Although Empress Changsun repeatedly told Li Shimin to have a small burial before her death, she was the queen of the Tang Dynasty and the first queen to die since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, even if she wanted a small burial, the funeral should not be too bad, especially the funeral was handled by Changsun Wuji. He had a deep affection for his sister, and he was unwilling to let Queen Changsun’s funeral be too simple, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that Empress Changsun’s funeral was very grand at the end, but during the burial, it was still in accordance with Empress Changsun’s will, and the mausoleum room was relatively simple to be repaired. However, she finally wanted to be buried with Li Shimin, so there will definitely be no less burial objects in the future.

After the funeral, Changsun Wuji was seriously ill. On the one hand, it was because there were too many things in the funeral, which consumed too much energy. On the other hand, it was because of the death of Empress Changsun that caused him to have a huge blow. He had no time to think about this because he was busy with the funeral, but when the funeral ended, huge grief knocked him down in an instant.

When Changsun Wuji was ill, Li Shimin was also very worried. He went to visit him in person several times and told him to rest with peace of mind. The affairs in the court were naturally shared by others. Li Xiu had also visited him several times and asked about his condition. Only then did he know that Changsun Wuji was very ill this time. Although he would not be in danger of life, it would take a long time to recover. In the end, Li Shimin simply gave Changsun Wuji a half-year leave so that he could rest with peace of mind.

Changsun Wuji could have rested, but Li Xiu began to get busy. After the funeral of Empress Changsun, the library was built and the books were ready last year, so the library was about to open. In addition, the Analects of Confucius has been revised on the side of the printing house, which requires large-scale printing by the printing house. In addition, the financial management and banking affairs, Li Xiu felt that the pressure on his shoulders increased greatly and he was very busy every day.

If it was just a matter of official business, Li Xiu could handle it. After all, he liked to be lazy and delegate power. As long as there were a few subordinates who were good, he would simply hand over the matter to the other party. In this way, he would be relaxed and his subordinates would have the opportunity to play. Both parties would take their own needs.

However, with the end of the funeral, there was another extremely important thing that he needed to handle, that is, the wedding of Wanniang and Pei Xingjian. During the funeral, all the weddings among the people were banned and were not released until the funeral was over. This also made it possible for Chang'an City to get married after the funeral.

Wanniang and Pei Xingjian had already made up their relationship last year, and Li Xiu also promised them to hold a wedding for them a year later. This year, the reason why Pei Xingjian came back with Su Dingfang was to get married to Wanniang. Similarly, Wanniang waited for a full year. After Pei Xingjian returned, she became much cheerful and the smile on her face almost never stopped.

Li Xiu naturally would not break his promise, so he also began to prepare for the wedding of Pei Xingjian and Wanniang. Pei Xingjian had no male elders and there was no man to handle the wedding. Originally, Su Dingfang wanted to stay and prepare for Pei Xingjian's wedding himself, but after the New Year, some sudden situations occurred in Liaodong, which forced Su Dingfang to leave early.

In this case, Li Xiu had to personally preside over the wedding of Pei Xingjian and the others. Of course, Pei Xingjian could also help, but he was the groom after all, and he was young and had no experience at all, so many things still needed to help him make decisions.

The wedding was initially scheduled in mid-March, and spring was blooming, which was a good time for marriage. Princess Pingyang, Yi Niang and others were also busy preparing dowry for Wan Niang. It was very particular for wealthy families to marry their daughters. Not only were there many dowry items, but they were also very particular. Of course, it was not the first time Li Xiu's family married a daughter, so Princess Pingyang and the others also had experience.

However, seeing the busy preparations for the wedding at home, Li Xiu couldn't help but think of Qi Niang who was far away in the Americas. If Li Chengdao hadn't gone far in the Americas, her wedding would probably be so lively. Moreover, Qi Niang has been away for more than half a year, so I don't know how it is now?

Early that morning, Li Xiu hurried to the palace. After handling the affairs in his hands, he hurried to Liangyi Hall. The main reason was that he wanted to get busy with the things in his hands as soon as possible and could go back to prepare for the wedding in the afternoon. It can be said that he wanted to split himself in half during this period. Fortunately, the divorce has not been around for a few days now, so it is enough to get through it.

"Your Majesty, the library has been prepared and can be opened at any time. Your Majesty has set a date for opening!" Li Xiu rushed to Liangyi Hall, then bowed and bowed to Li Shimin and said.

After this period of hard preparation, the library has finally been prepared. Now it is waiting for the opening. After it is opened, only a dedicated person will be needed to manage it, and Li Xiu has less concern.

"That's great. Do you think there is a ceremony to open the business?" Li Shimin was shocked when he heard Li Xiu's words, and then asked. In his opinion, when a library is so important, it is necessary to make a name for itself in opening the business, so that the reputation of the library can be promoted as soon as possible.

"I think there is no need to do any rituals. After all, the library is a place for learning and learning, and it is necessary to keep quiet in normal times, so it is not advisable to have too big rituals when opening. Moreover, it is the territory of the Imperial College, and the Confucius Temple is next to it, which is not suitable for making too much noise. So I think it's better to be low-key and first apply for a loan certificate for the students of the Imperial College so that they can borrow the books in normal times. These students also have a great influence among scholars. With the help of their mouths, scholars in the world will soon let the benefits of libraries know!" Li Xiu pondered for a moment and spoke again.

Of course, the reason why Li Xiu was unwilling to hold any ceremony was not only because he mentioned above, but also had a little selfishness, that is, he didn't want to spend any effort on the library anymore. After all, as long as the business was opened, he would have nothing to do, so he would have more energy to work on the wedding.

Li Shimin also felt that it made sense when he heard Li Xiu’s explanation. After all, the library is prepared for scholars, not for business, and it is indeed not suitable for being too grand. So he finally nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it according to your wishes!"

Seeing Li Shimin agreeing, Li Xiu also felt relieved. He finally lost one thing at hand, but at this moment, Li Shimin hesitated for a moment before suddenly speaking: "Li Xiu, I heard... I heard that Wan Niang is going to get married?"
