It's just that Queen Changsun hasn't helped her son find a suitable target, so Li Shimin suddenly did something that surprised her.

He suddenly decided to marry Princess Qinghe, who was only ten years old and only nine years old, to Cheng Huailiang, the second son of Cheng Zhijie, the Duke of Lu Guo.

After Princess Qinghe learned the news, she ran to Empress Changsun and cried, she sobbed and said to Empress Changsun: "Queen Mother, can you persuade your father?" Erchen, Erchen is still young, and he still wants to stay in the palace to accompany his father and mother, but he really doesn't want to marry so early. ”

Princess Qinghe didn't see Cheng Huailiang, she only knew that he was the second son of Cheng Zhijie, the prince of Lu Guo, who was now seventeen years old, five big and three thick, and he was very brave and powerful in battle.

Such a man is still a good family affair for some women who have passed the marriage, but Princess Qinghe is nine years old, and it is really a bolt from the sky for her to suddenly accept such a husband and let her marry him immediately.

As long as she thought that she would have to face such a husband every day in the future, Princess Qinghe felt that her liver and intestines were broken, and she cried very sadly at the feet of the eldest grandson.

Empress Eldest Sun was also very surprised when she suddenly heard this, she couldn't figure out why her husband married his daughter so early.

Due to the scarcity of population, men and women were married at a younger age than in previous dynasties, but there must be a limit to this smallness, generally men must be fourteen years old, and women must be thirteen.

Like Qinghe, the only one who is about to marry is the same daughter-in-law, what kind of system does it take for the royal princess to marry like a child daughter-in-law?

It has long been recorded in ancient medical books that it is not good for the body for men and women to marry too early, but later dynasties often experienced wars, resulting in population scarcity, and those in power took care of it so much.

Li Shimin and his wife have been dealing with Dr. Sun a lot in the past few years, so naturally they don't understand that women get married too early, which is very bad for their health.

Although she was only 12 years old when she married her husband, the real round house was after the end of the year.

"Qinghe, don't cry, wait for your mother to help you ask your father and emperor to discuss it." The eldest grandson looked at Qinghe, who was crying in front of her, his heart fluctuated, and he was silent for a moment before he reached out and gently stroked the child's hair and spoke.

In the evening of the same day, when her husband was about to get off work, Empress Changsun sent her chamberlain to invite the emperor to let him go to his bedroom after finishing his official duties.

Li Shimin seemed to know what she was looking for herself, and as soon as she arrived at the Lizheng Palace, she stretched out her hand to take off her coat and spoke: "The queen is in a hurry to find me, but is it for Qinghe?" ”

"Well, why did Your Majesty let this child marry so early?" Empress Eldest Sun had no intention of concealing it and nodded.

"Cheng Zhijie just made a great contribution not long ago, and he needs to be rewarded according to the system, but he is already in the position of the prince of the country, and there is really no reward, so I named his second son Cheng Huailiang as the prince of Dong'e County, and at the same time decided to marry a princess to him." Li Shimin said.

"Then why choose Qinghe? Qinghe is nine years old, and he is only ten years old, so he is really not old enough to get married? Empress Eldest Sun looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"At present, only Qinghe is suitable for marriage with Lu Guogong's family, Lu Guogong's family is extremely prominent, and the princess and her mother's family who marry should not be too prominent, but it should not be too lowly, and only Qinghe can meet this standard." Li Shimin said.

After hearing this, Empress Eldest Sun did not say anything more, only a pair of beautiful eyebrows raised slightly, and Li Shimin raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this: "What, the queen thinks my An Fei is inappropriate?" ”

"Where, Your Majesty's decision is naturally good, the concubine just thinks that this child is too young, and she can't bear it."

The eldest grandson glanced at her husband and found that although he was smiling on his face, there was no smile in his eyes, his heart was slightly tight, but his face was not obvious, and he said with a forced smile.

"She is young, but Huailiang is not young, he is now seventeen years old, if he doesn't take a wife, it will be a joke, Qinghe is a royal princess, enjoys wealth and glory, and naturally should fulfill his obligations as a princess."

"Now the royal family needs her to marry, she must marry, there is no room for bargaining in this matter."

"As for her young age, the queen doesn't have to worry, although the son of the old Cheng family looks a little rougher, he is not a barbarian who is really unreasonable and humane, Qinghe is only ten years old, and it is naturally not suitable for a round house at this time."

"After Qinghe got married, she will learn the rules of being a daughter-in-law for a few years, and it will not be too late for her to wait for her to be married, and the two of them will take this opportunity to spend more time together, maybe they will be a rare loving couple in the future." Li Shimin said.

Empress Changsun knew that this matter was a foregone conclusion, so she wisely closed her mouth and didn't say anything more.

Two days later, she summoned Qinghe and her mother, Xiu Concubine, to her side again, and conveyed her husband's meaning euphemistically.

"Qinghe, the queen mother thinks that what His Majesty said is reasonable, then the Lu Guogong family is illustrious, Cheng Huailiang is quite a father, he is a rare young hero, after you marry him, slowly cultivate a relationship with him, and when you grow up in the future, most of you can become a loving couple." After finishing speaking, the eldest grandson comforted Qinghe a few more words.

Qinghe's age can't understand this truth, she subconsciously wanted to say something, but was stopped by her mother Xiu Concubine, her daughter was still young and didn't understand, but she could understand.

In addition to the daughter's young age, the rest of this family affair is indeed very good, and the princess who came out of the concubine chooses the concubine, and there are not many prominent Cheng family members in the court.

The daughter is so young, and now she definitely doesn't need a round house for the time being, she doesn't need a round house, and she can cultivate a relationship with her husband early, except that Qinghe is still young and needs to be restrained when she arrives at her in-law's house, and the rest of it is thought about carefully, as the queen said, this is a very good marriage.

As soon as she thought of this, Concubine Xiu stopped her daughter from messing around again, took her to her palace, and analyzed the pros and cons for her.

Although Qinghe is young, she may be chosen by Li Shimin to marry, she will definitely not be a fool, after listening to her mother's analysis, she also feels that this marriage may not be as tragic as she imagined.

In addition, knowing that this matter was a foregone conclusion, he put away his grief and began to learn everything that a princess who was going to marry needed to learn.

In late April, the ten-year-old princess put on her wedding dress, sat in a sedan chair, and married into Chengfu.

The mood of the people who watched the ceremony that day was quite complicated, and they only felt that the life of the royal princess was not as good as imagined.

As for the princesses in the palace who were about the same age as Qinghe, they were all pale and panicked, and they were all afraid that the emperor would suddenly tell them one day and let them marry so-and-so now.

Although the marriage of a princess is almost an inevitable fate, no one wants to be married off at this age.

Even Yu Zhang and Changle's faces were not unpleasant, after Qinghe got married, they subconsciously avoided Li Shimin when they saw it for several days.
