Chapter 393: Marriage Revisited
Seeing the demon sitting in front of the mirror, Tang Ning immediately thought that the little brute girl had escaped, and after carefully identifying it, he found that it was her who was sitting in front of the mirror, but her face was smeared red and white by herself, which almost made Tang Ning knock over the bowl.
It was only later that he realized that she was putting on makeup, which in Downing's opinion was completely unnecessary.
In fact, if she cleans up, she can be regarded as a little beauty, there is no need to apply any rouge gouache, and she grew up drinking goat's milk, her skin is fairer and more delicate than that of ordinary Han women.
Seeing Tang Ning come in, she immediately asked, "Is my painting beautiful?" ”
Downing digressed from the topic and said, "Let's eat." ”
Wan Yanyan's crooked eyebrows wrinkled, and asked, "Isn't my painting beautiful?" ”
"Lord Tang, the princess asked me to ask you......" Zijuan walked in from outside, and when she saw Yan Yan, she was so frightened that she took a few steps back and screamed: "There are ghosts!" ”
Zijuan was so frightened that she ran away from the door, Wan Yan Yan took a basin of hot water, and rubbed her face vigorously with a towel, eager to rub her face off.
After washing it up, she didn't talk about makeup and focused on the bowl of assorted chicken soup casserole.
No foodie could refuse the temptation of a casserole, and after eating three bowls in a row, she lay on the bed and refused to move, and put out all the jewelry in a small box, with a happy expression on her face.
Being a princess to her level is actually quite miserable.
Although the various tribes of the grassland are strong in combat, almost every tribe has to worry about their livelihood, and in terms of wealth, it is natural that they cannot be compared with Chen and Chu.
Zhao Mangui is a princess, since she was a child, she has nothing to eat, she has never lacked clothes and jewelry, so that she has no concept of frugality, Wan Yan is different, although she is a princess, but she has been poor since she was a child, Zhao Man's old clothes and old jewelry can make her regard it as a treasure.
After getting along all the way, Tang Ning has long understood her character, the little brute girl is a little brute, regardless of her position, it is difficult to have any bad feelings for her.
After he finished eating, he remembered something, walked to the room, took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve, poured out a pill to Tang Shui, and said, "This is the Great Returning Pill, you eat it, it is good for your body." ”
This was given to him by Doctor Sun, a healing and detoxifying elixir, and he used two pills before, and this is the last one.
Tang Shui took the pill, put it back in the porcelain bottle, and said: "This is a life-saving thing, I ate it too wasteful, you put it away, and use it again at the critical moment." ”
Tang Ning originally insisted that she eat it now, but Tang Shui couldn't bear Tang Shui's repeated refusal, so he had to put it away.
Tang Shui looked at him and asked, "When are you going to leave?" ”
Tang Ning thought for a moment and said, "Wait a little longer. ”
The death of the emperor is a major event in the sky, and it will take at least half a month from condolences to burial, and during this time, they cannot leave.
In addition, after today, the news of Emperor Chu's death will continue to spread to other state capitals, and King Xin will succeed to the throne, whether the name is justified or not, I don't know what kind of turmoil the situation will have, just in case, or wait and see.
In the blink of an eye, it was ten days.
The auspicious day for the burial of Emperor Chu has also been determined, just ten days later.
In the past ten days, Tang Shui's body has almost recuperated, he can run, jump and fight, Tang Ning fought with her once when she was practicing, and insisted until ten moves before lying on the ground and calling her cousin.
He has studied with many people, and most of them are women, among the women he knows, the most powerful should be Su Mei, she has a lot of strange tricks, she is not her opponent without hands or feet, and the second most powerful is Li Tianlan, Tang Shui may be slightly weaker than her, and then Tang Fairy, even so, she still abuses herself.
Because of this, Tang Ning has always had a good impression of Wan Yanyan.
Wan Yan Yan really likes Han things, since Tang Ning forced her to take a shower and change her clothes and comb her hair last time, she has always been dressed as a Han person, and when Tang Ning brought her food today, she actually found that she practiced thrush on a steamed bun.
A few days ago, Wan Yanyan borrowed a hundred taels of silver from him, went to the street to buy many things, such as fabrics, rouge, trinkets, etc., and promised to pay him back twice in the future.
Tang Ning relieved her to go out with the silver alone, and Wan Yanyan did not live up to his trust, even if no one was watching around, she did not run away.
Zhao Man's little rabbit was finally dead, and she didn't let it run that morning, and when a few hours later, a guard retrieved it from the grass by the lake, its rabbit life was over.
It was very hot at noon these days, the rabbit should have suffered from heat stroke when he ran out, and he was not rescued in time, Zhao Man buried her rabbit with tears, and Tang Ning had to take back the spices used for the barbecue.
Within a month of the emperor's death, the slaughter of livestock was forbidden, and rabbit meat could not be bought, so they had to wait until later.
Since that day, Tang Ning has not seen Li Tianlan, the royal family of Chu is in the fiefdom, after receiving the news of the emperor's death, she rushed to Kyoto one by one, although she is a princess, but she is also the only royal child in Beijing, there should be a lot of things to be busy.
I can't leave for the time being, and it's quite boring to stay here all day, Tang Ning decided to make a deck of cards to play, and just found a suitable piece of hard paper, Chen Zhou knocked on the door and walked in, and said, "My lord, someone is in the palace." ”
He led a eunuch in, and the eunuch walked up to Tang Ning, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty has summoned your country's marriage envoy. ”
His Majesty is King Xin, although King Xin has not officially succeeded to the throne, but there is only one enthronement ceremony left, Li Tianlan and Princess Xin have moved to the palace, Princess Xin has been promoted to queen, and the county lord of Changning has also become Princess Changning.
If Yan Yan is counted, he already has three princess friends.
King Xin hasn't looked for him these days, I don't know what happened this time, Tang Ning, He Rui and Lu Teng entered the palace and were led by the eunuch to a palace.
After a eunuch at the door went in to make a report, he quickly came out again and said, "Three please." ”
Tang Ning walked into the hall and saw King Xin sitting on the throne, and there were a few people standing in the hall, Tang Ning only knew one, that is, standing at the front, who had received their Ministry of Rites.
Whether it is King Xin or many officials in the palace, they are all dressed in plain clothes, since the date of burial, in addition to the ceremony of the new emperor's enthronement, whether it is a civil and military official or the king of Xin, who is about to become the emperor of Chu, they must keep filial piety for three months.
Tang Ning walked to the hall, bowed his hand, and said, "I have seen Your Majesty." ”
King Shin looked down and said, "No courtesy." ”
He looked at Tang Ning and said, "I summoned you to the palace today for the marriage of Princess Pingyang. ”
"When the first emperor was there, in order to stabilize the diplomatic relations between the two countries, the marriage of the prince and Princess Pingyang was decided, and now the first emperor died, the prince was abolished, this marriage should be abolished, I don't know if the Chen delegation can have objections?"
Tang Ning arched his hand and said, "There is no objection. ”
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu pondered for a moment, suddenly stepped forward, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the marriage of Chen Chu is a major event that is beneficial to diplomatic relations, although the prince was abolished, but among the children of the royal family, there are still young talents of the right age, it is better to repair the country, and order the messenger to send it to the Chen country quickly, choose a royal child, and then discuss the marriage......
As he spoke, his tone suddenly paused, and he turned his head to look, always feeling that Chen Guo's wedding envoy's gaze was not quite right, and he was very uncomfortable to look at.
He shook his head, put this strange feeling aside, and continued: "The minister thinks that because of the abolition of the crown prince, the #%*%¥#@...... of Chen and Chu will not be affected."
An official next to the Ministry of Rites Shangshu only heard a pop, turned his head in surprise, looked at the Ministry of Rites Shangshu who was paralyzed on the ground, his eyes rolled up, and his mouth was foaming at the mouth, and he was shocked: "Lord Zhang, what is wrong with you...... Lord Zhang?"
