Chapter 180: Marrying Liang Di
The next morning, the Chengen Hall of the East Palace.
The sun just reached the treetops and the light emitted was still a little red.
There were bright dewdrops hanging on the tips of the grass next to the road.
Li Chengqian walked into Cheng'en Hall and saw the eunuchs and palace maids who were sweeping in front of the hall carefully and did not dare to make any noise. Knowing that the Crown Princess Su had not yet gotten up, he hurriedly walked quietly in.
As soon as Li Chengqian walked into the main hall, he saw Su'er, the girl from the Crown Princess, greeted her and asked in a low voice, "Crown Princess is awake? Why are you coming out?"
"See Your Highness, the Empress is not awake yet." Su'er hurriedly bowed and whispered.
"Oh!" Li Chengqian walked quietly in after hearing this.
Li Chengqian walked to the main seat of the hall and sat down, looking at Su Er who was following him and asked in a low voice, "When did the Crown Princess fall asleep last night?"
"Return to the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess fell asleep early last night and fell asleep at Xu. She just vomited until she was ugly." Su'er said with some pain.
Li Chengqian hurriedly said, "Then let the princess sleep more and don't wake her up. How was the princess eating yesterday?"
"When His Highness passed away yesterday, the Empress drank some porridge, ate a few spoonfuls of egg custard and vomited again..."
Su Er was just talking and saw an eunuch running in from outside and whispering, "Report to the Crown Prince, Eunuch Zhu is here to pass on His Majesty's edict."
When Li Chengqian heard this, he thought it was about Qiansou's political banquet again, so he said angrily, "Let him wait outside."
In the past two days, Li Shimin often issued some strange decrees in order to hold the Qiansou Political Consultation Banquet, such as double the reward set by Li Chengqian, and then exempted anyone who came to attend the meeting from renting for two years...
Several of them were pushed back by Li Chengqian. If Li Shimin's reward method was followed, it would be a burden to the court for convening a thousand-souven party to discuss politics in the future.
When Li Chengqian was about to ask about the Crown Princess' daily life situation yesterday, he saw Eunuch Zhu laughing and walking in. As soon as he entered the hall, he hurriedly walked to Li Chengqian and bent down to salute and shouted excitedly, "I congratulate the Crown Prince, congratulate the Crown Prince..."
"Get out!" Li Chengqian was furious, stood up suddenly and raised his legs and kicked him, pressing his voice and shouting, "Get out!"
Eunuch Zhu was kicked in the chest by Li Chengqian, and suddenly became a rolling gourd on the ground and kept falling on the ground.
Li Chengqian looked at the cold light in his eyes and said, "Pull it out!"
The old ghost hurriedly led several eunuchs to come forward and pulled Eunuch Zhu out.
As soon as Eunuch Zhu was pulled out, Li Chengqian heard a palace maid in the inner room calling Su'er and said that the Crown Princess woke up and asked Su'er to go in.
Li Chengqian walked in first when he heard this. He took two steps and felt that he was walking too slowly, so he hurriedly avoided the path and let Suer go in first.
When Li Chengqian walked in, the crown princess was already wearing clothes. When he saw Li Chengqian coming in, he hurriedly saluted and said, "I have seen His Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Chengqian hurriedly supported her and said, "You don't have to be polite to be a concubine."
The Crown Princess looked at Li Chengqian and smiled with her face, "I have slept a lot during the day recently, so I didn't sleep at night. I woke up just now and thought that His Highness had a lot of things, so I didn't let them say anything."
Li Chengqian knew that the Crown Princess wanted to say good things to Eunuch Zhu, so he patted her hand and said, "This lonely king named Zhu has long wanted to kill him and doesn't care about the concubine."
The Crown Princess knew that Li Chengqian's temper had improved a lot recently, and she rarely punished the people around her, let alone beat him. After hearing Li Chengqian say this, he knew that this surname Zhu must have a way to kill him, so I won't mention it now.
"Your Highness is busy with state affairs these days and comes to see me every day. It must be very hard for them to prepare red dates and yam porridge for me. Your Highness will use some here first."
Li Chengqian nodded and helped Su sit down when he heard this. Su'er hurriedly ran out to pass the message, but he was not careful but he bumped into the old ghost.
Li Chengqian saw the face lowered and asked, "What's the matter like this?"
"Congratulations to the Crown Prince, Your Majesty—uh—" the old ghost said as he glanced at the Crown Princess, calmed down and said, "Your order to make Miss Wang a good wife for you."
These things were long as Li Chengqian expected, and he deliberately said, "What a big deal!"
"Of course it's a big deal. I'll send my words to the princesses and princesses from all the prefectures in Chang'an City to come to the East Palace in the afternoon." The princess stood up excitedly and said loudly.
Li Chengqian hurriedly stood up and stopped her and said, "Hey, you are having fun these days. Why are you doing these things? Just let the old ghost arrange someone to carry it in."
The palace maid who was about to pass the message didn't know what to do for a moment. When the princess saw it, she shouted loudly, "Go quickly!"
Seeing the palace maid walking out, the Crown Princess turned around and took Li Chengqian's hand and said, "It's been a few years since your highness finally fell in love with someone. Your Majesty has personally conferred Liang Di. I am happy for you. Besides, this Liang Di's mother's family is from Taiyuan Wang's grandfather family, and he still has to give him enough face." Seeing what Li Chengqian wanted to say, he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, your highness, I am not the one who can't tolerate it. I know that only your good ministers and Xiang'er can be better."
Li Chengqian was speechless and could only shake her hand hard and go out.
When Li Chengqian returned to Lizheng Hall from Chengen Hall, he saw Li Daozong, the Minister of Rites, waiting for him in the hall. He hurriedly walked forward a few steps and said, "Uncle Jiangxia is here!"
"See Your Highness the Crown Prince." Li Daozong respectfully saluted Li Chengqian.
"Why did Uncle Wang come to see the Lone King so early?" Li Chengqian said tentatively. Although Li Daozong has always been against Changsun Wuji, he was also busy during the process of defeating Changsun Wuji this time, but it was the first time that the general who led the troops came to see him.
In history, Li Daozong, like King Li Ke of Wu, was defiled by Changsun Wuji and died in the exile place to participate in Fang Yiai's rebellion.
"I heard from the princess that the princess is happy again?" Li Daozong said with a smile.
Li Chengqian didn't know what he was doing, so he said truthfully, "Yes, I have been having trouble eating and sleeping these days. The Gu Wang just went to see it."
Li Daozong quickly got up and folded his fists and said, "Congratulations to the Crown Prince." Li Chengqian quickly raised his hand to signal him to sit down.
Li Daozong sat down and continued, "I just heard the descent of Your descending order to establish a good wife for His Highness. Uncle Wang wants to drink your wedding wine."
Li Chengqian smiled and said, "I should invite Uncle Wang!"
Li Daozong laughed and said, "This wine is not in vain. At this time, the Crown Princess is unhappy and cannot work. Let the Ministry of Rites handle the matter of establishing Liangdi on behalf of the East Palace!"
What does this mean?
Li Chengqian looked at Li Daozong in confusion.
"Your Majesty means that the Crown Prince's dinner party with the final dinner of the Qianshou's political discussion banquet tomorrow." Li Daozong saw Li Chengqian's doubts and dared not keep it in hiding again.
Li Chengqian frowned and said, "Would it be too silly?"
Although the prince Liang Dijie of the Eastern Palace is better than the Marquis of Guannei, he is the prince's wife after all, so there is no need to be so arrogant when marrying a little wife. It would be troublesome if Wang Yedan's mother had no idea of it.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, if you want to do this, your Majesty will have your own reason." Li Daozong explained to Li Chengqian again, which was actually hinting at Li Chengqian and Li Shimin's change in attitude towards him.
Li Chengqian thought about it and knew that this was Li Shimin's kindness, so he stood up and bowed to Li Daozong, "Then it's a blessing for Uncle Wang!"
"Haha, it's easy to say!" Li Daozong was very happy to see Li Chengqian's thoughts before leaving.
In the afternoon of that day, Li Chengqian knew that Li Shimin had summoned several generals in Ganlu Hall last night. Although Qiu Shenji could not find out the inside story, Li Chengqian guessed that it must have something to do with him, and from the current perspective, the result was also beneficial to him.
So from that day on, the Eastern Palace and the Ministry of Rites not only had to busy convene a political banquet for Qiansou, but also prepared for the Li Chengqian to accept Liangdi, so that the whole East Palace was so busy that it was not touching the ground.
But even though they were busy and tired, because everyone knew that Li Shimin had changed his attitude towards Li Chengqian again, everyone still had a happy face. Not only did no one complain about being tired, but they all tried their best to do this.
The next day, even those who came to attend the Qiansou Political Discussion Banquet knew that the "Loving Prince wants to take Liangdi", and he was very happy.
At dusk, the huge East Palace wedding team carried Wang Yedan from Princess Tong'an's mansion back to the East Palace, and saluted in the Yichun Palace prepared for her. Li Chengqian told her a few words and asked him to rest in the Yichun Palace. Li Chengqian was going to the Jiade Hall in front to attend the dinner hosted by Li Shimin himself.
