Acting in the Sui and Tang Dynasties

After a while, Qionghua's legs and feet were almost back to normal, and Jiji officially got her title again.Of course, everyone, Qionghua, is used to calling Qionghua, and the title and so on will appear in the official edict.

Although she had escaped death twice, but this time she did not dare to relax at all.The underworld would simply come up with a dungeon story that had nothing to do with the original from time to time. "Life" cannot be fast-forwarded, so we have to continue to live, and the soldiers come to cover up the water and the earth.Empress Dugu's illness was intermittent, and all the imperial physicians were the same, saying over and over again that she was resting and not worrying about troubles.

Qionghua sat by the bed, lowered her head and played with the accessories on her clothes, "What kind of folk food does the empress want? My son bought it from outside the palace."

"Unexpectedly, I, Dugu Jialuo, will be assertive and strong all my life, but I will also be affected by illness one day." Queen Dugu smiled wryly and shook her head, "Qioner, do you know what the palace people are chewing on?"

Qionghua was puzzled and looked at the queen mother curiously.

"Don't look at me lying here and can't move. I don't know anything about the harem. Now they are saying that the queen is just bullying the weak and fearing the hard. The Chen family has a title and can't touch her. Only dare to let the Yuchi family do it. The soul of the dead under the knife."

In fact, Qionghua seems to understand a little bit.According to her understanding, regardless of whether it was out of love or possessiveness, Queen Dugu made Yang Jian swear to have no different sons in the early years. It certainly did not mean that he should take contraceptive measures when sleeping with other girls, but actually made him swear that he would never sleep in this life. other girls.The young couple were newlyweds, Yaner, with deep feelings. Yang Jian was only a young man at that time, so he naturally agreed.

Then, many, many years passed, and Yang Jian experienced the period of powerful ministers, and became emperor when he was middle-aged and old.Once you become an emperor, you will have a harem system. If you see more women, you will inevitably sleep with your sister.Yang Jian may still be complacent after sleeping with a girl. Self-brainwashing is just sleeping with a girl. He has not had children with other women, and he has not violated his vows to his wife. She is still the only true love.Although Dugu Jialuo reformed the harem system, he couldn't stop Yang Jian from sleeping with his sister legally, so he could only turn a blind eye and close one eye to effectively control it.The husband and wife both thought that they were benevolent and righteous, and both felt that they were aggrieved to accommodate each other. Finally, one day, Yang Jian slept with a girl who was not in the establishment, so the problem broke out.

This story explained a lot of truths, and Qionghua didn't have time to sum it up.At this time, I have to say a few words of comfort to my mother.

"What are you mother and daughter whispering? Tell us too." Yang Jian and Yang Guang walked in one after the other.

Smart women know when to let things go.Dugu Jialuo held his daughter's hand, and smiled faintly, "Qiong'er's marriage must be settled as soon as possible. If my sudden incident happened, she might be too tired to delay her for a year. But our Dugu family is really Xianbei. There is no such mourning rule..."

"Queen." Yang Jian felt a little sad when he heard this.

"Mother, this is just a minor illness. The imperial doctor said that you will recover after a few days of recuperation." Yang Guang took out a stack of papers from his sleeve, "I still have something to ask my mother to decide. Khan's envoy came to Beijing yesterday and said that Princess Anyi passed away last year. The emperor has decided to marry another princess among the clan girls, but I don't know which of these younger sisters is suitable."

To marry another princess is as easy as sending a dish of food.Marriage policy is a common policy of Huaimin since ancient times. In the Han Dynasty, it was more common to marry court ladies, while later generations were more generous and married women of the same surname.In fact, in the final analysis, no emperor is willing to harm his own daughter, so he went to harm other people's daughters openly.The routines are the same, praise you for your beauty and virtuousness, make you a princess, live in the palace for a few days, add officials to your family, and then send you to live in the days when the wind is blowing and the grass is low, and the cattle and sheep are low. I will send you some gifts to express the court's praise.

Of course, Qionghua is not qualified to think about these things.In this matter, she belongs to the protected real princess, and she is also the so-called marriageable age in this era, so she was excluded from the option of marriage from the very beginning.

"Nowadays there is civil strife in Turkic, we have to send it to a town where we can live." Dugu Jialuo reached out for the list sent by Yang Guang, "It seems that there are not many of them who are of marriageable age. Yu'er, who is backed by the Wang family, is in better health." ?"

"I originally wanted to talk about Sister Yu, because I was afraid that my mother would think that I was not willing to marry you. In fact, Sister Yu is beautiful, intelligent, and quick-witted. She is really a candidate for a marriage."

He even said he wasn't wearing small shoes... Yang Guang is really...

"Brother Huang, this is the only daughter among the twelve adopted sons of the King of the Mountain. If you want her to marry Turkic far away, isn't this going to cut off the heart of my uncle?" Qionghua yelled carelessly.

"Speaking of this, Zhezi came to Dengzhou a few days ago and asked when Yu'er would go back? He said that he never returned to Dengzhou, so there might be some accident. I don't know if he has found it now." Yang Jian sat in front of Qionghua. on the edge of the bed, to see the list in Dugu's hand, "Let's find someone else!"

Qionghua did vaguely remember that Yang Yuer was in trouble once and was rescued by Qin Qiong.Forgot about the timeline.

"I'll let Mrs. Xiao inspect the selection of relatives. She should also have some experience and learn these things." Queen Dugu handed the paper in her hand to Yang Guang.

**

Qionghua touched the oily paper bag in her hand with a chestnut fragrance in satisfaction, paid the boss, and then turned around, and was knocked and scattered all over the ground.

The instigator, the richly dressed woman, continued to ram other people around. This action successfully attracted the attention of the patrolling guards of Dali Temple. When the woman saw the guards, she cried out for help as if she had seen a life-saving straw: "Someone wants to kill me!"

Everyone looked in the direction she pointed, and they saw a thin woman chasing after her with a kitchen knife, "Don't hide if you can!"

"Yang Shu, you will be punished for insulting your aunt like this!" The woman hiding behind the guard poked her head out to talk to the visitor, seeming to gain some confidence.

The woman who was chasing people with a knife became even more anxious when she heard this, and said in a pooh voice: "Which kind of aunt are you?"

"Take them all back to Dali Temple!" The leader of the patrol guard stretched out his hand to call for people to arrest them.

The young woman threw away the kitchen knife in her hand, but her aura remained undiminished. She sneered and said, "I am the daughter of the clan. Even if I violate the laws of the country, I will be disciplined by the sect. No one else can."

"The concubine's husband is the Duke of Gaoling County, and he is of the same clan as His Majesty today, so he is not allowed to enter the government office." After the woman who was hunted down adjusted her headdress, she was not to be outdone.

"Then go to Zongzheng Temple." Those who can patrol the streets of Chang'an are not ordinary people. Faced with such "imperial relatives and relatives", they quickly found a solution.

After seeing everyone leave, the old man who sells sugar-fried chestnuts walked out of the stall, bent down and picked up the chestnuts one by one, and handed them to Qionghua, "Miss, take them back and wash them, it won't interfere with eating."

"Thank you, old man!" Qionghua took the chestnut and glanced in the direction of the crowd, "A lot of people are going to watch the excitement!"

"It's nothing to look at. Those who are chased and beaten are not necessarily poor people, and those who want to hurt the mother-in-law with a knife are not necessarily guilty of a heinous crime."

"What's going on?" Qionghua knew that there were all kinds of news about street vendors. Of course, everyone has a different opinion on whether it is true.Just listen to gossip at this time.

I just heard the old man say: "This matter is a long story. Yang Xie, the Duke of Gaoling County, is the distant younger brother of the Holy Majesty. The royal family and nobles all avoided the clan of the previous dynasty, and the county magistrate and his wife were newly married, so they naturally refused to leave. But after a few years, Yuwen's family has grown older and has never had a boy. With a false job, I gradually lost my mind. Outsiders don't know about Neiligen. They only know that when the girl with the knife was 7 or 8 years old, she abandoned Ronghua and her same mother and sister in the mansion, and followed her mother out of the mansion to live in Shangtang there. So, the mansion often gave alms, the mother and daughter, chopping firewood, buying vegetables, washing, washing and cooking, learned everything. Mrs. Yuwen taught her daughter to read and write in her free time. Raised to be beautiful, not much worse than the girls in the mansion."

"I think the woman who was hunted down was married to the queen of the county. So she claimed to be the aunt, but Yang Shu didn't recognize her. I just don't know what conflict between the two of them?"

"This outsider doesn't know about it. The neighbors have watched the girl grow up since they were young, and they know that she is a human being, and she will definitely not be like this for no reason. It's just that if you enter Zongzheng Temple this time, you may be charged with insulting your aunt. .” The old man shook his head helplessly, as if it was a pity.

"If they know that the so-called feasting of the daughter-in-law is to choose someone to marry, I'm afraid they can't wait to eat me alive." Xiao Meiniang let the maid put on makeup in the inner room, lazily chatting with Yang Guang.

Yang Guang waved away the maidservant who was holding a mirror and brushing her hair, and took an eyebrow pencil and sat down in front of Meiniang, "Qionghua is a cunning little girl, she knew she was going to choose a fake princess this time, so she hid far away, and said Why go to buy some folk gadgets for my mother, because I am afraid of being hated by others."

"I can't trust His Majesty's hand!" Xiao Meiniang glanced at Yang Guang affectionately, grabbed the eyebrow pencil in his hand, and drew it in front of the mirror, "This is called knowing the current affairs. Your Majesty obviously has a daughter, but he wants someone else's daughter to go." Marriage, which sect daughter will have no complaints?"

"You said my silly sister, has she become smarter recently?" Yang Guang picked up the rouge cream again and handed it to Amy Xiao.

"Luluo said that there is nothing unusual about the princess returning safely. It doesn't matter if she is smarter in other areas. As long as she has His Highness as a brother in her heart, and there is no grudge between siblings, she may be able to help His Highness instead!"

"It's still Aifei who thinks clearly." Yang Guang smiled slightly, leaned close to the beauty's ear, and opened his mouth to take a bite unexpectedly.

Xiao Meiniang stroked Yang Guang's neck with her hand back, humming charmingly.

Yang Guang's sudden "closeness" has never been light in strength, but Xiao Meiniang can always turn these into the love of husband and wife in the blink of an eye.

This is Xiao Meiniang's first major event after she became the crown princess, and she herself attaches great importance to it.In the name of hosting a banquet for the clan daughters, the unmarried clan daughters gathered together and the artist secretly painted portraits of the clan daughters. At the banquet, they took a big test on their talents and observed their manners. After two days, they actually selected a few more satisfactory ones.Although Empress Dugu said that she had full power to choose, Xiao Meiniang was careful and left three with similar qualifications for the empress to make the final choice.

On this day, Qionghua, who had finished talking with her mother, came out of the house and saw the maid behind Xiao Meiniang holding a scroll, clamoring to see the beauty.

"This one looks good, wow! That one looks good too! Of course it's inferior to the concubine's wife," Qionghua looked at the flower roll unfolded by the maid, and saw the person in the portrait smiling like a flower, and exclaimed, "They themselves are willing to kiss each other." ?”

Xiao Meiniang had long been enthralled by Qionghua's more exaggerated words, and said with a smile: "The person in the painting doesn't know it yet, but after the queen mother decides, the emperor father will directly make an order!"

"How did you find the queen's wife?"

"Referring to the appearance of the concubine selection in the previous dynasty, appearance and talent are indispensable. I thought, in this Turkic and barbaric land, the women are all tough and strong. Going to a flower-like beauty is fresh!"

"Sister-in-law." Qionghua pulled Xiao Meiniang and whispered, "I told you that you don't mind, I heard that the Princess Anyi we sent the year before last was also a weak beauty who knew everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she wasn't there After staying for a few days, the people will disappear. In that harsh place, if you want me to say that appearance and talent are not the key, the body is easy to think about, and it would be better if things are more aggressive. If you really want to send a flower to the grassland, it’s not a sheep Enter the tiger's mouth?"

Yesterday, I received a sub-task: let Yang Shu, the girl I met on the street that day, be fished out from Zongzheng Temple and sent to be married.

It just happened that Empress Dugu asked Qionghua to walk with Xiao Meiniang more, which coincided with her own thoughts.Let Xiao Mei Niang handle this matter perfectly, so as to really build a good relationship with her.After all, everyone is hanging out in this Daxing Palace, and they have no direct interests.

"In this way, these few are really inappropriate. Princess Anyi died within a few days after arriving in East Turk. Although her family members didn't say anything, they were always unhappy. If similar things happen again, it will inevitably be cold The hearts of the clan members." Xiao Meiniang looked at several portraits in comparison, and recalled the words and deeds of those clan daughters, but the more she thought about it, the more inappropriate she became, and she was really grateful for Qionghua, "Fortunately, my sister reminded me, otherwise I made a big mistake."

"Emperor's sister-in-law doesn't have to be polite, but do you have a candidate in your heart?"

Xiao Meiniang ordered the maid to put away the portrait, and walked back with Qionghua on her arm, "I'm afraid I have to reconsider this matter, my sister has to help me."

"Sister-in-law, you know that I've always been troublesome. This time I'm married. It's true that the chosen one has to thank the emperor for his kindness, but he can't help complaining in his heart. Naturally, I, a 'true princess', can avoid it as much as I can."

"Of course I know. It's just that the time is urgent, and the people around me are all ignorant. They are really devastated and have no clue. My sister helped me this time, and I will remember it in my heart."

What you want is your words.
