I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

Chapter 176 Announcing the day of marriage

Li Yaoyue's pretty face was cold, her hair was disheveled, like a sculpture, she was reclined on the bed, as if she didn't care about it.

Fang Xiu was silent for a moment, and said: "At this moment, I feel the same for your imperial brother."

Li Yaoyue looked at him.

Fang Xiu smiled and said: "If there is a younger sister like you, I would like her to marry sooner."

Li Yaoyue showed a look of disdain, and looked away.

Fang Xiu looked at her and said, "If you had come to the Xiangguo Mansion back then, lowered your profile, and met the truth with your real body, the truth would have thought about letting you become the empress of Zhou Kingdom."

Li Yaoyue squinted at him, and said coldly: "It's useless to talk too much, either kill Ben Gong or release Ben Gong."

Fang Xiu didn't reply, just looked at her expressionlessly, and rubbed his fingers unconsciously.

this moment.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly dropped to freezing point.

Li Yaoyue could feel that Fang Xiu was considering whether to kill her, turned his head, and looked at him, without flinching in his cold eyes.

Time passed minute by minute.

Fang Xiu looked at her, and suddenly smiled: "You are not like a sparrow that cannot be domesticated as you really thought, but more like a rebellious eagle, unwilling to be easily subdued."

Unspoken.

If you really want to die, you shouldn't behave like this at this moment.

Li Yaoyue understood what he meant, there was a hint of anger in her eyes, and she quickly regained her composure, and said calmly, "You should kill Ben Gong."

"Okay."

The corner of Fang Xiu's mouth curled up into a smile, and he said leisurely, "We'll talk about it when the truth gets tired of your body."

As she said that, she stretched out her hand to pinch her delicate and pale face, stood up and said, "After all, she is a daughter-in-law who spent a dowry to marry home, so you have to let the truth have a good time."

Li Yaoyue's phoenix eyes showed resentment, Fang Xiu was already hating him to the bone, and he gritted his silver teeth, as if he wanted to swallow him alive.

Fang Xiu was very familiar with this look.

When going to court for the first time, the little empress looked at him with this look.

However, compared to the little empress, Li Yaoyue is obviously much stronger, at least there are no tears in the corners of her eyes.

That's why.

She is not as lovable as the little empress.

"It's still possible to live."

"When you die, you lose everything."

"Engrave hatred in the bottom of your heart, maybe you can persist until the day when you turn around."

Fang Xiu stood up, looked down at her condescendingly, his tone was flat as if chatting.

Li Yaoyue's eyes flickered for a moment, and she fell into silence.

"Think about it carefully, whether you want to live or die, and give me the answer to the truth in half a month."

Speaking of which.

Fang Xiu stopped staying and turned to leave.

When he walked to the door, he suddenly thought of something, stopped, turned his head to look at Li Yaoyue, and said calmly:
"If you're a couple, if you're going to die, you'll be honored."

After speaking, he stepped out of the house.

Only the pale Li Yaoyue was left on the sickbed, lost in thought.

…………

Zhou Guo, Jinnan Prefecture.

Royal Palace.

In the Qianqing Palace.

Zhou Huang sat on the dragon chair, looking at the mountain of memorials, his expression was extremely gloomy.

He doesn't need to open it, he also knows that what is written on it must be something about the "Qing Emperor's side" in various places!
Just a few months.

One-third of the state capitals rebelled.

This is something he never thought of anyway.

"Since ancient times, countries have been implementing new policies. Although they have faced obstacles, they have never been in the current situation."

"Up to now, I can't tell whether I was wrong about the reform, or those rebellious officials and thieves were wrong."

aside.

When the eunuch heard Zhou Huang muttering to himself, panic appeared in his eyes, and he lowered his head subconsciously, as if he hadn't heard anything.

at this time.

There was a sound of steady footsteps outside the hall.

Immediately afterwards came Zhou Huang's extremely familiar voice.

"Chen Wei Dong asked to see His Majesty."

Emperor Zhou was silent for a moment, before he said: "Yes."

next second.

Wei Dongzheng came in front of Emperor Zhou, and bowed solemnly: "I see Your Majesty!"

Zhou Huang looked at him and asked, "What's the matter?"

Wei Dongzheng said: "Your Majesty, I have already finished raising the food, grass and salaries needed by the Huben Army. May I ask Your Majesty, when will the Huben Army go out to suppress the bandits?"

Zhou Huang frowned slightly: "When did I say that I would let the Huben army go out?"

Wei Dongzheng was slightly stunned, and said: "The rebels are still fighting on their own, and they are scattered. Now is the best time to go out..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Emperor Zhou:

"Who will defend the capital when the Huben army is on the march?"

Wei Dongzheng was silent for a moment, and said: "I think that the state capitals around the capital have no objections, so your Majesty need not worry too much."

Zhou Huang snorted coldly, and said: "If you can see in advance who has objections and who has no objections, the situation will not become like this."

Wei Dongzheng was silent again, and after a while he said: "There are still [-] imperial troops in the capital."

Emperor Zhou said disdainfully: "Those noble children may not even be able to hold a knife steadily, can I count on them?"

Wei Dongzheng hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial court is still in the ascendant. As long as we attack resolutely and conquer the rebels, we will be able to nip the threat in the bud. If we miss this opportunity and wait until next year's spring, the situation may not be the same."

Zhou Huang said lightly: "I have a different opinion from yours. When the spring begins, the people will be busy with farm work, so maybe the rebels will break down without attacking."

"His Majesty!"

Wei Dongzheng wanted to persuade him again.

Zhou Huang waved his hand: "I have made up my mind, so there is no need to say more."

Seeing this, Wei Dongzheng knew it would be useless to talk too much, so he sighed in his heart and fell silent.

Emperor Zhou glanced at him and asked, "What else is there?"

Wei Dongzheng said: "What's more, Qianguo sent envoys and sent a book of rites."

As he spoke, he took out the exquisitely decorated ceremony book from his bosom, and presented it with both hands.

After Zhou Huang took it from the eunuch, he looked at it from top to bottom.

After a while, a smile appeared between his brows.

"It seems that Qianguo attaches great importance to this marriage."

"In order to get married as soon as possible, not only stayed Yaoyue in Chang'an, but also gave a generous gift."

"On this list, there are hundreds of colored glazes worth thousands of taels, and there are also all kinds of rare treasures, countless of which are all in pairs."

When Wei Dongzheng heard this, he was silent for a moment, and said: "I always feel that something is not right."

Emperor Zhou looked up at him, and said calmly, "What do you mean?"

Wei Dongzheng said: "According to what I know, the Qian State suddenly changed its law not long ago, abolished the forbidden army, and added a Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to command the soldiers and horses of the world. The first Metropolitan Governor is the princess's fiancé, the prime minister Fang Xiu...

In addition, Emperor Qian also named him a grand master, so that it was equivalent to the military and political affairs of the Qian Kingdom belonging to one person.

Such an extremely human minister has already threatened the status of Emperor Qian, but Emperor Qian has no worries at all. This shows that Emperor Qian trusts Prime Minister Qian very much and is willing to entrust his troops and horses to his command...

But for no reason, why did Emperor Qian do this all of a sudden?Just give up military power because of the abolishment of armaments?

The minister thinks that this is not in line with common sense.

After thinking about it, Emperor Qian must have plans recently, but I don't know whether the target is my Great Zhou or the State of Wu. "

Zhou Huang's eyes showed disdain:

"You mean that the Chinese still want to invade my Great Zhou?"

Wei Dongzheng said: "If it weren't for this, I don't understand what is the point of the Emperor Qian and the Prime Minister of the Qian Kingdom gathering military power."

Emperor Zhou said disdainfully: "All I know is that those mobs in Qianguo are totally vulnerable!
No matter how turbulent the imperial court is, they will never dare to covet my Da Zhou's land! "

Wei Dongzheng was noncommittal and fell silent.

Emperor Zhou glanced at him, waved his hand and said:

"Don't worry about the sky, the sky won't fall with the tiger army around!"

"I understand."

Wei Dongzheng bowed his hands in salute.

Emperor Zhou looked at the book of ceremonies in his hand, thought for a while, and ordered: "Write the matter of the marriage between the eldest princess and the prime minister of Qian Kingdom into an article, publish it in the weekly magazine, and announce it to the world!"

Wei Dongzheng saluted and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

…………

Promoted by various newspapers.

The marriage between Princess Zhou Guochang and Prime Minister Qian quickly spread throughout Zhou and Qian.

In the eyes of the people of Zhou State.

Her Royal Highness the Princess marrying the prime minister of a weak country is a marriage, and the prime minister should be grateful.

same.

In the eyes of the common people of the country.

The eldest princess of the Zhou Kingdom was able to marry the Prime Minister, which was a blessing she had cultivated in eight lifetimes.

No matter what the people think.

The day of getting married has finally come.

from a few days ago.

Xiangguo Mansion began to decorate with lanterns and festoons.

There are big red lanterns hanging everywhere.

The gates and windows of the mansion are all posted with the word "囍".

All kinds of melon and fruit snacks are placed where people can touch it, so that people who come and go can take it.

this day.

The sun has not yet risen.

The servants of the Xiangguo Mansion began to get busy.

The tablets, candles, tables and chairs used in the worship ceremony were checked over and over again.

In the huge mansion, the ground was cleaned over and over again.

The atmosphere was peaceful yet somewhat tense.

In the courtyard where Li Yaoyue was imprisoned.

Li Yaoyue, who was wearing a long black dress, had a cold face, standing upright in the darkness, like a sculpture, motionless.

There was a sound of footsteps.

After a while.

Fang Xiu in a bright red dress appeared in front of her.

"Have you made up your mind?"

Fang Xiu looked at her with neither joy nor sorrow, and said slowly, "I'm going to die... or I'm going to live."

Li Yaoyue's cold eyes looked forward, and the long black hair hanging down her slender waist was gently swaying in the wind, as if she was in the mood at the moment.

Fang Xiu looked at her, with a smile on his face, and said slowly: "Taoer will take you out of the city later, and then come back in a sedan chair..."

Speaking of this, Fang Xiu wanted to say: Don't think about running away, you can't run away.

After thinking about it, I felt that it was not necessary.

Just said:
"I will meet you at the door then."

Li Yaoyue looked at Fang Xiu with almond eyes, as cold as frost.

Fang Xiu looked at him without showing emotion.

Time passed by minute by minute.

I do not know how long it has been.

A timid voice came from outside the yard.

"Master, can the servants come in?"

Fang Xiu looked away and said "Hmm".

next second.

Several little maids came in from outside the house.

Tao'er, who was walking in the front, held a long red dress, glanced at Fang Xiu, then quickly lowered her head, and said softly, "Master, the servants are going to change clothes for Madam."

Fang Xiu nodded, turned and left the yard without saying anything.

Li Yaoyue's cold eyes glanced at his back, rarely revealing complicated emotions.

In just a second, the cool color returned.

Tao'er held a fiery red dress, stood in front of Li Yaoyue, and said softly, "Madam, it's time to change."

Before, she was not married after all, so it didn't matter to call her Your Highness the Eldest Princess.

Now she is about to bridal with the master.

As a servant of the family, it is natural to change her name to Madam.

A gust of cold wind came.

The branches in the garden swayed slightly and made noises.

Li Yaoyue heard the word "madame", and thought of something, her eyes were in a daze.

There was a long silence.

Without saying a word, he turned and walked towards the house.

Seeing this, the little maids looked at each other and hurriedly followed.

the other side.

The Hall of Mental Cultivation in the Imperial Palace.

The little empress sat on the dragon chair, propped her little head with her hands, stared blankly ahead, her expression seemed a little dazed.

a while.

She finally made up her mind, pouted her lips, and muttered to herself: "It's just a fake wedding ceremony, why bother to take it to heart, just take Li Yaoyue as a rehearsal, lest that traitor be in a hurry when he gets married with me , to do something unethical."

Wu Mingkong thought about this, looked at Lin Wan'er, and ordered: "Get ready, I'm going to Xiangguo Mansion."

Lin Wan'er obviously expected it long ago, and asked without panic, "Your Majesty, for today's private visit in a micro-clothes, are you wearing men's clothes or women's clothes?"

Wu Mingkong was slightly taken aback, obviously not thinking about this question.

I wanted to say, of course, men's clothing.

But on second thought.

Since she came to the throne, she seems to have never worn a woman's long skirt like before.

When in the palace, it is natural to wear a dragon robe.

Although the female officer has made some changes to the dragon robe to make it more suitable for women, it is too loose to show the charm of women.

During private visits in micro-services, for the convenience of movement, they all wear men's clothing.

It's been a long time.

She was about to forget what she looked like in women's clothing.

Thinking of this.

Wu Mingkong opened his red lips lightly, and said slowly:
"Women's clothing."
