There is no time in the mountains, this is an old saying that everyone knows. For Li Zhi, who retired to the Zhenguan Palace, the career of the Emperor Taishang did not feel the years at the same time. His spirit has always been vigorous, although he will still be troubled by wind vertigo from time to time, but since the medicine king Sun Simiao once said that this stubborn disease cannot be cured, but it can be alleviated, and the focus is on meditation, he will temporarily let go of all this and only care about his leisurely retirement.

From the initial unaccustomed to the last Anzhiruosu, as his grandchildren enter the palace to see him every day, he has another entertainment, that is, every day in his free time, there will be a group of chirping children to accompany him, listening to them call the emperor grandpa in a soft voice.

The only thing Emperor Li worries about is the marriage of his son Li Xian. After Empress Wu skipped Ah Wei, Li Xian vetoed the candidates of Zhao Yang, the assassin of Dingzhou, and Zhao, the daughter of Princess Changle of Tang Gaozu. Because someone vaguely remembers that her mother doesn't like Princess Changle, and she doesn't even have a good impression of Princess Changle's daughter. If such a marriage is facilitated just because of the right family, I am afraid that it will be a big trouble.

So, Li Xian had to accept the assignment of Empress Wu and personally went out to browse a lot of portraits of daughters, but it was not so much that he was looking at other people's appearances, but rather pondering people's family backgrounds. After searching a large number of chase, he finally found a suitable --- Li Jingxuan's young daughter, Li Jiaying, who is now only fifteen years old.

Such a daughter-in-law is very satisfied with the selection of martial arts, but Li Xian dislikes his wife because she is too young and has no mature charm. Li Xian already had a headache about Li Xiandi's taste, and he was also worried that this messy mandarin duck spectrum would harm his future younger siblings. Therefore, he discussed with Li Jingxuan and asked Qu Tushenruo and Helan Yan to meet the daughter of the Li family.

At the end of such a meeting, he received a high praise from both wives at the same time---- very well. Very good! Of course, these two look at women by no means by any gentle and virtuous standard. Rather, it depends on temperament and temperament.

In Qu Tushenruo's words, in addition to studying since childhood, this Miss Li has also practiced good martial arts, has a bold temperament, and her speech and demeanor are not commensurate with her age. Li Jiaying was originally dissatisfied with this marriage, after all, Li Xian was "famous". When Qu Tu Shenruo and He Lanyan assured that Li Xian was too lazy and playful, they and Li Xian both supported the rectification work after marriage. This daughter of the Li family just responded, and she was still a little gearing up.

Listening to such a report, Li Xian only felt a cold sweat break out on his back. So, his playful younger brother Li Xian will marry a housekeeper this time? This Li Xianping is too nonsense and too playful, but if there is such an encounter, it will be a little pitiful! However, seeing that Qu Tushenruo and Helan Yan were full of excitement, with expressions that were very satisfied with this younger brother and sister, he had nothing to say at all.

It is said that things gather like and people are grouped. This sturdy woman could never be seen as a weak kind.

Now that Empress Wu and Li Xian have been finalized, Li Hong expected that this marriage would be happy, so he ordered the Ministry of Rites to start handling it. is also the sister-in-law of the Emperor Taishang, the younger brother of the current emperor, and he is married to the princess. Naturally, this scene is very lively. Just asking for names and other procedures also attracted countless onlookers, not to mention the countless dowries on the day of marriage.

Although Li Jingxuan is not a big corrupt official, he has been prime minister for a long time, and he naturally makes a lot of extra money. Now her daughter is married and has become a princess. The dowry he prepared was naturally very rich. When he personally sent his daughter out of the door, Rao was mixed up for most of his life. It was already an honor and disgrace, and at this time, I couldn't help but have red eyes.

Step out of this door, and when we meet again in the future, my daughter will be the Princess of England, not just his daughter!

Although Li Xian has a stubborn temperament, he is not as strong as Li Xiandi after all, so on the wedding day, he was patiently at the mercy of others, and he always had a wooden face. It wasn't until he received the wedding gifts from his parents, brother and sister that he smiled a little, but he was still a little impatient in his heart.

There was more than one woman before him, why did it have to be so troublesome this time?

And that night, before Li Xian fell asleep with his wife in his arms, an uncontrollable thought came out of his heart---- but unfortunately he couldn't make a hole in the house these days, otherwise, wouldn't it be fun for him to hide and sneak a peek at Li Xian's newlywed? I don't know if Qu Tushen likes his younger brother and sister, and whether he can control his stubborn younger brother.

The answer was quickly revealed the next day. The day after the wedding, Li Xian took the new princess to visit his parents, and of course, he also needed to see his brother and sister-in-law. In order to save trouble and have a companion, Li Xian waited early to meet his brother and sister-in-law in the Huiyou Palace. As a result, when he saw his younger brother and younger siblings coming in together, his face instantly became extremely strange.

Probably because of the husband and wife fighting at the bedside last night, both of them had dark circles under their eyes, the only difference was that one was smiling brightly, and the other was hanging his head listlessly. Of course, it was Li Xian listlessly, this kid didn't even have enough voice when he spoke, obviously he was a big defeat last night.

Although Li Xian's face was not bruised, Li Xian couldn't help but wonder if he had any injuries on his body as he stood there and looked weak. You must know that it is rare for a woman to be praised by the eldest sister, and now his younger brother and sister are still fifteen years old, if they are a few years older, wouldn't Li Xian be even worse?

Although Li Hong is not as perceptive as Li Xian, as long as he is not blind, he will not be able to see his younger brother's inappropriateness no matter what. Although he also hoped that a strong woman would clean up Li Xian's stubbornness, he was also worried that Empress Wu would have anything to think of such a strong daughter-in-law, so he immediately signaled Yang Wenyin to take Li Jiaying first and talk.

The newlywed wife was not there, Li Xian suddenly didn't care that this was in the Huiyou Palace, and breathed a long sigh of relief. However, he was secretive about what happened last night, and only said that Empress Wu was very satisfied with his little wife when he was in the Great Yi Hall just now. But when Li Xian smiled and asked him if he was satisfied with his wife, a man who could really be regarded as a lewd man showed a hesitant expression.

There was no answer, but the expression of pain and happiness said it all. So, Li Xian patted his younger brother's shoulder considerately, exchanged a tacit understanding with Li Hong, and immediately proposed that the newlyweds go to the West Garden of Luoyang Palace to relax. Sure enough, in the face of this proposal, Li Xian agreed without saying a word, and then he had to thank his brother and sister-in-law for their wedding gift.

Li Hong gave 50 new books, one coral tree; Li Xian gave 20 sets of practice clothes, plus 18 weapons each. The gift given by the former is very appropriate and festive, while Li Xian's gift is inevitably a little out of tune. But at this time, Li Xian was obviously biased towards the latter's gift.

In his words, starting tomorrow, his little wife will start urging him to practice martial arts and strengthen his body, and get rid of the fat on his body, so Li Xian's sports equipment is just right, and he can also use the clothes.

The two brothers Li Hong and Li Xian were dumbfounded, and when the two sisters who were talking over there turned around, their new brother and sister made a request "shy and timid---- she was free to go to the Xiuwen Workshop to ask Qu Tu Shenruo to teach swordsmanship, and Su Yu to teach Ma Lance, of course, she did not forget to say in the end that she would practice female celebrity and cooking skills well and "serve" a good husband.

When Li Xian heard the word service, he instinctively glanced at Li Xian, and found that this guy's shoulders shook twice when he heard this, and he basically understood what the so-called service meant.

So, when he saw the young couple going out together and preparing to go to Xiyuan for a tour, Li Xian finally couldn't help but pinch Li Hong's arm: "Fifth brother, is there something wrong with my eyes?" Not only was the seventh brother completely surrendered by the seventh brother and sister, but he also seemed to be willing? ”

"You ask me, who am I going to ask?" Li Hong himself is also the second monk of Zhang, and he couldn't help but glare at Li Xian angrily at this time, "Anyway, this marriage has been investigated by you, if there is anything wrong in the future, you are the only one to ask, don't rely on me!" I'm just worried that if the seventh brother and sister also learn from the jealous Mrs. Fang in the future, the queen mother may not be willing to do it! ”

Of course Li Xian knows his mother's temperament. Except for a few capable of undertaking political tasks, the rest of the royal children only need to be stallions at home. It's just that he doesn't know how powerful his younger brother and sister are, but he doesn't believe much in the story of the prodigal son's return to the gold and not changing, and the people around him, Li Xian will endure it or not? This is Li Jingxuan, there seem to be more than a dozen concubines in the family, and he is by no means a model of monogamy.

"Fifth brother, you have time to worry about the seventh brother, you might as well take care of your body." Li Xian smiled and blinked, and said slyly, "Now that you have added another baby princess, you have to work harder." You are a year older than me, at least you must surpass me in the number of children. ”

"A dog can't spit out ivory!"

Li Hong angrily counterattacked with Li Xian's mantra, and immediately frowned: "Sixth brother, now there are only two years left before my father's five-year period, if the construction is not started, I am afraid that this Mingtang will be difficult to complete on time." You have been in charge of the country for so long, do you know if the treasury can survive? ”

If you can't hold on, you have to build it, after all, this is a prerequisite for the retirement of the father, who dares to risk a crime of unfilial piety, when this thing has never happened?

Thinking that he would hardly have to worry about his money in his life, Li Xian had to put his heart on the side and said: "Just like this, half of the treasury will be released, and half of the inner treasury will be released, so that the treasury will not be emptied." ”

The so-called inner treasury is just the official expenditure that the treasury should pay to the palace every year, in fact, there is not much money, Li Hong is naturally clear about this, and his face shows doubts that are difficult to hide. When he saw Li Xian's expression of gritting his teeth, he suddenly realized, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart.

"I see, but I borrowed the money from you, it's decided!"
