Shen Zhenzhen found her father, and she said frankly and honestly: "Dad, I am not Princess Qi. I have no right to make any concubine decision for His Highness. If I propose it in a hurry, Your Highness will definitely not agree. I can only use other methods." To make this marriage successful."
Shen Yizhi also knew that his daughter was telling the truth, so he asked slightly: "Then what can you do?"
"I will take His Highness's boat back to Chang'an as an excuse, and then take Ali with me. Let them get along day and night, and as time goes by, they will fall in love, and things will be easier to handle."
Shen Yizhi pondered for a moment, this was a good idea. He looked at his daughter and said, "Then your presence is a bit embarrassing, isn't it?"
Shen Pearl said coldly: "Father, you said you would not interfere in my private affairs."
"Okay then! Do you want Li'er and I to talk first?"
"I will find an opportunity to talk to her. Haste makes waste in this matter."
Shen Li is the girl in the red dress. She is only seventeen years old this year. She is very beautiful and has a radiant look. She has a bit of the alluring beauty of a Jiangnan woman.
Gu Tong, the second son of the Gu family in Gusu, met Shen Li at a party every two months. He was immediately shocked and begged the head of the family to propose to him.
Shen Yizhi also felt that this marriage was a match, and the Gu family in Gusu was also from a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River, so he considered agreeing to it the next time they meet again.
But yesterday Shen Yi heard his nephew Shen Yu say that Li Ye looked at Shen Li very eagerly, and he suddenly realized that he had almost made a big mistake.
How could my granddaughter marry into a local aristocratic family? She is one of the most beautiful women in the world.
From ancient times to the present, there are rules for treasures, tributes or women, which must be distributed according to status. The most precious treasures and the most beautiful women must be presented to the king. If they are hidden and not presented, they will surely die.
If a beauty from the Yue Kingdom is not presented to him by local officials but marries Zhang San and Li Si, if he becomes famous in the future and Fu Chai hears that there is a peerless beauty in the Yue Kingdom and Gou Jian does not dedicate it to him, Fu Chai will definitely be furious. There is no use pretending to be a grandson, he will definitely be killed, and the man who marries Xi Tzu will also be killed.
So after Gou Jian came back from Wu, he immediately sent people around to find out if there were any peerless beauties in his country. He had to find them and offer them to Fu Chai, lest Fu Chai would get angry and kill him in the future. This was actually to save his life, not a beauty trap. .
In the same way, the painter Mao Yanshou felt unhappy because he could not extort a few small sums of money, so he put a few pockmarks on Wang Zhaojun's face. In fact, he hid Wang Zhaojun. After the incident was revealed, he was killed.
Lu Bu accepted Diao Chan, but she was not of a high level, and she died in Baimen Tower. Diao Chan was acquired by Cao Cao. Although the ending of Diao Chan was not written in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", you have to understand that Cao Cao, who was thinking about Big and Little Qiao all day long, would not pay attention to the so-called "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Diao Chan in the closed moon?
The longevity king Li Mao married the young Yang Yuhuan, but he was not qualified enough and could not afford the beauties in the world, so he was robbed of his love by the emperor Li Longji. From then on, Li Mao never had any important use and died in depression.
That's why the Book of Changes says that "virtue carries things". What is virtue? Virtue is etiquette, it is grade, what things are, it can be said to be wealth. To put it simply, it means what kind of grade, one can only enjoy the wealth of the corresponding grade. A junior official at the department level actually embezzled tens of millions, how could he not capsize?
So those Run people who take hundreds of millions abroad don't even think about what kind of life they will live in the West. If they don't have enough power levels and cannot keep their wealth, a small Chinese underworld will kill them.
The same goes for women. Peerless beauty can only be enjoyed by those in power.
The ancients competed for the world. To put it bluntly, they competed for dominance and distribution rights, which is no different from animals competing for the leader of the group.
Who was Shen Zhenzhen? She was also a famous beauty in the Middle Tang Dynasty in later generations. As a time traveler, how could Li Ye not miss her? Once he had enough power, he came to the Shen family in Jiangnan.
Some things are very cruel and cannot be written clearly. For example, why did Shen Zhenzhu come to Li Ye at night? Didn't she have any reserve? Didn't she have any dignity as a princess?
In fact, no, Li Ye had already hinted to her that he came to Jiangnan just for her. A country woman may not have the knowledge to take it seriously, but as the former Crown Princess Shen Zhenzhu, she understood Li Ye's hint and knew very well to reject Li Ye's suggestion. The consequences of Ye.
Even if Li Ye didn't force her, the Shen family would be completely finished. Once the internal guards came to investigate the death of the emperor's eldest grandson, the entire Shen family would probably be convicted.
So last night, she had to go even if she didn't want to go. She had to go. This was a rule of power and it was not up to her at all.
I digressed a bit, so let’s get back to it.
When Shen Li heard that her aunt was taking her to Chang'an, she was so happy that she agreed immediately.
………
Before dawn the next day, two hundred soldiers took twenty passenger ships and escorted several passenger ships and set off.
Li Ye visited the Shen family privately. He did not bring many troops, only two hundred soldiers. His fleet and escorts were waiting at the Qiantang River in Hangzhou.
"Auntie, do we still want to go to Quanzhou?" Shen Li asked puzzledly.
Shen Zhenzhu nodded, "We will take His Highness Jianguo's ship and accompany him to Quanzhou first, and then follow him back to the capital."
"Auntie, I heard that the prisoner is actually the emperor. Is it true?"
"It's true. He is now the supreme monarch of the Tang Dynasty. In two or three years, he will officially ascend the throne as emperor."
"oh--"
Shen Li lowered his head and whispered: "Grandpa told me that he decides the fate of our Shen family, so I should be good and don't make him angry."
Shen Zhenzhu was annoyed, but her father still talked to Ah Li. She touched Shen Li's head and said with a smile: "He is a man who cares about the world and has a broad mind. He will not be angry for a little lady like you, don't worry!"
When Shen Li heard what her aunt said, she felt relieved a little.
At this time, a faint cry came from outside, "Ali! Ali! Don't leave-"
It was the voice of a young man. Shen Li's face turned pale, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
Shen Pearl opened the boat window and looked back, only to see a small boat following behind her. There was a young man standing on the boat, waving desperately to this side.
Shen Pearl's face suddenly darkened, "Ali, who is he?"
"He is Mr. Gu!"
"The one from the Gu family in Suzhou?"
Shen Li nodded slightly, and Shen Pearl frowned, "Why is he in Wuxing?"
"He has been in Wuxing, staying at a friend's house."
Shen Zhenzhu didn't expect such a thing to happen. She began to worry and immediately asked: "Have you ever dated in private?"
Shen Li shook her head quickly, "He asked me out several times and invited me to go out for fun, but I didn't agree to it. Then he wrote to me every day."
Speaking of this, Shen Li's pretty face turned red and she lowered her head.
"You didn't bring those letters with you!"
Shen Li shook his head quickly, "I burned them all last night, as well as the books he gave me. I asked the housekeeper to return them to him."
Shen Zhenzhu suddenly realized that no wonder the young master of the Gu family knew that Ali had left. The housekeeper probably told him when he returned the book.
"Do you like him?"
Shen Li nodded nervously, then shook her head, "I don't know either. In fact, I only met him once, when I went to my grandma's house in Suzhou to celebrate her birthday two months ago. Then he came to Wuxing and wrote to me every day. .”
"So you were impressed by him?"
"a little bit."
Shen Zhenzhu felt relieved. Her niece was just in love with her, and she didn't really like Mr. Gu. As time went by, it would slowly fade away.
