Chapter 41: Marriage

Zhao Lu quickly sent the letter back. One to King An, one to Xiao Dong, and Qin Lie also had one, which was handed over to Xiao Dong to hand over.

Xiao Dong can't take care of anything else, so he will open the letter first.

Zhao Lu and they did not delay all the way, arrived in Taozhou on October 22, stayed in Taozhou City for a day, and arrived at Ye An, where the Pingyuan Army was stationed, on the 24th. There are high walls and two huge stone forts. There were no stones in Ye'an, and the stones used to build the stone fort were all transported from the farther north to dig the rocks and then transport them, which cost a lot of manpower and material resources. The stone fort leans against the Ye'an River, forming a dangerous pass that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Zhao Lu has his own residence, in addition to the guards of the palace he brought over, he also allocated a small team of personal soldiers, and the meals are all sent by the big stove, and the large pieces of meat can't be grasped with one hand, and Zhao Lu's eyes are stunned. The next day he got there, he caught up with the fishing, because the weather in the north was cold and frozen, and now he was in a hurry to catch it, and those fish were hoarding fat to keep out the cold, and all of them were fat and round. He drank the fish soup that night, and he didn't need to put any more condiments, the fish soup was very fresh, and he drank two large bowls.

In short, everything is good and everything is going well, and it is only good news and not bad news.

Whether the journey is hard, whether the situation there is simple and hard, don't say a word.

How could Zhao Lu have eaten that kind of big pot of rice? Accustomed to living in a place like that? Although the Qi clan did not spoil him, he never lost him. The incense smoked in the house is very particular, and it is not bad at all. The first time I went out on a long trip, I went to a place like that.

Xiao Dong was worried that he couldn't sleep well for several nights.

I don't know if it's because of worry, or if she's reached the age of pulling out a tall person, the whole person has lost weight very quickly, and her chin is pointed. But Hu Shi was in a hurry, staring at the kitchen for several days a day to make food, not only the main meal was renovated, but the dim sum was also full of tricks. Steamed dumplings with pumpkin filling, steamed cake with shredded radish, small fish soup, autumn pear jelly. It's a pity that no matter how good things are, even if Xiao Dong eats them with a smile, while eating, he is more and more worried about Zhao Lu There are absolutely no such things to eat outside, and the food is not added to his body at all, and he is still thin.

Even King An began to feel uneasy, so he deliberately took a day out and took Xiaodong out for a walk. The father and daughter went to the Songtao Garden, not far from the Luoxia Pond, to see the chrysanthemums for a long time, in order to make their beloved daughter smile. King An also asked her to put a meadowsweet on top of her head. Dad sacrificed his image so much, and Xiao Dong also felt that he couldn't go. When he went back, King An said: "I won't eat in the house today, let's go to the West Market, the fish made by Taibai Lou there is excellent." ”

"Father has been there?"

"No, I've heard about it."

The fish in Taibailou really tasted very good, and across the pond, there were also kaki playing pipa and singing songs in the pavilion over there. Xiao Dong remembered the first time he went out with Zhao Lu, as well as the Luo family brothers and the Shen family sisters, having dinner in Fuxi Building, and listening to Qin Nu's singing that time.

Xiao Dong drank two glasses of wine with King An and ate a lot of fish belly. As soon as the wind blew out, Xiaodong was a little dizzy and soft. Wang An helped her into the car, Xiao Dong blushed and fanned the wind with his sleeve.

King An looked funny, the weather was already cold, and his fan had already been put away, so he took a book out of the lattice under the seat and gently fanned Xiaodong to cool it down.

Xiao Dong squinted his eyes and watched the book keep shaking in front of him, and the words on the book cover flashed back and forth. Even if it wasn't dizzy, it made it dizzy.

"Why did my father have to send my brother so far away?"

She had asked this before, but the reason given to her by King An was not convincing to her.

King An is not the kind of person who loves the right to form a party, and Taozhou is Wu Xianzhang's territory, which side will Wu Xianzhang stand on now? Fools know it.

King An said before that he had an appointment with the queen in advance, could it be that Zhao Lu's matter was part of the agreement?

What does King An mean is that he and Zhao Lu are supporting the Three Princes?

But the status of the three princes is already very stable, he is the son-in-law, and he can't find fault with his character, knowledge, and talent, and the three princesses are about to give birth. Does the emperor have jerking? But not everyone is as unlucky as the Empress Dowager Shotoku.

Besides, even if the emperor wants to have convulsions, the Li family behind the queen, and the Yue family of the three princes, these people are not all vegetarians.

If King An is also on the side of the three princes, then even if the emperor has convulsions, it will be for nothing.

King An stroked Xiao Dong's hair.

Xiao Dong's eyes were confused, but his brain was not confused.

After a long while, King An did not make a sound. All kinds of noisy sounds outside the car came into his ears from far or near, and Xiaodong was drowsy and almost asleep, only to hear King An say: "You will know soon." ”

The words were very plain, but Xiao Dong heard an unusual meaning from it.

This, what does this mean?

Could it be that there will be a big change in the future?

What kind of big changes can make King An so solemn?

The queen represents one side, King An represents one side, and Wu Xianzhang represents one side.

At the same time, the harem is involved. The court, the great change in the army, what is that? No wonder King An refused to tell her......

Xiao Dong had actually guessed it, she took a deep breath, leaned on King An's shoulder, and didn't say anything.

King An's voice was gentle and peaceful: "I didn't want to tell you, but ...... You've grown up. ”

"Father."

Xiao Dong held King An's hand, and how many words were condensed in this faint title.

She doesn't know anything else, she only knows that King An and Zhao Lu are the people who love her the most in the world, love her, and treat her best.

What they want to do, Xiao Dong will definitely not object.

Even if she can't help, she won't be holding back.

My daughter has indeed grown up.

King An sighed in his heart.

Xiao Dong's composure was beyond his expectations, but her reaction was not surprising to King An.

"That'...... What about the Queen Mother? ”

"Mother's going to be fine."

That's good.

Halfway through, the sky changed, the wind blew, the clouds were stacked and layered, and the sky became a gloomy leaden gray. When I returned to King An's Mansion, the wind was blowing tightly, the sky was almost dark, the lantern in front of the house had been lit, and the words "King An's Mansion" on the lamp were fluttering in the wind.

Because it was King An who took Xiaodong to drink, even if she came back with a drunken body, Hu could only whisper a few words. Serve her to wash and sleep.

Xiaodong hadn't fallen asleep yet, but listened to the sound of window paper.

"Is it raining?"

The maid outside responded: "Yes, does the county want to eat tea?" ”

"No need to ......"

The weather was as cold as a day, and Xiao Dong hurriedly made gloves and boots, and asked someone to bring them to Zhao Lu, counting the days, counting the days when he would receive them. Except for entering the palace twice a month to ask the Queen Mother for peace, she has never been anywhere, Zhao Zhi wrote a post to her again, Xiaodong only asked someone to send food and gadgets over, and she didn't go.

Xiao Dong has already guessed some. The reason why Princess Jing gave Zhao Zhi to people so far away was mostly ...... is also the same as King An's behavior of sending Zhao Lu to the Northwest Army, and there is the same deep meaning behind it.

Zhao Zhi's wedding date is set for the New Year, Xiaodong saw her again during the New Year, Zhao Zhi combed her hairpin bun, swayed diagonally, and looked very quiet from beginning to end, a few sisters who have always been good in the clan used to laugh and joke with her, she was not as cheerful as usual, a little timid.

But she has a good complexion, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows already have a girlish and charming style, her hands are clasped together, she wears a few bracelets on her wrists, and her nails have grown.

In the past, she didn't like to keep her nails the most, not because her nails were broken, but because she scratched something next to her.

Finally finding a vacancy, she pulled Xiaodong to speak in a low voice.

"Why don't you come to see me these days?"

Xiao Dong's reason is ready-made: "The family is strictly controlled, as soon as my brother goes out, Mother Qi and Mother Hu will set rules for me together, and Master Wu's homework will also be tightened." ”

Zhao Zhi knew that the Qi family was powerful, and stuck out her tongue: "No wonder." What do you do at home every day? Not boring either? ”

"It's boring, but it's good to get used to it. What about you? ”

Zhao Zhi can be regarded as catching people complaining: "Don't mention it, my mother found several mothers-in-law to watch me, how to stand and sit, and I can't even go out of the door without embroidering the quota every day, and I am locked in the house every day." ”

"There's no way around it," Xiao Dong comforted her: "Now your mother doesn't restrict your temperament, and when you get married in the future, in front of your in-laws, will you still be crazy?" ”

"What are you talking about?" The two words of in-laws stabbed Zhao Zhi's face red, and she clenched her pink fist and gave Xiao Dong a few blows: "Hmph, little girl, don't talk about me, you will have this day sooner or later, don't blame me for laughing at you when the time comes." ”

The two sat down quietly again, Xiao Dong looked up over there, the fifth princess still had a veil on her face, and she didn't move anything on the banquet. Her marriage was delayed. The sixth princess couldn't talk about marriage, she sat there, although there were a few people around her who were flattering, but she looked like she was happy. The Seventh Princess sat back and kept her head down and kept eating.

The three princes and the three princesses are radiant, the three princesses have a male child, and after becoming a mother, their faces and figures are much plumper than before, holding a high beard, wearing a full set of the princess's clothes, sitting in a precarious position, Xiaodong just wants to say, the queen's vision is really good, this daughter-in-law picked, and now she is already very queen-like. On the other hand, the second princess, although she is dressed the same as the third princess, is like a stolen dress, and she can't support her momentum at all.

Xiao Dong retracted his gaze, honestly finished the palace banquet, and returned to the house with King An. It had just snowed, and the ground was full of Qiongyao, and a layer of frost had formed on the dead trees, falling heavily, and the wind blew, and a tree of ice shook gently.

King An asked her, "Why don't you speak?" ”

"I'm thinking about my brother, Ye An must be very cold at this time, and I don't know if he can get used to it."

Zhao Zhi's wedding day was not pompous, the word ten miles of red makeup is very appropriate here, the queue carrying the dowry is not visible to the head and backward, the tail is not visible, the mighty and joyful, the entire Anle Fang is shaken. The fat powder on Princess Jing's face couldn't cover the redness and swelling of her eyes, but she had been calm and calm, calmly commanding and dispatching, and when she went out, Zhao Zhi cried bitterly, but Princess Jing's face showed a relieved look.
