After dinner, Zhang Xiang returned to his east room.

This is the bedroom where he woke up, and it is also the bedroom where he has lived for most of the month.

According to what the little slave told him, the princess had told her to arrange it before she went to the capital.

The princess, on the other hand, lived in a smaller western room, and after she returned from the capital, all her things were moved there.

In other words, this princess does not plan to live with him after marrying him.

Sleep in separate rooms.

He also gave him the big master bedroom and the east room.

Although the little slave didn't understand why the princess did this.

But she firmly believes that the princess has the truth of a princess, maybe the princess is thinking about the body of the concubine!

Because the horse is rumored to be a weak and sick person, and he can't help but be a fool.

The princess was only separated from him for the time being.

After returning to the east room for a while, Zhang Xiang's mind has been making up the picture when he was waiting for the cave room.

The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, and the more I thought about it, the more nervous I became.

I have been single for more than 20 years in my last life, and now I feel that I am going to break, can I not be nervous?

And the other party is still a big beauty with golden branches and jade leaves.

This feeling is indescribable.

For the first time, Zhang Xiang felt that seconds were like years, and time passed too slowly.

One hour, that's two hours.

And now not even half an hour has passed.

Boredom, he had to do push-ups, sit-ups and other exercises in the room, trying to make his energy reach the peak of the full state.

Fortunately, through this period of exercise, this originally weak body has been trained by him to become a lot stronger, although it is still a little weak compared to normal people, but I believe that after a while, it will be no different from a normal person.

After a few sets of movements, Zhang Xiang was so tired that he was panting.

Having inherited this body for so long, he already knows this body well.

The original Zhang Mingheng was indeed sick, which was caused by qi deficiency and usually staying at home and not exercising.

Now that he has changed his soul, although the symptom of qi deficiency no longer exists, this body is still weak because he has not exercised regularly.

If it was him in his previous life, it would be easy to do a hundred push-ups in one go, but now that he has been exercising for so long, he still feels quite tired after doing more than a dozen push-ups and sit-ups.

After wiping his sweat and resting for a while, Zhang Xiang went out and found the little slave in the courtyard.

He sneakily called the little slave aside, and when he saw that there was no one around, he asked in a low voice: "Little slave, have you ever seen someone else's cave room?" ”

"Cave room?"

The little slave was stunned for a moment, and then his little face turned red, and he was a little embarrassed: "Why did the concubine ask the slave and maid this?" ”

"It's just curiosity."

Zhang Xiang hid and covered up: "Aren't I having amnesia!" I don't remember a lot of things. ”

After all, if you want to go to the cave room with the princess, Zhang Xiang has to figure out the process of this cave room!

The gift of the cave room is also the so-called Zhou Gong's ceremony, the ancient people attached great importance to this kind of etiquette, not as casual as modern times, if he didn't figure it out, what moths would be made when he was in the cave room with the princess, wouldn't it be exposed.

In this mansion, the one he knows best is the little slave, so he can only ask her.

It's just that the little slave, who is only fifteen years old, understands the process of a fart in the cave room, she shook her head: "I entered the palace at the age of 10 and served the princess in the palace for a year, and a year later, the princess became an adult at the age of 15, and the emperor gave the princess mansion, so I went into the princess's mansion with the princess for four years, and I haven't seen anyone else's cave house." ”

"Haven't you heard of that yet?" Zhang Xiang asked.

The little slave still shook his head: "After entering the palace, the palace ladies taught us all the etiquette in the palace, how could they tell us this." ”

"Oh! That's fine. ”

Zhang Xiang was a little disappointed and waved his hand: "You go get busy first!" ”

After the little slave left, Zhang Xiang saw that the time was almost up, so he walked leisurely towards the west room.

Although she didn't ask anything, if something went wrong at that time, she would say that she had lost her memory, and it was impossible for the princess to know that the current body was filled with another soul.

Soon, I came to the west room.

The place where the royal children dwelt is great.

Just a horse house, you have to walk for more than ten minutes from the east room to the west room.

When he arrived, Zhang Xiang found that there was no slave outside Princess Gaoping's door.

I thought to myself: This princess is still embarrassed! Evacuate all the people in advance.

With a smile in his heart, he stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Is it a colt?" Princess Gaoping's voice came out.

"It's me." Zhang Xiang hurriedly responded.

"Come in!"

Zhang Xiang pushed the door and walked in.

After closing the door, I turned around and saw Princess Gaoping sitting dignified on the bed behind the bead curtain.

Zhang Xiang was about to walk in, when Princess Gaoping's cold voice sounded: "Stop." ”

"Uhh

Princess Gao Ping said slowly: "Just stand there, you can hear each other, I have already evacuated everyone outside, no one knows what we are going to say next." ”

"Didn't the princess come to me as a gift for the cave room?" Zhang Xiang's brows furrowed.

"The gift of the cave room is a rhetoric, don't you think that I will really perform the gift of the cave room with you?" Princess Gao Ping's tone was still cold, with a slight sneer.

Zhang Xiang's blood-boiling heart suddenly cooled to the bottom: "What did the princess want to say when she came to me?" ”

"Sit down first!" Princess Gao Ping said slowly.

Zhang Xiang pulled a chair and sat down, facing her.

In the bead curtain, Princess Gaoping's incomparably beautiful face is still clearly visible.

But Zhang Xiang can't afford to think about it anymore.

Sure enough, it was impossible for this princess to marry him because she liked him.

The whole room fell into a moment of silence.

Princess Gao Ping took a light breath before she said, "Zhang Mingheng, do you know why I want to marry you?" ”

Zhang Xiang tried hard to find the memories he knew about Zhang Mingheng in his mind, and replied: "It's the emperor's royal marriage contract." ”

Princess Gaoping said lightly: "The marriage contract given by the emperor is not false, at that time your father was a heavy general in the court, guarding the north, resisting the Northern Liao, and was deeply valued by the emperor. But a year ago, your father Zhang Jian lost Liangzhou in the north, Liangzhou is the throat defense line of my Southern Chu and the north, once Liangzhou is lost, the iron cavalry of Northern Liao has already stepped into the boundary of my Southern Chu, in order to give an explanation to the whole world, your father voluntarily received his death to respect the world. His father didn't want him to die, and wanted to find a compromise to protect him, but he said that if he didn't die, it would be difficult for the Manchu civil and military to appease the resentment in his heart and lose his prestige. ”

"At the request of your father, my father, the emperor, ordered the Zhang family to be beheaded to appease the grievances of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of the world."

After Princess Gao Ping finished speaking, she sighed softly.

After Zhang Xiang heard this, he was greatly surprised.

In the memory he found, he originally thought it was ordered by the emperor, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

It seems that this Zhang Mingheng didn't know these facts at the beginning.

He knew that Princess Gaoping hadn't finished speaking, so he continued to listen.

Princess Gaoping continued: "I am telling you this to let you understand the truth of the matter, don't hold a grudge against the royal family, whether you are really stupid or fake, I didn't lie to you, this is the truth of the matter." Last year outside the Ziluan Palace, my mother and I saw your father kneel down and ask his father to give him the death penalty, and calm the hearts of the people in the world, after all, the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Liangzhou, when the Northern Liao Iron Cavalry stepped into Liangzhou, hundreds of thousands of people in the whole city were slaughtered, making the entire Southern Chu people panic, and someone must repay this debt! ”

After finishing speaking, the princess, who gave Zhang Xiang a cold impression, slowly closed her eyes, not knowing whether to mourn for the hundreds of thousands of people who died or for her father.

After a long time, she opened her eyes again: "In the matter of losing Liangzhou, although your father is at fault, compared with his merits, it is not enough to convict him of death, if he does not insist, his father will chill the heart of the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and he will not let him die." But at this point, I hope you can understand your father's good intentions and your father's last resort, and only by using his death can he be forgiven by the people of the world. ”

Zhang Xiang was more and more surprised when he heard this.

Was it so dangerous in ancient times?

Originally, this Zhang Mingheng was not Zhang Mingheng, and he was not his father anyway, so he didn't bother to care about how he died.

Maybe the former Zhang Mingheng will hold a grudge against the royal family who killed his father!

But not necessarily, a fool can know what hatred is?

Not only did he not care, but he was also very happy because he had a cheap princess wife.

This life can be carefree.

Originally, he didn't care about this matter, but after hearing Princess Gao Ping say this, he became interested.

He said lightly: "What about my mother?" And what about those in the Zhang family? Why should they be put to death? ”

"What your father is asking for is the crime of dereliction of duty and deception, which is a capital crime of beheading, how can the rest of the Zhang family escape?" Princess Gaoping said.

"Why?" Zhang Xiang was puzzled.

"Because he wants to protect the royal majesty, he said that he deceived his father's military intelligence, which led to the capture of Liangzhou by the Northern Liao, so that the royal majesty will not be affected, and all the sins will be placed on your father."

"Is he a fool?" Zhang Xiang couldn't help but say.

Princess Gaoping said: "My father said that he was a loyal minister, and he exchanged his death for the hearts of the people in the world and the royal majesty, and he was the most loyal minister in Southern Chu." ”

"So what? This is the treatment of loyal ministers? Zhang Xiang sneered, a little difficult to understand this logic.

Princess Gaoping's tone softened a lot, and even became a little gentle: "I know your feelings, but Zhang Mingheng, some things are just forced to happen, even if no one wants it to happen, it still happens, and since it has happened, it can only be exchanged for the smallest price." Your father begged his father to protect you and leave a bloodline for the Zhang family, and my father agreed, so he asked me to intercede for you in the name of the marriage contract, because according to the law, I am your unmarried wife, if you want to be executed, I will not escape death, I am the royal daughter, as long as I intercede for you, saying that you will not marry, many people will also understand in the face of affection, so as to save you. ”

"So, that's why you married me." Zhang Xiang sighed softly.

Princess Gaoping nodded: "Your father has preserved the royal majesty for my loyal minister of Nanchu, and if I marry you, it can be regarded as repaying the love of your Zhang family." ”

"Let the princess be wronged." Zhang Xiang suddenly laughed.

"Don't say this kind of thing again in the future, the name of you and my husband and wife has become a fact, just live a good life in Pingzhou in the future."

Princess Gao Ping said slowly: "Originally, these things were going to be told to you on the day of marriage, but you fainted that day, and I went to the capital the next day, so I can tell you the truth of the matter now." ”

"Thank you princess for telling me, otherwise I would be really upset." Zhang Xiang faked a sad look.

Princess Gao Ping continued: "Zhang Mingheng, I still have something to make clear to you, although we already have the name of husband and wife, but you also understand the reason for marrying you, I hope you can understand." I don't like you, I was very resistant to this marriage contract, for this matter, I also asked my mother to intercede with my father, hoping that my father could dissolve the marriage contract, but my father never agreed, until last year, when you had an accident with Zhang's family, I promised my father that he was willing to keep you and marry you for the sake of the royal family. ”

"So I hope that you can respect me in the future, respect me like a guest, and when I go out in the future, I will do my duty as a wife, respect and love each other, and be your virtuous helper. But at home, you are not allowed to cross the thunder pool for half a step without my permission. ”

Princess Gao Ping's tone was a little stern at the end.

Zhang Xiang nodded again and again: "Understand, understand, princess, please rest assured, I have written down everything you said to me, not missing a word." ”

Princess Gaoping then put her tone softly again: "Also, when I went to the capital, my father told me that there are many people who still resent you because of your father, although you are married to me and can no longer convict you, but some people just can't get used to seeing you still alive, which is also the reason why my father asked you and me to come to Pingzhou, I hope you can stay away from these rights and wrongs, and spend the second half of your life well." He asked me to tell you not to be too ostentatious in the future, and to attract the attention of these people. ”

"Who are these people that the princess is referring to?"

"I don't know, but your father lost Liangzhou back then, and there are indeed many people who hate him to the core, saying that he is a traitor to the country, and he is a minister of the court, the people of Liangzhou, the people of the market, and the children of the rivers and lakes!"

"Yes, I will definitely follow the princess's instructions in the future." Zhang Xiang nodded.

As a modern man, he understands the terrible nature of being stirred up public opinion.

In places where modern communication networks are so developed, there are many people who will be incited and bewitched, let alone in ancient times.

The ancient 'foolish people' never distinguished between right and wrong, and they believed what the people above said.

Some people say that his father is a traitor to the country, and many people will blindly think that it is.

hates Wu and Wu, and there must be a lot of people who hate him.

Princess Gao Ping said: "You don't have to listen to me, you are a colt, in this family, or you are in charge, I believe that after you understand these things, you will also be measured in your actions." ”

Zhang Xiang nodded, at this moment, he understood everything that should be understood, stood up and said, "Does the princess have anything else to say?" ”

Princess Gaoping shook her head: "Everything that should be said is over, and the time is not early, you go back and rest!" ”

Zhang Xiang turned around and was about to leave.

Princess Gaoping's voice sounded again: "By the way, I found that you are different from what I saw before I went to the capital. ”

"Is there a difference?" Zhang Xiang muttered in his heart.

No matter how smart this princess is, she can't know that Lao Tzu has crossed over, right?

Thinking of this, he quickly calmed down again.

Princess Gaoping said: "I have seen you twice since I was a child, the first time was when you were thirteen years old, I was only twelve years old that year, your father took you into the palace, and my father made a marriage contract with you and me, that time, you looked stupid, you only giggled when you saw me, I didn't want to deal with you at all." The second time was the day you got married more than half a month ago, you looked very weak that day, and after worshipping the church, you couldn't support it, so I asked someone to help you back to the room first, but you fainted halfway. ”

"This time..."

Princess Gaoping thought for a moment: "After I came back from the capital this time, I found that you were different from the first two times I saw, the feeling of stupidity is gone, and the person is also very energetic, and he doesn't look weak, as if he has changed a person, can you tell me, what happened?" ”

"The princess didn't like the marriage contract with me before, is it related to the rumors that I am a fool?" Zhang Xiang didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only ask her a rhetorical question.

Princess Gaoping also nodded honestly: "Yes, how can I marry a fool as a princess?" ”

"Did the princess see me then?" Zhang Xiang asked again.

"Not yet, it was I who asked to see you later, and my father let you enter the palace."

"That person has never seen it, why did the princess make up her mind so early?"

"But when I saw you when I was twelve, you were like that."

"Maybe I pretended to do it!"

"And what about the day we got married?"

"Did I pretend to do that too?"

"Are you really stupid or fake?"

"Does the princess think I'm stupid now?"

"You're not stupid, why are you pretending to be stupid?"

"Haha..."

Zhang Xiang laughed: "Just make a joke with the princess, liven up the atmosphere, I hope the princess doesn't mind, I was really stupid before, maybe I woke up because I fainted and lost some memories, so it's okay!" Otherwise, how could I not remember what was before! ”

"Amnesia? That's it? Princess Gao Ping obviously didn't believe it.

Zhang Xiangcai doesn't care if she believes it or not, if you don't believe it, you can guess!

He smiled and said, "Have you ever heard a sentence that when God closes a door for you, he also opens a window for you." ”

"Who is God?"

"A god, you don't know, God should have taken my memory, so he opened my IQ."

"What is IQ?"

"The meaning of the mind, I mean, maybe it's because I fainted and lost some memories, and when I woke up, my mind was opened at the same time.

After listening to Zhang Xiang's explanation, Princess Gaoping reluctantly accepted: "If this is the case, then you can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, I hope you can treat it kindly in the future." ”

"Princess, then I'll go, and you can rest early."

"I'll send the pony."

Princess Zhao Hanyan, who had been sitting upright, got up from the bed, lifted the bead curtain and walked out.
