"What? You lost Lizhi?”
Zhangsun Wugou blinked his beautiful eyes and looked at him in confusion.
How could the Emperor of the Great Tang lose his daughter? This was too unbelievable!
"That kid said that the yield of the potato grains per mu was more than 4000 catties. Wuji and I naturally didn't believe him, so we made a bet with him. In the end, Lizhi lost, sigh…!”
Li Eryi sat on the stool and said dejectedly.
He was a dignified Saint Monarch of a generation, and he had two prime ministers by his side. He didn't expect that he would still be tricked by that kid.
This time, he had been tricked very cowardly and had directly lost the princess.
If this matter were to spread out, where would he put his old face!
Zhangsun Wugou glared at him with a resentful gaze." How could His Majesty be so rash? He actually used his own daughter as a wager?”
"How can I be a muddle-headed person…!"
Li Er's face was bitter as he explained to her helplessly," That kid said that whoever wins can make a request. I didn't expect that kid's request was to marry a beauty.”
"Did Your Majesty reveal your identity?"
After learning the inside story, Zhangsun Wugou's expression eased a little. However, she was very curious. How could a mere farmer's son dare to make such a bold request?
"After that kid made his request, I revealed my identity, but he was still unmoved and insisted on marrying Lizhi. Wuji threatened him and almost framed him as a traitor who harmed the country and the emperor. Don't you think it's funny…?”
Li Er didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he spread his hands!
If a human could become a spirit, he had no doubt that this kid was a spirit!
"There's such a thing?"
Zhangsun Wugou was even more curious. A commoner had falsely accused a first-grade official of the imperial court. His guts were extraordinarily fat!
"Then what does he look like? How's your talent?"
She did not want her daughter to marry a mountain villager. If it was a crude person, she would rather go back on her word than agree to this marriage.
"Tomorrow, that kid will send the betrothal gift over. You'll know when you see it!”
Li Er's brows furrowed into a line, and he was extremely depressed.
Although he had solved the problem of the people's rations, he had lost his daughter. No matter how he thought about it, he felt aggrieved.
It was like a mute eating a yellow lotus, unable to speak of the bitterness.
……
"Hurry up, keep up…!"
On the streets of Chang 'an City, Li Xuan led a group of farmers and drove a few carriages through the streets.
He planned to deliver the goods separately. He would go to the palace to deliver the betrothal gifts. The sweet potatoes of Wei Zheng, Cheng Yaojin, and Zhangsun Wuji would be handed over to the tenant farmers.
The so-called betrothal gift was actually a cart of sweet potatoes covered with a red cloth and a small booklet with planting techniques written on it!
"Young…Young Master, what do you think of our clothes?”
A few farmers ran up and asked with trembling bodies.
When they heard that they were going to deliver sweet potatoes to the three dukes and the emperor today, they were both excited and afraid.
She changed into clean clothes early in the morning and even took a shower so as not to embarrass her boss.
However, when he was about to reach the Public House, his legs started to tremble.
Since they were young, the highest official they had ever seen was the chief of the village.
He suddenly asked them to go to the High Duke's Public House and the Imperial Palace. He could not help but feel a little timid.
"Hmm, not bad…! It would be even better if her legs didn't tremble!”
Li Xuan nodded perfunctorily.
As expected of the feudal era, the common people's concept of superiority and inferiority had long been ingrained. When they saw someone with a higher status than them, they could not help but feel inferior!
They had not even reached the High Duke's Public House, but they were already trembling in fear!
"Hehe…!"
A few farmers rubbed their hands together and laughed honestly.
"Hurry up and come back. Don't delay the matter!”
Li Xuan instructed before parting ways with everyone. He brought a carriage to the palace.
"Aiyo, Young Master Li, you're finally here, hehe…!”
As soon as they arrived at the palace gates, a fat eunuch walked up to them with small steps. He pinched his fingers and smiled brightly.
"Eunuch, this is…?"
Li Xuan suppressed his disgust and looked at him in confusion.
Were all the people in the Great Tang Imperial Palace so hospitable?
"Come on, quickly send the betrothal gifts to the harem. The Empress wants to see it personally!”
The white-faced eunuch ignored him and ordered his men to clean up the sweet potatoes on the cart.
"Young Master Li, the Empress wants to see you, please come with this old servant…!”
Seeing the group of people carrying baskets into the harem, the pale-faced eunuch smiled and made an inviting gesture.
"This is…the mother-in-law wants to meet her son-in-law?”
Li Xuan muttered inwardly.
However, after thinking about it, it was normal. After all, he was here to deliver the betrothal gifts, so he naturally had to meet the bride's parents.
