Chapter 49 The Royal Story

Which girl doesn’t want to have a Barbie doll? Which girl doesn’t want to have a lipstick? Which woman doesn’t want to own a house and a man?

------------------------------------------

*******

Tomorrow is the day for the princess to get married. Today, the princess will stay in the palace to receive congratulations from the concubines and rehearse the various etiquettes of tomorrow. It is already very complicated for ordinary people to get married, let alone the princess’ wedding. Li Tang was extravagant this time and was extremely luxurious.

Because Li Xiuning's biological mother, Empress Dou, passed away seven years ago, Concubine Wan, Concubine Yin De and Concubine Zhang, were jointly organized by Concubine Wan.

Empress Dou and Meixian are familiar with each other. When Meixian gave birth to Wanjing, she was with Empress Dou in Li Yuan's mansion. According to Meixian, she was a smart and resolute woman. Li Xiuning was the most similar to her mother. Unfortunately, she died before Li Yuan became emperor. The title of this queen was later posthumously named by Li Yuan. During Li Yuan's reign, she did not make another queen. At that time, Li Xiuning was only twelve years old.

Concubine Wan was a humble, gentle and polite person. When Li Yuan had just rebelled, he and Concubine Wan left him and Concubine Wan's son Li Zhiyun in Hedong. He was arrested and sent to Chang'an by local Sui Dynasty officials. The child was only fourteen years old at the time, so Li Yuan was apologized to Concubine Wan.

At that time, Li Xiuning lost her mother and Concubine Wan lost her son, so Concubine Wan treated Li Xiuning as her daughter and gave her meticulous care. So this time, Concubine Wan was the most troublesome to marry.

Li Yuan’s favorite people now are Concubine Yin De and Concubine Zhang Jieyu. He is more guilty and grateful to Concubine Wan. This woman who is indifferent to the world just stays in the *** and maintains a safe position. As long as Li Xiuning is still there, no one will make any decisions about her.

Concubine Yin De is the daughter of Yin Zuwen and belongs to our Holy Sect. She supports Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji. She formed an alliance with Zhang Jieyu in the palace, win over officials from all over the country, and framed Li Shimin. The power of ** is still very huge. In addition, Li Yuan is lustful, which makes Li Shimin a headache. If Li Xiuning had not taken the tough stance, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

In the historical books written by Li Shimin after he became emperor, such as in the "Old Book of Tang", it says that Concubine Yin De and Zhang Jieyu had an improper relationship with Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, which is not credible. It is said that there is no reason to be a crime to be added. Historians have no moral integrity. They have always had the tradition of smearing losers. In order to please Li Shimin, they made Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji useless.

According to our information, Li Yuan still had strong control at this time, and Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji did not have the courage to do something in the world. Although Li Tang had the blood of the Hu people and the Hu people also had the tradition of making chaos, I think Li Yuan would not tolerate such things happening.

Although Li Yuan’s ** is chaotic now, he is never **.

"It's really messy to hear you say this **, like a farce." I sighed.

The favorite thing to describe in various popular palace dramas in later generations is the intrigue between the concubines. The more tragic, vicious, and tortuous it is, the more popular it is. For example, in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the female author explained the truth of "the most poisonous woman's heart".

Every woman can become vicious, as long as she has tried what is jealousy.

"Since ancient times, ** has been a place of right and wrong. Queen Dugu had the courage to keep Yang Jian in a tight position." Meixian admired.

The Queen Dugu mentioned by Meixian was the founding queen of the Sui Dynasty. She was a firm monogamous feminist. She made Yang Jian swear that she would not marry other women and beat a woman that Yang Jian favored to to death. For this reason, Yang Jian just ran out to relax and finally went back obediently to continue being the emperor.

So Yang Jian is a standard wife who is strict in control. It is a frustrating thing to do as an emperor. Of course, I will not extend this topic. This is a very dangerous topic. It is very difficult to create a harmonious **, and perhaps it is impossible. It only exists in a fantasy world. I have a deep understanding of this.

"Do you observe that Concubine Yin De knows martial arts?" I asked.

"As Yin Zuwen's daughter, she naturally knows martial arts, but many concubines in the palace are the daughters of military generals, and they are more skilled in martial arts. It is said that the reason why Concubine Yin De was favored was because she captured Li Yuan's preferences. Li Yuan liked that kind of delicate women, so she pretended to be weak. With some of the methods of the Holy Sect, it was normal that she could win Li Yuan's favor, and that Concubine Zhang also looked sick." Meixian explained.

The King of Chu is so thin that he starved to death in the palace.

This is the principle that the superiors have something to like, and the subordinates must follow it. Those ministers, like the noble women, have tried their best to win the favor of the king.

"It seems that Yin Zuwen has made a big bet on Li Yuan. I heard that Yin Defei has a son, King Feng Li Yuanheng. Unfortunately, she is still young and has no qualifications to compete for the throne. Otherwise, Yin Zuwen would never support Li Yuanji." I sighed.

"It's hard to say. Maybe his plan is the same as Yang Xuyan. Even if he supports Li Yuanji, he may have other plans." Meixian guessed, "When King Feng grows up, he will get rid of Li Yuanji. The reason why Yin Zuwen supports King Qi is probably because Li Yuanji is easy to control."

"That's what happened ten years later!"

These people think about doing things in a long way. They can lie dormant for several years for the throne. If Li Yuan remained in power, it would be not without a chance to wait until Concubine Yin De's son grew up. At that time, at least they would be eliminated with Li Yuan and Li Yuanji. Then Yin Zuwen could be tyrannical as a relative, and even deposed his grandson like Yang Jian to become the emperor. In name, it was abdication.

"Yang Xuyan can fight for a child of nothingness. Yin Zuwen has at least seen hope." Meixian commented, "Once such a thing is successful, it will be a lifetime of glory. Even if the dynasty changes, it is possible. This is how all dynasties have come here."

This is the story of the royal family. For the sake of the throne, these people are already crazy. Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, Li Yuanji, Yang Xuyan, Yin Zuwen... and those who see and cannot see are all busy running around and busy about it, including me and Meixian.

Countless conspiracies and persuasions are brewing and fermenting in Chang'an City, waiting for the moment of tomorrow to break out. This makes me feel extremely tired. I just want to end all this as soon as possible, and then leave this place of right and wrong and live a peaceful and comfortable life.

"Are you not moved at all by the throne?" Meixian tentatively said.

"I just feel very tired," I said honestly.
