Fang Jun looked at Princess Changle, grinned, and said teasingly: "Men and women are not close to each other. Your Highness, Changle, knows the rules and etiquette, and naturally abides by the etiquette."
Princess Changle also looked at him, their eyes met, and she couldn't help but blush.
But it was from the phrase "men and women are not intimate" that I thought of the scene of sleeping together in each other's arms that night at Xu's Manor in the south of the Yangtze River...
With shyness and throbbing in her heart, she gave Fang Jun a hard look and ignored him as he sat on a wicker chair outside. He straightened his skirt and covered his slender feet wearing wooden clogs to avoid being molested by some dirty things.
The elders took advantage.
Princess Gaoyang didn't notice the ambiguity between the two of them, and glared at her husband with some dissatisfaction: "Why do you talk so weirdly..."
But because the wicker chair near Fang Jun was occupied by Princess Jinyang, she had to sit between the sisters.
He looked at Wu Meiniang and Jin Shengman who were very busy on the side, thought for a moment, and said: "My sister-in-law's grandmother's birthday was celebrated earlier, but she couldn't go because of Sanlang's wedding. After the New Year, my sister-in-law has to go back to her parents' home to visit relatives, so she has to pay for it."
Just make up for it with a generous gift."
Wu Meiniang raised her head when she heard this, nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for reminding me. I will definitely not forget it."
Gao Yang paid attention and smiled, waving his hands and saying: "I am also free, how can you neglect this kind of thing, Mei Niang? You can just deal with it as you like, I will never ask anything about it again."
The most important thing for a family is harmony.
Nowadays, the second room of the Fang family is like a raging fire cooking oil, the icing on the cake. It is becoming more and more prosperous day by day, and the eldest room will inevitably be lost. Not only is Fang Jun's high rank now highly valued by his father, but also he, the princess, is in charge, and almost
All the properties of the Fang family are in charge of Wu Meiniang, and the presence of the eldest son is really low.
Although Fang Yizhi has an pedantic temperament and Du Shi is calm and quiet, and does not care much about these false things, people have a desire to compare, so the second fang should pay more attention to the feelings of the elder fang, and always take care of and express condolences, and ask for help if anything happens.
As large as possible.
Wu Meiniang looked at the gift list in front of her and said: "The slave family selected some valuable items such as musk, tortoise shell, coral and so on from the New Year's gift sent by the navy, and added them to my sister-in-law's gift list. I wonder if they are suitable."
These items are truly priceless and first-class treasures in this era.
Fang Jun drank tea and said casually: "You can weigh it yourself. What is suitable or not? My eldest brother is strict and bookish. He usually doesn't care about these things. My sister-in-law will inevitably face some doubts in her natal family.
If the gift is heavier, it can be a good way to show off to my sister-in-law."
Comparisons are particularly common among aristocratic families. Comparing power, wealth, and heirs, there is nothing that cannot be compared. Fang Yizhi's temperament is really weird. He never cares about his career, let alone seeking connections, he just
Reading blindly, instead of chatting with friends, and carrying the airs of a prime minister, but actually not having any power or financial resources, inevitably made my sister-in-law, Mrs. Du, somewhat unable to hold her head high in her natal family and was ridiculed by others.
Therefore, not only does Fang Jun prepare a generous gift for the eldest daughter-in-law every year, but whenever the sister-in-law's family asks for something, Fang Jun does his best to do it beautifully.
Wu Meiniang said with a smile: "The slave family knows."
He lowered his head again, muttered to Jin Shengman, and copied out the gift list.
Princess Changle sighed with emotion: "With Mei Niang taking care of these trivial matters at home, you and your wife really save a lot of worry. Otherwise, why wouldn't you care about these personal relationships?"
Wu Meiniang smiled and said: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness, I don't dare to accept it."
Princess Changle said softly: "Who do you dare to pretend to be? Nowadays, the children of countless aristocratic families in Chang'an City are envious of the Duke of Yue. He can marry such a beautiful and intelligent woman as Lady Wu, and the red sleeves of Princess Silla add fragrance...
…”
Wu Meiniang did not dare to refute, but Princess Gao Yang couldn't help but laugh and said: "What my sister said, why does it sound so sour?"
Princess Changle's face turned red and she glared at Princess Gaoyang.
Fang Jun changed the topic and said: "I was summoned by Your Majesty yesterday. After resigning, I went to Shujing Hall to see Your Majesty and we have something to discuss."
Before Princess Changle could answer, Wu Meiniang had already collected the pen and ink in the account book, and stood up with Jin Shengman, saying: "The gentleman has discussed with His Highness, and I will go somewhere else to sort out the gift list."
After saying this, he bowed to the princesses and walked out.
Princess Changle went to see Fang Jun. Fang Jun thought for a while and realized that he would never avoid Wu Meiniang for anything. However, the next matter of the conversation involved His Majesty Li Er. After all, it was "a taboo for His Majesty".
The princesses felt a little embarrassed in front of them, so they allowed Wu Meiniang and Jin Shengman to walk away and go to the neighboring house.
Princess Gaoyang and Princess Changle couldn't help but sit upright.
They all knew that Fang Jun valued Wu Meiniang very much and even wanted to avoid Wu Meiniang. It must be an extremely important matter and they did not dare to neglect it.
Fang Jun then took a sip of tea, looked at the three princesses and said, "Have your highnesses noticed anything wrong with your majesty recently?"
The three princesses suddenly frowned, confused.
Princess Gao Yang said angrily: "Are you feeling itchy again? Your father hasn't beaten you for a few days, but he dares to arrange it behind your back?"
Fang Jun's face was solemn and he said calmly: "This is what I asked, and His Highness will answer this. Don't involve others."
Princess Gaoyang suddenly fell silent.
Although she is a princess and Fang Jun respects her a lot, Fang Jun still occupies the dominant position between the couple. He usually just chirps, but Fang Jun doesn't care about her, and rarely speaks in such a serious tone.
appeared, it can be seen that the situation must be serious.
After just thinking about it for a long time, the three of them didn't think of anything wrong. Princess Changle couldn't help but ask: "If you have anything to say, just say it. Between us... you are Gao Yang's consort, what else can't you say?"
Woolen cloth?"
Fang Jun smiled bitterly and said: "The problem is that Wei Chen is just guessing."
Princess Gao Yang became more and more worried and urged: "What are you going to say if you are not guessing?"
Fang Jun rubbed his face and said slowly: "Weichen thinks... His Majesty is taking pills."
The three princesses were stunned together.
Princess Jinyang didn't understand this and asked curiously: "What kind of elixir?"
Fang Jun said: "Of course I am looking for the elixir of immortality."
Princess Jinyang was familiar with history books, so she knew this and said disapprovingly: "Since ancient times, there are countless people seeking immortality, even among emperors. Why should my brother-in-law care?"
Taoist secrets have always been spread among the nobles. Although Princess Jinyang is young, she has heard about it. The aristocratic family members and royal family members all highly respect the Taoist alchemy technique. There are many people who are obsessed with it. Wherever there is a need for this
So cautious?
Facing the eyes of the three princesses, Fang Jun said after careful consideration: "Because Wei Chen discovered that your Majesty's body is already in trouble... Although it is not clear, it is most likely due to taking pills. Moreover,
As far as Wei Chen knows, the elixir your Majesty took was not made by Taoist priests, but by Fan monks."
Princess Gao Yang suddenly raised her eyebrows and asked in surprise: "A monk can also make elixirs?"
The art of alchemy and mercury has always been a Taoist secret. Only Taoists with profound practice can gain a glimpse of it, and use it to enter the realm of heaven and man, and pursue immortality. What Buddhism emphasizes is sudden enlightenment and essence.
Through cultivation, the six roots will be purified and cut off from the worldly world, and then the physical body will become a Buddha.
It's completely irrelevant.
Fang Jun said: "A few days ago, I went to Jiucheng Palace with you to escape the summer heat. Does your Highness still remember?"
Princess Gaoyang nodded.
"There is a Jin Biao Gate in the Jiucheng Palace, and a Taoist temple outside the gate, and there is a monk living here. Wei Chen has seen that monk before, coming from Tianzhu, and it is said that he knows the art of yin and yang immortality.
Being able to refine the secret medicine, His Majesty hid it in the palace. However, the ministers repeatedly criticized him, and His Majesty was unable to do so. He was expelled from the palace and has been missing since then. Now it seems that His Majesty has not given up his desire for immortality.
, but hid the monk in Jiucheng Palace, secretly refined the elixir, and took it regularly."
Fang Jun frowned: "Although Your Majesty used to have a strong temper, he was never angry for nothing, and he could listen to others' advice. But these days, he is often furious, and he insists on going his own way, unable to listen to any different opinions, and often gets angry. Especially especially...
Wei Chen has discovered that His Majesty's mood is extremely unstable several times, which are the dangers of the elixir."
Princess Jinyang's face turned pale, she stretched out her slender hands to pull Fang Jun's sleeves, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother-in-law, shouldn't the elixir have damaged my father's dragon body?"
Fang Jun was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.
In fact, such words cannot be spoken. It is treacherous to speculate on the emperor's physical condition. If you encounter a violent emperor, this alone can kill people.
