Chapter 23 The Princess's Marriage(1/2)
Liu Xuan said that it was not decided, but in fact the date was roughly set.
At present, things in the court are almost settled, and the issue of concubines that the ministers care about has been basically solved. Now the ministers no longer struggle with the emperor about the matter of taking concubines-knowing that the emperor has made concessions this time, so
There's no end to the bad news. If you don't know how to advance or retreat like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to hang out in the court for a few days.
Therefore, Liu Xuan did not accept a concubine, and they were not in a hurry. Since the emperor did not like her, they could marry their daughter to someone else.
Anyway, there are countless young heroes in the court now. Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Lu Xun and others are not married yet.
Even Guo Jia only took one concubine and did not formally marry a wife. This important minister in the Ministry of War was highly trusted by the emperor. Whenever strategies were formulated before a war, Guo Jia would be present to accept the emperor's questions.
Even if they are not selected in the court, there are still many young and talented generals, including Zhang Yun and Ma Chao, and they are all from famous families, so these people are not afraid of not finding a good son-in-law.
In fact, Lu Bu's daughter is also good-looking and well-known in the capital. In addition, she is the first female general in the history of the Han Dynasty and has attracted a lot of attention. There are indeed many young men from aristocratic families who want to try this fierce horse.
Horses, but they have all learned a lesson and never dare to provoke them again.
"General Lu asked Your Majesty to personally arrange a marriage for his daughter. Why didn't Your Majesty agree?"
Cai Yan actually thinks this is a good thing, and Lu Lingqi is not too young. She is almost the same as Lu Xun. Even if Ma Chao is not good, Lu Xun is still a good match.
After all, as the queen, Cai Yan stayed with Liu Xuan every day and knew who the emperor valued. Names such as Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun were often mentioned by the emperor, which naturally showed that the emperor valued him.
"Just let nature take its course, and that girl is not a lady who hides at home all day long. Seeing how she dares to be the first female general of the Han Dynasty, you know that this girl has ideas. People like this have their own ideas.
Maybe she has already fallen in love with someone in the army. If I happen to choose someone she likes through this combination, it would be fine. But if I choose the wrong one, wouldn't it be a troublesome thing?"
Liu Xuan smiled: "Anyway, she has her own idea, let her choose a husband she likes!"
Even if she can't choose, there's nothing to be afraid of. Lu Lingqi has practiced early. If she really counts her achievements, she won't be taller than her father in the future. Therefore, Lu Lingqi doesn't have to worry about her lifespan and appearance. The twenty-year-old Lu Lingqi's appearance has changed.
There will be no more changes, and you don't have to worry about being too old and too old to get married.
"It will take a long time anyway, just let her find it slowly!"
The only thing she has to worry about is Lu Lingqi's mother. Although Lu Bu's wife has also learned the cultivation method, she has poor talent and low achievements. Although she can keep her appearance forever with some pills given by Liu Xuan, her lifespan is not.
Endless.
It can still be guaranteed within a hundred years. After this period, it may not be possible. Maybe Mrs. Lu Buna has been urging Lu Lingqi to get married because she wants to watch her daughter marry into a good family while she is still alive. Forget it.
A matter of mind.
He did not dare to tell anyone these speculations, because apart from him, everyone around him more or less had relatives alive. Even Huang Yueying, who had experienced a strange time travel and lived in two lives, was no longer free from worries.
The only one who is truly alone is Diao Chan!
Maybe this is the reason why Liu Xuan likes to be with Diao Chan so much and is not afraid to say anything to her!
"correct!"
Cai Yan suddenly exhaled as if remembering something.
"Sister Liu Zi is not married yet! Although she doesn't have to worry about anything as a princess, there are already a lot of rumors in Luoyang City. It's not good if it continues like this!"
"Liu Zi?"
Liu Xuan's sister is really not young now. Liu Xuan was already in her forties at this time, and Liu Zi was only a few years younger than him. In this era, she is no longer an old girl.
It's descriptive.
Originally, he was thinking about marrying Liu Zi to Lu Bu, which could be regarded as a change of wooing, but later he saw that Lu Bu was loyal enough, and Liu Zi never expressed her desire to marry, so the matter was thrown aside and he never thought about it again.
.
"This..." Liu Xuan thought for a while. Liu Zi rarely left the palace in recent years. When she went out to play, she only occasionally went with him. Most of the time, she was bored in her Wannian Palace to practice.
, I simply want to be an immortal more than him.
The result of such diligent practice is that Liu Zi has almost become the number one master in the royal family except Liu Xuan, and Diao Chan accompanies her to fight from time to time, so it is not bad in actual combat. In a real fight, among the people in the clan
, that is, Liu Bei can win steadily, and the rest will not be able to get any favors.
When she first noticed this, Liu Xuan laughed at her: "Could it be that she wants to be the number one female general among men?"
But Liu Zi just smiled and said nothing. Later, she gradually forgot about the matter, and the number one female general of the Han Dynasty also fell on Lu Lingqi's head.
"She doesn't seem to want to get married, right?"
Cai Yan rolled her eyes at him: "How can a girl's family not want to get married? Besides, sister Liu Zi is not too young now. Seeing that her brothers have already married and have people to accompany her, she has been there all day long.
How can you not feel lonely in the palace?"
After complaining about Liu Xuan, Cai Yan also talked about the girl's family's thoughts: "It's just that the girl's family is so young, how dare she say that she wants to get married? Why don't we wait for you, the elder brother, to make the decision?"
Hearing this, Liu Xuan's head was covered with sweat. Only then did he realize that his relationship was not because Liu Zi didn't want to get married, but because he was delayed by him!
After all, Liu Zi is a princess, and she has to worry about her status. She cannot say anything: "I want to get married, find me a good husband!" After all, this kind of thing is not very pleasant to hear. If it really spreads, it will greatly damage the majesty of the royal family.
Moreover, in this era, it was the parents who made the decision when a girl got married. If the parents were absent, the brothers would make the decision. If there were no brothers, the elders or the head of the clan would make the decision.
In other words... Liu Zi's matter needs to be solved by Liu Xuan.
"Thanks to that skill, my sister can stay young forever, otherwise this would have caused too much trouble!"
Secretly thinking of luck, Liu Xuan also asked: Does Wen Ji have a suitable candidate in mind?"
Cai Yan actually just complained that Liu Xuan didn't understand the girl's thoughts, but she really didn't think about who Liu Zi would marry. After thinking about it, he found that although there were many people in the court, there seemed to be not many suitable for the princess.
?
For example, Cao Cao, who is nearly sixty years old, was considered an old man before. No matter how Liu Zi is, she is still a princess of Han Dynasty, and she will not have to wrong herself even if she is older.
What's more, Cao Cao's reputation in life was not very good, and he had many wives and concubines at home. Cai Yan was also worried that his sister would be considered a coward after marrying him.
"General Lu is a suitable candidate!"
It is no secret in Luoyang City that Lu Bu is afraid of his wife. Many people even joked that the title of the most powerful general in the world should not be given to Lu Bu, but to Lu Bu's wife.
And Lu Bu himself didn't care much about it. When people he knew made fun of him, he just laughed and wasn't angry - as he got older, his temper has grown a lot. If he was young, he would probably just copy it.
It's about to be a one-on-one challenge.
But Lu Bu loves his wife very much now, and he has a daughter, Lu Lingqi, so it's not very appropriate now.
"Then choose someone who has never married!"
After thinking about it, Guo Jia has not married a wife yet, but this guy is also a wandering guy. Although he has not married a wife, he does not live a regular life, and he also has a concubine. If Liu Zi hates this kind of person,
Wouldn't it be a sin to marry someone else?
"Why can't I think of many suitable ones?"
Lu Xun and Zhuge Liang are both good, but these two are not the right age!
Lu Xun had just turned twenty. If not for the big changes in his family, he would have just been crowned and considered to be an adult. Although Zhuge Liang has been an adult for a long time, he is still much younger than Liu Zi - sibling relationships are not popular these days.
"How about finding one in the army?"
Cai Yan was not very satisfied with Liu Xuan's proposal. She did not agree with finding a general! Although Liu Zi also wielded swords and guns, she was more like a lady like her, and she lived in
In the palace, the knowledge is also very high, and although there are many generals who are good at both Chinese and martial arts, there are not so many when considering their appearance, age and other factors.
And most of these people have already married, so let the princess be the little one?
"so troublesome!"
After thinking about it, Liu Xuan really thought of two suitable ones: "Ma Mengqi and Zhao Zilong are very suitable regardless of age or other conditions. Although Zhao Yun is a little older, it's not too much of a problem. It mainly depends on the age."
Can Liu Zi like him?"
After thinking about it like this, I told Cai Yan my thoughts.
After hearing these two people, Cai Yan did not continue to object. She had seen both of them and they were both handsome men. It was up to her to see if Liu Zi could like these two people.
"It just so happens that the generals accompanying this incognito private visit are Ma Chao, Zhao Yun and Lu Lingqi. When the time comes, we will call Liu Zi together, so we can observe closely!"
Cai Yan nodded: "It's best this way. If my sister doesn't like it, she can come back and tell us. It's better than His Majesty issuing an edict directly!"
Seeing that Cai Yan agreed, the matter was settled. But when I thought of bringing Lu Lingqi with me this time, I just wanted to see if she would meet Ma Chao. In this case, wouldn't it be like a group blind date?
"What if these two girls both fall in love with the same person?"
The more he thought about it, the more headache he got, so Liu Xuan simply ignored it. Anyway, this matter would have to wait for a while. If such a situation really happened, it would be their own business and let them think of their own solution.
"The conditions have been created and the people have been brought out, but you still can't handle the rest? Then you deserve to be alone for the rest of your life!"
With this thought in his mind, he stopped worrying about the matter. After chatting with Cai Yan about trivial matters in the palace, Liu Xuan left the main hall of the Crystal Palace and headed for the Weapon Refining Department.
After the Luoyang Dragon Palace was built, the Weapon Refining Department also changed the gun and created a better working environment. Not only did it have a complete set of supporting tools, but it also had a comfortable and spacious working area, and even a huge testing ground. These included
Being in the palace makes it convenient for Liu Xuan to go there nearby.
However, there is only one gate leading to the interior of the palace, and Tiger Guards are stationed on duty 24 hours a day, so people in the Weapon Refining Department cannot easily enter the palace. This gate was only built to facilitate the emperor to come and check at any time.
The normal entrance and exit gate of the Weapon Refining Department leads directly to the outside of the palace. Its location is equivalent to a corner of the entire imperial city. It is considered a side door. However, outsiders do not know this. They only know that these people work in the imperial city and have a very high status.
high.
In addition, after the environment of the Weapon Refining Department has been improved, there are also complete food and accommodation facilities. Most people who work in the Weapon Refining Department do not need to find another place to live, so the entrance and exit doors are not often used.
Most of the time, it is used to transport materials or go out for a walk on vacation. But because the facilities are so complete, Huang Yueying will basically not go back to the palace once she starts working, but will continue to stay in the Refining Department.
Bian Liu Xuan came here this time mainly to see how busy Huang Yueying was, and to take her back to let her rest.
To be continued...
