Chapter 153 King Qiong
Chang'an Daming Palace, Fengliang Hall.
Yunluo, the maid of honor, took off her arms for Princess Dongping who walked into the hall, helped her sit down on the couch, and hurriedly ordered left and right: " Put down all the curtains and add another ice basin." He asked the little maid standing next to him, "Where's the ice cheese? Hurry up and bring it up!"
Feel the shade in the hall and force the heat outside. Princess Dongping exhaled, but she just took Yanluo and Xiuluo to the Hanbing Hall. In terms of the fact that the birthday of Princess Jiacheng is closer, let alone the Qingsi Hall, which is still cold and unpopular in the summer days, not to mention her half-sister. , Qiongwang, the brother of Princess Jiacheng, was allowed to go to the palace last time to try to persuade Jiacheng to stay for too long.
Princess Dongping is bored and often goes to the ice hall next to her. Princess Changyang is now happy. While carefully nourishing her skin, she is in a good mood. Even if it is autumn, it can't stop her joy. Thinking about it again, Yuan Xiu also learned to ride and shoot with great interest. The two younger sisters, Liyang, live a little farther away in Yunzhou, and she seems to often go out of the palace these days. Dongping, who has always been happy and unmovable, can't help but be a little sad.
After taking the cheese drink with just the right ice, Dongping took a few mouthfuls of it, put down the glazed bowl and asked left and right, "Yuan Xiu and Yunzhou are all out today?"
"Yes, Princess Yuanxiu took people to the original place, and Princess Yunzhou said that she wanted to go to the square to see if there was anything new." Yunluo smiled and said, "If the A family thinks it's boring in the palace, why don't you go out for a walk?"
She knew that Dongping was not in a good mood during this period. After all, it has been a while since she chose her son-in-law in the palace. As the oldest of the three princesses to be married, Princess Dongping has been slow to decide on a candidate. There have been some rumors inside and outside the palace. Yesterday, the queen specially invited Dongping to go there. She said politely. It is to ask Dongping if she needs to call some newcomers to the palace to see each other, but some of them are already too picky.
It is two different from living in the hands of her father and living in the hands of her brother and sister-in-law. Princess Dongping is not understand this truth, but she is wronged. There are not no outstanding talents on the roster given to her by Fengchun and Wang, but the most outstanding - such as Wei Wei, the son of Wei, who moved Chang'an in the name of talent. Duan, even if the people around him don't remind him, Dongping will not be stupid enough to cross Yuanxiu to choose him.
Before Wei Hua entered the palace, Weiduan was summoned to the palace by Wang to let her see. He was a talent and the eldest son of Wei Zuo, who was quite famous in Chang'an. Fengchun's dependence on Wei Zuo was not much worse than that of Emperor Xianzong's dependence on Du Qingtang. This person said that he was not one of Fengchun's son-in-law prepared for Yuan Xiu. Who would Believe it? Unless Yuanxiu really drops to that He Yijian!
Thinking of this, Dongping's heart moved and waved back the little maid, leaving only a few confidants in Luo's name. He asked in a low voice, "Have you ever met He Yijian when Jiumei has been to the original?"
"Back home, Princess Yuanxiu hasn't been to the original for a few days after the Dragon Boat Festival. I'm afraid she won't ask until she comes back today." Yunluo was the first to react.
Dongping pondered for a moment: "Is Chang'an still talking about Jiumei now?"
"This seems to be more concerned about Ren Qiu's case..."
"Ren Qiu's case..." Dongping sighed, "The third brother seems to arrive tomorrow, right?"
...............................................................................................
The king of Qi and his party will not arrive until tomorrow, but the Qiong couple who arrived first are sighing in the palace of the king Qiong in Chang'an.
"Your Majesty, this matter was all caused by the third brother who fell outside. Since we ascended the throne, we have been far away from the south. Now we have come back for the sake of the sixth sister, but why is it involved again? Why does the king have to worry about this?" Tao Jingnian couldn't help comforting him when he saw that King Qiong was sad.
Li Yan, the king of Qiong, is only one year younger than Fengchun. Now he is twenty-three years old. He looks very much like Emperor Xianzong. Because he and Luo Meiren, the biological mother of Princess Jiacheng, are very suitable in appearance and position, he may be more handsome than Emperor Xianzong when he was young and looks heroic when he frowned. In contrast, although Fengchun is long It is not bad, but because of the early death of the Empress Dowager Wenhua, there is always a little gloomy in her temperament, but Li Yan looks masculine and cheerful. No wonder Emperor Xianzong has been hesitant for several years.
After all, for the emperor who wants to revitalize Meng Tang, Fengchun's gloomy successor is not as good as Li Yan. Besides, the former also has a grudge against Du Qingtang.
Tao Jingnian is not dissatisfied with this husband. The only regret is that Emperor Xianzong did not abandon Fengchun after all, making Princess Qiong, who once enjoyed the treatment of the stars of Chang'an, look up at the Penglai Hall now.
"The time when this happened was too coincidental with the people involved." Li Yan's temper has always been very good. At this moment, although he is full of worries, he still patiently explains to his wife, "Although the third brother's private son is not surnamed Li because of his third sister-in-law, he is raised in another courtyard with his mother. In fact, there are many people who know in the clan. It was half a year ago that he was fascinated by the prostitute in the divine pavilion. Fortunately, nothing happened to me and the third brother when they returned to Chang'an because of their sisters. How can I not think much about it?
When he said this, Tao Jingnian thought about it carefully and couldn't help changing his color: "Is he..."
"Shh!" Although there was no one in the room, Li Yan still frowned and motioned her to silence and wincled, "Now be kind, don't talk nonsense!"
Tao Jingnian raised his sleeves to cover his mouth, but quickly wrote three words on the table with tea in his hand. He looked at Li Yan. Li Yan paced back and forth, meditated for a moment, but shook his head: "This is too eye-catching."
"I have been away from Chang'an for several years. Although I have come back for my sixth sister, it is impossible for me to go to Qingsi Hall every day. How can a daughter not go home to visit her parents?" Tao Jingnian advised, "If you don't want to avoid suspicion, you won't like it now."
The name she wrote is naturally Du Qingtang.
Li Yan remembered this man's reign and almost agreed, but he quickly calmed down: "Even so, what excuse do you use to go to Jing'anfang? Now there are only the Duke and Du Furi in the fifth room of the Du family. The wife of the Duke died early. The two girls in the fifth room have left the cabinet and married Dongdu, and Du Furi has not yet married..."
Tao Jingnian is only the niece of the Du family. It's true that Meng Tang's atmosphere is open. It's okay for her to go to the fifth room to visit Du Qingtang Yuan, but Fengchun must be suspicious - and she proposed to ask Du Qingtang for help originally to get Feng Chun's doubts from Du Qingtang. Law.
"I can ask my mother to ask about something privately." Tao Jingnian thought about it and suggested again.
Li Yan was about to answer, but there was a soft knock outside the door. He was a little unhappy and said, "What's the matter?"
But he heard a crisp voice reply: "Your Majesty, the girl suddenly cried. I tried to burn her forehead and begged the king to go and have a look!"
"Qing Niang?" Li Yan and Tao Jingnian looked at each other and were shocked.
The girl mentioned by the maid outside is the only daughter under Li Yan's knee now. Although she was born by a concubine, she is the first child. In addition, she is only a girl, which can't affect the status of Tao Jingnian's children. Therefore, Tao Jingnian is also happy to be virtuous. She is allowed to be raised by her concubine, and she also behaved very well. Love, now he naturally looks more surprised and panicked in front of Li Yan.
Tao Jingnian followed Li Yan and walked to the yard where Qingniang and her concubine lived before entering the yard. Seeing that it was in a mess, he said sharply, "What's the panic! Where is the doctor?!"
