[Three Kingdoms] I am the queen of the Great Wei Dynasty

"I am the second son of Cao Sikong, how dare you rely on your elders to be presumptuous?"

"Second...Second Young Master?" As soon as the words came out, the noble lady immediately changed her face, and she fell back to her original position in shock. , my old body is just teaching my daughter-in-law a lesson..."

Before she finished her words, Cao Pi sternly interrupted her: "Is she worthy of you to teach me a lesson?"

As he said that, he bent down to grab the woman's arm, helped her stand up from the ground, and patted the dust on her body.

The woman finally raised her eyes at this moment, and said weakly, "Thank you."

Cao Zhen who was next to him caught a glimpse of her face unexpectedly, and couldn't help but take a breath to express his amazement—it was the first time he had seen such a beautiful woman, that face seemed to come out of a painting, and the viewer could not help but be amazed at it with just one glance. Can't look away, only tsk tsk is full of heart.

"My son will take you away, okay?" At this time he heard Cao Pi say to the woman tenderly, Cao Zhen couldn't help but flashed another word in his heart that a child can be taught. Unexpectedly, this son Huan usually doesn't show his mountains and dews. Much bigger than himself.

Before the woman could answer, the noble lady at the side couldn't sit still, and she immediately smiled, pointing at the woman and flatteringly said to Cao Pi: "I am Yuan Shao's wife, Liu, and this is my second daughter-in-law Zhen." Mi, since you, my lord, look favorably on each other, I am willing to offer her to hold the dustpan for you, and I hope you will not dislike her."

Cao Pi ignored her, and ordered impatiently: "Back off."

Just two words were enough to make Mrs. Liu tremble with fear, so resentful, she hurriedly took the maids and daughters-in-law by her side to retreat, bowed to say goodbye, and ran away in a hurry.

"You've always been so beautiful." Cao Pi didn't even glance at those people, he just stared at Zhen Mi in front of him intently, with the corners of his mouth raised and his thin lips curled into a bright smile, "You really don't remember me?"

Zhen Mi's lips trembled, but her voice was so thin that it was almost inaudible.

He looked at her deeply, as if he wanted to paint all the details of her face into his eyes, and continued: "I have remembered you for more than ten years, and your appearance has been engraved in my mind, no matter how hard I try to erase it, I can't erase it." I recognized you at a glance on the street that day, but unfortunately you ignored me and made me sad for many days. But it is fate to meet you here today. I hope you can understand my sincerity for you. I don’t want to be disappointed anymore.”

"Concubine... thank you for your love, but I am just a pussy weed. I know that I am not worthy of my son's body, and I just want to die."

She lowered her head, and her whole figure was like a thin leaf in the wind, rustling and fragile.

"Why?" Cao Pi became anxious, and stretched out his hands to hold her thin shoulders, "Are you crazy? What's the point of being buried with Yuan Xi? He left you here and flew away. Such a cowardly and incompetent man deserves you." die for him?"

Sobbing suddenly came from his ears, he looked down in panic, only to find that she suddenly started to cry, hot tears streaming down her cheeks: "I'm a second-married concubine, I'm not worthy of my son treating me like this."

Tears dripped onto Cao Pi's hands, spreading the scorching temperature. He opened his arms to hug her, but let the tears soak the collar of his chest.

"I didn't dare to criticize you, don't worry, I will never let you suffer the slightest grievance." He held the face of the woman in his arms, wiped her tears with his warm fingertips, and comforted softly, "Trust me, okay?" ?”

Zhen Mi didn't nod or refuse, just stood there silently, he couldn't figure out what she was thinking for a while, so it was inevitable that her movements were extra gentle because of being cautious.

"Come with me and be my wife, okay?" Cao Pi stared into her dark eyes, trying to see what was in her heart, "I swear, I, Cao Zihuan, will never abandon you in my whole life. , I will protect you with everything I can and give you everything you want."

**

"Father, this is Uncle Yuan's second daughter-in-law. Zihuan is very pleased with her and begged Father to marry her to me."

Cao Pi held Zhen Mi's hand behind him, and bowed humbly to report to Cao Cao.

As he spoke, he blinked at A Sheng who was sitting on the side of his head, with a pitiful expression on his face.

The water he just drank in his mouth couldn't help but spit out, Ah Sheng laughed secretly, how could he not understand what his son meant.

So she turned her head to look at Cao Cao: "Zi Huan has already reached the age of marriage, since he likes it in his heart, let him fulfill his wish."

Son, I can only help you here.

However, Cao Cao didn't seem to disagree. He glanced at Zhen Mi silently, and then looked at Cao Pi: "This girl is pretty, and she is suitable to be an orphan daughter-in-law. Since your mother has spoken for you, the orphan also agrees with you." This marriage."

Cao Pi was immediately overjoyed, and no longer concealed his excitement, he immediately pulled Zhen Mi to kneel down to thank him, and shouted excitedly: "Thank you, father and mother, for your success, son, I'll go back and get ready."

"Marriage matters must not be neglected, Guzi will order someone to take care of it for you. Your funeral will be held together with your sister's. It happens to be a double happiness, and it will be more lively."

"Sister?" Cao Pi thought about it for a while, and asked doubtfully, "Which sister is going to marry?"

"It's Gu Zhenzhen. Gu betrothed her to Xun Yun as his wife. It's time for the two families to get closer because of their marriage."

Unexpectedly, after Cao Pi heard this, a gloomy expression flashed across his face, but he quickly regained his composure, and continued to smile: "That's it, I really want to congratulate sister Zhenzhen for finding a good marriage and a good husband."

**

The evening ceremony is scheduled for the third day after January.

Cao Cao has made up his mind to go south to Jingxiang. In recent years, he has been training naval forces on the Yecheng River in an attempt to unify the world and realize his ambition in this life.

Almost everyone agrees that that day is not far away after all.He didn't even bother to correct the imperial edict, and abolished the Sangong's monopoly on power by himself.

He was named prime minister, and since then he has had absolute dominion over the entire north.

Today's Tongque Terrace is extremely noisy, the pavilions and pavilions are all surrounded by bright red brocade, and there are beaming laughter and joy everywhere.

It's a pity that it was raining heavily outside, and the ground was inevitably a little muddy. The guests came to celebrate in the rain wearing coir raincoats. Naturally, after arriving at the scene, a few compliments from the prime minister and his wife were indispensable, and a congratulatory speech to Mr. Xun Ling, who is also in-law, to show his favor .

After many years, this is the first time Ah Sheng sees Tang Si.She wore a dignified and elegant light-colored floor-length dress, and the jade hairpin inlaid with silk and jewels in her hair showed her identity, and she accompanied Xun Yu to receive blessings with a smile on her face.

She was still the same as before, her beautiful eyebrows and eyes were full of pride and self-sufficiency. As soon as Ah Sheng saw her, he remembered those past events and her arrogant and domineering face.

It was the only not-so-rememberable memory of that otherwise good time.

"Xun Lingjun." A Sheng hooked the corners of his lips, deliberately ignored Tang Si who was beside him, and greeted with a smile, "Now we are in-laws."

Xun Yu hurriedly bowed: "It is my Xun Mansion's honor that Mrs. Bian is willing to marry a thousand pieces of gold."

"Ling Jun is too modest, Yun'er has only learned from others, and is such a talented person, it is my daughter Zhenzhen's blessing to have such a good son-in-law."

Only then did she turn to Tang Si, and smiled as usual: "Mrs. Tang, please stay safe."

"Greetings to Madam Bian." Tang Si gritted his teeth in his heart, and had to put on a respectful gesture on his face.

"Mrs. Tang, the prime minister and I have always admired the Xun family tradition, and we consider it a blessing to be in-laws with you and Ling Jun. Zhenzhen will be a member of the Xun family from now on, please take care of me."

Tang Si's face froze, how could she fail to hear A Sheng's soft but hard warning - Zhen Zhen is the prime minister's daughter, no matter how much she had old grudges against A Sheng, she couldn't vent it on Zhen Zhen, instead she just I can offer it carefully.

A Sheng in front of her was sitting on top of her with a smile, imperceptibly, her aura had already overwhelmed her a lot, her gestures and gestures were full of elegance, she was completely transformed from that little maid back then.

Since she grew up, she is no longer that low-key girl who allows others to bully her. She is now the prime minister's wife, the most honorable woman below the empress. What's more, even the emperor is like a puppet, and the empress has no real power.

Tang Si could only suppress her resentment, and smiled back at her: "Madam Bian said something out of the ordinary, since Zhenzhen is my daughter-in-law, the minister's wife naturally treats her as if she is her own daughter, like a jewel like a treasure. I'm afraid it's melting."

For a moment, the hall was filled with joy and laughter, and the guests did not dare to lose their etiquette during the exchange of toasts. They toasted to Cao Cao and said: "It's really a blessing to have such a son-in-law who rides the dragon and a daughter-in-law who is both talented and beautiful. I'm really envious of waiting."

Cao Cao also returned the gift with a cup, and ordered the servants to present several altars of good wine, and filled them up for the guests one by one.

"Zijian."

Suddenly, he looked at Cao Zhi, who was drinking happily with his partner, and called out in a moderate voice.

Cao Zhi hurriedly put down his wine glass, put away the smile just now, and respectfully answered: "My son is here, what is your father's order?"

"You have always loved reciting poems and composing Fu. Today, on this auspicious day, you will also compose a Fu to entertain you all."

Cao Zhi hurriedly said: "I don't know what the subject of my father's desire for each other is?"

"Let's take this Tongque Terrace as the topic. I'll give you the time to burn an incense stick. Zihuan has used so much. It depends on how much you want to use."

Following his instructions, the servant approached the stove with small steps, and lit a stick of incense inside.After a while, the incense burned, exuding a faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus.

Everyone couldn't help sweating for it, cast their eyes on Cao Zhi one after another, and whispered to each other.

Cao Zhi remained calm, without any embarrassment on his face, and even smiled at the maid next to him.

The latter understood, and hurriedly went to hold a plate of the Four Treasures of the Study and presented it to him.I saw that he was not in a hurry, rolled up his sleeves, held a pen and opened the thick ink, only raised his hand for a moment of thought, then stood up quietly, and wrote lines on the rice paper with a brush.

The movements are as fast as flowing clouds and flowing water, as if he didn't blink his eyes, and the ink under his pen surges wantonly like a river meandering forward, stirring up countless blue waves and black flood dragons, and it seems like a frightened bird is sailing against the wind, and returns with joy.

All the people present except Cao Cao and A Sheng were stunned, and immediately fell silent.

Ah Sheng is not surprised, because she knows her son very well, and Zi Jian, who seems to be a difficult problem in the eyes of outsiders, is really easy to handle.

As for why Cao Cao was not surprised, she thought it was also because he was sure that his son would live up to his expectations, perhaps because of the trust between father and son.

"Father, my son has finished writing, please read it."

Cao Zhi took back his pen and held up the rice paper that had not yet dried out, his sleeves fluttering.

But the effort of half a stick of incense.

Everyone praised again, Cao Cao signaled his servant to take it, and ordered him to read it in public in the court.

The servant cleared his throat and read aloud:

"Since the Ming Dynasty, I have played around, climbed to the stage for entertainment. See the vastness of the Taifu, and see the camp of the saints. The towering gates are built, and the floating double queres are too clear... Grace and grace. All over the world, good things are prosperous and people are healthy.

May the stature of Sitai stand forever, and the music will last forever. "

The recitation just finished, and there was a storm in an instant, "Okay, what a fu!"

"The fourth son is really amazing, talented and brilliant, and his literary thinking is unparalleled! The only thing I can do is to worship!"

"The old minister has lived for a long time, and today he saw what is called Wenqu Xingxia. The fourth son really deserves to be the son of Prime Minister Cao. His literary talent is no match for the fourth son in all the people in the world today."

The guests all clapped their hands and exclaimed, and cast admiring glances at Cao Zhi, but only Cao Pi's face became more gloomy, and he forced a smile.

Ah Sheng happened to see it, and couldn't help feeling sad.

Cao Pi's personality has always been competitive, so how could he be convinced by his younger brother's praise this time.

But it was difficult for her to go down to comfort him under the eyes of everyone, so she sat on her seat and turned her head from time to time to observe his expression.

Because it was a cloudy and rainy day, the wound on her severed finger was hurting again.Perhaps it was not properly bandaged at that time, and it started to become inflamed and painful in this kind of weather.

She wrapped her palms with the ends of her sleeves, her face still responded to her congratulations as usual, she continued to exchange glasses and accept the envy of everyone.

"Prime Minister."

Suddenly, in the first seat, a hoarse and deep voice suddenly sounded.

A Sheng subconsciously followed the source of the voice, and it turned out to be an inexplicably familiar woman, although she had never seen her before.

She is about 40 years old, with light makeup and long dress, with a gentle and quiet demeanor, like the bamboo slips that have been treasured for many years in ancient books, which have been turned over with the passage of time, gradually turning into the eyebrows on her face.

"Yan... Zhaoji?" Cao Cao beside him didn't know why, and suddenly changed his address, as if he had blurted out to call him "Yan'er".

As soon as he called his name, Ah Sheng immediately knew who that person was——Cai Zhaoji, who was famous in Beijing back then.

She lost her husband and son-in-law when she was young, and her father, Cai Yong, was killed by Wang Yun's order. After being rebelled by Li Jue and Guo Si, she was exiled to the Huns, married Zuo Xianwang and gave birth to two sons.

Not long ago, Cao Cao redeemed her with ten pairs of jade discs and several cartloads of gold beads. Only then did she end her [-] years of exile in a foreign land, and finally returned to the Central Plains.

In the seat, Zhao Ji got up slowly, and bowed deeply to Cao Cao: "Prime Minister, it's raining late at night, Rong Yan will leave."

"Why is Zhaoji in such a hurry to leave?"

"Yan's current house is quite far away from Tongque Terrace. It's already a clock, and the road is muddy. Yan has to go home now, and I hope the Prime Minister will allow it."

"There are several guest rooms in Taichung. If Zhaoji doesn't mind, she can stay here tonight."

Zhao Ji shook her head, the orchids embroidered on her clothes were pure and elegant, which suited her perfectly.

"Yan thanked the Prime Minister for his kindness, but Yan just returned to his hometown not long ago, how could he bother Sikong again, Yan felt really sorry."

"Zhao Ji!" Cao Cao seemed displeased, "You and I are old friends, why should we be alienated like this, if Uncle Cai sees you separated from the lonely like this, I'm afraid he won't be happy either."

Seeing him mentioning her father, Zhao Ji couldn't help lowering her eyebrows, she lowered her head and bit her lip, and said nothing more.

This should be regarded as tacit consent, seeing that she drank a few more glasses of wine, she was so overwhelmed that she was about to fall asleep.

Cao Cao couldn't bear it, and ordered his servant: "You can help Mrs. Zhaoji down, and let her sleep in the wing room. Remember to take good care of her, and don't let her be sober and no one can call her."

A Sheng stood up, and said as he walked down: "I'll go, Mrs. Zhao Ji is a distinguished guest from afar, I'll go and settle her down, so that I can show some kindness as a host."

"A Sheng?" Cao Cao was obviously taken aback, and immediately tried to stop her, as if he didn't want her to do this.
