Speaking of which, Pei Datong can be regarded as coming from a famous family. The dignified "Xi Ma Pei" is one of the most famous families. However, Pei Datong is just a side branch of the Pei family. His ancestors once served as county magistrates in the Sui Dynasty.
However, by his father's generation, his family had already fallen into decline. If Pei Datong had not been eager to learn since childhood and had achieved success in his studies, he would no longer be considered a member of the Pei family. Therefore, Pei Datong did not actually have the aristocratic character of his family.
The disciple was so arrogant that he could neither be arrogant nor humble when he saw the emperor. He had just entered the "Haoran Zhengqi Pavilion". He didn't even see the situation clearly, so he hurriedly took a few steps and knelt down in front of Li Shimin.
In front of him, he said: "My lord, Pei Datong, the captain of Zhechong of Luozhou Prefecture, bows to the Holy One. Long live our emperor, long live, long live!"
Li Shimin had met Pei Datong before, but he was not familiar with him. He only met Pei Datong during his speech after he went to the Ministry of War to report his duties.
After a few nods, Li Shimin gave him a few formulaic words of comfort and asked him to leave. This time he called Pei Datong over for Li Zhen's marriage, and then he took a closer look at Pei Datong's appearance. Without him, he could not control him.
It was just a secret estimate of Pei Yan's appearance that made Li Zhen fascinated. It didn't mean much. But the problem was that Li Shimin had been silent for a long time, which made Pei Datong, who was originally confused, a little confused.
I was so energetic that I didn't dare to raise my head, so I had to kneel on the ground, my body shaking involuntarily.
"Oh, Pei Aiqing, please get up." Mr. Li didn't wake up until he saw Pei Datong shaking non-stop, and ordered with a smile.
"I thank you Lord for your kindness." Pei Datong knelt for a long time. He was secretly thinking whether he had made some mistake and was going to be punished by the Holy Emperor. When he heard the shout, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.
He stood up and stood respectfully.
"Does Pei Aiqing have any children?" Li Shimin asked with a smile about his family affairs, which immediately made Pei Datong confused. But you asked, but you didn't dare not answer. He hurriedly and respectfully replied: "Wei Chen has a son.
Female, Quanzi was originally a bachelor of Hongwen Hall, and now she is also an official in Luozhou."
"Oh, that's good. Father and son are officials in the same state. It's a good story. Yes, yes!" Li Shimin nodded with a smile and said: "How old is your daughter? Has she ever been betrothed to someone else?"
Pei Datong was not a nerd. When Li Shimin asked about Pei Yan, his heart was shocked. Pei Yan was arguing about not getting married, but she didn't say who she liked. Now the emperor openly asked
After seeing Pei Yan, it wasn't obvious that someone in the royal family had a crush on Pei Yan. According to Pei Datong's opinion, the person who caused trouble was the current emperor himself. He was so frightened that his heart was beating wildly, his mouth was open, but he could not speak.
"Does Pei Aiqing have something to hide?" Looking at Pei Datong's virtuous character, the old man suddenly became suspicious and looked at Pei Datong with surprise.
It was better that the old man didn't ask. When he asked, Pei Datong was so frightened that his face was covered with sweat. But he was worried that he would be rude, but he didn't dare to wipe it, so he could only let the sweat roll down.
, replied with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, I don't dare to deceive Your Majesty with lies. My daughter is already fifteen years old and has not yet left the cabinet. But, Wei Chen, Wei Chen..." Pei Datong really didn't know what to say and was stunned.
On the spot.
"Huh?" Seeing Pei Datong's hesitant look, Li Shimin's face suddenly sank, and he snorted coldly. Pei Datong was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me.
Rong Weichen, please speak slowly."
"Speak!" the old man said with a solemn face and without politeness.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I came to Beijing this time. I planned to betroth my daughter to someone. It has been agreed upon, but it has not been decided yet. But my daughter, my daughter is naughty and refuses to obey. I cannot rely on her. I am ashamed.
Ashamed!" Pei Datong saw that Li Shimin's expression was wrong and he dared to conceal it, so he hurriedly told the matter, but he was cautious and did not dare to reveal that the other party was Changsun Wuji.
"Oh? Hahaha..." When Li Shimin heard this, he burst out laughing. His laughter made Pei Datong even more nervous. He was afraid that Li Shimin would ask more questions. Unexpectedly, after Li Shimin had laughed enough, he suddenly looked sideways.
He looked to the side and said with a smile: "Zhen'er, if you haven't come over yet, when can you wait?"
Not to mention, in this duel between emperor and minister, Li Zhen was always on tenterhooks, fearing that Pei Datong would not show his interest, so he forced Changsun Wuji out of the way. At this moment, seeing that Pei Datong was quite sensible, he was secretly relieved.
As soon as the old man called out, Li Zhen immediately strode out, knelt on the ground and said: "My son, I bow to my father."
Li Shimin pointed at Li Zhen with a smile and said to Pei Datong: "Your girl has taken a fancy to this bad boy of mine, so it is natural for her not to marry anyone else. Zhen'er, why don't you go up and give a present to your Lord Taishan?"
Ah, damn, I finally waited until the old man said this, hehe, it feels so good! Li Zhen is a smart person. When he heard Pei Datong say that his daughter was arguing about not marrying, he knew that Pei Yan really had someone in her heart, and she was in a good mood.
I was so excited. Now I heard that the old man had approved the marriage. I was immediately elated. I didn't care about the old man's jokes. I turned around and bowed to Pei Datong, who had not yet understood what was going on.
He bowed and said, "Little Wang Li Zhen has met Mr. Pei."
It wasn't until Li Zhen had already met Li that Pei Datong understood that his daughter was attracted by Li Zhen. He suddenly had mixed feelings in his heart. Without him, Li Zhen was famous throughout the Tang Dynasty.
He is the best in the three armies in martial arts and has great military exploits. Not to mention that as a prince, he has a noble status. Among the poets of the Tang Dynasty, only Li Zhen is the first.
Being the center of attention, Pei Datong was really overjoyed to get such a good son-in-law, but he didn't know how to explain it to Changsun Wuji, but he felt very confused.
, I was a little flustered for a moment, and even forgot to return the gift, I just stood there stupidly.
Li Zhen naturally understood what Pei Datong was thinking and didn't take it seriously at all. She saluted with a smile and stood aside. However, Li Shimin didn't understand Pei Datong's mood. Instead, he thought that Pei Datong was overjoyed.
He immediately joked with a smile: "Pei Aiqing, haha... After a while, I will change my name to Aiqing as my in-laws. The children are not young anymore, so it is best to hurry up and get this matter done, Aiqing."
What do you think?"
"Ah." After hearing Li Shimin's words, Pei Datong suddenly woke up and said quickly: "Just follow your majesty's wishes. I have no objections."
"Okay, then it's settled." Li Shimin nodded with a smile, then turned to Li Zhen and said: "Zhen'er, why don't you go and invite your wife to meet your mothers and concubines, so you can get a meeting gift, right?"
Oh, old man, it’s true. Those guys in the harem are all tigers and wolves. If our little Yan’er falls into them, there’s no telling if there will be any bones left. Li Zhen watched the old man making fun of herself, but
There was nothing she could do. Although she really didn't want Yan'er to suffer that crime, this was etiquette and was absolutely necessary. She had no choice but to pretend to be happy and said, "Yes, I'll go right away." As soon as he finished speaking.
, just as he was about to exit the pavilion, he heard a burst of noise from outside the pavilion, and he immediately stopped. When he looked carefully, he saw Chang Sun Chengliang making a fuss at the cordon outside the pavilion, and his heart suddenly sank -
—Damn it, it’s finally here!
"What's the noise outside?" Li Shimin suddenly darkened his face when he heard the chaos outside, and asked coldly. Gao Yao, the eunuch who was standing next to the old man, hurriedly trotted all the way to the outside of the pavilion, but turned back after a moment and came together.
He came to Li Shimin's side and said: "Your Majesty, it is the eldest grandson Situ's young son, eldest son Chengliang, who is making a fuss about meeting the saint."
"Huh?" Li Shimin frowned, thought for a while and said, "Xuan him to come in." Suddenly he saw that Li Zhen had not left the cabinet, Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "Zhen'er, why don't you go quickly."
The Japanese ***, grab the person first and then talk about it! Li Zhen's heart moved, and she quickly bowed and said: "Yes, I obey my order." As soon as he finished speaking, he strode out of the pavilion and walked there in a few steps.
At the noisy cordon, regardless of Changsun Chengliang staring at him with blood-red eyes, Li Zhen looked at the pale Pei Yan with a smile and said softly: "Yan'er, your Majesty and your father have agreed.
Regarding our marriage, Xiao Wang has been ordered to invite Miss Yan'er to have an audience with all the mothers and concubines."
Pei Yan looked at Li Zhen's smiling face, her face turned pale at first, and then slowly turned red. She lowered her head and said nothing, but kept playing with the jade pendant given by Li Zhen.
"Yan'er, don't be afraid, I am responsible for everything. Besides, an ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her parents-in-law, right?" Li Zhen looked at the shy and pleasant Pei Yan and joked with a smile, which immediately annoyed Pei Yan.
He raised his hand and said as if he was about to strike: "I hate it, who is ugly?"
"Hahaha..." Li Zhen was so amused by Pei Yan that she burst into laughter. Not only did Li Zhen laugh loudly, but the surrounding Yulin officers and soldiers also fell forward and backward with laughter. Only Changsun Chengliang did not laugh.
Staring with blood-red eyes, he shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness, the King of Yue, please don't bully others too much. I will go and see you!"
Come on, get the hell out of you! Li Zhen ignored Changsun Chengliang's howling at all, looked at Pei Yan with a smile and said: "Yan'er, let's go, I'm afraid it won't be good if we ask the mothers and concubines to wait.
.”
Pei Yan blushed, nodded shyly, said "hmm" softly, and then stopped looking up. Li Zhen laughed, walked over, gently took Pei Yan's little hand and said: "Come on, Xiao Wang will accompany you."
You go together." As soon as he finished speaking, he took Pei Yan's hand and started to walk into the pavilion.
Seeing that Li Zhen was about to take away his sweetheart, Changsun Chengliang finally couldn't help but explode. While the Yulin Army officers and soldiers were watching the fun, he grabbed the hand of a Yulin Army soldier next to him.
The spear rushed towards Li Zhen, and he shouted crazily: "I will fight with you!"
This shot was extremely fierce and powerful. It stabbed Li Zhen's vest with a roar. The soldiers of the Yulin Army who were laughing happily suddenly became confused, but there was no time to block the shot.
, everyone screamed in surprise. When Changsun Wuji, who came from all the way, saw this, his vision suddenly went dark and he shouted loudly: "Liang'er, stop it!" Unfortunately, the scene was in chaos at this time.
How could anyone hear clearly what Changsun Wuji was shouting? It was too late! dd
