Capital Datang

Chapter 723 Sizi and Shangguan Court

Li Yin heard Li Shimin's old and carefree voice, but he felt a little sad in his heart. Just yesterday morning, he came to the Ganlu Hall alone, and then told him about Li Shimin's physical condition. The result did not surprise Li Yin. Li Shimin was silent for a long time after hearing this, and finally heaved a long sigh and accepted the fact very calmly. ※ r />

"Father, don't worry, I'm asking my confidantes to prepare for the other things, and they should be done soon, and then I will personally accompany Father to fulfill these wishes!" Li Yin replied with a bow.

When Li Shimin knew that he had less than three months to live, although he accepted the fact calmly, he suddenly remembered that although his life was brilliant, he still had some unresolved concerns. Before passing away, all these wishes will be settled one by one, so that you can leave without any worries, so Li Yin is allowed to prepare, and Sizi's marriage is just one of them.

Hearing Li Yin's answer, Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction. Among his unresolved concerns, there were no major national affairs or the like. Instead, they were all his private affairs. These matters involved some royal family secrets, which are not suitable for Let outsiders know, that's why Li Yin was asked to handle it in person, and the marriage of the son-in-law naturally came first.

Next, Li Yin chatted with Li Shimin for a while, including state affairs and family affairs. In addition, Li Shimin specifically asked Li Zhen, Li Yun, and Li Ke about their itineraries. According to the information Li Yin received, Li Zhen and Li Yun are now He has already arrived in Bohai Bay and is about to enter the Yellow River, while Li Ke has just arrived in Ceylon Island, and it will take at least half a month to reach Chang'an.Capital Datang 723

"Hehe, fortunately, Liu Lang, you let someone make a steam ship, which made the sea traffic several times faster than before. It used to take at least a year to reach us from the Mediterranean Sea, but now it only takes two months. Let me see Saburo goodbye and see me for the last time, and I heard that the Roman queen came with him, but this seems a bit rash. Rome and Wu are both tentatively appointed. As the kings, they are all far away from the country. What if someone in the country makes a "chaos"?"

Li Shimin first sighed with emotion.But then he thought of Li Ke and Irina I coming together, which made him a little dissatisfied as a father, thinking that their actions were too rash, and worried about some rebellion in their country.

After hearing this, Li Yin hurriedly defended the third brother Li Ke: "My father doesn't know, that Queen Irina is already pregnant with the third brother's child. It is now seven months pregnant..."

"Bastard! Why is your third brother getting more and more confused as you live? Originally, Rome needed that queen to settle down. Now that the other party is pregnant again, it is even more impossible to agree to bring her along!" Li Yin hadn't finished speaking. He was interrupted by Li Shimin's angry shout.

Now Li Yin could only smile wryly and explain again: "Father calm down, you listen to my son to finish speaking. In fact, this matter is not to blame for the third brother. That Queen Irina is a very independent woman. After hearing that you were sick, I insisted on seeing you, and offered a cup of tea to you and the queen mother. In addition, she also admires the culture of our Tang Dynasty. I really want to see what the place where the third brother grew up is like , so no matter how Third Brother persuades her, she can't change her determination, and in the end she can only come with her."

Li Shimin burst out laughing after hearing this.Immediately afterwards, he stopped to look at Li Yin and said, "By the way, your third brother doesn't really want to have two queens, does he?"

"Report to the emperor. This is also a matter of no choice. The third brother and the third sister-in-law have a very good relationship, and the third sister-in-law is the niece of the mother and concubine, so no matter what, it is impossible to establish another queen. And Queen Irina The third brother is also very affectionate and loyal, among other things, just being a Roman emperor can double the power of the third brother, and the future development potential is even greater, so she must not be treated as ordinary Concubine, having two empresses is already the best way." Li Yin also said helplessly.

Li Shimin was thoughtful after hearing this, and finally nodded helplessly.After talking about Li Ke, Li Yin was worried that Li Shimin would be tired, and it happened that it was time for him to drink the "medicine", so Li Yin personally fed Li Shimin the "medicine", and then told him to take a good rest, and then he left the palace .

On the east side of the Lizheng Hall, there is an exquisite palace near the East Palace. This palace is called Jinyang Palace. From the name, it can be seen that this is the place where Sizi lived.Originally the palace was called Hanxiu Palace, but after Sizi lived here, it was renamed Jinyang Palace by Li Shimin, which shows Li Shimin's love for Sizi.

In Jinyang Palace, after Si Zi came back, she locked herself in the bedroom alone, crawled on the bed and cried for a long time, and finally she was so tired from crying that she fell asleep unknowingly.The maids in the palace heard the princess's cry and did not dare to disturb her. When Sizi woke up, it was already midnight.

Sizi woke up and rubbed her red and swollen eyes. Thinking of her father's serious illness again, she couldn't help feeling a sore nose and tears dripping down again. It was useless, so the tears were quickly stopped.

At this moment, Sizi felt very hungry. She didn't eat lunch or dinner except for breakfast, but Sizi didn't have any appetite. She just sat up and drank a cup of hot tea, and then thought of the hope that her father had always dreamed of. The matter of getting married by oneself.

Thinking of his own marriage, Sizi couldn't help but think of Shangguan Tingzhi, a man who looked very ordinary and had no resemblance to his father and elder brother, although Shangguan Tingzhi was completely different from the standard of mate selection that Sizi had set for himself before. , but the other party really touched her heart, which even Sizi himself could not deny.

In the shadow of the swaying candle, Sizi walked to her dressing table, and then opened a sandalwood box on it, which contained a box full of sundries, most of which were poems written by Shangguan Tingzhi , In addition, there are some letters expressing friendship, and even some small gifts given to her by the other party. Sizi puts them here very preciously. Whenever she is depressed, she will open the box and put the contents inside one by one. Take it out and appreciate it, it will make her feel better soon.

Sizi was in a sad mood today, but she didn't use this method to make her feel better, because she knew it was useless. After all, it was related to the life and death of her father, and the relationship between a man and a woman could not be diluted.

But when Sizi looked at the things in the box, she couldn't help but think of the scene when she got along with Shangguanting in her mind, which made a sweet smile appear on the corner of her mouth.But soon Sizi sighed, and then looked at the things in the box with complicated eyes. After a long time, Sizi suddenly whispered to himself: "Although this feeling is very good, it's time to end this inseparable relationship." Alright, Shangguan Tingzhi, I'm ready, I wonder if you can accept a princess as your wife?"

At the same time as Sizi was talking to himself, a handsome young man was sitting alone in a gazebo under the moon in a mansion in the south of Chang’an City, holding a folding fan in his hand. On the opened fan, there was a painting of An extremely beautiful girl, if you look carefully, you will find that the charm of the girl in the painting is the same as that of Sizi, and beside the girl, there is a line of small characters written on it.

"Reverend Mingda presents it to You Ting!" The young man softly read out the small characters inscribed on it, the look on his face was full of infatuation, but his tone was a bit painful.

This young man is naturally Shangguan Tingzhi. He and Sizi met by chance in a Taoist temple. At that time, Sizi was dressed as a female crown. Except for these elders and brothers and sisters like Li Yin, few outsiders know Si's name, and it is naturally impossible for Shangguan Tingzhi to guess anything from this name.Capital Datang 723

"Mingda, Mingda, you have been missing for more than a month. No matter how hard I search, I can't find it, and the people in the Taoist temple refuse to tell you. Could it be that you are really tired of getting along with me, that's why you use this kind of method to leave without telling me?" Otherwise, never see me again?" Shangguan Ting's face became more painful, and he even picked up the jug on the table and drank several swigs before stopping.

The reason why Shangguanting was so painful was Sizi's fault.When Li Shimin fell off his horse, Sizi immediately rushed back to the palace from the Taoist temple when he received the news. In panic, he never thought of saying goodbye to Shangguanting. Later, he was even more worried about Li Shimin's health, and he was in no mood to contact him again. All he knew was that Shangguan Tingyi, who went to the Taoist temple to meet Sizi, suddenly lost the news of Sizi, so he misunderstood him, thinking that Sizi never wanted to see him again.

It's just that Shangguan Tingzhi is indeed a seed of infatuation. Even if he feels that he has been abandoned by his son, he still does not change his infatuation. Tonight he feels irritable and can't sleep, so he came to the yard to relax. But he accidentally saw the folding fan in his hand, which made him think of Si Zi.

The folding fan in Shangguanting's hand was a gift from Sizi, and there was a self-portrait drawn by Sizi himself on it.Speaking of a woman giving a portrait of herself to a man, it is almost equivalent to making love between the two.Shangguan Tingzhi also thought so, but it was precisely because of this that he felt even more saddened by Sizi's disappearance.

Thinking of how happy he was with his son at the beginning, Shangguan Tingzhi felt even more sad. He even forgot the old adage that "a man does not cry lightly". He kept crying while drinking, and finally the wine and tears together Poured into the mouth, there is an indescribable bitterness mixed together.

In the end, Shangguan Tingzhi, who was overwhelmed by alcohol, fell drunk directly in the gazebo, but he kept calling out "Mingda! Mingda!"
