Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the game is to touch the Princess Changle

After the court was dismissed, the two envoys from the Western Regions and Zhao Yun's brother and sister were accompanied by officials from the Honglu Temple to the Ganlu Palace.

Su Chen was called to the imperial study by Li Shimin.

"You mentioned the agreement in the court just now, so you will draft it." Li Shimin pointed to the paper and pen prepared on the desk and smiled at Su Chen.

"This agreement is very simple!" Su Chen stood up and came to Li Shimin without any hesitation, picked up the paper and pen from the desk and returned to his seat.

Wang Defa immediately brought the inkstone to Su Chen.

He spread the paper and picked up the brush, swung his right hand a few times, and wrapped the loose cuffs around his lower arm.

He couldn't learn the elegant writing of the ancients, so he held up his sleeve with his left hand.

He dipped the ink, removed a stray hair from the brush, pressed the paper with one hand and wrote at the desk.

Su Chen's smooth movements stunned Li Shimin.

At the same time, he was curious, when did this guy learn to write with a brush?

Li Shimin walked forward and watched Su Chen write the agreement. If the handwriting was too sloppy, it would be fine to copy it later.

The content of the agreement was very clear, indicating the types and prices of the traded materials, the transaction cycle of once every three months, and the two conditions mentioned by Su Chen.

"It's done, Your Majesty..."

After Su Chen finished writing two agreements with the same content, he stood up and found Li Shimin in front of him.

Li Shimin picked up the agreement and looked at it carefully, looking back and forth between the paper and Su Chen's face.

"When did you learn to write well?"

Su Chen's running script did not have any factions, but was a regular running script.

"Oh, I've been working hard recently and practicing more." Su Chen responded casually.

Li Shimin half believed and half doubted, looking at the two agreements with the same content, nodded, "Xuanling, this agreement is signed by you and the Western Regions envoy."

"Your Majesty, why are there two copies of this agreement?"

Li Shimin didn't even raise his eyelids.

He wanted to ask just now, but felt that it would be a bit ignorant to ask it in person, so he asked Fang Xuanling to ask this question.

"In order to ensure the interests of both parties, the agreement is signed and effective in two copies, with a row of small words on it!" Su Chen took the initiative to speak when he saw this.

"Signed and effective, in two copies?" Fang Xuanling thought for a while and understood the trick, "Hahaha, great! The Western Regions and the Tang Dynasty each hold one copy, which can avoid future buck-passing."

Li Shimin also understood, and immediately ordered that all future contracts should be signed in two copies.

"Hehe, the contract agreement can actually be made in multiple copies. For example, if there are witnesses or guarantors, each of the three parties holds one copy." Su Chen laughed and added.

"Well, very good! In the future, the court or the people can implement such agreements and contracts."

In the past, all kinds of contract documents in the Tang Dynasty were only in the hands of the right holders, which would lead to many unclear lawsuits.

"It's getting late! Send someone to find Atana. He has made great contributions to the Western Regions this time." Li Shimin looked at the time and ordered the old king to find Atana.

He was not qualified and did not need to participate in the morning court, but it was okay to invite Atana to Ganlu Hall for dinner.

"Your Majesty, I'll go to Lizheng Hall first if I have nothing to do."

Li Shimin nodded, "Well, don't waste time, invite the queen and others!"

"Okay!" Su Chen bowed and turned to walk out of the imperial study.

Li Chengqian and Li Ke stood up, "Father, I..."

"The third brother stays!" Li Shimin said indifferently.

"Third brother, what do you think of the Princess of the Western Regions?" Suddenly, Li Shimin looked at Li Ke with a smile and asked.

"Father, I think the Princess of the Western Regions is very smart and generous." Li Ke made an objective evaluation based on what he saw and heard in the court.

Fang Xuanling, Zhangsun Wuji and others nodded slightly, agreeing with Li Ke's evaluation.

"Haha, I'm asking you about the appearance of the Princess of the Western Regions!" Li Shimin laughed.

In the morning court before, he felt that Li Ke and the Princess of the Western Regions seemed to be a good match.

"Father, you are..."

...

"Brother-in-law, I feel like you seem to have ulterior motives for the third brother!" Li Chengqian caught up with Su Chen.

"Fuck you!" Su Chen said nothing and elbowed Li Chengqian in the chest.

Isn't this just slander!

"My sister?"

Su Chen glared at Li Chengqian, then changed his face to a malicious smile, and put a hand on his shoulder, "Don't you think that Li Ke is a good match for the princess of the Western Regions?"

Li Chengqian recalled the situation in the morning court and nodded silently.

"Well, the third brother is handsome, and the two are really a good match!"

"That's it, I can't stand the boy Li Ke's serious look all day long. Let him pretend! So, I'm thinking about finding him a wife."

The two of them were arm in arm in the palace, attracting a crowd ofThe palace maids and eunuchs looked at each other.

"By the way, how many wives do you have as a prince?"

Su Chen suddenly became curious. He had known Li Chengqian for so long, but he only knew that he already had a princess.

"Uh~ and a concubine." Li Chengqian was a little embarrassed.

"Concubine? What is that?" Su Chen looked at Li Chengqian sideways, puzzled.

Li Chengqian shook Su Chen off and pointed to the Lizheng Palace in front of him, "Let's talk about this later. Let's go in when we get to Lizheng Palace!"

"Mother!"

"Su Chen, come here and tell us about the Princess of the Western Regions..."

As the two entered the palace, Su Chen was surrounded and interrogated by Empress Changsun and others.

"Uh~ she looks okay, but there is still a small gap compared to Lizhi, brother-in-law, don't you think so?" No matter how stupid Su Chen was, he knew that he couldn't praise the beauty of the Princess of the Western Regions at this time.

"Ah! Yes, yes!" Li Chengqian nodded and cooperated with Su Chen very well.

Seeing the two people's perfunctory attitude, Empress Changsun knew that she couldn't get any truth out of them.

"Mother, my father has already set up a banquet in Ganlu Hall. Let's go now!"

"Huh? Your father asked us to attend the banquet?" Empress Changsun obviously didn't know that Li Shimin would send Li Chengqian and Su Chen to invite them to the banquet.

The banquet for the Western Regions envoys was a court affair.

Besides, there were exactly ten women in Lizheng Hall, including Xiao Sizi, and Su Yan was also there.

"That's right!" Li Chengqian nodded and answered affirmatively.

"Mother, today we have five tables prepared." Su Chen reminded from the side, "Hey, where are Li Tai and Li You?"

"They went to Wude Hall!" Princess Changle replied in a low voice.

Concubine Yin on the side didn't know that Li You had also returned to the palace. Li You and Li Tai did not come to Lizheng Hall with Princess Changle.

"Mother, let's go now! Don't let father wait too long. I'll send someone to call Qingque and Li You."

Empress Changsun nodded, "In that case, let's go to Ganlu Palace now!"

Then, the group went to Ganlu Palace.

"Did the third brother meet the Princess of the Western Regions?" Princess Changle approached Su Chen and asked in a low voice.

Su Chen smiled, "Hehe, not only did they meet, they even sat together and talked!"

"What did the third brother say to the Princess of the Western Regions?" Princess Changle asked immediately.

Su Chen: 'Li Ke, you are polite'

Princess Changle looked at Su Chen speechlessly and asked again, "What is the name of the Princess of the Western Regions?"

"Zhao Yu!"
