I am a thief in the Tang Dynasty

"Your Majesty must be involved in this."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of Cheng Yaojin and his wife changed and became solemn.

Since it concerns Your Majesty, it’s hard to say.

Du Guiru continued:

"As for your Majesty's share, Guiru suggested that you should pay it promptly and give more so that your Majesty can come forward and mediate between them and get the families to agree to pay 50% first."

"In addition, with this incident as an opportunity, the Qinghe Cui family can secretly rely on Your Majesty and obtain better development opportunities."

Seeing that Madam Cui looked a little hesitant and even unhappy, she knew that she was thinking about the Qinghe Cui family's arrogance and superiority, so she reminded her in a low voice:

"Mother, the Tang Dynasty is now thriving, the royal family's power is growing, and there are many virtuous ministers assisting us. You can imagine what the future will be like."

"If the Qinghe Cui family still thinks highly of themselves, they will most likely be ostracized and suppressed."

"You married Grandpa because your family wanted to gain a place in the court, didn't it?"

Chapter 282: The legendary female emperor Wu Zetian's father makes a brilliant appearance

The fig leaf was bluntly removed by the daughter-in-law, and Cheng Yaojin and his wife both looked unhappy.

Cheng Yaojin knew that Cui was unwilling to marry him and only regarded it as a deal.

Fortunately, the couple have lived in harmony over the years, and the original transaction has turned into love, which is really rare.

Madam Cui looked at Du Guiru deeply, then smiled, held Du Guiru's hand, patted it gently, and said with a smile:

"Gui Ru is still very insightful. Our Cheng family is so lucky to have a daughter-in-law like Gui Ru!"

"Then let's do as Guiru said, my husband. We will talk to His Majesty in a while, and then go to the Fang family as guests."

"Okay! Let's do it!" Cheng Yaojin grinned, his beard twitching.

Du Guiru took the opportunity to say:

"Gui Ru, look at that Sanlang of the Fang family and he really listens to Princess Le Kang."

"Then Guiru should continue to maintain good relations with Princess Lekang and Princess Gaoyang. Maybe they can help with the compensation when the time comes."

At present, Du Guiru's suggestion has won the approval of the Cheng couple.

Moreover, in their opinion, Du Guiru and Cheng Chubi were already husband and wife, so they were relieved and agreed readily.

Qujiang Lake is a prosperous place with flowing water.

Fang Xuanling smiled and said to a middle-aged man who was well-mannered and heroic:

"Brother Xin, I haven't seen you for three years. I miss you so much. I should drink a few more cups today."

Duke Ying, Wu Shigui, the current governor of Lizhou, whose courtesy name was Xin, was the peerless empress who became famous throughout the world decades later and left behind a legendary life. She was the father of Wu Zetian.

Upon hearing this, Wu Shigui looked at the beautiful scenery of Qujiang Lake with great emotion and said:

"Yes, after three years of separation, we should drink a few more cups."

"But don't drink too much. His Majesty is in great joy today and is hosting a Qujiang banquet. We won't discuss state affairs."

"I have to get up early tomorrow morning to report to His Majesty on the affairs of Lizhou."

"Letting those bastards live one more day is a bargain for them!"

Fang Xuanling looked at this old friend whom both the retired emperor and the current emperor valued and trusted, and who often traveled to various states in the Tang Dynasty, and he could not help but sighed:

"You are so lucky to have arrived at the Longhua Meeting."

"But since you finally came back this time, you can stay a little longer."

"You have almost cleared out the remnants of that traitor. Your Majesty has seen your achievements."

"After clearing up Lizhou, I will advise His Majesty to let you stay in Chang'an and stop traveling."

Li Xiaochang, the cousin of Emperor Taizong Li Yuan, who took office as governor of Lizhou, attempted to rebel after Li Shimin ascended the throne while attending court in Beijing. He was killed by Li Shimin.

Wu Shigui, a professional in suppressing rebellions, was sent to Lizhou, where he stayed for three years.

Wu Shigui looked at Fang Xuanling gratefully, but said firmly:

"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Xuanling, but the Tang Dynasty is in need of honest people. I will go wherever your Majesty wants me to go."

Fang Xuanling was extremely impressed by his loyalty. He crossed his arms and bowed, saying:

"Xuanling first served the Tang Dynasty and Your Majesty. Thank you, Brother Xin."

Wu Shigui hurriedly helped Fang Xuanling up and said unhappily, "Brother Xuanling, when did you learn to be like this? You should drink a penalty."

"Hahahaha, okay, I'll drink as a punishment!" Fang Xuanling laughed heartily and drank the wine in the glass.

The two chatted for a while, and then Wu Shigui asked:

"I came to Chang'an today and heard a lot about your Sanlang's deeds. I didn't expect that the little boy who was a little talented but naughty back then has now become a pillar of the country. It's really a cause for celebration."

Chapter 283 Selling His Son Secretly

Fang Xuanling smiled modestly and didn't have time to be polite.

Wu Shigui said straightforwardly: "I heard that your Fang family is now a wealthy family. You must help the people of Lizhou so that they can get rid of their suffering as soon as possible."

As the left prime minister, Fang Xuanling was well aware of the situation in Lizhou, and he also knew that there was nothing he could do if Wu Shigui came to him to ask for help.

Soon the Fang family had an income of three million strings of cash, which made them very wealthy. Wu Shigui asked for help from him on behalf of the people, so that was of course acceptable.

"Of course, no problem!" Fang Yiyi agreed decisively, then smiled mysteriously and said, "Also, I suggest you go find Xingzhi and test his background. Maybe you can get some good things that will be useful to Lizhou."

Wu Shigui looked at Fang Xuanling who had secretly sold his son, and laughed in silence, saying with amusement:

"Brother Xuanling, it feels like a long time since we last met. You have really changed a lot now."

After a pause, Wu Shigui blinked his eyes and said with a smile:

"But your temperament is much more interesting now!"

Hahahahaha!

They both laughed heartily.

Fang Yiyi, who was sold by his own father, just found a quiet river bank and sat down on a big rock.

He picked up a few pebbles and threw them into the Qujiang Pond, admiring the splashes of water.

Every once in a while, a familiar fragrance drifted into his nose.

Fang Yiyi suddenly smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "It's not over yet, one by one, it really makes me worry!" Li Lizhi walked to Fang Yiyi with her long legs, and without waiting to find a stone to sit on, she asked with concern:

"Sanlang, what's wrong with you? What did the doctor say?"

Fang Yiyi faced the concern of the beauty. Although he was worried about being discovered, he still felt warm in his heart and said softly:

"It's fine. I just haven't recovered from my illness. The doctor said I'm just a little weak."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Li Lizhi's eyes turn red, and he quickly added:

"But it's much better than when we got married. It will heal if I take some more care."

"That's good, that's good. I was so worried!" Li Lizhi breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew Fang Yiyi's concerns and said, "Don't worry, there are a lot of people here today, I will be careful and won't cause any trouble, but you must not hide from me!"

Seeing the beautiful woman's resentful eyes, Fang Yiyi's heart softened and he said, "Well, I won't hide from you."

At this point, he remembered what Bao San had told him. When he went out for the Longhua meeting today, someone had been following him. After searching for a while, he found that the other party was also following Li Lizhi. However, he had not yet figured out who this group of people were.

Fang Yiyi reminded him, "By the way, someone has been following you, and their identity has not been verified yet. Be careful."

Li Lizhi looked rich and noble in her palace dress. Her hair was covered with jewels and jadeite. Her almond-shaped eyes suddenly showed a sharp look. She said coldly:

"You dare to follow this princess, you are really courting death!"

As Li Shimin's most beloved princess, Li Lizhi was not a flower in a greenhouse, nor a naive princess who knew nothing.

Otherwise, Chang Sun Chong wouldn't have been so confused.

Fang Yiyi saw this and quickly advised, "Don't be angry yet. Everything is as usual. Wait until you find out who is watching you secretly, then we can talk about other things."

"Okay, I'll listen to Sanlang!" Li Lizhi nodded obediently.

Li Lizhi also knew that there were many people around and it would be easy for her and Fang Yiyi to be misunderstood if they were sitting alone by the river, so she kept a certain distance and asked Fang Yiyi about the wrestling match.

Chapter 284: The three-inch tongue attracts the beauties to surround

Not long after.

Zhao Xuemin also came. She heard what the two were talking about. After her foxy eyes swept over Li Lizhi, she joined the topic smoothly with her mature and steady appearance.

After a while.

Du Guiru had received orders from her parents-in-law, so she could legitimately look for Fang Yiyi to chat. After searching for a long time, she saw Fang Yiyi and immediately came over.

Hearing everyone talking about the wrestling match, the kind-hearted girl successfully joined the conversation.

The three girls usually make friends among the ladies and young ladies in Guangzhong.

From time to time, some noble ladies who were on good terms with the three women came over curiously when they saw them surrounding Fang Yiyi.

Some people want to know what they talk about.

Some wanted to take the opportunity to have more contact with Mr. Fang, the third son of the Fang family, who was extremely popular and favored by His Majesty.

After all, the third son of the Fang family married the princess as his principal wife and had not yet taken a concubine.

Fang Yiyi was delighted to see a group of noble ladies surrounding him.

When I came here, I was thinking about how to bring together this group of wealthy and free women.

This opportunity comes uninvited!

Okay, okay, now that you’re here, don’t leave. You’ll have to pay me later!

Fang Yiyi immediately used his eloquent tongue to talk about interesting stories and anecdotes from all over the world.

I could hear this group of women laughing and exclaiming continuously!

Suddenly, it attracted the attention of a group of people.

This scene made them secretly amazed and made countless people envious.

Especially Du Guiru, Li Lizhi and Zhao Xuemin.

But they are all extremely beautiful, and their beauty has its own merits.

The rest of the ladies were also quite good-looking.

At this moment, they all surrounded Fang Yiyi, asking questions all over the place, talking and laughing. How could one not be envious?

Many people said sourly:

"Humph, I don't know what's so special about Fang Yiyi that he has so many women surrounding him."

"Yeah, I'm really envious!"

"What is there to envy? Isn't it just a good mouth and a good appearance? Besides these, what else is there?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the group of princes and nobles fell silent.

Good talking and good looks, isn't that enough?

What's more, Fang Yiyi has money!

And favored by His Majesty!

A group of people are envious, jealous and hateful!

More and more people gathered around, and the original Li Lizhi, Du Guiru and Zhao Xuemin naturally got closer and closer to Fang Yiyi.

What's more, Fang Yiyi didn't even need to look up to see Zhao Xuemin, the most beautiful woman in the world, who was so close to him that he couldn't even see her feet when he lowered his head.

If you get closer, you can bite it!

"Husband, what are you talking about?" A somewhat resentful voice came from a distance.

Everyone turned around and saw Chai Xueying with jealousy written all over her face.
