Chapter 219 Dumozhi
Before Li Chengqian left Ganlu Palace, Li Er earnestly exhorted him: "Chengqian, don't always put your energy on other things, you should pay more attention to your family."
"Go and see the Crown Princess and Concubine Liang when you have time. As a father, shouldn't you pay more attention to the daily life, homework, and studies of the two children?"
"I will remember your father's teachings! I will not neglect the Crown Princess and the others, and I will also take good care of the two children." Li Chengqian said.
"Not only that, you have to work harder and give me a few more grandchildren!" Li Er smiled.
Finally, Li Chengqian returned to the East Palace under Li Er's repeated instructions. As it was late at night, Li Chengqian did not go to the harem.
"Wang Quan! Prepare meals tomorrow, and let the Crown Princess, Liang Di, and the two brothers Xiang'er eat together with me." Li Chengqian gave the order, and then undressed and went to bed.
Wang Quan kept Li Chengqian's words in mind, and got up early the next morning to prepare breakfast, and sent someone to notify the Crown Princess Su and Liang Di Xiao, as well as Li Xiang and Li Jue.
The whole family had a harmonious breakfast, and Li Chengqian also paid appropriate attention to their lives and the academic situation of the two children.
Li Chengqian's attitude towards the Crown Princess was still lukewarm. For Li Chengqian now, the Crown Princess in front of him was his ex's wife.
In a sense, she was someone else's wife, and he never thought about other people's women.
In reality, the woman sitting next to him is his wife in name, which makes him feel a little alienated.
As for the two children, in a sense, they are also other people's children. In terms of blood relationship, these two children are his, Li Chengqian's.
But for the other soul who has occupied the nest, he is still somewhat unwilling to accept it.
But on second thought, he has occupied the body of the original owner and inherited everything from him. He can't just ignore these two children!
What's more, Li Xiang lost his mother when he was young, which is a bit pitiful! He can just treat it as caring for an orphan. Anyway, the Li Tang royal family will not lack him for food.
Compared to his indifference to the Crown Princess, Li Chengqian was much more enthusiastic towards Xiao Liangdi. Xiao Liangdi was the woman in the true sense of the word when he came to this world.
Naturally, he would be closer to her, which also made Xiao Liangdi more arrogant and domineering.
There was no way, who made our Xiao Liangdi so loved by the Crown Prince.
The Crown Princess had long been accustomed to Li Chengqian's indifference. Anyway, the Crown Prince had been ignoring her for more than one or two days, and she had long been accustomed to it!
After finishing his meal in silence, Li Xiang sat aside blankly without saying a word.
Li Chengqian looked at Li Xiang and said, "Da Lang! What's wrong with you? You look so gloomy. You shouldn't be like this at your age. You should be sunny, optimistic and cheerful." "
Father is right!" Li Xiang saluted.
"You seem to be worried about something. Talk to your father." Li Chengqian tried his best to act like a loving father.
After all, in his previous life, he was just one of the many fat guys in the new era. He had never even held a girl's hand, let alone being a father!
He really had no experience in this regard. To be honest, when he became a father right after his rebirth, he was more or less unable to accept it.
But after a long time, he got over it! No matter what, the two children in front of him called him dad, and they were biologically father and son.
"Today is my mother's memorial day, I think..." Li Xiang bowed his head.
"What do you want? If you want to go and pay respect, go ahead!" Li Chengqian said, and said to Wang Quan who was serving beside him: "Prepare more offerings and take good care of Xiang'er!"
This was what Li Chengqian could do for this "orphan". He would definitely not accompany this child to pay respect to his mother.
Firstly, it was not in accordance with etiquette. No prince had ever paid respect to a palace maid who did not even have a title. Secondly, she was the woman of his predecessor and had nothing to do with the current Li Chengqian.
"Don't worry, my lord! I know what to do!" Wang Quan replied.
"Big brother, if you need anything, just tell Wang Quan and let him prepare it for you." Li
Chengqian said. "Thank you, father!" Li Xiang saluted.
"Okay, that's all for today. I still have government affairs to deal with, so I won't accompany you!" Li Chengqian wiped his mouth after eating.
"Your Highness! Will you come tonight?" Xiao Liangdi asked.
"We'll see what happens! You don't have to wait. If I go there in the evening, I will send Wang Quan to notify you in advance." After saying that, he turned and left.
Li Chengqian reviewed memorials in the morning. Except for some decisions that Li Er had to make personally, all others were handed over to Li Chengqian for processing.
At the same time, Li Er also issued an edict to allow Li Chengqian to have the power to appoint and dismiss officials below the sixth rank at will, without having to report to Li Er.
From now on, Li Chengqian has the power to appoint and dismiss officials.
In the afternoon, Li Chengqian finally found time to summon Dumozhi. After all, this was something Li Er asked him to do, and it was not good to delay it for too long.
"My lord! Xueyantuo Yitewushi Khan Dumozhi is here." Wang Quan saluted Li Chengqian.
"Your Highness, your Highness, the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, has met you!" Dumozhi saluted and spoke in broken Chinese.
Although his Chinese was a little broken, there was no problem in communicating.
Li Chengqian looked up and saw a 1.8-meter-tall, strong-bodied Hu man in front of him, saluting him with their etiquette.
Dumozhi was the nephew of Xueyantuo Zhenzhu Khan Yinan. After the death of his cousin Duomi Khan Bazhuo, he was elected as Khan by the tribe and was the last Khan of Xueyantuo.
Dumozhi means Tanma Chijun in Turkic Mongolian.
Dumozhi was also a poor guy. Just after he ascended the Khan throne, before he had time to show his ambitions, Xueyantuo was completely destroyed and finally had to submit to the Tang Dynasty.
"No need to be polite! Please take a seat!" Li Chengqian said.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Dumozhi thanked and sat down at the side under the guidance of the eunuch.
"During these days in the capital Chang'an, are you getting used to it? How does Chang'an compare to your Xueyantuo?" Li Chengqian asked.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am doing well in Chang'an. Chang'an is really too prosperous, far beyond the reach of my tribe."
"Chang'an is simply a paradise on earth. It is worth my whole life to be able to see the prosperous Chang'an city with my own eyes!" Dumozhi said, and his eyes sparkled when he talked about the prosperity of Chang'an.
"Since you like Chang'an so much, are you willing to stay in Chang'an and serve the Tang Dynasty?" Li Chengqian asked.
"Is this really possible?" Dumozhi asked.
After thinking about it for a few days, Dumozhi knew that the Xueyantuo Khanate had become a thing of the past, and it was impossible to restore the country!
Moreover, Dumozhi really liked the prosperity of Chang'an City and the atmosphere here. In addition to the Han people, there are many people of other nationalities.
In Chang'an City, everyone communicated and learned from each other, and different cultures were exchanged here.
