Chapter 157 Planning for a Marriage

The next morning, Li Xiu found Gao Lishi.

Gao Lishi frowned, "Someone monitors you, do you know who it is?"

"I don't know very well. I have too many enemies. I may be the Regent, but I may also be other people, such as the Goguryeo, the remnants of the Yuan family, etc."

"What do you mean? Do you hope the Lord will provide protection?"

Li Xiu shook his head, "Mr. Gao, I still say the same thing. I hope to be equipped with personal soldiers, but the warriors are still not as reliable as the army."

Gao Lishi was silent for a moment.

Li Xiu said again: "After all, I am the governor of Beiting. It is normal to have my own personal guard! Why does the father disagree?"

Gao Lishi sighed and said, "Even if the Jiedushi comes to the capital, the personal guards cannot enter the city. They are all stationed outside Chang'an City, and there are at most a few entourages who can enter the city."

"But Chang'an often sees the carriages guarded by the army. Who are they?"

"At present, those who can have military guards in Chang'an City are not only the emperor and the regent, but also the prince and the prince. The concubines in the inner palace also have palace guards to follow him when they go out, and there are some princes of high-level positions. If they hold important positions, they can also have military guards. Although His Highness holds important positions, he is still one step away from the title."

“Is there no special treatment?”

Gao Lishi thought for a while and said, "In the past, there were, for example, the General of the Sixteen Guards had a small number of military guards. Now only the General of the Real Power has an military guard."

"They are not in danger, but I do face danger."

Gao Lishi looked at Li Xiu for a moment and nodded, "I understand my intention. I will tell the emperor to see if I can make some adjustments so that you can have military guards in the short term."

………………

Just as Li Xiu made the request for the army, Gongsun Xiaomei was also taken to the inner hall by Wu Xianyi.

Wu Xianyi sat down and asked with a smile: "Xiaomei, what do you want to say to me?"

"Empress, it's about Miss Yang."

Wu Xianyi was stunned, "What's wrong with Yuhuan?"

"That's right. Two days ago, the young master took us to the Autumn Outing in Leyou. He met Li Cui, the youngest son of the Regent, who actually teased Miss Yang, and the two sides almost had a bloody conflict..."

"What?"

Wu Xianyi raised her eyebrows and said that the regent's son actually teased his daughter-in-law. Does Lee Sung-chi really think he is so easy to bully?

"What's that person's name, what's Lee?"

"His name is Li Cui, the youngest son of the Regent, Empress. This Li Cui actually has a deep hatred with the young master."

"How do you say this?"

Gongsun Xiaomei roughly told the feud between Li Xiu and Li Cui, and Wu Xianyi was very surprised, "Is it because he knew Yuhuan's identity that he deliberately teased her?"

"It shouldn't be. At that time, I was with Miss Yang. He should be coveting Miss Yang's beauty, which is the same as Li Mao before."

Wu Xianyi understood that because Yang Yuhuan is extremely beautiful, she also agreed to marry her because Yang Yuhuan is beautiful and talented, but few men can resist such a beautiful woman.

Generally, scoundrels dare not provoke them, but the powerful may not be sure.

"Let Yuhuan try not to go out in the future. Haven't you moved yet?"

"The young master plans to move to the royal palace the day after tomorrow. The young master wants to marry Miss Yang as soon as possible and take her to Beiting, so as not to worry about anyone in Chang'an."

Wu Xianyi thought for a while and said, "You ask Xiu'er to come to my place these two days. In addition, Xiaomei, you should marry together!"

Xiaomei's pretty face suddenly turned red and she said with a hint: "What is the Empress talking about?"

Wu Xianyi held her hand and smiled, "I have always raised you as my daughter, just hope that if you follow Xiu'er in the future, although you can't make you a concubine, at least you can guarantee that you will be a concubine. Then I can tell the emperor that you will release your family from Lingnan."

"Empress, I..."

"Do you still have your own ideas?"

"No, I'm afraid... The young master refused to marry me. I used to be so fierce to him!"

Wu Xianyi laughed, "Don't worry, I'm the one who decides this. If he doesn't want to marry you, he won't want to marry Yang Yuhuan. This is my condition, and he can't help but choose."

"Empress, you have to hurry up to get married."

"What are you anxious about? Could it be that you can't wait?"

Xiaomei's face was flushed with shame, "Empress, I'm worried..."

"I understand, please let him come to my place quickly."

………………

Xiaomei left, and Wu Xianyi was really worried. Since the rumors of her being called Concubine Wu Xian, Concubine Wu Hui has been completely hostile to her.

She sent someone to monitor her every move and would not let go of any movement.

I wonder what kind of article Wu Huifei would do with Xiu'er when she learned about the big event of marriage?

Wu Xianyi knows Wu Huifei very well. She always uses any means to deal with the harem. The key is that Wu Huifei's son Li Mao also looked at Yang Yuhuan. Will she encourage the emperor to recruit Yang Yuhuan into the palace?

Based on her many years of understanding of Concubine Wu Hui, Wu Xianyi felt that this possibility was very high.

After thinking about it, this matter cannot be hidden from the palace, nor can it be hidden from Concubine Wu Hui. Unless her son fails to pass the palace, she will marry Yang Yuhuan in a low-key manner. But what should I do if I marry without legal procedures in the future?

Just as he was thinking about it, a palace maid came to report, "The Thirty-Eighth Palace is coming down!"

Wu Xianyi was stunned, then was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Let him come in!"

Soon, the palace maid brought Li Xiu in, and Li Xiu knelt down and saluted her mother.

Wu Xianyi waved her hand and smiled, "Is it Xiaomei who asked you to come?"

"The child went to see his father before, but he didn't see Xiaomei."

"Xiaomei was here just now, so I asked her to come to you."

"My mother has something to do with her child?"

"I heard from Xiaomei that you encountered some unpleasant things when you went on the autumn outing?"

"I met a archenemy, a scoundrel in the royal family. He didn't take any advantage, but just reminded me that I want to move as soon as possible, so that my family will try to go out as little as possible in the future!"

Wu Xianyi nodded, "This is what I want to tell you. Yuhuan is so charming and will be watched by countless people. The best way is to be strong and make others dare not have any thoughts. If you can't do this, it's best to be low-key, live in the boudoir, protect it well, and try not to go out. Your prince's house is the former King Xue Mansion, covering an area of ​​60 acres. There is no need to go out for such a large house. Remember my mother's words, there is more trouble in front of people and less appearances."

"The child remembers the mother's warning."

"And then it's your marriage, what did the Yang family say?"

"Yuhuan's parents were on their way to the capital. Yuhuan said that her parents hoped that the Ming Dynasty would marry him."

"There is definitely no problem for the official marriage between the Ming media. Na Cai, Wenming and Najib of the Six Rites have actually done it. After they come to the capital, we will get the gift of money."

Speaking of wealth, Li Xiu felt it was necessary to explain things clearly.

"Mother, today my child has asked his men to buy a house, covering about three acres and two acres of vacant land. Then the child is preparing to take out twenty hectares of land, plus five thousand guan of money, and as a gift to the Yang family's parents."

Wu Xianyi waved his hand, "A house is enough. You are the prince, and your wealth is naturally produced by the inner treasury. Your father spent more than 100,000 guan to marry his daughter in Luoyang. Can't his son pay a penny if he gets married?"

"Mom, Princess Xianyi's situation is special!"

"I know this, but there are rules in the palace. The prince's wife costs 30,000 guan, including 20,000 guan of gifts and 10,000 guan of etiquette. The 20,000 guan of gifts include the woman's dowry, so adding your house, the gift is enough."

After pausing, Wu Xianyi said again: "As for your twenty hectares of land, you can keep it yourself, but you can give it to others five thousand guan."

"Give it to someone else?"

Li Xiu asked in confusion: "Who did my mother ask me to give?"

"Xiaomei! You won't forget her, right! Since you have married, I hope you will also take her as your concubine."

If she could take Xiaomei as her concubine, Li Xiu would of course be willing to do so, but Xiaomei herself would do it?

"Mom, have you asked Xiaomei?"

"Nonsense! Of course I have sought her opinions. She is very willing. Your five thousand guan is the dowry I give her!"

"Boy understand!"

Wu Xianyi sighed and said, "There is one more thing that I want to explain to you."

"Mother, please tell me!"

"You only marry a wife this time, and it has nothing to do with the princess of the county. The princess of the county is a separate enthronement. It is usually within one year after marriage. Then, your father will not attend your wedding. It is a custom for you to bring your wife to meet the emperor the next day."

Li Xiu nodded. The scene of the Tang Dynasty's wedding was not yet in the Song Dynasty.

The Han and Tang Dynasties mainly sent to Qinglu to drink Heyi wine, the couple made friends and accepted blessings from relatives and friends, and the wedding was over.

What's more, he is the prince. As the emperor is the emperor, how could he sit with the Yang family's parents? The prince will have a prince's ceremony.

Li Xiu fully understood. He thought for a while and asked, "When will the child propose the wedding to the Interior Department?"

Wu Xianyi thought for a while and said, "When Yang's parents arrived, settle down, and then I will apply and complete the wedding within ten days as soon as possible!"

"Mother, is it too hasty for ten days?"

Wu Xianyi shook her head and said slowly: "You must beware of villains in your marriage, such as Wu Huifei, Li Mao and others. I have intuition that they will definitely destroy it in secret, so get married as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams."

"Boy understand!"
