The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1000 Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet
"Oh? Now everyone in Chang'an doesn't know that your Dongshan Hou Mansion's business is booming. Why, the boat capsized in the gutter?" His Majesty Li Er asked with a smile.

"It's ashamed to say." Xuan Shijing smiled and remained silent.

"Forget it, I won't ask more questions about you at this banquet. As for the matter about your caravan, someone dared to intercept the congratulatory gift to me. Then let the Shenhou Mansion investigate carefully, understand?" His Majesty Li Er looked at Xuan Shijing meaningfully.

This is to let the people of the Shenhou Mansion go to Minzhou in a legitimate way, to add trouble to Li Zhi.

How could Baiqisi not know about the matter of Minzhou?At the beginning, His Majesty Li Er sent the condemned prisoner back home and Xu Qing made an appointment to return to Chang'an on the fourth day of September to lead him to death. Both of them went to Nanzhao, so they were arrested by Baiqisi.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En." Xuan Shijing cupped his hands.

"Very well, when the business of the caravan is settled, you will personally deliver my congratulatory gift." His Majesty Li Er said.

"Yes."

"Having said that, I will announce one more thing. I think you have heard the rumors these days. My youngest daughter, Princess Jinyang, is over fifteen years old, so I decree to marry Princess Jinyang to you." On Dongshan Houxuan Shijing, the auspicious day was chosen to exchange marriage letters on the first day of the ninth lunar month, and Prince Li Chengqian was the palace envoy."

"My son obeys the order." Li Chengqian responded.

The so-called envoys, one person from each family of the man and the woman, is the person responsible for exchanging marriage certificates, and usually they choose decent and bright young people from their relatives to take on the role, and the most decent young man in the royal family is not the promising young man like Prince Li Chengqian ?
As for the envoy from Xuan Shijing's side, Xuan Shijing thought about it, and now Chang'an Xuanjia has only one seedling like him, without even a side branch. There is only Xuan Qing alone.

Now Xuan Qing is working as an editor in the Hanlin Academy, and has become an official at a young age, so he is considered promising, but thinking of Xuan Lindao and his wife, Xuan Shijing doesn't really want Xuan Qing to be an envoy.

But the custom is like this. In a marriage, the candidates for the letter must be relatives of both parties.

This made Xuan Shijing a little embarrassed.

"Now there is only one male in the Xuan family, Jing'er. I don't think anyone will accept this envoy. Jing'er, how about I assign you the envoy of the Marquis Mansion?" His Majesty Li Er looked at Xuan Shi Jing asked.

"Sir, thank you, Your Majesty."

In this way, Xuan Shijing's marriage will not involve Xuan Lindao's family, and Xuan Shijing is relieved. He really doesn't want to have a relationship with that uncle's family who has a strange brain because of these things. What's the matter.

"So, Ke'er, as Jing'er's emissary, you can help Jing'er." His Majesty Li Er looked at Li Ke.

"My son complies with the order." Li Ke stood up and answered, then looked towards Xuan Shijing and smiled.

Xuan Shijing also nodded and smiled in response.

"I have appointed you in this way. Speaking of it, it is not considered to have exceeded the ancient etiquette. No one in the court knows except the festival. I and Jing'er's father are sworn brothers." His Majesty Li Er said: "Jing'er said it was a foreigner. Minister, but these years, I have also regarded him as my own child. Mingde left early, and never saw his son grow up, marry a wife and have children with his own eyes, so I will watch and wait until a hundred years later. Brother tell."

Speaking of Xuan Mingde at this juncture, His Majesty Li Er announced the relationship between himself and Xuan Mingde, and when he said this, His Majesty Li Er's eyes were also red.

Xuan Shijing is the only bloodline of Xuan Mingde in this world, the only one who continues
However, what His Majesty Li Er said shocked the courtiers. Many people in the palace came from the era when His Majesty Li Er was still the second son of the Li family, and many people came from the era of King Qin. His Majesty Li Er fought north and south, but he has never heard of it. His Majesty and the former Duke of Jin are sworn brothers.

No wonder, after Xuan Mingde's death, he will be posthumously named the Duke of Jin. No wonder, since this Xuanhou was born, His Majesty has been so caring, but there is still such a friendship in it.

Apparently His Majesty Li Er's mood has dropped, and the atmosphere in the entire Linde Hall has become depressed.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be sentimental on the day of great joy." Xuan Shijing said to His Majesty Li Er with a smile.

"Yeah, today is a good day. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the marriage between Jing'er and Sizi has been settled again. It should be happy. Come, I will drink this cup with all of you." His Majesty Li Er held up the cup on the table. Gold bottle.

"Congratulations to His Majesty, congratulations to Xuanhou."

His Majesty Li Er and everyone in the hall drank the sake in the cup in one gulp.

The matter of the envoy has come to an end. Li Chengqian, the envoy, will definitely do his best, because on the first day of September, Jinyang's marriage letter will be exchanged between Li Chengqian and Xuan Shijing.

And Li Ke's task was to go to the princess mansion with the marriage letter and dowry, accompanied by officials from the Ministry of Rites.

No matter what happens, the princess will not be able to escape the presence of the Ministry of Rites. After all, Xuan Shijing's name, as well as the children of Xuan Shijing and Jinyang, will also be included in the royal family.

After Xuan Shijing gave the No. [-] house in Daozhengfang to Jinyang, His Majesty Li Er built another princess mansion for Jinyang in Yongchangfang. His Majesty was ruthless in front of him, and insisted on putting the Princess Mansion listing on Daozheng Square. The sign of the house was still His Majesty Li Er's imperial pen, and his Majesty Li Er's private seal was placed on it.

This is the love of a father for his daughter.

And Li Chengqian took over the marriage letter and dowry, naturally in the Princess Mansion in Daozhengfang.

The marriage between Xuan Shijing and Jinyang will soon spread throughout Chang'an, and then throughout Gyeonggi. Whether it can be known to everyone in the Tang Dynasty depends on the next step.
His Majesty Li Er told this matter personally, and Xuan Shijing finally felt nervous. From August [-]th to September [-]st, there is only half a month left. Once the marriage certificates are exchanged, the day of getting married , it's not far away, there will be a decree issued in the palace tomorrow, and it will be fixed together with the wedding date
The Linde Hall was still bustling with activity, Xuan Shijing looked at the time on the sundial outside, and it was time to leave.

After speaking a few words with Li Chengqian, he asked the little eunuch to pass a message to Deyi, and Xuan Shijing took his leave and left the Linde Palace. Deyi will relay the matter of Xuan Shijing's departure to His Majesty Li Er.

Anyway, it's not the first time he's done this kind of thing, so it's no surprise.

After leaving the palace, Xuan Shijing rode directly to the Xuanwu Tower. At this time, the largest private room in the Xuanwu Tower should be full of people, all of whom are famous wealthy merchants in Chang'an City. They are all waiting for Xuan Shijing, the young Marquis.

Xuan Shijing arrived so late that he didn't even have time to change his court clothes, so he threw his horse at the door and went straight to the fourth floor.
