"Sister Changle!"
"Sister Gao Yang!"
In the Mo clan, a scene of deep sisterhood was enough to move people. This was the first time Princess Gao Yang had paid a visit to Princess Changle since she had gotten married.
"Sister Gao Yang, you've just gotten married. How do you have time to visit me?" Princess Changle smiled. Even though she did not get along with Princess Gao Yang in the past, they were still sisters for many years. Moreover, she was the elder sister, so she obviously would not take it to heart.
Princess Gao Yang said with an aggrieved expression, "Sister Changle, please don't make fun of me. Prince Consort Zhangsun has official business and is constantly busy. How can I be as happy as you? Back then, you even had brother-in-law to accompany you on your honeymoon."
Princess Changle could not help but smile sweetly. The two sisters spoke intimately, appearing to be very happy.
"Actually, I've come today to discuss something with you!" Princess Gao Yang said softly after a few cups of tea.
"Oh!" Princess Changle raised an eyebrow. She put down her teacup and said, "Sister, please speak."
"I've come today to mediate between the Zhangsun clan and the Mo clan," Princess Gao Yang said straightforwardly.
"Mediate? Where did that come from? How come I don't know about the conflict between the two clans? "Princess Changle pretended to be confused.
Princess Gao Yang smiled bitterly, "Sister Changle, please don't dismiss me. Recently, the Zhangsun clan and the Mo clan have been in an uproar over the matter of iron ore. However, the Zhangsun clan is still sister Changle's maternal uncle's family. We're all family. Don't let outsiders see us as a joke."
Princess Changle put down her teacup and said seriously, "Sister Gao Yang is right. We are indeed family. However, when the Zhangsun clan suppressed the Mo clan, we never thought we would be family! Now that the Mo clan has gained the upper hand, why would the Zhangsun clan think of us as family? "
Princess Changle had never had a good impression of her maternal uncle's family. In particular, the conflict between the Zhangsun clan and the Mo clan had always been instigated by the Zhangsun clan, so Princess Changle naturally stood on the Mo clan's side.
Princess Gao Yang said apologetically, "In the past, it was the Zhangsun Estate's fault. If our two families fight, it will only be seen as a joke by outsiders, and it will also make things difficult for the Empress. Why don't we make peace? This will allow both families to benefit, and also allow the Empress to be at ease."
"Mother?" Princess Changle couldn't help but hesitate when Princess Gao Yang mentioned Empress Zhangsun. Although they had the Azure Dragon True Medicine, it hadn't completely cured Empress Zhangsun's illness. All these years, Empress Zhangsun's health hadn't been good. If this matter agitated Empress Zhangsun again, it would be bad.
"Reporting to the Princess, His Highness Emperor Wei requests an audience." Just as Princess Changle was in a dilemma, Liu E hurriedly came to report.
"Second Brother has returned?" Princess Changle's face lit up with joy. Ever since Emperor Wei, Li Tai, started studying geography, he had always been exploring the Tang dynasty's territory. He rarely returned to the capital. She didn't expect him to return at this time.
"This concubine also hasn't seen Brother Qingque in a long time!" Princess Gao Yang's joyful face hid a trace of regret. She had almost succeeded in making Changle agree. With Changle's status, she could easily influence Mo Jiazi's decision.
"Quickly invite him in!" Princess Changle's face lit up with joy.
Very soon, Li Tai hurried over and looked around excitedly.
"Second Brother!"
"Greetings, Brother Qingque!"
Changle and Gao Yang both went up to greet him.
However, Li Tai turned a blind eye to his two sisters. He repeatedly looked around and anxiously asked, "Where's Meton?"
"Meton went to the Taoist External Alchemy division. He said that he was continuing to improve the Iron Restoration Secret Technique," Princess Changle replied.
"Immortality of matter and the Iron Restoration Secret Technique. The Taoist External Alchemy division is indeed worthy of its thousand-year-old heritage. It's indeed extraordinary. However, I's geography division also doesn't lose to any of the other schools," Li Tai said proudly.
"Among us siblings, Brother Qingque is the most talented," Princess Gao Yang complimented from the side.
Li Tai said proudly, "On my way back, I heard that the Taoist External Alchemy division helped Meton a lot. However, I'm not bad either. I found a super large iron mine for the Mo family. From now on, the Mo family won't have to worry about a lack of iron anymore."
"Super large iron mine!" Princess Changle and Princess Gao Yang exclaimed at the same time.
Li Tai nodded and said, "I was exploring the source of the Yangtze River in Sichuan when I suddenly received a request for help from Meton. He asked me to help him find an iron mine. In the end, I found a super large iron mine in the Panzhihua area in the southern part of Sichuan. According to the exploration, its reserves are probably equivalent to the total amount of iron reserves in the Tang dynasty. It's enough for the Mo family to use for a hundred years. Meton won't have to worry about a lack of iron anymore."
"The total amount of iron ore is enough for the Mo family to use for a hundred years." Princess Gao Yang couldn't help but be in a daze. Now that the Mo family had a super large iron mine and the Iron Restoration Secret Technique, they had become the overlord of iron in the Tang dynasty. The Zhangsun family's position in the iron industry had instantly fallen.
"Really?" Princess Changle said in disbelief.
Li Tai waved his hand and said boldly, "Of course. If you ask me, Meton has found someone. In terms of the ability to search for ores in the world, who else but my geography division can do it? But I'll say the ugly words first. Although we are siblings, Meton promised a reward of ten thousand coins. My geography division is in urgent need of money right now."
"The Hundred Schools of Thought!" Princess Gao Yang couldn't help but feel bitter in her heart. If it was the Iron Restoration Secret Technique of the Taoist School of External Alchemy that had saved the Mo family, and Li Tai's geography division had dealt a fatal blow to the Zhangsun family. Thinking back to the time when the Zhangsun family had joined forces with the world's iron industry to besiege the Village of Mo, everyone had thought that the Village of Mo would be doomed.
But who would have thought that Mo Jiazi would be indifferent? He didn't even have to do anything. The Zhangsun family had been utterly defeated by the Taoist School of External Alchemy and geography divisions, and the price was only twenty thousand coins. During this period of time, the losses of the world's iron industry would probably be more than that. With this, the Zhangsun family would probably become the biggest laughing stock of the Tang dynasty.
Li Tai looked left and right, and finally confirmed that Meton really wasn't there. He couldn't help but sigh regretfully. This was the moment for his geography division to hold their heads high. It was a pity that Mo Jiazi couldn't witness this scene with his own eyes.
"Since Meton isn't here, I'll go back to the palace to see my father now!" Li Tai just remembered that he was too excited. As soon as he entered Chang 'an City, he hurried to the Mo Mansion and didn't go back to the palace to see Li Shimin!
"See you off, Second Brother!" Princess Changle stood up and said to see him off.
Li Tai waved his hand and hurriedly walked out of the Mo Mansion. He mounted the horse and went to the palace without looking back.
"It's getting late. I have to go." Princess Gao Yang looked lonely and didn't mention the reconciliation between the Zhangsun family and the Mo Mansion anymore. After all, only two people with equal strength would reconcile. Now that the Mo's Village had surpassed the Zhangsun family, it would only bring disgrace to the Zhangsun family if she mentioned reconciliation again. Moreover, the Zhangsun family didn't need to be reconciled out of charity.
"Then I won't see you off. I got married early, so I have a word of advice for Sister Gao Yang. Men should take care of external affairs and women should take care of domestic affairs. We women shouldn't get involved in the matters between men. Knowing our place and being a good wife to our husband and children is also a kind of happiness." Princess Changle advised.
"You're right, Sister!" Princess Gao Yang agreed in a low voice.
After leaving the Mo Mansion, Princess Gao Yang's face was gloomy. She was originally full of confidence in her plan to reconcile, but it was unexpectedly disrupted by Li Tai. This made her fall short of success.
"You're the eldest princess of the Tang dynasty, the mistress of the Mo Family, and the head of the Red Cross Society. What do I, Gao Yang, have? I have to fight for everything with my own hands." Princess Gao Yang said with a firm gaze.
