Xian Yi slapped her royal brother's hand away and rolled her eyes in disgust.
Xuanzong reprimanded Li Hao dissatisfied: "A man who is already married still bullies your imperial sister. It's really dishonest."
Yesterday at Prince Shou's Mansion, Li Sixu told Xuanzong that she had reached an agreement with the Lin family in Quanzhou. Lin Luan had promised her that he would preside over shipbuilding matters in Quanzhou and help recruit people with shipbuilding experience.
I heard that the Wang family's glaze workshop was also firing a batch of glaze wares in preparation for the imperial court's overseas trade.
Shipbuilding and cargo preparation should be carried out at the same time, so that we can set sail from Quanzhou after the beginning of spring.
Xuanzong happened to be discussing sailing with Li Sixu, so he led Xianyi into the royal chariot and walked to Ganlu Hall. After entering the cherry garden, he heard a sound of piano like gurgling water coming from the Waterside Pavilion. .
Turning around a cherry bush, I saw a shadow of fragrant clothes and temples in the Waterside Pavilion, and a beautiful woman playing the piano, with her eyebrows slightly furrowed, as gorgeous as a peach or plum.
A plump beauty is so beautiful!
But Xuanzong felt that she was somewhat familiar.
He was wondering where on earth he had seen his daughter-in-law?
At this time, Li Sixu came out of the pebble path and said, "Father, you also think that my younger siblings look like Empress Wu, right?"
"This is what I thought when I met her for the first time."
After Li Sixu's reminder, Xuanzong finally realized where this sense of familiarity came from.
If you look carefully, his daughter-in-law Yang's features do look a bit like Wu Chongyuan.
Suddenly enlightened, Xuanzong didn't know what he thought of. Although the person who played the piano was extremely beautiful and was very proficient in the music, he just couldn't like it, and even felt a little bored from the bottom of his heart.
Realizing that his father's brows were furrowed and his expression was somewhat displeased, Li Hao's expression froze and he looked at his imperial sister in confusion.
At this time, Li Sixu smiled slightly and changed her tone: "It's just that her facial features are somewhat similar to those of Empress Wu, but her temperament is completely different. She has a gentle temperament and is well versed in music. She is very compatible with my mother and concubine."
Xuanzong's frown relaxed, and the annoyance in his heart became less. He no longer disliked Yang Yuhuan, whose facial features were somewhat similar to Wu Chongyuan's, but there was a gap in his heart.
Therefore, no matter how beautiful the person playing the piano was, he still looked away from her and fell on Concubine Yu beside her.
When he looked at Concubine Yu, his eyes were a little softer and doting.
Li Sixu noticed the subtle changes in his father's expression and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Hao also changed from being confused about Li Sixu's move at the beginning to being grateful, because when she first met Yang Yuhuan, it was because at first glance, she had some similarities with her mother-in-law.
However, as he got to know her better, he was attracted by her gentle temperament and her talents in music, singing and dancing, and he fell in love with her more and more.
Rather than having his father notice later that his Huan Huan looks like his mother's concubine, it would be better for the imperial sister to point it out directly and say a few nice words for her, so that the father would not be bored with her.
Seeing his father's frown relaxed, it showed that he would not be blamed for this matter, so Li Hao looked at Li Sixu gratefully.
While Xuanzong and Li Sixu were talking, under distant reminders, Yu Guifei and Yang Yuhuan, who were competing in piano skills, finally discovered that Xuanzong was coming and hurriedly came forward to greet him.
"You and Mao'er should be of the same mind as husband and wife and get along well."
Xuanzong only gave one instruction, then looked away from Yang Yuhuan and took Concubine Yu's hand: "I'm unlucky to be here. Is Lin'er asleep again?"
"It's not a coincidence that the Emperor came here. The child is already feeling overwhelmed. It will get better after a while."
Being held by Xuanzong in full view of everyone, Yu Guifei tried to struggle under her wide sleeves. Xuanzong noticed her little movement and held her hand tighter.
Seeing that Xuanzong had succeeded, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Concubine Yu's almond-shaped eyes were filled with soft waves: "I have been sleeping for a long time, and I think I will wake up now. I will ask Aunt Wei to bring Lin'er."
He has a talent for keeping fish beautiful. After so many years, even after he gave birth to Lin'er, her facial expressions and movements are still the same as the pretty girl when they first met her.
The beauty's soft almond-shaped eyes were slightly resentful, which aroused Xuanzong's heart.
While he was in a trance, Concubine Yu successfully broke away from his hand. Xuanzong hurriedly said in a warm voice: "There is no need to hug him, so as not to scare him. I will follow my concubine to see him."
His father and the imperial concubine were as loving as ever and acted as if no one else was around.
Li Hao thought that Huanhuan of his family had been harassing the imperial concubine for a long time today, so he hurriedly took Yang Yuhuan with him, excused himself to visit Yang Guifei, and left.
Concubine Yu looked at Yang Yuhuan with a smile: "I feel like old friends at first sight. When you enter the palace, you should come to Ganlu Hall often."
Concubine Yu doesn't have the arrogance of being in a high position at all. She is very gentle and sincere in her treatment of others, and her temperament is not complicated.
As soon as he came into contact, Yang Yuhuan felt like a gentle breeze and drizzle.
After walking out of the Ganlu Hall, she said to Li Hao: "Yuhuan just praised the piano she was playing today, so the empress promised to give the piano to her close friend, so she gave the piano to Yuhuan. The empress is really very good, no wonder To be favored by my father..."
The baby was a little wrinkled when it was first born. After three or four months, it has grown out. It is really cute. When Li Sixu teased him, Prince Lin grinned.
Xuanzong looked at his emperor, and the fatigue of taking care of government affairs was gone. He should have gone back to the imperial study earlier to handle political affairs, but couldn't help but stay and finish lunch with Concubine Yu.
Li Sixu followed Xuanzong to discuss matters, while Concubine Yu hugged her infant child thoughtfully.
Aunt Wei asked tentatively from the side: "Empress, is that what the princess means?"
"To say that the princess is really worried about the empress and the little prince. First she asked herself to be stripped of her identity as a princess, just to protect the empress and the little prince. Now she is worried that someone else has taken away the empress' favor. "
Is she worried that someone will take away her favor? Or are you worried that Yang will be her father's doom?
It is true that most of Xuanzong's concubines were proficient in music, full of talents, or extremely good at singing and dancing.
Someone like Yang, who has a gentle temperament, is good at singing, dancing and proficient in music, is very popular with His Majesty, so today I tried her talent.
"Ms. Yang has a gentle temperament and doesn't have any bad intentions. I think it's because Sisi has a special rapport with her that she is allowed to come to Ganlu Hall more often. Mammy, don't make any assumptions."
Concubine Yu teased the infant prince and asked Aunt Wei: "I have asked you to help check the warehouse these days. How are you preparing Sisi's dowry?"
"This is what I have registered in the register according to your Majesty's instructions. Please take a look at it."
Concubine Yu put the little prince into the cradle and asked Yaoyao to help open the booklet with the gift list. On it were jewelry, clothing, silks and cloths, antique calligraphy and paintings, utensils, precious stones, precious spices, and medicinal and field shops, all listed one by one. on it.
After reciting for a long time, Concubine Yu shook her head and told Aunt Wei: "These are not enough. Add half of what is listed above."
