Chapter 478: Fate Encounters
The implication is that Li Tai is still a child, and he can't tell the good from the bad, the marriage is a major event, and it is naturally up to the parents to decide, and in a word, Li Tai will be deprived of the right to choose, and it is estimated that most parents in the world have such ideas, and as the emperor, Li Shimin is even more self-respecting, and Li Tai has no courage to refuse, if Li Shimin really appoints him a princess, no matter how dissatisfied Li Tai is in his heart, he must be happy and welcome into the house.
Fortunately, Empress Eldest Sun was more reasonable, and said with a smile: "If Qingque likes it, which lady we fall in love with, we can also think less about it." ”
is still the queen mother's confidant, Li Tai was so moved that he almost burst into tears, on the surface, he still smiled obediently: "It doesn't matter if the sons and daughters are satisfied, as long as the father and the queen mother are satisfied." ”
In later generations, if you dare to say this, you will definitely be despised by everyone, but in ancient times, this is a manifestation of sincerity and filial piety, but it is praised by everyone, and they are completely two completely different values, so there is no need to blame Li Tai, he just wants to be a filial son.
"Isn't the queen in love, the daughter of Yan Lide, the squire of the Ministry of Works, is there anything else that has changed?" Li Shimin said strangely.
When Wei Guifei and the others heard this, they immediately vented their anger, even the emperor knew about this matter, and seemed to have an attitude of approval, how could others fight, it was better to give up as soon as possible.
"The daughter of the Yan family, with a beautiful appearance, a docile personality, and a liking of calligraphy and painting, has the same interests as Qingque, if it is a pairing, it should be more compatible." Empress Eldest Sun smiled and said, "I just don't know if Qingque likes it." ”
Li Shimin said with a smile: "The queen thinks it's good, then it must be right, and later, I will personally discuss this matter with Yan Lide." ”
"Don't worry, state affairs are important, the army is about to return triumphantly, Your Majesty will first appease the meritorious ministers, and then it is not too late to prepare for this matter." Empress Eldest Sun smiled softly, naturally understanding the priorities.
"As it should be." Li Shimin smiled, and a trace of worry flashed deep in his eyes.
Hearing the conversation between the two, Wei Guifei and the others also knew that things were not easy to recover, so they didn't have much hope, so they naturally couldn't talk about disappointment, so they immediately let go of their mood and flattered themselves without leaving a trace, but they didn't show the slightest artificiality, this is the most brilliant realm.
Li Tai is also interested, sat for a while, then found an excuse, and retreated proudly in the spring breeze, until he left the inner garden and got into the carriage, the curtain fell, and his face slowly sank, and his eyebrows were locked into Sichuan characters, full of bitter looks.
Without saying anything all the way, Li Tai returned to the Yue Wang's Mansion, and did not alarm the Shenggong scholars who were drinking and feasting in the living room, and returned directly to the study of the inner house, and instructed the servants to find a few henchmen to discuss things.
Under the hint of the servant, Helan Anshi, who greeted the guests in the living room, excused himself from being too strong to drink, took a nap, came to the study for the first time, saw Li Tai's expression, and immediately knew that Li Tai's trip to the palace would definitely not go well, but he was not in a hurry to ask, and after saluting, he sat down lightly and waited for the arrival of others in silence.
After a while, everyone was together, and those who could be valued by Li Tai and accepted as a confidant and strategist must be shrewd people, and after coming in, they noticed Li Tai's abnormality, and before Li Tai did not speak, they sat down and were silent, and for a while, the study fell into a strange silence.
Alas, Li Tai let out a long sigh and took the lead in breaking the silence in the room.
Helan Anshi hurriedly said: "Your Highness has anything to worry about, you might as well speak up and let me share my worries." ”
The others echoed, Li Tai hesitated, and said softly: "I entered the palace just now, and the queen mother ......."
Understanding the reason, Helan Anshi's face changed, if this is the case, then his trip to Jingzhou, wouldn't he run away in vain, so that's it, I'm afraid that he will also make enemies of the Cen family, although with Li Tai's identity, don't worry about what the Cen family can do with him, but the help that was originally considered a good one may become a hindrance, isn't it self-defeating.
However, among Li Tai's henchmen, not all of them were of the same heart and mind as Helan Anshi, and he groaned, and someone smiled and said: "Actually, Your Highness doesn't have to worry, the Yan family has been noble for generations since the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the mother of Yan Lide, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, is the princess of Qingdu, the daughter of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the family of nobles, and Yan Shilang himself is talented, and he is deeply respected by His Majesty, and he is entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and it is only a matter of time before he wants to take over the post of the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and it is not a matter of time before he marries him." ”
"Moreover, the two brothers of the Yan family are both talented people, famous all over the world, and they have always had contacts with the magnates of various families in Guanlong, and the marriage of His Royal Highness to them is also a great help." Someone next to him agreed: "Her daughter, gentle and virtuous, inherits her family education, is proficient in calligraphy and painting, and has extraordinary talents, and she can barely match His Royal Highness." ”
Li Tai frowned slightly, obviously not very much with the statement of the two, after all, he himself is a member of the Guanlong magnates, and he has always had contacts with the magnates of various families, and he does not need the Yan family to add icing on the cake, but the Cen family is different, he is the representative of the Jingzhou Shi clan, and the Zhongshu Shilang Cen text is also deeply valued by Li Shimin, and he may become the prime minister in the future, which is even more worthy of being wooed.
However, this kind of deep-seated meaning can only be understood, not spoken, after all, at this moment, Li Tai, fledgling, will definitely not show his heart, only Helan Anshi, who understands a little bit, naturally stood up and argued: "The daughter of the Yan family, although her talent is extraordinary, as the princess of Yue, she has the conditions to be more than just proficient in calligraphy and painting......
Li Tai didn't express his opinion, just listened to the debate of a few henchmen, his eyes were gloomy, as if he was thinking about something.
At the same time, the protagonist of their discussion, Yan Wan'er, the daughter of Yan Lide, a waiter in the Ministry of Works, was a guest at Han Rui's house, looking at Zheng Naoyu, who was round and bulging in her lower abdomen, full of maternal love, Yan Wan'er sat next to her, her clear eyes, with a little shyness and curiosity, stretched out her tender white little hand, and whispered: "Sister Zheng, is it really possible." ”
"What's not to do." Zheng Naoyue smiled softly, directly picked up Yan Wan'er's tender little white hand, and gently placed it on her lower abdomen, her pretty face was full of holy brilliance.
The tentacles were soft and smooth, warm and mellow, and they were beating from time to time, Yan Wan'er's little face was flushed, her eyes flashed with excitement, and she whispered softly: "Sister Zheng, is this uncomfortable?" ”
"It's a little bit, but I'm used to it." Zheng Naoyo said with a smile: "My daughter's family, sooner or later, I will have to go through this kind of thing, and it won't be long before Wan'er will do the same." ”
A touch of blush was rendered on her little face, Yan Wan'er lowered her head, as if she was as shy as a water lotus, and retorted softly: "No." ”
"Wan'er, lying is not a good boy, but I heard that Wan'er is going to become a princess." Zheng Naoyo said with a smile, she has always regarded Yan Wan'er as the best sister, and naturally hopes that she will have a good home.
"Princess......" Yan Wan'er raised her head, there was not much joy on her face, the corners of her soft mouth twitched slightly, she gave a smile, and said softly: "There is nothing at all, and I don't know where the rumors are spreading." ”
Yan Wan'er doesn't want to be a princess, but hopes to find someone she likes and likes like herself like Zheng Naoyuo, but as the daughter of a nobleman, Yan Wan'er naturally knows what a rare luxury such an idea is, that is, Zheng Naoyuo, who has been promised to the Lu family since he was a child, and later had an accident, met Han Rui, and several twists and turns achieved a happy marriage.
This is accidental, but also lucky, there is no possibility of repeating at all, Yan Wan'er was helpless in her heart, and she once thought that if she was not from a noble family, she might be able to choose marriage freely, but after understanding the situation of the people, she found that her thoughts were just wishful thinking.
Ordinary people's homes, marrying daughters-in-law, there are not so many rules, after negotiating, there is no need to meet at all, just get married, unlike famous and powerful people, at least through various channels, you can understand what kind of temperament your future husband is, and it can be guaranteed that even if you marry in the past, you will not suffer anything.
After all, the marriage of the aristocracy pays attention to the right family, the relationship between the husband and wife is weak, and the power of the mother's family supports it, and the husband's family does not dare to slack off, but becoming a princess is not necessarily, concubine, concubine, a word Na speaks for itself, Yan Wan'er's smart eyes reveal a little gloom.
Zheng Naoyue noticed it and was slightly stunned, but he also understood Yan Wan'er's mentality, but there was nothing he could do, he could only take Yan Wan'er's little hand and be silent, this is the fate of a woman, if she can't resist, or if she doesn't have the courage to resist, then she has to obediently accept the mercy of fate.
Touching his lower abdomen with his slender hand, Zheng Nao was glad that he had been blessed by the gods and achieved a heavenly marriage, and said with a little pity: "Wan'er, in fact, His Royal Highness King Yue ......"
"Sister Zheng, don't talk about this?" Yan Wan'er's tone was a little pleading.
Smiling, Zheng Nao was obedient, and said softly: "Have you made any progress in painting recently, I haven't been writing for more than half a year, I'm afraid it's not as good as you." ”
"What's the matter, a few days ago, I drew a picture of autumn wind and falling leaves, but I was belittled by my father very ......low," Yan Wan'er smiled, it seemed that she had let go, but who would have expected her daughter's family's thoughts.
After being in the Han family for a long time, until the sun was in the west and the sky was twilight, Yan Wan'er said goodbye, and hurriedly stopped Zheng Nao, who got up to send him off, rarely showed a little naughty smile, his little hands gently pulled the sides of his clothes, rolled up a slight fragrant wind, and hurriedly ran towards the courtyard gate.
In a trance, a wall suddenly appeared at the door, Yan Wan'er was frightened, and Lianbu stopped suddenly, but she couldn't castrate at all, but instead staggered, and her slender body rushed straight towards the shadow of the wall. After preparing the psychology of collision and bruising, Yan Wan'er's weak eyes were already dazzled, and her face was discolored, and she was pitiful.
It was too late, it was too fast, and at the moment when Yan Wan'er pounced, the shadow of the wall moved, and she subconsciously opened her arms and hugged the beauty in her arms.
Half a sound, the imaginary pain did not strike, Yan Wan'er, who was still a little confused, quietly opened her clear eyes, and suddenly found herself crouched in the arms of others, strong and powerful arms, hugging herself tightly, her body was warm, very safe and comfortable, as if she was ......
