Chapter 217: Father and Son Centrifuge
Li Heng actually didn't leave Penglai Palace, Luoluo refused to see him, he had to stay in the side hall and wait, thinking about how to go back and explain to Luoluo.
When such a thing happened, in fact, the pain in his heart was no less than that of Nian Yun. Luoluo is the person he swore to protect for the rest of his life since he was ** years old, when he was in the main hall, he shouted in front of the civil and military ministers that he wanted to marry Princess Taihe, and it was not just a child's words.
Although since he was a teenager, he has slowly been approached by other girls, but the most important position in his heart has always been reserved for Luoluo.
As a man from the Li family's royal family, the orthodox education he received since he was a child told him that spreading branches and leaves was also an equally important thing. Even though his father cherished his mother as much as he did in his life, in fact he still had concubines.
For him, growing up is a process of constantly seeing new and exciting temptations. The royal relatives who traveled with him had taken him to see too many sensual dogs and horses, and the young man did a lot of ridiculous things under this inexplicable temptation.
But he couldn't have imagined that those women who were gentle and obedient like a kitten by his side would turn into blue-faced fanged ghosts when they turned around, and actually stretched out their sharp claws to his most cherished woman and secretly ruthlessly?
It wasn't until this day, when he was really about to lose her, that he realized the boundless fear, as if someone had been pushed down the deep water from the canoe, and his heart was almost suffocating.
She has been hurt so badly, and the world still wants to blame her!
What's even more terrifying is that he heard the conversation between His Majesty and his mother in the side hall, and in this knowing what happened, His Majesty actually decided to let him marry Wang Jinxiang's cousin instead!
Li Heng felt that when he heard His Majesty say something like that, he was about to rush out of the side hall to reason with His Majesty, but the eunuch beside him hugged him tightly and covered his mouth to prevent him from going out to conflict with His Majesty.
Later, when he heard his mother arguing with His Majesty, his tears flowed inexplicably.
Mother has always treated them so well, but Your Majesty is so cold-blooded.
He heard His Majesty's footsteps go away, and the strength of holding him slowly relaxed. Li Heng squatted on the ground, hid his face and cried.
He had never been so vulnerable until he heard Luoluo's hoarse "You go out", until he heard that His Majesty intended to set his fate so rashly.
I don't know how long it took for him to come out of the side hall, and his mother was not in the main hall, I don't know if she was in the fallen room or went out.
He walked to the door of the room, raised his hand and prepared to knock on the door, but finally put it down, only leaned on the door and listened for a moment, and walked out a little dejected.
Walking forward, not far away is the Zichen Palace.
Shiquan pulled the placket of his clothes, and Li Heng came back to his senses, but he suddenly walked towards the Zichen Palace.
That's his marriage, why can't he make his own decisions?
His Majesty was reviewing the fold in the side hall, and when he saw him coming in, he didn't raise his head, "Heng'er, come and see this fold, in order to control the flooding of the Yellow River, Emperor Taizong has been digging the canal, but until now he has not been able to completely solve the problem......"
Li Heng took the fold handed over by His Majesty, but gently put it aside, knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, my son heard that His Majesty wanted to marry his son, and I came to ask to see him." ”
Li Chun was slightly stunned, raised his head, and the red pen swam a red dot on the fold. He frowned and put the pen down, "What do you want to say?" ”
Li Heng kowtowed three times on the ground, "If Your Majesty wants your son to marry Wang Jinxiang's cousin as the crown princess, forgive your son for not being able to obey." In the son's heart, the only princess is the princess, if that person is not her, the son will never marry the concubine in this life. ”
"Presumptuous!" Li Chun slapped the case, and the folds piled up on the case trembled.
Li Heng stubbornly lowered his head and remained silent. It was at this moment that Li Chun suddenly felt that this son's temper was like Nianyun.
It's just a temper like her, but why can't you be like her? If his talents and wisdom were half as good as his father and mother, he, as a father, would not have worked so hard to pave the way for him!
These countless emperors throughout the ages have been unwilling to stick to the rules, willful and reckless, mediocre, and reckless. This is not terrible, what is terrible is that an emperor with mediocre talent still refuses to follow many rules in this world, and prefers to act rashly.
Why didn't his son understand that he didn't object to Princess Taihe being the crown princess in the past, it was because Princess Taihe herself had a certain talent and courage. But now, she herself has begun to lose heart, and she has taken on such a reputation that is criticized by people all over the world, which has done more harm than good to the rule of Datang!
Li Heng didn't know it, and was still trying to impress him with his feelings, "My father was in love with my mother back then, didn't he try his best not to marry her?" Why does the son want to marry the woman he likes, but he can't? ”
He married Nianyun because he was in love with her? Oh, that's not the case. At that time, the first emperor and King Shu were fighting so fiercely, where did he still have time to fall in love! It's just that he was lucky to meet such a good one.
Li Chun glanced at him heavily, "Heng'er, I and your mother were originally just the orders of our parents, and we also have complicated entanglements of interests. The emperor's family, don't be too capricious. ”
Li Heng still knelt on the ground, muttered for a long time, and said: "If you can't get what you want, my son would rather not be this prince." Let the second brother be a good one, don't the second brother really want to be the prince......"
With a "snap", a loud slap fell on Li Heng's face. He looked up at his father in disbelief, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he had never done anything to his children!
There was a thunder on the flat ground, and the weather outside, which was originally still windy and sunny, changed when it was said, and it rained heavily for a while.
Li Chun looked at his hands, and then at the prince who was covering his face in disbelief, and felt irritable for no reason. He ignored the heavy rain outside, pointed to the outside of the hall, and his whole face was trembling: "Rebel, you get out of here, I don't want to see you!" ”
Li Heng gritted his teeth, really stood up, turned around and plunged into the pouring rain.
Li Chun sat in the middle of the hall, the cold wind and raindrops blew in from outside the door, and he only felt the coolness coming out of his bones. Such loneliness, maybe Nianyun can understand, but her heart is not hard enough, and even she persuades him not to do this.
The heavy wooden door creaked and opened wider, Li Chun thought it was the wind, and when he looked up, he saw a tall and thin figure, holding an oil-paper umbrella and appearing outside the door, holding a package in his hand.
He took the umbrella, put it aside against the wall, and saluted with both hands holding the package: "Slave Xue Qixi, on the order of the noble concubine, I will send a newly made cloak to Your Majesty." ”
As soon as the sky changed, she could think of bringing him clothes. They also got married because of entanglements of interests, and he knew that he was a lucky man.
He greeted with a small expression, "Qixi, come and sit with me for a while." ”
Seven Hi walked up to him, shook off the package, and tied the cloak around him. The hem of Qixi's clothes was soaked, leaving a trail of dark water on the ground, but the cloak in his arms was dry and warm.
Seven Up fastened his cloak and stood to the side with his hands down.
Li Chun sighed: "Since I was ten years old, my food and clothing have been taken care of by Lilacs, so she is my childhood sweetheart?" He thought for a moment, but smiled again, "It's a pity that since I met Nianyun, my whole heart is on her." You say, can't Heng'er have such an opportunity? ”
Qixi stood behind Li Chun with his head down, so Li Chun didn't see the strong emotion flashing in his eyes.
Childhood sweethearts, what a beautiful memory, but later falling in love with someone else doesn't seem to be so difficult. It's a pity that he is a eunuch, he is not so lucky, even if he loves, he can only love.
Qixi just thinks that the girl who is a childhood sweetheart is too pitiful.
If you can forget about each other in the rivers and lakes, you can find another lover to raise your eyebrows, if not, how desolate will it be?
Qixi took a deep breath and knelt down in front of Li Chun: "Your Majesty, the slave thinks that it is not appropriate to marry the daughter of the Wang family as a concubine for His Royal Highness the Prince." Although His Majesty is for the good of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and for the sake of the stability of the Tang Dynasty, it is unfair to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or Princess Taihe, and I am afraid it is difficult to accept emotionally. ”
Knowing that although His Majesty kept him in the main hall, he didn't want to hear such an opposition, but Qixi still said what was in his heart.
Sure enough, Li Chun snorted coldly, "Feelings, when will the prince of the Tang Dynasty be able to be so emotional?" ”
Qixi had never tried to be so disobedient as today, and said softly: "If Your Majesty is worried that Princess Taihe will be criticized by all the people in the world, you might as well let the daughter of the Wang family and Princess Taihe be the side concubines of the crown prince, if the daughter of the Wang family really did not do evil with her sister, I believe that His Royal Highness and Princess Taihe will naturally be able to see everything and live in harmony......"
"Shut up!" Li Chun suddenly stood up and said coldly, "Did the concubine send you to persuade me?" I have made up my mind, you don't need to say any more, just step down! ”
He didn't know that his son's biggest weakness was probably Luoluo. If he is also a side concubine, he will definitely obviously favor one person.
At that time, Luoluo was burdened with such a stain, and secondly, if she restored her identity as the county lord, her father was King Shu, not to mention her sensitive identity, and her status was not higher than that of Wang's daughter, how could she deal with herself in the future? When the time comes, won't the chickens fly and the dogs jump, and the house will be restless!
If you want to solve this problem, the best way should be to cut off this evil relationship directly, and simply the long pain is better than the short pain, forcing them to separate, so that they can be well and forget about each other.
If you don't marry the prince, you will still be a princess in the end, and in the future, you will choose a person with better character and knowledge from the Jinshi who is slightly lower in the door to be a concubine.
But they are too persistent to understand such a truth.
