Chapter 484: Concubine Yang's help
Outside the mansion of Mrs. Sui Guo, Li Zhi stood outside the door with gifts, and was anxiously saying something to an old eunuch, but no matter what he said, the other party supported his ears with his hands, with a puzzled expression, and his mouth let out "Ah? Yes? The voice seemed to be behind the ear, and it was impossible to hear what Li Zhi was saying.
"I'm here to meet Mrs. Sui, you go and pay a respect!" Li Zhi roared loudly in anger. He has come to visit Mrs. Sui several times, but every time such an old eunuch comes out, his guards shouted for a long time, but the other party has been pretending to be deaf and dumb, no matter what, he is not allowed to enter the door, this time Li Zhi finally couldn't help but step forward in person, thinking that with his own identity, the other party should not dare to play any tricks, but he didn't expect that it was useless at all, and people should still be deaf as much as they want.
"Oh, you're asking me what my name is, the little one's name is Wu Liangan, and he is the housekeeper of the house, what does the son command?" Wu Liangan opened a pair of dizzy old eyes and deliberately answered the question. In fact, he knew that the prince in front of him was today, but he had already been instructed by Empress Xiao before, not to mention that it was the prince in front of him, even if His Majesty was today, he would not let him in.
Li Zhi is very angry, but he can't do anything about the other party, no matter how he is, he is also the housekeeper of Mrs. Sui's house, he can't beat him, he can't scold, and he can't let him in. Li Zhi is so big, it is the first time he feels so aggrieved.
Just when Li Zhi couldn't advance or retreat, and didn't know what to do, suddenly another team of people rushed to the door of Mrs. Sui's mansion, and when he saw the carriage in the middle, Li Zhi was overjoyed, because he knew that it was Concubine Yang's car. Concubine Yang in the car also saw Li Zhi, and also saw Wu Liangan blocking the door and not letting him in. See here. Concubine Yang couldn't help but sigh.
"Pheasant slave see Concubine Yang!" As soon as the car stopped, Li Zhi immediately trotted over. Standing on the side of the car with a happy face.
Concubine Yang got out of the car, looked at Li Zhi helplessly, and said, "What." Closed doors? ”
Concubine Yang is Li Zhi's elder, and she also grew up watching him, plus Concubine Yang is still Cai'er's aunt, so Li Zhi has nothing to hide, and said with a wry smile at the moment: "Qi Concubine Yang, Mrs. Sui doesn't want me to see Cai'er, no matter what I say, that old eunuch just won't let me in." ”
At this time, Wu Liangan, who was in front of the gate, also saw Concubine Yang's car and hurriedly ran a few steps. stepped forward and saluted: "Old slave Wu Liangan, knock on the ninth princess!" ”
"No need to be polite, the prince is visiting today, let him go in with me!" Concubine Yang stroked her hand lightly and asked Wu Liangan to stand up before she spoke.
"Yes, the Ninth Princess, please come in, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince please come in!" Although Concubine Yang's voice was not loud, Wu Liangan answered very simply. There was no deafness and dazzled appearance just now, which made Li Zhi angry again, and he couldn't help glaring at the other party fiercely, but unfortunately Wu Liangan was not afraid of him at all. Keep your head down and don't see it. Anyway, he is in his eighties, and he has no family, no matter how powerful Li Zhi is. And what can you do with him?
Although Li Zhi was angry, he would not meet an old eunuch. And now he can finally go to see Queen Xiao, maybe he can meet Cai'er. As soon as he thought of this, Li Zhi immediately felt that the stuffiness in his chest had completely disappeared, and he followed Concubine Yang into the Lady of Sui Mansion with joy.
After entering the mansion, Li Zhi has been following Concubine Yang's side, but at this time, Concubine Yang said a little heavily: "Prince, do you really like Cai'er?" ”
Li Zhi suddenly heard Concubine Yang ask, and he was startled at that time, and even paused for a moment. He and Cai'er have been in contact through letters for several years, if there is any love between men and women, I'm afraid even he won't believe it, and the last time he was at the city gate, he saw Cai'er again, although it was only a glimpse, but it had already left an indelible mark in his heart, Li Zhi believed that even if a lifetime passed, he would not forget the scene of that day.
Thinking of this, Li Zhi couldn't care about anything, and immediately spoke: "Qiyu Concubine Yang, the pheasant slave really likes Cai'er, we haven't broken letters all these years, it can be said that Cai'er is my most confidant person, even if it is my father and mother, I don't know me as well as Cai'er, and I feel that I can no longer do without Cai'er, so I also hope that Concubine Yang will be successful!" ”
Seeing Li Zhi say so bluntly, and his expression was rarely resolute, this made Concubine Yang also moved, she watched Li Zhi grow up, naturally knew his character, it can be said that it was the first time for Concubine Yang to see Li Zhi with such a resolute expression, and this also shows that Li Zhi really has feelings for Cai'er.
But the trouble is also in this point, Concubine Yang looked seriously at the young man in front of her, stopped and asked in a calm voice: "Pheasant slave, you are a smart child, I think you should know, with your identity, if you want to marry Cai'er, what kind of impact will it have?" ”
Li Zhi nodded when he heard this, he naturally knew that he was the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty and the future emperor, but Cai'er was the daughter of the former Sui prince, and she could barely be regarded as the princess of the dead country, which was extremely similar to the Yang Concubine in front of him. And what is even more coincidental is that Concubine Yang and her father also met when they were young, and the relationship between the two is very deep, and even to put it mildly, her father's feelings for Concubine Yang are probably deeper than those for her mother, but even so, Concubine Yang is just a concubine and can never become a queen.
And now Li Zhi himself is facing the same problem, but he is luckier than his father Li Shimin, because it is not the beginning of the founding of the country, and now the Tang Dynasty is very stable, and he doesn't care much about the former Sui relics, so if Li Zhi really wants to marry Cai'er, it is not impossible, but it will still encounter great opposition and resistance, and it will even have an impact on his position as the crown prince, and Cai'er itself will also be under tremendous pressure, and this is one of the reasons why Empress Xiao is unwilling to let Li Zhi see Cai'er again, She only wants her granddaughter to be safe.
In addition, Empress Xiao was originally the queen of the previous dynasty, she knew that the harem was killing every step of the way, and if she was not careful, she would be doomed, she had suffered enough, so she didn't want her granddaughter to follow her old path, and it was precisely because of this that she turned Li Zhi away several times, in order to break Cai'er and Li Zhi's thoughts.
Seeing Li Zhi nodding, Concubine Yang sighed lightly and said: "Your queen mother has already looked for me, although she didn't say it explicitly, but in fact, there is a meaning in her words, that is, let me restrain Cai'er and prevent you and Cai'er from meeting again, which means that your queen mother is also against this matter between you and Cai'er, do you want to go against your mother's wishes?" ”
Li Zhi heard that the eldest grandson queen also objected, and his whole body was shocked at the moment, and his face became a little pale, he was a filial person, whether it was his father or mother, he respected him very much, and he never violated their will, but now he liked Cai'er's matter, but he was first opposed by his mother, which made Li Zhi a little overwhelmed for a while.
Concubine Yang saw that Li Zhi was not guarding, and she didn't ask anything more, she turned around and walked towards Queen Xiao's inner house, and Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, but she immediately followed, and after a while, they came to the living room of Queen Xiao's inner house, and at this time, Queen Xiao also knew that Li Zhi was brought by Concubine Yang, so she was not surprised when she saw Li Zhi also come in.
"Jiu Niang is here, please take a seat!" Empress Xiao said with a smile on her face, but she didn't seem to see Li Zhi. She just returned to Chang'an a few days ago, and Concubine Yang hadn't come to see her yet, but when she saw her today, Concubine Yang found that Queen Xiao was much older than a few years ago, and she really looked like an old man in her last years.
Concubine Yang sat down with a smile, and then asked some things about Empress Xiao's body, and asked them about their life in Li Su, and also asked some questions about her grandson and granddaughter. And Li Zhi also knew that Empress Xiao was embarrassing himself and wanted him to retreat, but he felt that it was worth it for Cai'er to suffer these grievances.
"Mother, why isn't Cai'er here?"
At this moment, Concubine Yang suddenly asked about Cai'er, which made Empress Xiao stunned, and after glancing at Li Zhi, she said: "Cai'er is angry in the back garden, you will comfort her later!" ”
Concubine Yang didn't ask Cai'er why she was angry, it was estimated that as long as she was a person, she could guess it, but when Li Zhi heard the news, her face showed a hint of joy. At this time, Concubine Yang's words made him overjoyed, and even almost jumped up with joy.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, you and Cai'er are childhood acquaintances, Cai'er is in a bad mood now, you can comfort her on my behalf!" Concubine Yang suddenly spoke, and her eyes looking at Li Zhi were also full of encouragement.
As soon as Concubine Yang's words came out, not only Empress Xiao was stunned, but Li Zhi was also very surprised, but he reacted immediately, and said very excitedly: "Don't worry, Concubine Yang, Cai'er will be handed over to me!" ”
After Li Zhi finished speaking, he didn't wait for Queen Xiao to stop him, but directly gave a junior salute to Queen Xiao, and then turned around and ran to the backyard, it seems that he also knows that if he doesn't run faster, then he will probably be stopped by Queen Xiao.
"Jiu Niang, what are you?" Seeing Li Zhi running to the back garden to find Cai'er, Queen Xiao couldn't stop her if she wanted to, and this was what Concubine Yang promised without her consent, which made her really puzzled, and even asked Concubine Yang angrily.
However, Concubine Yang looked very calm, and after watching Li Zhi's figure disappear, she smiled and said to Empress Xiao: "Mother, I know that you are for Cai'er's good, but you have done something wrong in this matter, in my opinion, if you really prevent Cai'er from interacting with the prince, it will really hurt Cai'er!"
