In late autumn, the imperial garden is also golden, and the stone path is also paved with fallen leaves, Li Zhang accompanied his aunt Empress Dowager Li to enjoy the autumn scenery in the garden by stepping on the fallen leaves, chatting casually about some homely things, some time ago Qingzhi took An Ran into the palace to visit the Empress Dowager Li, and the result made her happy, holding An Ran and refusing to let go, it can be seen that she really likes children very much, but unfortunately Zhao Zhen can't give birth now, and the raccoon dog is not married, she can only hold her nephew's daughter to have a good time.

"Zhang'er, Tanuki is not young, I want to recruit a son-in-law for her, I don't know what you think?" At this time, the Empress Dowager Li suddenly changed the topic and said, Tanuki'er's life experience has been made public, and now she is crowned as the eldest princess of Huiguo by Zhao Zhen, but for her daughter's marriage, Empress Dowager Li is also very worried.

"This ......" Li Zhang hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and then spoke, "Aunt doesn't know, in fact, the reason why Tanuki has not been married for a long time is that on the one hand, I don't want her to marry too early, because as far as I know, it is very dangerous for a woman to give birth before the age of eighteen, and it is very likely that she will have a difficult birth, and on the other hand, she has a childhood sweetheart......

"You're talking about the young man surnamed Dou, I heard that you treat him as a younger brother?" didn't wait for Li Zhang to finish speaking, but was interrupted by the Empress Dowager Li.

"It turns out that my aunt knows him, Douzi has been treated as a younger brother by me since he was a child, he and Tanuki also grew up together, and both of them have some good feelings for each other, if it weren't for their young age, maybe I would have let them marry a few years ago." Li Zhang also seemed to see something at this time, and he also opened his mouth to explain.

However, Empress Dowager Li frowned slightly at this time, and only after a while did she speak: "Although you like this bean very much, after all, his background is too low, and he has no family background, Tani Er is a princess, is it a little too aggrieved to marry him?" ”

Hearing that Empress Dowager Li directly made her words clear, Li Zhang also sighed secretly, he was worried that such a thing would happen before, but he still spoke again at this time: "I can understand my aunt's feelings, but I think that instead of letting Tani Er marry an unfamiliar stranger, it is better to let her marry someone she likes, and I also know Douzi's character better than anyone else, and I don't have to worry about the disharmony between husband and wife in the future when Tanuki marries." ”

Empress Dowager Li also showed a silent expression when she heard this, she was very willing to listen to Li Zhang's opinion on other things, but she was really a little worried about the major matters related to the happiness of her daughter's life, she believed in Li Zhang's and Tanuki'er's vision, but the other party's background was a big problem, the princesses of the Great Song Dynasty recruited sons-in-law, most of them were selected from the aristocracy, and orphans like Douzi who had no background were really not worthy of the identity of the princess.

"Aunt, in fact, Douzi also knows that he is from a humble background, when he didn't know that he was a princess, Douzi studied very hard, and gave up the decision to enter the officialdom for this reason, and now he has been admitted to the imperial examination, and he also participated in the imperial examination last year, but because he was young and inexperienced, he failed to pass the examination, but next year is the year of Dabi, and he will participate in the imperial examination at that time. Li Zhang spoke again at this time.

At this time, no matter who can see that Empress Dowager Li dislikes the origin of Douzi, Li Zhang has no choice but to tell the matter of Douzi's participation in the imperial examination, the Great Song Dynasty is more expensive than reading, and the Donghuamen roll call is even more glorious than the victorious general, so if Douzi can really be admitted to the Jinshi, it is reasonable to be recruited as a concubine, of course, the concubine of the Great Song Dynasty is not so easy to do, mainly due to some restrictions in the official career, so the really capable and ambitious people are actually not willing to be a concubine.

"If you win the Jinshi, it can barely be said, but there are so many people who participate in the imperial examination every year, and the number of people who directly win the examination is hundreds, and the few are dozens, can the beans you said really win the examination?" Empress Dowager Li still didn't believe it at this time.

"I can't guarantee whether he can be promoted, but Douzi has studied hard for so many years for the imperial examination, and his academic talent is no worse than anyone else, so I believe that he will definitely have a day of winning the examination!" When Li Zhang said the end, he also showed a determined look on his face.

However, Li Zhang has confidence in the beans, but the Empress Dowager Li has never seen the beans at all, and naturally she will not easily believe in the ability of a stranger, even if there is Li Zhang's guarantee, so I saw her silent for a moment and spoke again: "It is about the lifelong happiness of the raccoon, and the age of the raccoon dog is not young, but for the sake of Zhang'er's face, I can let the raccoon dog wait for another year, if that bean can't be admitted to the Jinshi after a year, then I can't blame others!" ”

"This ......" Li Zhang was also embarrassed when he heard this, and even wanted to intercede for the beans, but when he saw the serious expression of the Empress Dowager Li, he finally swallowed the words back, don't look at the Empress Dowager Li seems to be gentle and virtuous and very talkative, but in fact, she is a person who is soft on the inside and strong on the outside, as long as she believes in something, the nine cows can't pull it back, and it is useless for Li Zhang to say anything.

Thinking of the above, Li Zhang could only nod helplessly, in fact, when the Douzi imperial examination failed last year, Li Zhang didn't care, and even wanted to set up a family affair for Douzi and Tanuki, and Tanuki didn't object, in fact, Tanuki has a deep affection for Douzi, but she is usually protected too well by Li Zhang, so she didn't consider getting married for the time being, but if she really wants to get married, she will definitely choose Douzi.

But then Douzi didn't agree, because he wanted to give Tanuki a decent wedding, and now he has no official position, and he also put down the money business in order to study, so he wanted to try again, and wait until Donghuamen was named before marrying Tanuki, but he didn't expect that Tanuki'er's identity has changed now, as the princess of the Great Song Dynasty, and Zhao Zhen's only half-sister, she is closer than Miaoyuan in terms of blood, which also makes an identity gap between Douzi and Tanuki.

That's all about the raccoon dog and the beans, Empress Dowager Li quickly changed the topic, and chatted with Li Zhang about some family matters, especially asked about Zhao Zhen's body, mainly because Zhao Zhen has countless concubines in the harem, but there is not even a pregnant one, Liu E used to be anxious, and now she is anxious, but it is inconvenient for her to ask Zhao Zhen directly about these words, mainly because she is afraid of hurting his self-esteem, so she can only ask Li Zhang about this.

Li Zhang also explained Zhao Zhen's situation to the Empress Dowager Li in detail, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps from behind, and when the two turned their heads, they didn't expect to see Zhao Zhen running with a look of ecstasy and shouting to them: "Mother, cousin, happy event...... What a happy event! ”
