"But...... If you haven't opened it, the rest may not be all that ......."

The slave was silent, because Wang Shanrou had already closed her eyes.

After a long time, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at the slave:

"When was the first painting?"

The slave hurriedly took a pair from a small attendant beside him and handed it to Wang Shanrou: "It's this pair." ”

Wang Shanrou slowly opened it, but on it was a woman in plain clothes and butterflies fluttering in flowers-

Just like the pile of pictures on the table, it was a woman.

The payment was made, but it was the first month of the twelfth year of Zhenguan.

Shanrou held the scroll tightly, as if holding her heart tightly in her hand.

After a long time, she silently handed over to the slave and said:

"You don't have to check it anymore, everything is as before, put it away. Remember, don't tell Your Highness to come back and see something. ”

The slave was amazed:

"Mother...... mother?"

Shanrou smiled indifferently:

"Hongu has known one thing for a long time, and it is known from Hongu's father - every man will have such a woman in his heart, which no one can replace......

Hongu has no intention and no need to replace her......

Because Hongu has no intention of being the person in His Royal Highness the Prince's heart - since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't want to be friendly with Hongu, then there is no need to be friendly......"

Wang Shanrou smiled faintly, took a step forward, and a kind of firmness appeared in front of her:

"As long as this palace does a good job as the princess of the Tang Dynasty, it is enough to become the queen of the Tang Dynasty in the future-

Again...... Now that you know that she is so destined to only know His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but not to stay together......"

Wang Shanrou turned her head and smiled lightly at the pile of paintings:

"Then she's to Hongu...... Not only is it not harmful, but on the contrary, it is very helpful! ”

A faint smile appeared on Duanli's gentle face.

The slave was stunned.

October 20 of the 19th year of Zhenguan.

Taizong's body was poisonous, and the prince Li Zhinai helped the car to follow, for several days, there were countless blood blisters on the soles of his feet, and Taizong heard it and felt good.

……

October 22, 19th year of Zhenguan.

Eastern Capital.

Luoyang.

Fong Wah Court.

The night is like ice.

Mei Niang got up in her clothes, sat by the window, looked at the cold stars in the sky, and silently calculated the days in her heart.

On the side, Xu Hui, who was distributing bed clothes, also slowly got up, gently supported her shoulders, handed her a cup of tea and said to her:

"Counting the days again?"

Mei Niang shook her head, and said after a long time:

"Count it up, Your Majesty, they should also come back."

Xu Hui nodded and said:

"But in the future, Mei Niang, when there are many people, I'm afraid that you will rarely see Your Highness."

Mei Niang was stunned and looked at Xu Hui.

Xu Hui sighed softly and stroked her shoulder:

"Mei Niang, our women's family, after all, is not good at hiding our hearts. If you can't hide it, then you'll be seen by others......

Mei Niang, this is a very hard road......

Even...... Even we don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, or yourself, will have the patience and be willing to wait for so long......

Mei Niang...... Have you really thought it through? ”

Mei Niang looked at her, but smiled:

"When it didn't work out, you persuaded me every day, but now you're hesitating?"

Xu Hui shook his head and said after a long time:

"At that time, I just felt that you were like this in the palace, but you were not as good as ......"

She shook her head: "It's that I didn't think it through." ”

Mei Niang smiled: "Don't worry, I know what to do." ”

The two sisters looked at each other.

……

Five days later.

Taizong drove back to Luoyang, and the crown prince Li Zhi urgently summoned Sun Simiao to enter for diagnosis and treatment.

It's night.

Hyunin Palace.

In the temple.

Li Zhi changed half of his robe and stopped:

"You said Mei Niang didn't want to meet?"

Turning his head, he looked at Dean.

Dean hesitated, but finally nodded:

"Yes, Sister Wu said, I'm afraid that I can see less in the future, and it's better to meet less...... After all, it's not as good as it used to be...... I'm afraid that between words and moods, there will eventually be losses. ”

Li Zhi gritted his teeth: It's not that he doesn't know, Mei Niang is right to think like this......

But......

How could he endure it?

Just as he was about to speak again, he heard De'an say:

"Your Highness, Yinu said, Sister Wu thinks like this, but it's not very wrong...... After all, in the future, Sister Wu will still have to wait in the Shang study. That's right under the nose of the Lord......

Your Highness, don't forget, the Lord is ......"

Li Zhi was silent, but silently took off the half-worn new robe, and ordered De'an to take the robe instead. Then he asked:

"What kind of letter is there in the East Palace?"

Dean nodded and said softly:

As His Royal Highness expected, after the crown princess got the words from Liu Zhaoxun, she immediately dived into the main hall at night and turned out all those paintings......

But strangely, she didn't look angry...... It's really hard to figure out her mind. ”

"What's so strange?" Li Zhi smiled coldly, looked at the robe and put it on, then sat down in front of the mirror, and Ren Dean removed the crown hairpin for him, and then said:

"She's not a stupid woman - for her, the glory of the Wang family, the throne of the crown princess, and the phoenix throne of the Tang Dynasty......

That's what she cares about.

With only 600 portraits, she really can't be forced to do anything inappropriate. ”

Li Zhi said lightly: "I didn't want to force her to do anything, but I just let her know that in my heart, there has never been her, and there will be no more her." ”

Dean was stunned for a moment, and then said, "But like this...... But ......"

"Dean, do you know what kind of people are the most terrifying?"

Li Zhi said softly.

Dean thought for a moment and shook his head.

Li Zhidao: "It's not a strategizing hero like my father, nor a strategist like an uncle in the city, but a woman with a stubborn heart."

Only a woman with a persistent heart can endure and endure until the time she needs, with everything.

The crown princess is such a woman - think about it, what woman in this world can tolerate her husband to snub her like this?

She endured.

Why forbearance?

There are only two situations, one is that she doesn't care if I care about her or not, but who she belongs to. The other is that she really loves me so much that she can endure everything for me......

But it seems to me that she may have been in love with me, but not in the most undesirable place......

Therefore, her forbearance is only for one thing. ”

Dean understood:

"The back of the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Zhi smiled coldly: "Yes...... Datang posterior! ”

October 17, 19th year of Zhenguan.

Taizong's illness recovered slightly, and it was the grace of Fanghuayuan to open the East Palace for the crown prince Li Zhiju. He also ordered the chamberlain to welcome the prince and concubines into the East Palace.

When the ministers heard this, they all thought that the prince was very filial and diligent in governing the country, and they played more, and asked Taizong to allow Li Zhi to treat him with internal and external courtesy.

Taizong promised in his mouth, but he was reluctant to give up after all.

The concubines did not see the prince for a long time, and they were ecstatic when they heard it.

On November 15 of the 19th year of Zhenguan, the prince Donggong was completed.

At the end of November of the nineteenth year of Zhenguan, the concubines of the East Palace were able to enter the East Palace of Fanghuayuan in Luoyang.

At the beginning of December of the 19th year of Zhenguan.

Li Zhinai met with the concubines, and even decreed that the concubines live as follows:

The crown princess Wang's family, living in Mingde Academy.

Liang Di Xiao's family, living in Liufang Temple.

Liangyuan Zheng's family, living in Yongle Temple.

Chenghui Yang's, Ju Lijing Temple.

Zhaoxun Liu, living in Feiying Academy.

After all the things were done, the crown prince Li Zhi took all the concubines and servants and brought their children into the house to thank Taizong's grace.

Taizong was overjoyed to see his grandsons, and he especially loved his eldest grandson Li Zhong, and he brought him into his arms and took care of him. The concubines were worried in their hearts.

Everything is stable, Taizong said to the prince Li Zhidao:

"My son is now a father, although my father doesn't want my son to grow away from his side, but when my son is gone, my grandchildren are even more lonely. From today onwards, the child can be in the heart of the emperor for one day, and in the East Palace for one day, to comfort the hearts of the grandchildren. ”

Li Zhi was obeyed, and because he liked Liangdi Xiao in his heart, every ten days, there were always seven or eight days to stay at Xiao Liangdi's place, and the remaining one or two days, always because of various things, the concubines complained.

When Taizong heard this, he privately told Li Zhidao:

"Those who govern the country should govern the family, and they should not be like this."

Li Zhi was also reprimanded, and from now on, the rain and dew will be evenly distributed in the four courtyards of Liufang, Yongle, Lijing, and Feiying. Only the crown princess Mingde is in the courtyard, and she does not often enter it.

The crown princess is calm and doesn't say much, but the palace people around her are quite unfair, and they resent Xiao Liangdi, the most favored owner of Fangyuan.

Xiao Liangdi also resented the crown princess - for no other reason, but she knew from Zheng Liangyuan of Yongle Yuan that the reason why Taizong warned the crown prince to divide the favor equally was because the palace people around the crown princess Wang were secretly merciful.

Liangdi thought secretly, if there is no master's will, how can the cheap slave act in vain? He resented the crown princess even more. So there are a lot of secret hands and feet, and they often want to secretly stumble when the prince governs the Xingmingde Academy.

None of that.

Xiao was resentful and even more suspicious, so he secretly investigated it.

December 17, 19th year of Zhenguan.

Luoyang.

Fong Wah Court.

In the main hall of the temple of the temple.

Xiao Liangdi, who was dressed beautifully, slowly drank the tea soup, listening to the screams of women from the apse, and her expression was indifferent.

A moment later, the close attendant Yufeng hurried over:

"The hosts. Asked out. ”

"Which house?"

Xiao Liangdi didn't raise her head, only let the beads shake and cover the peach blossom face.

Yufeng took a step forward and said softly:

"That, but it's from Lijing Temple."

Xiao Liangdi frowned slightly:

"Reijing-in?"

"Exactly, listening to the cheap maid, Yang Chenghui of Lijing Academy, speaking of which, it turns out that he also has a lot of connections with the Mingde Academy-this Yang Chenghui's father is the old concubine who was demoted to Jieyu back then, and the cousin of Yang's Yuwan.

His Majesty issued an edict back then, and Yang Chenghui's father was originally not allowed to enter the court again. But because of the help of the Taiyuan Wang family, he was forgiven by His Majesty, became an idle official, and even sent his daughter up......

That's why, this Yang Chenghui, but listening to the words of the crown princess! ”

Xiao Liangdi sneered:

"What happened before, the palace felt strange, that Liu Zhaoxun received the reward of the palace, how could such a small matter reach the ears of the Wang family so quickly......

It turns out that this slut is working in the back! ”

Yufeng gritted her teeth and said:

"I think we were good to her at the beginning...... Master, are we going to clean up this Yang family? ”

"Don't be in a hurry, and keep her, maybe it will be useful in the future...... By the way, which house is Your Highness in today? ”

Yufeng hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mingde Academy." ”

Xiao Liangdi gritted her teeth: "No...... We can't go on like this...... Yufeng, what you did before, can you do it? ”

Yufeng nodded: "It's done." ”

While taking out a piece of paper from his arms and handing it to Xiao Liangdi:

"This is the prescription that comes from outside the palace - the master only needs to take one dose before His Highness is lucky, and within three hours after the luck, another dose will be taken to get a man in one fell swoop."
