Wan'er heard it right, Princess Qianjin is five years younger than Empress Wu in terms of age, and she is a generation older than Empress Wu, in Wan'er's opinion, no matter how you calculate it, Princess Qianjin has no reason to worship Empress Wu as her stepmother.
But in the eyes of the princess, there is another algorithm: from the point of power Today, the princess specially brought this old mountain ginseng into the palace, just to recognize her godmother.
Princess Qianjin received the benefits of Wu Chenghei before, and came forward to say the family matter for him, but although the marriage between Wu and Li became a fact, Wu Chengsi did not become a concubine, and this generous gift not only had to be returned, but also offended Wu Chenghe.
If that's all it is, Wu Chengsi just thinks she's incompetent, but he doesn't hate her because of it.
But Princess Taiping was offended by her ruthlessly, in the past two days, Princess Qianjin found that the housekeeper of the Taiping Mansion had frequent contact with the steward of her house, and the princess who had a ghost in her heart suddenly became suspicious, and called the housekeeper to ask both soft and hard, and learned that Princess Taiping was inquiring about the news of her house, and couldn't help but panic.
Wu Youji married a beautiful princess, but his eyebrows-raising wife died because of this, and his two biological sons had to be removed from the family tree and left their hometown, and Wu Youji would never accept her affection.
Although Princess Taiping married into the martial family, but such a woman, how could Wu Youji be able to subdue her, if she wanted to make trouble for herself, who could stop her then Princess Qianjin was flustered, and there was another accident in the mansion of Princess Dongyang, the ninth daughter of Taizong Li Shimin, which made her even more afraid.
Two days ago, I don't know if there was any gossip about Princess Dongyang spread to the palace, Wu Zetian was very displeased, and immediately ordered Princess Dongyang's fiefdom to be drastically reduced, and her two sons were exiled to Wuzhou for a random crime.
A few days ago, it was just the princes of the Li family who were unlucky, and now even the princesses are beginning to be unlucky, and the women of the clan are panicking, among these princesses, the princess is the hardest working after the martial arts, if it is an ordinary time, she may not be too afraid, but now she has offended Wu Chenghei and Princess Taiping, but she does not dare to guarantee that she will be safe and sound.
In a hurry, the princess finally came up with a solution that was not a solution: recognize her godmother Listening to the words of the princess, Wu Zetian was also stunned, looking at the princess who was kneeling in front of him, sobbing and sobbing, Wu Zetian had a shocked expression on her face, it seemed that she also felt that this matter was too ridiculous, Wu Zetian thought about it and hesitated: "This, daughter, you and I are about the same age" When the princess heard this, she immediately "collected the rain and stopped", and said with a smile: "It turns out that the queen of heaven is worried about this, thinking that the thirteen righteous sons of the backer king Yang Lin back then, the eldest righteous son is not too young for him, as long as the queen of heaven does not dislike the daughter, what is the age."
Mother is on top, and my daughter is kowtowing to you here."
The princess said that, Wu Zetian was not allowed to stop it again, and she lay there "bang, bang" and knocked her head on the ground three times.
"This, hahahaha, good, well, since that's the case, then I'll recognize you as a daughter" Wu Zetian just thought about it slightly, and thought of the benefits of this princess Li Tang worshipping under his knees, she was the daughter of Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty As soon as the thought turned, Wu Zetian immediately asked someone to help her up with a smile on his face, and said with a pleasant face: "Well, since you worship me as your mother, the title of this daughter has to be changed."
Hehe, for the princesses under my mother's knees, with you being the oldest, my mother will title you as the eldest princess, well, add the title Yan'an, Yan'an eldest princess" "Children thank their mothers" Princess Qianjin bowed down happily, and Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but feel a feeling of nausea when she saw her expression of deliberately coquettishly pretending to be a child.
Gong E, the eunuch waiting next to her, didn't dare to show any expression, but her eyes were also a little strange, and Princess Qianjin seemed to be completely unaware, and then she got up again, and happily snuggled up to Wu Zetian's side to "Chenghuan's knees".
Wu Zetian said with a smile: "There is something for my mother, I want you to do it, and now that you have become my daughter, you are even more responsible for this matter." ” Princess Qianjin hurriedly said: "Mother has orders, and the child should go all out." ” Wu Zetian said: "Let Qin Tianjian see it for my mother, the ninth day of the first month of next month is a good day to get married and welcome relatives, and the marriage between Taiping and Youji should also be handled."
You were originally their big matchmaker, but now you are the eldest sister of Taiping, and you are busy with your mother's state affairs, so you have to worry about your mother more about this marriage. ” The princess hurriedly responded: "Although the mother can rest assured, this marriage, the daughter will definitely make it lively and beautiful."
"On the ninth day of the first month of next month, Brother Qiao and Sister Ning will get married, good, great" Yang Fan pulled across the bridge, slapped him on the shoulder, and laughed: "Okay, you Sister Ning is such a good woman, after all, she has become your lady."
Ma Qiao, who has always been very arrogant, turned a rare red cheek.
Yang Fan said happily: "Brother Qiao, let me tell you first, although I am your brother, once Sister Ning marries, I can be regarded as my mother's family, if you dare to treat Sister Ning badly, I will never spare you."
Ma Qiao scratched the back of his head and said, "Look at what you said, she is so fierce, how dare I bully her, it's not bad not to be bullied by her." ” Ma Qiaoniang said: "Nonsense that Xiao Ning's daughter is virtuous and sensible, how can she be fierce Xiao Fan, don't worry, there is a lady watching, if Qiao'er dares to bully Xiao Ning, the first lady will not spare him" Yang Fan heard the happy event of Ma Qiao and the noodles, and was very happy, this morning in the Ma family to find some words to make fun of Ma Qiao, Ma Qiao was a little embarrassed at first, but later his face was thick, grinning just with a smirk, Yang Fan lost his interest in teasing him.
Yang Fan turned to ask about Ma Qiao's situation in the army, Ma Qiao is a person from the White Horse Temple, and the generals already look down on him, plus he is willing to endure hardships in training, and his one-handed sword skills are also outstanding among the sergeants, so he has been appreciated by Fei Hewei, the general of Longwu Weilang, and now he has been transferred to his side as a personal soldier.
These days, Ma Qiao has practiced riding and archery hard, and the art of riding and archery has also made great progress, which is quite popular with Fei Lang, and the reason why he can come back a few days in advance to prepare for the appointment and appointment is that Fei Lang will open the door for him to be convenient.
I heard that Ma Qiao was very successful in the army, and Yang Fan was also happy for him.
Yang Fan and Xie Xiaoman had lunch at Ma's house, but declined Ma's mother's retention, and the two went to Jiang's house again.
Jiang Xuning was originally a lively and cheerful person, but when he saw that he was about to be a bride, he unconsciously became much more docile and submissive, and he spoke softly to Yang Fan, which made Yang Fan amazed.
He doesn't know if a man or a woman has never had a person of the opposite sex, whether he will never grow up, but he has seen the magic of marriage with his own eyes, Ma Qiao and Jiang Xuning are the people he is most familiar with, so he feels the changes in the two of them the most.
Xie Xiaoman has always been by her side, since she left her brother when she was a child, she practiced martial arts under the strict supervision of her stepmother, maybe only Shangguan Lanzhi and her sisterhood, and later Aunt Pei moved her family to Chang'an, she entered the palace, although she got along with Gao Ying, Lan Yiqing and others, but it was a good friendship, after all, it could not make up for the regret of the lack of family affection, Xiaoman silently looked at them as close as a family, and her heart was full of envy.
By the time they left the workshop, there was already a twilight on the horizon.
When they walked on the Tianjin Bridge, the sun had already grazed the side of the mountain, watching the golden river rolling east in the twilight, Xie Xiaoman glanced deeply in the direction of Yanfufang in the distance, and said to Yang Fan: "That little guy is hiding in your house, it's okay for the time being, but in the future, what will he do?"
Yang Fan said: "Let's take one step at a time, although I saved him, I don't have the right to decide how he should live in the future."
I'll go again in two days, and ask Duoduo if there are any relatives in the Black Tooth Tsuneno or the lady. ” He also turned to look at the leisurely river, and said with emotion: "Orphans are not happy, even if someone adopts them, and they are with blood relatives, it is still two different things." ” Xie Xiaoman listened and nodded vigorously, she was the most perceptive to Yang Fan's words.
Yang Fan smiled back at her and said, "You, you like to worry about people, but now you don't worry about me, and you worry about that little guy again."
Don't worry, since I promised that lady, I will definitely do it well."
The two of them said, all the way to the Xuanwu Gate, and when they entered the city gate cave and did not completely walk out, a figure suddenly turned out under the sunset, because the person stood with the sun on his back and looked at them, so the two of them could not see the appearance of the person clearly, only saw the outline of a military uniform, and the shining copper swallow mouth of the saber on his waist was reflected by the setting sun.
Yang Fan and Xie Xiaoman subconsciously divided left and right, and the man laughed and said, "Erlang, why did you come back at such an hour, I have been waiting for you for a long time." ” Yang Fan and Xie Xiaoman hid the person Wu Youyi was looking for, and suddenly saw a general flash under the city gate, it was inevitable that they were a little vigilant, fortunately, this person spoke at the right time, Yang Fan and the two of them were very quick people, as soon as they heard the voice, the hand that originally touched the handle of the knife naturally drooped.
Yang Fan greeted him and said, "The foot is, ah, Second Brother Di" Standing under the door was Feng Chen's guard general Di Guangyuan, Yang Fan's reaction was not big, and it did not arouse Di Guangyuan's vigilance, Di Guangyuan said with a smile: "My father is going to have a family banquet in two days, and I specially ordered me to invite your little friend to participate." ” Yang Fan hurriedly said: "This kind of thing, second brother, you can send someone to say no, why do you actually work second brother to wait here." ” Di Guangyuan said with a smile: "Ordered by my father, how dare I not run errands as a son, so I had to come obediently to invite someone." ” Yang Fan thanked him: "The second brother is too polite, but I don't know when the time is set."
Di Guangyuan said: "Just three days later, the sun is at the right time. ” Yang Fan said: "Okay, three days later, Yang Fan will definitely go to the banquet on time" In a wall-facing house in the back house of Di Renjie's house, Di Guangzhao, the third son of the Di family, was wearing a moon-white coat, pushed open the back window, and looked out with his probe, and a human head suddenly appeared on the wall, looked around a few times, quickly climbed up the wall, walked the ladder in, climbed down the ladder, and ran under the wall with the ladder.
Di Guangzhao couldn't wait to ask, "How is it, can you ask clearly?"
The man was a small servant who was waiting for Di Guangzhao, he put down the ladder, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "San Langjun, the little one has already inquired clearly, and the time is set in three days."
"Good" Di Guangzhao intersected his fists, struck a "snap", and said viciously: "Three days later, I will go on time, I want my father to see who is the most outstanding among his three sons."
