Chapter 260: Zheng Lingzhi (Part 1)
It was already dawn and the drizzle stopped.
The air after the rain is fresh and refreshing.
Today is March 21, the year of Si and Hai, which coincides with the day of rest, so all civil and military officials do not attend the morning court.
In fact, the Wu Zetian Dynasty's discussion in the past two years is no longer as diligent as in the early years. After all, she is a 75-year-old man. No matter how energetic she is, she can't stand the hard work all day long. Especially after experiencing the rebellion last year, Wu Zetian felt even more exhausted. After the spring, she was obviously a little lazy and recruited the Zhang brothers to accompany her all day long.
Fortunately, Di Renjie, Wei Yuanzhong, Zhang Jianzhi, Yao Chong and others were maintaining it in the court, and nothing big will happen.
And inside, the Xiaoluantai under Shangguan Wan'er became more and more complete, which also made Wu Zetian feel relieved.
After staying up all night, Wu Zetian returned to Lichuntai to rest after dawn.
Li Xian glanced away his sleepy appearance just now and came out of Shangyang Palace excitedly.
He was about to get into the car when he suddenly heard someone calling him behind him.
"Shiro, stay."
Li Xian was the seventh son of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Zhi, and the third son of Wu Zetian. Now, the Li clan relatives are almost killed by Wu Zetian, and many people are more accustomed to calling Li Xian the Sanlang. Only Princess Taiping would call him Qilang.
"Taiping, are you in trouble?"
Li Xian stopped in surprise and turned around to look at Princess Taiping who was running hurriedly.
Li Xian also loves this little sister very much. Even though Princess Taiping's attitude towards him was not very intimate, Li Xian never forgot that Taiping is his only sister, and he is the same father and mother. He has a strong bloodline of affection.
"Qiro. Where are you going?"
Princess Taiping did not call Li Xian as the prince, but called him Qilang.
But Li Xian didn't feel any disrespect, and even felt a very intimate feeling.
Qilang, how long has it been since Taiping called me like this? Even if he came back from Fangling and became the prince, Princess Taiping often called him "Crown Prince" rather than "Qilang". This title made Li Xian feel like home.
Seeing Li Xian's slightly excited appearance, Princess Taiping was speechless.
She sighed and asked again: "Qilang, are you going to Tongmamo?"
"Yes, I want to meet the little fairy boy from that year."
In Li Xian's mind, Yang Shouwen is not only his son-in-law, but also the kind little fairy child who is accompanied by the old god. So many years have passed, and when he remembered the past, he can no longer suppress his excitement. He wants to go and see the smile.
Princess Taiping smiled bitterly and said, "Qilang. If you go to see Yang Aizi now, he will definitely die."
"ah?"
Seeing Wu Sansi getting on the carriage in the distance, Li Dan had already left the palace gate, Princess Taiping lowered her voice: "My silly seventh brother, don't you realize that my mother actually doesn't agree with this marriage?"
"No way."
Li Xian looked dull.
"What my mother hopes most is to let Guer marry Erlang of the Wu family.
But the current situation cannot allow her to continue. After all, there is a Zheng family in Xingyang behind Yang Yizi. Even if her mother wants to be unfavorable to him, she needs to consider the price. What her mother wants to do most now is to let him stay in Tongmamo. After waiting for a long time, she will find a way to drive Yang Yizi out of Luoyang and let Guer marry Wu Erlang."
"this……"
"Qiro, do you still want to continue this engagement now?
You have to figure out that if you offend your mother because of this, you may lose the position of prince or even leave Luoyang."
Li Xian laughed when he heard this.
"If this is the case, at worst I can go back to Fangling.
When the old god saved my life, he had to leave his hometown. I cannot forget this affection! I could not repay this kind of kindness before, but now I have the chance, I can't give up. Do you understand?"
"Shiro, do you know?"
"What?"
"You are so masculine now.
It's just your personality..."
Princess Taiping said, paused for a moment, and suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Don't go to see Yang Yizi now. If you are really worried, you can let the prince or the princess go there, but you must not contact that child.
Otherwise… you might ruin his life.”
"But……"
"Mother, I will help you.
By the way, aren’t the Crown Princess and Wan’er very close? If she often walks around Wan’er, she might have unexpected joy.”
At this moment, Taiping decided to help Li Xian.
Nothing else, just for my seventh brother, I can still have such a strong character.
Li Xian had no doubts. After hearing Princess Taiping say it, he immediately agreed, "Since that's the case, I'll ask you Taiping... In addition, King Liang may not give up, so please take care of him in secret."
Princess Taiping smiled and said, "Qilang, it seems that you are very satisfied with this son-in-law."
Li Xian smiled and did not answer.
He glanced at Shangyang Palace again, then gritted his teeth and boarded the carriage, "Return to the East Palace!"
Guiyifang is located on the south side of Xuanrenmenwai Street.
From west to east, Guiyifang is the second market. To the west of it is Lidefang, which is inevitably a canal. This canal is an artificial river blooming from the Luoshui River on the south side of Chengfu Gate in the East City. After exiting the Luoshui River, it travels northeast, goes south to east, and then passes through the Wailang City, and then flows into the Luoshui River. Corresponding to it is the Yilan (Yintuquer Canal) on the east side of Guiyifang. It leads the water from the northern foot of the Mang Mountain to form an artificial canal and merge with the canal.
Therefore, this canal is also called the East Canal.
To the south of Guiyifang and the Caokui are Yujifang, and to the southwest is Chengfufang.
This is a wealthy area where nobles and officials live. Among the many epitaphs in Luoyang in later generations, all epitaphs that indicate that there are houses in Guiyifang are officials. At the same time, there are many temples in the yard, and the most famous one is Taiping Temple built by Princess Taiping. This temple is also known as the symbol of Guiyifang.
Standing in the courtyard, Yang Shouwen looked around.
This is a three-in-one courtyard covering an area of about 3,000 square meters.
The house has been repaired. Although it looks a bit desolate, it is generally still preserved. However, the huge house is deserted, and there are about hundreds of houses in total. Yang Shouwen stood on the steps of the main hall, looking confused. Not only him, but even Yang and others were at a loss.
"Brother, this house is not bad."
Zheng Qian stammered: "It's just that we only have a few people, why do we live in such a large courtyard?"
Yes, ask me, who should I ask?
