Great Tang princess

Chapter 808 Li Chongrun's Engagement

Although it is said that Li Chongrun and Lu Yao came to this point in free love, they are the sons of the emperor after all, and they are still the eldest sons. To get married, the necessary procedures are absolutely indispensable.

According to the ancient rituals, the six rituals are absolutely indispensable, and they must be married to a well-known and well-known matchmaker.

That night, Li Xian asked Qin Tianjian to help with calculations to see if the horoscopes of the two people's birthdays were appropriate.

After doing calculations, Qin Tianjian gave the answer in eight words: Since God blesses you, there will be no disadvantages!
After getting such an answer, Li Xian nodded, but didn't say anything.

But the next morning, Wei Lian'er was directly asked to leave the palace with him, and went straight to the Lu residence.

This matter was not notified in advance at all, it was a sudden thought.

As a result, when Luanjia arrived at the door of Lu's house, Bu Qu, who was cleaning at the door, was still in a daze.

After all, most people have never seen the emperor's Luanjia, but they only saw that the carriage was carved with dragons and phoenixes, which was extremely gorgeous.

There is also a large group of soldiers in camouflage, and these soldiers are holding long knives that are almost as tall as people.

On weekdays, internal guards are divided into fixed posts and patrol posts.

Fixed posts are generally dressed in black military uniforms and stand still in one place.

The patrol posts wear camouflage uniforms because they have to patrol the route. At the same time, if the emperor wants to go out, he must also be responsible for vigilance.

The other is weapons. The fixed posts are generally at the gates of the palace, so their weapons are shotguns.

As for the patrol post, which patrols frequently, the gun has the risk of going off after all, so it is holding a seedling knife.

Although I haven't seen the Lu family's series, I can roughly guess that some important person must be here.

Just about to go forward and ask who it is, so that I can report it myself.

I saw a few women jumping off the carriage.

Although they were all young women, their steps were steady and their eyes were sharp. Just looking this way, these men who had been soldiers in the government and fought in the battlefield when they were young suddenly became a little nervous.

They could tell that these women were definitely not ordinary people, they must have received strict training.

These women are naturally the court ladies in charge of protecting the emperor, each with a shotgun in his hand and an ax hanging from his back.

After getting off, they automatically lined up in two rows and stood at the door of the carriage.

A woman came over and said to several trilogy: "Go and inform your family, Alang, that the saint is coming!"

Hearing that the emperor was coming, all the members were taken aback, unable to react for a while.

But seeing this carriage carved with dragons and painted phoenixes, he also knew that it must not be faked, so he immediately agreed: "The villain will report it now!"

With that said, he ran all the way into the mansion.

In the main hall, the Lu family members were sitting together, chatting about Lu Yao's future marriage.

Seeing a Buqun running in with a flustered expression, Lu Jingchu frowned.

The housekeeper next to him saw it, and immediately shouted: "You bastard! You're in such a panic, what's the point?"

The scolded trilogy hurriedly said loudly: "Ah Lang, the sage has arrived, and Luanjia is already outside the door!"

"what?"

Everyone in the Lu family was taken aback, why did the emperor suddenly come here?
But now is not the time to worry about this, Lu Yuanfang was the first to stand up: "Follow me to greet you!"

The family hurriedly agreed, and quickly got up and walked to the gate.

When he trotted to the door, he happened to see the emperor and empress getting off the Luanjia.

Lu Yuanfang hastily brought his family forward to salute: "I don't know the holy chariot is coming, but I am far away from welcoming you, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me..."

"Ah, no courtesy, no courtesy!"

Li Xian smiled and raised his hand to help Lu Yuanfang's arm to make him stand up: "I came here uninvited today, I hope Lu Gong will not care about it."

"How dare you! Your Majesty, please follow the old minister into the mansion to have a talk."

Although he has retired, Lu Yuanfang is a courtier after all, so it doesn't matter if he calls himself a veteran.

After entering the main hall, Lu Yuanfang asked the emperor and empress to sit down on the main seat, and arranged for the servants to serve tea quickly.

After Li Xian sat down, he took the healthcare ball from Sun Jingbang, twirled it lightly, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, Mr. Lu. I'm here today, not for anything else, but to propose marriage for my dog."

In fact, the emperor's presence today, to a certain extent, already indicated that he intends to let Li Chongrun succeed the crown prince in the future.

Even if he doesn't think so himself, and things have been done like this, others will think so.

But there is actually another explanation for this matter.

After all, this time the two children are in free love, not a marriage bestowed by the emperor, maybe coming here today is really just proposing marriage as a father.

If other children get married like this in the future, it is equivalent to confirming another explanation.

It's just that at this time, in Lu Yuanfang's view, it was a right bet to let his granddaughter get along with Li Chongrun this time.

Since ancient times, even if the emperor's son gets married, he will be granted the marriage directly. There is no such kind of emperor who comes to propose marriage in person.

By doing this today, it is actually tantamount to standing up for my son.

Of course, Li Xian was also aware of this, but considering that the child was in free love this time, he still did it.

After all, what does other people's misunderstanding have to do with the emperor?Even if Li Chongrun is not the prince in the future, what can they do?

The first emperor said to his younger sister that as an emperor, he still had to learn to be self-willed sometimes.

After Li Yuechen learned this sentence from his father Li Zhi, he taught it to other brothers and sisters, and Li Xian naturally knew it well.

Moreover, as an emperor, the most important thing is not to let others know what he thinks.

So Li Xian did what he did today on purpose, and what other people think has nothing to do with him at all.

……

Although the emperor is said to be here in person, in this era, the relationship between the monarch and his ministers is not as clear as that in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, so the two sides chatted happily.

Especially when it comes to the children of both sides, they are very caring.

In the end, the engagement of the two children was finalized. When he came today, Li Xian also brought a wild goose, and the engagement ceremony was officially started.

He didn't stay for dinner at noon, and left after discussing things.

After getting into the carriage, Wei Lian'er said to the maid in charge of driving, "Go back to the palace."

"No, go directly to the Princess Mansion!" Li Xian ordered.

"Princess's Mansion?" Wei Lian'er was a little puzzled, why did she run to the Princess's Mansion so gracefully.

Looking at his wife's expression, Li Xian smiled: "Lian'er doesn't know yet, right? The cooking skills of the cooks in the princess mansion are no worse than those in the palace, and even a lot better. Since I'm out of the palace today, why don't I have to cook?" Just try it in the past."

As he said that, he opened the car window and said to the maid outside: "Go to the princess mansion first and let me know that I'm going to have dinner!"

The maid outside agreed, and immediately left quickly on horseback, heading straight for the Princess Mansion.

……

In the Princess Mansion, Li Yuechen, who had finished practicing, had just washed up and was drying his hair when he received a notification from Xiaodong.

"Your Highness, just now someone from the palace announced that the saint is coming for lunch..."

"what?"

Li Yuechen didn't realize it at first, and he didn't know what the good old brother meant by coming here to eat.

But he didn't refuse, and directly ordered the kitchen to order two more dishes today.

On weekdays, there are basically four dishes and one soup, but today I will make six dishes.

Hearing that only six dishes were served, Xiaodong couldn't help reminding: "Your Highness, you are a saint after all, isn't it..."

"Even if you are a saint, you can't waste food. Just enough to eat. Why do you make so much?" Li Yuechen waved her hand and interrupted her.

Speaking of it, when my mother was the emperor, she only had four dishes when she ate alone, which was actually quite a waste.

Usually, a group of people eat in the Princess Mansion, and there are four dishes and one soup.

Today the emperor came over and added two dishes to him. He is already a caring brother who is a younger sister.

……

Near noon, Li Xian's car arrived at the Princess Mansion.

As soon as he entered the main hall, before he had time to say hello, he was attracted by the decorations on Li Yuechen's desk.

Four small iron balls were hung on a horizontal bar, and the iron balls on both sides kept rising and falling, making a "popping" knocking sound.

"What is this?" Li Xian looked over curiously.

"Well, it's a matter of putting the ball in physics, but it doesn't matter if you ask Li Yuechen to do it." Li Yuechen replied, "Brother can't understand it."

Hearing his sister mocking him, Li Xian couldn't help but tilt his head: "Anyway, it's your weird inventions again, right? But it seems useless."

"It's very useful! It's just that brother doesn't know."

Li Yuechen was too lazy to dwell on this topic, and asked instead: "Brother, why did you remember that I had dinner here today?"

"I went to propose marriage to Run'er today. I thought that since I'm out of the palace, I might as well come over and taste the cooking skills of your princess mansion."

Li Xian looked left and right while answering, as if he wanted to see if there were any other interesting things.

Wei Lian'er sat down and chatted casually with Li Yuechen, talking about how her son will get married when the time comes.

After searching for a long time without seeing anything interesting, Li Xian sat down helplessly, and picked up his health ball: "Speaking of which, Yuechen hasn't studied other toys recently?"

"What? Tired of playing billiards?" Li Yuechen asked.

"Well, it's not very interesting, only two people can play." Li Xian shook his head slightly.

Li Yuechen picked up the teacup: "Brother, do you want something that many people can play with?"

"Well," Li Xian nodded, "It's best to be able to play with those noble ministers. In this way, you can chat and talk while playing, and don't be too violent. After all, my brother is old..."

"Then why don't you tell me what you like first?"

Although Li Yuechen felt that the emperor should not think about playing all day long, it would be great if there was something for the emperor and his courtiers to play with.

After all, sometimes the two parties should have some simple gatherings like friends.

In the past, there was only one kind of similar activity, and that was hunting, which was regarded as a collective activity favored by the royal family and ministers.

But with the development of technology, this kind of thing will be canceled sooner or later.

The main reason is that the danger is too great. After all, hunting is directly facing wild beasts.

Since ancient times, the number of people who died in the mouth of wild animals due to hunting is actually not small.

But now if you want to find a substitute, it is not so easy.

After all, it needs to be recognized and liked by most people.

Football is actually good, but it is a strenuous sport after all. Many people like to watch it, but playing it in person is another matter.

Li Xian thought for a while: "To speak for my brother, polo is good! Many people can play together."

"But brother can't participate in such activities, right?" Li Yuechen asked with a smile.

To this, Wei Lian'er deeply agreed: "Polo is too dangerous, His Majesty must not play it personally..."

Li Yuechen smiled: "However, since brother likes it, I have a way to let brother play in person."

"Oh? Tell me!" Li Xian suddenly became interested.

"You don't need to ride a horse, just stand on the ground and hit the ball." Li Yuechen said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I'm looking for a piece of land outside the city during this period of time to make a fun utensil, and then let brother try it himself! "

Hearing that his sister was starting to play tricks, Li Xian nodded expectantly, without further questioning, and then started to eat.

And what Li Yuechen was talking about was naturally golf balls.

First of all, it is not considered strenuous exercise, and it can be played by both young and old.

Secondly, multiple people can participate. In theory, more than 100 people can play at the same time.And it's not complicated, you can play while chatting.

Of course, the most important thing is that, as a rich man's game, it can drive economic development to some extent.

After more than 1000 years, let alone those who are too obsessed, just say that a normal golf player will spend more than 10 yuan a year on it.

This is not counting other expenses such as dinner with friends after the game and tips for the caddy.

This thing itself is something that exceeds the value of the sport itself, and is more like a social place for the powerful.

In Chang'an more than 1000 years later, the membership fee of a club is 40 a year.

That being the case, Li Yuechen felt that it would be better to open a golf course by himself.

It can not only allow the emperor and his courtiers to play and chat together, but also stimulate economic development. Why not do it?

And when the time comes for the emperor to come out and advertise in person, he is not afraid that this thing will not become popular.

Of course, this sport can be welcomed by the rich, and it has certain connotations in itself.

The most important thing is that this is a sport that can still be played even at the age of 80 or [-], and it is also its core.

After a while, Yiyang and Princess Xuancheng also came over, followed by Pei Qingwan and Shangguan Wan'er, and everyone sat up and ate together.

While eating and chatting about Li Chongrun's engagement, everyone gave their thoughts and blessings.

However, the conversation is not concentrated during the meal, and the topic is always easy to go wrong.

While chatting, Li Xian changed the subject: "Speaking of which, Yuechen has even researched the artifacts of the sky at this time, when will he research the objects that can dive into the sea?"

After seeing the sea, Li Xian was naturally full of curiosity about the things under the sea.

However, Li Yuechen shook his head again and again: "Brother, I don't know something. It is much more difficult to enter the sea than to go to the sky. I have no way to research this thing."

"Entering the sea is more difficult than going to the sky? Why?" Li Xian was puzzled by this.
