Chapter 745 The Prince Consort



Autumn passes and spring comes, and a year passes in the blink of an eye.

It is about to enter the midsummer season, and the annual summer vacation of Yushan Academy is about to begin.

After last year's enrollment expansion, the number of students in the academy has exceeded 300. The campus, which originally seemed a bit empty, is now bustling with people.

Especially during recess, there are people lying on the grass and basking in the sun while reading, and there are also friends having heated discussions about certain issues. Of course, the most lively place is always the football field.

The year before last, football was the most popular sport in the school. After the freshmen joined, it became even more popular. If it weren't for the academy's strict prohibition on fighting, these young and energetic guys would have been fooled by it. .

Of course, these students are all smart people. Since fighting is not allowed in the academy, they will compete for the right to use the stadium through competition.

Thus, the monthly Yushan Academy football match was born, which has gradually become a traditional event of Yushan Academy and will last forever.

Qin Hao not only did not stop the football match, but also strongly supported it. Football was a war in peaceful times, not to mention that in a feudal society, there were so many enemies around the Tang Dynasty to conquer, so it was necessary to maintain a martial spirit.

What's more, football is not just a sport, it can also cultivate students' teamwork skills.

On the last day before the holiday, in the evening, after class, all the teachers gathered in the small auditorium for a meeting.

Students are on vacation, which does not mean that teachers can take vacation. For Yushan Academy, the work in the next two months will not be easy at all.

"It's the annual admissions season soon. All of you, gentlemen, have received a lot of gifts recently, right?"

Yun Ye's joke made the originally heavy atmosphere lighter.

All joking aside, there were quite a few disagreements about how to recruit students. Yushan and Lishi, the old gentlemen, advocated that teachers go to various places to search for civilian children as they did last year.

However, Yun Ye, who had always obeyed several old gentlemen, raised objections.

"Last year, Yushan Academy was not well-known, so it is understandable to do so. But now, Yushan Academy's reputation has surpassed that of the Imperial College. If we continue to blindly recruit ordinary people and exclude those from aristocratic families, I am afraid they will suppress them."

"Besides, there are many talented people among the children of aristocratic families. If they are deprived of the opportunity to enroll because of their status, it would also violate the academy's principle of fair admissions."

Several old gentlemen in Yushan looked at each other: "Oh? What do you think?"

"Public examination."

"Regardless of place of origin."

"Regardless of birth."

"Anyone from a good family can participate!"

As soon as Yun Ye finished speaking, all the teachers stared at him with astonished eyes. This is the Tang Dynasty. A person's birth basically determines his class. Princes, generals, Xiang Ning, etc., many people only pay attention to this sentence. He took the literal meaning of the words, but forgot that there was actually a question mark behind this sentence.

"Boy Yun, what do you mean, let those nobles, nobles, and descendants of the fifth and seventh surnames take the exam together with a commoner, regardless of birth, whoever does well in the exam will be admitted?" Li Gang asked in a deep voice.

"good!"

Li Gang laughed heartily when he heard this: "Haha, Mr. Yun, I originally thought that your senior brother was brave enough and could achieve great things, but I didn't expect that your courage is no less courageous than him."

"Okay, just because you treat everyone equally, we old bones will accompany you for a while!"

This was indeed a very bold decision. Even Li Shimin was a little undecided after learning about it, and called Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui to the palace overnight to discuss it.

"Fang Aiqing, is the academy taking this step too fast?"

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked at each other.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this move may seem risky, but in fact it is the most correct decision that the academy can make."

"Oh? What does Fang Aiqing mean?"

"The academy has only been in operation for two years. Your Majesty is well aware of the abilities of the students it has trained. If we continue to recruit students according to last year's method, it will inevitably arouse the resentment of the aristocratic families, and it will not be conducive to the employment of future students after graduation." Fang Xuan Ling paused for a moment when he said this, and found that Li Shimin's expression did not change, so he continued.

"Let the children of the aristocratic family compete fairly with the children of the common people. This not only blocks the mouth of the wealthy family, but also gives the children of the common people a chance to fight hard. Being able to make such a calm judgment makes me have a deep appreciation for Yun Ye. That kid was impressed."

Li Shimin couldn't help but nodded frequently when he heard this, but Du Ruhui shook his head with a smile.

"That boy Yun Ye has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. I'm not surprised at all if he comes up with all the clever tricks. But this method is mature and prudent. It's obviously not his style. I'm afraid he has someone else's guidance."

"What does Du Aiqing mean?"

"Of course it's the man from Qin County who is about to become His Majesty's son-in-law."

"Haha, what Du Aiqing said makes sense."

Yes, Qin Hao is getting married soon. Originally, he planned to wait for Li Lizhi to grow up in a few years before marrying him, but Li Shimin couldn't wait any longer. From the beginning of the spring, he asked Queen Changsun to help Li Lizhi prepare the dowry. Feeling indebted, Li Shimin prepared a generous dowry for Li Lizhi that far exceeded the princess's regulations.

As a result, Wei Zheng angrily criticized Li Shimin directly at the court meeting, which made Li Shimin almost angry but did not kill Wei Zheng.

In the end, it was Li Lizhi who took the initiative to persuade Li Shimin and the matter was resolved.

Because of this, Li Shimin felt even more sorry for this sensible daughter. Since the dowry could not violate the rules, it would be better to give Qin Hao an official title. Anyway, Qin Hao had not yet been rewarded for his contributions in donating potatoes and providing advice to control the locust plague.

As a result, Qin Hao inexplicably jumped from the most junior baron to a marquis second only to the Duke.

In addition, Li Shimin also rewarded many fiefs, gold, silver and jewelry, which was so generous that it was completely different from his usual picky character.

On the day of Qin Hao's wedding, all dignitaries from the entire Chang'an City came to congratulate him. It was inconvenient for Li Shimin and Queen Changsun to come forward, so the prince Li Chengqian took the wedding ceremony all the way, not to mention Shili Hongzhuang.

After a series of tedious rituals, Li Lizhi was sent to the bridal chamber, while Qin Hao was left to greet the guests.

"Senior brother, congratulations. You are now a relative of the emperor. You have saved twenty years of hard work."

"You kid, don't laugh at me. You're going to get married soon. Be careful when I tell you all about you. But I've heard that Miss Xin Yue is not an easy person."

Upon hearing this, Yun Ye repeatedly begged for mercy and no longer dared to tease Qin Hao.

"Yi Zi, Mr. Qin, you have been hiding here for a long time. I wonder why you can't find anyone for a long time."

"Yes, Mr. Qin, today is your special day, so we have to give you a toast."

Cheng Chumo, Chang Sun Chong and other students naturally would not let go of this opportunity to take revenge, so they dragged Qin Hao to have a drink.

"It's okay to drink, but the wine you usually drink is not interesting. I have prepared some jars of good wine today to ensure that you have never drank it."

When the servants of the Hou Mansion brought the wine, Yun Ye quickly hid aside as soon as he saw it. This was a highly distilled liquor, completely different from the rice wine he usually drank.

Sure enough, after Qin Hao finished three bowls in a row, Cheng Chumo and his gang were all drunk and fell to the ground. They kept muttering: "Good wine, good wine."

At the same time, in the wedding room, Li Lizhi was sitting on the edge of the bed wearing a headdress that was heavier than her head. Although she was very tired, she always kept her spirits up.

"Princess, why don't you lie down and rest for a while? It's been a tiring day." Ruyan, the personal maid, said distressedly.

Li Lizhi shook her head gently: "No, the etiquette must not be discarded. It is my first time to enter the Marquis's mansion today, and let outsiders know it. I thought all the princesses of the Tang Dynasty were so unruly."

While he was talking, there was a rush of footsteps outside.

"Princess, princess, the consort is here."

Hearing this, Li Lizhi straightened her waist even more and looked through the red gauze at a tall figure approaching slowly.

"You all go down." Qin Hao waved to everyone in the room.

"These" palace ladies were still hesitant, so Li Lizhi cleared her throat.

"Since the prince-in-law has asked you to go down, just wait outside."

"promise."

Qin Hao closed the door, walked to Li Lizhi, lifted the red gauze covering her face, and couldn't help laughing.

To be honest, Li Lizhi's outfit today is really not that good. Her originally rosy face was pale with gouache, and she only had rouge on her cheeks, which looked a bit funny.

"Why are you laughing?" Li Lizhi pouted her mouth dissatisfiedly.

Qin Hao said nothing and pointed to the various headdresses on her head: "Take them off quickly. Wearing them for a day is so tiring."

Li Lizhi followed the good example this time and quickly took off the headdresses on her head. Qin Hao also helped. It took the two of them more than ten minutes to take off the headdresses. They looked at the headdresses that were slowly placed on the table. , the two looked at each other and smiled, and the little emotion Li Lizhi had just had disappeared in an instant.

"Ruyan, bring in a basin of hot water."

"promise."

As soon as the palace maid Ruyan came in with a washbasin, she was kicked out again by Qin Hao.

After closing the door again, Qin Hao waved to Li Lizhi.

The little girl walked over cautiously, and Qin Hao rubbed her face with the towel he had just wetted.

After holding Li Lizhi's clean little face in his hands and looking at it for a while, Qin Hao breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he hadn't been dumped.

Li Lizhi's whole body froze. Since she was a child, except for her father and Prince Li Chengqian, she had never had close contact with any other man. The other man's palm was so warm that she could not help but narrow her eyes, like It's a lazy kitten.

"are you hungry?"

Qin Hao's voice brought Li Lizhi back to her senses, and she nodded her head: "Yeah."

"Wait."

After saying that, Qin Hao went out, and soon came in with some exquisite side dishes.

"Eat."

"What about you?" Li Lizhi took the bowl and chopsticks with some hesitation.

"I've eaten out."

"oh."

It can be seen that Li Lizhi is really hungry, eating one bite after another, but even though she is extremely hungry, she still eats very gracefully and chews slowly.

After eating less than half a bowl of rice, Li Lizhi put down her bowl and chopsticks.

"What's wrong? The food doesn't suit your appetite?"

"No, the food in the Marquis Mansion is better than that in the palace, but I'm going to have a rest soon. It's not good to eat too much."

When she came to the next part, Li Lizhi's voice was so thin that only she could hear it clearly.

Perhaps because she had eaten something, Li Lizhi felt a little sleepy and couldn't help but yawn.

"Tired? Then go to bed early."

Qin Hao said and hugged Li Lizhi directly. Li Lizhi's body froze immediately. Her face turned red and she buried it in Qin Hao's chest and never dared to lift it up again.

What Li Lizhi didn't expect was that Qin Hao just hugged her and made no further moves.

"What's wrong?"

Li Lizhi blushed and said softly: "Husband, we haven't performed the courtesy of Duke Zhou yet."

"At such a young age, you still know this." Qin Hao teased with a chuckle.

Li Lizhi's face turned even redder: "Before getting married, I was taught by an old nanny in the palace."

"Okay, don't think too much and go to bed. You haven't grown up yet. We'll wait a few years." Qin Hao hasn't reached this level of a beast yet.

"But it's against the rules." Li Lizhi was startled and said hesitantly.

"Home is never a place for rules. From now on, we can do whatever makes us feel comfortable, you know?"

Li Lizhi's eyes lit up: "Is this still possible?"

"Of course, there are only two of us in this family now, and you don't have an evil mother-in-law. I want you to wake up early every day, so why not?"

Li Lizhi was right. From now on, she would be the mistress of the Marquis Mansion.

"Um."

Turning around, when Li Lizhi woke up, she found that she was alone on the bed. She vaguely saw Ruyan waiting by the bed, yawned and asked.

"Ruyan, what time is it now?"

Ruyan covered her mouth and smiled softly: "Princess, it's already sunrise."

"Ah, it's so late, why didn't you wake me up earlier?" Li Lizhi was startled and rubbed her eyes. The sun was shining brightly outside.

"My slave originally wanted to wake up the princess, but my consort will not disturb your rest." Ruyan looked innocent, but there was teasing in her eyebrows.

"Hmph, you damn girl, you dare to make fun of me, right? Let's see how I deal with you."

After all, she was a little girl, and Li Lizhi soon got into trouble with Ruyan.

After a quarter of an hour, Li Lizhi changed her clothes. Ruyan was busy dressing her up and talking about what happened this morning.

"Let me tell you, the husband your Majesty has chosen for the princess is really good. The prince-in-law is both civil and military, gentle and considerate, and always considers the princess. Where can I find such a good marriage?"

Li Lizhi thought about what happened last night, and her face showed an intoxicated look.

"Hmph, that Li Anlan is so ignorant that she deserves to marry a Lingnan native."

Li Anlan's affairs were considered a secret outside the palace, but not a secret inside the palace.

Hearing this, Li Lizhi frowned and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense. She is still my sister no matter what. What's more, it involves the consort. If word gets out, I, the princess, will question you."

"No." Ruyan was so frightened that she secretly cursed herself for being less vigilant after coming out of the palace.

"By the way, where is the consort?"

"I heard from the housekeeper in the house that several students have come to the house. They should be in the front hall now." (End of Chapter)
