The Crown Princess was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's true, but His Highness Changle refused..."
Li Chengqian said flatly: "Don't worry about her. Marriage is a matter of parents' order and the matchmaker's words. How can you allow her to be willful? You should carefully select the candidates and go to the palace alone to meet your father one day and try your best to promote the marriage. The boss is not young anymore, so why not?
Can it be delayed like this?"
The Crown Princess responded, but there was unavoidable doubt in her heart.
She had naturally heard about the scandal between Fang Jun and Chang Le. In the past, due to Fang Jun's friendship, the prince always avoided asking about Chang Le's marriage. Why did he suddenly mention it today, but with such a firm attitude?
I just saw him talking to Fang Jun very well, and the two of them were muttering in the main hall all afternoon, and no one was allowed to come near. It definitely didn't look like they were getting angry after the conversation had broken down, so how could they care so much in the blink of an eye?
Are you talking about Changle’s marriage?
And he looked like he was very dissatisfied with someone...
But he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
A few days ago, I talked too much to Fang Jun about the dispute over the reserve, but I kept my thoughts hidden in my heart. As a result, I went out of my way to the prince who I always loved and doted on, and severely reprimanded him, which made him very angry.
She still had lingering fears, knowing that there were some things about Fang Jun that she could never interfere with.
The entire Tang Dynasty knew the importance of Fang Jun to the Crown Prince. Once the Crown Prince could keep his position as Crown Prince or even ascend the throne, she, the Crown Princess, would be the most important beneficiary. Under such circumstances, how could she dare to interfere again?

*****
As the New Year approaches, nobles like Fang Jun become even busier and busier. There are constant banquets throughout the day but they cannot be turned away. They can only attend banquets one after another. Fortunately, he has a strong drinking capacity and does not have a lot of food.
I personally dared to force him to drink, so I didn't feel overwhelmed after each round.
He didn't feel bored at all. Chinese culture has always been like this. What matters is a person's worldliness. The higher one is in a high position, the less one should be arrogant. No matter in the market or in the official career, everyone has his own circle, which requires careful attention.
To operate and maintain.
Being sober is not simply being tactful, nor being hypocritically flattering, nor simply succumbing to reality, but truly understanding the meaning of life and running a harmonious social circle.
Humans are social animals and cannot be separated from society. They can only actively integrate into it. The only way to show success is to deal with people in a calm and sophisticated way. If you regard them as burdens and fetters, and therefore dislike them and resent them, then
Something went wrong.
Of course, after socializing with relatives and friends one after another, you will inevitably feel tired. Occasionally, finding a secluded place and relaxing for a long time with a cup of fragrant tea is the most relaxing thing.
The Zhongnan Mountains start from Kunlun and end at Mount Song. They are graceful and majestic. They serve as the southern screen of the city and a huge obstacle to Yongliang. The mountains are far away and the valleys are deep and unexplorable. Ever since I was wearing a coat of colorful clouds
, rode a green ox to the west and entered the Qin Dynasty. This place was regarded as the most important place for Taoists in the world.
There are dense ravines and crisscrossing mountains. Every winter, the trees and leaves on the mountains have fallen off and are covered with white snow. The clouds and mist are so clear and clear that it feels like a fairyland.
At the bottom of the valley surrounded by mountains, there are hot springs gurgling out from the cracks in the rocks. The hot air condenses when it encounters cold, and the mist evaporates.
Sitting in the monastery, opening the window and overlooking the undulating mountains that are isolated from the north wind, taking a sip of a cup of hot fragrant tea, feeling the aura of the empty mountain that is independent from the world, and all the hustle and bustle of the world is carried behind the white snow.
The white snow and cool air swept away.
…
"No wonder so many sages and powerful men choose to live in seclusion here. The spiritual energy of the world gathers among the mountains, peaks, streams and springs. Sit and watch the clouds rise and disappear, feel the flowers bloom and wither, sigh at the impermanence of fate, and think about the eternity of heaven and earth. It can indeed make people happy.
When a person cleanses his heart and spleen, removes dirt and dirt, he is infinitely close to the way of heaven."
Fang Jun was leaning in front of the window, surrounded by mountains that cut off the cold wind. Although the valley was covered with snow, there was also a gurgling hot spring, but he didn't feel cold. Occasionally he drank a cup of hot tea, which made him feel like he was in harmony with nature.
Pleasant fun.
Of course, it may be that there is a peerless beauty sitting in front of him, and she is so beautiful and delicious that she feels relaxed and happy...
Princess Changle poured tea with bare hands, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and she was surprised when she heard this: "The Duke of Yue also understands the way of heaven?"
Fang Jun took a sip of tea and protested: "This place is filled with spiritual energy and beautiful scenery. It's just you and me sitting across from each other drinking tea. We should open our hearts and be frank. Why do we call 'the Duke of the Kingdom' so unconventional? It's not a small thing to be ingenious.
, but I also thought that I have known His Highness for a long time and are sincere to each other, so I might as well call him Erlang to show my closeness."
Princess Changle thought about the ambiguity of calling her "Erlang" and heard him say "open your heart". Suddenly, her pretty face turned red, and she softly spat: "Who dares to be so frank with you? It's so shameless."
only."
"Hey!"
Fang Jun put down his teacup and pretended to be angrily: "Doesn't that count? Back on Zhongnan Mountain, His Highness was captured by thieves. I didn't want to sacrifice my life to save him. Isn't it an exaggeration to say that I have stabbed you in both sides?"
I was in danger in the south of the Yangtze River for a few days. Thanks to His Highness, I went to the enemy camp alone to ask for help. I can also praise you for your righteousness! We have shared life and death, adventures and hardships, shouldn't we still be worthy of the four words of 'treat each other with sincerity and sincerity'?"
Princess Changle pursed her lips, gave Fang Jun a charming look, lowered her head to pour tea, her fair and slender neck and crystal clear earlobes were all red.
Back then, he was kidnapped by Changsun Chong, but Fang Jun desperately rescued him, and finally fell into a ravine filled with fallen leaves. This guy was dishonest and took advantage of his boss; a few days ago in Jiangnan, this guy encountered a rainy night.
The assassin hid in his boudoir, and even entered the room to have a frank interview with her.
Especially that night when they confessed their feelings to each other, the barrier between the two disappeared, but it also made her, who was dignified by nature, feel even more shy, embarrassed and at a loss.
As the eldest daughter of the royal family, she has received the most orthodox education since she was a child. Women have three obediences and four virtues. They smile without showing their teeth and walk without wearing skirts. They are most dignified and virtuous. Now that she and Fang Jun have mutual admiration for each other, this sense of shame is enough.
Make her collapse.
If Fang Jun hadn't come to the door today, she would never have dared to meet him in private.
After calming down, he touched the hair at the temples with his fingers. He lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, not daring to meet Fang Jun's burning gaze, and said softly: "Why did you come here today?"
Fang Jun watched her push the tea cup in front of him with her fingers as white as jade, sat up straight, and asked: "His Royal Highness, I heard that someone has proposed marriage to His Highness recently?"
Princess Changle picked up the teacup and put it to her lips, took a sip and hummed.
Fang Jun asked again: "His Royal Highness is already very old. As His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, the Ancient Buddha of Qing Deng cannot die alone, right? Even though His Highness has a noble status and a safe life, he must have children to support him, otherwise he will grow old and frail in the future.
But still being alone, isn’t it too desolate?”
Princess Changle paused, placed the tea cup on the coffee table in front of her, raised her eyes and glanced at Fang Jun, then turned to look at the snowy scene outside the window: "What do you mean?"
Fang Jun was silent.
What else can he mean? The identity between the two is destined to become a deadlock. No matter from any angle of human relations and legal principles, there is no possible outcome.
The best result is naturally to forget each other in the world.
But every man has a strong possessive desire. If he lets go like this, he will feel at a loss...
For a moment, there was silence in the monastery. The two people's eyes met, but they separated immediately.
Only the kettle on the stove made a "gurgling" sound, and clouds of white gas spurted out from the spout, filling the house.
Princess Changle's snow-white hands lifted the kettle and poured boiling water into the teapot.
The water is dense and the tea is fragrant.
After a long time, Princess Changle, whose eyes drifted out of the window, sighed leisurely and said softly: "People have to accept their fate. As the price of my father's political marriage, I married into the eldest grandson's family. I have been wronged but I never harbored any resentment. Since I am my father.
The emperor's daughter enjoys the most noble glory of time, so she naturally has to make sacrifices. As a result, it is destined that no matter how much she pays, she cannot restore what she wants to maintain. Now that things have come to this, she has long been lamenting and fearing the fate of her marriage.
I thought about the ancient Buddha with a blue lantern for the rest of my life, and lived in peace for the rest of my life, but I didn’t want to meet you again... That’s how fate plays tricks on people.”
Turning his head, he met Fang Jun's eyes. Looking at the face in front of him that was not handsome but full of sunshine, he suddenly smiled like a lily blooming and said softly: "Fate is destined, and marriages are numbered.
Why do we have to have a certain result? Let nature take its course, but it’s also good.”
