Li Shimin faked his death? Then I will be powerful enough to conquer the world!

In the Liangyi Hall, Li Chengqian sat upright on the precious armchair, raised his head slightly, and his eyes fell on Zhang Xianhuai in front of him.

After a brief pause, he said in a gentle tone: "Xian Huai, I have something I want to talk to you about."

He decided to put the matter of the tripod aside for the time being and focus on Zhang Xianhuai in front of him.

This child is devoted to his work, and it's time for me to worry about his lifelong affairs.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xianhuai immediately stepped forward, raised his hands respectfully, and responded without hesitation: "Your Majesty, if there is anything I can do, I will go through fire and water without hesitation. No matter what it is, I am willing to do anything!"

Zhang Xianhuai is always ready to accept His Majesty's orders.

Li Chengqian looked at Zhang Xianhuai's serious expression, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously lifted up, revealing a faint smile. He then gently waved his hand and said, "Xianhuai, don't be so serious."

"I'm not here to entrust you with state affairs. I want to talk to you about your personal matters."

"My personal business?"

Zhang Xianhuai was slightly startled, and his originally tense expression of preparing to accept the important task instantly turned into confusion. His thick eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, his eyes were full of confusion, and his tone was full of surprise.

I am completely focused on court affairs, so how can I talk about personal matters?

Li Chengqian seemed to see through his thoughts and slowly explained, "Your relatives are all in Xianyang. You know, according to our Xianyang customs, men and women cannot get married until they are eighteen years old."

"However, the rules in the Tang Dynasty are different from those in Xianyang."

"Look at me. I only got married at the age of 22, and I've already been talked about behind my back by everyone in the court, and I've been the subject of a lot of gossip."

"You're not a kid anymore, are you? I remember you're nineteen this year, right?"

Zhang Xianhuai nodded subconsciously and responded respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Xianhuai felt a little uneasy, wondering what His Majesty meant by mentioning age and marriage. Was he trying to arrange a marriage for him? But he had never considered this before.

Li Chengqian continued, "Someone has asked me for a marriage proposal. Just now, I have carefully considered it and feel that this match is indeed a good one. You are now of the age to get married and start a family."

"What a coincidence! I just thought of you when you came to the palace."

"Look, as the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the court has granted you a mansion, but if you had someone at home to take good care of you, you wouldn't have come to see me in such a disheveled and exhausted state today."

"At least I can go home and take care of my appearance from time to time.

"I understand that we, who came from Xianyang, have been influenced by the customs of our hometown since childhood and don't like to order servants around."

"But your status and position are different now. You are now the commander of my Imperial Guards, shouldering heavy responsibilities and constantly busy with court affairs. Without servants to help you at home, you must have a wife by your side to manage the household and take care of your daily life."

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Zhang Xianhuai bowed again, with a hint of uneasiness on his face, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, I am terrified. I don't know which woman is so kind to me that she would be so fond of me."

"I would like to ask Your Majesty to inform me personally that I would like to go and explain the situation to her, so as to avoid ruining her lifelong happiness because of me."

Zhang Xianhuai was very conflicted. On the one hand, he was surprised that a woman liked him, but on the other hand, he was worried that he could not make the other party happy. After all, his official job was full of danger and busyness.

Li Chengqian couldn't help laughing when he saw him like this, with a hint of teasing in his smile: "She's not a little girl anymore, you've seen her before."

"Have I seen it too?"

Zhang Xianhuai couldn't help but mutter to himself, his brows furrowed even tighter. His mind was like a tangled mess, rapidly filtering out information about all the people and things he had come into contact with in the past. But after thinking about it, it seemed that no clear female figure could appear before his eyes.

He raised his head somewhat awkwardly, forced a smile at Li Chengqian, and said, "Your Majesty, I really can't remember. I dare to ask Your Majesty to explain it clearly."

Zhang Xianhuai secretly blamed himself in his heart, wondering how he could be so confused that he had no impression of the woman he had met before. If he were to carry out a mission in the future, this would not do!

I have to remember this! I have to keep a record of the people and things around me in the future. I am the commander of the Jinyiwei and I can't be so careless.

Li Chengqian pointed at Zhang Xianhuai helplessly, his face full of disappointment. He said, "Your mind is only filled with court affairs."

"Last year, you went to respond to the Tubo issue on my behalf. Do you still remember Princess Wencheng?"

After hearing this, Zhang Xianhuai tried hard to recall the scene at that time. After a moment, a vague figure gradually emerged in his mind.

As for what the woman looked like, her face and expression, he really couldn't remember clearly.

After all, at that time he was preoccupied with how to deal with diplomatic affairs with Tubo, and had not paid any attention to the woman's appearance.

Zhang Xianhuai was filled with surprise. How could it be Princess Wencheng? He had only met her a few times, so how could she have fallen for him?

Li Chengqian looked at him like this, sighed softly, and said, "Here, go and see for yourself. I don't want to interfere too much in your marriage. Everything depends on your own wishes."

"If you agree to this marriage, please come back and tell me. I will immediately draft an imperial decree granting you the marriage."

"If you disagree, then you can take this memorial to the Jiangxia Palace and explain the matter to them."

As he spoke, Li Chengqian handed Li Daozon's memorial to Zhang Xianhuai.

"This is a memorial from Jiangxia King Li Daozong to me."

"Just take it. That's all I have to say. Everything is up to you."

Zhang Xianhuai slowly stretched out his hand and took Li Daozon's memorial.

He just felt his face was burning hot.

On weekdays, as the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he acted decisively and ruthlessly. Wherever he went, others were in awe of him. Some even walked backwards when they saw him from afar, for fear of provoking him.

But now, there is a woman who has taken a fancy to him and proposed to His Majesty through her father. This is such a special and unexpected thing, it is really the first time in his life.

He had never thought that in this world, there would be a young lady who could overcome her fear and awe of him and actively fall in love with him.

Zhang Xianhuai felt mixed emotions, confused about the unknown feelings, but also in awe of this special fate.

Li Chengqian quietly looked at Zhang Xianhuai's dull, bewildered appearance, shook his head helplessly, and said in a raised voice, "Xianhuai, why don't you leave quickly and go home to change clothes."

"Look at yourself now. You are not a child anymore. Stop being so childish."

"After changing your clothes, don't run away, go directly to the Jiangxia Palace."

"Remember, this isn't just a verbal order; it's my will for you alone! You must follow it!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Zhang Xianhuai quickly responded with a bow, and then slowly retreated.
