Li Xiang had met Cheng Luan twice on other occasions, but they had never had a formal conversation. This time, he finally married her as his wife.
When Cheng Luan got out of the sedan chair, Li Xiang noticed her good figure at a glance. Fortunately, her figure was different from Cheng Yaojin's. If it was the same as Cheng Yaojin's, Li Xiang would have to cancel the marriage even at the risk of being beheaded, and let him marry a tomboy, or just kill me after being reborn.
Cheng Luan was well-known for her talent in the capital, and many people knew about it. So after she married Li Xiang, many handsome men in the capital became miserable.
Even among many noble children, there were many admirers. Although these people came to the wedding, they wanted to feed Li Xiang a handful of arsenic. Unfortunately, they could only think about it in their hearts and could not really do it. If you really did it, then the whole family of hundreds of people would have to line up at the Meridian Gate.
Of course, some noble ladies were dissatisfied, and some also fantasized about marrying into the Eastern Palace. Unfortunately, after this incident, even if they could enter in the future, they would only be concubines. Everyone knew the gap between the main wife and the concubine. The barrier was extremely obvious now, and it would be even more obvious after giving birth to children in the future. Many people began to envy Cheng Luan.
In fact, among those young sisters, most of them have been envious of Cheng Luan recently. Although Li Xiang is out of town, he often sends people to send back some things, all of which are rare in Chang'an City. Cheng Luan's life is also much better than others, and she has earned enough face in front of the young sisters.
According to the rules of modern society, after Cheng Luan arrived at the Eastern Palace, he should have paid his respects to his parents with Li Xiang. However, apart from paying his respects to heaven and earth, he was taken into the house. The proper tea offering would only take place tomorrow morning.
Li Chengqian and his wife were almost in tears. Li Xiang had always been their pride, and today he finally got married, which meant he had truly become an adult. Li Shimin sat in the main seat, looking at his grandson, not knowing what he was thinking. He probably wanted to have more grandsons like him, so that he wouldn't have to worry about how to balance things.
Li Xiang's uncles and aunts also came today, acting as hosts to entertain others, but Li Xiang always felt that something was a bit off-kilter. For example, Li Tai and Li Zhi had fake smiles on their faces, and no one knew what they were thinking.
"It's a pity that the Queen Mother can't see it. If she could see it, she would be so happy today."
Li Tai was the best at spoiling the mood. Everyone present was very happy, but this man just brought out Empress Changsun, which made Concubine Yang, who was sitting next to him, feel a little inappropriate, after all, the seat here should have been for Empress Changsun.
Li Shimin's face also showed a bit of dissatisfaction. He liked Empress Zhangsun the most. Usually, whenever someone mentioned her, he would feel uncomfortable inside. Today was obviously a happy day, and Li Tai brought up this in front of so many people. Wouldn't this spoil everyone's fun?
"Qingque, you're not a kid anymore. You haven't been to your fiefdom yet, right?"
Li Shimin put down his wine glass. After hearing this, Li Tai's whole body stiffened. Because of Li Shimin's favor, Li Tai never left Chang'an when he was old enough to go to his fiefdom. Now that Li Shimin said this, did he want him to get out?
Speaking of Li Tai's fiefdom, it is much stronger than that of his other brothers. This guy is also the Grand Commander of Yangzhou, which means he was granted several good places.
But no matter how good the outside world is, it can never be better than Chang'an. Moreover, for these princes, no matter where you are given, if you are allowed to go to the fiefdom, it means that you have completely withdrawn from the fight for the throne and can only enjoy a peaceful life for the rest of your life.
Li Tai stood by and didn't know what to say, but Li Shimin was already extremely angry. Of course, Li Shimin could not do without Li Tai. Among all his sons, only Li Tai could make him happier. Although this guy often did wrong things, he was Li Shimin's most beloved son. Sons like Li Chengqian were very strict, and there was a rift between the two of them for a long time, so there was no joy between father and son.
"Father, today is a joyous day. Moreover, Xiang'er will soon be leaving for war. It's inevitable that he'll feel lonely in the capital. It's better to let my second brother stay in the capital first. After they return, we can discuss the matter of moving to the fiefdom."
Li Chengqian was also a capable man. He knew that his father was not really asking Li Tai to get out. If Li Chengqian had a choice, he would not let this guy stay in the capital for even a second. He would let Li Tai leave the capital immediately. Now Li Shimin just wanted to give him a warning, so there must be a way out.
"For your brother's sake, I'll forgive you this time. From now on, no matter what the situation, you must think through what you're saying beforehand. If something like this happens again, I won't forgive you."
Just as Li Chengqian thought, Li Shimin had no intention of letting Li Tai leave. Now Li Shimin was still trying to find a way to restrain Li Xiang. Although Li Xiang was a capable person, he could never dominate alone. If Li Tai left Chang'an, there would be no one left.
Li You had already set out for the northwest, but Li Shimin knew very well what kind of person Li You was. If he had known that drastic changes had taken place in the northwest, Li Shimin would not have let Li You go. This guy would only make things worse after he went there. However, the king never joked, and since he had already let him go earlier, he had no choice but to carry out the order.
Fortunately, Xiao Shougui is a capable person and should be able to help Li Xiang after arriving in the northwest. Today is a wedding banquet, and Li Shimin is not in a position to talk about these things. They can talk about it in detail before Li Xiang leaves.
The East Palace was bustling all afternoon, and some people were drinking here in the evening, but Li Xiang no longer cared about that.
At this moment, Li Xiang was already drunk. A group of people had already drunk a lot at Cheng Yaojin's house, and they insisted on having a drink with the groom, so they came to the East Palace in the afternoon. These people all had jars of wine. How could Li Xiang withstand their round-the-clock battle?
So Li Xiang fainted heroically. Before the bride's veil was even lifted, Li Xiang could no longer stand and was taken to the house by the maids. At this moment, Li Xiang rested his head on a soft object, feeling very comfortable...
