On the second day of the first lunar month of the first year of Yongchang, the auspicious day of the zodiac, everything is appropriate, and Princess Taiping married Wu Youji.

Because both of them are widowed and remarried, the marriage should not be extravagant, even so, the Wannian County Pavilion where the wedding was held, the scene was still very luxurious, because the winter days were short, the sky was dark at dusk, and the torches were lit all over the way, the fire was raging, and even the trees on the side of the road were scorched.

Several horse-drawn carriages blocked the road, so that several surrounding markets could not pass, and the wall of the county hall had to be demolished to evacuate the traffic.

The Li family is a noble, a powerful figure in the martial arts, and a hundred civil and military officials, almost all of them are there.

Quan Ce is Wu Youji's concubine, following the man's relatives and friends, first going to the county hall to arrange, and greeting guests in front of the door.

There are a large number of young generations in the martial family, and there are many unmarried people, not to mention the most powerful Wu Chenghei and Wu Sansi, who are Wu Youji's own brother Wu Youning, and there are also adult children, he did not invite, but invited Quan Ce to be a concubine, the guests are all prominent in the imperial court, and they know that the two of them are incompatible, and they are business partners, and they don't care, and their minds are complicated, maybe they think of today's marriage, the Li family's martial arts marriage, the two families become one, Wu Youji invites the Li family to be a junior, which not only responds to the scene, but also looks calm, It's a perfect fit.

Only Quan Ce, who was standing beside Wu Youji, knew that this was a silent resistance, and Empress Wu made an order to force Wu Youji to remarry when the dead woman's bones were still cold, and hurt him so painfully that he wanted to represent the Wu family, and he preferred to find a good friend of the Li family as a concubine, in addition, he also made a special trip to ask Wu Youxu, a brother in the next room who was more tranquil than him, to make a tribute, and never let the ambitious Wu Chenghei and others show up at the wedding.

The intensity of the resistance was low, and he couldn't do more.

The groom and the bridegroom were in a bad mood, barely squeezing out a dry ugly smile, ushering in the send-off, Quan Ce also remembered an episode, through his sister Princess Taiping remarried, Li Xian, the king of Luling who was far away in Luzhou, wrote a letter to ask to return to Beijing to congratulate, but was sternly rejected by the Empress Wu, and Li Xian became seriously ill.

The princes and grandfathers of the Li family are not very close to Quan Ce, but what he does, it is difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, maintain each other's face-to-face articles, and respond to the story, but the princesses and county lords, ignoring the outside fights, have a good impression of him, tease a few words, pull a few handfuls, and the seniors are higher, and they have to pinch their faces and praise a few words for being handsome, which is like a toy.

When Princess Gao'an came, she happened to see that Quan Ce was embarrassed by several elder princesses, so she hurriedly stepped forward to relieve the siege, and protected Quan Ce in her arms, like an old hen guarding her cubs, complaining to the sisters and aunts next to her.

"Yo, Gao An, look at your painful appearance, I don't know, I think the big man of the Quan family is your child" The princesses have a lot of sharp teeth.

"Hmph, what is the difference between my in-laws' nephew and my child" Gao An is also a cool character, and immediately replied, "I have seen him grow up since I was a child, but I don't allow you to bully him"

"Hey, you don't see the outside, the next room is separated, I can't tell when, the threshold will be broken, and the self-inflicted sentimentality" followed by cool words.

Princess Gao'an raised her eyebrows and was about to speak, but she heard a majestic scolding, "The surname in the next room? The next room is not a blood relative? How about you and I have a separate house and surname, and I will take away your title as a princess? ”

"Nephew Youji, meet the Queen of Heaven, meet Your Majesty" Wu Youji headed, everyone was messy and roll-called, kneeling on the ground, but it was the Empress Wu and Emperor Ruizong's Luan Jia arrived together, because the venue was cramped, the guard of honor was simple, and there was no great movement, so that there was no preparation inside and outside, and the dispute in front of the door was exposed in front of the Empress Wu.

"Tonight is too peaceful, I don't care about you, get out" Empress Wu's expression was cold, and she directly ordered the expulsion.

The princess trembled, and when she heard this disposition, she knocked her head twice, and ran away in embarrassment.

Empress Wu snorted coldly, turned around, and looked at Princess Gao'an, she knelt on the ground, still holding Quan Ce's hand, like holding a drooping child, with a smile on her face, "You are Gao'an?" ”

"It's Erchen, Erchen knocks to see the queen mother" Gao An kowtowed.

"Hehe, get up, you all get up" Empress Wu chuckled, "Gao An, don't bully your nephew anymore, he is half the protagonist today, Yiyang is not here, you are the only sister of Taiping, don't be a concubine because of Quan Ce, just help him and spare Youji"

"Erchen didn't dare" Gao An was a little more relaxed, and took the opportunity to fight for Quan Ce, "Da Lang is still young, Mengwu Shilang is wrong to love, and he is a concubine, I'm afraid that I don't understand these things and make a mistake"

"You, if you protect him like this, when will he grow up?" Empress Wu slanted a glance at Princess Gao'an's side, the same power as a good baby, couldn't help but feel disgusted, and a trace of tenderness passed in her heart, such wholehearted love is very rare in the emperor's family, "Gao'an went in with me"

Ruizong was on the side of Empress Wu, and when he heard the words, Princess Gao'an was in front, Princess Gao'an naturally didn't dare, Ruizong smiled bitterly, "Sister, don't embarrass me" Counting, Ruizong is the youngest of all the children of Emperor Gaozong except Princess Taiping.

Princess Gao'an had no choice but to sue again and again, keeping up with the footsteps of Empress Wu.

The matter outside the county pavilion spread all over the world at a very fast speed, and everyone was talking about it, Quan Ce and Wu Youji glanced at each other, and they thought differently.

Quan Ce knew that Empress Wu wanted to create an atmosphere of great reconciliation, eliminate noise, and clear the obstacles to ascending the throne, not only the Li family, but even the daughter and grandson of Concubine Xiao Shu.

The hour was almost the same, Wu Youji and his party entered the cross-courtyard where Princess Taiping was, and greeted the newlyweds to go out, Princess Gao'an and the royal relatives of the Li family were not too embarrassed, and the trick of beating the groom was not even used, and the topic of chanting poems was just a regular routine.

Coming to the door of Princess Taiping, the door of the boudoir was closed, and the people standing outside the door were Shangguan Wan'er and Xie Yaohuan, and the two female officials of the Empress Wu were guarded.

"The princess has three questions, and the horse must respond with poems and sentences, and each question is limited to one stick of incense" Shangguan Wan'er announced crisply, and Xie Yaohuan took out the beast head incense burner.

"The first question is, what does the colt think is the best relationship between men and women?" Shangguan Wan'er announced the topic and waited with a smile.

Wu Youji's face showed a look of fascination, and then his heart ached, he immediately lowered his head, avoided everyone's sight, and waved his hand in a dumb voice, "Youji is not talented, there is a concubine to answer on his behalf"

Quan Ce was slightly stunned, and Huiyi stepped forward and blocked in front of him, before he could speak, Shangguan Wan'er came again, "The princess commanded, it's okay for the prime minister to answer, but you can't be perfunctory."

"There are no colorful phoenix wings, and the heart is a little clear" In order to save the scene, Quan Ce put his face out of the way and immediately replied.

Shangguan Wan'er's eyes were bright, and the audience was in an uproar for a while, Cui Rong jumped to his feet and asked, "Dare to ask the prime minister, can there be a full poem?" ”

Quan Ce shrugged his shoulders evilly, "The princess said it, and the good sentence is okay"

The crowd sighed.

Shangguan Wan'er was in a good mood, she was finally able to get it from Quan Ce, turned back to the boudoir, and came out again after a while, with a spring breeze on her face, "Congratulations to the horse, the first question passed, the second question, the horse sent his wife to return in the wind, can the horse feel something?" ”

As soon as this question came out, Wu Youji's face turned pale.
