Chapter 9 Jealousy and the White Rabbit

Wei Ziqi, who left early in the morning, didn't know anything about what happened in Zhaoxuan Palace, but the three royal brothers didn't know the severity, angered their father, and were heavily punished.

In the early morning of the next day, Wei Ziqi, Wei Ziyan and King Shou were summoned to the Longde Hall to participate in the court meeting. Wei Ziyan looked at the third royal brother who was standing under him, with a "haggard" face, and couldn't help but show a smile, and Wei Ziqi also smiled silently. However, what happened next made the two fall into an ice cellar.

As soon as the ministers saw the ceremony, Prime Minister Shang Rong, Taishi Wenzhong, Shangdafu Mei Bo, Zhao Qi and other important ministers went to the book together, on the grounds that King Shou was the concubine of the queen of the East Palace, and asked the Son of Heaven to be the prince.

After Emperor Yi announced King Lishou as the crown prince in public, he planned to hold a formal canonization ceremony two months later, so that all the princes came to congratulate him, and at the same time issued a decree to give marriage, and the young daughter of Wuwei General Huang Roll was promised to the prince as a side room, and the marriage was completed. As soon as the imperial order for marriage came out, Huang Luan, who had just expressed his objection to supporting King Lishou as the crown prince, suddenly became dumbfounded, his face became extremely complicated, and in the end he could only honestly thank the emperor.

Wei Zi Qi looked at everything that happened with a dead face, as if he had experienced a hellish nightmare, although he didn't understand what happened in the Zhaoxuan Hall after he and Wei Ziyan left last night, but the cruel truth was already in front of him - whether it was in the battle for the heir to the throne or the belonging of the beauty, he was defeated, and he was defeated.

Wei Ziyan, whose mood had fallen to the bottom, mechanically knelt down with the ministers to worship the pilgrimage, his expression was dull, and he didn't seem to know what to do.

After retiring from the court, Zhang Zixing followed Di Yi to the temple to perform a dizzy and tedious ritual before being released back into the mansion.

"Welcome to His Royal Highness the Prince!" As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Zixing saw the Jiang family and the Yang family leading the crowd to congratulate, and the two daughters had already received the news that he had been promoted to the crown prince.

"Two good wives, get up quickly. Zhang Zixing was in a good mood, stepped forward to help the two wives with smiles on their faces, and took advantage of the fact that those subordinates did not dare to get up, and secretly touched Jiang's buttocks like a mischief. Jiang Wenqiang didn't expect him to dare to take advantage of himself in such a public occasion, and almost exclaimed, but because of the large number of subordinates, he didn't dare to make a sound, so he had to bite his lip and give him a fierce look, which made Yang snicker on the side.

Everyone came to the backyard Hundred Garden, where there was a sumptuous banquet that had been prepared for a long time, and many of the dishes were cooked by Jiang and Yang.

"The concubine salutes His Royal Highness, congratulations to His Royal Highness the Prince," Jiang Wenqiang raised her glass and walked up to him and said, "I heard that Miss Huang is beautiful and generous, virtuous and virtuous, and she will definitely be able to become His Highness's virtuous helper." ”

Although Jiang Wenqiang had a sweet smile on her face, Zhang Zixing still heard a little sour taste in her tone, even in the ancient times of polygamy, even those women who were known for their "virtuous and reasonable" could not hope from the bottom of their hearts that there would be one more woman who shared her husband with her.

Zhang Zixing was embarrassed, and it was difficult to refuse, so he had to take it and drink it, Yang Jiu sighed lightly: it was difficult to hide the loss in his heart: "His Royal Highness is only afraid that there will be thousands of concubines, and then our sisters are only afraid that it will be difficult to even meet His Royal Highness." ”

"Sister, don't talk nonsense!" Jiang knew that today was a day of great joy, for fear that Zhang Zixing would be displeased, so he hurriedly said: "This is the beauty of the Son of Heaven's sincerity and benevolence, and it is specially intended to marry, and the intention is quite deep, and it is of great benefit to His Highness and harmless." We should follow the example of Empress E, serve Her Royal Highness well, and after the Huang family's sister passes through the door, we must get along with her and not conflict. If Your Highness becomes the Son of Heaven in the future, it is common for her to marry a concubine and extend the bloodline of the Great Shang, how can my sister not understand the general situation?"

Jiang Wenqiang is worthy of being the daughter of Dongbohou, she can see the benefits of marrying with Huangmen at a glance, and her bearing and mind are also extraordinary, no wonder she can be in charge of the harem as the queen, and she is deeply respected by the concubines.

Yang Jiu is not a jealous person, he is also a side room, he is naturally used to polygamy, just now he just felt it, nodded and said: "What my sister said is very true, Jiu'er knows that it is wrong, please don't worry about it, Your Highness." ”

Hearing Yang Jiu's apology, Zhang Zixing was full of emotion: The ancient female surname was really a victim of polygamy, and she only knew how to accept it, but in fact, what was wrong with her? Jiang's and Yang's fate in the novel were very tragic, Jiang's fate in the novel was very tragic, Jiang's as the queen, but Daji and Fei Zhong framed and assassinated the king of Zhou, and was tortured to death, and Yang's grief for her husband's ruthlessness also hanged herself. Zhang Zixing looked at the sisters' slightly frightened expressions, and secretly vowed in his heart that he would never let this tragedy happen in the future.

"Jiu'er, you and Wen Qiang are my treasures, how can I be reluctant to be annoyed?" Jiang and Yang heard such sweet words, their hearts were relieved, and they couldn't help blushing, only to hear him say again: "Two beloved wives don't have to be jealous, who is the husband! How can you forget this newspaper?"

In the Shang Dynasty, vinegar came out, and it was also called "vinegar", Yang Shiqi said: "The taste of vinegar is sour, my sister and I don't like to eat it, why did my husband say this?"

Zhang Zixing remembered that the word "jealousy" originated in the Tang Dynasty in later generations, and the two daughters naturally didn't know it, so they told them this story.

Fang Xuanling, the famous minister of the Tang Dynasty, was deeply used by Taizong Li Shimin, but he was famous for his fear of the inside. As soon as he said, Tang Taizong invited the founding fathers to the imperial banquet, and the drunk Fang Xuanling couldn't stand the teasing of his colleagues, and blew a few words about the cowhide that he was not afraid of his wife. Fang Xuanling unexpectedly bragged after drinking and was taken seriously by the emperor, so he had no choice but to accept the two beauties, thinking of his domineering and careful care of his wife, he was so worried that he didn't know what to do. It was still Wei Chi Jingde who was cheered up, saying that no matter how fierce his wife was, he didn't dare to do anything about the beauties given by the emperor, so Fang Xuanling carefully brought the two beauties home.

Unexpectedly, Fang Xuanling's wife didn't care so much, and when she saw Fang Xuanling bring back two beautiful young concubines, she was furious, quarreled and scolded, and even got up a feather duster and feathers to fight. Fang Xuanling saw that something was wrong, so he had to send the beauty out of the house. After Li Shimin learned about it, he wanted to suppress the arrogance of the prime minister's wife, so he immediately summoned the prime minister Fang Xuanling and his wife to ask for the guilt.

After the couple arrived, Tang Taizong pointed to the two beauties and a jar of "poisonous wine" and said, let Mrs. Fang choose, one is to bring back the two beauties to live together, and the other is to lead the crime of resisting the decree and drink the poisoned wine to return to the West. Fang Xuanling knew that his wife's surname was Lie, and he was afraid that his wife would drink poisonous wine, so he knelt down and pleaded for mercy. Li Shimin said angrily: "As the prime minister of the dynasty, you disobey the order and dare to say more!"

Mrs. Fang saw that the matter had come to this, looked at the face of the second daughter, and knew that she was old and decrepit, once the two daughters entered the house, she would sooner or later have to take the road of disobedience to the order, rather than being angry and dying, it was better to drink this jar of poisonous wine. Before Tang Taizong could urge again, Mrs. Fang raised the jar of poisonous wine and drank it all. Fang Xuanling was so anxious that he burst into tears, hugging his wife and sobbing, but all the courtiers laughed together, it turned out that the jar was not filled with poisonous wine but vinegar from Jinyang Qingyuan, which was not poisonous at all. Tang Taizong sighed for a while and took back his fate. Since then, the word "jealousy" has become synonymous with jealousy among women.

Zhang Zixing advanced the time of the story to the previous dynasty, and the names were slightly changed, Jiang Wenqiang and Yang Jiu listened attentively, and the final result made the two daughters angry.

"Rest assured, although the concubine is not talented, she is not a jealous woman, and in the future of the inner courtyard, the concubine will do her best to mediate and not let the husband work hard. Jiang Wenqiang said in an affirmative tone, in the future, this promise is really reflected in her actions.

Zhang Zixing was moved for a while, and when he saw the two white rabbits squatting in the corner of the hundred gardens, he felt a feeling in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "The white rabbit is running around, the clothes are not as good as new, and the people are not as good as the old." Please relax the two good wives, no matter how many women I have in the future, Zixing (Zixin) will never live up to the love of husband and wife. ”

The four sentences of "White Rabbit" are the "Ancient Yan Song" in the Later Han Dynasty, also known as the "Ancient Grievance Song", although there are only a few numbers, but they are entangled in mian grievances, which are easy to resonate, Zhang Zixing can plagiarize and pirate no matter what, and twist it with his hands. The two daughters had never heard such a moving sentence, and Empress Jiang chewed the meaning carefully, and couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and the Yang family was even more tearful.

The two girls suddenly exclaimed at the same time, it turned out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had disregarded etiquette, and in front of those servant girls, he picked up his two sisters in broad daylight and strode towards the dormitory - the legendary "Bai Yue Xuanyin"!

Soon after, the sound of mian moaning in the dormitory continued, but fortunately, the servants had already retreated.

A few days later, Wucheng General Huang Feihu suddenly came to visit and invited His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go hunting in the eastern suburbs. Zhang Zixing had already had the intention of meeting this future brother-in-law and king of Zhenguo Wucheng, and readily agreed at the moment.

The two took a group of generals and galloped all the way to the eastern suburbs.

"Your Highness's courage is amazing, the Feiyun Pavilion joists change the columns, and the Xianqing Hall is upside down, which can be described as unparalleled in the world," Huang Feihu slowed down his mount and saluted Zhang Zixing: "What makes Feihu unexpected is that His Highness's riding skills are also so good, controlling the horse and galloping like walking on the ground, which really makes the last general embarrassed." ”

At that time, cavalry had been widely used in warfare, and there was a slight difference from the historical chariots, especially the most powerful dog riding skills in Western Xinjiang, known as the "nation on horse", somewhat similar to the Xiongnu of the Han Dynasty. (After all, the pig's foot is reborn in parallel space and not strictly history)

"Haha! The general has won the award, His Royal Highness just has some brute strength, how can he compare to the general's martial arts?" Zhang Zixing was naturally very happy to get Huang Feihu's compliment, "I have tried my best to gallop, but the general has always followed behind me unhurriedly, I guess if it weren't for this prince's vacancy, I would have been pulled away by the general." ”

"Why should Your Highness be modest, the last general just took advantage of this mount," Huang Feihu patted the five-colored sacred cow under the seat, "This cow is an ancient xenomorph, quite a divine horse, it was accidentally obtained when the last general and the Taishi rebelled, but it can be said that he has traveled thousands of miles tirelessly, on the other hand, His Highness can drive ordinary horses and drive them together, which is the real ability!"

Zhang Zixing shook his head, pointed to the object under him and said, "Actually, this is not my ability, but the magic of this thing." ”
