When the eldest grandson heard this, he couldn't help but have many thoughts in his mind.
"Princess Yuzhang lost her mother when she was young. She was raised by herself. I treat her as if she were my own daughter."
"But Yuzhang is not my own biological child after all. If Yuzhang is married to Qin Ming, then Qin Ming will lose one layer of relationship with the Changsun family."
"Your Majesty must have seen through your idea of wanting Qin Ming to get closer to the Changsun family. Then Your Majesty proposed to let Yu Zhang marry. Does that mean that His Majesty does not want Qin Ming to have this relationship with the Changsun family? In other words, does Your Majesty not want to have this relationship between Qin Ming and the Changsun family? Is the Changsun family too powerful?"
Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on the eldest grandson's back. She knew she had to agree to this proposal, so she smiled at Li Shimin and said:
"Erlang is still thoughtful. Yuzhang's age is indeed more suitable. I will go to the Qin Mansion tomorrow to finalize Yuzhang's marriage."
Li Shimin nodded, then looked at Changsun doubtfully and said:
"Mr. Guanyin, is it too late to go tomorrow?"
Empress Changsun rolled her eyes at Li Shimin and said:
"I'm afraid that if I stay a few days later, that boy might get engaged to someone else."
When Li Shimin heard this, he wondered:
"No way?"
After hearing this, Empress Changsun stood up, walked to Li Shimin, and whispered a few words in a low voice.
After hearing this, Li Shimin suddenly realized:
"You mean the Prince of Hejian County..."
Before Li Shimin could finish his words, Empress Changsun quickly interrupted:
"Your Majesty, I didn't say anything."
The two people talking in the hall were so engrossed that no one noticed that a figure wearing a bright red down jacket flashed past the door of the hall.
Princess Changle walked to her dormitory in despair. Seeing the appearance of Her Royal Highness, several personal maids did not dare to ask questions and could only follow behind her.
The reason why Li Lizhi came excitedly to establish Zhengdian was because she heard from the palace maid that Yuechan was back, so she wanted to ask her mother if she had brought back the arithmetic book written by Qin Ming.
As soon as she arrived at the entrance of the palace, she heard her father and mother discussing how to marry Yu Zhangxia to Qin Ming. This made her happy face instantly filled with sadness.
At this moment, she understood that there was absolutely no hope for herself and brother Qin Ming.
As soon as she entered the dormitory, Princess Li Xiyao of Yuzhang walked up to her and asked excitedly:
"Fifth sister, have you got the book back?"
Princess Changle shook her head, then looked at Princess Yuzhang and said:
"Sixth sister, fifth sister is feeling a little uncomfortable and wants to sleep."
Hearing this, Yu Zhang was a little worried and said:
"Fifth sister, would you like a doctor from the Imperial Medical Office to come and take a look?"
Princess Changle shook her head and said:
"No, just take a nap and you'll be fine tomorrow."
Princess Yuzhang looked at the listless appearance of the fifth sister and said with some worry:
"Then fifth sister, you have a good rest, I will go back first."
After speaking, she looked at several palace maids and said:
"You guys take good care of Fifth Sister and notify me in time if anything happens, do you know?"
"This slave knows."
Seeing several palace maids responding, Yuzhang said goodbye to Changle and left the dormitory.
Princess Changle looked at Yu Zhang's back, her eyes full of envy. She shut herself in the room and looked at the calligraphy Qin Ming gave her for a long time. Finally, she carefully took it down and put it away. In the box.
...
In the fifth year of Zhenguan, on the third day of the twelfth lunar month, at the end of Si Shi, Qin Mansion, Lantian County.
Qin Ming, who had just finished teaching his children, was about to take Zijun and Mou Tu to the institute when Qingwan hurriedly came over with a few people.
When Qin Ming asked, he found out that Aunt Li and Prince Hejian were here. They said they had something to discuss with him and were waiting for him in the study.
So Qin Ming hurried to the Qin Mansion with a few girls.
In Qin Ming's study, Prince Hejian looked at the objects in Qin Ming's study curiously. This was his first time in Qin Ming's study, and he saw many novel things for the first time.
What made him even more curious was that he didn't know why the Queen came to the Qin Mansion today, even earlier than he did, but because someone from the Qin Mansion was there, he didn't ask.
The first thing Qin Ming saw when he entered the study was Sizi sitting on the sofa holding a pastry in one hand and milk tea in the other.
Then came Queen Changsun and Xiao Changxi who were next to Sizi, and finally the King of Hejian County.
He quickly walked up to the two of them and said:
"My nephew, I have met the prince of Hejian County and my aunt."
"My dear nephew, please get up and sit down quickly."
After hearing this, Qin Ming found a separate sofa to sit down. When Sizi saw Qin Ming, he decisively ran to Qin Ming with the pastries, stretched out his hands and said:
"Brother hug."
Qin Ming smiled, picked up Sizi, put him on his lap, and then asked Empress Changsun:
"Auntie, didn't Uncle Li come this time?"
Changsun smiled at Qin Ming and said:
"Well, the house has been busy lately, and your Uncle Li can't get away."
"That's it. I wonder if my aunt and the prince came to my nephew's house to discuss something with me?"
When the King of Hejian County saw Qin Ming looking at him, he glanced at Queen Changsun from the corner of his eye, hesitated and said:
"My dear nephew, my uncle came here today to ask you for some soap to take home? Your aunt likes this soap very much."
Qin Ming was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He didn't know why he felt that Prince Hejian's trip was not just to get a few pieces of soap. But since Li Xiaogong said so, he could only follow his words and continue:
"Uncle Li, you are too outspoken. You can just send someone to my house to pick up this trivial matter. If you make this trip yourself, aren't you going to destroy my nephew?"
Then Qin Ming asked Qingwan to arrange for his servants to bring out a few more boxes of soap and deliver them to the carriage of the Prince of Hejian and his eldest grandson.
After making arrangements, Qin Ming looked at Queen Changsun and said:
"Auntie, are you here because of the soap?"
After hearing this, Queen Changsun picked up the tea cup in front of her and took a sip. Then he looked at Qin Ming and said:
"Auntie is not here about the soap, but before we talk, Auntie wants to ask you a few questions, and you have to answer them seriously."
When Qin Ming heard this, he first put a cake into Si Zi's hand, then straightened his body and looked at Changsun and said:
"Well, aunt, you can ask."
"First question, do you regard your aunt as your relative or elder?"
Qin Ming looked at his eldest grandson who had a serious look on his face. He didn't know why the queen of the dynasty asked this. Could it be that some of his secrets had been discovered? Words such as "travel", "academy" and "gunpowder" flashed through my mind involuntarily.
However, he said with a sincere face:
"My nephew naturally regards his aunt as a relative and elder. As you know, aunt, my nephew's parents died young. Since I met you, my nephew has always respected you."
Queen Changsun nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and then asked:
"In that case, the second question is, are your aunt's words the same as those of your elders when it comes to family matters?"
Although Qin Ming still didn't understand what was going on, he still nodded and said:
"Yes."
"Okay, third question, are you married?"
Xiao Changxi, Xiao Qingwan, and Prince Hejian were all shocked when he heard this.
