Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Although there have long been rumors that the heir king Li Dai was negotiating a marriage, Nanny Lu only purchased property for Li Lijun in Taiping Valley of the Qinling Mountains, and did not go to the Zhuangzi of the Sui Palace in Zhongnan Mountain to pay her respects. Even she could hear the news. Things are progressing really well!
Nanny Cui hurriedly approached the old sister: "What's going on? Where did you hear about it? Which lady are you looking at?!"

Li Lijun also stared at Nanny Lu.Although she said she didn't care, she still cared a little bit in her heart.

Nanny Lu smiled and said, "Perhaps people outside don't know about it, but I'm lucky to meet someone who knows me!"

The newly purchased Taipingyu Bieye is less than three miles away from the nearest neighbor, and the fence of the Bieye is less than three miles away, so it is considered a close neighbor.Their family is also a well-known family, it is a branch of the Fan Yang Lu family, several members of the family are officials in the court, and they are also married to the royal clan.The eldest daughter of the concubine of Jiyin County, who is very friendly to Li Lijun, made a marriage contract with the son of this family last month.Therefore, Mrs. Lu found out that the new neighbor was her in-law's niece, so she sent someone to say hello.Nanny Lu also went to Lu's house to greet Mrs. Lu, and took care of it, so that the Lu family would not spread the news at will, so that the Sui Palace could get a letter early and know about the young lady's purchase of a new property.

Mrs. Lu's sister-in-law is nearly thirty years old and has never been married. After the death of her fiancé when she was a girl, she became a nun and became a female crown. Now she serves the eldest princess in Yuzhen Temple.Recently, she went to Zhongnan Mountain with Princess Yuzhen to escape the summer heat. Because her family members also came, she asked Princess Yuzhen for leave, and went home to stay for a while to reunite with her relatives.The news about Sui Wang's visit to the eldest son was actually transmitted by this sister-in-law of the Lu family.

Princess Yuzhen decided to be a matchmaker by chance, and after discussing with her sister Princess Huo Guochang for a long time, she took the latter to Zhuangzi of the Sui Palace to persuade Sui Wang.It is said that the king of Sui has already nodded his head, and now he just wants to persuade the heir king Li Dai to agree to the marriage.

The woman had no objection and put forward her own conditions, but the man had some objections and refused to nod for a long time, wanting to turn around and go back to Chang'an.For this matter, King Sui became "ill" again, kept his eldest son by his side and refused to let him go--
Mother Lu said with deep meaning: "The heir is also thinking of marrying a big girl from a famous family. Not only must she be talented and virtuous, she must also have a large dowry, and her father and brothers must be high-ranking officials. Helping him in his official career. What is the difference between this and daydreaming? There is such a good girl in a famous family, why don't you marry the first married prince and grandson, but give him a widower with a bad reputation as his successor? His stepmother? The family is not a fool!"

However, the marriage introduced by Princess Yuzhen is more reliable.

The woman is the daughter of a famous family, and there are many high-ranking officials in the family, who have been married to the royal family from generation to generation.The woman is also the daughter of the eldest princess, who is well-educated, talented and beautiful.Although she is a little older and is still in her second marriage, she is in good health and easy to bear children. She has already given birth to a son and a daughter for her deceased husband.She married Li Dai, the heir king, so it can be said that she is of the same age and a good family, so it's better to be closer!Not only did it perfectly meet Li Dai's conditions for choosing a spouse, but he also had a lot of experience in managing the backyard. He could restrain his concubine's room by going through the door, and he could directly pick up the upbringing of his children, so that he would not waste any more time on it. After three or two years, give birth to a healthy son for him, so that he will have no worries.If he can make her happy, she can also go in and out of the palace, make friends with the royal family and dignitaries, help with human relations and so on, which will be of great benefit to his official career.

Such a perfect marriage partner is just a little older than him, married for the second time, and carrying two oil bottles.What is this?Compared with those candidates who were rumored to be Li Dai's continuation, this lady is ten times stronger than others!

What's more, Princess Yuzhen was the matchmaker.According to her, she is sure to get a marriage from a saint!

Hearing Nanny Lu's words, Li Lijun immediately guessed the woman's identity, and couldn't help but said, "Could it be...it's Princess Huo..."

Nanny Cui also clapped her hands beside her: "Is that the lady from the Pei family who just got married last year?!"

Nanny Lu nodded and said with a smile: "At the beginning, the king wanted Mrs. Guo Guo to be a matchmaker for him, saying that a daughter from the clan of the Pei family was born. Everyone said Mrs. Guo Guo was coaxing him. This lady Pei met the requirements, but the king still thought she was joking. At that time, Miss Pei's husband-in-law had just died, and the people in Chang'an hadn't heard the news yet, so they didn't take it seriously. Who would have thought that? ? This thing will become true!"

Cui Nanny thought it was funny: "If it doesn't matter whether Mrs. Pei is a second marriage, she is quite in line with the requirements of the heir king. Pei's daughter, a daughter of the clan, has both talent and appearance, and everything is right! Although her father was exiled in the early years, But her brothers are all in official positions, her nephew is also promising, her wealth is not lacking, and if she wants to dowry, she is also generous. It's her temperament... I heard that she is rather stubborn. For the sake of concubine's sake, she had quarreled with her deceased husband for several years. After her husband's death, she fell out with her in-law's family again, so she returned home with a pair of children. If such a stubborn lady married the heir king and became the successor, she would be afraid of those Yang Liuniangs in the backyard. , all have not had a good time.”

Nanny Lu covered her mouth with a smile and said, "I'm afraid the lord is still looking forward to having a stronger daughter-in-law to come in. Logically, the successor king has made too much trouble. If he really wants to make a difference in his official career, Why do you have to marry a capable daughter-in-law to take care of the backyard. Otherwise, in the eyes of outsiders, he can't even take care of his own concubine. Who would believe that he can take care of the state capital under his jurisdiction? I'm afraid he won't even be a governor. Don't worry about leaving it to him?"

Cui Nanny laughed while listening, and said to Li Lijun: "Little lady, you don't have to worry about what this lady Pei will do to you if she becomes a stepmother. A lady from such a wealthy family has the rules and etiquette to support her, so she won't do things too out of line. Besides, she is a second wife, so it is not always good to be too strict with the children left by the first two wives. Just Dalang's body and the eldest lady's temper are enough for her to work, let alone There are also three children, San Niangzi and Silang, who have grown crooked at their roots, and need to be corrected. If the little lady has been living outside, she will not go to her, and she will not cause trouble on weekdays. She just needs to do her duty and not call It's fine for people to pick things up, and I don't have time to trouble the little lady for no reason."

Li Lijun smiled: "I have nothing to worry about. If Aye really marries back a reliable stepmother, who can clean up the mess in the house and restrain Aye from doing anything else, then I will treat the stepmother How about being more respectful? I don’t need her to worry about dowry and marriage for me, as long as I get along with each other politely.”

She asked Nanny Lu: "How far has this marriage progressed? Is it because Aye refuses to agree because she is too old or married again?"

Nanny Lu nodded: "It's because of this. But the prince thinks Mrs. Pei is very good. Except for the second marriage, everything else meets the conditions proposed by the king. If you miss this marriage, I'm afraid you will never find another one." Okay! What's more, this is still a kiss. Mrs. Pei and the heir king are cousins, and Princess Yuzhen is the matchmaker, and they can also ask for a marriage from a saint. Such a great honor, the heir king is still picky What? I'm afraid Mrs. Guo Guo will step in, and it's impossible to find a better candidate."

Now it is not only the King of Sui who is putting pressure on Li Dai, but also the two eldest princesses and the princes of the King of Sui are persuading Li Dai.Although for the sake of the woman's reputation, this matter has not been disclosed to the outside world for the time being, rumors have already spread among the royal family and nearby clans.Princess Yuzheng is said to have sent a letter back to the palace, telling the imperial concubine.Li Dai is under tremendous pressure, who knows how long he can last?
