Chapter 54

Li Lizhen heard Wei Hao's words and couldn't believe it, so she still stared at Wei Hao: "What you said is true?" ”

"This kind of thing, I still lie to you? By the way, you're going to marry your cousin, that's not going to work! Hey, you just say where your home is, I'll ask my dad to invite the matchmaker! Wei Hao said anxiously to Li Li.

"No, you can't go, but my cousin is really annoying, he thinks I don't know, he will go to the painting boat, and in his yard, there are several girls who have a room, that is, a concubine, seven or eight years older than me, and they want to marry me!" Li Lizhi sat down and said angrily to Wei Hao.

"Isn't this scum? Scumbag better than me? When Wei Hao heard this, he looked at Li Lizhen in surprise and said.

"Huh?" Li Lizhi stared at Wei Hao.

"What do you want me to do?" Wei Hao looked at Li Li and questioned incomprehensibly.

"What did you do?" Li Li looked at Wei Hao angrily and asked.

"What did I do, I just didn't know before, I thought that taking a concubine was also a marriage, so I asked everywhere where those girls lived, and said that I wanted to marry them home, how did I know, I can only marry one?" Wei Hao said to Li Liqing.

"You don't even know this?" Li Lizhen heard it and looked at Wei Hao with a suspicious expression.

"I don't know, no one told me about this, by the way, who is your cousin? Do you want me to beat him up and give you a dissipation? I'll go with my face covered, I guess your cousin's family is also powerful, I can't afford to mess with me without a mask! Wei Hao smiled at Li Lizhen and said.

"Breath, that's all you have the guts?" Li Li looked at Wei Hao with disdain and said.

"If you have the ability to protect me, I'll beat him now, really, your father's status is so high, your cousin's family, it is estimated that it will not be bad? How dare I provoke it directly? Wei Hao immediately pushed back.

"Don't use it yet, look at him, as long as he doesn't pester me, hmph, he's so old, and he doesn't marry, he wants to beat my idea! What a wolf ambition. Li Lizhi sat there and said angrily.

"Yes, wolf ambition, beat him!" Wei Hao said very supportively.

"By the way, how is your ceramic workshop, when will you be able to burn ceramics?" Li Lizhi thought of this and asked.

"Soon, ten days at most will be enough." Wei Hao ate and said to Li Liqing.

"I'm going to eat duck skin, you've eaten it all!" Li Lizhi saw that the roast duck didn't have much duck skin, and immediately shouted at Wei Hao.

"Wouldn't it be nice to have another one? What's the hurry? Wei Hao said indifferently and continued to eat there.

Originally, Li Lizhi didn't have much appetite, but when she saw Wei Hao eating like this, she also began to eat.

After eating, Li Lizhen proudly went to the paper workshop to have a look, and now Wei Hao also taught Li Liqin those skills, so Li Lizhen also understood, and there was no need for Wei Hao to go over.

However, in her heart, she was thinking about the marriage of close relatives that Wei Hao said, and she had a plan in her heart.

This matter, I must arrange someone to investigate it, check whether there is really such a thing, if there is, then I can completely refuse the marriage with the eldest grandson Chong.

After returning to the palace, Li Lizhi immediately mobilized the acquaintances of the Praetorian Guards and asked them to start arranging people to investigate.

Those people didn't know what Li Lizhen meant, why did they still have to check this, but since Li Lizhen had arranged it, they could only check it.

Three days later, the Praetorian Guards handed over a report to Li Liqing, and they surveyed a total of 500 families of close relatives who had married, of which more than 300 had died in infancy, and more had stillborn children, and more than 100 had problems with births.

Seeing this report, Li Lizhen was very shocked, she never thought that there would be such a thing.

So I took this report and went to the Lizheng Palace, this matter still needs to be told to Empress Changsun, she knows that Empress Changsun supports her.

Empress Eldest Sun took the report and looked at it carefully, and when she just came in, Li Lizhen had already told her about it.

"You said that Wei Hao said this, he said that if close relatives get married, it will be easy to give birth to problematic children, and it is also easy to be stillborn?" After reading the report, Empress Eldest Sun looked at Li Lizhi with a solemn expression.

"Well, the queen mother, the sons didn't believe it at first, so they asked the Praetorian Guards to investigate, but I didn't expect it to be true." Li Lizhi nodded and said.

"Okay, the queen mother knows, you also don't want to marry Chong'er, right?" Empress Eldest Sun put down the report and said with a smile at Li Liqing.

"I don't want to!" Li Lizhi replied in the affirmative.

"Why, is it because I like Wei Hao?" Empress Eldest Sun continued to ask with a smile.

"The queen mother, it doesn't have much to do with Wei Hao, even if I don't know Wei Hao, I don't want to marry him, he is so old, there are several concubines in the yard, and he will go to the painting boat, the daughter doesn't say that she can't go to the painting boat, but the eldest cousin is a frequent visitor to the painting boat, and the daughter is outside, but I often hear rumors about him, saying that which people in the house are invited to play in the painting boat today, and who will be invited tomorrow, the queen mother, you don't want your sons to marry such amorous people!" Li Lizhi sat there and said to Empress Eldest Sun.

"And such a thing?" Empress Eldest Sun was also frowning at the moment, she didn't know these things.

"It's true, and there are several concubines in his yard, why don't you marry at such an age, why do you want to marry me so much? He has all the children, and he doesn't have a wife, hmph, if you say that you are two or three years older than me, Erchen still thinks about it, and Erchen still comes to me with so many sons?

Uncle too, doesn't he just hope to keep his family's prosperity and wealth through me? He was originally the uncle of the eldest brother, isn't it the same? Why do you need me? Li Lizhi sat there and said very aggrievedly,

When Empress Changsun heard this, she was also very helpless, of course she also hoped that her brother's family would be able to be prosperous and rich forever.

However, his daughter doesn't want to marry in the past, and as Li Lizhen said, the eldest grandson Wuji has indeed been staring at Li Lizhen, Li Lizhen is the eldest princess of this dynasty, although she is not Li Shimin's eldest daughter, but she is the eldest daughter, and she is also deeply liked by Li Shimin!

"Okay, the queen mother knows, if you don't want to marry in the past, you won't marry in the past, but don't say these words that offend your uncle, after all, your uncle has assisted your father and emperor in doing a lot of things, and he also has a credit for this dynasty." Empress Eldest Sun reminded Li Lizhen and said.

"This daughter knows that her daughter never talks nonsense outside! Thank you, Queen Mother! Li Lizhi heard her say that if she didn't marry, she wouldn't marry, and she was still very happy.

"Silly girl!" Empress Eldest Sun stroked Li Li's hair with a smile, feeling that her daughter had really grown up.

After Li Lizhi left, Empress Changsun immediately mobilized the people around her and asked them to investigate the marriage of this close relative, at this time she also attached great importance to it, the population of Datang was already insufficient, and if this matter was true, it would be very helpful to improve Li Shimin's prestige if it was announced, so she needed to personally determine this matter and see if it was really as Wei Hao said!

Three days later, a new report came to the hands of Empress Changsun, this time she investigated on a larger scale and in more detail, Empress Changsun saw this report, worried that it would not work, so many children died like this, as a mother, she felt very uncomfortable.

"What's wrong?" Li Shimin also came to the Lizheng Hall for dinner at this moment, and when he saw the eldest grandson queen looking at things and worried, he immediately asked.

"Your Majesty, look at this investigation report, it was sent by the concubine to investigate!" Empress Changsun gave the report of her investigation to Li Shimin, and Li Shimin took it puzzled.

"This is a report that there is a problem with the marriage of close relatives and the birth of children, and the marriage of close relatives is related by blood within three generations, for example, the children of two brothers and sisters are married, or the marriage of the same Tai Azu, they have problems with children, and even many children are stillborn!" Empress Eldest Sun said to Li Shimin.

"What?" Li Shimin didn't understand a little, and didn't know why she would investigate such a thing, but she still took it and looked at it carefully, and at first glance, it was shocking, there were so many questions.

"Is this true or false?" Li Shimin looked at Empress Eldest Sun in shock and asked.

"Your Majesty, you can personally send someone to investigate, including those who are not close relatives marrying, you can check, and you can only know if there is a problem if there is a comparison!" Empress Eldest Sun looked at Li Shimin and said.

"Check, you must check!" Li Shimin said on the spot that he wanted to investigate, such a thing is not a trivial matter. "By the way, how did you come up with the idea to look this up?" Thinking of this, Li Shimin asked.

"Lizhi told me, Lizhi was told to him by Wei Hao! Lizhi went to check, this is his report, and there are a lot of problems, the concubine thought that Lizhi might not want to marry Chong'er, and deliberately said so, but I didn't expect it, it was really like this after checking, if so, then Lizhi and Chong'er's marriage, the concubine didn't agree, and the concubine didn't want Lizhi to suffer like this, you see, in the investigation report, there are still many women who died in childbirth! Empress Eldest Sun continued to say sadly.

"I must find out, tomorrow I will let people find out, if this is the case, then I will not agree to the marriage of Lizhi and Chong'er, I can't joke with that daughter's life." Li Shimin nodded and said.

"Come, let's eat, Lizhi brought back some food from Juxian Building, and the concubine just asked people to warm it up!" Empress Eldest Sun said to Li Shimin, but Li Shimin was still thinking about this matter, and his heart was shocked,

But there is also a little doubt, how did Wei Hao know about this matter, he went to investigate, he was alone, how to investigate? Otherwise, how did he know, could it be that this person has great wisdom as the queen said?
