Great Tang princess

Chapter 127 Li Hong's Request

While talking, Li Yuechen walked towards the woman who was standing quietly not far away.

Just now I saw that the eldest brother seemed to be looking at her all the time. If you look closely, this woman looks about seventeen or eighteen years old.

With a face that looks very quiet at first glance, although he is also staring at the crowd running back and forth on the polo, there does not seem to be any fanaticism in his eyes.

There was an indifferent smile on her face, just like Mu Chunfeng's big sister next door.

Seeing Li Yuechen approaching, the other party also quickly saluted: "I have seen Her Royal Highness!"

"Exemption." Li Yuechen raised his hand and asked seemingly casually, "Which family does the young lady belong to?"

"Anu Pei Qingwan, my father Pei Judao."

Li Yuechen thought about it, Pei Judao...it seems like some kind of general?

"Oh."

"I wonder what orders His Highness has?" Pei Qingwan was slightly puzzled.

"No." Li Yuechen grinned, "Just seeing you standing here alone, it seems that you are not interested in polo, so I am a little curious, come here and ask."

Pei Qingwan nodded lightly: "I don't know how to ride a horse, so..."

Li Yuechen nodded: "Speaking of which, the saint held this event to let us choose the person we like. I wonder if you have someone you like?"

Hearing her question so straightforward, Pei Qingwan was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously glanced at Li Hong.

Girls are quite sensitive to other people's gaze, and just now she found that Li Hong has been looking at her.

So she turned her head and took a sneak peek from time to time.

In all fairness, although Li Hong's looks were not as good as Li Xian and Li Lun's, they were not bad either.

The members of the royal family's old Li family are relatively fair, and they haven't grown a beard yet, so they still look like mature young meat.

People in this era have a relatively simple concept of love. Under the pressure of the matchmaker's words, in many cases, a look can make the deer bump in their hearts.

She seemed a little flustered, her eyes flickered, and she took two steps back slightly dodging: "Your Highness, don't make fun of..."

"Speaking of which, what do you think of my eldest brother?" Li Yuechen interrupted her directly.

She is even thin-skinned in this era, but judging from the reaction, since both parties agree with this, it is better to give them more strength.

"His Royal Highness's reputation for benevolence and filial piety is well known throughout the world, so naturally..."

Li Yuechen waved his hand: "I'm not talking about these, do you like it?"

"I……"

Pei Qingwan was overwhelmed by Li Yuechen's blunt questioning, and didn't know how to respond.

"Alas..." Li Yuechen sighed suddenly, with a look of pity on his face, "Speaking of which, my elder brother is not young anymore, and my parents are also worried about marriage, so today's matter happened. I asked my elder brother just now, he I said I like you very much, but it is really inconvenient to come here and tell you clearly at this time, after all, the crown prince's identity is sensitive..."

"His Royal Highness... like me?" Pei Qingwan couldn't help but raised her head and asked.

Li Yuechen nodded: "Yes, I just don't know what you want? Although as the prince, if you want, you can go to ask your parents to marry you. But the elder brother said that if you don't want to, he won't force it... "

Speaking of this, Li Yuechen had a helpless look on his face: "I was entrusted by my elder brother to ask you. Since you don't like him, then forget it. I just feel sorry for my elder brother, the prince, maybe I will marry someone in the future. The one you like..."

"No, I..." Pei Qingwan couldn't help but said, "I'm not..."

"Oh?" Li Yuechen turned his head, looking expectant, "Then I'll take it as your favorite big brother, okay?"

Pei Qingwan blushed, lowered her head and said in a low voice: "It's all up to His Highness to arrange..."

Li Yuechen grinned and snapped his fingers lightly, it's done!

Then he turned his head and saw that Li Hong was always looking at him, Li Yuechen raised his hand and gave him a thumbs up.

Li Hong immediately turned his head away, not looking this way.But the unbearable smile on his face had already betrayed his joy at this moment.

Now that this step has been reached, there is nothing to say next, as long as you go to find your parents and talk to them, the matter will basically be settled.

Li Yuechen now only hopes to make his eldest brother as happy as possible and maintain a good mood. If this is the case, he may live longer.

In case a miracle happened one day and he could heal himself, Li Yuechen would definitely go to the Taoist temple to recite the scriptures several times.

……

The activity lasted until dusk and ended completely. During this period, his father Li Zhi rewarded another wave of crispy mountains, which made it difficult for officials and juniors to guess how many ice cubes the palace has stored this year.

After the event, the family returned to Renshou Hall for dinner.

As soon as he sat down, his mother Wu Zetian couldn't wait to ask: "Did you meet someone you like today?"

Although they were asking everyone, they were actually looking at Li Hong.

Li Xian and the others shook their heads to express that they didn't like it, and the two sisters did the same.

Only Li Hong looked a little embarrassed: "This... I don't know who she is, cough cough..."

"I know, it's called Pei Qingwan, and she said her father's name is Pei Judao." Li Yuechen said with a smile, "I went to ask, she likes big brother too!"

"Brother is the prince, which girl doesn't like it?" Li Xian asked back with a smile.

Li Yuechen shook his head: "Second brother, you don't understand women after all, she really likes big brother."

"Pei Judao?" Li Zhi thought about turning the health ball in his hand, "General Zuo Jinwu?"

"I don't know about this child, but if there is no one with the same name, it should be." Li Yuechen replied.

Wu Zetian next to her nodded, "I know this woman. She has a pretty face and a quiet temperament. She is also proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so she is also qualified to be a princess."

Li Zhi nodded when he heard the words: "Hong'er, what do you think?"

"Baby depends on parents!" Li Hong replied respectfully, but judging from the expression on his face, he was obviously very satisfied.

Wu Zetian, who knew his son well, nodded: "Since that's the case, your Majesty might as well choose a time to chat with Pei Judao and give him a marriage."

"Ah."

Li Zhi was obviously in a good mood, nodded with a smile, and stroked the beard on his chin: "Tomorrow, I will chat with him."

Afterwards, Li Xian and the others began to gossip: "No wonder I saw Yuechen talking to a woman outside the polo field today."

"I didn't pay much attention, second brother, what does that woman look like?" Li Xian asked.

"Very good." Li Xian nodded, "Although not as good-looking as A Niang, it can be called stunning."

Wu Zetian smiled and said, "Recently Erlang is good at flattery, but did he learn it from Chen'er?"

"Aniang, there's no need to involve the baby, right?" Li Yuechen looked helpless.

"Hahaha……"

Li Zhi suddenly laughed, and he didn't know what he was laughing at, but he was smiling happily anyway.

When the others saw it, they all laughed too, feeling the joyous atmosphere of the family.

……

In the next few days, many ministers began to move around frequently.

If it was in normal times, this situation would definitely arouse the emperor's vigilance, but in the next few days, there were frequent happy events in the homes of many ministers.

After all, although this blind date event is said to be held for the prince to choose a concubine, it doesn't prohibit other people from getting to know each other, right?

Many people have found the person they like in this event, and this era is relatively enlightened.

Now that the child has raised it, the parents are willing to give full consideration to the child's opinion.

In this way, many ministers also became in-laws, and the marriage was preliminarily booked.

After chatting with Pei Judao, Li Zhi also pointed out that Pei Qingwan would be married as the crown princess, and he would choose an auspicious day for the wedding.

Li Hong didn't say anything on the surface, but he had a smile on his face these days, and even the symptoms of coughing were relieved a lot, anyone could tell that he was in a good mood.

In order to make him less stressed, Li Zhi didn't arrange work for him recently, and asked Li Yuechen to visit him more often when he was free.

Two days later, it was time for Li Yuechen to attend class again.

Li Hong thought that he would be too busy in the East Palace these days, so he proposed to follow him to have a look.

Naturally, Li Yuechen had no objection, so he asked Li Hong to change into light clothes, and went to the Royal Farm with her in a carriage.

If you travel with the prince, you don't need the guards to protect you, but the six leaders of the East Palace.

When the fully armed soldiers came to the farm, everyone in the village was startled, not knowing what had happened.

Seeing that Li Yuechen was the same as usual, they all heaved a sigh of relief.

Li Yuechen looked at a group of confused villagers and smiled: "Don't be nervous, my elder brother will come with me to have a look today, you just do your own thing."

Lu Zhaolin on the opposite side was the first to react, looked at Li Hong behind her, and asked, "Brother Your Highness, isn't that right?"

"Well, prince!" Li Yuechen nodded.

Everyone was shocked, seeing that it was the crown prince, they quickly saluted and shouted in unison: "I have seen His Royal Highness the crown prince!"

"Excuse me, everyone!" Li Hong raised his hand, "Cough... Gu came here today, just to take a look around, don't worry, just wait as usual."

Although he said so, after all, his identity is there, everyone still looks at me and I look at you, and they don't know what to do.

It was Li Yuechen who came out and clapped his hands to a group of children: "Okay, don't stay here, they are all going to class!"

After she said this, the villagers dispersed one after another to do their own things.

Since Li Yuechen took classes here, he built a simple pavilion in the garden, so that Fulai and others could rest here when he was in class.

Li Hong sat in the pavilion and watched Li Yuechen teach a group of children.

Looking at the yellow mud wall densely written with words and numbers, Li Hong couldn't help but nodded slightly.

Although these children's handwriting is still poor and crooked, you can feel their seriousness from every stroke.

When he was in Chang'an, he often exchanged letters with Li Yuechen, so he knew everything she was doing.

Thinking of what his sister said in his heart, recently he was cultivating the seeds of Datang's future, and he thought it was something about food experiments.

Now that I came here to see it myself, I realized that the so-called seeds refer to these.

As he thought about it in his mind, he couldn't help showing a gratified smile.

Although Li Hong is sensible and obedient, and a little rigid in many places, he is not stupid, and he also knows his parents very well.

After coming back that day, my parents went out to chat with Liu Shenwei and then came back, their expressions were obviously not right.

At that time, Li Hong already had a guess about his physical condition, and his illness might be very troublesome.

When he returned to the East Palace that night, he also thought that his illness might not be curable.

But it's hard to say exactly how troublesome it is.

Lying on the bed at that time, he was tempted and afraid, but more importantly, he was reluctant to give up his life.

He still wants to live a few more years, and wants to see his sister get married, his younger brother get married, and the youngest sister be happy.

Especially this younger sister, who didn't speak for three years since she was born, and did a lot of things that ordinary people can't understand before she grows up, she is absolutely extraordinary!

The most important thing is to be kind-hearted and responsible.

If it wasn't for being a daughter, she would definitely be a more suitable candidate for the crown prince than herself.

Seeing his younger sister standing there teaching a group of children to read, Li Hong couldn't help talking to himself.

In fact, I am not interested in the emperor, and I am the prince only because it is the responsibility of the eldest son.

I only hope that while my parents are happy, the Tang Dynasty will also be able to enjoy good weather and let the people have enough food and clothing!
Chen'er, with you now, I am no longer worried about the future of Tang Dynasty.

……

After an afternoon of classes, Li Yuechen and his eldest brother returned to the palace in a carriage.

There were only two brothers and sisters in the carriage, and even the personal eunuch Lu Sheng was driven out.

Li Hong sat kneeling upright in the carriage, and couldn't help smiling: "If Yuechen is a man, I will definitely play the role and let you be the prince!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Yuechen who was next to him was shocked!
What does this mean?Think I'm a threat to his status so warn me?
But when he looked up, he saw that there was no other meaning in his eyes, and there was always a doting smile on his face, without any tension at all.

Seeing his expression, Li Yuechen would rather believe that he said this from the perspective of his brother.

But he still shook his head and smiled: "Brother, don't talk nonsense, if these ministers hear this, it will cause big trouble!"

"Too!"

Li Hong smiled and nodded: "It doesn't matter, Yuechen will definitely help me in the future. I believe that with you, Datang will definitely be better in the future!"

"Brother, don't think too highly of me," Li Yuechen smiled and leaned on the carriage, "One position has to pay a responsibility. If it wasn't for fear that my parents would be unhappy, I wouldn't even want to be the servant of the household department!"

The smile on Li Hong's face remained unchanged: "You are good everywhere, but you are so lazy!"

Li Yuechen pouted, not wanting to explain anything.

But let's not say, this pair of lips is really cute.

He even couldn't help asking Li Hong to stretch out his hand and touch her head: "It seems that the Tang Dynasty is stable now, but in fact, there are still many problems. In the future, many things may have to be solved by you, Yuechen Woolen cloth?"

"Forget it..." Li Yuechen turned his head, with an aggrieved expression, "Let's leave this troublesome matter to the elder brother to solve it slowly in the future!"

"Okay!" Li Hong smiled dotingly, "But I still have to rely on Yuechen to help me a lot."

Li Yuechen nodded helplessly: "If you help the elder brother, the younger sister is naturally duty bound."

Li Hong nodded, and at the same time added in his heart: If I were still there at that time...

　I don’t know how you feel after reading this chapter, but the author himself feels that Li Hong has such a character when he looks at this history.

　　He is sensible, obedient, and filial... and many historical materials show that Li Zhi and his wife like this child very much.

　　And it was also Li Hong who offered to release the two sisters, exempt the deserters from being punished, and open a warehouse to release food to help the victims tide over the difficulties...

　　So the author is willing to believe that Li Hong in history is such a good person!
