Half an hour later.

Li Zhi walked all the way and looked around blankly, passing the left side of the Guangtian Palace.

The lights and candles were clear, and in a hazy way, he saw that in front of a temple in front of him, there was a soft woman dressed in pomegranate-colored clothes and a delicate little maid, and he was stunned. After blinking vigorously, his heart moved and he stopped.

When Dean saw him like this, he was also surprised, and looked there. But when he saw the woman, he was also stunned:

World...... How can there be such a woman with such a god-like back?!

"Temple...... Your Highness ......"

Dean stuttered a little—he recognized who the man was, but ......

Li Zhi ignored him, just looked at the figure stupidly, staggered away from his support, and shook off Qinghe Minghe who came forward to help, and he only walked slowly towards the woman step by step, step by step.

……

Prince Zhaoxun, Liu Yunruo, who is sixteen years old, stood beside Yu Wenyan, who was twelve years old and a close attendant who held the palace lamp, and looked at the gate of the inner square for a long time, and then said:

"That's weird......

Is this the case? Why don't you see anyone coming? ”

"Sister Zhaoxun, could it be that we heard it wrong? Maybe it's tomorrow morning? ”

Yu Wenyan said.

Liu Yunruo thought for a while, shook his head and said:

"No...... No, that's exactly what I'm talking about. ”

After hesitating, she finally said:

"Let's wait! That is the father-in-law in His Majesty's palace, and he will never be blinded to us again. ”

Yuwen Yan was quiet, so she stood according to her words, but when she suddenly heard someone approaching, she was startled, hurriedly turned around, and asked who was in a sharp voice?

Liu Yunruo was also taken aback, and hurriedly turned around with Yu Wenyan. So, I saw the man......

The vermilion prince is dressed in court clothes, with a golden crown and hosta, a jade face that is slightly pink, and black hair and sideburns are beaded......

Isn't it the husband who lost his mind for a moment in front of her during the day - the crown prince, Li Zhi?

Liu Yunruo's face turned red, so he hurriedly lowered his head, crossed his hands and saluted:

"I've seen it...... Your Highness ......"

When Li Zhi heard this, his heart jumped, and he stepped forward in surprise, helped her up with both hands, and stroked her face, looking at her stupidly.

Liu Yunruo only felt that her heart was beating like a drum - the slender fingers covering her cheeks were as warm as jade, but they made her face hot for a while.

Looking at the starry eyes in front of him, Liu Yunruo lost his mind for a while.

“…… It's you...... It's really your ......."

Li Zhi looked at her through his drunken and hazy eyes, and the pain in his heart was like a thorn in his heart:

"It's really you...... There you are......

It's really coming......"

Yun Ruo was a little stunned—for some reason, she felt that the handsome and noble young man in front of her, such an idiotic gaze, fell on her face......

But it's more like looking at a far, far away place.

And......

She seemed to realize that the ......

I'm afraid it's a place she can't go to at all......

There was a slight pain in her heart, and before she had time to think about the cause of this pain, she moistened her eyes slightly, and said softly:

"Yes...... I'm coming. Your Highness, I'm here. ”

Li Zhi heard this somewhat familiar voice, and it was like being struck by lightning. De'an, who finally followed next to him, was even more shocked, and then his eyes turned red.

And Li Zhi couldn't hold back his tears, whimpered softly, and finally hugged Liu Yunruo into his arms, buried his head in her neck, and whimpered:

"You're here...... There you are......

You've come to see me after all......

You have me in your heart after all......"

……

That night, in the Cheng'en Hall of the East Palace, the crown princess Wang Shanrou heard the report of pity for the slaves, and when the Taoist prince Li Zhi had already traveled to the Guangtian Palace and the inner square, he was suddenly confused by Liu Yunruo, the Zhaoxun of Yiqiu Palace, and actually abandoned his wife and was fortunate to be a concubine on the night of the crown princess's canonization.

When Wang Shanrou heard this, she was so angry and angry that she went into the dormitory, retreated from the crowd, and wept secretly with the two slaves and servants until dawn.

Next.

Tai Chi Palace.

Anren Temple.

The noble concubine Wei Jue, who was dressing up, suddenly saw Shangyi Xiao in her palace, and quickly entered, and said:

"Where have you been?

Why is it so pale? ”

Xiao Shi looked left and right, Wei Guifei understood, and all the servants retreated, before turning around, looking at her and saying:

"What's wrong?"

"Niangniang, there was something in the East Palace last night."

When Wei Guifei heard this, she sighed and said:

"This palace has said that this palace does not want to be involved in these things anymore."

"Mother, the slave knows that you don't want to be in danger again...... But Niangniang, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been established, we always have to show favor or two......

Otherwise, I'm afraid that in the future, the sins created by Venizi back then will still affect us one or two?

Niangniang, it's good not to think about yourself, but for His Royal Highness King Ji! ”

When Wei Guifei heard this, she bowed her head and said silently, and said after a long time:

"Say it."

"Niangniang, last night His Majesty was crowned the crown princess of the East Palace, and His Royal Highness the Prince personally sealed the concubine of the East Palace, but it was very lively. Especially Your Majesty, you have a lot of rewards for the crown princess Wang.

That's why many people are thinking about it, but I'm afraid that the crown princess is very pleased with His Majesty.

But ...... Niangniang, last night, on the happy day of the crown princess's first seal, His Royal Highness the prince went to have a small Zhaoxun! ”

When Wei Guifei heard this, she was stunned:

"What's going on? According to the etiquette system, it should be the first fortunate wife, and then the side room? ”

"Isn't it? The strangest thing is that His Majesty knew about this, but he didn't get angry, and he also taught the inner chamberlain Wang Gonggong to go to advise the Wang family early in the morning, and the prince of Dao has been tired recently, so he has this trip......

I also taught her to be more tolerant! ”

Wei Guifei groaned slightly, and then said:

"This palace remembers that Liu Zhaoxun's father is just a five-grade official, why does His Majesty love her so much and defend her everywhere?"

The slave maid also felt strange, so she went to find someone and asked about Liu Zhaoxun...... Only then did I know, Niangniang, the reason why Liu Zhaoxun was able to rob the princess last night was precisely because of the arrangement of Ming'an's father-in-law in the Ganlu Palace!

Niangniang, you said, this Ming'an father-in-law is the apprentice of the prince next to His Majesty, and that is the real henchman of His Majesty! I'm afraid that he has won His Majesty's wishes!

Moreover, I heard that Later, His Majesty also misused the word "Zhenggong" when the prince and princess mentioned the crown princess, and he made a big fuss! The prince was almost punished. ”

Wei Guifei sneered: "No wonder Your Majesty doesn't like her...... Even the Lizheng Hall of the East Palace has not yet lived, so I think about the Lizheng Hall in the main palace......

I don't want to think about it, the queen's sister did live in the East Palace but claimed to be the main palace - but that was because the Emperor Taishang was still there, and His Majesty could not return to the right position, so he was able to claim to be in the main palace.

That's a great honor, and it's been rewarded by the Emperor and His Majesty!

She, Wang Shanrou, a concubine of the East Palace who had just been entitled, hadn't sat on the hot seat yet!

Do you want to call yourself the main palace?

No wonder everyone in the palace said that if she hadn't been born in the Taiyuan royal family, she was the former nobleman on the clan tree, and the marriage recommended by the eldest princess herself, His Majesty would never have allowed her ...... again."

"Isn't it?

His Majesty doesn't like her, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't like her even more. According to the slave maid, after this Wang family, I am afraid that there will be no stable life. ”

Wei Guifei shook her head and was silent for a long time, and then said:

"What you said is wrong, just now the palace said, as the daughter of the Taiyuan Wang family, she is a dignitary on the clan genealogy, and a big family of the Guanlong family. Even our Wei clan has to meet three points of love! How much more is it Your Majesty, who has always treated all the tribes with courtesy?

That's why His Majesty didn't like it anymore, and he wanted to approve this marriage. To put it mildly, this marriage is clearly due to His Majesty's filial piety to the eldest princess, but in fact, it is ......

I'm afraid it's because she is a daughter of the Wang family and has a deep foundation, so she has to accept it. ”

Xiao Shangyi nodded and said, "Niangniang's analysis is reasonable...... But Niangniang, the slave said that the Wang family is afraid that there is no good life, but there are some reasons.

Niangniang knows that yesterday His Majesty gave 300 women, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only took four women? ”

"That childish slave has been an indifferent child since he was a child, not like his uncompetitive fifth brother, what's so strange about this?"

"Niangniang, if you follow the nature of His Royal Highness the Prince, this is not strange.

But when the slave maid went to the line yesterday, met with these four women, registered their names, and edicted their names (these are Shangyi's duties), they found one thing. ”

Xiao smiled mysteriously.

Wei Guifei looked at her smile: "What's the matter?" ”

"Niangniang, do you still remember the martial artists who have been grounded in the Yanjia Palace?"

In front of Wei Guifei's eyes, a stunning face immediately appeared, and she sighed:

"Such a rare man......

But when you see it, it's hard to forget......

What's more, it's the main palace that owes her grace?

What, she has something to do with this? ”

Xiao Shi didn't answer, only smiled and took the name book of the four daughters from his sleeve, opened the first portrait of Zheng Chu'er, a good lady, and said:

"Niangniang, this good lady Zheng is very good at dancing...... Look at her little statue, dressed in a pomegranate-colored dance dress and a golden crown......

Such a demeanor and such a dance, Niangniang, don't you think, quite familiar? ”

Wei Guifei was stunned, then took the famous book and looked at it twice, and then looked at Xiao.

Xiao Shi opened the second book with a smile, and the famous calligraphy and painting of Yang Mingzhu of Chenghui said:

"Niangniang, this Chenghui Yang family is quite famous for its literary history...... I heard that at that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince read the three words of Xiwen and History in this book, and only then summoned her to come forward to inquire. And because she answered quite fluently, he thought of making her a good lady as well-

If it weren't for the father-in-law of Na De'an reminding this woman that she was related to Yang Yuwan, I was afraid that Taizong would not like it, but I was afraid that the East Palace would be two good ladies at this moment. ”

Wei Guifei took the famous book, looked at the woman holding the scroll and smiled, and was slightly shocked.

…… Yes, she was familiar with such a demeanor.

Xiao Shi saw her like this, but he stepped forward with the famous book of Cui Miaorong and said:

"And this woman...... Niangniang, you see, who does this girl look like when she plays chess? ”

Wei Guifei looked at the face in the portrait that was calmly holding chess, and her eyes were complicated.

"Finally...... Niangniang, this is the Liu Zhaoxun who robbed the crown princess last night...... Mother, look at ......."

When Xiao handed the last portrait to Wei Guifei, Wei Guifei only looked at it twice, then stood up in surprise and closed the famous book with a snap. He walked back and forth in the temple twice before he opened it again and looked at it carefully.

The more she looked, the more frightened she became, and the more she watched, the more terrifying she became.

After a long time, he sighed:

"Alas......"

Xiao Shi Nai said:

"Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Prince's heart, you must have seen it, right?"

Wei Guifei turned to look at her, her eyes were complicated:

"What do these things have to do with us?"

"Niangniang, do you still remember that before the slave maid entered the Qin Palace, before she entered the Qin Palace, although she was the daughter of the Lanling Xiao family, she was quite favored by the main room, and she could often enter the Xiao Mansion as a guest?"

Wei Guifei was stunned for a moment, and then said, "So what?" ”

"Niangniang, in the main room of Xiao Mansion, there is a girl named Yuyin, who is fourteen years old this year...... Niangniang, this is the small statue of Xiao's female Yuyin, how about you take a look? ”

Xiao Shi said as he unfolded a small portrait more than a foot long and asked Wei Guifei to take a look.

When Wei Guifei saw it, she was shocked:

"This ...... Although it only scored five points...... But it is...... But it seems to be enough...... That man ......"

She turned her head and looked at Xiao Shi with a complicated gaze.

After a long time, she slowly turned around and sighed: "The mother's family in this palace has always been close to the Xiao family, and the young slave has such a mind, so she should be recommended for it......

Presumably, this Xiao Yuyin will think about this in the future, and be grateful to us. ”

Xiao Shi replied with a smile: "That's exactly what I said." ”

……

April 14, 17th year of Zhenguan.

Anren Palace's concubine Wei suddenly had a statement, saying that his mother's family friend Lanling Xiao has a female name called Yuyin, fourteen years old, rich and beautiful, intelligent, suitable for the East Palace five concubines still lack a good Di a product, can be the East Palace.

Taizong was very happy when he heard this, but because Prince Gu was indifferent, he only wanted to treat the prince.

Wei Guifei sent the daughter to the East Palace with the Xiao family to meet the prince.

When the prince first heard about it, he didn't like it, and he didn't want to see it.

However, in the end, because the emperor's order could not be violated, he saw it.

At first sight, he was shocked, and he held his hand even more, sighing:

"This is how it is true for the world to be fruitful...... The palace thinks a little comfort, and should thank your mother and concubine. ”

At the moment, he was named Liangdi and given to live in Yichun Palace, which was fortunate at night.

If it is by the end of April, the crown prince has been fortunate in the East Palace Zhaoxun Liu, Liangdi Xiao, Liangyuan Zheng, Chenghui Yang, but unfortunately the crown princess Wang.

For a while, rumors spread in the palace.

The Wang family complained endlessly, and his father Wang Renyou even joined the eldest princess to go to Taizong, slightly stabbing him.

Taizong was helpless and summoned the prince into the Taiji Hall to hear about it.

The prince said: "Just because the sons and daughters have never had a way to get along with women since they were children, I am afraid that they will be lucky, and because of ignorance and hurt the relationship between husband and wife, they will get along with the concubines more to be harmonious."

Today, I felt that it was an auspicious day, and I was about to go to the Cheng'en Palace, and my father and emperor ordered his ministers to come.

But it alarmed Lord Wang and his aunt and grandmother Lao to ask, it really shouldn't be. ”

Blame and cry, and want to punish himself.

When Taizong heard this, he was quite compassionate, kissed the jade steps, took the prince in his arms, comforted him in every way, and immediately passed on the edict of Wang De, and politely reprimanded Wang Renyou and the eldest princess of Tong'an for acting inappropriately this time, and actually got involved in palace affairs, which was quite a relative to bully the master.

When Wang Renyou and the eldest princess of Tong'an heard this, they knew that they had made a big mistake, and they were shocked to play.

Until the death of the two, they never heard of the secret of Li Zhiwang's boudoir.

At three o'clock on the night of April 30 in the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, the crown prince Li Zhi finally blessed the crown princess Wang. When Yin, the prince left the palace and entered the court, please Taizong quasi-daytime can lead the master to accompany him, and serve His Royal Highness Taiji, but there must be three or five hours to see Taizong's dragon face, you can comfort filial piety.

And there is even more in the table that the queen mother has gone, and the only one who has the father and the emperor is a moment, and it is also worth a thousand touching words.

Taizong saw his filial piety, wept, and showed his ministers.

When the ministers heard this, they loved the prince even more. Taizong is the edict, the crown prince Li Zhi, as the prince of the country, equal to the emperor, and filial piety, pitiful and lovely, still returned to the old residence in the manna hall on the same day.

The ministers were shocked and resisted one after another, the prince already has a family, if he wants to return to the former residence of the Ganlu Palace, wouldn't he also need to bring all the concubines of the East Palace into the main palace?

This move has chaotic courtesies inside and outside the monarch and ministers, and the system of fathers and sons is humane.

The crown prince Li Zhi also thought that it was impossible, but wept to Taizong and the ministers:

"My father took pity on him and was very fortunate. However, after all, it violates the system, which is inappropriate.

However, the father and son love each other, and it is difficult to exterminate themselves, but they can seek to keep their father every half a day, and they don't ask for more. ”

When the ministers heard that Li Zhiren was filial piety and love, and the virtue of etiquette and system, they were moved to tears, but Taizong blindly insisted on it, but Li Zhi was not allowed to leave his knees for a moment.

For a while, the monarch and the ministers had a dispute, and Taizong even because the ministers did not allow the father and son to get together every day, and under the pain, he was on the dragon throne, holding Li Zhi on his knees, and crying bitterly.

Seeing this, the ministers were sad and even more difficult, for a while, in the Taiji Palace, they were either resourceful, or they dared to admonish outspokenly, or in the name of brave and powerful enemies, there were three hundred and sixty virtuous ministers in the sea, but no one had a plan to appease Li Shimin, the son of the Tang Dynasty who cried bitterly.

Later, after all, Li Ji played, and the love between father and son has come to this point, which is rare through the ages, but the husband and wife are also very affectionate, and they are also courteous, after all, they are in a dilemma.

If it is not a half-month period, the prince can be alone in the first half of the month, enter the old bed of the Ganlu Palace, and accompany Taizong to comfort his filial piety.

In the second half of the month, you can return to the East Palace, and the concubines and concubines will talk about the love of husband and wife.

Taizong was overjoyed when he heard this, and all the ministers thought it was feasible.

Then Li Zhi, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, became the first person in the ages.

Later, because the prince was filial to his father, and he pitied his younger sister Jinyang had no one to teach, he repeatedly forgot about the half-moon period, and often lived in the Ganlu Hall to serve Taizong's food, clothing, and sleep, and even forgot to return to the East Palace for many months. He often served in Taizong and left and right, fed the decoction and diet to the young sister, honored his father, and loved the young sister's trip, and everyone in the palace sighed.

When the ministers and the people of the world heard it, they sighed that the prince of the Tang Dynasty was so filial, which was really a blessing for the Tang Dynasty.
