Chapter 637: Xu Jue and Wei Ziang are proposed to each other
Tangli also experienced a strange thing today.
Princess Zheng, who rarely interacts with him, suddenly comes to visit.
Prince Zheng was the younger brother of the late emperor. He was an idle prince with no real power.
Princess Zheng rarely attended palace banquets. Tang Li had only met her once at a palace banquet. They exchanged a few polite words and were not at all familiar with each other.
Therefore, her visit made Tangli feel strange.
Tangli received him politely.
The two chatted for a while, and Princess Zheng explained the purpose of her visit.
Princess Zheng has a daughter, Princess Nanyuan, who is fifteen years old this year and is of marriageable age.
This princess also studied at the Imperial College before, and was a classmate of Xu Jue and Wei Ziang.
The princess seemed to have a good impression of them, and Prince Zheng also knew that the two young men were indeed good candidates for sons-in-law, so he asked Princess Zheng to come to Tang Li's house to test his opinion.
Princess Zheng was very polite to Tang Li. Even though she was a princess, in reality, the one in front of her was the one who was most favored.
Her husband was the Minister of Justice, a favorite of His Majesty, her father was a general, one of her brothers was the Minister of Justice, another was a general, and the other was the consort of the Emperor's favorite princess...
Putting aside the empty talk of rank, this lady is truly noble.
After a conversation, I felt that she was not arrogant and had a gentle personality. It would be a blessing to become her relative.
Tangli was genuinely shocked.
She has quite a bit of experience, but this is her first time dealing with the issue of her children's marriage.
Speaking of which, Xu Jue and Wei Ziang are both sixteen years old, which is indeed not young.
In this era, many people get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen.
Even though she is only 23 years old, as a mother, she should consider her children's marriage.
"I wonder if Princess Nanyuan has a crush on Xu Jue or Zi'ang?" Tang Li asked tentatively.
Princess Zheng frowned almost imperceptibly.
In fact, she also asked her daughter about this matter.
The daughter frowned, feeling very embarrassed. "Xu Jue is great, Zi Ang is great too, it's so hard to choose. Can I marry both of them?"
Princess Zheng was amused: "You still want to choose, what if neither of them likes you?"
The daughter didn't get angry and said frankly, "That's very possible. Mother, you don't know that many people like them. But they're not as nice as father and mother. If they knew I liked them, they could ask. Maybe I could get there first."
Princess Zheng came back to her senses from her memories and said with a smile, "Both of you are outstanding men. If either of you takes a liking to my daughter, we in the Zheng Palace will be happy to welcome you."
"Princess Nanyuan is a kind-hearted and elegant lady. Your Highness is too modest." Tang Li said with a smile.
Later in the conversation, Tangli said he would ask the two children for their opinions before giving a reply.
Princess Zheng was also tactful. She did not say anything about children's marriage being decided by parents or matchmakers. She only said to wait for news from Madam Wu. Even if they could not become in-laws, they could still interact more and become friends.
Tang Li had just seen off Princess Zheng, and the next moment, Xu Jue and Wei Ziang came back after seeing off Zhao Jingxuan.
Tang Li called the two young men over.
Tang Li looked at the two young men in front of him. Both of them grew very fast and were now a head taller than him.
You are really an adult now.
Tangli watched them grow up from seven-year-old babies.
Tang Li chatted with the two teenagers about Zhao Jingxuan for a while, and then turned the topic to lifelong events.
Tang Li asked, "Xu Jue, Zi'ang, do you have a girl you like?"
When Tang Li asked this, Xu Jue was stunned for a moment, and Wei Ziang's handsome face turned red, looking very shy.
No matter how mature they are, they are still teenagers after all, and they will be shy when asked about matters between men and women.
"Mom, no." Wei Ziang said with a red face.
Tang Li looked at Xu Jue. Xu Jue seemed much calmer, but if you looked closely, you could see that his ears were also red.
Xu Jue shook his head.
"Do you still remember Princess Nanyuan?" Tang Li asked.
"That girl, I remember her," Xu Jue said. "She followed me and Ziang like a little tail, and she was quite well behaved."
Wei Ziang looked at him and blinked: "She seems to like you and stuffed flowery notes into your books."
"She stuffed it for you, too."
Wei Ziang was surprised: "Why didn't I see it?"
"The scientific examination is coming soon, and I was afraid it would affect your reading, so I asked her to take it back."
"So Nan Yuan likes both of us?"
"A fickle girl." Xu Jue snorted.
The two of them chatted with each other, talking about Princess Nanyuan.
It seems that he has a good relationship with the young princess, but there is no romantic relationship between them.
Wei Ziang said seriously, "Mother, I don't want to get married yet. When I find a girl I like, I'll tell you and you can make the decision for me. How about that?"
Xu Jue also said, "Zi'ang and I have the same idea."
Tangli nodded: "Okay."
In the evening, Tang Li talked about this matter with Wei Qing.
"Husband, time flies. When I first came to this family, Ziang was only seven years old, a little kid. Now he is old enough to get married." Tang Li sighed.
Wei Qing held the person in his arms, thinking about the past, which had indeed passed too quickly.
If you think about it carefully, when he bought his wife, he was 18 and she was less than 15. Now it has been more than eight years, almost nine years, his wife is 23, and he is 27.
During these nearly nine years, he and his wife had been separated for a lot of time. If you counted carefully, they had only spent half of their time together.
Before he met his wife, he had no concept of time. He just lived one day at a time, muddling through. He had no sadness, no happiness, and no hope.
After the two of them got together, their days became very enjoyable, and he hoped that time would pass more slowly.
He is twenty-seven years old this year and hopes that he can finish this matter before he turns thirty and live a free and easy life with his wife.
"Wife, when the time comes, we will find a place to live in seclusion in the mountains. I will farm, hunt, cook, and do the laundry..." Wei Qing said.
"Then what should I do?" Tang Li said with a smile.
"Wife, you just take care of eating, sleeping, and being beautiful." Wei Qing hugged her tighter, placed a kiss on her forehead, and then let her lean on his arms.
Tang Li put his face against his chest, listened to his heartbeat, and looked forward to the days he described.
Later, Tang Li found an opportunity to reject Princess Zheng. Princess Zheng was not angry at all and even visited him several times.
In the following days, Tangli had some free time and spent time with the two babies.
The two babies are ten months old and have already started learning to walk.
Tang Bao sat on the bed, lazily, and refused to get up.
On the contrary, Mu Bao was very active. Wearing small shoes embroidered with cute little rabbits, he stumbled towards Tang Li.
Tang Li opened his arms, picked up Mu Bao who ran to him, poked his chubby little face, and praised: "Mu Bao is so amazing."
Mu Bao giggled at the praise.
Tang Bao rolled her eyes and stretched her little feet, just some small movements.
Tangli discovered it.
"Tangbao, come down and take a walk too." Tangli said.
