"Empress mother can be here!" Princess Changle asked outside the Lizheng hall.
"Princess, wait a minute. Today, the Duke and madam of the Yi kingdom came to see her. The empress is receiving her!" a gong-e replied in a low voice.
"The wife of Qin Qiong, the Duke of the Yi kingdom?" Princess Changle frowned, and a bad feeling rushed into her heart. Since the marriage proposal of Princess Wei, she is now very sensitive to the meeting of two middle-aged women.
Now it's not a new year's festival. How can the Duke and Lady of the Yi kingdom come to the palace for no reason! I'm afraid there's only one possibility.
Propose!
Princess Changle was in a hurry and hurried into the Lizheng hall. As a long princess, she came to the Lizheng hall on weekdays without reporting.
Before Princess Changle reached the main hall, she heard the hearty laughter of empress changsun and Mrs. Qin.
"Today's young people really don't understand. Think about us at that time, not only were our parents' orders and matchmakers' words, but also lived a lifetime!" Mrs. Qin said softly.
"Yes!" echoed empress Chang sun.
Qin Fu Humanitarianism: "if anyone had met before marriage, it might have spread all over the country. Now it's better to encourage them to meet before marriage. We can't keep up with the situation?"
Princess Changle's heart couldn't help a click. What she said was a major marriage event. She was in a hurry and stepped into the main hall.
"I'll see my mother!" Princess Changle bowed.
When empress changsun saw Princess Changle, she immediately smiled and said, "Changle is coming. The queen mother is about to send someone to find you?"
"Come to me! I don't know what's important for the mother to find the child?" Princess Changle said calmly.
"Today, Mrs. Qin came to the palace in person, naturally in order to say a happy husband to Changle." empress Chang sun smiled.
"I'm afraid the whole Chang'an city will never find such an excellent young man." Mrs. Qin answered.
Princess Changle sighed in her heart. As expected, there is only one possibility for two middle-aged women to be together.
"Children don't marry!" Princess Changle said firmly.
Mrs. Qin suddenly showed a trace of incomprehension and said, "why?"
"Thank you for your kindness, madam. Changle already has a lover. No matter how good Changle is, she won't marry." Princess Changle said stubbornly.
"Is your lover the one who delivers letters to you every ten days?" empress Chang Sun said, staring at Changle's headdress
"Ah!" Princess Changle was suddenly stunned and exclaimed, "empress mother, how do you know?"
Empress Chang sun snorted coldly, "in this palace, if the empress mother doesn't even know this little thing, it would be a dereliction of duty!"
Princess Changle blushed. She thought what she had done was very secret and should be unknown, but who could have thought that she had been under her mother's eyelids all the time.
Fortunately, the only good thing is that the letters between her and Merton are encrypted with passwords. No one can see her love letter except her, otherwise it won't let her die of shame.
Although Princess Changle blushed with shame, she didn't flinch. Instead, she summoned up her courage: "it's true that no one will marry except this person! Thank you for Mrs. Qin's kindness. Although Qin Huaiyu is also a rare young talent in Chang'an City, it's really a poor blessing for Changle."
"Qin Huaiyu?" Mrs. Qin couldn't help but say in amazement, "I'm here to make a matchmaker. How can I make a matchmaker for my son in person."
"Ah!" Princess Changle immediately made a big red face. She thought Mrs. Qin was proposing marriage for Qin Huaiyu. Unexpectedly, she made a mistake.
"Thank you for your kindness!" Princess Changle said firmly.
Empress Chang sun's face was solemn and said, "you don't know who it is? You decide not to marry!"
Princess Changle said sadly, "please help the mother to complete the child."
Looking at the gold strand on Princess Changle's head, Mrs. Qin said strangely, "if I were a concubine, if the person who sent you the gold strand proposed marriage, you wouldn't want to?"
"What?" Princess Changle looked at the empress changsun and Princess Changle in disbelief.
Empress Chang sun looked at the shocked Princess Changle and said helplessly, "today Mrs. Qin came to propose marriage on behalf of Merton!"
"Empress mother?" Princess Changle was ashamed and buried her head in the arms of empress changsun.
She originally wanted to clarify her relationship with Merton today to avoid the tragedy of Liang Zhu. Merton was one step faster than her and sent someone directly to get married.
Mrs. Qin said with a strange look on her face: "when Merton talked to my concubine, my concubine severely blamed him. He has nothing to do with a boy. If there is any defect in the princess's reputation, it would be a great sin!"
Empress Chang sun is also worried. If it weren't for the series of combined boxing of the Mo family, the wind direction of Chang'an City would be reversed, and the reputation of Princess Changle would be damaged.
Empress changsun looked helplessly at the golden thread on Princess Changle's head and said, "now the atmosphere has changed. We advocate parents' orders and matchmakers' words. Now both mother and matchmaker are here. Since you have also seen Merton, the empress asked you, but would you like to?"
Princess Changle was buried in the chest of the empress changsun and said, "it's all up to the mother!"
Even when she first came here, she had made up her mind to showdown. However, when she decided to die, she was still as shy as an ordinary little girl.
Empress Chang sun looked at Mrs. Qin and said with a bitter smile, "it's not easy to be parents! When you don't want to, it's all up to your parents. It's called arranged marriage. If you're willing to say it's all up to your parents!"
Mrs. Qin smiled and said, "poor parents all over the world!"
Empress changsun patted Princess Changle in her arms. Princess Changle got up with a red face and stood behind empress changsun.
"Changle's marriage! We can't make a decision by ourselves. We need to report it to the emperor." empress changsun apologized to Mrs. Qin.
For Merton, although the empress changsun had some complaints, they had long disappeared with Merton's efforts for Princess Changle. In addition, Merton rushed to propose marriage to Princess Changle, which made her more satisfied.
In addition, she originally owed Changle some money because of her close relatives' marriage. Naturally, she would not be more hindered by her intention to compensate Princess Changle. Now whether this matter can be accomplished or not depends on Li Shimin's attitude.
When Princess Changle heard the speech, she suddenly looked a hundred. She could be coquettish in front of the empress changsun. She didn't care about gossip. However, the only thing without confidence was to face her father.
Mrs. Qin nodded clearly. As the legitimate Princess of the Tang Dynasty, Princess Changle naturally married a daughter from a different ordinary family. She considered too many aspects.
In particular, Merton is the key to the revival of Mohism, and even Li Shimin has to consider it carefully.
"I'll go back and wait for the news first." Mrs. Qin got up and said goodbye.
