Li Lizhi, Mrs. Cheng, and Cheng Chuyu chatted for a while and gradually blended in. She was no longer as nervous as before.
Seeing that it was getting late, Li Lizhi declined Madam Cheng's invitation to stay for the banquet. After bidding farewell to everyone in the Cheng family, she returned to the palace.
Not long after he returned to his bedroom for dinner, he received a summons from Li Shimin.
Li Lizhi guessed that the Thousand Bull Guards who had followed her out of the palace had informed her father of what had happened today.
However, she didn't care and had already thought of an excuse.
He went straight to Empress Zhangsun's bedroom and met his mother and father.
"Imperial Father, Imperial Mother, why are you looking for me?”
Li Shimin said with a straight face,"Tell me, what did you do today?”
Li Lizhi blinked innocently.""Nothing much."
"The Thousand Bull Guards who accompanied you out of the palace have already reported to Imperial Father.”
Li Shi Min had a headache." Father allowed you to leave the palace, but he didn't let you go out with Cheng Chu Yu. How can you, a princess, marry a gambling den?" If word got out, where would the royal family's face go?”
"I'm not fooling around. I'm just going to get my money back.”
Li Lizhi explained casually and then said with a smile,"Moreover, I know my limits. This matter will not be spread.”
"Don't think that Imperial Father doesn't know that you're standing up for Cheng Chu Yu and the others.”
Li Shi Min snorted and continued,"Furthermore, if you knew your limits, you wouldn't have let the Thousand Bull Guards destroy other people's gambling dens.”
"My daughter will marry Cheng Chuyu sooner or later, so his money is my daughter's money. It's understandable for my daughter to ask for her own money, right?”
"That gambling den owes his daughter money and still wants to renege on it. It's not wrong to smash his gambling den to scare him, right?”
Hearing his daughter's twisted logic, Li Shimin was speechless.
"Alright, alright," Empress Zhangsun said in a timely manner,"this matter hasn't blown up, so let's forget about it."”
"But this won't happen again. You're not allowed to mess around in the future, or else you won't be allowed to leave the palace.”
Since the Guanyin maid had said so, Li Shimin couldn't blame her anymore, but his expression was still not very good.
"Hehe, I knew father and mother are the best.”
Li Lizhi hugged Empress Zhangsun's arm and acted coquettishly. Then, she looked at Li Shimin with a stern face and vowed,""I promise that I won't cause trouble for you in the future.”
Li Shi Min nodded, his expression softened a little,"Your wedding date with Cheng Chuyu has already been set.”
"What? There's still nearly two months left. That's a long time…"
Li Lizhi was obviously a little disappointed.
"This time is already short enough."
Li Shi Min didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"You've only known her for a few days, and you're already in such a hurry to marry her," Empress Zhangsun teased.”
Li Lizhi blushed.
"The wedding date has been set. Once the Ministry of Rites is ready, we will go to the Lu Public House to formally propose marriage." In addition, the princess's manor was already under construction and would be completed in a few days.”
" Ten days before the wedding," Empress Zhangsun said." You must stay in the palace and not go out again. There are many pre-wedding rituals that you have to personally complete."”
Li Lizhi nodded when she heard that she would not be able to go out for a while. She said unhappily,"Alright."
"If there's nothing else, I'll go back first.”
"Yes."
After Li Lizhi left, Li Shimin rubbed his forehead and said,""I don't know if it's good or bad to let Lizhi marry Cheng Chuyu. He brought Lizhi to the gambling den before they got married.”
"This kid is clearly both civil and military, far surpassing his peers. He's an extraordinary talent, but why does he have the slightest desire to improve?”
Empress Zhangsun smiled." People have different personalities. Naturally, we can't treat everyone the same way.”
"No, I can't watch such a talent be buried.”
"After the wedding, I'll arrange a job for him so that he won't have time to play." Li Shiming's eyes flickered.”
Empress Zhangsun thought for a moment and said,"But Second Brother, have you ever thought that with Cheng Chuyu's personality, would she really put her heart into doing things when she was forced to do so?"”
"If he muddleheadedly lives his days, forcing him to do so will not be worth it.”
"This…"
Li Shi Min was in a dilemma.
It was not right to not force him, but it was also not right to force him. Could he just let things flow like this?
Empress Zhangsun thought for a while and said,"Why don't we take advantage of the official marriage proposal in a few days and go talk to him personally to see if we can convince him?"”
Li Shimin frowned." Guanyin is the mother of a country. Isn't it inappropriate for you to go personally?"”
"If you can find talents, why care about status?" Empress Zhangsun chuckled.”
Li Shimin nodded." The Guanyin maid is right. I'll have to trouble you to go personally."”
......
......
The next day, at the Cheng Residence.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the daily check-in. You have received a packet of potato seeds.”
Cheng Chuyu didn't care about the system's notification and went to the main courtyard to find Cheng Yaojin.
"Dad, I remember that our family has a large winery, right?”
Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin felt strange.”
Cheng Yaojin was fond of drinking. He said that this winery was for profit, but it was more convenient for him.
Cheng Chuyu said," I happened to find a few good wine brewing methods. They are all new varieties and taste excellent. I want to borrow our winery to sell these wines. It should help our family increase their income."”
"Coincidence?" How coincidental?"
Cheng Chuyu was speechless.
