King Qin won the first battle.

The news of the Tang army's capture of Cijian reached the capital as soon as possible.

The emperor was overjoyed.

At the same time as the good news was presented to the emperor, it was the King of Qin's request for the Northern Expedition to Dou Jiande.

In the early days of the Crown Prince, he had opposing views with the ministers of the main battle, arguing with reason, and finally vetoed the resolution to expand the front.

In the war everywhere, the demand for grain and grass is extremely great, and the manpower and material resources consumed have increased exponentially, so we can only increase the intensity of conscription and grain conscription among the people.

This is the reason why the prince declared peace with Dou Jiande.

The reason he said to the emperor in private was: "Father, with the momentum of King Qin, if you take the northern land again, that is the greatest hero of this dynasty!" ”

The implication is that the King of Qin will definitely be a master.

Of course, the emperor knows these stakes, a Luocheng in the east, and a Youzhou in the north, if the king of Qin can take it alone, it is enough to establish himself as the king!

Having said that, even if King Qin has no selfish intentions, the emperor also has his own concerns, and the grain, grass, soldiers and horses are delivered to King Qin one by one, and the successive victories will also fuel King Qin's arrogance.

Therefore, the prince fought with the ministers in the main hall, and the emperor adopted silence, which was also another way to tell the courtiers that he supported the prince!

In the end, the emperor sent the prince's cronies and staff to be ministers and ministers, brought a number of treasures and several beauties, and set off for the north.

Although Princess Pingyang does not go to court, she listens to the six roads, and all the battle reports are known.

After careful consideration, Princess Pingyang refused to participate in the war negotiations on the grounds that she was unwell and only recuperated in the capital.

"Jin'er, out of sight is pure." Princess Pingyang seemed to be unimpressed: "This is conducive to pregnancy, right?" ”

Zhang Jinwen compiled the meals and soup since the opening of the Xinglin Pavilion into a book of "Qianjin Food", which was used as a teaching material to explain health preservation to Princess Pingyang.

The way of health preservation lies first in calming the mind and being upright.

Princess Pingyang has a lot of worries, and although her diet has been reconciled by Zhang Jin's wife, her belly still has no movement.

Zhang Jinwen followed the teachings of her ancestors, in addition to being healthy, a woman who is conceived also needs to be happy and comfortable in order to give birth to a healthy baby, so she often reminds Princess Pingyang not to ask about political affairs.

It was Princess Pingyang who had this question.

When Zhang Jinwen arrived at the princess's mansion, she heard that King Qin's first battle flag was victorious, and she was happy in her heart, and said to Princess Pingyang: "Your Royal Highness Princess, out of sight is pure, but pure in heart." ”

Princess Pingyang sighed, her heart is pure, but she can't do it when she says it: "Only monks will have a pure heart, right?" ”

Zhang Jinwen said with a smile: "If the monks don't have enough meals and sleep in the open air, they won't be able to be clean. ”

Princess Pingyang was worried: "What will happen if you are not pure?" ”

Zhang Jinwen thought for a while: "Your Highness, when the ancestor studied "Su Wen", he said that the growth of the fetus will only be good if a woman is healthy and happy. Just like flowers and trees, in places with abundant rain and sunshine, they will grow very well and do not produce insects. ”

In the era when there was no Bichao, pregnancy was like betting on luck, whether there was a genetic disease or whether the limbs were sound only knew when they were born, and it was luck to give birth to a boy or a girl, and it was even more luck to be healthy or not.

In a society where women are not valued, attaching importance to prenatal education is something that only people who know how to read and understand medicine will pay attention to.

The vast majority of people are resigned to fate by chance.

Princess Pingyang frowned slightly: "Jin'er, you wrote me so many recipes, I don't seem to be very happy." ”

Zhang Jinwen asked rhetorically: "Your Royal Highness Princess, what is the most pleasant thing you have ever done?" ”

This question stopped Princess Pingyang at once.

After a while, Princess Pingyang threw the question back to Zhang Jinwen: "Then what is the most pleasant thing you have ever done?" ”

A smile appeared on Zhang Jin's face: "As long as I am with General Zhou, I am very happy." ”

Princess Pingyang can only hehe: "......"

Women are like this before they get married, they have no sense of responsibility, they don't have to wait for their in-laws, they don't have the open and secret competition between their aunts and sisters-in-law, just think about their lovers, and it's hell if they are unhappy.

Seeing that Princess Pingyang's face was pale, Zhang Jinwen put away her smile: "Your Royal Highness Princess, General Chai speaks funny, why don't you let Master Ma tell you a joke every day?" ”

Princess Pingyang's smile was a little reluctant: "General Chai's words, only you find them funny." ”

Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, Princess Pingyang and Chai Shao respect each other like ice, they can't talk about it at all, where will they listen to any jokes or not.

If it weren't for being a royal and still having a heavy burden on her shoulders, Princess Pingyang would have become a monk a long time ago.

Zhang Jinwen knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she quietly stepped aside to make tea.

Princess Pingyang was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Jin'er, enter the palace with me tomorrow, I want to ask the emperor to go to the Louguan Platform to pray for blessings." ”

When the princess went out of the city, the battle was not small, and she had to be allowed to go out.

Zhang Jinwen was secretly happy, and simmered the red dates and wolfberry tea soup thoroughly before pouring it out into the tea bowl.

Princess Pingyang raised her eyebrows: "Jin'er, have you been to Louguantai?" ”

Zhang Jinwen nodded: "The pill last time, with the help of the Daoist of Pingding, was able to successfully pick the grass." ”

Princess Pingyang nodded her forehead: "Look at my memory, I don't remember such a big thing." ”

Zhang Jinwen also wants to be with the princess more and see what she is worried about, so that she can prescribe the right medicine.

Perhaps, I can see Shizu again in the Louguantai, and ask Shizu to prescribe a recipe for Princess Pingyang, and she will learn a few more hands.

It wasn't until she went upstairs to the viewing platform, saw the Taoist chief of Pingding, and sat down to listen to the Taoist chief lecture on the Tao Te Ching, and Zhang Jinwen saw the joy of Princess Pingyang for the first time.

In the words of Princess Pingyang, it is "a matter of dying at night".

Even, Princess Pingyang secretly proposed to the Taoist of Pingding that she wanted to become a monk.

Zhang Jinwen was very surprised: "Your Royal Highness Princess, didn't you say that the emperor didn't allow it?" ”

She felt that Princess Pingyang became a little willful when she left the capital, which made her feel very strange and inexplicably kind.

Princess Pingyang's eyes were filled with tears: "In my life, I have never been willful, and I have always obeyed the emperor's will." ”

Even if he is married, he is still mentioning the emperor.

"What did the Taoist Governor of Pingding say?"

"The Taoist chief persuaded me to stay for the Chai family."

It's the duty of a wife.

In fact, whether you are a monk or not, you have to bear the responsibility.

"How does Her Highness the Princess decide?"

"Alas, I have fulfilled my responsibilities as a daughter, and now I have to fulfill my responsibilities as a wife, and I can be willful if I fulfill my responsibilities as a mother for another two years."

Princess Pingyang seemed to have made up her mind, and said it very tragically.

Before going down the mountain, the Taoist of Pingding told Princess Pingyang a Tao Te Ching, and Zhang Jinwen happened to follow the wind and rain to pick the roots of the cliff cypress tree, and missed.

However, the trip to Louguantai was particularly magical, and Princess Pingyang was pregnant less than two months after returning to the capital.
