Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty

That's all, the emperor is going to the Liangyi Hall to handle government affairs, and all the sons and daughters are leaving.Gao Yang came out together with the three elder brothers. She had sharp eyes and saw that the prince's walking posture was a little weird, so she couldn't help but asked with concern: "What's wrong with Da Lang? But there is something wrong with his feet?"

The prince looked down at his legs, shook his head, and smiled lightly: "It's okay, the weather is getting warmer, it's just that I can't get used to it for a while. You guys have a little fun, I have something to do, so I'm leaving first." King Wei is here, and he will feel uncomfortable staying here for a moment.

The three of them sent off the prince respectfully.

Gao Yang looked at the prince's slightly inappropriate legs and feet, and sighed in his heart, the prince's foot disease will not heal, and it will become more and more serious.How can a prince who has foot disease and walks strangely not feel panic?And the king of Wei, who had begun to revise Kuo Di Zhi under the imperial edict, blatantly bought people's hearts for himself, and recruited wise men.

The king of Wei was overjoyed when he saw that the prince had left. He wanted to get in touch with Gao Yang, and it would be best if he could win over King Jiulang Jin together. Naturally, the prince could not be present for such a thing.He smiled as warmly as jade, and said to Gao Yang: "Just now I saw that Jiulang had sent someone to inform you, so I didn't do anything more. Fortunately, Your Majesty can understand that you have not suffered any loss."

Was it King Jin?Gao Yang was surprised: "The one who came to talk to me is Sizi's maid."

King Jin was not in a good mood, so he changed his usual gentle tone and said: "I was the one who asked people to talk to Sizi. At that time, I was in the hall and couldn't get away, so I could only secretly order the servants of Ganlu Hall to pass on the message. I'm on duty, I can't stay away for a long time, so I have to stay away and seek closer, and tell my son-in-law first—let's go to her to have a look, she should be worried too."

Gao Yang said, it was really tortuous. Seeing that she didn't care, King Jin was very angry: "You said you, what are you doing so deeply? Thirteen Niang's temperament, she wants to compare with others when she sees her, and she is only happy when she wins the competition." , it’s not that you don’t know, why bother to learn from her, it’s useless!” Both were born of the same father, and it’s inevitable to meet and talk, who doesn’t know who?

King Wei also nodded, and said earnestly: "It's not worth making a fuss about, just stay away from here." His position was obviously inclined to Gao Yang.

Gao Yang thought, how do ordinary people understand why I am making trouble?If it wasn't for this scene, how could you, Shiro, tell me so much here?When we met in the past, it was always a polite greeting.As she said, Jin An is still young, and she doesn't have the same knowledge as her. This time, she just used it to make a name for herself. The goal has been achieved, and the king of Jin is completely in favor of her. Gao Yang said with a smile: "Got it!" .” I feel quite happy.

Seeing that she didn't take the incident just now to heart, King Jin couldn't help but wanted to say a few more words, but was stopped by King Wei: "Let's go, I haven't seen Sizi for a while, Is she better? Mr. Sun has gone out of Beijing, did he say when he will come back?"

"No, he came when he said it was time." Gao Yang was a little worried.After being treated by Sun Simiao, Jinyang is obviously much better, and her complexion is not the original rosy on the surface, but a healthy temperament from the inside out, which makes everyone who cares about her very happy, but she has not yet recovered. Completely at ease, the doctor packed up his bags and wanted to leave Beijing to travel around the world.The emperor couldn't stay, so he had to give him a thousand pieces of gold, and he promised to come back.

The king of Wei, Li Xian, wanted to take over the virtuous and famous people for his own use when he saw them, so he sighed: "Such virtuous and famous people always have a temper."

Gao Yang pursed his lips and glanced at him, and King Wei somehow felt that there was a trace of understanding in that gaze, and when he looked carefully, Gao Yang said to King Jin with an innocent look: "Happy birthday, Sizi!" Here you go, you can't be stingy."

"What do you need to say? What about yourself? Don't patronize me, you will lose your face!" King Jin retorted, and the two exchanged a few words, then looked up at King Wei with the same eyes.

The king of Wei was looked at very seriously by these two stressful eyes: "Why do you look at me like this? How have I ever been stingy?" He has already opened a mansion, and his family background is the richest. Naturally, the gifts he gives to his younger siblings every year are also the heaviest. To stand shoulder to shoulder with the prince.

Satisfied, Gao Yang showed off her fox tail: "It's my turn after my son's birthday is done, Shiro won't favor one over another."

Jump into this girl's pit again!Wei Wang's face was stiff, it was obviously the first time he was cheated, so he used the word "he" very predictably, this cleverness, if only he was a few years older, it would be a good helper, a little bit in his heart It's a pity, but after thinking about it, I'm glad that it's good to start getting closer now.

Gao Yang is a smart person, he should be able to distinguish between gains and losses, he should get along well with her first, and after a long time, she will understand that Wei Wang thinks farther, Gao Yang's big marriage, according to the current situation, His Majesty will never She is willing to let her marry badly, and then, through her, she can win another powerful family, which is really a bargain.

King Wei thought he had a good chance of winning, so he agreed unambiguously: "Whatever Seventeen Niang wants, but speaking of it, I will find it for you in the sky and sea."

Gao Yang's small mouth was so sweet that he said euphemistically: "I don't need anything, Shiro can give you anything, it's what you want." After finishing speaking, he looked at King Jin, who understood her hint, he couldn't help it, and nodded: "I know, I know, it's definitely not my fault."

When Gao Yang was happy, his eyes would be narrowed like a little fox. King Jin was used to being oppressed by her, and she could sometimes give him ideas to help him deal with His Majesty, so she never thought of resisting. Seeing her eyes crooked now, I knew she should be in a good mood, and she became happy.

The three of them had their own ideas and were satisfied with each other. They went to see Jinyang in harmony along the way.

Jinyang's birthday is in May, and not long after finishing his birthday, news came from Qidi that King You of Qi was ill, and he missed his father while he was ill.

When Gao Yang heard the news, he was admiring the flowers in the Imperial Garden. The servant who was sweeping outside the Ganlu Hall rushed over and whispered in her ear. Gao Yang nodded and gave him ten gold: "Remember to stick to your duty."

The servant's surname is Guo, and his name is Yi.When he saw the money, he immediately smiled. He thought that his status was low and he would not attract attention. He thought that there was no hope of getting ahead, but he was lucky enough to be caught by Princess Gao Yang, so he immediately knelt down and shouted: "The little one will live up to expectations." .”

Gao Yang didn't like him on a whim, she observed for a long time, the servants in the palace were the emperor's confidantes, and they couldn't be bribed, so he had to settle for the next best thing and buy off the people outside the palace. Guo Yi is very flexible, cautious in handling things, and What Gao Yang rewarded was unmarked money, even if she found out, it could not be blamed on her, Guo Yi must have known about it, and he was even more cautious to protect himself.

Gao Yang smiled, and Guo Yi withdrew.

Wulang is about to enter the capital, and a battle for the throne among the kings has begun. The crown prince and the king of Wei may not know that the king of Qi has ambitions.Gao Yang stood on the veranda in the open air, staring at the pond full of lotus flowers under the scorching sun. No one knew what she was thinking, but Mr. Zhu stepped forward: "It's hot, Your Highness should go into the pavilion to escape the heat."

The pavilion has prepared sweet and cool sour plum soup, which is very refreshing, Gao Yang walked over, sat down, drank half a bowl, and asked people to feed the fish with fish food.

"His Royal Highness's birthday is approaching, and Su Jieyu also sent a congratulatory gift." Mr. Zhu said, Su Jieyu is Jin An's mother. After Jin An's incident, Su Jieyu came to Anren Hall to apologize , Gao Yang, please don't hold grudges against Jin'an, keep your posture very low, and don't put yourself in the position of Gao Yang's concubine at all, which makes Gao Yang sigh.

She thought of her mother. Her mother had a difficult labor when she gave birth to her, but she still gave birth to her with her last breath before closing her eyes. Now she really wants to see the mother she has never met. If she is here, she should be too. Love her like Su Jieyu loves Jin An.Gao Yang thought that her mother was just a beauty until she died, so she wondered if she could find a way to seal Ai Rong. During her mother's lifetime, she was not good enough to be filial, and her mother would always comfort her for the things behind her.

"Help me remember, if Su Jieyu has a happy event in the future, we will also give a gift." Gao Yang said.Mr. Zhu took it down carefully, and said again: "Your Highness has grown taller, and I can't even wear last year's clothes. Let the sewing bureau make new ones."

Has grown tall?Gao Yang opened his eyes wide, nodded his head: "En." After a pause, he curled up his lips and smiled happily and nodded again: "En."

When a child hears that she has grown taller, she is always excited and joyful. Seeing her like this, Mr. Zhu thought that she was just like all children. He was delighted that he was getting closer to an adult, so he smiled and said, "Is your highness in a hurry to grow up?" ?”

"Yes." Gao Yang sighed, looking very helpless: "You don't know my troubles, I haven't grown up, and no one listens to me." She wanted to recruit soldiers and recruit her confidants, but her little Small appearance, who would follow?Even Guo Yi, a small eunuch, spent a lot of effort.

Mr. Zhu couldn't help laughing when he saw her deeply moved, he half teased her and half seriously said: "What did His Highness say? Aren't the servants only obeying His Highness's order?"

Hearing this, Gao Yang glanced at Mr. Zhu, raised her delicate chin like a sculpture, and was as proud as a lion cub: "You are my people, if I can't accept you, what else am I busy with? It’s better to have a lifetime of Yongyong.”

Mr. Zhu was startled, these words were really not something a ten-year-old girl could say, but soon he was relieved, according to her highness's usual behavior, it is not surprising to be able to say such things.

But Gao Yang had already gone to other places: "I wear clothes and hairpins, you can just take care of them. Wulang is sick, and he may go to Beijing, you should secretly prepare medicinal materials and send them when the time comes." When she saw Guo Yi, she said yes I saw them alone, and others didn't know what they said.

Mr. Zhu was surprised: "Will King Qi want to enter the capital? Everyone agrees?"

Gao Yang smiled: "Preparation is safe. Prepare first, so as not to be in a hurry."

As soon as Mr. Zhu thought it was reasonable, he agreed seriously, thinking about the close relationship between the princess and the king of Qi, and what kind of things should be given to match the king of Qi.

Gao Yang was very satisfied to see that Mr. Zhu was willing to think hard.Mr. Zhu is the palace man chosen for her by Empress Changsun. He is four years older than her.What she has to do now is different. Mr. Zhu, as the most valued confidant around her, has to bear more and more difficult things. Now she may not be able to do the best, but it doesn't matter, as long as she is willing to do it and think about it, she can do it. He will guide her from the sidelines until she can be alone, and will never abandon her.As long as those who follow her are loyal enough, she will not treat them badly.

"You draw up the gift list as soon as possible to have a look at it with me." Gao Yang said.

Mr. Zhu nodded hurriedly, and replied respectfully yes, she was also afraid that she would not be able to grasp the scale and make His Highness look bad.

A few days after Mr. Zhu prepared the gift list, he heard that His Majesty issued an imperial edict calling Qi Wangyou to return to Beijing to recover from his illness.Qi Wangyou thanked his father for his kindness, and rushed to Chang'an without stopping.

The author has something to say:

☆、Chapter Thirteen

In the Ganlu Hall, a young man with a golden crown and hair and a face like a jade crown was kneeling at the emperor's knee, leaning on the emperor's knee, and crying bitterly: "I don't see you, my father, my heart is terrified, and I am sick from longing, and it will take a long time to recover."

The emperor was relieved, and smiled lovingly and patted King Qi on the shoulder: "My son is young and old, but he is still like a child. Now that he is in Beijing, he can take a good rest, and the rest don't need to worry too much."

King Qi choked up, his eyes full of admiration and gratitude.

As soon as Gao Yang entered the Ganlu Hall, he saw such a touching scene.

"The Seventeenth Mother is here." Seeing Gao Yang coming in, the Emperor hurriedly signaled King Qi to get up, and said to Gao Yang, "Come closer."

King Qi lowered his head and raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears. Gao Yang saw that his face was full of tears, and he felt a little disgusted in his heart, and it was difficult to show it. , let's take a look, I don't want to come early and disturb Wulang and father to express his feelings, will father not blame you?"

The emperor laughed, he just likes Gao Yang who is so bright and cheerful, and sometimes a little narrow-minded. Over there, King Qi has already taken care of himself. He was already handsome a few years ago, and now he is even more handsome and mature. The red and swollen eyes and the pale face that is still sick make him a little more pitiful, which makes people feel good.

Earlier, Gao Yang felt that Wulang was a person who could pretend to be the most hypocritical, but now he has strengthened his intuition.

"It's a pity that we rushed to Chang'an so fast that we didn't make it to Seventeen Niang's birthday," King Qi looked at Gao Yang with a smile, and when he said this, he bowed his head and coughed twice, raised his head and said with a pure smile, "But The congratulatory gift has not been forgotten, and someone will send you to the palace after a while."

"Then thank Wulang first." Gao Yang said happily. After she finished speaking, she saw the fleeting disdain in King Qi's eyes. Gao Yang bent his lips and turned to look at the emperor: "After a while, Dalang, Shiro and Jiulang are coming soon. Let's go and see Sizi."

After saying this, Gao Yang felt that the disdain in King Qi's eyes was even more mocking, she just ignored it, the emperor didn't notice anything wrong, he nodded and said: "Well, you go, and don't rush back, come and accompany me at night dinner."

Gao Yang was overjoyed, he turned around and went out of the palace to look for Jin Yang.

The emperor looked at Gao Yang's short back with loving eyes, until he saw her carefully stepping over the high threshold of the hall, then he turned his head and said to King Qi: "You have not recovered from your illness, you should take good care of it, I will not set it up." The banquet has cleaned up the dust for you, when Chengqian and Taier come, you brothers just catch up with each other."

King Qi has always been paying attention to the emperor's expression and eyes, Father also has a generous and benevolent paternal love like a mountain, with the prince Wei, King Jin, and Princess Jinyang, and even Gao Yang, but rarely with him.Hearing the emperor's words, King Qi smirked inwardly, but said with emotion on his face: "Father cares, and Er Ming feels deeply."

The emperor smiled, waved his hand, and told him to go to the side hall to rest, and called the imperial physician to diagnose the pulse of King Qi.

Gao Yang came out of Ganlu Hall, picked up the corner of her skirt and trotted towards Jinyang's room. She has grown a lot in the past few months, and all the skirts she wears are newly measured and made by the Garment Bureau. What she wears is a colorful chest-length skirt, a headdress of gold hairpins and pearls, a face that is as smooth as jade, and a pair of eyes that are lightly cut.

Jinyang is learning Feibaishu, and he is practicing more and more every day. His little hands can start writing as soon as they can grasp the pen.Although Gao Yang also paid attention to reading and practicing calligraphy, and spent a lot of time on it every day, he didn't really delve into it like Jin Yang did.

Gao Yang was unremarkable, walked into the study, walked behind Jin Yang who was sitting upright, and saw the words written on that piece of paper, like a bird's head and a swallow's tail, like a bird's head and a phoenix's tail, with strokes Slightly dewy white, suitable for moistening dryness, has a special charm, and has already obtained the essence of Feibai.

Gao Yang admired from the bottom of his heart, but didn't make a sound. He just stood behind Jinyang and watched her devote herself to each stroke, every word with heart.Jin Yang holds the pen hanging on his wrist, concentrating on the paper, the room is fragrant and quiet, and the smoke from the Boshan stove is like clouds and mist, making people extremely calm and relaxed.

Gao Yang stepped back and sat on the couch behind him, holding a cup of incense, squinting his eyes, drinking tea quietly and comfortably.It was already an hour after Jinyang put down his pen.Jin Yang jumped down from the couch, and was about to ask the maid to hang up her written works to observe the strength and sharpness of the writing, when he heard someone behind him say with a smile: "It's better than last time."

Jin Yang turned around in surprise, and when he saw the person who made the sound, his face was stained with pure joy, and he jumped in front of Gao Yang and said, "Are you here?"

"It's so written that the sleeves are stained with ink." Gao Yang glanced at her sleeves, reproached and doted on her.Jin Yang lowered his head for a glance, then smiled and said, "I didn't pay attention to it just now." She has small arms and short arms, and her sleeves are wide and flowing, so it's inevitable that she loses sight of one when she swipes her hair.

Gao Yang smiled, straightened up, straightened her soft sideburns, and brought her to sit beside him.Jin Yang felt a little hungry, so he casually took a pastry to taste, holding a handkerchief in front of his body to prevent the pastry powder from scattering on his dress. Her movements were gentle and elegant, and she could already see the deep cultivation of the royal family .

After eating a piece, he thought it tasted very good. Jin Yang turned around and raised his head again, and stuffed a piece into Gao Yang's mouth very naturally. Feed me, I'll feed you, a small plate of delicate snacks is almost bottomed out.

"Father wants to have dinner together later, you have to save your stomach." Gao Yang swallowed the last mouthful, took another sip of tea, and then said.

When eating, it will not speak.The same is true for Jin Yang, who nodded after he swallowed all the food in his mouth, and asked again: "Wulang is back, do you want to eat together?"

"Isn't he sick? His Majesty will probably ask him to go back to the palace first, and we will discuss whether to hold a banquet after he recovers." Gao Yang can still get a little bit of an idea of ​​what the emperor thinks about these things.

"Then Dalang and Shiro are always there?" She could see King Jin every day, so she didn't ask.Gao Yang guessed again, and said: "It should be here." The East Palace is close, the emperor often summons the crown prince to have dinner, and the king of Wei is also often summoned to the palace outside the palace, so it should not be the time before the meal will send these two away again Walk.

Jin Yang trusts Gao Yang very much, she does what she says.Seeing that there was still time left, the two of them sent someone to the Ganlu Hall to see what was said there. The main hall of the Ganlu Hall was very close to Jinyang's residence, and they only visited each other for two minutes. The servant went and came back to report: "King Qi is taking his leave, everyone please invite the two Highnesses to come over."

Just as Gao Yang expected, when they went, they met King Qi who came out.As soon as he left the Ganlu Hall, King Qi seemed to come alive, with an unruly look in the corners of his eyes, and his pale face made this look even more morbid.The two sides smiled and greeted each other, and when they passed each other, Gao Yang heard King Qi lower his voice, and said sarcastically in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Being King Jin and King Jin How does it feel to have a dog next to Yang to catch the emperor's attention?"

Gao Yang didn't even frown, the corners of his mouth kept slightly raised, and he brushed past him dignifiedly and calmly, as if nothing had happened.

When we arrived at Ganlu Hall, everyone was there, Gao Yang said: "I met Wulang just now, coughing all the time, listening to it is really worrying, father, why don't you issue an imperial edict, don't let people who don't know visit you in a file, and disturb Wulang on the contrary Rest."

This is a trivial matter, nothing to do, the emperor agreed without thinking about it, and asked people to do it, which also showed his love for his son.

Gao Yang smiled, others don't know what King Qi came to Beijing for, she doesn't know?Isn't it just to contact officials in Beijing and China to satisfy his ambition to monopolize the country?Dare to ridicule me, father issued an edict not to allow people to visit the palace, and you can't go out when you are sick, I see who you connect with.

The author has something to say: King Qi held the imperial edict in his hand, tears streaming down his face: "I am so happy that Dad suddenly cares about me, but this concern came at a wrong time."

Gao Yang: "I'll let you be mean, scold me, and kill me. You won't even let you know who did it."
