"Your Highness, the congratulatory gifts prepared for Her Royal Highness Princess Changning are all on this list, Your Highness will see if it is appropriate?"

Li Ye took the gift list and looked at it carefully, very seriously, and the two daughters Liu Chenyan and Sun Mei next to him also did not disturb each other.

It has been more than a year since they married Li Ye, and now they are pregnant with each other's children.

In their eyes, Li Ye attaches great importance to family affection. Of course, the relationship with the two brothers Li Yi and Li Bao is average, but he attaches great importance to his sister Princess Changning and his brother Mu Wang Li Yi.

Li Yi, the king of Mu, was not in good health, and when he passed by Xingyuan Mansion on his way back to Chang'an, Li Ye prepared a lot of precious medicinal materials for him to take back. Not to mention Princess Changning, the eldest sister is like a mother, Li Ye and Li Yi have lost their mothers since they were children, and Li Yi, the father, also doesn't pay much attention to these children, so many times it is Princess Changning, the sister, who takes Li Ye and the two.

Although Princess Changning's marriage was in a hurry, after the wedding date was determined, Li Ye asked people to congratulate him, and prepared more than a dozen cars of congratulatory gifts, such as gold, silver, jewelry, agate, coral, etc., and countless other gifts.

Seeing the congratulatory gift prepared by Li Ye, Liu Chenyan and the daughters were a little surprised.

However, the girls can also understand, so they also follow Zhang Luo.

In half a month, the wedding will take place, and these congratulatory gifts must be delivered to the princess's mansion in Chang'an on the wedding day.

Li Ye couldn't go to this wedding, or he didn't dare to go.

At this time, he left Shannan West Road to go to Chang'an, which was tantamount to a sheep entering the tiger's mouth, and Li Yi and Tian Lingzi could clean him up as much as they wanted.

Originally, if he didn't go, he would at least have to send Liu Chenyan, the princess of Shou, and then Sun Mei and Li Xianglan, the two widows, would go to one.

However, all three daughters are pregnant. Liu Chenyan and Sun Mei are only two or three months away from giving birth, and they have big bellies and can't go out at all; Li Xianglan was only diagnosed as pregnant last month, and now it has been three months, and it is inconvenient to go far away.

Although some of the other women are not pregnant, their status is low, and it is not suitable to go.

In the end, Li Ye chose Li Yingxu to go to Chang'an on his behalf.

This time to Chang'an, Li Yingxu has three tasks.

First, naturally he attended the wedding of Princess Changning and sent Li Ye a congratulatory gift.

Second, lay a good foundation for Li Ye to return to Chang'an later, and go to Chang'an to show the existence of Shouwangfu.

Third, this task is only incidental, which is to repair the Shouwang Mansion in Chang'an.

Li Ye has no impression of Chang'an's Shouwang Mansion, the only impression is the memory of being taken away by Zhang Wei from Shouwang Mansion that day, and Li Ye has no feelings for the familiar and unfamiliar palace.

However, this does not mean that he will let it be abandoned, although he will not return to Chang'an for the time being, but the palace of Chang'an still has to be repaired, otherwise where will he go back to live in the future?

"Add a hundred war horses, and this money will be increased to 50,000 yuan. Now the life of the imperial court is not good, Liu Kui's own income is not high, and it is not easy to feed the huge princess mansion.

There is also a purchase of thousands of acres of fertile land outside Chang'an City for the imperial sister, which can be regarded as a stable source of income. ”

Before the Song Dynasty, the status of the horse was not high, and the horse marrying the princess was actually not much different from entering the princess, so the child could follow the surname of the horse.

Especially in the Tang Dynasty, the concubines were basically princesses, and even when the princess was in her husband's house, her in-laws had to perform princess salutes.

Therefore, what later generations concluded was, "The princess wants to be from the Tang Dynasty, and the concubine wants to be from the Qing Dynasty", which can be seen!

Therefore, after getting married, the house of Liu Kui and Princess Changning will also be called 'Princess Changning's Mansion', not 'Liu's Mansion'.

Now Liu Kui is the commander of the Shence Army, and there are 3,000 people below. However, the Shence Army is Tian Lingzi's territory, and Liu Kui can only recruit troops by himself, and in terms of weapons and horses, he must be much worse than Tian Lingzi's cronies.

Therefore, Li Ye will take the war horse as an important congratulatory gift, so that Liu Kui's situation will be better.

After Li Ye finally revised the gift list, he handed it to Xiaoying and asked her to show her up.

"I have to leave tomorrow, and I have to rush to the royal sister's wedding to deliver these congratulatory gifts."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Li Ye hasn't changed much, so the bad ones can be prepared today, and naturally they can't delay tomorrow's trip.

Originally, it stands to reason that he should have attended in person. Because he couldn't go, he prepared a lot at the congratulatory gift, which can be regarded as making up for the guilt that he couldn't go in person.

"Your Highness, is there going to be a war recently?"

After Xiaoying left, Liu Chenyan couldn't help but ask.

Li Ye raised his head, a little surprised, Liu Chenyan hurriedly explained, "It's just that the concubine recently saw the Shenji Battalion go to Lizhou." The Shenji Battalion is a unit built by His Royal Highness with a lot of money, and this time he went to Lizhou, and the concubine thought that there was a war, so His Royal Highness would transfer it to Lizhou. ”

"There is indeed war. But when you and Mei'er are about to give birth, this king will definitely rush back. ”

Li Ye knew what the other party was worried about, although Sun Mei didn't ask, but after hearing his words, she also stopped what she was doing.

Li Ye gently stroked the bulging abdomen of the two of them, feeling the life inside, Li Ye couldn't help but be a little stunned.

"I want to... Daddy? Li Ye muttered.

My age, in my previous life, I am afraid that I will only go to college, but I am about to become a father here, and it is a little shocking to think about it.

However, in the Tang Dynasty, this was not an uncommon thing, there were fathers at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and his age was normal.

Liu Chenyan has to get pregnant first, and Sun Mei's has to be late. He is still just a prince now, if he were the emperor, I am afraid that the two daughters would have quarreled a long time ago, and then beware of each other.

In fact, Li Ye's palace is not as harmonious as imagined.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are fights. Sometimes Li Ye thinks about harem harmony, but that's just an illusion, if he wants to get to that point, at least he doesn't have that confidence.

So many times, Li Ye can only think about the good, so as not to let himself fall into pessimism.

Seeing Li Ye there in a daze, Liu Chenyan and Sun Mei's second daughter didn't know what was going on, but sat quietly on the side. The two looked at each other and smiled, but this smile was no longer pure, as the first and second pregnant, the child in the womb determined the status of the two in the palace in the future.

The friendship of the past, after all, was once, and now the two cannot be as close as before.

。。。。。。

On the tenth day of the fifth month of the fifth year of Zhonghe, it is advisable to marry.

In the past, the wedding of the prince or princess was undoubtedly a very lively day in Chang'an City, and it was not an exaggeration to celebrate the whole world. The most profound impact on the old man of Chang'an City was undoubtedly the marriage of Princess Tongchang, which almost emptied the treasury, and you can imagine the luxury and huge scale of that wedding.

Now that the treasury is empty, and Liu Kui, who is a concubine, is not a child of a big family, the scale of this wedding is naturally not large, and even Li Yi did not plan to participate.

But after all, it was the princess who got married, and Tian Lingzi deliberately attracted everyone's attention to Princess Changning's wedding in order to cover up some things.

Now the relationship between Tian Lingzi and Wang Chongrong is getting worse and worse, after Wang Chongrong refused to obey the edict, Tian Lingzi directly ordered Wang Chongrong to be transferred to Yanhai Jiedu envoy, and Wang Chucun to be appointed as the envoy of Hezhong Jiedu. In order to ensure that Wang Chongrong honestly obeyed the will of the imperial court, Tian Lingzi also issued an order in the name of the imperial court to let Li Keyong lead the army to the river, and if Wang Chongrong did not obey the order, he would attack Wang Chongrong by force.

So at this time, Princess Changning's wedding is more like covering up the tension of the situation.

Although Li Yi did not come, Tian Lingzi came. In addition, Li Bao, the king of Ji, and other princes have sent congratulatory gifts, and now that the royal family is in decline, if even the people in the royal family do not support each other at the same time, wouldn't it be a joke?

Therefore, this wedding can be said to be a gathering of clans, and the high-ranking ones are Li Zhirou, King Xue, and Li Ti, King Peng.

Among them, Li Zhirou's seniority is the highest, and the seniority of this heir Xue Wang is not ordinarily high.

He is the great-great-grandson of Tang Ruizong Li Dan, that is to say, the generation of this heir Xue Wang is the same generation as Dezong Li Shi. And who is Li Shi from Li Yi? To be precise, it was the grandfather of his grandfather Li Chen.

The generations in this can be imagined. So after returning to Chang'an, Zongzheng Siqing's position naturally fell to the other party, this generation, even if Li Yi saw him, he had to be polite.

The prince, who was extremely important in the royal family, attended the wedding, and most of the other clans came in person.

Seeing the princess getting married, except for their clans, the other ministers didn't come much, and Emperor Li Yi didn't care, which made these clans also a little desolate.

"Li Bao has seen King Xue."

No matter what, Princess Changning is also Li Bao's royal sister. He is in Chang'an again, and if he doesn't attend the other party's wedding, he can't say it.

"It's King Ji!" Seeing Li Bao, the white-haired Li Zhirou brushed her beard, smiled lightly, and nodded slightly, "Changning is your imperial sister after all, and it means that you can come, which means that it is not bad." It's not like some people who are close and don't come to participate, which is really chilling. ”

"King Xue is talking about the seventh child? Lao Qi is now serving as the envoy of Shannan West Road, and things are busy, so it's normal to not come. Li Bao was deliberately stunned for a moment and explained.

Li Bao knew that the King Xue in front of him was not talking about Li Ye, but Li Yi. But Li Yi is the emperor, and there are many people here, if he says bad things about Li Yu and is passed on to the other party, can he have a good life?

So he pointed the finger at Li Ye, the seventh emperor brother.

For Li Ye, he is also envious, jealous and hateful, but fortunately, the other party's reputation in the court is very bad, and he relaxes a lot. However, in front of these highly respected clans in front of him, he naturally had to earn performance.

"You said King Shou. This little guy didn't do it upright, his sister got married, and he didn't even come back. But he still has a heart and has sent a lot of congratulatory gifts, otherwise this king must ask the other party what he is thinking. Li Zhirou said angrily.

Don't look at Li Zhirou's tone is not good, but her face is not angry.

It's not that he favors Li Ye, he also saw Li Ye when he was a child. Later, the Huangchao rebellion, he also lived in exile, and did not return to Chang'an until Chang'an was recovered, and he has not seen Li Ye in recent years.

For Li Ye, he had only heard about some of the other party's deeds, but he didn't know about it, so naturally there would be no one who could favor the other party.

It's just that there is talk about Li Ye between the clans, after all, the relationship between the other party and Li Yi was stiff before, and the accompanying clans all knew about it, and the kings were also curious. I was guessing if it was because of that incident that King Shou was angry and didn't come to Chang'an.
