the other side.
Inside the Prince Wu's Mansion.
"Concubine, why are you here?"
Li Ke looked at Concubine Yang at the door, a little surprised.
Concubine Yang was actually able to leave the palace, and even came to his place, which really surprised him.
"I haven't been to your house for a long time. My mother-in-law came to see you."
Concubine Yang's visit was not carried out with much fanfare.
There was only one personal maid with her, and no one else.
"Mother, how are you doing recently? From my father's side..."
Li Ke exchanged a few pleasantries as usual.
"Your Majesty came to Tianhua Palace yesterday."
Speaking of this, Concubine Yang's face suddenly filled with a smile.
"Count the days, Ke'er, you will be an adult in a few months."
"Roughly the same."
Li Ke nodded.
In his previous life, he was already past middle age.
I no longer have any obsession with things like adulthood.
"Your Majesty has found a marriage for you."
Concubine Yang took Li Ke's hand and said happily.
"I've seen that girl too. She's very handsome and has a good figure. She's even better than my mother back in the day. You're a lucky boy."
"..."
The expression on Li Ke's face suddenly froze.
As a child of the royal family, he has no control over marriage matters, and he knows this.
I just didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.
"What, are you shy?"
Looking at Li Ke's expression, Concubine Yang seemed to have misunderstood something.
"Ke'er, you're not young anymore. It's normal to think about marriage in advance."
"Mother, that's not what I meant."
Li Ke shook his head.
After a moment, he asked hesitantly.
"Can I ask...who is that girl?"
As the third prince of the Tang Dynasty, his status is certainly not as good as that of Li Chengqian or Li Tai, but not everyone can be worthy of it.
Marriage in this era pays attention to being well-matched.
There are only a few people in the family who have a lot of money and are of the right age.
Most of them were characters who had appeared in history books. If he knew about it in advance, he would be mentally prepared.
"She's a girl from the Fang family."
Concubine Yang said.
"Master Fang is very satisfied after hearing this. When you come of age and find a good and auspicious place, he will marry the daughter of their family to you, and your mother's worries will be solved..."
Listening to Concubine Yang's endless words, Li Ke's forehead was already covered with cold sweat.
His current mood can no longer be described as terrifying.
Damn it, what kind of evil did I commit in my last life, why can’t I live with the Fang family?
To be honest, Fang Xuanling, as the left prime minister of the government, has no problems either in officialdom or personal morality.
But the ones in his family are really weird.
Laofang's first wife is the famous "jealous" lady in history.
Because the prime minister had done so much, his official position had reached its peak.
His Majesty Li Er had no reward, so he thought about giving him a few rooms for concubines.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Fang refused to agree. According to the punishment for "jealous women" in "The Female Precepts", Li Shimin gave her a glass of poisonous wine with a wave of his hand.
But I didn't expect Mrs. Fang to drink it all without changing her expression.
Of course, the poisoned wine couldn't be real.
For a person like Li Er who values reputation more than anything else, he would naturally not do something that would make him infamous for thousands of years, such as killing a loyal woman.
Seeing that there was no other way, I had to stop thinking about taking a concubine for my old house.
The poisonous wine was later confirmed to be vinegar from the kitchen.
The word "jealousy" has also stayed in the long history of Mrs. Fang's reputation.
Logically speaking, the Fang family is a scholarly family, coupled with my mother's strong character.
Fang Xuanling's eldest son Fang Yiai, not only how outstanding he is, his outlook on life should be much more normal than others.
but it is not the truth.
This man can be said to be the first tauren in feudal society, and also the most famous one.
After Princess Gaoyang's affair with Monk Bianji came to light, not only did he not divorce his wife, and of course Li Shimin wouldn't let him do it, but he always put in good words for her.
Li Ke didn't know whether Gao Yang was moved.
It is more likely that, like most licking dogs, they only moved themselves.
And what happened to him was that after Li Zhi came to power, he accompanied his wife to rebel when they disagreed, and then lost his life.
It can be said that apart from Fang Xuanling, there is no normal person in the Fang family.
Li Ke didn't know what to do with his daughter.
But he didn't dare to gamble. No matter how good his wife was, could it be more important than his own life?
"Mother, this..."
Li Ke controlled himself and tried his best to smile.
"Is there still a possibility of rejecting this marriage?"
"What, you're not satisfied?"
Concubine Yang was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but said.
"Or is it that, Ke'er, you already have someone you like in your heart? Tell me and let my mother-in-law help you control your eyes."
"it's not true."
Li Ke shook his head.
"It's just that the thought of spending my whole life with a woman I've never met makes me feel a little uncomfortable."
"Alas...there is nothing we can do about this."
Concubine Yang sighed lightly.
"As a member of the royal family, many things cannot be decided by yourself. Fang Xuanling is the most important minister under your father's throne. His face is too important for you, and not even Changsun Wuji dares to refute it."
"If the dust is not settled, maybe things will turn around. But now that the parents of both parties have met, had a banquet and drank tea, and then regretted it, where will you let the Fang family and Miss Fang put their face?"
"Ke'er, some things are just like this. Your father and I have only met each other a few times, and we have already made a lifelong commitment. You are lucky, that girl from the Fang family is a good girl."
"Listen to my mother's advice and let's do this. There is no one better than her in the entire Tang Dynasty."
What Concubine Yang said was extremely pertinent.
Li Ke thought for a while and realized that this was indeed the case, so he could only nod his head.
"Mother and concubine, I know this."
"That way, I feel relieved."
Concubine Yang smiled happily.
"If there is a girl you really can't let go of, take advantage of this period of time before adulthood to explain to them that you still have a long life, so don't leave any regrets for yourself."
"Really not, concubine."
Li Ke couldn't laugh or cry.
As he spoke, he suddenly froze.
The figure of the woman he met in the garden of Qianqing Palace slowly appeared in front of his eyes.
"You still owe me a poem!"
The girl smiled sweetly, causing ripples in Li Ke's heart.
"Do you really have no regrets?"
Li Ke asked himself this.
Seeing his appearance like this, how could Concubine Yang, a person who has been here, still not understand?
"Okay, you decide for yourself, I'll leave first."
Li Ke reacted.
"Mother and concubine, I will send this to you."
"No need, my mother-in-law is not at the point where she can't walk yet."
