Time continued to slide, and in a blink of an eye, it was the eighth year of Zhenguan, and at the end of September of the seventh year of Zhenguan, Empress Changsun was found to be pregnant again.

As she got older, her pregnancy symptoms seemed to get worse, and the morning sickness lasted for a month and a half, and it gradually stabilized in November.

In September last year, Li Shimin not only set the candidate for the crown princess, but also gave the marriage of Changle and Changsun Chong, and the wedding date was set for February this year.

The eldest grandson has been pregnant for more than six months at this time, her health has not been good recently, and her mood is often unstable, and she is quite powerless to manage the marriage.

But Changle is the first daughter she married herself, and she is not at ease if she leaves the marriage to someone else.

However, Li Shimin saw that she was not energetic and was afraid that she would be tired, so he took the initiative to take over the matter.

Although he is not good at these as a big man, there are cases in the princess's dowry palace, and he only needs to supervise it.

Because Changle is a princess, Li Shimin asked the Internal Affairs Office to double the specifications of the dowry compared with other princesses.

The princesses who married before were all concubines, and Li Shimin wanted to give his princess more dowry, which was understandable.

But Wei Zheng, a strong old man, jumped out again and accused Li Shimin's demands of not being in harmony with the law.

"Xuancheng, you should tell me, Changle is a princess, and the princesses who married before are all concubines, and there is a difference between concubines since ancient times, so why is it wrong for me to give Changle more dowry?" Li Shimin held back his anger and glared at Wei Zheng to speak.

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, there is no difference, but there is still an elder and a young in everything, although Changle is a concubine, Princess Yongjia is her elder, and Princess Changle's dowry should not exceed her aunt in any case." Wei Zheng did not flinch, and opened his mouth with his neck stalked.

He didn't say that Yongjia was okay, when Yongjia was mentioned, Li Shimin was only angry, his eyes widened angrily, and the green tendons on his forehead were exposed, what kind of person is Yongjia, how can she be compared with Changle?

Wei Zheng, this old horseman, this Tian Sheweng, is he impatient?

"Your Majesty, what Lord Wei said is not unreasonable, although Princess Yongjia is not a long-term princess, but she is the elder of Princess Changle, and the time of marriage between them is not far apart, it is really not good for Princess Changle's dowry to exceed her too much."

Fang Xuanling, who knew the emperor's character, sighed in his heart when he saw this, the emperor was really angry when he looked at it like this, he hurriedly stood up and helped Wei Zheng to say a word.

"The minister also agrees with what Lord Wei said." The eldest grandson Wuji hesitated for a moment and also stood up.

He is considered a beneficiary of this matter, and he shouldn't have said anything in order to avoid suspicion, but if he really made the emperor angry and disposed of Wei Zheng because of this, it would be very inappropriate.

Li Shimin saw that everyone was helping Wei Zheng speak, although he was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, but it was not good to have another attack, so he could only snort angrily, flicked his robe, threw down the courtiers in the palace, and left the court in a huff.

"Master Wei, you are really impulsive this time, what kind of character is Princess Yongjia, how are you ......" Coming out of the Taiji Palace, Fang Xuanling glanced at Wei Zheng with a complicated expression.

In the past, Wei Zheng and the emperor were bullish, although he never helped, but most of the time he supported him in his heart, but today's matter, to be honest, Fang Xuanling did not approve of Wei Zheng's approach, and felt that he had overdone it.

"Although Princess Yongjia has a problem, and her reputation is not very good, but she is the elder of Princess Changle, and the time when the two of them got married is not far apart, if Princess Changle's dowry specification is too much higher than that of Princess Yongjia, it is a healing system, and the world has few people to discuss it, I don't think there is anything wrong with my advice."

Wei Zheng did not think that he was wrong, but insisted on his theory.

Fang Xuanling, Wen Yanbo, Xiao Yu and others could only shake their heads when they saw this, and it was inconvenient to say more.

didn't talk about the courtiers' thoughts, but said that Li Shimin came out of the palace and returned to the harem, and immediately told the eldest grandson queen about the matter.

After hearing this, Empress Eldest Sun couldn't help but smile: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, Lord Wei's move seems to be unsympathetic at first glance, but from a legal point of view, there is really no fault." ”

"Not only is it not wrong, but it is beneficial to oppose Changle, just imagine, if Changle marries with a dowry nearly twice as much as Yongjia, what will the world say when they talk about it?"

Li Shimin is a man, and he is not so clear about some of the etiquette systems of the harem, but the eldest grandson queen is different, as soon as she heard it, she knew that what Wei Zheng said was polite, but instead of blaming him, she opened her mouth to help her get rid of her defense.

"So, it's my mistake?" Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this.

"It's true that Your Majesty blames him, but it's nothing, Your Majesty loves his daughter very much, and he has never interfered in the affairs of the harem, and it is normal for people to make mistakes by chance, so leave this matter to the concubines to deal with." Empress Eldest Sun smiled slightly.

The next day, Empress Changsun summoned Wei Zheng's wife Pei Shi into the palace, and sighed in front of her that Wei Zheng could "induce the feelings of righteousness and suppress the feelings of the master", and praised him, and at the same time gave him 400 horses of silk and 400 pieces of money to show his praise.

And asked Pei's to pass on the word on his behalf: "I have heard that Xuancheng is upright, and today I have seen it, and I hope that Xuancheng will always maintain such a character." ”

Pei Shi led the queen's reward home, and in the evening, he transferred the queen's praise to Wei Zheng word for word.

After Wei Zheng listened, he was stunned for a long time before he said with emotion: "Your Majesty can have the help of this virtuous emperor, why worry about not being a generation of Ming Jun." ”

"You, use your brain more when you advise later, in addition to some legal principles, there is no need to overkill things in human feelings, these years, if it weren't for the queen helping to persuade Your Majesty, with your stubborn temper, I'm afraid that my head would have already moved." Pei Shi glared at her husband angrily.

The dowry turmoil passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the Flower Dynasty Festival, which was the day of Princess Changle's wedding.

The thirteen-year-old eldest grandson princess is like a water hibiscus, and her beauty is unparalleled.

After she put on her wedding dress, the eldest grandson saw that the childishness on her face had not been completely taken off, but she was still beautiful and beautiful, and her nose was sour and astringent.

She gently held her daughter's hand and choked up: "Changle, after marrying into the eldest grandson's mansion, live a good life with Chong'er......"

"Mother, the son knows that the son will definitely live a good life, you are pregnant, don't be too sad, the eldest grandson's family, that is your mother's family, uncle and aunt, and grandmother, they treat me more than their own daughter, why don't you worry."

Changle's nose was also a little sour, but looking at his mother with a big belly, he really didn't want her to be sad, so he forced a smile and said with a little playfulness.

Li Shimin, who walked outside the door, heard the conversation between their mother and daughter, and unconsciously stopped, his nose was also a little sour, and he waited until the atmosphere inside eased before he walked in.

"Changle, this kid, really looks like you, Guanyin." He looked at his daughter in a wedding dress, and there was a trance in front of him, as if he saw the scene of his wife marrying him for the first time twenty years ago, and he couldn't help but gently hold his wife's hand.
