This year has been eventful, and Li Dan, who has always been introverted, has also tossed up a lot of movements. He had already married the granddaughter of Liu Dewei, the secretary of the Criminal Department, as a concubine, and there were also widows such as Dou Lu's, Cui's, Wang's, etc., although there were no flocks of Yingyan around him, but it was by no means an empty backyard. Li Dan has always believed in Taoism, and he is young and selfish and has few desires, not to mention that he will be confused by women. However, this time, he did collide with the Empress Wu for the sake of a woman.

Recklessly entered the palace and asked for marriage straightforwardly, if Li Xian acted like this, Empress Wu would not be surprised, but Li Dan was like this, Empress Wu was really a little surprised, and even unhappy.

"What did you say the woman's name was?" Empress Wu asked again, but it was not that she didn't hear clearly.

Li Dan knelt on the ground and repeated: "Dou Yuyan." ”

"But will she be the great-granddaughter of the master Dou Kang?" Empress Wu then asked.

"After returning to my mother, exactly."

Empress Wu's heart was very clear, and she said unhurriedly: "I have heard of this woman for a long time, and I heard that she is talented and beautiful, and she is docile and virtuous, and abides by etiquette...... His grandfather is Dali Qing and Xin Guogong Dou Dan, and his father is Dou Xiaochen, the assassin of Runzhou, and he is also from a family. ”

Li Dan felt a burst of joy in his heart, thinking that since his mother had praised her like this, she would marry Yuyan as a widow, and she wanted to thank her, but Wu Hou spoke again: "It's a pity that several of her brothers, Dou Xiqiu, Dou Xixuan, and Dou Xiqiu, are all greedy people with very bad reputations, Dan'er, you don't know, right?" You must not be carried away by Dou's beauty, and thus make a big mistake. ”

"Erchen just wants to marry Yuyan, and Yuyan is flawless." Li Dan showed a stubborn side.

Empress Wu had a gloomy face, but said with a smile: "Do you think that who you like and who you dislike is just your personal matter, in this case, why do you bother to enter the palace to report, by your own temperament, wouldn't it be more free?" ”

Li Dan softened his attitude, "Mother, it's the son who said the wrong thing." ”

Empress Wu saw that he changed his title instead of "Queen Mother" and called "Mother", just like the folk mother and son get along, there was a subtle change in her heart, but her tone was still the same, "Dan'er, it stands to reason that with your character, you must have moved your heart to mention this kind of thing, and I can naturally understand it, but you are the prince after all, such an identity is glory and bondage, and you must not be able to do what you want...... Besides, if it is for a woman, it hurts the royal dignity and family affection, it is really going to make people laugh. ”

"The son didn't think about it deeply, which made the mother worried. It's just that Yuyan is not light for me, I can afford it, but I can't give it up. Please also ask the mother to be considerate. Li Dan kowtowed, trying his best to speak tactfully.

Seeing that he was sincere and sincere, Empress Wu was not suitable to say those preaching words again, and became a little kinder, "You get up quickly, because this little thing will not make such a big gift, I can't stand it." ”

He glanced at the spring cherry blossoms serving on the side, and seemed to ask, "Can you watch it?" ”

Chun Ying's face was already gray, her eyes were red, in order not to lose her honor in front of the Empress Wu, she forced a smile, "Your Royal Highness is affectionate and righteous, the mother is open-minded and tolerant, and the slave maid is really touched." ”

Empress Wu snorted coldly, not knowing who she was laughing at, "You young people's thoughts, I am too lazy to look at them anyway, too lazy to pay attention to them, it is better to turn a blind eye." ”

A layer of fine sweat oozed from Li Dan's forehead, "The son promised his mother that if he marries the Dou family, he will definitely restrain his mind and never do any more cranky thoughts." ”

"Forget it." Empress Wu made a deep voice, "Marriage and marriage, I can't force it, it goes against your will, and I want to say that I am unreasonable, it is better to go along with you, and everyone will be happy." ”

"Thank you mother for being open-minded." Only then did Li Dan put down a hanging heart.

Haruka watched in despair as she watched it happen, powerless to stop it, or even release all her grief. It turned out that patience was like a blunt knife, cutting on the heart, and at first it was not touched, but when it became conscious, it was already drenched in blood and pain.

Empress Wu raised her hand behind her ear and lazily moved her head and neck, "Stand down, I need to clean up for a while." ”

Li Dan bowed and left, and Chun Ying looked at him, the corners of her lips twitched violently, she thought that if he could look at her at such a time, she would definitely feel much better. However, Li Dan treated her as non-existent from beginning to end.

"The slave maid will send off His Royal Highness the Prime Minister." This is a bold request.

Empress Wu didn't get angry, and made a gesture, which was accurate.

Haruka's gratitude to Empress Wu reached a new peak at this moment.

Li Dan knew that Chun Ying would inevitably chase after her, so he strode forward, fantasizing that he could leave her far behind. He has an indescribable boredom with her, and an inexplicable taboo.
