To be honest, he actually hates Li Dan.
Looking at the children of Gaozong and Wu Meiniang, Li Hong and Li Xian are considered to have a better reputation. Taiping has a mixed reputation, and Li Xian comes across as a brainless person.
Although these two have more or less problems, we have to admit that people have been tolerant of women since ancient times, especially some film and television works that were randomly arranged and found beautiful women to play the role of Princess Taiping, which made many people All she had was feelings of regret.
As for Li Xian, although he has no brains, he really doesn't care about his wife. At least, this is a man who repays his kindness.
However....
Li Dan....
How should I put it, even if Li Xianshang left a silly impression on people, Li Dan was different. He gave people the impression of a puppet from beginning to end. He was used as a puppet by his mother earlier, and later by his son. If he didn't have a strong son, he might not even be an emperor.
With the impression of these premises, Li Xian felt that his most direct feeling towards Li Dan was that he looked down on him.
What's more, today's Prince Ji's literature is Ming Chongyan, which is a big pit. Without enough height and weight to climb out of the pit, Li Xian doesn't want to take the risk.
Naturally, such thoughts cannot be expressed to the Queen of Heaven.
Trying hard to control his facial expression, Li Xian showed a peaceful smile and replied: "My mother is worried too much. Brother Ji Wang is currently studying, so naturally I can't disturb him."
"Besides, you also know that my son is in the East Palace and is very busy all day long. In order to take the King of England's younger brother with him, I can only bring him to live in the East Palace. The court has already complained about this. If he is brought to the East Palace again, Brother Ji Wang brought him to the East Palace, and I don’t know how he will be impeached.”
When the prince is in the East Palace, he not only has to practice martial arts, but also learn about political affairs. The Queen of Heaven naturally knows this.
She still felt that she could barely accept this answer.
Forget it, it will be a long time in the future. When the prince stops being so busy, he will probably have time to have a good relationship with his youngest brother.
As a queen, unlike ordinary mothers, she only hopes for a good relationship between her brothers. What she fears most is that these children will fight among themselves in the future. She still knew to what extent Li Chengqian and Li Tai fought during the Taizong period. As for the Xuanwu Gate incident, she had overheard it in her early years.
There were only two successions of thrones in the Tang Dynasty, and each time there were changes. This would soon be the third time, and she really didn't want her children to have changes in the third replacement.
Thinking of this, the Queen of Heaven said warmly: "Xian'er, although you are busy, you still have to replace your mother and your father occasionally to supervise the progress of these younger brothers and sisters. The literature of Prince Ji's Mansion Chongyan, whether this person is Taoism, astronomy, or physiognomy, They are all the best beings in the Tang Dynasty. You might as well get closer to him."
Close and close?
Although Li Xian agreed with a smile, his heart was extremely troubled.
At present, this person's interests are tied up with the Queen of Heaven and King Ji. Although for the time being, he complies with the wishes of Li Zhi and the Queen of Heaven and does not speak rudely, but who knows when he will plan to get himself a "Song of the Dragon" What, start speaking for Li Dan?
To be honest, Li Xian himself felt that the one who killed Ming Chongyan was Prince Zhang Huai, because this person was really an eyesore. The emperor didn't trust him, and kept wagging his long tongue around. Naturally, she wanted to kill him when she got the chance.
It's just a pity that Prince Zhanghuai obviously doesn't know how to commit a crime perfectly. If you kill people after just one conflict, who would you suspect if you don't doubt it?
Therefore, Li Xian has decided that now he must have a good relationship with Ming Chongyan, neither too good nor too bad. As for this person, if he gets the chance, he must be killed if he deserves it, otherwise he will suffer endless consequences.
The Queen took Li Xian for a walk for a while and then walked back.
"People like Zhang Daan are all considered talents, but among these people, only Zhang Daan is the most outstanding one. In fact, your father sent these people to you. In addition to letting you win over them, he also I have the idea of testing you to distinguish between loyal and traitorous people, have you discovered it yet?"
Li Xian smiled and said: "My son has already seen that Zhang Da'an comes from a distinguished family and is not picky. Liu Nayan is really a master of flattery. Although I heard that his literary talent is good, looking at his annotations, it is also very good. It’s surprising, but this person really needs to be vigilant.”
"As long as you are human, you will always like to be flattered. Your father specially arranged such a person for you, just to see if you can bear it. This is for my mother. If it were anyone else, no one would be able to do it. Do you know what I told you?"
Li Xian stood still, raised his hands in salute and said, "My mother's love and care will be remembered in my heart!"
Seeing the prince's grateful expression, the Queen smiled and then continued walking back.
It was also the first time for Li Xian and Taiping to eat lobster. They were so full that they sat on the stone pillars and groaned. It was difficult for them to stand up. Seeing this scene, the Queen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she could only instruct the palace maid to boil hawthorn water for the two of them to promote digestion.
After eating the rice and drinking the hawthorn water, seeing that there was still some time in the afternoon, the Queen of Heaven said to Li Xian: "Seeing that there is still some time, you three, go to the Jinluan Hall to pay your respects to your father. Next This time, remember to call Li Dan too, and you all can come into the palace together. My mother will be happiest when she sees you all at the same time."
Li Xian agreed, and took Li Xian and Taiping, who were reluctant to walk, from Mingyi Hall to Jinluan Hall.
Although it was a nondescript thing to ask for greetings in the afternoon, there was a reason for the incident, and I guess the emperor would not blame him. What's more, it's not good to go to the palace to pay greetings to the Queen of Heaven, but not to the emperor!
When he arrived at the Jinluan Hall to sign up for an audience, Jiang Hao came out and spread the word that the saint was discussing matters and it was not convenient for him to receive him.
Meeting in the afternoon?
From Jiang Hao's expression, Li Xian didn't see anything wrong, which showed that the emperor was probably really discussing something, rather than just doing it in the daytime like last time.
Since they were discussing something, it was inconvenient to disturb them, so Li Xian had no choice but to take Li Xian and leave.
As for Taiping, she still has to go to the Queen of Heaven to wait for the painting to be framed and appreciate it.
For the distance from Mingyi Hall to Jinluan Hall, Li Xian took a walking chariot, but when he returned to the East Palace, Li Xian forced him to walk.
During this period of time, Li Xian's belly has shrunk a lot, and he looks less bloated. In order to make him worthy of his efforts, Li Xian had to force him to exercise more.
In the Chongwen Hall, Zhang Daan and others were still annotating the "Book of Han". The work of annotating a book is actually not that simple. After all, they don't have Baidu brother to help. When a person encounters a historical term that he is unsure about, he has to ask others. If everyone present is unclear, he has to look through various classics. The most difficult one requires everyone to read countless books to figure out the meaning.
The original annotations of "Hanshu" were not complete, because they tried to annotate so that anyone who could read could read it completely, so one can imagine how difficult this task was.
The harder the work, the more achievements will be reaped. However, the higher the status, the more lazy one can be.
Li Xian knew very well that even if he was present at the scene, his role would not be as good as that of a small official in Chongwen Hall. At least the junior officials were literate and knew which bookshelf the books requested by these officials were stored on. As for Li Xian, because of his limited knowledge, he could only help flip through books and search.
Since it doesn't have much effect, just go less often. So, after delivering tea to a few people in person, and getting these people to thank him with tears in their eyes, Li Xian decided that it would be enough to go there and show his face every day.
Since there is no need to go to Chongwen Hall to "work", the study of government affairs will continue in the afternoon, so Li Xian sent people to the three provinces to inform them that the classes will continue tomorrow.
At night, after taking a bath and lying on the bed, Li Xian closed his eyes and enjoyed his wife's massage.
In fact, Fang Furong's massage skills are very poor. It is said to be a massage, but in fact it is just kneading, not very strong. Although he didn't feel much, Li Xian showed an expression of enjoyment.
In fact, this is a process of pleasing each other between husband and wife. The quality of the massage is nothing. What makes people enjoy is the two hearts that are close to each other at this moment.
While massaging her husband hard, Fang Furong said: "Husband, you have to push back your martial arts practice time tomorrow."
"Um?"
"Tomorrow is the day when Xiao Xiao and the others enter the East Palace. Although there is only a simple ceremony for Na Liangdi in the East Palace, as the Lord of the East Palace, you still have to accept their kneeling."
"Huh? Kneel down and worship?"
Seeing her husband open his eyes, Fang Furong nodded: "Liangdi's status is equivalent to that of a concubine. You are the head of the family, so they will naturally bow to you. In addition, when they marry into the East Palace, their natal family will give them a dowry. These dowries , is the guarantee for their future survival in the East Palace. If you, the prince, write the reply personally, it will also make their family feel more at ease."
Although when she got married, it was the Queen's decree that she responded to the Fang family, but she knew very well that she was not as good as the Queen.
Knowing that he would soon see his little wife, Li Xian understood why this woman had to give him a massage tonight.
After all, although her husband Na Liangdi didn't say anything on the surface, she was still very panicked in her heart.
Patting Fang Furong's butt, Li Xian said with a smile: "Don't worry, they are all fourteen or fifteen years old. Even if they enter the East Palace, I will not consummate their marriage for a while. Having children at this age, It will be fatal. Besides, we have to wait until you give birth to the child. After confirming the status of the eldest son, I will not be too late to consummate the marriage with them. "
Touching her belly, Fang Furong sighed: "Obviously we have consummated our marriage for so long, but there is still no movement in my belly. Even if there is movement, I don't know whether it is a boy or a girl, alas."
It was rare to hear her complain, so Li Xian smiled and didn't say anything.
My child, it doesn’t mean that hard work will definitely lead to rewards. Many times, luck is the main factor.
It is naturally the most appropriate time to bring up the Dunlon event at this time.
But thinking about his recent frequency, Li Xian had to give up the idea and closed his eyes again.
You have to save some energy, you will have to deal with more than one piece of farmland in the future...
Early the next morning, officials from the Ministry of Rites led gift-giving teams from three families into the East Palace.
When a prince marries a princess, it must be announced to the world. Although it is different from the ordinary people's three matchmakers and six appointments, the rules are also very complicated.
However, for Liangdi, there is not so much emphasis. There was no betrothal gift, just a decree from the Queen of Heaven to send it, which was considered a deal. The person who presided over the wedding was not Zongzheng Temple, but the Ministry of Rites. Although there are special sedan chairs to pick up people at the official's home, when entering the house, you have to go through the side door.
There is no real side door in the East Palace, so sedan chairs are carried in through Guangyuan Gate.
Li Xian sat in the main seat of Mingde Hall, and the first person he met was the stewards of the three families.
It was a big day after all, and the housekeepers from the three families were all dressed in auspicious clothes, and each of them handed over a gift list.
After all, it was his own daughter who flew up the branch, and the betrothal gifts given by the three families naturally made her unable to shudder. Although they are now just called into the East Palace as Liang Di. However, there have been too many such things in the past dynasties, so many people have naturally figured out the rules.
There is a great possibility that my own girl can become a concubine. And after the prince becomes the emperor, it is not impossible that his daughter will become a concubine.
As for becoming a queen….
Such thoughts cannot even appear in discussions between husband and wife. They can only be fantasized when dreaming back at midnight.
Xiao He was actually born in the Lanling Xiao family, and was part of the main line of the clan. Although the Xiao family was not as good as the Five Surnames and Qiwang, it was still one of the Wangmen. Women with the fifth surname are noble. This is something that all the nobles of the Tang Dynasty know. However, the women of the Lanling Xiao family, which is also one of the aristocratic families, are not so in demand.
It can be said that the whole family is honored that the royal family can choose their own women, especially those who marry the prince. Therefore, Xiao He didn't even need to pay much money, and the clan would give him a generous dowry.
After all, if the prince becomes the emperor in the future and there is Concubine Xiao among the concubines, they will be able to hold their heads up a little in front of the five surnames.
The dowry of the Kong family was about the same as that of the Xiao family. Confucianism was the most orthodox knowledge, so the Kong family naturally became one of the top aristocratic families. Although in terms of scale, they are no longer as good as the Five Surnames, but putting aside the messy questions and just talking about status, they are even better than the Five Surnames.
Li Xian was not surprised that the dowries from these two families were richer. In fact, what surprised him the most was Qi He's dowry.
General Yunhui's dowry is almost as high as that of the previous two families.
But after thinking about it, I felt relieved. Qi He's background was specially investigated. It was because he participated in the war to annihilate Goguryeo, and especially had many years of experience in guarding the Western Regions, that he was able to obtain the official position of General Yunhui.
It seems that he made a lot of money in the Western Regions and Goguryeo!
