Parents 'Orders and Matchmaker's Words
Empress Zhangsun's body trembled.
A few days ago, Li Shimin suddenly decided not to consider his daughter's marriage with Zhangsun Chong.
She had heard of it.
Empress Zhangsun did not object to the marriage. After all, one side was her own daughter, and the other was her own nephew.
The marriage between the two families seemed to be a good thing.
However, it inevitably made her worry.
As the Zhangsun Clan grew stronger, the discussions in the court grew louder and louder.
She was the lord of the harem, in charge of the harem.
His eldest brother, Zhangsun Wuji, held an important position in the court and was Li Shimin's best friend since childhood.
It was not an exaggeration to say that he was below one person and above ten thousand people.
There was no lack of greedy people in the family. Even if they became high officials, they would only do things that would bring disaster to the country and the people.
Empress Zhangsun and Zhangsun Wuji had been suppressing the excessive expansion of the family's power.
If the marriage was completed at this time, the criticism within the family would probably spread at the same time.
Empress Zhangsun clenched her fists and looked at Li Shimin with a questioning look.
"Your Majesty, didn't you say that you found the descendant of Brother Lin who saved you back then?”
The extremely intelligent Empress Zhangsun naturally knew what it meant to postpone the marriage.
Li Shimin didn't want to break his promise.
Even if only a few people knew about this, he did not want to go back on his promise with his benefactor.
When Empress Zhangsun heard that the engagement was canceled, she was even secretly happy.
But now, he suddenly said that he wanted to betroth Chang Le to a tavern manager.
Even though she knew that the shopkeeper had monstrous talent.
He was definitely not an ordinary person.
But as a mother, Empress Zhangsun still felt a little difficult to say.
Li Shi Min smiled and sipped his tea quietly.
There were two people in the room. One was deep in thought and distressed, while the other was smiling.
No one spoke first.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Empress Zhangsun's mind.
He looked up at Li Shi Min.
His expression and eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Your Majesty, could it be…This little shopkeeper is like a forest?"
Their eyes met.
Li Shi Min laughed.
"The Guanyin maid is extremely intelligent. She thought of it so quickly.”
Empress Zhangsun's face was blank as she finally reacted.
There really was such a coincidence in this world.
It was really wonderful.
"Your Majesty, that Brother Lin back then was just a barefooted merchant. He couldn't even read a single word.”
"Even his swaddled child was given a name by His Majesty.”
"What kind of fortuitous encounter did you encounter all these years to be so talented?”
Empress Zhangsun could not help but sigh.
"If I remember correctly, that child is called Lin Fan, right?”
Li Shi Min nodded solemnly and looked at the stars in the sky.
It was as if he had returned to that rainy night.
The child in swaddling clothes did not cry or make a fuss in his old friend's arms. His big eyes blinked back and forth, making him very likable.
Coinciding with the war, the child had long lost his mother.
There was still no name.
Li Shi Min naturally agreed to his benefactor's request.
Perhaps this child was really intelligent, his two toot little hands grabbed Li Shimin's clothes and refused to let go.
Perhaps, it was from that time that Li Shiming became even more determined to pacify the world.
Li Shi Min named the child Fan.
It meant to be an ordinary mortal in this chaotic world.
Marry a wife, have children, and live an ordinary life.
I don't want to be famous in the world, but I want to live an ordinary life.
? What a joke. Lin Fan, Lin Fan was born extraordinary.
Empress Zhangsun hugged Li Shimin from behind.
Li Shi Min recovered from his memories.
She held Empress Zhangsun's hand.
"Guanyin maid, what do you think of me betrothing Chang Le to Lin Fan?”
There were only a handful of people who could make Li Shi Min praise them.
Even if Empress Zhangsun had never seen him before, she believed in Li Shiming's judgment.
Since ancient times, parents 'orders and matchmakers' words have always been the same.
He didn't know if he was lucky or unlucky to be born into an imperial family.
The princesses did not have the right to choose at all, and some of them became sacrifices of politics.
Some even married far away for the sake of their hundred-year-old foundation.
He would never be able to return to the Central Plains.
Although she was the Empress.
However, she was still a mother, and Empress Zhangsun naturally did not want this to happen.
If Lin Fan was really that talented, marrying Chang Le to him would be a blessing.
In a trance.
A cunning look flashed across Empress Zhangsun's eyes.
"Your Majesty, may I be so bold as to ask if this matter is public or private?”
Li Shi Min turned around and found it funny.
"Of course it's a private matter. Changle is our child. Isn't this to ask for your opinion as a mother?”
Empress Zhangsun pondered for a moment and said," According to my calculations, Lin Fan should be 19 years old. His age is just right. Changle is also about to reach the age of marriage."”
"A perfect couple, it's a good story.”
"Brother Lin has treated you with kindness. The emperor's words are of nine tripods, so you should definitely do what you say.”
Hearing this,
Li Shi Min was overjoyed, his excitement was beyond words.
Before this, he was still worried that Empress Zhangsun would oppose this matter. After all, the other side was her biological brother and nephew.
After all, people often said that fertile water should not flow into other people's fields.
Seeing this, his uneasy heart finally relaxed.
"Your Majesty's intentions aren't just that, right? You probably want Lin Fan to become an official in the Imperial Court.”
"When Lin Fan steps into the royal family and becomes a family, Your Majesty will no longer have to worry about him not being able to display his talents.”Empress Zhangsun analyzed carefully.
Li Shi Min wasn't surprised. He smiled and said,"No one knows me better than the Guanyin maid. Otherwise, how could there be a second person in this world who understands me so well?”
Empress Zhangsun crossed her hands in front of her chest and changed the topic.
"Since ancient times, it has always been the parents 'orders and matchmakers' words.”
"Seeing is believing. Since it's for personal reasons, ChenQie dares to say something.”
"As Changle's mother, I want to see for myself if this young master Lin Fan is really that extraordinary.”
"Let's see if he's worthy of my daughter.”
