After listening to what Li Yuntong said, Yun Bi Enzhu was not annoyed or prevaricated, and admitted with a smile: "Yes, the slave knew the identity of the prince from the beginning, and what he did was also to please the prince. ”

"But—" she said, "the princess is erudite, and she should know that there are many things that she may not have the confidence to do well, and the reason why the slave can get started with everything is because the slave has been preparing for everything today since he was very young. ”

"If you can pass these, improve the door of the family, the slave will naturally be happy, even if not, the slave in learning those skills, will never be wasted, from a small aspect, the future can teach the slave's children, in the big aspect, those skills are the foundation of the slave's life, to ensure the fate of the slave, will not be as stormy as other women, can only rely on men. This truth, when I was a child, I was a slave's aunt and told the slave, and when I grew up, the slave also understood that if I have no ability, I can only rely on others, and I can only let people eat ......"

There was melancholy in her eyes, "The difficulty of survival, the difficulty of growing up, is not something that a person like you, the princess, who was born with fine clothes and food, can understand, compared with you, a woman like a slave, every step up has to overcome thorns and thorns, every step forward is hard, a little slack will slide to the bottom, and you can no longer climb up." Therefore, you said that the slave does not compromise the means, or uses all his scheming, the slave recognizes it, and all this, His Royal Highness the slave wants the prince to understand, he is so smart, so loving......"

Li Yuntong smiled faintly, "That's right, the prince has lived in a completely different environment from you since he was a child, and he doesn't even know that people are sinister, although he knows that you are scheming, but in his opinion, he will only feel that you dare to challenge your own fate, and will not feel that you are wrong." ”

Saying that, Li Yuntong sighed slightly, "Don't talk about him, even when I heard what you said today, I felt very moved." However, little girl, there are some things in this world that you should not want, and you can't afford to ask for them, you should know that in the face of power, your dedication and intentions are a joke. Zampu has already selected the princess of Tuyuhun to be the princess of the prince, and you can't have half a chance to take the throne. ”

She stared at Yun Bi Enzhu and asked with a bit of warning: "You can not stop, but your family, your relatives will bear the thunderous wrath of Zampu, think about it, can you afford it?" ”

When Yunbi Enzhu heard this, she immediately knelt on the ground, looked at Li Yuntong with her eyes, and said sincerely and pitifully: "Zanmeng, the slave is sincerely pleased with His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness the Prince is also very affectionate to the slave. ”

"Fulfillment? How? Will you persuade Zampu to agree with the prince to marry you, or will the prince give up the throne and become a commoner with you? Seeing Yun Bi Enzhu stunned, Li Yuntong said with some sympathy, "Don't think that the prince is the only son of Zampu, and it will never be possible to cancel his throne." After all, he also had several cousins, and those children were all of the same ancestors as him. Marrying a merchant woman, not to mention that Zampu can't agree, even the courtiers are afraid that they will also make a fuss. ”

"You are very smart, but with your knowledge, I am afraid that I cannot understand that marriage is a good marriage, not only men and women, but even for those of us, mutual affection has never been the main or necessary factor in determining marriage. Strong marriage, preserving and growing one's existing status and identity, wealth and country, are the main reasons for marriage to be considered. ”

Pressing his forehead, Li Yuntong said a little tiredly: "About me, you should also hear that coming here from Chang'an and marrying a man who has never met before, how likely do you think we are happy?" I can't decide my own fate, how can I fulfill you? Gongsong's marriage must have been the result of a contract between Tibet and other neighboring countries, and you should let go of your own ambitions instead of asking me for my fulfillment. ”

"Even if you can only be a concubine, but you are the prince's concubine, and even he is likely to become the Zampu of Tibet, you give birth to children for him, your children are no longer merchants but princes and princesses, sacrificing your identity as a wife, in exchange for the rise of the status of children, which is more important, you should know in your heart."

Motioning to Qiu Feng to help Yun Bi Enzhu up, Li Yuntong said again: "With your appearance, I believe that it is not difficult to find an ordinary nobleman to marry, but it is not easy to go further, not to mention that you have provoked the prince now, if he doesn't lose his hand, who would dare to approach you?" If it drags on forever, even if he impulsively gives up the throne for you, he will definitely regret it when the time of deep affection passes in the future, and at that time, as long as he turns back, even if he can't be Zampu, he can still be an idle prince, but what about you, when you are old and decrepit, how can you deal with yourself? Can your riding and archery or your piano, chess, calligraphy and painting save you? ”

Yun Bi Enzhu listened to Li Yuntong's words, and suddenly felt that all her previous calculations and actions were all in vain, and she immediately stood on the spot.

Li Yuntong stood up, walked to the door, looked back at Yun Bi Enzhu, who was standing there in despair, and said softly: "Those skills to entertain people are not the real skills of survival, youth and beauty are gone, and money and wealth are flowing in vain. I think what you can really rely on is that you can judge the situation, it is your business mind, and the businessman knows best what to give and what to take, you think about it. If you are willing to be a concubine, I will persuade Zampu to let you enter the palace earlier, so that you will have more opportunities than other women. ”

"Actually, with your identity, even a concubine is not qualified, and you can only be a maid without any status, but for the sake of your ability, I can call the shots and go back to persuade Zampu to allow you to enter the palace to be the prince's concubine. With your intentions, even if you are a concubine, I believe you can make a world. And we only have one request, that is, you should always be good to Prince Gongsong, and let him live as long and happy as possible......"

……

No one knows what method Yunbi Enzhu used to persuade Gongsong Gongzan and agreed to marry the princess of Tuyuhun as the prince concubine, and she quietly married into Gongsong Gongzan's palace and became a concubine, until she gave birth to Gongsong Gongzan's eldest son two years later, everyone was surprised that she not only had undiminished grace, but also Gongsong Gongzan's body and bones were very well conditioned, and she was able to give birth to a child.

Especially Songtsen Gampo they were the most surprised, after all, except for the imperial doctor, no one knew better than them how difficult it was for Gongsong Gongtsen's body to give birth to this child.

He personally named this child Qili Pabu, and at that time, no one thought that this child would be the 34th Zanpu of Tubo in the future, Mangsong Mangzan.

Before Qili Pabu was born, Yunbi Enzhu took the initiative to write the child in the name of the Tuyuhun princess Meng Jieqiga, and two years after entering the palace, she knew very well the difference between the identity of the son of a concubine and the son of a prince and concubine.

Because Yun Bi Enzhu is a smart person, Li Yuntong dissuaded Meng Jieqiga's idea of going to her mother and child, and persuaded her to treat Yun Bi Enzhu well and raise the child who has been in the spotlight since birth.

Meng Jieqiga is not a stupid person, after changing her mind, she treats Yunbi Enzhu as a sister, which makes Gongsong Gongzan's perception of her much better, and increases the number of days she stays there.

On the day of the full moon in Qili, Li Yuntong found out that she was pregnant, which was already her sixth year in Tibet.

Because of the high cold in Tibet, it is more difficult for women to conceive, so there have been fewer newborns in the local area, even royal ladies are no exception, at that time, Li Yuntong once thought that Yunbi Enzhu was a person with great vitality, and compared with the delicate and timid aristocratic women who were conducive to childbirth, he persuaded Songtsen Gampo to allow her to enter the palace as a concubine......

It is not easy for local women in Tubo to get pregnant, not to mention Li Yuntong, a woman from the Central Plains, when she arrived in Tubo, many of the Tang Dynasty women who came with her to marry lost their lives because they did not adapt to the local climate, so year after year, she had almost no hope for this, and suddenly there was good news, more surprise than joy, and even a little overwhelmed.

Li Yuntong has never experienced the feeling of a fetus growing in her womb, from the moment she heard the good news, the originally flat lower abdomen suddenly became a little different, as if there were already buds sprouting under the frozen earth, and she even felt that she could feel what was growing and breathing under the calm.

After the doctor stepped back, she walked around the room, not knowing what to do with the sudden child, and tried to take a few deep breaths to calm herself down.

After regaining her composure, she began to carefully stroke her abdomen, trying to feel the child's growth from her fingers.

That child was only a little more than a month old at this time, and she was as small as a sesame seed, so she naturally got nothing.

At this moment, the footsteps of Songtsen Gampo came.

The footsteps were a bit heavy.

Li Yuntong was so focused on his own abdomen that he didn't even notice the palace maid's communication.

Songtsen Gampo came to her.

This is the full moon of his king's grandson, who is only thirty-three years old, and he has already become a grandfather, and Songtsen Gampo drank a few more glasses because he was happy in his heart.

But he still remembered that Li Yuntong hated the smell of alcohol, so he deliberately bathed, and the smell of wine on his body was very clean, and he also wore fragrant clothes, so it was impossible for her to dislike him for smelling alcohol......

It was the aroma that brought Li Yuntong back to her senses, she didn't expect it at first, she just sniffed suspiciously.

By the time he realized it, Songtsen Gampo had already leaned over her, he propped his hands on his sides, trying not to squeeze her, and before Li Yuntong could speak, he kissed her with his fiery lips.
