Chapter 34: Mrs. Rongguo
Early in the morning, Tang Garden.
After Li Hong finished practicing the knife, he returned the knife into the sheath, just like Sun Simiao, who supervised his knife practice on the side, and asked, "Teacher, do you see that Lone's knife skills have improved in the past few days?" β
The sword is a symbol of the king!
The knife is the weapon of the hegemon!
When Li Hong decided to practice swords instead of practicing swords, Sun Simiao knew that the prince was unwilling to be a king, and seemed to have the intention of expanding the territory, and when he first observed Li Hong practicing boxing, he vaguely saw the overlord spirit hidden in the prince's heart, so he passed on the "Nine Styles of Horizontal Knife" to Li Hong, which was very sweeping the momentum of thousands of troops. Now seeing Li Hong open his mouth to ask him, Sun Simiao opened his mouth and said, "Your Highness's ability to comprehend the sword technique is rare in the world, so that the old man is also surprised and careful, and now the old man has taught all the nine horizontal knife styles to His Highness, what kind of achievements His Highness can achieve in the future can only depend on your perseverance!" β
When Li Hong heard Sun Simiao say this, he knew that from today onwards, Sun Simiao would no longer supervise his knife practice, and he would devote all his energy to revising, supplementing, and standardizing medical works, so he said regretfully, "Thank you teacher for teaching him for many days." β
After another pause, he continued, "Teacher, today Gu is going to go to Taixue with Zhang Cambodia and Li Qiao to Guozijian to select the professionals needed by the teacher to revise, supplement and standardize medical works, I wonder if the teacher wants to go with him?" β
"It's inconvenient for the old man to come forward in this regard, so I'm not going to participate." Sun Simiao thought for a while and said, and saw Yan Zhuang hurriedly walking into the Tang Garden, he knew that Li Hong had something to do, so he said, "If Your Highness has nothing to do, the old man will leave first!" β
"Teacher, walk slowly!" Li Hong bowed and watched Sun Simiao leave Tangyuan, and then he asked in a deep voice to Yan Zhuang, who was already impatient beside him, "What's wrong?" β
Yan Zhuang hurriedly spoke, "Your Highness, Mrs. Rongguo is here, and she is waiting for you in the Chongjiao Palace!" β
Yang?
Li Hong was slightly surprised when he heard that the Yang family had come to the East Palace to see him in person, "Is she the only one who comes?" β
Yan Zhuang nodded slightly and said, "She is alone, and she wants to see Your Highness by name." β
Li Hong snorted coldly, "It seems that Helan Minzhi's weight in her heart is not light!" For the sake of Helan Minzhi, Lone's grandmother actually came to the East Palace regardless of her identity, wanting to threaten Lone-"
Li Hong guessed that last night the Yang family estimated that Wu Er was dead, and suspected that she might have arrested Wu Er because of the tax problems in the east and west cities, so she came to the East Palace early in the morning, first, to find out her own tone, and secondly, to warn herself verbally by the way.
"Don't worry about her, since she is so anxious to see Lone, let her wait a little longer!" Li Hong said lightly.
It is true that the Yang family is the mother of the Empress Wu, it is his maternal grandmother, but he is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, because of the Empress Wu's interference in politics, although his current situation is very delicate, it is not yet to the point of being bullied by the Yang family, let alone for the sake of a Li Hong who is very disgusted with Helan Minzhi.
"This..."Yan Zhuang didn't know about the adultery between the Yang family and Helan Minzhi, unlike Li Hong, who hated the Yang family like Li Hong, so he just wanted to persuade Li Hong, but it can be seen that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw that his gaze was a little cold, so he immediately closed his mouth with interest.
Li Hong also ignored Yan Zhuang anymore, and walked out of Tangyuan to the dormitory of Cheng'en Palace.
The prince can not go to see Mrs. Rongguo's Yang, but as the prince's family order in the prince's East Palace, Yan Zhuang can't snub the Yang family, so when Li Hong's figure disappeared in Tangyuan, he immediately came to the Chongjiao Palace, ready to say more good things about the prince to the Yang family. It's just that as soon as he arrived at the door of the Chongjiao Palace, before he stepped into the threshold of the Chongjiao Palace, he heard Yang's displeased voice from inside, "What? The prince thinks that he has grown up and his wings are stiff, so he doesn't want to take care of me, my maternal grandparents? β
"How so? Mrs. Rongguo said with a smile--" Yan Zhuang hurriedly walked into the Chongjiao Hall and said with a respectful face, "Every morning, Daoist Sun Simiao has to treat His Highness's stubborn illness, so Mrs. Rongguo has been waiting for a long time. Please wait a moment, Madame, Your Highness will be there soon, will be there soon-"
"Hmph-you said it lightly, since he didn't have no one in his eyes, how can he explain the matter of Wu Er?" Yang waited for a long time, and finally couldn't help it, so he asked Yan Zhuang.
"This-" Yan Zhuang didn't know how to answer for a while, and while he was thinking hard, Li Hong's voice came from outside and said, "Wu Er privately built a gang, gathered a crowd to fight, and almost injured Gu by mistake, this is enough to cure his crime, what does grandmother think?" β
Yang asked Yan Zhuang about Wu Er's matter, in fact, he wanted the East Palace to give a reasonable explanation for Wu Er's death, as long as Wu Er's death had a reasonable explanation, and it was no longer related to the tax issue of the East and West Cities, she was no longer ready to pursue anything, because Li Hong was the prince after all, and even if she was the mother of the Empress Wu, she really didn't dare to annoy Li Hong.
So when she heard Li Hong's explanation, she didn't ask anything anymore, but said in a rather reproachful tone, "Prince, you are finally willing to come out to see my grandmother-"
As soon as Li Hong walked into the Chongjiao Hall, he heard Yang say this, so he walked quickly to Yang and bowed down and said, "My grandson has seen my grandmother!" β
"Don't dareβ" Yang said with an old man, "How dare an old body accept a gift from the prince?" β
"You are the mother of the Empress Wu and the grandmother of the lonely, so you can naturally afford such a gift!" Li Hong said in his words. He first named Yang as Empress Wu's mother, and then said that it was his maternal grandmother, just to tell Yang a very superficial truth, that is, her current status is so noble because of Empress Wu, and it is more like making Yang clear that he respects Yang because of Empress Wu.
Yang naturally understood the meaning of Li Hong's words, so he didn't continue to be stunned, but his tone was softened, and he said with something in his words, "Naturally, we are all a family, and the prince must understand the difficulties of all of us." β
"What my grandmother taught me is that Lone knows!" Li Hong hurriedly replied, and continued to wait for the next step of the Yang family, he would not think that the Yang family would only say such useless nonsense.
"When your grandfather died early, the old man raised your mother and the three of them alone, and the life of orphans and widows was very hard, and after that, your mother entered the palace, from the humble status at the beginning to the current mother's world, this step is not easy!" Yang said like a homely chatter, "Now that her mother is in the world, and she has realized that our family has not had a good time before, she treats us and her children very well, and you must also understand your mother's hard work!" β
Li Hong is not stupid, how can he not understand the meaning of Yang's words?
The Yang family spared so far, didn't he just want to tell him that because the Empress Wu remembered the old love and took into account the sisterhood, she attached great importance to He Lan Minzhi, and the implication was that he should not target He Lan Minzhi everywhere?
It's just that Li Hong was disgusted that the Yang family threatened him with martial arts for the sake of Helan Minzhi, so he deliberately pretended to be stupid and asked, "What did grandmother say?" β
"Prince-" Seeing that Li Hong was still not interested, the Yang family's tone became a little heavier, "Your father is not in good health, and your mother shares the pressure for him to handle government affairs, which not only stabilizes the situation, but also stabilizes your position in the East Palace, so she is very tired every day, and you should understand these truths, right?" Then there are some things you don't want to bother her about in the future. β
After Li Hong heard Yang's words, a cold light flashed in his eyes, Yang's seemingly breezy words were actually threatening him, saying that Gaozong was not in good health and difficult to manage the government, and the Empress Wu was already in power to deal with government affairs, since the Empress Wu could stabilize his position as the crown prince, the implication was that he couldn't be deposed as the crown prince? also said that there are some things that don't let him bother Empress Wu anymore, isn't it just to warn him, and let him stop worrying about Empress Wu against Helan Minzhi in the future?
Li Hong knew that the Yang family was threatening him, but now was the time when the Empress Wu was most suspicious of him, and he didn't want to ignore the existence of the Empress Wu because of the fight with the Yang family, so he could only say respectfully, "Grandmother, please rest assured, Lone's health is much better now, and he has been able to follow his father's wishes, and go to Guangshunmen once every five days to inspect the affairs of various departments and adjudicate some small matters, so that Lone will be able to share more worries for his father and mother in the future, and the queen mother will be able to deal with government affairs more easily in the future." β
Li Hong did not go toe-to-toe with the Yang family, but the meaning of his words was also obvious, he was able to participate in politics now, and it was not up to anyone who wanted to be deposed.
Yang also heard the meaning of Li Hong's words, but seeing that Li Hong spoke so politely, and it was a bit of a child's temperament, she thought that Li Hong had understood the meaning of her words, and the reason why Li Hong said this was an excuse for taking into account his prince's face, so she said lightly, "The prince can have such an idea, and your queen mother will be very happy to know it." β
"Naturally, I don't dare to upset my grandmother!" Li Hong said humbly again.
Yang nodded slightly, "I'm glad that the prince can think like this, since the prince still has important things to do, I will leave!" β
"That lonely still has something to do, so I won't send my grandmother." The play has been played here, and Li Hong has also reached the limit, so he said to Yan Zhuang, "Yan Zhuang, you send your grandmother-"
Yan Zhuang bowed down to receive the order and sent the Yang family out of the Chongjiao Palace.
When Yan Zhuang returned to the Chongjiao Hall again, he found that the prince's face was a little gloomy, but he still couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Your Highness, is that the matter of Wu Er?" β
"Let's get our people back!" Li Hong said in a low voice.
In fact, for Li Hong, it doesn't matter what the Yang family said to him today, what really matters is that the Yang family actually came to the East Palace to warn him in person for Helan Minzhi, which shows how much the Yang family protects Helan Minzhi, which is what Li Hong is most afraid of.
Because Li Hong knew very well that since Empress Wu was summoned into the palace as a maid by Queen Wang, and then step by step to her current position, the Yang family had a great influence on her. Therefore, even if Li Hong is the biological son of Empress Wu, he does not dare to ignore the weight of Yang's words in front of Empress Wu.
"I'll go and make arrangements-" Since the Yang family came to the door in person, Yan Zhuang didn't dare to slack off, bowed down and ordered, and left quickly.
β¦β¦
When Yang left the East Palace and returned to the Zhou Guogong Mansion, he found Helan Minzhi waiting for her in the living room, so he said with a stiff face, "What are you doing here?" β
Helan Minzhi saw Yang and hurriedly got up to give a salute, and when he saw Yang questioning him, he stared at Yang unscrupulously, and said with a smile, "My grandson is here to visit my grandmother!" β
"Among your cousins, you are still the most filial!" Yang sighed and said, and told the maid not to follow her, but to let Helan Minzhi help her and walk straight to the attic in the backyard.
went up to the attic and closed the door with a "bang", Helan Minzhi pulled Yang into his arms, stroked her twin peaks with one hand, stretched out Yang's buttocks with the other, and whispered in Yang's ear, "Grandmother, you made your grandson want to kill you!" β
Yang is already in his fifties, but because of his excellent maintenance, he is like a forty-year-old middle-aged young woman, and his charm is still there. She was touched by Helan Minzhi for a while, her cheeks were already red, and she was panting, and she actually took the initiative to hug Helan Minzhi, and scolded, "You little enemy, you, you are lighter, ah-"
But at this time, how could Helan Minzhi listen to her? The distraction of his hands increased a lot, and he picked her up and strode to the couch, threw it on the brocade quilt, and pressed it violently.
Helan Minzhi pressed Yang's body, climbed Yang's still strong twin peaks with one hand, and quickly untied her lower skirt with the other, and went deep between Yang's legs.
"You, you little enemy, ah-" Yang Shijiao gasped and shouted, "Quick, little enemy, grandmother wants-"
However, when Helan Minzhi heard Yang's low voice, not only did he not continue to go further, but instead stopped and looked at Yang with a sneer.
Seeing that Helan Minzhi was no longer continuing, Yang asked eagerly, "My little enemy, you, what's wrong with you?" β
"Grandmother, today you go to the East Palace, what does this kid Li Hong say?" Helan Minzhi asked with a gloomy face. Yang smiled flatteringly, "Little wrongdoer, don't worry, Wu Er's matter has been resolved." As for Li Hong, I also warned him, he is a smart man and knows what to do. β
"Really?" Helan Minzhi asked in disbelief.
"Little wrongdoer, I didn't give you what you wanted, don't you still believe your grandmother?" Yang said resentfully, and couldn't help but gasp, staring at Helan Minzhi with watery eyes.
When Helan Minzhi heard Yang say this, his gloomy face suddenly showed a happy smile, and he leaned down violently and kissed Yang's lips.
For a moment, the attic was filled with spring, and there was a continuous sound of gasping...
