Madam, look at the sword!

Chapter 2 Two Marriages

In the middle of the continent, the rain poured down suddenly.

Like thousands of silver threads, hanging on the city walls, streets, and cornices, like crystal clear bead curtains.

The entire city of Kyoto seemed to be separated by curtains of raindrops, and seemed to be stagnant.

But in fact, everything in the city is running normally.

The incense in Wannian Temple, which was usually not strong, was still so deserted today. Only three or two people came to burn incense and pay homage to their ancestors, looking a little pious in the rain.

The Yunluo Ancient Road is completely different. Paper umbrellas of different colors form a sea of ​​flowers. The ten-mile long street is bustling with people and extremely prosperous. The rain did not stop tourists from traveling, but seemed to add some elegance.

The atmosphere of life is the richest in the Twelve Squares. There are many women from poor families washing clothes under the eaves with rainwater, and watching the children playing under the eaves, the smiles on their faces are extremely simple.

All major government offices were operating normally. The police officers were running in the rain with their hats on, not knowing where they were going to handle the case. The soldiers guarding the city stood at the top of the city and secretly took two bites of sesame seed cakes in their pockets. The imperial guards were dressed in silver in the imperial city. The nails reflect the silvery sky
This is a scene that has been repeated for decades in the imperial capital. If there are no accidents, this scene will continue to repeat tomorrow, so the accident happened.

At dusk, news came from the palace, which had just concluded a grand banquet.

——The third prince in the Great Wilderness Mission proposed marriage in public because he fell in love with the little princess, and the emperor actually agreed verbally.

As a result, the entire imperial capital was in chaos.

……

When the rain gradually stopped and the light began to shine, Wannian Temple, which had not been popular all year round, suddenly welcomed a large number of pilgrims.

The smell of sandalwood mixed with the moist air lingered in people's noses. The usually empty and deserted hall was actually filled with kneeling people, which really made the Taoist priests in the temple look confused.

After listening carefully, I found that these pilgrims had very unified wishes.

"My lord, Dao Ancestor, the little princess is the best woman in the world. We must not let her marry into a place where birds don't shit in the wilderness."

"May the princess avoid this disaster and avoid this disaster."

……

The Yunluo Ancient Road is extremely lively. Visitors from all over the world are feeling that changes are happening little by little in this prosperous week.

"Close the stall, close the stall, no more sales!"

A silk merchant who had just heard the news was smiling all over his face a moment ago, but he became irritable the next moment.

Like him, there were many merchants from the Zhou Dynasty who had undergone a dramatic change of mood. One of them said angrily: "How can we be so virtuous in the wilderness? Why can we marry our princess? Didn't Prince Dangbei just conquer them?" , why don’t we marry their princess instead of marrying our princess!”

As soon as this statement came out, it aroused strong resonance, and the shouts and curses gradually spread along the ten-mile street.

It was said that the people of Zhou Tian were fierce and fierce, but it was not until they later heard some people publicly cursing the emperor that tourists from other countries finally gained this understanding.

……

Many children in the Twelve Squares lost interest in playing after hearing the news.

The washerwomen who were trying to take advantage of God also stopped, thinking about the fate of the little princess, and then thinking about themselves, they immediately felt the same, and the sadness came to the top of their hearts.

Tonight, many gentlemen returned home not only without hot food, but also found that their wives, who usually remained silent no matter how much they were wronged or endured, had become less virtuous.

But once the grievances of a creature like Zhou Tian's woman come up, she is like a tiger coming out of its cage and opening the floodgates to release the flood. Not only does she dare to scold her husband, she also dares to point her fingers at the sky and the earth...
……

Among the major government offices, the detectives who went to handle the case did not slow down because of the weather. Instead, they felt their legs were filled with lead because of the news that the young county chief was getting married.

The soldier guarding the city also heard other people's comments. He took out half a piece of sesame seed cake from his pocket and took a bite. It felt like chewing wax. He wondered why the sesame seed cakes of the old bakery were no longer fragrant. ?
The Imperial City Guards were also very aggrieved. During the day, they were standing still and majestic in their silver armor reflecting the rain. Now they were standing in front of the imperial city gate, and the darkness reflected by their silver armor was overwhelming the kneeling people, feeling depressed.

……

Tonight is a sleepless night for the Zhou Tian Dynasty in Kyoto.

Because the youngest princess in the Wei royal family, the owner of the most Wannianguan prayer cards, the jewel in the eyes of thousands of merchants on the Yunluo Ancient Road, the light in the eyes of countless ordinary women in Twelve Squares, and the dream of every young man in all major government offices Lover - getting married.

As the storm subsided, the news continued to ferment.

The people became increasingly unable to accept how the newly defeated Dahuang could marry the princess of Zhou Tian?
It would be fine if it were another little princess. Why is Wei Huanchu the little princess who is the most popular among the people in Zhoutian?

So tonight, Kyoto, which should have been lit with thousands of lights, turned into a mirror of night after nightfall, as dark as ink.The people actually used the method of extinguishing the lights to silently and resolutely protest to the only brightly lit imperial city in the city.

In the imperial city, today's protagonist, the young princess Wei Huanchu, was staring blankly at the candlelight swaying in the breeze outside the window, seeming to be thinking about how to deal with this unexpected marriage.

The candlelight illuminated her pretty face, which was as soft as fat. Under the long and thick eyelashes were a pair of eyes that were so clear that they seemed to be able to project all the beauty in the world. Her red lips were pursed into a line, coupled with the unique beauty of a 16-year-old girl. The sense of posture, just sitting like this, is like the person in the painting.

Not far away from her, a graceful and elegant man looked sad, his eyes were red, and he wondered if the woman who had just cried was his mother, Princess Jing.

Her father, the seventh-ranked Prince of the Wei family, a middle-aged man whom the world calls King Xian, was pacing around, muttering: "What should we do? What should we do?"

This scene has been going on for some time.

Wei Huanchu held his chin with one hand, showing off his charm, and asked, "Where is my brother?"

After hearing the sound, King Xian realized that his youngest son was missing, and immediately ordered his servants to search for him.

Not long after, someone reported: "His Royal Highness went to the imperial study room and was kneeling outside the door. He said that if the emperor did not take back his orders, he would not get up."

King Xian was shocked when he heard this, and repeated what he should do, but in the end he did not ask anyone to drag his youngest son back. He must have had some hope, after all, his father usually treated his little grandson Love it.

When Wei Huanchu heard his brother's actions, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and a shallow dimple appeared on his face.

Seeing that her daughter was still smiling, Princess Jing couldn't help but said, "Chu'er, have you thought of a way?"

After listening to her words, King Xian, who was supposed to be the backbone of the family but was not, also immediately cast his gaze: "Chu'er must have found a solution!"

Wei Huan smiled at first not because he had thought of a solution, but because of his brother's behavior, he felt warm in his heart. Now he looked at the parents in front of him who didn't know how to describe it and scratched his head again.

Although he was a little naive, his little mind was even more determined that he must stay in Kyoto.

As a rebirth, no, a reincarnation, in her previous life she was a Taoist dog who was obsessed with practicing and did not care about worldly affairs just for the sake of immortality. However, she also knew some important things and knew what Zhou Tian would look like three years later.

And in the past 16 years of her life, even though she was born into an emperor's family, she has not been unkind or ungrateful.

Her father has no ambitions. If the eldest prince is recognized by the civil and military palaces as the wise king, her father, the seventh prince, is recognized by the entire Kyoto as the idle king.
Except when he took the blame, many brothers dared to push him out, and he was completely unaware of his poor IQ. He was extremely affectionate towards his mother. He had said publicly that he was loved without marrying a concubine. He was regarded as a prince at home. He even washed his mother's feet.

My mother is a straight-laced person, informal and friendly to others. Although she comes from a well-established family, I don't know if she is too protective. Most of the time, she is very naive and childish, and she does things more emotionally than rationally.

These qualities are not a bad thing for ordinary couples, especially for her daughter, who has been able to feel the love and warmth of the family since she was a child. However...it is very easy for her parents to fall into the trap of Wang Ye Jing and Princess Wang. Crisis.

The little princess Wei Huanchu knew very well that her parents were not easy to take care of.
If he leaves, given the direction of history in three years, this loving couple trapped in an imperial family will most likely be tricked to death while still counting money.

So she must stay in Kyoto.

Wei Huanchu stood up and pushed open the half-closed window lattice on the second floor. She wanted to take a breath, but she saw the city of Kyoto tonight. There was no light in the city, so she suddenly had an idea and said without warning:

"Everyone knows that there are six realms in cultivation. The first three realms are perception, energy condensation, and essence quenching."

"To enter the realm of Yuan Yuan, you need to break through twelve meridians. Each meridian gate corresponds to a different position in the body. The number of meridian gates broken determines the upper limit of the practitioner's future. The practice of breaking through all the meridian gates in the four seas of Kyushu There are only a handful of them, and the most difficult of the twelve vein gates is the Spiritual Pivot Gate at the head."

"If you break through the spiritual hub, you will have the opportunity to become a mind master and kill people invisible. The legend that you can kill your enemy with just one look is not groundless."

Listening to her words, the royal couple was very puzzled.

"Chu'er, can you tell me the important point..."

"What does this have to do with marriage?"

Wei Huanchu raised his green finger, pointed at the dark night outside the window, and said softly:

"There is a book recording that if you want to break through the Lingshu Vein Gate, it is like using your mind to go through the ink-black night to find the light. However, if it fails, the practitioner will suffer from epilepsy and confusion even if he does not die. "

"Once Grandpa Huang opened his mouth, it was hard to stop it. He must have a force majeure reason to take back his life."

After saying this, the little princess Wei Huanchu turned around, her childish and pretty face showed some determination, and she looked at her parents with bright eyes and said: "Living towards death is a policy."

King Xian and Princess Jing didn't understand the methods of reincarnated people. They couldn't hide their shock when they heard their daughter's words.
It was dark in Kyoto that night, the city and the sky were the same color, and the couple was shocked.
