Chapter 70: The Crown Princess's Complaint
Soon, when the emperor returned from the Eastern Capital, he heard various reports about Princess Zhongyi, some praised and some crusaded.
It was the officials of Honglu Temple who praised her, saying that she got along well with the envoys of various countries and actively assisted in the preparation of Princess Wencheng's marriage.
The crusade against her was related to the palace. For example, if you don't go back to the palace for a long time, you don't have any respect for your elders, and you never go to the palace where the prince has a prince, so that the princess comes to sue the princess. There is also a big problem of not guarding men and women, and the guards are too close, Yunyun. In short, it is not to abide by women's morals and corrupt the court.
The emperor wanted to summon Princess Zhongyi, but the eunuch replied that he was not in the palace. I sent someone to look for it again, and finally the next day the wind and rain millet came back by itself. There is a princess like her, and the emperor has to queue up if he wants to see her.
Li Shimin thought that he had to teach in person, lest there be no rules. He looked at the folds again, rubbed his brows, the prince still hasn't grown recently, and the fourth son Li Tai is the most thoughtful to him.
The gentle and considerate and noble Concubine Yang was beside him, gently rubbing his temples with her slender jade fingers. Since the death of Empress Changsun, the most intimate person around the emperor is Concubine Yang. She has gone through two dynasties, and she is used to the ups and downs in the palace for so many years.
She knew that she should never give advice to the emperor when the emperor didn't ask her, and the emperor didn't like concubines who were too good at giving people ideas. As a concubine, no matter how talented you are, it's best to honestly stuff it in your stomach, and learn to be the queen first. Recently, he was sealed as a martial artist, but he was too sharp and was refrigerated by the emperor.
Soon, Fengyu Millet was led in by the eunuch, dressed in a regular palace dress, with a bandeau and a long batch. lowered his eyebrows and greeted the emperor and Concubine Yang.
Concubine Yang raised her eyes to look at her, she looked very well-behaved, and she didn't look like the rebellious princess they said. And she is very good at hiding her aura, standing there so that people can't feel anything different from others, just two words: low-key. The color of the skirt is dull, the decoration is simple and simple, and the head is also looking down at his little hands.
Only when she looked up did she see clearly that her facial features were also beautiful and moving, but they were covered up a lot by the dull dress on her body. "What? Fengyang Pavilion didn't give you enough use? The emperor gave her a strange look.
Concubine Yang was also a little annoyed, didn't this give her a face? The rations of the harem are now in her hands, which is less than her princess's things.
"Back to my father, since my son received the "Female Rules" given by my father, I went back to study it carefully, and I really think that the first queen is a wise person. In the past, she endured hardships with her father and laid down a huge country, and her sons felt that the world was peaceful now, and there were still many Li people living in poverty, and they should be thrifty. The former queen led by example, and the retainers were afraid to wear luxurious clothes. "After saying that, I saluted my body.
Concubine Yang listened to Fengyu Xiaomi's explanation and said to the emperor: "This kid is sensible. ”
"Okay, you said you go back and study it carefully. Why don't you often return to the palace? In the past two days, how many people in the palace have come to me to sue the emperor. The emperor dropped the booklet in his hand and asked in a stern tone.
"The son knows that it is inappropriate to leave the palace without permission, so please punish his father." Wind and rain millet kneeling.
Li Shimin looked at her like that, honest and obedient, and his anger disappeared a lot.
"Where did you go yesterday?" The emperor remembered that when the crown princess came to find Concubine Yang early in the morning to ask for peace, he was angry when he sued the royal court.
"Yesterday, Erchen went to the East Palace." Wind and rain millet replied honestly.
"Then the crown princess came here crying and crying, did you provoke his husband and wife?"
"Nope." Wind and rain millet wrinkled her good-looking eyebrows and pinched the corners of her skirt. Obviously she was pushed, okay? The woman didn't know what was going on, and she insisted that she was the one who seduced the prince. Forget it, it's not as knowledgeable as her.
"Since receiving envoys from various countries, the sons and daughters have felt that they are from humble backgrounds and have read little, so they have asked the imperial brother for advice, so as not to make jokes like the last banquet guests in the Honglu Pavilion." She replied without being arrogant or humble.
Li Shimin frowned, remembering the interesting story that Qingque told him, thinking about the peacock painted by the wind and rain millet on the screen, and suddenly his face was much more pleasant. If the prince could be as knowledgeable as she was, it wouldn't give him a headache.
"You said that if you read, why don't you write a poem for your father?"
Wind and rain millet sighed in her heart, this is admitted?
"What are you still kneeling for? Don't hurry up and get flat! Concubine Yang said loudly.
She glanced up at Li Shimin, and felt that he was smiling at herself in the spring breeze, but he really seemed to regard himself as a daughter, so she had the courage to stand up. She muttered in a low voice for a while, and then spoke:
"The eagle wants to take off, and I want to see the new country. Immediately win the world, and serve the hearts of all nations. ”
Li Shimin smiled, but he didn't expect the poem to come out, and he was praising his exploits every sentence. The corners of his mouth curled up naturally.
The poems of this loyal princess do not have the slightest pretension of children in them, which is very different from the palace style poems of Lord Shangguan that are popular now. Ordinary daughters will only read some flowers, grass, resentments, lovers, etc.
"When did you do it?"
"Yes, it was the retainer who saw his father's majesty just now, and he was excited to do it."
"Okay, reward ......" Li Shimin was thinking about what to give, and the wind and rain millet took over and said:
"Father, I don't want those gold and silver vulgarities, and my sons ask that they can go to Taixue to study like men."
"There is a Guozijian in the palace, you can go to the Guozijian."
Wind and rain millet thinks that the country is a princess and princess, a rigid old man, and it is not fun at all. I originally wanted to go to Taixue to tease those foreign scholars, hey! She didn't notice that the little mouth she was pursing was in the eyes of the emperor.
"There's something to talk about."
"Erchen doesn't dare."
"Forgive your innocence, say!"
"Erchen heard that his father and emperor were gracious, and allowed all countries to send people to our court to study, that is, to enter Taixue, so Erchen wanted to enter Taixue, and while studying, he could get closer to them and understand foreign etiquette and customs, so as to promote diplomatic relations."
"Hehe, should I praise Wu'er for sharing his father's worries, or should I blame you for interfering in the harem?" Li Shimin is gracious and powerful, and see how his newly recognized daughter answers.
"My father is a generation of emperors, so he can naturally distinguish whether his sons are loyal or not. If the son-in-law has been involved in politics, please ask the father to punish him. Wind and rain millet replied cautiously. Just kidding, the life of this whole family is in her hands! If one is not careful, the emperor will think that their family has ambitions. Jing'anhou's daughter is ambitious, so can the whole family still run away?
"If you say this, I'll punish you, aren't you faint?" Li Shimin looked at her for a while, raised his hand and touched her head. "Hahaha, Xiaomi, you are confronting the monarchs and ministers in the main hall with me, come and come, don't be nervous, feel free, let my father take a good look at you."
He hugged the wind and rain millet in his lap, looked at her eyebrows carefully, and pulled the hair that was blocking her forehead. "What a beautiful embryo."
"Father is also very handsome!" Wind and rain millet eyes crooked and smiled, revealing the original playfulness.
"How old is Mi'er?" Concubine Yang asked intentionally or unintentionally beside her, her voice was soft and sweet.
"Twenty years old one."
"Ah, isn't that the same age as the prince?" Concubine Yang was shocked, she was the oldest princess in the palace, and she looked like she was seventeen or eighteen years old. Wind and rain millet is not a child, and the emperor's actions are inevitably too intimate and casual. After all, this is not his own!
