Chapter 167: Confrontation
"What! Auntie, she's back! β
looked at Gao Yang, who was shocked by the news and stopped moving forward. The eldest grandson said: "Let's talk about it in the Heavenly Mist Pavilion." β
Gao Yang frowned and muttered, "I knew that this palace might as well stay in the tower, so there is-" She turned her head to look at the tower that had been closed again, tensed her lips, and then slowly walked out of the actual temple under the pull of Chai Tianwei.
Shadow Gallery Celestial Pavilion
Located in a garden in the east corner of the Eastern Metropolis, the scenery and style of this garden are no less than the garden in the residences of dignitaries.
It was nearly evening, and three young girls sat in one of the best private rooms on the second floor, and they had avoided the waitings of others, and each stayed in one of the rooms.
Gao Yang, who had not yet changed into plain clothes, sat on the edge of the railing, carrying a wine jug in one hand, and from time to time picked up a piece of dim sum at his feet and threw it into the lake below.
"Weiwei, has Aunt asked you about me?" When it comes to Princess Pingyang, she will not call herself the main palace.
Chai Tianwei, who was sitting cross-legged on the carpet and drinking, hesitated and said, "Well, she asked how you provoked Your Majesty and was locked up in the tower." β
Gao Yang hurriedly turned his head to look at her and asked, "What did you say to her?" β
"IβI'll tell you the truth."
"Ahh Gao Yang slapped his hand on the railing and said angrily: "You won't say you don't know!" β
There is also a reason why Gao Yang is angry. Princess Pingyang has a special status, and she is one of the few people who can govern her, every time Pingyang returns to Beijing, if she gets the news that she is in trouble, it is still a trivial matter to be called to reprimand, and sometimes she is detained in Zhaohua Mansion, and she lives for a whole month and does not let people go out, or do something that makes her lose face.
Many of Li Shimin's princes and princesses have stubborn personalities and disobedience to discipline, and they have all been rectified by Pingyang, but the emperor turns a blind eye to this, so every time Pingyang returns to Kyoto, some people are happy and some are worried, and the sorrow is naturally the noble ladies like Gaoyang, and the happy ones are those who are tossed and miserable by them.
Eldest Sun Xian snorted lightly and interjected: "You can hide your idea from the third princess, if Wei Wei doesn't say it, she will inevitably be reprimanded by her." β
Seeing her help herself speak, Chai Tianwei hurriedly nodded in response, "Yes, yes, you also know that the princess doesn't like me very well," she snorted lightly, "I can't give birth to myself, and of course it will be uncomfortable to see someone else give birth." β
"Vivi!" Eldest Sun Xian snorted lightly and said in a deep voice: "Don't look at the place when you speak." β
It is well known that the three princesses of Pingyang do not have a daughter and a half-son under their knees, but no one dares to joke about this matter on any occasion, although this princess does not support any partisan forces. But there are many people who admire her.
About six years ago, there was a lady in Beijing at a banquet, gossiping with the neighboring table, sarcastically laughing at the third princess is a hen that can't lay eggs, and finally the lord of the lady's family was impeached a few days later by several imperial historians who were not low in the court.
Afterwards, the Central Committee was revealed, and the Beijing Chinese military officials warned their families three times not to criticize Princess Pingyang's affairs outside.
Chai Tianwei's hand holding the wine glass shook and let out a soft "oh", seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff for a while, Changsun Xian softened her tone, "Don't talk about this, Ling, when you go to school in a few days, you remember to apologize to Tongfang Dianxue." β
Gao Yang was still worried about Princess Pingyang's affairs, and when he heard her words, he waved his hand casually, "If you don't go, a small dictionary with a big sesame seed will dare to show the face of the palace." Apologize to him again, and spread the word that there is still a face to meet in this palace. β
Changsun Xian leaned on the cushion behind her, "It's okay if you don't go, Na Ming** handed over the post and took me to the fourth brother's mansion." β
Gao Yang wondered: "What does this have to do with the fourth brother?" β
"It doesn't matter, I just heard that the fourth brother has been sick recently, and it just so happened that you came out, let's go visit together." Changsun Xian didn't tell her that she had been to the Wei Wangfu three times before, the first two times she ate closed-door soup, and the third time she went in, but she waited in the living room for an hour and didn't see anyone.
"What? Fourth brother sick? It's impossible," Gao Yang wondered, "He has always been in good health, you said that if Brother Ruojin is sick, this palace will still believe it." β
Changsun Xian took a sip of wine, and said with a worried look on her face: "It should be true, no matter what, Ming ** will go with me to see it." β
Although Gao Yang was a little unhappy with Li Tai, the king of Wei, at the birthday banquet three months ago, this was just a small friction between brother and sister in the eyes of Changsun Xian, Li Tai did treat Gao Yang a little differently, and Xu met her.
"Okay." Gao Yang is also forgetful, and he doesn't remember that he had a falling out with Li Tai in the apricot garden before entering the tower.
Chai Tianwei's face was a little better, and she interjected: "Then I will go with you too." β
The eldest grandson glanced at her, and was about to answer, when she heard a debate outside the door:
"Miss Childe, there are indeed people in this room, how about the little one change the three of you next door?"
"Xi'er, what do you say?"
"Brother Ke. I wanted a room with a view of the lake, and this one had the best view. β
"Well, don't you hear, you go and tell the people inside, let them change somewhere else, and the cost of today will be counted on this son."
"Childe, thisβthis is a small difficulty, but there is no such rule..."
"It's better not to be strong, Xi'er, let's change places, okay?"
β... I listen to Brother Jin. β
As soon as the last delicate voice fell, the three girls in the house looked towards the door together, and saw that the door, which had not been plugged in from the inside, was pushed open by both hands from the outside.
The two men and one woman standing outside the door were stunned by the three girls in the room.
After seeing the petite and lovely little girl standing between the two outstanding young men, a vague look flashed in her eyes.
"Sister!" Changsun Xi was the first to break this calm, and called out to Changsun Xian with surprise and joy.
Changsun Xian smiled back at her, and said to the waiter who was probing his brain behind several people: "Okay, you go out, we all know each other." β
When the door closed again, there were three more people in the room, Changsun Xi sat down beside Changsun Xian very kindly, Li Ke glanced at her, and walked towards Gao Yang helplessly, while Du Ruojin picked a place near Changsun Xian to sit alone. The atmosphere in the room is coordinated with a hint of a strange sense of disobedience.
Li Ke looked at the lake in the distance and asked, "Gao Yang, aren't you coming out the day after tomorrow?" β
Gao Yang glared at him angrily, "You're mistaken, I could have come out yesterday!" β
The half-brother and sister are not close, especially the third prince Li Ke is the most disgusted Concubine Yang in Gaoyang, she has always been difficult to hide her likes and dislikes, although she is not vicious to Li Ke, but she has no good face.
Li Ke frowned and did not continue the question. Gao Yang is not from his side, the two don't have a bad relationship, but they don't like to talk much, just look at the title, you know that most of the people close to you call Gao Yang the single name "Ling", but call her title.
On the other side, Du Ruojin took the wine glass handed by Chai Tianwei who came to his side, thanked him with a smile, and said to Changsun Xian, who was gently pulling his arm by Changsun Xi to speak:
"I didn't expect to meet you, I knew that I would come out together."
Changsun Xian replied to him: "Brother Ruojin seems to be very busy lately, and I haven't seen you for a few days. β
Du Ruojin's handsome face had a hint of distress, "Isn't it, my father saw that I had been in better health recently, and I was resting in school, so he found a lot of things for me to do, and I didn't even have time to paint." β
Changsun Xi said in a soft voice on the side: "Yes, if I hadn't come to the door with Brother Ke to pester Brother Ruojin today, he wouldn't have come out with us." β
Eldest Sun Xian smiled faintly, "Which son in this capital would be willing to refuse your invitation, and when I saw you, I was dizzy, and I just wanted to agree to everything." β
Although her words are a bit outrageous, but the fact is not much worse, Changsun Xi is not as high-profile as her, she has only begun to get involved in the social circle of Chang'an City in the past two years, although she is not yet thirteen years old, but that trouble-like little face has already had a six-point color.
With time, it is not difficult to imagine her beauty, coupled with her prominent family affairs and the identity of her daughter-in-law, many fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenagers in Beijing secretly gave her the title of the most beautiful girl in Chang'an City in private.
"Yes, yes," Chai Tianwei handed another glass of wine in front of Changsun Xi, and quipped: "It's the coldest-faced fourth brother, if you go to the door in person, I'm afraid he will also entertain him with a good voice." β
The eldest grandson Xiyu suddenly flew up with two red glows with his immature and beautiful face, but replied generously: "The fourth brother is not like you say, he, he..."
Chai Tianwei blushed when she saw her. sat down on the other side of her, reached out and touched her tender little face, "Tsk, don't you say it's not, seeing your little appearance, even I can't wait to promise you anything!" β
"Sister Weiwei!" The eldest grandson Xi pouted her pink little mouth and slapped her hand away.
The two laughed, Li Ke, who was standing on the edge of the railing, had a haze in his eyes, and the eldest grandson Xian, who was drinking with his head down, had a smile on his face, but the hand under the case was clenched tightly.
Chai Tianwei quarreled with the eldest Sun Xi for a while, clapped her hands and said, "By the way, tomorrow we will go to the Wei Wangfu to see the fourth brother, and you can go with Xi'er." β
The eldest grandson Xi crooked his little head, and his face still had a delicate blush, "No, I only went there yesterday." β
"Yesterday?" With a puzzled expression, Changsun Xian asked, "When did you go yesterday, why don't I know?" β
Changsun Xi twisted his fingers and replied embarrassedly: "Yesterday afternoon, sister, weren't you in the house, I heard my father mention that the fourth brother was sick when he was talking to the guests, and he ran away by himself in a hurry-sister, don't tell your father that I eavesdropped on them!" β
"No," Eldest Sun Xian couldn't reach her eyes, "Then have you seen anyone?" β
