"My father wants to choose a concubine for me!" When Li Zhi heard the news, he couldn't help but stand up in shock and said, he had already been overwhelmed by government affairs, but he didn't expect to hear the news again suddenly, which made him a little unacceptable for a while.

"Don't be too surprised, you have indeed reached the age of getting married, especially now that you are the prince, the sooner you get married and give birth to a child, you can also stabilize the hearts of the people in the court!" Li Xiu said with a smile at this time, whether it is the emperor or the crown prince, as long as they sit in these two seats, then their family affairs will become state affairs.

Speaking of which, because of the influence of Li Xiu, Li Chengqian and Li Zhi, the princes, were married two years later than in the original history, for example, in the original history, when the Wang family married Li Zhi, he was only the king of Jin, and later Li Zhi became the crown prince, and the Wang family was promoted from the princess of Jin to the princess, but now the step of the princess of Jin is omitted.

"But...... But I'm not ready. At this time, Li Zhi sat down again with a bitter face and said.

"I know this matter is a little too sudden for you, so I have bought you a little time, and now that your father has handed over this matter to me, I suggest that you contact the future crown princess first, if you have no opinion, I can arrange it for you." Li Xiu smiled again at this time.

"Which woman is the other party?" Hearing Li Xiu's words, Li Zhi finally calmed down and asked.

"This time it is a relative of the eldest princess of Tongan, the other party is from the Taiyuan Wang family, she is the niece and granddaughter of the eldest princess, and she is still Wang Fangyi's cousin." Li Xiu said with a smile.

"Cousin, which cousin, during the Shangyuan Festival the year before last, I went out with Fang Yi and Brother Jin to play, and I met several of Fang Yi's cousins, and they chatted a few words at that time, it wouldn't be one of them, right?" When Li Zhi heard that the other party was Wang Fangyi's cousin, he couldn't help but feel shocked and said, if the other party was really someone he knew, it would be a coincidence.

"There is such a thing, it would be great if you knew each other, but I don't know how many cousins Fang Yi has, if it wasn't someone you know, you wouldn't be disappointed." Li Xiu was also very happy when he heard Li Zhi's words, if Li Zhi knew that Wang before, then it would be easier for him to accept Wang.

"If it's really the women I met before, it's really fate, and this matter was brought up by my aunt's mother, and it is estimated that my father will not be able to refuse, so sir, you can help me arrange it, and we will see each other then!" Li Zhi also laughed out loud at the moment and said, since he can't hide, then face it bravely, this is also one of the most important things that Li Xiu taught him.

"Good! You can learn to deal with government affairs with peace of mind, and I will arrange it for you on the Wang side, but you also have to grasp a degree, don't make anything difficult to clean up when the time comes! When Li Xiu said the end, he couldn't help but show a meaningful smile.

"Sir, don't worry, I'm not a child anymore, I naturally know what I can do and what I can't do." Li Zhi is no longer small, so he naturally understands what Li Xiu means, and he is very helpless at the moment.

"It's because you're not a child anymore that I told you!" Li Xiu joked again, which made Li Zhi stunned, and then laughed.

A few days later, Li Xiu arranged for Li Zhi to meet with the little lady of the Wang family, and it turned out to be a coincidence, the other party was really one of the women Li Zhi saw last time, although they didn't leave a deep impression on each other last time, but now the two are about to get engaged, which makes them all feel the wonder of fate, and it is precisely because of this fate that Li Zhi is not exclusive to this marriage.

Li Zhi's marriage is in preparation, and the wedding of Li Zhen and Ping An Lang is also being prepared, Li Shimin originally wanted to let the wedding of these two couples be held together, but later it was opposed by the Ministry of Rites, because this is not in line with the etiquette system, and finally Li Shimin had no choice but to let Ping An Lang and Li Qian's wedding advance, and the date of Li Qian's marriage is set in June, and it is not a few months now, so Li Xiu's family also began to fall into busy preparations.

A few months later, the wedding day of Lizhi and Ping'an Lang finally arrived, for Lizhen, a daughter who has not been in good health since she was a child, Li Shimin is also very fond of her, and even ordered Yousi to double the dowry prepared for Lizhen, although this matter was opposed by many ministers, but Li Shimin insisted on going his own way, and finally Li Xiu personally persuaded Li Shimin to withdraw this edict, after all, this abnormal favor is not in line with the etiquette system, and it is easy to be caught in the future.

On the day of the wedding, Li Shimin also personally sent his daughter to marry, and at the moment when Lizhi left the palace in the carriage, Li Shimin also shed tears, after all, since the death of the eldest grandson, Lizhi has taken on the task of taking care of her younger brothers and sisters, such as her son-in-law and Li Zhi and others, all of whom were brought up by Lizhi, and Li Shimin also took special pity on Lizhen, a sensible but weak daughter, and now that she is married, she has one less relative by her side.

Not long after Li Zhen and Ping An Lang got married, Li Zhi finally got married, speaking of which, although Wang Fangyi's family also belongs to the Taiyuan Wang family, but their branch is very close to the Li royal family, the eldest princess of Tong'an married Wang Yu, and now the daughter of the Wang family has become the princess, and will become the queen of the Tang Dynasty in the future, which also means that their Taiyuan Wang family is completely tied to the royal family.

Although Taiyuan Wang also belongs to one of the five surnames and seven hopes, but in terms of influence, the Wang family ranks first from the bottom, which is not to say that the Wang family is not angry, in fact, among the five surnames and seven hopes, the number of people in the Wang family is the largest, and the inheritance is the longest, but it is precisely because the Wang family has been inherited for too long, there are too many branches, which also causes the Wang family to slowly lose the cohesion of the family.

It is also the internal division of the Wang family, so although they are large in number and talented, their influence is at the bottom of the family, and there are even branches like Wang Fangyi that completely fall to the royal family, but this is also a good thing, there is a royal marriage within the Wang family, and the family is also suppressed by the imperial court.

And what is even more surprising is that not long after Wang married Li Zhi, the news of pregnancy came out, this news came out, so that many people were completely relieved, and the Wang family was even more surprised, with the birth of this child, Wang will also completely sit in the position of the crown princess, and become the queen smoothly in the future, and Wang's son will also become the fourth emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

In fact, for a man, in addition to his own experience, the most important thing to truly mature is to take on the responsibility of a family, and for a family, children are an indispensable part, otherwise the family is not perfect.

Compared with Li Zhi, although Ping An Lang and Li Zhen got married a little earlier, but Li Zhen has never been pregnant, it is not that Li Zhen does not want to give birth, but Ping An Lang does not want to give birth, because he is proficient in medical skills, and knows that Li Zhi's physical condition is not suitable for having children, so he has also been taking some contraceptive measures, but Li Zhen has always wanted a child, for which the husband and wife also had a little conflict, fortunately, Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang persuaded from it, which temporarily suppressed this contradiction.

"Husband, Lizhi is a good daughter-in-law, I, as a mother-in-law, also like her, and she also wants children, but Ping'anlang is a dead man, and even Lizhi wants to give him a concubine, he refuses, you say that if he continues like this, he really doesn't plan to have children in the future?" When she was resting that night, Yi Niang complained to Li Xiu.

"This ......" Li Xiu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard his wife's complaints, and hesitated for a moment before he spoke, "I also understand Ping Anlang's thoughts, but not having children is not a way, I'll talk to him when I'm free!" ”

"It's great if the husband can persuade Ping An Lang, in fact, Li Zhen told me that Sun Daochang said that she is not completely unable to give birth, but she should be cautious, so if Ping An Lang really doesn't want to take a concubine, then let Li Zhen give it a try, as long as there is a son and a half daughter, they will not feel lonely in the future." Yi Niang spoke again at this time.

Early the next morning, Li Xiu called Ping'an Lang, who was about to go to the East Palace, he was originally a subordinate official of the Jin Palace, and now he has officially become a subordinate official of the East Palace, and he has to accompany Li Zhi to learn to deal with government affairs every day, and when Li Zhi ascends the throne as the emperor in the future, he will officially enter the court as an official.

"Father, what's the matter with you?" Ping An Lang followed Li Xiu to the study and asked.

"Your mother mentioned yesterday that you and Lizhi want to have children, I know you are worried that Lizhi will be in danger of having a child, but Lizhi wants a child of her own very much, and during this time, she often finds your mother to tell me about this, if you really disagree, I'm afraid Lizhi will also be very disappointed." Li Xiu said straight to the point.

Hearing his father also mention whether he and Lizhi wanted to have a child, Ping'an Lang couldn't help but smile bitterly, and after a while, he spoke again: "Father, the reason why I studied medicine at the beginning was to completely cure Lizhi's disease, but after so many years, I found that no matter how high my medical skills are, it is impossible to cure this congenital disease, and with Lizhi's physical condition, if she is pregnant, it is likely to aggravate her condition, so I plan not to have children." ”

"Now you are still young, and Lizhi's body is also at the best age, if you don't give birth at this time, the risk will be greater in the future, and even when she really can't give birth in the future, she will only be more painful at that time, and you also have to consider her mood." Li Xiu sighed at this time and said, he didn't know about Lizhi's physical condition, but Lizhi was very eager to have a child, which was also the source of the conflict between their husband and wife.

"I ......" Ping An Lang couldn't help but show a hesitant expression when he heard his father's words, but before he could answer, he suddenly heard someone outside say loudly: "Master, Your Majesty is here!" ”
