After the prosperous Tang Dynasty

One autumn rain and one cold, after the crops in the fields were harvested, half a month passed, and with several pattering autumn rains, the maple forest was soaked and the frost gradually became stronger.

In Huaqing Palace, Xuanzong, who came to escape the summer, finally returned to Chang'an City with Concubine Yang, a group of palace officials, and many other people who accompanied him here.

Because of a chance encounter while hunting on Lishan Mountain, intentionally or not, Liutan, where Liushi from Hedong came out, got closer to Li Chu, Li Tan and Li Wenning during this period of time.

Liu Tan looked at Li Wenning with shy admiration all the time. Although he tried his best to cover it up, he could not help but look at Li Wenning every day. In Tan's eyes, there was no way to hide it.

Li Chu and Li Tan exchanged a look, and after confirming their guesses, they also made a note in their hearts, only planning to ask Li Wenning what he thought in his heart after they went back.

As for the woman from the Zhang family who had appeared in the Huaqing Palace so abruptly before, after such a period of time, Li Chu and the others had already understood her identity and background.

After Prince Li Heng and his party returned to the East Palace, under Xuanzong's instruction, the woman from the Zhang family, who was humorous and seemed to have a rather gentle personality, was also sent to the East Palace, and the title was directly Prince Edward. Among the female relatives, the Crown Prince Liangdi is second only to the Crown Princess!

In Li Tan's courtyard, through the window of the study, one can see the rustling autumn wind and rustling leaves in the garden.Fortunately, the frosty leaves in autumn have not yet fallen, so it will not become too monotonous at the moment.

Li Wenning fiddled with a seal on the table casually, turned to look at Li Tan who was holding a book, and his elder brother Li Chu who was sitting beside him.

Li Chu breathed a sigh of relief, and said casually: "As guessed before, Zhang Liangdi's father is Zhang Quyi, and his grandmother is Mrs. Dou, the younger sister of Empress Dowager Dou."

The initial guess was confirmed, and the profound meaning of Xuanzong's move was naturally as they had imagined before.Li Tan's hand holding the book paused for a moment, and then he turned a page of the book calmly and without any meaning.

Zhang Quyi's identity can be ignored for the time being, but Mrs. Dou is an elder who is rarely able to speak in front of Xuanzong...

Therefore, when Concubine Wu Hui, who was his childhood sweetheart, was alive earlier, he loved Concubine Wu Hui to the fullest. This indulgence, even after Concubine Wu Hui designed and killed the former prince Li Ying and the other two princes, he still did not reduce the slightest bit, which is quite worthy. Li Heng, who became the crown prince after the abolition of the crown prince Li Ying, has been in a difficult situation all these years, struggling.

With Zhang Liangdi being included in the Crown Prince's East Palace, at least, to other officials in the court, it will send a signal that the East Palace is not worrying for the time being.

Li Wenning, who couldn't help but think of the former concubine Webster's, frowned slightly, inevitably becoming a little upset.

It was so convenient in Huaqing Palace before, but now that she returned to Chang'an City, she suddenly wanted to go to the nunnery outside the city to see if Wei Shi was okay recently.

However, Zhang Liangdi has just entered the door at this moment. If she chooses to meet Webster at this time, she doesn't know how she will be misinterpreted in the eyes of those who care about her. To be on the safe side, Li Wenning can only try her best to suppress this thought , Immediately felt more and more impetuous.

"As far as the current situation is concerned, it's always a good thing for the East Palace." Li Tan held the scroll in his hand, stopped turning the pages, and just commented lightly.

Li Chu nodded, his opinion was exactly the same as Li Tan's.

In particular, with Zhang's background, Xuanzong has only given her the status of Prince Liangdi at present. Seeing how Xuanzong himself has loved Concubine Wu Hui since the king and queen, he has never been canonized as a queen again. If there is no accident , come to think of it, in the East Palace, it is very likely that there will not be another crown princess...

In this way, Li Chu, who is the eldest son of the prince, can also relax a lot.

Regarding this point, Li Tan, Li Chu and Li Wenning are all well aware of this, but they have a tacit understanding that no one has ever brought it up.

Leaving aside the matter of Zhang Liangdi for now, Li Chu changed the subject, his eyes fell directly on Li Wenning, and said with a warm smile, "Stop talking about that, Wen Ning, let's talk about your affairs!"

Li Wenning was slightly taken aback, "Me? What can I say?"

When the topic came to this point, the expression on Li Tan's face seemed to become a little more relaxed. He seemed to be careless, but there was a little teasing smile in his words. Unpredictably, he opened his mouth and said, "Hedong Liutan."

"...!!!" Li Wenning subconsciously opened his eyes slightly to look at Li Tan, and at the same time was a little speechless.

Li Chu also supported Li Tan with a smile and said: "What the third brother said is very true, that Liu Tan has been hunting with us for a few days, Wen Ning, you have to open your eyes to take a closer look at him."

Over the past hundred years, between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, there have been occasional intermarriages with their own princesses. Of course, even so, it did not prevent the two sides from continuing to fight for their own interests.

If the daughter who is not favored in the prince's mansion happens to meet her, she really has to worry about being married to Tubo. However, as far as Li Wenning is concerned, as the daughter of the prince, as long as her father Li Heng's prince As long as the position never changes hands, she doesn't need to worry about this issue for a day.

The former concubine Wei Shi is the adoptive mother of Li Wenning. If she is still in the East Palace, as Li Wenning gets older, she will naturally be concerned about Li Wenning's marriage. There is no way to reach out and think about Li Wenning's marriage anymore.

As for Prince Li Heng, if it wasn't for the marriage, not to mention that he wasn't careful enough about his daughter's marriage, even Prince Li Heng's own marriage would always cause trouble. What happened to the Crown Princess Wei Shi and Du Liangdi, even if it was for a good omen, no one would dare to let the Crown Prince Li Heng handle the marriage...

The expression on Li Wenning's face changed again and again, showing a little shyness like a daughter's, but not the slightest timidity.

Holding the book in his hand, Li Tan deliberately turned his head to look at Li Wenning carefully. Seeing that there was no sign of annoyance on his elder sister's face, he was slightly relieved, and then continued to laugh and said, "Liu Tan, I I think it's not bad, but I don't know what my sister thinks?"

Li Wenning blinked, reached out and pressed Li Tan's book, and then asked without answering, "Why do you say that?"

Li Chu also had the same curiosity in his heart, and the brother and sister stared at Li Tan with somewhat similar eyes.

Li Tan let go of the book in his hand, pressed his knuckles lightly against the edge of the table, tapped twice silently, and then replied slowly: "The last time I saw Liu Tan, I felt that he saw The look at my sister is unusual."

But Li Chu didn't know there was such a thing, so he opened his eyes a little bit, smiled at the right time and said: "You are very smart."

Li Wenning glanced at Li Tan, supported his chest with one hand, and said leisurely: "Okay, there is no harm in being smart about this."

Li Wenning is exactly 21 years old now, and indeed he has reached the age to talk about marriage. As for Li Tan, he is younger than her and has not yet reached the crown, so the marriage will naturally have to wait.

After being ridiculed by his elder brother and elder sister, Li Tan still looked calm, and said calmly: "This time in Huaqing Palace, Liu Erlang can go together, presumably with his elder brother Liu Cheng and Mrs. Qin."

To put it bluntly, Liu Tan was able to appear in Huaqing Palace, but it was actually because of Concubine Yang Gui, otherwise, with his status, he would not have been named by Xuanzong.

Moreover, it is no secret that Concubine Yang has a deep relationship with the sisters in her family. Since she has been favored, the Yang family has been prominent, and Mrs. Qin and her like are obviously among them.

Li Tan said indifferently: "Let's not talk about what the imperial concubine thinks about the East Palace behind this incident. At least, when Liu Tan fell in love with my sister, she just tried every means to appear in front of her, but she didn't do too much. To involve the noble concubine in it..."

To put it bluntly, at least on this point, Liu Tan's approach is quite attractive.

When facing someone you like, just find a way to get in front of them and get acquainted first, and then say, a gentle lady and a gentleman are so good, there is no problem at all.

If this is not the case in Liutan, but with other crooked ideas, taking advantage of Concubine Yang's favor in front of Xuanzong to force Donggong to make a decision, it is not known how Prince Li Heng will deal with himself, at least, Li Chu, Li Tan The three of them, Li Wenning and Li Wenning, definitely didn't react like they did now.

Li Chu was stunned when he heard this, and nodded with a smile, "If you put it this way, then Liu Erlang seems to be a loyal and honest person."

Li Wenning pursed his lips, and also showed a little smile, and simply talked about the last time he met Liu Tan, the other party sent her horse back. That Liu Erlang was indeed thoughtful and kind.

Speaking of this, Li Chu thought for a moment, then turned to Li Wenning and asked, "Wenning, what do you really think about this matter?"

Li Wenning was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and said softly: "If I am with Liu Tan, first, I can show my favor to the noble concubine, and I think Aye will be happy to see her here, and second, Liu Tan is just like the three. What my brother said is not bad..."

Hearing this, Li Tan couldn't help but frowned slightly, and there was a flash of worry in his eyes.

Li Chu even said directly: "You just need to figure out what you want, as for the East Palace matter, it doesn't have to be like this!"

Li Wenning listened, but shook his head gently, and said calmly: "Brother, third brother, I am not willing to make such a choice just for the sake of the East Palace, but if I marry Liu Tan, in the eyes of others, it will be a big deal." On the contrary, it is the most logical result.”

Li Chu was speechless for a while.

However, in the silence, Li Tan suddenly said: "Mrs. Qin and others rely on the noble concubine to be favored, and they usually act recklessly and arrogantly. Even if my sister is with Liu Tan, I don't like it. Sister and Mrs. Qin are too close."

Li Wenning couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "If I'm with Liu Tan, but I deliberately distance myself from Mrs. Qin, I think, when those court officials and literati talk about me, they will always praise me. Just don't admire the rich and powerful."

Li Chu couldn't laugh or cry when he said this, even if it was the truth, but the daughter under the crown prince's knee is not as powerful as the imperial concubine's natal family, it is really ironic...
