Seeing the eldest grandson Wugou and Concubine Yang frowning slightly, Yang Fan secretly sighed, Li Er really has good eyesight, these two women are truly stunning in the world.
But His Majesty Li Er only used such a woman as a decoration, which really felt like a waste of natural resources.
After pondering for a long time, Yang Fan asked: "Have you told anyone else about this?"
Changsun Wujia murmured: "I have consulted with my brother Changsun Wuji..."
From the looks of it, it was obvious that there was nothing gained.
Yang Fan thought thoughtfully: "What did Duke Zhao say?"
Changsun Wugou looked surprised: "Brother said that the only one in the world who can persuade His Majesty is you, Marquis Zhongyi!"
Yang Fan was a little dumbfounded!
Of course, it's not because of the high hat, but because I admire Changsun Wuji's insidiousness.
His high-ranking brother-in-law didn't dare to persuade His Majesty Li Er, so how could he dare to touch this lintel?
Although His Majesty Li Er seems to trust and protect himself, it is just that he is valuable.
How can one be completely at ease with a person as an emperor!
In the eyes of the emperor, everyone is just a chess piece, and the only thing that can make him completely at ease is the dead.
Since His Majesty Li Er refused to hand over the left guard to him, Yang Fan knew that Li Er had begun to guard against him!
Of course he could feel that since the defeat of Tubo, His Majesty Li Er did not trust him, but became more fearful of him.
In fact, this is understandable. With a few thousand people defeating hundreds of thousands of Tibetan troops, it would be strange for an emperor not to be afraid!
What's more, speaking out to prevent the emperor from pursuing immortality is almost like courting death.
But Yang Fan really didn't want His Majesty Li Er to fall so soon.
On the one hand, it is out of gratitude for knowing each other, and on the other hand, it is for the people of Tang Dynasty.
Nowadays, several princes are fighting openly and secretly, and the undercurrents are surging, and various forces are intertwined and complicated.
Once His Majesty Li Er is not in control, there will definitely be a bloody storm.
Because the immature Li Chengqian did not have the absolute ability and means to suppress all this.
If he wanted to risk beheading to remonstrate or even find those monks and kill them, Yang Fan did not have such a noble demeanor.
Suddenly, Yang Fan was in a dilemma.
Turning to Sun Simiao, he asked, "I wonder if Brother Sun can do something about it?"
Sun Simiao didn't like officialdom, but he couldn't ignore Yang Fan's words. After thinking for a moment, he said: "I don't know what your majesty's current physical condition is, but according to my estimation, this medicine should slowly damage the body, otherwise it will inevitably be His Majesty found out."
"Your Majesty's health should be fine for at least a year or two, but once a hidden danger breaks out, you will definitely be unable to recover."
"The most important issue now is not His Majesty's physical condition, but to let His Majesty know that the drugs he takes are harmful to the body."
"Although the current Holy Lord is a rare and famous monarch throughout the ages, there is also a disadvantage. Once His Majesty decides something, most people cannot persuade him."
"To stop His Majesty from continuing to take it, the only way is to let him know the dangers of this drug, but it is too difficult to do."
"What should we do?" Changsun Wugou and Concubine Yang suddenly panicked.
They have been in the palace all year round and can best understand the cruelty of the struggle for imperial power.
Without the protection of His Highness Li Er, even though you are a queen and a noble concubine, the end may not be easy.
Although the person in the upper position may be someone's son, if he becomes jealous at that time, the relationship between mother and son will be nothing more than a joke in front of the emperor.
What's more, there are so many aristocratic families behind it, adding fuel to the fire...
This is why the two decided to come to Yang Fan for help.
After all, Yang Fan always acts unexpectedly.
But now it seems that the Marquis obviously has scruples.
For a moment, the room fell silent.
…
The backyard of the Hou Mansion was also silent at this time.
Empress Xiao sat on the couch, looking lovingly at Xiao Shiyun who was kneeling on the ground, and asked after a long time.
"Yun'er, are you blaming your mother for her cruelty?"
"I don't dare!" Although Xiao Shiyun lowered her head, she could still hear some dissatisfaction in her tone.
The descendants of Xiao are old and mature, how could they not hear Xiao Shiyun's resentment.
But who can know the pain in her heart?
Although she is an emperor and empress, she has been homeless throughout her life and can only be used as a man's plaything.
When Yang Guang died, Xiao Cai discovered that she was pregnant again.
Facing the collapse of the Sui Dynasty building, Empress Xiao could only entrust Xiao Shiyun to a side house of the Xiao family to hide her from others.
At the beginning, the Xiao family's side house was held accountable by Li Yuan for escorting him to the Turks. The men were exiled and the women were taken into the Jiaoshifang.
So Xiao Shiyun stayed in Jiaoshifang for eighteen years.
Now that her daughter has grown up, she has ended her wandering life.
It was originally a happy day when mother and daughter reunited and cried bitterly, but now they were speechless.
Empress Xiao knew that the reason why her daughter was like this was not because she abandoned her.
Instead, he was dissatisfied with the fact that he had secretly allowed her to shoulder the task of overturning the Sui Dynasty all these years.
Looking at her pitiful and beautiful daughter, Empress Xiao no longer had the lofty ambitions she once had, but was full of love and pity. She sighed slightly and said: "The past has become a thing of the past. The empress has also thought about it now. Yun'er will live her own life in the future." You can pursue your own happiness.”
Xiao Shiyun raised her head in surprise, not expecting that Empress Xiao would change so much.
Since the Eastern Turks were destroyed, Empress Xiao returned to Chang'an City, and the philosophy instilled in her was to conquer the Sui Dynasty at all costs.
Such a heavy task rested on Xiao Shiyun's small shoulders. You can imagine how tired she was.
After so many years of hard work, Empress Xiao simply ignored it. How could Xiao Shiyun not be surprised and surprised?
Perhaps seeing Xiao Shiyun's doubts, Empress Xiao stood up slowly, walked to Xiao Shiyun and murmured to herself: "The reason why I had so much resentment at the beginning was because the ambition of Li's father and son took away our great power. Sui Dynasty."
"But now the hearts of the Tang Dynasty have returned, and there are still a few people who can remember the glory of the Sui Dynasty."
"Time is a whetstone, it can erase all uneven things, including memories in the mind."
"Now that you have such a good home, I feel relieved!"
Xiao Shiyun stared at Empress Xiao stubbornly and said, "Why does Empress Mother want to recognize Marquis Zhongyi as her godmother? Don't you want him to realize your ambition for you?"
After gently supporting Xiao Shiyun, Empress Xiao said with a smile: "Even if I have such thoughts, why not? Who made him your husband?"
"Besides, by accepting me as your godmother, do you really think that boy just wants me to be lonely?"
"Your husband is very clever. Have you ever seen him engage in loss-making business?"
"Although I have never doubted that boy's filial piety, he didn't want my old face to serve as a shield for him."
Xiao Shiyun was a little confused and asked quickly: "Mother, please give me a clear explanation?"
Could it be that Yang Fan really had other purposes for recognizing his mother as his godmother?
With Yang Fan's favor in the sky, there is no need for the queen mother to be a outdated sign.
Instructing Xiao Shiyun to sit down, Empress Xiao explained: "Although the reputation of presiding over the imperial examination is passed down to the world, there are a few people who know the risks involved. That boy just wants to use my face to scare the nobles of the previous dynasty."
"Of course, it is true that Yang Fan sincerely wants to recognize me as my godmother, and it is also true that I want to recognize him as my godson."
Hearing what Empress Xiao said, Xiao Shiyun was shocked: "Empress, what should I do?"
Seeing that her daughter had completely lost her previous calmness when she heard that Yang Fan was in trouble, Empress Xiao shook her head slightly.
From a perspective, my daughter is still too immature.
So he said worriedly: "Your husband is very smart, you should still care about yourself, right?"
Xiao Shiyun whispered softly: "My son, I am fine!"
"If Queen Mother is right, you are still in perfect condition, right?" Queen Xiao asked with a smile.
Xiao Shiyun blushed and nodded: "What does this have to do with it?"
Then he continued: "It is said that when Wu Meiniang entered the house, Lang Jun did not touch her for several months."
"My mother is not telling you, you have to fight for what you should fight for. There are many women who are eyeing your husband-in-law. Don't end up getting married early and only be the youngest." Empress Xiao suddenly laughed. She is really a stupid daughter. But let’s remind you quickly.
She has also seen Wu Mei Niang's little girl, and has some information about her. This Wu Mei Niang is not a simple person.
Not only does she have a firm control over all the affairs of the Hou Mansion, but she is also very resolute and has sophisticated methods. How can she be treated like an ordinary woman?
Even if Princess Gaoyang enters the palace in the future, she may be crushed to death by Wu Meiniang.
Although his daughter's skills cannot be compared with Wu Meiniang's, she cannot let the women behind her catch up.
Xiao Shiyun was immediately embarrassed: "What did the Queen Mother say?"
Although he grew up in Jiaoshifang, he also received specialized training.
But after all, she is a young lady, so it is really hard for her to send her to her door.
Empress Xiao obviously doesn't want to get entangled in these issues. For this reason, if her daughter can't wake up, it will be her fate!
Of course, the passionate scenes of girls don’t just happen here.
There was a small attic in Lu Guogong's mansion, with a charcoal stove burning inside, and the room was as warm as spring.
The window paper has long been removed and replaced with bright glass. The four treasures of the study are neatly arranged on the bookcase beside the window sill. A red plum is inserted diagonally in a white jade porcelain vase. The girl's boudoir is filled with a sense of fragrance. A subtle warm fragrance.
Cheng Yuzhu sat dignifiedly on the couch, holding needle and thread with her slender fingers, and concentrated on embroidering the insoles.
The candlelight reflected through the glass made the room appear brighter. The light shone on the girl's beautiful face, revealing a crystal halo, and even the fine fuzz on her skin shone, making her look beautiful.
As the only girl in the Duke's mansion, Cheng Yuzhu can be said to be the only one favored.
But since she grew up, she rarely goes out.
No matter what age, women pay attention to keeping their bodies upright and reserved and upright.
Once you show up in public, chat and laugh with men, even if you do nothing, it will make people mistakenly think that you are not a woman, and it is inevitable that your reputation will not be good.
The folk customs of the Tang Dynasty were simple and bold, but they were not unlimited.
The daughter of a commoner has no choice but to show her face in order to make a living.
Canglin is enough to know etiquette!
If you don't even have enough to eat and you still tell people that you don't want to show your face, that's nonsense.
At all times, survival comes first.
But as Lu Guogong's precious daughter, Cheng Yuzhu certainly doesn't have to run around for survival.
Ever since, female celebrities have become the best way to kill time.
It's just that although she is wearing her insoles now, she seems a little absent-minded!
After Cheng Chumo had eaten and drank at the Zhongyi Hou Mansion, the first thing he did when he returned home was of course to visit his sister whom he had not seen for a long time.
When he walked to the room, he saw his sister playing with insoles, so he joked: "Hey, my sister Zhu'er is really virtuous. I wonder who can marry our baby."
Hearing this, Cheng Yuzhu raised her head, wrinkled her beautiful nose, and blushed twice on her pretty face, and said coquettishly: "When did eldest brother come back? But what are you talking about? Zhu'er doesn't want to get married."
Cheng Chumo walked closer: "Aren't you coming to see you soon? Are these insoles for dad and us?"
Indeed, one look at the length of the insole in Cheng Yuzhu's hand showed that it was worn by a man, which inevitably made Cheng Chumo think this way.
Cheng Yuzhu's face turned red, she quickly hid the insole behind her back and said hesitantly: "This... this is not for father and brother..."
Cheng Chumo was almost a year older than Cheng Yuzhu.
As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father, Cheng Yuzhu has always grown up under the care of Cheng Chumo.
Therefore, they have the best relationship and talk very casually.
So Cheng Chumo pretended to be surprised and said: "So it's not for us, but these are obviously men's insoles. Could it be that the girl has fallen in love with someone?"
"I didn't expect that you would find your sweetheart just after being on duty for half a year, brother. This is really amazing."
"I'll talk to dad later. Why don't we invite my sister's lover to live in our house?"
No matter how smart and lively Cheng Yuzhu was, she was still in the boudoir, so she was no match for Cheng Chumo. She blushed in embarrassment and stomped her feet in disbelief.
He stepped forward to take Cheng Chumo's hand and waved it, then pushed him to a chair aside and sat down.
"Hmph, brother, go drink as soon as you come back. I will tell daddy. You sit down first and I will pour you a cup of tea."
Looking at the colorful tiger skin on the chair, Cheng Chumo praised: "This tiger skin is really good, thick and soft, and it should be hard to find such a complete one."
Cheng Yuzhu picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea, handed it to Cheng Chu and said with a silent smile: "Humph, even if you have a good eye, this is a royal item in the Tubo palace. It is said that you can't buy it for tens of thousands of guan."
"There are only a few complete tiger skins like this in the entire Tang Dynasty. Not even His Majesty, nor Father, only my little sister has one here."
"Oh, who gave this? It's so precious!" Cheng Chumo was a little surprised.
I originally thought that the furs of a few foxes I had hunted were already very valuable, but I didn’t know that someone had already given my sister a tiger skin.
However, he caught a glimpse of a white stuffed bear toy on Cheng Yuzhu's bed, and immediately thought that it should be given to his sister by Yang Fan.
Apart from that guy, Cheng Chumo really couldn't think of anyone who could send such an expensive gift!
I'm really envious. As long as it's a man, no one can refuse such a majestic tiger skin.
Cheng Yuzhu smiled shyly, feeling warm in her heart.
This precious tiger skin is said to have been given to Yang Fan by some chiefs after he conquered Tubo.
There were only five in total, two were given to Wu Meiniang and Princess Gaoyang, two were given to Xiao Shiyun and Li Xueyan, and the last one was left to her.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Not even the current His Majesty...
In Yang Fan's eyes, he is as important as his woman.
Cheng Yuzhu felt a little warm in her heart, and then a little troubled. She glanced at the mostly embroidered insole and sighed slightly.
It’s already my haircut this year, and my parents may be getting engaged to me soon, trouble!
