"Queen Mother, this is so fragrant, it is more fragrant than the fragrant wife, but there is no pungent smell, as long as you touch it like this, this is also amazing."

Princess Xiangcheng took the perfume, put it on her nose, sniffed slightly, and said, "This is such a good thing, I don't know where the queen mother got it?" ”

Hearing Xiangcheng say this, Empress Changsun's heart was also proud, this kid is just like knowing a woman's heart, inventing such a thing, Empress Changsun smiled: "This, it's from a ......"

Before Empress Changsun finished speaking, a male duck of a eunuch shouted in his throat outside: "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”

As soon as she heard that Li Shimin was coming, Princess Xiangcheng hurriedly got up and ran out to greet her, "Erchen greets his father!" ”

"Get up, don't be polite."

Li Shimin looked at his eldest daughter with a bright face and smiled, but he couldn't help sighing and rubbing his head in his heart.

"Your Majesty!" When Empress Changsun saw Li Shimin coming, she hurriedly poured a glass of water for Li Shimin, since they drank his tea at Qin Shou's place, looking at the tea in the palace with butter, mutton fat, and green onions, ginger and garlic, how it looks unpleasant, it is better to drink boiled water.

But Li Shimin didn't drink water, but already pulled his face again and didn't speak.

"Your Majesty, but what troubles did Wei Zheng and them bring to Your Majesty?" Empress Eldest Sun saw it, and it should be another troublesome thing inside.

"Father, did Wei Zheng tell you something? Erchen went to find him and vented his anger for his father! ”

Princess Xiangcheng also asked.

Li Shimin looked at this daughter and listened to what her daughter said, what a good girl! How sensible! But I ...... But Datang said that the girl is the little padded jacket of her parents, which is not false at all.

The words that Li Shimin wanted to say were like something pressing in his throat and couldn't say it, but he still had to say it!

Better a finger off than always aching!

Li Shimin looked at his daughter, but still said: "Today's court meeting, Xue Yantuo came to the letter of state, asking for peace and marrying the princess of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

This sentence suddenly made Princess Xiangcheng's whole person like a thunderbolt from the sky, and she was immediately dumbfounded, and her originally peaceful heart seemed to have broken a hole, and someone was holding a knife and stabbing her heart.

Li Shimin looked at her like this, and then said: "Do you understand what this means? ”

Princess Xiangcheng was stupid and stunned, and she now had an unprecedented feeling of fear.

After a while, Princess Xiangcheng suddenly knelt down with a snort and said: "Father, mother, over the years, my daughter has never begged you for anything, and she has never wanted to compete for favor. ”

Li Shimin hummed lightly and nodded, he knows this daughter's sensibility, but ......

Princess Xiangcheng used the courage that she had so hard to have, and said with difficulty: "Father, mother, but this time, the daughter wants to beg her father, think about it for her daughter, daughter, daughter doesn't want to get married, daughter doesn't want to marry Xue Yantuo, daughter wants to stay in Datang, stay with her father and queen mother, just once, daughter will beg her father this time in this life!" Just once! Ask your father to fulfill it! As he spoke, he bowed heavily to the ground.

Li Shimin stood up and turned his face aside, he didn't dare to look, he didn't dare to face his daughter.

In the sleeve of the dragon robe, Li Shimin's hand was already clenched into a fist, and the eldest grandson queen also looked at Princess Xiangcheng with a distressed face, wanting to speak for her, but she also knew the severity and knew that this was a state affair! No foolishness, no child's play! The matter of harmony is related to the Tang Dynasty!

If we can't appease those talented wolves, tigers and leopards, the people will be devastated and displaced!

Tears were already pouring out of the eyes on the face of Princess Xiangcheng, who was kowtowing to the ground, like a river bursting its banks, silently choking.

After Li Shimin took a few deep breaths, he said: "The net worth and life of hundreds of thousands of people at the border pass is in my thoughts, I can't watch my people of the Tang Dynasty suffer from war, you are the princess of the Tang Dynasty, this is your unshirkable responsibility and your mission, you must also do something, are you willing to watch the blood of the people flow into a river?" ”

Princess Xiangcheng knew that this was the result, but after hearing her father say these words, the sharp knife in her heart pierced deeper, and her heart hurt even more.

She cried, using her last stubbornness, hoping that the hero she admired the most in her heart, she felt that the most capable man in the world, and also her biological father, could feel sorry for her daughter, and cried: "Father, hundreds of thousands of people at the border are the people of the Tang Dynasty, isn't the daughter the people of the Tang Dynasty?" I'm also my father's own daughter! Can you soften me and feel sorry for your daughter?"

There was silence in the Imperial Palace.

But Li Shimin still took a few deep breaths and said: "You have a preparation in your heart, you are the princess of the Tang Dynasty, the princess who is supported by the people, and now is the time when the Tang Dynasty needs you, maybe half a month later, Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, will be the main envoy, and Tang Jian will be the deputy envoy, escorting you to Xue Yantuo!" This is a major matter of diplomatic relations between the two countries, and this matter is a foregone conclusion! Unchangeable! ”

After that, Li Shimin left quickly, he didn't dare to stay here, he didn't dare to face his daughter.

And Princess Xiangcheng also cried sadly and bitterly after seeing Li Shimin leave, and finally fainted with black eyes.

"Xiangcheng!" Empress Eldest Sun exclaimed: "Imperial Doctor! ”

And after letting the maid and the eunuch take care of Xiangcheng, the eldest grandson queen hurriedly chased out.

Empress Eldest Sun chased after Li Shimin quickly.

In the Baifu Palace, Li Shimin lowered his head and pretended to be watching the music, did not look at the eldest grandson queen, did not raise his head, and said: "If the queen also wants to talk about harmony, there is no need to say it again, Datang can't afford to fight now!" ”

Empress Changsun said: "Erlang, I know everything, you can't help it, every time you look like this, I know how helpless you are, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, you always have to put the people of the country first, how long has it been since the chaos of the dynasty, and the people have just lived a few good days." ”

"Datang's family foundation is too thin, she can't withstand the beating, and she really has no choice, she can only be wronged Xiangcheng, who let Xiangcheng she was also born in the royal family, and the concubine will persuade her when she turns around, prepare more dowry for her, and seal her biological mother, and she will never be wronged."

"What she wants, what she should have, we will give it twice, just take it as a way to make up for her as much as possible."

Li Shimin listened to these words, his face was hideous, his forehead, and the green tendons on the back of his hands were bulging, and he said angrily: "One day, when my Tang treasury is full, the soldiers will be strong and strong!" I must also make Xue Yantuo pay the price! I want them to pay it back a hundredfold, a thousandfold, a thousand! I want Xue Yantuo to perish his country! Otherwise, it will not be enough to hate the blood! ”
