Chapter 312: Princess Huaichun
On both sides of the Liangyi Hall in the inner palace of Ziwei Palace, there is the sleeping area, which is the living area of the emperor, concubines and those princes and princesses who have not left the palace to live. It's also close to Nishinaien, a beautiful garden that used to be Princess Izumo's favorite place to go. There, there is even a small one
Katayuan Pu was cultivated and cared for by the princess herself.
It's just that now the princess hasn't been there for a few days, and at this time the lord of Izumo Palace is staying in his own Izumo Palace. Although Izumo Palace is called a palace, it is actually not very large, but it is just a relatively large huāyuan. Izumo Palace used to be the happiest place in the past, with dozens of maids and Izumo princesses living here, and there was always a lot to do throughout the day.
The princess is only fifteen years old, but she is the age of fun, but the princess is different from many women in the aristocratic family in Kyoto, and the princess's love of play is limited to dàngdàng swings, chasing butterflies, and raising some huā birds, insects and fish. However, since returning from the Shaolin room where the incense was shang, it is rare to see the princess's smile again.
Every day, I no longer go to the West Inner Garden to take care of the huā grass, but just stay in the palace and look at the big birdcage in front of the window, which contains the two geese brought back from Shaomu Mountain.
If the princess hadn't looked at the birds, she must have been looking at the arrow on the chuáng in the dormitory.
"Where's Princess Izumo?" A gentle voice sounded, and a young man in palace costume walked into Izumo Palace wearing a light blue sè palace dress with a wide-sleeved robe.
The two palace maids standing in front of the door hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Back to the princess, the princess is in the room!" ”
It was the elder sister in the Izumo Palace, Yang Guang's eldest daughter, Princess Nanyang. Princess Nanyang has already married Yuwenshu's third son, Yuwenshi, Princess Nanyang and Princess Izumo look a little similar, but the age difference between the two is ten years old, and they are also half-sisters. But Princess Nanyang is beautiful and gentle, and what is even more rare is that she is knowledgeable. Yuwenshu's three sons, when they were young, were almost all famous sons of You Dàng in Chang'an City.
However, after Princess Nanyang married Yu Wenshi, although she did not use her status as a princess to suppress her husband, she successfully used her gentleness to admonish Yu Wenshi and her. Today's Yuwen Shi has long since lost the unbearable Yu Wenhua and Yu Wenzhi.
Princess Nanyang shook her head, although she had already left the palace to get married, she was very loved by Yang Guang and could enter the palace at any time. She knew that this sister must be in the house again in a daze with that arrow,
The mother died before the sister was born. It was born after her mother's death, which is why she has the name Izumo. But it is precisely because of this that this sister has been more favored by everyone since she was a child.
Not only did his father love him, but even Queen Xiao regarded her as if she had come out, and even Princess Nanyang had been with her since she was a child until she left the palace to get married.
She had seen the arrow, the pair of geese, and even heard the palace maid Mingyue talk about the events of that day. She knew that the man had touched her sister's heart. And what she also knew was that the man was Chen Pojun, although her sister loved him and loved him, but they could not have results. The reason is that Chen Kefu is already engaged to the daughter of Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo, and even the emperor has already given the marriage will a few days ago.
Since Chen Kefu is engaged, Princess Izumo, who is the daughter of the emperor, is naturally impossible to marry Chen Kefu again. Although he is the emperor's daughter, he can't rob her husband with the minister's daughter, not to mention that the minister is still Li Yuan, the prince of Tang Guo, who has just paid homage to the prime minister.
Princess Nanyang faintly persuaded the princess once, but Princess Izumo was like those girls in the huā season, hopelessly fell into lovesickness and was still an unrequited acquaintance. Hearing the sound of footsteps, Princess Izumo blushed and hurriedly hid the small silver arrow that had already been stroked by her thousands of times under the brocade quilt.
Princess Nanyang clearly saw all this in her eyes, but she just sighed, but did not say anything. That day, when Chen Kefu was invited back to the house by Yuwenshu, she secretly glanced at the back a few times and found that this Chen Kefu did have the charm of those young girls. is herself, and she also admits that Chen Kefu is very attractive. But she also knew that the more powerful Princess Izumo was for such an impossible lovesickness, the more difficult it was to help herself in the end.
Gently grabbing his sister's hand and putting it in his hand, Nanyang smiled, "Are you thinking about him again?" ”
Princess Izumo's face turned red, and she turned her head a little shyly, "Sister, what are you talking about!" ”
"You know what? In a few days, she will marry the third lady of the Tang State Mansion.
I've seen those three young ladies, they are heroic, very beautiful and generous, and they can ride and shoot well",
Princess Izumo's face turned white, and her face, which was twisted to the side, suddenly turned cold, and her eyes were even misty. "Sister, don't say it, I don't want to hear it. I'm feeling unwell and want to take a break, is that okay? ”
"Why are you so troubled, silly girl, the father and the queen mother already know. But you know what? The father had personally issued a holy decree a few days ago to marry Chen Kefu and Li Xiuning, and asked the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian to jointly organize the wedding. You know what that means, my father has made up his mind, and you won't have the slightest chance. Chen Pojun is very good, but it doesn't belong to you.
Little sister, wake up, sooner or later, you will have to marry like your sister. When my sister married your brother-in-law, she didn't even know what he looked like, but isn't she still very happy now? When you have children again, you will realize that there are more important things in your life. ”
"Sister, can you let me calm down? I don't want to hear that, I don't want to marry someone else, I... I'm going to marry him. If I can't marry him, I will never marry again in my life. Princess Yeyun shouted out a little uncontrollably.
Princess Nanyang reluctantly took Princess Izumo into her arms, and Princess Izumo couldn't control it anymore and cried in her arms. First love is beautiful, but secret love is painful, even if she is a most favored princess, when facing love, she can only be the same as ordinary mortals.
The sun in early winter is like a small furnace, shining on people's bodies, making people drowsy. Li Shimin got up early in the morning, took his war horse, and rushed to the Liao Mansion with a few family members with a carefully selected gift.
On the surface, he was going to visit his brother-in-law Chen Kefu, but in fact, only he knew that he wanted to see the beautiful woman who had made him lose his life these days. When he saw him at the city gate that day, he could never forget her smile. There was no half-nose for any reason, and it was as if he had been hit by an arrow in an instant. He knew that the beautiful woman's name was Changsun Wuji, and he was now living in the Liaoguo Mansion with his brother, and he heard that he would move to Liaodong in the next year.
He couldn't imagine what he would do once he went to Liaodong. He is twenty-three years old this year, and although he has not yet married or had a concubine, he is no longer a young person who has never experienced anything. He had women, and not one or two, once or twice. But there has never been a woman like the eldest grandson who gave him such a feeling. It's a feeling that you miss all the time. She wasn't the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen, but she was the one he was attracted to.
There is no hostess in the Liaoguo Mansion now, and Chen Kefu did not bring a concubine, so in the huge mansion, Chen Kefu arranged the eldest grandson Wujian brother and sister in a cross-courtyard in the east, and in the backyard in the west, there was a red-whisk girl.
Li Shimin has been coming almost every day recently, and he can find various reasons every time, but unfortunately, he has not met the eldest grandson Wujian many times. But just yesterday, he had finally inquired that the eldest grandson Wujian lived in a cross-courtyard in the east. And next to that, there lived Cheng Yanjin and Qin Shubao.
When he arrived in the mansion, he first went to the study to meet Chen Kefu, and after chatting a few words, he said that he was going to find Cheng Yanjin and Qin Shubao to learn martial arts. Looking at the distant back, Chen Kefu couldn't help but be a little suspicious, when he first arrived in the Eastern Capital, Li Shimin looked at him with enthusiasm on the surface, but indifference inside. And Li Shimin's recent performance has made him suspicious, if Li Shimin is really as he saw before, why did he run to his house so diligently? Shaking his head, Chen Kefu no longer cared about this matter, and continued to look at the secret letter from the secret service department in his hand.
Li Shimin said goodbye to Chen Kefu and went straight to the East Cross Courtyard, he had already inquired about this small courtyard clearly. Looking at the closed courtyard door, his heart beat faster, he straightened his clothes, rubbed his face again, and after a long breath, he stepped forward and gently pushed the door open.
As soon as the door opened, a beautiful figure in the courtyard was facing away from him, holding a book on a swing by the wall. She was so focused, so distracted, that when he entered the courtyard, she didn't feel anything.
The sun shone on her body, giving her whole person a layer of gold, and on that delicate face, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and two small dimples appeared. Li Shimin felt as if his heart had stopped beating, and his face was flushed. He involuntarily stretched out his right hand, as if he wanted to directly cross the distance of more than a dozen steps, hugging the beautiful girl in his arms, hugging it tightly, and never parting.
"Li Gongzi, are you here to find me?" A voice woke him from his dream-like state. Li Shimin turned around a little flustered, only to find that he didn't know when the eldest grandson Wuji actually appeared behind him and was looking at him with a somewhat suspicious expression.
