Chapter 160: Strange Fate
Looking at the faces of Wu Mian and these people, Liu Xiu still takes good care of Niu'er. When she reached marriageable age, the emperor began to ask the empress to raise a horse for the princess of the East China Sea. At first, Liu Xiu also thought about asking Wu Mian and whether to return to them, but he searched all over the Han Realm, but there was no news of them. In the end, the emperor made an opinion, and among the few people selected by the queen, he took a fancy to Feng Bao, the son of Feng Yi, Marquis of Xiayang.
Feng Yi is Liu Xiu's close friend, and he also knows that although Ji Susu, the princess of the East China Sea, is not born to the emperor, she is regarded by Liu Xiu as a treasure in her hand. Among the princes and princesses, the monthly case of the princess of the Middle East Sea has always been the first, which shows the emperor's and queen's love for her.
From the day he took over Feng Bao as a concubine, the Feng family began to do a big job. I don't know if it's overwork, but the new colt fell ill three days later. After Feng Bao fell, he did not get up again, although Liu Xiu also sent an imperial doctor to the palace to diagnose the disease. However, Feng Bao still didn't get through it, and died half a month later.
Fortunately, if you don't pass through the door, you can't be considered a member of the Feng family, Liu Xiu recruited Feng Yi into the palace, and after some persuasion, the matter was over. Niu'er also gave the Feng family enough face, she wore plain clothes in the palace, and fasted for a year to be regarded as a year of filial piety to Feng Bao.
Although Feng Bao is dead, Princess Donghai has to marry another. A year later, Liu Xiuyou took a fancy to Deng Weixian, the son of Deng Yu, the Marquis of Taifu Gaomi. Although there was something about Feng Bao before, it was a blessing that he did not become a colt. After Deng Yu received the holy decree, he happily returned home to prepare.
However, Niu'er's wedding doesn't seem to be so simple, Deng Yu wants to please the princess of the East China Sea. A Qifeng Tower was built in the house, and standing on the upper floor, I could already see the scene of the palace, which could be regarded as comforting the princess's longing for the emperor and the queen.
On the day of completion, when Deng Gongzi entered the high-rise building to check, the Qifeng Building suddenly collapsed, pressing Deng Weixian and several servants underneath. The new colt was crushed to death on the spot, and several domestic servants were seriously injured, but they managed to save their lives.
When the news of the tragic death of the new horse reached the palace, Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua felt that things were not so simple. Because she didn't know Niu'er's eight characters herself (the eight characters on the dragon and phoenix stickers were made up by Liu Xiu at the best time.) The emperor also asked a monk to show the face of the princess of the East China Sea. The monks who had seen Niu'er's face all praised the princess's face as a rich and noble appearance, and the two people before were considered unlucky and did not receive the blessing of the princess passing through the door.
Several famous monks said this, and Liu Xiu's heart was relieved. After another year, he began to ask the queen to continue arranging Niu'er's marriage. However, this time things are somewhat troublesome, and the news of Princess Kefu of the East China Sea has been spread to everyone in Luoyang City. The queen mentioned the matter of choosing a horse for Niu'er again, and those dignitaries and dignitaries were all cowardly. It's not that his son is ugly and unworthy of the princess, or that the children in the family are dissolute by nature, and they are afraid that they will wronged the princess.
However, when the emperor's daughter marries, they can't be allowed to do it. At that moment, Liu Xiu personally selected Li Jian, the son of Li Zhong, the Marquis of Zhongshui, as his concubine among the ministers. In order to realize the emperor's grace, Liu Xiu directly crowned Li Jian as the Marquis of Yangming. Since Han Yi came to seal the horse, he was the only one who immediately became a marquis, Li Jian.
At the moment, Li Zhong and Li Jian, father and son, could only take the order hard. In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the two predecessors, Li Jian took a bowl of tonic every day from the day he received the holy decree. The home is just repainted and decorated, neither moving the earth to see the building, nor moving any major projects. Although it seems that the princess has been wronged, there are two precedents before, and even the emperor has nothing to say.
In this way, Li Jian has been staying up for more than a month. Li Zhong was ready to add weight to his son, and when the princess of Donghai was about to marry in a month, Li Jian began to burn incense and bathe every day, praying to God to let him survive this hurdle safely.
When Li Jian burned incense and bathed on the third day, the sound that should not have happened happened. After Li Jian took a bath, when he came out of the bathtub, his feet suddenly slipped and his body fell to the ground. The head smashed impartially on the incense burner, and the head was smashed out of a bloody hole on the spot. After staying up for three days and three nights, he died in agony.
All of a sudden, no one dared to hit the girl's attention. Later, after the matter calmed down, Liu Xiu found two more families for Niu'er. However, the first three times were the same, and each time before the door was passed, the new colt went to the Naihe Bridge to drink the soup in line in line.
However, the emperor still did not give up, and after the fifth life for the horse, Liu Xiu spent a few years finally finding a man with a very hard life to make a horse for Niu'er. The sixth concubine is Wei Qizhong, the grandson of the great Sima Wei Huan during the Ping Emperor period of the previous dynasty, but the current Wei family has fallen, and now Wei Qizhong lives by renting dozens of acres of land in the ancestral industry.
Wei Qi was so loyal that he had a hard fight with Niu'er, and his family also told him a few daughters-in-law. However, it is also necessary to pass the door, the daughter-in-law is not a violent illness, but an accident. After four deaths in a row, no one dared to marry his daughter's daughter to him.
However, Wei Qizhong's character is still good, and Liu Xiu sent someone to inspect it. recruited this person into the palace, and first rewarded an official position of Guanglucheng. Then he ordered the princess of the East China Sea to marry him, and the sudden grace frightened Wei Qizhong, and he didn't know what luck he had. However, in case this person's life is too hard and even affects Niu'er, Liu Xiu has been preparing for a year, and when he saw that nothing happened to Wei Qizhong and Niu'er, he began to prepare for Niu'er's marriage.
The palace has been busy with this matter in the past few days, although this is the sixth time, but the emperor still does it for the first time. Everyone in the palace knew that the emperor and empress loved this princess of the East China Sea, and no one dared to talk nonsense behind her back.
I thought that Niu'er would have this paragraph, but I couldn't figure out how to say that Niu'er was also the reincarnation of Yan's daughter. How could it be that his life was so bad, and why was it only Kefujun, and the neighbors around him had nothing to do.
But this can only be regarded as an episode, at the moment, Wu Mian and Gui are standing at the gate of the palace. He identified himself to the chamberlain who was guarding here and asked to see His Majesty the Emperor. The chamberlain didn't recognize these people, and when they saw that they were not called, they let them leave. In the end, Bai Wuqiu lost his temper and scolded and beat the surrounding Royal Forest Army. The leader of the Imperial Forest Army was an old man who followed Liu Xiu back then, and he never returned. Only then did they settle down, and soon after, Liu Xiu sent the crown prince to welcome them in.
After seeing Liu Xiu, he said a few polite words, and then explained his intentions. After hearing the old guy's words, Liu Xiu was easy to speak. Immediately, he ordered the collection of charts from the East China Sea to the Imperial Palace, and his colleagues ordered people to gather all the official ships on the sea. The private ships that are still collecting trade from the people, and after a rough calculation, there are more than 300 large ships.
However, both things take time, and it takes ten or eight days to collect the charts alone. Fortunately, while they are waiting, they can also take a look at the scene of Niu'er's wedding.
For this reason, I deliberately went to see the girl I hadn't seen for more than ten years. Seeing that the teenage girl had become a slim 'old girl', thinking of the original Yan mourning, the old guy was also embarrassed in his heart. I didn't dare to show up if I didn't return, but after a glance at it from a distance, I disappeared silently.
Three days later, the day of Niu'er's wedding finally arrived. The good things will not return, Bai Wuqiu and Xiao Ren San pulled Wu Mian and Guangzhi, mixed with the palace people who sent the marriage, and sent Niu'er to the horse mansion in the south of Luoyang City.
Wei Qizhong, the concubine, greeted him in front of the mansion early, and when he saw the honor guard of the princess's wedding from a distance, he immediately greeted him with laughter. After greeting the princess out of the sedan chair and seeing Niu'er's flower and moon appearance, she felt that she had taken a big advantage. At that moment, he took the princess's hand and laughed, and after laughing a few times, the person suddenly fell to death in breath. He still kept that smile on his face when he was dying.
