Li Yu walked out of the bedroom.
He saw Princess Jin Yang playing with the white deer.
Apart from letting Li Yu and Princess Chang Le touch the auspicious white deer,
The third person to accept it was Princess Jin Yang, Little Si.
However, the white deer only allowed Li Yu to ride on its back.
"Yu 'er, I want to ride the white deer. Come with me.”
The little rhinoceros had the mood to play for a moment.
He wanted to ride the white deer around the palace with Li Yu.
However, Li Yu was more concerned about what Empress Zhangsun wanted to say to Princess Changle in the palace.
"Let's sit down and play on the swing first.”
Li Yu pulled Little Rhinoceros and sat on the swing outside the bedroom.
The two of them really felt like childhood sweethearts.
"It's too high, too high, I'm scared ~"
Little Si cried out in alarm. It hugged Li Yu tightly with both arms, afraid that it would fall off the swing.
Li Yu placed most of his attention on the bedroom, so he used more strength and made the swing too high.
At this moment, Li Yu reduced his strength and listened to the sounds in the bedroom.
Although the swing was dozens of meters away from the bedroom,
However, Li Yu's hearing was different from ordinary people. He could still vaguely hear the conversation inside.
"Changle, mother wants to tell you something.”
Empress Zhangsun pulled Changle to sit down and sighed."
"Today, the Tibetan envoy is paying tribute at the Xuanzheng Hall. He wants to marry our Great Tang through a marriage alliance, and the princess that the Tibetan King wants to marry is you.”
Changle was a little nervous. As a princess, she was most afraid of political marriages!
Especially marrying into the land of an alien race!
In the history books that Princess Changle read, Princess Jieyou, Wang Zhaojun, Cai Zhaoji, and so on of the Han Dynasty,
Whether they were married or captured, the final outcome was a miserable fate.
"Mother, Father has agreed?" Princess Changle said with a pale face.
"Silly child, how could your Imperial Father bear to marry you to such a remote place like Tubo?”Empress Zhangsun caressed Princess Changle's pretty face and said,"
"Your Imperial Father is very angry. He did not agree to the Tibetan envoy, and he did not directly reject him. In a few days, His Majesty will hold a banquet and summon the envoys of the various races who have come to pay tribute again.
At that time, I believe your Imperial Father will sternly reject the Tibetan envoy, but…"
Halfway through Empress Zhangsun's words, Princess Changle faintly felt her mother's dilemma and said considerately,"
"Mother, it doesn't matter. Chang Le also wants to help father and mother solve their problems.”
Empress Zhangsun no longer hesitated and said,"
"However, if we directly fall out with the Tibetan envoys, I'm afraid they will send troops to invade. Although our Great Tang does not fear the Tibetans, the people at the border will suffer.
Moreover, the Tibetans are located on the snowy plateau. Our Great Tang army cannot completely destroy them, and there will be endless trouble in the future.”
"Does Mother already have a better way to chase away the Tibetan envoy?”Princess Chang Le asked.
Empress Zhangsun nodded and said,"
"There is a more tactful way. Perhaps it can avoid a war between the two countries. You don't have to get married.
That was to tell the Tibetan envoy that they had already agreed on the engagement, and they had nothing to say.”
Princess Chang Le understood and said,""Imperial Mother's meaning is to find a young master from an aristocratic family and have your son pretend to be engaged to him to stall the Tibetans?”
"Exactly." Empress Zhangsun said," If you don't agree, I won't force you. Your father won't marry you to Tubo no matter what. You can rest assured about this."”
Princess Chang Le pinched the corner of her clothes and frowned slightly. She seemed to be struggling in her heart and finally said,
"Mother, if your son agrees, then who is this person pretending to be engaged to your son?”
Empress Zhangsun knew her daughter's temperament very well. She was sensible, obedient, and understanding.
It was precisely because Empress Zhangsun had figured out Chang Le's character that she had come to her to discuss this matter in advance.
"Changle, the best candidate in Chang 'an is Zhangsun Chong. He is the nephew of my mother and your cousin.”Empress Zhangsun said.
She also hoped that the Zhangsun family and the Li Tang royal family would be even closer.
" Mother, your son…" Princess Chang Le was faced with a difficult decision.
She didn't want to marry Zhangsun Chong, even if it was just a fake engagement.
After all, once the engagement was set, it would be equivalent to having a status. At that time, everyone in the Great Tang would know about it, and she would be unable to defend herself.
But…after all, it was her mother who was pleading with her, and she had no courage to refuse for the sake of the people of Great Tang.
What should he do?
Princess Chang Le was on the verge of compromising.
At this moment, the door creaked open.
Li Yu walked in.
Although he was playing on the swing with the little rhinoceros, he had been eavesdropping on the conversation in the room.
It was obvious that Empress Zhangsun was taking advantage of the situation and wanted to marry Princess Changle off under the name of the country.
To be more precise, he wanted Chang Le to leave the palace and the center of power.
As an empress, Empress Zhangsun was not wrong to be in charge of the harem.
However, Li Yu could not allow Princess Chang Le to be forced to make a decision that she did not like.
When Empress Zhangsun saw Li Yu and Little Rhinoceros push open the door and enter, she had a bad premonition. She was afraid that the words just now had been heard by this kid!
As for Princess Chang Le, she immediately heaved a sigh of relief. She felt very safe when she saw Li Yu.
Most of the time, it was the mother who gave the child a sense of security, but at this moment, it was the complete opposite.
"Yu 'er, Si' zi, were you eavesdropping outside just now?”Empress Zhangsun asked.
Li Yu nodded while Little Si shook his head.
Little Si indeed did not hear anything. Her hearing was not as sensitive as Li Yu's.
"I heard it all, Imperial Grandmother. Instead of letting Mother pretend to be engaged, why don't you try my method?”Li Yu said confidently.
Empress Zhangsun knew that Li Yu was born with knowledge and did not dare to underestimate him. She said expectantly,"Yu 'er, tell me."
Li Yu said bluntly,
"Very simple!
He built the Saintess Palace in Chang 'an and made his mother the Saintess of the Tang Empire.
With a pure and pure body, he would protect the Great Tang's fortune and prosperity!”
When Empress Zhangsun heard this, her gaze was shocked. She did not expect Li Yu to have such a shocking idea.
Build the Saintess Palace! The title of Saintess!
This was something that had never been recorded in the history books.
Was it really feasible?
