Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 170 The Marriage of the Royal Princess

Li Er's return to court was not because he was worried about Li Chengqian, but because the eldest grandson empress was about to give birth!Giving birth to a baby is a laborious task. At that time, there was no such thing as a caesarean section, and it all depended on earning one's life. How else would there be such a thing as "passing the gate of hell"?

Empress Changsun was suffering from a gas disorder, so it was more laborious, but fortunately, the auspicious person had his own aura, and the mother and daughter had a roundabout at the gate of hell.Empress Changsun successfully gave birth to a dragon girl, who was later Princess Chengyang.Speaking of Princess Chengyang, she was also a tragic child in history. The marriage can be said to be full of twists and turns, and her first husband was Du He.Later, Du He was implicated in Li Chengqian's rebellion and decapitated, and Princess Chengyang remarried Xue Guan. .The second marriage was not bad. Princess Chengyang and Xue Guan had two boys, Xue Yi and Xue Shao, and the couple also died well.But the two boys refused to stop, and were killed in response to Langya King Li Chong during Wu Zetian's time.The eldest brother, Xue Yi, went straight down with the knife, and the second child was sadly urged. First, he was beaten with a hundred sticks, and then starved to death in prison, because his daughter-in-law was the famous Princess Taiping!The reason why Princess Taiping is called Princess Taiping is not because she is an airport, but because she is Wu Zetian's own daughter!Maybe because Wu Zetian once drowned her daughter with her own hands, she loved this daughter so much that Princess Changping almost became the second Wu Zetian.

When Princess Changping was with Xue Shao, she lived a decent life and gave birth to four children (two boys and two girls).It's hard to tell when she was the second term. Although she also gave birth to four children, it is difficult to determine who the biological fathers of these children are, because she has started raising noodles.For her mother's love, Princess Changping reciprocated, and dedicated her favorite male favorite, Lianhua Liulang Zhang Zongchang, to her mother, and Zhang Zongchang became prosperous because of this.Alas, as expected of the mother-in-law!
Come back and talk about Xue Shao's two flesh and blood—Xue Chongxun and Xue Chongjian. Xue Chongxun died, and the reason is not recorded in the history books.Xue Chongjian was a little better. When Princess Changping wanted to abolish Tang Xuanzong, she was spanked by her mother. Later, Princess Changping was defeated. Xue Chongjian survived because of this punishment. One survived.

It can be seen from this that in that era, high status and high status were not necessarily a good thing. There were too many right and wrong, and how many of them died of natural causes?Most were fatal.

Princess Chengyang is still a standard breastfeeding baby at this time, it is impossible for her to know the tragic experience of her children and grandchildren, but she was fortunate enough to listen to her parents' discussion on her sister's marriage, but it is a pity that she did not remember—— Baby, in addition to eating is sleeping.

"I'm scared to death, and Guanyin's maidservant is suffering." Li Er visited the Empress Changsun after she gave birth, and caressed Empress Changsun's hair lovingly.

"It's not the first time for a concubine. What are you afraid of?" Empress Changsun is in good spirits. Besides, the life of the royal family is good, with all kinds of precious medicinal materials. take it.

"Guanyin maidservant sleeps first, and I will guard you and my daughter here." Empress Changsun added a girl to herself, and Li Er was very happy, but he felt sorry for Empress Changsun even more.

The room is very warm, the copper stove is burning vigorously, and the faces of the people reflected are flushed.Empress Changsun took Li Er's hand, held it in her hand, looked at the magnificent man in front of her, and smiled, "The concubine is not sleepy, so Your Majesty can talk to the concubine."

"Success, I will follow you." Li Er held Empress Changsun's hand with both hands. He didn't feel the cold outside just now, he was only worried about Empress Changsun.Although he is an emperor, he is also a husband and a father. Worry is always inevitable. For a moment, he was even afraid that his eldest grandson would disappear.

"Yuzhang is getting older too, should Your Majesty think about finding a good husband for her?" One thing the eldest grandson didn't say was that he almost fainted just now, which was very dangerous.People often experience life and death before they can understand clearly, and the eldest grandson is also the same. Now she feels that the health and safety of her children is the most important thing, and there are too many accidents in life.

"Is there a suitable candidate for Guanyin's maidservant?" Although the marriage of the royal children cannot be decided by oneself, the parents are not randomly assigned.Li Er now regrets marrying Princess Sui'an to the Dou family, but that is his own grandma's family!Those who are related by blood, if you add a retarded grandson, where will you put your old face?Li Er would not necessarily listen to the matter of close relatives getting married if Jin Yu directly mentioned it. The key point was that Changsun Wuji brought it up, even if it was for the face of his brother-in-law, Li Er would be a little cautious.Besides, Changsun Wuji instructed Changsun Chong to do so in detail, Li Er couldn't help but not believe it, now he has decided in his heart that he will never let his children marry close relatives.

"The concubine doesn't have any ideas, but His Majesty, the father, has to make up his mind." The eldest grandson smiled and refused to say.Although Princess Yuzhang is her adopted daughter, and she treats Yuzhang very well, she is not her own daughter after all, if her daughter feels inappropriate, won't she feel resentful when she turns around?
Li Er was noncommittal, warming the cold hands of his eldest grandson, "I almost talked to Tang Jian when I was hunting a few days ago." It clicked.)
"You are right in Yemen, why didn't your majesty say anything?" The Tang family and the Li dynasty can be said to be family friends, and Li Er and Tang Jian are also friends who have forgotten the years, so they can be called a good family match.

Li Er shook his head, "Tang Jian is fifty this year, and his second son's main room disappeared last year. Yuzhang is much older. I don't want Yuzhang to be alone in the vacant house in the future." Li Er said very cryptically, and he was very worried about Tang. The quality of married life of the second child in the family, besides, good people are gone, what is the reason?He wasn't worried that the Tang family would dare to harm their own girl, but the word of restraining his wife still had some weight. "When I was in Xiangcheng, I was confused for a while. Now I think about it and regret it." Li Er continued to shake his head. Princess Xiangcheng married Xiao Yu's son Xiao Rui, and Xiao Rui also lost his wife. He is about the same age as Li Er, but Li Er is now drinking tiger penis wine made by Jin Yu, but Xiao Rui doesn't have it!
"Your Majesty, don't say this outside, it's not good to hear it in the ears of Xiangcheng." Empress Changsun shook her head secretly, you didn't think about it in Xiangcheng, but now you start thinking about it, isn't it biased?
"The maidservant Guanyin is worrying too much, so I will just chatter with you about these things." Li Er smiled, he was the most defenseless with Empress Changsun, and he would say anything.This emperor is also tired, and he doesn't even have a person who speaks his heart.

Empress Changsun also laughed, and teased Li Erdao: "This is not His Majesty's style. Why does the concubine feel like a different person? He has changed his temper?"

"Haha, I have changed a lot." Li Er smiled heartily, and admitted straightforwardly.When he first came to the throne, he would have considered using his in-laws to win over former ministers and aristocrats. Now that the political situation has stabilized, and with Jinyu's series of innovative technologies, he no longer has to worry about aristocrats.The human heart is full of meat, and I can't take care of my children well, so I am ashamed to be called "father".He can treat his younger brothers preferentially and treat the people of the world kindly, so why can't he give some of this love to his children?

Li Er laughed happily, but Xiao Chengyang was upset. He was suddenly awakened by the noise of the "monster" in his sweet sleep, and burst into tears immediately.Li's second hand hurriedly hugged Xiao Chengyang carefully, his movements were clumsy.Only then did he realize that even if it was his own child, he had held too few of them!

The palace maid heard that the little princess was crying, so she hurriedly opened the door and came in, but Li Er waved her out. He could do it himself, and he wanted to enjoy the fun of being a father.But Xiao Chengyang didn't give her father any face, and kept crying, which made Li Er very embarrassed.

"It's better to be a concubine." Empress Changsun looked at Li Er's embarrassment, sat up and took Xiao Chengyang over.

Xiao Chengyang felt a little hungry after being woken up, but she couldn't tell?So I kept crying, and stopped crying after finding milk, and was very quiet.

"Is there a lot of milk?" Seeing his daughter's delicious food, Li Er was very greedy. He hadn't tasted it for a long time!
"What's your Majesty thinking? It's broad daylight!" Empress Changsun blushed and gave Li Er a supercilious look.

Li Er chuckled and said back to Huan: "Where is Guanyin maidservant going? I want to order the imperial dining room to make you some milk-promoting meals."

Empress Changsun's pretty face turned even redder. After so many years of husband and wife, she knew very well what she, the emperor's husband, thought.But she is very happy for Li Er's change, the family affection is stronger, and she knows how to joke, which is very good.In fact, she also understands that her husband doesn't want his experience to be repeated among his children, but that part of the past needs to be sorted out by himself, because no one dares to touch his rebellious part. "Then, does His Majesty have a suitable family?"

"Yi Guogong has an only son who is just right in age. He is now learning arithmetic from that prodigal son of Guitang. Gao Ming thinks he is not bad." There are also a few of them, of course, pay attention.

"Duke Yi is a loyal man, and his son must be no bad." Empress Changsun nodded.

"It's just that the door is a little lower." Li Er felt a little regretful.Qin Qiong's real origin is not the son of the blacksmith who is rumored to be the son of a blacksmith in the novel, but Qin Qiong's great-grandfather Qin Xiaoda, grandfather Qin Fangtai, and father Qin Ai were all civil servants in the Wei and Qi dynasties. Officials. (In 1995, during the construction of the bank dormitory building on Jingqixiaoweiliu Road, Jinan City, a stone tomb was discovered. The owner of the tomb was Qin Qiong’s father, Qin Ai. "The Change of Xuanwu Gate".)
"Your Majesty, have you ever heard that 'no man is perfect, and gold is never pure'? Duke Yi has followed His Majesty for many years, if Gui Tang hadn't mixed the medicine, he would still be lying at home now." Empress Changsun was very impressed with Li Er's choice. Satisfied, he mentioned Qin Qiong's goodness obliquely.

"Yes, Qin Qiong is so brave that even his father approves of it." Li Er smiled, feeling a little ashamed of his old comrade-in-arms. Back then, Qin Qiong was in poor health and tried hard to help him complete his enthronement, but he only gave him seven The reward of a hundred households.

"Then it's settled?" Empress Changsun waited for Xiao Chengyang to finish feeding, patted her on the back, put Chengyang beside her, and asked Li Er.

"Not in a hurry, I'll think about it again." Li Er shook his head, he didn't even know whether Qin Huaiyu was a relative, so why did he dare to speak now?If Qin Huaiyu was already engaged, then his "golden words" would be embarrassing.

The couple were whispering here, and Duo Gonggong, who was next to Li Er, came in with a bowed body, "His Majesty, His Royal Highness, Crown Prince, and Princess Changle. Princess Yuzhang and His Royal Highness Ninth Prince, Princess Lanling, and Princess Gaoyang Come and pay your respects to the empress."

Li Er was very considerate this time, first he looked at Empress Changsun, who nodded secretly, and then Li Er said solemnly: "Tell me!"

After a while, three and a half older children came in with three little ones, and it was unavoidable to be polite.The child is obedient, and Li Er, the father, is of course happy, but it seems that a son is missing——Li Tai!They were all born to the same woman, if the three of them knew that they would come and have a look, wouldn't Li Tai come?Li Er suppressed the unhappiness caused by Li Tai's absence, and ordered the six children to warm up by the copper stove first.

"I'm not cold!" The three little guys were sweating on their foreheads, wearing leather gloves on their hands, and scarves around their heads. This was Yang Ying's handwriting and Jin Yu's suggestion.

"Our little sister is afraid of the cold, so wait for the cold to disappear before going over." Li Chengqian held Li Zhi and Lan Ling back, and Gao Yang didn't move forward, just to save trouble.

The clothes of the three little children made Li Er's eyes shine. He pointed to the clothes and asked Li Chengqian: "Is this made by the inner mansion?"

Before Li Chengqian could reply, Lan Ling said, "My sister did it for me!"

Li Er circled Changle and Yuzhang's faces suspiciously. There are too many sisters in Lanling. Which sister?

Seeing that his father didn't understand, Chang Le hurriedly saluted and said, "Report to father, this is made by the teacher and wife of Dr. Jin's family."

Li Er nodded, not blaming the three little babies for recognizing their sister at will.Li Er picked up Lan Ling and Gao Yang, and pressed against their little faces, it was very warm.The gloves are in the shape of two big bags connected by a rope. Li Er's beard brushed against the faces of the two. The little girl felt itchy, so she pulled her hand out, raised her hand to block it, and rubbed against Li Er's face. His old face was also quite gentle, not eroded by the cold wind outside at all.Li Er asked kindly: "Is it warm?"

"Warm! Hug my father!" Li Zhi was not happy, so he hugged Li Er's thigh and let Li Er hug him.

"Haha, good!" Li Er put Lan Ling down, picked up Li Zhi again, and said to Lan Ling, "Go, go and see your sister."

Empress Changsun didn't lie down after she got up, her appearance was not bad, she saw Lanling running over, and warned: "Lanling is good, you can only look at it, you can't touch it."

"En!" Lan Ling nodded obediently, as obediently as possible. "Queen, was Lan Ling like this when she was a child?"

"Yes!" Empress Changsun untied Lanling's scarf, touched Lanling's head, and said to the three older children: "There are stools in the room, please move them over and sit on them yourself." I am willing to let the maids and eunuchs get involved again.

Li Zhi just climbed into Li Er's arms, seeing that Lanling had the opportunity to see his little sister, he struggled to get down, refused to lag behind in anything, and was very active.

The three little babies stand on tiptoe and look at the infant Chengyang, not daring to show their breath, they are very cautious and cute.

"But it took a lot of thought." Empress Changsun said to Li Er with a scarf and gloves in her hand.

"Yeah." Li Er nodded. The reason why he didn't blame it was because of Yang Ying's thoughts on the children. As a father, he didn't think about it. He did it, and it was too late to thank him, so he blamed it?He felt ashamed to say it out, and it was just a child's affectionate name, it would be fine when he grew up.

"Are the clothes warm?" The eldest grandson touched Li Zhi's clothes. It was very slippery, which meant that the fabric was very good.It looks fluffy and feels soft, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

"Warm!" Li Zhi replied crisply, "My son has learned how to button his buttons!"

"My daughter can do it too!" "My daughter can also wear a belt!" The two little girls said eagerly, not to be outdone.

The child chirped, Cheng Yang seemed a little impatient when he heard it, and rubbed his face with his little hands, but Xiao Cheng Yang had just eaten enough, so he didn't make any more fuss, put down his hands and continued to sleep.

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't disturb my sister." Chang Le said with color, squatting down to warn his younger siblings.

The three babies hurriedly covered their little mouths with their hands, expressing that they would not speak anymore. Li Er and Empress Changsun looked at each other with cute smiles, very warm.

Empress Changsun was close to Li Zhi, and Empress Changsun reached out her hand to touch the button, and she roughly understood how the button works. , "Skillful and thoughtful."

"That's right, my daughter heard from the teacher's mother that the clothes are filled with down, which makes them light to wear and keeps warmer than leather clothes." Changle has a good relationship with Yang Ying now, and she doesn't mind more compliments.

"Down?" Although Li Er was well-informed, he didn't know what it was.

Changle nodded affirmatively, "It's the fine fluff on the poultry. Dr. Jin didn't throw away the feathers when he cooked roast ducks, but these ducks only made these three clothes." The most dense double-layered white cloth was used, and there were still feathers coming out of the seams. Changle pulled out one from Lanling's cuff and handed it to Li Er.

After reading it, Li Er gave it to Empress Changsun, and Changsun and Li Er looked at each other with a smile, "This kid is really capable of tossing around. Useless things can be of great use in his hands. He can really turn decay into magic!"

"Let her make a body for our little Chengyang next time." Li Er gave Changle an order with his golden mouth. As soon as his golden mouth comes out, he doesn't know how many ducks will suffer, Ami Tofu.

"Yuzhang is also going to learn more from the Jin Yang family." Li Er asked for something, but the eldest grandson rarely objected, and gave Yuzhang a rather ambiguous look, which made Yuzhang look furious.
