Empress Changsun withdrew her eyes from the backs of the girls and said to Yue Chan in front of her:
"Yuechan, you should also go down and rest."
After hearing this, Yuechan bowed respectfully and said:
"It's your Majesty, please leave."
When Yuechan also left the Lizheng Hall, Queen Changsun looked at the empty hall, with a flash of struggle in her eyes.
Changsun Wugou, as the queen of a country, has been in charge of the harem for many years, and her ability to observe people's emotions is much better than some of the veterans in the court.
Just now, she saw a trace of sadness on her daughter's face.
Coupled with the surprise and excitement she inadvertently revealed when she heard Qin Ming's news during the day.
It was not difficult for her to guess that her eldest daughter might have a crush on Qin Ming.
As for the sadness at the end, she probably knew that as the eldest princess, it would be difficult for her to get together with Qin Ming.
In fact, with the talents and potential Qin Ming has shown now, it is not that he is not worthy of the princess, but his current status is a bit low and does not meet the standards of royal marriage.
Although His Majesty had already mentioned to her before that if possible in the future, he would betroth Chengyang to Qin Ming.
She and Your Majesty still need to observe Qin Ming again. If Qin Ming can have a place in the court, she will consider recruiting Qin Ming as Chengyang's consort.
As for beauty, she still wanted to marry her to Chong'er.
And Chong'er, that kid, has liked Changle since he was a child.
In addition, my brother wanted to strengthen the relationship with the royal family through marriage and increase the foundation of the family.
After all, the eldest grandson's family is his natal family.
Li Zhi's eldest grandson is aware of her temperament. She has a gentle temperament and has been familiar with "The Female Ring" since she was a child.
Maybe when Lizhi and Chong'er get married, she will slowly forget about Qin Ming.
Here Zhangsun is thinking about whether it is time to finalize the marriage between Lizhi and Chong'er as soon as possible.
The maid's voice came from the door.
"My servant pays homage to Your Majesty."
"Hey, it's so late, why is Erlang here today?"
Empress Changsun thought this way, then she stood up and saw Li Shimin walking into the hall wearing the down jacket embroidered with red carp and his face glowing red.
The eldest grandson stood up quickly, greeted Li Shimin with a smile and said:
"Erlang, what happy thing happened?"
Li Shimin laughed and hugged Queen Changsun's waist.
"Ms. Guanyin understands my thoughts best."
After saying that, he kissed the eldest grandson on the face.
Although Changsun felt sweet in his heart, he was still angry on his face. He pushed Li Shimin and said:
"Erlang, you are the emperor now, so you must pay attention to your words and deeds."
Li Shimin laughed and said:
"Well, I'll just be careful in the future."
After saying that, he put his arms around his eldest grandson's waist and sat on the couch beside him.
After Empress Changsun sat down, she remembered that Li Shimin had not answered her own question before she said angrily:
"Erlang, you haven't said why you are happy yet?"
Li Shimin looked at Empress Changsun's angry look, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.
Since he ascended the throne, it has been a long time since he saw his eldest grandson's appearance as his youngest daughter.
Seeing that Changsun didn't get a reply and started to glare at him, Li Shimin quickly kissed Changsun on the mouth.
In order to avoid being "blamed" by his eldest grandson, he hurriedly said:
"That boy Qin Ming may really be my lucky general. He has made great achievements again this time."
The eldest grandson nodded when he heard this and agreed:
"Well, this kid is really good. This time I discovered the problem of the gathering place.
He also gave a more complete set of methods to prevent and control the plague, which was indeed a great contribution. "
Li Shimin held his eldest grandson tightly, letting her lean into his arms and said:
"Guanyin Maid, you don't know something. This boy has more than these achievements."
The eldest grandson frowned when he heard this and said doubtfully:
"Did Qin Ming tell you something else later?"
When Li Shimin saw this, he no longer concealed it and told his eldest grandson what Qin Ming had said about leaving him behind.
Changsun pondered for a while after listening.
"Alcohol really has the effect of healing wounds?"
Li Shimin said:
"I've asked the Tai Hospital to verify it with alcohol. I think the results will be available in the next two days."
"But since this alcohol was made by Master Miaoying, it should have the effect Qin Ming said."
Changsun nodded and said:
"Well, it's normal for the medicines developed by masters like Master Miaoying to have such miraculous effects."
"By the way, Erlang, you just said that Qin Ming wants to partner with us in the brewing and alcohol business? Will the share be the same as the tea house this time?"
Li Shimin was a little depressed when he heard this and said:
"When I talk about this, I get angry."
"Where did Erlang say this?"
Li Shimin then told Qin Ming how he met Cheng Chumo and was invited by the Cheng family to visit Cheng Yaojin.
The eldest grandson frowned when he heard this, was silent for a while, sighed and said:
"After this incident happened, I learned about it from Yuechan."
"I also summoned my brother and Huan'er into the palace and scolded them."
"My brother also promised at that time that he would strictly control the children of the family in the future."
"It's just that I didn't expect that what happened that day would have such an impact."
Li Shimin patted his wife on the back and said:
"I was a little depressed at first, but when I think about it carefully, it's not a bad thing. If I make good use of it, it's actually a good thing."
"And Zhijie has always been loyal to me."
"However, it is still not safe for Cheng Zhijie to participate in this business alone. I will find an opportunity to talk to Zhijie tomorrow."
When Queen Changsun saw His Majesty, she had no intention of blaming Changsun Huan anymore, and she felt relieved.
As for Li Shimin's next words, she naturally understood them.
The art of the emperor is actually the art of balance. If you want to achieve balance, the best way is to let other families participate in this business.
Originally, she wanted to say a few words for her brother, but after thinking about it, she realized that the eldest grandson's family was already the one to talk about the matter for the Guanlong nobles.
Participating in this business may not be a good thing for the eldest son's family, so he suppressed his thoughts.
At this time, Changsun thought again, since other ministers would be involved in the brewing business in the future, he should reveal his identity to Qin Ming.
Thinking of this, she asked:
"Erlang, since Qin Ming already knows Duke Lu and the Prince of Hejian County, has Erlang revealed his identity to Qin Ming?"
Hearing this, Li Shimin glanced at his eldest grandson meaningfully and said:
"It's not the right time yet, at least we have to wait until we decide on the share of the brewing business with that kid.
"Based on that boy's character, I guess this time he will propose to let some members of the royal family join the family just like last time."
When Queen Changsun heard this, she immediately understood Li Shimin's intention and burst out laughing.
He patted Li Shimin on the shoulder and said:
"Erlang, you are so bad."
"I, there are worse things."
After saying that, Li Shimin stood up, picked up his eldest grandson from his waist, and strode to the bedroom.
Not long after, the creaking of the wooden bed was heard in the dormitory.
