Chapter 110: The Tang Dynasty Princess Marries into the World

  Su Wan was indeed a gentle and virtuous woman, just as Li Shimin had said. After marrying into the Eastern Palace at the age of 13 to become the Crown Prince's consort, she managed the palace with diligence and care, allowing Ya Ge to have no worries about her family. Coming from a noble background and being an intelligent woman, she naturally wouldn't blindly devote her heart to her husband.

  Her husband was the crown prince, the future master of the world. How could there be only one woman by his side? However, as time passed, they had been married for seven years, and in the Eastern Palace, apart from her, the Crown Princess, there were no other women. Her heart couldn't help but waver slightly.

  The tenderness of Ya Ge's care, day after day and year after year, has never changed in the slightest. Even with her mother's repeated reminders before she got married and the deep worry in her father's eyes, she... couldn't help but let her heart run wild again.

  As the crown prince's consort, she clearly understood the pressure he bore. No matter how excellent he was, whether it was the emperor or the courtiers who were satisfied with him, without an heir, he could not fully secure his position as crown prince.

  She had suggested to Ya Ge that he take a concubine, but he just smiled and changed the subject. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but let out a deep sigh. The Empress Dowager also often summoned her to the Li Zheng Hall for the sake of having children, and the imperial physician had examined them, but both she and the Crown Prince were fine.

  "How can one sit here alone?" A clear voice came, followed by a cyan cloak with body temperature draped over her, "The autumn dew is heavy, and you must take care of your body, Wan'er. If those maids are so useless, just change them."

  Su Wan stood up and turned her head to meet the pair of eyes filled with concern, hastily saying: "I have seen you, Your Highness. It's not that the maids are not diligent, it's just that I wanted to be alone for a while, so I dismissed them all."

  "What are you thinking about again, hmm?" He walked slowly to the main hall with her hand in his, and Yage's gentle tone was tinged with dissatisfaction. "Wan'er, I've said it before, having children is a matter of fate, our kids will come to us sooner or later. Or is it that you don't believe me?"

  "Your Highness..."

  Su Wan's soft red lips had an additional long, slender finger with distinct joints on them. The owner of the finger smiled warmly: "Wan'er, I've said it before, when we're alone in private, you can just call me Yage directly. You are my wife, the one who shares everything with me, no need to be so polite."

  Su Wan's lips parted slightly, and she felt the temperature of his fingers on her lips as if they were going to scorch her. She didn't not want to believe him, but rather dared not believe him. She wasn't unwilling to call out his name, but rather dared not do so. Even though her heart had already cracked open a gap for him to enter, she still didn't want to sink in that quickly.

  A woman who has lost her heart is easily ruined by a man beyond all hope of recovery.

  "Alright, I won't force you to call me that if you really can't." Yage narrowed her eyes, withdrew her hand and grasped Wan'er's soft earlobe, lightly kissing it. "But I believe that sooner or later, I'll make you call me that way." Her other hand gently tapped on Wan'er's chest, "In your heart, there must be me, just like how you are in my heart."

  For the seven years she had been married to Yage, he had always been gentle and refined, but today, speaking such bold and intimate words with a domineering tone, made Su Wan's face flush with excitement. In her heart and eyes, there was only one person who belonged to her, the contradictory yet reserved... Prince Zhangyang.

  If Your Highness really belongs to her alone, Su Wan is willing to give up everything.

  "My Wan'er, I don't want to be like the Emperor with a full harem of concubines. What I've always wanted is one person for life. Yage said with a bewitching tone, words that most women can't resist, "Wan'er knows me and understands me, managing the East Palace for me, such a beautiful and lovely wife, what more could I ask for?"

  Su Wan's delicate phoenix eyes reddened, and she blinked to suppress the welling tears. Her lord always knew how to move her. When she first entered the Eastern Palace, she only wanted to be a qualified crown princess, just like Empress Changsun, a crown princess whom everyone praised.

  But he gently and patiently infiltrated her life, eventually directly invading her heart. She knew that he had a lot of pressure on him, and she was the same. The crown prince refused to take concubines and only doted on the crown princess, the crown princess was good at being jealous and so on, such rumors affected other daughters of the Su family.

  She did not expect that the prince would stand up like that, without hesitation, and make his position clear in the imperial court: "I will only have one wife, the crown princess. I don't need any concubines. It's not that the crown princess is jealous, but as a prince, I should consider more for my sisters and daughters! I'm just setting an example, hoping that my brothers-in-law and sons-in-law will also only have one wife each!"

  "All of you gentlemen also have daughters, do you want your own daughters to fight with other women for a man's favor? The princesses in my imperial family can change their husbands if they are not satisfied with their marriage life, but do your daughters dare to do so?"

  Such a reason is better than not wanting to spoil concubines, not wanting children in the backyard to fight and so on. In this era that pays great attention to the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, all of the above are nothing. The imperial court's laws clearly stated that titles can only be inherited by legitimate sons, and illegitimate sons cannot inherit! It is precisely because of this that the harem struggles outside the palace were not as fierce as in later generations.

  The imperial palace is different after all, the emperor must have an heir, if there are no legitimate sons, then naturally the illegitimate son can take over. Therefore, the back house of the imperial palace is always the dirtiest place in the world, at any time.

  But Ya Ge's words struck a chord with many men, most of whom have double standards. These adults are no exception. They don't think it's a big deal to have multiple women in their own backyard and that of their sons, but when it comes to their daughters, they want them to be happy and well-married.

  It's just a pity that, no matter how much they dote on their daughter, they won't be willing to give up the benefits of being a man for her sake. The crown prince's choice can only make them look up to him in admiration. But also, nobody openly opposed Yage, didn't Emperor Yang of Sui also exclusively favor Empress Dugu? What's wrong with their crown prince exclusively favoring his crown princess?!

  At most, it's just that in the future, as the husband of a princess who is the daughter of the emperor and empress, he will have to work harder!

  When the Crown Prince said this, the four husbands of the Emperor's daughters had already taken concubines, except for one person - Chang Le Gong Zhu, the eldest daughter of the Emperor who was married not long ago.

  The Princess of Changle's husband, Zhangsun Chong, had a deep affection for her since childhood, and after marriage, they were harmonious as husband and wife. Both Zhangsun Wuji and Zhangsun Chong praised her highly. The Princess of Changle was indeed different from the other four princesses who seemed a bit arrogant earlier. Although she exuded an air of nobility and elegance typical of imperial noblewomen, she also possessed the gentle and virtuous qualities unique to women.

  It's really admirable, and it's no wonder she was raised by Empress Longsun, this princess is indeed one of a kind!

  If all the princesses born to Empress Changsun were as talented and gentle as Princess Changle, it would not be bad even if there was only one princess as a wife. Especially since this could also establish a relationship with the crown prince, wouldn't that be the best choice!

  Nowadays, who doesn't praise the crown prince for having loving brothers and sisters? In the past, people thought he only had one crown princess and not many good officials spoke out. As long as the crown princess can give birth to children for the crown prince, it can be said that everything is perfect.

  Yahiko received a message that Li Shimin had received some news and was preparing to sneak out of the palace in disguise, so he thought it was time to release some information. Since the Crown Prince's consort wasn't his target, he used hypnosis on her regarding the matter at hand.

  When the two got married, the crown princess was only thirteen years old. Yage really couldn't bear to touch such a young loli, so he could only choose to put her to sleep. It wasn't until she turned eighteen that he officially made her his woman, so it's normal that there were no children before that. After all, when the two were together, they didn't do anything, and it was just Su Wan's dream.

  His medical skills, even if not divine, could be said to be those of a master. He was very familiar with all the symptoms of his Crown Princess's body. Wanting her to become pregnant was an easy matter. All he needed to do was calculate Su Wan's ovulation period, then use his inner sight and manipulate the appropriate sperm to combine with the egg, and the problem of an heir would be solved.

  In the Qing Dynasty, Ya Ge was also doing so.

  In theory, it's not easy for a cultivator to have descendants. Yage guessed that perhaps he didn't bring the knowledge of cultivation to these task worlds, and they all lived out their lives as ordinary people, so he could give birth to heirs with the task target.

  So was it because in the world of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, he and Wong Yung didn't have any descendants?

  All these problems just flashed through Yage's mind, and the main problem now is how to brush down Li Shimin, the biggest boss in the imperial palace, after Li Shimin and Huansha girl's private daughter enters the palace!

  Just three days before Li Shimin was about to announce his intention to sneak out of the palace, the Crown Prince's consort had some good news. One day at noon, because she smelled fish soup and felt nauseous, the Crown Prince's consort couldn't help but vomit. The palace staff and servants immediately called for the imperial physician, who diagnosed that the Crown Prince's consort was already over a month pregnant!

  Good news came, Li Shimin and Changsun were both overjoyed. Changsun was even more generous with her gifts and various medicines and fabrics, sending them into the East Palace like flowing water. Her eldest son had made it clear that there would only be one woman, the Crown Princess, and after seven years of marriage, she was finally pregnant, so she was naturally ecstatic.

  Even if she had some reservations about Su Wan before, at this moment she was also happy.

  As a woman, as an empress dowager, it would be strange if she didn't have any thoughts about Su Wan! Although Empress Zhangsun was favored by Emperor Taizong of Tang, there were many women in his harem. The selection of imperial consorts had not stopped over the years either. There weren't many high-ranking consorts in the palace, but there were plenty of lower-ranking ones like Baolin and Cairen!

  Su Wan easily gained all the favor of her son, and there was no other woman to share this favor. Even if Changsun had been virtuous and magnanimous, it would have been impossible for her not to feel jealous! However, her son did gain the full support of the Su family because of this, which was a good piece of news. Although Li Shimin had always suppressed the aristocratic families, he still needed their support at present!

  However, Empress Longsun was not an ordinary woman. Even if she was dissatisfied with Su Wan, when her husband and son were both very satisfied with the crown prince's consort, she would not deliberately show disdain for the crown prince's consort. At most, she would just give the crown prince's consort some minor difficulties to deal with.

  Now the crown princess is pregnant, and everything is different again. If she gives birth to a boy this time, Yage's position as crown prince will be even more secure. In that case, her several daughters can also have only one husband each, just like their elder brother said!

  Because the Crown Prince's consort was pregnant, Li Shimin, who had originally wanted to leave the palace immediately, delayed for a while and did not leave the imperial palace until March of the 16th year of the Zhenguan era. He went to the small village where he had lived with his concubine for over a month at the beginning, and met his six-year-old daughter whom he had never known existed before.

  Out of guilt for forgetting the silk-washing girl, Li Shimin brought this daughter back to the palace, gave her a proper name and bestowed upon her the title of Princess Zhaoyang, raising her under the name of Consort Wei.

  The author has something to say: The setting of the potato is that Li Shimin met a silk washer girl in the eighth year of Zhenguan, and Zhao Yang was born in the ninth year of Zhenguan.

  The plot was that she returned to the palace at the age of six, but here it was delayed by about a year. The crown prince's wife being pregnant is naturally more important than this illegitimate princess, and Emperor Taizong can still distinguish between these two points for now.

  Potatoes are still hesitant now, really want to write Tang Taizong into a TV drama brain-dead...

  In the next chapter, in the 17th year of the Zhenguan era, it was the year when Li Chengqian rebelled and was deposed, and many things happened that year!

  This year, Princess Changle died, Wei Zheng died, and there were a series of events.

  Potatoes here, should be a year above Yagao.

  Then, Tuber found out that it was not written that Li Yu had already died and would be mentioned slightly later.

  Finally, thank you Blood-Crying Song's landmine~

  Tomorrow's update should be the draft box because Taro was on the train at that time.

  P.S: Regarding the typos, let's correct them together when Tudou is less busy in Fujian. Recently, I'm really not energetic enough!
