Chapter 2800 2802【Give marriage】
Xiang Nan then mentioned Pei Zhao and Luo Xi's marriage to Li Xi.
"Father, in a few days, it will be Luoxi's seventeenth birthday." He said with a smile.
"Oh?! Is Luo Xi already this old? Time really flies." Li Xi couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he heard it.
Because Yongning and Luoxi have no risk of seizing the heir, Li Xi still loves them very much.
"Yes." Xiang Nan nodded, "Speaking of which, my sister has also reached the age for marriage."
"Well, I want to help her find a good husband-in-law who has both ability and political integrity, good character, and a good family." Li Wei said immediately.
"Father, in fact, Luo Xi has had a crush on Pei Zhaoxin since she was a child." Seeing this, Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"Oh?!" Li Xi was taken aback, then nodded, "Well, the two of them are a good match."
Pei Zhao's father, Pei Kuang, is the General Xiaoqi, and his mother is Princess Pingnan, so he is not only a family of generals, but also a child of the clan.
Outstanding appearance, good character, strong martial arts, courage and insight, he conquered Danchi last year and made great achievements in battle. Among the younger generation of clan disciples, they can be regarded as outstanding figures.
Moreover, he is also Xiang Nan's companion, growing up together since childhood, and his relationship is irreversible. When Xiang Nan ascends the throne in the future, Pei Zhao will be his right-hand man.
Therefore, when Luoxi marries him, not only will she be harmonious and respectful to each other, but she will also enjoy prosperity and wealth forever, without worrying about being liquidated by politics in the future.
"Well, then I will draw up an imperial decree to marry the two of them!" Li Wei laughed.
"Boy Dai Luoxi and Pei Zhao first thank father, Emperor Long, for his kindness." Xiang Nan bowed and saluted.
…
"Two articles~" Qu Xiaofeng said.
"Touch! Hey, Nine Cakes!" Zhao Sese said.
"No, seven cakes!" Luo Xi said.
"Hey, I'm just waiting for this one for you, everyone, I'm with you!" Yongning said happily, overjoyed.
"No way, it's you and me again!" Luo Xi was surprised, "I sat at the table today, and we haven't made a reconciliation yet."
"That's right, why are you so unlucky today? You've played eight rounds, yet you didn't draw even once." Qu Xiaofeng also felt strange.
"No, today is Princess Luoxi's birthday, and her luck should be the best." Zhao Sese comforted.
"You guys are playing cards, who won today?" At this moment, Xiang Nan walked in with a smile.
"Fifth Brother~" Yongning and Luoxi immediately got up and said.
"Your Highness~" Zhao Sese also saluted.
Only Qu Xiaofeng didn't move, glanced at Xiang Nan and said, "Today is Luo Xi's birthday, we all gave her presents. You, Fifth Brother, haven't seen anyone since the morning. What about the presents, why don't you bring them out soon? "
"The gifts you gave are nothing more than jewelry, clothes, jewels, etc. They are so vulgar." Xiang Nan curled his lips, "Even if there are 10,000 gifts, they can't compare to this one."
"Bragging you!" Qu Xiaofeng expressed his disbelief.
"Then tell me first, what gift did you give?" Xiang Nan asked.
"I gave Luoxi a piece of malachite, a specialty of Xizhou, with Luoxi's name engraved on it." Qu Xiaofeng explained.
"What I gave to Princess Luoxi is the "Picture of Women's Benevolence and Wisdom" painted by Gu Kaizhi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty." Zhao Sese replied.
"What I gave to Luoxi is the Baixiu skirt that I specially made in Vipshop." Yongning also said proudly.
"Sure enough, they can't compare to me." Xiang Nan laughed.
"Then what gift are you going to give?" Qu Xiaofeng asked curiously.
Luoxi unfolded it suspiciously, and was immediately stunned.
Yongning, Zhao Sese, and Qu Xiaofeng hurried over to take a look, but they were all stunned.
It turns out that this imperial decree is exactly the decree made by Li Xi for Pei Zhao and Luo Xi's marriage.
Xiang Nan went to Pei Mansion early in the morning to announce the decree, and then rushed back to the East Palace to tell Luoxi the good news.
…
"How about it, Luoxi, Fifth Brother, this gift is what you want, right?" Xiang Nan said with a smile.
Luo Xi could hardly believe it was true.
She has liked Pei Zhao since she was a child, but she has never dared to say it. And Pei Zhao is also a boring gourd, a big wood who doesn't understand the style, and never pretends to her.
So she could only bury this feeling in her heart, thinking that she might miss it in this life. In the future, it doesn't mean to the princes and ministers, the clan's children, or like Ming Yuan and Qu Xiaofeng, they will go to foreign countries to get married.
That's why she was so excited when she saw the marriage decree.
She nodded with tears in her eyes, thinking that this birthday gift is really great!
"It doesn't count, it doesn't count, this is the marriage that the sage ordered, and it's not you!" Qu Xiaofeng said, "You can't borrow flowers to present to Buddha, you'd better take out your gift quickly."
"Really, I'm not the matchmaker, can Father know about Luo Xi and Ah Zhao?" Xiang Nan glared at her and said.
"That's also the kindness of the Holy One, the beauty of adults." Qu Xiaofeng said with a smile, "Don't be stingy, hurry up and bring out the gift~"
"Okay, okay, I won't bicker with you." Xiang Nan smiled, and then told Shi En a few words.
Si Eun went immediately.
A moment later, when he came back, he had a gift box in his hand.
Xiang Nan then gave it to Luo Xi.
Luoxi took a look, and saw a delicate little box inside. After opening it, there was actually a little person who could dance inside, and pleasant music came out, which shocked everyone.
"Wow, what is this, how can it still make a sound?" Qu Xiaofeng said in surprise.
Musical instruments still need people to play, but such a small box, which cannot be filled with people, can still make pleasant sounds, which is really amazing.
Yongning and Zhao Sese were also puzzled, seeing such a treasure for the first time.
"It's called a music box. I secretly made it for you." Xiang Nan laughed, "Now I can only give it to Luo Xi as a birthday present."
"Huh?!" Qu Xiaofeng couldn't help being extremely depressed when he heard it. But Luo Xi was her best friend, so she was only slightly depressed, and soon became happy again.
Then several people gathered around the music box, discussing it with great interest, all wanting to know how it can make sound, it is really amazing.
…
Turning around, it was Zhao Sesur's birthday.
Qu Xiaofeng also gave her a malachite as a gift.
Xiang Nan gave her an ivory Guanyin carved by himself.
"Thurse, I carved this Guanyin with my own hands, so you should enshrine it well." Xiang Nan instructed.
Zhao Sesur was not surprised to see Xiang Nan sending her the Avalokitesvara statue. After all, to her, she has seen all kinds of Avalokitesvara statues, gold, silver, jade, copper, wood, porcelain, nothing unusual.
Compared to the miraculous music box that Xiang Nan wanted to give to Qu Xiaofeng, these are rubbish.
But when she heard that this Guanyin statue was carved by Xiang Nan himself, she was overjoyed immediately, and felt that the meaning was different all of a sudden.
The music box is just a plaything, but Guanyin is a god, and has always been associated with "songzi". It can be seen that in the eyes of the prince, Qu Xiaofeng is just a plaything, and he had to marry in order to control the western region.
And he himself is the one he wants to spread and reproduce.
