The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"So what if you haven't reached adulthood? It won't stop you from getting married and having children." Li Shimin said with a smile, "I heard that many families in Chang'an wanted to marry you before the New Year, but you ran to the farm and ignored them all."

"So, if I wanted to get married and have children now, I wouldn't have run away." Li Fu said with a smile, "Besides, I still have to feel for my other half. Otherwise, it would be awkward to marry a wife and only see her for the first time on the wedding night. You said, if she is pretty and gentle, it's okay to fall in love with her over time.

What if she is not pretty?"

"You can't just look at her appearance when marrying a virtuous wife." Li Shimin said.

Li Fu pouted.

Yes, marry a virtuous wife. I haven't seen anyone in your harem who is not pretty...

So why can't I find someone who is both pretty and has a good temperament?

It's not like our family doesn't have the conditions now.

"When the fate comes, it will come naturally." Li Fu smiled.

But the words of Empress Changsun also reminded him of one thing. He was still thinking about the prime minister's will just now. Because the times are different, the woman in her twenties is considered "old maid" in this era.

There are few people who haven't got engaged in their twenties.

The atmosphere in the Tang Dynasty is indeed open, and the concept of marriage is also open.

If you don't get married at an old age, your family will build a Taoist temple and make you a real person in name.

That means, I am broken in the world and become a monk.

But after becoming a monk, you can return to the secular world at any time.

It's nothing more than dealing with things.

Isn't this how Emperor Minghuang of Tang snatched his daughter-in-law?

So if you have time, you should think about it a little. After all, he is a prince, and he can't think about other people's families...

After everyone selected a place, Li Shimin's entourage began to set up the place, laying a large blanket on the grass, and then moving a table from the carriage behind and placing it on the blanket.

After the cushions were laid, Li Shimin and several people around him sat down, and Changsun sat beside Li Shimin.

After leaving the palace, the three children played happily around like caged birds.

Everything outside the palace was new to the children, and they rarely had the opportunity to run freely in the suburbs on such a spring day.

Li Fu also asked Dong Jiu to go back to the house and bring all the things prepared in advance to the people in the palace, and they could take them after they checked the safety.

"I originally wanted to go hunting in the forest in the spring, but when I think about the animals in the mountains, most of them have been sleeping for a whole winter. When the weather gets warmer, they come out to look for food. Spring brings vitality to all things, and we can't take away this vitality. So, let's go out together, walk around your farm, take a look at the scenery, and relax." Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Second brother and all the gentlemen, you all have a kind heart, and the people of the Tang Dynasty are fortunate." Li Fu flattered gently.

Everyone present heard this and smiled kindly.

Changsun looked at Li Fu.

"Prince Jingyang has been in Chang'an City for a long time. Have you heard of any marriageable women in the families you have contacted?"

Changsun knew that Li Fu's parents were gone now, and the emperor lived in Da'an Palace. It might be a while. If no one else mentioned it, and Li Fu himself didn't say it, the emperor might not remember this matter.

So she felt that since she and His Majesty were Li Fu's brother and sister-in-law, they should pay more attention to their brother's marriage.

Li Fu was now old enough, and this matter should be put on the agenda. In two years, he would be of age. Even if he didn't get married, it would be good to have a chosen marriage partner.

"I'm busy all day, where can I go to meet people?" Li Fu smiled helplessly, "The Lantern Festival is a good opportunity. I originally wanted to see if there were any decent-looking young ladies on the street..."

"Ahem." Li Shimin covered his mouth and coughed lightly.

"Oh, just to see if there are any suitable girls. After all, the chance of meeting them on the Lantern Festival is relatively high, hahaha." Li Fu explained hurriedly.

But he didn't expect that he wanted to go out to see beautiful young ladies on the Lantern Festival, but he was assassinated and almost died on the bank of Qujiang Lake.

Changsun looked at Li Shimin helplessly, and then sighed.

"That's right. After all, it was the Lantern Festival... That's all. Let's not talk about the past." Chang Sun smiled and said, "In the future, I will keep an eye on you in the palace. When you come to your senses, I will help you deal with it."

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Li Fu bowed and smiled.

At this time, the people in Li Fu's house had already sent the things here, and the eunuchs in the palace were checking those things. After checking, they had people carry them over.

In front of the beautiful scenery, everyone rarely went out of the palace to walk in the suburbs to relax. Here, there was no treacherous situation in the court, so the atmosphere was much more relaxed during the conversation.

When in the palace, it was said that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, but outside, when Li Shimin was chatting with Zhangsun Wuji and others, he would occasionally look sideways at Zhangsun beside him and ask for her views and opinions.

Li Fu was not interested in the topics that Li Shimin and others were talking about.

He was tinkering with the barbecue grill with his three children.

The three children were happy to play with Li Fu, barbecue in the wild, and cook delicious food. In their eyes, it was like playing house.

But following Uncle Wang was different from playing house.

"Uncle Wang, I still want to eat the beggar chicken I made last time." Li Chengqian looked at Li Fu with a look of desire in his eyes.

"Uncle Wang, I want to eat it too. Last time, my elder brother told me that the roast chicken you made was delicious." Li Tai also looked at Li Fu.

Li Lizhi's eyes also fell on Li Fu.

At this moment, how could Li Fu bear to disappoint the children's expectations?

"Okay! Let's do it!" Li Fu smiled and responded: "Now we are in the manor, and the materials are much more complete than before in the hunting ground."

Not to mention that there are materials on hand now, even if there are none, Li Fu will ask people to go back to the house to get them.

Li Fu was busy grilling skewers for the children while he was distracted. Thinking about it, he remembered the young man in white clothes he saw on the Lantern Festival.

Li Shaonian... Li Shaonian...

He should also be a person from Chang'an, judging from his clothes and martial arts.

He used a long spear as a weapon, and the spear looked rich and exquisite, which ordinary people could not afford.
