Empty White

Prince Anle, Lord Li… Lord Li… I can’t remember…

Before that year, I had never spoken to King Anle, and after the following year, I didn't know his name or surname.

Many years ago, when the late emperor ascended the throne, I met King Anle once.

A few years ago, the late emperor passed away, and I saw him again.

Come to think of it, before that year, I had only seen Prince Anle of Luoyang twice.

Prince Anle was born in Luoyang, and Princess Heng grew up in Luoyang.

The two of them have known each other since childhood and are as close as family.

Prince Anle entered the capital without permission, saying that he was there to celebrate Empress Dowager Feng's birthday.

As soon as the prince entered Chang'an, he first invited his childhood sweetheart, Lady Yuwen, to meet him.

Princess Heng was in Jingzhao and had no relatives, while Prince Anle came to Chang'an alone, so the two of them could be considered old friends meeting in a foreign land.

On the second day after the brother and sister met, Princess Heng came to me alone, smiling. She said, many years ago, Prince Anle accompanied his parents and brother to the capital to watch a ceremony. After leaving Chang'an and returning to Luoyang, he took off his fine clothes and entered Taoism...

She asked me, do you know why?

Whether King Anle becomes a monk, enters a tomb, shaves his hair, or cuts off his head, what the Li family's sons do has nothing to do with me.

I don't want to explore.

Without waiting for me to think or guess, Princess Heng told me with a smile.

"King Anle...it's all for you. I only learned yesterday that Your Majesty has been practicing Taoism for so many years just for you..."

Princess Heng's face was all smiles, but I wasn't moved at all.

Was it me who drew the bow and forced him to take off his clothes and join the Tao, or was it me who held the sword and forced him to remain single?

Here comes another Yan Xiang... I secretly feel disgusted.

"That year, Prince Anle first arrived in Chang'an and fell in love with you the moment he saw you. Unfortunately, you were forced to marry the then Crown Prince by order of the late Emperor. He refused to tell anyone about his feelings, kept them hidden in his heart, unknown to his parents and brothers. Since then, Prince Anle entered Taoism for you... You've misled him! Now, coincidentally, you've been deposed by the Sage, fallen out with the Yan family, and offended the entire Chang'an. You've lost face and your life, your reputation has long been shattered, and... your appearance has been ruined. Prince Anle is deeply devoted to you, and he doesn't mind your past affairs with musicians... dancers... He doesn't care about them. From the beginning, he treats you the same. As long as you swear not to do it again, you can marry him."

Princess Heng was speaking excitedly.

"Your Majesty, I have spoken these words only to you. I do not wish to burden Prince Anle with years of waiting, but today I have rashly decided to break the ice between you two. Your Majesty's secret thoughts, I have only spoken to you. You two are a match made in heaven, and if you can become a perfect match, it will be a great honor for us all."

She rejoices alone.

"The Empress Dowager was born in spring, and Prince Anle entered the capital in autumn. His heart is entirely with you. Your Majesty will remain in Chang'an until early summer next year, waiting for you. If you are willing to go to Luoyang with me, Your Majesty will ask the Empress Dowager for permission to marry you. Prince Anle will never force you. Your Majesty is very considerate... Look at him, my lady, what a fine man he is... Which Prince Li in Chang'an can compare to him?"

Her face was full of satisfaction.

"The Marquis of Luoyang is about to marry and move to Luoyang... After next year, I won't see you fighting with the Saint. Although it's a bit boring, it's not good for the two of you to fight to the death. It's not good for both of you to suffer losses. Your going to Luoyang will finally fulfill King Anle's long-cherished wish. This is a good thing."

Yuwen Wuyou, she made the decision on my marriage.

King Anle, what a brilliant plan.

He didn't say a word, he didn't reveal his face, he didn't spend a penny, and he didn't exert any strength.

I didn't get a single gold or silver benefit from him, but instead I owe him several years of time and countless affections.

He and I have only met twice in my life. Princess Heng thinks I owe him a debt for two lifetimes.

Madam Yuwen is straightforward and outspoken, without any scheming, and can be used as a verbal thug, making her the best use.

Among the sons of the Li family, apart from the late emperor, Prince Anle is the most scheming.

If a saint had his kind of heart, I would have died a thousand times over.

If Li Erlang were like him, he wouldn't have to guard Tonghua Gate day and night.

If Li Sanlang were like him, I would have been tortured to pieces long ago.

The struggle for the position of crown prince, the position of crown prince, the position of emperor, has been an endless struggle since birth. If a saint is a good person, I will look down on him.

Counting from my three generations ago, there is not a single good person. If I am kind and soft-hearted, I will really let down the three generations of poisonous blood.

Prince Anle, a wealthy and idle prince living in Luoyang, has never seen the good fortune of Concubine Guo in his life. However, he is as scheming as a swamp and as cunning as drizzling rain. It seems that he is a born evil person.

He has never known my true appearance, but he has fallen deeply in love with me just by looking at my pretty face. He is nothing more than a man who is attracted by beauty, and he doesn't deserve a good word from others.

He is scheming, manipulative, and calculating. He wants me to feel guilty before I fall in love with him.

dream!

If you like being a Taoist priest, then continue to be one.

He feels that I owe him a lot of affection, so I'll just keep it...

King Anle's mind is unfathomable. He was planning to marry me then, and he will also be plotting to kill me in the future.

Princess Heng said that his mind was clear, but to me it looked as muddy as mud.

He played tricks on me, so I played tricks on him back.

Princess Heng asked me what I thought.

"Next year's spring scenery will naturally have to wait until the flowers bloom next year."

I said it indifferently.

"Such a good husband, such a good marriage, and you still don't want it? The king should have knocked you unconscious with a stick and tied you up and taken you to Luoyang... He shouldn't have reasoned with you..."

Princess Heng threw away her fan and said only one sentence before leaving.

"Wait until Prince Anle asks for the imperial edict. I will see if you dare to disobey it."

Your Majesty, I respect it occasionally.

Asking me to kneel down on the ground to make him happy is simply wishful thinking!

Madam Yuwen left in anger, and I said, "I'm sorry I can't see you off."

The king of Luoyang came to Chang'an and wanted to be the master of Chang'an and Luoyang.

He is clearly not a saint, but he wants to act like an emperor.

Just because King Anle doesn't force me, should I be grateful to him?

Another Yan Xiang, another Zheng Shaoqing, another King of Qi, another Sanlang, and another saint.

All the things that I hate are gathered in the body of King Anle.

After the Chinese Valentine's Day that year, the sage's dragon body gradually recovered, and he returned to Taiji Palace from Taiqing Palace.

King Anle of Luoyang moved to Chang'an, but he did not live in a Taoist temple or a Buddhist temple, nor in a royal palace or a royal residence.

The Queen Mother bestowed upon the king the house in Yongfufang, and the Sage commended him to the courtyard in Changlefang, but the king refused to decline either.

Prince Li had no place to live, which would make him a laughing stock. Prince Anle asked the Queen Mother for help and then moved into Taiqing Palace.

I had never paid attention to Taiqing Palace in Daningfang and Luoyang Mansion in Xingningfang before, but when I took a closer look that day, I found that although these two houses were in different fangs, they were actually separated by only a street and four walls.

Close by, right in front of us.

King Anle is not only the king of the Li family, but also the son of the Feng family.

His mother, Princess Yan, was the twin sister of Empress Dowager Feng.

King Anle was born in the same year and month as the sage.

The mother is a twin, and the father is the King of the Li family.

Everyone says that King Anle of Luoyang and the sage of Chang'an are very similar in every way.

They look exactly the same, have similar expressions, are of similar height, have similar builds, behave the same, and even their voices are similar.

From a distance, they look like one person, but up close, they look like a pair of twin brothers from the same father and mother.

But when I look at them, they don't look alike at all. The only difference is that they look exactly alike in a way that annoys me.

Prince Anle was both the sage's cousin and the nephew of Empress Dowager Feng.

Moreover, because he was a member of the royal family of Luoyang, he had no intention of rebelling and had never posed any threat to the Li family's throne. The Taiji Palace had never been afraid of him and he was truly favored.

I wanted to kill him with one arrow, but I couldn't.

Not only me, even if the Emperor of Taiji Palace wanted to kill King Anle, he would have to think carefully about it.

I entered Taoism to avoid the world, but I am a fake Taoist, and King Anle is with me.

They are all forced by marriage and love.

The emperor of the Ninth Heaven is a true Taoist.

From the first day that Prince Anle moved into the Taiqing Palace, the sage of the Taiji Palace often summoned the prince to the palace to accompany him, saying that they would discuss the Dao and expound on the Daoist scriptures.

I thought to myself, I wonder when this King Anle from Luoyang will reveal his weakness in front of Buwangyan?
