Chapter 152: No Poison No Husband (1)
"Your Majesty has a decree to meet Li Xian, King of Xuanzhou, Li Xulun, King of Yin, and Princess Qianyuan of Taiping."
Li Xian and the others arrived in front of the Luoyang Palace, and soon after handing over the sign, the eunuch Gao Hesheng led the two little eunuchs out of the palace gate in a hurry, and procrastinated the oracle of Gaozong.
"Sons and other leaders are grateful."
Although it was just an oral message, Li Xian and Li Xulun still thanked them meticulously in accordance with the rules of receiving the holy decree, but Princess Taiping didn't care so much, and without waiting for Li Xian to stand up straight, the little bird leaned on Li Xian's arm like a human, and said impatiently: "Seventh brother, hurry, go, go into the palace to see my father and mother." ”
This girl is really spoiled! Li Xian glanced at Princess Taiping who was hanging on his arm like a gourd, and smiled helplessly, but he couldn't do anything about this pampered and arrogant little girl, he really couldn't understand why the little girl in Taiping was so sticky to himself, so he simply ignored it and let it twist around on his arm, nodded at Gao Hesheng with an apologetic face and said, "There is Lao Gao's father-in-law." ”
"Don't dare, Your Highness, please."
Gao Hesheng obviously didn't understand why Xiao Taiping, who had always been naughty, was so close to Li Xian, and when he saw Xiao Taiping hanging on Li Xian like a naughty monkey, he felt funny, but in front of these masters, how dare Gao Hesheng be presumptuous, so he could only hold back his smile and make a gesture of "please".
"It's so long-winded, let's go, let's go."
Xiao Taiping glanced at Gao Hesheng dissatisfiedly, pouted angrily, and didn't care whether Li Xian was annoyed or not, he grabbed Li Xian's arm and rushed into the palace gate, chattering all the way like a little magpie, so noisy that Li Xian's head was about to explode, but there was no way, he could only smile bitterly perfunctory, fortunately, he walked through the Xuanwu Gate, next to the internal forbidden, not too far from the Qianyuan Palace, and it was even in the past to endure it.
"The sons and daughters meet their fathers and the queen mother."
As soon as the party entered the Qianyuan Palace, he saw that Gaozong and Empress Wu were sitting side by side on the front pier, Li Xian did not dare to slack off, shook his hand lightly, broke free from the pull of Princess Taiping, hurriedly rushed forward, and bowed respectfully.
"Xian'er is here, good, good, come, hurry up, calm down."
As soon as he saw that Li Xianren had arrived, Gaozong's pale face instantly swelled up with a cloud of redness, and he stood up from the Hu bed excitedly, raised his hand, and got up one after another.
"Son-in-law, thank your father, Emperor Longen."
Feeling Gaozong's excitement, Rao is Li Xian was calm and calm, but he couldn't help but moisten his eyes, choked up and thanked him, slowly stood up, and looked at Gaozong with excitement.
"Xian'er has grown up, Mei Niang, you see, this child hasn't seen him for a few years, and he is already a proud man, okay, okay."
Gaozong already loved his sons very much, and when he saw that Li Xian was tall and strong, full of masculinity, and he was 120,000 points of affection, he looked at Li Xian with a smile for a while, and then turned his face sideways, and said to the calm Empress Wu with a smile.
"Yes, it's a blessing to have this beautiful child." Gao Zongfang had already turned around, and Empress Wu's face immediately showed a pleased smile, and after echoing a sentence, he suddenly changed his voice and said: "Your Majesty, Xian'er is already old, it's time to get married, the so-called day is better than hitting the day, taking advantage of the festive energy of Xian'er's first arrival, why don't you make a double happiness?" ”
"Okay, good, Mei Niang's words are very agreeable, so let's do it!" Gaozong has always been afraid of the inside, and rarely dares to refute the words of Empress Wu, moreover, in Gaozong's view, it is a good thing to marry Li Xian, and he will not object, so he smiled and made a conclusion.
"Your Majesty, there are three suitable candidates now, all of whom can be a good match, and please make a decision." When Empress Wu saw that Gaozong had agreed to the invitation, the smile on her face immediately became a little brighter, and she said a word very gently.
"Ah, it's better for the queen to make up her mind about this matter, and I'll be sure." Gaozong was very interested, but he didn't care about choosing a daughter-in-law, so he simply pushed the responsibility to Empress Wu.
"Your Majesty's trust and concubine are grateful, but this matter is important, if the candidate is bad, wouldn't it be a mistake in Xian'er's life, and the concubine really doesn't dare to make decisions without permission." Empress Wu did not immediately agree, but wanted to excuse himself.
"It's okay, Mei Niang's vision is trustworthy, so it's decided." Gaozong laughed and waved his hand, and made a conclusion in a heroic manner.
"Well, since it is entrusted by His Majesty, the concubine will do her best." Empress Wu didn't shirk this time, nodded with a smile and agreed, and then, pretending to think for a moment, then continued: "Your Majesty, the three candidates are all carefully selected by the inner chamberlain, and their family background and appearance are not bad, but according to the concubine's body, Ping'er, the second queen of the living Lang Wang Chengjia, is generous, quite graceful and wealthy, and her body is also strong, and she has the appearance of a suitable man, so why not settle on this woman?" ”
"Okay, Mei Niang thinks it's good, I have no objection." Gaozong was originally a person who had no idea, since Empress Wu said so, he had no courtesy, and agreed quickly, but as soon as the words came out, he felt a little unsure, so he turned around and looked at Li Xiandao: "Does Xian'er have any opinion on this?" ”
Opinion? The opinion is big, Li Xian has the heart to kill people at this time - as soon as he learned the news of the candidate, Li Xian had already ordered Luoyang's henchmen to carry out a thorough investigation, and he had already understood the foundation of the three families and the appearance of the three daughters clearly, and he knew what kind of person Wang Ping'er was, and the Empress Wu said that his body was strong, which was a good reputation, and it was not good to say, that was a fat pig, as for his temperament, it was even more spicy to the extreme, it was really a superb garbage, and he really wanted to marry home, not to mention the rest, It's just that you have to be disgusted half to death when you look at it!
It is true that the marriage of politicians is generally a means rather than an end, especially the marriage of princes and princesses, which Li Xian has naturally been mentally prepared for a long time, but no matter what, Li Xian can't find a salt-free home, and he seems to be saltless, but he doesn't have the ability to be saltless, not to mention that Wang Cheng's family is just a dog raised by the Empress Wu, and marrying such a master, not only can he not borrow the power of his in-laws, but he has to carefully mention that this in-laws are behind his back. No matter how uncomfortable you are, it's not such a way to find it.
Oppose? Does it work? Obviously useless, on such a major matter, Li Xian has no right to speak, not to mention that since Empress Wu dared to put forward such a disgusting suggestion at this time, he naturally dug a pit, and waited for Li Xian to jump down by himself, if nothing else, as long as Li Xian dared to oppose on the spot, the next move was enough to make Li Xian take off a few layers of skin, how could Li Xian drill such an obvious trap.
"Back to the words of my father, the ancients had a saying: marrying a wife should be to serve their parents, and it is a great honor for a son to be able to choose a wife with the help of his mother, how can it be meaningful." Li Xian is a very deep person in the city, even though his heart is burning with anger, but his face is flattered, and he is excited to thank him.
"Oh, oh, the seventh brother wants to marry a daughter-in-law!"
As soon as Li Xian's words fell, Princess Taiping, who had already run to the front pier alone, immediately jumped up, her small slap sounded, and her little face was smiling like a flower.
"Oh? Hahaha......" Seeing that Princess Taiping was so excited, Gaozong couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand, stroked Princess Taiping's hair lovingly, and teased with interest: "Yueyue, why don't you find you a mother-in-law?" ”
"No, no, people don't want it, my father is bad, my mother, you see, my father is bullying people again." Princess Taiping actually didn't know what the so-called in-laws meant, but when she saw Gaozong laughing badly, she naturally knew that this was not a good word, so she immediately pouted, twisted her small body, and got into the arms of the Empress Wu.
"Your Majesty, Xian'er should have worked hard all the way, and the matter has been decided, so can I come here first today?"
Empress Wu obviously didn't expect Li Xian to be so easy to speak, seeing that the arranged back hand was useless, she didn't want Li Xian to be intimate with Gaozong more, so she said a word.
"Well, Mei Niang didn't say that I forgot, Xian'er will rest in the past few days, and in a few days, I will give you the will to settle this marriage." When Gaozong heard Empress Wu's words, he also felt reasonable, so he smiled and waved his hand, signaling Li Xian to retire.
"Thank you to my father and mother for their love, and my son has retired."
Li Xian had something in his heart, and he didn't want to stay any longer, so he took advantage of the situation to ask for his resignation, turned around, pushed out the main hall, and went straight to the outside of the palace.
"Seventh brother, go slowly, wait for the little brother."
Just as Li Xian was leaving the palace gate, Li Xulun's shouting came from behind.
"Eighth brother, is there something wrong?"
Li Xian was in a hurry to go back to the house to arrange relevant plans at this time, and he didn't want to make more trouble, but he didn't want to ignore Li Xulun's shout, his brows furrowed slightly, but he still stood still, and when he turned around, he was already full of smiles like a spring breeze, and asked kindly.
"Seventh brother, that daughter of the Wang family, well, that woman is really that, that ...... Ah, the starling brother should go and see it in person, if it is not satisfactory, the father can let the little sister say, the little brother, the little brother is also willing to help the seventh brother. Li Xulun panted and ran to the front, blushing, plucking up his courage, and hissing and recounting.
"Eighth brother Lao is bothered, for my brother to believe in the vision of the queen mother, hehe, in a few days, when the good things for my brother come, the eighth brother will also invite you to drink a few more bottles of wine for your brother's house?" Li Xian didn't dare to believe Li Xulun's kindness, so he laughed softly and replied lightly.
"Seventh brother, ...... you" Li Xulun saw that Li Xian didn't listen to his own words in his heart, his face couldn't help but turn white, and he was about to say more, but he didn't know what to say for a while, so he was stunned on the spot.
"The eighth brother stays and takes the lead for his brother."
Li Xianshi didn't plan to get close to Li Xulun at such a sensitive time, so he nodded with a smile, and didn't give Li Xulun a chance to speak again......
