On the rest of the journey, there was still talking and laughing in the carriage, only Li Xuanba remained silent.
However, Li Xuanba was weak and didn't like to talk, so Yang Zhao didn't take it seriously when he closed his eyes and took a nap.
Only Li Shimin was a little worried.
He knew that his brother was "silent" just because he didn't like to speak, but in his heart his brother was a chatterbox.
Now even my heart has calmed down, nothing will happen, right?
But the prince was in the car, so Li Shimin couldn't ask.
He sighed and complained that his brother was in poor health. He felt tired after walking around the street for a while, and might have to take bitter medicine when he returned.
"Although Ah Xuan behaves precociously outside, he gets angry when he drinks the bitter medicine at home." Li Shimin sighed, "It's okay for him to get angry, but he also says he has no appetite and refuses to eat. How can he be healthy if he doesn't eat well?"
Li Sanniang was slightly startled, then sighed naturally: "Yes."
Li Shimin took the hand of Li Xuanba, who was resting with his eyes closed, and helped Li Xuanba roll up his sleeves, revealing a small part of his thin wrist.
He rolled up his sleeves and said, "Look, they are twins. Even his arms are smaller than mine."
Li Xuanba opened his eyes and put down his sleeves: "Shut up, I'm sleepy."
After saying that, he continued to close his eyes and sleep.
Li Shimin touched his nose and said to Yang Zhao aggrievedly: "Cousin, look at this younger brother, he doesn't respect me as his elder brother at all."
Yang Zhao smiled and said, "Brothers are like this. Xuan is not feeling well, have you sought medical attention?"
Li Shimin sighed, "With my grandmother here, how could the Duke of Tang's mansion not invite an imperial physician? Not to mention the imperial physician, my mother also went to Mount Taibai to invite the hermit Dr. Sun. But both the imperial physician and Dr. Sun said, just take care of him, he is just born weak."
As Li Shimin was speaking, his nose felt sore and what he was pretending became real.
He rubbed his eyes and muttered, "I don't think Doctor Sun is a miracle doctor. He actually said that my brother would hardly live to be 20. Your Highness, if you meet a better doctor, please tell me."
Yang Zhao's heart sank. He looked at Li Xuanba in disbelief as he opened his eyes reluctantly, then turned his gaze to Li Sanniang.
Li Sanniang smiled bitterly, "Erlang, why are you talking about this now? Didn't Doctor Sun say that Sanlang is much better now? He can recover. Alas, how come you can still remember things that happened when you were three years old? You actually bit Doctor Sun at that time. Doctor Sun came to our house now and pointed to the mark on his arm."
Li Shimin pouted: "Humph!"
"Second brother, if the doctor tells the truth, the patient will make a fuss and the doctor will not dare to treat the patient." Li Xuanba said unhappily.
Li Shimin pouted his lips and said, "I don't believe in fate!"
"If you don't believe it, then don't believe it." Li Xuanba slapped his handkerchief on Li Shimin's face. "Doctors are warriors who fight against fate to save lives. They are comrades-in-arms of patients and their families who hope that patients will recover. You must not let your comrades-in-arms down."
"I haven't bitten him yet." Li Shimin wiped his eyes with a handkerchief. "Didn't you say you were sleepy? Are you not sleepy anymore?"
Li Xuan said: "I'm sleepy. So don't make a noise."
Yang Zhao sighed and said, "I heard that there is a magical wizard in the Western Regions who can cure all diseases. If I meet him, I will definitely ask him to take a look at you, Li Sanlang."
Li Xuanba: [Don't worry, your life was taken away by your father who called a wizard to cure your illness.]
Li Xuanba: "I would like to thank my cousin first."
Li Shimin blinked frantically.
Ah, brother, what nonsense are you talking about again! You might as well be quiet!
Yang Zhao smiled and said, "Sleep a little longer, cousin is still waiting to see how you win the bet."
Li Xuanba raised the corners of his mouth, smiled like a child, and then continued to take a nap with his eyes closed.
After getting off the carriage, Li Xuanba regained his spirits.
Prince Yang Zhao deserves the praise from everyone. He does things very well, and Li Xuanba can't find any improvement. He only needs to make the tools and train for a period of time, and Li Xuanba's soap workshop can start working directly.
As a prince, he personally ran such a small matter for his two cousins. No wonder people in the court said that he was kind and had the "demeanor of an elder."
If Li Xuanba was an ancient person, he would probably have a good impression of Yang Zhao.
Now… Li Xuanba smiled sweetly at Yang Zhao and said, "Thank you, cousin!"
Yang Zhao smiled innocently and said, "This is the reward you received from your father. Why are you thanking me?"
Li Xuanba said naively: "If my cousin hadn't spoken in my favor, I wouldn't have been able to get such good land."
Yang Zhao glanced at the nearby land where nothing grew except weeds and bean sprouts.
Good place?
Li Shimin looked at his brother's innocent and lovely smile and couldn't help rubbing his arms.
Here it comes, here it comes again. My younger brother finally became normal after leaving the emperor, why is he imitating me again! "Stupid brother" younger brother, back off, back off, back off!
Li Sanniang glanced at the people hiding in the distance with numb expressions and ragged clothes, and said, "Are these people the tenants of this land?"
Yang Zhao said: "In addition to the tenant farmers, there are also some slaves. I bought them all as a gift from my cousin to my younger cousin."
When the emperor said he was granting land, he meant a piece of vacant land that originally belonged to the royal family.
Yang Zhao not only obtained the owned land for Li Xuanba, but also bought the tenants and slaves together.
Li Xuanba felt a little relieved.
Compared to going to the unpredictable Yang Guang to get the drops, it is more cost-effective to make money from Yang Zhao.
Li Xuanba gave Yang Zhao advice and asked him to return to Daxing early. It was not because he had a good impression of Yang Zhao, but because Yang Zhao wanted to keep the two teachers who were very good to him.
In addition, Emperor Yang Guang did not like staying in Daxing. Except for the year when he first ascended the throne and had not changed the reign title, he stayed in Daxing honestly. During the fourteen years of Daye, he stayed in Daxing for no more than one year in total, and the time he spent passing through Taiyuan was longer than the time he spent in Daxing.
When Yang Guang was running around, Crown Prince Yang Zhao was in charge of Daxing first, and later Yang Zhao's youngest son, Yang You, whom Yang Zhao had previously asked to be his study companion, was in charge of Daxing.
With the connection with Yang Zhao, his business in Daxing became more successful.
But being involved in the fight between the emperor's grandsons? Cross your arms!
Li Xuanba ended his "inspection", said goodbye to Yang Zhao, and returned home.
He would first tell his mother what to do next and ask her to send someone she trusted to do it.
Li Sanniang also returned home with her two younger brothers.
Chai Shao looked at Yang Zhao with resentment: "Your Highness, you shouldn't have come today. Since you came, Sanniang and I haven't been able to talk."
Yang Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You are going to marry Sanniang soon, why do you still care about this little time?"
Chai Shao sighed: "You don't understand."
Yang Zhao was speechless. I am older than you, there are things you understand that I don't.
Chai Shao sighed and said, "Your Highness, do you really want Li Sanlang to be your study partner? Li Sanlang's body..."
Yang Zhao shook his head: "It's not me, it's the Crown Princess. Father favors Neng Er, and the Crown Princess is too worried."
Chai Shao said: "The eldest grandson's mother died young, and he has been raised by the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess is really worrying too much."
Yang Zhao smiled bitterly: "No, that's why she is more worried. Given the emperor's personality, he will probably adopt Neng'er to her and make him the legitimate eldest son."
Chai Shao wanted to say that the prince already had a legitimate son, so it shouldn't be the case. But thinking about the emperor's behavior last year, Chai Shao was no longer sure.
He sighed and said, "Duke Tang's Mansion is definitely not willing to wade into this muddy water. Your Highness, His Majesty is in the prime of his youth."
"I know." Yang Zhao and Chai Shao were very familiar with each other, so he spoke very directly.
He was raised by his grandfather since he was young, was able to thrive in the palace, and helped his father win the throne. How could he not understand?
Yang Zhao said, "My second brother and I dare not even reveal the slightest thought, and yet the emperor's grandson has already started to fight for the throne. Father will definitely be angry with me, thinking that I am eyeing his position."
Yang Zhao pinched the bridge of his nose. "So I have to suppress this matter and prevent the Crown Princess from doing anything wrong. Jingzhao Wei... Alas, my father was right to move the capital to Luoyang."
Chai Shao thought, that's not necessarily true.
Since the status of the Guanzhong county surname was not as high as that of the Shandong county surname, they were very keen to marry into the royal family, hoping to surpass the Shandong county surname by their merits in following the emperor, so they behaved a little impatiently.
But are the Shandong people pure and simple?
If the position of Luoyang Dongjing is stable, the Shandong people will definitely do something similar to the Guanzhong people, trying to get involved in the royal family struggle and fight for power and profit for the family.
Although Chai Shao and Yang Zhao were very familiar with each other, the difference between the emperor and his subject prevented him from speaking out everything in his heart.
He missed his fiancée more and more, even though they had been separated for less than a quarter of an hour.
I feel uncomfortable with the words stuck in my heart. If Sanniang were here, I would have told her. Chai Shao complained again.
Seeing that Chai Shao was talking about serious matters, Yang Zhao suddenly became inexplicably resentful and sighed, holding his forehead.
Before Chai Shao gets married, he'd better not discuss serious matters with Chai Shao.
After Li Xuanba returned home, he changed his clothes, climbed onto the bed and lay down to restore his health and energy.
Li Shimin crawled around Li Xuanba nervously.
Li Xuanba put his hands together on his abdomen: [Brother, what are you crazy about? Are you imitating a puppy?]
Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his brother finally "speak".
He lay beside Li Xuanba and followed Li Xuanba's example by clasping his hands together on his abdomen: "Sorry, Xuan, I promised the prince on your behalf in the carriage..."
Li Xuanba interrupted, "Although the prince said it in a joking tone, he said "the prince's order". If I still want to take advantage of his power, I should obey. I didn't think of it at the time. Brother, you are right to remind me."
Li Shimin muttered, "I originally thought my cousin was a good person, but I didn't expect him to make things so difficult for you. The legitimate son he mentioned was only born last year, so why would he need a companion to study with?"
Li Xuanba: [I only verbally decided on the title of companion, and I became a companion when Yang You was six years old. The Crown Princess was so anxious because the eldest grandson Yang Tan was already three years old and could recite the Thousand Character Classic. Yang Guang once told his ministers that he would bring Yang Tan with him and invite a famous teacher to teach him in advance.]
Li Shimin sighed, "Okay, I understand. Now we are both very much loved by His Majesty. She is worried that His Majesty will let you and me become Yang Tan's playmates?"
Li Xuanba: [Not only that. The current Crown Princess is a successor, born in Jingzhao Wei, a surname from Guanzhong County. The Crown Prince's original wife was from Bo Ling Cui, one of the "Five Surnames and Seven Famous Names" in Shandong. At that time, the Princess of Qin was also from Bo Ling Cui.]
Li Xuanba told Li Shimin from his heart an incident in the backyard that occurred during the struggle for the throne in the last years of Emperor Wen of Sui.
The queens of Yang Jian's five sons, the eldest, fourth and fifth, were all from the "Lu surname". The queen of the second son Yang Guang was from the "Qiao surname" Lanling Xiao clan. The queen of the third son Qin Wang Yang Jun was from the Boling Cui clan of the "Five Surnames and Seven Aristocrats" in Guandong.
The strength of each family in the court can be seen from the background of the princess. At that time, the power of the Guanzhong County family in the court was not as strong as the "Qiao surname" family that Yang Jian needed to win over after pacifying the south.
But no one expected that the Princess of Qin would actually poison Yang Jun because of his many concubines. When the matter was exposed, the Princess of Qin was sentenced to death. The father of the Crown Princess was the cousin of the Princess of Qin and was dismissed from office.
The Princess of Qin committed the crime of "treason" which was one of the "ten unforgivable crimes" stipulated by Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty, and the "virtue of women" of her family was implicated. The Crown Princess was the niece of the Princess of Qin, so naturally Yang Zhao also asked for a divorce.
Jingzhao Wei family then seized the opportunity to ascend to the throne.
Li Xuanba: [Yang Guang built the new city of Luoyang as Dongjing, and the Shandong clans regained their momentum. Not to mention that the Jingzhao Wei clan was very nervous about Yang You, the entire Guanzhong clan clan must be on Yang You's side. Therefore, Yang Zhao did not dare to easily deny the Crown Princess's request. ]
Li Shimin rolled over on the bed for a few times and sighed, "Can't I do whatever I want as a crown prince?"
Li Xuanba: [If he can't even be the emperor, how can he be the crown prince? ]
Li Shimin rolled over a few more times: "So annoying, so annoying, what kind of aristocratic family, so annoying, shoot through with an arrow! Shoot through with an arrow!"
Li Xuanba burst out laughing.
Li Shimin bulged his eyes and said unhappily: "Aren't you annoyed? I hate being schemed against!"
Li Xuanba had rested enough, and got up from the bed, smiling in his heart: [The Jingzhao Wei family is indeed famous for their bad eyesight. Does he think that we can be bullied just because we are young? Is the Tangguogong Mansion some insignificant little power? How dare they act wildly against us? ]
Li Shimin also sat up: "Ah Xuan is right! Even if we dare to offend the Zheng family of Xingyang, one of the 'Five Surnames and Seven Families', what is the Jingzhao Wei family! What should we do!"
Li Xuanba spread his hands: "Of course, sue the parents!"
Li Shimin, who was eager to try, was dumbfounded: "Ah?"
Li Xuanba looked innocent. We are only seven-year-old children. If we are bullied, why don't we tell our parents? Are we supposed to go alone?
Li Shimin followed Li Xuanba to tell his parents.
At this time, Li Yuan was personally serving old lady Dugu.
Old Lady Dugu was in good spirits and was chatting and laughing with Li Yuan and Lady Dou.
Li Shimin was depressed until he reached the door. As soon as he stepped through the threshold, he perked up and shouted at the top of his voice: "Grandmother! Yeah yeah! Queen! The Crown Princess bullied me and Xuan! Help us get revenge!"
Li Shimin's shout blocked the words that Li Xuanba had already prepared in his throat.
Looking at his grandmother, father and mother who were instantly filled with anger, Li Xuanba couldn't help but applaud his second brother in his heart.
Sure enough, when it comes to complaining, the fake kids are no match for the real kids.
Before Li Yuan could speak, Madam Dugu slapped the edge of the bed and said angrily, "Crown Princess? That woman from Jingzhao Wei? What did she do? Grandmother will decide for you!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Li Yuan frowned: "Isn't the Crown Prince very friendly to you? Why is the Crown Princess so rude?"
Mrs. Dou calmed down and said, "Listen to the children first."
Li Xuanba gave instructions in his heart, while Li Shimin acted as an embellishment and voice, telling the three elders what had happened today one by one.
Li Xuanba could say it himself, but he was too rational and his "childish words" were not as lethal as his brother's.
"Today, the prince's cousin came to see Ah Xuan and me, saying that the emperor had awarded us land and wanted to take us to see it. We were all very happy. But then the prince said that the princess wanted Ah Xuan to be her son's companion." Li Shimin sniffed, "Her son was just born, why would he need a companion? My Ah Xuan is weak, how can he be a companion?"
Old Lady Dugu, Li Yuan and Madam Dou seemed to be thinking about something.
Li Shimin took a few breaths and continued, "Later, the prince's cousin revealed that it was the emperor's eldest grandson who was favored, and the princess was favored by His Majesty because of Ye Ye, so she wanted the Tang Guogong Mansion to help her. The prince's cousin also said that this was the intention of Jingzhao Wei, so he couldn't refuse directly. Woo woo woo, he can't refuse his father-in-law's family, so he bullies us! Aren't we his relatives! Ye Ye is still his cousin!"
Li Shimin howled.
"Ah? What's wrong?" Li Sanniang came in just in time and hurried to wipe Li Shimin's tears.
Then she discovered that Li Shimin could not shed tears even though he was howling.
Li Sanniang was stunned for a moment, and then she wiped the corners of Li Shimin's eyes vigorously with a handkerchief, and then she held Li Shimin in her arms and said, "Don't cry, dear."
Li Shimin buried his head in his third sister's arms and continued to howl: "Woo woo woo."
Li Xuanba stood there blankly, somewhat unable to follow his second brother's performance.
"He can't refuse my father-in-law's family, so they bully us" and "Ye Ye is his cousin" were not taught by me, but were improvised by my second brother.
"Sanniang, you went out with Erlang and Sanlang today. I heard from Erlang and Sanlang that the Crown Princess wants Sanlang to be the study companion of the Emperor's grandson?" Madam Dou asked, "Is it really the Crown Princess's idea? What is the Crown Prince's reaction?"
Li Sanniang said, "That's why I came to look for my grandmother, father, and mother." She thought about what to say for a long time. Unexpectedly, her two younger brothers also came.
Li Sanniang sighed and said, "The prince and Sanlang made a bet. Didn't Sanlang find an ancient recipe in a book and said he wanted to make a better bath bean? The prince said that if Sanlang could make a bath bean that was better than the ones used by the imperial court, he would help push the matter forward."
"Nonsense!" Li Yuan cursed, "The chaos of the previous emperor's succession is just around the corner! The crown prince hasn't even taken the throne yet, and they want to start another chaos of succession?!"
Madam Dugu said coldly: "This Crown Princess is too ambitious. She hasn't even become the Queen yet, and she's already worrying about her son's throne?"
Madam Dou said calmly, "Because the Jingzhao Wei family married the prince, your majesty has granted them many favors. They are still not satisfied and do not think of repaying your majesty. Instead, they want to stir up a fight among the young grandchildren of the emperor. How despicable."
Li Xuanba waited for them to finish speaking before speaking: "Father, what I am most worried about is what His Majesty will think when he learns of this. Although His Majesty won the battle for the throne, all his brothers from the same mother died except for one who was demoted to a commoner. This is so tragic that His Majesty must be heartbroken. He certainly doesn't want this to happen again to his children and grandchildren."
Li Xuanba looked up at Li Yuan and said, "Father has just gained the trust of His Majesty. What if His Majesty misunderstands that my father is trying to please the emperor's grandson and is disloyal to His Majesty? Your Majesty is in Luoyang, and my father is in Daxing. However, many people from the Wei family are accompanying the emperor in Luoyang. Even if the crown prince refuses, they may ask His Majesty directly."
Old Madam Dugu pushed herself up with her hands and sat up from the bed in shock.
Li Yuan quickly supported his mother.
"How dare they!" Madam Dugu was furious. "I will kill anyone who blocks my son's career! My daughter-in-law! What is your intention in bringing my badge into the palace to question the Crown Princess? There is no need to give her face! As the Crown Princess, she may not even be able to sit on the throne of Queen!"
Madam Dou said, "Everyone, my daughter-in-law wants to go back to her parents' home."
Madam Dugu said, "Go ahead and talk to your family about this. By the way, tell the Zheng family and the Changsun family as well. Duke Tang's affairs are also their affairs."
Mrs. Dou replied, "Yes."
Madam Dugu said to Li Yuan, "I don't need your service here anymore. Take my letter and go find His Majesty."
Li Yuan said seriously, "I will tell your majesty that Sanlang is weak and I really can't bear to let him go to the palace as a companion. Even strict teachers like Gao Gong and Yu Wen Gong allowed Sanlang to take a nap at his desk occasionally when they were teaching him."
He took a deep breath and suppressed the anger from his face: "My Li family has indeed declined, but it is not to the point where we will be bullied."
Madam Dugu said, "Go contact the sons of your cousins Li An and Li Zhe first. Although they have passed away and their sons have not yet held high positions, they are both trusted and valued by the late emperor, and many ministers in the court have received their favors. Now that my Li family has finally shown signs of a resurgence, it's time for these two families to use their connections."
Li Yuan said: "Yes."
Li Shimin opened his eyes in amazement from his third sister's arms.
Li Xuanba: [Grandmother is very powerful. ]
Li Shimin shouted: [Yes! ]
Li Xuanba looked at his grandmother who was instructing his father and mother on every detail.
Although he had heard that his father lost his father at a young age and the situation in the court was turbulent, and that the huge Tangguo Mansion was shouldered by his grandmother alone, he had always known that his grandmother was a "wicked mother-in-law" who was often bedridden and always loved to torture his mother over trivial matters.
It was the first time he saw his grandmother's strong and sensitive side.
After Li Shimin and Li Xuanba filed the complaint, they were detained at home to accompany Li Sanniang who was about to get married.
Li Yuan said, "Don't go out these days. Sanniang, don't worry, your father will be back soon and will definitely be able to catch up with your wedding."
Li Sanniang said, "Father, be careful on the road."
Li Yuan nodded.
Li Xuanba grabbed the corner of Li Yuan's clothes.
Li Yuan asked curiously, "What do you want to say, Sanlang?" It was the first time that Sanlang showed his reluctance to leave him.
Li Xuanba said with a straight face: "Please ask father to tell His Majesty that there is no need to worry about me. I will definitely win the bet and will not embarrass His Majesty. This is just a joke between children."
Li Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, I will definitely tell your majesty about this."
He picked up Li Xuanba and rubbed his head. "You and Erlang are becoming more and more famous, and more and more people want to invite you out to play. When I come back from Luoyang, I will give you names in advance. Are you looking forward to it?"
Li Xuanba nodded: "Look forward to it."
Li Shimin jumped up and down and said, "Look forward to it!"
Li Sanniang smiled, with a hint of loneliness in her eyes.
Li Xuan said domineeringly: "Father, you have to think of a good name for my sister. You and mother only have this one daughter, and my sister's name cannot be given to Chai Shao."
Li Shimin said immediately, "Yes! The book says that a woman 'wait to be named' in the boudoir, and her husband or father will give her a name before she gets married. Yeah, yeah, we must not let Chai Shao take advantage of it! My sister's name was given by our family! My sister is still my sister even after she gets married! She is a member of our family! Humph! Chai Shao, don't try to bully my sister!"
Li Sanniang blinked and her hand involuntarily rose to her chest.
She smiled and said, "Chai Shaocai doesn't dare to bully me, Erlang, don't worry."
Li Yuan looked at Li Sanniang.
As Li Sanniang was his only legitimate daughter, her food, clothing, and housing were no different from those of his other daughters, but he had a harmonious relationship with Dou and naturally paid more attention to Li Sanniang.
"Okay, I'll give Sanniang a name when I get back." Li Yuan said with a smile, "I can't let that brat Chai Shao get away with it. Sanniang, just wait, I will definitely give you the best name possible!"
Li Sanniang nodded heavily: "Yes!"
Li Yuan rode away on horseback.
Before leaving, he told Li Jiancheng: "I know you are very close to the Guanzhong County family, and you have many good friends in the Wei family. You should stay indoors this time and ignore your friends first."
Li Jiancheng cupped his hands and said, "Son knows, father, don't worry."
The friends he made were all for the benefit of his career, and he knew what was more important.
Besides, it would not be bad for him to start a fight with the Wei family this time. After this matter is resolved, he will appease his friends in the Wei family and repair his relationship with the Wei family. The Wei family will definitely be closer to him.
Before that, he had to get over his anger.
When interacting with aristocratic families, he had to make sure that they understood that he was the one in the dominant position!
…
Yang Zhao was dumbfounded: "Ah? Madam Dou came to the palace and scolded you?"
Wei cried, "I let Sanlang enter the palace to accompany You'er. This is clearly a favor from the Duke of Tang's Mansion, but they actually look down on You'er! Am I still the Crown Princess? Is You'er still your legitimate son?"
Yang Zhao thought for a moment and patted his fat thigh: "It's over, it's bad! I only thought of Erlang and Sanlang, but I didn't expect Li Yuan and my aunt's attitude towards this matter! Especially my aunt... Alas, my aunt has experienced the ups and downs of the past, so she must be very sensitive to this matter. Once Erlang and Sanlang go back and tell my aunt about this, my aunt will understand your little thoughts!"
Wei's crying stopped for a moment, and then she cried even louder: "What do you mean by 'my little thoughts'? It is me and You'er who have been humiliated!"
Yang Zhao said seriously, "My aunt is my grandmother's only living relative of the same generation. As long as my aunt is still alive, I will listen carefully even if she scolds me, not just you. I was negligent. My aunt was bedridden and never left the house. I forgot that there was such an elder."
Wei couldn't cry anymore. She couldn't believe it and said, "She's just my aunt. How can she be more noble than you, the prince?"
Yang Zhao said coldly: "You don't understand."
My father fought for the throne, his brothers killed each other, and there were rumors of patricide. In order to stop the rumors, my father had to show his nostalgia and filial piety for his parents. The Tianjing Palace, which is dedicated to my grandfather, was built for this purpose.
As Madam Dugu of the Duke of Tang's Mansion is the only living relative of my grandmother's generation, my father has to agree to her request as long as it is not excessive.
Madam Dugu was also a very wise old lady. She never asked for anything for herself and Li Yuan, and never used any privileges of an "elder" in front of her father.
So when Old Madam Dugu started to use this privilege, and the person she used it on was not the emperor, my father would definitely support Old Madam Dugu.
"Crown Princess, let me make this clear to you. I originally disagreed with dragging my two younger cousins into the palace struggle, but I needed to give you some face, so I made this bet with Sanlang." Yang Zhao said calmly, "Since this matter has reached my aunt's ears, it is no longer up to us. If you still want to secure your position as Crown Princess, follow me to Tokyo to meet my father, the emperor, and my mother, the empress."
Wei hesitated and said, "Is it that serious? Among the Tang Guogong clan, only Li Yuan has a real job. The others are just officials, just impoverished people..."
"Crown Princess, be careful with your words." Yang Zhao frowned and interrupted, "I know that you, the Jingzhao Wei family, claim to be a prominent family in Guanzhong County and are too arrogant. But you actually said that the emperor's cousins, the Duke, are a poor family? Does the Jingzhao Wei family want to openly hostile to the Tang Guogong Mansion?"
"No, no, that's not what I meant!" Wei said quickly, "I meant that they are few in number. Even if they want to do something, how dare they really go against my Jingzhao Wei family?"
Yang Zhao sighed, feeling very troubled.
He continued to explain in a gentle voice: "This matter has been reported to the emperor, and he is suspicious. Your Jingzhao Wei family must be fine, just like the Boling Cui family is fine now. But are you and your father in trouble? How are my former crown princess and her father doing now?"
Wei's face turned pale instantly, and he kept muttering: "Is it so serious? How could it be so serious?..."
Yang Zhao said, "Change your clothes and don't pack your luggage. Let's set off today. We must arrive in Luoyang before the imperial edict from our father arrives."
He stood up and held the flesh around his waist.
Oh, I really don't want to go out.
