Chapter 142: Marry You
In the Imperial Study.
Shangguan Wan'er stood aside with low eyebrows, and Wu Zetian's face was flushed with a strange smile.
"Wan'er, you actually discussed your grandfather's old affairs with the Xue brothers, this is really unexpected by this palace." Wu Zetian said, "Aren't you afraid that those words will reach the ears of His Majesty and punish you?" ”
Shangguan Wan'er was not surprised, she waved her hand and said, "Wan'er is just telling the truth. If these words really reached His Majesty's ears, and His Majesty really condemned him because of this, Wan'er would have nothing to say. ”
"So, you can trust the Xue brothers?"
Shangguan Wan'er replied: "Xue Yi is pure and honest, and Xue Shao is handsome among the people, and they must be trustworthy men. Moreover, Wan'er is a small female envoy, and there is nothing worthy of them to frame. ”
Wu Zetian nodded and said, "Wan'er, you did the right thing in this matter. It is indeed necessary for them to know the truth about some of the things that happened back then. If anyone told them these words, they might not believe them. But if it's from your mouth, there's no reason why they shouldn't believe it. But Wan'er, don't you really hate this palace? ”
Shangguan Wan'er knelt down on her knees, "Wan'er swears to the sky, and there is no lie." ”
"Okay, it doesn't have to be like this, this palace believes in you. Get up! ”
"Thank you for the Queen of God!"
"Actually, whether the people around me are loyal or not, this palace has always been very clear in his heart." Wu Zetian smiled slightly and said, "Over the years, there have been many enemies and enemies in this palace. How they want to look at this palace and even how to repay this palace, this palace has never taken it to heart, including that Fenyin Xue Yi. But Xue Shao is a man that Taiping likes, and he is a valuable talent in this palace. Then, if you can eliminate the Xue brothers' prejudices and prejudices against the palace, you will be a great achievement. Wan'er, from today onwards, you are no longer a female envoy without rank, but a six-rank Siyan, announcing all the orders of the palace. ”
Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly bowed and fell, "Minister, thank you for the queen mother's mother!" Minister, swear to serve the queen of heaven! ”
"No courtesy." Wu Zetian smiled and said, "Wan'er, when you entered the palace, the palace was pregnant with Liujia. Although you are the daughter of the enemy of this palace, this palace really feels kind when she sees you. Perhaps, it was because of a mother's feelings! At that time, Hongu was thinking, how nice it would be if Hongu could also give birth to a daughter like you. As a result, two months later, Hongu gave birth to Taiping. Wan'er, do you believe it? ”
"Faith!" Shangguan Wan'er said, "Queen of Heaven, there is no need to deceive Wan'er at all!" ”
Wu Zetian smiled slightly, "Wan'er, you are really smart and cute." It's a pity that this palace is not a man, otherwise, I would definitely marry you! ”
……
Xue Shao waited in the Wuyue Pavilion for a while, but Princess Taiping did not come, but Linlang ran over on a horse. Today, the two sisters each wore a fiery red hunting suit, and rode two snow-white horses, with a strong visual contrast, which was very eye-catching.
"Childe, please get on the horse, Her Royal Highness the princess is waiting in the Dragon Head Palace!" Linlang stepped forward and said.
Xue Shaohu wondered: "Why did you turn to the Dragon Head Hall again?" ”
"The slave doesn't know." The two sisters answered in unison, and the voices of the two men were like one person.
Xue Shao took the reins and looked at the two of them curiously, "The clothes are very beautiful." ”
The two sisters blushed at the same time, rarely showing a trace of shyness, "Thank you, Childe." ”
Xue Shao couldn't help but be a little funny, you two iceberg beauties will also be shy? In other words, what is the purpose of dressing such a red and glamorous horse and replacing it with a snow-white white horse?
According to the change of the five elements, the Sui Dynasty was Huode advocating red, and the Tang Dynasty was Tude advocating ochre yellow. Since the Tang Dynasty, "ochre yellow" has become a custom for the royal family, and the people are not allowed to use it without permission, and this custom has been passed down from generation to generation until the fall of the Qing Dynasty. At the same time, the Tang Dynasty also inherited the Sui Dynasty's love and admiration for "red", and people gave it a festive and auspicious meaning, which was mostly associated with marriage. This is our "China Red".
"Are you going to get married?" Xue Shao got on the horse and asked casually.
The two Linlang sisters rode in the same horse, and when they heard the words, they were stunned at the same time, and hurriedly said: "Back to the son, my two sisters are the princess's maids, and there is no reason to marry." ”
Xue Shao didn't ask much, and rode to the Dragon Head Palace. Not everyone in the forbidden city can ride a horse and gallop, that is, only a royal family like Princess Taiping dares.
When she arrived at the Dragon Head Palace, Princess Taiping actually greeted her in front of the palace in person, and when she saw Xue Shao coming, she greeted her with a smile, "Xue Lang, you are here!" ”
"Yo, what is the big joy today, so that His Highness is so full of spring breeze?" Xue Shao said with a smile.
"Of course I'm glad you're here!" Princess Taiping said with a smile, "Since we left your mansion that day, we haven't been together much." It's rare that you'll take the initiative to come to me, and you won't let me be happy? ”
Xue Shao smiled, raised his hand and pointed at Linlang, "Red clothes and white horses, what do you mean?" ”
Princess Taiping's face turned red quietly, "It's not interesting...... That, I called Zhao Bingcheng and asked him to show you the injury. ”
"I'm not that noble, I don't have anything to do at all." Xue Shao said, "I came to you for business. ”
"No! You vomited blood that day, and you had to let the Imperial Doctor show you! Princess Taiping said stubbornly and a little domineering, "If you don't allow the imperial doctor to show you injuries, I won't talk to you about business!" ”
"Well, then we'll see!" Xue Shao smiled helplessly, "You still learned to bargain with me?" ”
"Do you still need to learn?" Princess Taiping smiled proudly, "Come on, here!" ”
Naturally, Princess Taiping stretched out her hand and grabbed Xue Shao's arm, and the two walked into the palace next to each other and entered a room, where the old imperial doctor Zhao Bingcheng was waiting. Seeing Xue Shao, the old imperial doctor bowed his hands with a smile, "Xue Gongzi, we meet again!" ”
Xue Shao couldn't cry or laugh, "So, Imperial Doctor Zhao is looking forward to seeing me?" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Imperial Doctor Zhao hurriedly smiled, "The old man only hopes that Xue Gongzi will live a long and healthy life, and it is best not to see the old decay for the rest of his life." ”
Princess Taiping giggled on the side, "Don't chatter, hurry up and take a look at the injury!" ”
Xue Shao lay down and asked Zhao Bingcheng to take the pulse, and Princess Taiping sat quietly on the side, caring and gentle beyond words, quite a bit of a good wife and mother. Zhao Chuicheng tossed for a while, saying that Xue Gongzi's health was good and there was no major problem, and it was best to prescribe two pairs of gentle medicine to dissolve bruises and remove injuries.
Xue Shao didn't think so, but Princess Taiping was quite happy with a sigh of relief, so she rewarded Zhao Bingcheng with twenty silks.
Zhao Bingcheng thanked him and left happily, and Xue Shao now understood that the old man was so happy to see him.
Princess Taiping immediately asked someone to bring exquisite snacks and drinks, and asked the musicians and dancers to start playing music and dancing, and asked Xue Shao to accompany her to enjoy it.
The music is melodious, and there are more than ten beautiful people dancing, all of them young and beautiful. The dance costumes are elegant and light, and it is inevitable that the breasts are rippling and the legs are varied, and the real color is alive and fragrant.
Xue Shao admired it for a while and said with a smile: "That's good, the palace maiko is really not comparable to the people." ”
"Don't look like that!" Princess Taiping pursed her lips, "What do you have to tell me?" ”
"Something about the privacy of the royal family." Xue Shaodao.
Princess Taiping immediately raised her sleeves, "All stand down." ”
The maiko and musicians immediately withdrew.
Xue Shao sighed as if it was a pity, "I haven't seen enough yet!" ”
"Don't worry, there will be opportunities in the future. When I live outside the palace, these maiko musicians are all from my house! Princess Taiping said sneeringly.
Xue Shao's eyes lit up, "So many beautiful maiko, all of them are your people?" ”
"Hmph, look at your happy face, I know what you're thinking!" Princess Taiping said angrily, "Let me tell you the truth, all the most beautiful Maiko in the palace are here." You'll ...... later."
"How?" Xue Shao said with a smile.
"You're not allowed to go to a place like Pingkangfang again!" Princess Taiping glared at Xue Shao angrily.
Xue Shaoha's big smile dared to love these dancers, all of them were friends that Princess Taiping found for me!
"Don't laugh, hate!" Princess Taiping became more and more angry, "Didn't you say that there was something serious to talk about?" ”
Xue Shao smiled and said, "First of all, I want to thank Your Highness for helping me recruit Xue Chuyu." ”
"Doesn't that mean that there is no need to thank each other between the two of us?" Princess Taiping said with a smile.
Xue Shao nodded and said, "My eldest brother, I have already arrived in Beijing." ”
"Oh?" Princess Taiping came to her senses at once, "Then when does he plan to enter the palace to face the saint?" ”
Xue Shaoha laughed, very anxious!
"Don't laugh, say it!" Princess Taiping was a little ashamed.
Xue Shao said: "Before my eldest brother enters the palace to face the saint, there is a small matter that must be dealt with first. Otherwise, this marriage may not be negotiable. ”
"So big, or is it a small thing?" Princess Taiping's face suddenly became serious, "Tell me quickly, what is the matter?" ”
Xue Shao's tone was also a little serious, and he whispered: "Your Highness, do you know Concubine Xiao Shu?" ”
Princess Taiping was slightly stunned and nodded with a serious expression.
Xue Shao said: "It seems that I don't need to talk at length. In short, my sister-in-law was also born in the Lanling Xiao family. When my eldest brother was about to marry my sister-in-law, Concubine Xiao's clan had been demoted to the surname of Xiaoxiong. ”
"I see what you mean." Princess Taiping said seriously, "Are you afraid that my mother will be dissatisfied with your sister-in-law Xiao, which will affect the marriage of the two of us?" ”
Xue Shao nodded, "My parents died early, if it weren't for the careful care of my brother and sister-in-law, I would definitely not be alive today." Nine-fingered Xue Hou, do you know the way? ”
"Zhilu said, I heard my father mention it, and I was very moved at that time." Princess Taiping said, "Your eldest brother Xue Yi is so good to you, presumably your sister-in-law treats you well?" ”
"The eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother." Xue Shao said, "These eight words are appropriate to describe the two of them. ”
"Xue Lang, there is no need to say more, I know what to do." Princess Taiping said solemnly, "Filial piety to in-laws and harmony with concubines is a woman's virtue." ”
Xue Shao couldn't help laughing, "It seems that the "Book of Rites" has not been read in vain recently!" ”
"Of course!" Princess Taiping immediately became a little proud, and said with a smile, "Men don't say anything, women don't say anything, this kind of housework is wrapped up in me!" ”
Xue Shao breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of relief in his heart...... It seems that my training of Princess Taiping has not been in vain!
"Xue Lang, I'm so well-behaved, is there any reward?" Princess Taiping asked with a grin.
Xue Shao smiled, "Then, marry you." ”
"Ho!" Princess Taiping exclaimed, "You are so angry, marry me, but you rewarded me?" I'm ...... I'm a princess! ”
"Do you want to?" Xue Shao said with a smile.
"Humph......!" Princess Taiping widened her eyes and raised her eyebrows, "This palace, you have to think about it carefully!" ”.
