Chapter 44 Chapter 44 The Pipa Girl

Lianhua has already rushed up and hastily covered my mouth. Luoluo finally understood, and said in a low voice: "The king of Han and the crown prince are traveling together. If Princess Pingyang can go to Tubo, then Tubo can be regarded as the crown prince's man, which will be of great benefit to the future of the crown prince. And if the king of Han can support the crown prince, it will naturally be a success." The wind makes the wind, and the rain makes the rain. I finally understand that it doesn’t matter if I become the queen of Tubo, but I am in the way of others.” Both Lianhua and Luoluo looked a little startled, they looked at each other, and then cast their eyes on me at the same time.

I forced a smile and said, "Look at what I am doing?" But I knew in my heart that they were somewhat suspicious.After all, when I first entered the palace, I mentioned that the king of Han and the crown prince had a good relationship, and that the Princess of Pingyang's entry into Tubo would be of great benefit to the crown prince in the future, so I reminded Li Shimin to think twice; , Be very active and enthusiastic to strengthen Li Shimin's belief.Luo Luo is a bit careless, but she is also extremely smart, knowing that I never want to be too talkative, and if I come forward rashly, there must be a reason for the incident, and most likely I have thought about it a long time ago.

When I was feeling guilty, Luoluo breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out her hand to scratch my armpit, and said: "Shu'er, tell me the truth, did you always want me to replace Pingyang as Naluoshizi's queen of Tubo?" But I was most afraid of tickling. When I was running to dodge, Lianhua also helped Luoluo from the side, and pushed me down on the bed, scratching me so hard that I couldn't breathe from laughing, begging for mercy repeatedly. Jian Bi hurriedly came over and said: "Ladies, stop making trouble, there is noise outside, and I heard you laughing, I don't know why you are taking pleasure in other's misfortune."

Luoluo hurriedly stopped her hands, pointed at me and said, "Quickly, what are you planning?" Although she looked a bit vicious, there was still a hint of a smile in her bright orb-like eyes, which showed that she was not Really mad at me. I could only say with a bitter face: "What idea can I make? Lu Dongzan wanted you to be the queen, so maybe I was the one who attracted you? Once the word is spread, it will be even better. Princess Pingyang won't eat me right away." It's over!" Luo Luo was skeptical, and finally sighed: "In fact, politics has nothing to do with us. Shu'er is just too smart, and everything seems to be predictable."

Lianhua also worried: "What should we do now? They are making such a fuss, and we still can't get out?" Luo Luo murmured: "We haven't had breakfast yet, could it be that we have been huddled in the room? Of course we have to go out." At this time, the outside of the room became strangely quiet. I listened carefully and said, "It's strange, there is no movement." Luo Luo shouted: "Come on, let's go out and have a look." Walking out of the room, before reaching the courtyard, they heard the voices of everyone in unison: "Servants see the emperor!" "Concubines see the emperor!"

It turned out that Li Shimin came suddenly. No matter how angry Princess Pingyang was, he dared not be presumptuous and rude. When we wanted to return to the room, Li Shimin had already looked at us, we couldn't dodge, so we had to walk out and salute respectfully. Li Shimin's homely brocade shirt was blown away by the wind, but his face was very serious, slightly angry, more majestic than the one on the golden palace.He just nodded to us, and said leisurely: "Early in the morning, Fenghua Courtyard is quite lively." Princess Pingyang had already cried so much that her eyes were red and swollen, and her hairpins were scattered. At this time, she knelt down in front of Li Shimin, choked up and said: "Pingyang knows that he is dull and not enough to be the mother of a country, so these days, he has been conscientious and diligent. Without any fault, why did Luoluo replace me in Tubo for no reason, without even an explanation?"

Li Shimin said with a sullen face, "Do you want to explain? Yes! Go look in the mirror and see what you look like now. Can you be as dignified and quiet as the mother of a country?" Princess Pingyang was used to arrogance, but she ignored Li Shimin's harsh words, raised her head, and said, "I know I'm dishonored! But Luoluo is more like the mother of a country than I am?" She was unwilling to lose so much, but she was even more unwilling to lose at the hands of Li Luoluo, whom she had never paid much attention to.From her point of view, although Luoluo was born noble, but her behavior is rough, her speech and laughter are unscrupulous, and she doesn't even have the least ladylike demeanor, so what kind of queen can she be?

Li Shimin shook his head and said: "Is the demeanor of a mother of a country above the dignified and calm appearance? Have you read carefully the ten chapters of "Women's Rules" by Empress Wende? Whether it is a queen, a concubine, or As a wife, internal cultivation and true knowledge and courtesy are the most important. Otherwise, even if there is gold and jade on the outside, what's the use?" Li Shimin flicked his sleeves angrily, and even waved the corner of his sleeves to Princess Pingyang's face. Princess Pingyang's face turned pale, and finally he dared not speak.

Concubine Yang Shu hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't be angry. It's early in the morning and you haven't had breakfast yet. The concubine here has newly made barley porridge and some new snacks. Let's have breakfast first." Say it again." Li Shimin was still angry, snorted, then turned around and walked into the hall with Concubine Yang Shu on his arm. Princess Pingyang's face turned from white to blue, tears welled up in his eyes, but they didn't fall, only the black and deep eyes behind the tears stared at Luoluo like ice, filled with anger and shock.

Seeing that Pingyang was scolded miserably, Luoluo felt a little guilty, hesitantly said: "What do you see me doing? It's not that I'm going to Tibet." I patted Luo Luo's hand and said, "Let's go in and eat something too. From now on, you have to learn something too. You don't need to learn etiquette and conversation, you just need to learn more about self-cultivation and morality, that's all." Princess Pingyang stood up, rushed to me and said, "What are you? What is self-cultivation? Where did I lose my virtue?" Seeing that her clenched fist was about to hit my nose, Lianhua let out a scream, and Luoluo had already stepped over, stretched out her hand to block Princess Pingyang, and said: "The book only tells me to cultivate my morality, but I never said that you have established morality." , do you dare to be so rude?"

Because I hated the King of Han, I didn't like Princess Pingyang in the first place. When I saw her move her hands at this time, I couldn't help but sneered and said, "Shu'er is a commoner girl, so I don't deserve to blame the Princess. But didn't the Emperor just say that Now, the way of a woman is the most important thing to cultivate, you must know the book and the etiquette, if you can't do it, you will lose your virtue. The princess is already shaking his fist, can it be regarded as cultivated?" Princess Pingyang said angrily: "Is it necessary to talk about self-cultivation for a pariah?" I said loudly: "Princess, whether you are in the Tang Dynasty or in Tubo, what you have to face and respect should be the people of the world! Since ancient times, the people are the most important thing, and the people are the foundation of a country, and water can carry a boat." , can also overturn the boat! Such a simple truth, the princess has studied it for so long, and still doesn’t understand it?” Princess Pingyang was stunned, and Li Shimin ordered in a deep voice from inside the room: "Tell, let Hanwang Li Yuanchang enter the palace immediately, and bring Princess Pingyang back!" Princess Pingyang's teardrops finally fell from Susu, and her hateful eyes were not only directed at Luoluo.If possible, I'm afraid she will jump up, take a knife, and hack us both to death. Luoluo frowned.But I smiled lightly and said: "Let's go to have breakfast. I'm already hungry." Princess Pingyang hates and poisons, but Luoluo will go to Tubo, and she will not have the chance to get revenge on Luoluo.As for me, I am getting closer and closer to my 21st century, so I am not worried that this woman will rush to a thousand years away to hurt me. Even though Princess Pingyang is a bit arrogant, she never offended me before.But I'm not that kind to people I don't like.From the untouchables to the relationship between the monarch and the people, and the way of the emperor, I am indeed deliberately provoking Li Shimin's dissatisfaction with her. After breakfast, Li Shimin and Li Ke, the king of Wu, who came to visit his mother, went to a pavilion near Fenghua courtyard to drink tea and talk about something. Although we were a bit tired, since the emperor was here, we didn't dare to go to the room to rest, we just followed around, in case there was an occasional call. Sure enough, not long after, Concubine Yang Shu, who was accompanying Li Shimin, waved to us again. When she hurriedly asked, it was Li Shimin who remembered my pipa and Lianhua Xiao yesterday. Seeing that the weather was very cool today, he asked us to play again song. I figured that Li Shimin was probably in a bad mood and wanted to relax.So they called Lianhua, and played a song "Autumn Water" together, which was very long and distant, peaceful and peaceful. As expected, Li Shimin's expression became calmer day by day, he slowly stood up, smiled and looked at the towering eaves of the Tai Chi Hall, in the sunlight that slowly broke through the clouds, a golden light gradually shone. Unfortunately, before the end of the song, the King of Han came. Prostrating in front of Li Shimin, Li Yuanchang's figure became even more obese. I really doubt whether Tang Shi remembered it wrong. "Courageous, good at riding and shooting", would that describe this pig?But this pig also possesses the viciousness and lust of a jackal, which I really want to avoid. Although I knew that Li Yuanchang would never do anything to me in the palace, but remembering what happened that day in the prince's courtyard, I still subconsciously used the pipa to cover my face as much as possible, for fear of being recognized by him. But the moment Li Yuanchang stood up, he saw me again and stared greedily at me regardless of Li Shimin's presence. There seemed to be a caterpillar crawling through my heart, and the hand holding the pipa tightly was sweating a lot, a very bad premonition suddenly popped up. Moreover, another record about Li Yuanchang in the New Tang History Biographies also popped into my mind. Li Yuanchang's only request for supporting the prince is: there are palace people on the emperor's side who are good at playing the pipa, and "give me luck when things happen." And now I am sitting beside Li Shimin, holding a pipa in my arms, facing Li Yuanchang's wolf-like eyes!
