On September 1 of the fourth year of the Great Song Jingkang, the wind and the sun were beautiful. Outside the Donghua Gate of the Imperial City of Tokyo in the Great Song Dynasty, there were crowds of people, many people in Tokyo City gathered here, everyone stretched their necks, and competed to witness this grand occasion, the beloved daughter of the Emperor, Princess Roufu Zhao Duofu was going to get married.

Under the crowd of thousands of heads, Huang Zhen, a scholar of the Imperial Palace, and the only son of Huang Qianshan, the governor of Zhaozhou, was dressed in red and black boots, wearing saffron, wearing a horned head, full of spring breeze, riding proudly on a good horse, surrounded by a group of subordinates, slowly coming from Gaotou Street.

In recent years, the Jin people have repeatedly moved south, and the local state capital has been repeatedly destroyed, and the city of Tokyo has also been besieged twice. The fight was raging outside, but the people in Tokyo were used to this bloody day. Most of the emperor's relatives and important ministers in the court were drunk and dreamed of death, and they had to get by, but the people at dawn had to endure hardships and enjoy themselves.

Catching up with the excitement of the princess's marriage, how could the small people in the market not rush to it, and they all wanted to have a sneak peek.

Huang Zhen dismounted outside the Donghua Gate, was led into the color shed by the ceremonial officer, sat down inside, and waited for the princess to come out. The color shed has been set up the day before, facing the gate of Donghua, if the princess comes out, you can see it at a glance.

"Huang Duwei, congratulations, congratulations. In the future, he was an official in the same dynasty, and asked Huang Duwei to take more care. ”

Shangshu's right servant and Zhongshu waiter Tang Ke congratulated on the side.

"Thank you Tang Xiang, the lower officials dare to be presumptuous in front of the prime minister. In the future, the same hall will be a minister, and in this Tokyo city, please ask the minister for more guidance. ”

Huang Zhen's face was full of smiles, and he didn't dare to slack off. He is a five-grade horse captain, how can he be compared with the Xianggong of the Senzheng Hall.

As the husband of Zhao Duofu, the princess of Roufu, Huang Zhen, who was worshiped as the captain of the horse, in addition to the jade belt, gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin, and silver saddle given by the royal family, there is also a three-entry house in Desheng Bridge, which is used as the residence and accommodation place for him and the princess.

The sound of the music sounded, and everyone waiting was in high spirits, and they all straightened up, and Huang Zhen also stood up from his seat, his face becoming serious.

Under the intimidation of the forbidden army and the officials, the onlookers held their breath and looked towards the gate of Donghua.

The first to come out was a group of dozens of forbidden soldiers, holding sweeping utensils and gold-plated and silver-plated buckets, sweeping along the road. These people are the Tianwu Army under the jurisdiction of the front division of the palace, wearing purple shirts and curly feet.

It's called a "waterway", and it's really just a way to make a show and clean the streets. In fact, the streets have already been cleaned.

Not long after the cleaning procession, a group of palace maids on horseback burst out. The palace maids are all twenty-eight beautiful, with outstanding appearances, gorgeous clothes, Luo yarn wrapping their heads, and even the hairpins are decorated with pearls. The palace maids were dressed in red and gold-rimmed Luo yarn, and each of them had a small blue umbrella in their hands, smiling like flowers, which stunned everyone.

The onlookers were wide-eyed, and the idiots inside were even more hungry, with greed in their eyes. Everyone was amazed in their hearts, it was really a royal style, graceful and luxurious, extraordinary.

This group of palace maids is called the "stirrup" and is used to lead the way.

The palace ladies passed, and finally, a carriage slowly drove out. Everyone couldn't take their eyes off it, this was the royal special "tired of Zhai car".

Four crimson horses marched side by side, wearing bronze masks on their faces, colorful feathers on their heads, and ribbon knots and chest bells on their chests.

The carriage was red all around, and the eaves on it were five feet high, eight feet long, and four feet wide, and could accommodate six people. There are beaded curtains hanging around it, and there are colorful embroideries on it, and the windows are decorated with white rattan. In addition to the eaves, there are balustrades, all carved with golden flowers, and woodcarved fairy figures.

As for the back of the carriage, there were twelve forbidden soldiers carrying the eaves, that is, the palanquin that the princess usually sits.

The red yarn before and after the eaves, the skeleton is golden, the beam frame is vermilion, and the patterns of auspicious clouds, phoenixes, flowers and other patterns around the body are exquisite. There are also goldfish hooks with green silk stripes on the front and back of the rod, which are used to hook the eaves.

Finally, there is a group of forbidden soldiers with soft wings and heads, dressed in scarlet clothes, carrying various boxes and walking in a row.

Seeing the princess's car coming, Tang Ke hurriedly stepped forward, came to the side of the carriage, and said loudly to the window: "Princess, please get out of the car, the horse is already waiting."

Zhao Duofu was in a state of confusion, and followed the guide into the banquet. After Huang Zhen and the princess finished the goose salute, the ceremonial officer saw that the groom's guard and car were ready, beckoned, Princess Roufu boarded the chariot, Huang Zhen got on the horse in front, and the big team of people and horses, mighty and mighty, the drums sounded in unison, and went towards the princess's residence on the victory bridge.

When the people saw the princess come out, they let out earth-shattering cheers. Everyone saw the royal majesty and wealth, and they were all happy and happy.

Zhao Duofu sat in the car, and through the light veil, he could vaguely see the crowd of people outside, cheering and shouting. At this moment, her heart has also quieted down. was born in the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty, and he had to end such a fate arrangement.

From the date of the Taishi Bureau's selection of "personal welcome", to her farewell to the family temple, what to say, and how to walk, she was all obedient and completely in accordance with everyone's arrangement.

Ever since she learned of that man's misfortune, her heart had died. It's just that she calmly accepted her fate. She is a royal person, and she can't let people gossip about the Zhao Song royal family.

However, she also has her own principles, her own bottom line. Anyone who wants to trespass, she will defend it to the death.

Perhaps the only consolation is that she has finally moved out of the palace, the center of the whirlpool that seems to be calm, but in fact it is turbulent and gloomy.

……

Sitting in the room, hearing the sound of frolic, singing and laughing outside, Zhao Duofu was sad, his eyes were slightly red, and his heart was at a loss.

"Princess, how did you remove the hijab yourself?"

Tassel came in with a plate of food, saw the red hijab on Zhao Duofu's head thrown on the ground, sat on the stool and was stunned, quickly put down the plate and picked up the hijab on the ground.

"Tassel, you are so daring. Toss me the hijab aside!"

Seeing that the maid wanted to cover her with a hijab, Zhao Duofu stared at a pair of eyes, and his gaze was cold.

"Princess, why do you bother, if this is seen by outsiders, you must not laugh at us. Wang Xianggong is dead, you can forget him!"

Tassel was helpless, so he could only persuade him bitterly.

"You haven't eaten or drunk for a day, how can you go on like this? I asked someone to get some food, so you can eat some first. ”

Tassel put the meal on the table, filled a bowl of hot porridge, and put it in front of Zhao Duofu.

"I don't want to eat it, you can eat a little bit yourself."

Zhao Duofu raised his head, wiped the tears from the corners of his face, and shook his head gently.

"Princess, since you are already married, don't think about it. followed the horse Qinse and Ming, gave birth to a son and a half daughter, and life went on. ”

Tassel said quietly: "Wang Xianggong has been away for more than two years, and how many things have happened in the past two years. You just said that those people outside the city, since the Jin soldiers went south, many families have disappeared, their wives have been separated, and they have died of hunger and disease everywhere. Compared to them, we are lucky enough. ”

"You can think about it."

Zhao Duofu shook his head and said: "On the wall of Bianjing City that day, I saw Wang Song for the first time, and he was still fighting with thieves in the midst of the army, and I fell in love with him at a glance. Since then, no one has been able to take his place. Not before, and not now!"

"But what do you do at night, you always have to have a round house with the colt."

Tassel opened his eyes wide, staring at Zhao Duofu, as if he saw a monster.

"Tassel, I have already said that I was born as Wang Song's person, and died as Wang Song's ghost. My body can only be given to Wang Song, and no one else can think about it!"

Zhao Duofu's eyes were firm. At the mention of Wang Song, she couldn't bear it anymore, two lines of tears fell, and she lay on the table and cried loudly.

"Princess, be quiet, don't let anyone outside hear you!"

Tassel stomped his feet urgently, and his own tears couldn't help but flow.

"Princess, the prince died in battle, and I feel very uncomfortable. But people always have to live, how are you like now, when the horses come in, how should you clean them up? Do you really want to live in a separate room with him at night?"

The maid's heart, like that of her master, is also sad and cannot be suppressed. She originally fantasized about marrying the princess together, and the princess was the main room, as long as she could serve Wang Song, she would be satisfied.

Who knew that now that people are dead, the lights are out, everything has come to naught, not only does the princess have no home, but she is also panicked, not knowing what her future holds.

After all, she is fifteen years old and has reached the age of marriage.

The master and servant were crying sadly, and the door was pushed open with a "squeak", and Huang Zhen, whose face was flushed with alcohol, walked in gently.

Seeing that Zhao Duofu didn't sit on the edge of the bed and didn't put on a hijab, Huang Zhen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and stood in place in a daze.

"Sit, donkey, I'll pour you a cup of tea and sober up."

Tassel hurriedly stood up and went over to pour tea, but his eyes kept glancing at Zhao Duofu.

"Huang Zhen, between you and me, from today onwards, we will live in separate rooms. Whether you agree or not, I'm just letting you know. Do you hear me?"

Zhao Duofu's face was calm, and the words in his mouth were extremely clear.

Huang Zhen took the teacup and was about to drink it, but when he heard Zhao Duofu's words, his hand stopped in mid-air.

He looked at Zhao Duofu incredulously, and hesitated: "Princess, you mean that you and I only have the name of husband and wife, but not the reality of husband and wife." But so?"

The bride is a princess, so he naturally doesn't dare to drink more. Although his face was flushed, it was a natural reaction of the body.

Tassel looked at Zhao Duofu nervously, not knowing what kind of words to say from her mouth.

Zhao Duofu nodded and said solemnly:

"Huang Zhen, you're right. I'm not afraid to tell you that I was born as Wang Song's person, and I died as Wang Song's ghost. If you dare to touch my body......"

Zhao Duofu said, took out a dagger from his sleeve, stood up, and put it on his neck.

"If you dare to force me, I will be driven by this remnant and meet Wang Song in the underworld."

Seeing the dagger that was dangling, Huang Zhen's only little drunkenness was also frightened awake.

"Male... Lord, no... It must be so, it does not have to be so, I replied... You are!"

After Huang Ji finished speaking, he turned around, stuffed the teacup in his hand into the tassel, and hurriedly walked out of the room.

Zhao Duofu and Tassel looked at each other, Tassel sighed softly, and went over to close the door.

"Princess, why are you doing this?"

"Ask you what is the matter with tears, and remember your life in the sound of broken intestines......"

Zhao Duofu opened the box, took out a tablet from it, and gently placed it on the table.

"The Spirit Seat of the Husband Wang Song!"

Tassel was taken aback and stepped forward to persuade bitterly.

"Princess, if you do this, it will be equivalent to slapping the royal family in the face, and the people of the Yellow Mansion will also make irresponsible remarks. You'd better put it away!"

"I won't go out of this room, I won't let people in, no one in the world will notice."

Zhao Duofu said sadly: "From tomorrow onwards, I will only eat vegetarian dishes and pray for Wang Song, they will do what they want, and if they don't want me, I will starve to death here!"

Huang Zhen came out, looked at the closed door, and snorted fiercely.

"I thought I was marrying a fairy, but who knew that he was a crazy ghost!"
