Chapter 166 Princess Gaoyang
"Brother Crown Prince! I heard you were looking for me? What's the matter?" Princess Gaoyang appeared in front of Li Chengqian and asked.
Princess Gaoyang felt a little strange. What happened to the Crown Prince today? He suddenly sent someone to find her and asked her to go to the East Palace.
When he was young, Li Chengqian had a good relationship with his brothers and sisters! He also got along well with Li Tai.
But later, as he grew up, for the position of Crown Prince, the relationship between Li Chengqian and Li Tai deteriorated. The two sides began to divide and confront each other.
Ever since Fang Yiai supported Li Tai to seize the throne, Li Chengqian no longer had any contact with Princess Gaoyang.
"Gaoyang is here! Come and sit down!" Li Chengqian said with a smile, and stood up to greet him.
Princess Gaoyang was stunned! Gao Yang was a little uncomfortable with Li Chengqian's enthusiasm.
"Gao Yang, since you got married, we haven't had any contact for a long time!" Li Chengqian said.
Princess Gao Yang didn't say anything, just nodded.
"At first, I didn't agree with my father marrying you to Fang Yiai, but unfortunately, although I am the crown prince, my words are not taken seriously." "
Qing Que is deeply favored by my father, and my father needs to rely on marriage to win over the court officials. Even if I tried my best to dissuade him, it would be useless." "
In the end, my father still married you to Fang Yiai." Li Chengqian said.
His predecessor did oppose Princess Gao Yang marrying Fang Yiai, not because of the brother-sister relationship.
Instead, he was worried that Li Tai would become more powerful and threaten his position as the crown prince!
After all, Fang Yaoai was close to Li Tai. If Princess Gaoyang married Fang Yaoai, would it mean that Fang Xuanling would become a member of Li Tai's party?
Even if Fang Xuanling would not make it public or had no such idea at all, Fang Xuanling's son Fang Yaoai was indeed a loyal fan of Li Tai.
If Fang Yaoai did something, could Fang Xuanling really sit idly by? Li Chengqian did not believe it at the time and did not dare to take a gamble.
If he lost the gamble, his life and property would be in danger.
Therefore, Li Chengqian opposed Princess Gaoyang marrying Fang Yaoai more because of interests rather than any feelings.
To become the crown prince, the first thing to consider is not feelings.
Princess Gaoyang saw everything Li Chengqian did and kept it in mind. Over the years, she was somewhat grateful to Li Chengqian.
No matter what Li Chengqian's purpose was, at least among all the brothers and sisters, only she, the eldest brother, stood up and spoke for her, and argued against her marrying Fang Yiai.
Speaking of Fang Yiai, Princess Gaoyang was more disdainful. She had no skills and was indecisive.
Apart from hanging around her fourth brother Qingque, he could do nothing. Princess Gaoyang never thought of such a man.
Although she was a princess, no matter how pampered she was, and how she lived a life of luxury, she still couldn't choose her own marriage.
Fang Yaoai really has no ability, otherwise she would not have been with Li Tai for so long and is still a marginalized figure.
At first, Fang Yaoai was going to join the crown prince Li Chengqian, but who knew that the crown prince actually looked down on Fang Yaoai.
Moreover, the crown prince's confidants Du He and Zhao Jie are much more capable than Fang Yaoai.
If he didn't have such an awesome father, even the fat Li Tai might not be interested in a character like Fang Yaoai.
Seeing that Princess Gaoyang still didn't speak, Li Chengqian continued, "Gaoyang, how have you been recently? Is Fang Yaoai okay?"
"Brother, what do you want to say?" Princess Gaoyang said.
She gets angry when Fang Yiai is mentioned. She has no ability to begin with. Since Li Tai fell from power, Fang Yiai has been staying at home doing nothing.
This makes Princess Gaoyang even more disgusted!
"I don't mean anything else." Li Chengqian changed to a comfortable position and sat sideways and said, "I heard that you are in a bad mood recently, so I want to take you to the temple to burn incense and relax. What do you think?"
"I won't go. The temple is too stuffy and there is no fun. I don't want to go to such a place. If you don't have anything else to do, Gaoyang will not disturb my brother. Goodbye!" Princess Gaoyang rejected Li Chengqian's proposal and stood up to leave.
"Gaoyang, wait a minute!" Li Chengqian called Princess Gaoyang. If he let her slip away like this, wouldn't his chance be wasted?
"Big brother, do you have any other instructions?" Princess Gaoyang stopped and asked.
"A few days ago, a group of monks came to Hongfu Temple!" Li Chengqian said.
Princess Gaoyang just rolled her eyes. What's so strange about monks? There are monks in the Tang Dynasty.
Why bother you, a prince, to go to Hongfu Temple to take a look.
"This group of monks are the master and apprentice of Master Xuanzang who returned from the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. Among them, there is a monk named Bianji who is different from the others."
"Bianji is not only knowledgeable and talented, but more importantly, he is a very interesting monk. Aren't you curious about what this Bianji looks like?" Li Chengqian said. In fact, he had never seen any Bianji.
Many things are his
He brought up the debate to make Princess Gaoyang feel that the debate is different, so that Princess Gaoyang would be curious about what is different about the debate.
"Is this debate really like what you said, brother?" Princess Gaoyang's curiosity was finally aroused by Li Chengqian.
"Of course, how could I lie to you? This is absolutely true. If you don't believe it, you can go and see it! Just take it as a way to relax." Li Chengqian said.
"Okay, I will go with you, brother, to see how interesting the monk Bianji is." Princess Gaoyang finally agreed.
She wanted to see what was so special about this debate that could make the current crown prince look at it differently.
Of course, the reason why Princess Gaoyang agreed to her elder brother Li Chengqian was to book an extra room for her love, so as to avoid having to face his face after returning.
This would only make him feel worse, so it would be better to go out and relax.
"Wang Quan, go and arrange it. The princess and I will go to Hongfu Temple to burn incense." Li Chengqian ordered Wang Quan on the side.
"Yes!" Wang Quan took the order and arranged everything, and sent someone to go to Hongfu Temple first to notify the monks there to prepare to pick them up.
After everything was ready, Wang Quan came back and said, "My dear! Princess! Everything is ready! Shall we set off for Hongfu Temple now?"
"Let's go immediately, Gaoyang, let's go, let's go on a trip to the temple." Li Chengqian said, and stood up and walked out.
Princess Gaoyang followed Li Chengqian, and they left the East Palace together, got on the carriage that had been prepared long ago, and headed towards Hongfu Temple.
At this time, upon hearing the news that the prince was coming, the whole temple did not dare to neglect it, and immediately swept the courtyard to prepare to welcome the prince's arrival.
