After half a month of hard work, I finally got what I wanted!
Bai Song was so happy that he couldn't describe it, and hummed a little tune on the way back to the academy.
But this matter should not be rushed, because Li Jing is not here, and Shu Wang's parents died early, so he can only propose marriage after Li Jing returns to Beijing.
Bai Song planned to hide this in his heart in advance and wait until the last moment to give Shu Wang a big surprise.
Little did he know that Li Yuan didn't understand half of what he said.
He said what was the last name of the girl he liked.
Bai Song replied with the word "Li".
The Li family in Chang'an consisted of two families: Li Jing and Li Ji.
Li Ji's family had no girls of the right age.
Li Jing only has his granddaughter Shu Wang.
When Bai Song said this, he thought that Li Yuan could understand that the person he was talking about was Li Jing's granddaughter Li Shuwang.
But Bai Song forgot about the other Li family.
That's Li Shimin's Li family, members of the royal family!
In Bai Song's mind, he had never thought about being involved with the royal princess, so he didn't think about it in such detail.
But the speaker has no intention, and the listener has intention.
Li Yuan heard Bai Song's request and said that he would give an answer after understanding it. It was an expedient measure.
To Li Yuan, Bai Song's request was extremely bold.
Then who else could the Li family girl be besides Princess Li Xiangnan of Runan? !
Bai Song was recommended by Li Xiangnan, and Li Yuan knew that he had some personal connections with his granddaughter.
Bai Song didn't know that Li Xiangnan didn't seem to go to Xingqing Palace very much, but he told Li Yuan a lot about Bai Song when Bai Song was away.
Li Yuan is someone who has been there, and it is difficult to hide the little girl's worries in his eyes. When Li Xiangnan tells things about Bai Song, his eyes always shine with a strange light.
After Bai Song left, Li Yuan's expression gradually became serious, and he looked back at Xiao Changle who was studying how to make tofu with the palace maids in the distance.
"Li Zhi, come here."
"Grandpa Huang, what's the matter?"
"come here."
"oh."
Little Loli responded and happily ran to Li Yuan's side.
"Grandpa Huang, what's wrong?"
"How is your sister Xiangnan doing lately?"
"How are you lately?" Little Loli didn't quite understand what Li Yuan said, "It's been pretty good lately... No, it's been pretty bad lately."
"Are you worried?"
"What else can I do? I'm just unhappy when I heard that I was going to marry a Turk."
"Yes... Xiangnan wants to marry the Turks... No wonder he wants me to help him propose marriage."
"Proposing marriage? Who can I help?" The little girl became excited and became excited.
"Bai Song."
"Bai Song! Bai Song asked the emperor to propose marriage to his father. Is he going to marry his sister?"
Li Yuan took a deep breath and nodded: "I'm afraid that's what happened."
The little Loli's eyes widened, as if she had heard some exciting news. She clenched her little hands together into fists: "Great!"
"That's great?" Li Yuan was confused.
"Grandpa Huang, my sister has fallen in love with Bai Song a long time ago! Please help me for once. My sister doesn't want to marry a Turk at all!"
"Xiang Nan really likes the Bai Song Dynasty?"
"Yes! Even though sister doesn't say it, even Li Zi can understand it, so she must like her very much. Grandpa Huang, if you tell me, my father will definitely change his mind."
The little Loli was very excited and kept urging her.
Li Yuan frowned slightly and said quietly: "What do you know, little girl? This matter is by no means as simple as you think."
"Grandpa Emperor, I don't understand. My sister married a Turk to win the hearts of the Turks, but why should I sacrifice my sister's happiness? There are other ways to win over the Turks, but my sister can only marry one person. Besides... besides, the Bai Song Dynasty I have long been my sister’s subordinate..."
"Under the skirt? What nonsense are you talking about!"
The little Lolita was also impatient and said what she shouldn't have said. Seeing Grandpa Huang's serious expression, she was too frightened to explain, so she just said something else.
Li Yuan fell into deep thought. He didn't expect Bai Song to give him such a big problem.
This is not only a verbal promise to Bai Song, but also related to the happiness of his granddaughter and the long-term peace and stability of the two peoples.
Finally, Li Yuan thought of another level.
If he opens his mouth, will his prince think about his father's face and change his decision?
If even the imperial doctors dare to comment that the Supreme Emperor has no right to speak, the world must have thought that the Supreme Emperor has become a mere decoration, right?
Li Yuan clenched his fists. He suddenly wanted to know whether he still had the right to speak.
Maybe this incident was just a test between father and son.
Thinking of this, Li Yuan's eyes became more worried, but there was some imperceptible resentment hidden in the worry.
…
In the palace, a group of Turkic envoys had just left.
Turks have been hesitating for a long time about the choice of princess's marriage.
Mainly because I heard that the princess was very repulsive to the marriage. In order to take care of the princess's emotions, the Turks had been discussing and selecting internally for a long time, but there was no conclusion yet.
Although the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty said that the candidate was decided internally by the Turks, and according to the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, there was no need for the princess to be satisfied.
But as a surrender, the Turks should have to think twice, especially after replacing Jieli Khan.
The new Jieli Khan is more diplomatic and less arrogant than the previous Jieli Khan.
After taking office, he quickly established a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty court.
It's just that the reputation of the Turks among the people is too bad, and it will take some time to change the image among the people.
Today will be October.
The wedding should not be postponed any longer, so the Turks sent a team of envoys into the palace to discuss it.
The candidate for the Prince Consort was finally decided.
The leader of the Turkic tribe, Khan of Heaven personally named Khan of Stars.
Xingchen Khan is the highest candidate under the Sky Khan and has a distinguished status. For him to marry the princess can fully demonstrate the Turkic people's respect for the Tang Dynasty, and it is also worthy of the princess's noble status.
And what the Turks did not explain is that Xingchen Khan is Han!
Since the princess doesn't like Turks, she will definitely be satisfied if she chooses a Han husband.
In fact, the Turks also attach great importance to this wedding. They have the same idea as Li Shimin, as long as the wedding can go smoothly.
The Turks are also afraid that the princess will be unruly and cause trouble if she gets married, which will be difficult to deal with.
The heads of the tribes discussed and decided that Xingchen Khan was the best candidate. Not only was he Han, but he was also good-looking, and there were many Han girls who didn’t like him.
It's just that they want to keep it secret. The Turks don't want Xingchen Khan's identity as a Han to be exposed, which would be bad for the Turks.
Li Shimin had never met this mysterious lord of the grassland, but it was not necessary to meet him. It was enough to hear that he was a young and handsome man.
After some discussion, the Turkic envoys left. The candidate was finalized today, and the wedding date will be chosen the next day.
The news soon reached the princess's ears.
The door of the princess's palace quickly closed, and subtle sobbing came from inside.
Soon, Li Lizhi ran over, pushed aside the palace maid guarding the door, and shouted when she reached the courtyard: "Sister, open the door quickly!"
"Princess Changle, the princess said she doesn't see anyone now!"
"Sister, open the door quickly, I have great news! Bai Song is coming to propose marriage!"
