91 091: The princess is hard to marry (4)
Princess Yongchang's heart is very wide, after she left her father's palace of eternal life, she didn't think about what her father would think when she heard her rebellious words comparing her mother to Empress Lu, she just thought about leaving the palace and going to the princess's mansion in Taiping.
Therefore, as soon as Li Chen returned to Fengyang Pavilion, he asked Yang Zhiganlu and others to quickly pack up their things and prepare the princess's honor guard, she was going to leave the palace.
Yang Zhi was stunned: "It's been less than an hour since the palace door was closed." ”
Li Chen said: "It's okay, it's too late, hurry up and clean up, as long as you leave the palace before the palace gate closes." ”
When Yang Zhi heard the words of his princess, he hurriedly asked Zhang Huan, Ganlu and others to help Zhang Luo get out of the palace. The princess never worries about these trivial matters, so she doesn't know how many things she has to do when she leaves the palace, and in less than an hour, the palace women in the Fengyang Pavilion are on their backs, chickens and dogs jumping, and finally get out of the palace in a moment before the palace gate closes.
Li Chen sat in the carriage, she was bored sitting alone, so she simply called Shu Zhi in. Shu Zhi was born in a secret guard, or was personally trained by her father, her vision and knowledge are not bad, and Shu Zhi's way of thinking is very different from that of ordinary female officials, and there are many small anecdotes, of course, there are also a lot of small gossip.
"We are now passing through the East Market, and on the west side of the East Market, is Pingkang Fang."
"Pingkangfang?" Li Chen was stunned.
Shu Zhi looked at Li Chen, "The princess has heard of Pingkangfang?" ”
Li Chenxiu's eyebrows raised slightly, and the expression on his face was a little joking, "Of course I've heard of Pingkangfang, and Ming Chongyan was killed in Pingkangfang." I heard that the ladies who live in it are all famous flowers in Chang'an City. Ming Chongyan was quietly killed in Pingkangfang, which shows that he often messes around in Pingkangfang. "It's so messy that people can feel his itinerary clearly, and then kill him with one blow, and take his life, it's called a clean one, and there is no end left.
Shu Zhi seemed to have long been accustomed to Li Chen's amazing words, so she didn't move her eyebrows.
Li Chen raised his hand to lift the curtain of the car and looked out, the sun will set, as soon as it gets dark, there will be a night ban in Chang'an City, and 38 vertical and horizontal main roads will be forbidden to move, so pedestrians are in a hurry, and they have to go home. But rushing home didn't prevent them from looking back at the princess's guard of honor.
At this time, Li Chen's guard of honor happened to pass by the East Market, and he heard that next to the west side of the East Market was Pingkangfang, but unfortunately Li Chen didn't see it.
Li Chen lowered the curtain of the car a little boredly, and muttered, "I really want to go to Pingkangfang to see what kind of good place it is." ”
In fact, Pingkangfang is not a very good place, in the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court did not have a ban on officials prostitution, so in Pingkangfang, you can often see the officials of the imperial court. And at this time, the folk customs are relatively open, and many famous prostitutes are very talented, chanting poems against each other, and the red sleeves are not too romantic.
Ever since Li Chen had Zhang Huanhuan and Shu Zhi by his side, he had heard a lot of gossip outside the palace.
In these years, the scholars who came to Chang'an to take the imperial examination also liked to go to Pingkangfang, saying that it was to see the world, and if anyone did not go, no one had ever praised him for being a humble gentleman, and he would be ridiculed.
In the eyes of most officials and scholars who participated in the imperial examination, going to Pingkangfang was not only a fashion, but also a pursuit.
Li Chen came from the later generations, and he heard a lot about the set of talented and beautiful women, so he was naturally curious. Before she became a princess, she lived in a civilized era, and she could go wherever she wanted, and she never had any scruples. Later, when she became a princess, she was trapped in the court for many years, and her curiosity about the outside world was many times stronger than ordinary people. Now that I am out of the palace, I have long been a bird in my heart, and I can't wait to fly as far as I can, how high and how high I fly.
Shu Zhi was choked by Li Chen's words, silently raised her eyes to look at the little princess who was about to move in front of her, and decided to save her life without saying much.
When she arrived at Princess Taiping's mansion, Taiping heard that Li Chen wanted to go to Pingkangfang, so he glanced at her, "Don't think that there are no rules in the palace here, what kind of place is Pingkangfang, you are a princess, what are you going to do in those places?" Don't even think about it. ”
Li Chen, who was reprimanded by Sister A, touched his nose and did not say a word.
Taiping will enter the palace every month, but every time she enters the palace, she will not stay for a few more days, after all, now she has come out and has her own princess's mansion. Moreover, the newlywed Yan'er, she has had a very good relationship with Xue Shao since she was a child, and now Xue Shao has a princess as his wife, the so-called concubine should be a time when she will not feel annoyed no matter how tired she is. Li Chen felt that Sister Ah didn't think she was a light bulb with a super wattage, so she was very satisfied.
Li Chen leaned on the collapse, and said a little listlessly: "Sure enough, it was the water spilled by the married daughter, and Sister Ah surrendered, and she was so fierce to her own sister." ”
Taiping: "......"
Li Chen said again: "What does it matter if you go to Pingkangfang? I have Shu Ye and Shu Zhi, except for them, no one knows that I am a princess. Nowadays, there are many little ladies dressed up in men's clothes on the street, so what's wrong with me going out? is to be recognized, I will be killed and will not admit it, and I will sue them for slandering the princess, I see who dares to demolish me. ”
Princess Taiping was stunned by her own sister's rogue behavior, obviously she didn't expect that after only a few months of separation, her sister had already learned such a bullying method.
After a long time, Taiping frowned and said, "Okay, don't talk nonsense." ”
Li Chen looked at his sister and asked, "Sister, haven't you thought about going to see it?" ”
Taiping: "......"
Li Chen said again: "The third brother and the fourth brother must have been to Pingkangfang in private, but they didn't let us know. Not...... I think Cousin Xue Shao must have been there too. ”
Taiping frowned and glared at Li Chen.
Li Chen's expression was very innocent: "If you don't believe it, you go and ask him." Li Chen felt that whether it was in the later generations or in the current Tang Dynasty, it was too unnecessary to care about the past of the people next to him. In Chang'an City, if there are nobles, it is rare for the family to not match a few personal maids to their own Xiaolangjun, like Li Jingye is a rare thing, and Li Chen feels that the rare things in the entire Chang'an City are also Li Jingye's family, and there is no semicolon.
Xue Shao, who has been very good since he was a child, is able to chant poetry against him, is good at shooting and riding, is a young and romantic talent, and often has fun with a group of noble children, so it's strange that he hasn't been to Pingkangfang.
Taiping was not angry, "Shut up, don't come to provoke the feelings between me and the donkey." ”
Li Chen smiled, "If Sister A and Cousin Xue Shao's feelings can be provoked, wouldn't it be too sorry for Sister A's true feelings for her cousin?" ”
To be honest, as a favored princess, Li Chen feels very lucky, but if he is a princess's concubine, it is really unlucky.
The horse lives in the princess's mansion and says that it is the princess's husband, but whether it is to see the princess or anything, it is necessary to report it layer by layer, and the princess must light a lantern before entering the room when she has sex with the princess. When other men marry their wives and go home, their wives will serve tea to their in-laws and settle their lives in the morning and dusk. But the princess is still on the horse, and the high hall in the house is the princess's courtier, and if you want to turn it upside down, it is the parents of the horse who want to salute the princess.
The princess chooses a concubine, she must choose a good one, and a good one is not a noble family or a family, and none of these people want to have a princess go back to the house. The prince is mainly reasonable, so it's good to say, if he is rude and willful, he is overbearing in the house, and makes his family have no peace, as a courtier, he can only endure it, otherwise what should he do? Can you still leave the princess with her life?
Before Xue Shao was still Taiping, his eldest brother was also troubled by Taiping's good background and the princess favored by the current saint and Her Royal Highness the Empress, and even told the patriarch of the Xue clan about it.
This is not the first time that the Xue family has returned to Princess Shang, what can the patriarch say? But everyone heard that Her Royal Highness the Queen thought that Xue Shao's two sisters-in-law were from too poor backgrounds, and wanted Xue Shao's two brothers to divorce their wives. But the patriarch had no choice, so he had to comfort the Xue family brothers and said, your mother is a princess, and you are the son of a princess, which is destined for your family to marry a saint in the future. In the eyes of others, the saint descended the princess to the Xue family, which is also the emperor's grace, and when the princess enters the door in the future, you will all be respectful and polite to the princess, and probably there will not be many incidents.
Taiping had also heard about this a long time ago, so after the surrender, she and Xue Shao had been living in the princess's mansion and rarely went back to the Xue family. Even if you go back, what you do is a family gift, not a national gift.
Since Xue Shao became Princess Taiping, the two have a harmonious relationship and envy others, not only Xue Shao's concessions, but also Taiping's painstaking efforts. Li Chen felt that Xue Shao had a great baby, and there were very few daughters of the heavenly family like Sister Taiping, who was born noble but was willing to accommodate her husband's family.
Even Aunt Chengyang in the past rarely returned to Xue Mansion, as for Aunt Chengyang's family etiquette, Li Chen didn't know, but she knew that since she was sensible, during the Spring Festival, whenever it was the second day of the Lunar New Year, Aunt Chengyang would take a few cousins to the palace to live for a while, and she never worried about Xue Zong's family affairs.
Taiping glared at Li Chen a little angrily, and said, "Ming Chongyan was killed in Pingkangfang for no reason, even if you are curious, you can't run to play at this time." ”
Li Chen: "Neither Dali Temple nor the Criminal Department can find the perpetrator, everyone says that Chongyan was killed by ghosts, and I am not like him who can communicate with ghosts and gods to provoke ghosts, what are you afraid of?" ”
Taiping righteously refused: "Whether you are afraid or not, in short, it will not work!" ”
Li Chen looked at Taiping very sadly.
Taiping pursed his lips, "It's not okay to pretend to be wronged." ”
Li Chen was even more complaining, pursing his red lips, and his sparkling eyes stared at Taiping.
Taiping: "......"
The sisters stared at each other with big eyes, and for a long time, the peace was gone.
So the two of them each made a step, Li Chen didn't go to Pingkangfang in the East City, but went to Xiaoxiangfang in the West City, it is said that this Xiaoxiangfang is much more high-end than Pingkangfang.
I heard that on the night when Princess Yongchang arrived at Princess Taiping's mansion, Princess Taiping's room was still lit with lanterns, which shows that this kind of sisterhood will not affect the status of the horse in Princess Taiping's heart. However, the concubine who shared the room with the princess that day was stumbling by the princess's question before going to bed, and almost fell into trouble.
Princess Taiping asked, "Don Ma, did you know anyone you knew in Pingkangfang in the past?" ”
Xue Shao: "......" ()
