The snow was falling outside the house, making the whole sky feel hazy.
In the Yang Mansion in Junyangfang, the charcoal stove emits bursts of heat to resist the ruthless cold. It is mixed with the smell of sandalwood, making people drowsy.
Yang Fan was leaning on the couch, enjoying the treatment of the wounded with half-squinted eyes.
As long as he opened his mouth slightly, a pair of pure white hands would immediately serve him sweet and juicy grapes, which made Yang Fan feel proud.
Looking at Princess Gao Yang who was kneeling and serving him like a maid, Yang Fan couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth.
Who in this world can enjoy the careful care of this arrogant princess?
Even His Majesty Li Er does not receive such treatment.
A sense of satisfaction of conquest arises from the bottom of my heart.
At this moment, Wu Meiniang walked lightly on her lotus steps, and Shi Shiran walked into the main hall from the backyard.
From the yawns that he kept covering with his hands, it could be seen that his mental state was somewhat bad.
But the remaining trace of spring on her face is like a red hibiscus, which can be squeezed out of water.
Looking at Princess Gaoyang who was feeding Yang Fan, Wu Meiniang made a bow and lightly opened her red lips: "Meiniang has met Her Highness the Princess."
"Sister, there is no need to be polite. We are all members of our own family. There is no need to perform these false rituals in the future." Princess Gaoyang said softly with her small hands.
Seeing Wu Meiniang dressed up, she looked graceful and luxurious.
Even as a woman, Princess Gaoyang couldn't help but secretly admire Wu Meiniang's charm.
However, Princess Gaoyang was even more surprised by the change in the temperament of this beautiful woman in front of her.
He was simply high-spirited and had an astonishing aura, and his every frown and smile seemed to indicate the direction of the country.
This Wu Meiniang is not simple, and Princess Gaoyang does not dare to look down upon her at all.
As the business scale of Junyangfang grew larger and larger, the trade controlled by Wu Meiniang had taken root in various parts of the Tang Dynasty, and even developed outside the territory.
It is said that shipping will be opened soon, and she will cross the ocean. She will be a strong woman and worthy of being the goddess of wealth praised by everyone in Guanzhong.
It only took more than a year for Wu Meiniang to expand the business to such a large scale. Princess Gaoyang was sure that another person would never be able to do better than Wu Meiniang.
Of course, the arrogant Princess Gaoyang will not be afraid of Wu Meiniang, because she knows that no one can shake her position as the head wife.
Moreover, Princess Gao Yang is not a stupid person. From her interactions with Yang Fan, she is well aware of Yang Fan's temperament.
This future husband may seem easy-going, but in fact he cares deeply about his family and friends, even treating his servants as equals.
If she dared to use her status as a princess to stage a drama of competition between wives and concubines, she would definitely be unhappy.
In this case, it is better to take the initiative to show favor to Wu Meiniang to gain Yang Fan's favor.
This is also the reason why the arrogant princess Princess Gao Yang is willing to lower her body and serve Yang Fan.
In addition to the love for Yang Fan in his heart, there is also a little scheming.
"Thank you for your grace, Your Highness. Meiniang is ashamed to accept it." Wu Meiniang smiled and said respectfully.
Then he sat down on the other side of Yang Fan.
As she controlled more and more wealth and saw the wider world, Wu Meiniang became more confident.
Of course, she wasn't trying to compete for the position of head wife.
Compete with Princess Gaoyang?
That's something only a fool would do!
Wu Meiniang understands the principle of shooting the first bird.
In this era where imperial power is supreme, His Majesty the Emperor stands behind everyone.
Even in the future, the next emperor will still be his elder brother or younger brother...
How to fight?
Since we can't fight, it's better to recognize the reality. Why not accept Gao Yang as a sister?
What's more, based on Yang Fan's current status and the heights he may reach in the future.
It is conceivable that there must be many women who have been thrust into the backyard of Yang Mansion due to various relationships.
Instead of having to deal with the women sent by various forces, and even scheming with each other, why not let Her Royal Highness the Princess take the lead.
The charm of her husband, Wu Meiniang, is obvious to all.
Not to mention sister Wu Shun, but also Xiao Shiyun, Cheng Yuzhu and the like, which one is not like a moth to the flame?
There must be a lot of women like this in the future, so she is too lazy to have a headache.
Princess Gao Yang smiled lightly and said: "My sister is too outrageous to say anything about kindness. You and I, sisters, should be of one heart and one mind and serve your husband well together."
"Besides, my sister has worked hard for the Yang Mansion. My sister should thank you more. In the future, you and I will work together to promote the Hou Mansion, so that we can live up to your husband's trust."
Although Princess Gaoyang is extremely arrogant, she is not without any brains.
Wu Meiniang can take charge of almost all the industries of Yang Mansion, and her means and abilities can be imagined.
Besides, Princess Gaoyang is also self-aware.
If she was asked to manage the Yang family's huge family business, she would definitely be in trouble.
As a royal wife and a high-ranking princess, she didn't need to compete with Wu Meiniang for anything.
Since there is no conflict of interest between the two, it would be wise to form an alliance.
Wu Meiniang is so clever, Princess Gao Yang just gave her a little hint, and she understood it immediately.
Since the high-ranking Princess took the initiative to show her kindness, of course she would not put on any airs and immediately chuckled:
"Everything in the slave family must be obeyed by His Highness. Shouldn't we women serve our husbands well throughout our lives?"
"It's just that Mei Niang is often busy outside, and Her Royal Highness will have to worry more about the family in the future."
They are all smart people, and they established an offensive and defensive alliance in just a few words.
With Princess Gaoyang's status and the resources she controls, it may not be that easy for any girl from any family who wants to enter Yang Fan's backyard in the future.
Yang Fan was a little stunned when he saw the two women having a harmonious relationship and talking happily.
In his opinion, Princess Gaoyang is usually very proud, so why is she so talkative now?
And Wu Meiniang is even more extraordinary. This girl has a history of being ruthless and ruthless.
Although he has not experienced so many hardships in this life, after more than a year of experience, he has all the wealth in his hands, countless men have to look up to him, and his aura has become stronger and stronger.
Apart from being able to suppress her, I have never seen her be so kind to anyone.
They say people of the same sex repel each other, let alone two extremely arrogant women, how could they act so harmoniously?
Yang Fan couldn't figure it out even if he tried hard, and he was unknowingly plotted by the two women.
Once the offensive and defensive alliance is formed, it will be extremely difficult for him to go out to look for flowers and flowers in the future.
But he was too lazy to care about women's affairs. In his opinion, women all had their own little thoughts and calculations. As long as they didn't cause chaos in the family, then just let them go.
tomato
So he closed his eyes and accepted the services of the two arrogant women with peace of mind.
My heart is bubbling with beauty!
I really want to run out and yell, who else...
Seeing Wu Meiniang yawning from time to time, Princess Gaoyang said with concern: "Meiniang, you have been working too hard taking care of your husband all night. Why don't you go down and have a rest first, and I will be here to watch."
Hearing this, Wu Meiniang glared hard at Yang Fan who was snickering.
Although she had taken care of her husband all night and worked very hard, she was exhausted, but there was someone else.
Giving Yang Fan a fierce look, Wu Meiniang turned around with a blushing face and said, "Well, Your Highness is here. I will go and order the kitchen to prepare some food. Your Highness must be a little hungry after working hard all the way."
As he spoke, Liu swung his waist and walked toward the side courtyard in small steps.
As soon as Wu Meiniang walked out of the main hall, Yang Fan stretched out his arms, wrapped his arms around Princess Gaoyang's soft waist, and said with a chuckle: "Come, Your Highness, the cold wind blows all the way, I will warm you up, it's terrible if you get cold!"
"Oh, Mr. Lang is so bad. It's still broad daylight. What should I do if people see me?" Princess Gao Yang struggled for a moment, but she didn't break free. In fact, she only managed half-heartedly.
Anyway, I was taken advantage of by Yang Fan last time in the palace, and I still think about it every time at midnight, so why not give him a hug?
Pressing against her broad chest, listening to the strong heartbeat, and looking at Yang Fan's resolute face, Princess Gao Yang couldn't help but feel a little crazy.
This man is the support for her lower body...
As for Li Chengqian, because they had previously informed the guards of Junyangfang to let them go, Li Chengqian and his entourage arrived at the Yang Mansion unimpeded.
When they arrived outside the mansion, the servants wanted to go inside first to report, but Li Chengqian stopped them.
He had just been shocked by everything in Junyangfang, and he was impatient to ask Yang Fan for advice.
Because Li Chengqian was carrying a holy emperor, and Yang Fan had given instructions before, the servants certainly did not dare to stop him, so they were led in by two maids.
However, Li Chengqian and his entourage followed the maid to the door of the main hall. When they peeked in, they saw a jaw-dropping scene!
Yang Fan was leaning on the couch with a lazy expression and a comfortable look on his face. He was enjoying himself to the extreme!
Princess Gao Yang was curled up in Yang Fan's arms, looking very peaceful.
From time to time, he would pick a grape with his white hands and put it in Yang Fan's mouth. This was simply...
An insult to elegance!
Is this still the extremely arrogant Gao Yang sister he knew?
Besides, is it really okay for you, a high-ranking princess, to grovel to a stinky man?
As soon as Princess Gao Yang put a grape into Yang Fan's mouth, she felt the light dimming a little.
Her beautiful eyes glanced towards the door and saw Li Chengqian looking at them with his mouth wide open.
There were several people following behind, looking as shocked as if they had seen a ghost.
Princess Gao Yang was suddenly startled. She quickly stood up and saluted, "Gao Yang has met the prince brother."
After saying that, his eyes were a little dodgey!
"Is His Majesty Li Er coming?" Yang Fan was startled and sat up quickly.
Once His Majesty Li Er saw Princess Gaoyang being manipulated by him like a maid, would this maniac who loves women have to kill her?
Looking around, he didn't see Li Shimin, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Li Chengqian coming uninvited, and looking at the worried Princess Gaoyang, she couldn't help but complain.
His Royal Highness is too casual. Does he really think it is his own home?
Not even a notification was given.
Although I was complaining in my heart, I could only hand over my hand and said perfunctorily: "It turns out to be His Highness the Crown Prince. Please forgive me for being seriously injured and unable to get up to greet you. Please forgive me, Crown Prince."
Seeing Yang Fan open his eyes and tell lies, Li Chengqian suddenly became very angry.
Your sister, you don’t look like you’re seriously injured?
It is clear that the soft fragrance is in my arms, and I am so happy that I don’t miss Shu!
Bah, bah, bah...
Sister Gao Yang must have been deceived by this stick.
Otherwise, how could Gao Yang, who has always had eyes above her head, feed men like a cat?
Li Chengqian would rather believe that a sow can climb a tree than admit what he just saw.
Li Chengqian was in a daze and didn't speak, but someone was unhappy.
The eldest grandson rushed forward two steps and said with awe and dignity: "Zhongyihou, you really have no dignity and inferiority. Your Highness the Princess is a body of thousands of gold, with golden branches and jade leaves. How can you let her serve tea and water and put the majesty of the royal family aside?" Where."
Although the degrading behavior of Yang Fan and others just now was more serious.
But Changsun Chong didn't dare to talk about it. After all, it might affect the reputation of the royal family.
So I could only settle for the next best thing, trying to label Yang Fan as disrespectful.
However, as long as this hat is buckled, even if Yang Fan does not die, he will be sprayed to death by the censors. After all, these things are the expertise of those sprayers.
Seeing Chang Sun Chong deliberately looking for trouble with this pretty boy, Yang Fan's face suddenly darkened and he said unhappily:
"Is the eldest grandson's consort deaf? I have made it very clear just now that I am seriously injured. Your Highness the Princess is sympathetic to you, so you take good care of me. What's wrong with this? You don't want to slander me. Otherwise, I will definitely fight with you. Till death."
Yang Fan is not afraid of his own reputation. Anyway, in the eyes of most nobles, he is a fool.
But he didn't want Princess Gaoyang to be burdened with gossip about the people he cared about.
In response to Yang Fan's sophistry, Changsun Chong was so angry that he blushed and angrily yelled: "It's just a strong argument. You look so angry, how can there be any serious injury? Do you really think we are fools?"
I secretly added in my heart, just now Her Highness Princess Gaoyang’s whole body was lying in your arms. Who would believe that she was seriously injured?
In fact, it's no wonder that Changsun Chong was so angry.
Princess Changle and Princess Gaoyang are both the most beloved daughters of His Majesty Li Er, and they are both like the moon in the sky.
When he first married Princess Changle, Changsun Chong wanted to hold Princess Changle in his mouth, hold her in his hands, and lick her to the extreme.
Now he saw Yang Fan treating Princess Gaoyang like a maid, how could he not be angry.
Compare the two and make a judgment.
He had always been suppressed by Yang Fan, but now he was left behind several times when it came to women. Of course he couldn't stand it.
What's more important is that his father, Changsun Wuji, had a showdown with His Majesty Li Er a few days ago and asked His Majesty Li Er for permission to reconcile with Princess Changle.
It's equivalent to the goddess she licked before not even having any hair left.
For so many days, Changsun Chong has been feeling extremely depressed, and it would be strange if he didn't panic.
Seeing Changsun Chong's shamelessness, Yang Fan's face turned darker and darker, he picked up the teacup on the table and threw it away.
Just hearing a bang, Changsun Chong was heard wailing, covering his head.
Although there was no blood on the spot, a big bump suddenly swelled up on his forehead.
Li Chengqian didn't expect that Yang Fan would have such a violent temper and would take action whenever he disagreed. It was indeed a stick style.
But considering what this guy has done before, it's not surprising.
He could only look at Changsun Chong with pity and thought to himself, why are you messing with this lazy guy? He simply deserves a beating!
Don’t you see that even as a prince, you dare not speak?
Besides, even if Yang Fan's behavior just now was somewhat inappropriate.
But His Majesty Li Er has granted marriage. If it were not for the Tubo rebellion, the marriage between Gao Yang and the two of them would have been settled long ago.
When is it your turn as an outsider to meddle in other people's business?
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian quickly cupped his hands and said: "Ahem, Marquis Zhongyi, you have a lot of people. The eldest grandson's consort will be in trouble if he cares about me. I will apologize to you on my behalf."
These words almost made Changsun Chong angry.
Lord Yang Fan has a lot, doesn't that mean he is a villain?
But seeing Yang Fan's fierce eyes, he didn't dare to make any more noise.
Only then did Changsun Chong realize that Yang Fan dared to hit the prince with a hammer. If he really offended him, wouldn't it be unjust to beat him half to death?
A good man will not suffer the consequences before his eyes!
Junyangfang is this Bangchui's territory, so it's better not to mess with it.
Since Li Chengqian made peace and Changsun Chong didn't dare to say anything, Yang Fan certainly had to give him face.
So he stood up with a grin on his face and said: "Oh, how can I, a humble minister, bear such a great gift from His Highness the Crown Prince..."
As he spoke, he looked as if he was about to fall down, indicating that he was seriously injured and had exhausted all his strength.
Seeing Yang Fan's clumsy performance, Li Chengqian couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. His hand that threw the cup just now was so strong, how could he be a liar?
But he thought that he would have something to ask Yang Fan for later, so he quickly said:
"Without courtesy, I came here this time because of the entrustment of my father. One is to express condolences to Marquis Zhongyi for his injury, and the other is to thank Marquis Zhongyi for saving the third child's life."
Yang Fan glanced behind Li Chengqian. Although there were a few people left, they were all empty-handed.
Since I'm here to offer condolences, why don't you bring a gift?
But he said righteously and sternly: "It is the duty of a humble minister to block the arrows of His Majesty the King of Wu. How dare you make His Majesty worry about you?"
"But where is this consolation gift? Weichen lost a lot of blood. Let's see if there are several years of ginseng in the consolation gift so that we can replenish it."
Li Chengqian and his party were caught off guard by Yang Fan's turn.
The first half of the sentence is still full of emotion, which is a duty, but the second half of the sentence goes directly to the condolence gift. This is simply a naked request.
Li Chengqian was so depressed that he smiled awkwardly and said: "Ahem, the road is too slippery and it is not easy to carry. If Marquis Zhongyi really needs it, I will send it here next time."
But he cursed secretly in his heart, this bastard is so shameless, he has hairy condolences!
He rushed here in such a hurry as soon as the morning ended, so he couldn't care about these things.
Besides, the emperor didn’t say what he wanted to give!
Could it be that the emperor's golden mouth and jade teeth are not as good as some ginseng?
The emperor's concern means that his name has been hung in the emperor's heart. Isn't this ten thousand times better than some common thing?
This guy is simply a stick!
Yang Fan chuckled: "Excuse me, Your Highness, please send me a car or two when you come next time."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Does this bastard really think that thousand-year-old ginseng is radish and cabbage?
If he didn't have something to do with this guy, Li Chengqian really wouldn't want to stay any longer.
