Growing up in the palace, Concubine Yang had a deep understanding of the dirty and dark side of the palace.
Throughout the dynasties, it was not uncommon for mothers and daughters to serve the same husband together.
Therefore, she wholeheartedly agreed with Empress Dowager Xiao's proposal to His Majesty Li Er to marry Princess Changle.
In her opinion, Princess Changle not only has a good reputation, but she is also the eldest princess. There are many benefits to marrying her.
Nowadays, Yang Fan has countless enemies. If he can marry Princess Changle, it will not be a good thing. At least he will have an extra layer of protection.
Of course Yang Fan knew what Concubine Yang meant, but he didn't say anything.
In his opinion, even though he promised his eldest grandson Wugou not to care about this matter anymore, judging from His Majesty Li Er's temper, he would definitely not go back on his word.
Because this guy takes reputation too seriously!
Now that he has promised Empress Dowager Xiao and rumors have spread, it is useless even if Changsun Wugou objects.
Of course, it was impossible for Yang Fan to say such words. He just smiled and said: "Okay, let Wu Gu handle this matter by himself. As for the outcome, it is not our responsibility to worry about it. Get up quickly and be careful Godmother later." We will still be in bed when we come back."
Concubine Yang hugged Yang Fan tightly and refused to get up. She murmured: "Huh, I'm not afraid. The queen mother is too partial. She recognized you as her son and even plotted against my daughter. It's really an advantage for you."
"The days are long, I still have things to do today." Yang Fan smiled bitterly.
He suddenly realized that this woman was so clingy, no different from a little girl.
Concubine Yang withdrew and hummed, "Huh, you said the same thing last time. In the end, you didn't come to me for several months. You are so cruel!"
Yang Fan smiled brightly: "It won't happen this time. Otherwise, when I go to Jiangnan after the New Year, you can also apply to His Majesty to go back to Jiangdu to pay homage to the Sui Emperor. Then I can stop by Jiangnan to have fun..."
Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty died in Jiangdu. If Concubine Yang used this reason to leave Chang'an, it would be a good excuse.
When the time comes, Yang Fan will find someone to pretend and take Concubine Yang over secretly, and no one will doubt her.
Hearing this, Concubine Yang's eyes lit up, and she shouted excitedly like a child: "Is it really okay? Don't leave me alone then."
"As a gentleman says, a horse is hard to catch!" Yang Fan hugged Concubine Yang's soft body and nodded affirmatively.
Although most men are animals who think with their lower bodies, and Yang Fan is more possessive than affectionate towards Concubine Yang.
But it is undeniable that from now on, the former princess is his woman.
Of course, Yang Fan would not cheat on his woman.
While the two were working together, a servant came to report that Wu Meiniang had something to discuss with Yang Fan.
After getting dressed, Yang Fan walked out of the side yard in a hurry, and happened to meet Wu Meimei who was a little anxious.
As soon as she saw Yang Fan, Wu Meiniang frowned and kept complaining with her beautiful, cherry-like little mouth:
"Mr. Lang, I don't know what you are thinking. You are blatantly staying the night. You are not afraid of His Majesty's suspicion. Although everyone in the courtyard is our servant, it is inevitable that people will talk too much."
"Fortunately, I found out earlier and sent all the servants out of the house. What if I hadn't?"
"Besides, it's so early in the morning. You guys are fussing so loudly. If you attract other people's attention, will our family still be alive?"
Wu Meiniang was filled with resentment for Yang Fan's behavior during the day.
In fact, it is no wonder that as long as people live in this era, there is no one who is not afraid of the emperor.
Yang Fan was just about to marry someone else's daughter here, and he was sleeping with someone else's daughter-in-law over there. If the emperor found out, it would be easy to confiscate the family and exterminate the family.
Originally, the entire Yang Mansion was prospering, and Yang Fan had a bright future.
If something happens because of a woman's sudden torment, will you die if you don't regret it?
Yang Fan smiled awkwardly, hugged Wu Meiniang, and said shamelessly: "Isn't there Meiniang? Otherwise, how could the husband dare to be so relieved?"
"However, I did drink too much last night and I can't remember anything. Now that the matter has come to this, it can only be like this. You go
Haosheng told his servants and maids to keep their mouths tight and be careful in what they do and say in the future, so as not to let the news slip. "
"It's wrong for you to let Mei Niang worry about your husband's troubles. This is why we, Yang Fan, can't live without Mei Niang."
Seeing Wu Meiniang's anxious face, Yang Fan felt really distressed.
This delicate woman not only has to manage Nuo Da's family business, but also arranges for his marriage and wipes his butt. She is indeed a bit intolerant of others.
With Yang Fan holding her slender waist, Wu Meiniang's heart almost melted as she listened to these thoughtful words.
In this era, even the most timid and cowardly men have to maintain the concept of male superiority and female inferiority.
Yang Fan puts women on the same level from the bottom of his heart. He is a unique man!
Wu Meiniang was at the age when a girl was pregnant with spring, so she couldn't stand such thoughtful words of love, and her whole body suddenly felt soft.
The trace of sadness in her heart was instantly swept away. This feeling of being needed was something she had never felt before.
If it were the male master of another house, he might have scolded the woman for meddling in her own business.
Wu Meiniang stared at Yang Fan with a pair of watery eyes, and gently pressed Yang Fan's lips with her slender jade fingers like spring green onions, and said softly: "You have such a mouth, you are really coaxing people to death without giving up their lives. No wonder even the current queen is... You succeeded in deceiving me, and from now on I don’t know how many famous ladies will be ruined by your words.”
Yang Fan frowned, feeling that these words were somewhat familiar. It seems that Concubine Yang also said it!
So he chuckled and said in a low voice, shamelessly: "I don't know whether others will be ruined or not by my mouth. I only know that my wife is the one who can't stand my mouth the most."
"Oh! Lang Jun, what are you talking about? You are talking so openly. How could you say such a thing..."
Wu Meiniang's heart trembled when she heard this, and she quickly stretched out her jade hand to cover Yang Fan's mouth, her fair and pretty face already covered with red clouds.
He looked at Yang Fan in anger and said in a trembling voice, "Lang Jun is really evil. He dares to say such shameful words without fear of being heard..."
With one hand, he slapped Yang Fan's chest, and with the other hand, he used the two-finger Zen technique.
Seeing Wu Meiniang's shy look, Yang Fan chuckled and hugged her tighter.
Women in this era are just good, and they can be convinced by just a few words of coaxing. Yang Fan likes this era more and more.
The two joked for a while, and Yang Fan asked: "Meiniang didn't just come to me to talk about her romantic affair, right?"
"Of course not. Meiniang has something serious to do here. It's all because of Lang Jun's interruption." Wu Meiniang also gradually calmed down and complained.
If Yang Fan hadn't asked, he would have almost forgotten the real thing.
"Oh, let's talk while walking!"
With that said, Yang Fan took Wu Meiniang and walked towards the main hall.
When she came to the main hall and sat down, Wu Meiniang also told her the purpose of her visit.
It turned out that a messenger from the imperial court came to inform that His Majesty Li Er's marriage decree was about to be issued, so Yang Fan was asked to prepare.
Yang Fan was stunned for a moment and asked, "How come His Majesty's imperial edict was issued so quickly? Does the Queen know about it?"
"My husband worked so hard yesterday, but the Queen hasn't gotten up yet." Wu Meiniang looked at Yang Fan angrily, and said with a half-smile:
"You are so cheap to me, husband. Now you are in love with me. You have another charming and beautiful girl. My husband has a new love. Don't forget about me in the future."
A trace of joy flashed in Yang Fan's eyes, and he quickly assured: "Meiniang is our darling. If I forget myself, I can't forget Mei Niang."
Although Princess Changle is very charming and charming, she fits Yang Fan's aesthetic point of view very well.
But in terms of help to family and career, Wu Meiniang's help to Yang Fan is definitely better.
Of course, this does not mean that Princess Changle's status as a princess is useless.
At least it's quite bluffing if you use it to pull a tiger's skin to raise a banner.
After all, she is the eldest princess, no one dares to look down upon her.
What's more, the two princesses are getting married this time.
It is said that this is the first time to continue E'e's concubine.
You must know that Yang Fan is just a county official.
However, Yang Fan was a little confused. Yesterday, Changsun Wugu said that he wanted to dissuade the emperor from granting a marriage. Could it be that he was too busy and forgot about it?
But what Yang Fan didn't know was that of course Changsun Wugou had not forgotten it, but the people he sent were stopped by Empress Dowager Xiao.
This is also the reason why Empress Dowager Xiao went to Chang'an again, just to let His Majesty Li Er issue the order as soon as possible.
It can be said that Jiang is indeed very old and spicy, and Queen Mother Xiao's skills are impeccable.
Seeing her husband's effervescent beauty, Wu Meiniang felt that Yang Fan was too bad.
This husband always likes to play something different.
Whether it was the Wu sisters or the mother and daughter of the current eldest grandson Wugao, as long as it was this kind of tone, the husband seemed to be particularly excited.
It seems like this guy really thinks of himself as an emperor and has no scruples about anything he does.
Of course, as long as Yang Fan likes it, Wu Meiniang will stand by his side without hesitation.
In her opinion, only Yang Fan understood her best in the world. She would rather be hurt than see Yang Fan unhappy at all.
Time soon came to noon, and the old eunuch Wang Huangui came to Junyangfang with a group of servants.
As soon as he saw Yang Fan, Wang Huangui said: "Congratulations, sir, congratulations, sir, my servant is here to bother you again."
"My father-in-law, you are so polite. You have worked hard all the way. Let's take a rest inside!" Yang Fan has been in the officialdom for so long, and he is very familiar with greetings.
What's more, the old eunuch is considered an acquaintance, so there is no need to be so outspoken.
As expected, the imperial edict brought by Wang Huangui was not only that His Majesty Li Er marry Princess Changle together, but also confirmed the wedding date.
On November 28, the twelfth year of Zhenguan, Yang Fan was about to end his two-life single life.
In the next month or so, Yang Fan was extremely busy, but he was really excited inside.
Marriage not only represents a responsibility, but also represents that Yang Fan has grown up.
People often say that when a long drought brings nectar, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, the night of flowers and candles in the wedding room, and the inscription on the gold medal, these are the four great joys in life.
Getting married for the first time in two lives was of course full of yearning and novelty, and Yang Fan also paid special attention to it.
Getting married in ancient times was actually very complicated, not to mention two princesses getting married at the same time.
The "Book of Rites" and "Etiquette. Wedding" have stipulated six rituals for concluding a marriage: nacai (the ritual of nacai), asking for the name (asking for the girl's name and divination), naji (the divination results in auspiciousness, and the complex These are necessary links: informing the bride's family), collecting taxes (paying betrothal coins), requesting the date (choosing an auspicious day for the wedding, informing the bride's family), and welcoming the bride in person (the son-in-law goes to the daughter's family to welcome the bride).
Weddings in the Tang Dynasty naturally inherited the six etiquettes of everyone before them, but the rich and poor had different dignity, and the ostentation was complicated and simple, but there were changes.
For a noble family like Yang Mansion, the procedures are extremely cumbersome. If it weren't for Empress Dowager Xiao presiding over it and Wu Meiniang cooperating, it wouldn't have been possible to complete it in such a short time.
Time soon came to November 28, the twelfth year of Zhenguan. Today is auspicious, suitable for getting married, leveling the land, and welcoming good luck...
After several months of preparation, everything about the wedding has been taken care of.
When a princess gets married, there are certain rules and regulations that must not be neglected. After all, this is about the emperor's face.
On November 28th, the ugly season had just arrived and the sky was still pitch black.
However, both the Yang Mansion and the Imperial Palace were in a state of celebration. The orange red lights stretched for more than ten kilometers, letting the people of the entire Chang'an City know that Yang Fan, a great benevolent man and a great hero, was about to get married.
Moreover, the targets were the two noble princesses. Some people who liked to watch the excitement even stayed up all night and stood on the street waiting to watch this grand ceremony, as if the night could no longer stop people's interest.
Although the curfew in Chang'an City is usually strictly enforced, it will be canceled for three consecutive days starting tonight, which provides the people watching the excitement with the opportunity to move freely.
At this time, the imperial city was brightly lit.
One by one bright red
The palace lanterns were hung high, and the bright lights enveloped the entire imperial city in an orange-red halo, adding a bit of joy to the solemnity.
In the palace of Changsun Wugou, there was a lot of laughter and laughter, and it seemed very lively.
Since the two princesses were getting married together, it was certainly impossible to place the wedding venue in a certain princess's palace.
Therefore, it is most appropriate to prepare together in Riseshengden.
As His Majesty Li Er's two most popular princesses got married, of course the princesses, consorts and princes in the capital came to congratulate them.
A group of princesses and princes came to Princess Gaoyang's palace. The princes and princes were chatting outside, but the ladies were sitting together, laughing and dressing up.
No matter whether it is pleasing to the eye or not, at this time, I will let go of my prejudices and show a warm scene of sisterly love in front of outsiders.
Princess Yongjia sat diagonally in front of Princess Gaoyang's couch, gently stroking her black hair with a comb. There was a young woman's charm in her movements.
She was wearing a simple and elegant light blue palace dress today. Her figure was graceful, beautiful and elegant. Such a plump figure always made people feel inexplicably seductive.
Looking at Princess Gaoyang and Princess Changle sitting in front of the dressing table, their two small, flower-like faces looked even more beautiful under the light makeup.
Even if a fairy from heaven comes down to earth, she will feel ashamed compared with the two women.
Seeing that her two nieces were about to marry the same person, she felt a little distressed and a little pity, so she said softly: "You girls are really stupid. We are princesses who are above us, and we are the royal family members with noble stomachs and golden branches. We are actually getting married at the same time." One person, the emperor, is too disrespectful to you."
"Well, we women have the most miserable life. Many times we have no choice but to make the decision. Our life is simply too miserable."
"But men are different. They are eating from the bowl and looking at the pot. It is not enough for Yang Fan to marry Gao Yang. He actually wants beauty. It is simply ridiculous. This guy has three wives and four concubines. He really thinks that we are the princess of the Li family. It’s just Chinese cabbage, it’s really annoying!”
The more Princess Yongjia talked, the angrier she became, and in the end she gritted her teeth. If you didn’t know better, you might have thought that jealousy had broken out!
Hearing this, Princess Gao raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Auntie, please don't let Dou's consort hear this, otherwise you will be heartbroken if you find out that your beloved wife, whom you regard as a treasure, treats men like this."
Princess Yongjia married Dou Fengjie, but this guy couldn't hold Princess Yongjia at all and was very henpecked.
Therefore, Dou Fengjie always held Princess Yongjia in the palm of his hand and let her go, not wanting to say a harsh word.
But the falling flowers are intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless.
Princess Yongjia didn't like Dou Fengjie at all. She only regarded their marriage as a political deal and called this guy a coward every day.
With no other choice, Dou Fengjie could only apply to the emperor to guard the border. The two had not seen each other for a few times throughout the year, and the marriage was in name only.
Therefore, many people tease Princess Yongjia about Dou Fengjie's infatuation.
Princess Yongjia's face was slightly red, she glared at Princess Gaoyang with some embarrassment, and retorted: "As long as someone doesn't like me, who cares whether he will be heartless? But you, girl, it doesn't matter if you make fun of me now, wait until we get married. I'm afraid you will suffer later! The one in your family has a really bad temper and can only hit people with his fists. You jumped into the fire pit yourself, but you dragged the beauty down too. Don't come to your aunt to cry when the time comes. "
"Ouch, I think you are jealous, aunt. Don't worry, sister Changle and I will come to visit aunt more in the future." Princess Gaoyang was very sharp-tongued and of course she did not dare to show weakness.
Besides, Yang Fan was his favorite fiancé, how could he be discredited by anyone, not even his own aunt.
The slight smile at the corner of his mouth and the two dimples on his face all reveal the sweetness in his heart and his expectations for the future.
Princess Linchuan on the side heard the conversation between the two and said angrily: "I also agree with what my aunt said. I really don't know what my father thinks about why beauty married such a tough guy. Our beauty is gentle, kind, virtuous, talented and beautiful." If you have both, your life is ruined!"
her
The Prince Consort is Zhou Daowu.
After Zhou Daowu and Yang Fan returned from conquering Tibet, they became General Zuowuwei based on their merits.
Although Zhou Daowu did not dare to offend Yang Fan again, his relationship with Yang Fan was not good after all.
After she came back, she was assigned to guard the capital in shifts. She did not return home for a whole year. The young couple lived separately. Princess Linchuan inevitably had resentment towards Yang Fan in her heart.
For a moment, there was a bit of silence in the bedroom.
Yang Fan is indeed a free-spirited person, but the more such a person is, the more people will avoid him. Who is willing to provoke him?
Princess Qinghe just sat quietly on the side, with a slight smile on her beautiful face, turning a deaf ear.
Her consort is Cheng Huailiang. As Cheng Chumo's sister-in-law and Cheng Yaojin's daughter-in-law, her heart is naturally towards Yang Fan...
But she couldn't prove the rebuttal. After all, it was a big day, and if there was a quarrel, it would be inappropriate.
But Princess Gaoyang didn't dare to say so much. She raised the corner of her mouth and waited for a retort.
In her opinion, it is unacceptable for anyone to speak ill of Yang Fan.
