Chapter 225: [Repentance]
"Mom, I'm young!" Li Chengqian bared his teeth and said in embarrassment.
The queen raised her pointed chin and said indifferently: "I won't mention the marriage of that beauty." β
"Huh?" If you don't mention it, you won't regret your marriage.
I didn't expect the queen to play a scoundrel. The muscles at the corner of Li Chengqian's mouth twitched, and he had to reluctantly agree: "Okay, I'll say it!" β
At this time, the eunuch outside the door shouted: "Tell Niangniang, Zhao Guogong is here." β
"Cheng Qian, go and meet your uncle!" The queen shouted.
Li Chengqian obediently walked out, saw the fat uncle in civilian clothes and the cousin with a bamboo pole, and greeted him with a smile: "Chengqian has seen his uncle, he has seen his cousin!" β
The fat uncle and the bamboo pole cousin still treated each other with the courtesy of the monarch and the minister: "The ministers have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." β
"It's inconvenient for my mother to come out, uncle and cousin forgive me, please go in with Chengqian." Li Chengqian said politely.
After the three of them entered the house, the queen and the fat uncle chatted about family affairs first, as if it were just an ordinary family gathering. Cousin Bamboo Pole turned his head around, usually as soon as he entered the palace, the queen would call the eldest sister's fiancΓ©e, and then the two of them took a small sip and frowned, well, seriously said that Cousin Bamboo Pole was squeezing his eyebrows alone. This time, the queen didn't call the eldest sister to come, which made the bamboo pole cousin a little unaccustomed.
The queen deliberately didn't notice the obscene appearance of the cousin of the bamboo pole, and kept chatting with the fat uncle enthusiastically, and after chatting for a while, she deliberately led the words to Li Chengqian, and the fat uncle also paid attention to Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian was in a very good state today, and he was very cooperative, and he did not abruptly propose to repent of his marriage, but talked about the census of dead fat women.
"Oh? And what's going on? The fat uncle was stunned for a moment, he was very sensitive to these political things, and immediately raised his spirit and looked at Li Chengqian.
"Yes, after the fourth brother's concubine died, he was overly sad and hot-headed, and suddenly thought of investigating whether women of the same age as his concubine were easy to die. The younger you are, the more likely you are to die. For example, if a girl under the age of fourteen marries five, three will die! Li Chengqian said very seriously.
If you marry five and die three, the mortality rate is 60 percent. That's right, it adds the high mortality rate under the age of 12 to the age of 14 in the original age group. In this way, the mortality rate is higher and more convincing. Moreover, Li Chengqian also emphasized that he was fourteen years old, which is the age of the eldest sister.
"Oh!" After hearing this, the fat uncle nodded.
"Yesterday, the fourth brother dedicated the account to his father, and the father was shocked when he saw it, and praised the fourth brother, saying that he was worried about the people's worries and the country's worries!" Li Chengqian continued.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can have this account book, let the ministers take a look!" Uncle Fat asked.
Li Chengqian spread his hands and said: "No, I just heard what the fourth brother said, and I haven't read it, and now the account is dedicated to my father, and I can only go to my father to see it." β
Uncle Fat touched his beard and thought to himself, "Oh. β
Li Chengqian turned his head, looked at the eldest grandson Chong, and said, "How old is my cousin this year, and he also marries a wife, right?" β
The fat uncle was stunned, but the eldest grandson Chong did not have the way of the fat uncle, and after hearing Li Chengqian's words, he replied with a smile: "Back to Your Highness, I am already twenty-one, and I have two concubines in the family, and I will wait for Princess Changle to come out, and then Princess Changle." β
"Well, my eldest sister is just fourteen years old......" Li Chengqian was deliberately surprised.
Uncle Fatty's face changed slightly.
"Cheng Qian, don't be rude!" The queen snorted softly.
The fat uncle retracted his face, and looked as calm as water, but at that time, his eyes flashed from time to time, but it let people know that he was thinking about some complicated things.
But Changsun Chong didn't notice this, he was stunned for a moment, and said, "The prince said this, is it to ask Princess Changle to extend the marriage period?" β
"Well, it's not my fourth brother after the census, if my father thinks that these bad things need to be changed, then there will be policies and laws, and it will be a crime to marry a fourteen-year-old at that time." Li Chengqian pretended to be stupid and said.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, my eldest grandson's family naturally doesn't dare to violate the law of the country!" Uncle Fat replied lightly.
"Oh." Li Chengqian nodded.
"Cheng Qian, don't be rude to your uncle." The queen said, she turned around and looked at the fat uncle, "Big brother, this matter is Guanyin's fault!" β
"No!" Uncle Fat shook his head.
The queen looked at Li Chengqian and Changsun Chong, who still looked confused and said, "You two go out first." Son-in-law goes out with your eldest brother. β
"Yes." Li Chengqian hugged his son, and then rushed out with his eldest grandson.
The three of them went outside, and Changsun Chong and Li Chengqian had something to talk about: "Recently, I saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince often goes to the polo shop, and His Royal Highness likes polo very much!" β
"Yes, I like it very much, I kind of want to raise a polo team myself, and then sweep the whole field, hehe......" Li Chengqian said with a smile.
Changsun Chong also led the polo team of the eldest grandson's family, and when it comes to polo, he is still very familiar.
"Recently, the Cheng family's polo team has swept the court, and everyone is guessing what secret weapon they used!" Changsun Chong said.
"Hmm."
"Does the prince want to know what secret weapon they used?" The eldest grandson Chong said mysteriously.
Look at him like this, as if he knew.
"What?" Li Chengqian cooperated with him and said.
"They use an extended polo mallet, so the distance from the hammer is longer than ours, so they can get the ball first every time!" Changsun Chong said angrily.
This is clearly inconsistent with the facts, "No, there should be someone to check before this game, and everyone uses similar polo mallets!" β
"This shows the insidiousness of the Cheng family, they threatened to buy the people who checked it!" The eldest grandson Chong said with a clear eye.
Li Chengqian didn't argue with him either, and nodded in agreement with his words.
"Prince, I saw that the queen's face was not very good just now, they won't say anything inside, right?" The topic of the eldest grandson suddenly turned to the queen's face. It seems that the polo just said that it was just a closer distance to Li Chengqian.
"Oh, I don't know." Li Chengqian knew the queen's ability, so he stopped talking about this topic with the eldest grandson, and continued polo, "By the way, cousin, what do you need to do with this combination of polo teams?" β
"Oh, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really wants to form a polo team, speaking of which, from the perspective of the players, the horses, and the polo training ground, you listen to me slowly......" Changsun Chong said.
Li Chengqian has watched polo games for so long, and he also knows a lot about polo, especially Cheng Wenxiao, a little lady in love, who often acts as Li Chengqian's polo interpreter, so Changsun Chong spit out his mouth without much dry goods.
The two talked for a long time, and the fat uncle walked out of it, his face a little cloudy.
