Chapter 95 Untitled-6
Li Qu saw that she was full of disbelief, so he took two sips from the teacup and said nothing more.
In order to save him face, Tang Xiaoshi replied perfunctorily: "It's true that I don't know how to give gifts." Then she declined, "Your Highness, don't be so troublesome, I don't usually like wearing hairpin jewelry."
Xiao Dai's hair is dense and long, and she feels tired when she puts it on her head like a bun, a few simple hairpins are enough, those pearls and gemstones are beautiful, but they really fall down when worn on her head.
If she hadn't been attending a palace banquet today, she wouldn't have worn so many, like she was tied to a brick, and she was afraid of accidentally twisting her neck if she turned her head sideways.
Li Qu glanced up at her head, thinking that when he first met the person in front of him, his hair was simply tied and he didn't have any jewelry.
Not long after, the palace maid came in with the soup, and Tang Xiaoshi felt drowsy again not long after drinking the medicine.
Seeing her covering her face, Li Qu yawned, and said with a smile, "It will be dawn in a little more than an hour, the princess will rest in the side hall!" He only gave orders to Han Nu Shi, got up and left first.
When Tang Xiaoshi woke up, it was already daylight, Li Qu came over after washing up, seeing that she was in better spirits, and said, "Princess, go back to the other hall first!"
She froze for a moment, thinking that she really didn't need to stay longer, in fact, she should have left the palace with the other ministers last night, and now she regretted staying all night and didn't sleep well.
Li Qu asked an internal servant to escort her out of the palace.
After returning to the annex, she ordered Han Nvshi to take the things sent by Empress Yong and Princess Cheng'an yesterday for inspection, and drank the decoction by herself and continued to catch up on sleep.
When she woke up again in the afternoon, Han Nushi reported that there was nothing wrong with the jade bracelet presented by Empress Yong, and the surface of the pearl hairpin given by Princess Cheng An was indeed poisoned.Poison will not kill a person, but poison entering the body will cause dizziness and vomiting, destroy the foundation of the person, and cause pain.
"Did you check Princess Cheng'an?" Since he was attacking her, there was naturally an interest involved.
"My servant has inquired from the adults that although Princess Cheng'an and King De are compatriots, their relationship is not considered good. On the contrary, she has a deep relationship with King Kang and King Duan, especially the relationship with King Duan is extraordinary."
King Duan, as Tang Xiaoshi knew, was the second son of the first empress.
Lord Liu told her that Beiyong's court hall was not made of iron barrels. After the death of the crown prince, there has been no heir. The three princes, De Wang, Kang Wang and Duan Wang, all stared at the seat of the East Palace, and they also fought for the top in private. Broken blood.
King De had been defeated by Daliang several times before, and he seemed to be getting farther and farther away from the crown prince. However, in the battle of Heyangyuan half a year ago, tens of thousands of Daliang's northern border troops died tragically, and Daliang had to cede land at the age of tribute. King Duan was far out of reach, which established King De's position in the dynasty.
It should be because of this that Princess Cheng'an was biased towards King Duan earlier.
"Where is Princess Suining? Which prince is she usually close to?" She is a princess who holds real power, and Princess Cheng'an cannot be compared with her.
"Princess Suining is not biased. Her relationship with the princes is average. I haven't seen whether she is on the side of King De. It's just that Princess Lingxiang loves King De."
Tang Xiaoshi said with a smile: "She is someone who has experienced the emperor's seizure of the throne. She has been favored for more than ten years and has real power in her hands. She is also an extremely smart woman. Now that the prince seizes the throne again, she naturally has her own. A set of means." This is not what she can guess.
For such a woman, in the face of power, the marriage of children does not seem to be that important.
The situation in Beiyong is indeed more complicated than that in Daliang, and she has obviously been involved in this vortex now.
He ordered Han Nvshi to invite Mr. Liu and other officials to come over and talk to them about the matter.
She is not clear about the politics of the two countries, and now that something like this has happened, the only people she can trust are Liang Guo officials.
After Master Liu and the other adults glanced at each other, he pondered for a moment before opening his mouth: "King De made great contributions in the First Battle of Heyangyuan, and he is already a sure thing for the crown prince. Marriage with Daliang will have some influence on King De's succession , but very little.” After all, De Wang can’t think that Liang Guo will support him, and now Liang Guojun’s subjects hate him to the bone.
Tang Xiaoshi doubts the purpose of Princess An, there must be no personal grievances between them, the enmity between family and country should also be due to Xiao Dai's hatred of her.The only thing that can be explained is that she obstructed Princess Cheng An, and this obstruction was undoubtedly related to Li Qu.
"If I die..." she muttered softly, and then asked everyone, "Who will benefit the most?"
Master Liu and the others got up hurriedly: "Princess, speak carefully."
She waved her hand, telling them to speak up.
"My servant is bold." Mr. Liu said, "Princess marrying De Wang Li Qu safely, although it will not help Li Qu much in winning the heir, but if the princess encounters an accident, it will be disadvantageous to De Wang. The winners are naturally King Kang and King Duan. .”
Tang Xiaoshi pondered and shook her head: "Not necessarily. Mr. Liu said that I suffered an accident, which was not good for King De, but he was killed in the open, but if he unknowingly sent me to the west under the pretext of being unacceptable Lu, it won't do much harm to King De."
Master Liu and the official general looked at each other.
Tang Xiaoshi suddenly understood: "If Princess Cheng'an is really a member of King Duan, why did she murder her so much?"
Several people also raised doubts, which is indeed unreasonable.
"Princess, Princess Cheng An wants to get rid of the princess, but also wants to protect King De?"
She nodded.
"I don't know how many adults know that Princess Suiyang's only daughter, Princess Lingxiang, loves De Wang Li Qu?"
Several adults don't know about these children's love affairs.After what Tang Xiaoshi said, they also understood.If King De has the support of Princess Suining again, no one can compete with him for the position of crown prince.
Princess Cheng'an is part of King De's party.
After the adults left, she leaned on the soft couch and looked at the pearl hairpin on the small table in front of her.After a long time, let Han Nvshi put it away.
Li Qu didn't come again, although it was the New Year's Eve, there was an endless stream of people entering and leaving the annex every day, all of them were busy preparing for the big wedding ceremony on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month.Mrs. Liu and the other ladies in the palace are well prepared, so she doesn't need to worry about it. Although she occasionally asks her opinion on important matters, she just nods and shakes her head to switch without thinking too much.
On the day of Shangyuan Festival, she was wrapped tightly three layers inside and three layers outside, so Han Nushi agreed to let her go out to enjoy the lanterns and join in the fun.
Los Angeles is no longer deserted on New Year's Eve. At dusk, the streets are already full of traffic and very congested.
The Lantern Festival in Los Angeles is different from that in Liangdu, and it is also different from the Lantern Festival in the previous time and space that she has experienced in the past, but the same thing is the street full of lanterns and eating, drinking and having fun.
On this day, the people of the whole city seemed to be on holiday, shoulder to shoulder.Tang Xiaoshi was wearing bulky clothes and a thick cloak, and she was a little out of breath after walking around the street.
She was about to find a teahouse with a good location, and went in to rest while watching the lanterns from a high place, but she saw Li Qu walking towards him, he was wearing light clothes, not even a cloak.
"The princess came out early."
"Is it early?" She didn't go out until almost sunset, she paused, and realized that Li Qu had been to the other building.
"The streets are too crowded. This king took the princess to a good place to enjoy the lanterns." He raised his hand and pointed to the front, and the man walked away.
Tang Xiaoshi was hesitating when she was suddenly bumped heavily by someone passing by her.I don't know how many times I was bumped by pedestrians. It is indeed too hard to watch the lanterns like this, so let him go.
"Where are you going?" She chased after her.
"Qiyun Building."
I've never heard of it, but the name sounds like a good place.
Qiyun Building is a three-storey attic located at the intersection of two main streets. At this time, it was already full of people, and guests and staff shouted one after another.
As soon as the man came up to meet him, he pushed aside the people around him and hurried down the stairs to lead the way.
This person is the military officer with a familiar face.
A group of people arrived at the elegant room on the third floor, and there was a terrace facing the street.Tang Xiaoshi couldn't wait to go out, looking towards the left and right streets, a fire dragon spread to the north and south.The yelling of pedestrians on the street was also quieter, and it was suddenly quieter.
Li Qu walked up to her and said with a smile, "Isn't the line of sight here pretty good?"
"It's okay."
"What is the princess like?"
"Naturally there." She pointed to a place to the south.
Li Qu followed her hand and looked at the south gate tower of Luocheng.
"The princess's requirements are not low."
Tang Xiaoshi smiled, looked back at her half-seriously and half-jokingly: "Do you believe that I will stand on that tower overlooking the lights of Luoyang City in the future?"
Li Qu's face froze, and his gaze became cold.
She smiled and didn't answer the topic again, looking down at all kinds of lanterns of different sizes and the bustling crowd downstairs.Just at the right time, a float was parading here, and on the float were six or seven women dancing, and several musicians were playing percussion instruments at the front and back.
There was a lot of people on the street, and the floats were surrounded by several floors, moving very slowly.
"This king will take you to the highest place there to see the lights."
Li Qu's low voice came from beside her, Tang Xiaoshi was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at him, and followed her gaze to the north, where the imperial palace was.
After being stunned for a moment, she sneered, "I won't go."
"Why?"
"No reason." Although Nanliang is not very close, it is Xiao Dai's mother country after all, where there are Xiao Dai's relatives and the people she loves the most.
Thinking of Zhao Lin, she suddenly felt a little lost again, looked south again, and looked up at Mingyue.At this time, Zhao Lin must be sitting in a secluded place in the barracks, looking up at the moon, thinking of Xiao Dai.Maybe even cry secretly?
When he saw off that day, he endured and endured so that no tears would fall from his eyes.
Li Qu looked at her expression, guessed what she was thinking, and also looked south.
"You should know your current identity. You are the Princess of Liang, and even the future concubine of King Yongde."
"so what?"
Li Qu's face darkened, his eyes were frighteningly cold, he turned and walked back into the room.
Tang Xiaoshi ignored him and continued admiring the bright moon lanterns, looking at the nearby or distant lights.
"Xiao Dai." Li Qu's voice suddenly sounded, with a bit of sharpness, "You and Zhao Lin are in the past."
Tang Xiaoshi turned her head and saw the face of the person sitting at the table was as cold as frost.
She walked into the room, saw the military officer standing by the door, walked over with a smile, and stood still in front of the military officer.
The military officer was a little nervous, bowed his head to Li Qu and said, "If Your Highness has no orders, this subordinate will step down first."
"I met you in Liangdu." Tang Xiaoshi said flatly and stopped him. "I saw it many years ago."
"The princess must have recognized the wrong person."
"I know that you were King De's personal guard many years ago. If you have been to Liangdu, King De must have been there too."
