Zuo Shaoyang arched his hand to Empress Changsun and said: "Then let's tell the truth, I know that the emperor gave me a marriage so that I can treat the emperor's illness, but in the past fifteen years in the Western Regions, I have been busy with miscellaneous things, and I have not paid attention to medical skills, and my medical skills are not as good as before, and I am not sure that I can cure ordinary diseases, let alone diseases that the doctors can't cure." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info So, even if I enter Beijing, the emperor's illness will definitely not be cured, since I can't cure the emperor's illness, the so-called uselessness is not punished, I am embarrassed to accept the emperor's good intentions, marry Princess Changle as his wife. Therefore, please ask the emperor to take back his fate. ”

With that, he stood up and bowed. The top of his head has always been smooth, this bow, the top of the light head sparkled, the prince couldn't help laughing: "Divine doctor, I can't imagine that almost twenty years have passed, and you are still remembering the events of the past, and you have always refused to keep the hair on the top of your head?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang touched the top of his head, and said, "This is given by the emperor, how can it be destroyed casually." ”

"It's still true, my father gave you a bald head, and you have kept it to this day, and now you are given a princess, but you are pushing back, it is the same holy order, but what are the two different results?"

"It's different!" Zuo Shaoyang shook his head and said, "The princess is at the cost of curing the emperor's illness, and I am confident that I don't have the ability, so I can't accept it." ”

Empress Changsun Zhengse said: "Who told you that Princess Changle was given to you on the condition of curing the emperor's illness?" ”

"Isn't it?"

"Of course not. Marriage is marriage, healing is healing, and the two can not be confused. Even if you don't go to Beijing to treat the emperor's illness, or if you enter Beijing but can't cure the emperor's illness, it won't affect the marriage. Princess Changle is married to your Zuo family. ”

When Qiao Qiaoer and the other girls heard this, they were all overjoyed, glanced at each other, and looked at Zuo Shaoyang.

In fact, everyone understands in their hearts that the emperor's marriage was largely due to asking Zuo Shaoyang to enter Beijing to treat him. The two are definitely related, however, this layer of window paper cannot be pierced. Everyone tacitly understands it. However, now that the queen has said it to her face, even if it can't be cured, she will marry Princess Changle to Zuo Shaoyang, and the Zuo family can also rest assured.

Zuo Shaoyang lowered his head and muttered for a moment, and said, "Can I meet Princess Changle?" ”

According to the rules, in ancient times, when marrying a wife and a daughter, men and women could not meet each other before they got married. Especially the emperor's daughter, it can't be seen casually. Whether it is good or ugly, only the candles in the cave room can know. Therefore, Zuo Shaoyang made this request, and everyone was taken aback. Qiao Qiaoer and the others were even more afraid, so they annoyed the queen and were condemned.

Unexpectedly, Empress Eldest Sun just smiled slightly and said, "You have already seen her!" ”

"Seen? When? ”

The prince also smiled: "Ling Zun fell ill just now, and the divine doctor wants to give Ling Zun medicine, and he needs to take it with water, and the woman who brought you water is Princess Changle!" ”

"Oh?" Zuo Shaoyang recalled the appearance of the woman just now with his eyes, he was too busy at the time, and he was very anxious, so he didn't pay attention to the woman. It's just that I vaguely remember that I was quite young, probably only fifteen or sixteen years old. The appearance should not be very ugly, and it should not be amazingly beautiful, otherwise I will definitely pay much attention to it, and the deepest impression at that time was the coldness in the woman's eyes, which seemed to be like a stranger. How can you look at yourself like this?

This made Zuo Shaoyang even more uneasy, after all, her father Li Yuan was killed by herself, although no one could see it at the time, and it was also Li Shimin's acquiescence. However, as the so-called thief has a weak heart, seeing her treat herself like this, she is still a little apprehensive in her heart.

Therefore, Zuo Shaoyang hopes to meet this princess of Xincheng, so that he can finally make a decision on whether to marry by order.

Zuo Shaoyang said: "This matter is related to the future happiness of me and her, after all, I am in my forties, he is only a teenager, the age gap is too big, I still want to talk to her face to face." ”

The matter of marrying Princess Changle to Zuo Shaoyang Empress Changsun has already talked to Princess Changle, and Princess Changle has already expressed her attitude to obey the arrangement of the imperial brother. And there is no objection to it, so the eldest grandson queen is very relieved. nodded immediately: "Okay, this palace will ask someone to invite Princess Changle to come here to meet you." ”

"No!" Zuo Shaoyang shook his head and said, "I hope to talk to the princess in private, I don't know if it's possible?" ”

"Yes!" Empress Eldest Sun smiled magnanimously. "Then tell her to come to your house to talk, you go back first, and the princess will arrive later."

"Okay, thank you!"

Zuo Shaoyang took Qiao Qiao'er and the others out of the house to leave. Qiao Qiao'er and several other women all lowered their heads and didn't speak, and Xiao Yunfei said in a low voice: "Shaoyang, I have something to remind you first." ”

"What?"

"When I see Princess Changle, don't do anything bad!"

Zuo Shaoyang glared at her: "Afraid that I will insult her?" What did you take me for? Haven't you ever seen a woman's pig brother? ”

Xiao Yunfei sneered: "Where do you want to go?" I mean, don't think of any crooked ideas, deliberately do something bad to make her disgusting and angry, so that the emperor will regret marrying, so that he can achieve his goal and not marry her. If you have this thought, dispel it as soon as possible! ”

"Oh? I wasn't going to do it, but I wondered why I couldn't. ”

"Nonsense, this marriage was given by the emperor, and I haven't heard of anyone who dares to resist the decree and not marry. And my uncle has already accepted the order, and he is also engaged, this marriage has been completed, to put it bluntly, she is already your wife, and she can't quit if she wants to! Unless you divorce your wife, but you dare to divorce the princess, unless you are tired of life! ”

Qiao Qiao'er and the other women were all happy, and this was what they were most worried about, but they didn't dare to say it. looked at Zuo Shaoyang together.

Zuo Shaoyang smiled bitterly: "I also understand this, so I don't plan to deliberately leave a bad impression on her so that she will regret her marriage." ”

"And what did you see her doing? Anyway, it's her whether it's beautiful or ugly, can't wait and want to see it? If that's the case, you don't have to pay attention, but I watched her grow up, to be honest, she is very beautiful, and among all the daughters of Emperor Taizu, she is definitely one of the most beautiful. It's just that this surname is Ge......"

Qiao Qiao'er asked nervously, "What?" Is Princess Changle's surname bad? ”

"I can't say it's bad, but I should say that it has a very good surname."

"What's the last name?" Zuo Shaoyang said with a smile.

"Want to know? Don't you know if you marry home? Hee-hee"

As they spoke, several people returned to the house, Qiao Qiao'er and a few concubines were busy cleaning up the house briefly, and then they all avoided going to other rooms, leaving Zuo Shaoyang alone and sitting in the house.

After a while, I heard the sound of footsteps, and then, a palace maid came in with the curtain, and Fu Li said: "Master Divine Doctor, Princess Changle is here." ”

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly stood up, the palace maid raised the curtain high, and a petite girl walked in. It was the same princess Changle who brought him water and medicine before!

Zuo Shaoyang gave a long salute: "I've seen Princess Changle!" ”

Princess Changle walked to the chair and sat down with a blank face. The maid lowered the curtain and withdrew. Princess Changle looked out the window and said lightly: "The queen said that you want to see me, and if you have something to say, please say it." ”

Zuo Shaoyang coughed lightly and said, "What I want to tell you is that I know that your imperial brother asked you to marry me so that I could treat him, but, to be honest, my medical skills in the Western Regions have been wasted in the past fifteen years, and I really can't cure your imperial brother's illness." Also, I am really not suitable for your age, you are too young, for me, there will definitely be many different topics and hobbies between us, there will be few common languages, and you will not be happy if you marry me. ”

Zuo Shaoyang didn't care whether the other party could understand some modern words in his words, and said it a little nagging. Of course, the main reason why he didn't want to take this kiss he didn't say, and he couldn't say it, if Princess Changle knew that he was the murderer of his father, it would bring bad luck to the family.

Xincheng didn't look at him, just looked out the window, and his tone was still faint: "Have you finished speaking?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang was stunned for a moment, and said, "It's over." ”

"I have three things to tell you, I hope you remember."

"Princess, please speak."

"First sentence, I don't want to marry you, especially after you repent of marrying in front of so many people, and would rather let Ling Zun fall ill than marry me by order!"

"I'm sorry," Zuo Shaoyang smiled bitterly, "I didn't want to hurt you at the time, I just ......"

"Second sentence!" Princess Changle interrupted him, her voice raised, and she still said her own: "The holy decree has been made, and it cannot be changed." So, I want us to be a superficial couple, you have to keep it a secret, don't tell anyone that our couple is fake, you can't force me to do something I don't like. Otherwise, everyone's face is not good-looking! ”

At this time, the wry smile on Zuo Shaoyang's face disappeared, and he didn't speak, just nodded.

"The third sentence, if you cure my imperial brother's illness, after I am thirty years old, I can consider becoming a real husband and wife with you. However, if you can't cure my imperial brother's illness, my imperial brother will ......, and I hope you can reconcile with me calmly. That's all the good for everyone. ”

"Divorce" is a divorce system stipulated by the Tang Law, which is equivalent to "divorce by agreement" in modern society.

Zuo Shaoyang smiled, smiled bitterly, he stood up, touched his bald head, and said, "I also have three words for the princess, and please remember the princess." ”

"Let's talk about it!" Princess Changle still didn't look at him.

"First sentence, I decided to marry you as I was told!" Zuo Shaoyang said with difficulty, "Although we don't like this marriage. However, what you said about the superficial couple and the future reconciliation is very inspiring to me, so that I have an explanation in front of your father and my father, and since this is the case, let's be a superficial couple. ”

Princess Changle didn't seem surprised by this answer, and there was even a faint sneer on the corner of her mouth. Still looking out the window.

"The second sentence, after you pass through the door, I hope you don't ask us to pay you the courtesy of a king, and we won't embarrass you to do something you don't want to do. It's good that everyone is okay. ”

Princess Changle was a little surprised, her body moved, but she still looked out the window.

"The third sentence!" Zuo Shaoyang walked behind her and said coldly: "I promised to go to Beijing to treat your imperial brother, but I have said it again and again, I can't cure your imperial brother's illness, so you don't have to wait until you are thirty years old, you can leave with me soon." ”

Princess Changle's petite body shook slightly, and finally turned her head to look at him: "My imperial brother said that as long as you are willing, you will definitely be able to save his life." ”

Zuo Shaoyang shook his head: "No one dares to say that it can cure all diseases." Neither can I. ”

"No!" Princess Changle stood up and said, "The queen also said that if there is anyone in this world who can save the life of the imperial brother, that person is you." I know they won't lie to me. That's why I agreed to marry you in the first place. ”

"I'm sorry, I really can't cure your imperial brother's illness. We said that our marriage, you can not accept it at all. That's all the good for everyone. ”

"It's hard to recover! The royal brother has decreed that the marriage will be granted, and everyone in the world already knows about it. I don't have a choice when it comes to marriage. Princess Changle's expression was a little gloomy. I only hope that my sacrifice will be exchanged for the health of my royal brother. ”

"Sacrifice?" Zuo Shaoyang smiled and glanced at her up and down, "Say something princess, don't like to listen to it, you really don't have the capital to sacrifice!" ”

Princess Changle's pretty face turned red: "You! What did you say? ”

"Well, I don't want to hurt you, but I also hope you don't think it's a gift for you to marry into my family. If you do, you'll hear even worse words. Okay, we're done talking, and everyone understands their thoughts. Let's go back to my mother! After that, Zuo Shaoyang didn't care about Princess Changle's feelings, and walked away with his hands behind his back.

Princess Changle's tears swirled in her eyes, she secretly wiped them with her sleeves, stomped her feet, and walked out.

In the courtyard wing, Qiao Qiaoer and the others have been hiding behind the windows of the house and peeking around. Not long after seeing the princess enter, the two came out one after another, but they couldn't see anything wrong with their faces. Seeing that the two of them went outside the courtyard gate, they opened the door and came out, glanced at each other, and quietly followed behind and went out of the courtyard gate.

Zuo Shaoyang and Princess Changle came to the house of the eldest grandson, and the palace maid reported it in, and they were soon reported.

When the two entered the house, Zuo Shaoyang arched his hand and said, "Niangniang, I agreed to this marriage." I also agreed to go with you to Peking to see the emperor. However, I must state once again that I really do not have the ability to cure the emperor's illness. If this marriage is really premised on curing the emperor's illness, then it can be canceled. ”

Empress Changsun smiled, exchanged glances with the crown prince, and said to Zuo Shaoyang: "Divine doctor, please rest assured, this palace has made it very clear, no matter whether you are willing to go to Beijing to see the emperor, and whether you can cure the emperor's illness, the princess will marry you, this is the emperor's marriage, it has nothing to do with your medical treatment, don't link the two together, so as not to let people gossip." ”

Zuo Shaoyang nodded: "Okay, I won't say it again, without further ado, let's set off like this." ”

The empress shook her head: "There is no need to be in such a hurry, the emperor's illness is not in danger for the time being." It's getting late now, and since I'm here, I'll stay overnight, and it's not too late to leave tomorrow morning. I still have something to discuss with you. ”

"If the mother has something, just tell me."

"You're really a hurry, I said I'm not in a hurry. After dinner, let's discuss it slowly, and the princess, your marriage, we must also discuss how to do it first. ”

"Okay. Then I'll have someone arrange a dinner right away. ”
