"Choose one!" Pei Ji suddenly took out two imperial edicts from his arms and then placed them side by side in front of Li Xiu.

"Choose...what to choose?" Li Xiu was also a little confused when he looked at the two imperial edicts in front of him. Could it be that imperial edicts can be chosen like vegetables in the vegetable market? This is something he had never heard of.

"There are different contents in these two imperial edicts. You must choose one from them. This is what Your Majesty means. I came here today to actually pass the imperial edict!" Pei Ji also said seriously at this time. This is his real purpose for coming here.

"Can you not choose?" Li Xiu had a premonition that the contents of these two imperial edicts were not good for him.

"If you don't choose, you will resist the order!" Pei Ji said with a serious expression. If Li Xiu could listen to his persuasion before, he might have a way to help him, but now he has to make a choice.

Hearing this, Li Xiu had to look at the two imperial edicts in front of him helplessly, hesitated for a moment before picking up the imperial edict on the right and opening it. When he saw the content on it, he stood up in shock, and then said to Pei Ji with annoyance: "Give marriage? Your Majesty actually wants to give me a marriage?"

"Yes, Your Majesty has also developed a love for you. He can't bear to let you ruin your future with Princess Pingyang, so he simply gave you a marriage to you. After you get married, you will naturally die and marry Princess Pingyang!" Pei Ji suddenly said helplessly at this time. Li Yuan was unwilling to be this evil person, and others should not know about Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang, so he could only go there personally. Of course, he also wanted to take this opportunity to have a good chat with Li Xiu, but unfortunately he could not persuade Li Xiu before.

"I..." Li Xiu couldn't help but speechless when he heard this. He never expected that Li Yuan would like to cut off his contact with Princess Pingyang as soon as possible because he cherished his talent. If he had known this, he would not have proposed any plan to stabilize the grassland in front of Li Yuan. This was simply shooting himself in the foot!

"Okay, don't be too angry. If you can get so much attention from Your Majesty, you are the first person since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Even I have not treated you like you, and the person who gave the marriage is considered to be destined to be with you. The wardrobe was sent to your house by Pei Ju. If you don't marry her, I'm afraid she will never get married in this life. Now the marriage is given to you. Speaking of which, my daughter will either get married or be too young, otherwise she will have to rob you, her son-in-law, but unfortunately, she is a cheaper one now."

When Pei Ji spoke at the end, he couldn't help but show a pity. He really had such an idea. After all, it was difficult to find a son-in-law like Li Xiu.

When Li Xiu heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and looked at the contents of the imperial edict. Yi Niang's name was written on it, and there were some descriptions of virtuousness and virtues. Finally, he said that he was a match made by Li Xiu, and he was given a marriage. What Li Yuan said yesterday when he passed by Yi Niang's home was probably a test of Li Xiu.

"What is the following imperial edict?" Fortunately, Li Xiu did not have any other choice. At least there was an imperial edict below. He just didn't know what this imperial edict was. Could it be that he would let himself enter the court and become an official?

"Haha, don't you know it just by looking at it?" Pei Ji smiled again. He was looking forward to what Li Xiu would choose after reading the two imperial edicts?

"Did Your Majesty want me to become an official in the court?" Li Xiu did not pick up the imperial edict, but asked again. After Li Yuan saw him yesterday, he forced him to become an official in the court, but he refused. So he guessed that the content of the imperial edict was probably this. He even suspected that Li Yuan's purpose was not to give him a marriage, but to use this method to force him to become an official in the court.

Pei Ji did not answer Li Xiu's question, but signaled him to read the imperial edict himself, but the smile on his face had an indescribable meaning, which made Li Xiu even more nervous. He was afraid to read the imperial edict for a moment, but in the end he finally gritted his teeth and picked up the imperial edict to open it.

Li Xiu originally thought this was an imperial edict to be granted an official, but the facts proved that he was thinking too much, because it was actually an imperial edict to give marriage. The object of the marriage was not Yi Niang, but a princess, named Princess Wanchun. What made Li Xiu speechless was that the contents of these two imperial edicts were almost exactly the same, and he just changed the name of the woman who gave the marriage.

"Haha, look at how thoughtful Your Majesty is. He is worried that you will despise that the angel's origin is too low, or that you prefer my princess of the Tang Dynasty, so he married another beloved daughter to you. In this way, although you lost Princess Pingyang, you won't be a loss to get another princess!" Pei Ji said again at this time, but his words and words were full of dirty smell.

"Hmph, is it my Majesty who insists on watching me get married before he is willing to do so?" Li Xiu was also irritated and slapped the imperial edict on the table. At this time, he was also angry. Whether to get married or not is his own private matter, why should he wait for others to manipulate?

"You are right. Only when you get married will you die and marry Princess Pingyang. You are not afraid of any trouble in the future. I can even tell you clearly that even if you still interact with Princess Pingyang after marriage, even if you have even given birth to a child, Your Majesty will not say anything. But you can't destroy Princess Pingyang's marriage, and it is even more impossible for you to marry her openly." Pei Ji said with a cold face. He rarely spoke so thoroughly. The purpose was naturally to let Li Xiu accept the arrangements of the court and choose a woman to marry.

"So what if I marry me? Isn't Your Majesty cherishing my talent? But now he forces me to marry, which will only make me hold a grudge for the rest of my life, and I won't want me to use it for him in the future!" Li Xiu also took the initiative at this time, and even said such a rebellious word to resent Li Yuan.

"Hahahahaha~ Li Xiu, you are still too young. Do you think you can stop doing it if you don't want to do it? For example, I have encountered too many things I don't want to do in the past half of my life, but I still have to do it in the end." Pei Ji said at the end, and his tone also had a bit of emotion. Eight out of ten things in life are unsatisfactory, and this is what he said.

Li Xiu didn't know what to say after hearing this, because he also had a deep understanding of Pei Ji's words. Whether in his previous life or this life, he had encountered many things that people were reluctant to do but had to do.

"Then what if I don't choose any one?" Li Xiu suddenly gritted his teeth again. He was unwilling to give up Princess Pingyang no matter what, and he did not want to marry a woman other than Princess Pingyang.

"I have already made it clear just now. If you don't choose, you will be resisting the imperial edict. Don't forget that you are an official. Disobeying the imperial edict is a serious crime. Don't say it then. Even your family will be implicated!" When Pei Ji said this, he looked at Li Xiu's inner home. He knew that Li Xiu had a sister who was extremely pampered, and for his sake, he might not dare to resist the edict.

"You..." Li Xiu naturally understood Pei Ji's meaning, and he couldn't help but get angry, but there was no way. If he was the only one, he would probably not have received the imperial edict anyway, but now he had to consider Qi Niang's safety.

On one hand, there was the happiness and agreement between himself and his loved one, and on the other hand, there was the safety of his only sister. Li Xiu could not make a choice for a while, and Pei Ji was not in a hurry. He just sat there quietly and savored tea. He believed that Li Xiu would make the right choice.

But at this moment, I suddenly heard a sound of light footsteps outside the door, and then I saw a beautiful woman in fur walk into the hall and said in a somewhat angrily tone: "Li Xiu, why did you let your father drink so much wine? His health is not good, what if... well~"

The woman who came in was Princess Pingyang. She came to find Li Xiu to question Li Yuan for getting drunk yesterday. But just said halfway, she found that there were guests here, and she actually knew this person.

"Uncle Pei, why are you here?" Princess Pingyang was stunned at first when she saw Pei Ji, and then asked in surprise. Pei Ji was Li Yuan's old friend and used to drink at Li Yuan's home. Princess Pingyang naturally knew him. Although the identities of both of them have changed a lot now, she is still called her former name, which is a bit similar to Li Yuan.

The sound of "Uncle Pei" also made Pei Ji feel like he had returned to the time many years ago, but he immediately woke up and said with a little embarrassed expression: "Old minister, please see the princess!"

Princess Pingyang was first surprised at Pei Ji's appearance, and then thought that her father had also come to Li Xiu's place yesterday, which made her suddenly have a bad premonition. Then she saw two imperial edicts on the table and asked in confusion: "Uncle Pei, why are there two imperial edicts here? Are you here to pass the imperial edict to Li Xiu?"

"This..." Pei Ji was a little confused for a moment. If Princess Pingyang knew that these two imperial edicts were given to Li Xiu, she still didn't know what her reaction would be?

Li Xiu didn't expect Princess Pingyang to come. He didn't know how to tell her about this. He had no choice but to smile bitterly. Although Princess Pingyang was very favored by Li Yuan, he probably could not change the result of this matter.

Seeing the bitter smile on Li Xiu's face, Princess Pingyang felt even more wrong. She strode over and picked up the imperial edict and saw it. Pei Ji wanted to stop it, but when she thought that this matter could not be hidden from Princess Pingyang, her hand stretched out could not help but stop in the air. Then she sighed helplessly and shook her head, standing there quietly watching Princess Pingyang finish reading the imperial edict. (To be continued.)
