Chapter 167: Marriage in peace

Ping Ping objected: "Xiaotian, I won't agree to you going." Mann is such a good girl, she is a good fit for you. ”

Zhang Xiaotian said: "She shouldn't be involved in this turmoil, I volunteered to go with you." ”

"No, I'm married, you go with me, is it appropriate?"

"I will make it clear to the Holy Lord, and I will go with you as the leader of the guard."

Ping Ping said angrily: "Zhang Xiaotian, don't be obsessed anymore. I don't love you, and even if you follow us, we can't. I will marry Zhu Dan and bear him children, and in the future I and his children will become the new monarch of Tubo. What are you doing with the past? ”

Zhang Xiaotian said: "In the future, I will also meet the woman I like, get married and have children." It's not because of selfish interests that they want to follow you, but because they want to serve the imperial capital. ”

Ping Ping didn't expect him to be so disobedient, and asked coldly, "What about your parents?" Will you also forsake them? ”

Zhang Xiaotian said with a smile: "Princess, after all, they are loyal to the emperor and the queen. They know better than I know what it means to be loyal and sacrificial. They will support me. ”

"Even if they agree, I won't agree, don't you think."

"Then everything is subject to the emperor's will."

An An heard that Pingping was going to marry Tubo, and he also rushed back from the barracks.

He directly found Pingping and asked, "Sister Huang, why do you want to marry Tubo far away?" ”

Ping Ping said: "Because life is so boring, I want to find something to do?" ”

An An was angry: "Sister Huang, marrying someone is not child's play, this is a lifelong thing." If you get married, you rarely have the opportunity to return to the imperial capital, are you willing to give up the emperor's mother and father? ”

"I will miss them, and I will find an opportunity to come back and visit them. Brother Huang, I heard that you have made a lot of military achievements in the military in recent years, and I think that my father will soon make you the crown prince. Shouldn't you be thinking about the future of the imperial capital? Why did you take care of my marriage? ”

An An said: "Sister Huang, don't I care about you? We are sisters and brothers, except for our father and mother, we are the closest people in the world. I hope you can be happy. ”

Ping Ping said: "Brother Huang, I will be happy." And my happiness needs to be fought for by myself. ”

As if An An thought of something, he asked, "Sister Huang, tell me honestly, why do you have to marry Tubo?" ”

Ping Ping smiled: "Because I like Prince Zhudan!" ”

An An: "......" They rarely see each other, how could they let her be so desperate.

Seeing that he was speechless, Ping Ping said seriously: "Tubo is far away from the imperial capital, if you indulge him to be strong and unite with the surrounding small countries, I am afraid that the imperial capital will be threatened." If I marry, the strength of the imperial capital can penetrate into Tubo, and then control Tubo. ”

An An said: "Sister Huang, if you don't like him, you don't have to marry him. Even if they were strong, they didn't dare to make any attempts against the emperor. I'm not going to give them a chance to do it against the emperor. ”

Pingping smiled: "Just allow you to have ambitions, don't allow your sister to have ideals?" ”

An An was dumbfounded and said, "Sister Huang, you have already planned to control Tubo in your hands?" ”

Ping Ping chuckled, "Why not? The emperor's brother will govern the imperial capital well, and I will contain Tubo in the west. Of course, I will bring them to a stronger position, but they will never be able to threaten the imperial capital. ”

An An: "......" He didn't expect that his imperial sister would be so obsessed with power.

"Brother Huang, are you moved? The royal sister will help you defend one side. ”

An An asked, "Sister Huang, will you be happy like this?" ”

"Yes! Is there anything more fascinating in the world than power? ”

Zhang Xiaotian returned home and knelt down to Zhang Shuo and Qiu Yue.

He said seriously: "Father, mother, and son want to escort the princess to get married, and I can't accompany you to fulfill my filial piety." I beg your pardon. ”

Qiuyue said: "Tian'er, you can send her to Tubo and return, and we will wait for you at home." ”

Zhang Xiaotian said: "Mother, I will follow the princess and not return to Beijing for the time being." ”

Zhang Shuo said angrily: "Bastard thing, the princess is married, and you don't go back, what's the reason?" ”

Zhang Xiaotian said: "I want to be loyal to the princess and protect her safety in Tubo." ”

Qiuyue asked, "Tian'er, you like princesses, right?" ”

Zhang Xiaotian was silent.

Zhang Shuo was even more angry: "Why didn't you say it earlier? If we had known earlier, we would have given marriage to the emperor. Do you have to wait until she gets married? ”

Zhang Xiaotian: "Father, I don't want her to be embarrassed. It is her wish to marry Tubo, and I just want to be by her side. ”

Qiu Yue said helplessly: "Then what about your life's events?" You can't never get married for the rest of your life, can you? ”

Zhang Xiaotian said seriously: "Maybe one day, I will also meet a lovely woman, and at that time, I will bring her back to start a family." ”

Zhang Shuo asked, "Does the princess agree to go with you?" ”

Zhang Xiaotian shook his head: "She doesn't agree, but I will petition the emperor." ”

"She doesn't want you to go with her, she must make you die. Why bother with it? ”

"I'm not pestering, I'm just accompanying her."

Seeing his resolute attitude, they no longer objected.

When Xu Manzhen heard the news, he also petitioned Peony and Xu Lang to send the princess to marry.

Peony and Yang Mubai have a deep relationship, Xu Manzhen and the princess have a deep relationship, and they naturally have no objection.

Zhang Xiaotian met Pei Shengyuan in person and asked to be the leader of the escort team to send the princess to marry.

Pei Shengyuan said with a smile: "Xiaotian, Pingping has asked me for instructions, and I don't need you to accompany me." You still want the capital to share your worries and do your filial piety for your parents. ”

Zhang Xiaotian said firmly: "Your Majesty, the grass people and Princess Jincheng have known each other since childhood. She married alone and had no relatives and no reason in Tubo. The grass people just want to accompany the princess and solve her problems. Take care of her. ”

Pei Shengyuan asked, "Then can your parents agree?" ”

Zhang Xiaotian replied: "I have asked my parents, and they agree that I accompany the princess to Tubo. ”

It's also a good thing to think that Pingping is really unrelated and unreasonable, and to be accompanied by multiple people.

If Prince Zhudan treats her badly, at least she has a childhood friend who can comfort her.

Pei Shengyuan no longer objected and agreed to his request.

Ping Ping knew the news and was speechless. Are all these people crazy? Zhang Xiaotian is the only seedling of Zhang Shuo and Qiu Yue, how can they rest assured that he will follow her away from the capital. I go to Tubo, and I don't know when I can return to Beijing. Are they so relieved?

She found Yang Mubai and wanted her to persuade Qiuyue.

"Huang Eniang, I married Tubo far away, Zhang Xiaotian has to follow, doesn't this ruin his future? Talk to his parents and ask them to persuade him not to go his own way. ”

Yang Mubai said helplessly: "Pingping, you insist on marrying Prince Zhudan, don't you also insist on going your own way?" This is his ambition, so why should we stop it? ”

Pingping asked, "Then you know, he ...... me"

Yang Mubai asked, "How is it to you?" ”

"He said he liked me."

Yang Mubai sighed and said, "He is willing to stay away from his relatives and hometown and accompany you to Tubo, it must be because he likes you!" ”

Ping Ping said angrily: "Then you still don't persuade him, why are you still messing around with him?" ”

Yang Mubai said with a smile: "People who fall in love can't listen to the persuasion of others. Let him send you to Tubo, and when he sees that you are in love with Prince Zhudan, he naturally wants to open ......"

Pingping asked, "What if he can't think about it?" ”

Yang Mubai said: "He will figure it out." There will always be times when people are confused, and when they see that what they expect is different from what they think, they will always figure it out. ”

Because An An has established a lot of meritorious services in the army. In recognition of his contributions, Pei Shengyuan finally decided to make him the crown prince. announced at the same time as Pingping's wedding day, which is a joyful event.

Yang Mubai was not happy, she was always worried about her when she married Pingping. I'm afraid that she will not be happy in Tubo.

But no matter how reluctant she was, their wedding day still came as scheduled.

Yang Mubai held Pingping's hand and said in a choked voice: "Pingping, in the future, the emperor's mother will not be around, you have to take care of yourself." Making yourself happy is more important than anything else. In case you don't get along well in Tubo, you must repair the book to the emperor's mother. I'll ask your father to send someone to fetch you. ”

Pingping smiled and said, "Huang Eniang, don't cry, don't worry!" I'm going to be fine. When I settle down in Tupo, every year or two, I'll go back to Ning. ”

Yang Mubai comforted: "If Prince Zhudan treats you badly, or the others in Tubo treat you badly." Don't be too aggrieved by yourself......"

Ping Ping said seriously: "Huang Eniang, he will definitely treat me very well." I will never let myself be wronged. ”

The two of them talked for a long time, and finally Yang Mubai reluctantly sent her out of the harem.

Before leaving the palace, Ping Ping couldn't help but shed tears constantly. Fortunately, there is a hijab to cover his face, so outsiders can't see it.

Xu Manzhen was by her side, and from time to time she saw tears dripping onto her hands.

Zhang Xiaotian led the way in front of the family send-off team. Prince Zhudan rode a horse to guard the phoenix sedan chair.

After more than ten days of traveling, I finally came to the country of Tubo.

It's very different from the capital. There are very few mountains and woods, and it is an open meadow. Beyond the mountains, there is a desolate sandy land.

The Tubo Palace was built on a hill with a wide lake behind it. The Tubo people call it the Fairy Lake.

It is said that a long time ago, several fairies went down to play here, found a small stream, and washed here.

They are accustomed to seeing surging lakes and clouds in the Heavenly Palace. The creek made them feel particularly flawed.

So, they used magic to make the lake infinitely wide, and the water was clear and sweet. Raised generations of Tubos. It is also their mother lake.

The Imperial Palace is much smaller than the Imperial Palace, and there are not as many pavilions and decorations, but many of the items inside are exquisite. All of them are the finest items collected from various countries.

The king of Tubo asked the ministers and all the people of the palace to greet Princess Imasei and Prince Zhudan at the palace gate.

With a smile on his face, he kept praising Princess Imasei for her outstanding talent and beauty.

Ping Ping couldn't show his face, so he had to bow down.

The queen smiled beside her and said, "Monarch, the auspicious day has arrived, don't delay the emperor's worship ceremony." ”

Only then did the king of Tubo stop complimenting and let the palace people lead them in the ceremony.

After all the etiquette was completed, Ping Ping was sent to Zhu Zhang's palace.

It was a newly furnished palace, where he had not lived before, to celebrate his wedding, and to be rewarded by the king.

At night, Prince Zhudan came back drunk.

Ping Ping had already taken off his hijab and had dinner, which was ready to rest.

Seeing that he was very drunk, Ping Ping said in disgust: "Why are you drunk like this?" Don't go wash up yet. ”

Prince Zhudan said happily: "You don't know, those ministers who didn't want to see me in the past are flattering me in every possible way today, and they want to slap me in every possible way, it's really funny!" ”

Ping Ping said: "You want to say that you finally raised your eyebrows? ”

Prince Zhudan was very excited, and he smiled and said, "Nini, I'm very happy. Those who used to despise me, I now ignore all of them. ”

Ping Ping just wanted to call someone to help him go to wash, and as soon as he said this, he knew. This Nini must be his sweetheart.

She sat next to her, trying to hear what else he had to say.

Prince Zhudan was not idle, and said: "Nini, I married Princess Jincheng to save my mother, don't be angry." When I stabilize her, I'll tell her to bring you back. I'll be fine with you. ”

Ping Ping asked, "What if the princess doesn't agree?" ”

Prince Zhudan smiled: "She will agree, she is married to Tubo, and I am his dependence." As long as it takes a long time, the imperial capital will also give up on her. Can she still make waves on my head? ”

Ping Ping looked at him coldly, and said slowly: "I'm afraid this won't be as you wish." But if you want to marry a woman, or your sweetheart, I don't object to it. As long as you don't get in my way. Toss it up as you want. ”

Prince Zhudan was already asleep on the bed.

Ping Ping couldn't, so he had to call the palace people and help him take a bath.

She didn't care about him anymore, and went to rest first. She hasn't been able to get any better in the past ten days, and she is really too tired. She asked the palace people to help him wash and then sleep on the bed. She herself fell asleep in it first.

The palace people looked at each other, what is the situation of these two people? The princess of the imperial capital is so majestic, and her husband hasn't returned to the room yet, so she fell asleep first.

So how is this cave room still going on? However, they are also subordinates, and they cannot interfere in the affairs of their masters.

Early in the morning of the second day, Prince Zhudan woke up first.

He saw Pingping, who was lying in it and had not woken up, with a smile on his face. This woman is quite interesting. Last night was the night of candles in their cave room, and she didn't have a seizure when he was so rude. It's really rare.

He sat on the bed and watched her sleep quietly.

This woman, his titular wife, is really beautiful. With so many thoughts, he couldn't be fooled by her.

I don't know what environment she grew up in, her face and eyes look very weak, innocent and clean. But all in my heart is the desire for power. This kind of woman's heart is the most ruthless, whoever stands in her way, she will not hesitate to get rid of the other party.

Now, he also needs such a ruthless, noble wife. Although Tubo is a small country, there are many women in the monarch, and he has given birth to more sons than Pei Shengyuan. If there is an inheritance to the throne, it will be born casually.

He used to be silently behind these disputes, not taking sides, not fighting. As if everything that happened in the palace had nothing to do with him.

It wasn't until he begged his father that he wanted to marry Nini, that the monarch angrily asked him: "The princess of the imperial capital has a fancy for you, why don't you grasp it?" Without her power, we will have to rely on ourselves in the future. Now the kingdoms are strife, if you can marry her. We Tubo will no longer be bothered by them. ”

No matter what he said, Prince Zhudan never spoke. In the end, he said helplessly: "Father, Nini and I are already husband and wife. I will receive only her in this life, and I will not marry a woman beside me. ”
