There are three prime ministers in the court, Li Haicheng is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, Li Su, the Minister of Rites, is his nephew, who is the chief examiner of this year's scientific examination, and Tang Zhengyan's teacher for this year's examiners.Li Suyuan admired Tang Zhengyan very much, and after he passed the exam, he even invited him and several others to come to his house for dinner. He wanted to marry his daughter to him, but he was cut off by Prince Jing.

When Tang Zhengyan came to ask for help, Li Su was very happy.But his original spouse has passed away for many years, and he has never remarried, so he can't help Tang Zhengyan settle down.Tang Zhengyan also thought of this, his target was Prime Minister Li, but he didn't say it bluntly, he only said that he had nothing to rely on in Beijing, the only teacher was his relatives, and Li Su was the one to make the decision.

How can Li Su not follow up on such a good thing that has fallen from the world?This is not only an opportunity to make friends with Prince Jing, but what he values ​​more is Tang Zhengyan's unlimited future.Although Tang Zhengyan is just a budding figure, but seeing that he is prudent and resourceful in his actions, and he has managed the Prince of Linjiang County, anyone with eyes can see that he will not be a man in the pool in the future.

So Li Su mentioned his uncle, Prime Minister Li, as Tang Zhengyan expected.He took Tang Zhengyan to visit Prime Minister Li's house. Mrs. Li was very happy with the adult beauty, so she took over the wedding ceremony between Tang Zhengyan and Linjiang County King.

Within a few days, Mrs. Li Chengxiang paid a visit to Prince Jing's mansion in person, and exchanged the two families with Princess Beitang Yaoyue... Cough, it's a Geng invitation from the sons.

However, it happened to be Xiaoding's day, but a big change happened.

It turned out that there was a censor playing Tang Zhengyan who forged his identity, abandoned his family and his family, and his background was hindered.His surname is not Tang, but Fang should be.It is Fang Zhengyan, the grandson of Fang Zijian, a family in southern Fuzhou.

The censor had heard rumors about the incident, but this time there was evidence that Fang Zijian's bastard son and Fang Zhengyan's uncle Fang Zhiyun was the prefect of Yunzhou.

As soon as this performance came out, the court was in an uproar.The emperor suddenly darkened his face.

Fang Zijian was once Minister of Rites, one of the Nine Ministers, and a first-rank official residence.However, he retired 14 years ago and died eight years ago.When the late emperor was there, he praised Fang's family as a "House of Etiquette" and bestowed a four-character plaque, which is still hung in the main hall of the Fang family's ancestral home.

In this era, the clan is sometimes more powerful than the imperial court, and betraying the clan is a serious crime.However, the law is nothing more than human feelings. If there are special circumstances, as long as the reason is there, it is certain to break away from the family and establish a separate genealogy, so this matter can be big or small.

The emperor was not confused, he called Tang Zhengyan to defend himself, and at the same time asked Fang Zhiyun to enter the palace to testify.

At the same time, Mrs. Li was sitting in the hall of Prince Jing's Mansion to congratulate Beitang Yaoyue, check the small order list with him, and discuss the wedding date. When she heard the news, Mrs. Li's expression couldn't help but change.

As the prime minister's wife, she was willing to come forward to preside over the wedding ceremony for Tang Zhengyan, because her husband and nephew were interested in Tang Zhengyan's future and the relationship with Prince Jing's mansion.If Tang Zhengyan really deceived the imperial court by abandoning his family, this marriage could turn into a matter of enmity.She's here to get married, not to make enemies.

Mrs. Li's face changed, but Beitang Yaoyue was very calm. Hearing this, he didn't even frowned, and said to Mrs. Li: "It seems that there was a little accident in Chaoshang, but it has nothing to do with us. Let's talk about the small ceremony first." Finish it."

Mrs. Li hesitated and said, "Is this okay? Or...wait for a while?"

Beitang Yaoyue was unhappy.They haven't lost confidence in Tang Zhengyan in Prince Jing's Mansion yet, has Mrs. Li retreated?However, he kept his face calm and said with a faint smile: "The engagement things have been delivered, but the two wild geese are still lying in the yard, how can they be sent back? Since the emperor has announced that Tang Tanhua will defend himself tomorrow, the verdict is over." It will be clear in time. My son has been given a marriage by the emperor to Tang Tanhua. No matter his surname is Tang or Fang, he is my son-in-law. I will never do anything to regret the marriage. Mrs. Li, let's continue Bar."

In fact, Mrs. Li also had good intentions, she was afraid that Prince Jing's mansion would regret not being able to step down, and it would be bad for Tang Zhengyan and her Li family to get angry.Who would have thought that Princess Jing didn't care about it, and wanted to continue the ritual of Xiaoding, so what else could she say?From the bottom of my heart, she still likes her nephew Li Su's favorite student. If there is Prince Jing's mansion behind him, it will be an extra layer of protection for Tang Zhengyan.

So she stopped talking and made a small engagement ceremony with Prince Jing's Mansion with a smile.

After returning to the prime minister's mansion, Mrs. Li told her husband what happened today, and Li Chenghai stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Tang Zhengyan is a lucky boy." Then his tone became cold: "Knowing that he is a student of my Li family, If you dare to make a move, the old man wants to see who is behind the scenes."

Putao was surprised when he heard about it.He was worried about Tang Zhengyan, so he begged his father to let him go out.

Beitang Yaoyue is not an unreasonable person, he thinks this is a good opportunity for his son to develop a relationship with Tang Zhengyan, after all, the engagement of the two happened under such circumstances.Men are lower body animals, who can guarantee that Tang Zhengyan was not influenced by lust and fell in love with grapes?A shallow emotional foundation cannot withstand too many tests, just like him and Dongfang Haoye.Back then, if Dongfang Haoye hadn't pursued him relentlessly, how could I have repaid him with the same affection?

So Beitang Yaoyue generously agreed to her son, and arranged for a carriage to send Putao to visit Tang Zhengyan.

When Putao came to see Tang Zhengyan, the Tang family had just had dinner, and Tang Zhengyan was inspecting the endorsements of his two younger brothers. Seeing him coming in, the three brothers were a little surprised.

Tang Zhengli was very knowledgeable, he smiled and pulled Tang Zhengyi away.It's just that although he smiled, there was still a hint of worry in his eyes, and he gave the two of them a deep look.

Putao didn't pay attention, he only had Tang Zhengyan in his eyes.After they left, they couldn't wait to rush over and hug Tang Zhengyan.

"Brother Tang, how are you doing? Don't worry, father and father will definitely stand by your side."

Tang Zhengyan patted him on the back and said with a smile, "I know. Otherwise, father-in-law... well, your lord will not agree to our wedding ceremony."

He really couldn't pronounce the word "mother-in-law" to Beitang Yaoyue, and suddenly realized that this was a problem, how should he address the two father-in-laws in the future?

Putao frowned and said worriedly, "Brother Tang, is your surname Tang or Fang? Can you tell me?"

Tang Zhengyan smiled, pulled him to sit down, and said, "Why can't I tell you? We are about to become husband and wife, so we should be honest with each other. Just don't blame me for hiding it."

Putao scratched his cheek when he heard that, and said a little embarrassedly: "I won't blame you, let's make it even."

He was referring to the fact that he lied to Tang Zhengyan that he was called "Fang Ting" and concealed his identity.

Thinking about it, Tang Zhengyan couldn't help chuckling, and sighed: "It seems that we are really a family, and we don't want to enter the family."

Putao was delighted to hear this, and gave him a sip on the face.

Tang Zhengyan blushed, coughed, and said, "Speak business."

He rubbed Putao's palm, and said slowly: "The censor is right. My original surname is Fang, and I am the eldest son of the Fang family in Fuzhou. My grandfather was an official in the court, and my grandfather was a fifth-rank scholar of the Imperial Academy. Tang Qingyao. The two were close friends, so my grandfather made a mother for my father and formed a child marriage with my grandfather. At that time, my grandmother did not go to Beijing with my grandfather, but stayed in her hometown to take care of my great-grandparents. My grandmother’s maiden name was Shen. The family was in decline, and my grandmother had only one elder brother, who died early due to illness, leaving behind a son and a daughter. The daughter, Shen, was my father's cousin. My cousin was brought up by Fang's family. Later, I learned that my grandfather had arranged for Tang Hanlin's daughter for my father, so I was very reluctant."

What follows is a series of bloody stories.Tang Zhengyan's father, Fang Zhihai, was four years older than his mother. After his mother was 15 years old, he was married by his grandfather.However, Fang Zhihai had a deep relationship with that cousin Shen since he was a child, and was matched by his grandmother. In the second year after Tang Zhengyan's mother married, he took that cousin Shen as a good concubine.

At that time, the Tang family was also in decline.Tang Qingyao passed away before his daughter got married. He only had this one daughter. Before he died, he entrusted his friend to take good care of her. Fang Zijian promised.This is why Tang Zhengyan's grandmother, Shen Shi, was able to take her son's niece as a good concubine despite her husband's objections in the second year of his son's marriage, because the Tang family had no one to support Tang Shi.

Fortunately, Tang's belly was strong, she was pregnant with Tang Zhengyan the year she entered the family, and gave birth to the eldest son the next year.And with the protection of his father-in-law Fang Zijian, he had a foothold in the Fang family, and Tang Zhengli was born a few years later.It was only after Fang Zijian's death that Tang's status took a sharp turn for the worse.

Tang Zhengyan's grandmother was partial to his niece Shen, and Shen could sow discord, with a weak and helpless appearance on the surface.Tang Zhengyan's father, Fang Zhihai, had a deep affection for her, and soon there was a tendency to spoil his concubine and destroy his wife.At that time, Tang Zhengyan’s grandfather Fang Zijian had just passed away, and there were many things to take care of at home and outside the house. However, the middle-aged Tang family was pregnant with a son, and was picky by her husband and mother-in-law and squeezed by a concubine. Died in childbirth during justice.

The thing that chills Tang Zhengyan's heart is that his mother is dedicated to the Fang family and has never made a big mistake. She is filial to her parents, raises her children, and does her best to serve her husband. However, within a hundred days after her death, Fang Zhihai will be in the Fushen family For the main wife.How could Tang Zhengyan endure this?He hugged his younger brother and brought Tang Zhengli to kneel down to ask his father to show his mother some respect.Fang Zhihai was a little hesitant at first, but Shen Shi gently provoked Tang Zhengyan with a few words, putting Tang Zhengyan in the position of "disobedience", which aroused Fang Zhihai's anger.

In the end, the father and son had a big quarrel. Tang Zhengyan couldn't bear it, and angrily left home with his two younger brothers.

Tang Zhengyan was quite wealthy, and when he left home, he brought a document title deed, which was prepared by Tang's mother before her death.

It turned out that Tang knew long ago that once his father-in-law passed away, he would have nothing to rely on. Mrs. Yi Tai's preference for Shen's and her husband's muddled preference would make it difficult for him to gain a foothold in the mansion.It's okay for her to suffer, but the children can't bear to be wronged.

Na Shen's appearance is pure and weak, but in fact he is the most ruthless person. When Tang Zhengyan was young, he was injured and fell ill several times for no reason. From then on, he became wary, and the other party's mansion gradually lost hope.

Once Tang Zhengyan, the eldest son, is gone, the second son born to the Shen family will become the eldest son.Tang's mother was thinking about the future when her father-in-law was seriously ill.Later, her father-in-law passed away, and her health became worse and worse. Knowing that she might not be able to survive the risk of giving birth in middle age, she quietly stole the household registration documents from the Fang family and arranged for her son to escape.

Tang Zhengyan took his household registration to the Fuzhou government, and went through the procedures for his and Tang Zhengli's transfer.At that time, the younger brother Tang Zhengyi was still young and had never been naturalized, which was convenient.

The Fang family is a family from Fuzhou, and Fang Zhihai soon got the news that Mrs. Fang naturally did not allow her grandson to leave the country.

Just as Tang's mother said when she was about to die, in this world, where there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. Fang Zhihai actually obeyed Shen's words, and did not chase Tang Zhengyan and his brothers back, letting them leave home.

So Tang Zhengyan successfully left his hometown with his two younger brothers, re-registered in Tang's mother's hometown, changed his mother's surname, and changed his surname to Tang.

After listening to the whole story, Putao gritted her teeth angrily, and burst into anger: "It's disgusting! There is such a cruel father in the world, the censor should accuse him of being unkind! And a wicked woman like Shen, how can she be worthy of it?" Matriarch of the family!"

Tang Zhengyan saw that Putao was very angry, so he stroked his back and comforted him: "The matter is over, Zhengli and I have let go, you don't have to be so angry. Now that they come to your door, I'm not afraid, when the time comes Above the court, I will argue with them myself."

Putao was still very excited: "It's unreasonable! It's unreasonable!"

Tang Zhengyan saw that Putao was so angry for him, he couldn't help being moved, and said, "Okay, don't be angry anymore. It is enough for me to have you now, and we don't have to be angry for those irrelevant people. I heard that you are so angry. You have been making wedding dresses at home for a few days, how are you doing?"

Putao's face flushed, and she said coyly, "It's not well done...Dad said I should ask the embroiderer to do it."

Tang Zhengyan smiled and said, "That's okay, many people are like this, and I don't want you to be troubled." He took his hand and looked at it, and there were still a few needle marks left on it.

Tang Zhengyan said distressedly: "You should still hold a pen and a sword with your hand. Embroidery or something is a woman's job, you don't need to learn it."

Putao smiled and sighed: "I was raised by my father as a daughter since I was a child, and I wore women's clothes until I was ten years old. Unfortunately, no matter how I dress up, I am still a fake daughter."

Tang Zhengyan was stunned when he heard the words, and suddenly he raised Putao's chin and looked at it carefully under the candlelight.

Putao blushed when he saw it, twisted and said, "Brother Tang, what are you looking at?"

Tang Zhengyan said: "You said you always wore women's clothes when you were a child, did the emperor and empress dowager know?"

"I know. The emperor's grandmother likes to dress me up the most. Many of my dresses are given by the emperor's grandmother."

"Then have you ever entered a palace in women's clothing?"

Putao couldn't help laughing and said, "Oh, that's very often. At that time, many wives who came to the palace to pay their respects thought I was a little princess."

Tang Zhengyan's eyes flickered, and he suddenly asked, "Did you ever enter the palace on the fifth day of June eight years ago?"

Putao gave him a strange look, turned his head and thought for a while, and said, "It's been so long ago, I can't remember clearly..."

Tang Zhengyan was a little disappointed, but Putao immediately said "ah" and exclaimed, "I remember, I went to the palace that day."

Putao said with a puffy face: "That was the last time I wore women's clothing in the palace. Since then, my father has put away all my skirts and never allowed me to wear them again. It's a pity that the beautiful green dress The pleated lotus skirt was a gift from my sister-in-law who was not married to my elder brother at the time."

The reason why he remembered this date was because it was the last time he formally appeared in the palace in women's clothing after returning from the Hidden Spirit Valley.After that, his father forbade him to confuse men and women in dressing up and educated him as a son.

Tang Zhengyan raised the corners of his lips, and said with a soft smile, "You were wearing a pale pink double-breasted vest, right?"

Putao actually didn't remember clearly, but he remembered it when he mentioned it, and couldn't help but wondered: "How do you know? Ah... I remembered, it was the fifth day of the lunar new year, and it was the emperor's grandmother and aunt who summoned his wife to enter I remember meeting a little boy who called me Sister, and it seems to be Fang..."

Then he seemed to understand something, stared at Tang Zhengyan with wide eyes, and stammered: "Could it be that the boy who pushed me is Brother Tang and you? That little boy is Zhengli?"

"Exactly." Tang Zhengyan's eyes were bright, and he said with infinite joy: "Pao, we are really destined, so we met eight years ago!"

At that time, Tang Zhengli's nickname was still "Xiaoyou", but after his mother passed away, he could no longer be at ease.

Putao's black eyes were also shining, staring at Tang Zhengyan, speechless.

Maybe this is fate to meet thousands of miles away.At that time, that little boy in the harem, that little "princess master", met again after many years, and it was so strange and so coincidental that he met again in the remote and remote Tangjia Village.

The little boy grew up, from Mr. Fang to Brother Tang; the little "princess master" was even more bizarre, from the princess to the king.

The fate of people is like a thread, some will be broken when you don't know when to pull it lightly;

The two were speechless for a moment. They held each other's hands tightly and stared at each other with sparkling eyes. It seemed that some unspeakable feelings were bred in them, and they seemed to be closer all of a sudden.

After quite a while, it was Tang Zhengyan who came back to his senses first, saw that it was already dark outside, and said, "Pao, it's getting late, you should go back."

At three o'clock in Xushi, the night was about to be banned. It was past Xushi, and Putao knew it was time to go back, but she was reluctant to part with it.

On a cold spring night, Tang Zhengyan helped him to be covered with a cloak and said firmly, "Wait for me."

Putao nodded: "I'll wait for you."

Tang Zhengyan sent him to the carriage outside, watched him leave, and didn't go back until the carriage turned out of sight.

Putao was full of confidence in Tang Zhengyan, and after meeting him, she was no longer so worried about his court debate the next day. She went back to sleep well at night, but didn't wake up the next morning.

The life in Prince Jing's Mansion has always been very regular. Putao is not a lazy sleeper. Even if he doesn't like it, he will get up at [-]:[-] every morning, wash up and go out to practice exercises.This is the rule set by Princess Beitang Yaoyue.

But this morning, Xiao Zhuzi called him several times, but he just didn't want to get up lazily. Later, Xiao Zhuzi became anxious, and pushed him gently while saying, "Fourth young master, if you don't get up again, you will be late. Let the princess know about it." punish you."

Grape sobered up.The last time he was punished was when he was seven years old. He was punished by his father to stand on horseback for two hours, and his hind legs were swollen after the end. He was so scared that he didn't dare to get up late for no reason.

He struggled to get up, and was about to put on the clothes handed over by Xiaozhu, when he suddenly felt a contraction in his stomach, and couldn't help but vomited out.

Little Zhuzi was startled, quickly took out the spittoon and asked, "Fourth young master, what's wrong with you?"

Putao vomited several times, spit out some acidic water, lay down beside the bed for a moment, frowned and said: "It's okay, my stomach feels uncomfortable, maybe I caught a cold last night."

Xiao Zhuzi said: "I'll go tell the prince, I'll invite the imperial physician to take a look."

Putao waved his hand and said, "It's a big deal, don't make a big deal out of it, it's already done." He rubbed his stomach and felt all right, so he got up and dressed, and hurried to practice in the backyard.

But his condition today was really not good, and he only practiced two moves with his younger brother Dongfang Junren, when he suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and he passed out stiffly.

Fortunately, Dongfang Junren reacted quickly and stepped forward to catch him, otherwise he would be injured again if he fell to the ground.

Now Beitang Yaoyue also knew about it, and hurriedly sent someone to invite the imperial physician.Dongfang Haoye didn't know about this yet, he had already gone to the court, today Tang Zhengyan argued to himself, as the future father-in-law, of course he had to support the court, so he left very early.

Prince Jing's Mansion was in turmoil for a while, and finally the imperial doctor came, frowning and stroking his beard for pulse diagnosis, looking thoughtful.

Beitang Yaoyue couldn't help feeling a little flustered as she watched from the sidelines.You must know that the child Putao has never been sick since he was a child. He is as strong as a calf. Even Candy Walnut has been sick and had a fever when he was young. Only this child has nothing to do.Beitang Yaoyue seemed to have heard people say before that people who never get sick are not serious once they get sick, so they couldn't help being very worried.

Unexpectedly, the imperial doctor checked the pulse for a while, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Princess Jing who was standing aside, and suddenly showed an expression of enlightenment.

Beitang Yaoyue was still puzzled, so the imperial physician smiled and said, "The king of Linjiang County is fine, I am happy."

"What!?" Beitang Yaoyue, Dongfang Junqian and Dongfang Junren who came over after hearing the news all stared wide-eyed.

Seeing their reactions, the imperial physician suddenly came to his senses: Oh, hey, it seems that the Prince of Linjiang County is not married yet.

The imperial doctor didn't dare to say congratulations, and sat there silently.

Dongfang Junqian wanted to confirm again, but Beitang Yaoyue had no doubts.He is a Maya man, and he knows best about the Maya man's conceived due to love. Judging by Putao's affection for Tang Zhengyan, is it not easy to conceive a child?

He calmly said: "In that case, the imperial doctor will see if I need to prescribe some anti-fetal medicine for my son? Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

The imperial doctor said: "No need, no need. Prince Linjiang is very strong, and the medicine is three-point poisonous. There is no need to make up for nothing. The old man will write a list of foods that need to be avoided, and let Prince Linjiang pay attention to his diet. .”

Beitang Yaoyue thanked the imperial physician and asked Dongfang Junqian to send the person out, and then handed over the list of taboos to the kitchen for the servants to serve carefully.

He himself had given birth four times and raised five sons, so he had some experience, so he wasn't particularly flustered, but he couldn't help rubbing his forehead when he thought of Putao being pregnant as a man without marriage.

Dongfang Junren was the most knowledgeable, and hurriedly left under the pretext of practicing kung fu, while Dongfang Junqian stayed as the son of the prince to deal with the aftermath.

"Father, what about the grapes?"

He was a little worried. Originally, the emperor's uncle bestowed the marriage, even if Putao was pregnant, as long as they got married quickly, everything would be fine.Unexpectedly, a meddling censor jumped out to turn over the old account, insisting that Tang Zhengyan abandoned his family and ancestors. If he admits this matter, he will never be able to turn himself around.Even if Tang Zhengyan really has a clear conscience, I'm afraid the emperor won't reuse it for a while.

Beitang Yaoyue said with a sullen face: "The wedding should be done as soon as possible. Today Tang Zhengyan came back from Chaoshang, and immediately sent someone to invite him over."
