Chapter 1998 The high-ranking military officials of the whole dynasty almost lied on the door of the old Cheng's house
Empress Changsun was in the Wencheng Hall, personally supervising the maids and eunuchs sweeping the Wencheng Hall court.
I just didn't expect that my husband Li Shimin would go to Zhenguan Hall to attend court less than half an hour later.
He returned to Wencheng Hall with a pulled face and a very unhappy mood.
Empress Changsun greeted her and asked in a low voice with concern.
"Husband, something happened during the court meeting today?"
Li Shimin sighed helplessly.
"Yes, something has indeed happened. Almost all of the great military officials of the dynasty are lying on the door of the old Cheng's house."
After hearing this, Empress Changsun quickly pursed her red lips, raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows.
"... Mr. Lu is holding a family dinner again?"
"That's right, Cheng Yaojin was very proud when he found out that his wife, Saburo, was going to get married soon. He invited many guests and friends and made a scene all night long."
"But I was too harsh in my treatment. After much deliberation, I could only fine him a year's salary. Alas..."
Empress Changsun couldn't help but be polite. With a glance, the palace maids and eunuchs all exited the palace in a wise manner.
After taking her husband and sitting in front of the couch, Empress Changsun spoke softly.
"...My husband has done the right thing. It is normal for Duke Lu to be a little carried away with his joy. After all, not everyone can be like the Cheng family and be able to marry the apple of His Majesty's eye."
After hearing what Empress Changsun said, Li Shimin felt much better.
Also, his beloved daughter cannot be married to anyone who wants to. The old Cheng family is about to marry Xiao Sizi.
The whole family was so happy that they lost their temper, but... they couldn't bear to be harshly criticized.
"The wedding date has been set for 18 days later. Although my father said he would host Xiao Sizi's wedding, in fact, we still have to work hard. Alas..."
Hearing this, Empress Changsun also nodded in agreement. There was nothing she could do, after all, her father-in-law was so old.
You can't just let him make the decision on everything. The most you can do is let him show his face more when he is energetic and have more sense of participation.
Seeing her husband's sighing and sighing look, Empress Changsun couldn't help but think of her husband at that time, but he never had any worries.
He and his brother spent time fooling around together, and it was at that time that the two formed a deep friendship.
In the blink of an eye, my husband has also reached this age. Not only has his beloved daughter Ye grown up, but she is about to get married.
Even my grandson can already run and jump. It’s really sad to see how time flies...
And Li Xiang's cleverness is really not much different from that of her husband when he was young. Well, they are both smart and playful children.
The husband in his eyes seemed to have turned into that young baby again, and even his image began to overlap with that of Li Xiang's good grandson.
Li Shimin was drinking tea when he suddenly noticed that something was wrong with the eyes of his beloved wife Guanyin. She always felt that her expression was too kind and her gaze was too doting.
The strong care from the elders made Li Shimin's scalp tingle.
Xingzi couldn't help but swallowed, and asked carefully, "Guanyin, what are you looking at?"
"It's okay. Since my husband has already decided on the date, let's just follow it. I will obey my husband's orders."
"I will take care of all matters in the palace, so your husband does not have to worry about them."
"Okay, okay, thank you Guanyin for being considerate of me. This matter can only be handled by you, so that I can rest assured..."

When he woke up, his father's salary had been reduced by another year. This kind of news was very difficult for Cheng Sanlang.
It seems a bit, well...a bit accustomed to it. After all, when they heard the news, the four old Cheng family father and son had a good sleep.
While enjoying a sumptuous meal, some bad-tempered people heard that their annual salary was gone.
He might be a trash-talker who would slap the table and hit the bench. But as a well-educated old Cheng family who has passed down poetry and calligraphy to his family.
Facing such storms, the most we can do is raise our eyebrows and eat and drink when we should.
General Cheng waved his hand in disgust and signaled the steward who came to report to leave.
"Okay, okay, come down quickly, don't disturb my interest in eating, ugh..."
"A year's salary is gone again, it's really..." Cheng Yaojin picked up the wine glass and took a sip of Cheng's secret Sanle pulp which was not intoxicating but also nourishing.
He turned his head and looked at Saburo, who was most similar to him in appearance and mind, with a face filled with relief.
"But it's not a big deal. Your Majesty has reduced my salary by one year.
But our Sanlang took his daughter-in-law home as his daughter-in-law, and our old Cheng family made a profit."
"Dad is right. Come on, let me respect you."
"Okay, okay..." Cheng Yaojin took another mouthful of Sanle juice, wiped his mouth, and said to Cheng Sanlang who was working hard there.
"Sanlang, there were many guests at home yesterday, so I didn't have time to explain to you yesterday."
"Your Majesty has asked Zong Zheng to discuss with the Ministry of Rites and choose a good day, which is more than half a month later, at the turn of spring and summer..."
"I have asked people to rush back to Chang'an and ask your mother and your brothers and sisters to come over as soon as possible."
"What's more, ask your mother to invite the Yang mother and daughter to come with her..."
Cheng Sanlang ate and nodded frequently. He knew very well that his father's ability to do things could definitely make people feel at ease.
But in the following days, all Cheng Sanlang needs to do is to hand over his errands, and then he has to stay in the mansion honestly.
After hearing this, Cheng Chubi suddenly became unhappy, spit out the bones in his mouth, and muttered something softly.
"Dad, I am a man and not a young lady. Do I have to stay in the house all day?"
Cheng Yaojin stroked his thick beard like a steel needle and said helplessly.
"It's true that you are a big boss, but who makes you a top-notch kid in making trouble?"
"Your Majesty has said it before. If you dare to make any trouble and ruin your reputation before getting married, your Majesty will take back your orders."
"So, you, my boy, will stay in the house for me and you are not allowed to go out and mess around."
"If I don't have Princess Jinyang as my good daughter-in-law, believe it or not, I will skin you."
He saw his own father with a fierce look in his eyes and raised his fingers with a murderous look.
The eldest brother and the second brother on the side nodded crazily and agreed in unison.
Cheng Chubi rolled his eyes helplessly and agreed obediently.
"...Chengchengcheng, if you stay in the house, you will stay in the house, and the baby will be well fed."
But when I think about it, I am here to get a wife, so it doesn’t matter if I suffer a little injustice, it is better than not having a wife at all.
Besides, if I can't get out by myself, it doesn't mean that I can't call someone over. Since His Majesty has strictly ordered me not to leave the house.
If you don't get out, you won't get out. At worst, it's not impossible to call the brothers to the house to fight by midnight.
Even in the prison of Dali Temple, I can still live a very comfortable life with a bunch of bad friends, let alone my own home.
