The Three Kingdoms of the Widow

April [-]th, the second year of Wei Huangchu——readers must forgive the year name at this point in time. I believe Liu Bei is unwilling to record the time of his ascension in this way, but the problem is that he has no other options besides Cao Pi’s year name at this time— ——Liu Bei is the emperor in Chengdu, the title of the country is still "Han", changed to Yuan Zhangwu, Zhuge Liang was appointed prime minister, Xu Jing was appointed Situ, and other people have their own rewards, we will not go into details, anyway, I guess there are none Several people are interested in these contents.

There is nothing to say about the previous dynasty, so let's talk about the harem. Liu Bei made his concubine Wu, who is Wu Yi's younger sister, the queen, his son Liu Chan the prince, and his son Liu Yong the king of Lu.

Wait, there's still something missing.

Where is the princess?

Liu Chan has indeed grown up, and he should have a harem too.

This question is also very serious. Liu Bei asked his son, then asked Xu Jing, then asked Li Yan, and finally called several important ministers together to ask: Zhuqing, do you have a suitable candidate for the crown princess?Tell me one.

Xu Jing knew the reason and asked: This matter is too important, it seems that Your Majesty missed inviting the prime minister to discuss this matter?

...Wen Xiu, do you now know why I hated you back then?

What else is there to discuss? Isn't the ready-made candidate obvious!

Everyone spoke in unison.

"Zhuge Jin."

When Liu Bei came to the door for the second time, the gatekeepers were still panicked.

The last time the King of Hanzhong visited Zhuge's military adviser's mansion, this time His Majesty the Emperor came to visit Zhuge's prime minister's mansion.

The gatekeeper wondered if I should expect him to do it again?

Save it.

Zhuge Liang listened to Liu Bei's explanation of his visit, but remained silent for a long time.

"Kong Ming?" Liu Bei tentatively said, "This time I propose to A Dou."

"Your Majesty can just send someone to the palace to discuss, why bother to come in person?"

"Uh..." Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang who was leaning on the backrest. It's better not to let her run around at this time, "I think that if the edict is issued, the emperor orders the ministers. If Kong Ming disagrees, it's not good." Refused; now, I am fortunate enough to be here, and discuss with Kong Ming about the marriage of children, if it succeeds, everyone will be happy, if not, there is no taboo to speak out in person." Just like ordinary people, they are kind and warm to match up their children.

That's what I said, but the emperor's willingness to come here in person proves that fear is not enough.

"If your Majesty wanted to ask my minister's opinion, then I said: I have no objection. I have only this woman in my life. She is pampered and spoiled. I don't want to force the marriage. If she wants to, I will take orders immediately; if she doesn't want to, I hope His Majesty will not make things difficult."

"Then..." Liu Bei wanted to say, why don't you ask your daughter's opinion now, but after thinking about it, it seemed like forcing the other party to give an answer, so he gave up the idea. "Not busy, Kong Ming will ask first. I will wait for the reply."

Zhuge Liang sent Liu Bei back to the palace, and Liu Bei suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Kong Ming, I made a sword and wanted to give it to you. I forgot this time when I left the palace. When we see you next time, please remind me."

"What sword?" Is the sword deeply affectionate?

Zhuge Jin vaguely heard some wind.

Then Zhuge Liang said that he had something to discuss with her.

She was a little nervous, a little excited, and a little smug.

When Huang Yueying helped Zhuge Liang come in, Zhuge Jin hurriedly saluted: "Father, mother."

"No, Ah Jin, sit down."

A family of three was doing well, Zhuge Liang took a look at Zhuge Jin's expression and knew that she had got some news, so he simply told everything.

"You have also met the prince. The last time you met the prince...was quite embarrassing. What do you think?"

"Am... must I marry the prince?"

"No." Zhuge Liang categorically denied, "If you don't want to, father will ask His Majesty to waive this marriage."

"Kong Ming..." Huang Yueying frowned aside.

"Ah Jin, marriage is a lifelong event, you have to think about it. It's better to regret for a while than for a lifetime."

"Then...do father and mother want me to marry?" Zhuge Jin asked suddenly.

"I think." Zhuge Liang answered quickly, and Zhuge Jin looked at his father in surprise.

"From every aspect, you are the most suitable candidate for the crown princess. Moreover, if you become the crown princess, history may be rewritten..."

"However, if I become the crown princess, more people will say that my father is a powerful minister, and he will use all means to deepen his relationship with His Majesty, including marrying his own daughter into the royal family. Even the crown prince will be under control, right?"

"That's a problem that father has to solve by himself." Zhuge Liang interrupted Zhuge Jin. This child is sometimes very sharp, and he is indeed very similar to himself. Won't you have a bad time?"

"That's my business." Zhuge Jin said very bluntly, "I heard that the prince is smart and has met a few times, and there is nothing wrong with it. So, father, please reply to your majesty, I am married."

The next day, Liu Bei ordered Zhuge Liang's daughter to be the crown prince, and gave Zhuge Liang the "Zhang Wu" sword.

Sure enough, the sword is deeply affectionate.

Marriage is always a popular form of entertainment for the working people.

Zhuge Liang's house has been very lively these past few days, and Zhuge Liang can see a bunch of gifts every time he comes back.

"Remember to return them all." Zhuge Liang told Huang Yueying.

"Who gave the pile over there?" The pile of cloth and brocade in the corner is really a lot.

Huang Yueying sighed after seeing it: "Who else is there, Huang Gongheng."

"Oh, it's the family that fought with Ah Jin."

"Kong Ming, don't keep talking about people like that."

"Remember that. Where's Ah Jin?"

"Your Majesty ordered someone to send you a dress and crown today. The Empress gave Tang Mu and is trying it on in the room."

Before the words fell, the door of the back room opened with a creak, and Zhuge Liang followed the sound to look.

Zhuge Jin came out surrounded by more than a dozen palace maids and servants. He was wearing a black and red embroidered deep dress, inlaid with pearls to imitate the sun, moon and stars. Tassels hang down on the head shoes.This is nothing, what is worth mentioning is the high bun on the head, the five phoenix gold hairpins, and the jade hairpin. Among them is a gilt phoenix, which is bigger than the palm of an ordinary person.

But none of these took away Zhuge Jin's own brilliance. After applying heavy makeup, this beauty became more prominent. With a smile on his lips, and his beautiful eyes, at this moment, Zhuge Jin was the focus of the room.

"Father? Mother?"

Zhuge Liang seemed to wake up suddenly: "Ah Jin...?"

"How?" This is confidently waiting for praise.

"Very beautiful, the most beautiful."

Zhuge Jin lowered his head slightly shyly, the girl's shyness also brings pride, especially when she is confident in her beauty.

Zhuge Liang couldn't tell what it was like in his heart. The daughter he raised was about to get married, and his wife was an enviable couple. This seemed to be something to be proud of, but it was also very sad.

Therefore, at this time, people are often very sensitive and picky about details.

"En... um? That is... the five phoenix hairpin? Why do I remember that according to Dianyi, the princess should use the five phoenix crown?" Zhuge Liang realized that something was wrong.

"Return to the prime minister," a servant next to him came up to salute, "it happened suddenly, and the ritual officer did not prepare the five phoenix crowns in a hurry. The phoenix hairpin replaces the five phoenix crowns, and no other ones will be made.'”

"...Oh. Follow His Majesty's orders."

"Young lady has already tried it, everything still fits well, but the dress has been slightly modified, and the slaves and maidservants have to be brought back to be handed over to the Secretary for modification, what orders does the Prime Minister have?"

"No more. Wait a minute," Zhuge Liang looked at the five-phoenix hairpin on Zhuge Jin's head again, "Can the five-phoenix hairpin be kept?"

The maids and servants looked at each other, they had never encountered such a situation before.

In the end, the leading old servant had experience: "The Wufeng Hairpin is a non-standard ritual regulation. Since the prime minister wants to keep it, there is nothing wrong with it, but I have to wait for your majesty. These days, please take good care of the prime minister until the day when the daughter-in-law gets married. , still useful."

"It's natural."

After seeing off the old servant, and urging the excited Zhuge Jin to wash his face, Huang Yueying looked at Zhuge Liang who picked up the five-phoenix hairpin: "What's wrong?"

"There's no reason for that!" Zhuge Liang put the five-phoenix hairpin aside, "How can Dianyi's affairs be sloppy? Ah Jin is married to be a princess, and it's not something ordinary people can just do. It's clear that the Dianyi officials are lazy, I should really ask Xu Wenxiu!"

"Okay, Your Majesty has spoken. From top to bottom, it is also a good start for the people. Extravagance cannot last long. Don't you agree with it. Why, when it's someone else's turn, you feel that it should be taken for granted. When it's your own Can't you accept it on your daughter's head?"

"It's not my double standards, it's nothing! Look, look at this phoenix hairpin. There are no gems or pearls at all. This, this is too plain! It's not like getting married!"

"Then what are you going to do with it?"

"Your Majesty, don't you want to add extra public expenses? Let's do it ourselves. I don't believe it, I can't make a five-phoenix crown for Ah Jin!"

"Really, Dad! You want to make me a five-phoenix crown!" Zhuge Jin heard this after washing his face, and ran in happily to ask.

Huang Yueying glanced at the official work that Zhuge Liang brought back to work overtime: "It's easy to say, when will you have time to do it?"

Zhuge Jin didn't know when he fell asleep.

She vaguely remembered that she had been waiting for the five phoenix crown that Zhuge Liang promised to make for her, and she also said that she would do it herself.

But Zhuge Liang seemed to be approving official documents all the time.

I don't know when it was approved, but Huang Yueying seemed to come over and let the maid help her back to sleep.

When being dragged away by the maidservant, Zhuge Jin still thought vaguely: Where is Fengguan?

When she woke up the next morning, Zhuge Jin's first reaction was this matter. She simply put on her clothes, jumped off the bed, and came to Zhuge Liang's study to find her father.

"Father! Father!"

There was no answer, Zhuge Liang was no longer there.

Zhuge Jin was a little disappointed and was about to close the door and go out, but suddenly felt blinded by something.

The bright sunlight in the morning shone on something on the desk, and streaked across Zhuge Jin's long eyelashes.

Zhuge was stunned there.

A crown with five phoenixes, emerald greens and pearls was quietly placed on the case.

Zhuge Jin walked over step by step in disbelief, carefully holding the phoenix crown in his hand.

The main body of the phoenix crown is gilt copper; on the front is a large gold leaf phoenix that is a circle larger than a human palm; on each side are two small gold leaf phoenixes, and the wings and tail feathers of the phoenix have been carefully glued with red feathers using swim bladders. , is the little red feather in the center of the end of the peacock's tail feathers. When the sun shines on it, there will be colorful light flowing. During this period, Zhuge Jin knows without looking at the high-end peacocks in Zhuge Liang's study vase. The tail feathers were probably all dead; all the golden phoenixes had water essence stuck to their eyes and the center of their tail feathers, and each golden phoenix held a string of pearls in its mouth, and one of them had a particularly large and numerous one, which was [-]% from Huang Yueying The gold-leaf pearl hairpin worn when she was married.

Zhuge Jin hugged Fengguan in his arms, Gogou corner of his mouth wanted to smile, but tears came down.

The author has something to say:

Who knows what attire should be for a princess in the Wei and Jin Dynasties... The five phoenix crowns were made up by the author.
