Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 229

Sensing the worried look in her mother's eyes, Princess Changle also felt a trace of guilt in her heart. She lowered her head slightly and said in a low voice, "I met the Duke in front of Liangyi Hall yesterday, and I had a few words with him."

Empress Changsun raised her eyebrows and asked, "What did he say to you?"

Princess Changle blushed and said, "He said, he said, that he would have more children in the future, ten or eight..."

They are planning to have a baby before they get married. Empress Changsun couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "How many children to have is God's will, so who can decide? Don't listen to his nonsense, don't be afraid, he really thinks too much." If you want a child, let him give birth to my concubine!"

Princess Changle shook her head and said: "I'm not worried. It's a woman's duty to have more children to carry on the family line. I just think that if there are more children, when the family is separated, each child will not have more property, so I think about it. Embroider some dowry."

The expression on Empress Changsun's face was very strange, she wanted to laugh but held back, you haven't married yet, and you haven't had a child yet, so you're thinking about the separation after you have too many children?

Are you thinking too far?

Empress Changsun couldn't help laughing: "How much dowry can you embroider?"

Princess Changle blushed faintly and sighed: "It's better to have more."

Empress Changsun laughed and said: "Boy Su has so many ideas, one secret recipe after another, he can donate hundreds of thousands of guan, like a god of wealth, and still use you to embroider dowry?"

Princess Changle pouted and said, "But when the children grow up and separate, I will lose face as a mother."

Li Zhi, who had been listening, couldn't help but said, "Sister, I'll give you all my money box!"

Empress Changsun couldn't help giggling when she heard this, she is also a sensitive person, and she has long heard what Chang Le said.

Li Shimin walked in refreshed, and just after he came in, he heard Empress Changsun's coquettish laughter, and asked curiously: "What makes the Empress so happy?"

Empress Changsun couldn't help but said, "Look at your daughter!"

Li Shimin quickly looked at Princess Changle, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong? Why are you so haggard?"

After asking, Li Shimin suddenly realized, no, if something really happened to Changle, how could the queen laugh?

Li Shimin asked suspiciously, "What's going on?"

"It's not because you think you gave too little dowry. I embroidered a dowry for one night last night." Empress Changsun said angrily.

In the entire harem, only Empress Changsun dared to speak so bluntly.

Li Shimin couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, thinking that the dowry is too little?The dowry he prepared for Changle was more than twice that of other princesses!

There are rules for dowry of princesses. Of course, the identities of princesses are also different, so there are additional rewards.

For example, Changle is regarded as the eldest princess, with a high status, so the dowry should be more than that of other princesses, but it should not be more than twice as much.

The reason why there are so many is because Li Shimin really loves this daughter.

To be precise, Li Shimin dotes on all the children born to Empress Changsun very much.

Empress Changsun said with a smile: "Chang Le said that we will have more children in the future, and when the family is separated in the future, each child will not have more, so I embroider the dowry at night. Add money box to Changle."

Li Shimin burst out laughing: "How much more dowry can you embroider if you stay up all night? Changle, you can just tell your father or your mother no to it. Don't stay up all night. What if you burn yourself out?"

Princess Changle couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she heard this: "Actually, the dowry given by the emperor is not too small."

Empress Changsun smiled and said, "Changle's dowry is not too small, but it is Su Xiaozi who is going to marry, not to mention Su Xiaozi's outstanding achievements, but his wealth is scary enough. Thinking about it this way, Changle's The dowry is indeed a little less."

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Changle is my precious daughter, how could I not be willing to give the dowry? Then add more dowry."

Although Li Shimin agreed happily, it was actually quite a headache. It's not that he was reluctant, but that the officials would make trouble.

It's not that it will be noisy, but it will definitely be noisy.

Especially Wei Zheng, that's a tough one!

The dowry originally prepared for Changle has already doubled, and Li Shimin is already worried that the officials will make a fuss, so it is conceivable to add the dowry.

However, what the queen said is also reasonable, Su Cheng's secret recipes are rich in wealth, so compared to Changle's dowry, it is really not that much.

Headaches are headaches, but he still loves his daughter more, but he is not willing to let her stay up late to embroider the dowry, let alone be unhappy about the dowry.

Then we will talk about officials for a while, and Wei Zheng for a while!

I don't believe that Wei Zheng really dares to stand up, if he can't do it, he will be killed, anyway, he has long been disliked by him!

Several carriages appeared at the county mansion. The carriages looked tattered and made heavy noises, as if they were about to fall apart at any moment. The leader was a strong man who looked dusty.

It was the bearded man who went south in the starry night last winter, he traveled day and night, and finally returned to Chang'an in early spring, bringing five heavy carriages with him.

It was full of treasures he had acquired over the years across the sea, and he picked out the most precious ones and transported them all back to Chang'an.

"It's the bearded man Zhang Zhongjian, please see Duke Ankang!" the bearded man said loudly.

Although he was proud of the world, he admired Su Cheng a lot. Of course, it was because of Su Cheng's extensive knowledge that he admired him.

Although the turmoil last year did not cause a sensation in Chang'an, everyone in the county government was aware of it.

Hearing that the well-known curly bearded guest was coming again, the concierge hurried in to report.

"Hero Zhang, please come inside!" Su Cheng greeted him with a smile.

"Starry night, I finally arrived at Chang'an. The carriages were full of jewels and treasures. The county lord would enjoy them if he liked them, and he would pile them up in the warehouse if he didn't like them!" said the bearded man boldly.

Su Cheng shook his head and said, "Actually, there is no need. Zhang Daxia wants to build a ship and go to sea, and he also needs money to prepare it."

In fact, he really doesn't care much about the bearded man's treasures, what he cares more about is whether the bearded man has the ability to go to sea.

"There are still some leftovers that I picked and let me stay on the island. It is too troublesome to transport them to Chang'an, and those are enough. The sea charts are so precious. If the county magistrate doesn't accept them, I will be ashamed. !” The bearded man said boldly.

When it came to this point, Su Cheng had no choice but to accept it.

"I've already prepared the shipbuilding plan for you. I'm preparing the sailing manual recently. I didn't expect Zhang Daxia to enter Chang'an so quickly. I'm afraid it will take a few days. Zhang Daxia will wait in Chang'an now, Mr. Wei." But I miss Zhang Daxia very much!" Su Cheng explained with a smile.

"Okay, then stay in Chang'an for a few more days!"
