【Chapter 45: Six Palaces Pink Dai No Color】(1)
It wasn't until the crown prince made a statement that Li Longji's anger really subsided. At this time, half a year has passed since the incident on Shangyuan Night.
The court and even the East Palace have temporarily restored tranquility, one is that Li Longji has strictly ordered this matter to end here, and no further mention is allowed, and the other is that even without Xiao Jiangyuan's dissuasion, Li Linfu knows that it is time to stop.
"The prince of a dignified country was forced to lose his position suddenly by the right minister, his cronies were almost scattered, and even the crown princess was abandoned, which is really unheard of."
On the street outside the wall of Jiang's house in Guangfufang, Xiao Jiangyuan and Li Linfu stood around the corner, watching more than a dozen slaves carry large and small boxes into the house. Hearing that although Xiao Jiangyuan had no sarcasm, but obviously meant something, Li Linfu pulled the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the saints have spoken, I won't chase after them, if you lose the favor of the saints because of this, isn't it because of the small losses that outweigh the losses?" ”
In the past, Xiao Jiangyuan intervened tightly, and Li Linfu felt jealous and tricky, but now Xiao Jiangyuan looks like he has nothing to do with himself, and Li Linfu is quite unhappy. How could he not know that he seemed to have won a big victory this time, but in fact he made a wedding dress for Li Longji? And as long as he helps Li Longji, it will be Xiao Jiangyuan's wish.
Seeing Xiao Jiangyuan nodding leisurely, as if the breeze was blowing willows, Li Linfu pouted and said, "Besides, how could the prince be forced by me?" Could it be that I asked Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming to gather at Jinglongguan on the night of Shangyuan? Did I ask the prince not to stay in the East Palace honestly and run out to meet Wei Jian? The will is all given by the saints, is it possible that I am as powerful as me, and I can still control what the saints think? ”
Xiao Jiangyuan glanced at Li Linfu lightly: "Can you say these words to that cousin?" ”
Li Linfu: "......"
"I'm afraid that if I say it, Mrs. Jiang won't believe it, otherwise you won't let me come forward and take Mrs. Jiang back to the house." Xiao Jiangyuan smiled slightly, "Since I have already come forward, why do you want to come here in person?" ”
"Revisit."
"If you really want to revisit the old place, why doesn't the right minister go in and hide here to peek?"
“…… Don't look at me like that. I have never been emotionally impressed with my cousin, and I am by no means shameless in the face of her. Is there something wrong with what I'm doing? No. Since my uncle's death, if it weren't for me, would his Jiang family be where it is today? I owe her nothing, and I took her back for the sake of my late uncle. As if remembering something interesting, Li Linfu suddenly laughed, "The last time I came, my cousin got married, and I stopped Wei Jian, who was the groom at the time, at that door. Over the years, nothing has changed there......"
The last cage has been moved into the house, and the matter has been completed, Xiao Jiangyuan turned around and boarded his carriage: "Is the right minister going back to the house, or is he going to sit with me?" ”
"Aren't you unwilling to let Ji Qi and Xiao Fulie come to the door anymore, and you can still tolerate me?" Although Li Linfu asked, he still got into the carriage without saying anything, not giving Xiao Jiangyuan a chance to refuse. As soon as he entered, he was slightly stunned.
The outside of this carriage does not look like Erer, but there is a hole inside, and it is obvious that someone has specially picked it up. Even if people who don't understand it, they probably still feel that they are too low-key and not worthy of Xiao Jiangyuan's identity, but in fact, every tree and splendid scenery are worth a lot of money, and they are all comfortable and delicate in moisturizing things silently, which is not the point - in addition to Xiao Jiangyuan, there are still people sitting in this car...... Wet?
Seeing that Li Linfu's gaze fell on Mao Ying's body, Xiao Jiangyuan said: "He is afraid of being recognized, so he always refuses to leave the house, if I leave the house, I always go back to Xingqing Palace, and today it is rare to go elsewhere, so he insisted on following." ”
Li Linfu didn't think about it so much, since Mao Ying had already entered Xiao Jiangyuan's mansion, he acquiesced to Mao Ying's male pet identity, anyway, as long as the saint didn't know. What is the service in the car, they are counted in the car...... When he saw it, he would only silently help them close the curtain, and then use his prime minister's guard of honor to clear the road and escort them to clear the field.
But today, when they heard Xiao Jiangyuan's tone, the two of them ...... Isn't it that there at all?
Li Linfu clearly should breathe a sigh of relief, but after realizing this, he couldn't help but sigh: "Why are you doing this? ”
Mao Ying was pouring tea for Li Linfu, and she was slightly stunned when she heard the words.
Xiao Jiangyuan asked rhetorically: "What does the right phase mean?" ”
Li Linfu's eyes rippled towards Mao Ying's body: "The former Taizhen lady is now a concubine." This new identity gave the concubine a new life, and at the same time gave it to the saint, naturally...... We also have our share. ”
Li Linfu's reaction surprised Xiao Jiangyuan: "The right minister is not ......"
"One time, another time." Li Linfu picked up the teacup and looked at the respectful appearance of the young man while drinking, but the words were said to Xiao Jiangyuan, "Or did you regret it when you should be relieved?" ”
"The right minister has a lot to say today." Xiao Jiangyuan smiled leisurely, "I have always been benevolent, even if I suffer myself, I have never regretted it." ”
People have reason and feelings, and reason can be controlled, but feelings cannot be controlled by themselves. She can accept it, but it doesn't mean that she will be swayed by it.
"Really? Can General Xiao give me the hair? ”
Li Linfu's topic changed very quickly, but Xiao Jiangyuan still understood that his mind was changing. While her body stiffened, she spoke lightly, but it seemed to be loud: "No." ”
Xiao Jiangyuan has always been gentle and good-tempered, but this reputation is not just based on the surface. She is thoughtful and always takes into account everyone's feelings, even if she refuses, she is mostly gentle and drizzly, and rarely so straightforward.
Li Linfu was not angry, but chuckled. Until they arrived at Xiao Jiangyuan's mansion, there was no more words along the way.
As soon as Xiao Jiangyuan got out of the carriage, he saw Bian Lingcheng pacing at the door of the house with an anxious face. Her heart sank, and her eyebrows also revealed a bit of solemnity: "What happened in the palace, why do you want you to come out of the palace to find me in person?" ”
Bian Lingcheng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xiao Jiangyuan. He pulled Xiao Jiangyuan aside and whispered, "It's terrible, the saint and the concubine are arguing!" ”
“…… Don't they quarrel often? ”
From disputes to resentment, there are countless of them, and the more they quarrel, the better the relationship, Xiao Jiangyuan has long been surprised.
"This time is different, the saint has returned the concubine to the private residence!"
This was indeed unexpected by Xiao Jiangyuan, but I am afraid that no one expected it. Bian Lingcheng was in a hurry to find her, presumably Li Longji had also lost his normality, and they couldn't persuade him.
It's so weird.
Xiao Jiangyuan was suspicious, and immediately stopped delaying, and after bidding farewell to Li Linfu, he rode on the horse that was well prepared and whipped away.
"You're so thin, no wonder she doesn't like you." Before leaving, Li Linfu glanced at Mao Ying meaningfully, took a few steps closer, and laughed in a low voice, "She likes to be like a saint, even if she is old, she is as majestic as a prime of life, strong and powerful, and not inferior to others." ”
Li Linfu thought that Mao Ying would be ashamed, but he didn't want him not only didn't, but also pondered for a while before he said:
"Thank you for your pointing."
No way? This man...... Could it be that Xiao Jiangyuan is sincere?
Li Linfu stared at Mao Ying unexpectedly for a while, shook his head and left.
Xiao Jiangyuan's affairs, if he has time and is willing to take care of it, this person's affairs have nothing to do with him.
It's really pitiful, with someone in front of him, Xiao Jiangyuan will not change his mind in this life. This young man, do it yourself.
After Xiao Jiangyuan entered the Xingqing Palace, he went straight to the Nanxun Hall where Li Longji was, and listened to Bian Lingcheng explain the cause and effect of the matter in detail along the way.
Why did Li Longji send Yang Yuhuan back to his private residence? It was clearly for the sake of the face of the Son of Heaven that he deliberately said this - Yang Yuhuan ran back by himself.
The cause is "jealousy" at best, and "disloyalty" at worst.
It's no wonder that Li Longji has paid too much attention to pleasure for many years, and once ordered the flower and bird envoys to select beautiful girls from the people every three years to send them to the palace to enrich the harem. The flower and bird envoy has never received Li Longji's order to prohibit it, and this year, according to the usual practice, he sent another batch to the palace.
Xiao Jiangyuan was in charge of these things before, so naturally there was nothing, but since last year, there has been a concubine in the palace, the master of the harem, and many things have to be decided by Yang Yuhuan, and this group of girls was the first to be sent to Yang Yuhuan.
Knowing the definition of the position of flower and bird envoy and the true identity of these girls, Yang Yuhuan was angry.
If it was a few years ago, when she first came to Li Longji's side, she might still be able to bear it, after all, at that time, she thought that Li Longji was just an emperor's favor to her, and she couldn't last long. But who knew that after getting along, she found that Li Longji treated her sincerely, so she regarded Li Longji as a real husband.
The concubines who have existed in the palace since before, she gets along with them so well, and she is still unwilling to share Li Longji, let alone these newcomers? What she can't accept the most is that Li Longji has her, and he still has to continue to recruit beauties, what does this mean? How old is he and still so indulgent and profligate, how valuable is his sincerity, what does he think of her?
In the past, when she was a Taoist aunt, she was still his "lady", but now she has become a righteous concubine, how can she feel wronged?
These girls were innocent after all, so Yang Yuhuan ordered someone to settle them down temporarily, and then sent someone to invite Li Longji over.
Li Longji forgot that there was such a thing, but Yang Yuhuan didn't buy his reason at all. He already thought that the three thousand beauties in the harem of the Son of Heaven should be taken for granted, even if there were these beauties, it didn't mean that he had to be pampered. Although he felt that Yang Yuhuan was making a fuss, he still put down the dignity of the Son of Heaven several times to coax, but it was to no avail.
"Okay, okay, don't be angry."
"I was wrong. How about I promise you not to touch those women, and not even to look at them? ”
"I have long forgotten about this matter, and I did not specially order the flower and bird envoys to be selected into the palace, so you can forgive me this time."
"There won't be a next time, so don't bother me."
Yang Yuhuan listened to these words, and only felt more and more angry. Since Li Longji didn't understand her at all, she said straightforwardly: "For San Lang, this may be normal, but I can't accept it." ”
The swan song of the Tang Dynasty
