Jiang Nan's expression remained unchanged, but his breathing became slightly heavier.
Chen Yanli knew that she just didn't answer, it wasn't ignorance.
The emperor of the previous dynasty was ignorant, but there was an eldest princess who was very cunning. Before Gaozu's soldiers came to the city, she stood on the tower to confront the enemy with her eight-month pregnant belly.
The battle of trapped beasts also made Gaozu unable to attack for a long time, and his morale was low. Some people even suggested that Gaozu occupy the land and become king, abandon the imperial capital and not attack, and rest and recuperate in order to pursue great achievements in the future.
The world is at your fingertips, when it comes to the last moment, how can Gao Zu back down?
Gao Zu asked Xi Zuo to buy the son-in-law, and when the eldest princess was weak after giving birth, the son-in-law opened the city gate to welcome Gao Zu's army.
The previous dynasty was thus broken.
The eldest princess has a very high prestige among the people in the imperial capital. Although the soldiers are not tired of deceit on the battlefield, but on the day when the city was broken, Gao Zu used the most indiscriminate tricks. Once a person is in a high position, he cannot tolerate the slightest criticism.
The dynasties were changed, and the royal family of the previous dynasty was slaughtered. The hundred-year-old family in the imperial capital surrendered and killed, but the eldest princess and her newborn daughter were left alone.
On the day Gaozu came to the throne, the eldest princess slashed her son-in-law on the tower, and then jumped down, blood staining the imperial capital, and everyone was terribly sad.
On the day of the founding of the country, Gao Zu felt very bad luck, the world was not easy to come by, in order to buy people's hearts, but also to show generosity and righteousness, he gritted his teeth and made the eldest princess' daughter the county head.
A baby girl waiting to be fed, what is there to be afraid of?
But after all, it is the blood left over from the royal family of the previous dynasty, so it has a lot of murderous intentions if it hinders the eyes of many people.
The eldest princess's old department did everything possible to move the county head to Leshan, the westernmost place, to live for a long time without contending with the world for decades.
"That woman is the only daughter of the county head of the Liang family in Leshan, the head of Leping County."
The woman Chen Yanli was talking about was the concubine brought back by Xie Yun when he returned to Beijing this time.
The Liang family in Leshan only had the title of county lord, and men were not allowed to serve as officials in the court. Only the eldest daughter could inherit the title of county lord, and females were respected.
Jiang Nan asked in surprise: "Could it be that you came here to see the prince's outer room?"
"Otherwise? Who would come here to drink tea?" Chen Yanli smiled meaningfully.
"It seems that many people know about it." Jiang Nan sighed.
"There is no one in the imperial capital who does not keep an eye on the prince's words and deeds, but if he really wants to hide it, he can't hide it! He brought the county head into the capital in a low-key manner, surrounded by habayashi guards, and came here every now and then. This freshness is not over yet!" Chen Yanli signaled Jiang Nan to enter the tea room.
In the tea room that Chen Yanli ordered, the two stood in front of the window. The back door of the small courtyard was blocked by a big tree, but the view of this tea room could go beyond the courtyard wall and see the door of the west wing.
Jiang Nan ignored the teasing in Chen Yanli's tone, and said flatly: "Gao Zu once ordered that the Liang family in Leshan should not intermarry with the descendants of the Xie surname."
"Back then, Gaozu raised an army, and the momentum was like a broken bamboo. The emperor of the previous dynasty had allowed Gaozu to marry the eldest princess in order to recruit peace. Gaozu went happily, but was stopped by Empress Xiaoxian. She asked her servants to pretend to be Gaozu, and they were intercepted as soon as they entered the Imperial Capital Gate. Kill, no one in the whole team will survive!"
"If the marriage fails, you will become an enemy! If future generations intermarry with Leping County Lord, wouldn't so many people die in vain?" Chen Yanli stared sideways at Jiang Nan, she couldn't see any emotion in her eyes, she hid it extremely Well, he said with a smile, "So, we can only hide it secretly."
In an instant, these words pierced Jiang Nan's heart instantly, and roots took root on the soles of her feet, standing silently like a wooden figure without perception.
"Don't you think Leping County Lord is a little like you?"
Jiang Nan turned her head to refute: "I don't think so."
"No! It should be said that you have a three-point similarity with Leping County Lord."
Chen Yanli was noisy like a duck, Jiang Nan glared at him: "What's the difference?"
"The Lord Leping is at the front, and you are at the back."
"..."
Jiang Nan's eyes ignited raging fire: "What evidence is there?"
"When the prince tied his hair, he traveled with Du Jian for a year. During this period, he met the county magistrate, and the two had many correspondences."
Probably unacceptable, Jiang Nan didn't know how to react after hearing this, and said sarcastically: "You even know this? Your hands are quite long!"
"The imperial capital seems to be calm now, but it has already been bloody inside." Chen Yanli was worried.
Jiang Nan was puzzled: "Then you are not thinking about how to protect yourself above the court, and come here to sneak a look at the prince's outer room?"
"I'm curious! I'm curious about what kind of woman can compare you to." Chen Yanli raised his eyes and squinted at Jiang Nan.
"..."
Jiang Nan couldn't find the right words for a while, so she scolded Chen Yanli.
"Don't believe me? Look!" Chen Yanli raised his eyes at Jiang Nan, motioning her to look over.
The door to the west wing of the small courtyard was opened, Xie Yun straightened his clothes and came out, the Leping county magistrate followed behind him.
The distance was too far, I couldn't see the expressions of those two people, and I didn't know what they were talking about.
The sky was full of sunset, and the circle of light dazzled people's eyes one after another, causing soft ripples in the whole small courtyard.
Xie Yun seemed to be aware of it, and looked up towards the direction of the second floor of the teahouse. Jiang Nan subconsciously turned around, hid in a corner, and disappeared.
Chen Yanli hugged a potted flower to cover his face, seeing Jiang Nan like a frightened bird, it was quite funny, but the next second he saw her look like weeping, and couldn't bear it.
"Don't worry, she can't replace your crown princess." After Chen Yanli comforted her, she suddenly felt something was wrong. Is this comfort?Are you sure this isn't mocking?
Jiang Nan didn't return to him, but found a chair and sat there blankly, not knowing what to think or what to think.
Like a statue, sitting motionless until dark.
The waiter in the teahouse knocked on the door and came in to light the lamp: "You two? Do you want more tea?"
Jiang Nan regained her composure, and her calm eyes fluctuated slightly. She turned her head and saw that Chen Yanli was still there, and asked in surprise, "He's gone, why don't you go?"
"Then why don't you leave?" Chen Yanli asked back.
Jiang Nan was very depressed, unwilling to say anything, got up and left.
The shops in the streets and alleys hang up lanterns, and the location of Shunxin Teahouse is not considered the center. It is cold at night, and there are few pedestrians on the street.
Jiang Nan abandoned the sedan chair and walked slowly on the desolate streets, inexplicably giving people a feeling of being lost, Chen Yanli followed uneasy.
"It's getting late, don't you want to go back to the East Palace?"
"..." Jiang Nan didn't answer, and walked aimlessly. I don't know if he pretended not to hear what Chen Yanli said, or if he heard it and didn't want to answer it.
Chen Yanli was not annoyed, but instead followed the temptation: "The five elements restrain each other, which means restraining the ruthless; the five elements coexist, which means the circulation of sentient beings. As for numerology, I have a little superficial understanding, but I also know that your horoscopes are in conflict, so it is not a good match."
"A good match? How can there be a good match in this world? But tolerance is the most important thing! Which man doesn't have a few concubines? Don't you have one too?" Jiang Nan smiled lightly.
"???" Chen Yanli frowned.
"I don't believe in fate! If there are gods and Buddhas in this world, they must not be good people. Otherwise, why can't we see the suffering in the world?"
