The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 654 Asking for a Marriage
When Xuan Shijing heard His Majesty Li Er's words, it was like hearing the sounds of nature. These words came at the right time.

"Return to Your Majesty, what your Majesty said is correct, I actually already have a sweetheart in my heart, and I will not marry her in this life!" Xuan Shijing bowed to His Majesty Li Er.

"Oh? Whose family's Miss Qianjin? Tell me." His Majesty Li Er asked with a smile.

Asking knowingly, His Majesty Li Er definitely did it on purpose.
"Return to Your Majesty, the person in my heart is Her Royal Highness Princess Jinyang, please make up my mind for me!" Xuan Shijing almost shouted, saying these words, and he was also cheering himself up in his heart.

"Hahahahahahahaha!" After hearing Xuan Shijing's answer, His Majesty Li Er laughed loudly: "Xuan Shijing! Good boy! You really have a good eye, and you actually fell in love with my favorite daughter!"

"I hope Your Majesty will make it happen!" Xuan Shijing hit the iron while the iron was hot, left his seat, walked to the center, and knelt down: "Your Majesty, please grant me a marriage!"

The brief conversation between the monarch and his ministers made the entire imperial garden quiet. The Master Fang knew it well, and it was no wonder that the Marquis of Dongshan refused. It turned out that he had taken a fancy to Princess Jinyang, although the royal son-in-law was not good. Yes, but it seems that Princess Jinyang is not in this case. Looking back, after Dongshan Hou returned to Chang'an, he walked very close to Princess Jinyang. It seems that there has been a secret love between the two.

Thinking of this, Master Fang no longer insisted, how could He De, his own daughter, compete with Princess Jinyang for her husband.Shaking his head secretly, Mr. Fang returned to his seat.

If Mr. Fang is relieved, then Mr. Zheng's face is as green as the buds that have just been sprouted from the trees in the imperial garden.

Yucheng Xuan Shijing's affairs with Fang's family can make Xuan Shijing feel disgusted at first, in order to avenge the killing of Zheng family's dead.

Now, Lord Zheng knows that the relationship between Xuan Shijing and Princess Jinyang is different from that of others. After a long time, if it continues to develop, it is a certainty that the two will be married by His Majesty Li Er. Dear, then there will be no possibility with Princess Jinyang, so the children of the Zheng family will have a chance again?Although the chances are slim, there must be no chance.

"Jing'er, I have heard the empress mention the matter between you and Sizi, but now Sizi is still young, I don't want her to marry so early, and I want to keep her in the palace for another two years, So, let’s not mention the marriage for now.” His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and said, “But since this matter has been brought to the fore today, even though we can’t grant a marriage, I will leave this matter to you. Between you and Sizi, let’s settle down like this.”

"Your Majesty, I don't understand what you are doing."

"What I mean is to put this matter on hold for the time being. What should you do with Sizi? When Sizi reaches the age of fifteen, I will immediately decree that you two get married. How about it?" His Majesty Li Er said. .

"Yes, I thank Your Majesty for your grace!"

After finishing speaking, His Majesty Li Er felt even more embarrassed towards Xuan Shijing. When Jinyang turned fifteen, Xuan Shijing would be nineteen. Although it is not too late for a man to get married at nineteen, but in Among the noble children of Chang'an City, it is already too late.

Although it was just a verbal will of His Majesty Li Er, the marriage between Xuan Shijing and Princess Jinyang had already been settled if there was nothing wrong with it. Therefore, some people present had some ideas about what Xuan Shijing said before, but this At that time, these thoughts also disappeared with His Majesty Li Er's oral order.

Even if they can accept their daughter's concubine called Xuan Shijing, but this is not wishful thinking.

Returning to her seat, Xuan Shijing finally felt relieved. She never thought that after she came back, she would stir up so many things in Chang'an City, and there would be someone who would fancy her and want to marry her daughter to him. Aren't you afraid that you will be dragged down by yourself in the future? ?
"Little Jing, that's amazing. In front of all court civil and military officials, you just ran away like this. Are you going to call me uncle in the future?" Li Tai approached Xuan Shijing and joked with a smile .

"If you don't invite His Majesty's will, I'm afraid there will be more such things in the future. Therefore, it's better to end it once and for all, lest I be so missed, and my son is also missed." Xuan Shijing replied: "As for uncle, hehe, it won't be too late to change my mind after my son-in-law and I get married."

"You boy, really, you're so good that you got cheap, I really want to know Sizi's expression when he knows this, it must be very exciting." Li Tai ignored Xuan Shijing, poured himself a drink.

The matter between Xuan Shijing and Princess Jinyang is destined to be the highlight of today, and it also kicked off today's banquet. Afterwards, there were not a few people who asked His Majesty Li Er for his will to marry him. Most of the ministers It has been discussed in private, and taking this opportunity to let His Majesty Li Er make an order can be regarded as adding a bit of color to the wedding of a couple, and His Majesty Li Er seems to like being a matchmaker very much. Another decree of grace was issued in this way.

The decree of giving marriage to some people at the imperial garden banquet does not need to go through Menxia Sheng and Zhongshu Sheng. In this way, it saves a lot of time. Yi sent someone to someone's house, and the person who was given a marriage, with this decree of grace, spread it, and it would be very face-saving.

Many Jinshi who participated in Chunwei were also favored by some ministers in the court through this banquet, and they were recruited as the son-in-law of the east bed. This is the four great joys in life, and they accounted for two at once, which can be said to be double happiness. , It can also be called a carp jumping over the dragon's gate.

This kind of marriage bond is everywhere in the court, if it is useless, there will not be so many people to strengthen the relationship through marriage.

Except for Chun Wei's top pick, the queen of the Zheng family's side room, the remaining No. [-] and Tanhua have become the targets of more people. After all, they are favored by His Majesty Li Er. Such people are very useful to some families. Yes, so, naturally there will be no fewer people who throw olive branches at the two of them.

And the "No. [-] Scholar" obviously had a family, judging from his age.Therefore, sitting at the banquet, it seems that no one cares about it.

By this time, the people in the imperial garden were not restrained, they were walking around chatting with the wine merchants in their hands, and the chats between the ministers and Jinshi were very lively.

His Majesty Li Er also drank and chatted happily with Cheng Yaojin and Changsun Wuji. The topics they talked about were nothing more than the days when they were together and shared joys and sorrows.
