Capital Datang

Seeing Li Yin's appearance, Wen Xin also knew that her husband must have her own difficulties, so she stopped "pressing" the question, but changed the subject and said: "By the way, my husband, the ninth brother wrote to you a few days ago, asking you to help He thought of a way so that the royal father and the queen mother would not object to his marriage with Cai'er, but you only wrote him a letter afterwards, what exactly was written in that letter?"

Hearing Wen Xin asked this question, Li Min's face turned serious, and he pretended to be profound and replied: "It doesn't matter what is written in the letter, the important thing is that I wrote this letter and received it. The person in question is Li Zhi!"

But as soon as Li Yin finished speaking, Nanyang in the crib probably drank too much water, and a stream of boy's urine flew out. The little guy was full of energy, and the stream of urine was also very accurate. Li Yin was sprayed all over Li Yin's face, and even Wen Xin was splashed quite a bit. As a result, the husband and wife were taken aback. While dodging in a hurry, they asked someone to prepare new bedding for Nanyang.

Turning to Chang'an Taiji Palace again, Empress Changsun was sitting in the Lizheng Hall, and beside her, a somewhat lazy Concubine Yang was also sitting there, holding a cup of green tea in her hand, sipping lightly one by one.

Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang are the same sisters. When they were together in the past, they were always talking and laughing, but the atmosphere in the hall today was rather dull. After a while, Empress Changsun suddenly sighed, with a somewhat depressed expression He said, "Sister, you and I have known each other for many years, so let's not be separated because of this."

Hearing Empress Changsun's words, Concubine Yang's body relaxed, and at the same time she showed a sincere smile and said: "Thank you for your understanding, sister, I also know that this matter makes sister very difficult. But Cai'er is my relative after all. My niece, and the crown prince has a deep affection for her. Even if they are separated now, it will be more disaster than blessing for Cai'er in the future."

Empress Changsun sighed again after hearing this, but then she said: "Sister, since we have talked about it, then sister will stop beating around the bush. Cai'er can marry a pheasant slave, but the identity of the crown princess Certainly not to her. We can only let her marry the pheasant slave together as Liangdi!"

Concubine Yang had expected this a long time ago, so she didn't seem surprised. In addition, she and Empress Changsun are both smart people, so there is no need to bargain at all, so she nodded immediately and said: "Thank you sister for fulfilling, this is what my little sister thinks." of."

However, Empress Changsun continued: "Sister, although you and I both know that Cai'er cannot be a crown princess, but the pheasant slave is very stubborn and insists on making Cai'er a crown princess, and Cai'er is not very old. I'm afraid she will have ideas, so I hope you can help me persuade them."

"Sister, don't worry. I understand all these things, but I am not easy to persuade the crown prince. It is best to convince Cai'er first, and then let Cai'er persuade the crown prince!" Concubine Yang said very seriously.

Empress Changsun also nodded after hearing this and said, "Well, that's fine too. It's my sister who is considerate!"

In the evening of that day, Concubine Yang left the palace again.They came to Madam Sui's mansion to find Empress Xiao, and told Empress Changsun what she meant. They had expected this result a long time ago, and they were also very satisfied, so they brought Cai'er back and told Caier everything , I hope she can agree to marry Li Zhi as Liangdi.

Cai'er was silent after hearing this, and sat there with her head lowered for a long time, before she asked Concubine Yang: "Aunt, if I become a princess, will it really have a great influence on Jiulang?"

"This..." Concubine Yang looked sadly at Empress Xiao, then at Cai'er, and then said, "Cai'er, you must know that our Yang family is a former royal family after all, if you really If you become the crown princess, it will indeed have a certain influence on the crown prince, and this is exactly what the empress does not want to see, so..."

Concubine Yang didn't say any more, but the meaning was already very clear.After Cai'er finished listening, she bit her lips tightly with her teeth, and also showed a painful expression on her face.As a woman, she naturally wants to be the wife of the one she loves, and Cai'er is no exception, but now she likes Li Zhi, and Li Zhi also likes herself, but because of her status, she cannot be Li Zhi's wife. As a wife, she can only be married as Liangdi. Although she can also become a noble concubine in the future, to put it bluntly, she is just a special concubine.

Seeing Cai'er's pained look, Empress Xiao also let out a long sigh, and said in a low voice: "Cai'er, if you don't want to marry, then we won't marry. At worst, I will let your cousin find a good family in Taiwan, and then we will have a good time. Just marry in the past and be a regular wife, and never return to Datang!"

But as soon as Empress Xiao's words fell, Cai'er suddenly said with a firm face: "Grandmother, aunt, Cai'er has decided, no matter what, I want to be with Jiulang, even if I am Liangdi, it's okay!"

Hearing what Cai'er said, Empress Xiao and Concubine Yang shook their heads helplessly. It seems that Cai'er really has a deep affection for the prince, and they also know that there is no way to persuade this matter, everything depends on it. What Cai'er meant, now that Cai'er has agreed, then this matter is settled like this.

Concubine Yang returned to the palace that night and told Empress Changsun what Cai'er had agreed to, and Cai'er also agreed to persuade Li Zhi, which made Empress Changsun heave a sigh of relief. Now that her son is grown up, she has her own opinions on some things. This time she was unable to influence Li Zhi's opinion, but if Cai'er persuaded her, it would definitely be effective.

But what Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang didn't expect was that Li Zhi entered the palace alone before Cai'er came to see Li Zhi in the early morning of the next day, and then went to the Hall of Liangyi to meet Li Shimin .

In the study next to the Liangyi Hall, Li Shimin asked without raising his head while correcting the memorial: "Pheasant slave, why do you have time to come to see Father today?"

Li Zhi raised his head and looked at the somewhat aged father in front of him, settled his mind, and then mustered up the courage to step forward and said: "Report to father, I have important matters to discuss with father!"

Hearing Li Zhi's words, Li Shimin also put down the memorial in his hand in surprise, then raised his head and glanced at Li Zhi, smiled and asked Li Zhi to sit down and said, "Oh, this is a bit strange. The emperor's discussion, is it about your concubine?"

As an emperor, he can't hide anything from Li Shimin's ears, but he thinks some things are irrelevant, so he cares about them lazily, as long as it doesn't cause too much chaos, and the matter of concubine Li Zhi is important. , but in Li Shimin's view, there is no need to bother him about accepting who is the crown princess.Capital Datang 487

Seeing that his father seemed to know everything, Li Zhi blushed, but he still said cheekily: "Father is wise, this is what I want to talk about."

"Your mother is right. Liulang's cousin is good, but her identity is a bit sensitive. It's fine to be a good concubine, but the crown princess can't be so hasty. I heard from your mother that among the Taiyuan Wang and Fanyang Lu clans There are a few women who are waiting to be married, and their family backgrounds are also good, so maybe your crown princess will have to choose from these two families."

Because of the development of industry and commerce, the traditional status of the aristocratic families has been greatly challenged. Among them, the Wang family of Taiyuan and the Lu family of Fan Yang have been hit the hardest. However, they are also the first two major families to wake up. They began to marry people outside the aristocratic family, and the royal family was the main object of their marriage.

Hearing that the father and the emperor also supported the empress mother, Li Zhi felt cold all over his body. He had hoped to persuade Li Shimin, and then through the other party to persuade his mother, the eldest grandson empress, but now it seems that this hope was in vain.

Originally, if Li Zhi had followed his previous temperament, no matter how courageous he was, he would not dare to say anything now, but at this moment Li Zhi suddenly thought of the letter written to him by his sixth brother Li Yin yesterday, although he There is also Xu Zhi, but now he doesn't care so much!

Thinking of this, Li Zhi took another step forward and said: "Father, I don't want to marry a daughter of any family, except Cai'er, I don't want to marry anyone!"

"Hmm!" Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment, he never thought that his son, who has always been somewhat cowardly, dared to contradict him, which made him too late to get angry, but he had a very fresh feeling, and at the same time stared at Li Zhi with fiery eyes, It was as if he was meeting his son for the first time.

Although Li Zhi lowered his head, he could still feel his father's sharp eyes sizing him up. Although he tried his best to look calm, cold sweat still flowed from his forehead and temples. I prayed secretly, hoping that the advice Sixth Brother gave me would be effective.

"It's good that she won't marry you!" Li Shimin stared at his son for a long time, then suddenly narrowed his eyes, and said in a cold voice, "But what if I have to 'force' you to marry another woman?"

Hearing his father's voice was chilling, Li Zhi was not only sweating coldly, even the clothes on his back were wet with sweat.In addition, he also felt a kind of student pressure from Li Shimin. If it weren't for the support of a belief in his heart, he might have succumbed long ago.

However, Li Zhi has not been in vain in the military academy for the past few years. After he felt that he was "forced" into a desperate situation, he became ruthless, suddenly raised his head, looked straight into Li Shimin's eyes and said, "Father, If you insist on "forcing" Erchen to marry another woman as a concubine, then forgive Erchen for being unfilial, and I will find a chance to take Cai'er and escape to Sixth Brother, and you know Sixth Brother's temper, he is absolutely not I will hand over Erchen and Cai'er to the royal father!"

Hearing his son's words, Li Shimin almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. He didn't expect Li Zhi to have such a hand, and even threatened him with elopement.However, Li Shimin woke up suddenly. Based on his understanding of Li Zhi, the other party would definitely not say such words. In other words, behind Li Zhi's back, someone must be teaching him to say this.As for who will teach Li Zhi to say such outrageous words? It is simply obvious.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin suddenly yelled: "Bastard, did your sixth brother come up with the idea for you behind the scenes?" Mobile users please go to read
