Empty White

Looking forward to the spring breeze, looking forward to the spring breeze.

That day, there were no weddings or funerals in the Li family...

Princess Yi Yang would not leave Yin Yue Palace for the new or deceased members of the Li family.

Li Yinyue left Chang'an City just for me. She left Chang'an City just for me, a living member of the Yan family.

When she left Chang'an, she did not go to the Li family's imperial tomb, but instead went to Guanyin Zen Temple.

This is not common.

I know that Yi Yang and Shou Yang came for me, but I don’t know why the two princesses came.

That night, I stayed in the same room with Li Jiayinyue and Jiaojiao.

In the dead of night.

Li Jiaojiao asked Li Yinyue.

The princess asked the princess, and she asked her, why didn't she like the flower and bird messenger Tan Jiuyue?

The princess spoke suddenly and I was startled.

Seeing that Princess Yi Yang was not surprised, I pretended to be deaf and dumb in a panic. I looked around and pretended to blow out the lights. My heart was tense and then relaxed, and suddenly I fell asleep again.

The lamp is extinguished, and the moonlight shines into the window.

Silence for a long time.

It seemed as if no one was breathing.

"A man's heart is like a cloud, changing a thousand times a day, the sea changes, the sky splits and the earth changes, through the ages, only the Tao remains unchanged."

Li Yinyue spoke.

"He is not the Daoist Patriarch, let alone the Dao, so why should I like him?"

Madam Li told us.

The princess advocates Taoism, but her lover is not, and is far from being the founder of Taoism.

Since he is just an ordinary man, how can the princess like him?

There was a long silence.

Before one wave subsides, another wave arises.

Li Jiaojiao asked again, she asked me why I didn’t like His Majesty the Emperor?

The princess asked me why I didn’t like the emperor?

I didn't answer.

The room was choked.

I want to ask, why should I like the emperor?

Your Majesty orders me around, and the Emperor kills me whenever he wants.

I cherish my life and I don't want to be a slave.

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. Mortals can only fear the divine might of the Son of Heaven. I am just an ordinary mortal in this world. How can I like him?"

I swallowed my true feelings and replied to Princess Shouyang using the official jargon.

"I'm also a mortal, why shouldn't I be afraid of the emperor? I really like my brother the emperor, and I've liked him since I was a child..."

Princess Shouyang asked back in confusion.

"Chang'an, there are still people who dislike the emperor?"

"Strange, really strange... There are people in the Li family's Taiji Palace who don't like Fifth Sister..."

"One is strange, two are strange, strange, very strange, all strange..."

Li Jiaojiao murmured and complained.

Princess Shouyang said it was surprising and strange.

She shouldn't be surprised, let alone curious.

If I count the number of people in Jingzhao who spit on me and abandon me, there are too many to count.

The emperor doesn't like me, so what's so strange about that?

Looking around Chang'an, there are countless people who dislike His Majesty the Emperor.

I don't like him, so what's so strange about that?

Not to mention the north, let’s just talk about the Li family.

In the entire royal family, only Empress Dowager Feng, Concubine Feng, Concubine Xue, Princess Shouyang, Princess Leyang, Prince Guangcheng, Tan Jiuyue... only these people are not among them.

If a woman is not concubine Li and she likes the emperor, she will die.

If you like the emperor, you will be his slave.

If you like the emperor, your property will be confiscated and your family will be exterminated.

If you like the emperor, you will be trapped in Tai Chi forever.

If you like the emperor, you will be unlucky all your life.

If you like the emperor, you will be in danger of losing your job every day.

I am a bastard with a very bad temper, not a fool who considers himself a lowly person.

"The princess is not a mortal. She is the princess of the Li family."

I told Madam Li.

The bright moon was shining, and Jiaojiao snuggled into Qingyue's arms. She slept between me and Li Yinyue.

She smiled and asked Yi Yang, "If Cousin Tan were a Daoist Patriarch, would Big Sister like it?"

Li Yinyue smiled but did not answer.

Jiaojiao asked me with a smile, "If the Emperor wasn't the Son of Heaven, would Fifth Sister like He Nu?"

I also smiled without saying anything.

That night, nothing should have been said.

After Jiaojiao fell asleep.

I asked Princess Yi Yang.

"Will the princess?"

"If the eldest son of the Tan family is the ancestor of Taoism, then... the Tao that I have sought all my life... is nothing more than this. If this is really the case, I will throw away my hat and robe, abandon Taoism and marry..."

Li Yinyue told the truth.

Hearing this, I laughed out loud… The Tao is different from the Tao, there is no double moon in the sky, and they never meet.

"Then you... can you?"

Li Yinyue also asked me.

"If Your Majesty were not the Son of Heaven, how noble he would be... How dare I... How dare I..."

I just had a vain thought.

"If He Nu wasn't the emperor..."

I said.

"If that were the case, I would have shot him dead with an arrow long ago. Why would I be trapped here today?"

I do not hide my murderous intent.

"I have a question. I've been thinking about it for a long time. I want to ask Princess, does the Saint..."

On a moonlit night, I leaned in Princess Yi Yang's arms.

The princess ordered me to ask quickly.

"Your Majesty, he has shed a lot of blood in the past few years..."

"Why is he still alive?"

I really don't understand.

Princess Yi Yang did not criticize me for my disrespect.

She only said, "He Nu is not in good health? How can he become the emperor?"

I said, yes.

She also said, "Even rivers will eventually dry up, and even blood will eventually run dry..."

Yes, that’s true.

The princess spoke to me and Li Jiaojiao woke up from her dream.

She asked us, who are we talking about late at night?

"The slave and the princess are talking about Wei Ze."

I'm talking nonsense.

When talking about Luo Jiao, Li Jiaojiao kept silent.

At this point, the night should have been silent.

After a while, in the dark night, I heard crying, at first it was sobbing, and then it became earth-shaking.

It was Shouyang crying.

I lit the lamp.

The princess cried and said that she missed Dalang and she liked Dalang from the Luo family.

She was the only one who said that she disliked Luo Jiao and liked Weize.

Yi Yang and I are confused.

"Since you like Luo Jia Dalang, why don't you want to marry him?"

Li Yinyue asked Li Jiaojiao.

"Luo Dalang... His family background is poor. I am a princess of the imperial court. How can I marry him if I break my bones?"

Princess Shouyang cried in my arms.

She cried, she wailed loudly.

Her expression changed and she suddenly stopped crying.

She wiped her tears, she stood up, her eyes were bright as sparks, and she actually spoke to me.

"My sister is marrying the emperor. Dalang... Weize, your brother is a royal relative. So, he and I are a perfect match. We are a good match, right?"

Her long hair was loose, her tears were flowing freely, and she seemed to be begging me.

"I can't forget Zhaoyang. Since I like the princess, as long as you marry the emperor, then... you can have as many children as you want... Isn't that right? Isn't that good?"

I don’t know if my ears are completely broken or if she is talking nonsense in a nightmare.

Li Jiaojiao didn't speak human language. I looked at her and she seemed to be going crazy.

Princess Yi Yang slept alone, she said with a smile.

"Guo has been dead for ten years, but his influence and poison remain!"

Princess Shouyang has the heart of a child, and everyone in the Li family knows it.

Li Jiaojiao was intimidated by Concubine Guo when she was young. Over the past ten years, her body and hair have grown, but her mind has not grown.

"Sister, just think of it as Wei Ze, and just to help me and Da Lang?"

She cried and begged me in my arms.

I ignored it.

Seeing that I didn’t agree.

The child's expression suddenly changed. She looked rogue and used her little tricks. She was like a cunning rabbit that would bite people.

She whispered to me fiercely, "If you don't marry my brother, the emperor, I will never marry your brother."

"I want to tease him, tease him, and ignore him. I want to be nice to him sometimes and mean to him sometimes. I want to make his life worse than death..."

She threatened in my ear.

Poisonous words can drive people crazy.

"turn out to be……"

It suddenly dawned on me.

"Li Family... The madman in Luoyang is Prince Anle, and the madman in Chang'an turned out to be you, Princess!"

I said to Li Jiaojiao with a smile.

She has a madness of her own, a madness that no man or god can teach.

"I'm afraid that's just her nature. For the past ten years, the Guo family has probably taken the blame for her. Who knows!"

Li Yinyue looked at the faint moonlight and said lightly.

"I'm not crazy. I've never been crazy. I like He Nu and I also like Li Nu. I like my brother to be the emperor and I like my sister to be the queen..."

The madman is quibbling.

Princess Shouyang arranged the marriage according to her own wishes, and she is the real emperor of Chang'an City.

"If you want Luo's eldest son to be happy, you must marry me, Li's eldest son!"

The eldest princess gave the order!

"Sister, if you don't want Wei Ze to be alone outside, come with me back to Chang'an Taiji Palace tomorrow morning!"

The eldest princess has spoken!

She uttered harsh words viciously.

I let her go, laughing uncontrollably.

Luo Jiao doesn't like Li Yiyan, Yan Xuqing, and Xiao Pupu, he only knows Li Jiaojiao.

The Luo family doesn't like good and kind people, they only favor the bad and crazy ones.

As is the father, so is the son.

I picked up the princess with a smile, wiped the tears from her face, hugged her, and whispered in her ear, "Weize, my brother is also a lunatic. He's a lunatic from Tanzhou, and he hides himself the most. He likes the princess to tease him, to tease him, to ignore him. He likes the princess to be nice to him sometimes, and mean to him sometimes, to make him live a life worse than death, □□..."

Li Jiaojiao didn't say anything.

"What I have the most is a younger brother. If the princess is tired of playing with Dalang, there is still Erlang... If that's not enough, I still have..."

I whispered something to the princess, half true and half false.

Li Jiaojiao is not crazy.

She was just a bad kid who played around. She held her breath and tears and stopped talking to me.

"Four lunatics!"

Li Yinyue blew out the lamp and cursed with a smile.

From then on, there were no tears and no words that night.

That night, from dusk to dawn, there were only Li Jiaojiao's cries of dissatisfaction and the intermittent laughter of Li Yinyue and I.
