Listening to King Yu's words, although I don't know the reason, Tang Junyao still felt that he seemed to have been influenced by his previous life, otherwise he would not have been able to draw a portrait of Yan Wu, and he would not have started talking to himself since he was a child. There was that strange familiarity.
King Yu also felt that what he said was unbelievable, he smiled apologetically at her, and then changed the subject: "Is Sister Yunyao here to find Sister Wuhuang? During the days you were not in the capital, Sister Wuhuang I always mention you, and now that you finally come back, Wu Huangmei is not sure how happy she is!"
Tang Junyao followed his words with a few polite words, and then they said goodbye and left.
King Yu walked a distance, but couldn't help but stop and turn around. Looking at the slender figure that was walking away, his eyes gradually became a little confused. After a while, he came back to his senses and shook his head with a smile.
Perhaps in the last life, sister Yunyao was his own sister, so he felt her kindness when he first saw her in this life.
"His Royal Highness?" Xu Tingruo saw that he stopped and stared at Tang Junyao's leaving figure in a trance, a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes, he quickly covered it up, and reminded softly.
King Yu turned his head to look at her, thinking of what Fang Cong had heard about her from Tang Junyao, and whispered, "Ting Ruo, you can change your name to Ting Wan in the future!"
Xu Tingruo was stunned and bit her lips lightly, feeling a little unhappy in her heart, but she still replied in a low voice, just glanced sharply at the direction where Tang Junyao disappeared.
It was a very honorable thing to be given a name by the master, but His Highness changed her name, but it happened after seeing that Tang Junyao, which made her have to wonder if Tang Junyao said something to His Highness.
This feeling was as if King Yu had just changed her name in order to please another woman. In addition, King Yu's attitude towards Tang Yunyao was obviously different from that of other women. Besides, he had heard earlier that Tang Yunyao was the original candidate for Princess Yu, and looking at His Highness's attitude, it was obvious that he was more inclined towards her.
What you can't get is the best. From now on, I'm afraid that Tang Junyao's position in His Highness' heart...
She clenched her hands tightly, barely suppressing the jealousy in her heart.
—
Tang Junyao was walking into the gate of the palace, when suddenly a flower appeared in front of him, a figure rushed towards her quickly, hugged her and shouted, "You're finally back, Xiao Tangtang, I thought you were not happy about it. I have completely forgotten about me in the capital!"
She smiled and patted the man's back with her backhand: "How come, it is impossible to forget His Royal Highness the Fifth Princess!"
"You have a conscience." The fifth princess hugged her and rubbed her again and again, and when she heard her words, she hummed proudly, and then let her go.
Tang Junyao saw that her complexion was quite good, and it seemed that she was not affected by the Queen's condition. She wondered if the Queen's condition had improved
In fact, if she followed the trajectory of her previous life, the queen should have died of illness before the crown prince was deposed, but in this life she has passed the previous death gate, so Tang Junyao really doesn't know how long the queen will live in this life.
The fifth princess took her to sit beside her, briefly asked her a few words about what happened on the road, and then asked bluntly, "Did Tang Huaimian come back with you?"
"Come back, the third brother came back with us." Tang Junyao replied with a smile.
The fifth princess' eyes suddenly lit up, and then she held her face in frustration, sighed again, and looked very depressed.
"What's wrong with you? Has the condition of the Empress's wife changed?"
"The mother's condition has been repeated, good and bad, although the imperial doctor dare not say it, but the father and us all know, even the mother herself is very clear, this time..."
The queen knows her physical condition very clearly, she knows that she has reached the point where she is running out of fuel, but before her death, she could see two sons who had broken her heart reconciling as before, and she has nothing to regret.
Emperor Tianxi also knew that this time she was indeed approaching the end of her life. Even if she was sad in her heart, it seemed that nothing had happened on the surface, and she was getting along with her as usual.
The same is true for the princes and princesses, who did not dare to show their grief in front of the queen. This is why Tang Junyao did not feel that the atmosphere in the palace was oppressive after entering the palace.
"Little Tangtang, I'm thinking about picking someone to marry, so as not to worry about my mother, can you tell me?" the fifth princess asked suddenly.
"What do you mean by just picking one and marrying? How can lifelong events be casual." Tang Junyao replied angrily, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Who told Tang Huaimian to always avoid me! I'm not ugly, and I have a good temperament, why does he just refuse to accept me?" As soon as he mentioned the person who avoided seeing him, the fifth princess was very happy. discouraged.
"It's not that you are bad, but because you are so good that the third brother feels that he is not worthy of you, so he has been avoiding you."
"I don't care about those." The fifth princess pouted unhappily.
"You don't care, but he does. Even the second uncle and the second aunt dare not agree."
Given the temperament of Tang Zhangnian and his wife, if their son married a princess, wouldn't he scare them to death
And as far as she knows, Lin's intention is to ask for his son's niece to be his wife, and Tang Lin's family is closer to each other, which is different from Li's desire to marry a high-level daughter-in-law for his son.
The fifth princess became even more unhappy after hearing this.
Tang Junyao said again: "If the empress is worried about your marriage, you might as well tell her what you are thinking and listen to her opinion. The empress loves you the most, and she must also wish you a happy life in the rest of your life."
The fifth princess suddenly felt a little twisted: "Actually, I have already told my mother..."
Tang Junyao suddenly realized, and smiled after thinking for a moment.
The Queen Mother knew her daughter's feelings for the third brother, but she did not stop her, and she did not force her to choose a concubine. This kind of laissez-faire is not an attitude. I'm afraid that although the empress is not satisfied with the third brother, she is also unwilling to take care of the fifth princess's thoughts, so she simply ignores it.
The fifth princess became more and more uncomfortable when she laughed. After thinking about it, she leaned in front of her with a smile: "Did Xiao Tangtang capture General Xiao He along the way?"
Tang Junyao pursed his lips and smiled, a little proud of his smile.
When the fifth princess saw it, there was nothing she didn't understand, her eyes rolled, and she asked again, "Does General Xiao He have, um, can't hold you back?"
Tang Junyao didn't answer, just looked at her and smiled.
The fifth princess immediately held her face and screamed, and Gong E, who was so frightened that she didn't know why, hurried in. She covered her mouth and waved at them, saying that she was fine and let them go out.
After the palace maids retreated, she couldn't hold back her curiosity again, and moved to Tang Yunyao's side, her pretty face flushed, her eyes sparkling, and she asked in a low voice, "Little Tang Tang, did General Xiao He kiss you? What does it feel like?"
Tang Junyao was a little shy when she asked her straightforward words, but her eyes became more and more watery, and the little pear vortex beside her cheeks flickered, and she was a little bit awkward: "That's, that's the feeling! Anyway! You don't even know that."
The fifth princess suddenly collapsed and snorted softly: "What's so amazing!"
Tang Yunyao pursed her lips and laughed more and more happily, Xiao Liwu came out deeply, and was stabbed by the Fifth Princess quickly and quickly, and the two suddenly made trouble again.
—
The day before Tang Junyu got married, even if she didn't like her anymore, Tang Junyao went to dress her up according to the ceremony.
She took the carved gold brocade box that Ruan's prepared for her, handed it to Tang Junyu, and said a few auspicious words casually.
She came neither too soon nor too late. In addition to her, there were several girls who were friends with Tang Yunyu in the room. Knowing her identity, they gathered around to talk to her intentionally or unintentionally.
Tang Junyu couldn't see their thoughts, sneered in her heart, and said unceremoniously: "I have a few private words to say to my third sister, you can do it yourself!"
The girls' faces froze, and they were quite annoyed at her ruthlessness, but they didn't dare to show it because of the occasion, so they got up and said goodbye.
Tang Junyu opened the gold-painted brocade box in his hand, and saw that there was a golden phoenix hairpin inlaid with ruby in it.
Tang Junyao didn't know what Ruan's prepared for her beforehand, but she felt a little regretful when she saw it.
It's a pity to give such a precious thing to Tang Junyu, it's better to keep it for yourself, and even if it's bad, you can give it to Lan Chun!
"However, no matter how precious the gift you gave, it can't offset the sin of your ruining my life, Tang Junyao, I hate you, it's you who ruined everything for me, it's you!" At this point, she ruthlessly put The phoenix hairpin in his hand fell to the ground, his eyes were gloomy, and his face was full of hideous hatred.
Tang Junyao smiled when she saw this, and she flicked her cuffs with ease, turning a blind eye to her hatred: "I have never seen such a confounding and shameless person like the second sister. Isn't it your own fault for your fate now? "
"Or is it that you are the only one who counts others, but you are not allowed to fight back? Tang Yunyu, I thought you were a bit smart, but I never thought I overestimated you."
"Sisters have been together for more than ten years. Do you think I'm the kind of person who will suffer from dumb losses? Since you started thinking about me, you should have thought about the consequences you will face."
"I can eat everything, but I can't take any losses! If you want to take revenge, just let the horse come over, I'll just wait."
After he finished speaking, he gave her a contemptuous look, raised his voice to call Lan Chun outside the house, and asked her to pick up the phoenix hairpin on the ground: "Take it back and invite someone to Rong, ring the bell again, and I will hang it on the ground. Watchdog's neck."
"Okay!" Lan Chun didn't know why, so he just picked up the broken phoenix hairpin obediently.
"You!" Tang Yunyu's face was twisted with anger, her cannibal eyes stared at her, but she was too afraid to go forward, and she could only watch the arrogant master fluttering forward. go.
Today was really a good day. Tang Yunyao, who had just walked out of the door with Lan Chun, saw Tang Yunrou, the concubine of the King of Letters, surrounded by people.
Tang Junrou also saw her, her footsteps stagnated, and she greeted her with a smile: "Third sister. Is the third sister going back?"
Tang Junyao saw her smug look on her face, but Li Shi, who was standing not far behind her, looked rather ugly.
But it's no wonder that the prostitute, who has always allowed herself to be rounded and flattened, flew up the branches and had to marry a high-ranking family. But her own daughter was forced to marry an incompetent dude, and Li Shi was naturally uncomfortable.
Especially Tang Junrou, who was only a low-level concubine before, became a concubine within a few months of entering the Xinwang Mansion, and her identity suddenly changed dramatically. She even brought her biological mother, Aunt Ying, to the Tang Mansion. He also straightened his back.
What made her even more aggrieved was her eldest son Tang Huaixing. Not only did she ignore her discomfort at all, but she also asked her to treat Aunt Ying well in the future, and she could no longer look at Tang Yunrou's face, let alone let Tang Yunyu go. Disrespectful to the elder sister!
Not to mention Tang Bainian, who is now Tang Junrou's loving father, who is just obedient to her.
The so-called 30 years of Hedong and 30 years of Hexi, Li Shi really never dreamed that one day Aunt Ying and her daughter would climb on her head, and her husband and son would also be won over by the other party.
Tang Yunyao didn't like Tang Yunyu, nor did she like Tang Yunrou. Seeing the smile on her face like a villain, as well as her undisguised disgust and rejection of Li, she couldn't help thinking. laugh.
If he is so arrogant, he is so arrogant that he doesn't even bother to do superficial work. Such idiots will definitely not survive three chapters in the words of a layman!
She politely exchanged a few words with Tang Junrou, and then left on the pretext of having an appointment with the Fifth Princess.
Tang Junrou knew that she should go with her, and she took the opportunity to draw closer to her sisterhood on the road, and it was also convenient for her to walk with Tang Songnian's family in the future, but at this moment, seeing Li Shi's aggrieved appearance, she felt a burst of anger in her heart. Happy, I can't bear to leave first.
When Tang Junyao returned to the mansion, he heard that Tang Huaimian from the mansion was called to the study by Tang Songnian, and when he asked, he understood that this was Tang Songnian who was worried about his nephew's studies, and was determined to study the autumn season.
Tang Songnian had only Tang Huaizhou as a son, but he did nothing but think for the sake of the Tang family. He also paid close attention to the studies of several nephews, and would make some points from time to time.
However, because Tang Bainian and Tang Huaixing not only did not appreciate it at all in the early years, they thought he was uneasy and kind, for fear that the limelight of the third room would be overshadowed by the big room, which would make Tang Songnian angry for a long time. From then on, he no longer thought about the big room. .
On the contrary, since Tang Huaimian and Tang Huaizhou have been getting closer in recent years, Tang Songnian has paid more attention to him, and because he has returned to his hometown several times and failed the exam, he has naturally become more interested in his studies.
Tang Huaimian was not interested in fame and fortune, and most of the time he dealt with Tang Zhangnian in his studies, but his perfunctory methods to deal with Tang Zhangnian didn't work at all in front of Tang Songnian. , He was so ashamed that he just wanted to find a hole to burrow in, and since then he has restrained a lot and honestly began to prepare for the upcoming township exam.
Today, he came to look for Tang Huaizhou only after seeing that Tang Songnian was not at home. Who would have thought that Tang Songnian, who was killed with a carbine, would be arrested and then taken to the study by him for a thorough examination.
However, he, who is in a lot of misery at the moment, never imagined that he would be taken to the Shangshu Mansion by his own father the next day, so that he could study hard in the Shangshu Mansion with Tang Huaizhou as his companion, and make sure to pass the township exam in one fell swoop this time. Had an addiction.
Tang Huaimian came out of Tang Songnian's study with his head bowed and sighed. He was indeed hit hard this time. He looked at him slack, like an eggplant that had been beaten by frost.
"Puchi" laughter rang in his ears, he looked up and saw his little cousin Tang Junyao was looking at him with a schadenfreude, and suddenly complained: "Third sister..."
"Sorry, sorry, I couldn't help laughing in front of the third brother for a while. Next time, I will remember to snicker behind my back." Tang Junyao apologized insincerely, but the smile on his face became brighter.
Tang Huaimian glanced at her with resentful eyes. Sure enough, in the third uncle's family, only the third aunt is white, and the other three are black, black, black!
"Okay, okay, I won't make fun of you. Third brother, I'm here to tell you good news." Tang Junyao said with a smile.
"What good news?" Tang Huaimian suddenly became interested, he liked to hear good news the most.
"In the future, you don't have to avoid the Fifth Princess, she will soon follow the Queen's arrangement and choose a concubine, and she will get married soon." She smiled genuinely.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that the smile on Tang Huaimian's face froze, and the usual carefree expression was replaced by bitterness and complexity.
"Really? That's really a happy event, and it's time for her to get married..." He forced a smile and said dryly.
"Third brother, your smile is so ugly, your whole face looks like a bitter gourd!" Tang Junyao pierced him rudely.
Tang Huaimian finally couldn't hold back the smile he finally pulled out.
He returned home in a daze, and the servant who had been waiting for him asked strangely, "Young Master, didn't you say you wanted to give bonuses to the fourth son and the third girl? Why did you bring it back?"
He looked down at the brocade box he was holding, and suddenly woke up like a dream.
"Forget it, I'll deliver it another day!" He put the brocade box aside and fell on the bed with his hands on his back.
Is that girl getting married? Will you never bother yourself again? It should be a good thing, he finally doesn't have to hide from her, but why is he not happy at all
Not only unhappy, but even a little blocked, a little boring. In the future, he shouldn't be able to find a girl like her again!
Why is she a princess? Still the most favored princess, if she was just a girl from an ordinary family, he would definitely…
The next day, when Tang Junyao saw Tang Huaimian who had been sent to the house by Tang Zhangnian, he always felt that he was a little different. The whole person seemed to have grown a lot overnight, and his eyes were rare and firm.
What surprised her even more was that from this day on, he really devoted himself to preparing for the exam, and that concentration was rare in his life.
"The third brother didn't know what was the stimulus. He studied hard, woke up earlier than a chicken, and slept later than a dog, so he almost didn't have a thorn in his head. It made me want to be a little lazy. I'm sorry." Tang Huaizhou secretly complained to her.
Originally, according to the original plan, he should be studying abroad at the moment, but because of the delay of the trip to the Chaoyun Temple last time, coupled with the experience of his sister's previous life, he felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was much heavier. After paying more attention to national affairs, I wanted to learn more, watch and listen more by my father's side.
Tang Songnian rarely followed him.
Tang Junyao could vaguely guess the reason for Tang Huaimian's change, thinking that he was stimulated by the words that the five princesses were going to marry.
Maybe this third brother of hers is going to fight for one, and he will mention his own conditions first. At any rate, he will be able to straighten his waist again.
In fact, Tang Huai really thought so.
That girl is a princess, no matter who marries her, she is a high-profile person, and there is no one in the world who is right in line with her. Since everyone is the same high climb, why can't he fight for it
Less than half a month after Tang Junyu got married, it was the time for Prince Yu to marry his concubine, while Ji Yuan died three days after his niece married into Prince Yu's mansion.
Emperor Tianxi lost his loyal ministers and friends, and was so grief-stricken that he almost fainted in the courtroom. What made him even more uncomfortable was that less than a month after Ji Yuan's death, the Queen's condition suddenly worsened, but this time it was too much to recover, and finally he couldn't open his eyes again.
Liang Xiang and Fa's wife left one after another, and Emperor Tianxi was hit hard and fell seriously ill.
The courtiers had long been mentally prepared for the death of the Empress and Ji Yuan, and when all matters were being carried out in an orderly manner after their death, only the Emperor's illness caught them off guard.
The burden on Tang Songnian's shoulders was naturally heavier. Although Emperor Tianxi had not yet issued an decree, everyone knew that he was the next prime minister of Daqi who succeeded Ji Yuan.
Tang Songnian was busy with the stars and the moon, and it was not until seven days later that Emperor Tianxi's condition improved that he could breathe a sigh of relief. At this time, Tang Junyao's fifteenth birthday came.
The fifteen-year-old woman and her wedding ceremonies were due to meet the national mourning period, and Tang Songnian and Nguyen were unwilling to keep everything simple, so they decided to postpone the wedding ceremony until after the national mourning.
Tang Junyao actually didn't care about these ceremonies. In her last life, she didn't even know her real birthday, and naturally no one worried about her.
On this day, the Tang Shangshu Mansion welcomed He Shaoting, a loyal and brave general who was about to go to Dongdi.
"What did you say? Do you want to marry Baoya?" Tang Songnian frowned, his face was really not very good-looking, and his eyes were like torches, staring at He Shaoting.
Facing his gaze, He Shaoting summoned up his courage and said, "Yes, please do your best. I will spend the rest of my life doing my best to treat her well, and only her."
Tang Songnian sneered and said unceremoniously: "You are about to go on an expedition, but you came to beg my daughter to marry me. You have no eyes on the battlefield. If you have an emergency, would it be possible that you still want my daughter to watch over the widow for you? "
"No." He Shaoting shook his head, put a big brocade box he brought over on the table, pushed it gently in his direction, and said slowly, "This is all the property of General Zhongyong's Mansion. I can't come back alive, these are my makeup for Baoya."
Tang Songnian was stunned for a rare moment, and then listened to him continue, "I'm begging for a kiss because I want to get the permission of the adults and my wife, and give me two years. If I can return safely within two years, please betroth Baoya to me. If not, these are the dowries I prepared for her in the name of my brother."
