Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 123 Accidents in the palace

In the Hall of Liangyi, Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu sat side by side. Although they were talking to each other in low voices, their eyes glanced at the door of the hall from time to time, as if expecting something. Both of them had smiles on their faces. The difference is that Gaozong obviously felt joy from the bottom of his heart, while Empress Wu's smile was somewhat unnatural.

"Reporting to Your Majesty and Empress, Siwei Shaoqing, Yang Sijian, father and daughter have arrived outside the palace."

While Gaozong and his wife were whispering, Gao Hesheng, the eunuch in charge of ceremonies, walked quickly from the outside of the hall to the lower front, bowed, and rushed to report.

"Okay, come here, hurry up, hurry up and announce."

Gaozong was very happy when he heard the words, and urged him repeatedly, as if he couldn't wait.

"Yes, the slaves obey the order."

Seeing Longyan Joy, Gao Hesheng dared not neglect, he responded respectfully, and trotted all the way out of the hall, and after a while, he accompanied a father and daughter in from outside the hall door, the middle-aged man was a burly man Strong and strong, the court uniform of a fourth-rank military officer is brand new and shiny, and she looks extremely energetic. The woman lowered her head and couldn't see her face clearly, but her figure was extremely tall but plump. The two long water sleeves move lightly in lotus steps during walking, which is extraordinarily graceful and charming.

"Wei Chen Siwei Shaoqing Yang Sijian kowtows to His Majesty and the Empress."

Yang Sijian, as Siwei Shaoqing, has always been in charge of the imperial guards and often accompanied him. He is one of Gaozong's favorite generals, and he is very familiar with the ceremony of audience. On the dragon bed, she didn't dare to be negligent, rushed forward in a hurry, and paid homage full of spirit. When her daughter Yang Lingyu saw that her father had prostrated herself on the ground, she panicked a little, followed in a hurry and took a deep breath. Fu, bowed his head and said nothing.

"Yang Aiqing doesn't need to be too polite, come on, let's make peace."

Seeing that the father and daughter of the Yang family were very respectful, Gao Zong clapped his hands happily, then raised his hand in a vain manner, and gave a very gentle command.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En."

Yang Sijian was obviously very excited, his dark face flushed brightly, he thanked him with great enthusiasm, but he didn't dare to stand up straight, bowed his waist, and stood respectfully in the hall.

"Well, Yang Aiqing, is this my unmarried daughter-in-law?"

Gao Zong looked at Yang Lingyu, who was being held by Wu Zifu, with a smile on his eyes, stroked the long beard on his chest, and asked with a smile.

"It's the little girl, Yu'er, why don't you rush to pay your respects to His Majesty and Empress."

Yang Sijian bowed to answer, and then falsely reprimanded Yang Lingyu.

"Little girl Yang Lingyu greets His Majesty and Empress Dowager."

Yang Lingyu lowered her head, lowered her waist slightly, and timidly greeted her. Although her voice was not loud, it was extremely pleasant to listen to.

"Okay, okay, come on, look up."

Gao Zong waved his hands with a smile, signaling Yang Lingyu to stand up and look up.

"Little girl, I would like to obey the holy edict."

Yang Lingyu thanked her very respectfully, got up gracefully, and raised her head shyly, revealing a pretty face full of blush—a pair of big crystal black eyes under the faint Liu Yue eyebrows, straight The small cherry under the bridge of the nose is fresh and tender, and the white jade-like melon seeds can't find a trace of blemish on the face. Coupled with the tall and plump figure, it really deserves the title of stunning beauty in the world.

"Okay, okay, this is my Honger's perfect match, Yang Aiqing gave birth to a good daughter, I will have a good life, thank you Aiqing." Gaozong was obviously very satisfied with Yang Lingyu's appearance and behavior, he laughed and praised Yang Sijian some.

"Your Majesty Long En, I am very grateful. It is her blessing that my daughter can marry into the heavenly family. I am very fortunate." Yang Sijian was very excited to be so favored by Emperor Gaozong, and thanked him in a hurry. The room was filled with unconcealable joy.

"Yang Aiqing, today I invite Aiqing's father and daughter to come here just for one thing. Qin Tianjian Lin Taishi has counted an auspicious day, and it will be the first day of next month, and Hong'er is not young. Both my palace and His Majesty think that this matter is still early. It's good to do it, I wonder what Yang Aiqing wants?" Just as Yang Sijian finished speaking, Empress Wu, who had been smiling and silent all the time, suddenly smiled and interjected.

"My minister has no objection, everything is up to His Majesty and Empress Dowager."

Although this marriage has already been decided long ago, if the ceremony is not completed in a day, there may be accidents. To be honest, these days, Yang Sijian has been worrying about this matter a lot, and what he is afraid of is accidents in the marriage. At this time, when he heard what Empress Wu said, there was no reason for his reluctance, so he quickly knelt down and agreed loudly.

"Well, that's good, let's discuss the details today." Empress Wu nodded with a smile, as if she was very satisfied with Yang Sijian's attitude, and then she clapped her hands lightly and said: "Come on, please come to the harem for a while rest."

"The slaves obey the order."

After Empress Wu opened her mouth, the maids who accompanied her didn't dare to be negligent, and they all bowed their promises, and led the shy Yang Lingyu to the apse... The imperial palace is the most magnificent in the world Even if it's just a simple living room, there is a sense of wealth everywhere, even Yang Lingyu is from a wealthy family, but since entering the palace, she has been overwhelmed by the magnificence of the palace. Feeling dizzy, even though he has been placed in the living room of Fengyi Hall, his heart is still beating violently, nervous, excited, worried, and even slightly fearful. After sitting down, she didn't even dare to move a little bit, her eyes were full of confusion and she didn't have a clue, until a burst of applause sounded, which woke Yang Lingyu out of her complicated thoughts. A handsome young man was standing in the living room at some point, he was startled, stood up hurriedly, looked at him with doubts on his face, and didn't know for a moment whether he should ask him or not.

"The servant waited to see the young master."

Before Yang Lingyu figured out what was going on, she saw a kind of court ladies waiting in the room bowing and saluting in unison to say hello. Only then did Yang Lingyu realize that the person who came was the most beautiful man in Chang'an, He He. Lan Minzhi couldn't help feeling a little curious, and looked at the other party with big eyes without blinking.

"Back down, you all back down!"

He Lanminzhi didn't pay any attention to the greetings from the maids at all, waved his hands impatiently, and yelled at all the maids to leave the room.

"Yes, slaves obey."

He Lanminzhi has always been used to being arrogant in the palace, and no one dared to provoke her. Although the ladies in the palace knew that this was wrong, none of them dared to say "no" and left as promised.

"Little lady, don't go."

Yang Lingyu saw that all the court ladies had left, she panicked, turned around and wanted to leave, but unexpectedly she had just taken a step when He Lanminzhi stopped her.

"Young master, please respect yourself, little girl..."

Yang Lingyu took a step back in a panic, trying to distance herself from He Lanmin, blushing and wanted to explain, but never thought that He Lanmin would suddenly dodge, and she was already in front of Yang Lingyu, stretching out her left hand With a sweep, Shengsheng hugged Yang Lingyu into his arms, picked up the folding fan in his right hand, lifted Yang Lingyu's chin, and teased with a wicked smile: "What a beautiful girl, hey, marry that Li Hong How much fun can a sick man have, come on, call your lord to come and listen to my young master."

"Young master, you, you..." Yang Lingyu is a lady of the family, and she has never been so close to a man. At this time, being hugged so tightly by He Lanmin, she was frightened and trembling, not knowing what to do.

"Hey, don't call me now, I'll be on the couch later, if you call me, come on, I'll let the young master love you so much!" He Lanminzhi didn't care how flustered Yang Lingyu was, and threw the folding fan back in his hand, With a push of his big hand, but hearing a "hiss", the light green wrinkled skirt on Yang Lingyu's body was torn into two pieces. Poor Yang Lingyu hadn't let out a cry of surprise, but her mouth was already sucked by He Lanmin. Yang Lingyu went limp in an instant, drowsy, only being tossed about by He Lanminzhi at will... In the Hall of Two Forms, the marriage ceremony is still being discussed, and Gao Zong is generally speaking with great interest. He responded honestly, and Empress Wu occasionally inserted a sentence. Although the atmosphere of the discussion was not lively, it was still harmonious. But at this moment, a palace lady ran into the palace in a panic. Zhang Huangyang instantly aroused Empress Wu's suspicion.

"Your Majesty, empress, the young master has gone to Miss Yang's resting place." When the maid who came to report the news saw Empress Wu's gloomy gaze, she was so frightened that she fell to her knees on the ground. Hurry to report.

"Huh?" Gao Zong frowned when he heard that He Lan Minzhi had gone to Yang Lingyu's resting place, glanced at Empress Wu displeasedly, and snorted coldly, but did not express anything else—the forbidden area of ​​the harem, Even if the princes wanted to enter the harem, they had to ask for an order first, but He Lanminzhi was an exception, because Empress Wu granted him the right to freely enter and leave the harem. Although Gaozong didn't like it, it was because of his dead mother and sister For the sake of it, he acquiesced to the matter. At this time, listening to him harassing the princess who has not been married, how could Gaozong have a good look, but because of Empress Wu's face, he couldn't get angry, so he could only express it with his eyes. dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. The concubine will come back after going to have a look."

Empress Wu saw that Gaozong was displeased, so she couldn't sit still anymore, so she stood up with a smile, and said softly, and after Gaozong nodded, she led the people to the Fengyi Hall go.

"Your Majesty, young master, he, he..."

Empress Wu led the people all the way to Fengyi Palace, and dozens of maids and eunuchs standing outside the palace hurriedly knelt down, and the leading maid kowtowed and stammered, trying to report the incident I understand, but what happened inside is really too obscene, the maid was so anxious that her head was sweating, but she still couldn't say it out.

"Yan Desheng!"

Empress Wu is such a shrewd person, she didn't need the court lady to tell her clearly, just by looking at her face, she knew what was going on inside, her face immediately became cloudy, and after her eyes changed a few times, she bit her lip and gave a low drink .

"The servant is here!"

Yan Desheng, who was waiting at the side, heard Empress Wu's roll call, and he didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly stood up from the side, bowed and promised.

"Take down all these trash!"

Empress Wu sullenly cast a murderous look in her eyes, and ordered in a cold voice.

"promise!"

Yan Desheng was originally a good hand at doing dirty work for Empress Wu, and he was addicted to killing by nature. At this time, he was very excited when he heard Empress Wu gave the order. After answering, he waved his hand, and the eunuchs who followed followed him He rushed forward and captured all the panic-stricken members of Fengyi Palace. In an instant, there were cries of grievances and exclamations...
