Sometimes there must be something in life (3)

Although the Taiji Palace is as quiet and solemn as ever, it is not as quiet and sad as elsewhere. As usual, no one dared to say a word here, the palace maids and eunuchs were trained to walk, never making any footsteps, even the birds in the trees kept their mouths shut, and everything was of the highest quality: quiet.

This kind of silence was broken by Xiao Xiang gorgeously, she walked forward, although the shoes were soft-soled, she was still able to step on the effect of high heels, and the footsteps sounded in the palace, with a hint of echo, and the palace maid on the side of the direct teaching looked straight.

Li Shimin was reviewing the folds at this time, and when he heard the footsteps coming, he couldn't help frowning slightly, but he stretched out again: The only one who can be so presumptuous is the Gaoyang princess who can treat the emperor as nothing.

Sure enough, before the eunuch could report, Xiao Xiang broke in from outside, saw Li Shimin, and made a symbolic salute: "Xiang'er has seen my father." "She knows how to read people's faces, when she can be rude, when she must be emperor. At this moment, Li Shimin looked tired, and what he needed was not his son, but his daughter.

"Get up quickly, come to my father's side." Li Shimin looked at her lovingly and beckoned. Xiao Xiang glanced at him and felt a little emotion in his heart...... Ruthless is the most emperor's family. Concubine Yang, who was so favored, died, but she didn't see a trace of sadness on Li Shimin's face. Rao was like this, she still came to Li Shimin's side and knelt down.

Li Shimin gently stroked the top of her head, his big hand slid over her silky hair, and he didn't say anything for a while. Then he let out a long sigh: "Xiang'er, you have grown up." ”

Xiao Xiang looked up a little uncertainly, and saw the light in Li Shimin's eyes flickering, as if he was recalling something through the space in front of him. Before she could speak, she heard him say again: "Back then...... Your mother...... It was also when I met me at such an old age. She sat on the railing, her clothes blown by the wind...... Like a fairy in the sky. ”

Xiao Xiang's heart suddenly flashed with excitement, mother? Could it be that Motoyoshi's concubine?

Li Shimin smiled on his lips, obviously caught up in the memories of the past: "I stepped forward to hold her hand, but she fell into the water because of panic...... What a timid person. I, Li Shimin, have never seen someone as timid as your mother in my life...... She's timid, and people can't help but want to protect her. ”

"Father...... My mother ......" she opened her mouth with a little doubt, knowing that when others tell stories, giving appropriate feedback will make people happier when they tell stories.

Li Shimin sighed, looking a little sad: "When she gave birth to you, she died in childbirth. Xiang'er, you have to remember that in this world, it is not your father who loves you the most, but your mother. She sacrificed her life for you. Although you have not met her, you must firmly remember that your life was bought by your mother. ”

Xiao Xiang nodded vigorously, but there were infinite doubts in his heart: Why did Li Shimin never let her worship this great concubine? I haven't even looked at her tablet, which doesn't make sense...... Moreover, why did he mention his mother at this time?

As if seeing the confusion in her eyes, Li Shimin let out a long sigh again: "Your mother concubine...... They cannot be worshipped. So, do you remember that my father asked you to go to Dabao'en Temple on July 7 every year to worship? Your mother's ashes were scattered there. ”

There seems to be a profound story behind this, Xiao Xiang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Li Shimin with a longing expression: "Why? Why is my mother ......?"

"You don't have to know." Li Shimin's voice suddenly lowered, and there was sadness in his tone that could not be hidden, "Xiang'er, when you grow up, you should have a family affair." ”

The conversation suddenly turned, but it turned to her. Xiao Xiang suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, Li Shimin was planning to marry her?

"Xiang'er is still young, she doesn't want to get married yet, and she wants to follow her father for the rest of her life." She gritted her teeth and resorted to one of a woman's tricks: coquettishness.

It's a pity that this trick didn't work at all, Li Shimin smiled: "This can't be done, if Xiang'er stays with his father for the rest of his life, it will be delayed for life." ”

Xiao Xiang frowned, and looked at Li Shimin pitifully: "Does my father not like Xiang'er?" Want to drive Xiang'er away? "She was dizzy and wanted to cry, which is the second trick of women: crying.

I hope she doesn't have a chance to make trouble and hang herself, it's too embarrassing.

"Xiang'er," Li Shimin chuckled, "Do you know why your father loves you so much?" ”

Xiao Xiang shook her head, how would she know, wasn't it because of that concubine?

"I have so many sons, so many daughters. But in their eyes, I am only their father, not their father. Everyone scrupulously abides by the courtesy of kings and ministers, and has never been close to me. There was a loneliness in his eyes that couldn't be hidden, "Only Xiang'er will climb onto her father's knees, mess up her father's recital, and throw the inkstone to me, because she wants me to play with her." He looked at Xiao Xiang with an indissoluble pampering in his eyes.

It turns out that no matter who you are, you are all longing for family affection. The emperor is the same, even if he is high, his heart is like a mortal, soft and fragile.

Xiao Xiang gently rested his head on Li Shimin's lap: "Then why did the father still let Xiang'er marry?" After Xiang'er got married, she couldn't always be by her father's side. ”

Li Shimin nodded: "That's true." However, Xiang'er, you also saw it a few days ago, Tu Fan came to ask for marriage. I will never marry you off, but as you grow up day by day, the surrounding countries will flock to you because you are the most favored princess of my Tang Dynasty. If I don't allow it, and you don't get married, it will be very bad for your reputation. Father can't let you be hurt because of his own selfish interests. ”

Xiao Xiang felt that his eyes were getting wet, and suddenly thought of his family in modern times, how sad should they be when the news of his death spread? The same is a father, the emperor is no different from ordinary people.

"So, Xiang'er, I will choose a good son-in-law for you among the courtiers. You don't have to marry out of the capital, I can protect you. No one can bully my baby Xiang'er, and can't bully my most noble princess in Datang!! Li Shimin's tone was firm and could not be vetoed.

Xiao Xiang was moved by his words on the one hand, but secretly called himself bad.

There are only a few people who can make Li Shimin take a fancy to them. The family background must be good, the age must be young, and the trust of Li Shimin must be able to win...... So, who else is there besides Fang Yiai?

Could it be that she can't escape the trajectory of history after all? Could it be that her final fate is still the princess who was killed by a white silk......

She closed her eyes, and suddenly opened them again, her black eyes were as bright as stars in the sky: "But, father, Concubine Yang has just died, she was so good to Xiang'er in the past, just like Xiang'er's mother...... Xiang'er is willing to keep filial piety for her for three years. "There is such a saying in ancient times, as long as she drags on for three years, history will be rewritten, and the person she marries will never be the last love!!

Li Shimin's voice suddenly seemed to be stuck in his throat, but a complicated light flashed in his eyes, and he slowly spoke after a while: "It is precisely because she is gone that I want to marry you as soon as possible...... Otherwise, in three years, ......" he was silent for a moment, "the national teacher has divined a hexagram for you, and if you can't marry before the age of sixteen, you will suffer a great calamity......"

Li Shimin stopped his words and looked at Xiao Xiang fixedly, his tone was undeniable: "This matter is so decided, I will announce it in a few days, you will marry into the Fang family, you will not suffer hardship!" ”
