Chapter 287 Li Lizhi’s Marriage
The atmosphere in Qingli Palace was a little heavy for a while.

Changsun Wugu was somewhat complaining about his daughter. It was unbecoming for a woman to join the army.

"Sorry mother."

Li Lizhi pursed her lips and lowered her head.

Changsun Wugou looked at her for a long time, and finally sighed quietly and said: "It's all my fault. I neglected to care about you during that time, so you..."

"No, this has nothing to do with you, mother. These are all the daughter's own thoughts."

Li Lizhi raised her head and said firmly.

Then she paused for a moment, glanced at Li Yu in the arms of her eldest grandson Wujia, and said softly: "My mother is happy in her current life, and my daughter is also happy for her mother. Let what happened in the past be in the past, I don't care anymore. ”

What she said made Changsun Wugou feel even more unhappy.

Zheng Guanyin was troubled by the relationship between their mother and daughter, so she changed the subject and said: "Li Zhi, your engagement with Changsun Chong, the legitimate son of Lord Changsun, has been delayed for more than three years. When you come back this time, you do not intend to marry him. ?"

After hearing Zheng Guanyin's words, Changsun Wugou also looked over.

Li Lizhi's marriage is something she is extremely concerned about now.

As early as a few years ago, she took the lead in finding a marriage for Li Lizhi and helped her choose a marriage partner.

And this target is her brother Changsun Wuji's eldest son, Changsun Chong.

At this time, it was not uncommon for cousins ​​to marry cousins, just like Li Chengdao married the daughter of his uncle Zheng Yuanzhou, which was allowed by etiquette and law.

Li Lizhi has been familiar with Changsun Chong since she was a child. The two have this kind of relationship, and Changsun Chong is also a handsome man, so he can naturally be a good match for Li Lizhi.

But since the engagement was made three years ago, Li Lizhi has been fighting overseas. It was not until Yue Fei returned to the capital some time ago to report on his work that she followed him back.

"Engagement? Let's talk about this..."

When it came to the engagement, a trace of panic flashed in Li Lizhi's eyes and she said perfunctorily.

Changsun Wugou frowned. Li Lizhi was not too young now. She was already 23 years old. She was considered an older leftover girl in this era.

Only Changsun Chong has been waiting for her. If the two had not been engaged for a long time, the people from the capital who came to Changsun Chong to propose marriage would have crossed the threshold of Changsun's family.

Just when Changsun Wugou was about to teach Li Lizhi a few words, a tall and tall figure appeared at the entrance of Qingli Palace, attracting everyone's attention.

It was Li Chengdao.

"See Your Majesty—"

Except for Zheng Guanyin, the eldest grandson Wugou, Li Lizhi and the eunuchs and maids in the palace all bowed down and saluted.

"My beloved, please get up, there is no need to perform such false etiquette."

Li Chengdao walked over, then looked at Li Lizhi, with a hint of surprise on his face, and said with a smile: "It turns out that my heroine from the Tang Dynasty is here. I haven't seen you for a long time, but I often hear about you overseas. Magnificent military exploits.”

"Pengju thinks very highly of you."

Li Lizhi lowered her head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, your praise is ridiculous. It's just the teacher's favor. I will be the one to suffer."

"This is not..."

Li Chengdao sighed and was about to speak, but Changsun Wugou pulled his sleeve and complained: "Your Majesty, please don't be as majestic as her."

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore."

Li Chengdao smiled helplessly, then sat down directly at the table, and said to Li Li: "Sit down, don't be formal."

However, Li Lizhi shook her head and replied: "General, I still have military affairs to deal with, so I won't stay any longer. General, I will retire." After saying this, he clasped his fists and bowed his head in salute, turned and left.

All movements are crisp and neat, full of heroic spirit.

Watching Li Lizhi's figure disappear at the entrance of Qingli Palace, Li Chengdao withdrew his indifferent gaze.

He knew that Li Lizhi just didn't want to have too much contact or conversation with him.

Although the grudges between the two parties have long since disappeared with the passage of time, both Li Shimin and Li Chengqian died indirectly in his hands, and this gap cannot be eliminated.

Li Lizhi respected him because of his status as the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Although Changsun Wugou saw it, she couldn't say anything from her position and could only sigh in her heart.

After a while, she calmed down the chaotic thoughts in her heart and asked Li Chengdao: "Why did your Majesty go to court so early today?"

Li Chengdao picked up Li Yu from the cradle and said with a smile: "It's too late to wait. There are not many government affairs to deal with. I haven't been busy for a long time and I have no time."

Hearing this, Zheng Guanyin smiled and said: "This is a good thing. There are no affairs for you, the emperor, to handle. It means that the Tang Dynasty is going well, peaceful and healthy."

"What the Queen Mother said is true, so I came to court earlier to accompany Yu'er. Now even the old man Wei Zheng can't say anything to me."

"Don't you think so, Yu'er~"

Li Chengdao rubbed Li Yu's face with the elder's slightly stubbled chin and spoke affectionately.

Li Yu was made to giggle by Li Chengdao, and reached out to grab Li Chengdao's nose, but Li Chengdao didn't care at all.

Such a scene made both Changsun Wugou and Zheng Guanyin smile knowingly.

"It would be great if I could have more blood from the Li family. So far, I only have Yu'er and Rou'er. I really can't rest assured."

Zheng Guanyin sighed.

Hearing her words, Li Chengdao hugged Yu'er and said nonchalantly: "Didn't that wandering Taoist priest say the year before last that this is destiny, why should you be persistent, Queen Mother?"

"When Yu'er grows up, just give him the task of opening up the Li family."

Li Chengdao was very open to this.

If no other heir is born, then there is no harm in passing the throne to Li Yu.

Anyway, in the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty, the surrounding threats have been eliminated. As long as he is not a complete idiot, he can become an emperor by relying on the family fortune he left behind.

And Li Yu has already prepared Jia Xu and Changsun Wuji as teachers. With these two teaching him when he grows up, how stupid can he be?

So he wasn't worried at all.

"You, you are almost [-] years old, but you are still so troublesome. Do you believe the words of the wandering Taoist priest?"

Zheng Guanyin was helpless towards Li Chengdao's attitude.

Then she said: "My mother has helped you select a group of concubines to enter the palace. Among them, there is a pair of sisters who I think are very good. They are from the family of the governor of Jingzhou. They are called Wu Shun and Wu Mei. Please look back..."

"what?"

Li Chengdao originally didn't care when he heard that Zheng Guanyin had accepted a concubine for him, but when he heard the next sentence, his expression suddenly changed.

Wu Mei?Wu Meiniang?Wu Zetian? !
Li Chengdao simply didn't know what words to use to express his shock. Zheng Guanyin actually selected Wu Meiniang into the palace as a concubine!

Meiniang is the nickname given by Li Shimin, I know.Zetian was named Queen Zetian because of her, I also know that.Wu Zhao was the name she chose herself, and I knew it too.

Please be merciful, brother, and don't use my name. )
