Chapter 220: Marriage between a man and a woman is irrelevant
Regarding the selection of concubines, Li Chun didn't come to explain to Nianyun half a sentence, but Li Heng came to Penglai Hall impatiently.
"Mother!" He ran profusely and was a little impatient, "You go and help your son and tell Your Majesty, I don't want to choose a concubine!" ”
"Choose a concubine for you?" Nian Yun put down the flower scissors in his hand, took out a handkerchief and threw it to him, "How many times have I told you, the person who is the prince, don't be so frizzy and unorthodox!" Slowly, what's going on? ”
Li Heng took the handkerchief and wiped it twice, rubbed his sleeves around his face, gasped twice, and then said: "Didn't someone advise Your Majesty to recruit concubines two days ago, what did Your Majesty say!" ”
"How?"
Li Heng pursed his lips, "He said that the Tang Dynasty already has a crown prince, and there is no need to be strict with the emperor's heir." It's better to choose a good choice for the crown prince, and it's the same to give birth to a few more royal grandchildren......"
In this way, His Majesty means that he does not plan to choose another concubine. And Heng'er's position is also stable, because his subtext is that he doesn't plan to change a prince, even if the prince can't do it, there is still a grandson.
A faint warm current surged through Nian Yun's heart, and he smiled: "If Your Majesty really said so, you should be happy." ”
Li Heng heard his mother say this, and after thinking for a long time, he understood His Majesty's deep meaning, but he was still not very happy: "But mother, my son doesn't want to choose a concubine......"
"How can you be willing or not!" Nianyun raised his face and said: "You just like Luoluo, but have you ever asked Luoluo's intentions?" Luoluo He once said that she wanted to marry you, if it was just your wishful thinking, even if Luoluo didn't do it, she might not be willing to marry you! ”
"But ......" Li Heng has never thought carefully about such a possibility, because he has always felt that he is the crown prince, and he may be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the future, and his mother has always acquiesced. Will the emperor have a woman who can't be loved?
Nian Yun patted his arm and pointed to the inside of the main hall, "Luoluo is inside, you go and ask her, if she is still willing to marry you as the crown princess today, this palace will intercede with Your Majesty for you." But if you are unwilling to marry, you don't have to say more, choose a good family from the local area, or choose a woman of the right age as a concubine from the family, you can consider it yourself. ”
For Nianyun, she does not approve of the daughter of the Wang family as the crown princess, but the Wang family is indeed not suitable to offend. If it's just Liangdi Zhaoxun or something like that, and then suppress it with a few side concubines, it's not impossible.
"Mother, Luoluo doesn't want to be the crown princess."
A slightly magnetic voice came, and the mother and son looked up and saw Luoluo standing by the door. Since the accident, her voice seems to have been a little bad, different from the crisp girl's voice before, and her voice is always hoarse.
At the moment, she was wearing a white background embroidered jade lotus clothes, no fat powder, her long hair was scattered behind her head, and her face was still a little pale, but it made her whole person look extremely holy and dusty.
Li Heng looked at her stupidly, a little incredulous: "Luoluo, what did you say...... It's not true, it was Your Majesty who asked you to say that, isn't it, Luoluo......"
Luoluo looked at him calmly, very calmly: "Before this incident, I told my mother to give me a little more time to think about it." Now that I've thought about it, I don't want to marry you. Brother Heng, I sincerely wish you to find a better woman to accompany you for the rest of your life. You and I, from now on, male marriage and female marriage have nothing to do with each other. ”
Li Heng looked at Luoluo in a daze and turned around and walked into the hall, all of this was like a dream. And he clearly knew that in this dream, he had finally missed the love of his life.
He stared at the door of the disappearing palace for a long time before he exhaled, "Mother, if from the beginning, my son was like a big brother, cautious in his words and deeds, and strict with himself, would Luoluo be willing to marry me?" ”
Nianyun looked at the glow of the sky, looked at Heng'er's face that was gradually becoming pale, and suddenly felt tired for no reason. Will it?
"In this world, there have never been so many ifs."
Li Heng seemed to understand something, retracted his gaze, and turned his head: "Mother, my son knows that he is wrong, and he is willing to obey the arrangements of His Majesty and Mother." ”
When Li Heng returned to the East Palace, he was very depressed, so he simply left the palace and went to Pingkangfang to watch the song and dance.
In the most prestigious Qiyue Building in Pingkangli, a stage is being set up, singing a "The Biography of Liu Yi". The beautiful dragon girl married Bo Qinglang by mistake and was imprisoned in the cold and barren field to shepherd sheep, and the scholar Liu Yi met by chance, rescued the dragon girl and was saved, and finally became a fairy dependent.
The story is so beautiful, and the talented and beautiful women are finally able to break through many obstacles and live happily together.
Li Heng looked at the stage and was distracted, and inexplicably remembered that Luoluo was standing by the gate of the hall today, with a depressed and lonely expression.
"Isn't the legendary drama good-looking, why does Lang Jun wander out of the world?"
A hoarse and old voice sounded in his ears, Li Heng was startled, and then saw that a person appeared behind him without knowing when.
The man seemed to be an old woman, with scorched hair, a thin face, several frightening scars on her face, and her left eye collapsing in a cloudy state, presumably blind. But her clothes were clean and neat, and she didn't look like a beggar's wife.
Li Heng frowned slightly and said casually: "The play is very good, it's just boring." ”
The old woman said again: "The boredom in Lang Jun's heart, my master may be able to solve it a little, I don't know if I can talk about it upstairs?" ”
This old woman is funny, who can solve the matter of the heavenly family? It's just that the people in the rivers and lakes boast about Haikou indiscriminately, and then use some fortune-telling tricks on the rivers and lakes to fool people.
Li Heng smiled faintly, "A certain boredom and confusion can not be solved by ordinary people, so there is no need to bother." ”
The old woman smiled eatingly, and Li Heng noticed that this old woman had a neat and beautiful mouthful. There is no doubt that if you just look at those teeth, you might think that it is a beautiful young woman.
It's a pity that that face, and that voice, are very terrifying, and they don't match her bright teeth at all.
The old woman laughed for a while, suddenly leaned into his ear, lowered her voice and said: "What Lang Jun is worried about is just love, and his identity and status are all shackles." My master is upstairs, Lang Jun will not be in the way to take a look, so why not go for a while? ”
I couldn't have guessed this sentence more accurately. Li Heng was shocked and asked, "Who is the master of your family?" ”
The old woman laughed again and said, "Why does Lang Jun bother to guess, go for a while, don't you know everything?" ”
The people who come and go in this Qiyue Building are very redundant, princes and nobles, and even three religions and nine streams, as long as they have money, they can come in. However, just to see it, this broad daylight, Qiyue Lou is full of people, he is a man, what is there to be afraid of?
When you see it, maybe the folk strange people can really come up with some way!
He hesitated for a moment, and then made a decision: "In this way, Troublesome Mama will lead the way." ”
The old woman made a "please" posture, and Li Heng suddenly found that this old woman's gestures were full of elegance, and she really didn't look like an old woman. But looking at her face and skin, I feel that she is indeed not young.
The old woman took a few steps forward, and Li Heng found that her walking posture was also a little strange, it should be that there was a problem with one leg, and she walked with a limp.
On the second floor, the old woman led him to a private room nearby, knocked lightly on the door three times, and said in a low voice: "The person has been invited." ”
"Please come in."
Inside was a young man's voice, which seemed familiar.
Li Heng pushed the door in, and when he saw the man sitting at the table tasting wine, he was taken aback: "Second brother? ”
Unlike Li Heng, Li Yun was not surprised at all when he saw him, he just smiled faintly, put down the wine cup, and stood up: "His Royal Highness the Prince, don't come unharmed?" ”
Since the death of the eldest brother that year, King Li was given a mansion and moved out of the Taiji Palace. Although the title of King Li was still there, he was almost deprived of all the right to participate in politics, and he was not allowed to go to court again and become a completely idle prince.
But Li Heng has always lived in the imperial city, because of the matter of the eldest brother, he has never been to see the second brother again, speaking of which, the brothers have not seen each other for several years.
Seeing that it was the second brother, Li Heng no longer wanted to talk to him, and sighed lightly, "Heng is all right, and the second brother Lao remembers." If the second brother has nothing else to do, Heng will leave. ”
"Hey-" Li Yun hurriedly stopped in front of him, "It's rare for our brothers to see each other, so it's better to let Yun accompany you for a few drinks and chat to forget your worries." Yun knows that you are not happy in your heart, didn't Yun love back then? ”
Speaking of this love, the second brother was obsessed with Liu Baolin beside His Majesty, and Li Heng knew it. Speaking of which, their brothers' feelings are bumpy enough, one is in love with his father's concubine, and the other is in love with his nominal sister.
Li Yun saw that he seemed to be listening, and poured a glass of wine from the table and handed it to him, "You'er, over the years, Yun has always had a bad time in his heart. That was the first thing...... Believe it or not, Yun is indeed unaware. If Yun knew in advance that Liu Qingqing would be so ruthless, Yun would definitely stop her ......"
His name was You'er, his name when he was a child. Once upon a time, the three brothers read and practiced calligraphy together in the school, he and Yun were always inferior to the eldest brother in their homework, and they were greedy for fun, and the two of them secretly drew villains under the desks, and then they were caught by Mr. and punished for copying "Mencius" together.
He was young and slow to write, and he couldn't finish writing, so he stole a few pages from the paper he had already written. Yun knew it, but he didn't criticize him, he just sighed helplessly, "You'er!" Then silently copied a few more pages.
Yun was not raised by his mother's side, so he spent relatively less time together. Li Heng has always been closer to his eldest brother, but in the end, he is a brother, and there have been many juvenile memories between him and Yun.
The eldest brother is no longer here, he once resented the second brother, why did his brother do such a poisonous thing. But after a long time, the resentment slowly faded, and in the end, in this world, only the second brother and him are the closest relatives whose blood is thicker than water.
