Chapter 882 On Marriage
There is a lake with an area of hundreds of acres in the backyard of the Qi Palace, called Biyuan, connecting the Ziwei harem and the backyard of the Qi Palace, of which seventy percent of the lake belongs to the palace range, only three percent belong to the Qi Palace, but the lake is connected as a whole, it is difficult to distinguish the boundary of the palace courtyard, there is a small island covering an area of twenty acres in the middle of the lake, the island is lush with trees, and there are dozens of large and small pavilions and pavilions.

The island can only go up by boat, and there are only two painting boats in the whole Biyuan, which are moored in the palace and the palace of the king of Qi, at this time there is a painting boat moored next to the island, and several female guards stand next to the painting boat with knives.
In a long corridor on the island, Lu Qingzheng and Yang Ji'er walked slowly side by side, followed by several female guards in the distance.
Yang Jier wears a goose yellow long skirt, wearing an emerald green half-sleeved short shirt on the upper body, and the skirt is tied under the armpits, which makes her extraordinarily slender and elegant, slim and slim, she is fifteen years old this year, tall and slender, her skin is white and delicate, her appearance is beautiful and pretty, her red and round mouth, and her well-behaved nose is slightly upturned, which makes her pretty and naughty.
The upper-class women of the Sui Dynasty generally began to talk about marriage at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and Yang Jier, who was already fifteen years old, naturally attracted the attention of many ministers, especially a month ago, she stood up in the court to defend Lu Chu, and won the unanimous praise of the courtiers.
Although she is the princess of the first emperor, the remnants of the Sui Dynasty are still there, and the king of Qi still recognizes her as a princess, and there are a lot of political resources hidden in her.
Yang Jier has been famous for being naughty in the court since she was a child, even if she is fifteen years old, she still has a rebellious spirit brought from a young age, such as this time she quarreled with her mother and left the palace alone, fortunately, she was just rebellious, but she was not willful, and she came to the palace of Qi after leaving the palace.
Lu Qing immediately sent a female escort into the palace to tell Empress Xiao and let Yang Ji'er stay with him for a few days.
"Sister Qing, don't persuade me, I don't want to go back now, if you persuade me again, I won't come to you next time."
Lu Qing smiled helplessly and said, "Every time I persuade you, you threaten me with this, okay!" I won't talk about it, so you don't have to worry about your family as if you can't afford to support you. ”
Yang Ji'er took Lu Qing's arm and said coquettishly: "Sister Qing, I really don't eat much. ”
"That's it! All right! I'm scared of you, okay? ”
Yang Ji'er covered his mouth and smiled secretly, the two walked slowly along the corridor, the cool breeze was light, which was refreshing, Yang Ji'er stretched his waist and smiled: "It's good that your prince is not at home, relaxed, my life will be sad as soon as he comes back, it's best never to come back." ”
Lu Qing glanced at her innocently, "What nonsense is this, I think I should send you back immediately, otherwise I will have to be angry with you." ”
Yang Ji'er smiled and said, "I'm joking with Sister Qing!" There is no reason not to let her husband come home. ”
"You!" Lu Qing poked her forehead lightly and shook her head with a smile.
"Seriously, why did you and your mother quarrel this time? Your mother won't say anything. ”
Lu Qing was a little curious, he had never seen their mother and daughter turn their faces to this extent, for three days, their mother and daughter didn't ask each other, Yang Jier was still young, and it was understandable that she was a little rebellious, but as a mother, Empress Xiao didn't care about her daughter.
Of course, Yang Jier is not Empress Xiao's biological daughter, but she was raised by Empress Xiao since she was a child and regarded her as her own, how can she ignore the relationship of more than ten years here? This made Lu Qing really feel incomprehensible.
Yang Ji'er hesitated and said: "It's a family matter that is difficult to talk about, let's tell Sister Qing when I have the opportunity in the future!" ”
"Since it's a family matter, don't tell me, I'll just ask casually."
At this time, Lu Qing remembered something again, took Yang Ji'er's hand and said with a smile: "By the way, Zhang Xuansu's wife came to visit me yesterday, guess what she talked to me about?" ”
"I guessed somewhere."
"Talked about you."
"About me?" Yang Ji'er was a little surprised, tilted her head and smiled and asked, "What are you talking about me?" ”
"I talked a lot, your character, whether you are married, what you like to do, etc., I will tell you the truth."
Yang Ji'er's expression was a little unnatural, and she muttered, "I don't know her, why did she ask me about it." ”
"Are you still pretending to be confused? Her youngest son is twenty-one years old and has not yet married, what do you say she is here for? ”
Yang Ji'er's face suddenly became gloomy, "When I am what is the dish in the market?" Anyone can come and ask the price, Sister Qing, if you come to ask me in the future, you will say that you don't know, I don't like this! ”
Yang Ji'er's tone was very annoyed, which made Lu Qing stunned for a moment, and said with a half-loud smile: "It turns out that our Ji'er doesn't like this kind of blind date. ”
"It's not a question of the way the blind date is done, it's that I don't want to ...... at all right now I don't want to marry someone I don't like. ”
"Do you have someone you like? Maybe I can help you. ”
Yang Ji'er blushed and said, "It should be ..... now Not yet! ”
At this time, a female guard quickly stepped forward to report, "Princess Qiqi, Your Highness has returned to the house." ”
"Got it, I'll go back right away."
Lu Qing saw that Yang Ji'er looked nervous, so he smiled and said, "King Qi is not a tiger who wants to eat you, what are you afraid of?" ”
"Sister Qing, I'm in a bad mood right now, and no one wants to see me."
"Got it, you go back and lock the door, and take a few more cabinets to hold the door up, so you won't see anyone."
After speaking, Lu Qing laughed to himself, and pulled Yang Ji'er back quickly.
.........
At night, Zhang Xuan took a bath and sat in Lu Qing's room in loose clothes to read, while Lu Qing sat in front of the dresser and carefully removed her makeup, she smiled at her husband: "It's strange, how can Jill be so afraid of you like that?" ”
"Is Jill still there?"
"Don't interrupt, I'm asking you!"
Zhang Xuan touched his nose and smiled: "I don't know, maybe I'm too serious!" ”
"I think Jill has grown up and started to be shy, you know that Zhang Xuansu's wife came to me today, maybe she wanted to marry Jill for her son!"
Zhang Xuan was a little strange, and asked with a puzzled smile: "This kind of thing should be found by the Queen Mother, why are you looking for it?" ”
Lu Qing glanced at him innocently, "Their orphans and widows, aren't you still up to you to decide their fate?" Jill is nominally a princess, but she's still not a princess, don't you understand in your heart? ”
Zhang Xuan smiled, but did not speak, and Lu Qing asked again: "To be honest, how is Zhang Xuansu's youngest son?" Have you ever seen it? ”
"I've heard that he is studying in Taixue, he is very active, he likes to play the piano and hunt, and he is a good match for Jill's personality."
Lu Qing pouted, "Twenty-one years old, it's still so fun, it's actually a student, I thought it was at least a county official, like my eldest brother was admitted to the imperial examination at the age of eighteen to serve as a county official, and at the age of twenty-two he became a county magistrate, to be honest, the younger generation of the Taiyuan Wang family is really not good." ”
"Not every child of the family is so young and promising, Zhang Xuansu's son's character will not be bad, and more importantly, Jill chooses it herself, as long as she likes it."
"The problem is that she doesn't like it, and she says she doesn't want to be picked and picked like a dish in the market."
Jang Hyun laughed, "This analogy is interesting!" ”
Lu Qing glared at him, "What is this, marriage is a matter of both parties, people also want to know a little more, they are all people with status, if you don't come to the door to ask first, what if you take the liberty of proposing marriage and are rejected?" I'll go and tell her mother about this, the little girl is thin-skinned, of course she won't be willing, what if her mother blames me in the future? ”
Zhang Xuan nodded, "It's okay, you can discuss this matter yourself, don't ask me, as long as she doesn't marry Chang'an, I don't object to whoever she marries." ”
........
Early the next morning, the first senior meeting was held in the Ziwei Pavilion Government Hall, which marked the official start of the operation of the multiphase system.
Ziwei Pavilion is not a lonely small building, it is actually a group of buildings, covering an area of about 20 acres, more than 40 large and small buildings, only the place of meeting has six, including the meeting hall, semi-circular hall, political affairs hall, diligent government hall and so on, in addition, each Xiangguo has an official room in Ziwei Pavilion, each has two or three engaged in this office, even if Xiangguo is not there, can be found in time.
The seven ministers are subject to a deliberate voting system, and generally if the majority of the ministers approve of the court, they can be passed, but if it is a major government matter, it must be approved by more than five people, and if this standard is not met, the regent must be consulted.
There are three ways to discuss the affairs of Ziwei Pavilion, one is a regular meeting held every morning, one is a temporary meeting proposed by the regent, and the other is convened by a temporary notice of the consul minister, who is the convener of the deliberation and the leader of government affairs, and seven people take turns to serve for one month.
Today's first meeting was proposed by Jang Hyun, who announced Su Wei as the first consul minister, and at the same time read out the rules of procedure and the scope of authority.
"Today, for the first time in the Ziwei Pavilion, I want to discuss with you the issue of currency unification." Jang Hyun smiled at everyone.
