Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty

"Dead?" Li Mingda stood up and looked at Tian Hanshan in surprise, "She was fine yesterday, but she died today?"

"That's what I said, so the slave's trick of saying that the son is too... But think about it, only she is dead, this matter can just meet Wei Erniang's previous request and solve it perfectly." Tian Hanshan pondered for a while, and said with emotion "Your lord, think about it. If she dies, the marriage will be fine, and it will be an explanation to the Fang family. In this way, there is no need to disturb the saint, and the Wei family's reputation will be preserved."

Li Mingda nodded, but she felt that things were not that simple, and Fang Yizhi was not a person who would leave behind things.After all, Wei Wanshu is also a noble daughter, and the two of them are related by the saint's finger of marriage. If he really killed Wei Wanshu, if someone catches him in the future, he will surely be doomed.

"Go!" Li Mingda went to the door.

Tian Hanshu was stunned for a moment, "Where is your lord going?"

"Department of Mirror."

"Didn't you say you won't go today?"

"You talk too much."

……

Der Spiegel.

Li Mingda got off his horse and quickly entered the room, and sure enough, he saw Fang Yi was waiting in the main hall.He was not surprised to see Li Mingda coming, and he felt that Li Mingda, who was always on time, was late today.

"Princess, I don't intend to—" Tian Hanshan said quickly.

Li Mingda cast a warning glance at Tian Hanshan, who immediately shut up.

Fang Yi said with a warm smile, "Thank you, Princess."

Obviously, Fang Yizhi already understood that he came here specially for his business.

Li Mingda was not polite, and asked Fang Yi to explain directly before sitting down and waiting for tea.

"It's a feigned death. Wei Shuyu released the news, and Jingzhao Mansion has been notified, and the household registration has been treated as a dead person." Fang Yizhi explained simply, and answered Li Mingda's doubts clearly and quickly.

"You discussed with Wei Shuyu?" Li Mingda asked.

Fang Yi nodded, "He is the future Duke of the State, once Mr. Zheng is gone, he will naturally be in charge of all affairs of the Duke's Mansion."

Li Mingda thought for a while, and couldn't help sighing: "Wei Wanshu doesn't know if she knows about it. If she doesn't know, there will be a lot of excitement now."

"This is a matter of their mansion, and there is nothing we can do about it. People always have to pay for their mistakes, not to mention that Wei Erniang is a person who doesn't know what to do and dares to threaten the princess. She can end up like the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha. God's kindness to her is the best. Besides, if there are family members who settle her down personally, she won't be too poor." Fang Yizhi explained.

Li Mingda nodded, and turned to look at Fang Yizhi with bright eyes, "You have a good idea."

"This person is dead, now it's time to think about something good." Fang Yi sighed.

good thing?Li Mingda blinked his eyes before realizing that Fang Yizhi's so-called good deeds refer to the two of them.She put her face on her hands, turned her head sideways, avoiding Fang Yizhi's gaze, and muttered in a low voice, "Then you have to work hard, you will end up in trouble, don't expect me to speak."

"Okay." Fang Yi agreed.

"Don't talk about it recently, I have to settle the Cui family first." Li Mingda instructed again.

"Okay." Fang Yizhi agreed again.

"It's best to wait a month or so. On the day of my mother's death, when you talk about this matter, mention the Empress Changsun more and show your loyalty. It may go smoother than usual."

"Okay." Fang Yizhi said with a smile this time.

Li Ming thought that speaking like this might seem like he was too anxious, so he coughed twice in embarrassment, said goodbye to Fang Yi, and left in a hurry.

Before Li Mingda left, he specifically asked Fang Yizhi to rest for two more days and not to forget the sacred edict.

Fang Yizhi then went to Zheng Guogong's mansion and met with Wei Shuyu.In the eyes of outsiders, Fang Yizhi went to mourn his fiancée who had just died.

Seeing Fang Yi coming directly, Wei Shuyu had a complicated expression, and felt very dull in his heart, not knowing whether to welcome him or not.

"Don't let my mother see you." Wei Shuyu sighed, and immediately told the servants beside him to keep this matter secret.

"I know that this matter is our Wei family's fault, but it's better not to see this situation now."

"Leave after finishing talking, just ask if you have been sent away?"

"Not yet, crying with my mother in the backyard. The mother and daughter who have been together for more than ten years are naturally sad to part." Wei Shuyu sighed.

"The night is long and the dream is full. If you stay for one more day, you will be in danger. If someone finds out, not only will her life be lost, but the reputation of the Wei family, which she wants to preserve the most, will also be ruined. Of course, it is not ruled out that he is using the reputation of which family as an excuse." , to fulfill my ambition, then just pretend I didn’t say anything, and you can do whatever you want.” Fang Yi said bluntly, then turned to leave.

Wei Shuyu hurriedly asked Fang Yizhi. After being embarrassed for a while, he said to Fang Yizhi: "I'm not in a good mood right now, and I understand the reason. I'll come back to apologize to you in a few days. Thank you for reminding me about today's matter." .”

"Besides, you will definitely annoy your sister very much if you kill first and play later. I think he will use many methods to reverse the situation, and even make up some words to stimulate you. I hope you can have your own judgment. It is very important to kill relatives righteously. Everyone can do it, and it's great that you can do this." Fang Yizhi patted Wei Shuyu's shoulder comfortingly, turned around and left.

Wei Shuyu nodded, stood at the door and looked at Fang Yizhi's back as he left, without returning to his senses for a long time.

After a while, the butler hurried over to report to Wei Shuyu that the backyard was noisy.Wei Shuyu quickly picked up his robe and ran to the backyard.

Wei Wanshu and Mrs. Pei were alone in the room, and Mrs. Pei was frightened by Wei Wanshu's clamor that she wanted to commit suicide.

Wei Shuyu rushed over and saw Wei Wanshu huddled in the bed, holding scissors against her neck, tears streaming down her face.On the other hand, Mrs. Pei fell to the ground and cried, begging Wei Wanshu not to hurt herself.

Wei Shuyu hurriedly supported his mother, looked at Wei Wanshu with cold eyes, "How much trouble do you have to bring to the family!"

"Brother, how could you suddenly announce that I'm dead?" Wei Wanshu had a look of disbelief.

"Don't do this, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it." Wei Shuyu avoided looking into Wei Wanshu's eyes, but helped Pei to sit down.

Pei wailed, clutched Wei Shuyu's arm and looked up at him.Wei Shuyu had already discussed this matter with her last night. Her daughter did such a shameful thing, and there was only one way to preserve the reputation of the Wei family, so she finally agreed.But seeing Wei Wanshu's reluctance now, Pei's heart still hurts after all.

"You keep saying that you did those things for the good of the Wei family, but when you really want to do something to preserve the reputation of the Wei family, why are you so wronged?" Wei Shuyu patted Pei's hand and took a deep breath. He turned his head and questioned Wei Wanshu with a cold face.

"They must want me to die? I already have a way to solve this matter!"

"You said that you went to threaten the princess yesterday? Do you have a brain or not, my clever sister back then!" Wei Shuyu was so angry that his heart, liver and lungs ached.

Mrs. Pei frowned at the side, she was only crying and had no energy to speak.

"What's wrong with the princess? I know her secret, and she doesn't dare to do anything to me." Wei Wanshu shouted, and then she stared at Wei Shuyu, "Aren't you wondering what the princess's secret is? Her eyes, ears, nose—"

"Brother Yizhi has already told me, and I also know that the reason why you were able to know the princess's secret is because you went to the forbidden area when you were related to the former prince, and then overheard the princess's speech in front of the stone statue of the eldest grandson queen. the words said."

Wei Wanshu was stunned: "I didn't tell anyone about this, how did you know?"

"So how dare you threaten the princess? You thought she didn't know about you, but she already knew about it. You just wanted to help conceal it because of our Wei family relationship, but you provoked her. Who is the princess? What kind of temperament? She repeatedly solves strange cases, will she be threatened by your little trick? If it wasn't for brother Yizhi's intercession, the princess would have already sued the saint, and our Wei family would be ruined right now." Wei Shuyu sighed, "You don't even have I thought about it, if this secret is released to the public, people ask you how you know it, how do you explain it? The matter between you and the former prince will definitely be pulled out! Besides, it is not impossible for the princess to fall off the cliff, and her body has some changes. It's not a shameful thing, why are you threatening this?"

Wei Wanshu was stunned.

Pei Shi was confused and asked Wei Ruyu what the secret was.Wei Shuyu ordered people to help Mrs. Pei back to rest first, and then talk about other things later.

Immediately, only Wei Shuyu and Wei Wanshu were left in the room.

Wei Shuyu had heard enough of Wei Wanshu's cries, and felt that if this matter continued to entangle, it would be endless, and now he could only cut the mess quickly.Have someone take Wei Shu and Wei Wanshu away immediately.

Wei Wanshu cried in despair, staring at Wei Shuyu, "Where are you sending me? How can you be so cruel?"

"It's not that I'm cruel, it's the things you did that caused you to end up where you are today. Now that the well-behaved and sensible second wife of the Wei family is dead, after you leave, don't have anything to do with the Wei family anymore." Contact, I will leave enough money for you, and I will also arrange for you a few servants who can do things reasonably." Wei Shuyu suddenly thought of Zhou Xiaohe back then, and couldn't help sneering at himself, and I didn't expect that one day my own sister It will end up the same way as her.

Wei Wanshu cried with her head down. She knew that the matter had come to this point and there was no way out. Apart from being overwhelmed by grief, she was so choked up that she could no longer speak.

"The Taoist temple I chose for you has a very good reputation, and the Taoist nuns there are also famous for their cultivation. Follow them one day and Xu Zhen will be able to cultivate immortality. This is the way for your Wei family to earn their reputation." Wei Shuyu finally bid farewell to Wei Wanshu, They asked people to quickly and secretly prepare the carriage, and sent Wei Wanshu away from Chang'an City through the back door.

It was getting late, and Wei Shuyu, who had calmed down, reported the matter to Mrs. Pei. Mrs. Pei fainted once from crying, but there was nothing he could do in the end.After the mood stabilized a bit, Mrs. Pei asked Princess Wei Shuyu what the secret was.

"It's hard to talk about this matter. Brother Yi Zhi warned me before, it's best not to let too many people know."

"What's the matter? What taboos do we have between mother and son? Besides, you only tell me, and I won't tell others." Pei said.

"After falling off the cliff, the princess's eyes, ears and nose are different from those of ordinary people. She often sees, hears and smells things that ordinary people cannot see, hear or smell." Wei Shuyu said.

"That's all? No details?" Pei asked.

Wei Shuyu nodded, "It's quite clear, what else can I elaborate on?"

Pei rolled her eyes, and asked Wei Shuyu in horror, "You mean, the princess can see those unclean things?"

Wei Shuyu nodded slowly, "That should be the case. No wonder when I was traveling with the princess before, I occasionally saw the princess concentrating for a long time with a sullen face. This incident should also be a big stimulus for the princess. It's hard to imagine her alone. Weak girls have to face this, the reason why they hide it from the saint is probably because they don't want the saint to worry."

"It's really a ghost. I don't know what it looks like. I feel scared when I think about it. The princess can see and hear... By the way, it must be because he fell from such a high cliff and walked through the ghost gate. "It's not easy for the princess." Pei lamented that it was too much for her daughter to threaten the princess with such a thing these days, "I'm really disappointed in your second sister! But I have to arrange her. I still need to contact her once in a while to see how she is doing."

Wei Shuyu agreed, please rest assured Mrs. Pei, he has arranged everything.

Three days later, Luo Ge rushed back from outside Chang'an city, and Fang Yi reported directly.

Fang Yizhi was sitting in the room holding the black bull, stroking the golden bell on its neck with one hand, and teasing him with a small dried fish in the other.Hei Niu made a grunting sound from his mouth, and used his little black claws to grab the small dried fish in Fang Yizhi's hand from time to time. He scratched back and forth anxiously, but he would sit firmly on Fang Yizhi's hand. In his arms, he will not lose his balance and fall.After it eats a small dried fish, it will look up at the house immediately with its neck up, and wait for him to pick up the next one cleverly.

This cat is about to become a spirit, Luo Ge thought.

"Is it done?"

"It's all right, they are all from us. She can't resist anything as a weak woman. Even if she has money, she can't use her strength. Besides, our people are watching her. From then on, the Wei family We must not be able to contact you," Luo Ge replied.

"Well, she deserves it." After Fang Yizhi finished speaking, he stuffed a small dried fish into Hei Niu's mouth.

Hei Niu ate to his heart's content, happily nestled in Fang Yizhi's arms, licked his paws and washed his face.

Luo Ge glanced at it, and felt that the cat had become more refined.

"Even if this matter is over, there is no need to mention it in the future." Fang Yi said straightly.

Luo Ge promised that he would forget it soon.He has done this kind of thing before, if he remembered everything, wouldn't he be very tired.

When Li Shimin was free today, he remembered to ask about the Wei family, "Why did the second wife of the Wei family die suddenly?"

"It is said that the second wife of the Wei family worshiped Wei Gong the most. Because of the excessive grief of losing her father, she kept sleeping and eating during the filial piety, and lost weight every day. Later, because she missed her father too much, she had a dream. In the dream, Wei Gong said that She, she woke up the next day and said that she would go with her father, then she hit the coffin and went away."

"This is a strong and filial little girl, and the decree will be passed down, so that the Wei family will bury her generously." Li Shimin sighed.

Fang Qirui agreed, and ordered to continue.

Li Mingda came at this time, he greeted Li Shimin with a smile, and went to Li Shimin's side to ask him if he wanted to play chess.

"Oh? Why are you in such a good mood today, remember to play chess with Aye?" Li Shimin asked.

"When my son was reflecting on the case in the past few days, he thought about himself by the way. In order to solve the case these days, he seems to have neglected Aye, so he plans to spend a lot of time with Aye in these two days."

"Oh, I'm grown up and sensible, Aye is very pleased. Let's go." Li Shimin said with a happy smile.

Li Mingda grabbed Heizi and played first.

Li Shimin looked at her with raised eyebrows, "Is this why you are filial to Aye?"

"Then you go first." Li Mingda said.

Li Shimin was also polite, "I won't move anymore, and I'll leave this place too."

Li Mingda looked at Li Shimin, and followed the black pawn he had just dropped, and played the white pawn.

"Have you heard about the second wife of the Wei family?" Li Shimin asked Li Mingda as he settled down.

"I heard that she is a filial daughter. However, the parents who are physically and mentally affected, I think that if Wei Gong is alive, he must hope that his children can live well, instead of seeking death like this. To be filial, one should be in life." Li Mingda road.

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and looked at Li Mingda amusedly, "You girl, it's so hard to come to me to play chess today. Could it be that you were touched by this incident?"

"No, long live my Aye." Li Mingda argued.

When Li Shimin heard this, his heart felt even warmer, and he smiled gratifiedly, "Everyone has this step, and Aye really feels that his body is not as good as before in the past two years."

"Aye, if you don't feel well, you need to take care of it. The Tai Chi Palace has spent so much money to support so many imperial physicians. It is not easy to find someone who knows how to keep in good health and how to live a long life. Find the right way. , Aye's health is guaranteed to be as good as before. It's just that the imperial doctor in the palace is not good, so let's look for it outside the palace. My daughter will go back to the Department of Mirrors tomorrow and ask people to draw up a notice to find good doctors from all over the world. We can't wait for the illness to come If you keep your body strong, before the disease comes, it will not be able to knock on the door." Li Mingda said metaphorically.

Li Shimin laughed when he heard this, "Why did you suddenly mention this today, girl?"

"It's nothing, I just thought of it suddenly."

Li Shimin is so smart, he looked Li Mingda around, and asked her: "Is it something about the Wei family that touched you, so you are nervous Aye?"

Li Mingda lowered his head.

When Li Mingda acquiesced, Li Shimin patted his daughter's hand in relief, quite satisfied.Immediately, he did not deny Li Mingda's kindness, and asked her to issue a notice to find a good doctor.With such a good daughter by his side, he was indeed extremely reluctant, and wished he could live two more years.

"Aye, if my daughter loses this game of chess, can you promise her one thing?" Li Mingda asked.

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then stared at Li Mingda, "Are you sure you are right, you made me agree when you lost? Shouldn't it be you who won?"

"Aye, Sizi's chess skills are not as good as yours, so I really want you to agree to this matter, so naturally I bet that I have a better chance of winning if I lose." Li Mingda said coquettishly.

Li Shimin had no choice but to say, "You girl, when did you learn to cheat. Let me guess if Yuchi Baoqi led you into trouble."

"No, no," Li Mingda laughed, and asked Li Shimin whether he would agree or not.

"You've already said that. It seems that you sincerely hope that I can agree to this matter. Can I not agree? Okay, don't care about winning or losing, just talk about it. But you have to play chess well, and you can't do it on purpose. Lose to me, otherwise it would be meaningless to win."

"We must do our best." After Li Mingda promised, he said to Li Shimin, "Sizi heard that Cui Gan sent the Linglong Revolving Pagoda to Aye. I also know the origin of this pagoda."

After Li Shimin took his son, he paused after hearing what Li Mingda said, then slowly raised his eyes to look at Li Mingda, "What do you want to say?"

Li Mingda got up and knelt down in front of Li Shimin, "My daughter will not marry the Cui family."

Another moment of silence.

After Li Shimin observed Li Mingda quietly for a while, he turned his eyes to the chessboard, and then put the chess piece down steadily.

"Tell me why."

"There is no reason for this kind of thing. Just like between people, some have fate and some don't." Li Mingda replied.

"Then tell me, who is destined for you." Li Shimin looked sideways, staring at Li Mingda coldly.

Li Mingda was tempted to tell the truth, but seeing her father's current attitude, it was difficult for her to speak out.She doesn't want to get angry about this kind of thing, and she doesn't want to test any father-daughter relationship.Her father has her father's considerations, she knows, and she doesn't do things on the spur of the moment, she doesn't want to talk fast, she just wants to succeed.Now that Li Shimin's attitude is not good, Li Mingda is naturally sensible and will not talk about it.

Seeing his daughter bowing her head, Li Shimin fell silent, raised the corners of her mouth, and told her to stand up and continue playing chess with him.

Li Mingda was puzzled, he thought that he would be questioned by his father in the second half of the game, but he didn't expect that Li Shimin didn't question himself when the game was over.

"You lost, Aye kept his promise, and the matter of the Cui family will not force you." Li Shimin said.

Li Mingda secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly thanked Li Shimin.

"Aye knows that you have someone in mind. If you don't want to say it, Aye won't ask, just wait for the day you tell me." Li Shimin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and looked at Li Mingda with a half-smile. too much."

Hearing Li Shimin's emotion, Li Mingda pondered over and over in his heart, but he still didn't understand Li Shimin's attitude.After resigning, she took a look and asked someone to send a letter to Fang Yizhi, informing her of the results of today's testing.

Three days later, Li Mingda and Fang Yizhi met again at the Department of Mirrors.

Li Mingda suggested: "I'm not sure what the old man is thinking, otherwise wait and postpone it to next year."

"There is a Cui family today, I'm afraid there will be Zhao family, Wang family and Sun family in the future, I can't wait. Besides, the timing is right now, as the princess said before, it will be on the day of the queen's death."

Li Mingda nodded and sighed, "Success or failure depends on this."

"Undefeated," Fang Yi laughed straight, reaching out to caress Li Mingda's cheek, "Princess, please don't worry too much, trust me."

Li Mingda knew that Fang Yizhi was trying to comfort him. He was obviously more worried than himself. After all, as a princess, although she was a little uneasy about this matter, she was the emperor's daughter. The safety of himself and the whole family is on the line, but Fang Yizhi is different, he is just a courtier.

Li Mingda took a breath slowly, and nodded to Fang Yi with a full face of trust.

Li Mingda grabbed Fang Yizhi's hand, looked at him, thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, let's elope."

Fang Yi chuckled straight away, his smiling eyes were shining brightly, "How could the princess think of this?"

"Look at the marriages that the elders don't agree with, there are people who do it. Besides, I haven't eloped before, and I haven't experienced this feeling. Although I am a princess, I can suffer from the folks, not to mention that we all have some brains, and even say It's quite smart, even if you have no money, you must have a way to make a living, and you won't live too poorly."

"The princess can let go of the saint, as well as sisters and brothers?" Fang Yi asked directly.

"Can't let go." Li Mingda asked, "What about you?"

Fang Yi looked at Li Mingda with burning eyes.

"You don't need to answer, you definitely can't let it go. Mrs. Lu is so good, so is Fang Gong, and your sister, brother and sister, who can let it go." Li Mingda pursed his lips helplessly, "It's just too much. .”

Fang Yizhi smiled gently, but clenched Li Mingda's hand even tighter.

A month later.

In midsummer, it is sweltering, and the cicadas are constantly singing. Chang'an City is like a fire. Even if a person sits motionless, even in a cool place, his body will still be covered with sweat.

Li Shimin went to the Taoist temple to pay homage to Empress Changsun, and returned to Chang'an City with his children at noon.In the end, Li Shimin only took Li Mingda and Li Zhi back to the Lizheng Palace, and asked about Li Tai's situation. He learned that he was doing well in Dingzhou, so he wrote a letter telling him not to apologize for not being able to come back to mourn, and that his son paid homage to his mother. It can be done anywhere, even if it is held in Dingzhou, Empress Changsun will definitely feel her childlike heart.

A lot of ice was sprinkled in the Lizheng Hall to cool down, so the inside of the hall is very cool.After Li Shimin came back, he just sat down and relieved a lot.

"Not to mention, drinking the health-preserving soup prepared by the imperial physician in the past few days has made her spirit much better." Li Shimin sighed to Li Mingda.

"That's right, the body is still growing. But taking pills is of no benefit. Recently, the Department of Mirrors took over a case where people died after taking pills." Li Mingda said while watching Li Shimin's face. For Datang, that was the state religion.

"Where can a Taoist priest be so deceitful?" Li Shimin asked.

"The biggest Taoist temple outside Chang'an City, Sizi was checked by someone. All Taoist priests used these houses to make alchemy, but this one died after adding too much material." Li Mingda explained.

Li Shimin closed his eyes and let out a "hmm".

"My daughter thinks that the medicine is three-point poisonous. If you are not sick, you don't need to take it. Just eat these health-preserving meals. Besides, this Taoist priest practiced and said to prolong life. Why didn't he see how long he lived?" Li Mingda said. Doubt said.

Li Shimin opened his eyes to look at Li Mingda, "They are all incompetent, and you haven't seen the powerful ones. But you should remind those nobles not to take the medicine of those foolish priests."

"I have asked Fang Shizi to do a secret investigation. There are many Taoist temples refining poison pills. The list should be sorted out soon, and I will submit it to Aye for decision."

As soon as Li Mingda finished speaking, someone from that room came to see him.

Li Shimin glanced at Li Mingda, sighed slowly, "I don't want to see you."

Li Mingda immediately asked suspiciously, "Aye, why didn't you see me?"

"What do you think?" Li Shimin gave Li Mingda a hard look, but still ordered loudly, "Let him in."

Li Mingda looked at Li Shimin in confusion, then turned to look at Fang Yizhi who had already entered the hall to salute.

After Li Shimin read the list, he threw the memorial on the table, "You just deal with it as you see, but do you have anything to report?"

"Return to Your Majesty, yes." Fang Yizhi took out another memorial from his sleeve and presented it with both hands.

Fang Qirui immediately took it and sent it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin unfolded the memorial and looked at it. His eyes were half-opened, but he glanced casually, probably because he was shocked by the content, and then opened his eyes very wide.

There was a long silence.

Li Mingda kept listening to the heartbeats of himself and Fang Yizhi, and finally felt that Fang Yizhi was more stable than himself in this matter.

With a snap, Li Shimin placed the memorial on the table heavily, startling everyone in the hall.Only Fang Yizhi remained motionless and knelt there, as if he had expected Li Shimin's reaction long ago.

"Fang, Yi, Zhi," Li Shimin called out Fang Yizhi's name slowly and heavily, and glared at him angrily, "Are you kidding me!"

"Return to Your Majesty, I have not." Fang Yi said straightly.

Li Mingda was curious about what was written in the memorial at the moment. She thought that Fang Yizhi would directly express his feelings to Li Shimin with his mouth, but she did not expect him to use the memorial.

"Excellent demeanor, capable of both civil and martial arts, and excellent strategy..." Li Shimin held his forehead, and then shook his head, "I have lived for most of my life, and this is the first time I have seen a courtier sing a song and ask him to praise himself. Princess, you can do everything you can."

"Princess Jinyang is gorgeous and unparalleled in the world. If I don't praise myself better, I'm afraid I won't be worthy of the princess." Fang Yizhi replied respectfully.

"You also know that you are not good enough for our princess, and you dare to write such an essay!" Li Shimin said in a very harsh tone, as if he wanted to kill Fang Yizhi.

Li Mingda whispered: "Aye?"

Li Shimin frowned and glanced at her sideways, "This is the person you like, right? Well, you two have hooked up a long time ago and kept it from me."

"My daughter knows my mistake." Li Mingda immediately knelt down and apologized to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was stunned, and looked at Li Mingda in surprise, "Are you admitting that you hooked up with him behind my back?"

Li Mingda nodded, "Did they hook up, or did my daughter take the initiative?"

"You—" Li Shimin took a deep breath and patted his chest to prevent himself from being pissed off by his daughter's words, "How decent is Cheng, you have been well-behaved since childhood, how could you say such shameless words."

"Hooking up is what Aye said first. It is a fact that my daughter took the initiative. After all, Fang Shizi is indeed as he said in his memorial, with a very handsome appearance, both civil and military."

"Okay, okay, no wonder you played chess with me and resolutely rejected the Cui family's marriage. It turned out to be all on him. But have you ever thought that Fang Yizhi is a person who is afraid of trouble, and he said earlier that he didn't want to marry the princess This big talk is known all over the world, and now he is from a slap in the face, why should I accompany him!" Li Shimin immediately glared at Fang Yizhi, "You should remember your own words, right?"

"I remember, it was the minister's refusal of the sage's accusation of marrying Princess Gaoyang. Princess Gaoyang is too troublesome, but Princess Jinyang is a blessing from a hundred generations of cultivation." Fang Yi said straight.

"Presumptuous, do you think our royal princess is a maid in your Duke's mansion, so you can pick whoever you want?"

"I don't dare, that's why I will bear it until today, and beg the sage for permission."

"What if I don't agree?"

"Since I have the courage to come today, I am ready to die."

"Aye?" Li Mingda raised his head and looked at Li Shimin with pleading eyes.

Li Shimin looked back at Li Mingda and said with emotion: "I said why you have been so filial recently, so it was because of today's show."

"My daughter will also be filial in the future." Li Mingda said.

"If I grant him death today, are you still filial?" Li Shimin asked.

Li Mingda nodded in tears, "Aye's kindness in nurturing cannot be missed."

Li Shimin raised his head, "Very well, I can safely send Fang Yi away."

"But my daughter's affection for him can't be betrayed, and she wishes to never marry for the rest of her life."

Li Shimin: "You—"

Fang Yi hurriedly asked Li Mingda not to do this, "If Yi Zhi dies, princess, please forget that, don't make or keep such a vow not to marry to the death. Life is very long, today is Yi Zhi's offence, please princess Please forget about it after a while. After this, there will always be someone who can please both the princess and the saint."

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, glanced at Fang Yizhi, and snorted.Immediately, he started talking to Li Mingda who was in front of him, and looked at her reproachfully.

"It's really worth raising you, look at him." Li Shimin immediately raised his hand, signaling Fang Yizhi to get up.

Fang Yi spoke warmly and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Mingda was stunned, looking puzzled at Li Shimin who suddenly changed his attitude.

The corner of Li Shimin's mouth raised a satisfied smile. No matter how you look at it now, Fang Yizhi is perfect, "If you want to marry my Princess Jinyang, how can you do it without passing the test. You two have passed this test."

Fang Yi blinked his eyes, his expression didn't fluctuate obviously, he just bowed and thanked him.

Li Mingda was even more puzzled, "I don't understand, so it refers to marrying Wei Wanshu, and Aye is also a test?"
