The Truth About Throwing the Embroidered Ball
At night.
A spring breeze blew past.
Wine does not intoxicate people, but people are naturally intoxicated.
In a daze, Chu Wen seemed to hear the system notification again.
"Ding dong! Congratulations to the host's wife for consummating the nuptial chamber with the host. You have been rewarded with a divine-level calligraphy skill.”
At this moment, Chu Wen was obviously not in the mood to care about anything else.
Soon, the night passed.
The next day.
When Chu Wen opened his eyes, the sky was already bright.
Beside him, Li Xue Yan was still sleeping peacefully.
Her makeup was much lighter now, but it was still difficult to hide her alluring appearance.
Chu Wen smiled.
Since last night, the two of them had become a real couple.
And he, in this strange ancient world, could be considered to have a home.
"Dong dong dong!"
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Old Junma, Junzhu, can this servant come in?”
Immediately after, the servant girl asked.
"Come in."
Chu Wen nodded.
With his permission, the two maids outside the door immediately pushed the door open and entered.
They were both Li Xue Yan's personal maids, one of them was called Lu Ping. One was called Cui Rou.
The two of them were not bad looking.
Although she could not be compared to Li Xue Yan, who was the master, she could still be considered a beautiful woman in the future.
At this moment, Li Xue Yan woke up slowly when she heard the commotion in the room.
Seeing this, Lu Ping immediately went to support Li Xue Yan.
These maidservants were inexperienced, but they also knew some experience in serving people.
After the wedding night, the female host would feel uncomfortable.
Cui Rou, on the other hand, was blushing as she helped to clean up their new house.
It had to be said that the wealthy families in ancient times indeed lived a very comfortable life.
Whether it was eating, drinking, defecating, sleeping, or anything else, there were maids and servants waiting by the side.
Chu Wen, a modern person, couldn't understand how he lived his life.
Of course, Chu Wen had now become a powerful figure in ancient society.
This feeling could be summed up in one word: awesome.
Eh?
Wait a minute.
Chu Wen suddenly thought of a problem.
It seemed that in ancient times, the personal maids of those women were usually the servants who warmed the husband's bed.
This could be considered a tacit agreement.
Thinking of this, Chu Wen felt even better.
On the first day of transmigration, he had a wife who could topple a country, and she was the kind with a noble status.
This treatment was simply unparalleled.
After Li Xue Yan got up and adapted to it, the two of them came to the hall and served tea to Li Daozong.
Actually, according to the traditional rules, the day after the wedding, it was Li Xue Yan, as the daughter-in-law, who served tea to Chu Wen's parents.
However, Chu Wen had no relatives or friends in this world. He was the only one.
Thus, the two of them could only serve tea to Li Daozong.
Li Daozong nodded. He was quite satisfied with Chu Wen as his son-in-law.
After all, he was good-looking and polite.
He didn't look like a commoner, nor did he look like a lecher.
After all the formalities were completed.
The few of them sat down in the hall.
At this moment, Li Daozong suddenly looked at Chu Wen and asked,"
"Chu Wen, since you and Xue Yan have already become husband and wife, then this old man will not hide anything. Do you have many questions in your heart now?”
Hearing this, Chu Wen nodded, indicating that there were indeed a lot of question marks in his mind.
Why?
For a person like Li Daozong who was of high status and power, shouldn't the person seeking marriage break through the threshold?
Moreover, he could choose any of them.
In this world, their Li family was the most powerful. No matter what the other party's identity was, according to reason, Li Xue Yan was worthy.
There were no other problems.
Then why did Li Daozong use the method of throwing an embroidered ball to find a groom?
Could it be that Li Xue Yan could not get married?
Chu Wen really didn't understand this.
Seeing Chu Wen's puzzled expression, Li Daozong didn't keep him in suspense any longer. He explained,
"Actually, this matter was forced by those Tibetans.”
Tibetan?
Chu Wen blinked his eyes and recalled the events that happened during the Zhenguan period. He immediately understood.
As expected, what Li Daozong said was just as Chu Wen had expected.
"At the beginning of this year, the Tibetan envoy came to Chang 'an and presented a petition to His Majesty, requesting the Tang Empire to marry a princess to their ruler. His Majesty saw the sincerity of the Tibetan envoy and agreed to it.
However, under the Emperor, other than Princess Changle, no other princess had reached the age of marriage.
Princess Chang Le was the apple of His Majesty and the Empress's eyes, so His Majesty naturally couldn't bear to let her marry far away.
Thus, after a while, His Majesty decided to marry Xue Yan.
This old man had already indirectly learned of His Majesty's intentions a few days ago.
The Tubo Empire is far away and is a foreign barbarian. How can I let Xueyan marry there?
Therefore, in a hurry, this old man can only let Xueyan marry someone else to end His Majesty's thoughts.”
Li Daozong slowly recounted the entire sequence of events.
Simply put, Second Emperor Li was unwilling to marry his daughter, so he set his sights on Li Xue Yan.
However, Li Daozong was not someone to be trifled with.
He did not dare to openly go against the decree but thought of another way, which was to throw the embroidered ball to find a groom and marry Li Xue Yan off first.
This way, Chu Wen, the transmigrator, would benefit.
