A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"Little girl Yan Ru, I have met Patriarch Li." Yan Ru bowed and saluted.

"What a good girl." Li Ran looked at her and said, "It is said that this time, your Yan family wants you to marry His Royal Highness King Jin?"

"Yes!" Yan Ru replied.

"Are you willing?" Li Ran continued to ask.

"Why do you want to?" Yan Ru said in a low voice, "Marriage is a matter for the elders in the family."

Li Ran said with a smile, "I'm a woman from the Li family in Zhaojun. It is an object to maintain the family, and no one can help me at that time, and my parents passed away when I was very young."

"After I made up my mind, I killed that dude and left the Li family in Zhaojun and stayed in Chang'an." Li Ran's face was very plain, as if he was talking about something very inconspicuous, "Maybe you are different from me , but as a woman, why don't you fight for it, for your own future, to live the way you want to live?"

"Is Patriarch Li here to obstruct the marriage between my daughter and His Royal Highness King Jin?" The other party spoke softly.

"Are you so willing to let others decide your life? Do you think King Jin will want you?" Li Ran looked at her calmly.

Yan Ru smiled instead, "Little girl, do you dare to ask, does His Royal Highness King Jin have the final say on this matter? When will the Li Family of Zhao County get involved in the royal affairs?"

"You will regret it." Li Ran said, "Jin Wang is different from ordinary princes, he was raised by Gu Qing, if His Royal Highness Jin Wang is not willing to marry you, there is no telling what method Gu Qing will use to obstruct this matter Now, don't think about how much the people in your clan will do for you, you are just trying to win over Li Chengqian's things for the noble clan."

"Do you really think they will give you a good life?" Li Ran said again, "You are just a chess piece, Gu Qing and Li Chengqian are chess pieces in the game with the gentry, Li Zhi is the prince and is in the academy, the gentry You can't move Li Tai, you can only move Li Zhi. After you marry Li Zhi, the gentry will let you encourage Li Zhi to work in the academy to deal with Gu Qing. Even if you can't deal with Gu Qing, they can use you to keep an eye on Gu Qing. "

"I feel sorry for you, that's why I told you so much. I'm leaving." Li Ran left after speaking.

Yan Ru stood there thinking about many things, came to the house and said to her father, "Father, Patriarch Li has already left."

"I see." Yan Ru's father nodded, "Did she come to see you? What did she say?"

"It's all personal." Yan Ru said in a low voice, "Father, my daughter wants to ask something."

"Ask." Yan Ru's father stared at his daughter.

"Has His Royal Highness King Jin been raised by Gu Qing?" Yan Ru asked.

"Yes." Yan Ru's father replied.

"Well, my daughter understands." Yan Ru walked out of the house, her face paled a lot.

Yan Ru's father sat in a quiet room, looking at his daughter. He knew more about his daughter than he knew about himself. This was the first time that his daughter had lied to him in more than ten years.

"Come here!" Yan Ru's father spoke.

A servant came in from outside the house, "Patriarch."

"Arrange the itinerary." Yan Ru's father said, "I'm going to meet Li Ran."

"Yes!"

"Wait!" Yan Ru's father said hesitantly, "That's all! The old man will go to see Gu Qing directly, arrange the itinerary, and go tell the Gu family first, and send the old man's calligraphy and paintings."

"Yes!"

Yan Ru was sitting in her room, looking at herself in the mirror, Li Ran's admonition still lingered in her ears, she was nothing more than an object of struggle between the royal family, the gentry, and Gu Qing, and she was just a plaything for Li Zhi , to give the aristocratic family a thread to enter the academy.

The Gu family, Gu Qing soon received a message from the Yan family, and said to the messenger with a hoe, "I see, I will be at home at noon tomorrow."

The servants of the Yan family left after receiving Gu Qing's words.

Yang Sheng urged, "Gu Qing, hurry up!"

"Here, here we come. It's just planting a field, so why worry?" Gu Qing lazily walked up to the ridge of the field with a hoe on his shoulders. "The master of the land farms the field himself. Where can I find such a good Marquis?"

Yang Sheng swung his hoe into the field, and dug the hoe into the soil for three minutes before digging hard, "Gu Qing, can my daughter enter the academy?"

"What's wrong?" Gu Qing used a hoe to remove the newly sprouted weeds.

"That girl will be a general all day long." Yang Sheng felt the drizzle on his body, "Tell me, what will I do in the future, if she really wants to go to the frontier to fight, I won't be able to sleep well Yes, I just thought that if she went to the academy, she could calm her down."

"It won't be long before you say hello to Fatty." Gu Qing carefully weeded.

"Well, I'll go and say hello to His Royal Highness King Wei later." Yang Sheng swung his hoe vigorously again, "My father has fought for half his life, and she still wants to fight? It's against her!"

"Hahaha." Gu Qing laughed at the side, "Don't mention your daughter, my son is the one who gives me a headache, he just walks neatly, and ran into the warehouse without paying attention, giggling in a pile of silver cakes."

"A stinking act." Yang Sheng swung the hoe again.

In the Daming Palace, Li Er received the news that Li Chengqian wanted to arrange Li Zhi's marriage. Now that Gu Qing holds the power in the world, he can't compete with Gu Qing in the political affairs of the court, so he can indeed find a breakthrough in other matters.

Regarding Li Chengqian's method, Li Er just smiled, "Chengqian, you are still too young."

"Erlang, what's the matter?" Empress Changsun came over suspiciously.

"It's still about Chengqian and Gu Qing." Li Er relaxed, "This dress is really nice."

"It's just that the style is a little special, and the cuffs are too small to get used to." Empress Changsun said with a smile, "Since the matter between Gao Yang and Gu Qing was settled, Gu Qing and his wife Wu Mei have never seen them wear clothes like this on weekdays. clothes, but I gave them to my concubine."

Li Er looked at Empress Changsun's clothes. She wore them with a graceful and luxurious temperament. Compared with the usual robes, the clothes showed off her figure perfectly. "Didn't this kid think of making clothes for me?"

"What?" Empress Changsun joked, "Erlang, you are not happy with your son-in-law's filial piety."

Li Er watched his wife hold her hand.

"The clothes are uncomfortable to wear, I'd better change back to the original clothes." Empress Changsun said.

"Just wear it, it's pretty good." Li Er whispered, "Now that kid Gu Qing is also suffering from a headache, Chengqian is going to arrange a marriage for the young slave."

"Marriage?" Empress Changsun was surprised, "Whose girl, Zhinu is kind by nature, so I can't find a girl who is too powerful."

6 Chapter Thirty

"That woman is from the Langya Yan family." Li Er said.

"Langya Yan clan?" Empress Changsun was also puzzled, "Langya Yan clan has always been very stable and never came to get involved in government affairs. Why does a clan that has almost retired think of marrying our royal family at this time?"

"It's really weird. It's not too strange to say that the Yan family wants to send a member of the family to the court as an official, but the sudden marriage smells very wrong." Li Er thought about it.

"En." Empress Changsun also nodded, "It's not easy to accept the wives of the royal heirs, this matter needs to be investigated! The royal family is not an interest they can tie up, and I hope Chengqian will not be confused."

Li Zhi was born of a concubine and empress, and his status was different from that of ordinary princes, not a prince born of a concubine like Li You could compare.

Li Er saw Wang Qin coming in a hurry, "Your Majesty has found out everything."

"Say." Li Er said coldly.

"A few days ago, there was a quarrel between the gentry and the academy. It was still related to the imperial examination and the academy. Some people didn't want the academy to become bigger." Wang Qin looked at Li Er's face, "It's still the same as it was back then. Hold it in your hands."

Empress Sun looked at Li Er when she heard the words.
