682, the depressed princess (I)
Jingwen was holding the last dzi, and his heart was very complicated. He was hesitating, whether to send it to Princess Changle in person, or let someone send it to the palace. And Jingwen hasn't seen Princess Changle for a long time, and he hasn't seen him for more than half a year. Because Jingwen knew that if he saw Princess Changle, he didn't know what to say. Princess Changle has paid a lot for herself, how can Jingwen repay her? "Pledge by body"? This is obviously not possible. Not to mention that Jingwen has a group of wives and concubines, and even his wife is married, is it possible to let the princess be a concubine? Obviously, even if Princess Changle agreed, it was impossible for Li Shimin and Empress Changsun to agree. It's just that you have a group of wives and concubines, and the princess can't be a concubine.
"Hey! Forget it, send it yourself! Jingwen said with a sigh.
Jingwen went to the Taiji Palace and showed the token that the emperor gave him at that time to enter and leave the palace. This token is connected. The palace can be entered, let alone the front palace? And Li Shimin seems to have forgotten that he had given Jingwen this token, and he never asked Jingwen to come back. Therefore, Jingwen easily walked into the gate of Taiji Palace without any obstruction and notification, and came directly to the harem. And Jingwen to the front and back. The palace maids at the junction of the palace said that they wanted to invite Princess Changle out, and those palace maids soon went after. Please Princess Changle in the palace.
Jingwen is also behind. Waiting on the lawn near the junction of the palace and the former palace, Princess Changle came soon after.
And when Princess Changle came to Jingwen, her face was flushed, as if she didn't know what to say. And Jingwen had nothing to say, and he didn't know what to say. As a result, there was silence, and the two looked at each other.
In the end, Jingwen couldn't help it, touched Princess Changle, who had just reached his chest, and said, "I haven't seen you for more than half a year, you have grown taller again!" ”
But Princess Changle smiled and said, "Don't touch my head." I don't grow much after touching it. ”
Jingwen remembered that this was when Princess Changle was a young Lori, Jingwen touched her head, and she replied the same way. Now Jingwen touched her head again, so she still answered like this, which made people a little unbearable.
"Princess, you're eleven years old, aren't you?" Jingwen asked.
Princess Changle nodded and said, "In a month or two, after the New Year, it will be twelve years old." If it were a virtual age, I would have been twelve years old. And back then. The queen mother married her father when she was thirteen years old. ”
Jingwen frowned, obviously this Princess Changle was hinting at herself. When the eldest grandson queen was thirteen years old, she married Li Shimin, but in fact, she was only twelve years old. Getting married at such a young age is unacceptable in later generations. And Jingwen, of course, couldn't accept that such a young woman would get married. Although it was the norm to get married at the age of eleven or twelve in ancient times, Jingwen just couldn't accept it.
"We'll talk about that later!" Jingwen said.
Princess Changle was a little disappointed, but she still asked, "What do you want to see me for?" ”
Jingwen took the initiative to say: "The queen asked me to prepare some gifts for you, and I don't have anything to prepare for this expedition, so I also sent you some loot!" I got some good stuff from the Tibetans. So I'm giving it to you! ”
Princess Changle frowned, obviously not very satisfied with Jingwen's answer. Jingwen is also a little bad at coaxing girls, because he said that the eldest grandson queen asked him to prepare. If it's a man who is very good at coaxing girls, he will definitely say that he prepared it on his own initiative. Absolutely will not give up the eldest grandson empress.
And Princess Changle finally understood that if it weren't for her mother, I'm afraid Jingwen wouldn't have thought of preparing a gift for herself at all. This made Princess Changle very depressed, because she knew that she didn't have much status in Jingwen's heart at all. So can this not make Princess Changle depressed? As the only "outsider" that Princess Changle can often contact, Jingwen can be said to be the only non-relative opposite sex who can be often contacted by Princess Changle, except for those eunuchs of course. In addition, Jingwen has some characteristics of Li Shimin back then. Therefore, Princess Changle's young father-lover complex took the initiative to let Princess Changle have different feelings for Jingwen. In addition, Jingwen also knows how to coax little girls, often cooks food for Princess Changle, and often cares about her. So Jingwen also made Princess Changle like it very much, but now she found that the other party didn't seem to be like that to herself, which made Princess Changle very depressed.
I have to say that women who have been closed for a long time are also very easy to be "love at first sight". It's like Cui Yingying in the West Chamber, isn't she deceived all of a sudden? And these are closed off for a long time, and they know too little about the outside world, and they are not good at distinguishing between good guys and bad guys. And this kind of closed woman is also very emotional for the opposite sex who is not a relative, obviously Princess Changle is the same. How many men can touch her? That is, Li Shimin, and her brothers. And Jingwen for some reason, after several times in and out. Palace, so Princess Changle saw the opposite sex who was not a relative, that is, Jingwen alone.
Moreover, Jingwen's personality traits are somewhat similar to Li Shimin's back then, so Princess Changle can only like Jingwen under the comprehensive effect. And although Jingwen's age is much older than him, it is not completely impossible in ancient times. In the Tang Dynasty, there were many men who were dozens of years older than the princess when they were concubines, so it was not a problem to be ten years apart. As for Jingwen having another woman, this is nothing. Because when many horses marry princesses, they are all "second marriages", which is not a problem. So Princess Changle subconsciously thought that there was no problem.
"And what gift did you have for me?" Princess Changle asked.
Jingwen took out the pendant of the nine-eyed dzi and handed it to Princess Changle. Princess Changle saw this nine-eyed dzi, and then she was a little surprised, because she didn't know what kind of jewelry this was. Princess Changle is in the court, and she is also well-informed about jewelry and other things, but she doesn't know what this dzi is.
And Jingwen also immediately explained, after all, there are not many people who know how to collect dzi in this era! And even in later generations, the dzi was a very niche collection, if it wasn't for Jingwen who once wanted to travel to the plateau, he wouldn't have understood this thing. (To be continued......)
