Chapter 70: Prince Chengqian's Wedding

Time flies very quickly. Half a month after the Emperor of Taishang made the lead type printing machine, on July 20th, Li Chengqian experienced the five steps of Naga, asking for names, Najib, Nazheng, and asking for these five steps, and he was only the last step to be able to bridal chamber...

On July 20, the fourth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, it was auspicious and it was appropriate to marry.

As the crown prince’s wedding, according to etiquette, all the ministers in the court will prepare gifts, and as the elders of the crown prince, the gifts Li Yuan prepared today are also particularly valuable.

If my previous love for Li Chengqian was to deal with Li Shimin, then after experiencing Li Chengqian drawing his sword for him in the Ministry of Justice, the Supreme Emperor really kept his grandson in his heart.

Compared with other emperors and grandchildren, Li Chengqian was undoubtedly more filial to him.

Eastern Palace.

"Shi Fubin, the Minister of Rites, gave him ten taels of silver and a snow lotus."

"Yan Lide, the Minister of Works, sent a hundred acres of land and three hundred taels of silver..."

......

"I have met Uncle Niu, Uncle Cheng, Uncle Fang..." Li Chengqian was wearing a groom's uniform and inserted a pomegranate flower on his head, constantly thanking the court officials who were coming and going.

Because pomegranate has many grains, it means more children and blessings.

Li Shimin was different from other emperors and had a deep friendship with his old ministers in the Qin Palace, so his prince also called these heroes as Shi Bo Shishu.

"The old minister has seen the prince, but your highness should do other things first, and don't worry about us old ministers." Xiao Yu smiled and asked Li Chengqian to do other things first.

"The most recent marriage between the royal family was that Princess Yongjia, the Supreme Emperor, got married. The dowry at that time... was as many as a hundred cars, and the land and houses were given twenty hectares..." Gao Shilian sighed.

Gao Shilian is the uncle of Empress Changsun. He is also acquainted with the royal family and has a long experience, so no one dares to refute when speaking.

"I just don't know... what will Your Majesty prepare for His Royal Highness? After all, this is marrying the Crown Princess, and there is only one time in life." Du Ruhui coughed a few times, his face a little pale.

"Keming, Your Majesty specially issued an imperial edict to let you go back to your house for a good rest. Why are you... here again?" Fang Xuanling sighed. Du Ruhui has been suffering from serious and minor illnesses since this year. He has been mixed with all kinds of diseases. In the past, his body, who used to ride a horse and shoot archery, would now be breathless if he walks a few steps.

"Nothing happened." Du Ruhui shook his head, he held back his cough and smiled slightly, "Today is also a day of great joy. Perhaps this great joy can also dilute my illness, maybe not..."

"By the way, Brother Fu Ji, why are you depressed? You should be happier than us, right? This is your nephew's marriage." Pei Ju said in confusion.

"It's okay, it's okay." Changsun Wuji reluctantly raised a smile from the corner of his mouth. He might be happy if the prince had gotten married before, but now the prince is in conflict with him, how can he be happy?

Li Chengqian's sword was only three inches away from his neck at that time!

"I just don't know how heavy the gift the Emperor prepared for the crown prince this time? He was... the Lord of Nine Five, but now... he is just an old man who is breathing in his silence." He snorted coldly.

It was because of the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan that his engagement with Princess Changle was cancelled and he became enemies with the prince. They were all this immortal old man.

Although Changsun Wuji did not believe in witchcraft, he still secretly pricked several paper men to curse the Supreme Emperor and died early and became reborn soon.

When the ministers heard Changsun Wuji's sarcasm of Li Yuan, they did not say much, nor did they feel disrespectful. After all, the court was controlled by aristocratic families and royal families, and the emperor and the others could make a tough fight, let alone the emperor who was like a deposed man?

To put it nicely, I am the only one who is the only one who is not good at speaking... The emperor who has no power sometimes is not as good as the concubines in the palace...

"Auxiliary, you are too paranoid. Princess Yongjia used the money from the treasury in his wedding, but the Supreme Emperor... how could he give so much money to the prince as a gift?" Gao Shilian sighed.

"Yes, how can I have extra money?" Everyone shook their heads. No matter how good the relationship between the Supreme Emperor and the Crown Prince was, they were inevitably in an embarrassing situation when they gave gifts. They were given too lightly and looked down upon by others. They would not do if they didn't give them.

But at this moment, the sound of the arrival of the Supreme Emperor's Saint came from outside the East Palace. The guests at the banquet stopped talking in an instant, and everything was silent.

Their eyes were all focused on the Supreme Emperor who was chasing him from the scene.

His temples are gray and very old, and his back is tenaciously straight, full of desolate atmosphere, as if he feels like a distraught dog.

"He is holding on!" Changsun Wuji narrowed his eyes and thought to himself.

"I wonder what the gifts the emperor brought with him were? We didn't hear the sings just now. Could it be... The emperor was short of money, but I have a few spare money here. I hope the emperor will not blame him." Changsun Wuji leaned into Li Yuan's ear and whispered.

He took out two copper coins from the purse hanging around his waist, which were printed with Zhenguan Tongbao, which was very brand new.

"The things that I brought are not rare and are not worth a few dollars, so I don't have a name, but..." Li Yuan smiled jokingly, looked at Changsun Wuji carefully, took the two copper coins in his hand, and said, "Since Changsun Aiqing is so understanding, it's not a big deal if he doesn't take them. Two cents are also money, a little accumulation is a lot, a penny a day, a thousand days and a thousand days..."

"I'm afraid you won't be patient when you can't wait for the money you have always paid." Changsun Wuji spread his hands and said.

"Yi Qianwen can still hold on, so I won't have to worry about you." Li Yuan didn't care. He didn't believe that Changsun Wuji lived longer than him.

He suddenly thought of the congratulations he wanted to give today, so he smiled and said, "Duke Zhao, how about we make a bet?"

"Gambling?" Changsun Wuji's face tightened, and his eyes were fixed on the Supreme Emperor for a moment, and he asked with a frown: "What are you betting on, what are you betting on?"

Li Yuan clapped his hands and walked out of his journey. Two palace servants were carrying something strange, about the size of a table.

"What is the gift from Duke Zhao? How much is it worth?" he asked.

Changsun Wuji thought for a moment and replied: "The land is 500 acres, 300 taels of gold and silver each, and various rare medicinal materials, if you want to say it is worth... it is about 900 jin."

In the fourth year of Zhenguan, there were few people and many land, and the land was not very expensive.

"That's even if it's one thousand guan, I won't bet on anything else, I'll bet on this thing that can be worth three thousand guan in a month. I wonder... Is Duke Zhao willing to bet?" Li Yuan said with a smile.

"Based on this strange thing?" Changsun Wuji smiled disdainfully. If there was a priceless Heshi Bi, Sui Houzhu, or other treasures in front of him, he could still believe it.

But it's just a ragged thing?

What about teasing him?

But seeing the Supreme Emperor's swearing so confidently, Changsun Wuji felt a little panicked... Is he really confident or is he just a mysterious person?

What to do? If you don’t gamble, you will lose face in vain. If you gamble, it will add risks and uncertainty...
