【Chapter 36: The Beginning is the Time of New Grace】(2)
Yang Yuhuan was not angry or complaining, but there were tears in his eyes. She always held her neck and refused to let the tears fall.
"You can kill me, or let him kill me, but don't think I'll kill myself."
Xiao Jiangyuan's eyes sparkled as he looked at Yang Yuhuan.
After a long time, she smiled slightly, and solemnly lowered her head and arched her hand: "It's the old slave who lost his words, please forgive the princess." ”
Only then did Yang Yuhuan react, and he had just poured out the words in his heart in front of Xiao Jiangyuan. She didn't regret it, and she didn't even feel that she had said it enough. She just felt strange that there were few interactions between herself and Xiao Jiangyuan, so why did she suddenly talk deeply, as if she was very relieved of her?
Seeing Xiao Jiangyuan smiling lightly as usual, but his eyes were gentle, and there was no trace of dissatisfaction or incomprehension about Fang Cai's remarks, Yang Yuhuan felt that he seemed to have found the answer-
Xiao Jiangyuan really understands and agrees with herself, she can even understand her feelings, so that she treats her as usual, which is what makes Yang Yuhuan the most comfortable.
She is clearly a eunuch old enough to be her father, no matter her experience, gender and identity, how can she not seem to be a confidant who can understand her?
Yang Yuhuan could already imagine what kind of letters Uncle Aya and brothers and sisters in the clan would write to her if she knew that she was favored by the Son of Heaven when even her husband stood by and watched. She didn't want anyone to understand and care about her feelings, but today she was biased against Xiao Jiangyuan.
She suddenly couldn't help it, and Douda's tears fell from her eyes one after another, connecting into a line.
"It's not Ah Weng's fault, but I, I poured all my anger on Ah Weng regardless of it, I'm sorry ......"
Hearing Yang Yuhuan sniffle, Xiao Jiangyuan raised his eyes. She was stunned for a moment, then took out a handkerchief and handed it to Yang Yuhuan.
For Yang Yuhuan, eunuchs are no different from men, so she didn't take Xiao Jiangyuan's handkerchief, but simply wiped it with her cuffs, and wanted to cover it up: "I have my own ......"
Xiao Jiangyuan didn't poke it, and took the handkerchief back indifferently, and saw that Yang Yuhuan quickly stopped sobbing. She was a little surprised, so she listened to Yang Yuhuan say:
"I'm still young, I still have a long life, and I can't waste all my time being sad. If I am with him, will I be free to do whatever I like, and there will be no one to restrain me, and no one will bully me? If he really likes me, he should move faster, I don't want to stay here any longer. ”
Xiao Jiangyuan asked Yang Yuhuan to rest assured, and set off to Li Linfu's mansion.
Yang Yuhuan's optimism and freedom reminded Xiao Jiangyuan of Lu Yunniang. The difference is that Lu Yunniang does not have too high requirements for life, she is content and happy, and everything goes naturally, while Yang Yuhuan is like a fire that refuses to be extinguished, not only to burn arbitrarily, but also to set fire to the prairies.
She compromises and refuses to compromise, and will not let go of her demands for fate because of this. She will question, even if she wants to be perfect, she will never be wronged. She is really living for herself, simple-minded, and straightforward in her behavior.
Such a person should not be bruised in order to fight against fate.
- Like Xiao Jiangyuan.
Li Linfu's mansion is in Pingkangfang. Xiao Jiangyuan rode over, as soon as he entered the door, he could see a carved fence painting building covered with red and hanging green, and the lanterns painted with different patterns were crisscrossed and hung on several roads, colorful and splendid, and dazzling.
It was afternoon at the moment, and Xiao Jiangyuan couldn't see the benefits, but she knew that when the dusk drum sounded, the door closed, and the curfew began, this Pingkang Fang would be able to wake up and change to another world.
——In Chang'an City, most of the green buildings are in this Pingkangfang.
She turned a blind eye and went straight to Li Linfu's mansion, only to find that today's mansion was heavily guarded, and even the person in charge of communication looked like a great enemy.
Hearing that Xiao Jiangyuan came over in person, Li Linfu not only scolded the man, but also came out to greet him in person, regardless of the pain.
Xiao Jiangyuan saw that Li Linfu's face was bloodless, and there seemed to be injuries on his body. After entering the house, she learned that the prime minister of the court was assassinated on the street, and Jing Zhaoyin had no choice but to do so.
Li Linfu wanted to take this opportunity to deal with a few political enemies, but feeling the knife wound in his waist and abdomen, he didn't dare to act rashly.
This is the first time he is so close to death, and when he faced Xiao Jiangyuan, he still lost a little of his former calmness: "Since Princess Shou is obedient, isn't it easy to handle things?" ”
Xiao Jiangyuan glanced at Li Linfu lightly and said, "From tomorrow, Xiao will send a team of flying dragon soldiers to follow Xianggong as the honor guard of the prime minister of the current dynasty." After Xianggong enters the palace, it goes without saying that he is safe, but how to protect himself when he returns to his home depends on Xianggong's own. ”
In the house, Li Linfu has his own way, what he is worried about is that on the way to and from the house, as the prime minister, there can be no private soldiers, Xiao Jiangyuan can be regarded as solving his urgent need. Only then did he calm down a lot, and pulled out a smile: "You don't want to know how to solve the matter of Princess Shou, you want to figure out how I planned to help the saint and solve your identity, right?" ”
Xiao Jiangyuan smiled lightly: "What's the difference?" ”
"You help the saint like this, aren't you afraid that he will be unhappy?"
Li Linfu couldn't have imagined that the saint was so determined to achieve Xiao Jiangyuan at the beginning, how could he change his mind so quickly. Naturally, he didn't know that Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan had a spiritual connection because of a song, and even if he knew, he would only feel incredible. No matter what he thinks about now, he thinks that this is Li Longji vomiting with Xiao Jiangyuan.
"I'm just following his orders."
"Meaning, if he gets angry because of this, he deserves it?"
“…… That was not what I meant. ”
"Do you really believe that the saint has a crush on his daughter-in-law?"
"You should have seen Princess Shou."
"I've seen it, but I've never dared to look closely. Before that, she was the daughter-in-law of the Empress Zhenshun whom I assisted, and the wife of King Shou. ”
"It's not out of the question that a saint will like her. It's not that you don't know how many concubines he has liked over the years, and Princess Shou is different from them, and the saint's liking for her should be different. ”
"There are many kinds of men's likes. The saints treat you differently. After a pause, Li Linfu said again, "It's very different." ”
"But that's all in the past." Xiao Jiangyuan's tone was a little heavier, "Don't test me anymore, now that I have made a decision and choice, I will not turn back." ”
"If you really help the saint do this, it will be difficult to turn back." Li Linfu sighed slowly, "First of all, we must dissolve the husband and wife relationship between King Shou and Princess Shou, but it can't be divorced or divorced, whether it is the prince divorced his wife or the prince and the princess reconciled, it is rare in the world, and it will definitely attract attention, and what this matter needs is to be as calm and gentle as possible, you have to think about it yourself, I don't believe you can't think of it." Then when this limelight passes, and then the marriage of King Shou is resolved, and when Princess Shou is appointed as the concubine of the Son of Heaven, the identity of Princess Shou herself is changed, and it looks like another person, and it is okay. ”
"Isn't this just covering your ears and stealing the bell?"
"It's okay to get by on face, and the saint doesn't expect everyone in the world to be blind and deaf. Besides, the saint has been sitting firmly in the country for thirty years, who dares to say anything about his private affairs? ”
“…… I see. ”
At the end of the twenty-eighth year of Kaiyuan, Princess Shou was called to accompany her in Tangquan Palace in Lishan.
On the second day of the first month of the 29th year of Kaiyuan, Li Longji's biological mother Empress Dowager Zhaocheng died on the day of her death, and Princess Shou Yang "invited" herself to be a female Taoist priest to pray for the Empress Dowager Zhaocheng.
At the same time, he told the harem that Yang Yuhuan was courteous like a queen, and he could be called "lady" for the time being.
This title was coined by Li Longji himself, which is not only a general term for women in the world, but also refers to his own hostess.
When the Taizhen Temple was not built, Yang Yuhuan first lived in the Yuzhen Temple of Princess Yuzhen.
Princess Yuzhen hadn't heard a little wind before, but now she saw Yang Yuhuan directly in her Taoist temple, she was very surprised, and pulled Xiao Jiangyuan, who accompanied her to settle down, and walked aside: "What's going on?" ”
Xiao Jiangyuan briefly spoke, and finally said: "The lady is right, it's not her fault. ”
"It's not an ordinary woman...... Princess Yuzhen looked at Yang Yuhuan, "what I said is very much to my taste." It's just that...... You really don't have anything? ”
"Xiao used to oppose it because of the identity of Princess Shou, but now that the identity problem has been solved, there is nothing to oppose."
"I'm asking...... Your heart. ”
Xiao Jiangyuan suddenly remembered the Lishan Tangquan Palace not long ago. In the newly completed Hall of Eternal Life, the dark incense floats, and there are depressing or cheerful sounds, which are ambiguously transmitted outside the hall.
That voice was just commonplace to the other palace eunuchs who were accompanying him, but to Xiao Jiangyuan, it was both familiar and unfamiliar.
This is the first time that Li Longji has not avoided her when he pampered others.
All the voices in the hall, whether it is the mutual teasing and teasing of the two, Li Longji's warmth or gentleness, or Yang Yuhuan's indomitable and anti-customer-oriented, lingering, ups and downs, she can clearly hear them.
She sat on her knees outside the temple all night.
The next morning, listening to Li Longji's call in the hall, she was busy getting up, but she suddenly felt a pain in her knees, her legs suddenly lost strength, and she fell to the ground again.
Li Longji's voice was a little impatient, and the sound of his footsteps also came from far and near. When he first walked outside the hall, his eyes were still full of spring, and when he saw Xiao Jiangyuan struggling to stand up, but he couldn't do anything, his eyes changed and wandered a little.
"There's no hurry. You have a good rest today, and let Wang Chengen and them come in and serve. ”
With that, he walked back into the temple.
Xiao Jiangyuan could still hear it, Li Longji called Yang Yuhuan to get up, but Yang Yuhuan muttered in return:
"I can get up whenever I want."
Li Longji was speechless for a while, and finally had to agree: "Okay, it's all up to you." ”
The swan song of the Tang Dynasty
