bastard seizes tang

Chapter 720
In the Tang Dynasty, the atmosphere was the most open, especially when it came to marriage. It was much more relaxed than the previous and later dynasties. There is a clear conclusion in the "Law of Zhenguan" that widows can remarry after staying alone for three years, and even some border states In order to enrich the population, widows are encouraged to remarry.

The folks are like this, and the royal family is even more so. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, when a princess married out, some of the concubines died early.Coupled with Li Shimin's "beads and jades first", no matter what Li Ke does, it seems to be justifiable and there are examples to follow.

This matter has been widely circulated in the outside world. When it was decided early, with Li Shimin speaking, the next day after Li Ke returned to the East Palace, the Inner Palace issued an order to the Wufu, accepting Wu Shun, the eldest daughter of the Wu family, as the prince Liangdi , Choose today to welcome into the East Palace.

The edict in the palace did not go to the Marquis of Wuchuan, but directly to the Wufu, which means that Wushun was a woman who returned to her natal family after her father died, and entered the East Palace as a daughter of the Wu family. Not the wife of the dead husband.

Chang'an City, Fenglefang, Wufu.

When the canonization decree from the palace was passed to the Wufu, Yang was also very surprised. Recently, Yang knew about the uproarious news in Chang'an City, but she didn't expect it to be handled in such a way in the end. Yang was shocked He was at a loss for a while, and when he regained his composure, he quickly called Wu Shun to the inner courtyard of the Wu Mansion to inquire about the matter.

"I don't know why Auntie called her here?" Yang called hurriedly, Wu Shun could vaguely guess Yang's purpose for calling her here, and asked pretending not to know.

Mrs. Yang handed Wushun the edict sent by the palace just now, and said to Wushun, "This is the edict sent by the palace just now, just take a look."

Since Li Ke left the palace yesterday, Wu Shun knew that Li Shimin had accepted Wu Shun as his concubine, but he still didn't know what title he gave. Looking forward to it, he quickly took the decree from Yang's hand, and read it. When Wu Shun saw the word "Liangdi" written in the text, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and he was even more happy.

Although there are not many women in Li Ke's inner court, there are only a handful of them, but the ranks of wives and concubines are still not in the slightest. Emperor Liang set two of them up, ranking third rank, second only to the Crown Princess.

Of course, there is a special case in the inner courtyard of Li Ke's East Palace, that is, Langri Linzhi, the princess of Tubo who married into Datang. Below the Crown Princess, above Liang Di.

Although Liang Di is a concubine, she is also the head of concubines. Now the two positions of Liang Di are vacant, and Wushun will be the only Liang Di when she enters the East Palace.

Although Wu Shun is still very young, Wu Shun is two years younger than Li Ke, but she is twenty-four, and now she is canonized as the prince Liangdi, and it is only waiting for her to give birth to Li Ke's children as soon as possible. In the worst case, she is also the birth mother of the county king, so she will not worry about being rich all her life.

For Wushun, this is just the beginning. If Li Ke ascends the throne in the future, Liangdi Wushun, who will be the crown princess, will almost be one of the four final concubines. Even better, it is not impossible to seal the queen.

You know, the current Li Ke's biological mother, Empress Yang, during the short few months when Li Shimin was the prince, Li Shimin gave the position of Prince Liangdi, which is the same as Wushun now. Empress Yang can do it, why is she Wushun? no?
The moment Wushun saw Lingshu, her state of mind almost changed drastically. She was still cautious and cautious, but something called ambition had slowly grown in her heart.

Yang looked at Wu Shun, who still had a smile on Wu Shun's face, and asked Wu Shun, "Shun'er, what's the reason?"

Wu Shun replied: "Aniang, isn't this order clearly written in the book? Your Majesty ordered that your son be the Prince Liangdi, and enter the East Palace to serve the Prince. The Marquis of Wuchuan's mansion has been properly arranged. Entering the palace is just a matter of two days."

Naturally, Yang could understand what was written in the book, but what really puzzled Yang was that it happened so suddenly, Yang asked, "How could Your Majesty suddenly make such an order?"

Wu Shun replied: "Your Majesty's intentions are something we can guess, I don't know here, but maybe it's a special favor for our Wu family."

Yang Shi was a little worried and said: "Your Majesty made a sudden order, and you suddenly entered the East Palace. If Meiniang knows about this, I don't know how Meiniang will feel. I'm afraid it will be very difficult."

There is some truth in what Yang said. Wu Meiniang is the crown princess and Li Ke's main wife. Suddenly, the emperor ordered his sister Wu Shun to be Li Ke's concubine. Di, how does Wu Meiniang feel about this, Wu Meiniang is naturally worried and unhappy.

What Yang said was good, but when Wu Shun heard it, it had a different flavor. What is Wu Meiniang entering the East Palace? How does Wu Meiniang feel? By the way, Wu couldn't marry Li Ke, so he deserved to live as a widow for the rest of his life despite the rumors outside?

Wu Shun raised his head and asked back: "The matter between the son and the crown prince was originally meant by Mei Niang, and it has not been a day or two since the son and the crown prince have been like this. Is it the first day that my mother knew about it? ask?"

Wu Shun has been serving Li Ke privately for several years, and even outsiders know about it, so of course Yang doesn't know. Yang knows that Wu Shun did this to consolidate the interests of the Wu family, so Yang pretended not to know. That's all.

In fact, although Wu Shun didn't say anything these years, he was still somewhat dissatisfied with Yang's in his heart.In Wushun's view, if it wasn't for Yang's betrothing himself to the Helan family early in the past, perhaps the Wu family would have married the Chu Palace, married Li Ke and became the official wife, and Wushun would have become the current princess.

Seeing Wu Shun's reaction, Yang Shi also knew that she had made a mistake, and Yang Shi hurriedly said: "Mother didn't mean that, you and Meiniang are both mother's own daughters, and Mother treats them as normal, there is no distinction between high and low. Mother is just worried that you will be together in the East Palace in the future, if there is any disagreement, it will hurt the sisterhood."

Wu Shun said: "Ehuang and Nvying are also sisters in ancient times. They served Emperor Shun together. Aren't they also deeply affectionate as sisters and have a good story? The predecessors can do it, so can we sisters."

Knowing son Mo Ruomu, Wu Meiniang and Wu Shun are both born by Yang's family. Yang's temper is very clear to both of them. Both of them are not willing to be inferior to others and give in easily, but there is only one Li Ke, and they will go on like this for a long time , how can there be no conflict.

Yang said: "The lips and teeth are symbiotic, and there is a possibility of hurting each other. Mother is just worried that you will be together in the East Palace in the future. After getting along for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be occasional frictions in order to win the crown prince's favor."

Hearing this, Wu Shun said with a smile: "I'm the elder sister. If I really have any disagreements with my sister in the future, I should give way to my sister. Besides, we are one family after all. No matter what happens in the future, A Niang They are both the prince's mother-in-law, so why should you worry about it?"
