Chapter 29 Dinner

I thought Jincheng was also going to attend the dinner, but when Xue Chongxun released the things and went to Zichen Palace, she was nowhere to be seen.

Come out from Chengxiang Hall where Princess Taiping lives, walk south along the west bank of Taijichichi, and then walk a few feet wide avenue to Zichen Hall.

After Taiping moved into the Daming Palace, he often went to Zichen Hall to meet ministers, envoys, banquets, etc.

As Taiping said, many princesses were invited at the dinner, most of whom were women from the lineage of Zhongzong Li Xian and Supreme Emperor Li Dan.

Seeing this situation reminded Xue Chongxun of his former new wife Princess Anle.

The daughter of Zhongzong and Empress Wei was particularly favored, but was slashed by a rioter in a coup, so Xue Chongxun lost his wife.

Princess Taiping's four sons first had three kings, but Xue Chongxun was not. One reason was that he had no credit, and the second might be that Princess Anle was his wife.

Princess Anle is deeply favored by Queen Wei, and when the relationship is raised, Xue Chongxun is also implicated a little...

However, things in the world are impermanent, and now he has turned over and has become Taiping's most trusted son.

Pay attention to their clothes. Some of them are already married, but the prince-in-law has not come with them.Taiping said to Xue Chongxun sitting on the lower side.

Xue Chongxun was thinking about Jincheng in his heart, and there was no other thoughts, so he casually said: But let my mother be the leader.He didn't like Princess Anle who was promised to him before, but it was just that, it was just a marriage.

The musicians were clamoring hard, and a group of women were dancing in circles behind the first railing in the hall, and people were all very happy.

At this time, Taiping said again: The third position on the right is Princess Huo. I heard that she gave you something?She raised her long sleeves and couldn't help but smile, "Is it a token of love?"

After this reminder, Xue Chongxun remembered that he did receive a handkerchief last year with two words embroidered on it.

Before he could see Princess Huo, he looked in the direction that Taiping pointed...

I was stunned: Why are you so fat?

Xue Chongxun's face had become very ugly.

Taiping saw it and felt clear, so he pointed at him a few more times, and some of them were not good at looking at his appearance.

Only then did Xue Chongxun truly understand that the princess and princesses are also women, and beauties are the few after all.

Not satisfied?Taiping frowned.

Xue Chongxun was puzzled. In theory, his mother was already very kind to him. He personally asked Xu Xian (Princess Anle in front) about him and asked him to choose among so many princesses. What kind of treatment is this?

If none of them looks down on me, do you take yourself too seriously?

He said in a very embarrassing way: Mother, don’t worry about this, right?

As expected, Taiping was a little angry, and he stopped his smile and said coldly: Don’t think about Jincheng as soon as possible!How can the country's major policies be allowed to be played?I think Huo Guo is good. She is the emperor's biological daughter. That's it!

In Taiping's eyes, the feelings for the Supreme Emperor Li Dan are subtle. She executed several of Li Dan's sons, but was very good to her daughter. Is it a compensatory mentality?

Xue Chongxun looked at Princess Huo on the right seat in shock. She also looked over, her face turned slightly red, and a cute and silly expression appeared on her fat face...

Xue Chongxun almost spit out the cheese he had eaten just now.

Originally, Huo Guo was not ugly, but according to the Tang people's eyes, he was really pretty. Unfortunately, Xue Chongxun had seen many beauties and naturally he was not interested in such people.

Just as I am used to eating delicacies from mountains and seas, it is difficult to swallow it after eating bran.

If Huo Guo was brought home, he really didn't want to touch him. Isn't this harming others or himself?

Mother, you Rong Erchen's words... Xue Chongxun hurriedly wanted to persuade him.

When Taiping got angry, her domineering temperament came up: Didn’t you just say that you should listen to me?You are about to be named King of Hedong. The dignified prince does not have a princess. Ministers and foreigners should not laugh at me for being inappropriate?This matter is settled early, so you can avoid being unstable and affecting the overall situation.

But Huo Guo is really worse than Princess Anle. Princess Anle was at least a great beauty, right?

Xue Chongxun hurriedly said: Since it is a successor, the son does not need to marry a princess as a wife again.

Taiping said angrily: You and Princess Anle have no children, so you must marry the Li Tang royal family. Do you still need me to do this?

As expected, every time they quarrel with their mother after dinner, is it destined that the mother and son cannot have dinner together?

Taiping was unhappy, and Xue Chongxun was even more unhappy. The most beautiful princess gave him away, but he had to pick him among a group of bad guys. After picking him, he was not that kind of thing.

He is not a good person to talk to, and he is not angry as soon as he gets up: I won’t marry you!Is it okay to be a monk?

presumptuous!

Taiping shouted angrily.

This sound immediately alarmed everyone in the hall, and the musician also stopped playing tactfully. The dancer behind the railing lowered her long sleeves and gently left the stage. The hall suddenly became quiet and looked at Taiping on the throne with a surprised and fearful look.

Xue Chongxun looked at her mother in shock, wondering what she was going to do.At this time, Taiping took a deep breath, stood up, and said coldly: I want to go back to the palace to rest, you can continue to make trouble.

Everyone said: I’ll give you my best wishes.

Taiping looked at Xue Chongxun who was still sitting and said coldly: Why are you still sitting and doing? Come with me!

Xue Chongxun glanced at the grape wine, crab roe Biluo, steamed sheep, etc. on the table. Before he could finish his stomach, he had to respond and get up and leave the table to follow Princess Taiping.

With the help of the two, the mother and son got on a carriage, but Xue Chongxun's favor was not reduced.

In the spacious car, the two looked at each other speechlessly.

Xue Chongxun sighed in his heart that even if he reached an unspeakable position, there were still many things that he could not decide on, just like marriage. Not to mention the royal family, even the big families with some family status considered family marriage first, rather than love for men and women.

He had already understood this rule, but when things happened to him, he still felt a lot of displeasure.

When he saw the princesses' appearance and behavior, he remembered Jincheng, who was like a fairy, which was simply incomparable, and even more so that he thought of Jincheng's goodness.

Beautiful, gentle and dignified. If you marry a wife like this, what else can your husband ask for?

At this time, he said a very childish sentence: Mother, don’t let other princesses marry, keep Jincheng behind.Is this called being arrogant because of favor?

Taiping sneered and refused to comment. After a moment, she said lightly: Last time I went to Penglai Palace to meet the Supreme Emperor, when I came out, a eunuch made a statement in front of me, saying that the Supreme Emperor wanted to pass the throne to Saburo, Princess Jincheng had advised him.

Xue Chongxun said: Then she used to be towards us.

Taiping said again: I have never heard of her interest in Taoism before, but I have heard of her going in and out of the Sanqing Palace frequently, and even the Emperor mentioned her in front of me.

At this time, Xue Chongxun understood what Taiping meant, which was nothing more than saying that Jin Cheng was too scheming and didn't like her.

She was still a little tender when she was playing tricks in front of me.Taiping said coldly.
