Chapter 5 Webster's Request
"My memory, Chen Yi, has seen the Crown Prince, and the Crown Princess!" Chen Yi respectfully saluted Li Xian and Wei who were welcomed by him. He was a little puzzled. Why did Wei not avoid suspicion at this time? He, a popular man in front of Wu Zetian, came to see Li Xian, and she actually came out to meet him. At this time, what does it have to do with her, the Crown Princess? Did Li Xian listen to Wei's orders now?
Although there were doubts, Chen Yi did not dare to be rude. Li Xian also forced himself to calm down and replied to Chen Yi. Compared with that, Wei was much calmer than Li Xian, who had a stronger self-destination, which made Chen Yi even more suspicious.
After the wedding, Li Xian did not change much from his appearance, but compared to the previous few years, he seemed a little older and more steady, with a little old-fashioned look, but today he looked a little uncomfortable. It turned out that he was frightened in front of Wu Zetian last time and had never recovered. Today, when he heard him, the person who came to meet him, was worried and couldn't help but show it on his face.
If Chen Yi was not wrong, Li Xian was only nineteen years old today, and Wei should be two years younger than him. Seeing the scene, Wei was even more mature than Li Xian. At least Chen Yi didn't see the kind of self-seducation on Wei's face. This woman seemed quite calm and supported Li Xian twice from time to time, making people feel that it was a scent of giving Li Xian courage. When he saw this scene again, Chen Yi was surprised and looked at Wei with further admiration.
Wei was originally a beauty, but she was also a kind of beauty with pure temperament. In this case, she became more and more calm and composed. Chen Yi could only sigh again that historical celebrities were really different from ordinary people, even when he was young. Women like Wei should have extraordinary children. In historical records, there is not a person named Princess Anle who wants to imitate Princess Taiping and be a princess, and it is even rumored that Wei and Princess Anle poisoned Li Xian, who was the emperor, and it was really a dragon and a phoenix.
But what's strange is that Li Xian has been married for more than two years, but Wei has never been pregnant. Chen Yi has no way of knowing what their children are like, at least there is no way to know now.
After interceding each other, the three of them walked into the hall, but did not speak in the main hall. Li Xian knew that Chen Yi was here by his mother's order today. He wanted to tell him some important things and directly led Chen Yi into the inner room. Although Chen Yi was also the leader of the crown prince's right guard and had some days on duty in the East Palace, most of the affairs were handed over to the deputy guard Liang Jishou. The matters in the East Palace were not very familiar with, and Li Xian stayed at even fewer places. He was very unfamiliar with the inner room where Li Xian led him into, but when he went in, he saw that the inner room was well sealed, he was relieved.
Wei still did not avoid suspicion and followed him in. Li Xian did not mean to let her retreat, which made Chen Yi even more sure. Li Xian was a "wife who was strict in charge" and had to make Wei's decisions in many things. It was also possible that Wei used some means to make Li Xian willingly follow her suggestions and arrangements, and Chen Yi could only think about it this way.
As soon as he entered the inner room, Li Xian abandoned the identity of the prince and called Chen Yi the relatives. He also showed great affection and humility: "Zi Ying, these days, Xian has done something wrong. He really wanted to apologize to the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother refused to see her, which made Xian very depressed! Zi Ying, you are Xian's cousin-in-law. When you come to me today, you must have something to advise Xian! Haha, just give me instructions if you have anything to say!"
Li Xian's performance was so close that Chen Yi was surprised again. He didn't know how to say the opening remark that he had originally planned, so he could only smile awkwardly and politely said: "Your Highness, you are polite. Today, I came to invite you to see Your Highness, but I just wanted to say a few words to Your Highness. I can't be so polite. It's really a shame!"
Before Li Xian could speak again, Wei, who was on the other side, smiled and said, "Chen Dajian, don't be so polite! The prince has never regarded you as an outsider. He has done something wrong these days, but no one can ask for advice. He originally wanted to visit Chen Dajian at the mansion, but he was afraid of gossiping, so he was depressed. Since Chen Dajian has come to the East Palace today, let's talk some things with the prince and persuade the prince!"
"The Crown Princess is so serious, I am humble, how dare I guide the Crown Prince!" Chen Yi said, smiling at Wei, and then turned to Li Xian, "I dare not be the Crown Prince to visit the house in person. If the Crown Prince wants to see me, I have to talk to me about something, even if I send someone to spread it, as long as I am not passed by the Queen, I will definitely come to the East Palace to see His Highness!" Wei's interruption just now proved her status in the East Palace. Many things may be her. Chen Yi was a little curious. He has only been married for a few years and Li Xian has not suffered a major blow. Why did he obey Wei's words and let her show her strongly? Is it really because of his personality?
"Is Ziying taking what he said seriously?" Li Xian was a little surprised and grabbed Chen Yi's hand: "If this is true, that's great. Today, Xian has long wanted to ask you for advice from Ziying, but he has always been afraid that it will make his mother even more annoyed, so he dare not! Today, Ziying must have very important words to say to Xian, so Xian listens with politeness!" As he said that, he gave Wei a look.
Wei understood and stood up. Yingying bowed to Chen Yifu: "Chen Dajian, I will leave first. Please give up more advice from the prince. The prince is unwilling to eat these days and cannot sleep at night. Don't mention how worried he is. I really hope that Chen Dajian can help the prince get rid of his worries. I thanked him here!" As he said that, he gave a polite smile to Chen Yi, and then turned around and left gracefully.
Looking at Wei's leaving figure, Chen Yi sighed again and said something like a strange woman. He turned to look at Li Xian, and his expression became serious. He did not deliberately lower his voice and said, "Your Highness, the Queen, in fact, I am sending a few words to Your Highness today at the Queen's will!" Chen Yi knew that Wei would not go far, so he must have hid in a nearby corner and eavesdropped. He did not intend to hide it from him, nor did he lower his voice to speak.
Although it was already expected, Li Xian was still a little frightened when he said this from Chen Yi. He asked quickly: "What does the mother want your son to pass on? Please tell Xian as soon as possible!"
"The Empress said that the Crown Prince was well-behaved and obedient since childhood, and was a filial son. He was deeply favored by His Majesty and the Empress. This is also the main reason why he opposed the public and made you the crown prince two years ago. I also hope that the crown prince can think about the empress in many things!" Chen Yi said it very meaningful and his speaking speed was very slow. I hope Li Xian could understand the meaning of these words that Wu Zetian asked him to pass on.
"Ah!" Li Xian exclaimed in a low voice, obviously not fully understanding the meaning of Chen Yi's message. However, he only thought for a moment and immediately understood what this sentence meant. His handsome face changed a little, but he forced a ugly smile and replied: "Please tell the queen of the mother. If Xian remembers her words, he will definitely listen to the queen of the mother in the future and be filial to him at all times!"
Seeing a sentence made Li Xian so scared. Chen Yi wanted to laugh a little, but it was nothing ridiculous to think about it, so he forced himself to hold it back. He continued: "The Empress has a few more words to tell the Crown Prince that she said that the Prime Minister has performed more obediently than the Crown Prince over the years. The Empress hopes that the Crown Prince can be more filial to his parents like the Prime Minister, and listen to the Empress more!
"Ah! What?" These words suddenly turned Li Xian's face pale. He stood up and looked at Chen Yi at a loss. He didn't know what to say. Chen Yi also heard the sound of something knocking down behind the screen a little further away. He thought that it must be the eavesdropping of Wei, who was frightened, knocking over something.
Chen Yi stopped saying anything and stood up and bowed to the frightened Li Xian: "Your Highness, today I am just here to pass on a few private words from the Empress, and I also asked Your Highness to remember them. When my words were passed, I dare not disturb Your Highness again. I will say goodbye now!" He also admired Wu Zetian. He actually thought of letting him pass on these words!
These words sound like a few words of complaints from a mother to her naughty and disobedient son, but it is not simple to say that this kind of words expressed by Wu Zetian to express her complaints about Li Xian. The meaning is too heavy. Of course, the core meaning is that Wu Zetian is very dissatisfied with the performance of the prince Li Xian during this period. Li Xian did not show enough respect for her mother's queen. Li Xian's performance is far inferior to his younger brother Prince Li Dan! It is not necessary to explain. Wu Zetian's ultimate meaning is to express her disappointment with Li Xian's performance since he was the crown prince, and even had the idea of restructuring and destruction. If Li Xian doesn't understand this meaning, then he will be Wu Zetian's son and don't be the prince. Let's leave the palace as soon as possible to herd cattle!
Of course, Li Xian understood the meaning of Wu Zetian's words passed down by Chen Yi. Of course, he was very excited and surprised. He really didn't expect that his mother was so disappointed with him. She wanted to cry in panic and didn't know how to explain it. She just stared at Chen Yi blankly. When Chen Yi said goodbye, he also mechanically replied, and he couldn't even say what to say he wanted to explain!
Seeing this, Chen Yi sighed slightly, bowed again, and said nothing. Gu Zi walked out of the inner room and prepared to leave the Wude Hall in the main hall of the Eastern Palace, and return to the Daming Palace to report to Wu Zetian! But just as Chen Yi stepped out of the Wude Hall with one foot, a crisp and anxious woman's voice sounded: "Chen Dajian, please stay. I have some things to ask Chen Dajian for help!"
Hearing the anxious call, Chen Yi sighed and stopped, turned around and saluted respectfully: "Crown Princess, please give me some instructions if you have anything to do!" Who else would call him? Naturally, it is Li Xian's Crown Princess Wei!
"Chun Chen, please talk here!" The calm Wei returned the greeting to Chen Yi and made a gesture of invitation.
"Please, Crown Princess!" Seeing that the direction Wei was invited was not indoors, but gardens, Chen Yi felt a sudden thought, but he immediately extinguished the idea, followed Wei with his head down, and walked towards the garden in the hall.
I don’t know if it was Wei’s special order or something. I didn’t see any palace servants serving in this garden near Wude Hall, and it seemed very quiet. It was already early summer. It rained again last night. The garden was fresh, and there were many flowers that Chen Yi had not famous for blooming, but at this time he did not feel at all about enjoying the beautiful scenery. He was muttering in his heart that Wei called him to say something!
Chen Yi knew that Wei hid aside and eavesdropped when he was talking to Li Xian just now. In order to make her hear clearly, she deliberately did not lower her voice and believed that Wei had heard the few words he said. These words made Li Xian scared and felt that the position of the prince was threatened. Wei, who was extremely intelligent, must have such a feeling. It was precisely because of this feeling that he called her out, but Chen Yi didn't know what Wei wanted to say to him, whether to ask, ask, ask, or plead for mercy, and let him take the place in front of Wu Zetian.
Li Xian said a few beautiful words? He believed it was the latter. Everyone knew how much he was favored by Wu Zetian. If he had a few beautiful words in front of Wu Zetian, a person's fate might have changed significantly. This law applies to many people. But Chen Yi wanted to say that this situation was not suitable for Li Xian, because Li Xian was the crown prince. How would Wu Zetian stop Li Xian from doing anything because of some of his words. However, before Wu Zetian's position completely changed, a few beautiful words for Li Xian may have some effect.
After walking to a hidden enclosure, Wei stood still, turned to face Chen Yi, showing a pitiful look, and said to Chen Yi softly: "Chen Dajian, I heard what you and the prince just now! I know that the Empress was dissatisfied with the Prince in this incident, but the Prince did nothing. He once told me that it is a blessing for the Tang Dynasty to take charge of the court on behalf of Your Majesty. Now the Tang Dynasty is rich and the people are strong, and the four barbarians come to subdue it. The level of strength is greater than that of any era in history. This is the merit of the Empress. The Prince admires the Empress very much and hopes that the Empress will continue to take charge of the court on behalf of Your Majesty for a few years. The Prince realizes that his talent and ability is far inferior to that of the Empress, and he will never dare to succeed to the throne and become emperor at this time, as it will definitely cause chaos in the Tang Dynasty!"
Hearing Wei's explanation so eagerly, Chen Yi couldn't think of what to say at once, so he could only sigh and said, "Crown Princess, you are too worried. The Empress still loves His Highness. This time she just asked me to tell His Highness a few words!"
"No, I know, it's the Empress who is dissatisfied with His Highness the Prince!" Wei's pretty face showed excitement, and immediately turned into a pitiful look, and asked again: "Chen Dajian, I know that the Empress listens to you very much, so I ask you to say a few good things to the Prince in front of the Empress, and say that the Prince has always listened to the Empress. This time, the Prince has no expression. It's only the Empress's order! I'm grateful!"
Wei said, and he stepped forward regardless of everything to grab Chen Yi's arm, shook his head and requested. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, her plump breasts were half attached to Chen Yi's arm, and rubbed with the shaking movement, which made Chen Yi's heart feel excited.
This woman has a good chest, but what do she want to do like this? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile phone users please read it.)
