Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4836 Couple’s Night Talk
Her country has been destroyed, her family has been ruined, and she is in a foreign country. The loneliness and fear that arises from the depths of her soul often linger in her dreams at midnight. She can't sleep at night and her food has no taste. She is just like the yellow leaves falling in the wind outside the window, drifting away with nowhere to go.

She can live without a man, but not without a child.

The continuation of her bloodline would give her more sense of security, and having a child with the most outstanding man in the Tang Dynasty would also allow her to have more ties and connections with this land and this country.

As for status, it doesn’t matter.

According to the agreement made with the Tang Dynasty when Silla submitted to the Tang Dynasty, even if Silla became a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty and was governed by a Tang prince, her title as Queen of Silla would remain, and her direct descendants would be granted the title of King of Silla from generation to generation. In addition, with the wealth of the Kim family that she brought to the Tang Dynasty, and the fiefdom that still remained in Silla, why would her children need a title to demonstrate their dignity?

The fallen leaves of a willow tree outside the window blocked the prying eyes from the outside world. The graceful body standing in front of the window looked like a jade sculpture, with black hair, jade-like skin, and a slender waist. Especially the self-esteem in her words was full of an indescribable charm, which made people want to conquer her involuntarily.

Fang Jun swallowed his saliva, jumped up from the couch, stepped forward, put his hands on her waist, and followed her...

How could he not devote himself to the cause when the former ruler of a country asked him only for a child?

……

After returning to the mansion to bathe, change clothes and have dinner, Fang Jun came to the flower hall with a book. The autumn night in Guanzhong was already a little chilly, but the flower hall was still warm. He lay on the beauty couch, leaning against the jade pillow to read, with lush flowers and trees beside him and the starry sky above his head. He felt very relaxed and comfortable.

The Tao Te Ching can be regarded as the root of Chinese culture. Its profoundness is enough to demonstrate the philosophy of the ancient Chinese people and nature. Many of its obscure and profound points are by no means pretentious or random. Fang Jun has read this book several times, but he can get new insights from it every time. Fang Jun firmly believes that if someone can really study the two chapters of "De" and "Dao" thoroughly, he can break the void and get a glimpse of the way of heaven...

He is working on it now.

I heard footsteps and the jingling of jewelry. I regained my consciousness from the book and looked up. It turned out that Princess Gaoyang came in with several maids. A maid put a small table on the couch, and another put a lit small stove on the other side of the couch. They scooped mountain spring water from outside the city into a kettle and put it on the stove. Several plates of dried fruits and cakes were placed on the coffee table, and then they bowed and left one by one.

Princess Gaoyang leaned on the bed, and when she turned around, her snow-white bare feet flashed under her skirt. She stretched out her slender hands to fiddle with the tea set, glanced at the book in Fang Jun's hand, and said with a smile: "I can't sleep anyway, so it's fun to make tea and chat with you, my dear. But why is your husband reading this book? It's too profound and it takes a lot of brainpower. Besides, even if you want to read it, you only need to read the first part. If you can understand it thoroughly and see the big picture from the details, that would be great."

Fang Jun frowned, put down the book in his hand, turned over and sat up, holding her slender waist under her dress with one hand, very dissatisfied: "Your Highness is so sarcastic, but you don't know what crime I have committed?"

"Tao Te Ching" is the name given by later generations. Fang Jun was used to it so he called it that. In fact, the book is divided into two volumes, "De" and "Dao". For example, the one he was reading is said to be a version from the pre-Qin period. If it were in later generations, it would definitely be a national treasure far superior to the Four Sheep Square Tripod, the Houmuwu Ding, and "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". Even the legendary "Imperial Seal" would be slightly inferior to it.

After all, this is the origin of Chinese culture...

But Princess Gaoyang's words have hidden meanings. What does "only look at the first part" mean? The first part is "Virtue" and the second part is "Taoism". Is she scolding him for being "immoral"?

Princess Gaoyang giggled, twisted her slender waist to avoid her husband's scratching, and warned in a tender voice: "Don't make trouble. If you make me burn my hands with boiling water, I will never forgive you!"

"Humph!"

Fang Jun finally stopped, but his hand did not move away, and he subconsciously stroked the slender waist, which felt very good...

Princess Gaoyang followed him and washed the tea set while putting tea leaves into the teapot. She asked casually, "Did you go to Furong Garden at noon?"

Fang Jun was stunned, but he didn't hide it and just nodded.

Women of that era were extremely open-minded. They did not think it was a big deal for their husband to have an affair with a certain woman. In fact, it was normal for them to have one or two lovers outside. Princess Li Tang was especially extreme in this regard.

Therefore, when Princess Gaoyang mentioned this matter, she probably had no intention of being jealous.

Sure enough, Princess Gaoyang washed the tea set and put it on the coffee table. She looked up at the door stealthily and saw that there was no one nearby, so she approached Fang Jun, raised her little face, blushed slightly, and asked in a low voice: "My lord is not a lustful person, but he always goes to look for the Jin sisters... Can it make my lord feel different and get more satisfaction when the two sisters share a husband?"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Fang Jun almost choked on his own saliva. He looked at Princess Gao Yang speechlessly and asked curiously, "Why do you think about this when you have nothing to do every day?"

Princess Gaoyang was also a little shy, and waved her hands pretending to be indifferent: "I'm just curious, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it."

Fang Jun rolled his eyes, hugged Princess Gaoyang's slender waist, and said shamelessly: "This kind of thing can only be understood but not explained. How about Your Highness and Your Highness Changle come together another day... Ouch! You were the one who mentioned it first, why do you still want to hurt others?"

Fang Jun was furious as he rubbed the tender flesh on the inside of his thigh that had been pinched hard.

"Humph, give up this shameful thought as soon as possible, don't even think about it!"

Princess Gaoyang blushed and sternly rejected someone's dirty thoughts.

At this time, the spring water was boiling. Princess Gaoyang took the teapot to make tea. She rolled her eyes at Fang Jun and said, "I know the filthiness of men's hearts, so I am curious about the fact that sisters share a husband, but that's all. Don't think that Sister Changle and I are so shameless. It's understandable that a small country with few people wants to use such means to please a man, but how can Sister Changle and I, the princesses of the Great Tang Dynasty, be so depraved?"

In his words, he had a lot of complaints about the Jin sisters, especially the charming Jin Deman. As the ruler of a country, she looked seductive and seductive, even more charming than Wu Meiniang. How could she be a good person? Poor Jin Shengman was pure and innocent, but she was dragged by her sister to become a tool to please men...

Fang Jun took the teacup and was very dissatisfied: "You brought up the topic, and I just agreed with you, but I became a dirty person. Aren't you stinging for law enforcement?"

Princess Gaoyang naturally knew the meaning of "fishing enforcement". Her husband used this trick to deal with many officials in the court. To this day, some people still cursed him behind his back for being insidious and unethical, and having no bottom line...

Pursing his lips, he smiled smugly: "Who told you to be so foolish as to fall for it? It is said that a gentleman is open and honest, while a villain is always worried. If you have something dirty in your heart, you are certainly not a gentleman. Haha, who can you blame?"

Fang Jun sneered, lowered his head to drink tea, ignored her, but thought in his heart that in history you were more playful than me...

The gardener opened a gap in the glass wall of the flower hall, allowing cool breeze to blow in and dispel the slightly humid air, making it very comfortable and cozy.

Princess Gaoyang took a sip of tea, and seemed very satisfied with the atmosphere of a couple drinking tea and chatting in the same room. Her bright eyes smiled like a crescent moon, and she asked casually, "I heard there's another war in the west?"

"No, it was the Gar tribe that attacked Tubo... You know the Gar tribe, right? They were Lu Dongzan who came to the Tang Dynasty before and wanted to marry the princess."

"Lu Dongzan?"

Princess Gaoyang obviously remembered this person very clearly. She frowned when she heard him. "So it's him. He came to Chang'an to ask for a princess on behalf of some king. We princesses and royal family girls who are close to us were terrified. We were afraid that our fathers would marry us to Tubo and live with those barbarians. I heard that those barbarians not only eat raw meat and drink blood, but also cannot remain a widow after the husband's death. They must 'take over from the younger brother', and they may even remarry their husband's other sons... It's scary to think about it."

Fang Jun was speechless: "Even if you princesses don't do your job and get into trouble every day, you should at least read some books, right? 'Brother inherits brother' and 'father dies son inherits' are the rules of the Xiongnu and Turkic people, but the Tubo people don't do that."

For example, Princess Yicheng of the former Sui Dynasty, who died when Li Jing conquered the Turks in the fourth year of Zhenguan, first married Qimin Khan. After Qimin Khan died, she married his son Shibi Khan. Shibi Khan died again, and then she married Shibi Khan's brother Chuluo Khan. However, Chuluo Khan did not live for many years, so she married Chuluo Khan's brother Jieli Khan again...

However, the Xiongnu and Turkic tradition of "the son inherits the father's property and the younger brother inherits the elder brother's property" also has its own rules, which is that "the elders cannot marry the younger ones."

Princess Gaoyang's eyes were charming, she took her husband's arm and leaned on his shoulder, smiling and said, "If you hadn't proposed to the emperor at that time, 'no marriage, no tribute, no cession of territory, no compensation', forcing the emperor to bite the bullet and reject Lu Dongzan, I'm afraid one of my sisters would definitely have married to Tubo. You don't know how popular you were among the sisters at that time. You were more popular than ever before. As far as I know, there were more than one or two who were willing to offer themselves to you. Tsk tsk, do you regret it?"

"Why should I regret it? Your Highness, you have married me, and Your Highness Changle loves me. This is the blessing I have earned in several lifetimes. I dare not be greedy anymore."

Fang Jun looked righteous and his stance must be firm.

"The sisters of the royal family are all very beautiful."

Fang Jun was not fooled at all: "The old monk Xuanzang once said, 'Seeing a pretty girl is like seeing a skeleton.' What I pursue is a soulmate. Even a beautiful girl would be disdainful to me."

"is it?"

Princess Gaoyang smiled and said, "If the person I'm offering my bed to is Jinyang, I wonder if you can treat him like a skeleton and control yourself as always?"

"……Um?"

Fang Jun was stunned. Why did they talk about Princess Jinyang?
Princess Gaoyang sneered, "Why are you hesitating, my dear? You really have some improper thoughts about Jinyang!"

Fang Jun: "..."

Wouldn't it be better for me to just read books and pursue the supreme heavenly way in them? Why should I chat with her who is ignorant of death?
Women's chats will definitely end in unhappiness...
