Chapter 923: Tribute Beauty
After the banquet in Yanying Palace, in the evening of the same day, convened by Emperor Taishang, the royal family held a royal family banquet in Yong'an Palace.
This time, the royal crowd is here.
The Emperor and the Queen Mother sat there, looking at the neat family, smiling very happily.
Luo Cheng's six brothers, five sisters, then a group of daughters-in-law and sons-in-law, and then those grandchildren and granddaughters of the younger generation on both sides, there were more than 100 people together.
A large group of children is even more lively and lively.
Everyone was very happy, but Heiye was always depressed.
Today, for everyone, it is a day of family reunion, but there is only the heir, but it is alone.
Emperor Luo Gui came over and patted the third son on the shoulder, "The past is over, you have to look forward." Didn't your brother choose four women from the Yang family and the Li family to give to you? ”
In order to comfort the heir who was killed by Li Yuan's wife and daughter, Luo Cheng previously issued a special decree to select two unmarried women from the Sui Yang clan, and selected Li Yuan's two daughters to give to the heir, so that they could give the heir as concubines.
It's just that after the people sent it over, the heirs never touched it.
"Are you dissatisfied with the women of Yang and Li's family? Father will pick another big family for you, do you want to be a Guanlong noble, or a Shandong scholar? Or is it the Jiangnan Chinese family, the eyes of the five surnames and seven sects? ”
Si Ye held a glass of wine and shook his head.
"I'm not in the mood right now."
His relationship with the princess is still good, although he later chose to follow his brother to rebel, but his wife did not break with him because of this, but who would have expected that such a good wife and such a lovely pair of children would be poisoned by Li Yuan.
Luo Cheng came over with a wine glass.
"Heiye, we also know your feelings, but after so long, you can't always be single, you have to remarry, and you have to have children. Cui Mingan of the second room of the Boling Cui family is now a waiter of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he has a woman of appropriate age, twenty-eight years old, I heard that she looks dignified, and knows how to be a good match, I will be a matchmaker for you tomorrow, and propose to Cui Mingan for you. ”
Siye shook his head.
"I'm not in the mood right now."
As a result, the father slapped his son on the back of the head, "What nonsense, I know that you have a deep relationship with the Yang family, but you should also keep this feeling in your heart, instead of dying all day long, and the days are over?" Do you know that there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is greater? ”
Heiye was very helpless, forced by his father and brother, so he had to nod.
As a result, the father immediately said, "I have also seen the women of the Yang family and the Li family, they are not bad, you can't waste it, give birth to a few more fat children in the round house as soon as possible." ”
Luo Cheng smiled, "Yes, I have prepared an eight-hundred-mile feudal kingdom for you, and you don't have a few sons." ”
"Look at the fourth child, there are more than a dozen sons."
Luo Gui said, and said to Luo Cheng, "Emperor, you have to work harder, don't think about state affairs and world affairs all day long, sometimes you have to pay more attention to your harem, think about family affairs, and have more children." Our royal family is already thin, there are only three brothers in my generation, and there are only seven brothers in your generation. ”
According to Luo Gui's words, Luo Cheng, as the emperor, had to give birth to thirty or fifty sons to count.
Luo Cheng stared at his father, "Aya, I see that you are still quite young, you feel younger and younger in the past two years, you see that your hair is all black, and your skin is bright, why don't you find some more beauties for your son, and you will work harder to spread out more branches for our royal family?" ”
Daddy laughed.
In the past, life was hard, people grew old fast, and they didn't have time to think about anything else all day long. Now, life is really better, and it's leisurely, and sometimes, there are indeed some small ideas.
It's just that Dad feels ashamed of his wife for this kind of thought, after all, the Qin family has been with him all his life, giving birth to children for him, and sharing weal and woe with him.
"A-Niang should be able to understand." Luo Cheng said with a smile.
In these years, it is very normal to marry a concubine.
"Forget it, as soon as you are old, half of your body will be in the ground, so you won't let people poke your backbone in the back." Daddy waved his hand.
"Xu Shiji came back from the belt side, brought back a hundred Goguryeo women, and there were two countries, Baekje and Silla, each sent a hundred draft beauties, originally I didn't plan to accept it, but the road is thousands of miles, and it is inconvenient to go back, so I plan to share the rewards with the kings and heroes, just to give the emperor you filial piety, how about Baekje Goguryeo Silla women give you ten people each?"
Daddy was a little moved, but he still shook his hand.
"No, no, no."
"But too much? If it's too much, then honor the two fathers the same. ”
Dad is still hesitating there, but the Queen Mother has already come, "Since it is the emperor's filial piety, you can just accept it, my old wife will not be jealous, I am not Fang Xuanling's wife." ”
Jealousy is still a new word, this time Xu Shiji brought back the three hundred Peninsula beauties, the emperor distributed the rewards to the princes and ministers, Fang Xuanling was the prime minister, so he also got one. As a result, Fang Xuanling said that he didn't dare to accept it, and asked him why, and he said that his wife would definitely refuse.
So Luo Cheng laughed and said that he was afraid of his wife, and then sent someone to send the three women to the house, and at the same time sent a will.
If the Lu family refused to let Fang Xuanling accept these three concubines, they would give her a pot of poisonous wine.
As a result, Fan Yang Lu, who was born in five surnames and seven families, was very strong, and actually directly picked up the imperial poisoned wine and drank it.
But when she finished drinking, she found that the poisonous wine was very sour, and it turned out to be a pot of vinegar, not really poisonous wine.
In this way, the story of jealousy has spread all over Luoyang, and everyone knows it.
Later, it was Luo Cheng's queen Shan who personally went to the house to comfort the Lu family for a long time, and then she reluctantly agreed to accept the three concubines.
Dad smiled awkwardly when he heard his wife say this.
"What are you laughing at, I don't know that you men, men in the world are average, after being rich and powerful, I want to take a concubine and marry a child, it's all the same."
I think back then, Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian and Dugu had a good relationship, and once said that they would be husband and wife for a lifetime. As a result, when he was old, Yang Jian still fell in love with the young and beautiful Wei Chi. Dugu took advantage of Yang Jian's ascension to the court to kill Yu Chi's family, and the angry Yang Jian rode on his horse and ran forty miles in one breath, squatting by the river and crying.
Later, Dugu Jialuo had no choice but to personally select Princess Ningyuan of the Chen Dynasty for Yang Jian to enter the palace and named her Mrs. Xuanhua.
The Qin family is still a relatively enlightened wife, and accepting a few concubines is just a trivial matter.
The three hundred peninsula beauties were quickly divided, and the emperor himself only kept three.
Xu Shiji asked the emperor when he faced the monarch, and Luo Cheng said with a straight face, "Don't take it as an example." ”
But Xu Shiji didn't seem to be dissatisfied at all when he looked at the emperor, and when he saw the ministers and princes recently, everyone praised him, saying that those Silla Baekje Goguryeo women were very gentle, and some people even asked him to bring back the party and get some for them.
Seeing the emperor's return, Xu Seji went to Honglu Temple to meet the envoys of Silla and Baekje, and said to them, "The women you paid tribute here last year were not very good. Just look at the top of your king's respect, the beauty of the beauties, and the princes of the princes, all of them have been rewarded. ”
The two messengers were apprehensive when they heard this.
"Let's go back and choose another one as soon as we go, please say a beauty standard from the general."
Xu Shiji snorted a few times, "Just like last time, send another hundred each, remember not to make up the number of crooked melons and cracked dates." ”
The two messengers were stunned for a moment, why did they first say that the last time was not good, and then said that they would send it again according to the last time? Then I came back to my senses all of a sudden, and it turned out that they were too little.
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and even were complacent about their country's beauty being admired and loved by the Heavenly Dynasty, and they were very proud.
