Beside Li Yanyun was a middle-aged woman in her thirties. This woman was slightly older than Zhangsun Wugou. She was dressed gorgeously and looked elegant. She was the Princess Consort of Commandery Zhao.
The Princess Consort of Commandery Zhao saw Du Qi. Today, Du Qi was dressed in a white robe and his hair was neatly combed. He looked very handsome. Moreover, Du Qi's trip to the Turkic Khaganate had left him with a healthy bronze complexion, and he seemed to be in excellent spirits.
In addition to Du Qi's contributions and his various deeds, the Princess Consort of Commandery Zhao looked at Du Qi like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law. The more she looked at him, the more satisfied she was.
Li Yanyun had also heard of Du Qi. She had been reading since she was a child and she liked military books. In particular, the person Li Yanyun admired the most was Princess Pingyang, Li Xiuning. She could make contributions on the battlefield.
Therefore, Li Yanyun liked books like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms very much. Every time the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was updated, Li Yanyun would buy it to read.
She was very curious about Du Qi. She also respected Du Qi like a reader.
When she saw Du Qi, a hint of shyness appeared on her face. She bowed and said, "Yanyun greets Brother Erlang."
Du Qi returned the greeting. "Sister Yanyun, you're too polite."
For Du Qi, it was a little awkward to talk to such a little girl. However, he wasn't even thirteen years old yet, so it wasn't too bad. Especially Li Yanyun, this little girl, who was very good-looking. She was now a beauty. When she grew up, she would definitely be a stunning beauty.
The Princess Consort of Commandery Zhao also looked at Du Qi and was satisfied. However, she did not stay for long. After a few words, she left with Li Yanyun, leaving only Zhangsun Wugou and Du Qi in the room. After all, the Princess Consort of Commandery Zhao knew that Zhangsun Wugou was going to talk about the marriage with Du Qi.
Zhangsun Wugou said, "Erlang, what do you think?"
"Okay!"
Du Qi nodded.
Whether it was Li Yanyun's family background, appearance, or even her manners, they were all perfect.
Du Qi did not object to such a marriage.
Moreover, based on Du Qi's understanding of his parents, they would definitely approve of anything that involved the Wang Family of County Zhao.
A bright smile appeared on Zhangsun Wugou's face. "Since that's the case, I'll reply to Princess Consort Zhao and call your mother over for a discussion so that we can settle this matter as soon as possible."
Du Qi said, "Thank you, Wangfei."
Zhangsun Wugou smiled and said, "You can go back."
"Yes!"
Du Qi got up and left. Not long after Du Qi left, Li Shimin finished dealing with the government affairs in his hands and came to the backyard to see the child. At present, Li Shimin already had two sons, Li Chengqian and Li Tai, plus a daughter who was born at the beginning of this year. His children were also very happy.
Although Li Chengqian was only two or three years old, he was eccentric and extremely intelligent.
After Li Shimin entered, he asked about the child. Then, he changed the topic and asked, "Maid Guanyin, why did you call Erlang over?"
Zhangsun Wugou said, "Husband, the reason why I called Erlang over is because Princess Consort Zhao brought her daughter over. She said that she has taken a liking to Du Qi and hopes that I can act as a go-between and ask Erlang for his opinion. Erlang agreed when he saw Yanyun. Now, we just need to call his mother over for a discussion. "
Li Shimin said, "This is a good thing."
Li Xiaogong had been fighting alongside Li Shimin for many years, so the two of them had a very good relationship.
The marriage between Du Ruhui and Li Xiaogong was a great thing.
Zhangsun Wugou said, "If husband says it's good, then it's naturally very good. Now, there are really too many people who have come to look for me. This concubine has already rejected many people. This Du Erlang is very popular ah. "
Li Shimin said, "Erlang is indeed a monster. He's very capable, especially when it comes to earning money. His personality is also very good. Unfortunately, my daughter has just been born. If I had a daughter, I would've arranged this marriage long ago. "
At this point, Li Shimin's face was full of regret.
Du Qi, this brat, is not bad.
The couple chatted. On the other side, Princess Consort Wang had already returned to the Zhao Residence. Although Li Xiaogong was an important official in the imperial court, the Zhao Residence was not luxurious. It was simple and grand.
After settling her daughter down, Princess Consort Wang returned to the study.
When she saw Li Xiaogong, she bowed to him and said, "My husband, Yanyun's marriage has been settled. Next, Princess Consort Qin and Du Ruhui's wife, the Jeong Clan, will discuss the marriage proposal and engagement. "
"Okay!"
Li Xiaogong smiled and agreed.
Li Xiaogong was just over thirty years old. He was tall, had sharp eyebrows, and looked very handsome. He had three strands of short beard under his chin, which made him look very elegant. Li Xiaogong smiled slightly and said, "Du Erlang, this kid, is not simple. Not only does His Majesty think highly of him, but more importantly, he's very capable and doesn't mess around. "
After a pause, Li Xiaogong continued, "I heard that Erlang brought Qianxue back from the Imperial Fragrance Pavilion. Although Du Qi brought her home, nothing happened. It's clear that Erlang is a man of principle. If he can arrange this marriage, Yanyun will have someone to rely on. "
Parents love their son, and their plans are far-reaching.
Li Xiaogong only had one daughter now. He hoped that she would have a good husband.
Princess Consort Wang said, "Husband, you're right."
After a pause, Princess Consort Wang said, "Du Qi is very capable. He's so young, but he's already the founding father of the country. Although he doesn't have an official position, he's still young. When he's older, he'll definitely become an official. "
"Especially after Du Qi went to the Turks and won a title for the Jeong Clan, making the Jeong Clan a fifth-rank county ruler."
"This is the envy of countless people."
Princess Consort Wang continued, "The only problem is that the Du Family's status is too low. Although the Du Family can be considered an official family, their background is too weak. "
Princess Consort Wang was born in the Wang Family of Taiyuan.
It was also one of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes.
This was one of the biggest families in the world. In Princess Consort Wang's eyes, the Du Family's background was too small.
Li Xiaogong smiled and said, "Madam, you're wrong about this."
Princess Consort Wang said, "Husband, what do you mean?"
Li Xiaogong said seriously, "Although Du Ruhui's official position isn't high, he's His Highness Duke of Qin's most trusted aide. He's the Duke of Qin's right-hand man. Although Li Jiancheng is the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, His Majesty has said many times that he wants to make the Duke of Qin the Crown Prince. "
"Everyone in the Duke of Qin's household wants to fight for the throne. They've never given up."
"Even if Li Jiancheng is the eldest son and the Crown Prince, he hasn't made any contributions and doesn't have enough prestige in the court. Therefore, the current situation is unclear."
"In the future, it might not be Li Jiancheng who inherits the throne."
Li Xiaogong said, "Once the Duke of Qin inherits the throne, the Du Family will be like a carp that leaps over the dragon gate and soars into the sky. Du Ruhui will definitely follow His Majesty in the court. At that time, countless people can't compare to the Du Family. Aristocratic families are nothing. In the current situation, they might not be useful. "
Princess Consort Wang thought for a moment and said, "Husband, you're right. However, Du Ruhui is indeed outstanding."
Li Xiaogong said, "Du Ruhui is not simple."
As the couple chatted, they were both very satisfied with this marriage.
