Chapter 51: Life After Marriage
After the princess of Jincheng married into Tubo, she respected each other like a guest with the Tubo Zampu ruler and Zhudan. A large number of Tang Dynasty items that accompanied her to marry, including scriptures, almanacs and medical works, as well as tens of thousands of silk satins, caused a great sensation in the local area, just like the grand occasion when Princess Wencheng first arrived. As for the palace servants and musicians she brought, they also gradually adapted to life in a foreign country, and slowly began to integrate into Tibet and take root and reproduce. In the near future, these people will also become a bridge for friendly exchanges and exchanges between the Tang Dynasty and Tibet, and give birth to the next generation, so as to pass on this spirit of peace and friendship from generation to generation.
However, these are only things that can be seen on the surface. Tao Yao's life after marrying into Tubo is actually far from being as glamorous as it seems, far away from the Tang Dynasty, away from the homeland and everything familiar, and then to integrate into a strange race and the way of existence they pursue, which is already a huge test in itself. After many years, Tao Yao once again felt the subtle mood of her little self when she first entered the Imperial City of the Divine Capital. It's just that she was still at a loss at that time, but at this time, she couldn't even have the slightest bit of something wrong.
"Your Highness, you better sit down and rest for a while and drink hot tea." With his hands and feet quickly pouring a cup of tea from the teapot on the side, Hongfu turned around and handed it to Tao Yao, looking at her slightly pale face, the expression on her face was very unbearable: "Didn't Zampu say that you don't need to go to the Empress Dowager Wulu to meet you, why do you have to go to such a trip every three or five days?" Besides, those people don't like us in the first place, and when you go, you are simply sent to the door to be bullied, even if the slave and maid look at it, it is ......"
"Okay, Sister Hongfu, let's say a few words." After taking a sip of hot tea, Tao Yao felt that his body had warmed up after being cold all morning, and then he would have the strength to speak: "This is not the Lanyue Hall of the Divine Capital, so you still have to be careful when you say it." Although Zhu Dan specially built a palace similar to the Tang Dynasty style for her daily life, it was far away from other Tibetan nobles, and even the people used in the palace were mostly Tang Dynasty people who she married, but more things are better than less things. Who knows if there will be people with ulterior motives in this? She is married, and there is no need to complain about some things.
Thinking about it like this, she couldn't help but take a few more sips of tea, until the whole person was warmed by the charcoal stove in the hall, and then she softly answered Hongfu's previous question: "He said that his attitude, but whether I go or not is my problem." Today's Tubo seems to be completely in the hands of Zampu, but the real real power figure is still the Empress Dowager Wulu. Whether it is people's hearts or force, she is the hope of Tubo, so no matter what others say, I must let her look at me pleasing to the eye. ”
"But......" Hongfu knew that what she said was reasonable, but when she thought of the faces of the group of Tubo nobles when her master rushed over early in the morning, she was very angry in her heart: "What kind of eyes and attitudes do they have, all of them have nostrils facing the sky, and they basically love to ignore them!" No matter how you are, you are also the princess of His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, they are so careless, it is simply unreasonable! Even when she was in Shendu, she walked in the palace and never suffered such a cold reception. also thanks to His Royal Highness's good temper, he didn't show anything in front of him from beginning to end. And she tried her best to restrain herself to this point, but it was already the maximum limit.
"Then I ask you, did they make a stumbling block for me, or did they deliberately mistreat me?" Putting down the teacup, Tao Yao turned to hold a white jade hand warmer in his palm, and the whole person curled up on the soft couch covered with thick fur mattress, like a lazy cat.
"This ...... Naturally, there is no such thing. Hongfu was stunned for a moment and subconsciously replied. After coming into contact these days, she has a little understanding of the Tibetan people. These people may be a little more straightforward, and they are more rugged and wild than the Tang people, but if you want to talk about tricks and the like, there is basically no such thing. Ordinary people don't deal with it, and they are usually brave and ruthless, let alone the royal family that prides itself on being noble and honorable. But as long as they still have brains, they will not do such a thing to their masters.
"That's not it." glanced at her with a smile, but Tao Yao's mentality was as stable as ever: "If you are not of my race, your heart will be different." I am the princess of the Tang Dynasty in the end, not a person from the same vein, and it is normal for them to be psychologically wary or estranged, just like Sister Hongfu, you can't get along with them. After a slight pause, the woman couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "It's the best state to be able to be hostile, you can't expect everyone to smile at me, or even talk to me very happily, you can't wait to marry Jinlan, right?" "In that case, let alone them, even she can't stand it. So, polite detachment like this is still very good, at least she is not repulsive personally.
That seems to be true, too...... Hongfu was silent for a moment, and finally had to admit that what Tao Yao said was reasonable: "Yes, this time the slave is too careful, and she will definitely not do it again in the future, Your Highness, you can rest assured." It's just that," she looked up at Tao Yao's little face, which had become thinner and thinner recently, and her expression was quite helpless: "Can we not eat over there next time we go to ask An?" Your body has taken a lot of effort to recuperate, and you can't get used to the food here, so you don't have to toss it in vain! It's only been a long time, and I've lost weight again, and if I go on like this, the slave and maid won't have the face to make a difference! ”
"Is it that obvious?" After consciously touching his face, and then disapproving of Hongfu's eyes, Tao Yao could only raise his hand and surrender: "Okay, good, listen to Sister Hongfu!" I'll come back as soon as I'm done in the future, and I definitely won't spend too much time there, okay? "However, she estimates that after what she has done these days, the Empress Dowager Wulu should also know something about her. Thinking that in a few days, she should really be able to stop doing these face-saving efforts.
In fact, she doesn't need Hongfu to remind her to understand that her body is really delicate. Not only is he afraid of cold and heat, but he can't even adapt to a slightly fishy and crude diet, and he will vomit in the dark if he is slightly wrong, which is also the sequelae of poisoning back then. The climate in Tibet is too cold, and the food is not as fine as that of the Tang Dynasty, since she came here, she just wants to stay in the palace to keep warm, and she doesn't want to move at all. But the situation is stronger than people, in order to complete her mission as a princess and relatives, she does not dare to slack off for a day.
