That night, Li Shimin and Li Junxian returned to Lingzhou on horseback.
He had no choice but to leave Chang Le in Tremella Village.
Firstly, he didn't have the strength to take Chang Le away by force. Secondly, Yang Chen wasn't that strong, so Li Shimin didn't want to send out the army to make a big deal out of it.
The princess had run away with the hunter. This matter would not only become a topic of gossip in the Great Tang, but it would also be recorded in the annals of history.
After returning to his residence in Lingzhou City, Li Shimin found Empress Zhangsun and immediately discussed the matter.
Between political interests and their daughter's happiness, the two of them chose the latter.
As for the aftermath of the lightning resistance and breach of contract, the two of them would have to shoulder it.
However, he absolutely could not hold a grand wedding, and he could not even announce Yang Chen's identity as the Prince Consort.
How embarrassing!
If the eldest princess of the Tang Empire married a hunter from Tremella Village, she would be laughed at by the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs. Zhangsun Wuji would also lose face, and Li Shimin would not be able to step down.
Only Zhangsun You, Li Junxian, the Emperor, Yang Chen, and his wife knew of this matter. No one else could know.
When Empress Zhangsun woke up, she sat in an ordinary sedan chair and went to Tremella Village with four maids.
She usually wore simple and elegant clothes. She would only change into luxurious palace clothes for formal occasions such as the palace, so she did not need to disguise herself.
When he arrived at Tremella Village, he did not go to Yang Chen's house. Instead, he walked around alone.
Tremella Village heard that someone was asking about Yang Chen. They did not expect Yang Chen to become more and more famous, so they naturally told the truth.
"Little Chen, work hard. My brat is still in bed. Yang Chen went up the mountain to hunt before dawn.”
"Yang Chen is so filial. He spent seven or eight strings of money to build a mud house for Madam Yang. Tsk tsk, I'm envious.”
"Yang Chenjun, I also want to marry my daughter to him, but he doesn't like it.”
......
Yang Chen had rave reviews, but he was too picky about his wife and did not want to marry into her family.
Empress Zhangsun had a rough idea of what to do and walked straight to Yang Chen's house.
Yang Chen was working with Uncle Zhang to build some walls and tiles for the wedding when he suddenly saw a woman coming into the courtyard. He immediately went up to her.
"I'm Li Caiwei's mother.”
Yang Chen felt the beautiful woman's gaze and his face became warm."Mother-in-law, please come in. It's just that my house is simple and crude, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to serve you well.”
The Empress Zhangsun in front of him was only in her thirties and was in her prime.
It could be seen that Changle had inherited Empress Zhangsun's beauty, especially her lively eyes and gentle temperament.
"You are dignified and courteous. No wonder Cai Wei would rather break the engagement and marry into your family.”Empress Zhangsun said as she walked into the house.
His tone was gentle and amiable. There was no contempt in his voice. He was just stating a fact.
Empress Zhangsun saw every word and action of Yang Chen.
He felt that Yang Chen was down and out now, and his future would definitely be limitless.
At this moment, Yang Chen finally understood why his father-in-law was so angry yesterday. It turned out that Chang Le had an engagement.
"Yang Chen, I have also heard about the matter between you two. You don't have to worry, I will naturally help you solve everything.”
Empress Zhangsun's words made her stand clear and also calmed Yang Chen's heart.
Yang Chen bowed to the other party. His mother-in-law was really easy to talk to. She had the aura of a superior.
The two of them came into the room and sat down. Empress Zhangsun seemed to be curious that Chang Le was not inside.
"My mother brought Cai Wei to visit her relatives in the village. We are preparing to get married in three days.”Yang Chen deliberated as he looked up to observe Empress Zhangsun's expression.
Empress Zhangsun didn't show any displeasure and said solemnly,""Sure, but there's one thing that I hope you can understand.”
His mother-in-law spoke so gently that even Yang Chen was a little stunned. He said,"Mother-in-law, just say it."
"You also know the difference in status between our two families. On the wedding day, only Cai Wei's father and I will be present.”
"If Cai Wei's father's family and friends knew about this, our Li family would definitely be laughed at.”
"You will also have countless troubles.”
Empress Zhangsun looked at Yang Chen after she finished speaking. Her tone seemed gentle, but in reality, she could not be rejected.
F * ck!
Li Caiwei was actually a scholar!
I actually married a fair, rich, and beautiful woman from the Tang Dynasty!
This thought instantly popped up in Yang Chen's mind.
The reason why his mother-in-law said this was definitely because the Li family was a noble family. That was why she was afraid that her friends would know.
He was even ridiculed by the people in the circle of nobles.
However, the nearby Li family was the Li family of Longxi.
He had not expected that his father-in-law, Rich Man Li, was actually from the Li family of Longxi. No wonder his mother-in-law had the feeling that she was the matriarch of a wealthy family.
The Li family of Longxi, the Lu family of Fanyang, the Cui family of Qinghe, the Zheng family of Xingyang and the Wang family of Taiyuan were the first-class aristocratic families of the Tang Dynasty, and they were even more powerful.
These five gentry clans had internal marriages, and even the emperor looked down on them.
Therefore, it was said among the people that the daughters of the aristocratic families were more noble than the princesses.
The daughter of the gentry clan did not even marry a prince, but married a hunter. It could be said that she had set a precedent for the gentry clan.
The Village Chief of Tremella Village was a branch of the Li Clan of Longxi, so he could call the wind and summon the rain in the village. He was respected by everyone, which was a testament to the power of the Li Clan of Longxi.
Therefore, only Mr. Li and his mother-in-law would be present on the wedding day.
They were also protecting Yang Chen from being harassed by the aristocrats.
"Father-in-law and mother-in-law have overcome countless obstacles to marry Cai Wei to me.”
"On the wedding day, it's enough to have father-in-law and mother-in-law present.”
Yang Chen bowed to Empress Zhangsun again, thanking her for her help.
Empress Zhangsun saw that the other party was able to understand it with just a little bit and could not help but feel that Yang Chen was really intelligent.
Although the Li family was a royal family, they still cared about their reputation in the circle of noble families.
In this way, it was best to get married quietly.
