In order to find a suitable husband for Princess Chang Le, Li Shi Min had spent a lot of effort.
Originally, Li Shiming wanted to marry Princess Changle to Zhangsun Chong, so that the two families, which were already closely connected, could become good friends again.
However, he did not want his most beloved daughter to suffer any grievances, so he simply let Princess Chang Le choose for herself!
Therefore, Li Shimin gathered all the suitable men in Chang 'an and held a poetry recital.
Of course, the 'suitable' here did not only refer to the suitable age, but also the suitable status.
Other than a portion of the students from Hongwen Hall, there was also Qin Huaidao, the eldest son of the Qin Family, Du Gou, the eldest son of Du Ruhui, and Fang Xuanling, the eldest son of Fang Zifang.
There were also two people whom Li Shimin had personally invited.
Zhangsun Chong and Cheng Chuyou.
After Zhangsun Chong received Li Shiming's letter, this matter quickly spread and he was regarded as Li Shiming's most favored person.
On one hand, Zhangsun Chong was Princess Changle's cousin, and on the other hand, Li Shimin was his uncle.
Therefore, many people thought that the others were only there to serve as a foil for Zhangsun Chong.
As for Cheng Chuyou, although two poems were circulated, not many people thought highly of him.
However, what everyone didn't know was that Cheng Chuyou was also one of the people who Li Shimin had personally 'invited' to!
The venue of the poetry meet was chosen to be Mount Taiyi, which was the later Cuihua Mountain.
Li Shiming had a palace here to cool off during the summer.
Apart from being Li Shimin's temporary residence, this was also the " Shanglin Garden and Imperial Garden " of the Qin and Han Dynasties.
Qin Shihuang used to hunt and relax here; Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had once set up a Heavenly Worship Daoist Temple here to pay his respects to the God of Taiyi.
From these points, it could be seen how much importance Li Shiming placed on Princess Changle's poetry recital.
......
"Ah... Why did you choose such a place…"
Cheng Chuyou closed his eyes helplessly, allowing three or four maids to help him dress and comb his hair. There were also a few maids holding a basin beside him waiting for Cheng Chuyou to wash his face.
It was about four o'clock in the morning, and Cheng Chuyou had to get up and get dressed.
If it wasn't for Cheng Yaojin's " caress," Cheng Chuyou would probably still be sleeping soundly in bed.
It would take more than two hours from Chang 'an to Mount Taiyi, which was close to three hours. Cheng Chuyou had to spend all of that time in the carriage.
Cheng Yaojin and Cui Ning looked at Cheng Chuyou with satisfaction.
After Cheng Chuyou finished dressing up and washing his face and brushing his teeth, Cheng Yaojin did not say anything to Cheng Chuyou. Instead, he patted Cheng Chuyou on the shoulder.
Everything was said without words.
Cheng Chuyou rolled his eyes and couldn't help but think of what Cheng Yaojin said at home yesterday.
Now that he thought about it, Cheng Chuyou was too embarrassed to say it.
" Marry the princess and give him a big fat grandson " Something like "Princess Changle is Old Cheng's daughter-in-law".
This was still considered good. If he said something, Cheng Chuyou was afraid that he would be killed by Li Shimin tomorrow.
After bidding farewell to his parents, Cheng Chuyou got into the carriage.
......
Princess Changle didn't need to wake up as early as Cheng Chuyou because she had come to Li Shimin's palace a few days ago.
Today, Princess Changle had also dressed up. She wore accessories that she usually did not wear and a very formal palace dress. She was a living beauty.
"The princess is so beautiful. I wonder which young man has the fortune to marry our princess.”Princess Chang Le's personal maid Dong Mei said with a smile.
"No, this is just an ordinary poetry gathering.”Princess Chang Le shook her head in denial.
However, she suddenly thought of a young man. Back then, she had been deceived by him. It was only later that she found out from the maid that he had actually kissed her!
At that time, Princess Chang Le was very angry and swore to teach him a lesson.
However, when Princess Changle saw him for the second time in Taiji Palace…
uh... He was quite good-looking…
He was also here today…
Thinking of this, Princess Chang Le couldn't help but blush a little. Dong Mei had seen this scene.
"Princess, why are you blushing? Are you thinking of some young man?”Dong Mei teased.
"Go, go, go. You dare to make fun of me?”Princess Chang Le stretched out her hand and retracted it.
Dong Mei immediately ran to the side, leaving behind a long string of bell-like laughter.
Princess Chang Le put down her hand and rubbed her slightly red face. Looking at herself in the bronze mirror, a beautiful smile bloomed on her face.
Dong Mei, who was standing at the side, took in everything with a faint smile in her eyes.
She had become Princess Chang Le's maid when she was very young. They had been together for so many years, so she knew Princess Chang Le's character very well.
Before this, Princess Chang Le had never shown such an expression. She did not even miss anyone.
However, after meeting Cheng Chuyou, Princess Changle seemed to have changed into a different person.
Occasionally, she would stare blankly at the mirror and start to care about whether she was beautiful or not. Dongmei even found the two poems written by Cheng Chuyou in the princess's study.
Perhaps…Who was it? Princess Chang Le already had someone in mind, right?
