Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Great Water
The turn of the summer and autumn of the seventh year of Zhenguan is also quite special for Li Shimin.
First of all, his eldest daughter Li Lizhen, that is, Princess Changle was married, and she was also married to the eldest grandson's own nephew, that is, the eldest son of the country's important minister, Changsun Wuji.
If you use the exaggerated words of the future, this is a "wedding of the century"!
The woman is Princess Changle, the eldest daughter of the Tang Emperor, and Li Lizhi, who has been favored since childhood; And the man is the eldest son of the Duke of Qi, who has just been awarded the title of Sikong by the emperor, the eldest son of Zongzheng Shaoqing - these two young men and girls are almost the two most honorable young people in this empire!
So this wedding attracted the attention of almost everyone in the court.
And for the marriage of his favorite eldest daughter, Li Shimin even began to prepare the dowry two years in advance. And in order to express his love for his daughter, he also said to his ministers, "Princess Changle, born to the queen, I and the queen are loved." Now it will come out, and the number of courtesies will be increased. ”
To put it bluntly, the prescribed dowry is too small, and the daughter has no face when she marries.
Therefore, as soon as the emperor was willful, he ordered Youji to increase it to twice that of Princess Yongjia when preparing Princess Changle's dowry! You must know that Princess Yongjia is Li Shimin's sister, that is, the eldest aunt, and the emperor will definitely be out of order if he does this. So naturally, Wei Zheng, who was ready to go all the way to the black on the road of Chenchen, stood up and stopped Li Shimin's "absurd" behavior, so that everything was back on track......
In addition to the marriage of the eldest daughter, another thing happened at the end of the summer of this year that made Li Shimin particularly excited, that is, he and his eldest grandson's sixth child, the third daughter, and the emperor's favorite princess Li Mingda in his life, was born.
This newborn girl instantly collected thousands of favors.
Named Jinyang, it is the place where the Tang Dynasty raised troops; The nickname is a rhinoceros-like creature in ancient texts, which carries the blessings of her parents who wish her to be healthy and free from diseases. The word Mingda is a common Buddhist word, expressing Li Shimin's expectation that she will be smart and clever......
For Li Yuanjia, who is far away in Luzhou, the marriage and birth of two nieces did not have any impact.
Because although the eldest niece was only three years younger than him, Li Yuanjia saw her only a handful of times, and he didn't even say a few words; As for the words of the little niece, I have never seen it, but I can often see the name of this girl in the online novels before the crossing, and I know that she will be smart and kind in the future, and she has a gentle temperament.
Of course, if you have to say that there is, maybe it is a pity.
Because Li Yuanjia really remembers the ending of these two children, one died of illness in his early twenties, and the other only lived to be twelve years old, which is distressing when he is young......
"So, what about the Emperor's family?"
After hearing the news from Chang'an, Li Yuanjia couldn't help but sigh and felt sorry for the two little nieces.
O times of all evil!
If it were in the world thousands of years later, even if the two were just born in an ordinary family, Li Lizhen, who was twelve or thirteen years old, would have only graduated from primary school and was happily enjoying the most carefree time in her life. If the love is new, she may taste the sweetness of her first love, of course, it may also be bitter, but she will never be married to her cousin by her parents at this age; And the other newborn Li Mingda, no matter what kind of disease he suffers from, can get treatment that is countless times better than this era, and the chances of living to the age of twenty-two, thirty-two, and even forty-two and fifty-two are very high!
It's a pity......
"Alas!"
Another long sigh expressed Li Yuanjia's sentimentality for the future of these two nieces.
Although he used to be a doctor, Li Yuanjia really didn't know if he would have the opportunity to treat his two nieces in the future; And even if he had the opportunity, he didn't know what he would be able to do without any modern diagnostic equipment and medicines......
"Chunyan, what are you doing standing here stupidly?"
Just when Li Yuanjia was sad there, Han Shan, who had just walked into the small courtyard, saw Chunyan, the maid who should be serving the king, at a glance. It's just that what he saw was not a professional maid standing honestly, ready to listen to orders, or providing services to the king, but a stupid girl staring at the king stupidly, with a look!
"Look at the king in a daze, very handsome...... Belch! ”
As soon as he said a word stupidly, Chunyan immediately woke up from the state of nymphomania, and his little face turned white in an instant - being caught by the housekeeper Han Shan and being discovered by his friends are two concepts, and if he can't say it, he will be trained again!
“……”
After listening to Chunyan's answer, Han Shan was speechless for a moment, and slapped his head with a headache.
This girl is definitely stunned!
Han Shan really can't figure it out, even if his own king is indeed a jade tree in the wind, chic and dignified, but you can't see enough of a personal maid every day? Especially as long as Li Yuanjia stops there, habitually looking up at the sky with his hands behind his back and in a daze, this spring smoke will inevitably be stupid, and there is no exception!
To be honest, Han Shan himself was annoyed because of this reprimanding her every day.
So after the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, Han Shan waved his hand weakly and said, "Okay, it's almost noon, you hurry up and go to the kitchen to see, how is the lunch prepared by Yu Niang for the king...... Hurry down, I'm upset when I see you! ”
“…… Be! ”
Sticking out his little tongue, Chunyan hurriedly left with a happy face.
"Alas!"
Looking at the spring smoke that had just taken a few steps and began to jump and jump, and there was no half of the momentum, Han Shan shook his head and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
No way, he's worried!
A spring smoke and a willow eyebrow are definitely the two most favored maids of the king. Not to mention the usual food and clothing, it is definitely far beyond the level of ordinary maids, and if you just look at the treatment, it is like a young lady from an ordinary eunuch's family. And since more than three years ago, the king has only let the two of them serve closely, and has never replaced the third.
But......
There is one thing that makes Han Shan very distressed, that is, to this day, these two girls are still perfect!
Although the small appearance of the two girls is not overwhelming, they can be carefully selected by the imperial concubine to serve the king, at least it is considered a gift, right? But why was the king never moved?
Isn't it......
"Isn't it...... What's wrong with the king's health? ”
As soon as such a thought came to his mind, Han Shan hurriedly dispelled these things. He still remembered the last time he vaguely mentioned this issue to the king, and the king not only immediately understood the meaning of his words, but also reprimanded Han Shan with a strange face, telling him not to think nonsense or anything......
"Old Han, is there something wrong?"
Just when Han Shan couldn't help but think crankily again, Li Yuanjia, who saw him, pulled him back to reality with a word.
Han Shan hurriedly walked over in small steps, and saluted: "King, Chen Beijia asked to see him, saying that he had just received the news that the thirty states of Shandong and Henan were ......."
