Chapter 20: Nephews
Travel? Outing?
In fact, here in Li Yuanjia, it is called a spring outing.
When he was still in Luzhou, he would occasionally go around the outside of the city, climb the mountain, play in the water, look at the scenery, and when he was interested, he would still barbecue some meat or something in the field.
However, in addition to the people in the house, this is the first time to travel with other people.
So after writing a reply letter to Fang Zhizhi, indicating that there was no problem on his side, Li Yuanjia rubbed his chin and pondered - of course, what he was thinking about was not Fang Zhizhi who sent the invitation, but the other owner of the house, that is, his future Han princess Fang Fengzhu!
Should that girl be sixteen or seventeen now?
It's a pity that Li Yuanjia's impression of this eldest lady is vague, and he can't imagine what he looks like at all. For a man who is about to become the groom's officer, this is undoubtedly a very terrifying thing. When the time comes, the curtain will be lifted on the night of the candle in the cave room, if the big beauty is naturally happy, and Li Yuanjia, who is not ugly, can accept it, I am afraid that a face like a flower will suddenly appear......
"Phew!"
When he thought of this, Li Yuanjia subconsciously shuddered.
However, these distracting thoughts in his mind were immediately dispelled, and Li Yuanjia shook his head. Although he didn't have much impression of that fiancée, Fang Xuanling saw him every day, a proper old handsome guy. Coupled with the noble birth of the old house, Mrs. Lu will definitely not be ugly, otherwise she will not leave the old house with the reputation of "vinegar jar......
Judging from common sense to genetic reasoning, Fang Fengzhu should at least not be ugly!
And......
"This spring outing, you should be able to meet real people, right?"
After feeling a little more steady, Li Yuanjia immediately thought of the invitation he had just promised. Of course, he didn't think that Fang Yizhi would be interested in inviting him to go on a trip, so after a little thought, he could understand that there must be another person's shadow behind him...... Fang Xianggong shouldn't be so boring, then it should be Mrs. Fang.
And the purpose of this should be for the sake of that Miss Fang?
"Whew!"
With a long breath, Li Yuanjia's heart suddenly pounded violently.
He roughly guessed the other party's thoughts, which was nothing more than letting Fang Fengzhu see him before getting married, and he had a good bottom in his heart. But for Li Yuanjia, why didn't he want to meet his future daughter-in-law in advance to see if she was tall or short, fat or thin, a shy flower or a flower?
After thinking about this, Li Yuanjia's mind quickly shifted to another matter: "Also, what kind of gift should I bring when we meet for the first time?" Anyway, it's my future wife, and it's the first time we've met since we got married, but it's not ...... sloppy."
……
March propylene, afternoon.
"Are all the gifts packed? Is there anything missing? ”
Before getting into the car, Li Yuanjia glanced at his housekeeper and asked casually.
Han Shan hurriedly bowed slightly, and replied loudly: "Don't worry, the king has everything in order, just in the car behind." ”
"Well, that's good."
Nodding with satisfaction, Li Yuanjia stepped on the stool and got into the car, and then ordered lightly: "Let's go, today's banquet is more important, don't be late." ”
"Yes, my lord."
Han Shan naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered the coachman and guards to set off quickly.
Shengye Fang is located in the second square east of the imperial city, which is quite close to the East Palace in the north of the Imperial City.
After getting out of the car at the gate, Li Yuanjia did not look to see if there were any officials from the DPRK and China that he was familiar with, but first raised his eyes and looked inside the gate.
East Palace, the residence of the prince of the Tang Dynasty.
This palace is connected to Daxing Palace in the west, the West Inner Garden in the north, the east wall of the palace city in the east, and the imperial city outside the Jiafu Gate in the south gate. There are more than 20 halls in three gates, the front is the place where the prince Li Chengqian receives activities, and the back is used for residence, which can be said to be the second largest "private residence" in the entire Chang'an City.
However, after glancing at the world behind the door, Li Yuanjia couldn't help but shake his head, and secretly sighed in his heart: "Ominous place, ......"
The East Palace was built in the former Emperor Wen of Sui, and four princes lived in succession, and the first three did not have any good results. When Emperor Wen of Sui, the crown prince Yang Yong was abolished and killed, and although the later crown prince Yang Guang became the emperor, he was not only killed by his courtiers, but even lost the world. Then in the Tang Dynasty, the first prince Li Jiancheng was slaughtered by his younger brother......
Li Shimin also lived in the East Palace, but when he moved in, no one actually regarded him as a prince!
So strictly speaking, Li Chengqian is the fourth prince to live in the East Palace.
However, at present, Li Chengqian is still a good child, and it seems that the position of the crown prince is extremely stable, but Li Yuanjia is the only one in the world who knows that in a few years, when he gradually becomes crazy, he will become the fourth prince to be abolished. In other words, in just fifty years, except for Li Shimin, the first emperor of the ages who lived in the East Palace but was not considered a prince, none of those who lived in it ended well!
So why is this place ominous?
It's just poisonous!
It was with this in mind that Li Yuanjia saw not only palaces at this time, but also fierce beasts crouching one after another, waiting for people to devour with their mouths open......
Thinking of the protagonist of today's banquet, Li Yuanjia couldn't help but sigh again, feeling a little uncomfortable.
What he was sad about was the eldest son of the crown prince Li Chengqian, the newly born imperial grandson Li Xiang, and the eldest grandson of the fourth generation of the Tang royal family. This is the most important newborn in Datang at present, and in this era when inheritance surpasses everything, the birth of the imperial grandson naturally made Li Shimin, who was a grandfather for the first time, very excited. With an order, the emperor held a banquet in the East Palace and invited officials above the fifth rank in the court to drink and eat.
As an uncle and grandfather, Li Yuanjia naturally can't be absent.
That's why he asked Han Shan and them to prepare gifts early, filled a whole carriage, and followed them to the East Palace.
For this newborn child, Li Yuanjia instinctively felt a little distressed.
If it is counted according to generation, he should be regarded as his nephew? So there were some small things carefully prepared by Li Yuanjia in the carriage, just to give the child a little psychological compensation.
It's so pathetic!
Because of his stupid father, Li Xiang, who could have become the fourth emperor of the Tang Dynasty, ended up ...... Although Li Yuanjia didn't know what Li Xiang's ending was, whether he was given death or a good death, he was sure that he would not become an emperor.
And......
Not only is this child's future pitiful, but Sun Peng feels that his present is also pitiful.
Thinking that he had already become an uncle and grandfather when he was just twenty years old, and his nephew and grandson were still Li Xiang, the imperial grandson of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuanjia felt quite delicate in his heart in addition to sighing - the eldest wife of the buddy would have to wait for two or three months to marry in the door, and she would not be able to see her in three days, so she was going to see her grandson today?
