Chapter 33: The Princess's Responsibility
Early in the morning, Princess Taiping entered the palace.
When her eyes caught a glimpse of Gaozong's expression, she knew that there was something in her father's heart, and it must have something to do with Brother Han!
Thinking of this, Princess Taiping's heartbeat accelerated: Could it be that there is any special relationship between her father and Xiao Han?
She unconsciously thought of the forbidden place in the palace: Qingyun Nunnery!
Her mother had been a nun there, and then she heard that she had sent another woman, and her father did not have so many rules, and I heard that he used to run there all day, and I heard that sometimes he spent the night there, but no one dared to talk about him!
Before, she didn't understand, but later, she gradually understood, especially after she saw and fell in love with Xiaohan, she gradually knew what was going on!
It seems that she, the amorous father, has a lot of things to hide from her; no, she should say that she is hiding from all the princes! What should she do? Do you really want to ask clearly?
She hesitated, for fear that if she broke into the palace and questioned her, the situation would be even worse, and she had known how to please her father and queen mother since she was thirteen years old!
This kind of thing, it is best, it is best to start from the queen mother, maybe, it will be effortless?
Thinking of it, her legs wanted to go to Wu Meiniang; who knows, before her thoughts were finished, Gonggong Qin, who was serving her father, had already run over and said: "Princess Taiping, the slave is trying to summon you! Unexpectedly, you came first, please, please, the emperor is waiting for you in the imperial study! I heard that there is something to ask you for help, remember, princess, be careful when you speak, it is best, only do things, do not speak!"
"Gonggong Xie, I know!" Princess Taiping smiled slightly: It seems that there are people who can't sleep more than her, how many people's dreams have been disturbed by the snow last night?
The snow on the ground, emitting a heavy breath, a bit like Princess Taiping, she paused slightly, calmed down, smelled the plum blossom that was blooming with fragrance, gathered all her emotions, her steps were lighter!
was about to go to the study, but she didn't expect that the door of the imperial study was open, and she was about to report first, when Gaozong Li Zhi's voice came: "Taiping, come in quickly, my father is waiting for you!"
Princess Taiping hurriedly walked in and was about to bow down, but Gaozong had stopped her and said, "The emperor is exempt from courtesy, and the rules are exempt, why did you enter the palace so early today?
Gaozong's face was not very good, it seemed that he really didn't sleep well last night, perhaps, his mind was completely confused, Princess Taiping even saw his body trembling a little: he must be in trouble!
"Father didn't sleep well last night, do you want Taiping to press your head?" Princess Taiping diverted the topic.
"Yes, then it's hard and peaceful!" Gaozong was feeling uncomfortable at this moment.
"Father, you are in danger of the Tang Dynasty, you have to think about everything, you know?" Princess Taiping said as she pressed his head.
"Does this father still need you to teach? Hey, it's just that there are too many things to do, and some things are particularly annoying, for example, that little cold, my father doesn't know how to deal with it!"
"Ah, Brother Han is very good, how can you not know how to deal with him, as the queen mother said, let him be the official of the Tang Dynasty!" Princess Taiping obviously agreed with Wu Meiniang's opinion.
"Besides, it's not appropriate to ask him to be the official of our Tang Dynasty, I heard that he is already a guest of the Turks, equivalent to the foreign minister; if we give him another official, he will definitely not be happy if he is small, and when he is big, the ministers will oppose it, so what?" Gaozong Li Zhi said.
"Then let him be Taiping's concubine, this is not an official, but it is more useful than any official, hehe, won't it solve all the problems?" Princess Taiping began to tug at Gaozong's heartstrings.
"Ahh
"Why? Brother Han is not a bad person, why can't I marry Brother Han?
"It's impossible, you don't know, he is, he is ......" Gaozong couldn't go on.
"Who is he? Could it be that he is my cousin?"
"So you already knew?" Alas, not only that, but he still ......" Gaozong couldn't go on again.
"What, Father, you say, is he still your own son?" My own brother? Hmph!" Princess Taiping let out another sneer.
Gaozong Li Zhi couldn't answer anymore, so he had to nod in a muffled voice.
"I knew that there must be no good thing, but this time it was also a good thing, haha, after all, Brother Han is my own brother, alas, father, why did you do that? Could it be that the person in the nunnery is Brother Han's mother?" Princess Taiping's eyes lit up: I see!
"Yes, Emperor, do you look down on your father?" Gaozong said ashamedly.
"A little, I'll tell you the truth, don't mind my father, alas, it's a pity that I can't marry Brother Han!" Princess Taiping's face was still sad.
It seems that she is really in love with Xiao Han, although, known as impossible!
"I'm sorry, Huang'er, it's my father who is sorry for you, and now, my father has something I want to ask you for help!"
Finally let go of this secret case, his heart began to come alive, and his eyes finally had a glow!
"Do you want me to tell Brother Han about your ugly affairs?" Princess Taiping began to tease him again.
"If you can, Taiping, you can help me, alas, this matter can only be known to you for the time being, lest Hong'er and them think too much, at present, the situation in our Datang is complicated, your mother has mastered the power, even I can't control it, I don't know if your brother Hong can succeed to the throne smoothly;
"Then, what exactly does my father want me to do? I won't simply tell Brother Han about this, right?" Princess Taiping's eyes sharpened.
Obviously, she knew that Gaozong Li Zhi had other arrangements, and it was very likely that there were more important things for her to complete!
"Emperor, I want to beg you to be the patron saint of the Tang Dynasty, perhaps, only if you are the patron saint of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, can there really be hope; at present, you are the only person who can solve the current predicament, and you are the only person that the emperor really trusts!"
"Isn't there my brother Hong? Why didn't my father directly entrust the country to him? Or, simply let Brother Hong ascend the throne and my father would be the emperor? In that case, wouldn't the queen mother have to hand over power?" Princess Taiping analyzed, and she became more and more calm.
"Alas, it's impossible, the current court has been clearly divided into two factions, your mother has a firm grasp of the situation, as long as I am healthy, maybe, the situation will not be chaotic, but if my father dies, then the Tang Dynasty will definitely be eventful, at that time, only you are the hope of the Tang Dynasty; of course, there is also Xiao Han, he may be your real help; he likes you, although you are his sister!"
Unexpectedly, even Xiao Han's idea dared to fight: Isn't he afraid that Xiao Han will take the opportunity to seize the country?
"Father, I like Brother Han, and for Brother Han, I will do anything, even if Brother Han wants to ascend to the throne of God, I will assist him;
"Haha, Taiping, as long as Xiao Han is willing, I have no opinion, maybe, that is the best result, because, he is a Turkic guest lord, and there is a strong foreign aid of the Turks, it seems that Qin Huaiyu is also good to him, and it is estimated that those old ministers have no opinion; I am afraid that he will not be happy, because he hates me!" Gaozong's eyes were like swords.
This time, he definitely pierced Xiao Han's packaging and went straight to his heart!
"Alas, father, who told you to behave in a young way? You will do it yourself, but I will definitely help you resolve this evil relationship! However, at present, I have no official position and no position, and it seems that I cannot control the situation!" Princess Taiping thought.
"Emperor, you don't need an official position, you are your mother's heart, don't you see that she likes you more than your three brothers? So, it's better to have no official position, you will definitely help Datang tide over the crisis, I believe this!"
At this time, Princess Taiping finally saw a different Gaozong Li Zhi, maybe he was the person recognized by Taizong back then;
"Father, you are now the good emperor of our Tang Dynasty, father, the emperor loves you!" After speaking, Princess Taiping hugged him tightly.
It seems that hugging him is equivalent to hugging Xiaohan!
"Okay, Taiping, everything has been explained to you clearly, what are you going to do?" Gaozong asked her.
"I don't know, wait a minute, wait until the Lantern Festival, it seems that I am not in a hurry to do this in the next two days! Besides, I don't know how to explain to Brother Han for a while, alas, let Brother Han have a happy Lantern Festival in Chang'an, the capital of our Tang Dynasty!" Princess Taiping answered him after a brief thought.
Gaozong had no choice but to nod and agree with her idea!
"Then, can the emperor take his leave, I'm going to the queen mother's place to say goodbye!" Princess Taiping said happily.
"Go, Huang'er, don't tell her the content of our conversation, although she knows that I summoned you into the palace to talk about Xiaohan, but that big responsibility, don't tell her!" Gaozong told her again.
"I know, father, Taiping knows this well, I promise, as long as there is no accident, Brother Hong will definitely ascend the throne smoothly!" Princess Taiping said resolutely.
At this time, she thought of Shangguan Wan'er, she wanted to tell her, but in a blink of an eye, she thought: She is the queen mother's brain, absolutely not, maybe, there is really only Brother Han!
When she saw Wu Meiniang, she only asked her with a smile: "Taiping, has your father told you about Xiaohan, how are you going to tell him?"
"I said that the Lantern Festival is over, and the father agreed, what does the queen mother mean?" Princess Taiping asked.
Wu Meiniang stopped talking, looked at the snow in the distance, and after a while, she said: "It's really cold this year, Taiping, you have to wear more clothes and protect yourself!"
She has already spoken a few times, and Princess Taiping's suddenly tightened!
