The Tang Dynasty is quite good. It will get better and better in the future.

At least during the Zhenguan period, Xu Qilin lived a comfortable life. The world was peaceful and the country was strong, which made the Tang people feel a sense of pride in addition to being stable.

Although according to the history analyzed by experts, during the reign of Li Zhi, the Tang Dynasty had the widest territory. However, Xu Qilin did not like the living environment at that time, let alone the cruel officials ruled by Wu Zetian.

Li Zhi doesn't need to create a big territory. The same is true if it were other emperors, as long as they were not a bastard like Li Chengqian.

Xu Qilin thought this way and did this way. Of course, no one now thinks that Li Zhi can get the throne. Therefore, Xu Qilin is the same as most people, so there is no need to deliberately curry favor with Li Zhi.

As he walked, he thought that Xu Qilin had already arrived at Bingxia Palace, but when he saw a few strange palace ladies, he knew that there were guests coming to see his sister.

"I have met Xu Cheng." The palace servants of Bingxia Palace naturally knew who Xu Qilin was and saluted respectfully, "Empress Chongrong is meeting guests, and wait for me to inform you."

Xu Qilin reached out to stop her and asked, "Who is here?"

"Go back to Xu Cheng, it is Princess Jinyang and Princess Changle." After the palace man said that, he added in a low voice: "Princess Changle is the eighteen daughters of Emperor Gaozu."

Xu Qilin nodded and said, "Then there is no need to inform me. I will just sit and wait in the side hall."

The palace servant got the order and led Xu Qilin into the side hall, served tea and fruits, and then turned around and retreated.

In his sister's palace, Xu Qilin was treated very well and was not seen outside. He sat down casually, drank tea, and then got up and walked to the bookshelf, looking at the books placed.

Although Chang Le is not Changle, Emperor Gaozu's daughter is only a little higher in age, but she is not as good as the princess who has the emperor's father.

But Xu Hui is such a gentle personality and is very good to everyone. Even a humble palace maid, she never treats her harsh palace maids, and she rarely has the opportunity to look fierce.

Not to mention literary talent, just focusing on this quality is simply beyond Wu Zetian.

Princess Changle is eleven years old this year. You think she is still very young and has not graduated from elementary school yet! But in the Tang Dynasty, getting married at the age of eleven or twelve is definitely not considered early marriage; fifteen or sixteen, she has become an old girl.

It is not that Princess Changle should have married at the age of eleven, but the girls at that time matured mentally relatively early, which was mainly related to education.

In later generations, when I was eleven years old, I went to elementary school and learned addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and abcd; and in the Tang Dynasty, especially in the royal family, people received etiquette and cultural education.

Princess Changle got a mirror from Yizi, which was what she wanted most before getting married. Although she was a small person, she also knew that although she was a princess, the half-emperor brother was not very popular.

Including other sisters and brothers, His Majesty Li Er can only try to make them live a more decent life without losing the royal face.

Therefore, Princess Changle will not speak out, and being strong-minded is just one of them, and having self-knowledge is the main factor.

Although it was asked by Princess Jinyang, Princess Changle still felt that she wanted to thank Xu Qilin. However, she had different identities, so she changed her goal of thanking her to Xu Hui.

They are all women, they are in the royal family, and the same is true for generations. If we talk about it, Xu Hui is her sister-in-law and Xu Hui's sister-in-law.

Of course, Princess Changle felt that it would be beneficial and harmless to establish a good relationship with Xu Hui and even the Xu family. Not to mention anything else, she didn't use much of the things sold in the Xu family shop, but she liked them very much.

"Your Highness the Princess will surrender next month, but what else should I buy?" Xu Hui felt that Princess Changle came to thank her, so she had to express her feelings. As long as she could, she hoped that Princess Changle would be married to a glorious place.

Princess Changle is not big, of course, it is the standard of later generations, but her speech and etiquette are very appropriate. "I have understood Xu Chongrong's mood. The items to be purchased will be arranged by the Ministry of Rites, so it is leisurely."

Xu Hui nodded with a smile and said, "The court rules are necessary, but they may not be satisfied. If His Royal Highness has other needs, he can also say it out! Even if the Ministry of Rites is not allowed, the royal family will try their best to make arrangements."

After pausing, Xu Hui added: "Your Majesty is busy with all kinds of things every day, and you can't take care of some things. Besides, the man is careless and will not think too carefully. Your Highness told me that if I look for an opportunity to convey it, your Majesty will agree."

Weizi said from the side: "Auntie, don't you say that the fragrance and bathing supplies in the Xu family shop are really liked!"

Before Chang Le could speak, Xu Hui had already clapped her hands with a smile and said, "This is even simpler. Let me tell me what I want to do with myself."

Princess Chang Le felt a little embarrassed, lowered her head slightly and said, "I have a real seal. If you like it, you can buy it yourself."

"What else can I buy? That's so weird." Xu Hui deliberately made an angry look, "Even if the wedding gift I gave me, it would be unreasonable to refuse!"

Princess Chang Le raised her head and smiled shyly, saying, "Thank you Xu Chongrong."

"What are you grateful for?" Xu Hui reached out and pointed to his dressing table and smiled: "This is a new style, I think it's very good. If you like it, let someone create one."

Although Xu Hui is gentle, she is very smart and will not be able to see the bad looks when she sees her face. Princess Chang Le looked at her several times, and her expression on her face showed her like she liked it.

"How is this good?" Princess Chang Le shook her head quickly and said, "Xu Chongrong just needs to tell where it was built, and I will send someone to it."

Xu Hui said: "This is a carpenter shop run by the servants of the Xu family, but the style is designed by Xiaolang..."

At this moment, a palace maid came in and whispered a few words to Xu Huier. Although Xu Qilin said there was no need to inform him, the palace maid thought about it and thought it would be better to report it.

Xu Hui smiled and said, "This is a waste of trouble. My little son is in the side hall. He calls him over and you will know it when you ask."

There is no inconvenience in this, Xu Qilin is still young.

The Tang Dynasty also had provisions similar to the marriage law. In the early Tang Dynasty, the marriage age was stipulated that the marriage age was 20 years old and the female was over fifteen years old.

During the Xuanzong period, the legal age of marriage was reduced, and the minimum age for women was reduced from fifteen to thirteen, and men were reduced from twenty to fifteen.

But this clause seems to be ignored. Even royal marriages do not follow this rule, let alone others? To put it bluntly, it is the same if there is it or not.

Like Xu Hui, she was only twelve years old when she entered the palace; Princess Changle, Li Lizhi, also got married at the age of twelve; Princess Li Tai, the King of Wei, got married at the age of thirteen, and Princess Yan Wan was only eleven years old at that time.

Xu Qilin is thirteen years old this year. According to the normal etiquette system, he will be considered an adult when he is 15 or 16 years old. Now, half a child, like Qianniu, can walk in the palace.

Chang Le was still hesitant, and Yizi had already run out to greet my uncle.

Xu Qilin was sitting there drinking tea and eating fruits when he heard giggles and rapid footsteps.

"Uncle." Xu Qilin turned his head and appeared in front of him with a cry.

"Haha, it's a whisper!" Xu Qilin hurriedly stood up and smiled, "Why are you running so urgently? I won't leave."

Yizi came close to him, pulled his uncle's sleeve, raised his face and smiled: "There is a new story serial in the Minsheng Daily. Have you sent the complete one?"

Xu Qilin scratched his head and said, "This is not. Isn't it good to watch it one by one?"

"Not good." Yizi answered without thinking, and then continued: "I didn't take it today, can I send it to the palace tomorrow?"

"Yes." Xu Qilin agreed happily.

Yizi was happy, pulled her uncle's sleeve and walked out, and said with a smile: "Let's go, go to the main hall. Xu Chongrong is calling you!"

Xu Qilin asked while walking, "Where is Princess Changle, are you leaving?"

"I haven't left, I'm still talking to Xu Chongrong!" said Yizi. "It should be Xu Chongrong that asked you to prepare some gifts. My sister-in-law will get married next month."

Oh, this is not a big deal. Anyway, the Xu family shop is mostly something that my daughter likes, so just take it some.

Xu Qilin entered the hall and showed rituals. This was the first time he saw Princess Changle. Seeing that she looked younger than him, he couldn't help but complain: His Majesty Li Er is so anxious to marry the girl out?

Xu Hui smiled and said, "You just happened to come, so I asked you about this. Princess Changle will go on a surrender next month and needs to buy some things. I want to count these things as my gift." As she said that, she pointed, "The princess likes the style of the dressing table, too."

In ancient times, a princess got married was called "shou", which means lowering her status; marrying a princess was called "shang", not "shang".

Xu Qilin hurriedly said to Princess Chang Le: "The dressing table is customized, it takes five or six days to make, paint and dry. This style can also be slightly changed."

"It's time for five or six days." Princess Chang Le smiled, a little embarrassed, and said, "The style doesn't need to be changed, I look very good."

Xu Qilin nodded and said, "There are also products commonly used by women in the Xu family shop. If your princess likes it, just choose it. I will write a note here so that the guy will not know the noble body and will hit Your Highness."

Collision is a trivial matter, and writing notes means getting them for free. Princess Changle still doesn’t understand?

"Then thank you Xu Xiaolang!" Princess Chang Le bowed, with a very small amplitude, and expressed her gratitude.

After pausing, Princess Chang Le asked hesitantly, "The mirror on the dressing table is probably valuable, right?"

Xu Qilin hesitated for a moment and said, "The dressing mirror is matched with the dressing table. It is made by Dayingku, and it is not valuable."

"Dayingku is a royal institution. If the princess surrenders, she will report to Your Majesty. If there is one more thing in the dowry, how can Your Majesty not allow it?"

Princess Chang Le pursed the corner of her lips and stopped asking questions. Xu Qilin had already made it clear that she would give it to the mirror for free. You still asked this and that, which would make you embarrassed.

However, this was a big gift, and I was really embarrassed to ask her to go to the Xu family shop to get things.

Xu Qilin understood very well that he could not take credit for such a thing himself, and he had to let His Majesty Li Er show his brother-sister relationship. Therefore, he must submit a memorial and believe that His Majesty will agree.

Xu Hui was very satisfied. My younger brother was mature and he was done properly. Just like she had also talked about His Majesty Li Er before, it is hard to say whether she was so busy with official business that she didn't care about her sister's marriage.

Seeing that nothing happened, Princess Changle came and was sure to talk to her sister, so she stood up and said goodbye.

Xu Huizhi sent out of the hall gate, and carefully ordered Princess Changle's maid to take care of her, and watched them go away before turning back into the hall.

Yizi brought her sister-in-law, but when she saw Xu Qilin coming, she didn't go with her. She pestered Xu Qilin and asked him to tell the stories serialized in the newspaper first.

When Xu Hui came in, Xu Qilin was talking about Du Zichun getting the money given by the old man, spending money and spending money too much.

"...I've got rich and burned the bags. Du Zichun bought a luxurious mansion, a servant and a maid, invited a genius and musician, held a banquet, and entertained guests. Once she changed her past downs and outs, she wanted others to see her and became more developed..."

"Those so-called friends who were afraid to avoid when they met on the road before, really came to visit them, saying compliments and flattery, and Du Zichun was a feast for a feast. Over time, more people became Du Zichun's guests..."

Seeing that Sister came in, Xu Qilin paused for a moment and showed a slightly helpless and bitter smile at Sister.

Wei Zi blinked her big eyes and said, "Is it so snobbish? How can those who usually ignore Du Zichun have the right to visit and eat and drink?"

Xu Qilin smiled and said, "As the saying goes, wealth is in the deep mountains and distant relatives, and poverty is in the downtown area without anyone asking about it. This is also the psychology of most people in the world, and it is not surprising."

Yizi nodded and said, "Uncle, do you think those palace ladies are smiling and serving diligently, is it considered snobbish?"

Xu Qilin thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's all, but I think His Highness is still kind-hearted, and the palace servants respect and love it from the bottom of their hearts."

Hahaha, Wei Zi grinned and said, "My uncle is here to compliment him, but he sounds very happy."

"Because I'm telling the truth!" Xu Qilin said with a smile: "I won't tell the story today. I'll send someone to send the whole article tomorrow, and it's written much better than what I said."

Yizi nodded and said, "You are going to talk to Xu Chongrong, then I'll go to the side palace to wait. You go to Jinyang Palace later and help me see 'Yingying'. It seems to be sick."

Yingying was the parrot given to Xu Qilin by Xu, and the one given to Xincheng was called "Doudou", both of which were named by two young men.

Xu Qilin smiled and said, "Your Highness the Princess is here for a while. It's about family affairs, but you don't have to avoid people."

Weizi smiled, but still got up to the dressing table, sat down and fiddled with the accessories.

Xu Qilin then told the elder brother's marriage arrangements, and basically prepared them all, just to reassure Xu Hui. In addition, he had to set a time to let the elder brother and the bride come to the palace.

"I am married on the 24th day of the first lunar month, and I will set off to Xiangzhou on the 29th day of the first lunar month." Xu Hui calculated and said, "I have nothing to do here, but Qi Qi is very busy. In this way, you can ask them to choose a day and inform me in advance."
