Film and TV: Starting from the marriage with Zhao Linger

Because these tributes instantly became hot items.

Although most of the tribute was sent directly to the palace and then distributed by the Tang Emperor.

After all, Li Shouxi was an outsider, so it was not appropriate to give him gifts directly, which would have created a situation of forming cliques. A small portion of the gifts were given to those aristocratic families, military nobles, and important officials of the three dynasties.

These are elders or respected people, so there is no need to worry about taboos.

“Madam Shang Fei, this is a gift that the prince sent specially for you.

This is a special incense, made from special oils mixed with precious spices such as ambergris and musk. It has the effects of calming the mind, helping sleep, relieving fatigue, and slowing down aging.

And this is the amount for one year. In the future, the prince will send a batch to Concubine Shang every year."

First comes a box of incense, with a total of one thousand pieces, each of which can be used for one night.

Then, the visitor opened another treasure chest, which contained colorful silk as brilliant as the morning glow, which made Concubine Shang's eyes light up.

“This is the finest brocade in Jiangnan. Although it is also available in the imperial palace, the material used to weave this brocade is extremely special. It uses a type of silk called Luojia silkworm, which is extremely rare.

Even though the prince only obtained about ten horses during his mission to Daliang, the prince left five horses for you, one for the emperor and one for the queen, and the other three are used as ingredients for the princess's auspicious attire this time!"

"Your Majesty, this is the tribute gift list for His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan this time!"

Yashan honey, snow frog, Taibai Mountain ginseng, top-quality fox fur... In addition to these tributes that were paid every year, the tributes that the Tang Emperor valued most were those that appeared for the first time.

After all, as the emperor, he has everything he needs, so naturally new things can arouse his curiosity.

Sperm oil?

Unlike the exotic spermaceti oil, the 30 cubic meters of spermaceti oil that Li Shouxi presented as tribute this time was a kind of oil used for burning and lighting.

In a giant whale, there are hundreds of cubic meters of this stuff in its big brain.

Huge fins!

This thing was of no value to Li Shouxi, so he gave it directly to the Emperor of Tang as a tribute, as a capital for showing off.

The sword fin, which was three meters high, was divided by Li Shouxi into nine assembled parts.

The finest Saker Falcon cub!

This was the tribute presented by King Wannu after Haidongqing offended Li Shouxi.

However, Li Shouxi had no interest in the Saker Falcon, even though it was very rare and extremely majestic.

But it takes too long to raise a Saker Falcon, and once it appears on the battlefield, it is of no use to a master. It might end up in the mouth of a tiger Kui one day.

Top-grade Zen incense! Five-color brocade! Liaodong tribute rice...

"Take 70% of the tribute and give it to the royal family, and distribute it to the royal relatives and officials above the third rank in the capital."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The imperial palace cannot use these things. Only the top tributes are real tributes.

Therefore, it is most appropriate for the royal family to distribute it to the people below.

Li Shouxi also planned this in order to avoid suspicion.

Moreover, he knew that Li Shouxi must have a lot of good things in his hands. At least the tributes that had just been delivered to Penglai Palace in boxes were the real essence.

"Go to Penglai Palace!"

When the Emperor of Tang called Penglai Palace, the clear and sweet laughter of Concubine Shang was heard from inside.

Reaching out his hand to stop the maid who was about to pay her respects, the Emperor of Tang walked in curiously. He saw boxes of luxurious and precious tributes in the hall, including five pieces of five-colored brocade, which he and the Queen only had one piece of.

At this time, Concubine Shang was staring at a black box and laughing foolishly, as if she saw something funny.

Moreover, there were some vague sounds coming from the box.

"Mei Jian greets His Majesty!"

Mei Jian looked at the emperor who came in and bowed quickly.

"I have met your Majesty!"

Hearing the voice, Concubine Shang also bowed quickly, but Emperor Tang walked towards the black box curiously, revealing a hint of curiosity and said:

"What did the concubine see in there that was so funny?"

"Your Majesty, this is the voice box Xier sent me!

I don’t know how the concubine inside was able to make the little person move inside, and the conversation coming from inside is extremely funny! "

After that, he gave up his position to Emperor Tang.

Emperor Tang looked at the box in front of him and saw two little figures moving inside, but not in the dirty way, but more like some kind of folk drama.

At the same time, the voices of villains could be heard from time to time, which amazed the Tang Emperor.

If his realm was not high enough and he had not seen the secret of the rapid interweaving and overlapping of the images, he would have really thought that there were two little men hidden inside.

As for the sound?

It is a technology similar to that of a music box, where the sound is engraved inside and it produces a sound similar to that of a human speaking by rotating it.

This is definitely more mysterious than a simple music box!

"Good stuff, why doesn't your prince give me one?"

“Your Majesty, please forgive me. It’s not that the prince doesn’t want to, but Senior Lu Miaozi only did two.

One is a birthday gift for my cousin (Shang Xiuxun), which is also the original intention of Senior Lu Miaozi to make this voice box; the other is a thank-you gift to the prince. If it weren’t for the prince’s suggestion, Lu Miaozi would not have thought of this magical voice box! "

"Lu Miaozi? It turns out to be that stubborn old man!

That's right, only that old stubborn man could make something so mysterious."

After hearing Mei Jian's explanation, Emperor Tang also knew that it was impossible to make a third one.

If Lu Miaozi's things were so easy to copy, he would not be a master.

At the same time, he was also amazed at Li Shouxi's creative ideas. Who could have thought that he would give such a magical voice box as a gift to someone.

"Little girl, are you the Four Swords of Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum, the maidservants beside Xi'er?"

"That's right, little maid!"

Emperor Tang nodded, obviously knowing the details of these four maids.

A twenty-year-old martial artist of the eighth rank is rare even in Chang'an City, not to mention that they are four maids, who will surely become nine-rank masters in the future.

More importantly, the four maids are in tune with each other's minds, and when the time comes, their combined skills will be far better than those of four ninth-rank grandmasters!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh that Li Shouxi's destiny was fulfilled!

Cao Shaoqing, Yuwen Chengdu, and Wang Meng were all unknown before, they were just the general manager, commander, and accountant of the Grand Prince's Mansion; the fourth maid was an orphan from a noble family rescued by Li Shouxi, her family background was clean; the black soil in Liaodong had not been discovered for thousands of years... If it were not for the destiny, how could they have repeatedly escaped danger?

···

"The tribute rice from Liaodong costs only three ounces of silver per pound!"

"The essence of the giant Kun, all night long!"

"Liaodong pearls, only ten taels of silver each!"

The popularity of Liaodong's specialty caused paper to become extremely expensive in Luoyang and its price soared.

Liaodong rice, in particular, was directly labeled as tribute rice, but was soon warned by the government.

Liaodong tribute rice is the Wuchang rice of later generations. It is the top-grade rice that the Buyeo tribe paid tribute to the Prince of Yan this year. It is completely different from the Liaodong rice on the market, which is why the government warned them.

The slightly ambiguous advertising slogan of spermaceti oil, which was clearly burning fat, suddenly became India's magic oil. After hearing this, Li Shouxi couldn't help but sigh at the other party's talent.

But many people believed it, and as a result, the oil that was originally used for lighting became a high-quality product for many powerful people in Beijing!

Of course, this is something!

As time passed, Prince Yan's Mansion was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and it was very lively.

Because of Li Shouxi's proposal, except for the Nanzhao Kingdom, the other two envoys are meaningless!

The Nanzhao Kingdom, which had originally been in a favorable position, was no longer a threat.

After all, even if she married in grand style in Chang'an City, she still couldn't become the principal wife without a legitimate son. This was the Achilles' heel of Nanzhao.

Who said that the bloodline of Nuwa's descendants must be female?

After the imperial court and the three diplomatic missions were unified, under the arrangement of the royal family, the wedding of Li Shouxi and Zhao Linger was slowly approaching.

Most people thought that Zhao Linger was the queen of the palace.

After all, this was a grand wedding in Chang'an, and the noble ladies from the other two countries had not yet arrived. Even if they did, they could only go directly to Yandi, and there was no honor for the emperor to preside over the wedding.

But those who really knew the truth understood that it was impossible for a noble lady from Nanzhao to become a princess, and this wedding was just a formality.

The descendants of Nuwa are destined to have their bloodline be the descendants of Nuwa in the future.

This is also the reason why the envoys of the two countries did not come out to oppose. What they wanted was the position of the queen, not just a little bit of ceremony.

Chapter 58: Wedding at All Costs

The year of Jiachen, the month of Renshen and the hour of Renzi are auspicious and suitable for getting married!

In Chang'an city, big red lanterns were hung everywhere at this time, and the streets were lined with imperial guards who were rarely seen at other times. There were more than 100,000 people maintaining order in the city.

Each of these imperial guards wore gilded armor and held ceremonial swords, looking very imposing.

In the middle of the street was a large red carpet. Although it was just a rough carpet, it stretched from Prince Yan's Mansion to the Imperial Palace for more than a thousand feet and cost at least tens of thousands of taels!

Today is the wedding of King Yan, and it is also an auspicious day for the descendants of Nuwa to get married.

Therefore, it was another joyous day for the people of Chang'an. Especially since Li Shouxi was the king of Liaodong, the Liaodong specialties were popular during this period, and Li Shouxi's reputation was also rising. In the hearts of the people, he was regarded as a model of a wise king, capable of both civil and military affairs!

The originally barren land gradually became prosperous under the governance of Li Shouxi.

Even the black soil, known as the best farmland in the world, is enough to feed tens of millions of people and countless families in the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, in everyone's mind, the King of Liao is synonymous with wisdom.

"The auspicious time has come!"

Suddenly, there was a loud roar like thunder, followed by a deafening sound of firecrackers that echoed throughout the streets of Chang'an.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

At the same time, the bell and drum tower, which represents the royal majesty, also emitted heavy and loud bell sounds.

This is the alarm clock of Chang'an City!

Normally, the bell would not be fired more than once, except during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Double Ninth Festival and Spring Festival. But today, 108 bells were fired in succession. I'm afraid it was the same as the emperor's wedding or his death.

At this time, Li Shouxi rode a horse to Chang'an. The golden saddle bestowed by the emperor on the back of Hu Kui blinded countless people with its glittering golden light.

The ten thousand taels of gold bestowed by the emperor may not be real gold!

But this golden saddle is absolutely pure gold, and it is red gold. The red halo in the sunlight dazzles many people.

Behind the tiger and Kui is a large sedan chair with eight bearers, similar to a pavilion. It is made of red sandalwood and decorated with gold and jewels. The exquisite carving is not only a master's skill, but also the entire sedan chair from top to bottom has no less than tens of thousands of figures, depicting a picture of a hundred dramas in the world and a peaceful and prosperous world like a paradise.

The eight bearers of the sedan chair were eight martial artists of rank seven or above. They were able to lift the sedan chair which weighed more than ten thousand pounds, and it was as steady as a rock!

In addition, sitting at the four corners of the sedan are pretty girls wearing long skirts of red, white, green and yellow. They hold a flower basket in one hand and in the other hand seem to throw endless petals of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, which complement the names of the four girls.

The four girls not only looked identical, but were also extremely pretty, attracting a lot of attention.

On both sides of the sedan were two graceful and charming white figures with stunning faces and voluptuous and attractive figures. One of them was as otherworldly as a fairy, while the other was full of charm, which immediately attracted countless covetous eyes.

One is the Saint Aunt who accompanied Zhao Linger to her wedding, and the other is the Snow Moon Sword Fairy Li Hanyi who is like her best friend.

Two ninth-rank masters served as bridesmaids. People from aristocratic families who knew their identities all sighed that they were worthy of being bridesmaids for a royal lady.

"Congratulations brother!"

Outside the palace, the three princes dressed in dragon robes stood proudly, and behind them were several children under the age of ten, who were the younger princesses and princes.

"Ok!"

Li Shouxi nodded, and several little princes also ran towards the Wangong sedan chair as if they had received permission.

This scene also made Li Shouxi helpless!
