Chapter 342: Taiping Celebration Banquet!
Brocade clothes and jade food, maids and slaves have everything, why bother to their leisure to fight for power?
Besides, when she was living happily, she also sighed at her brothers, lamenting that they had suffered a lot, and that they were dead and wounded.
I am even more glad that I am a daughter, born in the emperor's family, and I can enjoy the glory and wealth in chaos, and I don't have to be afraid.
As long as she practices filial piety, respects her brother, and is alone, she will not be expelled like her second brother Li Xian, or banned like Li Xian.
Just like her title, Taiping, as long as she lives a good life with her husband and children, her life can be peaceful forever, and even occasionally she can go out to desert to satisfy her vanity and desires.
It's a pity.
Although she has no quarrel with the world, as long as she is born in the emperor's family, it is difficult to get rid of the disaster of the court.
The source of the disaster is Xue Yi, who participated in Li Zhen's rebellion!
Although Xue Yi failed to unite with Li Zhen, when Yuan Tiangang went to stop him, he had already broken through a city, captured more than 1,000 people and rushed to Luoyang.
This matter was originally a capital crime of the Zhujiu clan, and Li Yunxiao spared the Li family's relatives, but only let them scatter their wealth and leave the country.
But the Xue family is not among the people who are sentenced lightly.
The first thing Wu Meiniang did when she came to Chang'an was to tell Li Dan about the Xue family's rebellion.
In this matter, someone has to come out and show the royal majesty to the world.
So it didn't take long for the imperial court to arrest Xue Shao, his brother and relatives of the Xue family and put them in prison.
The person sent was none other than the head of the Criminal Department, Suo Yuanli.
At first, Princess Taiping was still calm, Suo Yuanli was a subordinate promoted by her mother, these were just routine things, and she didn't dare to do anything to her concubine.
The worst is nothing more than the removal of the official position, with her, it will not be long before the official can be reinstated.
But she guessed wrong, and the court issued a verdict that day, about Xue Shao's family, except for the princess, all of them were demoted to commoners and sent to the border as slaves!
Princess Taiping was stunned for several hours when she heard the news.
Xue Shao's relatives and brothers she didn't dare to guarantee anything, but Xue Shao was her concubine, how could she not know the other party's every move and what kind of character?
This is obviously wronged, Xue Shao never knew that someone in his family would participate in the rebellion!
Angry, she found the Criminal Department and met Suo Yuanli.
Suo Yuanli didn't have a good impression of this Taiping princess.
There is a little bit of posture, that is, the tone is not small, and I still wanted their family to be handsome.
But he had no choice but to have the Queen Mother behind him, so he could only let his subordinates stop him, saying that he was being interrogated, and he was nowhere to be seen except for the Queen Mother and His Majesty.
Then Princess Taiping went to find her mother again, but the eunuch Gao Lishi came out to stop her: "The Queen Mother and Your Majesty have been busy with government affairs recently, and they have no time to get out, so please come back another day." ”
When Princess Taiping heard this, she knew that she deliberately wanted to prevaricate her, so she wanted to break in.
It's a pity that Gao Lishi's kung fu is much higher than her, and he has suffered several times in a row.
She shook her hands angrily and left, wanting to find others to help, she thought of Yuan Tiangang, but she had nothing to do with Yuan Tiangang and was not familiar with her.
His courtyard was similar to a forbidden place, and she didn't dare to go there herself.
As for the emperor, I heard that he was gone, but as for where he went, no one knows.
With no way out, no one to ask for, Taiping returned to the house with a blank face.
At this time, some of the remaining servants of the Xue family turned into fear when they saw Princess Taiping.
In their opinion, it is a mother-daughter accomplice, taking the Xue family as a special case, although he is not dead, but he is sent to be a slave far away, but it is difficult to turn over for the rest of his life.
When Princess Taiping saw them like this, she was angry and wanted to kill them with her own hands.
He has been in love with Xue Shao for a long time, how could he communicate that his mother framed him?
Besides, he also gave birth to two sons to Xue Shao, if he doesn't think about others, for his own sake, it's impossible to do this!
Seeing her child crying and shouting for her father, Princess Taiping gritted her teeth and decided to break through, ten times if she didn't work once, anyway, Gao Lishi didn't dare to hit her hard!
In the next few days, Princess Taiping broke through one after another, even if she managed to escape under Gao Lishi, she did not see her mother.
It's like her mother playing hide and seek with her, and she can't find it.
Seeing that Xue Shao was less than three days away from being assigned, she was almost a little desperate, and suddenly met Shangguan Wan'er who came out.
Shangguan Wan'er handed out a handkerchief and wiped it for the sweaty Princess Taiping.
Princess Taiping glanced at Shangguan Wan'er suspiciously, and then glared at Gao Lishi.
Colliers smacked his lips and turned his head to the side, ignoring it.
Shangguan Wan'er said lightly: "I heard that the princess wants to enter the palace for several days in a row to invite her, and the Queen Mother will hold a banquet for Her Majesty today to celebrate her accession to the throne, you can go and see it." ”
The celebration banquet is still in the Linde Hall.
The Linde hall is carved with dragon paintings, golden and brilliant, and the various murals on the walls, the decoration are all revealing lifelike, magnificent.
Princess Taiping was in no mood to pay attention to this, and hurriedly ran towards the back hall of the Lin De Palace.
Inside the back hall.
Wu Meiniang was frowning and pacing back and forth.
In front of her, a row of palace maids held trays with all kinds of clothes in them.
Li Dan on the side was dressed in a dragon robe and said anxiously: "Oh, my queen mother, alas, isn't it just a banquet, you have chosen almost an hour, what can't you wear?" ”
Wu Meiniang shook her head: "What do you know, when your brother ascended the throne and became the emperor, there was a banquet, and my mother didn't participate." ”
"But if you want to participate this time, it must be solemn, and it can't be the same as your father's costume when he was on the throne!"
"Alas...."Li Dan sighed silently, and looked helplessly at Yuan Tiangang standing in the distance.
Yuan Tiangang has seen a lot of things now, and while working for the imperial court, he also serves as a guard.
Because in his heart, he can win the sky by identifying people, but who knows if Wu Meiniang is really reforming and changing her face now?
Li Dan watched his mother choose clothes one by one, and his head shook like a rattle.
He almost had all the good clothes in the inventory taken out, and he made several new ones in a few days.
But why is his queen mother still hesitant, his celebration is as if it is his own queen mother's banquet.
Glancing at Li Dan's anxious appearance, Wu Meiniang said lightly: "Okay, okay, you are now the Son of Heaven Saint, can't you be more steady?" Mother wants this. ”
In the end, Wu Meiniang chose a set of cyan robes embroidered with pheasants, what does it mean, needless to say.
Although it looks elegant and not gorgeous, it is not steady, and she likes it very much.
And just then, the sound of a slave blocking was heard outside.
"Huh? Princess, you can't break in, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are discussing important matters! Don't be embarrassed, you can't break in!! ”
In the midst of a noise, Princess Taiping broke in!
