Chapter 491(1/2)
"Do you know, Duke Qiao and the eldest princess are still separated!"
"Leave it? Isn't Duke Qiao still in Longyou? How did he leave?"
"Duke Qiao returned to Beijing today. As soon as he came back, he was summoned to the East Palace and left."
"Oh, Duke Qiao is pitiful. He traveled thousands of miles back to Beijing and didn't even have time to rest."
"Who asked him to marry the eldest princess? It's not good for a woman to be too capable, so she can't help but be able to suppress her."
"Well, yin is strong and yang is weak."
"If you want to say that Duke Qiao is also a capable person, why is the eldest princess even more powerful?"
"The eldest princess is amazing, but unfortunately she is a little unfaithful."
"Who said that he is the princess of the Tian family?"
"Do you think Li Pingzhang will divorce his wife and marry her?"
"Of course not. Have I seen Li Pingzhang go to Shuofang?"
"I think this matter is not over yet. Why would the princess divorce her husband? What if His Majesty forced Li Pingzhang to divorce his wife, could Li Pingzhang stand it?"
"Li Xiangguo has made such a great contribution. If he didn't want to divorce his wife, His Majesty wouldn't have forced him to divorce his wife and marry the eldest princess, right? I think this matter is probably the case. Li Xiangguo will not divorce his wife, but he will definitely not be able to stop the princess."
"Hey, this aunt and nephew are amazing!"
"People who are capable are different."
In the streets and alleys of Chang'an, the wind was talking about the divorce case between the eldest princess and Chai Shao. This most lively thing in Chang'an immediately regained the top spot as Chai Shao returned to Beijing.
At the same time, whether Princess Pingyang and Li Xiangguo would be together has become hotly discussed again. There have even been many gambling shops that have opened a verge on this.
Zhao Duke’s Mansion.
After Zheng Hongxian heard these rumors outside from his father, Butler Zheng, he immediately ran to tell Cui Yingying.
"Thirteen Niang, that Princess Pingyang really doesn't know how to be ashamed. In the past, I thought she was a good person, especially after watching the talk for a long time, I thought she was so powerful and a heroine. Who knew that she was a shameless man. Seducing a married man, leaving his husband to abandon his husband and son. How could such a woman do everything?"
Cui Yingying sat in the corridor reading a book with her seven-month-old belly. When she heard the news, she put down the book.
"Really separated?"
"I left. As soon as General Chai returned to Beijing, he went to the East Palace. When he came out, he had already written a letter to release his wife. The eldest princess did not even return to the Duke of Qiao's mansion, so she directly sent someone to move away. Now she lives in a villa in the middle of Beijing, and the children are left to Duke of Qiao."
Cui Yingying picked up the kettle and added a glass of water to the cup.
No tea leaves, just some honey.
The honey collected from the Qinling Mountains was collected by Wang Beto's brothers from Lantian's family in the mountains. They were bees in the caves of the tree. This kind of honey is sweeter, more rare and more nutritious than ordinary nectar.
Brew in warm water.
Cui Yingying picked up the spoon and stirred it slowly.
She was getting heavier and heavier, and she was paying more and more attention to taking care of her body. The nurse and mother at home had already prepared her, and she also did some exercises as Li Chao told her every day.
"That's also the family affairs of other people. They say that it is difficult for honest officials to settle family affairs, so outsiders can't care about other people's family affairs. No one can judge who is right or wrong."
"Thirteen Niang, why can't I comment? This is not black and white, and I'm not sure. It was indeed someone else's business, but now she has a lot to do with our family. I'm afraid that she will come to bother our Sanlang even more unscrupulously in the future."
"What are you pestering? Didn't Saburo have already expressed his attitude in the palace last time? And now Saburo is in Shuofang, and she can't even bother with him even if she wants to."
Cui Yingying picked up the tea and took a sip of honey water.
She kept a smile on her face, and she said to herself in her heart, don't be angry, don't be angry.
She is Li Sanlang's wife, Princess Pingyang, the third party who got into trouble. Why should she be afraid of her? Sanlang also told herself that he would not have anything to do with her.
It is best to be calm and take good care of the fetus.
Why should a wife who is a formal marriage be afraid of a third party who is a fan of affair and a slap in a slight way?
She found it a little funny.
She did admire Princess Pingyang before, and felt that she was as good as a woman. A woman did many things that men had never done before, fighting on the battlefield and leading troops.
But now, she laughed at her forgot the root of a woman.
She can lead troops to fight like a man, but she cannot think of three wives and four concubines like a man. Women are women. Men can have more women, but women cannot be like men and want more than many men.
Such an idea is too rebellious and cannot tolerate it by the people of the world. If it weren't for Princess Pingyang's previous reputation and achievements, if an ordinary woman dared to do so, she would have been despised long ago.
So Cui Yingying found it a little funny.
Why are you afraid of her?
Whether she is with Li or not, can she really take Sanlang away?
Eastern Palace.
After Chai Shao left, Li Shimin and Li Xiuning sat together.
Li Shimin was drinking tea and fried black tea from the Li family.
This black tea is made from the tea from the Li family in Wuyi Mountain tea garden. It is refined through a series of processes such as withering, rolling, fermenting and drying. After brewing this tea, the tea soup and the bottom of the leaf are red.
Because the production is more complicated than green tea and the taste is mellow, it has gradually become popular among famous nobles. Especially since black tea is rare and expensive, the price is very high in the market, but it is becoming more and more unlucky and cannot be used by wealthy families.
Because Li Shimin also likes to drink black tea, it has become a new fashion that famous nobles have sought after.
The Li family’s tea has become a new product among teas, and several tea products of green tea and black tea have been sought after. However, the Li family’s tea stir-frying technology is an untold secret, especially the black tea, the more so.
Outsiders don’t know the production process at all, so they can only see that the Li family’s tea has now become a famous tea product, which is expensive, but cannot be imitated at all.
The tea Li Shimin didn’t have to spend money on his own, and the Li family paid tribute.
The Li family's green tea and black tea have become imperial teas in the palace. Li Shimin gave the word "Li Shimin" and the Li family took the word "Li Shimin's" and went back to advertise in the half-month talk. The Li family's tea became more and more famous.
Nowadays, the output is limited, and it is difficult to find a tea, and there is a price but no market, so the price is rising steadily.
The Li family now pays a batch of tea to the palace for free every year, and the quantity is not large. If it exceeds that number, even the royal palace will have to pay for it.
When the royal family likes to buy things, they just exchange them for some other supplies, or even at very low prices. But this set is not good for the Li family. The Li family is the prime minister's family and the inner government purchases, so they dare not use the set of small merchants and vendors. The amount of money they should be, as much as they should be.
Li Shimin gently blew the heat from the teacup.
The tea in the cup is orange-yellow in color, fragrant and elegant in smell, and even has a grape aroma, with a delicate and soft texture, which is most suitable for drinking in spring and autumn.
Take a sip, soft and mellow.
Holding the teacup in your hand, warm.
However, Li Shimin looked at the third lady opposite and saw her drinking beer in a big glass.
This third sister is different from ordinary women everywhere.
"Next, what are the plans for my third sister?"
Just now, Li Xiuning, who was holding a book on his wife's book, didn't cry, didn't make a fuss, and didn't hang himself. Instead, she sat there, drinking beer in big mouthfuls.
When she heard Li Shimin's question, she didn't raise her head.
"It's still the same. Wen Yuan once wrote a poem, facing the sea, with spring flowers blooming. He also wrote a poem, life is not only about the misery in front of him, but also about the distance and poetry."
Li Shimin was stunned.
"Li Chao has also written such poems. If you read the complete ones, I will listen to them. I have never heard of these two poems."
"He once read that poem with me. I guess he made an impromptu work for a while and never told anyone else. He is not limited to the format and is more casual, but I like it very much."
From tomorrow, be a happy person
Feeding horses, chopping firewood, traveling around the world
From tomorrow, care about food and vegetables
I have a house facing the sea and the flowers are blooming in spring
From tomorrow, communicate with every relative
Tell them my happiness
That happy lightning told me
I'll tell everyone
Give every river and every mountain a warm name
Stranger, I wish you a blessing
May you have a bright future
May you have lovers finally get married
May you be blessed in the world
I just want to face the sea and spring flowers bloom
Li Shimin held the teacup and listened quietly as Li Xiuning finished reading this poem, this very special poem. This should indeed be an impromptu work, without rhymes and format. But it also sounds interesting.
However, the more Li Shimin listened, the more he felt that this poem was actually Li Chao expressing his affection to his third sister. Mom, why did he listen more and more like an elopement poem?
No wonder the third sister wants to divorce her. This is what Li Chao teased her.
