"Oh? What is the mother saying?" Li Yan said in surprise. Concubine Yang guessed that even if she came forward, it would be effective. It seemed that this matter was indeed difficult.

Concubine Yang said angrily: "What else can it be? Isn't it your father? You said he is so old, but he still doesn't know how to cherish his body. This autumn, he brought a group of people to the mountains to hunt. As a result, he encountered a tiger. He was still arrogant and refused to let others help. He took a bow and arrow to shoot the tiger to death. In the end, although the tiger was shot to death, his arm was also slightly injured. This incident caused the ministers in the court to advise him, but I guess he didn't listen to him."

After hearing this, Li Yan felt a headache. He knew Li Shimin's character and knew that his father's genes were full of violent elements. In the past, there were some strong enemies around the Tang Dynasty, but Li Shimin beat them all into scum. Now he can't find an opponent, so Li Shimin had to vent his violent tendencies through hunting. So it was too difficult to persuade Li Shimin not to hunt.

"Mother, I will give my father a memorial, but I think the same as you, and I will probably not be of much use." Li Yan said helplessly at the end.

"That's all." Concubine Yang also smiled bitterly, "After this winter, it's time for spring hunting again. I guess your father has to go to Nanshan to hunt again. I must follow him at that time. Although some persuasion may not be useful, it's better than not."

Li Yan also nodded. Empress Changsun was in poor health and could not be with Li Shimin forever. Then the only one who could persuade Li Shimin was Yang Concubine.

"Mother, why didn't Shengping come with you this time?" Li Yan suddenly remembered his little sister. Speaking of which, Shengping is already fourteen years old, one year older than Chou Chou. However, because Li Yan is away all year round, the brother and sister don't meet often.

When Yang Fei heard this, she held her forehead with her hand and said helplessly: "Look at my memory, I came to Taiwan to see your third brother off, and almost forgot to tell you a big happy event."

"What kind of happy event? Could it be that Sister Shengping has promised her?" Xin also said with surprise at this time. Although Shengping was only fourteen, the princesses of the Tang Dynasty usually got engaged early and got married early. Later, after Li Yan's persuasion, Li Shimin made rules in the palace. The princess would still get engaged early, but they had to wait until they were eighteen years old to get married.

"It's not that Shengping is still young, and I don't want her to agree to others so early. When she gets older, it's not too late to agree to others if she has his own opinions." After hearing this, Concubine Yang smiled.

When Li Yan heard this, he praised loudly: "The mother's idea is good. A woman's marriage is a lifelong thing. She must be satisfied with herself. But don't be like Xuzi, who are eighteen-year-old girls, but she has not been able to make a marriage yet!"

Speaking of which, Yizi is also a natural beauty, appearance, talent and character among princesses. In addition, she is Li Shimin's favorite daughter. She is also Li Shimin's favorite sister. Therefore, she was sought after by countless young handsome men a few years ago, and there were many proposing marriages among the aristocratic families. However, Yizi did not take any of them. Li Shimin and Empress Changsun could not bear to force her, so they had to drag her around. For this reason, Li Yan was very anxious and even personally helped Yizi find several young people with good looks. But Yizi also rejected them.

When she heard Li Yan mention Wei Zi, Concubine Yang smiled and said, "Don't worry about Wei Zi. Before I came, I felt that this girl might have a sweetheart. But after that, the big happy event I mentioned was that Caier was pregnant again. Shengping and Caier had the best relationship. This time I stayed in Chang'an to accompany Caier. The imperial doctor said that Caier would give birth by May next year!"

"What, it's great!" Li Yan shouted excitedly when he heard that he was interested. When he heard that Yizi had something to do, he was anxious to ask, but after hearing about Caier's pregnancy, his heart was immediately filled with this incident, and his face was full of surprise.

It turned out that Li Zhi and Caier got married a few years ago. Miss Hu Yuyi, who met Li Zhi in Taiwan, also married him as Liang Di. After marriage, Caier got pregnant quickly, but unfortunately she gave birth to a daughter. On the contrary, Hu Yuyi gave birth to a son. Caier was able to become the crown princess at the time because of Li Yan's support and Li Zhi's own persistence. Her status was not stable, so she urgently needed a son to consolidate her status. Unfortunately, after giving birth to a daughter, she did not get pregnant for a long time, which made Concubine Yang, the aunt, very anxious. Unexpectedly, Caier finally got pregnant again this time.

Next, Li Yan asked about Caier's physical condition and how she had a relationship with Li Zhi. When she learned that everything was fine, she felt relieved. Finally, Li Yan asked: "Mother, you said that Yizi had a lover just now. What's going on?"

When she mentioned this, Concubine Yang smiled before she could speak: "When it comes to Yizi, this girl really has an idea. Since she was thirteen years old, people have been proposing marriages to her. But at the beginning, she said she wanted to find a husband like Liulang, but although our Tang Dynasty is big, she really can't find a second Liulang."

When Concubine Yang said this, she looked at Li Yan with a proud look. Her son was a recognized genius and could not even be described as a genius. She established a country overseas with her own strength and ascended the throne as emperor. Moreover, the strength of Da Qi is not worse than that of the Tang Dynasty. The students of Shilin and even historians all believed that Li Yan could be compared with Li Shimin, creating an unprecedented overall situation for the descendants of Yan and Huang. Whenever she heard others' evaluation of Li Yan, Concubine Yang felt extremely proud.

After hearing this, Li Yan smiled bitterly. Wei Zi's personality is soft and hard on the inside. Moreover, due to the influence of her growth environment, she has a tendency to love her father and brother in choosing a spouse. Don't think that this is a pervert. In fact, most women have the tendency to love her father and brother. When choosing a spouse, they will also choose those who have the same temperament as their father and brother. This is very normal.

It’s nothing to come to this ordinary woman, but Xuzi’s father and brother are both emperors throughout the ages. It’s a miracle that they can have two in the same era. It’s impossible for her to find a third root, so Xuzi’s marriage has been delayed for five years, and she hasn’t found a man that makes her heart moved. However, what Yang Fei told him next made Li Yan feel like he was turning around.

It turned out that when Empress Changsun was sick this year, Wei Zi made a female crown for a while in a Taoist temple outside Chang'an City, preparing to pray for her mother.

The so-called female crown is actually female Taoist priests. The upper aristocrats of the Tang Dynasty believe in Taoism. Some aristocrats often become monks and women for some reasons. However, Taoists cannot help but get married, so these female crowns can get married immediately as long as they take off their Taoist robe. This trend of making female crowns is very popular among aristocrats. Most of them are like Yizi, who prays for their relatives and can only make a female crown.

Wei Zi has a special identity. In order not to let others harass her, the news of her becoming a female crown was naturally strictly blocked. Even the Taoist temple where Wei Zi became a monk was specially selected. Apart from a few female Taoist priests, there were no other idle people in the Taoist temple, and there were also many guards on the outside.

It was a coincidence that one morning, a group of students from the Imperial College went out for fun. When they just walked to the Taoist temple where Yizi became a monk, they suddenly encountered heavy rain. Therefore, they went to the temple to avoid it for a while. As a result, they saw Yizi wearing Taoist robe, which shocked them immediately. Several frivolous students even wrote poems on the spot and expressed their love to Yizi in a gentle manner.

Unfortunately, this annoyed Yizi and drove them out. At that time, the students were so embarrassed by the heavy rain. However, one of them, a young scholar named Shangguan Tingzhi, really had a true love for Yizi. After being driven out of the Taoist temple, he did not hide from the rain. He just stood outside the gate and did not leave. Later, other female Taoist priests pity him and gave him a straw coat to prevent him from getting sick.

For the next period of time, Shangguan Tingzhi was a must-see every day. At first, Weizi thought that the other party was the same as his previous suitor, and he didn't care about it or meet him. However, Shangguan Tingzhi was really a seed of infatuation. The Taoist temple did not allow him to enter, so he sat under a pine tree outside the Taoist temple, and he was not idle when waiting. He either played the piano or practiced calligraphy. When the inspiration came, he would write a few love poems to send them to the temple.

Later, Shangguan Tingzhi learned from a female Taoist priest in the Taoist temple that Yizi was here to pray for her mother. He also wanted to find out which lady Yizi was from, but unfortunately the other party refused to say it.

However, after learning that Eizi was here to pray for blessings, Shangguan Tingzhi immediately made a change. Although he still arrived every day, he no longer asked for a meeting. Instead, he sat under a pine tree outside the Taoist temple and copied the Taoist hiding to pray for Eizi to her mother, and he copied it for several months.

It was also considered that Shangguan Tingzhi was lucky. Since he began copying the Daozang, Empress Changsun's condition has gradually improved. As a result, this made Yizi very happy. At the same time, she was no longer so cold to Shangguan Tingzhi, and occasionally invited the other party to sit in Guanzhong.

After real contact with Yizi, Shangguan Tingzhi's love for Yizi increased, but he was a scholar and had a thin skin, so he was embarrassed to say some words, and he could only use some actions to express his love.

Speaking of Shangguan Tingzhi's family background is average, his talent and knowledge are not particularly outstanding, and his appearance is very handsome, but Xuzi is not that kind of shallow woman. Moreover, Shangguan Tingzhi cannot meet Xuzi's previous requirements for choosing a spouse from any perspective.

But no one can explain the relationship clearly. After a period of contact, Yizi really felt a little moved by Shangguan Tingzhi. This may be what people often say is the love that has been in love over time.

Even Empress Changsun's illness was cured, and she did not leave the Taoist temple, but still contacted Shangguan Tingzhi as a female crown. Until now, the Shangguan Tingzhi capital still did not know the true identity of Yizi. However, the three generations of Shangguan Tingzhi's ancestors have been investigated clearly by Li Shimin.
