Back to Datang Jianzuo City

Chapter 687 Meeting the emperor on the road, marriage is a foregone conclusion
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Ding Yituo and his family got into a carriage and drove to Chang'an with a dozen carts of gifts.

From the second day of middle school, Ding Yi started to take Xuejian and Meier to visit relatives!Although these are not related by blood, they are also very close people!
Du Mansion, Changsun Mansion, Fang Mansion, Wei Mansion, Cheng Mansion, Qin Mansion, Yuchi Mansion, Yan Mansion, Confucius Mansion...

There were too many people to visit, so Ding Yi had to go to several more houses every day, so he would inevitably be blamed by some people for not staying for dinner.

Until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the annual Shangyuan Festival begins again!

The streets of Chang'an are decorated with lights and festoons, and people relax completely on this day. Life is getting better every year, and they can have more time to enjoy life.

The Yinhe Quyi Building holds a performance every year during the Shangyuan Festival. The famous singers and dancers of the Quyi Building will be on the stage on this day, so that the people of Chang'an can watch a wonderful performance for free.

This is also a marketing method of Quyi Building, which has made Yinhe Quyi Building the most popular position in Chang'an.

Every Mid-Autumn Festival, Quyi Building also holds a poetry conference, but on the day of Shangyuan Festival, there are too many poetry conferences, so they will not join in the fun.

As it was getting late, people took to the streets, guessing lantern riddles, watching fireworks, and enjoying the annual carnival!

On this day, there is no curfew in Chang'an, and everyone can party all night long.

Ding Yi led Xue Jian, Wu Mei, Xiao Qing, Liu Yi and others to follow, and started to play with the crowd.

Walking to a place and seeing people coming and going around, Ding Yi recalled the Lantern Festival a few years ago!
At that time, I was still beating someone here!But that person has already gone to the underworld to report!
Seeing a group of people from a distance, Ding Yi quickly turned his head and walked to the other side, but it was obvious that Xue Jian didn't want to do that!
"Sister Changle!" Wu Mei was carried by Xiaoxue so that she could see the surrounding scenery.She saw people in the distance and waved hurriedly.

The pedestrians also saw Ding Yi's team and slowly approached.

"Stop! Where are you going!" A voice with a slight smile came, and Ding Yi had to stop running away.

Every year during the Shangyuan Festival, Ding Yi would meet the emperor, and Ding Yi felt that this was deliberately arranged by Li Er!

"Your Majesty!" The emperor went out, although he was traveling in modest clothes, but there must be many people secretly protecting him around, so Ding Yi didn't hold back, and called His Majesty directly.

"Why did you want to run away when you saw me? What bad things did you do?" The emperor was accompanied by a series of little kids, as well as Empress Changsun, Concubine Yin, Concubine Yang, and two women that Ding Yi didn't know. Concubine.

Ding Yi smiled helplessly, and explained: "I just don't want to disturb Your Majesty's pleasure!"

"Follow me!" Li Er took the lead to walk forward, and naturally someone opened the way ahead.

Ding Yi took a step behind, saluted Empress Changsun and several concubines, and followed the emperor forward.

"Ding Yi, I promised you that you and Changle will get married a few years later, but this year should be fine too! Changle is already thirteen, it's time to get married!" Li Er did not go to participate in activities such as guessing lantern riddles around He just wanted to go out of the palace to have a look, to see the lives of the people, and to see the prosperity of Chang'an under his rule.

"Your Majesty, the empress should have been 13 years old when she married you!" Ding Yi wanted to delay it for a few years, after all Changle was only thirteen!

Li Er said with emotion: "Yes! I have been married to the queen for 20 years, it seems like a lifetime away!"

"Life is short all of a sudden, but as long as you live it to the fullest and look back on it when you get old, and don't let yourself regret it, that's enough! Living the same life as heaven and earth only exists in fairy tales, not in reality!" Ding Yi shifted topic, hoping to make the emperor stop the idea of ​​urging marriage.

"During the pre-Qin period, the First Emperor vainly sought longevity, and even sent Xu Fu to search for a way to achieve longevity, but in the end it was all in vain. Instead, he helped the Wa Kingdom and opened up the wisdom of the people, leading to the current situation!"

As Li Er walked, he nodded and said, "Hehe, the first emperor unified the six kingdoms, but it was only the pre-Qin that ended up with Qin II. It's embarrassing!"

"As far as I know, the person who has lived the longest is Mr. Sun. He is also a hundred years old now. And he can reach such an advanced age because he knows how to take care of his body. If you want to live a long life, there is no magic medicine. Lifestyle has a lot to do with it!"

Li Er woke up suddenly, why did he and Ding Yi get emotional.Smiling and scolding: "You boy, don't change the topic with me! Now we are talking about your marriage with Changle!"

Ding Yi sighed softly and said, "Your Majesty, don't you think it's too early to get married now? Changle is only 13 years old! Get married now..."

"Stop!" Li Er waved his hand to stop him from continuing, and said, "I don't care what you think, this marriage must happen this year! As for what you do after marriage, I don't care."

have to!Now there is no reason to object, if you continue to refuse, I am afraid that Li Er will misunderstand something.

"Marriage is only arranged by His Majesty! It's just that I have something I want to talk to Your Majesty about!"

Li Er glanced back at him and said, "If you have anything to say, why hesitate!"

"Yes!" Ding nodded and said, "I plan to hold an official assessment in the new city in ten days. Only after passing the assessment can you be qualified to be an official!"

Li Er stopped, looked at him in surprise, and said, "You have already made up your mind on this matter! Tell me now, do you have other ideas?"

"Your Majesty's lesson!"

"You will come to the palace to talk about this matter tomorrow. Today is the Lantern Festival, so I need to relax!" Li Er thought for a while, but he didn't want to talk about these things today.

Ding Yi agreed, and he didn't want to say anything, but he really had nothing else to say!

"Okay, all you young people, go and play!" Li Er drove people away, driving Ding Yi and the prince and princess away, so that he could have a stroll with his empress and concubine during the Lantern Festival.

The princes and princesses following behind were already distracted, and they were all overjoyed when they heard the emperor say this.

Li Tai, the crown prince, Li Ke, and Chang Le naturally followed Ding Yi. As for the other princes and princesses, they also found playmates and rushed to places of interest.

"Brother, wait for us!" Suddenly, a shout came from behind.Looking back, it turned out to be that kid Li Zhi and Li You!
As soon as Ding saw Li You, he thought of that Chai Lingwu, and wondered if that kid would continue to return to Xincheng and open a brothel in the next year!

If he continues to run a brothel, then... hum!Just let him know that the brothel rectification operation in Xincheng is not over!
"Chang Le, Your Majesty said... Let us get married this year!" Ding Yi licked his face, walked to Chang Le, held her hand, and prevented her from avoiding it.

This feeling is really embarrassing, looking at Changle's undeveloped figure, Ding Yi always has a weird feeling in his heart.
