C348 Unexpected visitor (2/2)
This was the envoy.
The owner of the shop at the side did not know that Xiao Wen was Foreigners. He looked at Xiao Wen and said softly: ”This is Princess Gao Yang, she is His Majesty's daughter. If you offend her, you'll be offending the royal family and His Majesty. You are courting death for doing this! Listen to me. Return the dagger. ”Wait, I'll find you another one that's good enough.”
If it was the shop owner of the black shop from before, Xiao Wen would have already returned when he heard this. However, he could feel that the owner of this shop was a kind-hearted person. Thus, he only chuckled and said, ”Don't worry, nothing will happen to you. This Princess Gao Yang wants my dagger, it's not that easy. ”
Although he said that, Xiao Wen still did not dare to be careless. After all, although Princess Gao Yang could not be considered to be someone with overflowing authority, there was still a huge difference between her and the Han Empire's Lu Yuan and Guan Tao.
However, what she had done in the past made Xiao Wen have no choice but to be cautious.
According to the《 New Tang Book》, the year of Princess Gao Yang's birth was unknown. The order in which the Princess passed down her teachings determined that Gao Yang was the 17th Princess of the Tang Sect.
The history researchers had verified that, fifteen years ago, Princess Gao Yang had already been married to the founder of the Empire, Fang Xuanling's second son, Fang Shishi.
And amongst all the people present, Princess Tai Zong, who was the youngest to marry, was 12 years old. Princess Gao Yang was born at the end of her Wu De or at the beginning of her chastity temple, so she should be the most likely to marry.
However, considering that Li Yuan had been in the position of world line for a very long time, this caused some changes to the Tang Kingdom s. Therefore, Xiao Wen was not surprised that Princess Gao Yang, who was originally born in the first year of the Chastity Temple, could now be fifteen or sixteen years old.
Princess Gao Yang's mother could not be examined, but most people believed that the possibility of a concubine appearing was due to Princess Gao Yang's circumstances.
If Princess Gao Yang was born a concubine, it could also be because of Imperial Concubine Wei's solid information that only Ji Wang and Princess Lin Chuan were born together with Tai Zong. Other concubines among the senior concubines are more likely.
After all, Tang Tai Zong, Li Shimin, had twenty-one surviving princesses. The reason Princess Gao Yang could receive Li Shimin's special treatment might be because she was often seen to be overjoyed by the heavens, but at the same time, it was also extremely compatible with Li Shimin's temper. According to the records, Princess Gao Yang was deeply in love with her.
However, if Princess Gao Yang was just a pampered princess, that would still be alright. Forget about a favored princess, even if it was the empress, Xiao Wen wouldn't give her face.
After all, as Liu Bang's representative, he wanted to be neither humble nor arrogant in front of Li Shimin.
However, what Princess Gao Yang was truly troubled about was another attribute of hers that could potentially cause Xiao Wen trouble.
According to historical records, after Princess Gao Yang got married, she had a secret affair with the author of ”Records of the Western Regions of the Great Tang Dynasty”.
This also caused Princess Gao Yang to be extremely resentful. Reportedly, after Li Shimin passed away, she did not have a single trace of grief.
If this princess was truly such a coquettish person, then Xiao Wen would indeed need to be careful. After all, no matter how beautiful a beauty was, as long as the other party possessed an extremely sensitive political identity, Xiao Wen would still fear them slightly.
Xiao Wen didn't know if the current Li Shimin was like how he planned to marry Lu Yuan to, who was from the King Zhao. He already had the thought of marrying Princess Gao Yang into a house as a political marriage. However, Xiao Wen, who had already been harassed to the point of becoming a little shadow by Lu Yuan, did indeed have a reaction to the princess' actions. Therefore, Xiao Wen was indeed very afraid of interacting with Princess Gao Yang, and was afraid that it would cause him some unnecessary trouble.
