On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 83
When receiving Yang Yong's invitation, Cui Che's first reaction was to reject it, because he was afraid that Yang Guang would misunderstand it.

But after thinking about it carefully, I still took it, not only for myself, but also for Yang Guang.

When he was out of the town and state, Yang Guang often showed his favor to Yang Yong, in order to numb his elder brother and trick him into letting go of his guard. Cui Che, as Yang Guang's confidant, rejected him thousands of miles away, wouldn't it be suspicious.

Besides, offending the crown prince will not benefit Cui Che's official career.

And Yang Jian just gave him a hint, there is no certainty, and he may turn his face and deny it at any time. At this critical moment, Cui Che does not want to provoke Yang Yong to play tricks.

He is the son-in-law of the Yang family!

On August [-]th, the Mid-Autumn Festival, Cui Che took the gifts he had already chosen, and was driven by the coachman of Fuzhong to the East Palace for the banquet.

The carriage stopped not far from the palace gate, Cui Che stepped out of the carriage, and was about to enter the palace when he heard someone calling from behind:
"Zi Cheng!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Cui Che turned his head in surprise, and indeed saw his former classmate Dou Wei, but beside him was a woman who was the second sister of Princess Jin and Dou Wei's wife.

Dou Wei got married last year, Cui Che, Yang Xuangan, and Pei Xiu were all in Bingzhou, they couldn't come back to congratulate, today is also the first time Cui Che saw his wife.

Cui Che bowed to the two and said:

"Wen Wei, Madam Sister-in-law."

"This is Cui Che, Cui Zicheng, my roommate and close friend when I was studying, and now he works in Hebei Dao Xingtai, assisting your sister-in-law, His Highness King Jin."

After Dou Wei introduced to his wife, he turned around and pretended to accuse Cui Che:
"Well, you Cui Zicheng, you won't come looking for me when you return to Chang'an!"

Cui Che repeatedly accused him of crimes. He returned to Chang'an on the thirteenth day. He drank late at the palace banquet before returning home. Yesterday he had to call on Cui Xuanyou, Cui Hongdu and other elders of the clan, as well as his mentor Xu Wenyuan outside the city. Where would the time come? to visit friends.

But Dou Wei also knew that he hadn't returned for a long time and was busy with business, so he didn't really blame him. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and then they revealed the matter.

Seeing Cui Che coming alone, Dou Xiaoshi asked curiously:
"Mr. Cui's family is not married yet?"

Although Cui Che is young, only thirteen, but his height is no different from that of sixteen or seventeen years old, it is not surprising that Dou Xiao has this doubt, after all, in this era, marriage at the age of sixteen or seventeen can be regarded as a late marriage for noble men.

"The marriage was advocated by the grandmother at home, and Che never asked."

But Dou Wei sees it through and doesn't tell the truth, what grandmother advocated, when Cui Che was under seven years old, he followed Yang Xuangan to go to his cousin Dou Yi's house to be elected, why did he ever ask his grandmother who is far away in Hebei.

Thinking of this, Dou Wei became sad again. Dou Yi passed away at the beginning of the year at the age of 64.

Dou Wei and Cui Che entered the palace hand in hand, and on the way to the East Palace, Dou Yi's death was mentioned.

Cui Che sighed deeply. When he was young, he loved to show off, but thanks to Dou Yi's advice from Dou Wei, he put away his sharpness and devoted himself to studying under Xu Wenyuan.

Cui Che was very resentful for the threshold set by Dou Yi when he chose a husband for his daughter.

Hearing the news of his death now, there are mixed feelings for a while, the daughter of the Dou family lost her father, but I can't comfort her well, I always feel ashamed of Zhou Wu Emperor Yu Wenyong.

When he burned the paper for Yu Wenyong, he promised to take good care of his niece on his behalf, and Yu Wenyong also agreed by default.

After entering the East Palace, Cui Che separated from Dou Wei and his wife, and each went to say hello to people they knew well. There were many familiar faces here, such as Li Chong, the Cui family, and former shogunate colleagues including Gao Jiong.

Yang Yong hosted a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and Gao Jiong, the father-in-law, naturally wanted to attend.

Today's banquet, Yang Yong brought three women to meet the guests, one of them was naturally the Crown Princess Yuanshi, the second was Gao Jiong's daughter Gao Liangdi, and the third was the eldest son Yang Yansheng's mother Yun Zhaoxun.

Gao Liangdi was able to attend, naturally because of her father Gao Jiong, and it was precisely to win Gao Jiong over. Gao Liangdi was quite favored by Yang Yong, but among the women in the Eastern Palace, Yun Zhaoxun was the one who could be compared to the Crown Princess.

Yun Zhaoxun and Yang Yong got acquainted in the folks, married and became pregnant. They got on the train first and paid for the ticket later. They gave birth to Yang Yong's eldest son, Yang Yan.

But this eldest grandson is not loved by Yang Jian and his wife. Needless to say, Dugu Jialuo values ​​blood lineage the most, how can a concubine conceived by a wild marriage get into her eyes.

Even Yang Jian sighed with emotion when he first saw his eldest grandson:

"This is the grandson of the emperor, why can't he be born?" '

It is also a pity why this eldest grandson was not born by the crown prince.

This is why Yang Yong is still working hard to make people when he clearly has children.

After Cui Che greeted the acquaintances and paid homage to the crown prince, he was lured to his seat by the servants of the Eastern Palace.

Of course, Yang Yong would not go out of his way to win over Cui Che. Inviting him to the East Palace is already showing goodwill, and Cui Che's official position is not worthy of being condescended by the Crown Prince of the Sui Dynasty.

Cui Che was sitting on the seat drinking wine, while secretly looking at the livid face of the Crown Princess Yuanshi.

Who would want two concubines to share the glory of being the first wife.

According to Cui Che's knowledge, this Yuan family finally got angry out of his mind. To be honest, no woman can bear a husband who spoils his concubine and destroys his wife.

But ask yourself, in Cui Che's view, Yun Zhaoxun is far more beautiful than the Crown Princess, so it's no wonder Yang Yong couldn't hold back and had sex with her.

It's just that Yun Zhaoxun has a father who is holding back.

Cui Che cast his eyes on Yun Dingxing who was wearing a fancy dress and talking with others.

Yun Dingxing was originally an official of the Northern Qi Dynasty. After the death of Qi Dynasty, he moved to Chang'an. His daughter was canonized as Zhaoxun, and he was able to make a fortune. He often went to the East Palace, presenting exotic clothes and precious jade articles to Yang Yongjin, and tempting Yang Yong to neglect government affairs and indulge himself in singing songs.

It's just that Yang Jian and his wife admire frugality the most, and hate extravagance. Yun Dingxing's behavior can't please them in their eyes.

But the pig teammate next to Yang Yong is the god assist of his own camp. Cui Che looked at Yun Dingxing and thought it was very cute.

Of course, if this person is her father-in-law, Brother Che must get rid of him.

After all, after Yang Yong's death, Yun Dingxing switched to Yang Guang, and treated Yang Yong's son and his own grandsons decisively and ruthlessly:
'For these useless bereaved dogs, just persuade the emperor to kill them. '

At this banquet, Yang Yong was busy contacting senior ministers and other ministers, and did not pay much attention to Cui Che.

Cui Che was also happy to concentrate on eating wine and meat. After eating too much, Cui Che felt something in his stomach, so he asked his servants, got up and went to the toilet.

Following the guidance of the servants, Cui Che passed a garden, but saw a woman in a palace dress sitting alone in the gazebo, looking at the bright moon in the sky with her chin resting.

Looking closely at the woman, she is probably in her early twenties, with an oval face and beautiful eyebrows and eyes. She is looking at the moon in the sky intently, giving people a sense of elegance and tranquility.

Seeing her wearing a bun, Cui Che thought to himself:
'Could this woman be Yang Yong's concubine? '
