Luoyang.

In Shangyang Palace.

The palace today is particularly quiet and even a little deserted.

Although the palace lanterns still retain the joy of the princess before her marriage, it further highlights the desertedness at this time.

The emperor's back sores were almost healed, and the imperial doctor repeatedly told the emperor to completely quit drinking and eat lightly. But at this time, the emperor still held a glass of wine in his hand. He was talking to himself in the immortal residence where Empress Changsun once lived, facing a screen with the portrait of Empress Changsun.

"Today is Changle's wedding day, it is very scenic and lively."

"According to your advice, I did not get too much money for dowry, and only spent 800,000 yuan. However, your uncle Changsun Shunde and my cousin Jiangxia Wang also insisted on marrying a legitimate daughter as their mother, and I finally agreed."

“It’s particularly deserted tonight!”

"I heard that the nobles and officials in Luoyang City all went to Qinlang's mansion to celebrate. That boy has a very good connection in the court."

"It's a pity that you haven't waited until today. Lizhi is particularly beautiful today. She cried so hard when she left me. The palace servants put on makeup for her three times, almost delaying the auspicious time to go out."

"That boy Qin Lang actually told me that he planned to take Lizhi to the fiefdom in two months and said that he wanted to retire. It's really joking. He is only thirty-two. Although I succeeded to the throne at the age of 29, Qin Lang is about to retire at the age of 22. I can't see through some of this boy's thoughts, and I think this boy is becoming more and more worldly and smooth, no longer as straightforward as we were when we first met. Do you still remember Qin Sanlang at that time? It's simple and straightforward, and even impulsive, but I actually like it very much. Qin Lang is sometimes unable to see through it."

"He is more treacherous than Shubao, and I think this kid seems to have a problem with Chengqian. Although it seems to be good on the surface, the two of them can't go back to the past. By the way, Chengqian is now becoming more mature and generous. But sometimes I think about it now, I still like Chengqian in the past, just like Qin Lang in the past, I like it even more."

"Guanyin maid, you are gone. I am very lonely. Last year, I came to Mount Tai. I came from all directions to attack Liaodong in person and defeated the Goguryeo thieves. Now after the beginning of spring, Niu Jinda has begun a spring offensive. This year, I can almost restore the Central Plains thousands of miles west of the Yalu River. Unfortunately, you can't see these achievements."

"My body has also been broken. Last year, I had a sore on my back, which almost killed me. The prince was kind and filial to me. I am very pleased, but my body has not returned to the past. Now I cannot drink alcohol, eat butterfly, and even beef and mutton can't be let go. I am only in my forties, but I can no longer have children."

"An official reported that I have not selected a lady to enter the palace for several years. Haha, what else should I choose?"

The emperor murmured to himself, but the eunuch of the palace had already tactfully left the hall.

Today's emperors often talk to themselves like this and like to be alone.

The emperor was very lonely, with countless concubines and beauties in three palaces and six courtyards, but who could really understand him?

As he stayed in the throne for a long time, the emperor became more and more skilled in power and was very good at political balance, but few people could speak intimate words.

Even for a humer-like minister like Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling, it would be difficult for the emperor to focus on them.

"The children have grown up one by one, and my grandchildren are all better now."

"Qingque is fine in Xining, Jiannan, and has done a lot of good governance."

"Li Ke also performed well in Nanning. The King of Qi was a little awkward in Dongning. He was even more powerful than when he was in Beijing. The sky was high and the emperor was farther away, and he became more and more unrestrained. I looked at the memorials of impeachment several times and wanted to send hundreds of cavalry to capture the beast back to Beijing and whip him directly. I don't know how this will end in the future..."

······

Late at night.

The guests and friends gradually dispersed, and the Taibo Mansion of Cherry Island gradually returned to peace.

In March, the night in Dongdu is no longer cold.

The big blue felt tent in the courtyard was even more warm and comfortable. Li Lizhi was wearing a green hairpin dress and sat upright in the tent. The five sisters were all very quiet. The previous people had sex with the new house, which made them very worried and scared. Fortunately, there were many female relatives from noble families who helped to resist, and that was fine.

This time finally became quiet, and the sisters held the hands but slapped them but did not dare to speak casually.

Everyone was just looking around and finally relaxed.

This will be their home from now on.

"Why haven't Mr. Wei come yet?"

Finally, the daughter of the Prince of Jiangxia could not help but speak out. Among the five sisters, she was the youngest. As the daughter of the prince, she had no title, because Li Daozong begged to ask her daughter to marry Princess Changle, and the emperor specially ordered her to be named the Lord of Wencheng County, which was a treatment that only the daughter of the prince could have.

In history, it was this Tubo who was married to Tubo and married far away from the snowy land. In this era, the ambitious Tubo Zanpu Songtsen Gampo led more than 200,000 troops to attack Songzhou, the Tang Dynasty, but was defeated by Qin Lang. Not only did he not get any benefits, Tubo was also beaten into pieces. Supi, Houzang and other nobles of small states surrendered to the Tang Dynasty one after another. Songtsen Gampo could only protect the Shannanluosi area. After apologizing to the Tang Dynasty, he barely saved the country, but his strength was already very weak and he no longer had the capital to provoke and confront the Tang Dynasty. Now he has only retained a title of marquis, so how could he have the right to marry the Tang Dynasty princess?

"From now on, I have to call him Sanlang, why is he still called Duke Wei?" Changsun Rou said with a smile. He was the granddaughter of Changsun Shunde. His father was Changsun Jiaxiang, the eldest son of Changsun Shunde. His mother was Duke Duke Duan Lun and Princess Gaomi. His nickname was Duke Duan Lun and his daimyo was Duan Jianbi. His nickname was King Kong, but his name was Rou.

"Why haven't Sanlang seen him yet? But he was drunk by those people." Yingluo said, this was the daughter of Duke Shen and the right servant Gao Shilian. In terms of age, he was actually Princess Changle's cousin. However, because Gao Shilian did not have a suitable granddaughter, he married his daughter.

Gao Shilian is the eldest son of the concubine, and his legitimate son Gao Luxing himself is the daughter of Emperor Shang Princess Dongyang. He is not much older than Changle. Although the concubine's son is older, the concubine's son does not have a right-age daughter. He can't let the concubine's daughter be married, right?

Fortunately, people didn't mind such a mess of generations at that time.

"Why don't my sister ask someone to go ahead and take a look?" said Changsun Wuji's daughter. This person is as capable as her father, Duke Zhao, and is known as Shu.

Li Lizhi then called a maid who was serving outside the tent, and she brought it from the princess's mansion.

"Go ahead and take a look, is Saburo drunk?"

Yingluo's real name is Gao Wan, and she said worriedly, "Today is the wedding night. Can't Saburo get drunk, right?"

But King Kong Changsun Rou smiled and said, "Even if Sanlang is not drunk, it will be my sister's wedding night tonight. We can't steal my sister's."

"I just secretly saw Sanlang's concubines. Didn't they all mean maids with low status? Why do they look like the legitimate daughter of a wealthy family?" Gao Wan said.

Of course, they had heard of those concubines for a long time. In fact, before they passed by, they had often secretly inquire about the situation in the Duke of Wei's mansion. The marriage had been decided for several years, and the situation in the Duke of Wei's mansion was quite clear in the past few years.

Qin Lang has many concubines, and now there are more than a dozen concubines who have concubines, and the older ones are already over 10 years old. However, there is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate concubines, so Princess Changle does not have to worry about these concubines.

For Gao Wan, Changsun Shu, Changsun Rou, Li Hui and others, they need to be wary of it. After all, they are dowry mothers, essentially concubines, but just precious concubines.

"We have to be careful of these maids and concubines, so we must not let their mother bully the princess by virtue of their son." said the Vajra Slave Changsun Shu.

Several people were discussing how to set rules for Yuxiao, Yu Xuanji, Yang Chongniang and other concubines in the mansion, when a maid came to report to the princess and wait for him.

"Just say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive."

"what to do?"

Although the identities are noble, they are all young girls who have never experienced the world.

"Why would you ask the dowry woman to come and ask?"

Everyone brought many dowryes, including property and goods, and people. From close servants to servants, to servants, to the servants in charge, etc., they all have everything.

They are carefully selected by each company.

Changle listened to the chattering of his sisters, but just smiled slightly, "I heard that all the sisters who entered the mansion first were also well-educated and polite people. Don't worry so much. Please come and see them first. At the wedding just now, there was no chance to say something to them."

"Sister, be careful of these lowly concubines, don't let them think they are weak and can be bullied!"

"It's better if we don't bully them. How dare they bully us? Besides, they can't be so ignorant after having been with Saburo for many years."

Princess Changle is quite generous, which is also the confidence that a big woman should have. Although she is young and careless, she has brought so many people, and no one is capable. It would be stupid to have those concubines who really want to have thoughts that they shouldn't have.

"I'm afraid that Saburo will be confused by these women, so he will be inclined to them at that time."

"Sanlang is not the one who favors concubines and kills his wife. You guys, don't worry too much, always thinking that everyone is an enemy. I heard that although Sanlang has many concubines in the backyard, they have always been harmonious. There is no reason why we will be in a mess when we come, and the house is uneasy, right? If this is true, then the wrong thing will definitely be us." Changle did not put on any princess airs.

······

When Qin Lang came to the Qing Tent, he found that the five princesses were chatting with Yu Xiao, Yu Xuanji and other concubines, and the names of sisters were extremely friendly, which made him stunned for a moment.

I thought it would be incompatible with water and fire, and at least it would be a bit embarrassing. Who knew that they would get together so quickly?

After a while, I realized that they were all smart people.

Seeing Qin Lang coming in, Changle and the others immediately became restrained and a little shy, while Yu Xiao smiled and said, "The groom is finally here. Chunxiao is worth a thousand gold for a moment. We won't disturb you. Let's take your leave first. Come here early tomorrow morning to serve the princess and Sanlang."

The concubines all smiled and took their leave.

The four of Vajra Nu and Yingluo Nu were there with red faces. They also wanted to retreat, but they wanted to stay and see Qin Lang more.

"Don't hurry to leave. I'm not a big insect, what are you afraid of?" Qin Lang sat down with a smile, then asked Yu Xiao and others to stay first.

It was rare that the atmosphere was good, so Qin Lang wanted to strike while the iron was hot. He knew that many wealthy families had wives and concubines, but they often competed for favor in the backyard, and even caused many disasters, and even killed people.

He doesn't want his inner hut to be restless. Although he knows that his wives and concubines cannot be as close as sisters, at least everyone should not cross those red lines.

"How about we play games, what do you want to play?" Qin Lang asked with a smile.

"Fighting on Double Land?" Gao Wan asked carefully.

"Round the dice?"
