Li Rong slept in the Princess Mansion all night, and the next morning, she received a call from the palace.
She was already prepared. As soon as the people in the palace came, she followed the attendant into the palace. She knew in her heart that yesterday she forcibly disturbed the situation between Concubine Rou and the Queen. This matter could not be so simple and good.
She was thinking about how to deal with the Queen's questioning on the way, and soon she arrived at the palace. As soon as she entered the Weiyang Palace, she saw Li Chuan kneeling on the ground, the Queen sitting on the high seat, clutching her forehead, and seemed to have a headache again. Everyone in the hall had already withdrawn, so the mother and son were left to sit and kneel in the center of the hall. Li Rong smiled after entering, and looked at the two of them and said, "What are you doing, that's what I did last time I came here, It's still like this this time, and you quarreled again?"
"How dare you say that?!" Shangguan Yue heard Li Rong's voice and shouted, "Kneel down!"
If Li Rong was young, she would have panicked when she heard Shangguanyue's anger like this, but fortunately she was already in her fifties, so she knelt down calmly and said with a smile, "What's wrong with my mother today, she is so big fire?"
Shangguan Yue listened to Li Rong pretending that she didn't understand anything. She raised her head with cold eyes and stared at Li Rong: "You and my mother, do you need to be so hypocritical?"
Li Rong looked at Shangguan Yue's cold expression, and her smile disappeared.
"What did you mean last night?"
"When I asked the queen mother," Li Rong said calmly, "what does the queen mother mean?"
"Bengong's meaning is very clear!" Shangguan Yue shouted loudly, "Bengong wants Shangguan Ya to be the crown princess! Originally, I told Chuan'er to choose Ya'er's incense, why are you messing around here? He is the prince!" Shangguan Yue raised his finger to Li Chuan, stared at Li Rong and shouted angrily, "He's making a fool of yourself, are you making a fool of yourself too?!"
"It's Erchen's fault," Li Chuan heard Shangguan Yue's scolding, and immediately kowtowed to the ground, saying hurriedly, "It's nothing to do with my elder sister, Erchen said, it was Erchen who asked my elder sister to help me, and I asked my mother to calm down."
Li Rong understood that it was Li Chuan who took all the responsibilities and said that he asked her to do what happened last night.
Shangguan Yue was so angry that she stood up and walked back and forth on the high platform, scolding as she walked: "What a good opportunity last night, let you waste it like this! Are you crazy or stupid? Your father The emperor has been pressing down on your marriage with Aya. We were all ready last night. As long as you choose Aya's sandalwood, your uncle will bring someone out to force an imperial decree on the spot. What do you choose your sister for? Do you know how much effort it takes to get another chance like this?!"
"It's a son or not, please calm your anger." Li Chuan repeated numbly, kneeling on the ground without getting up.
Li Rong watched Shangguan Yue get angry at the top, and an unspeakable humiliation surged up in her heart. Even if this person was her mother, she didn't know why. When she saw Li Chuan kneeling so quietly listening to the training, she felt pitiful and pathetic.
"What the hell are you thinking? You refuse to cooperate with the Yang family, that's all, now even the Shangguan family, are you going to abandon it?! Family marriage is such a big deal, if you don't marry Ya'er, what will your uncle do? trust you?"
"If he doesn't marry a woman, won't he trust him?"
Li Rong suddenly made a sound, and Shangguan Yue and Li Chuan were both stunned. Li Chuan raised his head, looked at Li Rong blankly, and said in surprise, "Sister?"
"What's wrong with Chuan'er?" Li Rong said calmly, looking at Shangguan Yue, "Shangguan's family is already the empress of the three dynasties, don't you know where the conflict between the father and us now comes from?!"
"So we have to be tied together!" Shangguan Yue leaned forward and stared at Li Rong, "Do you think Chuan'er still has a way out? He is a child of Shangguan's family, and he is destined to have no way out."
"Since we're so tied up and we have to rely on the Shangguan family, what's not to worry about, uncle? What's the value of bringing them together to marry? What's the point?"
This sentence stunned Shangguan Yue. Li Rong looked at her and said calmly, "Empress mother, we all know that what my uncle wants is not the crown prince, but the queen. It's the half of the Li family's bloodline, half of them are reserved. The blood of the Shangguan family. You are already the present of the Shangguan family, and what my uncle wants from Chuan’er is the future.”
"But this is the Li family's world," Li Rong looked at Shangguan Yue seriously, "Shangguan's family, it's time to retire."
"What did you say?" Shangguan Yue looked at Li Rong in disbelief, "Do you say it again?"
"I said," Li Rong raised her voice, "If the Shangguan family still wants to do well, it should be retired!"
The audience suddenly fell silent, Shangguan Yue stared blankly at Li Rong, Li Rong stood up with a calm expression: "When the water overflows, it is full, and the prosperity must decline."
She looked at Shangguanyue with a calm expression: "Empress mother, the royal father cannot tolerate Shangguanya becoming Chuan'er's crown prince, once Shangguanya becomes Chuan'er's crown prince, the father will never let Chuaner ascend the throne. He can't tolerate it, The next emperor, and a queen of the Shangguan family."
"Let the Shangguan family gradually withdraw from the imperial city, Queen Mother," Li Rong whispered, "This is good for everyone."
Shangguan Yue stood blankly on the high platform, Li Rong turned to look at Li Chuan, and said lightly, "Get up, let's go."
Li Chuan glanced at Shangguan Yue, and seeing his hesitant appearance, Li Rong shouted, "Get up!"
Li Chuan got drunk by Li Rong, and got up in a hurry. Li Rong nodded slightly towards Shangguan Yue, and then said, "Mother, let's step back first."
After speaking, Li Rong led Li Chuan out.
After leaving the Weiyang Palace, Li Chuan was still a little unable to recover. After walking a long way, Li Chuan suddenly reacted and said excitedly: "Sister, you were too powerful just now!"
Li Rong glared at him and hit him on the head with a fan: "No promise."
Li Chuan was beaten on the head, but he was still very happy. He chased after Li Rong, and although he had tried his best to restrain himself, he could still hear the excitement in his emotions: "I really didn't expect you to say that, I always thought that Sister also thinks that I am thinking wrong, and will help my mother to persuade me later."
Li Rong and Li Chuan strolled into the imperial garden. She listened to Li Chuan's words and looked a little dazed.
In fact, in the last life, Li Chuan was indeed persuaded by her to marry Shangguanya and his four concubines.
At that time, she felt that Li Chuan was willful, but now that she thinks about it, she feels that she is naive.
No one is willing to help out just because of a simple marriage.
The goodness of Qin and Jin was originally just that Qin and Jin had each other's own misconceptions. When there is a conflict of interests, what is a woman
Whether or not Li Chuan marry the Shangguan family, as long as the core interests are the same, the Shangguan family will definitely be tied to Li Chuan.
For Li Chuan, marrying the Shangguan family has all the harm and no benefit.
It was only when the Shangguan clan bullied them that they were young and threatened not to support Li Chuan. At that time, she had not yet seen the true intentions of all parties in the entire court, so she was controlled by others.
Her thoughts wandered all the way, and Li Chuan was talking about the specific situation of last night. After talking for a while, he opened his mouth carefully: "Sister, why are you suddenly helping me?"
"Didn't I help you all the time?"
"It's not this kind of help," Li Chuan said after thinking for a while, "that's right, you seem to suddenly know what I'm thinking about. You definitely wouldn't help me with this before, and you must follow my mother to trouble me. ."
"I asked you to trouble you, and you accepted it?"
When Li Chuan heard this, he didn't say anything. Seeing his mute, Li Rong turned his head and saw Li Chuan lowered his head, as if feeling a little guilty.
"Why didn't you speak?"
"Actually, it's my willfulness," Li Chuan said with a wry smile, "You didn't choose the person you married yourself, so why do I want this privilege? Forget it, don't say it, I'll be very happy if you can help me. Now, find another day, and I invite you to dinner?"
Li Rong lowered her head and smiled when she heard this. They stopped in front of the water pavilion, Li Rong thought for a while, and then said slowly, "Chuan'er, in fact, you are not willful, you are just not strong enough."
Li Chuan turned to look at Li Rong, and Li Rong said calmly: "Only when you are strong enough, you have the right to choose. You have the right to choose. I will always support it, but the premise is that you have the ability."
"So," Li Chuan stared at Li Rong, "if I have the ability to do this and not hurt people who shouldn't be hurt, then my sister doesn't think I'm wrong, right?"
"As long as you think you're right," Li Rong looked away from the meeting and looked at Li Chuan, she laughed, "Even if I think you're wrong, it doesn't matter. Because I'm not always right."
"Then what if my thoughts are different from yours?" Li Chuan asked seriously, with a little panic in his eyes.
Li Rong looked at the young man in front of her. From him, she could vaguely see the shadow of Li Chuan in the future.
She suddenly realized that Li Chuan in those days was struggling to walk on a lonely road.
His father hated him, his mother took advantage of him, and his sister stood on both sides of him, never supporting him, much less understanding him.
Li Rong watched him quietly, and after a long time, she said slowly, "Even if one day, you and I think differently, you are still my brother."
"I will never give you up."
When Li Chuan listened to Li Rong's words, he didn't know what to do, and his eyes were red.
He noticed his gaffe, lowered his head and smiled, as if he was a little embarrassed, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry, sister, I'm a little... I'm a little... I think you are too good to protect you," Li Chuan paused for a long time. After that, he said, "I'm sorry."
As a teenager, he was worried about Li Rong and his relatives, and he wanted to pacify the Quartet in the future. But before he was a teenager, his sister was forced to marry someone who didn't love each other.
Li Rong heard the guilt in Li Chuan's words, she was stunned, and after a while, she hesitated: "Actually... Pei Wenxuan, it's pretty good too."
"You don't have to worry about me," Li Rong laughed, "I can marry well."
Li Chuan laughed out loud: "I feel it."
Li Rong raised her eyebrows: "Huh?"
"I think after you got married," Li Chuan looked up at her, "and laughed more and more."
Li Rong was a little stunned, but at this moment, the attendant rushed over from Xiaodao and said respectfully: "Your Highness Princess, the concubine is waiting at the door, said to pick up people."
"Is he annoying!" Li Chuan immediately said, "Won't I send my sister back? Let him go!"
"Your Highness," Pei Wenxuan's voice sounded from not far away, "Your Highness is busy with business, so don't bother Your Highness."
"Aren't you busy? Are you busy? You talk to Gu, the only thing is for you to do!"
Li Rong couldn't help laughing when she heard Li Chuan's scolding. Pei Wenxuan laughed without saying a word, turned to look at Li Rong, and explained, "I just went to court, and I heard that you were in the palace, so I wanted to take you back with me."
"Okay," Li Rong nodded, then turned to talk to Li Chuan, "Let's go first, you can deliver it next time."
"Sister, let me know when you are free," Li Chuan said quickly, "I'll invite you to eat out."
Li Rong waved her back to him: "Any time."
The two walked out of the palace gate together. Li Chuan looked at the backs of the two. After a long time, he couldn't help but laugh.
At this time, in the Weiyang Palace, Shangguan Yue was also crying.
She regained her senses, and the maid Cuiyu who served her whispered: "Don't be too sad, the princess and the prince are now grown up, just at the age of young and vigorous, don't worry about them, wait for them in the future. I know your hard work."
"That's all for Rong'er," Shangguan Yue cried, "she is married after all, and has nothing to do with the palace, but Chuan'er looks like this, what do you want me and my brother to say?"
"Niangniang, don't think too much, His Royal Highness has always been filial, and suddenly he is so rebellious, there must be his reasons."
This remark woke Shangguan Yue, and she reacted abruptly: "Why does he resist marriage so much? Does he have someone in his heart?"
Cuiyu served tea from the side and respectfully said, "Your Highness is not too young, and it is common for people around me to be miserable. It is not impossible to be bewitched by others."
Shangguan Yue pondered for a while, and after a while, she immediately said: "Let's go and find out if there are any suspicious women around the prince recently. He has been there, what he has done, who he has met, and let everyone around him report it to me. !"
