CHAPTER XVI

After checking the box and making sure that all kinds of records were there, Li Yuanjia did not look closely.

In fact, he doesn't have to look at it at all to know that those data can't look good - his own sister can marry Cheng Chuliang at the age of ten, dare the people? And whether it is the royal family or the ordinary aristocracy, they more or less know that when a woman's body is not completely grown, it is dangerous to have a child, how many ordinary people care about this?

Not to mention that there are no contraceptive measures these days, and when it gets dark, isn't it just to create a villain?

Therefore, from the various data sent by Li Lingkui last year, he already knew the results, and it is impossible for more statistics this year to change this situation. And Li Yuanjia also knows that this phenomenon will continue for thousands of years!

It's the same in both the East and the West.

In the future, the same is true in Europe and the United States, not only because they have children too early, but also because they have more children and have a great impact on life expectancy. Therefore, many people think that the development of contraceptive technology is a great progress in the liberation of women, and this statement is really not unreasonable......

Far from it.

After being busy, Li Yuanjia fell asleep early.

I don't know how long it took, but a familiar voice sounded in his ears: "King, King, it's time to get up!" The king, the king......"

Then when Li Yuanjia was called up by Fang Fengzhu in a daze, he looked outside the window with glass, and subconsciously frowned: "Fengzhu, what time is it?" ”

"No, there's still more than an hour."

While beckoning Chunyan and them to come up, Fang Fengzhu chuckled and said, "But if you are full, the time is not enough...... It will take time to get to the palace, so the king can't lie in bed. ”

"Uh......"

His eyelids jumped, and Li Yuanjia immediately sobered up.

That's right, today is Yuan Zhengri.

Li Yuanjia, who usually went to the early dynasty, could not go, this was specially approved by the emperor...... Perhaps this is the emperor's punishment in the eyes of others, but those in the know know that this is the unique favor of King Han.

But today is different, if the Yuan Dynasty does not go, Li Lao Er will beat people.

Although the author of this poem has not yet been born, he vividly describes the situation of the Tang Dynasty Yuan Day Meeting. There is also another line of his poem, "A colorful glow welcomes the dawn, and ten thousand red candles move the spring", which illustrates the importance of the Yuan-Ri Dynasty meeting - the officials have been waiting in line according to their grades at dawn, and the candle-lit honor guard is known as the "Fire City".

At dawn, the officials had to line up in the Daxing Palace, and Li Yuanjia, as the prince, had to stand in the front row, and he definitely couldn't be late.

So after a stirring, Li Yuanjia got up from the bed.

And the maids who had been prepared a long time ago naturally rushed up, some washed Li Yuanjia's face, some combed his hair, and the rest prepared their clothes and shoes, waiting to put them on him.

Anyway, for the current Li Yuanjia, he is used to it.

Let's not talk about whether it will make people feel weird if you have to do everything yourself, but after getting used to this kind of service, it is not easy to return to the state of everything you used to do by yourself. After all, the phrase "it is easy to go from thrift to luxury", and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, was common in that era.

So just standing and enjoying the service of a few people, Li Yuanjia didn't feel uneasy.

Just get used to it.

Although the clothes of the ancients were not much cloth and had fewer colors, they were not simple at all, especially the costumes of the nobles and scholars were quite complicated. As for Li Yuanjia, who has reached the level of a prince, it is just a simple thing to wear on weekdays, and it doesn't take much time, but on a big day like the Yuanri Dynasty, that dress is put on......

Fang Fengzhu did it himself, and he was stunned that it would take a long time for him to wear a stick of incense!

Then, of course, it's time for breakfast.

Fang Fengzhu and the others were nervous one by one, for fear of delaying today's court meeting, but Li Yuanjia, who participated in the Yuan Ri court meeting last year, knew that if he didn't eat enough in advance and then go, he would suffer this morning.

The ceremony of the Yuanri Dynasty Meeting, it was really smelly and long!

According to the regulations of the Tang Dynasty Rite Department, the Yuan Dynasty will be held in the Daxing Palace, except for the civil and military officials...... In addition to the bigwigs in the court, the palace also has to furnish ceremonial music, treasures and jades of the past dynasties, and cars, and do their best to look big and solemn. Moreover, when the emperor was crowned, the crown prince, the empress, the hundred officials, the envoys of the court, and the relatives of the emperor all wore grand court clothes to participate together.

That momentum is rarely seen in normal times.

And in this process, the crown prince Li Chengqian, the prince, and the princes should present congratulatory gifts, the Zhongshu order should play the local congratulatory table, and the Huangmen squire should play auspicious signs...... It's all kinds of strange auspiciousness and the like; The Household Department Shangshu should play the contributions of the states, and the Ministry of Rites should play the contributions of the Zhufan......

The bigwigs showed their faces one by one, and the gifts were offered in piles.

Otherwise, when the Chinese New Year is approaching, why would the assassins in all states of the world send their subordinates back to Chang'an? To put it bluntly, in addition to giving gifts to the emperor, it is necessary to take this opportunity to show loyalty!

How long does it take to just read it once?

If he didn't eat and drink enough, Li Yuanjia didn't think that he could survive until the emperor's banquet. So although it was still dark outside, the breakfast carefully prepared by Yu Niang still made him appetite, and he ate a drawer of xiaolongbao and drank two bowls of porridge.

When the time was about to begin, Li Yuanjia was ready to go.

"Well, are you ready?"

Before going out, he glanced at Fang Fengzhu, who was explaining things to the people not far away, and Li Yuanjia suddenly asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, the king is ready!"

Bowing slightly, Han Lucheng also said in a low voice: "According to your instructions, only one side was prepared and placed in a small box alone...... Are you sure you don't want to put it on your list, my lord? ”

When he said this, Han Lucheng was a little apprehensive.

It is a common practice to "pay tribute" to the emperor at the Yuan Dynasty meeting, and Li Yuanjia, who is naturally a younger brother, is no exception, and under normal circumstances, certain regulations must be followed...... Of course, the emperor still needs to give back some things, and basically he will not lose. It's just that normally, the offerings are all put into the gift list.

But this time, the king had to take it personally, which made Han Lucheng a little uneasy.

"Hehe, don't worry."

Seeing Han Lucheng's expression, Li Yuanjia knew what he was thinking, waved his hand and said with a smile: "If you put it in the gift list, Your Majesty probably won't even look at it, where is it better than me personally sending it?" Don't think about it so much...... By the way, have someone prepare the other side for me, and I'll use it when I get back......"
