Chapter 1145: Forced Marriage
In Shang Xiufang's room, there was a big round table, on the round table, there were two wooden plates, and there were a lot of snacks on the plates, which the women had never seen before, they had also come from children and eaten a lot of things, but these were really strange in front of them, everyone tried and marveled.
"This stuff is soft and fragrant, and it melts in your mouth at once, it's so delicious. ”
"This pastry has a fresh milk flavor, it's not fishy at all, I really don't know how to make it, you can taste it too, it's absolutely delicious." ”
Eating and talking, they can still restrain themselves, after all, they are not young, the concubine glanced at Shang Xiufang, and said: "Xiufang, congratulations, you have found your own home, as a sister, I can only bless you, I hope that King Xiaoyao can really treat you well and take care of you for the rest of your life." ”
Shang Xiufang pursed her lips, holding a sugar in her mouth, sweet to her heart, nodded and said: "Sister, don't worry, this is Xiufang's choice, no matter what the future holds, I can accept it, for us, there is only one life in life, it's good to love, someone like King Xiaoyao, I'm afraid I can't keep him." ”
This seems to be understood by everyone here.
Suddenly, Meng Linglong, who was a little silent on the side, said: "I overheard that the prince can take someone to leave Datang together, this sentence seems to be said to Wu Meiniang." ”
"Mei Niang?"
"Yes, the name Mei Niang was taken by the prince. ”
Wan Wan said: "Since this is the case, it means that the prince likes Mei Niang, but why didn't he let her sleep?"
Meng Linglong shook his head and said, "I don't know either. ”
Shang Xiufang saw that the atmosphere was a little depressing, and immediately smiled, like a hundred flowers blooming, and said: "Okay, don't think about it so much, we should cherish what is in front of us, at least now, I am the only Mrs. Shang in the palace, and that's enough." ”
There was a little worry in the eyes of the senior concubine, and she whispered: "Although Xiufang has not practiced martial arts, she is also a member of the martial arts world, and you have become the lady of the Xiaoyao Palace, I am afraid that our Tang Emperor is a little uneasy." ”
Wan Wan said: "We don't have any ideas, we are just tired and want to find a place to rely on, and there is no need for the Tang Emperor to be too nervous." ”
"You think so, but you don't seem to have noticed the prestige of King Xiaoyao in Datang, not to mention in Chang'an, the entire Datang, who doesn't know the immortal coming now, a few lessons of the prince have spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, and the people are excited, whatever the prince says, these people will be crazy about it. ”
When the women thought that this was the case, Song Yuzhi said: "No, does the emperor dare to do anything to the prince?"
The girls smiled lightly, and Shang Xiufang said: "No, the emperor is not stupid, he knows very well that the prince of our family has no desire to fight for hegemony, and he will not stay in Datang for long, so he will not do it, and he will not dare, after all, the strength of the prince, no one can leave him, if he is provoked, the consequences will be unimaginable, and he will only focus on appeasement." ”
"The royal appeasement, it is always said that it is a marriage, I am afraid that as soon as the news of Xiufang becoming a lady spreads, the emperor will give marriage, and people have sent the princess of Changle to the palace, the princess of this Xiaoyao Palace, of course, only she can do it, otherwise the emperor will not rest assured. ”
Listening to the women, I have to say that these women are really not simple, they are very smart, they can guess what is behind everything, but Shang Xiufang didn't care, and said: "I don't have to worry about these things, just leave everything to the prince to decide, what I have to do now is to wait for the prince well." ”
When everyone heard this, they all laughed, and Wan Wan said: "Sure enough, this woman who has a man will be different immediately." ”
Shang Xiufang said a little shyly: "There are many things, I won't either, I can only study hard, I hope the prince will not get tired of Xiufang." ”
"How come, Xiufang is so beautiful, as long as it is a man, you can't bear it, don't worry, Xiufang, you will definitely be happy." ”
At this moment, not only Shang Xiufang, but also several women gathered together had a happy vision for the future, and all of this was brought to them by Chu He.
In the afternoon, Li Shimin came with the queen.
"Brother Chu, is there something my sister-in-law wants to discuss with you?" Li Shimin drank tea, but it was Empress Eldest Sun who spoke.
Empress Changsun said gently: "Lizhi and Yan'er have been in the palace for a long time, and my sister-in-law thinks that I have to give them a name, otherwise the name will not be justified, of course, although Lizhi is a princess, but Brother Chu will not be a concubine, he is still a free king, and he will marry as a princess, what do you think?"
Chu He was stunned for a moment and said: "Sister-in-law, seriously, in fact, you should also know that I respect them like guests, and I have been in Datang for a month, but I don't know how long I can stay, not to mention the identity and so on, if I marry them, once I want to leave, won't it hurt them?"
Emperor Changsun had a meaningful look in his eyes, and said: "Didn't Brother Chu say that you can take people away, when the time comes, just take Changle and them away, although it may be rare to see each other in the future, but as long as Changle can be happy, as a mother, I will also bless her." ”
Chu He was a little silent, and said helplessly: "Sister-in-law, in fact, I am not a good match. ”
Empress Changsun said: "Maybe Brother Chu doesn't care, but Changle They have lived in the palace for so long, in the eyes of the world, they are already people in the palace, even if they are still pure as water, but their reputation has been lost, please also ask Brother Chu to fulfill them and give them a name, if you are not willing to take them away at that time, Your Majesty and I will not blame you." ”
Chu He said: "I think about it, this is not a trivial matter. ”
As he was talking, behind the screen, two figures rushed out, one on the left and one on the right, with the two touches of incense, two pairs of soft hands grabbed Chu He's arm, and it was Princess Changle and the eldest grandson Yan'er who were secretly hiding there.
"Brother Chu, don't think about it anymore, I'm willing to marry you. ”
"Me too, Yan'er is also willing to marry you, I just want to be the bride of Brother Chu. ”
"Brother Chu, how are you doing!"
In front of the emperor and the empress, being so coquettish by the princess, Chu He was a little embarrassed and a little embarrassed.
Chu He said: "Changle, Yan'er, do you know the consequences?"
Princess Changle said: "Changle knows, but Changle will not regret it, even if he is only married to Brother Chu for a month, this life is the most beautiful memory." ”
Chu He stretched out his hand, stroked Princess Changle's pink face, sighed and said: "Why is this necessary, you are the princess of Datang, you should be the happiest person in Datang, I, Brother Chu, may not be able to give you these." ”
"But when I meet Brother Chu, Changle has no choice in this life. ”
Chu He looked at Li Shimin and Empress Changsun and asked, "Your Majesty and Empress don't regret it either?"
Li Shimin looked at his most beloved daughter, and his mood was a little low, but before he came, he had already discussed with the emperor and reached an agreement, so he had to say: "Parents in the world, as long as Changle is willing, although I am the emperor, I will not hinder her happy choice, I just hope that Brother Chu can really treat her well, and Changle will be a good wife." ”
Empress Eldest Sun also said: "Although I am reluctant, as long as Changle can marry a good husband, it is enough, when the child grows up, he always has to leave his mother's arms, and I have no way to take care of her for the rest of my life, so I will hand it over to Brother Chu." ”
"Thank you, Father, thank you, Queen Mother. ”
Chu He said: "Arrange it, hold a wedding, it can be regarded as an explanation." ”
Li Shimin's face was moved, and he immediately responded: "Just do it, Brother Chu doesn't have to worry about this matter, let the queen handle it, it will definitely be lively, and he will not lose his identity as the king of care." ”
In fact, this is not what Chu He cares about, just to give Datang an explanation to these little women, or this is exactly what they need, it seems that Shang Xiufang became Mrs. Shang, which brought considerable pressure to Li Shimin.
When the two girls heard Chu He agree, they smiled, and their mood became happy, although the girl had such a day in her dreams, but being able to marry Brother Chu was the happiest thing for them.
Chu He said: "Changle, Yan'er, you take the queen to the house to discuss, I have something to say to Your Majesty." ”
The two girls helped the queen to leave, Chu He took out a list, handed it to Li Shimin, and said: "Your Majesty, let people bring these materials as soon as possible, I will send a gift to Your Majesty, which is considered a congratulatory gift. ”
Li Shimin became nervous all of a sudden, of course he knew that every thing Chu He took out was not ordinary, looking at the list, he knew most of these materials, but together, he was very unfamiliar.
summoned Li Junxian and asked him to do it quickly, and he also had to pay attention to secrecy, the items that can attack the city and seize the land are definitely the most important weapons of the country, and they can only be controlled by the emperor.
Before it was dark, several truckloads of materials had already been sent to the palace, and Wu Meiniang had specially set aside an area, which was far away from the residential area, and Li Junxian had sent additional people to take care of it, just waiting for Chu He to do it.
"Your Majesty will come back tomorrow, and when I make it, let's go to the field to test it together." ”
This night, Chu He stayed in Shang Xiufang's room, the pink fragrance was pleasant, charming and graceful, Shang Xiufang, who was the most old, revealed a most beautiful woman's state, bearing the warmth of love, the taste was really unstoppable.
The next day, the sky was bright, and Chu He got up, not for morning exercises, but for refining primordial gunpowder, yes, these materials are used to make gunpowder, and they are the most primitive, but for Datang, it is enough.
The first gunpowder was in the Song Dynasty after the Tang Dynasty, and no one paid too much attention to it, but now, Chu He let it appear in the Tang Dynasty, and will especially explain to Li Shimin that the importance of the application of this gunpowder, I believe that when they see the power, they will continue to improve their technology, and use the most basic gunpowder in future wars in the Tang Dynasty's foreign wars.
As long as you know the secret recipe and know the proportion of various materials, it is not too difficult to make it, Chu He simply made three ten-kilogram explosive packets, and waited for the arrival of the emperor.
And overnight, the marriage between King Xiaoyao and Princess Changle had spread outside, and with Chu He's nod, where did Li Shimin dare to slack off again, he immediately issued a holy decree, posted the emperor's list, and announced this matter to the world, and everyone in Chang'an City immediately knew about it.
Yes, if the princess marries someone else, it is a happy event, and the princess will marry after all, but the person who marries is the King of Ease, it is different, and the sensation caused is very unusual.
Chu He hasn't opened his mouth yet, and everyone in the palace has also gotten the news, which is surprising, in this era without media, it all depends on one mouth, and the news spreads extremely quickly.
is not only marrying a concubine, but also marrying two concubines together, a princess of Changle is a princess, an eldest grandson Yan'er is a side concubine, the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, the eldest grandson Wuji is the eldest brother of the queen, of course, there must be such benefits, and Changle and the eldest grandson Yan'er are two cousins, who will take care of each other in the future, and will occupy the main position in the Xiaoyao Palace, and they are not afraid of being bullied.
