Chapter 18: Marriage

"Mo'er, don't forget that when you deduced at the beginning, we also had the granddaughter of Shangguanyi in your deduction picture, and they were born very well!"

Li Zhi continued to speak

"But father, he's only a year old now! Besides, I'm fourteen years older than the others! ”

Li Lingmo blushed and whispered to Li Zhi

"Okay, find an excuse to be a guest at someone's house another day, and let you see someone's granddaughter by the way."

Li Zhi didn't say much, he knew what Li Lingmo thought, so he didn't say much in order not to make his precious son ugly.

"What do I think, even if I want to marry Shangguan Wan'er, I have to wait until someone is sixteen years old! Now people are only one year old and they are thinking about it, what is this for! ”

He complained in his heart, so that he never thought that because of himself, history had changed slightly.

Chang'an City Shangguan Mansion

I saw Shangguan Yi and Shangguan Tingzhi with their wives and daughters Zheng and Shangguan Wan'er waiting for someone to arrive at the gate of their house, and half an hour later I saw a carriage coming from the direction of Daming Palace.

I saw Li Zhi and Li Lingmo walking down from the carriage, Li Zhi gave two orders to the groom, and then took Li Lingmo to Shangguan Yi and the others.

"Old minister, ......"

"Hey! Shangguan Yi doesn't need so many courtesies, my visit to your house this time is to talk about the old days. My son, you should already know me, so I won't introduce you! ”

Li Zhi opened his mouth to interrupt Shangguan Yi's words

"Then the old minister is better to be respectful! Your Majesty also invites you to take a seat in the hall. ”

Shangguan Yi's family took Li Zhi and Li Lingmo towards the main hall of the mansion.

Shangguanyi's natural way, what does Li Zhi mean by bringing Li Lingmo here, he has struggled in the officialdom all his life, if he can't see what the emperor brought his son to his house this time, then he is really old and confused, but he still needs to investigate whether His Royal Highness the King of Chu in front of him is a good match for his precious granddaughter, however, as far as that incident is concerned, Li Lingmo's first impression of being neither humble nor arrogant at that time was very good.

"Your Majesty, you and His Royal Highness the King of Chu sit down for a while again, and I will go and order my subordinates to prepare refreshments!"

Shangguan Tingzhi's wife, Zheng, said hello to Li Zhi and Li Lingmo, and then walked out of the main hall to order the subordinates to prepare refreshments, of course, she didn't know that Li Zhi brought Li Lingmo to come to comfort the old minister, but in fact he came for her daughter.

"Your Majesty and His Royal Highness deigned to come, the old minister of the old minister's mansion probably guessed one or two, Your Majesty came to visit the old minister on the surface, but in fact he came for my granddaughter Wan'er!"

Shangguan Yi saw that Zheng went to the kitchen to make arrangements, so he said sharply, and as Shangguan Yi's words fell, Li Lingmo's face flushed with a hint of blush, and he instantly became embarrassed.

"Grandpa Shangguan, make fun of me!"

Li Lingmo whispered

"Haha, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has nothing to be shy about in this matter, after all, the marriage contract is still decided as soon as possible. However, the granddaughter of the old minister, Wan'er, is only one year old and is still a baby, if she and His Royal Highness the King of Chu are married, I am afraid it will not be appropriate to be the princess of the main family, Your Majesty! ”

Shangguan Yi's words to Li Zhi and Li Lingmo also had other meanings, in fact, what he thought in his heart was, "I want my granddaughter to see if you King Chu have the patience to wait for her to grow up!" ”

Li Lingmo naturally knew what Shangguan Yi was thinking, but he didn't pierce it or speak, just waited for what his father Li Zhi said before speaking.

"It's okay, it's okay, the marriage is the order of the parents, and it's important to pay attention to being a good family, so what's the harm if you can wait for a few years after marriage."

Li Zhi opened his mouth and said, he knew in his heart like a mirror how Shangguan Yi thought if it weren't for Li Lingmo's previous deduction that this talented and slim woman was worth waiting for, he wouldn't have considered it.

"But Your Majesty, according to the law of the country, my family Wan'er is not in the marriageable year, and I can't let His Royal Highness welcome him into the palace!"

Shangguan Tingzhi said at this time, how could he not know how glorious it was to marry into the royal family and be the most cherished prince of His Majesty, but he had no choice but to marry men and women at an age of fifteen men and thirteen years old according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and his daughter was not in this range.

"What's the matter, Shangguan Tingzhi is that you are too worried, we can set the marriage for Wan'er and Lu in the year before welcoming into the palace!"

Li Zhi opened his mouth and said to Shangguan Tingzhi

"If Your Majesty insists on this, then the ministers will be respectful, and it is better to obey their orders! It's just that His Royal Highness the King of Chu has been waiting for a few more years! ”

Shangguan Yi's father and son saw that Li Zhi was determined to do so, so they no longer resisted, because Li Zhi was the king of a country after all, and they were afraid that they would be punished for the crime of disobeying the decree because of this matter, and Li Zhi took Li Lingmo to their mansion to discuss this matter, which can be seen how much His Royal Highness the King of Chu in front of them is valued in Li Zhi's eyes.

"It's okay, then I'll choose a day to make an order to wait for Wan'er to choose an auspicious day in the year of cardamom to let her marry into the Chu Palace."

Li Zhi said to Shangguan Yi's family with a smile on his face, he was very satisfied with the result, in fact, he had already thought that if Shangguan Yi did not agree, he would directly make an order, presumably they would not dare to disobey the order, but voluntarily marrying and marrying was a happy ending.

"Then I will go back to the palace to draft the decree first, and let Wu Liangfu come to announce the decree with the dowry gift on a certain day."

"Your Majesty is still in the courtiers' house, and after lunch, go back to the palace! By the way, I also let the little girl meet with His Royal Highness. ”

Li Zhi got up and was about to take Li Lingmo back to the palace, only to see Shangguan Tingzhi open his mouth to stay

"Then I'm going to bother Grandpa Shangguan!"

Li Lingmo saw Shangguan Tingzhi open his mouth to stay, and before Li Zhi opened his mouth, he replied to Shangguan Yi and the others

After lunch, Li Lingmo was lying on his stomach beside Shangguan Wan'er's crib and watched the sleeping Shangguan Wan'er's hand indeed have a faint light flickering, and he was using his mana to attract the aura of heaven and earth to Shangguan Wan'er's body when she was still a baby.

"Mo'er, it's time to go!"

After a long time, Li Lingmo only heard Li Zhi shouting in the courtyard, so he stopped his movements, walked like a courtyard, and did not forget to close the door when he went out.

"Father is here!"

Li Lingmo ran to Li Zhi's side and walked towards the carriage outside the door.

"Wait! Congratulations to His Royal Highness King Chu! ”

Shangguan Yi and the others saluted Li Zhi and Li Lingmo in the courtyard

"It's all said that you don't need to be polite, why didn't you listen to it? We'll be a family from now on! I'm not happy to do this again! ”

Li Zhi turned his head to Shangguan Yi and the others who were standing in place, said a few words with a smile on his face, and got into the carriage

"Husband, what did Your Majesty mean by the family just now? I didn't get it."

"It means that Your Majesty's family personally came to the mansion for the marriage of His Royal Highness the King of Chu beside him!"

"But our family Wan'er is only one year old!"

"Your Majesty just told me and my father in person when you were preparing the meal, Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the King of Chu can wait, and they will get married on an auspicious day when Wan'er is in the year of Cardamom."

Shangguan Tingzhi and his wife explained

Inside the carriage

"Mo'er! Although the concubine has set your mind for you, you still have to marry a side concubine this year, this time you must listen to me! ”

Li Zhi said solemnly to Li Lingmo

"Good father, but where are we going now?"

Li Lingmo asked at Li Zhi.

"Go to your aunt's princess's mansion, she also gave birth to twin daughters in the second year after you and Hong'er were born, this time you want to get a side concubine, it is your aunt's Xiuying, you saw the little girl who always pestered you when you were outside the palace when you were a child!"

"Oh! That little girl! ”

While the father and son were talking, the carriage was also heading in the direction of Princess Changle's mansion
