Mei Niang raised her eyebrows and looked at him with a smile: "What's wrong with Jiro?" ”

Li Zhi squinted his eyes and gritted his teeth and said, "You yourself know what's going on!" ”

Mei Niang snorted, didn't pay attention to it anymore, and just read her own book by herself. This made Li Zhi even more angry, and he was about to snatch the scroll from her hand, but she turned around and dodged before saying, "What's wrong with you?" Mei Niang is just reading a book, why is Jiro so selfish? ”

Li Zhi squinted and gritted his teeth: "You read a book?" You sit next to me and read a book? ”

Mei Niang raised her eyebrows: "What's wrong?" ”

"No! Big inappropriate! Li Zhi slapped the table and gritted his teeth and shouted: "If you want to read, you can be elsewhere...... Come back! Before he finished speaking, he saw Mei Niang get up and want to leave, and hurriedly shouted.

Mei Niang looked back at him, but she was puzzled: "Didn't you want me to read elsewhere?" ”

Li Zhi was angry and stared at her for a long time, but he couldn't say a word. After a while, he nodded angrily and said, "Okay, good!" If you want to go, go yourself! This couch is my own! I'm on my own! Hum! ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand as if Li Xian was sprinkling, and the entire bed was sprinkled with folds.

Mei Niang sighed helplessly, shook her head, and walked back to sit down: "What does Jiro want Mei Niang?" ”

Li Zhi looked at her sideways for a while before he said aggrievedly: "You have been in the past few days, but you are not the same as before......

"What's not the same? Not like that? ”

Mei Niang was puzzled: "Zhilang, since the last time Yuan Guoshi entered the palace, you have been inappropriate everywhere...... What happened, can you say a word to Mei Niang? ”

Li Zhi was silent when he heard this, and only said lightly for a long time: "It's okay." ”

Mei Niang saw that he didn't want to say anything, and she didn't want to force it, so she nodded and said, "Okay." It's best if you have anything, but if you have something, you need to tell me. There are some things you don't have to do alone. ”

Li Zhi's heart softened, but he nodded and hummed, Mei Niang got up and wanted to leave when she saw this, but was stopped by Li Zhi again: "Where are you going?" ”

"You ...... here"

Before Mei Niang finished speaking, she saw Li Zhi lying on the couch in a hurry to clean up the folds: "It'll be fine in a while!" Just a little bit! You just sit and don't go anywhere! ”

Mei Niang frowned, looking at Li Zhi's angry and flustered appearance, she was puzzled, but she couldn't say anything, she only nodded and hummed, and stepped forward to help him clean up the couch.

Seeing this, Ming and a few people on the side who were originally smiling and waiting hurriedly stepped forward to help pack up their things.

……

After a while, Li Zhi stopped his pen, looked at Mei Niang, who was tired of reading and sleeping on the couch next to him, his eyes were filled with pity and sadness, so he reached out and took a big coat, covered it for her, and then sighed softly at her, lowered his gaze, and picked up the pen to reply.

It's just that I can't help but repeat a sentence in my heart:

I...... How long can I stay with you?

In October of the third year of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo Zampu asked for marriage.

Li Zhizhun, with the princess of the sect, was married, but Tubo did not accept it at the beginning, and asked for the princess in court.

Li Zhi was furious, and reprimanded him in court to expel and punish the rudeness. Come and make you panic, and ask for it left and right, so that you can get rid of it. Li Zhi was furious and retreated.

After the Tibetan envoy retreated from the court, he inquired about it, and then he had to tell the princess that she had died early, and the panic was extreme, so he went to Shu Li Zhi to ask for forgiveness.

……

It's night.

Taiji Palace, Lizheng Palace.

Li Zhi sat in the study of the side hall with his clothes draped, looked at the confession presented by the Tibetan envoy, and sneered: "I don't know if the princess died early? But who is it talking about?! Could it be that there is only one Yan'er who is not the princess of me?! ”

As he spoke, he slapped the fold on the table.

Qinghe on one side looked at him so angry, and couldn't help but say, "What does the Lord mean...... I want to invite the two princesses of Yiyang Xuancheng to ......"

"Yan'er is my daughter, why not the two of them? I can't bear Yan'er, can I give up them? Pinsuri treated them coldly. But that doesn't mean you can be sent out of the palace. ”

Li Zhi sighed.

Qinghe did not speak, but was silent.

After a while, Li Zhicai said: "I know, you all think that I am alienated from the two sisters because of Xiao Yuyin's matter...... Yes, I have this heart. is indeed interested in sending them out of the palace. But there is a heart to send them out of the palace to avoid them, and to marry them into the frontier as concubines, but they are two thoughts. In any case, they are my daughters, the Tang Emperor's daughters. How could it be possible to marry into the frontier and take a half-aged man as a concubine? If it were their own wishes, it would be fine. I can see ...... as I see it."

Li Zhi shook his head: "Anyway, it's not appropriate." If you really do this, others don't mention it, and the first one who doesn't want to be will definitely be Mei Niang. Not. Not. ”

Qinghe thought about it, but said: "Then the master's mind is to marry the daughter of the sect?" Now it is just right, these messengers misunderstood the Lord's thoughts, and just pushed the boat down the river, only saying that the princess died early......"

"Nonsense!"

Li Zhi was rarely angry with him, and shouted: "Fang Caizhen said those words, but you didn't listen to them at all?" I said, they are the daughters of the Tang Dynasty Emperor, and they are also my daughters, and they can't marry into the frontier as concubines no matter what! Got it? ”

Qinghe blinked, and rarely stammered: "Lord...... Lord? ”

Li Zhi sighed, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "That's it...... Isn't it me...... In this world, how can everyone be Wu Meiniang? ”

Shaking his head again, he only picked up a few paragraphs of the pen, then stamped the emperor's seal, handed it to him, and said: "Tomorrow, I will say that I am not feeling well, and I will ask my uncle to pass it on to the envoy." ”

Qinghe blinked, and didn't dare to look more, so he should claim that it was, and spread it outside the palace overnight.

……

The next afternoon.

As soon as Mei Niang got up from her lunch break, she heard His Royal Highness's attendants talking a lot, and the words seemed to be mixed with the names of the two people in Yiyang Xuancheng.

Yuru told the truth when she saw the question: "Before Tubo came to propose, the marriage made me confused, first ...... first forced the emperor to be a match, and then after being angry with the lord, he pulled out the ......"

She hesitated, and saw that Mei Niang nodded with a clear face, and she didn't see any sadness, so she said: "In short, the lord is really angry, and he replied in the middle of the night last night. He went on to say that if the emperor surrenders with the dignity of the emperor's daughter, it is a great joy to marry the two countries, then when the Ming media is marrying, Tubo Zampu welcomes the newlywed wife on the side of the border with her husband. In addition, according to the old practice of Princess Wencheng, prepare enough 100,000 cattle and sheep, 10,000 good horses, and 10,000 taels of gold and silver as a gift. Then I should be the emperor and the princess, and return to the princess Wencheng ten times the big country to marry good craftsmen and good workers, and give the princess a dowry and a wedding shrine into Tibet...... As a result, today, the Tibetan envoy went to the temple to ask for the daughter of the sect to match. It's just that the lord didn't agree, only said that if the daughter of the sect is a princess, it is rude to be worthy of Zampu, and it is a prince to be matched. ”

When Mei Niang heard this, she nodded frequently and said, "That's right." Although Tibet is a friend of our country, I can ask my country to surrender the princess at every turn, and I refuse to be my wife, isn't this an insult to my Tang Dynasty? It's time to teach them a lesson. What's more, their words were really rude to Jiro. The lesson. ”

Nodding, Mei Niang's eyes were slightly warm: "What's more...... No matter how the two children should leave the palace, they should also stay in the territory of Datang and stay within the reach of their father. ”

Yuru was silent for a long time before she said lightly: "Niangniang, don't you want the two princesses to leave?" ”

Mei Niang was quiet for a while, looked at His Royal Highness in the moonlight, and replied softly: "Over the years, every time I think of Yan'er, this palace has a burst of pain in my heart. But the more it hurts, the more I feel that those two children are really pitiful...... Yan'er went, and now there is still this palace hurting for her and thinking about her. Not to mention that her heart has always been painful, every time she dies and is born, she must be dressed plainly and silver-crowned, abstain from alcohol, meat, and fasting......

But what about these two children? All this time, no one thought of them, no one remembered them. So in the end, what did Concubine Xiao Shu leave them, and whether they were happy or unhappy when they lived like this......

I'm afraid no one can tell. ”

Yuru looked at Mei Niang and sighed, and couldn't help but say with a soft expression: "Everyone says that Niangniang is ruthless, but now that I think about it, if it weren't for knowing that Niangniang pitied these two princesses, I was afraid that the Lord would have hesitated." ”

“…… Hesitation is hesitation, Kojiro still won't send them there in the end. Because it's his daughter after all. Mei Niang lowered her eyes: "This is the biggest difference between Jiro and the first emperor - he also loves the children of his beloved woman, and he also treats the children of other women as nothing, and the first emperor really has no pity for other children, and even from his heart, he is a little disgusted with other children." And Jiro...... He is not disgusted. Because as far as he was concerned, he had never thought about other women. So he thinks he's worthy of this palace, so he won't be disgusted—"

Yuru blinked: "Niangniang means that the first emperor ......"

“…… At least for Concubine Yang Shu back then, and the abolition of Zhaorong Wei's family, the first emperor can't help but say that there is no mercy at all...... So he was a little disgusted with King Wu - the existence of King Wu was reminding him of the spiritual vacillation he had had. Mei Niang said calmly: "So between the first emperor and Jiro, who is more dedicated is unknown." ”

Yuru was silent, and then said lightly: "What does Niangniang mean...... The first emperor always wanted to convince himself that he was really only loyal to the first queen's mother? ”

“…… At least in the first emperor who came into contact with this palace, I saw such a person. Mei Niang said calmly: "Actually, such a thing is really unnecessary. People are originally married for a lifetime. But no one has ever said that in this life, there is only one person who is destined for himself. While alive, it is enough to keep one person. But if one of them leaves, leaving the other person alive, is it possible to force the other person to guard the life of the one who has left, and not be happy? ”

Shaking her head, she said lightly: "The two love each other, it is on this word Yue." If it is not pleasant, why should there be two loves? ”

Yuru had never heard such words, and she stayed for a long time before she said, "But it's ...... from ancient times."

"In ancient times, the words of three obedience and four virtues were always only spoken to women. How many men in this world have ever observed such a thing? ”

Mei Niang shook her head: "So everyone is loyal to the first emperor, and they all say that Zhilang is infatuated."

But if you try to be loyal to the emperor, after Empress Wende wende's mother went, didn't she still meet Hui'er? Hui'er is not a good match for him? He Yu Hui'er, is he really not sincere? I'm afraid but it's neither. So what really trapped the first emperor? It's just a promise. And this promise is still what he thinks he should serve the former queen.

In fact, in the eyes of this palace, it is the same kind of heart as the queen mother. She didn't necessarily want the first emperor to be so stubborn. There is something to owe in life, and there is love after death. I'm afraid that what the first queen wants more is that when the first emperor is alive, she will stay with Hui'er well, and Hui'er will accompany him through the years when she is not by his side. In this way, when the first emperor wants to go to Jiuquan, the two can be regarded as a relationship in this life, no matter what, the first emperor will no longer be concerned about Hui'er, he and the first queen mother, naturally should also join hands under Jiuquan again, repeating the front edge. And in Hui'er's still young life, there will be another person who will accompany her for the rest of her life.

Even no, the dedication of the first emperor when he was alive can also allow her to live without regrets in her life.

But a person as decisive as the first emperor is so decisive in love words. I was tired of not mentioning it, and I was even more tired of Hui'er's loneliness all her life. To put it mildly, Bengong doesn't complain about him for calculating Bengong like he did back then, and he doesn't want to make any judgments about what he does about the old things in Bengong......

In the matter of Ke Hui'er, it is really difficult for this palace to forgive him. ”

sighed again and said: "Actually, it's not just the first emperor, it's Jiro, and this palace has also thought about it - although Jiro's body seems to be weak, but according to Sun Daochang's words, it is longer than this palace." So this palace really hopes that if one day, when this palace first kills Lang, you will inform him of this palace's intentions for this palace-

In any case, Bengong didn't want him to be a pedantic man like the first emperor, and he would suffer himself, and he would also teach Bengong to worry about his stomach under Jiuquan. If after the palace leaves, he meets a good woman, and can accompany him for the rest of the road, then he should be a good companion, do not leave regrets, stay under the nine springs, when he and the palace say goodbye, he can still be carefree, with a smile on his face, which is the greatest wish of the palace. ”

Yuru's eyes were slightly red: "Niangniang, what are these words!" Niangniang's body is so healthy, how can it be! ”

"The world is unpredictable, and those who are alive today will suddenly disappear tomorrow. Over the years, this palace has been in this Taiji Palace, life and death, I have seen too much, I think back then, Suqin girl is not ......"

Mei Niang suddenly stopped, and after a long time, she shook her head and smiled: "That's it, I'm old, I'm so sentimental." That's it. If that happens, that's all you have to do is tell Jiro like this. If he doesn't listen, then you tell him that he will change places, and he will leave the palace first, and if he meets a lover in the palace again, he will do the same. So he doesn't have to feel guilty, and he doesn't have to feel bad. After all, as far as Yujiro is concerned, as far as this palace is concerned, those so-called mountain alliances and sea oaths have become a fact in this life, and we have never betrayed each other when we are here. Then it is not a wrong thing for one party to leave, and the other party can't bear the loneliness of this world, and has good company. ”

After speaking, she smiled faintly, but her face was as plain as a Buddha's solemn and charitable.
