Chapter 112 The most ruthless imperial family
"What? Give marriage? For no reason, why did Your Majesty suddenly think of giving Du Shaoqing a marriage?" In the Duke of Wei's mansion, listening to the servant's report, the Hongfu girl Zhang Chuchen exclaimed, thinking in her heart that it was not good. Now that the queen is not here, the emperor issued an imperial edict directly, and everyone in the city knew that this matter was probably confirmed.
"I heard that Mrs. Cai went to Yinggong's mansion to propose marriage, and later asked His Majesty to give him a marriage. He should have wanted to be more happy." The man said what he had learned.
It's over, Zhang Chuchen slapped his forehead. Why is this Qi sister so confused? Are you so anxious to find a wife for your son? The ex-daughter-in-law hasn't figured it out yet, and he has to replace him? How can the queen end up now when she comes back?
Zhang Chuchen knew it well. Queen Changsun didn't say it, but was actually satisfied with Du Shaoqing's son-in-law. Now it was rumored that Du Shaoqing married another person, so what could the queen think?
The same situation happened almost at Cheng Yaojin's family and Qin Shubao's family. The two of them also knew about the princess, but when they came to the door to explain this to Qi, Qi was anxious and had already taken his new daughter-in-law to Luoxia Town. How could he have time?
Not to mention these people who are eager to help, Princess Changle may no longer be able to withstand it in the palace at this time.
Emperor Li Er had sent someone to investigate the matter of Luoxia Town Du's family. After the marriage was given, Li Er deliberately came to his daughter Li Lizhi, inadvertently told the happy event, and happily showed off that he was lucky enough to catch a good marriage.
Seeing that his father was so happy, the princess wanted to share it, so she asked which family had a good marriage.
When she heard that it was Du Shaoqing, Duke Lai's Mansion, she was petrified.
Emperor Li Er saw all this and continued to speak unconsciously: "Wu'er, tell me, the second girl from the Wu family is about to get married at the age of fourteen. My father has always wanted to discuss with you. You are nineteen years old. Should you find a good husband to marry? Although my father is reluctant to marry you, he is unwilling to delay my daughter's great years.
Haha, when your mother married me, she was fourteen years old.”
As he spoke, Emperor Li Er fell into beautiful memories.
But these princesses didn't hear a word. At this time, she looked pale and asked with pain, "Father, why did you suddenly think of marrying Dr. Du?"
"Where is my idea of my father? How can I interfere with the marriage of other people's children? It was your aunt, Mrs. Cai Guo, who came to find me personally and asked me to write a document to add joy, so I gave the marriage. This matter was discussed by the two families.
I heard that Dr. Du was very concerned about the second girl from the Wu family, and even his mother had to be taken over to support him."
Li Er is just talking nonsense, just adding fuel to the fire and distorting the facts. Although he felt distressed when he saw his daughter being hit over and over again, it was better to have a short pain than long pain. Today is definitely a good opportunity.
Ignoring the details of Li Er's story, the princess said in a cold tone: "Father, my daughter will not get married."
Li Er, who was not concerned, smiled and said, "I'm just talking nonsense. I know that my daughter is filial, but I'll get married when I grow up. And you will definitely be satisfied with the husband you choose this time."
"Father, my daughter said that I won't get married." The princess' tone increased.
Li Er's smile froze and asked, "Is he still angry about my father for what happened last time? Yes, it was my father who was a little ruthless last time, but that year we had just defeated the Eastern Turks and the national strength was declining. Tubo came here to propose marriage in name, but in fact it was a threat. If the father did not agree to them, our Tang Dynasty would be in danger.
Good daughter, you must understand the father’s difficulties.”
The princess said lightly: "It's over, my daughter has forgotten it, and she has no intention of getting angry. My daughter doesn't get married because she doesn't want to marry.
My father also agreed, and I will no longer force me to get married in the future."
Li Er smiled and calmed down the atmosphere, and said a little angrily: "You child, can you not want to marry for the rest of your life and be single for the rest of your life? That's not possible. When you get older, you have to pick it. If you drag it on, all the good men in the world will be snatched away by others."
The princess should not turn her face and would not say anything more.
"Don't worry, this time my father betrothed you to your uncle's cousin Changsun Chong. You are childhood sweethearts. I promise you will not suffer. My father can rest assured."
Hearing this, the princess frowned and said in surprise: "To cousin? What does it have to do with him? My daughter is boring to him."
"Haha, you are not interested in him, but Xiao Chong has always been in his heart. You have been out for five years, but Xiao Chong, the child, was alone and waited for you for five years. Such friendship is rare.
It is easy to ask for a priceless treasure, but it is rare to have a lover. My daughter, I will definitely marry Xiao Chong after my father’s advice." Li Er explained with great thought.
The princess was so sad that she couldn't say. When she remembered her five years of staying away, she choked up and said, "Father, do you say that I have been away for five years as a trip? Isn't it a shame?"
Hum? Emperor Li Er frowned, "Rareless, are you talking to your father like this?"
"Father, today I won't be asking me to be a lobbyist, right? Please go back and tell him that I, Li Lizhi, will not marry anyone in this life. Even if I want to marry, I will never choose him. Let him lose this heart."
She said this because the princess heard that her husband had fallen in love with someone else, and she was already saddened by love.
No matter how good his temper is, he has been worn out by such a stubborn daughter. Li Er asked back: "If you don't marry Changsun Chong, who do you want to marry? The sons of princes and ministers of the same age are not already married. My daughter of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will not be a concubine. You have no choice, and only Changsun Chong is left."
Hearing his father's explanation, the princess turned her head and asked sarcastically, "So? You have always been thinking about pushing your daughters to the daughters of ministers under your hands to tie them up and win them over?
Haha, after all, you are not for your own country, but our daughters are just bargaining chips for you to maintain the relationship between the monarch and the ministers.”
"You, be arrogant!" Li Er was so angry that he slapped his daughter with his backhand, and five finger marks were instantly pulled out of the princess's face.
"Are you angry and embarrassed when you are told to the pain? Humph, Grandpa Huang is right, the most ruthless imperial family, and you are the most ruthless among the emperors." The princess mocked the emperor with resentment regardless of the bleeding from the corners of her mouth.
When Li Er heard his daughter mention his dead father, Old Li Yuan, trembled all over and raised his hand to hit him again. However, when he saw his daughter stubbornly stretching out her already swollen cheeks to him, Li Er did not hit him again.
He snorted coldly: "The family of heaven is selfless. If you were born in the royal family, you would not have the freedom of ordinary people. If your emperor grandfather had not secretly helped you, what would you think of your fate? Your choices are much better than those in the past, and you are not satisfied?
If you don’t marry the Changsun, who do you want to marry? Marry that country child and bring back that evil seed, let the people of the world see me, Li Shimin?”
