Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 152 Non-toxic and not a husband (1)

"Your Majesty has a decree to declare Zhou King Li Xian, Yin King Li Xulun and Princess Taiping to meet at the Qianyuan Palace."

Li Xian and the others arrived in front of Luoyang Palace, and shortly after handing over the sign, the eunuch Gao Hesheng led two young eunuchs and hurried out from the palace gate, proclaiming Gaozong's oral order in a dragging manner.

"My son and I will give you an order to thank you."

Although it was just a verbal order, Li Xian and Li Xulun still thanked them meticulously in accordance with the regulations of receiving the imperial decree, but Princess Taiping didn't care so much, and before Li Xian stood up straight, she relied on her like a bird. On Li Xian's arm, the little mouth curled up impatiently: "Seventh brother, hurry up, go, go to the palace to see father and mother."

This girl is really spoiled!Li Xian glanced at Princess Taiping who was hanging on his arm like a gourd, and smiled helplessly, but there was nothing he could do about this little girl who was so proud of her. Why is the girl so clingy to herself? She simply ignored her and let her wriggle on her arm. She nodded apologetically at Gao Hesheng and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Gao."

"Don't dare, please, Your Highness."

Gao Hesheng obviously didn't understand why the always mischievous little Taiping got so close to Li Xian. Seeing that little Taiping was hanging on Li Xian like a naughty monkey, he felt amused, but in front of these masters , Gao Hesheng didn't dare to be presumptuous, he could only hold back a smile, and made a "please" gesture.

"It's so long-winded, let's go, let's go."

Little Taiping gave Gao Hesheng a dissatisfied look, curled his lips angrily, and didn't care whether Li Xian was annoyed or not, he rushed into the palace gate by pulling Li Xian's arm, chattering like a little magpie all the way Stop, Li Xian's head almost exploded due to the quarrel, but there was nothing to do, he could only perfunctory with a wry smile, fortunately, he walked through the Xuanwu Gate, which was next to the inner forbidden, not far from the Qianyuan Hall. It's too far away, even if you bear it, it's over.

"The sons pay respects to the emperor father and the queen mother."

As soon as the group entered the Qianyuan Hall, they saw Gaozong and Empress Wu sitting side by side on the front wall. Li Xian didn't dare to neglect, shook his hands lightly, broke away from Princess Taiping's pull, and rushed to catch up Go forward and pay homage respectfully and respectfully.

"Xian'er is here, okay, okay, okay, come on, get flattened, flattened."

Seeing that Li Xianren had arrived, Gao Zong's pale face instantly flushed with blush, and he stood up from the bed in great excitement, raised his hands, and raised his voice one after another.

"I thank my father, Emperor Long En."

Feeling Gao Zong's excitement, although Li Xian was calm by nature, his eyes became wet involuntarily, he thanked Gao Zong with sobs, stood up slowly, and looked at Gao Zong excitedly.

"Xian'er has grown up, Mei Niang, look, this child has not been seen for a few years, and he is already a proud man, okay, okay."

Gao Zong loved his sons very much. Seeing that Li Xian was tall, strong and full of masculinity, he fell in love with him 12 points. He looked at Li Xian with a smile for a long time, then turned his face and smiled Said to Empress Wu with a calm face.

"Yes, it is really a blessing to have such a beautiful child." Gao Zongfang turned his head, and Empress Wu immediately showed a gratified smile. Elderly, it's time to get married, the so-called choosing a date is worse than bumping into it, taking advantage of Xian'er's festive spirit of new arrival, how about a double happiness?"

"Okay, okay, Mei Niang's words are very in line with my wishes, so let's do it!" Gaozong has always been afraid of internal affairs, and rarely dared to refute Empress Wu's words. Moreover, in Gaozong's view, betrothal to Li Xian It's a good thing, so I won't object to it, so I made a conclusion with a smile.

"Your Majesty, there are three suitable candidates, all of whom are good matches for Xian'er, and I beg your Majesty to make a decision." Seeing that Emperor Gaozong agreed to the request, Empress Wu immediately smiled brighter, and said softly said a word.

"Ah, it's up to the empress to make up her mind on this matter, and I'll be sure." Gaozong was very excited, but he thought he was not good at choosing a wife, so he simply shifted the responsibility to Empress Wu.

"I am grateful for your Majesty's trust, but this matter is very important. If there is a bad candidate, it will not be a waste of Xian'er's life. I really dare not make decisions on my own." Empress Wu did not immediately agree, but declined in a desperate way. .

"It doesn't matter, I can trust Mei Niang's vision, so it's settled." Gao Zong laughed and waved his hand, making a bold conclusion.

"Forget it, since it was entrusted by His Majesty, I will try my best to do it." Empress Wu did not refuse this time, and nodded with a smile in agreement. Then, she pretended to ponder for a moment, and then continued: "Your Majesty The three candidates were all carefully selected by the internal servants, and their family background and appearance are not bad, but according to my concubine's appearance, Ping'er, the second queen of Wang Cheng's family, is dignified, graceful and rich, and has a strong body, which is suitable for her. The appearance of a man, why don't we just settle for this woman?"

"Okay, as long as Mei Niang thinks it is good, I have no objection." Gao Zong was a person who had no idea. Since Empress Wu said so, he had no reason to be inappropriate, and he agreed very quickly. Feeling a little uneasy, he turned to look at Li Xian and said, "Does Xian'er have any opinions on this?"

Opinion?The opinion has grown, and Li Xian now has the heart to kill people—as soon as he heard the news about the candidate, Li Xian had ordered Luoyang's confidantes to conduct a thorough investigation, and had already taken the roots of the three families together with the three Everyone knows the woman's character and appearance clearly, so she knows what kind of person Wang Ping'er is. Empress Wu said that she has a strong body and bones, which is a good reputation. To put it bluntly, she is a fat pig. It's even more pungent to the extreme, it's really the best trash, if you really want to marry and go home, let alone the rest, you'll be disgusted to death just looking at it!

It is true that the marriages of political figures are generally a means rather than an end, especially the marriages of princes and princesses. Naturally, Li Xian has been prepared for this point, but no matter what, Li Xian can't find it. Just go home with a Wuyan, but this one looks like Wuyan, but he doesn't have the ability to be Wuyan, let alone Wang Cheng's family is just a dog raised by Empress Wu. However, he had to be careful to put this in-law behind his back, no matter how uncomfortable he was, it was not the way to find it.

be opposed to?useful?Obviously useless, Li Xian has no right to speak on such a big matter, not to mention that since Empress Wu dared to make such a disgusting suggestion at this time, she naturally dug a hole and waited for Li Xian to jump down by herself Well, if nothing else happened, as long as Li Xian dared to object on the spot, the next move would be enough to make Li Xian shed a few layers of skin. How could Li Xian take advantage of such an obvious trap.

"Returning to my father's words, the ancients said: Marrying a daughter-in-law is based on serving the parents. It is a great honor for the sons and ministers to have a mother and queen to help choose a daughter-in-law. How could there be any other meanings?" Li Xian is a very deep generation in the city , even though his heart was raging with anger, but his face was full of flattery, and he thanked him excitedly.

"Oh, Brother Seven is going to marry a wife!"

As soon as Li Xian finished speaking, Princess Taiping, who had already run up to the Qianlong by herself, immediately jumped up, her small palms slapped loudly, and her small face was smiling like a flower.

"Oh? Hahaha..." Seeing Princess Taiping so excited, Gaozong couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand, fondled Princess Taiping's hair, and teased happily: "Yueyue, Why don't I find you a husband's family too?"

"No, no, I don't want it, the father is bad, and the mother, you see, the father is bullying her again." Princess Taiping didn't know what the so-called in-laws meant, but when she saw Gaozong, she laughed. The naughty one, naturally knew that this was not a good word, immediately pouted his mouth, twisted his small body, got into the arms of Empress Wu, and acted pitifully coquettishly, with that aggrieved little look Immediately, everyone in the hall couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Your Majesty, it must have been hard work for Xian'er to come all the way. Now that the matter is settled, how about we come here today?"

Empress Wu obviously didn't expect Li Xian to be so easy to talk to, seeing that the arranged backhands were completely useless, she didn't want Li Xian to be more intimate with Gao Zong, so she said something politely.

"Well, if Mei Niang didn't tell me, I forgot. Xian'er has been resting for a few days. After a few days, I will give you an order to settle this marriage." When Gaozong heard Empress Wu's words, he automatically He also thought it was reasonable, so he smiled and waved his hand, signaling Li Xian to leave.

"Thank you, father and mother, for your love, my son and minister are retiring."

Li Xian had something on his mind, so he didn't want to stay any longer, so he took the opportunity to resign, turned around, pushed out of the main hall, and walked out of the palace.

"Seventh brother, go slowly, wait for little brother."

Just as Li Xian was walking out of the palace gate, Li Xulun's shouts came from behind.

"Eighth brother, what's the matter?"

At this moment, Li Xian was in a hurry to go back to the house to make relevant plans, and he didn't want to cause any more trouble, but he couldn't ignore Li Xulun's shouting, he frowned slightly, but he still stood still, and when he turned around, his face was already smiling like a spring breeze , asked kindly.

"Brother Seven, that daughter of the royal family, um, that girl is really that, that... ah, I'd better go and see for myself, if you don't like it, my father can ask my younger sister to talk about it, younger brother, younger brother is also willing to help Seventh Brother Help." Li Xulun ran to the front out of breath, blushing, summoned up his courage, and hissed a lot.

"Brother Lao is bothering you. Brother Wei believes in the eyes of the queen mother. Hehe, in a few days, when the good news for brother comes, eighth brother can invite you to drink a few more bottles at Brother Wei's house?" Li Xian didn't dare to say anything. Trusting Li Xulun's kindness, he smiled gently and replied calmly.

"Seventh brother, you..." Seeing that Li Xian didn't take his words into his heart, Li Xulun couldn't help but turn pale. He wanted to talk again, but he didn't know what to say for a while, so he just froze. on the spot.

"The eighth brother stays behind and takes a step ahead for my brother."

Li Xianshi didn't intend to get close to Li Xulun at such a sensitive time, so he nodded with a smile, not giving Li Xulun a chance to speak again, turned around, walked to the carriage waiting opposite the small square, bowed, speechless He got into the carriage, and as soon as the curtain was lowered, Li Xian's face was completely gloomy, and his evil spirit instantly evaporated...
