Tanabata Diva Concert: Happy Breakup

At this moment, Zheng Zhengjin was sitting in a carriage, and the carriage was heading towards Li Xiaogong's residence. In fact, Zheng Zhengjin's Xian Guogong residence and Li Xiaogong's palace were not far apart, just in the next neighborhood.

Driven by the butler Zhang San, the carriage soon arrived at the gate of Li Xiaogong's Hejian County Prince's mansion.

The red gate, high walls and two stone lions outside the gate are simply majestic.

Zheng Zhengjin got off the car and came to the gate of the Prince's Mansion. He said to the guard at the gate: "Report to your master that the Duke Xian is here to visit."

When the guard saw Zheng Zhengjin for the first time, he was so shocked that he was speechless.

The main reason is that Zheng Zhengjin's appearance and outfit are too novel.

Upon hearing this, the guard immediately smiled and said, "My Lord, my prince has already instructed that if you come, you should be treated well. My Lord, please come in. My prince has already gone to court and should be back soon."

"Okay, thank you very much." Zheng Zhengjin was quickly led into the door by the guards.

At this moment, the princess of Li Xiaogong's palace immediately received the news. She knew that Zheng Zhengjin was on good terms with her prince, and also knew that Xiangcheng was about to get married to him.

The princess was a person who understood etiquette. She asked the servant, "Has the prince not returned yet?"

The servant replied, "Princess, the prince has not returned yet!"

"Go and inform Chongyi to go to the living room with me. Don't be impolite." The princess said domineeringly.

"I understand. I'll go right away." The servant said and left immediately.

The princess herself went to the living room with her maid.

As Zheng Zhengjin was led by the guards on the way, he admired everything in the palace. Looking at the size of the palace, Zheng Zhengjin felt that the size of his own palace could be compared with that of the Prince of Hejian's palace.

Soon, Zheng Zhengjin arrived at the living room and saw a beautiful woman in palace dress and a boy who was about ten years old. The boy opened his eyes wide and looked at Zheng Zhengjin as if he was looking at a rare animal.

"Zheng Zhengjin greets the princess. Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Zheng Zhengjin guessed that the young man should be the Prince of Hejian, Li Xiaogong's eldest son, Li Chongyi.

After Zheng Zhengjin bowed,

The princess immediately smiled and said, "Please take a seat, Duke Xian. My prince has not returned yet, so please don't blame me."

Zheng Zhengjin smiled and said politely, "You are too polite, Princess. I forgot. It is my fault. Why are you blaming His Majesty?"

Zheng Zhengjin took out the schoolbag on his back, opened it, took out more than ten kilograms of apples from it, and then took the initiative to say: "Princess, this is my first time visiting you. This is just a small gift, not a token of respect. Please don't blame me."

The princess' maid came to Zheng Zhengjin, bowed to him, took the apple, and retreated to the princess' side.

The princess smiled tenderly and said, "Duke Xian, you are too polite." Then she looked at the red and transparent apple and asked suspiciously, "Duke Xian, I haven't asked what kind of fruit this is!"

Zheng Zhengjin smiled and said, "Princess, this fruit is called an apple. You can eat it directly after washing the surface with clean water. I personally think it tastes pretty good. It's just a small gift, not a token of respect."

Li Chongyi looked at the apple with shining eyes, and said: "Thank you for the gift from Duke Xian, mother, let me have one and I'll taste it first." The princess nodded, and Li Chongyi smiled happily, then left the living room with the maid who was carrying the apple beside the princess.

Zheng Zhengjin smiled. After all, Li Chongyi is still a child.

Just when the atmosphere was awkward, Li Xiaogong came back. After he walked into the living room, he saw Zheng Zhengjin was there too. He laughed and said, "Haha, Xian Guogong, I am attending a court meeting today, so I am delayed a lot. Please don't blame me." Then he smiled and said to his own princess, "Princess, go and make arrangements. Tell the kitchen that I want to entertain guests today."

"I'll take my leave." The princess smiled gently and left the living room.

"Come, sit down and talk." There are also many stools and chairs in Li Xiaogong's house. After all, since Zheng Zhengjin made the method of making chairs public, it has become popular throughout Chang'an, and it has also become popular in many places where the news has been heard.

After Zheng Zhengjin sat down, Li Xiaogong continued to ask: "What are your plans for your wedding with Le Yan?"

Zheng Zhengjin said solemnly: "Now that the Tang Dynasty has just been established, it would be a waste. Le Yan suggested that I just do it simply."

Li Xiaogong looked at Zheng Zhengjin in surprise, and then asked, "What about you?"

Zheng Zhengjin nodded: "Le Yan's idea is similar to mine. I also think it would be better to do it simply. But when I consider that Le Yan is a daughter of the royal family, even if it is simpler, it won't be that simple. So I am quite worried."

Li Xiaogong was also a little confused, and then asked tentatively: "How should we hold a wedding in your hometown?"

Zheng Zhengjin was speechless and said, "How should I put it? Actually, it is very simple in our hometown, but it is not applicable at all in the Tang Dynasty." Zheng Zhengjin thought that if he was in their hometown, he would definitely drive to marry his wife himself.

"Can you tell me about the way of getting married in your place?" Li Xiaogong was very curious and wanted to know how the immortals got married.

Zheng Zhengjin smiled and said, "That's not necessary. After all, when in Rome, do as the Romans do, right?"

Then Zheng Zhengjin said again: "Your Highness, I would like to ask if it takes a lot of copper coins to marry a wife in the Tang Dynasty. If so, I have to exchange some."

"According to etiquette, it should be necessary, but you are different. You are not from the Tang Dynasty, so if there is any conflict with the etiquette, we can negotiate it out." Li Xiaogong meant that if the immortal's hometown does not have so many complicated etiquette, then they should follow the customs of Zheng Zhengjin's hometown.

Zheng Zhengjin then asked Li Xiaogong: "Your Majesty, can you tell me how much it would cost to marry a princess according to the etiquette? Of course, I'm talking about the betrothal gift."

Li Xiaogong calculated and said, "If I marry a princess, the price has not yet been determined. After all, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it is not called marrying a princess, but marrying a princess."

Zheng Zhengjin slapped his forehead. He had actually forgotten this.

Zheng Zhengjin then reached into his bag and took out a pile of land deeds. He said to Li Xiaogong, "Your Highness, these are all the deeds of open-pit coal mines around Chang'an and Taiyuan. Now I have handed over the production method of honeycomb coal to the Ministry of Industry, so I will give all of these to His Majesty the Emperor. Just consider it a betrothal gift."

Li Xiaogong was shocked. That stack of land deeds would definitely become the property of their descendants, and they could easily develop into a noble family.

He knew that the Ministry of Industry had been very busy recently.

Li Xiaogong wanted to say, "I don't have a daughter. If I had a daughter, I would want her to marry you." (End of this chapter)
