Wu Meiniang was a little ashamed in her heart, but she refused to give in. She blushed and said with a smile: "You are the princess, who dares to steal a man from you? Meiniang originally wanted to serve the prince consort with you, if you are tired When you feel relieved, breathe slowly and give alms to Mei Niang for a moment..."
Seeing Princess Gaoyang's brows standing upright and her face flushed, Fang Jun quickly stopped her: "Stop, stop, stop! What do you think of this Wolf Lord? Shut up, tonight we will be sleeping together, and the rain and dew will be soaked in her!"
"Pooh!"
Princess Gao Yang spat and said angrily: "Who is as shameless as you two? I will take my son to bed tonight, and you two will just go and have a good time, but I am too lazy to look at you!"
After saying that, he quickly got up and retreated to the back hall, lest Fang Jun get interested and ask them to wait together...
Fang Jun looked at Wu Meiniang. This woman's eyes seemed to be watering. Her dimples were red with embarrassment. She bit her red lips and said softly: "I ordered someone to fetch water..."
Then he walked out quickly.
Fang Jun stretched out, smiled, stood up, put his hands behind his back, walked out of the main hall with square steps, and wandered towards Wu Meiniang's residence...
*****
Early in the morning, Li Chengqian got up early to take a shower and change clothes. After breakfast, he prepared to enter the palace to see his father.
Crown Princess Su stood behind him and gently arranged his clothes. There was a trace of uneasiness on her beautiful face. She hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help it and asked softly: "What if His Highness asks Father to marry Lan Tianxia to the Fang family?" , will it make my father angry?"
Although she was not involved in the affairs of the court, she was born into a family of officials, so she did not know anything about the affairs of the court.
His Majesty Li Er is obviously partial to the King of Jin, and hopes that the King of Jin will inherit the great treasure. As a rising force among the younger generation in the current dynasty, Fang Jun has the Shandong aristocratic family and the Jiangnan gentry standing behind him. Not only can he compete with Changsun Wuji and others The prince's marriage to Fang Jun became even more powerful at this time, which was extremely detrimental to the king of Jin. His majesty, Li Er, might become angry because of his humiliation.
The prince smiled, patted the princess's hand, and said softly: "Don't worry, my dear, although my father is somewhat prejudiced against orphans and prefers young slaves, he is by no means a person who is indifferent to right from wrong and is blindly partial. It would be better if the father agreed to this marriage. Even if he opposed it, he would still feel a little guilty in his heart. After all, he was able to win back a victory for the child slave... As for Fang Jun, is there such a marriage? He will always stand by Gu's side and fight side by side."
Crown Princess Su was stunned for a moment, then she came to her senses, looked around and saw no one around, and said with some panic: "Did Your Highness deliberately mention this marriage to make Father feel guilty for you? What if Father knew about this?" , I will definitely be angry with you! Furthermore, Fang Shaobao seems to be acting recklessly, but in fact he has outstanding strategy. He may not be able to see your thoughts, Your Highness. Wouldn’t it make Fang Shaobao feel alienated and alienated? "
Li Chengqian straightened his collar, turned around and looked at the Crown Princess, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "I know Fang Jun better than you do, but you take him too lightly. Do you think Fang Jun spared no effort to support Gu?" , is it because Gu has so much trust in him?"
Crown Princess Su said blankly: "Isn't it?"
"of course not."
Li Chengqian looked at the beautiful but confused wife in front of him, and said solemnly: "Fang Jun is definitely not a person who is greedy for power. He wants high officials to show his nobility just to be able to implement his political ideas smoothly. Otherwise, even if his father is Even if he was given the position of prime minister and assistant, he would not care. So he will not be alienated from Guli, because he knows that as long as Gu ascends the throne one day, he will support him unreservedly in implementing the New Deal. We are on the same road, and we are together. In our hearts, Datang is more important than anything else."
Crown Princess Su remained silent.
It is indeed difficult for her to understand this feeling. In her opinion, whether it is Fang Jun supporting the prince, or the prince trying his best to keep the throne, isn't it ultimately to seize higher and stronger power? Isn't it true that men with great ambitions and high positions and good salaries are like this?
Ideas are of course important, but can a man be made to give up all his likes and dislikes just for the illusory ideal in his heart?
Li Chengqian patted her shoulder, turned around and walked out of the main hall.
…
When they arrived at Taiji Palace, they entered the Dragon Palace under the leadership of the chamberlain. His Majesty Li Er had just finished his breakfast. He poured the mouthwash into the copper bowl, took the silk handkerchief handed over by the palace maid and wiped his hands. He looked at the prince standing in front of him and asked. He said: "Now all parts of Guanzhong are busy with the autumn harvest. This is a major national event. The prince should contact the officials of the lower states and counties to provide assistance and supervision. Why is it so important to come here now?"
Li Chengqian took a step forward, bowed and saluted, and said loudly: "I heard that Fangjia Lishan Farm has cultivated a high-yielding Jiahe. This is a blessing from heaven and a blessing to all the people of the Tang Dynasty! Therefore, I have come to congratulate my father!" "
congratulate?
I'm afraid you're here to cause trouble for me...
His Majesty Li Er didn't have much joy on his face. He threw the silk handkerchief to the maid, waved his hand and drove all the maids serving in the palace out. Then he picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "You come to congratulate me on becoming a father. Husband is about to congratulate you, Crown Prince. Fang Jun is very loyal to you. He has single-handedly produced the Jiahe, which can be said to be an eternal miracle, but he is willing to surrender to you. Now everyone knows that the birth of auspiciousness is the result of the Crown Prince. The voices of singing praises and virtues are endless, which is gratifying and congratulatory.”
Listening to these strange words, Li Chengqian naturally understood that his father was probably very unhappy at the moment. He had achieved such a miraculous feat for nothing, and his reputation suddenly skyrocketed, and he had left the young slaves far behind in an instant...
Feeling uneasy, he carefully looked at his father's face, and saw that although it was ugly, he was not very angry. Then he felt a little at ease and said distressedly: "My son, I don't know anything about this. I went to Lishan Mountain several times before. I also saw the Jiahe cultivated by Fang Jun, and just casually said a few things that ordinary grain seedlings should pay attention to. Who would have expected that it would be so productive in the end? Fang Jun went to the East Palace last night and talked about it with his son, who just got it. You know, you deserve it!"
"Oh? Did you really not know beforehand?"
His Majesty Li Er held the tea cup, somewhat unbelieving.
Li Chengqian pointed to the sky and swore: "How dare I deceive my father? I really know nothing!"
His Majesty Li Er was silent for a moment, sighed, and said helplessly: "This Fang Jun is really devoted to you... No matter what happens in the future, these ministers are willing to humbly submit such miraculous achievements to you. Their loyalty can be seen from the sun and the moon. You will never Do not treat him badly."
Li Chengqian said hurriedly: "Thank you for your father's teaching. I thought the same thing. So last night when Fang Jun went to the East Palace, I was excited and drank a few more drinks. My father also knew that my alcohol capacity was not good, but Fang Jun was very drunk." A person who is not drunk will accidentally drink too much and do something inappropriate in a daze..."
His Majesty Li Er raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "What an inappropriate thing?"
Li Chengqian frowned, sighed, and looked very annoyed and embarrassed. After a while, he said: "My son was very outspoken for a while, and promised... promised Lan Tian's marriage."
His Majesty Li Er's hand holding the tea cup paused momentarily, and he stared at Li Chengqian: "Speak clearly."
"Here!"
Li Chengqian said with a guilty conscience: "My son was drunk, and for a moment he spoke without hesitation, so he promised Lantian to Fang Jun's eldest son..."
His Majesty Li Er looked gloomy. He put the teacup on the coffee table next to him and stroked his beard without saying a word.
The atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed like water could drip out...
Li Chengqian swallowed his saliva, encouraged himself in his heart, and continued: "Fortunately, Fang Jun did not agree on the spot. He only said that after returning home, he would inform the Prime Minister and ask the Prime Minister to make a decision. I thought about my father all the time. She loves Lantian very much, so her marriage must be decided by her father. Therefore, she went to the palace today to ask for his father's will. If you don't agree, I will come to the door in person later to plead guilty to the husband. To say that I am just talking nonsense after drinking is not true..."
"Nonsense!"
His Majesty Li Er drank and waited for Li Chengqian to say: "In a majestic imperial family, and you are the prince, how can you talk nonsense? What's more, you agreed to get married last night, went to the palace early this morning, and turned around to go to the room. Is it to make the Fang Xiang think that a certain person looks down on their Fang family and is not even optimistic about their Fang family’s future prospects?”
Li Chengqian was trembling and apologized: "My son, I didn't think carefully, please forgive me for my father's happiness."
"snort!"
His Majesty Li Er snorted angrily and scolded: "Don't think that someone can't see through your little scheme and wants to retreat in order to advance? When I am playing this, you are still nursing!"
