Chapter 535: Li Mingda's Marriage

It was getting late, and Li Zhi and Li Mingda bid farewell to Li Hao and returned to the palace. Early the next morning, Li Mingda went to find Li Shimin, but found that Li Zhi had come early to pay his respects to Li Shimin.

The brother and sister persuaded Li Shimin to learn boxing together. Li Shimin was not very willing. To be honest, he didn't believe in the saying that practicing boxing can cure diseases. He wanted to take advantage of his time to deal with more political affairs. He also knew that he didn't have much time left.

However, a son and a daughter kept persuading him, and Li Mingda was so anxious that she almost burst into tears. Li Shimin had no choice but to agree. So the three of them found a quiet garden and started practicing boxing. Li Mingda was responsible for boxing. Li Zhi verbally explained the secrets and guided and corrected Li Shimin's movements.

Li Shimin has also been a martial arts practitioner. Although he is old and his hands and feet are not smooth, it is still no problem to practice a simple boxing technique. Moreover, this Peiyuan boxing technique is very slow and gentle, not much faster than Tai Chi, and the moves and footwork are also simplified, which is not difficult. Li Shimin only learned a while and learned boxing techniques, but the breathing rhythm has not been fully mastered. Li Zhi and Li Mingda guided him to adjust the breathing rhythm. Gradually, Li Shimin began to enter the state, with a momentum that could not stop at all.

He is now weak and was panting after walking for a while. However, after adjusting the rhythm of his breathing, he was not tired at all when he practiced. He stopped practicing for half an hour. He felt a little sweaty and felt much more energetic. Li Shimin immediately exclaimed that he was amazing and his mood suddenly became particularly good. He thought that he would be in the near future, but he did not expect that the boxing technique taught by Li Hao would have such a miraculous effect. He decided to practice for one or two hours every day in the future. According to this trend, he was confident that he would last for several more years.

Li Zhi and Li Mingda could also feel the change in Li Shimin's state, but it made the brother and sister very happy. Li Mingda happily hugged Li Shimin's arm and said, "Father, this boxing method is indeed effective. Look, your complexion is much better than before."

Li Shimin nodded happily and said, "Yes, this boxing technique is really magical. From now on, the father will practice diligently every day. At that time, Li Hao said that this boxing technique can strengthen the body and prolong life. The father also said that he was boasting, but he didn't expect it to be true. Zhier and Mingda. In the future, you two must practice diligently every day and not slacken with it."

"Yes! Father!" The brother and sister responded happily, and Li Mingda said again, "Father, sir, this set of Peiyuan boxing is the most effective if you practice it at sunrise in the morning. From now on, Mingda will come to practice boxing with his father every day at sunrise."

"Okay, Mingda is the most filial." Li Shimin happily touched Li Mingda's black hair, and suddenly his expression turned dark, and sighed helplessly, "You have grown so big in the blink of an eye. My father really hopes that you can always be as big as you were when you were a child. My father regards you as a treasure and holds it in his palm."

Li Mingda blinked his big eyes and looked a little coquettish, saying, "Even if Mingda grows up, he is still the treasure in his father's hand. His father loves Mingda the most."

Li Shimin smiled and nodded, and said slowly: "Mingda, you are sixteen years old this year, and it's time to leave your father and find a good family."

Li Mingda trembled all over when he heard this, lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes flashed twice, and said, "Mingda will not marry, Mingda will always be with his father."

"Nothing." Li Shimin pretended to be angry, but there was a smile on his face.

Li Mingda suddenly knelt down on the ground and said solemnly: "Father, I really don't want to get married, I just want to stay with my father."

Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, then pulled her up, stared at her eyes for a moment, and said slowly: "Mingda, you have always been well-behaved and obedient, and quite sensible. You should know that men should get married when they are old and women should get married when they are old. As long as you have the ability, even if you can get married at the age of thirty or forty, women's youth is so short. If you miss this great time, you will only regret your life in the end. How can your father delay your life because he can't bear to give up on you?"

I have to say that Li Shimin is old, but he has begun to truly consider family affection. At this age, all great achievements have become weak for him. After experiencing the events of Li Tai and Li Chengqian, he has now begun to truly care about his children. Li Mingda is his most beloved daughter, and Li Shimin naturally does not dare to be vague about her lifelong event.

After hearing what Li Shimin said, Li Mingda couldn't speak, because she also felt that Li Shimin's words made sense. She knew that if her father delayed her, both of them would eventually feel regretful for the rest of their lives. After a long silence, she nodded and said softly: "What the father taught me is that Mingda understands."

Li Zhi, who had been by the side, stepped forward and said, "Father, my son-in-law also wants to help him with the matter of Mingda's sister."

When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately smiled and said with a heartfelt smile: "That's good, do you have any good suggestions?"

Li Zhidao: "As the saying goes, parents' orders and matchmakers' words, but Mingda's sister is the most beloved pearl in the palm of your father. How can you treat it casually? My son suggested that you ask Mingda's sister what she has to ask first."

In fact, he wanted to give Li Mingda a chance to tell the person he liked. He knew that his sister liked Li Hao.

Li Shimin naturally understood Li Zhi's thoughts, turned around and asked Li Mingda with a smile, and said, "Mingda, Chang'an has many talents, is there anyone you like?"

Although Li Mingda likes Li Hao, she is embarrassed to say it. After all, she is a girl and is not that thick-skinned, so she said: "Back to the father, the good spouse in the hearts of the son minister must be a hero."

Li Shimin laughed and said, "My daughter's family likes great heroes. Let's talk about it, are there any other requirements?"

Li Mingda continued: "He also must be civil and military talents and extraordinary wisdom."

"Well..." Li Shimin pretended to stroke his beard. Although she knew that Li Mingda was talking about Li Hao, he still had to take care of his daughter's face and pretended to be quiet, "You need to be civil and military talents and to be extremely wise. There are not many such people."

Li Zhi's eyes rolled and suggested: "Father, why not hold a competition to recruit prince consorts? It just so happens that Chang'an will be lively and lively."

Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard this, nodded and smiled at Li Zhi, and said, "Well, Zhier, your proposal is very wonderful. Since Gar Dongzan led his troops to Chang'an, the prosperity of our Chang'an is much worse than before. This method can really make Chang'an lively, and it can also find a good match for the pearl in my hand."

Li Mingda was surprised and inexplicably heard this. She was a little anxious. She didn't mean this at all. How could it be like this? She was about to speak, but she saw Li Zhi winking at her. The brother and sister had always had a good relationship. She immediately understood what Li Zhi meant and kept her mouth shut.

At this time, Li Shimin had already looked at Li Mingda and asked, "Mingda, do you have any objections to this method?"

Li Mingda immediately said: "Everything depends on the father."

"Okay." Li Shimin said with a smile, "Zhier, go back and prepare and write a memorial for me to see."

"Yes, Father!" Li Zhi bowed and took the order.

The three of them wandered in the garden for a while. Xu Lian came to remind Li Shimin that it was time to review the memorials, and Li Zhi and Li Mingda left.

After leaving the garden, Li Zhi leaned into Li Mingda's ear and said, "You don't have to worry, I will let the teacher participate too."

Li Mingda's pretty face turned red when he heard this. Unexpectedly, Li Zhi saw through all his little thoughts. Fortunately, this is his closest brother, so it would be fine if he was a little shy. She lowered her head and whispered: "Thank you, Brother Zhinu."

Li Zhi smiled and said, "What are you thanking? You are my favorite sister. My brother naturally hopes that you will marry the person you like, but it's a pity that Li Hao already has a wife..."

Li Mingda hurriedly said, "Mingda doesn't care."

Li Zhi said helplessly: "But the father cares. Do you think the father will be willing to let you marry Li Hao as a concubine? Even if the father agrees, all officials will not agree. After all, this does not match the etiquette."

Li Mingda was stunned when he heard this, and was stunned for a long time before asking anxiously: "Then...what should I do?"

Li Zhi spread his hands and shrugged: "I don't know. I think now. There are two most likely results. One is that you marry a husband and become a wife. The father ordered the husband to divorce the wife of Li, and then re-apply Li as a wife or concubine."

"This... how can this be done!" Li Mingda exclaimed. When she went to Li Hao's house before, Li Ping was very kind to her. How could Li Mingda, who was kind-hearted, bear to treat Li Ping like this?

Li Zhi also thoughtfully said: "I also think this matter is inappropriate. I am afraid that the gentleman will not agree. Even if the father issued an edict, he may not accept it. At that time, he will be disrespectful to resist the edict. Maybe those in the court will impeach the gentleman."

Li Mingda hurriedly asked, "What about another result?"

Li Zhi said: "The other result is that you don't marry the gentleman, but you'll find someone you like to marry."

Li Mingda suddenly fell into a state of silence. After a long time, she slowly looked up, looked at Li Zhi, and said leisurely: "Brother Zhinu, I... suddenly... don't want to get married."

Li Zhi looked gloomy when he heard this. He could understand the pain in Li Mingda's heart. It was a very painful thing to not marry the person he liked. Seeing Li Mingda's eyes with tears in his eyes, he remembered a person, a person who had been almost crazy for her. That person has now been ordained at Ganye Temple and lived a daily life of the ancient Buddha of green lamps and morning bells and evening drums. All of this arises because of him. This person is naturally Wu Meiniang.

"Maybe, I should go and see her." Li Zhi said softly, feeling the soreness between his nose and almost burst into tears.

"Brother Zhinu, please help me." Li Mingda's voice suddenly called Li Zhi out of his longing.

Li Zhiwei calmed down and nodded, "Okay, I'll go and visit the sir later and ask him for advice. He is resourceful and should have good plans."

"This..." Li Mingda hesitated for a while when he heard this. In this way, Li Hao would know that he had a crush on him, which was really shameful, but she thought that this was related to her life and could not neglect her, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go together."
