After crossing the queen, relying on the mouth cannon to brush the copy of the palace fight

In the past ten years since Pei Ruzhuo became an official, he followed the emperor all the way from an unknown person to a prime minister. At the age of thirty, he became the youngest prime minister in the history of the Da Xun Kingdom. Almost ten years later, the young man with boundless glory is still in the limelight.

"Princess walk slowly."

The seven-year-old eldest princess just left the Prime Minister's mansion this year. She thanked the scroll politely and got on the carriage to return to the palace. The queen mother asked this princess to tell you that it's time for you to find a wife, otherwise the ladies in Beijing will have to fight for your lord for another ten years."

Thirty is not too old for a man, but it is very rare to see a man who has not yet married at thirty, especially a young and promising man like Pei Ruzhuo, who has a good character and is young and promising. Since almost ten years ago, many girls thought It has been falling on Pei Ruzhuo, and there are quite a few who have been dragged into old girls by their hearts.

Especially later on, Pei Ruzhuo's position became higher and higher, and his position and power were in his hands. Let alone he was 40, he was [-] years old. As long as the position of wife was vacant, there would be people willing to flock to her.

"I will think about it carefully." After being stunned for a long time, Pei Ruzhuo cupped his fists and bowed to the stable princess who looked like a little adult.

Standing in front of the door, watching the royal carriage drive away, Pei Ruzhuo sighed slightly, thinking that he was already at this age, as if the eldest princess was just in her infancy a few years ago. At the age of seven, she has already seen the excellent prototype of her parents.

Although the prime minister's mansion is large, there are only three masters living there. After becoming an official, Pei Ruzhuo moved a pair of parents from his hometown to live in Beijing. Focusing on raising her son, Pei's mother was born as an ordinary peasant girl. After many years, she is still a little unaccustomed to the wealth and honor in Beijing. At this age, she still likes to tidy up the small vegetable garden in the mansion.

Although there are servants, Father Pei and Mother Pei are still willing to do many things by themselves, and the relationship between the master and servants in the prime minister's mansion is also very harmonious, except for the occasional visits by Pei Ruzhuo's colleagues, it is this princess who is like a little adult who often Come on, Pei's father and Pei's mother love this eldest princess very much, just like they treat their own little granddaughter, every time they come, they have to love it a lot, but their actions undoubtedly put Pei Ruzhuo under great pressure.

The eldest princess has learned the casualness of her empress mother, and her father and mother treat her well, so she really treats her as a little granddaughter. Sometimes in the prime minister's mansion it is like being at home, except for asking Pei Ruzhuo for advice. She looks like a princess during her homework, and she is always in front of Pei's father and mother, laughing and joking like a child.

"Ugh."

Pei Ruzhuo sighed twice behind him, as if he was very reluctant to part with the eldest princess.

Although the emperor, the queen, and his wife are not worried about their precious daughter coming to the Xiangfu, and even throw the child over to the Xiangfu when they are busy, it is impossible to really keep the royal jewel in the courtier's house for a few days .

"Father, mother." Pei Ruzhuo couldn't help sighing when he heard them sigh, "Eldest princess is an elder princess after all..."

"Your father and mother naturally know." Father Pei snorted, "Your father, because he felt that he would not be able to hold his own grandson before he was buried, so he can only envy other people's children. "

Mother Pei nodded in agreement.

"Mother, why are you venting out the same nostrils as my father?" Pei Ruzhuo couldn't help being silent.

Mother Pei was not happy anymore: "Son, what have you always said these years, a man has ambitions in all directions and doesn't want to indulge in the love of his children, mother has never read a book and understands, and has always been dependent on you, but you are thirty years old , now you also have to be trusted by the sage, with a high position and authority, why don't you say that no girl has a crush on you."

Pei Ruzhuo: ...

"It's better to say that the ladies in Beijing don't like your mother, I, a mother-in-law, come from a bad background..."

"Mother... It's not what you think, don't think about it." Pei Ruzhuo sighed, "How can you be considered a bad family now, and how many are there in the capital? , not to mention that you don't have to set up rules like that noble family, it's too late for them to like a mother-in-law like you."

"Then when will you get one back, my son?"

Pei Ruzhuo was dumbfounded for a moment while holding Pei's mother's hand.

With his hands behind his back, Father Pei turned his head and walked into the mansion: "We don't have anyone else in Pei's family. It's not that we force you to get married. After all, after your mother and I go west, we need someone to accompany you, right?"

Mother Pei moved her mouth: "The boy surnamed Liao used to walk with you often, but now he doesn't see anyone anymore. This Xiangfu is not as lively as the village used to be."

But Jingzhong is different from the village. In the past, neighbors lived close together, so they must get along with each other. If your family has something to do, my family will help. Who dares to set foot in the deep water of each family?

Liao Tao was really diligent when he came here. They used to live next to each other in high school, and it has been like this since then, but the Great General's Mansion next to the Prime Minister's Mansion has been closed for two years. There is only an old housekeeper and a few servants Look here, and clean the dust in the house from time to time.

Many years have passed since his reckless accident, and the relationship between the two seems to have not changed much. Liao Tao has a carefree temper and is still the same as before, but he always feels a little awkward. It has been like this for many years In the past, he became a prime minister and she became a general. In terms of career, the two were promoted at almost the same speed. Two years ago, Liao Tao was ordered to garrison the frontier. After that, there was no communication for a while.

"Speaking of which, that kid is as good as our son." Pei's father and Pei's mother didn't know that Liao Tao was originally a daughter. Seeing that Liao Tao lived alone in the general's mansion and had such a good relationship with her son, these years Always treat her like a half-son, "Don't look for a wife when you're too old."

Pei Ruzhuo: ...

Liao Tao really couldn't find it.

But thinking of Liao Tao, it was inevitable to think of the accident back then.

Pei Ruzhuo's face turned red.

In the following years, neither of them brought up this matter sensibly, and Liao Tao seemed to have no interest in getting married, and it was only when she was leading the army that she was in high spirits.

She is indeed brave when she goes into battle to kill the enemy. Over the years, she has become the great General Liao with great military exploits. When the majestic squadron in armor returns to the court, she can always be seen with a happy face. Pei Ruzhuo thought that she was probably born to serve in the army. In the middle of it, is it a kind of bondage for her to be married?

……

Da Xun's prosperity will always attract the eyes of others. After breaking up a small country that was constantly harassing at the border, Liao Tao put his long knife on his shoulder to resist.

"This is the last." With the king of this small country captured, the people on the frontier will have a good year this year.

It's just that Liao Tao was a little unhappy at the thought of asking the class teacher to return to the court.

"My lord, you have worked hard."

Back at the camp, the women's army, which used to be the size of a radish head, has now grown into big girls, all of them are heroic, not inferior to men, one of them took a water bag to send to Liao Tao, and there was no twitching on them at all. Strictly disciplined and straightforward, with excellent kung fu and reasonable cooperation, they have never lost to men in battle, and now they have officially become a unique team in the army, marching and fighting with men.

From the army's aversion to women at the beginning, to being conquered by their strength later, to fighting together as if they really forgot their gender, it is all the result of years of accumulation little by little.

Many of these girls chose to get married with soldiers in the army, and they still stayed in the barracks after they got married. The husband and wife guarded the border, which made a lot of good stories.

"How is Xiaoqiu now?" Liao Tao reached out and asked casually.

The visitor said with a smile: "She is fine. Don't worry, my lord. The military doctor has also seen her and said that she is in good health. She is safe to carry this child. Just don't get tired. But she is a man. If you are free, you can go back." I ran because I was afraid that she would bump into it."

After asking, Liao Tao felt relieved: "Let her take a good rest, the baby is born, and it won't be too late to come back when she is healthy."

"Yeah!" The visitor nodded, "I'm afraid that she won't be able to stay idle in the camp. Don't forget, my lord, she has such a temper that she won't be idle for a moment."

After they said this and drank some water, the woman next to Liao Tao was called away by a male soldier. Looking at the paired figures, Liao Tao felt a little emotional for a while.

Going back to Beijing, I don't want to go back.

When I go back at this time, I probably want to bump into her parents who came to her a few years ago. I have been away for so many years, and I have never gone back, but maybe it is because Liao Muzhao's words are too far away, and they have traveled all the way to come here. Capital, found me.

As a last resort, she used the lie that a woman disguised as a man to serve in the army is a crime of deceiving the emperor and would implicate the whole family, and deterred her parents not to affect her life for the time being.

It’s just that the parents will always be parents, and they have never changed. The mother shed tears and said how she gave birth to such a daughter. The father also pointed at her and said that if a woman does not marry, he will lose his face as a father.

Force her to find a way to clarify everything as soon as possible, and go back with them to marry.

But she is 30 years old, who will she marry?
What's more, Liao Tao was reluctant to part with the fame in her hands. All the things she earned through life and death were devalued by her parents as worthless, which really made her unhappy.

It's just the attitude of her parents, it seems that if she doesn't do this, she will announce everything in person, Liao Tao just feels that there is nowhere to vent her anger, and she has no way to reason with her parents.

She has long been stronger than men, why should she give up all this and go back to marry? At the age of 30, what kind of man can you tell her?The continuation of the old man who is about to fall into the soil, or some kind of crooked melon and cracked dates with mental defects?
With her status today, are those men worthy?

But her words were so weak, they had no effect at all in front of her parents, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she asked to go to the border guards, the wind outside the pass and the battle to kill the enemy could calm her inner anxiety a lot.

It's not that she doesn't recognize feelings, she envies the empress who is extremely loving at the apex, and also envies the sweetness of the girls brought out by her to live with her husband who is also a soldier. It's just that she looks back at the moment when her dream is fulfilled. young.

Among the men of the same age, how many of them did she feel matched, but who were not married yet?
Don't talk about getting married or not getting married, some people's grandchildren are about to fall to the ground.

So now that she's past that age, Liao Tao thought, it's not bad for her to stay in this borderland for the rest of her life, and stay with her weapons for the rest of her life.

What's more, she doesn't have any friends. When she became the champion of martial arts, no one thought that she would be trusted and reused by the emperor. After all, the martial arts list was full of water at that time. It was Pei Ruzhuo, probably due to the fate of the acquaintance, they have been the emperor's right-hand man for almost ten years.

Thinking back carefully, they had some misunderstandings at the beginning.

But since I have been away from Beijing for two years, Pei Ruzhuo should start a family now, right?

It was a day of universal celebration to solve a major problem on one side, when the world praised General Liao for his bravery, invincibility, and invincibility, as an invincible hero. The person is Liao Tao.

The news that the famous general was a daughter became known to everyone all at once, causing an uproar and divergent opinions. The Liao family's parents ignored the dissuasion of others and wanted to take their daughter back no matter what they said!

In the past few years in the court, the status of women has improved a lot compared to before. Although it is far from the real equality between men and women, women have really made achievements and have indeed been recognized by the world. Let’s not mention whether it’s wrong for a gunman to disguise himself as a woman and join the army. She is proficient in the art of war and is brave and good at fighting. It is true that she is invincible with an army of tens of thousands. It is rare for a man to have such achievements. If the country loses this person, It must be a pity!
Many people are not ashamed of what the Liao family's parents have done. Since the daughter has already reached this point, why let her give up?It is a good thing to have such a famous person in the family.

From the point of view of most people, Liao Tao's achievement today should never be described as a scandal.

Before the emperor could speak, a courtier pleaded for Liao Tao, asking the emperor to recite her merits and save her from the crime of deceiving the emperor by disguising herself as a man.

"Pei Aiqing, what do you think?"

Pei Ruzhuo was called out by name, stepped forward and said: "Return to the emperor, I think that the crime of deceiving the emperor is completely nonsense."

"how do I say this?"

Kneeling on the ground, he said eloquently: "What the emperor wants is a general who can protect his family and the country. Lord Liao has already achieved it. How can he be accused of deceiving the emperor?"

As soon as this remark came out, all the officials sighed, and the emperor laughed.

"Well said!" The emperor nodded in satisfaction, "Pei Aiqing understands best. What I want is generals. When did it matter whether it was a man or a woman? Liao Aiqing is a rare pillar of my country. It's a girl who loses this talent, and seeing such a talent is forced to go home and marry a reckless man, then the emperor, I am afraid, will be blinded!"

Pei Ruzhuo got up from the ground, but his mood was not much better. The Liao family's parents were kicked out of Beijing after being reprimanded. If they went to make things difficult for Liao Tao in the name of marrying a woman, etc., they would be treated as obstructing official business.

"Lord Pei."

After the court was over, someone called Pei Ruzhuo to stop him.

Turning around to return the salute, Pei Ruzhuo said, "Auntie, is there something wrong?"

The maid who came here bowed her body: "The Empress, please explain to me, Your Excellency."

After entering the side hall, the lady in the seat beckoned, and ordered the palace man to pass a booklet over: "Lord Pei, take a look, this palace has spent a long time choosing this."

After saluting, Pei Ruzhuo took the booklet in a daze, opened it for some confusion, and saw that it was full of portraits and introductions of women.

"Empress, this..." Seeing it, Pei Ruzhuo understood what it was for. He hadn't gotten married for a long time, so he was naturally asked to have a look at these, and if he liked it, he would marry him directly.

The empress above was lazily flapping her fan, without any airs of an empress: "Old Madam Pei, come into the palace and cry to Bengong, you don't want a daughter-in-law from a famous family, you just want a son-in-law. Daughter-in-law is fine."

Hearing this, Pei Ruzhuo's scalp felt a little numb, he hesitated for a while, but he still didn't express what was in his heart.

"Thank you, Empress, for your kindness." Pei Ruzhuo returned the portrait, "It's just that I don't have any other thoughts about these ladies."

"I chose this booklet, thinking that I have selected all kinds of girls in it." The queen sighed, "How come Master Pei doesn't like any of them?"

Pei Ruzhuo lowered his head slightly.

"Could it be possible that adults don't love beauties and heroes?"

As soon as these words came out, Pei Ruzhuo almost choked on his own saliva, but the word "hero" gave him the illusion that he meant something else.

"...The empress was joking." Pei Ruzhuo thought for a while, but still didn't say anything.

It's just that within a month of resigning from the palace, sad news came from the border.

General Liao was attacked by the remnants of the bandit army and left his life at the border forever.

I didn't have time to say anything, I didn't even think about it, I missed it forever.

Pei's father and Pei's mother ordered someone to pry open the door of their son's room, and saw the son who hadn't had a drop of water in three days.

"I should... I should at least tell her, whether she is willing or not..." Pei Ruzhuo muttered to himself, and seemed to be telling others, "How can such a person with amazing strength..."

There is no need to name names, Pei's father and Pei's mother also know their son and who they are talking about. The old couple looked at their son with sadness in their eyes.

Seeing her son eating something herself, the old couple walked out, Mother Pei couldn't help crying: "This child, he must have never known that Xiao Liao was his daughter's family before, so he refused to say that he has someone he likes. "

Father Pei's heart was full of mixed feelings, and he was stunned for a long time before he said: "...Fate is tricking people."

After eating something, Pei Ruzhuo seemed to regain some energy, as if he had made up his mind, and before he was ready to speak, Father Pei said, "Go do what you want, your father and I are not so old-fashioned."

"Father, mother." Pei Ruzhuo said, "Thank you very much."

Pei Ruzhuo went to the palace after that, and when he came back, the Prime Minister's Mansion was decorated with lights and festoons, as if they were about to get married.

In such a hurry, the outside world couldn't help guessing, which woman the Prime Minister had taken a fancy to, who was so silent, and suddenly made arrangements.

Until Liao Tao's coffin was escorted back to Beijing by the army, it was the joy of the Prime Minister's Mansion that played along with the mourning and music. Under the watchful eyes of the Prime Minister, the coffin was carried into the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion. What she was holding was Liao Tao's tablet.

Thousands of words are stuck in my throat, and I can't say a word.

This is a wedding that no one dares to congratulate.

He only vaguely understands that these two people have not married for so many years, and that's why.

At night, the red happy characters and other decorations under the lights are particularly dazzling. Pei Ruzhuo walked in holding the memorial tablet, sat at the table and looked at the memorial tablet while drinking. He is not good at drinking, and he can't do it after a few drinks. Remember the past, At the palace banquet, Liao Tao had to hold a few more drinks for him so as not to make mistakes.

"I really regret it." Pei Ruzhuo leaned on the table, "I treat you only because of that accident, you and I talk about everything, treat them as confidants, I have already..."

I have long been impressed by your excellence, your strength, and your soul. You are so unique and so important to him.

"No! No no no..."

The sudden movement from behind made Pei Ruzhuo half awake from the wine, he approached the bed a little at a loss, and lifted the bulging quilt.

It was a wife on the bed.

Liao Tao was bound and gagged and stuffed into the bed, her whole face was flushed, she didn't know if she was in a hurry or something...

Pei Ruzhuo was a little dumbfounded for a moment, and rubbed his eyes hard, thinking that he was hallucinating, or he had bumped into a ghost.

Then she was kicked by the ghost, and after suffering the pain, she hurriedly reached out to untie the rope on her body.

Liao Tao grabbed the cloth out of his mouth and cursed loudly: "Grass!"

"Now do you believe it?" A joking voice came from the top of his head, and Pei Ruzhuo looked up only to realize that someone had dug a hole out of his roof, and the person on top of his head smiled and said, "The person you like is also I like you."

After saying this, the person who planned all this fled.

Pei Ruzhuo was a little dumbfounded, looked at the humanity in front of him and said: "You..."

"I'm always afraid that if I regain my daughter's body, if I get married, I will miss the battlefield again." Liao Tao turned her head slightly, "And if the matter of the woman disguised as a man is exposed, won't it also implicate you."

"But, but this matter has nothing to do with me this time, before I even realized it, I was tied up by the Queen's empress!"

"I know, I know everything." Pei Ruzhuo took her hand, "Then if what you're worried about isn't worth worrying about, are you willing to be my wife?"

"I... I'm all here, so what can I say?"

Pei Ruzhuo suffered this again before going to sleep!
The next day, when the old couple of the Pei family learned that the newlyweds were coming to pay their respects, they were both stunned.

The moment they saw Liao Tao, both of them were stunned again.

Pei Ruzhuo explained for a long time before explaining clearly to the old couple.

As a result, the old couple both beat him again!
Especially Pei's mother's beating was really real. Yesterday, her eyes were swollen from crying because of it, but today she had a big reversal. There was really some inexplicable anger stuck in her heart. !
The regret that the world was still feeling yesterday has completely disappeared today, and it is only then that they suddenly realize that it has been passed on from person to person, knowing that all this is a play deliberately created by the empress for these two people.

Not only Pei Ruzhuo was tricked, but everyone was tricked. The courtier rushed to ask for an explanation, but he punched cotton.

The emperor said: "If you are dissatisfied, you can go to the queen to talk about it."

"Oh, Mr. Pei, Mr. Liao! Congratulations!"

"The empress's move is wonderful! It will directly lead to a good marriage!"

"Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations!"

Pei Ruzhuo and Liao Tao were left, newlyweds, sweet and ignorant, receiving blessings from their colleagues there.
