This is not the Datang I am familiar with

Liu Yi felt a little bored at this moment, and only hated the carriage going too slowly.

At this time, he took out the notebook, and finally remembered what Brother Huang said, only reading the last page.

"Brother Huang is right. Even though I know that there is something special about him, and that he will unknowingly attract people he cares about, I still miss him in my heart."

"Forget it, at least it's good to know that he has me in his heart. I don't know what will happen if he knows I'm pregnant?"

"By the way, Yiyang already has his child. If the child in my womb is born, it will happen to be one year younger than Yiyang's daughter, and he will be a playmate in the future."

"I don't know if I'll bear him a girl or a boy?"

Liu Yi touched her lower abdomen unknowingly, but the pregnancy is not long at this time, and the lower abdomen has not changed.

But caressing her lower abdomen, Liu Yi couldn't help but smile.

She and Chen Fang can be regarded as a bright future, and she thought it was impossible to be with him. After he destroyed the weapons in Beigang's stockpile, and after she stabbed him in the heart, Liu Yi thought that she and Chen Fang could only be separated from each other by the end of the world. There is no possibility of a broken mirror reunion.

But who knows, there are many things in this world that are so unbelievable.

I went to find Brother Huang by myself, and I had to bear the responsibility for the destruction of Beigang, but in the end it was Brother Huang who wanted to reconcile with Datang and let me marry to Datang.

Liu Yi rubbed her stomach for a while, leaning against the carriage wall.

"Chen Fang, I will see you soon!"

In Chang'an, the faint clouds are glowing red reflected by the setting sun, and patches of fiery clouds stretch across the horizon, changing in various forms.

In the courtyard where Chen Fang lived, Taiping was amusing Sisi with a puppet he made. Chen Fang saw that the puppet Taiping made was so ugly.

But this is His Highness's wish. If he didn't like Xiao Sisi, with Taiping's status, he would definitely not make this puppet.

It is said that in order to make this puppet, Taiping's hand was pricked with a needle. The few court ladies who were present at the time were scared to death, fearing that the empress would punish them for this.

A few years ago, because the little highness fell into the water while on a boat, all the boatmen on board were severely punished, their hands and feet were broken, and they were disabled for life.

They were deeply afraid that they would be punished severely just like those boatmen.However, this time Wu Meiniang knew that Taiping's finger was pricked by a needle when she was making a puppet, and she didn't punish anyone.

Unknowingly, Wu Meiniang's temperament is also gradually changing.She treated the maids around her much more tolerantly than before.

This is a kind of subtle influence. Maybe after living in Tang Gongfang and with Chen Fang for a long time, he is also used to Chen Fang's attitude towards the maid. As a maid, he is a human being, friendly and tolerant, and will not easily punish him.

Wu Meiniang has been with Chen Fang for a long time, so naturally she has acquired some of his habits to some extent.

Taiping used the puppet to make Sisi giggle, watching little Sisi's pink hands grabbing the puppet and playing with it, where Chen Fang was sitting by the bed, and little Sisi was holding the puppet and crawling towards her father, Crawled over and handed the puppet to Chen Fang.

Chen Fang picked up his little daughter and kissed her pink cheek.

"Your Highness, just now I sent people to pick lotus pods at the lotus pond. You and Princess Anding will go back later and bring back some tender lotus seeds."

"Oh, Taiping also likes to eat tender lotus seeds. But Taiping still prefers small dried fish."

"Small dried fish, by the way, my Highness, I remember what you said. A batch of dried fish sent from Yangzhou happens to contain some dried small fish. The dried sardines are used to make it, which tastes different from river fish. I will order people to do it right away, and your highness will take it with you when you go back."

"Chen Fang, I have been learning to play the piano with Empress Defei these days. I don't know why, but I can't always play the piano well."

"Actually, His Highness is already very good at playing the piano, but every time he plays the piano, he is with Empress Defei. She is a master of piano music. Compared with Concubine De, His Highness is naturally worse."

"Oh, Taiping thought he couldn't play it well! It turns out that Taiping is always comparing himself with Empress Defei!"

"Your Highness insists that in the future, she will definitely be like Concubine De, with outstanding piano skills."

"By the way, Chen Fang, my mother asked me to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting from Empress Defei from now on."

"Oh!"

Chen Fang let out a soft oh, what Wu Meiniang did was to let Concubine De stay in the palace, which is more natural.

Originally according to the ancestral system, after the death of the late emperor, concubines without heirs were to go to Ganye Temple to become a monk.

After Li Zhi was buried in the Qianling Mausoleum, many concubines in the palace had actually entered the Ganye Temple, and few of them remained in the palace at this time.

Concubine De was one of the remaining concubines, so she had to explain why she stayed. After all, the ancestral system cannot be easily messed up.

Originally, in history, Wu Meiniang also became a monk at Ganye Temple, and it took a lot of effort from Queen Wang to get out of Ganye Temple.

The ancestral system is like this. If there is an exception, there must be a reason in the past. It is undoubtedly a good reason to teach the princess to learn piano in Daming Palace.

Chapter 728 Ancestral System and Privileges

The concubines who were still in the palace at this time, apart from Concubine De, were Concubine Jing, Li Zhaoyi and Zheng Jieyu.

It can be seen that the remaining concubines all have profound family backgrounds, not to mention the reason of Wu Meiniang, the family backgrounds of these concubines alone are incomparable to other concubines.

Concubine De Jing and Zheng Jieyu are both females with five surnames, and they were born into families with five surnames and Qiwang family, which can be said to be the most prominent family in this era.

The Five Surnames and Seven Wangs are so prominent that even the royal family cannot easily offend them. Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang originally wanted to suppress the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs Family, but they failed in the end. This shows the status of the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs House in the Tang Dynasty at this time.

In the Tang Dynasty, from the early Tang Dynasty, the prosperous Tang Dynasty to the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the status of the five surname families has always been very high. This is the last swan song of the gentry in the history of China.

The only one among these people who is not a woman of the five surnames is Li Zhaoyi. It seems wrong. Li Zhaoyi is also a woman of the five surnames. The direct lineage of the family is the royal family, and the rest are the direct lineages of the five surnames.

Li Zhaoyi is not the direct descendant of the Li family in Longxi, but her background is also extremely prominent. Behind her is Prince An's Mansion. Actually speaking, the status of Prince An's Mansion at this time is no less than that of the House of Five Surnames and Seven Wangs.

This is the royal clan, and it is the most prominent line of clan.

These concubines don't need to enter the Ganye Temple, because Wu Meiniang meant it. After all, for Li Hong, she wanted to win over the family of the five surnames, and also wanted to win over Li Tang's relatives.

And their prominent background is also an important reason why they can not enter the Ganye Temple. After all, this is an era of privilege, and the family influence behind them is enough to make them different from other concubines.

In fact, they don't need to enter the Ganye Temple. In fact, they have the credit of Tang Gongfang, but the reason is a bit obscure.

As far as Li Zhaoyi is concerned, Prince An's Mansion and Tang Gongfang behind her are considered to be closely cooperating. The relationship between the two is in the upper echelon of Chang'an, and no one will fail to see it.

Most of the defenders of the ancestral system are former officials of Li Tang. These people have always taken the benefits of the Tang workshop. The toothpaste, soap, rapeseed oil and various foods in the Dayuan's mansion are not free.

With so many benefits from Tang Gongfang, once something happened to Prince An's Mansion, which was deeply involved with Tang Gongfang, for example, if Li Zhaoyi wanted to disrupt the ancestral system, they would just turn a blind eye and pretend they didn't see it.

This is the role of sugar-coated bullets. How could Chen Fang, who came from later generations, not know how to use sugar-coated bullets.

The highest state of using sugar-coated shells is that you know that they are sugar-coated shells, but you dare not refuse to accept them.

If you don't accept the things that Tang Gongfang sent, you will offend Tang Gongfang.

Not to mention the concubines, at this time Chen Fang went to the kitchen, which is the small kitchen in the owner's courtyard. Dingyu and Qian'er had been here before, but now Qian'er has gone to the South Workshop to be the owner of the workshop, and there is only Xia Dingyu was one, but at this time Chen Fang came and saw that there was another person here, it was Chun, she came back with the empress and stayed with the son-in-law.

Originally she was the maid of the empress, spring, summer, autumn and winter, plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, they were all maids chosen for the empress in Luoyang Palace.

Like Xiao Lan, she is a maid who is temporarily loaned to the son-in-law to take care of the son-in-law's daily life.At this time Xiaolan had already returned to the empress's side, but she stayed.

"Dingyu, I will make some of those small dried fishes sent by Yangzhou and bring them back to His Royal Highness."

"Understood, Master, since you left Yangzhou, Yangzhou has been delivering things, first to Luoyang Palace and now to Tang Workshop."

Chen Fang patted Dingyu's buttocks and looked at his apprentice.

"This is the charm of Master!"

"That wealthy businessman's widow also cares about Master."

"Okay, let's not talk about her, remember what Master said just now, don't forget."

"How could Dingyu forget what Master ordered?"

"Ok!"

Chen Fang caressed Dingyu's body with his hands, and Chuna Chun looked at it and licked the corner of his lips.

"Chun, do you like cooking?"

"like!"

"I'll help Dingyu from now on. By the way, don't lick your lips all the time with your tongue. It looks weird... I like to lick. I'll let you lick something later."

"My son-in-law, what are you licking?"

Chun looked curiously at the son-in-law.

"Lick the cactus!"

Chun didn't know why, Dingyu had already been amused by his master.

"What is a cactus? Is it easy to lick?"

"My master is teasing you!"

"Oh, sister Dingyu, what the hell is a cactus?"

"Ask my master!"

"Okay, I'm teasing you! Chun, don't lick your lips all the time, I'll let you lick them again and again."

"Yes, Prince Consort!"

"Okay, you guys are busy here, I'll go and see Sisi."

After Chen Fang left, Chun pulled Dingyu again and asked what a cactus was.

Dingyu looked at her, smiled, and whispered in her ear. Chun finally figured out what a cactus was, and then looked at Dingyu in embarrassment.

"That spring doesn't dare to lick it! His tongue is going to rot."

"Okay, my master is teasing you!"

The small dried fish was being made in the kitchen, and the smell wafted all over the yard. Chen Fang hugged Sisi, who was always holding the little doll Taiping made for her.

Children always like this, and Sisi is no exception.

After Yiyang feeds her, Chen Fang watches from the sidelines. Yiyang glares at him, so Chen Fang won't be moved by it, what should be watched is to keep watching.

In late July, the peaches in the peach grove on the hill are already ripe, and they need to be picked quickly. If they are not picked, these peaches will fall and turn into peach mud on the ground, and then melt into the soil to become the nutrients of the peach trees again.

In the afternoon, Xiaoshan was busy here. The healthy woman carried a bamboo basket on her arm and did the final cleaning work on the peach forest. Many large bamboo baskets had been placed in the open space between the peach trees. At this time, several bamboo baskets were already filled with fresh peaches. .

The biggest peach has already been picked out, and a maid packed it in a bamboo basket and sent it to the son-in-law.

Chen Fang washed it clean, picked the best ones and sent them to Wu Meiniang, when he sent them, he saw Zheng Jieyu was here.

Since returning to Chang'an, Wu Meiniang lived in Tang Gongfang, but she didn't come here very often. Now I saw Wu Meiniang holding one of her hands and watching carefully.

"Zheng Jieyu is here. It just so happens that there is a clear garden in the peach grove today. These are some of the best fresh peaches."

Wu Meiniang took the biggest one and handed it to Zheng Jieyu.

Chen Fang was already sitting on the chair at this time, looking at the two slim women in front of him, they had a graceful figure, and they were extremely beautiful.Seeing them eating peaches, Chen Fang somehow wanted to eat peaches too.

They pulled Wu Meiniang, then Zheng Jieyu, a couple of beauties, peaches are naturally the best.

Chapter 729

"By the way, Zheng Jieyu, why don't you move to Tang Gongfang and be your wife's companion? Anyway, it's much colder to live in Daming Palace now, and the concubines there are basically gone, and the new king is still in Linqing Ange is recuperating, and he won't be able to return to Daming Palace in a short time, and if he doesn't go back, Daming Palace won't be able to recruit new people."

Wu Meiniang glared at him, Chen Fang patted Wu Meiniang 3 times with his hands, and then looked at her with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Ma'am, do you not want Jieyu to accompany you?"

"I think you want her to live in Tang Gongfang, and you have other plans for your own convenience."

"Where am I trying to make it easier for myself? Madam, you can't wrong me."

Chen Fang took a peach on the table, took a bite of the peach, looked at Wu Meiniang, Zheng Jieyu put down the peach pit, and looked at Wu Meiniang.

"Madam, can I move to Tang Gongfang? In fact, although the Daming Palace is much colder than before, the place I live has always been the same, and there has been no change."

"I moved here to be my companion. It just so happens that there is no one here. I only face the maids around me all day long. It's quite boring. I used to have someone to accompany me, but now I only know to accompany her little daughter."

"Mistress, what day will I not be with my lady? I accompany my lady every day, and I also bring Sisi to accompany my lady. Doesn't my lady like Sisi too!"

"Hmph, anyway, I didn't pay attention before!"

Wu Meiniang stared at her phoenix eyes, and hummed softly. The daughter's demeanor at that moment made people's hearts tremble. Then Wu Meiniang looked at Chen Fang, as if waiting for Chen Fang to answer her.

"Your Majesty, I have always been very attentive in accompanying you."

"Really? Then why can't I see it now!"

"I..., how can I find out, Madam?"

"Accompany me at least five or six hours a day, so that I can feel that you are paying attention."

"Your Majesty, then I might as well live in your yard."

"Okay, then you can live here!"

"Ah! That's what everyone in Chang'an is going to know about it."
