The rain poured down and filled Taiji Palace.
Li Changqing brandished his long sword in an airtight manner. Not a single drop of rain could touch him or Li Xiu Ning.
The two of them danced together, making the summer night lose its color and the stars shine.
The guards who were lucky enough to witness it were mesmerized.
Zhangsun Wugou hid behind the window, looking dejected.
After the dance, the two of them looked at each other.
Li Xiuning hid something from Li Changqing.
Just now in Taiji Palace, Li Yuan had promised her that Li Changqing did not have Li Tang's bloodline and could not inherit the throne, but he could be conferred the title of King.
When Li Yuan appointed the next Crown Prince, he would issue an imperial edict to confer Li Changqing the title of King. To share the kingdom with the emperor!
The day Li Shimin became the Crown Prince was the day Li Changqing would confer the title of King. For this promise, even if Li Xiu Ning felt extremely uncomfortable and pained, she still had to urge Li Changqing to marry Zhangsun Wugou.
As their faces approached each other, they could feel each other's breathing.
Li Xiu Ning gently held Li Changqing's cheek and kissed him gently. Her tears could no longer stop flowing down.
"Sometimes, I always wonder if we would have met again if I hadn't brought you home on that snowy day."
Changqing, you know my friendship, and I know your feelings. As long as we stay by each other's side, so what if we can't become husband and wife?”
Li Changqing hugged Li Xiu Ning tightly and whispered into her ear,""If I can get my hands on the Azure Peak Three-Foot Sword, I can cut down the sky and the rainbow when I'm drunk. When my ambition is high, I would rather betray the world than you.
Now, I have the ambition to reach the clouds. You wait for me to pacify the Turks and sweep the Tubo. At that time, even if the world objects, I will overturn the world for you!”
Then, he turned around and walked into Taiji Palace.
Li Xiu Ning's eyes were smiling as she watched Li Changqing leave with tears in her eyes.
She was smiling because Li Yuan was going to confer Li Changqing the title of King.
She was crying because she wanted to see her sweetheart marry another woman.
……
Taiji Palace.
Li Changqing pushed the door open and entered. Zhangsun Wugou, who had received Li Yuan's order to serve medicine, hurriedly bowed.
Her feelings were also very complicated.
When Li Changqing entered the palace, it meant that she was about to fulfill her wish and become his wife. This was delightful.
However, she was not the one Langjun liked, which made her heart ache.
The Chief Eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Wang Chengren, bowed with a shrill voice.
"Greetings, Admiral Tian Ce."
Li Changqing nodded and glanced at Zhangsun Wugou. He said to Wang Chengren,""Has Imperial Father rested?"
"His Majesty has just taken his medicine and hasn't fallen asleep yet," Wang Chengren replied respectfully.”
"Take me to see Imperial Father."
"Yes!"
On the dragon bed, Li Yuan's face was pale and he looked very haggard.
He missed Li Changqing and didn't want him to be cursed by the scholars of the world because of his relationship with Li Xiu Ning, so he was very anxious to arrange a marriage for Li Changqing.
Parents 'orders, matchmakers' words. As children, they could only obey the marriage arranged by their parents.
Furthermore, Li Yuan was the Emperor! To disobey his orders was to disobey the imperial edict and ignore the imperial power!
Li Yuan had many children, so no one dared to disobey him.
However, Li Changqing was not one of them. He had repeatedly disobeyed the Saint's orders.
If it was anyone else, they would have been beheaded by Li Yuan. How could they tolerate him until now?
"Father, how are you?"
Li Changqing held Li Yuan's hand, his face full of worry.
Li Yuan did not give him a good look and said indifferently,"It's just a cold. I won't die yet. It's you, this unfilial son, who went against my will and dared to stand up on your own!”
Li Changqing pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice,"Imperial Father, your son agrees to marry Zhangsun Wugou.”
"Is that true?" Li Yuan immediately struggled to get up from the bed. His movements were so big that Wang Chengren was so scared that he trembled all over, afraid that something had happened to the emperor.
"The crime of deceiving the sovereign is a capital crime!"
"Your son does not dare to deceive Imperial Father."
Li Yuan laughed out loud, his face actually turning red, appearing extremely excited and excited.
"Good! Good! My son finally understands my good intentions.”
"Wang Chengren, quickly inform the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Rites, and the Imperial Astronomical Supervisor to be in charge of the marriage of the Heavenly Strategy General.”
Wang Chengren accepted the order, then bent down and issued the emperor's order.
Li Yuan pulled Li Changqing along and chatted for a while. Then, he looked at Zhangsun Wugou, who was standing gracefully not far away, and said,"
"Changqing, Guanyin will be serving medicine for zhen for two days. Send her back to the residence.”
"Yes, Imperial Father."
Li Changqing retreated and walked in front of Zhangsun Wugou, saying,""Miss Zhangsun, you've worked hard these two days. Father has ordered me to send you back to the residence.”
Zhangsun Wugou smiled sweetly and said," General, you're too kind. It's not hard to serve medicine for His Majesty."”
Facing this woman who was about to become his wife and leave behind the title of virtuous empress in history, Li Changqing, who had lived two lives, did not know what to say.
He only nodded at her and led the way out of the hall.
Outside the hall, he ordered the guards with sabers," Prepare yourselves and send Miss Zhangsun back to the manor."”
The guard received the order and quickly carried a sedan chair over.
Four Dragon Cavalry Guards personally carried Zhangsun Wugou.
Li Changqing led the way on his Wind Chasing Horse.
The Zhangsun Manor was not far from the Imperial Palace. In less than fifteen minutes, everyone had arrived.
When everyone in the manor saw Li Changqing arrive, they were so frightened that they hurriedly kowtowed and quickly informed Zhangsun Wuji.
At the door, Li Changqing said," Miss Zhangsun, since you've returned safely, I have to leave too. Goodbye!"”
As he spoke, he turned his horse around and was about to leave.
"General, do you not want to see me for even a moment?”
Zhangsun Wugou's deep voice rang out, filled with grievance.
Li Changqing sat on his horse and didn't turn his head." Miss Zhangsun, you've misunderstood. I'm busy with military affairs and have been delayed for the past two days. I need to rush to the Heavenly Policy Manor as soon as possible to deal with military affairs.”
Such an obvious excuse made Zhangsun Wugou feel warmth in his heart. At least, he found an excuse, didn't he?
She mustered up her courage and said,"Then can General address me by my nickname in the future?"”
Li Changqing paused for a moment, then nodded slightly and rode away.
Zhangsun Wugou looked at Li Changqing's back as he left. His eyes were in a daze, and a faint smile appeared on his face. Even Gao Shilian and Zhangsun Wuji had already walked to her side, but she did not notice it.
