Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

Shouwang Mansion.

As the eighteenth son of Concubine Wu Hui and Li Longji, the longevity king Li Xuan was loved by thousands of people. Before the wedding even started, a large number of guests gathered in front of the palace.

These guests ranged from royal family members, princes and ministers, to third-rank officials, and local governors all came to attend the wedding banquet in advance.

Seeing Li Linfu's carriage approaching from a distance, several cabinet ministers' eyes lit up and they greeted him.

"I have a meeting with Prime Minister Li. You are here so early. Could it be that Gao Xianzhi has finished processing it?"

The door curtain opened, and Li Linfu stroked his beard with a smile.

"It won't take long for a few rebellious ministers and traitors, but we don't dare to delay the wedding banquet of King Shou."

"That's because Li Xiang is the right prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. How can we miss you on such an important occasion as King Shou's wedding?"

While he was talking, a young man with a hair crown, red lips and white teeth came over. The princes and ministers bowed and saluted wherever he passed.

"Your Majesty, Li Linfu, came to see His Royal Highness King Shou. Why did you come out in person to celebrate your wedding?"

Li Xuan helped Li Linfu up with both hands and said happily: "I heard that Prime Minister Li is coming, how can I hide in the palace and ignore him? Come on, let's go in and talk."

"Your Highness, you're too polite. How dare I ask you to come out to greet me in person? It's a sin. It's a sin."

Although Li Linfu said this, he felt very happy in his heart.

To think that he, a little man in the market, could live his life to the point where the prince personally welcomed him was a life worth living.

Li Chen smiled and said nothing, glancing at Yang Guozhong beside him.

"Yang Aiqing is here too, let's go in together. When father and mother come, Xiao Wang will give you a drink!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Yang Guozhong nodded excitedly and followed the two of them to the palace.

At this time, a clear sound of whipping suddenly came from the end of the street, followed by loud singing and drinking.

"Your Majesty is here!"

Li Chen and Li Linfu looked at each other, smiled and shook their heads.

"Let's go, let's go meet our father and queen."

Under everyone's respectful gaze, Yu Hu slowly arrived at Prince Shou's Mansion and stopped in front of Li Wei.

The imperial curtain opened, and Li Longji, who was wearing a five-clawed golden dragon suit, walked out. Next to him was the graceful Concubine Wu Hui.

"My son, Li Chen, has met his father, the emperor, and his mother, the queen!"

"I am waiting to see Your Majesty, Concubine Hui!"

Looking at everyone, Li Longji smiled lightly.

"Your Majesty and all my dear friends, please get up. There is no need to be polite on your wedding day."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After everyone straightened up, Li Long stepped forward and held Li Longji's arm, smiling.

"Father, my son has prepared songs and dances from the Western Regions for you, shall we go in and enjoy them?"

Li Longji smiled and patted his son on the shoulder: "Your Majesty is interested."

When passing by Li Linfu, Li Longji paused and said calmly.

"Li Aiqing, how is the Gao Xianzhi case handled?"

"Your Majesty, the chief criminal and his subordinates were all beheaded. No one was spared." Li Linfu returned with his hands in hand.

"Well done, let's go in and enjoy the singing and dancing of the Western Regions!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

In the awed eyes of the guests, Li Longji walked into the palace courtyard with his wife and children.

This time, in order to please his father and mother, Li Chen specially invited music masters from Liyuan and the Western Regions to perform.

Therefore, Li Longji burst into applause as soon as the singers came on stage.

Especially when a woman with a plump figure and a pretty face appeared on the stage, Li Longji's eyes widened.

I just felt that I could never find another beauty like this in the world. I subconsciously got up and went to the palace musicians to take the instrument and started playing it for the woman on the stage.

Li Longji is a talented musical master. Under his playing, the woman's dance becomes more and more graceful, like a fairy dancing in the sky.

After an unknown amount of time, the music stopped, and the few Hu Ji who were dancing for fun withdrew, leaving only a most beautiful woman who stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

"My concubine Yang Yuhuan is here to see your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

"His Majesty?"

"His Majesty?"

Realizing that someone was calling him, Li Longji covered his mouth with his hand and coughed to hide the embarrassment on his face, and asked with a smile.

"Are you Yang Yuhuan, Long'er's princess?"

When the emperor heard the news, Yang Yuhuan lowered her beautiful eyes and nodded gently, her clear voice as sweet as a lark.

"Your Majesty, my concubine Yang Yuhuan is a native of Bashu. She has been proficient in music since she was a child. Although the music I heard you played just now has an ethereal air to it, it has some shortcomings. Is it a newly created music?"

Li Xuan's expression changed slightly and he whispered: "Yuhuan, you are not allowed to show off your music in front of your father."

After saying that, he apologized to Li Longji and said, "I hope my father will forgive me. Yuhuan has been obsessed with music since she was a child and has no intention of contradicting you."

Li Longji laughed loudly, flicked his sleeves and said loudly.

"It's a joke. I am the lord of the world and I have thousands of miles of land. How can I care about a woman? You are right. This song is indeed my new composition. It is called the Song of Colorful Feather Clothes!"

"There are indeed a lot of unsatisfactory things in it. I didn't expect you to find the problem when you first listened to this song. It's really not simple."

Speaking of this, Li Longji gave Li Chen a meaningful look.

"Lang'er is so blessed to have a wife."

"Thank you for exaggerating, father." Li Chen saluted proudly, not noticing the jealousy in Li Longji's eyes.

After three drinks and five dishes, Concubine Wu Hui saw that the emperor was drinking and composing poems with several ministers. She winked at Li Linfu and Li Chen, and the three of them came to a main hall.

As soon as the door closed, Concubine Wu Hui couldn't wait to ask.

"Prime Minister Li, how are things going? Do the ministers of the Zhongshu Province support my son's appointment as the crown prince?"

Li Linfu shook his head and said with a slightly heavy expression.

"To be honest with Concubine Hui, there are two diehards in Zhongshu Province who are Zhang Jiuling's remnants. As long as Li Ying is still the crown prince, they will not agree to change the title of His Royal Highness to Prince Shou."

"How dare these two old men have trouble with me!"

Concubine Wu Hui's beautiful eyes flashed fiercely, and she clenched her hands tightly together, thinking in her mind how to get rid of these two stubborn old men.

As if he knew what she was thinking, Li Linfu shook his head.

"My Majesty, you don't have to worry about those two stubborn old men. I will get rid of them. On the contrary, Prince Li Ying is a trouble."

"As long as he is alive, there will be people in the government who will hold high the banner of orderliness between young and old to oppose us."

"so……"

"You mean to get rid of Prince Li Ying?" Concubine Wu Hui was startled and her voice was a bit sharp.

Li Linfu nodded and sneered repeatedly. "As the saying goes, a man who is petty is not a gentleman, and a man who is innocent is not a husband. Anyway, His Majesty has long wanted to depose the prince. Why don't we fulfill his wish?"

Concubine Wu Hui's face was uncertain. She did not rush to agree to Li Linfu's proposal. Instead, she walked to the window to weigh the pros and cons.

Yoshihisa
She turned around and said with a cold face: "Okay, I agree to your proposal and will immediately implement it according to the previously agreed plan!"

"This time, I want Prince Li Ying to die without a burial place!"

Seeing that his mother-in-law and Li Xiang were talking endlessly, Li Chen looked up at the sunset outside and became a little impatient.

In his opinion, deposing his eldest brother was completely unnecessary. Judging from his father's love for him, the position of prince would be his own sooner or later, so why bother to frame his eldest brother.

"Mother and concubine, the auspicious time has come and the child is going to the bridal chamber. Let's talk now."

Nodding towards Li Linfu, Li Chen walked out of the hall towards the bedroom with his hands behind his back.

However, what he didn't know was that there was already someone in the bridal chamber who was one step ahead of him.

As the door opened, Li Longji, smelling of alcohol, staggered into the bedroom. His eyes glanced around the room, and finally settled on Yang Yuhuan, who was sitting in front of the bed and wearing a red hijab.

He rubbed his hands with hot eyes and walked towards Yang Yuhuan. Ever since the two met during the day, Li Longji's mind was filled with Yang Yuhuan's graceful figure.

After some painful torture, he finally let go of the restraints in his heart and came to the palace to occupy this stunning woman.

Hearing someone coming in, Yang Yuhuan's delicate body visibly trembled, and her voice was gentle.

"Your Highness, why did you drink so much? Didn't I tell you to drink less?"

Li Longji sneered and blew out the candle, then picked up Yang Yuhuan and walked to the bed. Soon, a seductive voice sounded in the darkness...

After a lot of ups and downs, Yang Yuhuan opened his eyes and looked at his man.

However, this look was like falling into an ice cave, and the whole person froze, and his voice trembled.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, why is it you?"

Looking at the beauty with pear blossoms and rain, Li Longji leaned on the bed in a comfortable mood and said indifferently.

"Why are you crying? In the whole world, there is nothing but the king's land, and there is nothing but the king's ministers on the shore of the land. Although you have made a marriage contract with Long'er, there is no real relationship between husband and wife. At worst, I will find another one for him afterwards."

"On the contrary, it's a peerless beauty like you, how can I bear to miss her?"

Yang Yuhuan was so ashamed and angry that she wished she could find a place to end her life. She never thought that there would be such a shameless emperor in the world, who would even take over his daughter-in-law.

"Okay, please be patient for a few days. After a short time, I will ask Gao Lishi to arrange for you to be a Taoist priest for a period of time. After you have passed the limelight, I will take you into the palace as a noble concubine."

Seeing Yang Yuhuan crying non-stop, Li Longji could only use his trump card.

Sure enough, Yang Yuhuan cried much less loudly when she heard that she would be named a noble concubine.

Just when Li Longji thought everything was fine, Li Chen's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Hey, didn't I have people light red candles? Why were they all extinguished?"

"Your Highness, did the princess go to bed first because she was tired?"

"It's possible. Please step back first, and I will go in and take a look."

Hearing that Li Chen was about to come in, Yang Yuhuan was so frightened that her face turned pale and she quickly spoke out.

"Your Highness, wait a minute! In order not to affect your luck, you should go to the hall to rest for a while, and I will see you again after I have washed myself."

"Tiankui is here?" Li Ling outside the door was startled, then hesitated and said: "Yuhuan, you are not in any condition. Do you want me to invite the imperial doctor to take your pulse?"

How dare Yang Yuhuan, who was naked on the bed, let Li Chen in, immediately shook his head and said.

"Your Highness, Tiankui is an unknown object. I can just deal with it myself. You can go back to the hall first."

Li Chen didn't think much and returned to the hall with a few words of advice.

After he left, Yang Yuhuan breathed a long sigh of relief and begged Li Longji.

"Your Majesty, Yuhuan, please leave quickly. If someone bumps into you, how can I have the dignity to live in this world?"

Li Longji chuckled lightly, took Yang Yuhuan in his arms and cherished her, got up, put on the royal robe and walked out, and said before opening the door.

"You are the second woman who makes my heart beat. In a few days, you can find an excuse to become a female Taoist priest. Then I will take you into the palace." After that, he opened the door and left.

Looking at the man's back, Yang Yuhuan covered her face and cried softly...

"Hey, father, where have you been? Why didn't I see you?"

Li Chen, who was waiting in the hall to enter the bridal chamber, looked up and saw his father coming back, and asked with some confusion.

Li Longji coughed and glanced around at the guests.

"I went to relieve myself. When your mother-in-law comes back, tell her that I am a little tired and will go back to the palace first. Let her go back in the sedan by herself."

"My son, I obey." After watching the emperor leave Prince Shou's Mansion, Li Long ordered the butler to receive the guests, and then he got up and walked to the palace.

After such a long time, it’s time for Yang Yuhuan’s Tiankui to be dealt with...

……

East Palace, Prince's Mansion.

Compared to Prince Shou's mansion, which is full of crowded streets and decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, this place is undoubtedly much deserted.

In Nuo Da's Prince's Mansion, there were only a few servants, Liao Liao, leaning on the doorpost and dozing off. The dim lanterns shone on their faces, which made them look particularly pale.

Prince Li Ying walked around the hall alone, raising his head to look outside from time to time, with an anxious look on his eyebrows.

"Your Highness, King of Light Li Ju and King of E Li Yao are asking for an audience outside the palace!" After an unknown amount of time, a chamberlain hurriedly walked into the hall and said.

Li Ying's eyes lit up and she hurriedly ordered the chamberlain to invite the two of them in.

As soon as the three brothers met, Li Ying asked anxiously.

"How are you two brothers? Did your father really go to King Shou's wedding banquet?"

Li Ju and Li Yao looked at each other and nodded with heavy expressions.

"Brother, the two of us saw with our own eyes that Your Majesty went to Prince Shou's Mansion and did not return to the palace until late at night. I think it is true that the rumors in the public eye are going to depose you and make Li Ling the crown prince."

As soon as these words came out, Li Ying's heart skipped a beat, and she slumped down on the chair with a pale face, her hands trembling non-stop.

"What can we do, what can we do..."

Seeing this, Li Yao sighed, rubbed his forehead and said.

"Concubine Wu Hui often slanders my three brothers in front of His Majesty recently. I think it won't be long before we are in trouble."

"Yes, it would be great if Prime Minister Zhang Jiuling was still here. With him dealing with us in front of the emperor, we still have a way to survive. Now that it's Li Linfu, our good days are over." Li Ju agreed.

Unexpectedly, Li Ying, who looked panicked before, suddenly gritted his teeth and sneered, with a cold look in his eyes.

"That's not necessarily the case. We still have a way to go now..."

"Oh, what do you mean by your highness? Are there ministers from Zhongshu's province willing to support us?" Li Ju and Li Yao asked curiously.

"They are no match for Li Linfu and Wu Huifei. If we want to turn defeat into victory, we have only one way to go."

"That is to cooperate with King Yan Xin. Only if he takes action can we defeat Li Linfu and Concubine Wu Hui!"

Li Ying said confidently, thinking of the six men she had contact with two days ago.
