When Tang Shaoshuai looked at his bride with clear eyes, the woman had already lowered her eyes and lost her original complicated eyes, and the expression on her face returned to her usual meekness and softness, just like a lady in Tang Sancai.

In the morning light through the window, her silhouette looks extraordinarily round and soft, with a kind of delicate and moving style. But such a supple beauty is far less moving and real than when she cried last night.

Looking at the woman who was about to get up as if nothing had happened, Tang Zhong was in a mood, reached out and grabbed her waist, pulled her back to him, and put his head on her shoulder-intimate gesture, breathing close to each other, made the bride instantly straighten the muscles in her waist.

He didn't realize it, and said in a lazy voice: "Woke up so early? In a hurry to get out of bed? ”

"Isn't it time to serve tea to your aunts today? If you hadn't bothered me last night, I am afraid I should have gotten up earlier. She reached out to straighten the messy sideburns on her head, and bit her lip lightly and looked at him with some disgust. The petal-like lips are closed one by one, and the pink and glutinous lip color makes the already erect man in the early morning darken his eyes.

The heart of the palm is beating very chaotically. Although she was shy and timid, she was still a little afraid of him.

He leaned closer, and the burning breath hit her ear: "Can't you wait to meet our Tang family?" Didn't I see the important ones last night? The marriage that the Father himself has set for you and me must be towards you. It doesn't matter if anyone else is not. Or are you actually energetic and I've let you rest for too long? ”

"......" Qu Ning frowned invisibly.

Teasing, no, there should be a degree of flirting, right?

They were husband and wife, and they had done the most intimate things, but they knew almost nothing about each other—oh, except for the physical ones.

Before she married into the Tang family, in addition to seeing photos of this man in the newspaper and hearing the palace people mention the great military exploits of this "bandit leader", in fact, she knew almost nothing about the internal affairs of the Tang family. This is not only because she is trapped in the deep palace and has to guard the difference between men and women, but more because of political considerations.

Because although the emperor hoped that she would marry her, in fact, the emperor's self-righteous arrogance did not regard him as his real sister-in-law from beginning to end - this is also the reason why the emperor did not appear in person at either the Western or Chinese weddings. If you really value her happiness, how can you not hold her sister's hand and watch her be a happy bride?

It is precisely because this is just a use, not a real marriage, and it is not a good marriage between two surnames, and because the emperor does not regard him as a sister-in-law, he does not want them to be harmonious, and he does not want her to invest too much affection in this marriage, which may be destined to separate, so he wishes that she would not have a good life in the Tang family, so he will not give her any information. As a result, she only knows the appearance of Tang Shaoshuai, but she doesn't know the inside.

The emperor may want her to break the blood of her head in the Tang family, so that he can understand the deep gap between them, so that he can sell her to another family in the future, right?

But on the other hand, although I don't know that the man in front of me is weishenme who agreed to this marriage, it won't be because he likes her, right?

She still has this self-knowledge.

Seeing that her originally somewhat confused eyes gradually cleared, the man pursed his lips slightly, let go of the hand that was originally shackled to her waist, and gently and skillfully jumped out of bed, picked up the clothes by the bed and put them on, the movements were very fast, and there was a kind of military temperament of vigorous and resolute.

Unexpectedly, the man who was still laughing with her one second ago made a poker face the next second, and the breath on his body seemed to turn into an iceberg natural refrigerator in an instant, which made people feel that it was not good to be close to her, and Qu Ning was also stunned for a moment before reacting.

"Husband, let me wait for you to change your clothes, right?" She tentatively glanced at the man who was getting dressed, turned her head to look at the tense and undulating muscles on his body and asked softly, but hesitated not to really get up.

The reason why he opened this mouth is because since he returned to the room drunk last night, this person has not brought a servant and a maid with him - this is really rare in a big family, but it is a very normal thing for a soldier who has to fight for a long time.

And the two big palace maids she brought, he didn't want them to serve in the room, and there was no trouble for his aunt or the room to come to her today, it seems that although he was "skilled" last night, he didn't practice it on women. Vaguely, she still remembered that the two of them had a party last night, and after she was completely tired and paralyzed, although he asked for water to scrub the two of them, he didn't let the servants into the room, let alone let others touch their bodies. This man is unexpected in some ways...... It's pleasing.

At this time, seeing that he was dressing and taking care of the details of his own life, she asked tentatively.

"Sincerely." The man glanced at her and repeated lightly, "Call me to be cautious." ”

Don't you like to be called a husband?

He paused: "I didn't marry my wife and go home to serve me for these trivial things. What's more, Her Royal Highness the princess is golden and noble, and letting Her Royal Highness serve me is not a blessing for me? I have my own hands and feet, and I can still wear clothes alone. He reached out and threw the clothes on the shelf next to him to her, and raised his eyebrows, "Of course, if Your Highness has to do it, I can't stop your interest." But you'd better put on your own clothes first, and you'll be swaying in front of me early in the morning......"

Qu Ning's face was instantly red by what he said.

Except for the quilt she was holding, there was indeed no inch on her body, but wasn't that what the other party peeled off last night, and now he said it lightly, but it sounded as if she was seducing him early in the morning.

And when he called her His Highness, it made her feel an indescribable weirdness. Because of this title, there was really no sense of respect, and the whirling of his mouth was a little more funny - but looking at his face was cold, it really made people doubt their ears.

"Sincerely," she lowered her head and obediently picked up her clothes and put them on her body, and said softly, "Please also be careful not to call me Your Highness, I have a single name, just call my name on weekdays." ”

Seeing that she had already put on her clothes and was about to beckon the maid to come in to wash and dress up, knowing that women would inevitably dress up today, Tang Zhong said "um" lightly, and suddenly reminded her: "Usually when I am at home, there is no need to leave people in the room, I don't like strangers to be close." In addition, you are busy today, jewelry or something, bring less. Try to wear light clothes as much as possible. ”

"Lighter?" Qu Ning was stunned, she looked up at him in some surprise, "Do you have any other trips arranged today?" ”

Tang Zhong nodded with a sigh, he had already reached out and pushed the door open, the cool air outside was blowing in his face, and the maids were already standing at the door with a basin of water waiting to come in and serve her to freshen up.

It's just getting dark. He glanced back at his delicate bride, who was wearing makeup in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the morning light, with a breath-taking beauty. But it's not too early.

Tang Zhong just strode out of the door: "I'll go and practice a set of boxing first, you freshen up and stop when someone calls me to go with you." ”

***

Suqin and Baoqin came in with a basin.

The two of them waited for her to wash and dress, and when they were ready to pull her hair, Baoqin saw a red mark on the back of her neck.

The dense traces, with bruises and bruises, made the loyal maid slightly stunned - is this enthusiasm of Tang Shaoshuai, or does he not know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade? She was a little uneasy, shaking her hands and frowning: "Your Highness......"

As soon as she called, before she could speak, Qu Ning opened her mouth and corrected her title: "Now call me young lady." Since he is married to the Tang family, it is better to call him according to the customs. ”

"Yes, young lady." Although Bao Qin was a little uneasy, she quickly changed her words after listening to her meaning, "Are you okay today?" Do you want the slave to help you apply some medicine to remove bruises, and then pinch it for you? ”

Qu Ning glanced at the sky outside the window. Her lower body was still painfully sore, and the hot feeling of being stretched open by a huge object made her legs unable to clamp tightly. Although she couldn't see the traces behind herself, she must have been crazy last night, and it was scary to look at. Pinch it? Where is enough! What she wanted most was to get headlong into the bed and not get up!

But Young Marshal Tang had already specially reminded her that today's itinerary was full.

Her marriage to him was not just a marriage for a child, but a very important political event.

For this era, it may even be a major event that may affect the direction of the country or even the change of the political system.

And this grand drama began to kick off from the wedding, perhaps the white wedding dress he specially selected. Or earlier, it had already started from the time Tang Shaoshuai personally talked about the dowry for her. In this scene, they all appeared on the stage, each with its own role, and the audience was 40,000,000 people, the great powers of all countries -- and among them, there were their allies and their enemies.

Yesterday she was a bride, even at a Western-style wedding, she was veiled, so there was still some room to shirk the bystanders, but today, she is a bride, so she has to face the stormy waves that are coming.

Qu Ning sighed lightly: "No need, just pull up my hair, we don't have much time." ”

Baoqin skillfully pulled a moon bun for her, but when she was about to insert a hairpin on her head, Qu Ning only let her insert a simple one, which stopped her from preparing to dress her up magnificently and bejeweled. She even picked up a set of clothes that were comfortable at home, and abandoned the very complicated palace clothes - I don't know how long it will be today, if she dresses herself up as a moving Christmas tree, with her head full of pearls and greens, then when the time comes, it will be herself who suffers.

Baoqin seemed to be a little uneasy about her simplicity, Qu Ning glanced at her, but only smiled and didn't explain.

When you have to freshen up and get dressed, the sky is already bright. The entire Tang family's house seemed to wake up, the parts everywhere began to work, and people began to come and go, with human voices.

Qu Ning saw that he was already well-proportioned in the mirror, so he asked someone to call Tang Shaoshuai back, and the two held hands and went to the main hall.

***

Before I could reach the hall, the chaotic and noisy voices inside had already come out.

There was a female voice in the middle that was quite sharp: "Master, look at it, what does the newspaper say today?" Forget the classics, betray the country for glory, this kind of in-law, we can't recognize it! This day when the royal family marries a princess has to add blockage to people's hearts, it is really a dou who can't be supported! Now that I've been exposed to the newspapers, it's all over the city, and I don't want to be smashed with rotten eggs as soon as I go on the street! ”

"Third sister, look at what you are talking about," another woman's laughing voice came, obviously with a laughing voice, but there was a kind of yin taste, like a knife hidden in a smile, "The family matter is approved by our young marshal himself, you are an aunt, just keep your duty, those things outside, are all in charge of the masters, what we say is the elders, and if it is not good, it is the woman who serves the grandfathers, this in-law is not in-law, you can't climb it." ”

The sharp female voice suddenly seemed to be poignant: "Why is it none of my business?" She married into the Tang family, and in the eyes of outsiders, she is our Tang family wife, what is her brother doing! It doesn't matter if it's involved in me, it's involved in our master, our young marshal, what should I do! My sister died early, so no one cares? Princess, what a princess! I don't know how long I can be a princess! Before you enter the door, you wear filial piety, and curse who will die? Is it a curse for our handsome to die early! ”

"Auntie, don't say it." It's the voice of a weak young girl with a brittle birth.

Qu Ning's footsteps stopped outside the door, she glanced at Tang Shaoshuai, who was frowning slightly with a straight face, raised her eyebrows, and didn't say a word, but in the end she just shook her head and smiled lowly: It's really lively. These two aunts sang and harmonized, what a big scene.

Tang Zhong frowned slightly, kept his feet, pushed open the door that was originally just a cover, and as soon as he walked in, the excitement inside stopped abruptly, as if someone had pressed the pause button on the gramophone-the two women who were originally noisy immediately stood up straight, looking at their noses and noses, looking at their hearts, with an expression of "I was not the one who spoke".

The other men and women in the room looked over together, and in a strange silence, the one sitting at the top, dressed in a sauce color, was no different from the ordinary squire of this era, and the middle-aged man who was holding a dry tobacco bag in his hand and was squinting his eyes and swallowing the clouds and fog coughed, removed his hand, and looked at Tang Shaoshuai kindly and said: "I want to serve tea with your daughter-in-law?" Waving his hand to let his subordinates bring the prepared haode tea plate, he continued, "Kowtow to your mother's spiritual position first." "It's just what they heard, and they didn't say a word.

Qu Ning's gaze fell on the spiritual seat placed beside him.

The words of Tangmen Zou are particularly distinct. By the way, Tang Shaoshuai said that his mother died of illness in the year he returned to China. Now that the father-in-law is sitting next to the spiritual seat, then in other words, Tang Dashuai has not remarried?

Before she could think about it, Young Marshal Tang had already pulled her, and knelt down with the corner of her robe: "My son brought my daughter-in-law to meet my mother today." ”

The two of them knelt on the mat and kowtowed three times. At the end, Qu Ning took a teacup to give tea to her father-in-law, and received a bulging red envelope.

As for the other people, there is no need for her to kneel, just one by one, they are polite - fortunately, the Tang family seems to be quite simple, except for the sisters who are the same generation as Tang Shaoshuai, she does not have a serious mother-in-law on her head, as for Tang Dashuai's aunts, they are chattering, and at this time, in front of her, they are all polite, as if the people who have just said those sour words are not them.

After this circle, Qu Ning had a point in her heart: it seems that although there is a problem with the back house, as long as she is careful not to leave the side door, these people will not dare to come with a knife and a gun.

The attitude of those aunts and wives towards Tang Shaoshuai can now be summed up in only two words: fear.

The fear of the "elders" for the younger generations, regardless of asking, must be what good things Tang Shaoshuai has done.

It's really good to have a husband who can calm the scene, at least, what she wants to do in the future, she can get twice the result with half the effort.
