From Concubine Yang's words, he knew that she had an old relationship with his parents. He had never heard Shan Yingying mention this before.
"Empress, please come in."
Luo Zhao invited Concubine Yang in and personally poured her a cup of fragrant tea. He did not lose his manners, nor did he deliberately show any respect.
Concubine Yang was once the princess of the previous dynasty and had experienced the change of dynasties. She had seen countless storms and seen countless people.
For example, Luo Zhao, a young noble's son, when facing her, a noble consort, could not help but be a little tense, even flustered and lose his composure.
It was rare to see someone as calm and composed as Luo Zhao.
This casual interaction made Concubine Yang have a better impression of Luo Zhao.
"I wonder what happened between my mother and my late father's mother?”
Luo Zhao asked after the host and guest sat down.
"When Wang Shichong proclaimed himself emperor, I and many of the former Sui royal family members were trapped in Luoyang as hostages.
At that time, your mother Yingying followed your uncle Shan Xiong Xin and became a general under Wang Shichong.
Your mother is kind-hearted. She will send me some food and clothing from time to time and take care of me secretly.
Later, when the Tang army broke through Luoyang, Wang Shichong set fire to the Imperial Palace, wanting us, the former Sui royal family, to be buried with him.
At that time, it was all thanks to your father who was the first to break into the palace and join forces with your mother to save me.
Speaking of which, I owe your Luo Clan a great debt of gratitude.”
Concubine Yang sipped her tea as she explained the past.
Luo Zhao suddenly understood, but he said curiously,"Mother has never mentioned this past to me."”
"Not only did your mother not mention it to you, but she also rarely mentioned it to others. Even His Majesty did not know about this matter. She probably did not want others to talk about it and say that your Luo family wanted to take this opportunity to claim credit from His Majesty.”
Concubine Yang guessed.
Luo Zhao remained silent and poured himself a cup of tea.
Although what Concubine Yang said made sense, she felt that her mother's silence was not as simple as Concubine Yang had guessed.
"Zhao 'er, your' Leaving the Force', His Majesty and BenGong have seen it. Whether it's poetry or calligraphy, it's worthy of the word 'handed down.”
Concubine Yang didn't want to talk about the past, so she returned to the main topic.
"It was just an impromptu work. I didn't want to alarm father and mother and make a fool of myself in front of you.”
Luo Zhao returned to his senses and smiled humbly.
When he wrote that poem, his purpose was simple. He only wanted to suppress Zhangsun Chong's arrogance. However, he knew in his heart that he had "plagiarized" the efforts of the ancients and that it was not a glorious thing.
Therefore, his humility came from the bottom of his heart.
"This child has become famous at a young age. He has an extraordinary talent, but it is rare for him to have such a calm state of mind. It is really rare…"
Luo Zhao's modesty made Concubine Yang secretly admire him, and she looked at him in a new light.
"You have the ability to stabilize the country in martial arts and the talent to stabilize the country in literature. Your father has high expectations of you.
One of the reasons why I came today is because I was entrusted by your Imperial Father to come and remind you to prepare for the combat examination with all your heart and strive to get the first place and seize the position of vanguard general.
In the future, when you return from the northern expedition against the Turks, your Imperial Father will be able to put you in an important position. Sooner or later, you will become an important official of the country.”
Concubine Yang's words made her intentions clear.
These words made Luo Zhao somewhat surprised.
Of course, he knew that Li Shi Min thought highly of him.
However, he was only the emperor's son-in-law after all. If he wanted to show his respect, he could summon him into the palace and give him some encouragement.
However, Li Shi Min didn't, but sent his favorite concubine to personally show his gratitude. This kind of favor was unprecedented.
Li Shi Min's Imperial Manipulation Technique was indeed at the peak of perfection…
Luo Zhao was well aware of this and sighed, but he said lightly,""Consort mother is too kind. This son thanks Imperial Father for his high regard. This son can only guarantee that I will do my best.”
Concubine Yang's eyes flickered.
She originally thought that Luo Zhao would feel overwhelmed by the favor he received from the Emperor, no matter how good his state of mind was.
Unexpectedly, the young man in front of him was still so calm.
"Unfazed by favor and humiliation, calm and collected. This determination is truly extraordinary…"
Concubine Yang secretly praised him.
Taking another sip of tea, Concubine Yang suddenly became curious and asked,""Since ancient times, it has been difficult to be a Prince Consort. With your talent and temperament, you don't need to be a Prince Consort. Sooner or later, you will be able to shine.”
Hearing this, Li Lizhi, who was listening outside the window, couldn't help but tremble and become nervous.
She felt uneasy. She was really afraid that Luo Zhao would say that he married her only to use her status as a princess to attract Li Shiming's favor. He would use her status as a relative to rise to the top.
Or perhaps, he would say that it was only because of his parents 'orders. As a son, he did not dare to disobey.
No matter which answer she gave, Luo Zhao did not marry her because he liked her.
Any woman would not feel good when she heard that her husband did not marry her because he liked her.
"The princess is the most beautiful woman in Chang 'an. Which man doesn't want to marry such a beauty?”
In the room, Luo Zhao gave an unexpected and even somewhat vulgar answer.
