Gao Yang was completely dumbfounded. Although he didn't know why his father punished Li Jue, he thought that such a small matter as reciting texts shouldn't be worth his father's anger.
"Perhaps your grandfather had too high expectations of you, which is why he scolded you?"
Gao Yang racked his brains, and this was the only thing he could come up with to comfort Li Jue.
"By the way, nephew, I'm sorry about what happened before. I hope you won't be angry with your aunt..."
Upon hearing this, Li Jue waved his hand magnanimously.
"Auntie, what are you saying? How could I be angry with you?"
"In fact, my nephew already went easy on you last time at Sanglin Manor, only letting the hunting dogs scare you. Otherwise, if it were someone else, I would have crippled them, if not killed them!"
Gao Yang chuckled upon hearing this.
"Then I should thank you for going easy on me, right?"
"That's right!"
"Auntie, I really have to thank you!"
"By the way, Auntie noticed the ointment on your wound was just so-so. I'll have someone bring you some better stuff later!"
"Auntie, do you have any good ointments at home?"
"certainly!"
"How did you get this? You probably don't need it, right?"
"Who says I don't need it? Every time I finish whipping someone... cough cough..."
"Whom should be whipped?"
Upon hearing this, Gao Yang's face turned as red as a monkey's bottom, and he lightly punched Li Jue.
"Don't pry into adults' affairs!"
Upon hearing this, and considering Gao Yang's shy expression, Li Jue instantly thought of several key words.
Queen?
I love Emma?
I never expected my aunt to be so clever with her tricks...
"Your aunt has emptied the entire Princess's mansion to make amends to you this time, so you mustn't be angry with your aunt anymore, okay?"
"Thank you, Auntie!"
When Gao Yang saw Li Jue accept her gift, she immediately smiled and touched Li Jue's face.
"These chubby cheeks feel so nice to touch, hehehe..."
"Auntie is leaving now, so I won't disturb your recovery any longer. The ointment will be sent over shortly..."
Gao Yang got up to leave, but before she could take a step, Li Jue called her back.
"Auntie, wait!"
"Aunt, why don't you get a divorce from Fang Yi'ai?"
Upon hearing this, Gao Yang immediately revealed a bitter smile.
“Nephew, do you think I don’t want to? I’ve wanted to divorce him for a long time, but your grandfather won’t let me!”
Why?
"What else could it be? Of course, it's because of that good-for-nothing Fang Yi'ai!"
"I am merely a tool for you, Father, to appease your subjects!"
"this……"
"Your aunt knows she has a bad reputation, and there are some things she can't tell you in detail. You just need to know that I haven't wronged the Fang family..."
"oh?"
Upon seeing Li Jue's expression, Gao Yang immediately explained, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed.
"What kind of good person is Fang Yi'ai? He's practically slept with all the maids around me!"
Gao Yang regretted saying that as soon as he finished speaking. He was the same way. Why did he have to say these things to a child?
"Aunt, what if I could persuade your father to let you divorce Fang Yi'ai?"
Gao Yang was stunned when he heard this, then cupped Li Jue's face and kissed him hard.
"If you can really do this, then you'll be my greatest benefactor!"
"I'll give it a try..."
Gao Yang smiled upon hearing this, not believing that Li Jue could accomplish it. After all, the greatest mission of a Tang princess was to marry into a powerful alliance; her personal happiness was of no concern to anyone.
"Auntie is gone!"
Li Jue watched Gao Yang's departing figure thoughtfully. In fact, the only reason he helped Gao Yang was that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
After all, the historical Gao Yang personally orchestrated a rebellion and was at odds with Changsun Wuji and others.
Although there are many suspicious points in Princess Gaoyang's rebellion case, and it is very likely that it was a wrongful conviction fabricated by Changsun Wuji, it is undeniable that this woman is not simple!
However, Li Jue doesn't yet have a good idea on how to utilize Gao Yang, so he can only take it one step at a time.
Not long after Gao Yang left, Si Zi came in with a bottle of ointment.
"Li Jue, this was given to you by your Aunt Gaoyang. Do you dare to give it a try?"
Li Jue curled his lip in disdain upon hearing this.
"What's there to be afraid of?"
"Auntie, please help me change my dressing!"
"good!"
With Si Zi's help, Li Jue changed the ointment, and sure enough, the wound felt cool and comfortable.
"Auntie, what do you think of Gao Yang?"
"Nephew, what do you want to ask about?"
"all!"
“Your Aunt Gaoyang is very assertive. She has been competitive since she was a child and is always afraid of being looked down upon…”
"oh……"
"Auntie, are you and Gao Yang close?"
"well enough!"
"Your Aunt Gaoyang has been quite good to me, and to your father as well. When your father got into trouble, your Aunt Gaoyang even went to the palace to plead for him..."
"And it's the only one!"
Sizi lowered her head in shame as she spoke, because she had never dared to plead for her elder brother back then.
"Is that so?"
"Um!"
"In this respect, I am far inferior to your Aunt Gaoyang..."
“Your Aunt Gaoyang is shrewish and domineering, but she values loyalty and is a person who dares to think and act, far superior to us ordinary princesses.”
"Your grandfather often said in private that if your Aunt Gaoyang hadn't been a woman, she would definitely have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty!"
"I see!"
While Li Jue was chatting with Si Zi, a major incident occurred in the Ministry of Personnel.
Minister of Personnel Yang Shidao arrived at the Ministry of Personnel with a thick stack of official documents, requesting the Left Vice Minister of Personnel Fang Xuanling and the Right Vice Minister of Personnel Gao Shilian to sign them.
