Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 1 Wedges
In the sixth year of Jiahe, on the eighth day of the eighth month, the entire city of Shengjing was enveloped in joy.

The streets are decorated with lanterns and festoons, and there is a lot of voices.

With tall horses and red makeup, the people crowded onto the streets like a tide, wanting to see the grand occasion of the princess protecting the country and pro-Xiliang.

Holding a fan in his hand, Li Taiwei sat upright with his face covered, the phoenix wearing a peony and golden crown in his hair was dazzling and bright, and the golden silk phoenix gown for his wedding dress made his whole person look attractive.

The wind is a bit strong today, listening to the bustling crowd outside the car, Li Taiwei couldn't help frowning, sighed quietly, and asked:
"Dafu, take a quick look, how long will it take to arrive at Chenghemen?"

Holding the Fengming Sword in his arms, Dafu responded in a low voice, turned sideways and looked out through the gauze curtain, and after a while, replied in Xiliang dialect:
"Princess, I just arrived at Chang'an Hutong, and I'm still half an hour away from Chenghemen."

As soon as she opened her mouth, her hoarse voice was like a broken bellows, which made Xi Nunnies, who was serving tea beside her, tremble in shock.His eyes quietly fell on the half of Dafu's face covered with scars, and he only dared to glance at it before hastily lowering his eyelids.

Li Taiwei was silent for a moment when he heard the words, gritted his teeth and supported his sore arm.

The Queen Mother said that a bride holding a fan in her left hand can protect her husband's family from evil spirits, and this is true for all newlyweds.Marriage concerns the dignity of the two countries, and Taiwei has been repeatedly asked to obey, this is the rule set by the ancestors.

Rules ass!

Li Taiwei gritted his teeth fiercely, and simply shook the fan.

Mother Xi was stunned for a moment, her eyes were as wide as copper bells, she opened her mouth, and then turned to look at Dafu who was sitting solemnly, she turned her mouth around the words, but finally did not dare to speak.

The queen mother who can beat powerful officials in front of her is definitely not something she can provoke.

Li Taiwei was a little annoyed.

Just after Yinshi today, the Empress Dowager led a group of maids and nuns to urge her to make up one after another, and the little emperor led all the civil and military officials to personally send Li Taiwei all the way to the Long Street of the Palace Gate. She didn't even drink a sip of water!

The convoy was mighty, and when Fang drove out of Chenghemen, Li Taiwei decisively swung the fan in his hand, and it fell on the wall of the car. There was a crisp sound, and Mammy Xi almost jumped up.

"Your Highness, Your Highness! This... This is absolutely impossible!..."

Li Taiwei opened her sleeves and poured tea by herself, raised her eyelids when she heard the words, and glanced over, Mammy Xi was so frightened that her face turned pale, her legs softened and she knelt down.

Holding the sword in his arms, Dafu glanced at the trembling Madam Xi, with no expression on his face, and because of the huge scar, he looked extraordinarily ferocious.

Li Taiwei just served the tea, but the carriage stopped suddenly.

"Your Highness, in front are King Changping's men and horses."

The guard came to report through the brocade curtain, holding two copies carefully.

Li Taiwei held his breath to the tip of his heart in an instant, and his fingertips trembled slightly.

"This stick!"

Li Taiwei kept a straight face,
"Are the imperial guards in Fahua Temple just for display! An old widower who is crippled can't be locked up! It's impossible to keep this group of idiots and wait for Pai Gow!"

When the guard heard this, his heart beat violently.

I thought that the lame old widower you mentioned was the regent of the current dynasty, a general who was appointed by the late emperor.When the emperor saw him, he had to call "Uncle" affectionately. Even if you gave the imperial guards the guts to make a fool of themselves, they wouldn't dare to challenge the regent!

"This... Your Highness calms down..."

Li Taiwei scolded Qin Tianjian and those old bastards in his heart, what kind of bullshit auspicious day is it!
It took a while to calm down, gritted his teeth and said:
"Today, my palace is very happy. If he dares to make a mistake, just ask the carriage to run over it! It can also be counted as King Changping to add joy to this palace!"

"Your Highness... Your Highness..."

The guards were about to cry.

"Ah! Ordinary women at this age may have grandchildren! The king of Xiliang was really blind to agree to choose you as a marriage partner!"

Before the guard could respond, he heard a teasing male voice, and couldn't help but gasped.

Everyone looked back, only to see Changping Wang Lu Xiao, who was wearing a purple gold python robe and a golden crown on his head, riding a steed, stomping leisurely from among the guards who bowed their heads to avoid him, with a reckless expression on his face.

The horseshoe stopped about ten steps away from the car.

Lu Xiao confronted Li Taiwei from a distance across the brocade curtain, with a face full of conscience and sarcasm.

"You said that if the king of Xiliang suddenly regretted seeing you getting old and decrepit, he would send troops to send you back intact..."

Lu Xiao narrowed his eyes and shook his head, looking extremely disgusted.

"Tsk tsk... You said that this king is fighting to protect the face of the Great Zhou?... Or not fighting?..."

Hearing this, Li Taiwei's face was suddenly covered with dark clouds, only a thunderstorm was missing!
She hates people gossip about her age the most in her life, especially this vicious old widower!
So what if she is a 28-year-old girl!

Her grandmother was the first eldest princess of the Kai Dynasty of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and she married Xiliang as the queen.Her mother was born in Xiliang, and she is also the only little princess!In the first year of Jingsheng's first year, she married Da Zhou to her father, and now she is the princess of Da Zhou Huguo, and today she married Xi Liang again.

A family of three generations and a princess, visited Dazhou all over, who would not praise loyalty, bravery and righteousness!
But this scorpion belongs to the donkey!

Over the years, from arguing with her Li family to getting married, she has often caused troubles for her on weekdays!

When she agreed to this marriage, the Empress Dowager beat her chest and promised to summon this son to Fahua Temple to guard the spirit of the late emperor for half a month!

In order to satisfy Li Taiwei, the Empress Dowager insisted that the little emperor be guarded by eight thousand imperial troops.

Eight thousand forbidden troops!
Those are the elites she has held in her hands all these years!It is to guard a divine beast, chop it!The old widower must be chopped up too!

How could she allow this guy to go crazy under her nose on the day of her great joy!
Mrs. Li's face was slightly cold, and her eyes turned to the gloomy Dafu.

Dafu tightened the Fengming sword in his hand, looked outside, turned his face and moved his mouth slightly, Li Taiwei saw it clearly, she said: Jin Wuwei.

Li Taiwei was shocked.

Is the old widower crazy?

If the Jinwu Guards dare to confront the Forbidden Army, this is a rebellion!A great crime against the Nine Clans!
"King Changping!"

Li Taiwei raised her voice,

"I am very happy today. For the sake of your loyalty to the country, you have limped a leg. You can get off your horse and kowtow to Bengong to express your heart. You don't have to rush to see them off."

"When I become the queen of Xiliang, I will give you a few hard-fated beauties later, so that you won't be the last queen of the Lu family! After all, the title you got by stepping on the bones of your father and brother will never come to an end. I only keep my own honor and salary, and I don’t even have a pensioner to die!"

Sure enough, Lu Xiao's face suddenly darkened.

Without waiting for everyone's reaction, Lu Xiao got off his horse neatly, not looking like he was limping at all.

"stop!"

Dozens of Xiliang guards guarding in front of Li Taiwei's carriage stepped forward, looked at Lu Xiao vigilantly, and raised eyebrows at Lu Xiao in unfamiliar Chinese:
"Don't be rude to the queen!"

"queen?"

Seeing this, Lu Xiao sneered, and walked towards Li Taiwei's car.

The Xiliang guards gave each other a wink and quickly drew their swords.

With his hands behind his back, Lu Xiao faltered slightly, but he didn't feel panicked at all.

For a moment, I saw a silver light shining all around, and the ear-piercing sound of drawing a sword pierced my ears.

The Xiliang guards were dumbfounded.

How could he have imagined that if he was ordered to welcome a kiss excitedly, he would also be able to have ten thousand Jin Wuwei guards draw their swords to play around?

The Xiliang people's complexion immediately turned a little ugly.

But the sword has been drawn, and now it is retracted...does it...does it seem that these Xiliang men are too shameless?

At the time of the dilemma, Lu Xiao was already standing in front of Li Taiwei's car, separated from her only by a half-transparent curtain.

The originally clear weather gradually turned dark, and the wind was suddenly strong, raising sand and dust on the face, with a bit of stinging pain.

Lu Xiao raised his hand, and was about to lift the curtain of the car, when Li Taiwei shouted sharply:
"Old widower! How dare you belittle me!"

Lu Xiao was stunned.

Mother Xi was about to cry in fright, and kowtowed to Lu Xiao's figure outside:

"My... my lord, you must not open the curtain from the outside! This... this can only be opened by the king in Xiliang!"

The bride's sedan chair can only be opened by the husband from the outside. The princess and her marriage concern the dignity of the two countries. If something goes wrong, even if she is a slave, she will be to blame for it!

Lu Xiao paused, snorted coldly, shook his sleeves and said:
"That's fine! Come out, Li Taiwei, I have something to tell you."

Mrs. Li sneered slightly:
"I am the princess protecting the country, the queen of Xiliang! What can I say with you, an old widower! But... if you are willing to kowtow to me, I can think about it."

When Lu Xiao heard this, his angry face changed. He glared at Li Taiwei who looked like a dog in the car, and raised his hand to lift the curtain.

In an instant, a gust of wind swept in like sand and dust covering the sky and the sun, and the yellow sand covered the eyes, and there was chaos between the sky and the earth.

The wind and sand startled the horses, and there was a burst of chaos. Before the crowd could react, Li Taiwei's car suddenly neighed.

Lu Xiao's pupils shrank suddenly, he clenched the car curtain with one hand to cover the compartment, and leaned against the car wall with the other hand, subconsciously shouted:
"A Luan—!"
