Chapter 34 Take One More Look
Li Chengqian looked at Li Jingye and shook his head secretly. He was named Jingye, but he was not professional at all.
Feeling Li Chengqian's gaze, Li Jingye smiled and nodded at the prince who was the same age as him. He behaved properly and was gentle!
For such a person, who could have thought that he would do such an unreliable thing in the end.
"You two have met, and now I will announce something important!" Li Er paused here.
Li Chengqian hurriedly raised his ears and listened carefully to the important event his father was about to announce.
"I have decided to choose a concubine for the crown prince! There is only one crown princess in the Eastern Palace, which is a bit plain! I specially choose the daughter of Nanling Xiao family as the crown prince's concubine."
Li Chengqian was stunned when he heard it!
"Congratulations, Your Highness!" Li Jingye hurriedly congratulated Li Chengqian!
"Okay! You go back first, and wait for Qintianjian to select a suitable auspicious day, and then announce it to the world and complete your marriage." Looking at Li Chengqian standing there, Li Er smiled and said that this kid must be too happy.
Li Chengqian didn't know how he got back to the Eastern Palace. When he woke up, he was already in the Eastern Palace.
"Your Highness! Here is a resume for an application. Do you think the newspaper should hire this person?" Du He, who was in charge of recruitment, put a resume in front of Li Chengqian.
The newspaper was constantly expanding and needed a lot of manpower, so Li Chengqian planned to recruit some people to work in the newspaper.
He picked up the resume in front of him and took a look. Hey! Why is it him? Li Chengqian was a little surprised!
The name column on the resume says Luo Bin Wang, courtesy name Guanguang.
Isn't this the Luo Bin Wang who could write "Ode to the Goose" at the age of seven and
was known as one of the four great men in the early Tang Dynasty? His famous work "The Imperial Capital" is a rare long piece in the early Tang Dynasty and became a masterpiece at that time. He was therefore known as one of the four great men in the early Tang Dynasty.
Later, Luo Bin Wang was frustrated in the officialdom, so he jumped out with Li Jingye to make trouble and started a rebellion. He also wrote a famous "Exhortation for Xu Jingye to Punish Wu Zhao" for Li Jingye.
Li Chengqian rubbed his temples. Now he was confused. How could these two guys get together?
"If he is suitable, just accept him!" Li Chengqian said.
When the enemy comes, we must stop him with our generals; when the water comes, we must block it with earth!
Emperor Gaozong of Tang could deal with these two troubles, so there was no need for him, Li Chengqian, to be afraid of them!
"Okay! If there is nothing else, I will go back to the newspaper office first." Du He said.
Li Chengqian waved his hand and asked him to disappear quickly. Du He turned around and left.
At this time, a group of newly selected women in the palace, led by several female officials, walked towards the harem.
Those who were lucky enough to be favored by the prince would become princesses, while those with less luck might be awarded to meritorious officials as concubines, or even as wives of their children and grandchildren.
As for those with less luck, they would have to go to the Ye Ting Palace to be palace maids and spend the rest of their lives in the palace.
Among them, there was a woman who was the luckiest. As soon as she was selected to enter the palace, His Majesty issued an imperial decree to grant her to the crown prince as a concubine.
Who was the crown prince? He was the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty! Marrying the crown prince as a concubine would at least give her a position of Zhaoyi in the future.
Others were extremely jealous! She was from the Nanling Xiao family, who came from a prominent family, and she was also beautiful.
"Your Highness the Prince of Jin! Slow down!"
A group of eunuchs and palace maids were chasing a young man.
"Hello, Your Highness the Prince of Jin!" When the female official saw Li Zhi coming this way, she hurriedly stopped with the newly entered palace maids to salute.
Li Zhi passed by them and suddenly stopped, looking at a woman in the crowd, who was also looking at him.
Lively eyes, skin as soft as a baby's, a beautiful face, and a head of black and beautiful hair tied up.
Li Zhi was stunned when he arrived at the scene. He had never seen a woman who dared to look him in the eye so directly, and she was so beautiful.
Just this one glance touched Li Zhi's heartstrings, and Li Zhi found that he had fallen in love with this woman.
Just because he looked at you for a little longer in the crowd, you were deeply imprinted in his heart. Li Zhi swore that he must get this woman.
"Your Highness!" The eunuch called softly. He could see that Li Zhi liked the beautiful woman in front of him very much.
"Oh!" Li Zhi came back to his senses, but his eyes never left the woman, as if they were glued to her.
The female official also noticed something was wrong, and hurried to Li Zhi and said, "Your Highness! I still have to take them to learn etiquette, you see..."
"You take the others away, and leave her here!" Li Zhi pointed at the woman who was looking at him and said, "I want this lady!"
"Ah! This, this..." The female official was shocked! The King of Jin didn't pick anyone, but chose this one, who was the prince's concubine! This made her at a loss for a moment.
"What are you talking about! You dare not let go of the person the King of Jin wants, you are so brave, are you tired of living?" When the eunuch saw that the female official dared not give face to the King of Jin, he immediately stood up arrogantly, pointed at the female official's nose and scolded her.
Don't you even look at who the King of Jin is? That is the youngest son that your majesty and the late queen love the most. Prince Jin is the prince that your majesty has raised by his side and personally cared for and taught.
What's wrong with a woman? Not to mention one, even if there are ten, it's nothing.
The female official in front of him actually dared to block the carriage of His Royal Highness Prince Jin without knowing the consequences. The eunuch felt that his chance to make a contribution had come.
"Get out of the way!" The eunuch still arrogantly scolded the female official.
"Your Highness! I'm sorry that I can't obey your order!" The female official saluted to Li Zhi.
Li Zhi was stunned! The eunuch and others were also dumbfounded. Wasn't this female official scared silly! This is His Royal Highness Prince Jin!
The female official naturally knew that the person in front of her was the most favored Prince Jin of His Majesty Li II, and she couldn't afford to provoke him, but she couldn't afford to offend the crown prince either!
"Oh! You are such an ignorant thing!" The eunuch was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and was about to teach the female official a lesson, but the female official's words frightened him.
He was even more frightened and broke into a cold sweat! That was the prince! The future emperor of the Tang Dynasty! He actually dared to force the prince in front of so many people.
If the prince knew about this, he would be dead.
"Your Highness Prince Jin! This lady is the concubine chosen by His Majesty for the prince!"
Li Zhi and the eunuch were stunned!
After the female official finished speaking, she ignored Li Zhi and the others and left in a hurry with the group of women.
Li Zhi followed them as they left until they disappeared from his sight, but the figure of the young lady had already been deeply imprinted in his heart.
"Let's go!" Li Zhi threw his sleeves and walked towards Ganlu Palace with his hands behind his back. He was going to ask his father to give this woman to him as a concubine.
Li Zhi secretly said in his heart: I must convince my father to give her to him. She can only belong to him, Li Zhi.
No one else can do it, even if the other person is his elder brother or the prince.
