Rui said: "Your Highness, intermarriage between the two countries is a major matter and cannot be settled in a few words."

"Of course I know this. The Second Prince of Jiaozhi is also of noble status, and he cannot just pick a noble lady to marry."

Zhao Rui: "..., the prince said that he has a favorite candidate?"

"This has not happened yet. Your Majesty can't decide it after just two or three sentences. I intend to find a time to discuss it carefully."

During this banquet, Princess Ram almost didn't speak, but was eerily quiet.

After the banquet, we cooperated with the arrangements of the etiquette department and returned to the Sifang Pavilion.

After being busy for more than half a month, although there were some episodes in the middle, fortunately, it was safe. Leng Zhongyan also had some free time and prepared to go home to wash up and have a good sleep. "My lord is back. My lord's wife asked you to go find her when you come back."

Leng Zhongyan raised his head and looked at the sky: "Madam, are you still asleep?"

"Yes, I specifically asked this slave to wait here for you. She said she had something to tell you."

Leng Zhongyan's face turned colder and he nodded: "I understand, tell Madam and I will be there later."

After washing up, Leng Zhongyan changed into his regular clothes and went to Yang Yuxiao's yard.

Yang Yuxiao was dressed in Chinese clothes and was leaning on the bedside reading a book. Leng Zhongyan opened the door and came in to see this scene and said: "It's late at night and Madam is still reading. It's not good for the eyes."

Yang Yuxiao smiled self-deprecatingly, put the book aside, and waved her hand to ask all the maids in the room to leave.

Only the husband and wife were left in the house.

Yang Yuxiao stood up, walked to Leng Zhongyan, looked into his eyes, and said, "My husband still said caring words, is it because he saw Princess Ruian in the court today?"

Leng Zhongyan's expression suddenly changed.

Yang Yuxiao laughed twice: "Looking at your face, I know that I was right."

After so many years, she really didn't want to see Su Yixin unless necessary.

But there was no way to completely avoid the relationship between Leng Zhongyan and Gu Qingjue, so she could only try her best to avoid it by claiming to be sick or having something to do.

For so many years, this thorn stuck in her heart, always making her miserable.

"Madam, what exactly are you going to say?"

"It's nothing. It's just that Ziping asked me to take her into the palace today. I agreed, but she refused to sit quietly and insisted on demonstrating her talents in the main hall. Everyone saw her face."

Leng Zhongyan has always been cold, but now his expression is unbearable.

"Ma'am, did you do this on purpose?"

Yang Yuxiao raised her head and looked at Leng Zhongyan with disappointment: "We have been married for more than 20 years, and I have never fallen into your heart, and you have never believed in me."

Leng Zhongyan's face turned cold: "How do you want me to believe you? Do you dare to tell me how Ziping's mother died?"

Yang Yuxiao's hunched shoulders fell without tears.

On countless nights, the tears had long since dried up. This matter was between them and they could never talk calmly.

At that time, Leng Zhongyan doted on the concubine who looked very much like Princess Ruian, and the limelight overshadowed the official wife. However, he only doted on her and never thought of divorcing her and setting her up.

She still knew this.

But which woman doesn’t want to be favored by her husband.

So when my concubine was pregnant with the first child and it was confirmed that it was a boy, some manipulation was done, and the child was miscarried when it was four or five months old.

This time, the concubine's life was not injured, but her body was injured. She has not been pregnant for many years.

Later, she gave birth to three sons and one daughter one after another.

For the sake of the child, Leng Zhongyan's attitude toward her improved somewhat, until the concubine became pregnant again.

Leng Zhongyan put almost all his thoughts on that concubine and completely ignored her as his wife.

It was at that time that Yang Yuxiao had the idea of ​​leaving his mother and leaving his son.

Anyway, it’s a girl, so just keep it.

It's just a matter of food. When she grows up, she can also marry the Leng family, so she doesn't have to sacrifice her own daughter.
