Chapter 2800 2802【Marriage Grant】
Xiang Nan then mentioned Pei Zhao and Luo Xi''s marriage to Li Hao.
“Father, in a few days, it will be Luo Xi’s seventeenth birthday.” He said with a smile.
“Oh?! Is Luo Xi already that old? Time flies so fast.” Li Hao couldn’t help but sigh after hearing this.
Because there was no risk of Yongning and Luoxi seizing the direct heir, Li Hao still loved them very much.
"Yes." Xiang Nan nodded, "It seems that my sister has reached the age of marriage."
“Well, I want to help her find a good husband who has both political integrity and talent, good character, and a well-matched family.” Li Fu said immediately.
“Father, in fact, Luo Xi has had a crush on Pei Zhao since she was a child.” Xiang Nan said with a smile when he saw this.
"Oh?!" Li Hao was stunned and nodded, "Well, the two of them are a good match."
??Pei Zhao''s father, Pei Kuang, was a general of Xiaoqi, and his mother was the eldest princess of Pingnan. Therefore, he was not only a member of a family of generals, but also a member of the clan.
Outstanding appearance, excellent character, high martial arts, courageous and conscious. Last year, Dan Chi was concluded, but he made great achievements. Among the younger generation of clan disciples, he can be regarded as an outstanding figure.
??Moreover, he is also Xiang Nan''s companion. They grew up together and their relationship is irreversible. When Xiang Nan ascends the throne in the future, Pei Zhao will definitely be his right-hand man.
?Hence, if Luo Xi marries him, not only will she be harmonious and respect each other as a guest, but she will also enjoy prosperity and wealth for the rest of her life without having to worry about political liquidation in the future.
“Well, then I will draw up an imperial edict to grant them a marriage!” Li Fu said with a smile.
“I’d like to express my gratitude to my father, Luo Xi and Pei Zhao, for your kindness.” Xiang Nan bowed and saluted.
…
“Two pieces~” Qu Xiaofeng said.
“Bump! Hey, nine cakes!” Zhao Sese said.
“No, Qi Cao!” Luo Xi said.
“Hey, I’m just waiting for this one from you, everyone, I agree!” Yongning was overjoyed and said happily.
“No way, it’s you and me again!” Luo Xi said in surprise, “I sat at the table today and we haven’t even made peace yet.”
“Yeah, why are you so unlucky today? You’ve played eight rounds and you haven’t drawn a draw even once.” Qu Xiaofeng also felt strange.
"No, today is Princess Luoxi''s birthday, and she should have the best luck." Zhao Sese said with relief.
"You are playing cards, who won today?" At this moment, Xiang Nan walked in with a smile.
“Fifth brother~” Yongning and Luo Xi immediately stood up and said.
“Your Highness~” Zhao Sese also saluted.
Only Qu Xiaofeng did not move. He glanced at Xiang Nan and said, "Today is Luo Xi''s birthday, and we all gave her gifts. As the fifth brother, you haven''t seen anyone since early in the morning. Where are the gifts, why don''t you take them out quickly? "
"The gifts you gave me are nothing more than jewelry, clothes, jewelry, and the like. They are so vulgar." Xiang Nan curled his lips, "Even if there are 10,000 gifts, they won''t be as good as this one."
“You’re bragging!” Qu Xiaofeng made it clear that he didn’t believe it.
“Tell me first, what gifts did you give?” Xiang Nan asked.
“What I gave to Luo Xi is a malachite, a specialty of Xizhou, with Luo Xi’s name engraved on it.” Qu Xiaofeng explained.
"What I gave to Princess Luoxi is the "Picture of Women''s Benevolence and Wisdom" painted by Gu Kaizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty." Zhao Sese replied.
"What I gave to Luo Xi is the Baixiu Luo skirt that I specially made at Vipin Pavilion." Yongning also said proudly.
“Sure enough, none of them can compare to me.” Xiang Nan said with a smile.
“Then what gift do you want to give?” Qu Xiaofeng asked curiously.
Xiang Nan chuckled, took out an imperial edict from his sleeve, and handed it to Luo Xi''s hand.
Luo Xi unfolded it suspiciously and was stunned. Yongning, Zhao Sese, and Qu Xiaofeng quickly came over to take a look, and they were all stunned.
It turns out that this imperial edict was exactly the edict given by Li Chu for the marriage of Pei Zhao and Luo Xi.
Xiang Nan went to Pei Mansion early in the morning to announce the decree, and then rushed back to the East Palace to tell Luo Xi the good news.
…
"How about it, Luo Xi, does this gift from Fifth Brother suit your wishes?" Xiang Nan said with a smile.
? Luo Xi could hardly believe that this was true.
She has liked Pei Zhao since she was a child, but she has never dared to say it. And Pei Zhao is also a boring gourd, a big wood who doesn''t understand the charm, and he has never treated her with pretentious words.
So she could only bury this feeling in her heart, thinking that she might miss it in this life. In the future, it will either be for princes, ministers or clan members, or it will be like Mingyuan and Qu Xiaofeng, who will marry in foreign countries.
That''s why she was so excited when she saw the marriage edict.
?She nodded with tears in her eyes, feeling that this birthday gift was really great!
“No, no, this is a marriage ordered by the Holy Father, and it’s not you!” Qu Xiaofeng said, “You can’t borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha, so you’d better come up with your gift quickly.”
"Really, if I hadn''t been the matchmaker, how could my father know about Luo Xi and A Zhao?" Xiang Nan glared at her.
“That is also the mercy of the Holy One and the beauty of adulthood.” Qu Xiaofeng smiled and said, “Don’t be stingy, hurry up and bring out the gift~”
"Okay, okay, I won''t argue with you." Xiang Nan smiled and then gave Shi En a few instructions.
?Shi En left immediately.
A moment later, when he came back, there was a gift box in his hand.
Xiang Nan then gave it to Luo Xi.
Luo Xi took it and took a look, and saw an exquisite small box inside. After opening it, there was a dancing little man inside, and sweet music came out, which shocked everyone.
“Wow, what is this? How can it still make a sound?” Qu Xiaofeng said in surprise.
?Musical instruments still need people to play, but such a small box cannot have anyone inside, but it can still make pleasant sounds. It is really amazing.
Yongning and Zhao Sese were also puzzled. It was the first time they saw such a treasure.
"This is called a music box. I made it secretly and planned to give it to you." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Now I can only give it to Luo Xi as a birthday gift."
“Huh?!” Qu Xiaofeng couldn’t help but feel extremely depressed when he heard this. But Luo Xi was her best friend, so she was only slightly depressed and soon became happy again.
?Several people gathered around the music box and discussed it with great interest. They all wanted to know how it could make a sound. It was really amazing.
…
The next day, it’s Zhao Sese’s birthday.
Qu Xiaofeng also gave her a piece of malachite as a gift.
Xiang Nan gave her an ivory Guanyin carved by himself.
"Sese, I carved this Guanyin with my own hands. You must worship it well." Xiang Nan asked.
Zhao Sese was not surprised when Xiang Nan gave her a statue of Guanyin. After all, to her, she had seen all kinds of Guanyin statues, including gold, silver, jade, copper, wood, and porcelain. It was not strange at all.
Compared with the magical music box that Xiang Nan wanted to give to Qu Xiaofeng, these were all rubbish.
But when she heard that this Guanyin statue was carved by Xiang Nan himself, she was so happy that the meaning suddenly changed.
?The music box is just a plaything, while Guanyin is a god, and it has always been associated with "giving children away". It can be seen that in the eyes of the prince, Qu Xiaofeng is just a plaything, and he had to marry him in order to control the Western Region.
But he is the one who wants to spread the branches and reproduce the offspring.
