Hearing Li Chen's question, Li Peipei, who was already somewhat mentally prepared, trembled, lowered her head and said, "Not yet."
Most of the marriages of princes and princesses are not up to themselves, especially for princes, who are kept in a deep palace all day long and have few contacts with men of the opposite sex of the same age, so it is naturally impossible for them to find a favorite partner.
What's more, women with free will like Su Jinpa are definitely very few in this era, so Li Peipei's answer was within Li Chen's expectation.
Li Chen said calmly: "You have reached your age. If you don't get married, you will become a big girl, which is not suitable for both emotions and reason. My second brother plans to find a marriage for you. The object is General Su's eldest son, Su."
Pingbei, he just came back from a victorious battle, you must have heard of him?"
Li Peipei said softly: "General Su is young and promising. Peipei has heard of some of his heroic deeds."
Li Chen smiled and said: "That's the best. General Su has a son and a daughter. His daughter Su Jinpa will marry into the East Palace soon and become the crown princess. I want to get closer, and the wealth will not go to outsiders."
, I plan to point you out to Su Pingbei. As the royal princess, you must be the first wife, and wealth and wealth are indispensable for you. Are you willing?"
Even though she was mentally prepared, she knew that it looked like Li Chen was asking her for her wishes, but in fact she had no choice at all. But at this time, Li Peipei still found it difficult to say those three words: "I do."
.
Li Peipei was always a little embarrassed to have to tie her lifelong happiness to that strange man for no reason and whom she had never met before.
If the emperor proposed the marriage, there would be no step of summoning Li Peipei to ask her opinion. They would just issue an imperial edict to choose a date and get married.
But since Li Chen summoned Li Peipei, it shows that he is still unwilling to force her too much.
Standing up and walking to Li Peipei, Li Chen said earnestly: "My father, the emperor, has many children, but the age difference is huge. The youngest is only seven or eight years old now, and there are only a few of them who are of the right age to be adults. Among the emperor's daughters and princesses, only
You and Lao Shisan."
"Old Thirteen's mother's status is too low, and she is only a concubine. She is not as noble as your mother's concubine, so speaking of it, only you and Su Pingbei are a good match."
"I also know Su Pingbei. He has a straightforward personality and is ambitious. He is determined to do something for the imperial court. He will not be any worse at treating his wife and children."
"At the very least, if you marry him, you will always be in the capital, and you will be able to accompany your mother to some extent. Your mother, Concubine Duan, is in frail health and has been taking medicine for most of the year. If you marry far away in the future, you will have a headache and a fever.
I can’t wait for you, so this is the best choice for you.”
Hearing Li Chen's words, Li Peipei's eyes turned red and she whispered: "Thank you, second brother, for your thoughtfulness and concern. My sister will listen to second brother in everything."
"very good."
Li Chen smiled and said: "In that case, I will call Su Pingbei over, and you can meet and talk in private to get familiar with each other."
Li Peipei nodded slightly to agree.
Someone sent Li Peipei to rest, and then Li Chen summoned Su Pingbei.
"The last general, Su Pingbei, meets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Looking at the heroic Su Pingbei kneeling in front of him, Li Chen said: "My wife has been found for you. She is in the side hall next to her. You go over to meet and talk, and then go to the back garden of the East Palace for a stroll.
, if you have the ability, you can take her out of the palace for a trip."
