Li Shimin, who had finished processing the memorial at the end of the Youshi period, came to the Li Zheng Hall. Seeing the eldest son sitting in front of the writing desk, he stepped forward and said:
"Mr. Guanyin, why are you still writing at this late hour?"
The eldest grandson put down the brush in his hand, stood up, straightened Li Shimin's clothes and said:
"My concubine, I'm just thinking about which words are more appropriate to write for the tea shop. Erlang's affairs for tomorrow's morning meeting have been arranged?"
Li Shimin held his eldest grandson's soft waist and sat down, holding his eldest grandson's hand and saying:
"Well, it's been arranged. The main reason is that Qin Ming's plan is so good. The ministers all support this plan."
The eldest grandson leaned into Li Shimin's arms and said:
"Well, Qin Ming, this kid is indeed very talented and can write very well."
"Well, yes, every time I come into contact with him, I gain something new, and he always brings me some surprises."
"I don't want to reveal my identity yet."
"Since I came to the throne, I have been in Taiji Palace, busy dealing with national affairs. Under the increasing authority, even for people like Xuanling, the auxiliary machine usually shows more respect for me as the emperor."
"Except for you, Guanyin Maid, I haven't had friends or family members who treat each other as equals for a long time."
"Qin Ming has now made up for this shortcoming."
"In fact, I also hope to bring him to the court. After all, I must have such a talent in my hands to feel at ease."
Empress Changsun pinched Li Shimin and said:
"Erlang, I think Qin Ming is a very good child. Please don't mess around."
Li Shimin felt a little painful from being pinched by his eldest grandson, so he hurriedly said:
"Guanyin Maid, you won't be bribed by that boy with just one meal, will you?"
The eldest grandson gave Li Shimin an angry look and said:
"I saw that the child was filial. Erlang, you forgot. After he knew that I was afraid of the cold, without saying a word, he asked us to arrange for craftsmen to go to his house to learn how to make fireplaces and flues."
"And when he saw that Sizi liked to eat his food, he even asked us to send a cook to their house to learn cooking skills?"
"Whether it is crafts or cooking skills, these are things that can be passed down from family to family and are the guarantee for a family to settle down and live. But he did not hesitate to let us arrange for craftsmen and cooks to learn them."
"Can't it prove that he is a good and filial boy?"
Li Shimin was more concerned about the resettlement of the refugees in the Qin Mansion. He didn't pay attention to what Guanyin said at the time. Now he heard that Qin Ming was indeed a good kid.
Moreover, if he becomes an official in the court in the future, he might be able to become Cheng Qian's right-hand man.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin hugged his eldest grandson tightly and said:
"Mr. Guanyin, you can see clearly. Qin Ming is really a good kid. Not only does he treat people with courtesy, but he also has good literary talent and talent."
"After more than ten years of training in the court, he might become Cheng Qian's right-hand man. But I think this guy is very smart. I don't want to think of going to court early in the morning. This is probably an excuse."
"It's still unclear why he doesn't want to enter the court. I thought of a way to tie him to the court."
The eldest grandson has been in charge of the harem for many years, and naturally he can see that Qin Ming does not want to be an official for other reasons. After hearing what His Majesty said, he said curiously:
"any solution?"
Li Shimin raised his head towards Princess Chengyang's palace and said:
"We will observe for a while and investigate Qin Ming. If possible, I would like to betroth Chengyang to Qin Ming."
The eldest grandson thought for a while and felt that this method was feasible. He also liked Qin Ming very much, so he said:
"Chengyang is still young, let's wait a few years. In terms of age, Changle is about the same age as Qin Ming, which is more suitable."
"It's just that my brother told me before that he wants Chong'er to marry Chang Le in two years."
Li Shimin patted his eldest grandson's hand and said:
"Well, I know that the auxiliary machine has told me about this before. I think that this time the auxiliary machine takes the lead in donating money, which can be regarded as a contribution. When Changle turns twelve next year, I will find an opportunity to give her and Chong'er is granted marriage."
Empress Changsun and Changsun Wuji have been dependent on each other since they were young, so the relationship between the siblings is very good. She also watched the eldest son of the Changsun family, Changsun Chong, grow up.
She believed that Changle marrying into the eldest grandson's family would be good for both the eldest grandson's family and Changle. It would be a good thing to have the best of both worlds.
Seeing that His Majesty has already agreed to this matter, he has put an end to his worries.
Li Shimin caressed his wife in his arms and saw that the business had been discussed, so he whispered a few words in his eldest grandson's ear, then picked up the blushing queen and went to the bedroom at the back.
However, neither of them noticed that the goose-yellow skirt was exposed at the door of Lizheng Palace.
The owner of the skirt is none other than the protagonist in the discussion just now, Princess Changle.
Princess Changle was still holding the milk tea she had just made, and she stood there in a daze.
She wanted to let her father, the queen, and her queen have a taste of their craftsmanship, but when she came to the main hall, she heard her father, the queen, and her mother talking about Qin Ming's brother. She did not go in directly. Instead, she wanted to hear what her father, the queen, and her queen said about Qin Ming. .
But she never expected that in the end she heard that her father and mother were planning to marry her to her cousin Changsun Chong, so she was stunned for a moment.
After his father, the emperor, and his wife went to the dormitory, Chang Le slowly recovered and walked towards his dormitory in despair, holding the milk tea.
Princess Changle, who returned to the dormitory, asked all the maids close to her to step back, and walked straight to the dormitory.
She sat blankly in front of the dressing mirror and took out the "Inscription on the Humble Room" that Qin Ming gave her today. She read it for a long time before putting it away and lying on the bed.
If before today, her father and mother had asked her to marry her cousin, she might not have had any trouble in her heart.
After all, several imperial sisters have already been betrothed, and the minister's family may have recruited the minister's second son as their consort. She knew where her identity lay, and it was not up to her to decide whether to marry or recruit a consort.
She grew up with her cousin, who was very kind to her and expressed love to her in private.
But she only has a brother-sister relationship with her cousin and has no other thoughts. She also believes that her cousin really likes her, and she will definitely take good care of herself if she marries her.
But her trip to Qinjiazhuang today dealt a severe blow to her young heart.
Let’s not talk about the various novel things in Qin’s village, nor Qin Ming’s endless strategies.
Qin Ming's talent alone, as well as his calmness and eloquence in facing his father, emperor and mother, attracted him all the time.
Even on the way back to the palace, I kept thinking about Qin Ming's words and deeds, especially when he touched his head and pinched his face.
As these scenes flashed forward, a beautiful figure appeared in Princess Changle's heart.
This caused her to almost rush into the Li Zheng Palace, wanting to tell her father that she did not want to marry her cousin, but thinking of the relationship between her father, the queen, and her eldest grandson uncle, and the usual love and care that her father, queen, and queen gave to her, she Hesitated.
Being filial to her parents and respecting her teachers has been deeply engraved in her body as the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty since she was a child.
She couldn't do that, and she couldn't embarrass her father, queen and mother. She could only keep her budding feelings firmly in her heart.
Then she married her cousin according to the arrangement of her father, queen and mother.
Princess Changle slept very uneasily that night. In her dream, she married her cousin. On the day of the wedding, Qin Ming stood at the viewing gallery, with Princess Chengyang next to her.
At that moment, she felt that her heart hurt so much that tears flowed down her cheeks and wet her wedding dress.
