That night, when Li Daozong and the others were camping in a certain place, Li Yan felt very uncomfortable in her stomach. She went out several times in one afternoon, and even her face, which was originally flushed by the cold wind, was a little pale.
"You said you...hey, I'll drink this glass of water tomorrow." Li Daozong sighed. There was no one else in the felt tent, so Li Daozong just said it.
Li Daozong is not a fool. There are some methods that he would not have thought of before using them, but when he uses them, of course Li Daozong will understand, but he will not say it or expose it. To be honest, he believes that if Li Ke was here, he would definitely drink this in person. glass of water.
"No, the effect of your drink is not as good as mine. Among human senses, the strong contrast between beauty and ugliness, nobility and baseness, purity and filth is the most stimulating to people's senses. I am a beautiful woman, the wife of His Highness King Qin "Secretary, and I'm all dressed up cleanly, that glass of water has the best effect." Li Yan said softly, "Now that I'm here, I have to do my best."
"Don't worry, Aye. I'll be fine if I need hot water tomorrow. They have cold water in their house today, so I'm a little upset." Li Yan comforted Li Daozong.
There were no tools for keeping warm in this era, so it was good enough that the water the herdsmen usually stored in their homes was not ice cubes, let alone hot water. She would just remember to ask for hot water next time, and wait a little longer. The same goes for freshly boiled water.
Li Daozong was silent. Looking at Li Yan lying there, Li Daozong sighed. Although she was not his biological daughter, Li Daozong had always raised her as his biological daughter. Seeing this, how could Li Daozong not feel distressed.
It is true that women in ancient times had little status and were not welcomed, but this situation did not exist among the legitimate daughters or even concubines of wealthy families.
Just as there is a saying that only rich people have the opportunity to pursue pure love. Similarly, when rich people solve their survival problems and pursue spiritual pursuits, family love is also a kind of spiritual pursuit.
You don't have to worry about these troubles when you have enough food and clothing. It's normal to feel heartbroken when you meet a daughter you like.
Many people may say, why do people like Li Shimin marry off his daughters when they are twelve or thirteen years old? Is this called liking?
But we have to consider the background of the times. People are limited creatures with limited thoughts. When everything around you and the education you receive says that this thing is right, your subconscious will naturally not feel that there is anything wrong.
Is it outrageous to get married at the age of twelve or thirteen? Haha, more than a thousand years later, in 2022, in so-called civilized societies abroad, guess what the legal age for marriage is? I guess you can’t guess? You can go and search, the lowest age for men and women is 9 years old, others are 12 years old for men and women, 14 years old for men, 12 years old for women, 14 years old for men and women, etc. There are many.
Outrageous? Modern civilized society? It's illegal in China, but marriage is legal.
Therefore, in civilized society more than a thousand years later, there will be scenes of couples fighting because they like to watch different cartoons. Now if we move the time forward more than a thousand years, will Li Shimin marry a daughter when he was twelve or thirteen? Do you understand?
Marrying a daughter at the age of twelve or thirteen is different from not loving her daughter. There is a saying about Li Shimin in later generations, saying that Li Shimin was not a daughter slave at all. He did not like his own daughter, and all his daughters were used by him for marriage. .
So the question is: His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty Li Shimin, who was elected as the Khan of Heaven by many grassland peoples, who can his daughter marry in this Tang Dynasty? Could it be Li Xiaojiu?
People are always used to defining everything with their own default concepts. When there is a conflict with people's default concepts, most people's first reaction is not to find a way to verify it immediately, but to object. sound.
So it was normal for Li Daozong to feel sorry for Li Yan. But looking at his daughter's eyes that were painful but still bright, Li Daozong knew that whatever he said was unnecessary.
He suddenly had the urge to compete with His Highness the King of Qin.
Lying on the leather mattress in the tent, Li Yan opened a book by the light of the fire. Li Daozong paused and suddenly asked: "Yan'er, do you remember your life experience?"
Li Daozong's question caught Li Yan off guard, causing her hand to turn over the book to pause. Seeing Li Yan's performance, Li Daozong sighed. Li Yan had never shown it in all these years. Li Daozong thought she had forgotten. But things are going very wrong with Li Yan recently.
"Daughter, I remember." Li Yan said softly.
"Hey, after the new year I will contact a friend of mine from the Li family in Zhao County and ask her to adopt you as my adopted daughter." Li Daozong sighed.
Li Yan's originally pale face quickly turned red, as red as if it could drip blood. She said softly: "Aye...is that okay?"
Li Daozong: "..." So have you actually thought about it a long time ago? Didn't you even refuse it politely?
"What can I do?" Li Daozong couldn't help but ask.
Li Yan: "..."
"Okay, okay, I don't know if you can, but that's all Aye can help you." Li Daozong sighed, and then couldn't help but stretched out his hand to touch Li Yan's head. His daughter has grown up. Big.
…
Li Tai was allowed to live in Liangyi Hall because his father rested in Lizheng Hall yesterday. He heard that he would go to Sange's place for training in two days, and then he might go to Lishan Mountain.
Lying in the side room of Liangyi Palace last night, Li Tai didn't even know what time he fell asleep, because everything always felt too dreamy.
In the early morning, Li Tai was still dreaming. He dreamed that he had inherited the throne, but for some reason, suddenly an evil dragon roared: "Get up", and then he was swallowed by the evil dragon, and then he woke up with a fright. .
After waking up, Li Tai saw Chang Lin standing not far away.
"Your Highness, it's time to get up." Chang Lin said calmly.
"Oh, what time is it?" Li Tai felt a little tired and looked outside. It seemed still early.
"At four o'clock in the morning." Chang Lin said softly.
Li Tai was a little confused. Didn't his father get up so early during the last dynasty? It’s only half an hour (ancient hourly workers called an hour a species. After the new Western time was introduced into the country, most people called an hour a big clock, while hourly workers called it a “clock”. This This is how one hour later came to represent an hour).
"Are you getting up so early? Is it still dark?" Li Tai asked doubtfully.
"His Majesty often says that as the king of a country, a gentleman should be cautious in his independence and not deceive the secret room. He should humble himself and not deceive his heart. Strict self-discipline is the most basic thing a king can do." Chang Lin said.
"Furthermore, after Your Highness got up, His Majesty told you that you should go outside to practice martial arts properly and keep fit. Your Highness, your body is too fat."
"Practice martial arts?" Li Tairen was stunned. Of course he knew the benefits of strengthening his body, but he couldn't do it!
"Yes, please, Your Highness. Duke Zheng is already waiting outside the palace gate. He will wait for Your Highness to ask to see you after you get up." Chang Lin nodded.
Li Tai: "..."
