It was dawn.
At dawn, the boat was anchored by the Tianjin Bridge, rising and falling with the waves, just like Princess Taiping's plump chest.
Princess Taiping woke up leisurely. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Yang Fan quietly staring at her. His eyes were clear.
He was sitting, and it seemed that he had been sitting all night.
Princess Taiping was surprised when she saw the situation on the boat. She hurriedly got up and said apologetically, "You … didn't sleep all night?"
Yang Fan smiled and said, "It's okay to not sleep occasionally."
He paused and said, "Listen, many people on the bridge and on the street didn't sleep all night. They are going home now."
Princess Taiping said embarrassedly, "But you have to go back to the yamen to work today."
Yang Fan smiled again, "It doesn't matter. In fact, I am more free than anyone else in the yamen. I can sleep at any time. No one will bother me."
Princess Taiping couldn't help but laugh and said, "I vaguely know about your situation in the Ministry of Justice. I know that you sleep every day, but I also know that you are not a person who likes to admit defeat. Although your counterattack may not necessarily be a victory, if you don't fight back, then it is too abnormal. I think … many people are probably waiting to see what you can do. "
Yang Fan frowned slightly and asked doubtfully, "Many people? For example?"
Princess Taiping said sweetly, "For example, the Mother Empress, me, King Liang, and Cui Yuanzong."
Yang Fan gently stroked his chin and said leisurely, "So many people? I didn't expect that. "
Princess Taiping gently moved her messy hair away from her temples. She rested her head on Yang Fan's lap. Her cheeks were pressed by the folds of her clothes, which made her look like a lazy and charming mature woman.
She used her long and slender fingers to tuck her hair behind her ears gracefully. She said slowly, "The Queen Mother sent you to the Ministry of Justice, so it's impossible for her not to be concerned about your actions there. Wu Sansi's greatest opponent is Wu Chengsi. If you can control the Ministry of Justice, then you'll be a great help to him, so it's impossible for him to not be concerned. As for Cui Yuanzong, his abilities may be limited, but to be able to sit in such a position, other than Fu You Yi, that kind of trash, there's definitely no idiot! And I … we have the same goal. Of course, I also hope that you can establish yourself in the Ministry of Justice. "
Princess Taiping stared at him and said word by word, "Therefore, many people are waiting and watching. If you can't get a foothold in the Ministry of Justice, then neither the Queen Mother nor Wu Chengsi will hesitate to give you up. After all, they want you to be of help to them, or to make them worry less. They don't want to treat you like a child who hasn't grown up and run to you every day to support you and worry about you! "
"As for Cui Yuanzong, he has only been in the Ministry of Justice for a short time. He has reached a delicate balance with Chen Dong for the time being. After all, he is the head of the Ministry of Justice. This advantage can ensure that he can suppress Chen Dong. Therefore, he also doesn't want a person with a strong background to jump out and raise a tiger!"
Yang Fan smiled and said, "It sounds so complicated! This is why I don't like the officialdom. There are too many insidious people here! In comparison, being in the army is better. And those influential officials, although they are all arrogant and domineering, they show their emotions on their faces. They are not like those people in the Ministry of Justice, all of whom are like smiling tigers. "
Princess Taiping sighed and said, "The officialdom is like a battlefield, but it's even more complicated than a battlefield …"
Yang Fan interrupted her sigh and began to talk about love, "It's already dawn. Let's not beat around the bush. I went to the appointment last night because you forced Wan 'er to make a poisonous oath. How can this oath be broken? If you don't tell me earlier, it will always be like a thorn in my heart. "
Princess Taiping's expression darkened and she asked gently, "You … have she told you about the oath?"
"Yes!"
"Did she tell you what I said?"
"Do you need to say it? You and I are allies. Of course, allies can also be abandoned! So … if I say that you came to save me because you and I have a common goal and we are allies, I will be speaking against my conscience. However, I appreciate your kindness, but it doesn't mean that I can let you bully my woman. I am very angry about this! I am really angry! "
"Your woman …"
Princess Taiping listened and felt a little sad. If the person Yang Fan was talking about was her, how good it would be. Unfortunately, she had to play the role of the one who bullied his woman.
Princess Taiping lowered her eyes and said softly, "I said to her, 'If I can't get it, you can't get it either. I can save her, but you have to make a poisonous oath. If you break the oath, then he will … '"
Princess Taiping was silent for a moment. She raised her eyes and asked, "Do you understand?"
Yang Fan frowned and said blankly, "What do I understand?"
Princess Taiping's face was a little red and she said, "I said, if I can't get it, you can't get it either. This is … the premise of her poisonous oath! So … so it's not unsolvable … "
Yang Fan thought for a moment and suddenly understood! He was shocked and his expression was complicated! Then …
The expression on his face became more and more interesting. Princess Taiping lowered her eyes and didn't dare to look at him. She secretly glanced at his expression and her face became redder and redder like a hen laying eggs for the first time. In fact, this bold princess sometimes liked to be shy.
Yang Fan's expression kept changing. After a while, he suddenly said in a low voice, "But when you made Xiao Man swear, you didn't say that?"
Princess Taiping glanced at him faintly and said faintly, "Because … I didn't know that you loved her so much. I only thought that it was enough if she didn't pester you. Isn't it good to have one less person to share with me? But … you can like Xiao Man after Wan Er, why can't you like me? "
"How can I be with you?"
"Why not?"
Princess Taiping raised her head and her eyes were shining, "Now everyone thinks that I am with you. What about it? As for the future, it is not impossible for me to divorce the emperor's son-in-law. If the emperor's son-in-law divorces me, I can also do it! "
"Impossible! As long as your mother is alive, it is absolutely impossible! You are the only daughter of the Empress. It doesn't matter who your husband is. The important thing is that his surname is Wu! "
"When she is alive, I can be with you without any status. My mother is getting on in years. One day, she will leave me! "
"So what? At that time, you can have a status? "
Princess Taiping was silent for a while and became angry, "Now I can be with you without any status. In the future … can't they give up their status?"
Seeing that Yang Fan's eyes became sharp, Princess Taiping quickly gave in and explained, "It is not that I want to be aggressive, but because of my identity … Even if my Elder Brother is the emperor, he will not allow his sister to share a husband with another woman. Unless, I am the emperor! "
After saying this, Princess Taiping suddenly became stunned. Her eyes suddenly brightened and no one knew what she was thinking.
Yang Fan said, "If you are the emperor, I will not be your empress! There is already an empress in the world. Perhaps she has the ability to be an emperor better than many men, but because of the opposition of the people, her wisdom and energy were used to eradicate the dissidents. As a result, if it were not for the strong foundation laid by the two generations of the Taizong and Gaozong, she killed so many members of the royal family, good ministers and famous generals, and the world would have long been rotten! "
These words were simply rebellious, but the two people in the cabin had the idea of "after the empress, they will restore Li Tang's empire." Naturally, they would not care about these words.
Yang Fan said in a deep voice, "Therefore, one empress is enough. No one can stand another one. Unless there is a day when the women in this world can be on equal footing with the men, you'd better give up on this idea."
Princess Taiping said, "Let's not talk about the world, let's talk about you and me first!"
Yang Fan said, "Speaking of you and me, I am naturally grateful to be able to win the heart of Your Highness. But Your Highness's plan is always unbearable. You always feel that you have suffered a lot and made a lot of concessions, but you never seem to think about other people's feelings. "
"Xiao Man is my first wife, and Wan 'er and I have been in love for a long time. I will be with them for a long time, and in the future, we will have children. Then, one day, you tell me to divorce them and kick out the children they gave birth to for me. But your magnanimity is … you can allow them to secretly contact me without a name. You still feel that you have made a great sacrifice and suffered a great grievance! "
Princess Taiping was somewhat at a loss and said, "What did I say or do wrong? What is wrong? "
Yang Fan held his forehead and said in distress, "Your Highness, you've been high and mighty since you were born, noble beyond words. Your identity is naturally different from ours. As a child of the royal family, your thinking will never be on the same level as ours. I don't know how to communicate with you. "
Princess Taiping frowned tightly and looked innocent.
Even though she was extremely smart, she still couldn't understand what Yang Fan was talking about. She was a descendant of the Emperor, and indeed had an essential difference from ordinary people. Her identity, her environment, made it impossible for her thinking to stand on the same level as ordinary people.
Yang Fan's previous worries were not wrong. Some things were deeply rooted in the bone marrow along with a person's living environment and status. When it was formed, it was difficult to change because of other things, even if it was love. The longer they were together, the more estrangement and divergence there would be.
The prince and the princess lived a happy life from then on. That was a fairy tale.
They might be together sweetly, or they might be more and more bored; they might be intimate, or they might have an affair; they might have a cute little prince or princess, or they might be resentful towards each other because they couldn't have a child; they might be four generations living under the same roof, or they might have a conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. They might still be happy, or they might be sleeping in the same bed …
As for a princess, marrying a poor boy who lived at the bottom of society since childhood, and still being able to be very harmonious with him, that was a fairy tale among fairy tales!
