Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4886 Lu Er Returns Home
Queen Su was thinking about how Fang Jun was always so submissive at home, and she felt really strange...

After a while, she looked down and saw the baby Lu'er kicking his legs in the cradle, looking very energetic, so she whispered, "Just in case, it would be safer to send the child to the Duke of Liang's mansion. As for whether Gao Yang wants you to take the child out... we can talk about it later."

Princess Changle frowned: "Has it really reached such a dangerous point?"

The queen sighed softly: "It's better to be prepared."

In fact, she had already sensed the huge crisis. Li Chengqian was confident that he could control the situation in his hands. No matter what those people in the royal family did, they could not cause too much trouble. However, nothing in the world is absolute.
If we are negligent, the consequences will be disastrous.

But no matter how she advised Li Chengqian, he remained indifferent...

Princess Changle nodded and said, "Then send someone to deliver the child tomorrow morning."

Princess Jinyang said, "Sister, aren't you going? Lu'er is too young, and without you around, something might go wrong... How about I go over and help take care of Lu'er?"

"Nonsense!"

Princess Changle said angrily, "How can you, an unmarried girl, go and live outside the palace for a long time? You even want to deliver yourself to the palace. Don't you think there are enough rumors outside? If you continue to be so unstable, you may not be able to get married!"

What would happen if such a beautiful girl was sent to the Fang family?

Although she trusted Fang Jun's determination, Jinyang was different from others after all. If she was determined to come up to him and "give it to him for free", Fang Jun would not be so cruel as to refuse...

Queen Su also frowned, and said in a slightly serious tone: "It's already this time and you are still acting like a child? Stay in the palace honestly, or follow me to the East Palace to stay for a few days."

Princess Jinyang looked innocent, pouted, and said dissatisfiedly: "You two are going too far. I am really worried about Lu'er, so I want to go with you. What are you thinking? Dirty!"

Princess Changle didn't care about her temper and asked the queen worriedly, "Is sister-in-law planning to go to the East Palace?"

"Yes," Empress Su sighed and said, "Your Majesty has already made plans for the palace. Even if there are any omissions, it is beyond my ability to fix them. On the contrary, if something happens, the East Palace will be more dangerous. But how can I feel at ease if I go there to accompany Xiang'er?"

Compared to her stubborn and conceited husband, her son is naturally more important.

Even if we take a step back, as long as Crown Prince Li Xiang is safe and sound, even if there is a slight mistake on the Taiji Palace side, it won't be a big deal...

Princess Changle whispered, "Perhaps we can ask Erlang for some firearms for defense. Even if the situation really collapses, as long as we defend Lizheng Palace, we can stabilize the situation."

The Queen said helplessly, "How can that be easy? The Eastern Palace is heavily guarded. The General of the Central Army, Li Anyan, who is in charge of the defense, is a strict and inflexible person. He will definitely not allow firearms to enter the Eastern Palace."

Princess Changle glanced at Princess Jinyang who was teasing the deer nearby. The Queen was very smart and quick-witted. She immediately understood what Princess Changle meant. After a little thought, she nodded slightly in approval.

Princess Jinyang was very smart. She saw her sister-in-law and her elder sister flirting with each other and occasionally glancing at her. She understood what they were up to, so she sighed and said helplessly, "Okay, I'll take someone to accompany my sister-in-law to the East Palace to stay for a few days, and put the firearms in my luggage. I don't think Li Anyan would dare to search my luggage."

The queen held Princess Jinyang's slender hand and said with a pleased smile, "In the future, Xiang'er must be filial to you, his aunt. If he dares not to listen to you, I will slap him hard in the face."

"Ok?"

Princess Jinyang blinked her eyes. Her original intention was just to help the Eastern Palace strengthen its armaments. As a princess, she helped her nephew the crown prince without expecting anything in return. But after hearing what the queen said, she realized that although Li Xiang was young, he was a real crown prince, the heir to the throne of the Tang Dynasty. If he could help her on a certain matter, even His Majesty would have to give him some face, right?
He quickly patted his chest, which had begun to take shape, and said with a righteous look: "Don't worry, sister-in-law. I have liked Xiang'er since he was a child. How can I stand by and watch him fall into danger? As long as I can help Xiang'er, I am willing to do anything."

"Good sister."

Queen Su was very moved. She put her arms around Princess Jinyang's thin shoulders and her eyes became red.

In a time of crisis, even the usually spoiled Princess Jinyang was worried about the safety of the Crown Prince, but His Majesty insisted on his own way and did not care about the safety of himself and their mother and son at all...

Princess Changle said, "This matter should be dealt with sooner rather than later. I will pack up and go to the Duke of Liang's mansion. I will meet Erlang and listen to his opinion. If he agrees, I will immediately arrange for someone to send you to the East Palace."

Queen Su nodded repeatedly: "That's exactly what should be done."

Immediately, she took the two sisters' hands again and said with emotion: "I feel reassured now that you two are by my side in times of crisis. Otherwise, I would be so anxious and helpless that I would almost die of worry."

His Majesty would not listen to her advice, thinking that with Li Anyan guarding the Eastern Palace, there would be no problem and no need to create any new trouble. After experiencing two mutinies, the princes were all silent and avoided the affairs in the Taiji Palace as much as possible. As a woman, she really didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, Princess Changle was able to give her some advice, and Princess Jinyang also helped with all her strength, which made her feel a little relieved.

"We are sisters and we should love each other. How can we just watch you worry and hesitate and do nothing? Besides, your Majesty is concerned about the affairs of the country and it is inevitable that he may neglect some small things. We can help to make up for the shortcomings so that your Majesty will not have to worry about the future."

"Well, sisters-in-law for life!"

Queen Su wiped the moist circles under her eyes and smiled.

She must appreciate this love, and secretly made up her mind to treat each other well, to share what they have and what they need, and to share happiness like real sisters...

……

At that moment, Princess Changle packed her luggage in Shujing Palace, and sent people to Liangguo Mansion to inform Princess Gaoyang, and to the Ministry of War to inform Fang Jun. Then, Princess Changle left the palace accompanied by Princess Jinyang and went straight to Liangguo Mansion.

Empress Su reported to His Majesty that it was very cold recently and she was worried about the health of the Crown Prince, so he went to stay in the East Palace for a few days, and Princess Jinyang was accompanying him. Li Chengqian did not care. Although it was unreasonable for the princess to stay in the East Palace, he always doted on Princess Jinyang and naturally would not stop her on such a small matter, so he allowed her to go...

When everyone in Duke Liang's mansion learned that Princess Changle had brought her young master back to stay temporarily, they immediately became busy. This was truly their own young master, who, because he had no suitable status and could not even return to his ancestral home, was particularly pitiful. Coupled with Princess Changle's identity, everyone was on high alert.

The snow in the mansion and the streets in front of the gate was swept clean, and the room prepared for Princess Changle was tidied up again. All the bedding was replaced with new ones, and all the necessities were quickly moved out from the warehouse. The mirrors, tables and chairs, and even the teapots and teacups were all selected from the best. The floor heating was also heated to prevent the young master from catching a cold. The servants felt that the room was a little dry, so they moved some green plants from the flower hall and sprinkled some water on the ground...

By the time Princess Changle's carriage entered Chongrenfang, everyone in Duke Liang's mansion was already waiting outside the door. Hundreds of people stood respectfully on both sides of the street, bowing to greet the carriage when it arrived.

Princess Changle got off the carriage with the help of her maid, holding her child in her arms. Then she heard a neat voice: "Greetings, His Highness Changle. Welcome back, Young Master."

The snow had not stopped yet, but the wind was not strong. Princess Changle looked around, thought for a moment, pulled the swaddling clothes down, and held the baby upright, revealing half of Lu'er's face so that everyone could see it. After all, it was unlikely that the child would grow up here, and the servants and retainers in front of her would not be able to spend too much time with him, so it was necessary for him to see the baby.

"Stand up, it is a great joy that the young master returns home today, come, give me the reward."

"Here."

Several female officials and eunuchs came forward with bamboo baskets, took out the copper coins in the baskets and gave them as rewards one by one.

"Thank you for the reward, Your Highness. Thank you for the reward, Young Master!"

Everyone in the Fang family was delighted and expressed their gratitude for the reward.

"Oh, you look like a lady of the house."

On the steps at the main entrance, Princess Gaoyang, wearing a fox fur coat, stood prettily. A maid beside her held an oil-paper umbrella to shield her eyes from the snow powder. She had a smile on her face with a sarcastic look.

Princess Changle ignored her, wrapped the baby in swaddling clothes to prevent him from getting cold, and went up the stairs.

"Come, come, let me hold our little prince!"

Princess Gaoyang took two steps forward, and with a beautiful smile, she stretched out her hand to take the child.

Princess Changle's eyes twitched and she glared at Princess Gaoyang with her beautiful eyes.

aunt……

After being a younger sister for so many years, now you want to turn the tables and become a older sister? !
He would not indulge Gao Yang, so he said calmly: "It's windy and snowy outside, let's go inside first."

After saying this, he walked ahead, holding the child in his arms, and entered the gate.

Princess Gaoyang raised her eyebrows and looked sternly: Does this sister want to take the initiative?
Oh, once you enter this door, you have no say over it.

"What are you still standing there for? Quickly move all of Sister Changle's things into the mansion, and clean up her room. If there are any mistakes or omissions, you will be severely punished!"

"Here!"

The servants were silent and acted quickly.

Although Princess Gaoyang usually did not take charge of affairs, her status and position were there after all. She was both the principal wife and a princess, so no one dared to disrespect her.

……

There was a ground heating in the main hall, making it as warm as spring.

Princess Gaoyang took the child out of the swaddling clothes and held him in her arms. She loved the child's bright black eyes and pinched his cheeks. The child held her fingers tightly. The child kicked his feet and babbled incomprehensible words. Princess Gaoyang was filled with maternal love and held the child tightly. "Oh, look at this little boy. He is so handsome. He has so much strength in his hands. He will surely be a hero like your father when he grows up. It's just a pity that he can't grow up with his father. Poor child."

Princess Changle's face darkened. This girl wanted to keep the child in the Fang family, which was really a headache...
