Originally, I thought that Jincheng was also going to attend the dinner, but when Xue Chongxun put things and went to Zichen Palace, he didn't see her. Come out of the Chengxiang Hall where Princess Taiping lives, go south along the west bank of the Tai Axillary Pond, and then walk a section of avenue a few zhang wide, and you will arrive at the Zichen Palace. After Taiping moved into the Daming Palace, he mostly held activities in the Zichen Hall on weekdays, receiving ministers, envoys, banquets and so on.

As Taiping said, many princesses and county lords were invited to the dinner, most of whom were women from the lineage of Zhongzong Li Xian and Emperor Taishang Li Dan. Seeing such a situation, Xue Chongxun reminded him of his former newlywed wife, Princess Anle. The daughter of Zhongzong and Empress Wei was particularly favored, but she was cut down by the rebels in a coup d'état, so Xue Chongxun had no wife.

Princess Taiping's four sons, the first three were crowned kings, but Xue Chongxun was not crowned king, one reason was that he had no merit, and secondly, it may be because Princess Anle was his wife. Princess Anle was deeply favored by Queen Wei, and as soon as the relationship came up, Xue Chongxun was also a little implicated...... However, the world is impermanent, and now he has turned over and has become Taiping's most trusted son.

"Look at their clothes, some of them are married, but the horses are not coming." Taiping said to Xue Chongxun, who was sitting on the lower side.

Xue Chongxun only thought about Jincheng in his heart, where else did he have other thoughts, so he said casually: "But listen to my mother." "He didn't like the princess Anle that was promised to him before, anyway, it was just a marriage.

The musicians were clamoring with all their might, and behind the first balustrade in the temple a group of women were dancing in circles, and the people were so happy.

At this time, Taiping said again: "The third position on the right is Princess Huo Guo, I heard that she sent you something?" She raised her long sleeves and couldn't help but smile, "But a token of love?" ”

After such a reminder, Xue Chongxun remembered that he did receive a handkerchief last year, with two words embroidered on it. He hadn't seen Princess Huo Guo yet, so he looked in the direction that Taiping pointed out...... I was stunned: why is it so fat? Xue Chongxun's face had become very ugly.

Taiping saw that he knew it in his eyes, so he pointed to a few more and asked him, most of them were too fat, and some of them were not good just by looking at their appearance. At this time, Xue Chongxun really understood that the princess and the princess were also women, and beauties were a minority after all.

"Not satisfied?" Taiping frowned.

Xue Chongxun wondered in his heart, it stands to reason that his mother was already very kind to him, and he personally asked about the continuation of the string (Princess Anle was in front), and let him choose among so many princesses, what kind of treatment is this? If you don't look down on any of them, are you taking yourself too seriously?

He was very embarrassed and said, "Mother, don't worry about this matter first, right?" ”

Sure enough, Taiping was already a little annoyed, so he suppressed his smile and said coldly: "Don't think about Jincheng as soon as possible!" How can the country's politics be child's play? I think Huo Guo is good, she is the emperor's biological daughter, this matter is decided! ”

In the eyes of Taiping, her feelings for Emperor Li Dan can be described as delicate, she executed Li Dan's sons, but she was very good to her daughter, a kind of compensation psychology?

Xue Chongxun looked at Princess Huo Guo on the right seat in amazement, she also looked over, her face was slightly red, and her chubby face showed a coquettish expression...... Xue Chongxun almost didn't spit out the cheese he had just eaten. Originally, Huo Guo was not ugly, but according to the eyes of the Tang people, he really had a bit of a look, but Xue Chongxun had seen many beauties, so he naturally couldn't be interested in such goods. Just like being accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, it is difficult to swallow chaff when you suddenly eat it.

If he marries Huo Guo home, he really doesn't want to touch it, isn't this harming others and himself?

"Mother, you allow Erchen to say a ......word," Xue Chongxun hurriedly persuaded.

When Taiping was angry, her domineering temperament came up: "Didn't you say that you would listen to me?" You are about to be crowned the king of Hedong, and the king of the dignified county has no princess, and the ministers and foreigners are not allowed to laugh at me for mishandling things? This matter is decided early, so that you can save your mind from being uncertain and affecting the overall situation. ”

But this Huo Guo is really inferior to Princess Anle, and Princess Anle was at least a big beauty before, wasn't she?

Xue Chongxun hurriedly said: "Since it is a continuation of the string, the sons and daughters don't have to marry the princess as a wife." ”

Taiping said angrily: "You have no children with Princess Na Anle, you have to marry the Li Tang clan, do you want me to talk about this kind of thing?" ”

Sure enough, every time I quarrel with my mother after eating, is it destined that their mother and son can't eat dinner together?

Taiping is unhappy, Xue Chongxun is even more unhappy, the most beautiful princess wants to give it away, but he has to pick among a group of crooked melons and inferior dates, and it is not that kind of goods to pick and choose.

He is not a good talker, and his temper is not good as soon as he comes up: "I won't marry!" Is it okay to be a monk? ”

"Presumptuous!" Taiping shouted angrily. This sound immediately alarmed everyone in the hall, and the musician also stopped playing, and the dancer behind the railing lowered her long sleeves and gently withdrew from the stage, and the hall suddenly fell silent, looking at the peace on the throne in the middle with surprised and fearful eyes.

Xue Chongxun looked at his mother in amazement, not knowing what she was going to do. At this time, Taiping took a deep breath, stood up, and said coldly: "I'm going back to the palace to rest, you continue to be naughty." ”

Everyone said, "Congratulations to Your Highness." ”

Taiping looked at Xue Chongxun, who was still sitting, and said coldly: "What are you still sitting on, come with me!" ”

Xue Chongxun glanced at the grape wine, crab roe Biluo, steamed sheep, etc. on the case, and his stomach was not full, so he had to get up and leave the table to follow Princess Taiping.

In the hug, their mother and son got into a carriage, and Xue Chongxun's favor was still undiminished. In the spacious car, the two looked at each other without saying a word. Xue Chongxun sighed a lot in his heart, even if he reached an unspeakably expensive status, there were still many things that he couldn't be the master of, such as marriage, not to mention the royal family, even the big families with a bit of lintel status all consider family marriage first, rather than male and female love.

Originally, he had already understood this rule, but when it came to him, he still had a lot of unhappiness.

Seeing the appearance and behavior of those princesses just now, he thought of Jincheng in the shape of a fairy, which was incomparable, and made him think of Jincheng's goodness. Beautiful, gentle, dignified, marrying a woman like this, what more can a husband ask for?

At this time, he said a very childish sentence: "Mother, why don't you let other princesses go to make peace and leave Jincheng behind." "Is this called pampering and pride?

Taiping sneered, noncommittal, and after a while, she said lightly: "The last time I went to Penglai Hall to see the Emperor, when I came out, a eunuch spoke in front of me, saying that Princess Jincheng had persuaded the Emperor to pass on the throne to Sanlang. ”

Xue Chongxun said: "Then she used to be towards us." ”

Taiping said: "I have never heard of her interest in Taoism before, but recently I have frequently heard that she has entered and exited the Sanqing Palace, and even the emperor has told her in front of me." ”

At this time, Xue Chongxun understood what Taiping meant, which was nothing more than saying that Jincheng was too scheming and didn't like her.

"Playing tricks in front of me, she's still a little tender." Taiping said coldly. G
