The general's wife choked with sobs: "But as a woman in the general's palace, as a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, my mother hopes that you can go to sea and make contributions, because this is a great cause that will benefit all the people and can benefit the Jiannan, Hexi and Longyou areas." , we will no longer be burned, killed, looted and harassed by Tubo for several years, so that the people on the border who have suffered so much can live in peace for a few days."
"Therefore, although my mother is extremely reluctant and is afraid that you will never come back like your brothers, she will still support you in accepting this position as an overseas strategic envoy."
The general's wife, who understood the righteousness well, put her hand on the kneeling Li Linhuai's shoulder, and sighed: "The general's office receives the salary from the court and is supported by the people of the world. She is responsible for protecting the Tang Dynasty, whether it is killing when playing chess with Tubo. If you are an enemy, you should accept this overseas business envoy. Mother is very happy that you have grown up so well."
"When I gave birth to you, you were no more than an arm long."
The general's wife burst into tears: "Linhuai, you have grown into a man who is upright and can protect the Tang Dynasty from the wind and rain!"
Li Linhuai, who had always been very good at controlling his emotions, felt pain in his flesh when the general's wife's hand on his shoulder tightened. His eyes suddenly became red and swollen, and he was temporarily blinded by water mist.
Thousands of words, in front of the mother who understands the righteousness, finally turned into a choked sob: "Mother!"
"Well, you finally achieved what you wanted. Mother is very happy."
The general's wife loosened her hand on his shoulder: "There is still a period of time from the time the marriage is agreed to until you get married to the princess. These six months are also the year when you are preparing to go to sea. The princess has already drawn a map at the frontier fortress. I think this matter has already been decided in her mind, the princess is smart, you need to discuss this matter with her more."
Li Linhuai knew, why did his father obey his mother's instructions in everything?
It turns out that my mother has always had great righteousness deep in her heart. My father admired her talent, learning and beauty, and even more admired her character and broadmindedness.
The imperial wife of the Tang Dynasty should be just like his mother.
Li Linhuai responded emotionally: "Linhuai will obey his mother's teachings and will treat the princess well..."
As Li Linhuai became an overseas economic envoy during the Jin Dynasty, Xuanzong issued an imperial edict to choose a date to get married, which caused quite a shock in the former dynasty and the harem.
This move made the prince and his family, as well as the courtiers who were worried about Wu Zhou's despotic rule again, heaved a sigh of relief and secretly praised the emperor's smart move.
In this way, Li Linhuai's military exploits in killing the Tubo commander were preserved, and the princess was allowed to leave Chang'an City.
Even if the biological mother of the tenth princess is promoted to a noble concubine and gives birth to a little prince, without her, a smart and wise sister-in-law, there will be no trouble and it will not threaten the status of His Highness the Crown Prince and the other princes.
As for the prince who benefited from this matter, as well as Li Sixu's royal brothers, they felt guilty after receiving the news.
They were very sad. They stood very firm and did not hold any grudge against the Queen of the Fish becoming a noble concubine and giving birth to a prince. The father still promoted Li Linhuai as the overseas envoy.
It goes without saying that after their royal sister gets married to Li Linhuai, she will definitely follow him overseas.
The princes felt guilty at the thought of not being able to protect their imperial sister and stay in Chang'an.
First, the eldest prince and the prince sent the dowry they had saved for Li Sixu to the princess mansion where Xuanzong rewarded Li Sixu. Then, the Qing prince also sent half of the rare treasures he had received from Dalangya. Princess Mansion.
Of course, in addition to the things he got from Dalanya, he also added a lot of things to make makeup for her as a gift to the imperial sister.
The third prince always treated Li Sixu as his own sister, so he inevitably sent him a generous dowry. This dowry was very important and was as valuable as what Yue'er gave him when he got married.
With the imperial brothers starting this, the fourth and fifth princes also came to the princess's residence, and then the sixth and eighth princes, as well as her imperial sister and aunts.
In short, since Xuanzong granted her a marriage to Li Linhuai, and also gave her the newly renovated princess mansion, there has been a constant stream of people coming and going in front of the mansion for more than ten days.
The huge warehouse of the Princess Mansion was quickly filled up to less than half.
Liu Yunying looked at the mountains of good things and sighed: "My little master is very popular, right? The emperor just granted me the marriage, and the princes and princesses are all vying to give gifts."
"This is not counting the extras from the ladies in the palace. There must be a generous reward from the emperor."
Liu Yunying was amazed: "When we get married, I wonder if the warehouse of our princess mansion will be enough?"
"It's enough, how can it not be enough?"
Li Sixu told Liu Yunying: "Go and ask the housekeeper to register all the things sent by the emperor's brothers and sisters, as well as Aunt Yuzhen and Aunt Qingyang. Sisi will choose some of the things and use them as money as preparation. The ships are also used to recruit talents and prepare in advance for going to sea."
"Isn't the Wang family's strong financial support for going to sea?"
Liu Yunying couldn't understand: "The young master's dowry hasn't been warmed yet, so I can't wait to use it as silver. Is it appropriate?"
"Of course it's very appropriate. I won't dispose of it all. I will only select part of it and exchange it for silver. I will also keep some good things prepared by the royal brothers and sisters for me to add to my family's wealth."
Li Sixu explained the reason: "In exchange for money, Sisi plans to help the emperor's brother, sister, and aunt to invest in the voyage. When the spices and nanmu are shipped back from the sea in the future, they will be converted into money and sold, and then proportionally Give dividends.”
"What I mean is, this part of the money is treated as their shares, do you understand?"
She had just been granted a marriage, but her royal brothers and sisters were already filling up the warehouse. They gave her all the good things they had accumulated. How precious was this affection?
Of course, she actually knew that the emperor's brother and sister were so eager to send her dowry as compensation for her leaving the capital.
But they were so kind to her, so she had to reciprocate the favor, so converting part of the dowry they gave her into silver and treating it as dividends from overseas trade was her way of repaying them.
After hearing what Li Sixu said about her plan, Liu Yunying admired her very much: "My young master is so considerate of others. No wonder he is liked by so many people."
"That's why Sisi is the heartthrob of Daming Palace!"
Li Sixu had a bright smile on her face.
Liu Yunying made a childish face: "I always praise myself for always doing my best. Where is your face, little master?"
"You have no future like this. Fortunately, you met a master like me..."
While Li Sixu and Liu Yunying were still making jokes, the housekeeper came in and reported: "Princess, the name of the Tibetan envoy has been revealed and he wants to see him!"
"It's been more than half a month since we received the Feng Banquet. Is this the third time he's come to visit us?"
"After Ming Xilie drove Dalang Ya out of the capital, he used many tricks on the courtiers. However, because of Yu Wenrong's experience and the fact that Dalang Ya shamelessly asked to marry this princess, everyone knew Father wants to leave them alone, so he has no recourse these days."
