Mrs. Qin Xiangguo

109

In 242 BC, the fifth year of Qin Wangzheng, the monarch got married.

That afternoon, Zhao Weizhen's carriage drove into Zhangtai Palace.

When the new king gets married, the queen mother will naturally take care of it inside and out.Zhao Weizhen didn't need to worry about it, all she needed to do was attend the sacrificial ceremony just like other officials.

But Zhao Weizhen still came.

According to the "Book of Rites", when two families get married, the man should personally go to the woman to greet them.But the king of a country cannot be allowed to go to Chu to pick up his wife, so Zhao Ji arranged for Princess Mi of Chu to live in Xianyang Palace, while Qin Wangzheng lived in Zhangtai Palace.

In this way, when it gets dark later, it will be more convenient for King Qin to go directly to Xianyang Palace to welcome his relatives.

Zhao Weizhen stepped into the bedroom of Zhangtai Palace. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the young Yingzheng had already changed into a formal dress.The wedding dress was black as usual, the sky was dark and the fire was flickering, and at first glance it seemed to be no different from the court dress.

However, if he faced the courtiers directly, Ying Zheng's expression would definitely not be so uncomfortable.

In the past, Yingzheng was not afraid when he was hunted down, and he was unwavering when the queen mother forced the palace, but now he has a wife and feels uncomfortable!

Zhao Weizhen couldn't help laughing: "What are you afraid of? Go to greet the relatives at night, and everyone won't see it."

The ancient word "marriage" is connected with "faint", which originally means night.The weddings in the pre-Qin period all started at night, and the wedding was a Yin ceremony, without playing Yang music, so there was no music playing during the whole process of the young couple's marriage.

"Not afraid."

Ying Zheng turned his head when he heard this.

It was Zhao Weizhen who came, and his phoenix eyes flashed with a feeling of salvation.The boy's slightly tense arms relaxed instantly.

He said helplessly, "I just think everything is too fast."

The monarch calls himself "I" instead of "widow", which means that in Yingzheng's eyes, this is a private conversation between him and Mrs. Weizhen, not an exchange between King Qin and Lord Xia Yang.

Zhao Weizhen was not panicked, but instead teased: "Don't like it?"

Ying Zheng: "No."

Zhao Weizhen: "I've seen them all in advance, don't you have any ideas?"

The young monarch thought seriously for a moment: "A stranger who is good-looking."

Fine.

Zhao Weizhen was not surprised.

Princess Zimi is indeed good-looking, but if good-looking can capture the heart of the monarch, then he will not be Yingzheng.A fiancée who came out of the blue, who had never seen or understood before, was indeed a "good-looking stranger".

"Also." At the end, Ying Zheng added embarrassingly: "She's a little... clingy."

"Ok?"

This was beyond her expectation!Zhao Weizhen suddenly became interested: "How do you say that?"

"Madam asked me to meet her, so I went." The young man replied truthfully: "When I went, she was reading "Book of Shang Jun", and she said that she didn't understand a lot of content in the book. I said that if you don't understand, you can come and ask." I didn't expect that she would come to ask every day."

"Is there any trouble for you?" Zhao Weizhen asked.

"Trouble is not trouble," Ying Zheng said, "Anyway, I have to go to Xianyang Palace to accompany my mother every day, but it's just a matter of passing by."

"That's fine."

Zhao Weizhen felt relieved, and said with a smile, "The princess is just looking for an excuse to see you."

"Not an excuse."

Unexpectedly, the young Yingzheng shook his head seriously: "Every day, she would copy down the things she didn't understand in the book, and make notes to ask questions. It was like this every day, with a lot of content, and it was indeed difficult place of understanding."

Yingzheng is a good student with a sharp personality.If he said that Princess Zimi was studying hard, it would be true.

This...isn't it better!

A little girl who is serious about studying is better than someone who doesn't know big characters and is unwilling to learn.

"Since you study hard, how can you be called clingy?" Zhao Weizhen couldn't laugh or cry: "If you don't like it, send her a female officer."

"No problem."

Ying Zheng thought about the level of female officials in the palace, and thought it better not to mislead his children: "It just so happens that I can also review my homework."

This is what it means not to be disgusted.

To be honest, Zhao Weizhen has a good impression of Princess Zimi.

A 20-year-old girl was considered a late marriage in the pre-Qin period.Perhaps it was because she was never married, and the state of Chu didn't ask her to do anything, Zi Mi's words and deeds still had a sense of innocence.

To put it bluntly, it is silly and sweet.

But it's not annoying.Zhao Weizhen even felt that Zi Mi was quite sensible.

Homesick, not outspoken.Afraid, but willing to face it.Zi Mi didn't want to marry to Qin at all, and she wasn't interested in her fiancé whom she had never met, but because of the alliance between the two countries, she came willingly and didn't complain about it.

She is still learning the culture of Qin State.

You must know that even if Princess Zimi doesn't write Xiaozhuan or read "Book of Shang Jun", she is not ashamed to be one of the emperor's concubines.The current concubine only needs to know etiquette and sacrifice. As a nobleman of Chu, no one will blame her.

"Princess Zimi is cheerful and sensible." Zhao Weizhen said in relief, "It's a good thing. The princess is indeed very naive. Many places are like a blank sheet of paper, but it's better than another Huayang Queen Mother."

Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, he thought so too.

To be honest, Zi Mi's appearance was completely beyond his imagination.

In the impression of the young Yingzheng, all the women in Chu State are very powerful.In history, the Empress Dowager Xuan controlled the government for decades, and the Empress Dowager Huayang brought her younger brother to the Qin court to control the wind.Even Cheng Yu's mother, who doesn't have a high sense of presence, is a decent character who doesn't show her mountains and waters-that is, there is a father first, and then there are Mrs. Weizhen and Zhongfu. She can't make waves.

So when Yingzheng saw through Princess Zimi's mind at a glance, he was a little surprised.

At first he also thought she was just showing off, including the "Book of Shang Jun" that fell on the ground.But soon Ying Zheng changed his mind.

"The questions she asked can be called the foundation of the foundation." Ying Zheng commented solemnly: "It can be seen that Zimi really doesn't know much about court affairs. As Madam said, it is a blank sheet of paper."

Zhao Weizhen: "..."

What he said was correct, but how did it come out of Ying Zheng's mouth, which somehow meant a straight man of steel?

"Girls in the state of Chu don't go to school and don't read the books of sages." Zhao Weizhen laughed and said: "No one told her what is the school of thought and the situation in the world. She doesn't read as many books as you, and the road she traveled is not as good as you The things you have experienced are far less than yours, and your knowledge and knowledge will naturally fall behind."

It should be said that most of the women in this era are like this.

Zhao Weizhen's original body was hailed as a talented woman. She went to Qi State with her late husband, and with her background in teaching, she was already a top-notch outstanding intellectual woman.

Ying Zheng's thin lips moved when he heard the words, but he didn't speak immediately.

He thought for a while before hesitating: "Since that's the case, I can answer some more questions with her."

Zhao Weizhen: "..."

Your Majesty, you are really a straight man.

She suppressed a smile while slandering her stomach. Such a reaction made Ying Zheng look over, and his slightly nervous brows and eyes relaxed a little.The young man said frankly helplessly: "Madam once said that the purpose of marriage is to benefit the country, and I can do it. It's just that I have one more person beside my pillow and I haven't seen many people. I don't know what to do."

This man always wants the first time.

And Zhao Weizhen thought about it, mainly because Ying Zheng had no references around him.

Ying Zichu and Zhao Ji have a very good relationship, and I'm afraid they have been you and me since Ying Zheng could remember.And Zhao Weizhen and Lu Buwei...they can't be used as a reference at all.

The young monarch is asking someone from the past for advice on how to get along as a couple.

"Your Majesty, you can't learn from others when you get along as a couple." Zhao Weizhen said softly, "People have different personalities and sense of distance. How to get along more comfortably is up to you and Zimi to explore together."

"Sense of distance?"

Ying Zheng repeated Zhao Weizhen's words, as if he remembered them in his heart.

"The marriage relationship between Lu Buwei and I started from interests, the purpose is interests, and the common pursuit is also interests." Zhao Weizhen added: "This kind of marriage, if you are the queen mother, you will definitely not accept it. Similarly, if you give it to Princess Zimi, she It may not be able to adapt. There are also girls like Ziying who don't want to get married at all. People in the world all look different, why should they seek the same way to get along?"

"But the origin of my marriage with Chu State is for profit." Ying Zheng objected.

"But the marriage is a success." Zhao Weizhen said: "In the future, when Princess Zi Mi gets married, what she wants may not be to make profits for Chu, is it?"

The young man pondered for a long time, then nodded, but the thoughts in the phoenix eyes still flickered.

This is what he meant by half understanding but not fully understanding, needless to say Zhao Weizhen can also see it.

Forget it, things about feelings don't have to be simple to run a country at all, who can figure it out right away?

"Don't worry." Zhao Weizhen persuaded: "You don't know how to get along with your wife, but you always know how to get along with your sister? Isn't it okay to just treat her as a sister who came from afar?"

Thinking about it again, it's not bad for the two to start communicating from you asking me to answering.Zhao Weizhen thought, at least it was much better than not communicating at all.

and--

Zhao Weizhen's thoughts turned suddenly, she raised her eyes, and her eyes turned to Ying Zheng.

The young monarch is tall, straight and handsome, except for the vigorous aura on his body, he looks like an adult.

"Don't blame me for being blunt, Your Majesty." Zhao Weizhen lowered his voice: "Did the Empress Dowager tell you what to do on the night of your wedding?"

Ying Zheng: "..."

His calm and composed face remained unchanged, but the roots of his ears turned red to the junction of his neck in an instant.

"Yeah." Ying Zheng responded with a blank face: "I told you."

Zhao Weizhen endured it, but when he arrived, he couldn't hold it back, and laughed out loud.

How fast!

Seeing Ying Zheng who was a head taller than him, Zhao Weizhen couldn't help but feel emotional.

It seems that yesterday he was still the two-year-old boy who ran away with his mother without saying a word, and now he is the king of Qin who is going to marry his wife!

Thinking about it again, this is the child she taught.Sharing joys and sorrows, sharing weal and woe, protecting him from the throne, and making suggestions for him, Zhao Weizhen felt both proud and sentimental.

She raised her hand subconsciously, but she didn't know where to put it.

Now I can't touch the top of Ying Zheng's head, let alone pat the shoulder...

Zhao Weizhen took a deep breath, and one hand did not drop.Her raised hand changed direction in mid-air, Zhao Weizhen stepped back half a step, and raised her left hand at the same time.

At a distance of three steps, she put her left hand on the outside of her right hand, pushed outward from her chest, bent slightly, and made a very precious scholar's long bow.

"I congratulate the king," Zhao Weizhen said.

At that moment, Ying Zheng was almost moved.

The young monarch seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.Multiple emotions quickly flashed in his pair of phoenix eyes, and then settled down.

Ying Zheng nodded: "Thank you Xia Yangjun."

After that, there is intense preparation for the final matters of the wedding.

On the night of their wedding, what Zhao Weizhen and Lu Buwei had to do was to stay in Zhangtai Palace as foreign ministers to congratulate.She was in the front row of the ministers, and together with Lu Buwei, the envoys of Chu State immediately saw Princess Zi Mi in a beautiful dress sent to the front of the hall.

The monarch is waiting on the high steps, while his future wife picks up her clothes and starts walking.

Qin Wang's wife matched the monarch, and she also wore a black dress.Zi Mi was bright and flamboyant, adding a bit of color to the calm black, and suppressing the tension in the young princess's eyes.

When she passed by Zhao Weizhen and Lu Buwei, she quickly glanced at Zhao Weizhen.

This girl!

Zhao Weizhen hooked the corners of his mouth: he looked timid, but he was actually quite bold.

"Did you do it on purpose?" So Zhao Weizhen whispered to Lu Buwei.

Lu Buwei turned his head to the side, but didn't look at her.Instead, he said in a sincere tone: "Isn't it okay to talk in private in such a formal occasion?"

The bride walked to the monarch, and the two walked side by side, leaving Zhao Weizhen's eyes.Taking advantage of turning around, she pinched Lu Buwei's back () waist: "What are you pretending to be!"

Lu Buwei: "..."

Tangtang Xiangguo's face froze for a moment, and then he laughed out loud in the voice of the courtiers celebrating.

"On purpose?" he asked.

"I deliberately found such a princess." Zhao Weizhen said.

She didn't believe it, and found a cheerful and cheerful little girl, none of whom Lu Buwei bribed in Chu State.

Lu Buwei took it for granted: "If you don't understand, you can teach it. This is what you said, Weizhen. Buwei doesn't want to entangle the Qin court with the Chu people anymore."

The couple agree on this point.

Now that he mentioned the business, Lu Buwei continued: "I heard that Li Qing plans to go to South Korea after King Qin's wedding?"

Li Si really planned to do so.

King Qin's great marriage was also a very good reason.Li Sike went to Xinzheng to persuade the king of Han. This was a good opportunity to take the opportunity to enter Qin and bow his head to the king of Qin to show his surrender.At that time, the newly married King Qin will be happy, maybe he will accept South Korea as a vassal state instead of destroying South Korea?

Zhao Weizhen turned his head and thought for a while: "This should be possible."

…………

……

A few days later, the Xianyang Embassy.

"Li Si...going to Korea?" Han Fei raised his head suddenly after hearing the envoy's report.

He immediately frowned, with confusion on his face.

There is no war or crisis right now. Even if they are classmates who know each other, Han Fei can't figure out what Li Si can do when he goes to South Korea at this juncture.

But Han Fei was very clear about one thing: Li Si's purpose was to support King Qin in destroying Korea.

"Bring, take the silk book."

Han Fei hurriedly ordered: "I want to write, write a letter."

The South Korean envoy was stunned: "My son wants to write a letter, who is it for?"

Han Fei: "Your Majesty, hurry up!"

The letter must be delivered to the King of Han before Li Si, no matter what Tonggu's purpose is, it must not be accepted!
