Chapter 671: My son is in love
"Oh? What did the concubine say? Li Su said with some surprise, Concubine Yang guessed that even her own appearance would not have any effect, it seems that this matter is indeed tricky enough.
I saw that Concubine Yang was a little angry and said: "What else can it be, isn't it your father, you said that he is so old, but he doesn't know how to take care of his body, and this autumn he also took a group of people into the mountains to hunt, but he encountered a tiger, he was still reckless and did not let others help, he took a bow and arrow to shoot the tiger, but in the end although the tiger was shot to death, but his arm was also injured, this matter made the ministers of the court and the central government admonish, but I look at his appearance, I guess I didn't listen to it at all." ”
Li Su felt a headache after hearing this, he was familiar with Li Shimin's temperament, and knew that his father's genes were full of violent elements, there were some strong enemies around the Tang Dynasty in the past, but Li Shimin bombed them all into scum, and now he can't find an opponent, Li Shimin has to vent his violent tendencies through hunting. So it was too difficult to persuade Li Shimin not to hunt.
"Mother, I will give my father a piece of music, but I have the same opinion as you, and I don't think it will be of much use." Li Su finally said helplessly.
"That's all there is to it." Concubine Yang also said with a wry smile, "After this winter, it will be time for spring hunting again, it is estimated that your father will have to go to Nanshan to hunt again, and I must follow him at that time, although some persuasion may not be useful, but it is better than nothing." ”
Li Su also nodded, Empress Eldest Sun was not in good health and could not always accompany Li Shimin, so the only person left who could persuade Li Shimin was Concubine Yang.
"Mother. Why didn't Shengping come with you this time? Li Su suddenly remembered his little sister, and Shengping was already fourteen years old. is one year older than Chouchou, but because Li Su is away all the year round. The brother and sister don't see each other much.
When Concubine Yang heard this, she held her forehead with her hand, and blamed herself helplessly: "You see my memory, I came to Taiwan to see off your third brother, and I almost forgot to tell you a great happy event." ”
"What a happy event, could it be that Sister Shengping has already promised someone, right?" At this time, Wen Xin also said with a look of surprise. Although Shengping is only fourteen, the princesses of the Tang Dynasty are generally engaged and married early, and later after Li Su's persuasion, Li Shimin set the rules in the palace, and the princess will still be engaged early. But marriage was not until after the age of eighteen.
"It's not that Shengping is still young, and I don't want her to let someone agree so early, and when she is older, it's not too late to let someone else have her own opinions." Concubine Yang smiled after hearing this.
When Li Su heard this, he also praised loudly: "The idea of the mother concubine is good, a woman's marriage is a lifelong thing, and she must be satisfied with herself, but don't be like her son, who is an eighteen-year-old girl, but she has not been able to make a family affair yet!" ”
Speaking of which, the son is also naturally beautiful. Appearance, talent, and character are all the best choice among princesses, plus she is Li Shimin's favorite daughter, and she is also Li Su's favorite sister, so it was a few years ago. has been sought after by countless young handsome people, and there are many people in the family who propose relatives, but the son has not looked down on any of them. Li Shimin and Empress Changsun couldn't bear to force her. So I had to drag it out like this, and Li Su was also very anxious for this. even personally helped his son find a few young people with good looks, but they were also rejected by his son.
I heard Li Su mention his son. Concubine Yang said with a smile: "Don't worry about the son's matter, before I came, I felt that this girl might have a sweetheart, but after the incident, the big joy I said is that Cai'er is pregnant again, Shengping and Cai'er have the best relationship, this time I will stay in Chang'an to accompany Cai'er, the imperial doctor said that until May next year, Cai'er will give birth!" ”
"What, that's great!" Li Yu also shouted excitedly when he heard it, originally he heard that his son had a sweetheart, and he was anxious to ask, but after hearing that Cai'er was pregnant, his heart was immediately filled with this incident, and his face was full of surprise.
It turned out that Li Zhi and Cai'er got married a few years ago, and Miss Hu Yuyi, who met Li Zhi in Taiwan, also married him at the same time as Liangdi, and Cai'er became pregnant soon after marriage, but unfortunately she gave birth to a daughter, but later Hu Yuyi gave birth to a son. Cai'er was able to become the crown princess at the beginning, all thanks to Li Su's support and Li Zhi's own insistence, her position was not stable, so she urgently needed a son to consolidate her position, but unfortunately after giving birth to her daughter, she didn't get pregnant again for a long time, which made Concubine Yang, an aunt, very anxious, but I didn't expect Cai'er to finally get pregnant again this time.
Next, Li Su asked some more about Cai'er's physical condition and how was the relationship between her and Li Zhi? When I learned that everything was fine, I was relieved. In the end, Li Su asked: "Mother, just now you said that your son has a sweetheart, what is going on?" ”
As soon as she mentioned this matter, Concubine Yang smiled before speaking: "Speaking of son-in-law, this girl really has an idea, since she was thirteen years old, people have been proposing marriage to her, but at the beginning she said that she wanted to find a husband like Liulang you, but although our Datang is big, we really can't find a second Liulang." ”
When Concubine Yang said this, she looked at Li Su proudly, her son was a recognized genius, and he couldn't even be described as a genius. Relying on his own strength to establish a country overseas and ascend the throne as the emperor, and now the strength of Daqi is not worse than that of the Tang Dynasty, Shilin's students and even historians think that Li Su can already be compared with Li Shimin, creating an unprecedented overall situation for the descendants of Yan and Huang. Whenever she heard this kind of evaluation of Li Su by others, Concubine Yang would feel extremely proud.
Li Su smiled a little bitterly after hearing this, her son's personality is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and because of the influence of the growth environment, she has some tendencies to love her father and brother in choosing a mate, don't think that this is a perversion, in fact, most women will have a tendency to love their father and brother, and they will also choose those who have the same temperament as their father and brother when choosing a mate, which is very normal.
Originally, this pair of ordinary women was nothing, but the father and brother of the son-in-law were both emperors through the ages, and it was already a miracle that two of them could appear in the same era, and it was impossible for her to find a third one, so the marriage of the son-in-law had been delayed for five years, and until now she has not found a man who makes her heart move. However, what Concubine Yang told next made Li Su feel like a circle.
It turned out that when Empress Changsun was sick this year, the son made a female crown for a period of time in a Taoist temple outside Chang'an City, preparing to pray for his mother.
The so-called female crown, in fact, is a female Taoist, the upper nobles of the Tang Dynasty believe in Taoism, and there are often people among the noble women who become female crowns for some reasons, but Taoist priests are not forbidden to get married, so as long as these female crowns take off their robes, they can marry immediately. This kind of practice of making a female crown is very popular among the aristocracy, and most of them are like sons, who pray for the blessing of their relatives before making a female crown.
The identity of the son is special, in order not to let others harass her, the news of her being the female crown is naturally strictly blocked, and even the Taoist temple of the son's monk is specially selected, except for a few female Taoist priests in the Taoist temple, there are no other idle people, etc., and there are a lot of guards around the periphery.
Coincidentally, on the morning of one day, there was a group of students in the Guozi Prison who went out to play, and when they happened to walk to the Taoist temple where the son was a monk, they suddenly encountered a torrential rain, so they went to the temple to take shelter temporarily, and saw a son in a Taoist robe, which made them shocked at the moment, and a few frivolous students even made poems on the spot, and tactfully expressed their admiration to the son.
It's a pity that this annoyed the sons, and they were kicked out, and the students were embarrassed by the heavy rain. However, one of them was a young scholar named Shangguan Tingzhi, but he really had true feelings for his son, and after being kicked out of the Taoist temple, he didn't even hide from the rain, just stood outside the gate and didn't leave.
For the next period of time, this Shangguan Tingzhi must arrive every day, and at first he thought that the other party was the same as the previous suitor, and he didn't care about it at all, and he didn't plan to see the other party, but this Shangguan Tingzhi was really a seed of infatuation, and the Taoist Temple didn't let him in, so he sat under a pine tree outside the Taoist Temple and waited, and he was not idle when he waited, either playing the piano or practicing calligraphy, and when inspiration came, he would write a few love poems and send them to the temple.
Later, Shangguan Tingzhi also learned from a female Taoist priest in the Taoist temple that the son was here to pray for his mother's blessing, and he originally wanted to inquire about which family the son was, but unfortunately the other party refused to say when he died.
However, after learning the news that the son was here to pray for blessings, Shangguan Tingzhi immediately made a change, although he still came every day, but no longer asked to see him, but sat under the pine tree outside the Taoist temple and copied the scriptures, in order to pray for the son's mother to bless her, and the copy was several months.
It can also be regarded as Shangguan Tingzhi's luck, since he began to copy the writing, the condition of the eldest grandson Empress has really slowly improved, which makes the son very happy, and at the same time, he is no longer so cold to Shangguan Tingzhi, and occasionally invites the other party to sit in the view.
After really coming into contact with his son, Shangguan Tingzhi's admiration for his son has increased unabated, but he is a scholar and his face is relatively thin, so he is embarrassed to say some things, and he can only express his admiration with some actions.
Speaking of Shangguan Tingzhi's family background, his talent is not particularly outstanding, and his appearance is very handsome, but his son is not that kind of shallow woman, and Shangguan Tingzhi cannot meet the requirements of his son's previous mate selection no matter what aspect he looks at.
But no one can say anything about feelings, after a period of contact, the son really had a trace of emotion in his heart for Shangguan Tingzhi, which may be what people often say about long-term love.
Even Empress Changsun's illness was cured, and she did not leave the Taoist temple, but still contacted Shangguan Tingzhi as a female crown, and until now, the capital of Shangguan Court did not know the true identity of her son. It's just that the three generations of Shangguan Tingzhi's ancestors have all been investigated clearly by Li Shimin.
When Li Su learned the identity of Shangguan Tingzhi from Concubine Yang, he smiled bitterly and sighed that this world is really too small! (To be continued......)
