It had been a long time since I entered the imperial city. When Li Shan entered the Zhuque Gate and saw the crowds of people on Chengtianmen Street, he remembered that today happened to be the 15th day of the third lunar month. Hey, he was absent again today. The people at Yushitai were busy again.
Done.
Li Shan deliberately waited for a while by Zhuque Gate, waiting until the flow of people dispersed to various government offices and no one left on the street. After all, he still had his female relatives with him today.
However, when passing by Zhongshu Province, Cui Xin was waiting at the door early, and he didn't know who the fast-talking guy was who tipped off the news.
"Greetings to my father-in-law." Li Shan bowed and said hello to Yuwen Shiji beside him.
Cui Xin was too lazy to talk to Li Shan. He didn't even look at Li Shan from beginning to end. His eyes only fell on his daughter's face in the back... With that posture, if his daughter showed any signs of being wronged, I guess the Qinghe County official would
The King of Wei was about to be beaten on the spot.
"Greetings to your father." Cui Shiniang said with a smile, "The saint summoned you yesterday."
Li Shan added: "After leaving the imperial city, I will take Eleven Niang back to Ning."
Cui Xin responded casually, motioned for his daughter to follow him a few steps, and asked a few words in a low voice. Li Shan was a little aggrieved. Could it be that he really treated your little cabbage so badly?
"I love my daughter so much." Yuwen Shiji said with a smile, "Are you satisfied now?"
Seeing this young man coming from a white body, Yu Wenshi felt an unknown sense of satisfaction deep in his heart. He didn't know why he wanted to protect him back then, but he never thought that he would be here today.
"I also want to thank my uncle." Li Shan hesitated for a while and whispered: "The day after the wedding, Dongshan Temple sent a string of Buddhist beads."
Yuwen Shiji put away his smile and murmured in a low voice, "That's fine, that's fine..."
Li Shan did not know what was going on, and Yu Wenshi and Princess Nanyang's only son, Zen Master Yuwen, died tragically at the sword of Dou Jiande. In the name of Zen Master, the string of beads was the personal belongings of Zen Master Yuwen. Princess Nanyang gave it to Yu Wenshi and her intention was naturally clear.
After all, they were in the imperial city. Cui Xin only asked a few words before letting him go. Watching his daughter and son-in-law enter the Chengtian Gate, he made up his mind to go to Zhongshu Ling Yang Gongren to ask for leave... My daughter Guining, how could I
absent?
It was Cui Shiniang's first time to enter the Tai Chi Palace, and Li Shan was an old acquaintance. He walked around with his wife, turning around, walking back and forth, pointing here and there from time to time, and even saying which flower bed was where the cotton was picked.
When he came, the palace attendants on the side heard it and couldn't laugh or cry.
It took a while to arrive at the Linhu Palace. Li Yuan was a little impatient with the wait and asked his daughter beside him, "Pingyang, I heard that the daughter of the Cui family is a little jealous?"
Princess Pingyang rolled her eyes speechlessly, "What are you saying, father? Is it because you are afraid of your wife if you are compassionate and loving?"
Li Yuan stroked his beard very disrespectfully and said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry, just wait and see when Huairen will have a bastard."
The children of aristocratic families in this era respect their wives. After all, their natal families are also members of the aristocratic family. However, it is common to have concubines, and it is even more common to have concubines. However, there are generally no eldest sons of concubines, and it is difficult for concubines to receive the same teachings as legitimate sons.
, Yin Guan's treatment, so it is difficult to stand out.
If Li Shan knew that Li Yuan thought this way, he would inevitably sneer a few words, "The eldest brother, not to mention the second brother, didn't you yourself have four legitimate sons first, and then the bastard?"
"Greetings to Your Majesty."
"Greetings to Your Majesty."
Li Yuan was speechless. Princess Pingyang beside her coughed twice and said, "This is not a meeting between the king and his ministers. Today is an inquiry from the elders."
Li Shan bowed again, "My nephew Li Shan brought his bride to pay homage to my uncle."
"Hahaha, get up." Li Yuan laughed and said: "As early as a few years ago, I knew that the daughter of the Cui family, Huairen, had finally got her wish. It was a pity that she had no time to enter the palace on the day of the wedding, but she did not go to the palace to pay her respects the next day.
The elder returned to Zhuangzi, can Huairen realize his sin?"
"Know the crime and know the crime." Li Shan was also drunk, and everyone said that Li Yuan regarded me as his nephew, but I really didn't dare to think so.
"Remember that, let's talk about it later." As Li Yuan said, he looked at Cui Shiniang. Her expression was dignified, her clothes were not gorgeous, and there was only a silver hairpin in her bun.
Princess Pingyang winked, and two palace servants came slowly with wooden trays in their hands. Li Shan smiled and asked, "Is this a meeting gift given to the bride by my uncle?"
Li Yuan smiled and scolded: "Is it possible that it was given to you?"
The two wooden plates were filled with jewelry for women. Cui Shiniang only glanced at them twice, her face changed slightly, she did not salute, but glanced sideways at Li Shan.
Li Shan also looked at it and felt a little strange. One box contained a golden hairpin inlaid with gems, but it didn't look eye-catching. The other box contained just a set of cyan Luo Yi. Why did Cui Shiniang
Some hesitation?
"I know you don't know." Princess Pingyang snorted and explained, "This is Zhai Jiu of Ten Trees."
After listening to Princess Pingyang's explanation, Li Shan finally understood that this was the difference between married women in terms of clothing and accessories. In fact, there were women whose mother Zhu was canonized as a first-class woman in the Zheng Kingdom, but Li Shan was still in the army at the time, so she didn't.
Know.
The tree refers to the flower tree, which actually refers to the golden hairpin. There are twelve trees for the queen's flower, eleven trees for the noble concubine's flower, ten trees for the princess' flower, and nine trees for the first rank.
Luo Yi refers to Zhai Yi, the first grade Zhai is the ninth grade, the second grade is the eighth grade, and so on.
But what Li Yuan gave today was the Ten Flower Trees, which were tied with the Crown Princess and were taller than the ordinary first-class women. That's why Cui Shiniang hesitated and didn't know what it meant.
Li Shan's mind turned much faster in this regard. He glanced tentatively at Princess Pingyang, and then looked at Li Yuan after receiving a confirmation look, "Uncle, mother's side..."
"Don't worry, I will give you more." Li Yuan stood up and walked to Li Shan, "Last year, Huairen won a great victory in Jingzhou, defeating the two Turkic Khans who joined forces, and their fame spread all over the grassland. Later, they went to Xiaoguan on a snowy night, and arrived at the original
Zhou, such a great achievement..."
"It's a pity that Huairen is too young. It's not a good thing to go to the three provinces at this time. So I'll reward the female family members. Should Huairen refuse?"
It is actually a bit inappropriate and even a bit shameless to give rewards on the basis of unrewarded achievements.
On the one hand, the war in Lingzhou is not over yet, and on the other hand, Li Yuan chose this time to increase the reward, which means that after the war is over, you, Li Huairen, should not expect anything... He even said that it is difficult to enter the three provinces at a young age.
But such a reward was something Li Shan couldn't refuse, and it was also related to his mother, Mrs. Zhu.
In fact, Shishu Zhaijiu means that Cui Shiniang is not an ordinary first-class married woman, but will be canonized as Princess Wei Si, and Zhu will be canonized as a concubine.
You must know that even in the clan, not every wife and mother of a county prince has been canonized in this way. For example, the wife of Huaiyang King Li Daoxuan was born in the Xue family of Hedong. So far, she has not been canonized as a county princess, but only a first-class wife.
And Li Shan could also understand that it was understandable for Li Yuan to make such a decision. He himself was really unable to increase the reward, and he had no plans to hold any key positions in the court during the Wude period.
