Chapter 42: The Marriage Gift
"Do you want me to pick you up tomorrow morning?" Li Yu sent Liang Qian to the door of Yi's house, watched the other party jump off the horse, and couldn't help but ask more.
Liang Qian smiled and waved at Li Yu, Sister Gu said that Li Shizi had already entered the court, how could he let him come over every day to pick him up and go to school?
Even if you really want to see him.
"The Yi family also has a carriage, I can take the carriage to school by myself tomorrow morning!" Liang Qian reluctantly refused: "You have to be busy every day, and occasionally you have time to accompany me...... I'm so happy! ”
Liang Qian's considerate appearance made Li Yu feel soft, and he thought about going to the emperor's side, Li Yu didn't say much, only let Liang Qian have a good rest after he went in, and he would pick up Liang Qian to go out to play another day.
Fei Xue and Crimson got the news early in the morning and came to the door to wait. Standing next to the carriage and watching the two people bring Liang Qian into the Yi Mansion, Li Yu turned around and re-entered the carriage: "Turn around and go to the palace!" ”
Cheng Haohan made such a big fuss in the palace last night, I don't know how many people were alarmed, Li Yu and the emperor have a gambling contract, so naturally they want to go to the palace to find the emperor to fulfill his promise.
The carriage drove to the periphery of the palace, Li Yu got off at the door, and Yang Gonggong, the eunuch beside Emperor Sui, immediately greeted him: "Li Shizi!" The emperor already knew that you were coming, and he would have to wait at this gate early in the morning! ”
"I'm tired of Father-in-law Yang leading the way!" Li Yu nodded towards Gonggong Yang, and his temper was very good: "I don't know how the emperor is now?" ”
Gonggong Yang shook his head when he heard this: "It's amazing!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been kneeling in front of the palace for a whole day, and the emperor has not let him get up until today! ”
Li Yu understood.
Cheng Haohan is the crown prince, and the emperor has always been very strict with his teachings. Cheng Haohan's behavior of marrying Yi Pingting no matter what, was already inappropriate for him who was sitting on the throne of the crown prince, and now he is making this matter known to everyone in the palace for a woman, and the emperor can be happy in his heart.
followed Gonggong Yang into the main hall, and sure enough, he saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Cheng Haohan kneeling at the door. Cheng Haohan has been kneeling for a long time since he knelt this morning. The autumn dew was heavy, and the body was covered with dew, and the clothes looked already wet.
Li Yu glanced at him lightly and then withdrew his gaze, and after saluting, he was about to go to the main hall, but he didn't want Cheng Haohan to suddenly stop Li Yu.
"Li Shizi is here for that girl named Liang Qian?" Cheng Haohan asked. These days, there is a lot of rumors in Kyoto about the identity exchange of Liang Qian and Yi Pingting, and Cheng Haohan has heard about it even if he is in the palace.
Seeing that Li Yu didn't answer, Cheng Haohan didn't care, and said to himself: "Huanting told me about that girl!" There is no respect for the elders, no literary talent, and no self-esteem and self-love...... It's really ......."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is cautious!" Li Yu had a cold face and interrupted Cheng Haohan's words: "For a woman I have never seen before, doesn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince feel that he is too rude?" Yi Pingting's words alone convicted others, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really powerful! Some time ago, Princess An Ning and Miss Gu Jia had such a thing in the horse farm, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so powerful, it is better to give full play to his skills! Instead of being like this, behind the scenes, relying on the words of others, to denigrate a person who he has never met! ”
After Li Yu finished speaking, no matter how ugly Cheng Haohan's face was, he walked straight around him and walked into the main hall, and saw Emperor Sui head-on.
"Join Your Majesty!" Li Yu saluted respectfully, and only straightened up after Emperor Sui waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to.
Emperor Sui raised his head and signaled the direction in which Cheng Haohan was kneeling, and said, "You heard it!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, whom I have worked so hard to cultivate, is such a thing! ”
"Humph!" The more Emperor Sui thought about it, the more angry he became, and he didn't care that this was next to Li Yu's junior: "The Four Books and Five Classics have all been read into the dog's belly!" For the sake of a woman, regardless of dignity and humility, regardless of image! Listen to the words of one side behind the long and short of the Taoist! What a waste of all the energy I have spent on him for so many years! ”
Li Yu did not answer.
Emperor Sui was tired after scolding, so he beckoned Li Yu to sit down with him: "You are a person! It's getting more and more ghostly! I didn't know for a while, but I really lost your bet! ”
"It's because the emperor doesn't want to worry about his ministers!" Li Yu said modestly.
Emperor Sui was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "Come on!" Come on! I watched you grow up and didn't know you? Isn't it a marriage contract? I'll write it to you right away! After speaking, Emperor Sui picked up his pen and immediately wrote a marriage letter for Li Yu and Liang Qian!
Summoned Gonggong Su, Emperor Sui instructed: "Make it more solemn, go and announce it!" lest Li Yu and the fart boy at the door come over to me to find something for me in three days! ”
"Emperor Xie!" Li Yu stood up and thanked him with false modesty, so angry that Emperor Sui blew his beard and glared, and told Li Yu to leave quickly, and go home to ask Prince Li to come into the palace to play chess with him.
After Li Yu left, Emperor Sui sat alone in the imperial study to deal with things.
Gonggong Su was sent out to announce the decree, Gonggong Yang went to see Li Yu leave, and Emperor Sui was suddenly left with Gonggong Sun. Gonggong Sun stepped forward to grind for Emperor Sui, and heard Emperor Sui sigh: "I have been cultivating the prince for so many years, but now he is doing this for a woman, it is really in vain for me to think about it." ”
Gonggong Sun raised his eyes and glanced at Emperor Sui, the grinding action in his hand did not stop, and he persuaded: "The emperor is too worried!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still young! ”
Emperor Sui snorted coldly: "Still young? How old does he have to be to be mature? Li Yu is about the same age as him, but now the two of them are very different! ”
Father-in-law Sun was stunned: "Your Majesty said, didn't Li Shizi also make a bet for Your Majesty for Miss Liang?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is your own son......"
Gonggong Sun's next words were blocked in his throat after Emperor Sui raised his eyes and did not say them. Knowing that he had lost his words, Grandpa Sun slapped himself in the mouth: "The minister lost his words!" ”
"That's it!" Retracting his gaze, Emperor Sui instructed Gonggong Sun: "After all, it is my biological son, you go out and let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince go back!" Let's just say I've taken care of it! ”
Only then did Grandpa Sun take the order to leave, and when he turned to go out, he was shocked to find that he was in a cold sweat on his back.
"The queen's hands have really gotten longer and longer over the years!" Looking at the back of Grandpa Sun leaving, Emperor Sui only felt upset. Since the queen sat in her current position, her heart has become bigger and bigger, no wonder the prince has raised such a blind eye!
In the evening, because today is the fifteenth day of the month, it stands to reason that the emperor is going to the queen's palace. Emperor Sui thought about today's events, annoyed by the miscellaneous things on the queen's side, turned around and went to where Song Guifei was, which attracted a lot of attention in the harem.
