On the stone arch bridge outside the Taiji Palace.
Li Zexuan looked at the beautiful girl in front of him and thought that if he hadn't argued for her in the imperial court, Changle would have been sent to Northern India for a political marriage thousands of miles away. How sad and unfair it was!
In his impression, the so-called Jienri Dynasty did not last long. This was because in the history after Zhen Guan, he had never heard of the Jienri Dynasty. This meant that even if Changle married over, she would only end up with a sad ending.
(It was true. According to the historical records, in the 21st year of Zhenguan, King Jienri drowned in the Ganges River and didn't leave any heirs. At that time, the country was in chaos. Prime Minister Aluo Nashun usurped the throne and the huge empire that was maintained by force collapsed instantly.)
"Haha, Your Highness is too polite! What I did was just what a Han person should do! "
Li Zexuan smiled kindly.
What he said was both right and wrong. In his previous life, Li Zexuan was a bit angry. After traveling to ancient times, he certainly didn't want his country to trade women for peace. If what happened today happened to any princess, Li Zexuan would speak up for her. However, if it weren't for Changle, he might not have been so nervous and worked so hard today.
The reason was that he didn't like Changle. He did like her, but it was definitely not the kind of love between a man and a woman. After all, Changle was only a seven or eight year old girl. If he, a modern man, really had feelings for Changle, it would be too abnormal.
It was undeniable that Changle, like her name, was born beautiful and charming. At such a young age, it could be seen that she would grow up to be a beauty.
However, on the one hand, Li Zexuan only treated Changle as his younger sister. Lan 'er was lively and lovely, while Changle was gentle and well-behaved. Li Zexuan felt that it would be perfect if he could have two sisters like her at the same time.
On the other hand, Li Zexuan, who had a soft spot for the Tang Dynasty in his previous life, felt that the two most respectable and pitiful women in the Zhen Guan Dynasty were Empress Zhangsun and Changle. These two women were extremely virtuous, but unfortunately, their lives were very short.
Compared to Empress Zhangsun, Changle had completely inherited her virtuousness, but not her scheming and means as an Empress. Therefore, Changle was a gentle and weak woman who was extremely virtuous but not protected by a "hard shell." Li Zexuan had traveled through a thousand years. After seeing the real person, it was inevitable that he would feel pity and protect her. However, he was only treating her as his little sister and doting on her. He was not that perverted!
This is what a Han should do! But why is it that out of all the civil and military officials in the imperial court, only you, Brother Xiao Xuan, speak out for justice and argue for what is right?
Changle muttered in her heart. After that, she looked at Li Zexuan with her watery eyes and said with a smile, "No matter what, Changle should thank Brother Xiaoxuan! Alright! Brother Xiaoxuan, you can go and do your work. Changle should go and find Father! "
She also knew that there were many eyes and ears here. If she chatted with Li Zexuan for a long time, it was inevitable that people would gossip.
"Alright. Take care, Your Highness!"
Li Zexuan smiled and cupped his hands in salute.
Li Zexuan kept addressing her as "Your Highness" so politely, which made Changle slightly dissatisfied. She felt that it was very distant, but in this situation, there was nothing she could do. She could only nod and sigh in her heart. Then, she turned and left.
…
"Young Master, you're back!"
When it was close to noon, Li Zexuan returned to the Li Residence. San Bao hurriedly took over the reins and greeted Li Zexuan warmly with a smile.
"Mm, where's Yuxi?"
Li Zexuan clapped his hands and asked casually.
"Young Mistress is in the kitchen right now! Young Master, you can go and wash your hands first. The food will be ready soon! "
San Bao held Big White's hand and bowed.
"Mm!"
Li Zexuan nodded and walked into the residence. He thought to himself that his wife was really too good to him. Ever since they got married, Han Yuxi had been making delicious food for him every day. She was simply raising him like a "pig"! If he didn't have martial arts in this life, he would definitely become a fat otaku again if Han Yuxi continued to raise him like this.
After a sumptuous lunch.
The couple returned to the bedroom. Han Yuxi asked,
"Husband, is everything okay during the morning court today?"
Han Yuxi had never asked or cared about the matters of the imperial court. However, she saw that Li Zexuan was not in high spirits after returning today. She hesitated and asked.
Li Zexuan thought for a while and replied, "Today, the main thing is that the small Nanyang Kingdom is presenting tributes to His Majesty. It wasn't a big deal, but later, the Prime Minister of the Jiedi Dynasty proposed to His Majesty. Their King wants to marry Changle."
Han Yuxi was shocked and covered her mouth. "Ah? How could this be? Husband, did His Majesty agree? "
She had always had a good impression of Changle. When she heard that Changle might be married to another country, she couldn't help but worry.
Li Zexuan shook his head and sighed. "No, His Majesty is not muddle-headed. It's just that I have another task now!"
Hearing that Li Zexuan didn't agree to this marriage, Han Yuxi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. When she heard the second half of the sentence, she couldn't help but raise her head and ask,
"Husband, did His Majesty arrange another task for you?"
"Mm!"
Li Zexuan nodded and roughly told Han Yuxi about the matter of the Shipbuilding Department and the iron mine. After Han Yuxi heard this, she whispered with a complicated mood, "Yes.
"Husband, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. His Majesty thinks so highly of you and has given you so many important tasks. Whether it's for the country or the people, you should treat them seriously! With me at home, husband, you don't have to worry! "
From a personal point of view, Han Yuxi certainly hoped that Li Zexuan could foolishly do nothing every day and stay by her side. However, she knew that this was impossible. Her husband was so capable that he was destined to not be an ordinary person! Since the moment Yanhuang College was built, Li Zexuan spent less and less time at home. At that time, Han Yuxi truly tasted what it meant to "regret teaching your husband to seek the title of Marquis".
"Thank you for your understanding, wife!"
Li Zexuan smiled.
Han Yuxi shook her head and asked again, "Husband, are we going back to Yunshan in the afternoon?"
"Mm, we'll go back to Yunshan after resting for a while! In the afternoon, Faubert still has something to do with me! "
According to yesterday's agreement, Faubert would bring his nephew for an "interview" this afternoon. He had to tell him the location of several magnetite and pyrite mines.
At around one o 'clock in the afternoon, Li Zexuan took his wife out of the mansion in a carriage and went to Yunshan.
Naturally, San Bao and Fu were extremely resentful. They didn't expect their young master and young madam to leave after only staying in the mansion for a day. Such a master was extremely rare in Chang 'an!
