Chapter 111 Concubine Yang's godson
Li Ke walked out of the Chengqing Palace, passed through the Zhuming Gate, entered the Liangyi Gate, and went directly to Concubine Yang's bedroom.
"Son-in-law, see mother!"
Seeing her beloved son who she hadn't seen for a long time, the graceful and dignified Concubine Yang immediately put down the scroll in her hand and hurriedly greeted her, almost crying in her red eyes.
"Ke'er, you're back!"
"Mother has always been well?"
Concubine Yang burst into tears and smiled: "Okay, okay!" The palace has a good diet and living life, you and Xiaodian are also filial, and they write to say hello every month, how can the mother concubine be bad? But Ke'er, are you working hard in Anzhou? ”
"Don't worry, mother, everything is fine."
Concubine Yang nodded and said, "Well, have you seen your father?" ”
"I have already been to the Chengqing Palace, and my father has a lot of care and teaching for his sons, and he also allows his sons to stay until after the birthday of the concubine in March."
"Really? That's nice! Concubine Yang's eyes moved slightly, quite excited.
The mother and son sat down, the maid immediately sent pastries and meals, and Concubine Yang said softly: "I know that you are coming back, prepare these foods you like in the morning, and use them quickly." ”
"Thank you, Princess." Li Ke devoured it, opened his mouth and smiled again, his heroic spirit was lost, and he was as happy as a child.
Li Ke stuffed the entrance of two pastries, took a few boxes from the attendant's hands, handed them forward and said, "These are some special products brought back from Anzhou by Erchen, as well as gifts purchased for the concubine."
There are also some New Year's gifts for the princes and princesses, and it is inconvenient for the children of the palaces to go, so they also ask the mother to help the children transfer them. ”
"Okay, Ke'er has a heart." Concubine Yang opened the box, took a look at Anzhou's specialties, her eyes fell on some porcelain bottles, and she said in surprise: "And perfume?" ”
Li Ke said with a smile: "Erchen heard that this thing is sold in Chang'an in Anzhou, and the concubines and princesses in the palace like it very much, so they bought some. ”
Concubine Yang said leisurely: "That's right, your father has given some, and it is indeed better than incense powder...... Just after autumn and winter. The flowers are gone, the perfume is discontinued, and there is not much left in the palace, where did you buy it? ”
"An Yixuan, listen to the shopkeeper, this is the inventory at the bottom of the box."
"It's scary to go out in the name of your King Wu? That's not good. Concubine Yang was slightly displeased, as if she was angry.
"The mother is too worried, no!" Li Ke said with a smile: "Coincidentally yesterday, the owner and shopkeeper of An Yixuan were supposed to give it away for nothing, but Erchen still insisted on paying. ”
"What's going on. Let's hear it. When Concubine Yang heard this, she was quite curious.
Li Ke slowly told me about yesterday's events, and Concubine Yang listened to it and asked softly: "You mean, Wei Yue bullied the relatives of the Bo family in Huaiyang County?" ”
"Erchen first saw that Wei Yue was rude to Zheng Niangzi, so he made a move, and only later did he know that Zheng Niangzi was also uneven, and Wei Yue's real intrusion was Mrs. Xie's wife."
"Ke'er, do you think this is an ordinary thing for Wei Yue to get drunk and make trouble?"
Li Ke chuckled in his heart. Puzzled, "Isn't it?" Although Erchen went to Anzhou, he also knew the virtues of some families in Chang'an. ”
"Ke'er, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple." Concubine Yang said leisurely: "A few days ago, Princess Hejian entered the palace to see Concubine Wei and mentioned that Bo Xie Yi of Huaiyang County was disrespectful to her mother and son. said that Xie Yiyin was his sister-in-law first, that is, the Du Shi you saw to heal his wounds, and delayed Li Chonghui's treatment, so that he was somewhat disabled. ”
Li Ke frowned and said, "Heal your loved ones first." There shouldn't be anything wrong with that? Why ......"
"Some people are arrogant, relying on their status and background, and acting in a domineering manner. Weird, isn't it? Concubine Yang sighed: "As a result, for some people, there will be a disaster......
"What does the concubine mean......" Li Ke is also a quick-witted person, and after a little scrutiny, he noticed the connection.
"Wei Yue is the nephew of the Wei family, and he is related to the Hejian Palace, and he happened to be rude to the daughter of the Xie Mansion when he was drunk, which is difficult to say is a coincidence." Concubine Yang said softly: "What's more, Zheng Liwan is also involved in this matter, I'm afraid it will ......."
"What's wrong with Mrs. Zheng?"
Concubine Yang said: "I think you have also heard that the prince went to Quchi a few days ago to attend the banquet of Princess Changle and Changsun Chong, and was assassinated when he came back.
At that time, Mr. Xie and Zheng Liwan were in the same car, and they went together to ask for help, but it seemed that they were ...... A few days ago, Sun Fujia of Dali Temple frequently entered the palace...... The concubine is in the inner court, and I don't know the details, but these people have been quite sensitive lately.
Ke'er, if you are implicated for no reason, it is not a good thing, so the mother concubine is inevitably a little sensitive and suspicious. ”
"I see!" Li Ke nodded and said, "I didn't expect there to be so many involved, the minister there ...... yesterday."
"It's okay!" Concubine Yang shook her head and said: "Although Wei Yue has some background, you are a prince, your status is noble, and he made mistakes in the past, you just have an uneven road."
Besides, you made a move to save Zheng Liwan, so that neither the Wei family nor Wei Guifei can blame you, after all, I am also in the position of a concubine, and Wei Guifei has to sell me a little bit of face, but ...... in the future."
Under the queen of the Tang Palace, there are four concubines of "noble and virtuous", and Concubine Yang is the second concubine, but she has always been low-key and deliberately ignores the title of her concubine, so ordinary people call Concubine Yang.
"What's next?"
Concubine Yang advised: "In the future, you should not be involved in this matter again." ”
"Yes!" While Li Ke nodded, he was also curious: "This new Huaiyang County Bo Xie Yi seems to be very difficult!" ”
Concubine Yang said: "It's not simple, listen to your father mention, this person is very ingenious, this perfume, as well as that Qionghua brew, new grain, treat your father and pheasant slaves, as well as his poems, you must have heard of it." ”
Li Ke nodded and said: "Yes, although Anzhou is remote, these are all major events that move the world, and Erchen has naturally heard of it, Xie Yi is extraordinary, and he is a rare young talent." ”
"There's something else you don't know." Concubine Yang said leisurely: "I heard that when he was in Luoyang, the King of Wei had a conflict with him; At the first snow banquet in Chang'an Quchi, the eldest grandson Chong sent a pair of authentic works of Wang Xianzhi, and the East Palace sent the manuscript of his ancestor Xie Lingyun.
Just yesterday, when you were in Dongshi, Xie Yi had entered the palace, but your father didn't see him. Some chamberlains saw it, and the King of Jin and Princess Jinyang met with them and had a very happy conversation. ”
Li Ke was surprised and said, "Pheasant slave and son? ”
"That's right!" Concubine Yang said leisurely: "I heard that when I was in Luoyang, Your Majesty was busy and neglected to take care of the pheasant slave and son-in-law, but Xie Yi and that Du family took care of it.
The pheasant slave and his son have a lot of affection for the Xie family, and they are intimate playmates with the young sister of the Xie family. From the words of the son, the mother concubine vaguely felt that their attachment to the Xie family or the Du family even exceeded that of the concubines who often took care of them in the back court. ”
"Is that so?"
"Yes, since the death of Empress Wende, the pheasant slave and the son have been depressed, and even His Majesty has no choice but to raise them personally, but after going to Luoyang, they have greatly improved and become much more cheerful."
Concubine Yang said: "Even your father and emperor are amazed, praising Xie Yi for having a way, the pheasant slave and his son were slightly unhappy the day before yesterday, but after seeing Xie Yi yesterday, his eyebrows danced this morning." ”
"It's amazing!"
Concubine Yang sighed: "So, this Xie family is not simple, but if a courtier is too involved with the prince, it is not a good thing." Now that he is involved with several princes, the concubine thinks that it is better for you to stay away. ”
"Uh...... Be! ”
"Ke'er!" Concubine Yang sighed lightly: "You know the origin of the mother concubine, you have the royal blood of the Li and Yang families, the Sui and Tang dynasties, it seems to be extremely noble, but it is precisely because of this that you can only be a prince forever, do you understand?" ”
Li Ke's heart was shocked, and he nodded: "Yes, Erchen understands!" ”
Concubine Yang said earnestly: "The mother concubine hopes that you will be a prince and a courtier." It is beneficial to Datang, and the things within the responsibilities are done well, and the other ...... Don't think too much.
You also have to learn how to be a good prince and a good courtier...... Do you understand? ”
Speaking of this, Concubine Yang had a lot of helplessness and worry in her eyes. Li Ke understood, hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Erchen remember the teachings of the concubine. ”
Concubine Yang advised: "After leaving the palace, go to the East Palace and visit the injured prince, understand?" ”
"I understand, my father told me just now."
"Really?" Concubine Yang's eyes moved, and she said softly: "Then you go earlier, there are ...... During the New Year's Festival, I also went to the Wei Palace. ”
"Yes, Erchen understands." Li Ke nodded knowingly, sat down for a while and left.
Concubine Yang looked at her son's distant back, and couldn't help but shake her head slightly, what mother in the world doesn't want her son to have a chance?
But in the royal family, especially if he has a special background, it is not a blessing to have a son who is heroic and martial!
Although it is unfair to him, I hope he can understand this painstaking ......
