Chapter 163 Engagement
"Le Ling hasn't come back yet."
In the Yanying Hall of Daming Palace, Emperor Yu Li Shun, accompanied by Empress Xue, flipped through the documents on the table and asked casually.
The **** in yellow on one side bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, Princess Guanghua should now be at the home of Mr. Li Ang in Jinchengfang, giving tutoring to Princess Guanghua's friend, the maid in Mr. Li's house."
"Um?"
Emperor Yu hesitated a little when he read the document, Li Ang knew it, but the maid of Li Ang's family
Isn’t he a commoner?
Queen Xue said: "Is that the child surnamed Chai? I heard from Le Ling that we are friends."
The **** in yellow clothes named Yang Enchao said respectfully: "Yes. The maid's surname is Chai and her name is Cuiqiao. Some time ago, the teaching of the academy just detected it with the Zhiyu Yinxiu disc. She was born with twelve spiritual veins, which can be added as usual. Into the preliminary examination list.
So Princess Guanghua is helping her with her homework these days. "
"Twelve spiritual veins?"
Empress Xue raised her brows slightly in surprise. She was not surprised by this number - after all, Yu Country has a population of 40 million, and rare geniuses with twelve or thirteen spiritual veins will appear every few years, and even There are also records of fourteen or five spiritual veins.
But it happened at Li Ang’s house, and the person involved was his little maid, so is there a chance?
"What is this? Is Jizhou outstanding and full of geniuses?"
Emperor Yu Li Shun laughed dumbfoundedly and shook his head.
The Jun Qianzi who is still absconding and forced Yu State to send three monks from the Zhuxiao Realm to hunt him down is also from Yunzhou.
Hearing her husband's cold joke, Empress Xue rolled her eyes coquettishly like a girl, then turned to ask **** Yang Enchao, "Is there anyone in the palace gossiping about Le Ling?"
"this"
Yang Enchao hesitated for a moment, then respectfully said: "I heard that there are."
Seeing the expression on Yang Enchao's face, Emperor Yu and Empress Xue looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes.
As the young supervisor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Yang Enchao's loyalty is unquestionable. If a servant in the palace is gossiping, he must have secretly punished him long ago.
can make him put on this expression, and use the word "heard",
Obviously, there is more than one tongue-twisting character, but a group of them.
And its specific identity is not suitable to be revealed on the occasion of Yanying Hall—concubine, prince, princess, or both.
“.”
The corners of Queen Xue's mouth were pulled down slightly,
With the dignity of a princess, make friends with ordinary women who have no official status, or even maids who serve tea, wash and cook for the master in other people's homes,
Spreading the word is simply a loss of face to Royal Li Yu.
Do you want to show some face to the Tian family?
If it was another princess, Empress Xue would have to teach her a lesson with her majestic aura.
But it happened to be Li Leling (not an adopted daughter) who was frail and sickly since she was a child, and was loved and doted on by the emperor and empress couple in every possible way.
"Who dares to spread rumors in the palace again, is it because life is too easy?"
Empress Xue narrowed her eyes slightly, her tone tinged with coldness.
Emperor Yu patted the back of his wife's hand lightly, and comforted him: "Even if it is not spread in the palace, it will be spread outside the palace. It is impossible to seal the mouths of so many people."
The best solution to maintain the majesty of Li Yu's royal family is naturally to prohibit Li Leling from interacting with Chai Cuiqiao, or to let Chai Cuiqiao enter the palace as a female official. But like his wife, Emperor Yu didn't want to see his daughter sad.
"But."
Empress Xue still frowned slightly, "What if in the future? Le Ling has also grown up."
"after?"
Li Shun paused, and immediately realized what his wife meant. Li Leling ran to Jinchengfang every day, apart from Chai Cuiqiao's reason, it should, probably, couldn't be because he fell in love with Li Ang, right?
Considering that she has been weak and sick since she was a child, and grew up in the inner garden of the imperial palace, she hardly ever stepped out of the palace.
It is normal for young Mu Shaoai and Shao Ai Mu to come into contact with peers in the academy.
"Well"
Li Shun frowned slightly. As Emperor Yu, he admired Li Ang very much.
No reward can be overstated.
As a father, Li Shun also felt that this son-in-law was a good candidate—Li Ang didn't admire power, was talented and intelligent, had a resolute and self-reliant personality, and had almost no shortcomings except his love of making money.
Emperor Yu asked: "By the way, I heard that there is only one maid in the Jinchengfang house that I rewarded Li Ang? Li Ang dotes on her very much?"
"Yes. There are rumors that Mr. Li Xiaolang is the inventor of soap, scented soap, and absorbent cotton, and his original intention of inventing these things was to make that maid relax."
Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Yang Enchao said respectfully: "In addition, it is also rumored that Li Xiaolang is good at management, often buying calligraphy, paintings, ancient books, etc., and also buying a lot of expensive gold and silver jewelry for his maids to wear. I envy the ladies of the same workshop."
"Is it."
Empress Xue nodded, extravagance and being able to make money are not shortcomings, but long-term love is even more of an advantage, "Li Ang should not be engaged yet, right?"
"I haven't heard of it yet."
Yang Enchao answered truthfully that as a young supervisor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is one of the most basic skills to inquire about news inside and outside the palace, and to collect information on people around the prince and princess in order to respond to inquiries from the emperor and queen.
Queen Xue asked, "When he was admitted to be the number one scholar in the academy, the Yan family didn't make an in-law for him first? What about the other nobles in Chang'an City?"
Li Ang cured Yan Yundang's anemia at the beginning, and the two families have close contacts. Although Li Ang was admitted to the academy by his own strength, it can't be called the relationship of "the master of the examination paper", but it should be close to the water. That's right.
"The daughters of the Yan family don't seem to be of the same age. The marriage proposals of other nobles were also declined by Mr. Li Xiaolang."
"Um."
Empress Xue nodded in satisfaction, and continued to ask about Li Ang's situation, what kind of birth date, public opinion, Yang Enchao couldn't help but stutter, and claimed to go back to investigate.
Emperor Yu smiled and shook his head when he saw this, but he was confused when he cared. Empress Xue, who usually ruled the harem and coerced all the concubines, did not dare to breathe loudly.
Pata.
A slight sound came from the drawer under the table. Emperor Yu frowned, opened the drawer, and took out a black envelope from it.
His expression became serious in an instant, and Empress Xue also stopped talking with the servant at the same time.
Brush and pull.
Emperor Yu opened the envelope, read the letter inside, and frowned tightly.
Seeing this, Empress Xue asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"See for yourself."
Emperor Yu rubbed his brows, and passed the letter over, "The secret spy lurking in Turkic sent back news that Turkic Khan has recently launched a spy in Yu State, intending to steal the production process of allicin."
