11. Marriage

On this day, Zheng Lushi came to report that the right guard Zhonglang died of a violent illness in Wuyou and his wife Qin, and brought a gift list for her to see. When Shen Mengxi heard this, she couldn't help frowning, she asked the record to do things according to the rules, and there was no need to be special.

This Wu Youji is the second husband of Princess Taiping, and in all the books in the Wuling space, he is mentioned as a very cowardly man.

Shen Mengxi knew that the queen was going to make a big move.

Wu Youji's wife was actually given death by the queen of heaven in order to make room for her. When the queen of heaven was the heir of Wu Cheng, she was consulted several times, and now, she is going to marry directly.

Wu Youji is two years older than Taiping, with a thoughtful appearance and a weak personality, so he should be the best diva can pull out in the martial arts. It's just that Wu Youji's wife died because of this, which made her feel very sorry in her heart, I don't kill Beren, Beren died because of me.

The diva has become more and more powerful in recent years. Maybe it's because the closer she gets to her twilight years, the more she doesn't want to have regrets, she doesn't care about her reputation at all, she raises her face, reuses cool officials, and now she is also on the verge of becoming the emperor.

She was in a hurry to marry Taiping to the Wu family, and her starting point should be to protect her daughter. Then, the Li family will face a catastrophe.

Shen Mengxi entered the palace to give her a fine wine from her wine shop, and the queen liked it very much and praised her for her filial piety, but she didn't say a word about marriage. Shen Mengxi knew that the queen of heaven had made up her mind.

Sure enough, a hundred days after Wu Youji's wife died, the queen of heaven decreed that the marriage would be granted: Princess Taiping descended to the right guard Zhonglang to general Wu Youji.

Wu Youji was promoted to the general of the right guard, and entered the king of Dingding, and added 300 households.

Another Jishanfang mansion was given, and the marriage was scheduled to be made on March 18 of the following year.

Shen Mengxi silently accepted the holy decree and entered the palace the next day to thank him. The queen of heaven mentioned the four children of the Xue family for the first time, and said with a smile that Da Lang is eight years old, and it is time to learn to ride and shoot.

Before Shen Mengxi left, the queen stroked her hair, "A-Niang is always for your good." ”

Shen Mengxi thanked with a smile, expressing his acceptance of the queen's hard work. The queen of heaven was very pleased, called Shangguan Wan'er, and ordered her to draw up a decree to give Princess Taiping 200 soldiers, and after a deep groan, it was changed to 300.

The queen of heaven touched her daughter's smooth and tight face, and Yin Yin told her to get along with the martial arts family and not to bully Wu Youji.

Ordinary people have two surnames, and they must pay attention to the right family. The princess's marriage is even more destined to be political.

If Shen Mengxi was an ordinary widow at this time, she could probably spend her life alone in peace and tranquility. But at this moment, she has a mother who is dedicated to being the emperor, and the queen of heaven urgently needs the support of the martial family to contend with the Li family, and believes that marrying her daughter to the martial family is the best protection for her daughter, the best of both worlds.

Shen Mengxi did not resist senselessly, and the matter was a foregone conclusion. It's not Wu Youji, it will be someone else from the Wu family, the martial arts family of the right age has a wife, so the queen of heaven will not hesitate to kill people to make room, no matter what, the queen of heaven will eventually arrange her life persistently, regardless of her wishes, and is convinced that she has good intentions.

After living for so long, Shen Mengxi has encountered too many helpless things, but it is the first time he has married someone he doesn't like.

The status is so high, but it is the most involuntary.

She smiled wryly.

What else can you do but smile bitterly.

Yin'er cried when she learned that A-Niang was going to remarry, the child has always been calm and polite, and this crying made people realize that he was just an eight-year-old child.

"Is A-Niang going to be a A-Niang for someone else?" Yin'er's tears crackled and fell, after Grandpa's death, A-Niang became fond of them, and now if A-Niang remarries, she will definitely forget them again.

Shen Mengxi held him in his arms, "Silly child, no matter when, A-Niang will always be your A-Niang." ”

Wu Youji has three children, one daughter was born to his wife, I don't know what his family is like now, and do some children cry loudly?

Shen Mengxi took a deep breath and said to Yin'er with a smile: "What are you crying about, it's not like the sky is falling!" A-Niang is still A-Niang, but there is one more mansion, life goes on as usual, you are the eldest man in the family, you are A-Niang's best child, A-Niang is counting on you all her life, Yin'er will work harder in the future, pay more attention to everything, think more. ”

Yin'er was expected to be placed on her head and nodded again and again. In the end, I couldn't help crying and threw myself into her arms. "Grandpa is gone, A-Niang wants to marry, just marry, Yin'er is in charge of her younger brothers and sisters!" Although the words were hard, the twitching shoulders revealed his grievances.

Shen Mengxi stroked his back and comforted him.

"The nurse said that A-Niang always misses her father and doesn't want to marry Wu Youji, right?" Yin'er suddenly raised her head and asked.

"The queen of heaven is A-Niang's mother, and the will of the queen of heaven cannot be disobeyed, there is no willingness or unwillingness." Shen Mengxi looked at Yin'er at eye level, and said to him: "Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory, don't complain." What can't be changed, then accept it. Then, find ways to make unsatisfactory things become beneficial to yourself to the greatest extent! Do you understand? ”

Yin'er nodded as if she didn't understand, and rested her head on her mother's knees, in his young heart longing for maternal love, in the days to come, there are probably not many opportunities for such intimacy.

Soon, Zongzheng Temple began to renovate the Jishanfang Mansion with great fanfare, and it was extremely luxurious. This mansion is across the street from the princess's mansion in Shangshanfang, and the queen of heaven has given many servants and maids, and increased the princess's food to 2,000 households.

There was a rumor that Wu Youji dismissed the concubines in the family and left no one behind.

Shen Mengxi just smiled when he heard it.

She summoned Yi Ling and Commander Lu to discuss with them about the training of private soldiers, six hundred, which is really not much, but it is always better than nothing, strengthen the training of specialties, and if necessary, it is still possible to do it with one as five.

Yi Ling was very surprised that the princess did not pay a dowry, but cared about military training, but he didn't say much, this year, the princess treated him with great courtesy, and he was no longer arrogant and rude, so that he had another point of expectation to surrender to the lord in the psychology of the emperor's inviolability.

The training intensity of the government soldiers is very high, and the combat effectiveness is also very fast, equipped with war horses, bows and arrows, daggers are excellent, and the diet and clothing are also very elegant, and the families of the government soldiers are treated preferentially. Since they have government soldiers, as princesses, how can I allow them to have a vegetarian meal, the polo field in the princess's mansion must be the best stadium in Datang! The villa of the princess's mansion must be the most magnificent villa in Datang, and the soldiers of the princess's mansion must also be the most domineering soldiers in Datang! ”

Yi Ling shook his head again and again when he heard this, nodded hurriedly, stroked his beard a few times and stopped talking.

Commander Lu's stick wound was so good that he bowed down with his fists in his fists at this time, and said loudly: "The subordinates will live up to the princess's expectations, fight hard, practice hard in the cold and summer, and swear to defend the princess's mansion!" ”

Yi Ling didn't know, but Commander Lu knew that the princess was not so arrogant as she behaved, half a year ago, in addition to the secret guard, she personally selected twenty people, designated as special guards, and commanded by the princess herself. Secretly sent to a Zhuangzi training in Luonan, and even he didn't know the specifics.

Because of Zhang Qian's matter, he was beaten with a military stick, but he didn't have any resentment, but he only blamed himself for wrongly guessing the princess's intentions. He really thought that the princess knew, and he also thought that the princess would give Zhang Qian to An Ning like last time, and there were guards in private who even made fun of Zhang Qian, saying that Zhang Qian had no ambitions, why didn't such a beautiful man ask the princess to introduce her to the queen of heaven.

They just like to laugh, and they usually protect the princess with all their hearts.

The guards, like other subordinate officials, work in the princess's mansion, but they are established within the system, receive royal salaries, and are under the dual leadership of saints and princesses. But this year, the princess's year-end bonus to the guards is more than twice that of Yulu, and the official position is even higher.

Now that the situation between the DPRK and China is tense, and the call for Empress Wu to be the emperor is getting louder and louder, Commander Lu doesn't care who is the emperor, and now he just wants to follow Princess Taiping in peace. He saw with his own eyes a member of the Li royal family, who was raided by the queen's favored minister, Junchen, a dignified county king, and was taken to the Lijingmen Magistrate's Court, and without asking a word, he was first put on the torture instrument.

A few months ago, the White Horse Temple presided over Huaiyi, personally led the army to crusade against the Eastern Turks, in the expedition ceremony, the saint personally gave wine, worship Huaiyi as the general manager of Dongping, the monk Huaiyi is nine feet tall, dignified appearance, infinite strength, relying on the favor of the queen of heaven, even Wu Sansi, Wu Chenghei is not in his eyes on weekdays.

Thinking of this, Commander Lu felt even more panicked in his heart, now that even the princess has to rely on the martial family, is it really going to change the sky?
