Zhou Xuan is a modern person who thinks, it doesn't matter if she is pregnant before marriage, but for the people of the Tang Kingdom, especially in the Tang court, it is a big scandal for the unmarried princess to be made to have a big belly, fortunately, Princess Qingle is going to marry Zhou Xuan, otherwise, as Princess Qingle's personal female official, Feng Ajian's dereliction of duty is to be killed by Bai Aya.

Feng Ajian said nervously: "Guogong quickly think of a way, you must marry the princess a year ago." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "I'm not sure if I'm really pregnant, it's hard to say about the queen." ”

Feng Ajian hurriedly said: "No matter what, it is always early to marry and be stable, and it will not be possible to hide it until the princess's belly is bigger, and if this matter is leaked, it will have a great impact on the reputation of the princess and the princess." ”

Zhou Xuanyi nodded: "Okay, I'll let Qin Que go to the princess again to take a pulse for a diagnosis, if the princess is really pregnant, I will tell the queen the truth and let the mother scold her." ”

Zhou Xuan called Qin Que and said, Qin Que smiled and said: "Since Eunuch Feng said so, then there is no doubt about it, there is no need to take the pulse again, the husband should quickly find a way." ”

Feng Ah Jian told Zhou Xuan a few words, and then took a little palace to return to the palace first.

Qin Que looked at Zhou Xuan with a half-smile and half-teased, and said: "Husband, think of a way, the princess's belly will be obviously bigger after the New Year, and when the time comes, the time between childbirth and marriage is too short will make people criticize, if you get married next month, then it is reasonable to be born prematurely in July." ”

Zhou Xuan's old face flushed, and he looked at the clouds in the sky, it was already the beginning of Shen, and it was inconvenient to enter the palace to see Xiao Zhouhou, so let's talk about it tomorrow, so he went out to continue drinking with Lin Heishan and Judge Fan, and when it came to buying the things needed to marry Lin Hanyun, Judge Fan said: "This doesn't need to worry about the national government, the lower official brought 20,000 taels of silver this time, and all the things should be handled by the Metropolitan Protector Mansion." ”

Zhou Xuan knew that Lin Dai thought that although he was in a high position, his foundation was shallow and he didn't have any property. With the Duke of Guo and the scholars of the Jixian Palace, I am afraid that the expenses of the Zhou Mansion will be stretched, and marrying the daughter of the Miss Duhufu is no better than the daughter of a doctor of medicine, and the cost of money is like flowing water. I was afraid that Zhou Xuan would not be able to take out so much silver, so he asked Judge Fan to bring 20,000 taels of silver into Beijing, and first, to arrange the new house of the "Tongque Pavilion" of the Guogong Mansion. Lin Hanyun designated to live in the "Tongque Pavilion" after marrying Zhou Xuan, and last time their sisters lived here, and all the tools were newly purchased; The second is to purchase things to welcome relatives. Jinling and Guangling are lined with shops, not like Jiangzhou. If you want to do it, you can't spend any money.

Zhou Xuan said: "How can it all be paid by the Duhu Mansion!" In this way, Miss Hanyun likes to be lively, so this time it will be very lively, and I will also pay 20,000 taels of silver here, and everything I need will be purchased in Liangjing. ”

Judge Fan was surprised: "The national market has a big sale. Let's keep the silver, the second lady will live in Beijing in the future. ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Master Fan doesn't have to worry about money, I have a way to make money." ”

Zhou Xuan came back from the Southern Han Dynasty this time, in addition to the rare treasures sent by Chen Yanshou and others, there were more than 10,000 taels of gold, equivalent to 100,000 taels of silver, which was enough to squander, and the day before yesterday, Emperor Li Yu rewarded him with 500 taels of gold and 2,000 horses of silk.

After hastily agreeing on what to purchase, Judge Fan decided to go to Guangling tomorrow to purchase it first. Wang Shizhang learned that Zhou Guogong and Miss Fenghua Jiedu were going to get married. How could he be willing to lag behind, and personally accompanied Judge Fan to Guangling. As long as the things purchased by Judge Fan were owned by his Wang shop, they were all half sold and half given away, saving at least two or three thousand taels of silver.

On the morning of November 16, Zhou Xuan was still lying on the Qin Que with his arms, and he could hear Xiaodi cheering in the yard: "Oh---- Oh---- it's snowing, brother-in-law and sister get up quickly to see the snow, it's so thick."

Zhou Xuan and Qin Que both woke up, Zhou Xuan played with Qin Que's fat and creamy breasts, and asked, "Did Xiaodi invite a teacher?" Oh, not yet, I was looking for a bachelor in Jixian Hall to teach him that year, Xiaodi was eight years old, and it was time to enlighten. ”

Qin Que put his face on Zhou Xuan's chest, and rubbed it one by one: "Husband, Xiao Zhiruo is two months old, and Princess Qingle, who has not passed the door, is also pregnant, why haven't I moved yet?" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "This and this, I just continue to work hard." ”

Qin Que blushed and said, "Actually, I know when I can easily conceive----

Zhou Xuan smiled: "Okay, I'll accompany you all day in those days, hehe, the finch is also in a hurry." ”

Qin Que buried his face in Zhou Xuan's arms, and said with a smile: "I'm not in a hurry, my mother is in a hurry, she asked me in the letter." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "I will go back to Jiangzhou in the first month of next year and bring her two old people to Beijing, they haven't seen Zhiruo yet." ”

Xiaodi in the courtyard screamed louder and louder, and when she saw that her brother-in-law and sister hadn't gotten up yet, she came to knock on the door, and Xiaomei and cumin, who were sleeping outside, opened the door.

Xiao Cumin lowered her voice and said, "Young Master Xiaodi, don't make a noise about your brother-in-law and sister sleeping, the little county lord of Zhiruo over there hasn't woken up yet." ”

Xiaodi said: "Zhiruo is awake and crying." ”

Zhou Xuan came out in his clothes, and saw at a glance a white piece under the steps under the door, the snow fell in the middle of the night, and it was a few inches thick.

Zhou Xuanxi said: "It's a lot of snow, Xiaodi, brother-in-law will take you to build a snowman." After hurriedly washing, he took Xiaodi's hand to the courtyard, and saw a few servants sweeping the snow, and hurriedly said: "You don't have to sweep it, you just go and sweep the corridor in front of the courtyard gate, we have to play with the snow here." ”

There are large hibiscus trees in the "Hibiscus Garden", at this time the snow is white, and the jade trees are very beautiful.

Yang Xiaofeng also got up, standing under the porch and quietly watching Zhou Xuan and Xiaodi snowball, their black and deep eyes of water-cut eyes.

Zhou Xuan greeted: "Hao'er, don't be afraid of the cold, come, play together." "Pinched a small snow ball and threw it gently, and the middle sheep raised his chest and couldn't help laughing.

Yang Xiaofeng's white cheeks flushed, and when he walked to the snow, he also pinched a small snow ball and threw it at Zhou Xuan, but he accidentally slipped under his feet and sat down on the snow all of a sudden.

Zhou Xuan hurriedly came over to help her and said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask the carpenter to make a sled and go skiing in the backyard." ”

A few little girls also came to roll snowballs together, and after a while, they were piled up into seven or eight snowmen, erected under the hibiscus tree, of different heights and sizes, and Xiaodi clapped her hands and screamed happily.

The needle opened the door and came out, and behind him was holding Xiao Zhiruo Ying Cainu, Ying Cainu loved Xiao Zhiruo very much, and she usually took care of her.

Xiaodi shouted: "Xiao Zhiruo, is it good to look at my uncle's snowman?" ”

The sewing needle replied with a smile: "Beautiful! When it snows next year, Zhiruo will be able to play with Xiaodi. Xiaodi is not allowed to bully Zhiruo. ”

Xiaodi said: "Xiaodi is an uncle, how can he bully Zhiruo!" ”

There was laughter in the "Hibiscus Garden".

At the beginning of the hour, Zhou Xuan rushed to Jingxu Palace under the escort of the three idiots. Princess Qingle was directing Fangcha and other little palace maids to build a snowman under the rose frame in front of the Jade Palace, and she was overjoyed to see Zhou Xuan coming so early. I ran over when I stepped on the snow.

Zhou Xuan shouted: "Don't run, stop and don't move!" The loudness of the voice startled Princess Qingle and her mouth pursed. I'm not happy.

Feng Ajian on Zhou Xuanchong's side nodded with a smile, walked over to Princess Qingle and said, "I'm afraid that you will fall." He stared at Princess Qingle's abdomen. Stretched out his hand to help her put her mink coat together, and said, "Huzhu, I have something to say to you, let's walk around this corridor." ”

Princess Qingle said happily: "Okay." Holding Zhou Xuan's arm, the two walked slowly along the corridor surrounding the Jade Palace.

Zhou Xuan asked: "Hu Zhu." Have you felt anything uncomfortable these days? ”

Princess Qingle said: "No, it's very comfortable, yesterday, it was more comfortable with Cousin Xuan." ”

Zhou Xuan snorted "uh" and said, "I'm afraid I can't do it again during this time-

"Why?" Princess Qingle was having fun, and she didn't follow it, "I'm afraid that my mother will blame you?" Anyway, the queen mother already knows that I have had sex with you. ”

Zhou Xuan was speechless, and said for a while: "Huzhu, do you know that you may be pregnant?" ”

At this moment, Princess Qingle was dumbfounded, and she was speechless for a while.

Zhou Xuan leaned on the pillar of the temple. Put your hands around Princess Qingle's waist. He whispered, "That's fine, you can marry me earlier." ”

Zhou Xuan originally thought that Princess Qingle was afraid that others would know that she was pregnant before marriage and made a fool of herself. Unexpectedly, Princess Qingle said: "I'm pregnant, isn't it so thick in the waist and spots on my face, like the last sewing needle, so ugly." ”

Zhou Xuan glared at her and threatened: "Don't care if you look good or not, think about it when you marry me next year with a big belly, then what kind of criticism will there be inside and outside the government and the opposition?" ”

Saying this, Princess Qingle was a little scared and asked, "Then what should I do, Cousin Xuan quickly find a way." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "What is there to think about here, that is, to ask the queen to let us get married before the year." ”

Princess Qingle knew that she was embarrassed at this time, and said: "Cousin Xuan, you go and tell my mother, I am a girl's family, how can I talk about this, I am ashamed to death." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Then let's go together, I said to my aunt, you can cheer on the side, now there are only a few days before the New Year, you have to hurry." ”

Zhou Xuan and Princess Qingle each took a palace car to Daxing Palace's Calyx Xianghui Building, the wheels were crushed with ice and snow, and several chamberlains and palace ladies on the street next to the car stumbled.

To the calyx downstairs, is to meet Xiao Zhou after running back, beautiful, heroic, let Zhou Xuan and Princess Qingle wait, about two quarters of an hour, this is out, has been bathed, when walking, the fragrance is pleasant.

Princess Qingle is shy and doesn't talk much.

Zhou Xuanxian presented the second-hand manuscript of the volume of "Strange Tales of Calyx Tower", and said: "This is when the nephew came back from the Southern Han Dynasty, he had time on the ship, and wrote thirty-seven articles, the words were crude, please Aunt Niangniang Yazheng." ”

Xiao Zhouhou smiled and said: "Very good, I heard that the first volume of "Strange Tales of Calyx Building" is popular in Beijing, so that Jinling paper is expensive, and Xuan's nephew is talented, and the second aunt of this volume is going to have a sneak peek." Glancing at Princess Qingle, she asked, "Why didn't Hu Zhu speak, and had an awkward quarrel with your cousin Xuan?" ”

Princess Qingle hurriedly said: "No, no ----" glanced at Zhou Xuan, the autumn waves were shining, and the delicate crimson was red.

Zhou Xuan stubbornly said: "The nephew has something important to report, please ask the aunt to retreat." ”

Xiao Zhouhou frowned slightly, then stretched out, waved his hand to let all those wrestlers and female officials withdraw, and then asked, "What does Nephew Xuan have to say?" ”

Zhou Xuan knelt down and said: "Yesterday, Qin Que was the princess's vein, but the princess ---- was found."

"What's wrong with the princess?"

"Princess ----"

Xiao Zhouhou stood up, hesitated in his heart, walked up to Zhou Xuan and said as calmly as possible: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Zhou Xuan bowed his head and said, "The princess is pregnant." ”

Xiao Zhouhou stood still, and after a while, he walked back and slowly sat back on the big chair covered with embroidered cushions, his thoughts were chaotic, she didn't blame Zhou Xuan for cheating with Princess Qingle unmarried, after all, she had a private meeting with her brother-in-law Li Yu in the back garden at the age of fourteen, and Li Yu Youque's "Bodhisattva Man" was written at that time---- "The moon is dark and the fog is light, and the sky is good to go to the side of Lang." Socks step incense steps, hand gold thread shoes. See you on the south side of the painting hall, and you have always been trembling. It is difficult for the slave to come out, and the king is merciful. "---- Princess Qingle can be said to have a great motherly style, but it is troublesome to get pregnant before marriage.

Princess Qingle snorted: "Queen Mother-

Xiao Zhouhou ignored her, and only asked Zhou Xuan: "How are you going to cover up such a thing?" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "The nephew will go to prepare and marry the princess." ”

Xiao Zhou was silent for a long time, and Zhou Xuan and Princess Qingle knelt side by side and didn't dare to move.

"That's it, what else can I do now!" Xiao Zhouhou said helplessly: "Zhou Xuan, hurry up and go back for me to prepare for Nacai, ask for a name, ask King Wei to be the matchmaker ---- Huzhu, and follow me to see your father." ”

Since Xiao Zhou Hou agreed, things will be easy to do, from November 18 to 26, Nacai, Ming, Naji, Nazheng, and Invitation, these five ceremonies were all held in a solemn and heavy place, and the time of the invitation was asked by Si Tianjian to say that the 26th of the next month is a good day for marriage once in ten years, so the wedding date of Zhou Guogong and Princess Qingle was set on December 26.

Although there is a lot of criticism inside and outside the government and the opposition about Princess Qingle marrying in such a hurry, no one dares to say anything on the surface, and the common people have a good impression of Zhou Xuan, especially the businessmen, who are heartily supported, and the beautiful princess of the Tang Kingdom was not married by the white and fat prince of the Southern Han Dynasty but finally married Zhou Guogong, which is what the common people like to see, and the entire Jinling City has entered the festive atmosphere of the New Year in advance.
