Chapter 19: The Mastiff Mighty (Part I)

From then on, I began my solitary life in Daxing Palace. Actually, it just made me go back to my old life. No, it should be said that life is much better than before. At least now I have a lot of people around me who really care about me and care about me.

A few days after my high fever subsided, I asked Mingda to go to Concubine Zheng Xian to ask for guilt. Concubine Zheng Xian treats me very well on weekdays, but this time I was fined for half a year. Although Concubine Zheng Xian is usually very frugal and low-key, as the head of the first house, her daily expenses are still quite large. What's more, after autumn, it is not far from the New Year, which is a festival that requires a lot of money.

Mingda later told me that Concubine Zheng Xian did not reproach me more, saying that the silver taels she saved on weekdays were enough to spend half a year without monthly income, and asked me to take this opportunity to recuperate and study more.

Naturally, I also asked Mingda to visit Mama Xiao and Mama Li. They were implicated by me, and they were beaten to the point that their flesh and blood were blurred, and now they could only lie on their โ–กโ–ก. Mingda sent them the best gold sore medicine to express my apologies and guilt on my behalf.

In the days that followed, I would get up every morning to read and practice calligraphy, and in the afternoon, Mingda would teach me what the Taishi said I should learn.

King Jin would also come to visit me from time to time, and each time he would bring me interesting things or delicious food.

When King Jin and Mingda were not there, I pulled Yuhan to accompany me, either to be a female celebrity, or to play paper-cutting, which girls often use to pass the time.

My solitary life is peaceful, leisurely and fulfilling.

Before I knew it, I had been confined by my father to Luo Yingxuan for more than a few months, from midsummer to golden autumn, and then ushered in a snowy winter. Everything outside Luo Yingxuan is depressed, and only plum blossoms stand alone in the snow, proudly blooming in the ice and snow.

Seeing that the New Year was about to be celebrated, my father and emperor actually sent a holy decree to allow me to attend the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the palace and all the family banquets in the palace during the New Year.

In a peaceful and festive atmosphere, I grew up one year older and ushered in the seventeenth year of Zhenguan. When the bell tower in the square in front of the Taiji Hall and the long and majestic New Year's bell in the Buddhist temple rang, I made a New Year's wish to my father, the ninth brother, and Mingda. I never imagined what the coming year would be so exciting.

On the first day of the first lunar month, the palace ushered in the Tibetan envoy, who brought the good news that Princess Wencheng gave birth to the heir of Songtsen Gampo.

Naturally, my father was overjoyed. Although Princess Wencheng is not born to her father, she has been smart and beautiful since she was a child, knowledgeable, simple and generous, and is deeply loved by her father. Moreover, my father has always advocated the concept of "a marriage is equivalent to 100,000 male soldiers", so Princess Wencheng's marriage to Tubo and her relatives is of great significance to my Tang Dynasty.

The palace was already celebrating the New Year, coupled with the good news of Princess Wencheng, on such a happy day, the father naturally held a banquet in the Taiji Hall and entertained the envoys.

During the banquet, the Tibetan envoy knelt on the ground with a snow-white animal in his arms: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, my country's Zanputuo's ministers present our country's unique sacred beast mastiff to His Majesty the Emperor, and please ask His Majesty the Emperor to smile." โ€

Father bowed slightly: "I know that dogs have always been loyal to their masters, and mastiffs are better than ordinary dogs. This time, you Zamp bothered. "Mastiffs have always been known as one of the guardian beasts of the Quartet in Tibet, so my father was quite satisfied with the gift offered by Tubo this time.

"His Majesty the Emperor is gracious. When Princess Wencheng entered my Tibet, the richness of the marrying goods was beyond the reach of my country's material resources. And the craftsmen and technicians who accompanied me brought earth-shaking changes to Tibet. Our country's Zampu knows that His Majesty the Emperor is accustomed to seeing the rare treasures of the world, and after thinking about it, he can only dedicate my Tubo Divine Beast to His Majesty the Emperor to express his โ–กโ–ก. The envoy humbly relayed Songtsen Gampo's original meaning.
