Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2365
Queen Seondeok sighed quietly, wrapped her hands around her slender waist, rested her sharp chin on her fragrant shoulders, stared through the window at the sparkling water outside, and could see the water flowing through the bend of the river ahead. A corner of Bihe.

"In this world, women have always been vassals. Even if they are as expensive as you and me, why are they not sacrifices under the power of men? No matter if it is a woman who is high above and looks famous, the bottom line is to marry a good man. Compared to those hypocrites with big bellies and greasy faces in the imperial court, Fang Jun is already the best choice. If he were to change places, even if he was still the princess of Silla, I would marry him without hesitation..."

It has always been the case that men are superior to women.

No matter how outstanding a woman is, she must eventually be attached to a man, otherwise she will become a prey in the feast of power, and will be regarded by men as a gorgeous ornament that reflects her own value, and then she will chase after her crazily.

Being able to find a good husband according to one's own wishes is already the luck that can't be more extravagant...

Princess Zhende lightly pressed her hands that were folded in front of her lower abdomen, her beautiful eyes blinked, her long eyelashes fluttered playfully a few times, and she teased, "Why does my sister always praise Fang Jun in front of her? Benefits? Could it be that my sister has fallen in love with Fang Jun, but she has to pin all her emotions on her, and she will marry her with her whole heart?"

After finishing speaking, he realized that he seemed to have said something wrong, stuck out his tongue in fright, and snuggled into his sister's arms.

As the queen of Silla, her family and country are now broken, and she has to move around and live in Chang'an, using her body as a pawn to protect the elders of Silla and the ancestral hall of the royal family. What she sacrificed was her freedom and all her longing.

Of course, there is also that love.

What I said unintentionally, but it is very easy to stab a knife in my sister's heart, causing the blood to flow from the pain inside...

Unexpectedly, Queen Shande didn't have any expression of grief, she just tightened the hands around her waist slightly, sighed softly, and said softly: "People live in the world, they always have to bear heavy burdens. burden, and had to give up some beautiful longings for this. Some people, some things, after all, you can’t get it after all. Sometimes, my sister will think that she can bear more and give up more, so that you can get it More, more happiness... So, you must promise your sister that you must live happily, and you must remember that you have to carry the happiness of your sister and live together."

The soft words, facing the powerless struggle of fate, are like invisible knives stabbing Princess Zhende's heart fiercely.

She turned around, hugged Queen Seondeok's slender and graceful neck tightly, buried her face in her shoulder, and burst into tears.

This elder sister who would always leave the best to her and would rather bear all the heavy hardships by herself made her feel so distressed.

However, she couldn't do anything.

Apart from living happily as my sister said, living the happiness of two people...

Queen Shande stretched out her fingers, gently wiped away the crystal tears on Princess Zhende's delicate cheeks, and said with great love and affection: "My sister has prepared a dowry for you, and it will definitely not be worse than that of Xiao's daughter. I want you to stand upright in Fang's house and hold your head up."

These days, when a woman marries into her husband's family, in addition to the power and status of her mother's family, the amount of dowry determines her future status in her husband's family, especially as a concubine.

At the beginning, Queen Seondeok led half of the clan to move to Chang'an, and together they brought all the wealth accumulated by the Jin royal family over the generations. is rich.

Princess Zhende shook her head and looked at her sister with tears in her eyes: "Sister, I don't want it! It is the wealth accumulated by our Jin family for generations, how could it give me so much? My sister should keep some more by her side."

Queen Shande chuckled lightly, and said: "Silly girl, don't say it's those external things. If it wasn't attached to the Tang Dynasty, even this throne would be yours sooner or later. My sister has no children. Could it be that you are taking advantage of outsiders? Besides, we are Under the fence of Changan, the so-called innocent man conceives his own crime, the more money he has in his hand, the more greedy people will covet him, and it will be more likely to go wrong."

Princess Zhende still refused: "But I'm already married, and all the dowry went to Fang's family. How can I be worthy of the ancestors of the Jin family?"

"Ha ha!"

Queen Shande tapped the tip of her nose and said with a smile: "What kind of family do you think the Fang family is? The club' is more because of its unscrupulous behavior. Have you ever heard of any moral corruption? Besides, the Fang family is as rich as an enemy. Our wealth is like a golden mountain in Silla, but the Fang family may not From what I can see, these dowries are now your private property, and will be inherited by your children in the future, so won't they still belong to the blood of our Jin family?"

"Sister, you're making fun of me again..."

Princess Zhende twisted her body, shy and shy, her cheeks were flushed.

Even though this Princess of Silla has a dashing personality and does not give way to a woman, she is still just a big girl in the end. When it comes to getting married and having children, she is inevitably shy and ashamed.

The two sisters are leaning on each other, standing at the window, looking at the scenery of the Qujiang Pool outside the window, and the lotus leaves in the curved and narrow pool that cover the sky and the sun are in harmony, like lotus flowers with double stalks, charming and fragrant.

There was a sound of light footsteps at the top of the stairs, and after a while, a female official came up quickly, bowed her skirt and saluted, with a flustered expression: "Your Majesty, the guard general Pei Xingfang is asking to see you."

The two sisters were taken aback for a moment...

Queen Seondeok loosened her slender hands from her younger sister's waist, her dignified and beautiful face was somewhat gloomy.

Princess Zhende raised her eyebrows slightly, and said displeasedly: "Why is this person so shameless? These days I come here every day to beg for an interview, my sister has rejected him several times, but he still wants to stalk him like this, really. Shameless and shameless, such a vile person is also worthy of being called a child of a family? It's a shame to the ancestors!"

Guard General Pei Xingfang was born in the Pei clan of Hedong, a descendant of a famous family.

However, his most prominent identity does not come from the Pei family. Their father and son are just a partial branch of the huge Pei family in Hedong, and they have not had any outstanding achievements to speak of the glorious lintel. More glory and power are He came from his mother clan——Shangzhu State, Governor of Jingzhou, Duke Dou Yi of Qi State, had three sons and two daughters, one of whom was married to Tang Guogong Li Yuan, and gave birth to Prince Jiancheng, His Majesty Li Er, Qi Wang Yuanji, and another daughter Married to Pei Hongce, the Duke of Huaiyi County, and had a son, Pei Xingfang, who became the rear guard general.

In conclusion, Pei Xingfang and His Majesty Li Er are two aunts and brothers. Empress Taimu and her younger sister have a very strong relationship, and they even love Wuwu. Before Li Yuan raised his troops and proclaimed himself emperor, Tang Guogong's mansion was just like Pei Xingfang's own house. Prince Jian Jian and Qi Wang Yuanji had a very good relationship, but the Pei family remained neutral during the Xuanwu Gate and never participated in it, and His Majesty Li Er never treated Pei Hongce, Pei Xingfang and his son harshly.

……

Queen Seondeok frowned, feeling embarrassed.

Pei Xingfang is not very powerful, but he has a prominent background and is close to the royal family. How can he be provoked by a subordinate like her?
But being so brazen, coveting her own beauty and coming to harass her several times, really annoyed her...

Glancing at the aggrieved younger sister, his heart moved, and he said to the female officer: "Go and tell him, just say that I am not feeling well today, and I caught a cold by accident. When I recover from the illness, I am hosting a banquet."

The female officer hesitated for a moment, did not dare to say more, nodded and said: "Here!"

Turn around and back down.

Princess Zhende's worries are the same as that of the female official: "Sister, even if you shirk today, but that fellow is shameless and stalking, sooner or later he has to solve it, otherwise this delay will really damage my sister's reputation. .”

Previously, the eyes of the rich and powerful in Chang'an were all on Princess Zhende. Now that Princess Zhende and Fang Jun have decided to get married, they dare not dare to think about Princess Zhende again. Greedy for the wealth of the royal family of Silla, he set his sights on Queen Seondeok...

The world view that men are superior to women is always quite tolerant towards men, but picky about women.

Then if Pei Xingfang went in and out of here often, rumors would spread, but most people would think that Pei Xingfang was suave and romantic, while Queen Shande was attracting bees and attracting butterflies.

Queen Shande didn't show much worry, and said with a light smile, "Don't worry, sister, she has her own solution."

Princess Zhende wanted to ask again, but Queen Shande pushed her to go out, and said softly: "In a few days, it will be the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, and the lotus garden will be full of people inside and out, you should take advantage of these days The day is over, hurry up and go to the market in Kunming Lake, south of the city, to buy some rare things from the Western Regions or Southeast Asia, so that you can fill your dowry."
