Chapter 22 Marriage

The next day, Zhang Wenyi was awarded the title of the lord of Anxi, and along with the canonization decree and the edict, there was also an edict from the emperor's reprimand: "You should be familiar with the "Female Ring" and "Female Training" and do less strange and obscene things. ”

Qin Qiong asked Yuan Niang and Zhang Wenyi in surprise, and the two of them told them about meeting Princess Jinyang yesterday. After listening to this, Qin Qiong said unmindfully: "It's not a big deal, the emperor is worried about his baby daughter." You can do whatever you have to do, and you'll be fine in two days. ”

After listening to Qin Qiong's words, Yuan Niang and Zhang Wenyi looked at each other: This father-in-law (father-in-law) is really bold, and he doesn't even take the emperor's words seriously.

Sure enough, two days later, Zhang Wenyi inexplicably received a lot of rewards from His Majesty the Emperor, and also ordered him to meet him.

In the palace of the heart of the palace, I met the famous Tang Taizong Li Shimin.

Seeing Zhang Wenyi, who was a little tall, Emperor Taizong was obviously a little unprepared. Looking at Zhang Wenyi, who was slightly taller than Li Zhi, who was two years older than Li Zhi standing next to him, Li Shimin regretted that he had agreed to marry a little early. Although girls develop early, they are taller when they are young, and they don't seem to be much taller when they grow up, but what if this child grows much taller than Li Zhi?

Of course, today's topic is not this. Emperor Taizong praised Zhang Wenyi in person, and then told her that Princess Jinyang wanted to meet you.

Well, you're the emperor you're the biggest. Zhang Wenyi reluctantly accepted the reality and honestly followed the palace maid to Princess Jinyang's residence.

She was very happy to see Princess Zhang Wenyi Jinyang, and when Princess Jinyang knew that Zhang Wenyi was only one year older than her, she was very surprised by Zhang Wenyi's height.

Zhang Wenyi, who learned to cut some time ago, hadn't touched scissors for a while, and there happened to be a cute girl like Jinyang by the side, so she cut a pillow according to the image of Yan Tuanzi.

There are very few women in this era who can't be female celebrities, and Princess Jinyang is already learning to be female celebrities at this age. Zhang Wenyi felt that the emperor came to her today to accompany Princess Jinyang, and simply let the princess follow suit, so that the sense of accomplishment would be stronger when things were done. The left and right are just killing time, and the two of them have finally made the pillow after a busy day.

When it was time to leave, the princess forced Zhang Wenyi to have dinner, originally she had just been taught a lesson by Yuan Niang two days ago, and Zhang Wenyi did not dare to exceed the rules. But as soon as Zhang Wenyi insisted, Princess Jinyang immediately burst into tears. Zhang Wenyi reluctantly said to Jin Yang that he wanted to ask the emperor, of course Li Shimin felt sorry for his daughter, since Jin Yang asked for it, he naturally agreed.

Since the emperor agreed, Zhang Wenyi had no choice but to go with the flow, but she still asked someone to inform the Guogong Mansion that she would not come back for dinner at night.

The royal dinner was sumptuous, with about a dozen dishes on one table, all steamed, boiled and boiled. The thick grease on the plate, Zhang Wenyi felt sick to his stomach when he looked at it.

I barely ate a little bit and couldn't eat it, Jin Yang saw that she didn't eat much, but asked with concern. Zhang Wenyi boldly asked if she could fry a green vegetable, and the kitchen replied that it was eaten by the people and they didn't dare to serve it to the princess.

At Jinyang's insistence, the kitchen finally burned a green vegetable. Zhang Wenyi tasted it, and the water was really not good. Dealing with it, he ate a little more, and passed the test in front of Jinyang.

After receiving the news that Zhang Wenyi would not come back for dinner, Qin Qiong said to Huaiyu and his wife: "Come on, you don't have to wait for her to come back tonight." ”

Yuan Niang was a little puzzled, and the prince explained on the side: "After dinner, the palace door will be locked, so the palace generally will not leave anyone for dinner." If you have dinner at the palace, you will not be able to come back in the evening. ”

Sure enough, Zhang Wenyi, who didn't know the situation, was staying in the palace at night, and the helpless Zhang Wenyi gently pinched Jin Yang's cheek and said hatefully: "You did it on purpose." ”

Jin Yang smiled and didn't make a sound, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

Before going to bed, I gave guidance to the two palace maids who served Jinyang, and then Zhang Wenyi went to dream of her male god.

slept until midnight at night, a soft little body arched into Zhang Wenyi's quilt, no need to ask, it must be Jinyang, the little girl. It's just that her hands and feet are cold, but Zhang Wenyi woke up from freezing.

The next day, Zhang Wenyi, who was used to getting up early, was doing physical exercise outdoors with two dark circles under her eyes. To be honest, she's really afraid that she will become ugly when she gets fat.

As for whether to compete with the Wu family for favor and husband. Jokes, modern marriage, marriage and divorce are more natural than drinking water and eating, Li Zhi is willing to grow old with her, that's no problem. If he was willing to be with the Wu family, Zhang Wenyi thought that he didn't have that ability, and there was no need to snatch him back.

Her husband can't run away by herself, if someone else's family follows him, it's important for her to keep her appearance first.

Only halfway through the exercise, Jin Yang, who was sleeping colder and colder the more he slept, also got up. She saw that Zhang Wenyi was funny lifting her feet and kicking her legs, and she also followed suit. It's just that after only a few movements, his face turned pale and he couldn't breathe.

Zhang Wenyi felt that the physical training she had insisted on for such a long time might be a little difficult for Jinyang, a beginner. So she asked Jin Yang to do some elementary exercises, but she didn't think that even if Jin Yang did a few sets of basic exercises with relatively small physical consumption, he still had a heartbeat and wheezing, and Zhang Wenyi realized that Jin Yang's body was too weak.

This time Zhang Wenyi is in trouble, and he has been the master of the body for two lifetimes. The kind of way to exercise for the weak, she really doesn't know.

The popular fitness god boxing in later generations - Tai Chi, Zhang Wenyi will not. Fortunately, she still knew Hua Tuo's five-bird opera, and told Jinyang to inquire if anyone would practice five-bird opera, but her exercise method should not be learned, Jinyang's body is weak and it is harmful to learn.

On this day, there was no morning court during the day, and the palace gate opened late. Zhang Wenyi waited for the time to come, and hurriedly said goodbye to Emperor Tang and Princess Jinyang and returned to the Yiguo Mansion.

After entering the Guogong Mansion, Zhang Wenyi went to his father-in-law first and reported yesterday's itinerary to Qin Qiong.

Qin Qiong patted her back lovingly and said, "Prepare to enter the palace in advance." Looking at Zhang Wenyi's puzzled eyes, Qin Qiong explained: "Jin Yang is very similar to Empress Changsun by nature, and he is already favored by His Majesty's husband and wife. Since the death of the eldest grandson and queen, their husband and wife have a deep affection, and His Majesty often looks at Zhaoling from afar to show nostalgia. Jin Yang and the eldest grandson Empress Sheng's appearance and heart are the same, and His Majesty looks at her differently. I heard that now His Majesty has taken her with him to raise her personally. Jinyang fell in love with you, and invited to the palace when they met for the first time, which has never been done before. And I stayed overnight that night, but I was afraid that today's excerpts of the imperial history would fly all over the sky. Your Majesty will definitely let you enter the palace in advance because you want to cover up the truth, so you have to be mentally prepared. ”

However, there was nothing else except that the emperor rewarded a lot of gold and silver cloth that day, and the next half a month was as if nothing had happened, and even Qin Qiong was a little anxious in peace.

Finally, one day, the holy decree of canonizing Zhang Wenyi as the princess of Jin came down, and Qin Qiong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this holy decree. He knew that Li Shimin had finally chosen to let Li Zhi marry Jiu'er after the battle between heaven and man.

For Li Shimin, the purpose of letting Jiu'er enter the palace now is nothing more than to take care of Jinyang, which is of course easier to be his concubine. Jiu'er's young age is not a problem, Qin Qiong is a national prince is not a problem, and it is not a problem that she is inferior in seniority. The problem lies in Qin Qiong's merits, if Li Shimin marries Zhang Wenyi, it will be a great disrespect to the heroes, plus he has been suppressing the generals of the Wagang family, which is easy to cause people's minds to change.

The Wagang generals have been suppressed, there are not many generals at the top, but these generals are the cornerstone of the middle-level generals of the Tang Army, if these people have changes, the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army will be greatly affected, at present, the Turks and Tufan are superficially surrendered, but in fact they are accumulating strength, and the Tang Army is absolutely chaotic at the moment.

The royal wedding was extremely cumbersome, but under Li Shimin's strict order, everything was proceeding quickly according to the procedure. The officials of the Ministry of Rites have never been so busy in their lives, and they still feel that they don't have enough time to work every day.

The Yiguo Mansion was not idle, and the grandmother Yang and the palace maid were stationed in the back house of the Guogong Mansion. Zhang Wenyi is under the supervision of raising grandma and palace maids every day, constantly practicing wedding procedures and learning court etiquette. Despite adequate preparations, the cumbersomeness of the court etiquette of the ancient royal family was far beyond Zhang Wenyi's imagination.

It is difficult for modern people to imagine that there are more than a dozen kinds of sitting postures alone, and there are no less than 100 details of each sitting posture. Thinking that the most tired standing posture in military training back then was already miserable, if you choose one of the most tired military postures in military training now, Zhang Wenyi would rather stand in a military posture for a day.

During this time, Zhang Wenyi was tired every day, in addition to wanting to sleep or sleeping, learning court etiquette was difficult or tiring, these could still stand up, but Yang's bamboo stick was really hateful, and the slightest mistake in the bamboo stick was ruthless, and every time it was a hot pain. Many times she almost couldn't help but want to talk to her father-in-law about whether we could not get married, of course, this kind of thought can only stay on the idea.

The decree is given, unless the royal repentance. If you dare to ask for such a reason to stop the whole process, you are impatient. Ignoring the royal majesty, the big hat that teases the etiquette is enough to tie you to the execution ground with a thousand cuts. And it's just a matter of looking for death by yourself, and most of them will be held accountable for the lax governance of the Yiguo family, and the reduction of officials and dismissals is a trivial matter.

Wayward in ancient times? The result is harm to others and oneself.

What Zhang Wenyi didn't know was that the fierce god who raised her grandmother viciously was complicated in her heart at the moment. This upbringing grandmother Yang was the royal prince of the previous dynasty, and her father used to be the servant of the Ministry of Rites of the previous dynasty. She is the oldest and most knowledgeable nurturing grandmother in the Tang Palace.

Zhang Wenyi is the worst of all the future imperial concubines she has taught, at the beginning, the Yang family was very surprised how such a wild girl could accept her as a righteous daughter, how could the emperor choose her to be the concubine of King Jin, it was simply unorthodox.

Soon Yang found that this was the hardest-working, most receptive, most agile, and fastest progressing among all her disciples, and such a huge contrast made Mama very uncomfortable.

One day, after the training, Mama suddenly stopped Zhang Wenyi and said to her, "I won't train tomorrow morning." ”

Zhang Wenyi said happily: "Yes, Mama." ”

Yang frowned and said coldly: "What are you happy about, don't you remember that your joy and anger are invisible!" You will not be punished today, and the punishment will be doubled for any further offense in the future. ”

Zhang Wenyi hurriedly straightened up and replied, "Yes, Mama." ”

Yang hesitated for a moment and said, "You are a candidate for the crown prince and concubine, and many things are related to the dignity of the royal family. Therefore, what should be there should be should be followed, and what should not be should be thought about more. ”

Zhang Wenyi's face remained unchanged, and she replied in a deep voice: "Yes, Mama." ”

Yang glanced at her and turned to leave.

That night, Zhang Wenyi came to Qin Qiong's study. When Qin Qiong saw Zhang Wenyi, she couldn't help but be taken aback, you must know that the back house of the Qin Mansion, especially the courtyard where Zhang Wenyi lives, is heavily guarded by the forbidden army, not to mention that it is almost impossible to walk from the inner courtyard to the outer courtyard, or to get out of her courtyard.

Even this outer courtyard is guarded by forbidden troops. There are also personal guards near the study, these people are all soldiers who have survived a hundred battles, and their alertness and protection ability far exceed that of the forbidden army, and ordinary people can't avoid their vigilance at all.

But this child not only walked out of his yard but also walked to his study, which is not a common cornice on the rivers and lakes. It's an ability that only the best assassins have, but to become a top assassin without ten years of hard work to sharpen a sword, this child is only seven years old, even if he starts practicing from his mother's womb, it's too late.

Zhang Wenyi studied Yang's words again.

Qin Qiong thought for a while and asked, "Isn't there anything else special during this time?" ”

Zhang Wenyi thought for a moment and replied: "In addition to Mama Yang teaching etiquette, it is to practice each step with the palace maid. There is nothing else to do except the embroidery lady who came to measure the wedding dress and jewelry in the palace. ”

Qin Qiong bowed her head and said, "Okay, you can go back with peace of mind, I will make my own arrangements tomorrow." ”

After Zhang Wenyi walked out of the door, Qin Qiong called a guard to come in and ordered: "You secretly escort the county lord back, remember not to let the county lord find out." ”

The guard took the order, and after a stick of incense, the guard came back dejectedly and said, "The villain is lost." ”

Qin Qiong was taken aback, this guard was originally a well-known scout in the army, and he was good at probing and tracking. It was unbelievable that he had lost someone, and he hurriedly asked what had happened.

The guard said: "The county lord laid a mechanism on the road, and the villain accidentally touched the mechanism and alarmed the forbidden army patrolling the night, and the county lord took advantage of the chaos to escape. ”

Facing the guard's reply, Qin Qiong felt inexplicable, and carefully asked Zhang Wenyi's state, and the guard said: "The county lord doesn't know martial arts, but he walks carefully and has patience to avoid the dark pile." ”

Qin Qiong waved his hand to let the guards retreat, and he was finally relieved. Without this ability, it would be impossible for her to walk from Chuzhou to Pengcheng safely.

The next day, Qin Huaiyu "happened" to meet several grandmothers from the palace when he went out, and he saw that the forbidden army guarding the front door was allowed to leave without inspection, and he was dissatisfied and stepped forward to reason. The leader of the march guarding the front gate did not buy the account of the prince of the country, and the two sides quarreled. It happened that the eldest grandson Wuji was passing by because of something, and he didn't dare to be stubborn in the face of the leader of the forbidden army of the eldest grandson Wuji, so he had to check the belongings of several grandmothers. Unexpectedly, a mezzanine was found in the basket brought by a grandmother, and there was a bowl of soup and medicine in it. One of the grandmothers tried to escape from the chaos, but was discovered. She committed suicide by biting the poison hidden in her mouth, and the remaining grandmothers were taken away by the forbidden army.

After investigation, these grandmothers were coming to check Zhang Wenyi's body.

In ancient times, the prince would definitely go to check whether the woman was a virgin, and this process was called a physical examination, which was carried out by an experienced grandmother in the palace.

Usually the marriages of the royal family and the minister's family are mostly political marriages, so this step should have been done a long time ago, otherwise it would be very embarrassing for both parties to find out the problem after they were halfway through.

It's understandable that it's late this time, after all, it's very, very hurried, and some omissions are inevitable, but it's unreasonable to think about it so late.

The bowl of decoction was not toxic after being examined by the Imperial Physician's Department, but an experienced imperial physician said that this bowl of medicine had only one effect, that is, it could make the virgin's body not be lit with palace sand.

The body of the virgin could not be guarded with palace sand, which made the incident very delicate, and Li Shimin was furious and ordered a thorough investigation.

It's just that one grandmother committed suicide, and the others obviously didn't know about it. In the end, the matter had to be settled, but soon after, the emperor's aunt and the eldest princess An were warned, and her husband Wang Yu was demoted to the third rank.

After three months of busy work, the wedding of King Jin was finally completed in Chang'an, and Zhang Wenyi, who was only seven years old, and King Jin, who was only eleven, got married.

Sitting on the marriage bed like a small house, Zhang Wenyi smiled bitterly. The most sacred marriage in the hearts of girls, how to get to her is even more like a farce.

Who knew that the unpleasant thing was not over yet, after everyone in the room retreated, Li Zhi walked to Zhang Wenyi's side and pinched her chin hard, and raised Zhang Wenyi's face roughly.

He said viciously, "You also fall into my hands one day. I can let you go today, and you can go now. ”
