Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

To be honest, the Tai Chi Hall looked quite grand from the outside, but after entering the inside, one could clearly feel the darkness inside. The various furnishings in the hall are also quite simple and unadorned. Maybe some things are older than Li Xin, and they are not as royal as Li Xin imagined.

Li Xin nodded secretly. After all, this was the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, when the world was initially settled, and people's livelihood was in decline. Li Shimin chose to lead by example, reducing unnecessary expenses as much as possible, so that the people could recuperate. From this point of view, Li Xin believed that His Majesty Li Er in this parallel world would most likely become a wise king who would go down in history.

Although it was broad daylight, several giant tallow candles were still burning. The bright candlelight illuminated the desk in the center of the hall, and the man behind the desk, who didn't look strange. Wearing a light yellow round-neck uniform, he was kneeling and reviewing a pile of memorials that could be piled up into a hill. He frowned slightly, as if he was thinking seriously.

This is His Majesty Li Shimin, who made immortal achievements for the dominating Tang Empire? It doesn't seem to be any different from the uncle next door.

Li Xin lacked a sense of reality in a trance. He quickly chased away the redundant thoughts in his mind.

No matter what Li Shimin is like, who he is, and whether he can create the rule of Zhenguan, these are not important to Li Xin at this moment. The only thing he hoped for was that he would be able to resolve this marriage contract smoothly in a while. As long as this Comrade Li Er can agree to this ruthless request, then in Li Xinxin's opinion, he is a good comrade who has escaped the vulgar interests.

Li Xin stepped forward and knelt down to salute, "My subject, Li Xin, pays homage to Your Majesty."

"Get up." Li Shimin glanced at Li Xin, casually pointed to a place beside him and said, "Come, sit here."

This is also customary. As long as there are no other people, Li Shimin will let Li Xin sit next to him, which can be regarded as an expression of favor. Li Xin responded without refusing, walked obediently to Li Shimin and sat down on his knees, with lowered eyebrows and a pleasing look, looking quite honest.

"Xin'er came to see me today, I'm afraid I have something to ask for?" Li Shimin said with a smile, his tone was very friendly and easy-going. Ever since Li Xuandao passed away due to illness, he has always regarded Li Xin as his own son.

"Your Majesty is clearly aware." Li Xin flattered slightly, but did not deny Li Shimin's guess.

Li Shimin said straightforwardly: "Let's listen to it."

Li Xin hesitated for a moment, and wanted to speak carefully, but suddenly a flowery face popped up in his mind, and he immediately said: "I think. Please take back the marriage offer, Your Majesty."

Li Shimin's expression paused, and he asked, "Why?"

"My subject is eccentric, unformed, and full of bad deeds. He often does amazing things. Because of my father's relationship, His Majesty dotes on me and often protects me. I know this." Li Xin put on a painful expression. , said, "Actually, I also deeply feel that I was very stubborn in the past, so I have made up my mind to change my past. Before I become a junior who can make His Majesty proud, I don't plan to start a family, and I hope His Majesty will do it."

Li Shimin's expression seemed to be touched, he fixedly looked at Li Xin's face, his eyes were full of kindness.

Li Xin's face was calm, as if he was still immersed in regret for the past, but in fact, he was already happy in his heart. He thought triumphantly: "How is it? In front of my sincere attack, forgive me for being an emperor through the ages, I am afraid that you will also be enlightened."

However, after being "moved" for a moment, Li Shimin shook his head with a smile, and said, "Okay, stop acting with me. Don't I know what kind of virtue you have? Just speak humanly and don't talk about such useless things." .”

Li Xin was stunned, and said: "No, what I said just now is from the bottom of my heart."

"Still talking?" Li Shimin glared at Li Xin and said, "Do you want to be punished?"

Hearing the words "beat the board", Li Xin immediately became honest, like a deflated ball. His little trick of cooperating with him has long been exposed by His Majesty Li Er, and he is just cooperating with acting and teasing him.

All right, you are the emperor, you can do whatever you say, if you don't let me say it, I'll just shut up.

Li Xin pouted slightly.

"Tell me, why do you not want to get married? Did someone tell you something?" Li Shimin's eyes lit up slightly when he said this, very sharp.

Li Xin didn't notice the change in Li Shimin's eyes, but said in surprise: "Your Majesty is amazing, how do you know?"

"Oh? It seems that someone really told you something." Li Shimin sneered and asked again, "Who? What did you say?"

"It's Wang Gui, the housekeeper of my house." Since Li Shimin refused to beat around the bush, Li Xin simply said it all.

Hearing this answer, Li Shimin was obviously a little surprised. He was stunned for a moment before asking in doubt: "What did this Wang Gui in your house say?"

So, Li Xin told Wang Gui how he asked Wang Gui to inquire about the news, how Wang Gui described the third daughter of the Chen family, and so on, all of which were crackling like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube. Li Shimin was stunned for a while, his expression gradually relaxed, and he even became a little dumbfounded.

"I really don't know where you heard these nonsense things. Who told you that the daughter of the Chen family is big and round?" Li Shimin said with a smile, "I have seen that girl, Guanyin's maidservant. She told me personally that the lady She looks very good, very beautiful, and I decided to let you marry her. You didn't thank me well, but you just heard a few gossips from somewhere and asked me to take it back, what's the reason for that?"

Guanyin Maid is the nickname of the eldest grandson of the current empress. Li Shimin likes to call this woman who is the mother of the world.

Li Xin is also a little allergic to the word "Peugeot" now. Who knows what the definition of "Peugeot" is for you Tang Dynasty people? What if the bigger the arms, the rounder the waist and the easier it is to give birth, the more beautiful you think it is? Didn't later generations always say that fat was considered beautiful in the Tang Dynasty? It can't be groundless, right?

The more Li Xin thought about it, the more he felt that the so-called "beautiful" was actually as unreliable as "both talented and beautiful", just like the words in the imperial decree that praised him as "gentle and refined", they were all lies. He took a deep breath, and decided to open his mouth again to fight for the possibility of canceling the engagement, but Li Shimin waved his hand, not giving him another chance to speak.

"Don't say any more. You are not joking. The imperial decree has already been issued, so there is no reason to take it back? What's more, you have no reason to convince me." Li Shimin looked at Li Dao, "Don't worry, the daughter of the Chen family will never She's not an ugly girl, and she's not as big and round as you said. You can go home and wait for the wedding date in peace."
