Growing up in the palace, Concubine Yang had a deep understanding of the dirty and dark side of the palace.
Throughout the dynasties, it was not uncommon for mothers and daughters to serve the same husband together.
Therefore, she wholeheartedly agreed with Empress Dowager Xiao's proposal to His Majesty Li Er to marry Princess Changle.
In her opinion, Princess Changle not only has a good reputation, but she is also the eldest princess. There are many benefits to marrying her.
Nowadays, Yang Fan has countless enemies. If he can marry Princess Changle, it will not be a good thing. At least he will have an extra layer of protection.
Of course Yang Fan knew what Concubine Yang meant, but he didn't say anything.
In his opinion, even though he promised his eldest grandson Wugou not to care about this matter anymore, judging from His Majesty Li Er's temper, he would definitely not go back on his word.
Because this guy takes his reputation too seriously!
Since he has already agreed to Empress Dowager Xiao and rumors have spread, it is useless even if Changsun Wugou objects.
Of course, it was impossible for Yang Fan to say such words. He just said with a smile: "Okay, let Wu Gu handle this matter by himself. As for the result, it is not our responsibility to worry about it. Get up quickly and be careful, godmother."
We will still be in bed when we come back."
Concubine Yang hugged Yang Fan tightly and refused to get up, muttering: "Huh, I'm not afraid. The queen mother is too partial. She recognized your son and even plotted against my daughter. It's really an advantage for you."
"The days are long, there are still things to do today." Yang Fan smiled bitterly.
He suddenly realized that this woman was so clingy, no different from a little girl.
Concubine Yang withdrew and hummed: "Huh, you said the same thing last time. In the end, you didn't come to me for several months. You are so cruel!"
Yang Fan smiled brightly: "It won't happen this time. Otherwise, when I go to Jiangnan after the New Year, you can also apply to His Majesty to go back to Jiangdu to pay homage to the Sui Emperor. Then I can stop by Jiangnan to have fun..."
Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty died in Jiangdu. If Concubine Yang left Chang'an for this reason, it would be a good excuse.
When the time comes, Yang Fan will find someone to pretend and secretly take Concubine Yang over, and no one will doubt her.
Hearing this, Concubine Yang's eyes lit up, and she shouted excitedly like a child: "Is it really okay? Don't leave me alone then."
"As a gentleman says, a horse is hard to catch!" Yang Fan hugged Concubine Yang's soft body and nodded affirmatively.
Although most men are animals who think with their lower bodies, and Yang Fan was more possessive than affectionate towards Concubine Yang.
But it is undeniable that from now on, the former princess is his woman.
Of course, Yang Fan would not cheat on his woman.
While the two were having fun with each other, a servant came to report that Wu Meiniang had something to discuss with Yang Fan.
After getting dressed, Yang Fan walked out of the side yard in a hurry and happened to meet Wu Meimei who was a little anxious.
As soon as she saw Yang Fan, Wu Meiniang frowned and kept complaining with her beautiful, cherry-like little mouth:
"Mr. Lang, I don't know what you are thinking. You are staying the night openly, and you are not afraid of His Majesty's suspicion. Although everyone in the courtyard is our servant, it is inevitable that people will talk too much."
"Fortunately, I found out earlier and sent all the servants out of the house. What if I didn't?"
"Besides, it's so early in the morning and you are making so much noise. If you attract other people's attention, will our family still be alive?"
Wu Meiniang was full of resentment for Yang Fan's behavior of proclaiming his love during the day.
In fact, it is no wonder that as long as people live in this era, there is no one who is not afraid of the emperor.
Yang Fan was about to marry someone else's daughter here, and he was sleeping with someone else's daughter-in-law over there. If the emperor found out, it would be easy to confiscate the family and exterminate the family.
Originally, the entire Yang family was prospering, and Yang Fan had a bright future.
If something happens because of a woman's sudden torment, will you die if you don't regret it?
Yang Fan smiled awkwardly, hugged Wu Meiniang, and said shamelessly: "Isn't there Meiniang? Otherwise, how can the husband dare to be so relieved?"
"However, I did drink too much last night and I can't remember much. Now that it's over, I can only let it go like this. Go to Haosheng and tell the servants and maids to keep their mouths tight and be more careful in what they do and say in the future.
Don’t let the news slip.”
"It's wrong for me to let Meiniang worry about my husband's troubles. Why does our Yang family have no shortage of Meiniang? Thank you for your hard work!"
Seeing Wu Meiniang's anxious face, Yang Fan felt really distressed.
This delicate woman not only has to manage Nuo Da's family business, but also arranges for his marriage and wipes his butt. She is indeed a bit intolerant of others.
With Yang Fan holding her slender waist, Wu Meiniang's heart almost melted as she listened to these thoughtful words.
In this era, even the most timid and cowardly men have to maintain the so-called concept of male superiority and female inferiority.
Yang Fan puts women on the same level from the bottom of his heart. He is a unique man!
Wu Meiniang was at the age when young girls were pregnant, so she couldn't stand such thoughtful words of love, and her whole body suddenly felt soft.
The trace of sadness in her heart was instantly swept away. This feeling of being needed was something she had never felt before.
If it were the male master of another house, he might have scolded the woman for meddling in her own business.
Wu Meiniang stared at Yang Fan with a pair of watery eyes, and gently pressed her slender jade fingers like spring green onions to her lips, and said softly: "You have such a mouth, you really can trick people to death without giving up their lives. No wonder even the current queen has been deceived by you."
Once you get it, I don’t know how many famous ladies will be ruined by your mouth from now on."
Yang Fan frowned, feeling that these words were somewhat familiar.
Well, it seems that Concubine Yang also said it!
So he chuckled and said in a low voice, shamelessly: "I don't know whether others will be ruined or not by my mouth. I only know that my wife is the one who can't stand my mouth the most."
"Oh! Lang Jun, what are you talking about? You are talking so openly. How could you say such a thing..."
Wu Meiniang's heart trembled when she heard this, and she quickly stretched out her jade hand to cover Yang Fan's mouth tightly. Her crystal clear face was already covered with red clouds.
He looked at Yang Fan in anger and said in a trembling voice: "Lang Jun is really bad. He dares to say such shameful words without fear of being heard..."
With one hand, he slapped Yang Fan's chest, and with the other hand, he performed the two-finger Zen technique.
Seeing Wu Meiniang's shy look, Yang Fan chuckled and hugged her tighter.
Women at this time were really good, and they could be convinced by just a few words of coaxing. Yang Fan liked this era more and more.
The two quarreled for a while, and Yang Fan asked: "Mei Niang didn't just come to me to talk about her romantic affair, right?"
"Of course not. Meiniang has something serious to do here, and it's all because of Lang Jun's interruption." Wu Meiniang also gradually calmed down and complained.
If Yang Fan hadn't asked, he would have almost forgotten the real thing.
"Oh, let's talk while walking!"
With that said, Yang Fan took Wu Meiniang in his arms and walked towards the main hall.
When she came to the main hall and sat down, Wu Meiniang also told her the purpose of her visit.
It turned out that a messenger from the imperial court came to inform that His Majesty Li Er's marriage decree was about to be issued, so Yang Fan was asked to prepare.
Yang Fan was slightly startled and asked: "Why did your Majesty's imperial edict come out so quickly? Does the Queen know about it?"
"My husband worked so hard yesterday, and the Queen hasn't gotten up yet." Wu Meiniang looked at Yang Fan angrily, and said with a half-smile:
"You are really cheap for me, husband. Now it is your wish. There is another charming and beautiful girl. My husband has a new love. Don't forget about me in the future."
A trace of joy flashed in Yang Fan's eyes, and he quickly assured: "Meiniang is our darling. If I forget myself, it is impossible for me to forget Mei Niang."
Although Princess Changle is very charming and charming, she fits Yang Fan's aesthetic point of view very well.
But in terms of help to family and career, Wu Meiniang's help to Yang Fan is definitely better.
Of course, this does not mean that Princess Changle's status as a princess is useless.
At least it's quite bluffing when used to pull a tiger's skin to raise a banner.
After all, she is the eldest princess, no one dares to look down upon her.
What's more, the two princesses got married this time, which can be said to be the first time after Xu'e's concubine.
You must know that Yang Fan is just a county official.
However, Yang Fan was a little confused.
Yesterday, Changsun Wugu said that he wanted to dissuade the emperor from granting a marriage. Could it be that he was too busy and forgot about it?
But what Yang Fan didn't know was that of course Changsun Wugou had not forgotten it, but the people he sent were stopped by Empress Dowager Xiao.
This is also the reason why Empress Dowager Xiao went to Chang'an again, just to get His Majesty Li Er to issue an order as soon as possible.
It can be said that Jiang is very old and spicy, and Queen Mother Xiao's skills are impeccable.
Seeing her husband's effervescent beauty, Wu Meiniang felt so bad.
This husband always likes to play something different.
Whether it was the Wu sisters or the mother and daughter of the eldest grandson Wuga, as long as it was this kind of tone, the husband seemed to be particularly excited.
It seems like this guy really thinks of himself as an emperor and has no scruples about anything he does.
Of course, as long as Yang Fan likes it, Wu Meiniang will stand by his side without hesitation.
In her opinion, only Yang Fan understands her best in the world. She would rather be hurt than see Yang Fan unhappy at all.
Time soon came to noon, and the old eunuch Wang Huangui came to Junyangfang with a group of servants.
As soon as he saw Yang Fan, Wang Huangui said: "Congratulations, sir, congratulations, sir, my servant is here to bother me again."
"You are so polite, father-in-law. We have worked hard all the way, let's take a rest inside!" Yang Fan has been in the officialdom for so long, and he is very familiar with greetings.
What's more, the old eunuch is considered an acquaintance, so there is no need to be so foreign.
As expected, the imperial edict brought by Wang Huangui was not only that His Majesty Li Er marry Princess Changle together, but also confirmed the wedding date.
On November 28th, the twelfth year of Zhenguan, after this day, Yang Fan will end his two-life single life.
In the next month or so, Yang Fan was extremely busy, but he was really excited inside.
Marriage not only represents a responsibility, but also represents that Yang Fan has grown up.
People often say that when a long drought brings nectar, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, the night of flowers and candles in the wedding room, and the inscription on the gold medal, these are the four great joys in life.
Getting married for the first time in two lives was of course full of yearning and novelty, and Yang Fan also paid special attention to it.
Getting married in ancient times was actually very complicated, not to mention two princesses getting married at the same time.
The "Book of Rites" has stipulated the six rites for concluding a marriage: accepting the gift, asking for the name, accepting the acknowledgment, accepting the invitation, asking for a date, and welcoming in person. This is a necessary link.
Weddings in the Tang Dynasty naturally inherited the ancient rituals of the predecessors, but the differences between the rich and the poor were different, and the ostentation was different in complexity and simplicity.
For a noble family like the Yang Mansion, the procedures are extremely complicated. If it weren't for Empress Dowager Xiao presiding over it and Wu Meiniang cooperating, it wouldn't have been possible to complete it in such a short time.
Time soon came to November 28, the twelfth year of Zhenguan. Today is auspicious, it is time to get married, level the land, and welcome good luck...
After several months of preparation, everything about the wedding has been taken care of.
When a princess gets married, there are certain rules and regulations that must not be neglected. After all, it is related to the emperor's face.
On November 28th, the ugly hour had just arrived and the sky was still pitch black.
However, both the Yang Mansion and the Imperial Palace were in a state of celebration. The orange red lights stretched for more than ten kilometers, letting the people of the entire Chang'an City know that Yang Fan, a great benevolent man and great hero, was about to get married.
Moreover, the targets were the two noble princesses. Some people who liked to watch the excitement even stayed up all night and stood on the street waiting to watch this grand ceremony, as if the night could no longer stop people's interest.
Although the curfew in Chang'an City is usually strictly enforced, it will be canceled for three consecutive days starting tonight, providing opportunities for people watching the excitement to move freely.
At this time, the imperial city was brightly lit.
One by one, bright red palace lanterns were hung high, and the bright lights enveloped the entire imperial city in an orange-red halo, adding a bit of joy to the solemnity.
In the Li Zheng Hall, there was a lot of laughter and laughter, making it very lively.
Since the two princesses were getting married together, it was certainly impossible to place the wedding venue in a certain princess's palace.
Therefore, it is most appropriate to make unified preparations in the Riseijeon Hall.
As the two most popular princesses of His Majesty Li Er got married, of course the princesses, consorts and princes in the capital came to congratulate them.
All the princesses and princes came to Princess Gaoyang's palace in unison.
The prince and consort were chatting outside, but the women were sitting together, laughing and dressing up.
No matter whether it is pleasing to the eye or not, at this time, I will let go of my prejudices and show a warm scene of sisterly love in front of outsiders.
Princess Yongjia was sitting diagonally in front of Princess Gaoyang's couch, gently stroking her black hair with a comb. There was an air of mature young woman in her movements.
She is wearing a simple and elegant sky blue palace dress today, with a graceful and graceful figure. Such a plump figure will always make people feel inexplicably tempted.
Looking at Princess Gaoyang and Princess Changle sitting in front of the dressing table, their two flower-like faces look even more beautiful with light makeup.
Even if a fairy from heaven comes down to earth, she will feel ashamed compared with these two women.
Seeing that her two nieces were about to marry the same person, Princess Yongjia felt a little distressed and a little pity, so she said softly: "You girls are really stupid. We are high-ranking princesses, royal relatives and nobles, and we actually get married at the same time.
Marrying someone else, the emperor is too disrespectful to you."
"Sigh, we women have the most miserable life. Many times we have no control over our own affairs and cannot make the decision at all. It's such a miserable life."
"But men are different. They eat from the bowl and look into the pot. It's not enough for Yang Fan to marry Gao Yang. He actually wants beauty. It's simply ridiculous. This guy has three wives and four concubines. He really thinks that we are the princess of the Li family.
It’s just Chinese cabbage, it’s really annoying!”
The more Princess Yongjia talked, the angrier she became, and in the end she gritted her teeth. If someone didn’t know better, she would have thought that jealousy had broken out!
Hearing this, Princess Gaoyang raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Auntie, don't let Consort Dou hear this. Otherwise, it will break your heart to find out that your beloved wife, whom you regard as a treasure, actually treats men like this."
Princess Yongjia married Dou Fengjie, but this guy couldn't hold Princess Yongjia at all and was very henpecked.
Therefore, Dou Fengjie always held Princess Yongjia in the palm of his hand and let her do as she pleased, not wanting to say a harsh word.
But the falling flowers are intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless.
Princess Yongjia didn't like Dou Fengjie at all. She only regarded their marriage as a political deal and called this guy a loser every day.
With no other choice, Dou Fengjie had no choice but to apply to the emperor for guarding the border. The two of them barely saw each other throughout the year, and the marriage was in name only.
Therefore, many people used Dou Fengjie's infatuation to make fun of Princess Yongjia.
Princess Yongjia's face was slightly red, and she glared at Princess Gaoyang with some embarrassment, and said: "As long as someone doesn't like me, who cares if he is heartless? But you, girl, it doesn't matter if you make fun of me now, wait until we get married.
, I’m afraid you will suffer! The one in your family is really bad-tempered and only knows how to hit people with his fists. You jumped into the fire pit yourself, but you dragged the beauty down too. Don’t come to my aunt to cry at that time."
"Oh, I think you are jealous, aunt. Don't worry. Sister Changle and I will come to visit aunt more in the future... Otherwise, I will also ask Lang Jun to come and see you!" Princess Gaoyang spoke sharply, so of course she didn't dare.
Show weakness.
Besides, Yang Fan was his favorite fiancé, how could anyone make fun of him, not even his own aunt?
The slight smile on Princess Gaoyang's lips and the two dimples on her face all revealed the sweetness in her heart and her expectations for the future.
Princess Linchuan heard the conversation between the two and said angrily: "I also agree with what my aunt said. I really don't know what my father thinks about why beauty married such a tough guy. Our beauty is gentle, virtuous, talented and beautiful."
Both sides, this life is ruined!"
Her consort is Zhou Daowu.
After Zhou Daowu and Yang Fan returned from conquering Tibet, they became General Zuowuwei based on their merits.
Although Zhou Daowu did not dare to offend Yang Fan again, his relationship with Yang Fan was not good after all.
After returning, he was assigned by the emperor to take turns guarding the capital.
After not returning home for a whole year, the young couple lived in separate places. It was inevitable that Princess Linchuan felt some resentment towards Yang Fan.
In her opinion, it was Yang Fan who said bad things that made the emperor send Zhou Daowu far away!
For a moment, there was a bit of a chill in the bedroom.
Yang Fan is indeed a free-spirited person, but the more such a person is, the more people avoid him. Who is willing to provoke him?
Princess Qinghe on the side just sat quietly, with a slight smile on her beautiful face, turning a deaf ear.
Her consort is Cheng Hualiang. As Cheng Chumo’s sister-in-law and Cheng Yaojin’s daughter-in-law, her heart is naturally towards Yang Fan...
But she couldn't refute, after all, this was a big day, and once a quarrel broke out, it would affect the atmosphere.
However, in her opinion, Yang Fan is still very capable.
Ever since Cheng Yaojin and Yang Fan became friends, life in their Cheng family became more and more prosperous.
