"Xianggong!"

When Li Yuntian returned to Zhongwang's Mansion, although the night was dark, Zhou Yuting led the old and young in the family to wait in the hall, and when Li Yuntian walked into the front yard, he hurriedly led everyone to welcome him out happily.

At this time, two years have passed since Li Yuntian last went home, and Zhou Yuting naturally misses Li Yuntian very much in her heart.

After noticing Li Anming and Zhao Ning'er behind Li Yuntian, Zhou Yuting, Lu Cao and the others couldn't help but be slightly stunned, not knowing why Li Anming and Zhao Ning'er, who had disappeared for many days, were with Li Yuntian.

"It's not early, let's go back and rest." Li Yuntian said with a smile after glancing around at the large family of Hulala.

There were a few children in the crowd that greeted Li Yuntian, and before he knew it, he was already full of children and grandchildren, Li Anguo, Li Anmin and Li Anbang already had children, and he had already been promoted to a grandfather.

"Calyx, come on." With Li Yuntian's words, the people around gradually dispersed and went back to their rooms, Li Yuntian shouted to Lu Calyx, who was about to leave, and led her to Zhou Yuting's bedroom.

The green calyx glared at Li Anming fiercely, and then left with Li Yuntian, Li Anming smiled at Zhao Ning'er, who was nervous, took Zhao Ning'er's hand and talked and laughed with a few brothers, and he was not afraid of anything if Li Yuntian gave him the master.

"Xianggong, the concubine failed to teach Ming'er, and she is really shameless to face Xianggong." After coming to the living room where Zhou Yuting was hospitalized, Lu Cao said to Li Yuntian with an apologetic expression as soon as he entered the door.

"Cao'er's words are wrong, it's me, the father, who failed to teach him how to behave with others." Li Yuntian smiled and stepped forward to help the green calyx, he has always had a very special feeling for the green calyx, the green calyx was deeply imprinted in his mind when the green calyx was martyred for him in Hukou County, and he was one of the people he trusted the most.

"Xianggong, you must not rely on Ming'er's temperament this time, he can take Zhao Ning'er as a concubine, but the main house must be a famous lady."

Hearing this, Lu Calyx couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and then said to Li Yuntian seriously, "Ming'er will be crowned the king of the county by the emperor in the future, how can the princess of the county king be a commoner woman, wouldn't this be laughed at if it gets out!" ”

"Actually, this king doesn't think that a commoner woman can't become a princess, as long as she is innocent and can be single-minded to Ming'er."

Li Yuntian pressed the green calyx on the chair next to him, stretched out his finger and pointed to the sky, and said with a smile, "To be honest, if you go up for a few generations, Xianggong's ancestors are also farmers, and now Xianggong has also become the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and his children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, so we can't manage so much." ”

"Moreover, this is also a rare opportunity to be close to the people, let the outside world know that our Zhongwang Mansion is not a Longtan tiger's den, and it is bound to be supported by more people." Saying that, Li Yuntian looked at Zhou Yuting on the side, "Ting'er, An Yu's princess is also looking for the daughter of a commoner." ”

The An Yu in Li Yuntian's mouth refers to Li Anyu, the second son born to Zhou Yuting, and now he is almost at the age of talking about marriage, and those famous nobles in the capital are thinking about climbing this family business, you must know that Li Anyu is the second son of the Zhongwang Mansion, and he will be the one who will be crowned the king of the county in the future, and his identity has invisibly suppressed Li Anming and others.

"Xianggong, do you want to take a concubine to find a commoner's daughter for Yu'er as a wife?" Zhou Yuting was slightly stunned when she heard this, you must know that Li Anyu has a noble status and represents the façade of the Zhongwang Mansion, if you find a commoner's daughter, what kind of system will it be.

"It's not you who look for him, it's for him to find it himself, he doesn't want to go out to experience in the future, Xianggong believes that he can find his future princess." Li Yuntian shook his head and corrected Zhou Yuting's statement with a smile.

"But the marriage of our children in the Ming Dynasty pays attention to the orders of their parents and the words of the matchmaker, so it seems inappropriate for Yu'er to look for it." Zhou Yuting never expected Li Yuntian to have such a strange idea, she naturally felt sorry for Li Anyu in her heart, and she didn't want her to marry a commoner's daughter, so she opened her mouth to argue.

"When Yu'er falls in love with someone, let's let the matchmaker go to propose marriage, which is not contrary to the etiquette law." Li Yuntian naturally knew Zhou Yuting's thoughts, so he said meaningfully, "There are many little princes in our loyal palace, if they all marry the famous nobles in the capital, how do you let the outside world view us?" ”

"Xianggong means...... Avoid arousing suspicion! Hearing this, Zhou Yuting suddenly understood, and couldn't help but look at Li Yuntian in surprise.

"There is an old saying that is good, called Huaibi its sin, our palace is getting more and more powerful, if we all marry with famous and powerful people, it will inevitably provoke gossip, we have indeed suffered a vast imperial favor now, but we have to plan for the future."

Li Yuntian bowed slightly when he heard this, and looked at Zhou Yuting solemnly, "Xianggong used to think that the children were still young and didn't think too much about this matter, but later he was entangled in busy affairs, and now he must arrange this matter." ”

Zhou Yuting couldn't help but fall silent when she heard this, of course she understood what Li Yuntian meant, the current momentum of the Zhongwang Mansion can be said to be in full swing, and she has received boundless imperial grace, but Li Yuntian must think about the future of the Zhongwang Mansion, lest the Zhongwang Mansion become a thorn in the emperor's side in the future, so she gave up marrying with the famous and powerful, and wanted to protect herself.

The green calyx also came back to her senses at this time, bit her lip and looked at Zhou Yuting, this kind of big thing naturally has to be decided by Zhou Yuting, the princess.

"What Xianggong said is very true, for the sake of the future concubine of our palace, I also think that Yu'er should be allowed to marry the daughter of a commoner." Although Zhou Yuting doted on Li Anyu, as the princess of the Zhongwang Mansion, she naturally wanted the long-term plan of the palace, so she quickly made up her mind and smiled at Li Yuntian.

"This matter is also very helpless, but for the sake of the future of the palace, I have to make this decision, so as not to encounter disasters in the future." Li Yuntian couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, the so-called high place is not cold, he must make plans for the future of the Zhongwang Mansion.

"Xianggong, the concubine went to tell Yu'er about this matter, I think he can understand our hard work." Zhou Yuting smiled and comforted Li Yuntian.

She knew that Li Yuntian was taking precautions, because everything in the world could not be prosperous for a long time, and it would inevitably go through the process of prosperity and decline and the process of not being able to come to the extreme, so Li Yuntian made long-term plans for the Zhongwang Mansion.

"Cao'er, Xianggong looks at Zhao Ning'er, this girl is good, and her ancestors have been talented for several generations, and she can be regarded as a scholarly family." Li Yuntian smiled at Zhou Yuting when he heard this, he knew that Zhou Yuting would understand his good intentions, and then looked at the green calyx with a smile, "Since the two of them are like glue, it is better to fulfill them according to Xianggong." ”

"What Xianggong said is very true, the concubine actually thinks that Ning'er is very well-behaved and sensible, but she thinks that her rank is low, and now after listening to Xianggong's words, the concubine knows what to do." Lu Calyx smiled when she heard this, although she cared about Li Anming, she valued Li Yuntian's mind and the future of Zhongwang's Mansion more.

"Xianggong, the only thing the concubine is worried about now is that the queen mother will give Yu'er a marriage, and it will be difficult for the concubine to shirk at that time." At this time, Zhou Yuting remembered something, and couldn't help frowning slightly and said to Li Yuntian.

A powerful person of Li Yuntian's level, especially a prince, is unlikely to be the master of his son-in-law's affairs, but by the emperor, queen mother and queen in the palace to show his favor.

"Ting'er is reasonable, tomorrow I hope Ting'er will go to the palace to see the Queen Mother, and euphemistically show the Queen Mother that Xianggong wants Yu'er to marry the daughter of a commoner as his wife, and the Queen Mother will naturally know Xianggong's thoughts."

Li Yuntian smiled again and again when he heard this, and said to Zhou Yuting with a smile, although Empress Dowager Sun usually acts in a low-key manner, she is definitely an extremely smart person, otherwise she would not have squeezed out Empress Zhang to become the mother of a country in the Ming Dynasty, she is a very smart person, and she definitely knows Li Yuntian's intention to do this.

Speaking of which, the relationship between Li Yuntian and Empress Dowager Sun has always been very harmonious, and he is the most trusted person in the imperial court, so Empress Dowager Sun will definitely understand the choice made by Li Yuntian in Li Anyu's marriage.

"Cao'er, there is one thing that Xiang Gong must tell you, Xiang Gong has invited a will from the emperor, and he is going to inspect the territory of Daming in the Western Regions and Nanyang after the beginning of spring next year, and he will take An Ming with him at that time."

Li Yuntian's main purpose in calling the green calyx was not Li Anming's marriage, but to let Li Anming go to the Persian Gulf to take root, so he groaned after explaining Zhou Yuting, and said solemnly, "The emperor plans to give a harbor in the Western Regions of the Ming Dynasty to Xiang Gong as Xiang Gong's fief, and Xiang Gong wants An Ming to guard there." ”

"The emperor gave the prime minister a fief?" Hearing this, Lu Calyx suddenly showed a look of surprise on his face, you must know that it has been more than ten years since Li Yuntian entered the title of prince, neither Emperor Xuande nor Emperor Orthodoxy mentioned the matter of fiefdom, and Li Yuntian, as a prince, should have his own fief as a food.

"Don't worry, the concubine is willing to let Ming'er go to the Western Regions to guard the frontier for Daming." Afterwards, Lu Cao smiled and said to Li Yuntian, she naturally hoped that Li Anming could sharpen herself, especially to follow Li Yuntian to accept Li Yuntian's guidance, only in this way could she gain a foothold in the martial arts hall in the future.

At this time, Zhou Yuting had already noticed the strangeness in Li Yuntian's words, and her face couldn't help showing a look of surprise, and she looked at Li Yuntian with some surprise.

"Xianggong means that An Ming will set up a royal palace there and settle in that place in the future." Li Yuntian knew that the green calyx didn't understand the meaning of his words, so he groaned for a while and explained his intentions to her.

"What?" Lu Cao was taken aback when she heard this, the smile on her face froze, and she looked at Li Yuntian in disbelief, she also thought that Li Yuntian just asked Li Anming to be stationed in the Western Regions for a few years to improve his qualifications and then transfer back to the capital, but she didn't expect to stay in that distant place for the rest of her life, and it would be difficult to even meet in the future.

"According to the Ming Dynasty, the vassal king must go to the fief to become a vassal, although the prince is a king with a different surname, he should not violate this etiquette."

Li Yuntian knew that Lu Calyx was reluctant to go to such a far place, but he really had no other way, among his sons, only Li Anming's identity was the most suitable to go to the Western Regions, so he said helplessly, "Therefore, Xianggong wants Anming to go to the Western Regions to replace Xianggong." ”

Seeing Li Yuntian say "to be a vassal", Zhou Yuting couldn't help but secretly shook her head, there are not many children in the Zhongwang Mansion who can become the king of the county, except for her and Zhu Yuxin's sons, there are only Li Anguo, Li Anmin and Li Anming, who were rewarded by the Empress Dowager of the Zhang family when they were children.

And Zhou Yuting and Zhu Yuxin are both county lords with noble status, so the heirs of the two are not suitable to go to remote frontiers, plus Li Anguo and Li Anmin are working in the Xiaowu Army and the Sailor, the only thing left is Li Anming, and other children are not qualified even if they want to go.
