Chapter 181: Marrying Liangdi

Early the next morning, the East Palace Chengen Hall.

The sun had just reached the treetops, and the light was still a little red.

There were still bright dew drops on the tips of the small grass beside the road.

Li Chengqian walked into the Cheng'en Palace, and saw that the attendants and palace maids who were sweeping in front of the palace were careful not to make a sound, knowing that the crown princess Su had not yet gotten up, so he hurriedly walked in quietly.

As soon as Li Chengqian walked into the main hall, he saw the princess's maid Su'er coming out, and hurriedly asked in a low voice, "Is the princess awake?" How did you get out?"

"See His Royal Highness the Prince, the mother hasn't woken up yet." Su Er hurriedly saluted and said in a low voice.

"Oh!" When Li Chengqian heard this, he quietly walked inside.

Li Chengqian walked to the main seat in the hall and sat down, looked at Su Er, who was following him, and asked in a low voice, "When did the crown princess sleep last night?"

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the Crown Princess slept late last night and fell asleep early, but she didn't fall asleep until she vomited until she was ugly." Su Er said with some distress.

Li Chengqian hurriedly said when he heard this: "Then let the crown princess sleep more and don't wake her up, how about the crown princess eating yesterday?"

"After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left yesterday, Niangniang drank some porridge, ate a few spoonfuls of egg custard and vomited ......"

Su Er was talking when he saw an inner attendant running in in a hurry outside and whispered: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qi, Zhu Nei has come to pass on His Majesty's edict." ”

When Li Chengqian heard this, he thought it was about the political banquet again, so he said angrily: "Let him wait outside." ”

In the past two days, Li Shimin has often made some strange orders in order to hold the unprecedented banquet for the Qiansu Meeting, such as doubling the reward drawn up by Li Chengqian, and asking all those who come to attend the meeting to be exempted from rent for two years......

Several of them were pushed back by Li Chengqian, and if Li Shimin's reward method was followed, it would be a burden on the court to hold a political banquet in the future.

Li Chengqian was about to ask the crown princess about her living situation yesterday, but he saw Zhu Nei squire laughing and walked in, and as soon as he entered the hall, he hurriedly walked in front of Li Chengqian, bent down and saluted, and said excitedly: "Old slave, congratulations to His Royal Highness the Prince, congratulations to His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince......"

"Get out!" Li Chengqian was furious, Huo Di stood up and raised his leg violently to give him a kick, and shouted in a forced voice: "Get out!" ”

Zhu Neishou was kicked in the chest by Li Chengqian's sudden kick, and suddenly became a rolling gourd on the ground.

Li Chengqian looked at him, and a cold light flashed in his eyes and said, "Pull it out!" ”

The old ghost hurriedly led a few chamberlains to step forward and pull Zhu Neishou out.

Before Zhu Nei was pulled out, Li Chengqian heard a palace maid in the room calling Su Er and saying that the crown princess had woken up and asked Su Er to go in.

When Li Chengqian heard this, he walked in first, and after taking two steps, he felt that he was walking too slowly, so he hurriedly avoided the road and let Su Er go in first.

When Li Chengqian walked in, the crown princess was already dressed and got up, and when she saw Li Chengqian coming in, she hurriedly saluted and said, "The concubine has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Li Chengqian hurriedly stepped forward to support her and said, "Concubine Ai doesn't have to be polite. ”

The crown princess looked at Li Chengqian, and said with a smile on her face: "The concubines have been sleeping a lot during the day recently, so they didn't sleep at night, and they woke up just now and thought that His Highness had a lot of things to do, so I didn't let them say anything." ”

Li Chengqian knew that the crown princess wanted to say good things for Zhu Nei, so he patted her hand and said: "This lonely king surnamed Zhu has long wanted to die and doesn't care about the concubine. ”

The crown princess knew that Li Chengqian's temper had changed a lot recently, and she rarely punished the people around her, let alone beat people with her own hands.

"Your Highness has been busy with state affairs these days and has come to see the concubines every day, it must have been very hard for them to prepare red dates and yam porridge for the concubines, Your Highness will use a little here first."

Li Chengqian nodded when he heard the words and helped Su Shi sit down, Su Er hurriedly ran out to spread the word, but he collided with the old ghost in his arms.

Li Chengqian saw his sinking face and asked, "What's the matter like this?"

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Your Majestyβ€”uhβ€”" The old ghost said and glanced at the Crown Princess, calming down his emotions and said, "Your Majesty has decreed that Miss Wang will be made a good lady for you." ”

These things had long been expected by Li Chengqian, because he deliberately said: "What a big deal! ”

"Of course it's a big deal, go to the palace and summon the princesses and princesses of the various provinces in Chang'an City to come to the East Palace in the afternoon." The crown princess stood up excitedly and said loudly.

Li Chengqian hurriedly got up and stopped her and said, "Hey, you've been happy these days, what are you doing with all these things?" Just let the old ghost arrange for someone to bring it in. ”

The palace maid who was going to pass the word didn't know what to do for a while, but the princess saw it and shouted: "Go!" ”

Seeing the palace maid walking out, the crown princess turned around and took Li Chengqian's hand and said: "It's been a few years, Your Highness has finally taken a fancy to someone, Your Majesty has personally named Liangdi, and the concubine is happy for His Royal Highness, and then this Liangdi's mother's family was born in the Taiyuan Wang family's maternal grandfather's family was born in the Hedong Liu family, and she still has to give enough face." Seeing what Li Chengqian wanted to say, he hurriedly said, "Your Highness, don't worry, the concubine is not the one who can't be tolerated, and the concubine knows that only His Royal Highness's good concubines and Xiang'er and Ji'er can be better." ”

Li Chengqian was completely speechless when he said this, so he could only shake her hand hard and go out.

Li Chengqian returned to the Lizheng Hall from the Cheng'en Palace, and saw Li Daozong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, waiting for him in the hall, and hurriedly walked a few steps forward and said, "Uncle Jiangxia is here!" ”

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Li Daozong respectfully saluted Li Chengqian.

"Why did Uncle Wang come to see King Gu so early?" Li Chengqian said tentatively, although Li Daozong has always been at odds with the eldest grandson Wuji, and this time he was also busy in the process of toppling the eldest grandson Wuji, but it was the first time that the general who led the troops took the initiative to see him.

In history, Li Daozong, like Li Ke, the king of Wu, was defiled by the eldest grandson Wuji and died in exile for participating in the rebellion of the house's widow.

"I heard the princess say that the crown princess is happy again?" Li Daozong said with a smile.

Li Chengqian didn't know what he was doing when he asked this, so he said truthfully: "Yes, I haven't eaten well or slept well in the past few days, and Gu Wang just went to see it." ”

Hearing this, Li Daozong hurriedly got up and clasped his fists and saluted: "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Prince." Li Chengqian hurriedly raised his hand and motioned for him to sit down.

Li Daozong sat down and continued: "I heard just now that His Majesty issued a decree to set up a good position for His Royal Highness the Prince, Uncle Wang is going to drink your wedding wine." ”

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Uncle Wang should be invited!" ”

Li Daozong smiled when he heard this: "This wine is not drunk in vain, at this time, the crown princess is not happy and can't work, and the matter of Liliangdi will be handled by the Ministry of Rites on behalf of the East Palace!" ”

What does that mean?

Li Chengqian looked at Li Daozong suspiciously.

"Your Majesty means that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's dinner Na Liangdi's dinner will be set up together with the final closing dinner of tomorrow's Qiansu political banquet." Li Daozong saw Li Chengqian's doubts and did not dare to sell Guanzi again.

Li Chengqian frowned when he heard this: "Wouldn't it be too ostentatious?"

Although the prince of the East Palace, Liang Dijue, is more than the Marquis of Guannei, but in the final analysis, she is the prince's little wife, and there is really no need to be so ostentatious when marrying a little wife, if Wang Yedan's mother is born with undeserved thoughts, it will be troublesome.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, rest assured, Your Majesty has His Majesty's reasons for doing this." Li Daozong explained to Li Chengqian again, in fact, he was also hinting at Li Chengqian, Li Shimin's change of attitude towards him.

Li Chengqian thought about it and knew that this was Li Shimin's kindness, so he got up and arched his hand at Li Daozong and said, "Then there is Uncle Lao!" ”

"Haha, it's easy to say!" Li Daozong was very happy to see Li Chengqian's confession, and asked Li Chengqian what he thought before leaving.

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Chengqian knew that Li Shimin had summoned a few generals in the Ganlu Hall last night, and although Qiu Shenji could not find out the inside story, Li Chengqian guessed that it must be related to him, and from the current point of view, the result was also favorable to him.

So from that day on, the East Palace and the Ministry of Rites were not only busy holding a political banquet for thousands of people, but also preparing for Li Chengqian's Naliangdi, so that the entire East Palace was so busy that their feet did not touch the ground.

But even if he is busy and tired, because everyone knows that Li Shimin has changed his attitude towards Li Chengqian again, everyone still has joy on their faces. Not only did no one complain about being tired, but one by one they worked hard and tried their best to get this matter done.

On the second day, even the people who came to attend the Qiansu political banquet knew that 'His Royal Highness the benevolent prince wants to accept Liangdi', and they were very happy.

At dusk, the huge East Palace welcoming team ceremoniously carried Wang Yedan back to the East Palace from Princess Tong'an's mansion, and saluted in the Yichun Palace prepared for her, Li Chengqian told her a few words and let her rest in the Yichun Palace first, and Li Chengqian wanted to go to the Jiade Hall in front to attend the dinner hosted by Li Shimin himself.
