Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty

Gao Yang talked too much if she didn't pay attention, and when Wu Yumei left, she was stunned for a moment, thinking, why did she say so much, just like what Wu Meiniang said, "Why did Your Highness mention something to me?", quite a bit Pay light and deep meaning.Gao Yang secretly said to himself, he needs more restraint.

Mr. Zhu came in, saw that Gao Yang was in a trance, and said softly: "Your Highness, it's time to settle down. You are sick, and you should rest more." There were many people visiting the sick during the day, and they hardly slept much.

Gao Yang was also dizzy at this time, but he was just trying to keep his spirits up.The previous emperor fined all the eunuchs and maidservants in Anren Hall for one month's salary on the grounds of not being able to take care of the princess. The monthly salary is paid out from the private treasury."

Mr. Zhu smiled and left as ordered.All the servants in Anren Hall knew that the extra monthly salary was for their peace of mind, as long as they were united and served faithfully, the princess would not abandon them.

On the other side, Wu Meiniang came out of the Anren Hall, which was full of dignity and majesty. She was still the little talented person of the fifth grade, and her mind seemed to be clearer after being blown by the cold wind.She is a person who is very good at absorbing external knowledge and reflection. She walks and thinks all the way, and she comprehends a deeper level before she reaches the door.Even if the heavens were lucky and suddenly made her a concubine, would she be able to live stably?No, her talent is far inferior to others, even if she goes up for a while, she will be squeezed out, and it will be even worse.

His Highness's words are reasonable, she can't just think about taking advantage of her strength, she should also focus on cultivating herself.But how to fix it is another problem.The ministers have the minister's law, the emperor has the emperor's law, and the empress and concubine have the empress's law, and the law is different for different positions.If she had entered the palace ten years earlier, she would not have to think about it, and she would just serve His Majesty wholeheartedly. But now, it is a bit late. His Royal Highness, Prince Ming, was born four years ago, and His Majesty has no more princes and daughters. , and the mothers of the princes are mostly concubines. Is this a coincidence, or did His Majesty do it on purpose?

A childless concubine will have a miserable life for the rest of her life.

Looking at the four concubines, they are all from famous families, born in noble families, and have been serving as servants for a long time. She can't compete, not to mention that she has no foundation now, even in ten years, she can't compete. First, she is weak. Because of her background, secondly, she and His Majesty have little affection, thirdly, she has no children to rely on, fourthly, Wu Meiniang felt a chill in her heart, straightened her mind, and continued to think about it, fourthly... Your Majesty's life is not expected!

For the fourth concubine, the first three points are the reliance that the princess can hold firmly.And she has nothing.

So, where is her advantage?

Wu Meiniang frowned and thought deeply, the candle in the room had not been extinguished all night.

On the one hand, Wu Meiniang is confused and determined like iron, but on the other end, Gao Yang, who is enlightening, is unhappy because of the emperor's interference.

Because she was ill, the emperor refused to let her go around all winter. The Furong Garden was still hers, and she could borrow whoever she liked, but King Jin held a banquet in the Furong Garden and invited young talents to come and play. She could not Go, she must take good care of her body and be the emperor's little stove.

Gao Yang was very dissatisfied, her illness had recovered early, but she couldn’t help it, the emperor specially summoned her to tell her that she had borrowed the place with the Queen of Jin, and even threatened the King of Jin, daring to help Shi Qi Niang leave the palace privately—she was not Didn't do this - just sent Yulin to chase him away when he was having a banquet.Jin Wang, a spineless coward, immediately withered, feeling deeply guilty, and dared not look at Gao Yang.

Gao Yang was so upset, she knew that there was room for Fang Yiai at this banquet, but His Majesty would not let her go.

The previous dynasty was busy as hell, because of the "enfeoffment" again, the ministers were arguing, not only Wei Zheng, who loves to sing against the emperor, but even the eldest grandson Wuji, who always followed the emperor, came to this chapter to report the badness of enfeoffment .

"This is an ancient relic, and it has its disadvantages. Otherwise, why would it have been abandoned for hundreds of years? Your Majesty should think carefully about it, please withdraw this edict, and don't follow the wrong path of the predecessors." The group of ministers said.

The emperor refused, and there was no strong support, so he was struggling.In such a situation, he even searched for Gao Yang to warn her that she was not allowed to leave the palace.How could Gao Yang not sigh?

After King Jin's banquet was over, he came to admire the beauty of Furong Garden with her, but Gao Yang lamented it was useless, so he had to settle for the next best thing, and asked everyone at the banquet, which family's lord is the most handsome, which family is good at martial arts, And which family has a brilliant literary talent.As we talked, we inevitably talked about Fang Yiai, who belongs to the category that is good at force.

"Is this Fang's widowed love the son of Fang Xiang? Their family is well-bred, and Fan Yang and Lu's family are well-deserved of their reputation." Gao Yang blinked curiously, and then praised Fang's family education.

The King of Jin recalled that young man, and said: "He, the second son of the Fang family, is quite knowledgeable about etiquette, and he is also a bit feisty. He doesn't seem to understand poetry and prose. He can dance swords. He thinks he will be able to shine in the future. .”

Gao Yang agreed, nodded, and admired Fang Yiai very much: "Wenzhiwugong, who can occupy the two characters, should not be left to the countryside. Regardless of his background, his future prospects will definitely not be bad."

King Jin was stunned when he heard that, Seventeen Niang rarely praised others so much, she turned her head, she was still a man, after thinking that it was really painful for the prince to fight with King Wei for a while, King Jin learned to think, and soon After a serious guess, could it be that Seventeen Niang wanted to recruit this person to be her son-in-law?Then he boldly said: "Seventeen Niang, why did you suddenly mention him? Do you recognize this person?"

Gao Yang was calm and composed, and said generously: "I don't know, but I talked to Sanniang of their family for a while and heard her mention it."

Just heard it mentioned?Unlikely, King Jin was very suspicious, but Gao Yang's candid tone was so blunt and unsuspecting that King Jin couldn't understand it.

Just don't understand it, let's talk about it later, this is the usual practice of King Jin for incomprehensible matters, put aside Fang Yiai, and smiled at Gao Yang: "This time, His Majesty will not allow it, and next time, I will definitely bring You go together."

Gao Yang didn't insist on holding on to the house's legacy, that would be too revealing, she said with a smile: "The spring scenery of Furong Garden is also good, how about having another banquet in late spring?"

The king of Jin agreed, and began to look forward to the scene at that time: "Not to mention throwing pots to hit the soil and shoot them down, what else can we do? There must be good food and wine, and musical performances are also indispensable. I heard that there is a new thing in Chang'an city... ..." When it came to playing, he was the best at it, so Gao Yang listened to him, listening with great interest and asking questions curiously.

At this time, Fang Yiai and Du Zijun should have been eyeing each other. In the previous life, Fang Yiai's side servant secretly told her master secrets to her.

Gao Yang has always known that the reason she didn't make a fuss with Fang Yiai about this in the previous life was because she didn't care, but this time it can be used to make a fuss.Gao Yang's smile is a bit sinister, and she looks cute and cunning on her pink and tender face. This time, I, the royal princess, will stand between you pair of wild mandarin ducks. You must seize the opportunity and take the evil Fate together.

When the winter was almost over, the "enfeoffment system" that had been arguing for a long time in the court came to fruition. On the one hand, Changsun Wuji and others made a firm statement, and on the other hand, they asked Princess Changle to play it in private. Therefore, an edict was issued to stop the hereditary enfeoffment.

Before Gao Yang and the King of Jin discussed which day they would hold the banquet and who they would invite, the emperor suddenly issued an imperial edict, ennobling Fang Xuanling as the crown prince and grand teacher, and soon gave the emperor's seventeenth daughter, Princess Gaoyang, the second wife of Xuanling. Beloved.Fang Xuanling immediately submitted his resignation, but the emperor refused to allow it, and he refused again. The third resignation was still returned, and the matter was settled.The emperor seemed determined to increase Fang's glory.

Gao Yang was surprised, and asked King Jin: "What's the matter with the prince recently?" His majesty seemed to want to increase Fang's weight, and use this to increase the weight of the East Palace.

The King of Jin said helplessly: "The crown prince wanted to build a palace, but Yu Zhining dissuaded him. The crown prince became angry from embarrassment, and Yu Zhining satirized the crown prince for not being able to accept advice. His virtue was beyond the responsibility of the East Palace. The crown prince was furious and almost ordered Yu Zhining to be beaten. .”

Gao Yang was speechless: "It's just a palace, if you don't build it, don't build it, why be stubborn?"

King Jin was also very worried. In his opinion, it would be best if the position of the crown prince was unshakable and everything remained the same. He said, "Where is a palace? Dalang felt that his majesty was damaged and he was controlled by others." He heard it from the servant in the East Palace, saying that the crown prince scolded Yu Zhining for not taking him seriously.

Gao Yang was even more speechless, she knew that Yu Zhining liked to give advice to gain fame, which was quite similar to Wei Zheng, but the difference was that Wei Zhengzhi's heart was on the country, on the king, and Yu Zhining was on himself.But never expected that he would be so good at exaggerating. When the crown prince was building a palace, he would talk about wine ponds and meat forests, and compare the crown prince to King Zhou.

"What did His Majesty say?"

The King of Jin replied: "Your Majesty said that Yu Zhining is a good admonition. You can't let the East Palace be surrounded by villains and not accept good words, and let Dalang worship Yu Zhining as the left concubine of the East Palace, and he will firmly carry out the responsibility of admonishing."

Gao Yang: "..." She achieved her goal.Seeing that King Jin was a little worried, he said, "Didn't you add Fang Xuanling to be the Grand Master? Dad still thinks highly of Da Lang."

"I'm afraid Dalang won't be able to think about it himself!" Jin Wang sighed for a long time. If the trouble continues, he will have a bad life in the future, which is really worrying.He was very worried about what to do if Dalang and Shiro had a serious fight and asked him to choose a side. He didn't understand court affairs, which one should he help?Little did he know that those two had already given up on him.

"Forget it, forget it, it will make people feel sad, let's do something happy, um, it will be fine in two or three months? The masters who were invited last time are good, but Chang'an City is here again There are quite a few talented people, did you choose one who stands out and invites you?"

Gao Yang said unhappily: "You are the master, you are the master."

King Jin didn't understand, so: "Didn't you just talk about it well, why did you lose interest all of a sudden?"

Gao Yang raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Father betrothed me to Fang Yiai, I haven't seen what that person looks like yet."

The King of Jin was stunned, and said narrowly: "What's the matter? Are you worried? Last time, when you said it, you had a lot of praise. Don't worry! The person chosen by His Majesty will definitely be good!"

Gao Yang seemed shy and uneasy and said: "What's the matter? Last time, I just heard people say that there is a handsome man, but this time..." She stopped talking, stopped appropriately, turned her red face and looked at Elsewhere, the eyes are moist, like a very shy little girl's uneasiness and panic when talking about her fiance.

King Jin's heart softened. From the looks of it, Seventeen Niang liked Fang Yiai. Think back to the last time I saw Fang Yiai. Well, it seems that he is not a person who can calm down. Do you want to talk to Your Majesty about it? If Fang Yiai can be bestowed generously, so that he knows that the favor comes from the princess, he can be more honest in the future.
