Qu Ning returned to the Shoukang Palace where she was staying almost exhausted.

Although the royal family was already in an embarrassing situation at this time, there were still nearly 500 eunuchs and more than 100 palace maids in the palace.

Qu Ning, as the only princess born by the emperor's mother, according to the specifications, there are also two palace maids Suqin and Baoqin, as well as an old mother Fuchun waiting for her life.

Baoqin is two years older than Suqin, she has traveled to several palaces, and only came to serve Qu Ning when she was ten years old.

It's Suqin, who has always been a more lively character. It was getting late at this time, and Mama Fuchun was old, so she went to rest early, only Suqin and Baoqin waited for her to return to the palace with the lamp.

Seeing Qu Ning's tired face and unable to see his angry face, Su Qin, who was usually more lively, stepped forward and spoke: "Your Highness, you ......"

Before the words fell, she was interrupted by Baoqin in a hurry, she stepped forward and bowed down and said, "Your Highness, are you tired today?" The slave and maid have prepared bath water early in the morning, do you want to take a bath and change clothes first, and loosen up? ”

It's a good idea.

Qu Ning glanced at her and nodded, "Hmm." ”

The three of them entered the misty bathing room, slowly immersed their bodies in warm water, and Qu Ning gradually relaxed.

In the quiet sound of water, Qu Ning, who was gradually relaxed, suddenly spoke: "Suqin, this palace knows what you want to ask. The palace agreed to the marriage today, and the wedding date is set for the thirteenth of the next month. ”

Su Qin exclaimed in a low voice, and the scoop in her hand fell into the bucket with a "click", splashing two splashes.

Although Bao Qin tried her best to calm down, the hand that was originally wiping her back was also slightly paused, and after a moment, she slowly moved again in disguise.

It's all like this.

As soon as Su Qin came back to her senses, she shook her hands to grab the scoop, but her hands kept trembling, and she grabbed it several times before she grabbed it.

Qu Ning sighed lowly.

Su Qin froze, her voice trembling with an obvious cry: "Isn't Bixia the most hurtful for you?" Marriage...... How can Bixia respond to such a marriage! Isn't this a living push of your Highness, into the fire pit? Your Highness, why don't you go and beg the Queen Mother? No, no, why don't you beg the old lady? ”

Sure enough, it was a mess.

Qu Ning's eyes slowly fell on Su Qin's body, her voice was still steady, with a kind of calming liliang: "Su Qin, you have no jokes, my marriage with Tang Shaoshuai is now a certainty." Others don't regard my brother as an emperor and don't take his words seriously, because they have their own ambitions and calculations. But if I, as a younger sister, were like this, I would have failed all these years of his love for me and the royal family's upbringing of me. But you and Baoqin are not like me. My wedding with Tang Shaoshuai will be a 'free marriage', and there will be no need for many people to marry. I have been accompanied by you and Baoqin for many years, but since the Tang family is a fire pit, we don't have to jump into it together, before I go out, I will go and ask my brother to release the two of you from the palace. ”

As soon as she said this, Suqin and Baoqin immediately knelt on the ground with a "poof". Su Qin cried: "Your Highness, don't say that, the slave has been waiting for you since she entered the palace." To put it mildly, the slave is never willing to leave you, and you are so close to the slave and maid like a relative. The slave is anxious and worried, but not for the slave herself, but for you! A person like you who is golden and noble, but you want to marry a bandit leader like Tang Shaoshuai, the slave is really ......" Su Qin choked up and couldn't continue.

Qu Ning was listening quietly, but when Su Qin said the word 'bandit leader', she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Bandit leader, haha, bandit leader......" Qu Ning shook her head while laughing, and pointed to the pile of newspapers that she sometimes read while soaking in the bathroom on the side of the bathroom, "You bring the top one." This palace will give you a good analysis and analysis. ”

Su Qin was stunned: What is there to analyze about that pile of paper? It's just that every time the princess receives that newspaper, she reads it with relish.

However, Baoqin moved quickly, and he had already taken the top one silently, glanced at it and handed it to Qu Ning.

Qu Ning glanced at her with a smile and nodded, in the middle of the first version, there was a black and white man's head.

She pointed to the photo and smiled, "Have you ever seen such a handsome bandit leader?" ”

In the line of words on the side of the photo, there are eight words, which describe the appearance of this Tang Shaoshuai: the posture of the dragon and the phoenix, the watch of the sky.

What a spirit! What sunshine!

Su Qin and Bao Qin were illiterate, and when they looked at the dense past, their eyes instantly focused on the photo, although it was only black and white.

The man in the photo is carrying a gun at his waist, his hand is pressed on the gun, the corners of his mouth are pursed, his eyebrows are slightly raised, and the whole person is murderous - but Rao is like this, and he still can't hide his handsome appearance, and the heroic spirit that seems to be coming out of the paper.

Su Qin whispered: "This ...... This is Young Marshal Tang? ”

"That's the bandit leader." Qu Ning shrugged his shoulders.

The Tang family started with a bit of a mythical "uprising". Tang Dashuai's ancestors were just civil ministers, but his family fell halfway, and now Tang Dashuai was just a squire with surplus food before the uprising. And Tang Shaoshuai, before returning to China, was just an unknown foreign student.

It had been ten years since the uprising that broke out and eventually brought about changes in the country.

Young Marshal Tang was only eighteen years old at that time, and he had just returned from the United States * School, and he had no experience, but he had already taken charge of the army alone, and began his military career of winning the battle on the battlefield.

Compared with the Tang Marshal who responded in the center, which can be regarded as "a good fighter has no outstanding merits", Tang Shaoshuai's military exploits are much more prominent, such as 28 days to fight more than 2,000 miles, during which he successively conquered Yueyang, Wuhan, Wuchang, Jinling and other big cities.

And for such a legendary young hero to stand opposite the imperial court, it is really no wonder that whenever the imperial court mentions Tang Shaoshuai, they all call him "bandit leader".

The difference between a bandit leader and a young hero is just a standpoint.

Of course, admitting that he has repeatedly lost in the hands of a young and handsome young man, it is better to admit that he lost to a big devil with three heads and six arms, green fangs, and murder like a numb heart...... Tang Great Demon King, Tang Great Bandit Leader.

Seeing Su Qin and Bao Qin's stunned and incredulous looks, Qu Ning spread his hands: "But don't look at his handsome appearance, your previous worries are also correct." She paused, sighed, clicked on the photo, and analyzed it carefully, "Look at this man, his lips are thin and fleshless, I'm afraid he is indifferent." The eyebrows are thick and long enough, but the distance between the eyebrows is slightly shorter. Look at his eyes again, tsk, this is a typical peach blossom eye, "I'm afraid that this Tang Shaoshuai himself knows it, so he pretends to be an iceberg with a straight face all day long, and he doesn't want to smile a little, "With such a face, I'm afraid he is not a good person to get along with." ”

This big ups and downs, first suppressed and then rose and then fell, but Suqin and Baoqin looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

The energy that I was holding back before was discharged, and now I listened to Her Royal Highness the Princess's analysis, as if it was ...... Isn't it so bad for His Highness to marry him? At least, it's not as scary as they thought, is it?

Su Qin couldn't help but pout: "Your Highness, you have said so much, and the slave and maid are all over and over again, but the slave and maid just don't understand, do you want to marry or don't want to marry?" ”

That's to the point. Qu Ning smiled but did not answer, but there were waves in his heart.

Indeed, the focus has never been on how good or bad this Tang Shaoshuai is.

For her, the real point is only whether she wants to marry him or not.

All the analysis is just rational and objective, but in terms of perceptual subjectivity, Qu Ning couldn't help but ask herself, do you want to marry such a man? Is she sure that she can overcome many obstacles and live a good life in the future? Is there that hope that I can slowly run in and live a life that is sweet in honey?

After all, now she can only see thousands of mountains and twilight snow, and there are many chasms and barriers between the two.

The times are difficult, how much can the weight of feelings be?

A thousand words only turned into a sigh: "No matter what, I'm about to marry him." ”

yes, I'm going to marry you, Tang Zhong.

***

Although the wedding is in accordance with the man's side - mainly Tang Shaoshuai's meaning, he is ready to follow the style of a civilized wedding, that is, a Western-style wedding.

But according to the meaning of the royal family, the three books and six rites still cannot be saved.

The ancient ceremony, on the one hand, is the façade of the royal family, and on the other hand, it is also for the treatment of the woman after she enters.

But when it came time to prepare the dowry, there were branches.

And the situation Qu Ning is facing may be - she may not have a dime of dowry, and she will not be able to carry out the dowry!

Because everything in this palace has been unilaterally decided by the National Assembly and listed as "owned by the people", their royal family will only have the right to use it from now on, and have no right to dispose of it!

The dowry prepared for her by the emperor and empress a long time ago, not to mention the priceless jewelry and those antiques that are enough to be heirlooms, all of them are sealed with large strips, and other clothes, fabrics and furniture that are actually not of high value are also included in the "national ownership".
