Traveling across the heavens starting from the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 77 Girls with five surnames, fireworks
"what?"

Li Shimin looked at Queen Changsun and Li Lizhi in disbelief.

"This Li Huaian only prepared two portions of vegetables, one for Changle and one for Lizhengdian. Doesn't he know about my Tai Chi Palace?"

Simultaneously.

Li Shimin's inner thought was that Li Huaian was not seeking revenge because I took away some coal and some iron stoves from him.

It looks like it must be.

"Erlang, it's not that bad."

Queen Changsun felt a little funny when she saw Li Shimin's angry look.

But on the surface.

She still had to take her husband's face into consideration and quickly offered words of comfort.

"Perhaps Huai'an has forgotten?"

"Yes, Father, what if Brother Huai'an forgets."

On the side, Li Lizhi was also looking for help for Li Huaian, fearing that her father would hate her future husband again because of some vegetables.

"Do you two believe it?"

Li Shimin took his chopsticks and snatched the vegetables that the young slave Li Zhi wanted to pick from a plate of vegetables.

"Father, I don't believe this."

When the young slave Li Zhi saw that the vegetables that were about to arrive were gone, he replied unhappily.

Empress Changsun, Li Lizhi actually didn’t believe it in her heart.

but.

You can't really be like the childish slave Li Zhi, who talks like a child, let's tell the truth.

That wouldn't make Li Shimin even more angry.

How to do?
I can only coax.

Who says men don’t need to be coaxed.

The emperor also needed coaxing.

"Erlang, no matter what, Huai'an is Changle's husband. The imperial edict has been issued and the marriage will be consummated in two years. How could he not be thinking about you, Taishan?"

Empress Changsun stood up and came to Li Shimin's side. She explained to Li Huaian in a gentle voice and put some vegetables in Li Shimin's bowl.

"Try these vegetables and see how they are grown in Huai'an. If you like them, ask him to send some to the palace in a few days."

"Yes, father, try these dishes."

Li Lizhi also brought some vegetables to Li Shimin.

"If father likes it, Changle will go to Brother Huai'an's house tomorrow and bring some back."

"What are you doing at Shouchang Hou Mansion?"

Li Shimin ate the dishes his wife and daughter put in the bowl, still looking unhappy.

"My Hot Spring Palace also has a vegetable field, and you can grow vegetables in winter. I will send someone to the Hot Spring Palace tomorrow and instruct the guards at the Hot Spring Palace to transport a batch of vegetables into the palace."

"Father."

Seeing that Li Shimin was still upset, Li Lizhi had to use her special skills.

Usually as long as she acts coquettishly, her father will laugh no matter how angry he is.

"OK OK."

really.

Li Shimin loved Li Lizhi the most. When he saw his daughter acting coquettishly, he immediately put down his sullen face and showed a helpless expression.

"You girl, before you married into the Shouchang Hou Mansion, you started to be outgoing. You secretly took away a white jade weapon that my father had just obtained. Do you want to give it to Li Huaian?"

When Li Lizhi saw that her secret use of white jade was discovered, she felt a little embarrassed and held Li Shimin in her arms for a while.

"Brother Huai'an said he liked it, so Changle thought that with so many treasures from his father, this one was not missing, so he wanted to give it to Brother Huai'an as a New Year gift."

"Ah."

Li Shimin really has nothing to do with his beloved daughter.

"Li Huaian fell in love with my father's White Jade Destruction Skill last time. I think he also took away the Great Summer Dragon Bird, although my father has not found a clue yet."

"This Li Huaian uses his father's place as a treasure house and wants to take everything he sees."

Although he said he disliked it.

But the tone is a little more likeable.

Ever since he became the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he had rarely seen anyone around him who was so carefree and unruly. It made him miss the days when he was the King of Qin and was surrounded by a group of fierce generals. Everyone respected him. There are two, but they are as close as brothers.

At that time, I was really happy, not having to be confined to this palace.

Now that he has become the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the subordinates around him have also become the founding fathers and founding princes. Their status has become more noble and there are more rules.

The closeness between the monarch and his ministers is no longer the same as before.

This feeling can still be felt in Li Huaian, who dares to bargain with him and make terms.

This attitude.

Even Guanyin's maid, Changle, did not dare to follow his attitude. If she wanted to discuss things, she would advise him from the side and obtain his consent by asking.

This is also the reason why Li Shimin tolerated Li Huaian's wantonness and did not use force.

In this regard.

Li Huaian didn't know.

If you know.

I can only express one emotion.

Sure enough, human beings are animals that the more they lose something, the more they want to gain something.

Purely sick.

Empress Changsun saw that Li Shimin was disgusted but her anger was almost gone, so she took some vegetables that were not available in the Tang Dynasty from the dishes on the table and put them in Li Shimin's bowl, and said kindly to Li Shimin.

"After all, Huai'an is the son-in-law we found ourselves, the husband-in-law of Changle. If our son-in-law takes it, it's still in our own hands. One son-in-law and half a son."

"Why should Erlang care so much?"

"Think about it, if Erlang asks Huai'an for something, it won't be easy for the son-in-law to refuse."

Li Shimin looked at the vegetables in the bowl, and then at the smiling Empress Changsun, and he understood what Guanyin was thinking.

So I could only nod in agreement.

"Forget it, who asked me to recognize this son-in-law? Even if he is a thief, I will recognize him."

"Father, how can anyone say that about Brother Huai'an? He is also the husband-in-law of Changle after all. The consort of Princess Changle of Tang Dynasty under the express decree of father, how can he be a thief? It doesn't sound good."

Li Lizhi defended Li Huaian and disagreed with Li Shimin's thieving rhetoric.

Li Shimin looked at Li Lizhi lovingly and asked.

"If you want your father not to say anything, then give him food. My father has been reviewing the memorial for a long time. I originally wanted to have some meals at Taiji Palace. I heard Zhang Anan said that you are a girl in the Zheng Palace, so I thought Come over here and take a look at Father’s Changle.”

"I wonder if I will be able to see my Changle in the palace from time to time after I get married."

"Father, Changle will pick up some food for father."

Li Lizhi comforted Li Shimin while picking up food for Li Shimin.

"Even if Changle gets married, he will not live in Chang'an City, but just move out of the imperial palace. Whether it is Taipingfang or Xinghuafang, they are very close to the imperial city."

"When my father climbs up in the palace, he can also see whether these two houses are different. Whether Changle misses my father and my mother, or my father and my mother miss Changle, Changle can come back at any time."

"Alas, my Changle has finally grown up and is getting married."

Li Shimin looked at the food in the bowl.

"I don't know if I will be able to pick up food for my father like I did today."

New Year's Eve.Shouchanghou Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.

Even though it’s Chinese New Year.

However, the atmosphere of the entire Shouchang Hou Mansion was several times more festive and lively than the New Year atmosphere of the surrounding neighbors.

All because, today is not only New Year's Eve, but also the day when Cui Yu will send his legitimate daughter with the fifth surname and Qi Wang.

Although there is no wedding ceremony.

But there still needs to be some celebration.

Especially when these seven legitimate daughters from the five surnames and Qiwang entered the Shouchang Hou Mansion, each of them was wearing a wedding dress and holding a dough-covering fan in their hand that symbolized the harmony between husband and wife.

When welcoming them, Li Huaian showed enough respect and wore the groom's wedding attire suitable for a Marquis of Datang County to welcome the seven women with five surnames.

Cui Yu stood at the door of the Shouchang Hou Mansion before leaving. He hesitated for a moment, but still saluted Li Huaian with a firm face.

"Brother Li, the daughter-in-law of my Qi family has been sent to you today. Although I am just a wedding official, I shouldn't say what I say next, but in Chang'an City, I am the only one who comes to Shouchang Hou Mansion. I’m a relative, so I still want to say it.”

"Brother Cui, just say so."

"Well, although the seven legitimate daughters of my seven families did not ask for a ceremonial status, after discussing with the current saint, they also gave up the status of the wife of Shouchang Houfu to Princess Changle two years later."

Cui Yu paused for a moment before continuing.

"As the only representative of the seven families who came to the Shouchang Hou Mansion, after all, I am still the brother of these seven legitimate daughters. I still want to ask you. If my seven sisters are in the house in the future, if there is anything wrong. , please ask Brother Li to be more considerate."

Done.

Cui Yu raised her hand and bowed to Li Huaian.

Li Huaian stepped forward to hold Cui Yu's arms and smiled.

"Brother Cui is worried too much. Compared with the seven of you, I don't have many rules in Shouchanghou Mansion. You also know that I am not a person who sticks to rules. The seven of them married into me. If you come to the Shouchang Hou Mansion, you won't suffer any grievances."

then.

He assured Cui Yu again.

"Brother Cui, please rest assured. You also know that I am not a violent person. How can I be harsh to my own women?"

The legitimate daughter brought up by Qi Wang, the fifth surname, who devoted all his efforts to educate her.

After all, he should know better than him in advance and retreat, and know the rules. I am afraid that in the future, these seven legitimate daughters with the fifth surname will be tolerant to him and break some rules.

There is no way, if he goes crazy.

There is really a bit of history used to blackmail King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty and the style of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.

"That's true. Brother Li didn't even go to the Saint's New Year's Eve banquet. He is really an unruly person. The Saint really did it because of you."

Cui Yu heard this and agreed with Li Huaian's statement.

At the same time, I also envy Li Huaian for not having to attend the New Year's Eve banquet in the palace tonight, and not having to stay in the palace to accompany the saint.

"Isn't this inseparable? You can't just send the seven legitimate daughters here, and I will abandon them and go to the palace to accompany the saint."

Li Huaian waved his hands indifferently.

"You can't do it. If you want to enter the palace, you can do so at any time. There's nothing to eat at the banquet."

Li Shimin’s New Year’s Eve banquet.

For the civil and military officials and nobles of the Tang Dynasty, it may be a gift.

But he had no interest.

It would be better for him to stay in the mansion and hug the seven beauties sent by Qi Wang, the new surname of the fifth surname, which made him more interested.

If I remember correctly.

in the morning.

Li Ruoqiu also told him that there would be a gift for him on New Year's Eve.

Besides.

Tonight, at Li Shimin's New Year's Eve banquet in his sixth year of Zhenguan, he provided all the vegetables.

Even the dishes for the New Year's Eve banquet were not ceremonial dishes. Li Lizhi specially hired several cooks from his house to go to the palace to make them.

So he was even less interested in attending the New Year's Eve banquet at the palace.

"Brother Li, it's almost time. If I don't enter the palace, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with the start of the banquet."

"I'm taking my leave now."

Cui Yu raised her hands to Li Huaian and said goodbye.

Li Huaian sent him outside the house and watched Cui Yu get on the carriage and leave, then returned to the house.

"Mr. Lang is really not going to the palace to attend the saint's New Year's Eve banquet?"

Just returned to the inner house.

Li Ruoqiu came to Li Huaian dressed in New Year's attire and asked worriedly.

As a member of the nobles of the Tang Dynasty, would it not be good or unsociable not to attend the Saint's New Year's Eve banquet? Even if the Saint agreed, she always felt that Shouchang Houfu did not understand etiquette.

"I didn't tell Changle, and the saint didn't pay much attention."

Li Huaian looked at Li Ruoqiu in confusion.

"Besides, why should I attend the New Year's Eve banquet? Why don't I stay at the house to spend New Year's Eve with you?"

"Good or bad, everyone in the slave family and the mansion naturally hopes that Mr. Lang will stay in the mansion to celebrate New Year's Eve and watch the New Year's Eve."

Li Ruoqiu expressed her feelings.

But he also expressed his thoughts.

"But Lang Jungui is a Marquis of the Tang Dynasty and a member of the nobles. If he doesn't attend the saint's banquet and connects with other nobles of the Tang Dynasty, will he be excluded by other nobles?"

heard.

Li Huaian smiled "Haha." and pulled Li Ruoqiu into his arms. He hooked his fingers on the chin of the beauty in his arms, lifted it up slightly, and looked at the pair of peach blossom eyes.

"Remember, although I am the Shouchang Marquis of the Tang Dynasty, I am not the same person as the other nobles of the Tang Dynasty, so there is no need to worry about my relationship with these nobles of the Tang Dynasty, and there is no need to care."

"do you understand."

"I understand."

Li Ruoqiu responded softly, seemingly understanding.

Li Huaian then ordered: "Now that you understand, then go and inform everyone in the house, prepare food, and let's all watch the New Year's Eve together. I will accompany you to spend New Year's Eve together tonight."

"By the way, take out the fireworks I prepared. Let's watch the fireworks tonight."

As for the relationship with the nobles of the Tang Dynasty.

That was what a solo traveler through the Tang Dynasty should do, and it had nothing to do with him.

If I had that time to waste in the world of the Tang Dynasty, socializing in vain among the nobles of the Tang Dynasty, it would be better to stay in my own Shouchang Marquis Mansion.

"Well, I'm going to the servant's house."

Li Ruoqiu stood up from Li Huaian's arms and was about to go down to tell the maids in the mansion to do something. Then she remembered the seven noble women with five surnames who had just entered the mansion.

"Mr. Lang, the seven ladies who have just entered the house need to be invited by the man in person. At least they have to drink and drink. Otherwise, the seven ladies will not be able to leave their rooms."

"And this rule?"

Li Huaian didn't understand, but since Li Ruoqiu said it, just go ahead.

When the seven women with the fifth surname entered the house, he could not see their faces clearly because they were blocked by the fans. He could only see that they had good figures and delicate faces.

It just so happens that I can take this opportunity to take a good look at them one after another. Don't let Qiwang with the fifth surname fool him. He doesn't want a woman like Zhong Wuyan. He can play with Zhong Wuyan when he has something to do, or Xia Yingchun when he doesn't have anything to do.

The reason why he agreed to the request of the head of the family with the fifth surname Qiwang to marry his legitimate daughter was.

It's purely because of the true nature of a man.

Wouldn't it be beautiful to suddenly get seven legitimate daughters with the fifth surname and Qiwang who even Li Shimin couldn't ask for?
