Chapter 229 Princess's Marriage

"Your son pays respects to the emperor!" Li Chengqian bowed to Li Er.

"Chengqian, why are you here? Is there anything?" Li Er, who was lying on the sickbed, looked at Li Chengqian and asked.

Li Zhi personally fed Li Er medicine by his side, taking care of him meticulously.

"Hello, brother!" Seeing Li Chengqian come in, he put down the empty bowl, stood up and bowed.

Li Chengqian reached out to help Li Zhi up, came to Li Er and said, "Your son does have something to discuss with the emperor!"

"Since the emperor wants to discuss important matters with the elder brother, I will take my leave first. There are still official business in Youchunfang that I need to deal with." Li Zhi said.

Li Er was ill and has not recovered yet, so all military and national affairs were handed over to Li Chengqian. As the office of the Eastern Palace, Youchunfang was naturally busy.

"Go!" Li Er said.

Li Zhi bowed to Li Er and Li Chengqian and then left.

"Speak! What do you want to discuss with me?" Li Er asked. With the help of Li Chengqian, Li Er sat up.

"I heard that my sister Li Shu and my aunt Princess Danyang have reached marriageable age. It is time for them to get married. Doesn't your father worry about this?" Li Chengqian asked.

His sister and aunt have reached marriageable age. It is only a matter of time before they get married.

Princess Danyang's marriage has not been settled yet. Since Li Chengqian promised Xue Wanche to marry the princess, Princess Danyang is the best candidate.

As for his sister Princess Lanling Li Shu, Li Chengqian intended to marry her to his minister Long Zhi.

However, in the tenth year of Zhenguan, when Li Shu was nine years old and was named Princess Lanling, Li Er had already chosen the family of Li Chengqian's grandmother, Empress Dou.

This man is called Dou Huaixiu, the grandson of Empress Taimu's brother, and also Li Chengqian's cousin.

However, the two families have not settled down yet, and Li Er is still secretly investigating Dou Huaixiu.

"Why are you concerned about this matter? I really have a candidate for Shu'er's marriage, but I am still unsure about your aunt Danyang. I don't know what kind of family I should find for her." Li Er said.

A trace of worry climbed up his eyebrows, and Li Er was also worried about his sister Danyang!

As for Li Shu, Li Er was not worried at all. He had already found the candidate, and he would observe for a while. If it was okay, he would marry his daughter to him.

After all, the Dou family was the family of his mother, Empress Taimu, and Dou Huaixiu was the grandson of his uncle, so they were all family members.

Li Er still understood the principle of keeping the wealth within the family.

"Father, what do you think of Xue Wanche, the general of the Right Guard? Since Father is worried about my aunt's marriage, why not marry my aunt to Xue Wanche?" Li Chengqian said carefully, his eyes always watching Li Er's facial expression.

Promising Princess Danyang to Xue Wanche was the promise Li Chengqian made to Xue Wanche when he got rid of Hou Junji.

As the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, he naturally could not break his promise! He must keep his promise!

After Xue Wanche defected to the East Palace, and because of his meritorious service in pacifying Xueyantuo, he was promoted to the general of the Right Guard again.

Xue Wanche was back to the top of power, so he was naturally grateful to the prince. If he could marry a princess, he would be loyal to Li Chengqian.

This would kill two birds with one stone. Not only would it solve the long-standing problem of Princess Danyang, but it would also help him win over a great general. Why not?

"Xue Wanche? This guy is not bad! Besides Li Yu and your uncle Li Dao Zong, there is only Xue Wanche who is a famous general nowadays."

"It is not bad to marry Danyang to Xue Wanche! With Xue Wanche's current status, he has not disgraced the royal family and is worthy of Danyang. It is decided. It is Xue Wanche."

"I will leave this matter to you! In the name of your Prince's Mansion, go and see what Xue Wanche means. If he is willing, I will marry Danyang to him." Li Er said with a smile.

In this way, he put down a stone in his heart, and immediately felt refreshed.

"Xue Wanche is naturally happy to marry my aunt. I have heard Xue Wanche talk about his love for my aunt more than once." Li Chengqian lied with his eyes open.

Xue Wanche had never seen Princess Danyang and didn't even know what she looked like. How could he have any love for her?

It was just that he, Li Chengqian, promised Xue Wanche that he would find him a wife, and a princess.

"When did Xue Wanche meet Princess Danyang? How come I don't know?" Li Er asked.

"This, this..." Li Chengqian didn't know how to answer for a moment. Then he suddenly had an idea and said, "Maybe it was during one of your banquets, when aunt happened to be walking around in the palace, and was seen by Xue Wanche who came to the banquet. It's normal that your father doesn't know about it!" "

If Xue Wanche didn't say it, your son might not know about it!"

"What you said makes sense!" Li Er nodded. Only this explanation made sense.

Li Chengqian was relieved to see that Li Er believed it. He finally got away with it!

"By the way, father, should we talk to aunt about this matter and ask for her opinion!" Li Chengqian asked.

Li Chengqian felt that he should still ask Princess Danyang's opinion. After all, it was Princess Danyang who was getting married, and there was no reason not to let others know.

"That's not necessary. When the time comes, I will just let someone go and say a word. Since ancient times, marriage has been decided by matchmakers and parents!"

"Now my father and brother are long gone! As Danyang's elder brother, I should make the decision on her marriage." "

As the saying goes, the elder brother is like a father. That's the truth. It's normal for me, the elder brother, to arrange the marriage for my sister now that my father is gone." Li Er said.

As the emperor, Li Er owns the entire Tang Dynasty. What

's wrong with marrying off a younger sister? He won't treat Danyang badly. "Father is right!" Li Chengqian said, "But how is Li Shu's marriage? Father, how is it?"

"Is Dou Huaixiu okay?"

Li Chengqian meant that if it didn't work, he could find another ideal husband for his sister Li Shu.

His official in the East Palace, Long Zhi, was very good! He is a perfect choice.

Not only is he very capable at work, but most importantly, he is loyal to Li Chengqian. Such a person is not worthy of being entrusted with one's life. Who else can be found in this world?

"I have observed Dou Huaixiu for some time. He is a good kid. He is the grandson of my uncle and has an excellent family background."

"As for other aspects, his writing is pretty good! I heard that Dou Huaiqiu loves calligraphy and has made some achievements in calligraphy. This is a good match for Shu'er."

"As for other aspects, I still need to observe carefully. There is no rush for this matter." Li Er said.

Li Er was more or less satisfied with Dou Huaiqiu. In addition to the fact that Dou Huaiqiu was one of his own, the most important thing was his calligraphy.

Li Er has always loved calligraphy, so naturally he favored Dou Huaiqiu who had made some achievements in calligraphy.
