The setting sun is about to set, and the entire city of Chang'an is shrouded in the afterglow of the sun. The Tai Chi Palace glows golden under the sunlight.
There is a pavilion in the Imperial Garden of the Inner Palace. The table is made of finely carved sandalwood and nanmu. The floor mat is covered with yellow brocade. It is fully decorated with pendants, screens and other items.
The radiance of the setting sun shines through the screen, coating the furnishings in the room with a light golden color, making them look noble and elegant.
It was rare for Li Shimin to finish handling political affairs so early and sip tea comfortably.
The clear and long fragrance of tea spreads along with the water vapor in the tea cup, refreshing the heart and lungs, making people feel refreshed and forget their worries.
Li Shimin picked up the white porcelain teacup and took a sip of hot tea, letting some of the hot tea slip down his throat.
It was slightly hot at first, but soon the freshness and comfort filled my whole body. I narrowed my tiger eyes in enjoyment and savored the wonderful taste of the tea that stimulated my taste buds.
This tea seems ordinary, and the drinking process is extremely simple. It doesn't have to be as complicated as the previous tea soup, but there are not many things to pay attention to.
The water temperature, heat, and even the tea set, every aspect and every utensil are extremely picky and cannot be sloppy, otherwise the taste of the brewed tea will always be slightly different.
Looking at the white porcelain tea set on the table, which was snatched from Yang Fan's house, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel relieved when he thought of Yang Fan's aggrieved look.
Who makes this guy like to squeeze on himself every time!
And today is even more disgusting. Not only is he making fun of himself, he actually wants to marry his own daughter. He is so bold.
Others, even Princess Shang, have been blessed for eight lifetimes. How can anyone dare to negotiate terms with me and say that they want to marry a princess?
What a fool!
Now that I think about it, my head hurts. Although this guy's acting style is a bit clumsy, he is indeed talented.
If the craftsmen made the things he talked about, wouldn't they be fulfilling their promises?
Let his daughter marry him?
Thinking of this, Li Shimin's temples were beating wildly.
If you really marry your daughter to this guy, I don’t know how the remonstrators in the court will criticize me.
Feeling depressed, I had no choice but to pick up the tea cup and take another sip. The fresh and timeless taste was much better than the mixed-flavored tea soup.
That bastard's brain is really useful, and he can make such delicious tea casually.
While Li Shimin was drinking tea, he was thinking about the impact this novel way of drinking tea would have.
If promoted, this would be a huge amount of income. It was really cunning to think that when I wanted to keep it for myself, that guy bought it first and registered it.
If Yang Fan knew Li Shimin's thoughts, he would definitely admire him. He was indeed a wise and wise emperor.
After all, after fried tea became popular in the Song Dynasty, it became one of the financial pillars of the Central Plains dynasty for more than a thousand years. Every year, trade with other countries brought countless silver to the Central Plains.
Putting down the tea cup, Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh, Yang Fan was a man of both civil and military skills, so even if his daughter married him, it wouldn't be too aggrieved.
However, when I thought of that boy's stingy appearance, I couldn't get angry at all.
Knowing that he was about to become his father-in-law, he was reluctant to give him several kilograms of tea. It was really abominable.
At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came, and Li Shimin frowned slightly and sighed.
It seemed that I had managed to steal a long moment of leisure, but I was afraid that it would be wasted again.
I thought it was the chamberlain who came to report, but unexpectedly, a figure flashed from behind the screen, and two pretty figures ran in quickly.
A shout of 'Father...' sounded in my ears, and then the fragrant wind blew my nose, and a slender figure stood in front of me.
It turned out to be Princess Gaoyang, and Li Shimin's mood suddenly improved again. He secretly laughed at himself, but he didn't expect that he would also be tired of official duties one day.
However, when he saw Jiao Didi standing in front of him and looking at Gao Yang, she was a little shy and hesitated to speak. Her eyes were red, and she had obviously cried.
Li Shimin asked hurriedly: "Shu'er, have you been wronged in any way? Tell your father that he will make the decision for you."
Princess Gaoyang has a soft personality on the outside but is strong on the inside. She acts resolutely and resolutely, and will never give up easily on what she wants to do.
Her acting style is quite similar to that of Li Shimin, which is why she stands out among the princesses and is favored by all.
It is rare to see her coy and coy. Li Shimin can't remember the last time Princess Gaoyang cried.
Even if this girl cried when she was a child, she would just bite her lips and shed a few tears.
But at this time, he lowered his head and said nothing, his eyes were red and swollen like peaches, something was obviously wrong.
What happened that made Princess Gaoyang so aggrieved?
"Hmm..., it's all my father. Now my father doesn't love Gao Yang anymore."
Fortunately, he didn't ask. When Li Shimin asked, Gao Yang, whose eyes were just slightly red, shrugged his shoulders and started crying.
Xiaoqiong's nose was sobbed and she was choking. Tears were streaming down her face, which was as white as jade. She was crying like a mess, and she looked extremely aggrieved.
This operation confused Li Shimin. He didn't seem to have offended the little master in front of him, right?
After thinking about it, Li Shimin didn't think there was anything wrong, so he asked softly: "Shu'er, please don't think so wildly. How can my father not love you?"
Gao Yang pouted and asked: "If my father loves me, why did he marry Gao Yang?"
It turned out that this was what happened, which made Li Shimin dumbfounded. If this was the case, was it necessary to cry so hard?
Seeing Li Shimin's teasing expression, Princess Gao Yang knew that her acting was a little too much. She lowered her head and leaned on her arms in embarrassment, rubbing the corners of her clothes vigorously with her little hands.
What can I do if I don't cry fiercely? If Li Shimin doesn't take back his fate, she will really be the first princess to be 'married' in the Tang Dynasty royal family. Wouldn't it seem that her status is much lower?
At this time, Li Shimin of course guessed his daughter's little thoughts, and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, men should be married when they are young, and girls should be married when they are young. Shu'er is about to get haircut, and she will always get married. Your father and mother have chosen one for you.
You should be happy for your husband, who is both civilized and military."
Princess Gao Yang's face turned red with embarrassment. She came to Li Shimin's side with swaying steps. She held her arm and shook her arms and said coquettishly: "Gao Yang doesn't want it. What's more, according to the queen mother, the stick actually wants to 'marry' Gao Yang. If she is
If he marries back, what should he do if he beats Gao Yang? Gao Yang doesn’t want it!"
When Li Shimin heard this, he quickly comforted him and said, "Don't worry, my children are all dragons and phoenixes. I'm afraid he wouldn't dare to attack Shu'er. Besides, my father has not yet agreed to marry Shu'er to him. I think...
It's not that easy to marry my daughter."
Hearing that there was a turn of events, Princess Gao Yang immediately broke down in tears and said with a smile: "Thank you very much, Father. In that case, let's not let Gao Yang marry him. From now on, Gao Yang will always be with Father and Queen."
Li Shimin's face turned solemn and shouted: "Shu'er, don't talk nonsense. Once I open my golden mouth, how can I change my order overnight? Whether it is 'marry' or 'shang', there is no final conclusion yet, so don't talk nonsense."
Seeing that it was impossible to change Li Shimin's mind, Princess Gao Yang rolled her big eyes and said, "In this case, my father must agree to Gao Yang on one condition."
"Oh? Shu'er, tell me, if father can do it, it will be as you wish." Li Shimin picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and agreed with a smile.
Gao Yang raised his head arrogantly and said softly: "Uncle Zhongyi beat the Duke angrily for a concubine. If he wants Gao Yang to marry him, then he has to do it for Gao Yang. Otherwise, it won't look good."
Gao Yang is one level lower than his concubines?"
Gao Yang's words confused Li Shimin. What kind of brain circuit is this?
Wu Meiniang was in trouble because Yang Fan was bullied by Duke Ying's government.
You are a princess, you are well-dressed and well-fed, and you have not suffered any grievances. Now if Yang Fan is asked to hit someone, who will he hit? Are you going to hit yourself?
Thinking of this, Li Shimin's face suddenly turned dark.
But no matter how wise and powerful Li Shimin is, he still can't guess the girl's thoughts.
He knows that every girl hopes in her heart that her husband will marry her hero on colorful clouds.
The arrogant Gao Yang certainly didn't want to be inferior to Wu Mei Niang, so he came up with this idea.
