Chapter 198 Princess Zhang of Li Guo, who holds the pearl, was born for him!
Chapter 198: Zhangzhu Chapter Princess Li, born for him!
Xi Liemo's father, King Xiqiang, was an ambitious king. He was planning the grand plan of annexing the Li country. After he took the throne, he had been thinking day and night how to realize his grand plan, and was exhausted.
However, in contrast to his ambition, he is a very dedicated man. After he married Xi Liemo's mother, the most beautiful woman in Xiqiang, she became the queen, and never touched another woman.
The Xiqiang royal family and the imperial court have made many protests, believing that the Xiqiang king has the obligation to spread the branches and leaves for the Xiqiang.
However, Xi Liemo's maternal ancestor, the natal family of Queen Xiqiang, was also a well-known prominent family in Xiqiang. Coupled with the strength and persistence of the king of Xiqiang, nothing happened in the end.
When Xi Liemo was born, auspicious auspiciousness fell from the sky of Xiqiang Kingdom, and the sky was filled with colorful rays of light. The people of Xiqiang who believed in heaven thought that he was the son of heaven sent by heaven to save Xiqiang.
His appearance combined all the advantages of his father, queen and queen. He was the most handsome and unparalleled man in Xiqiang when he was born.
Later, the king of Xiqiang met the later national teacher, originally named Gou Zhidong, and later named Xizhidong. With his assistance, the hand of the Xiqiang Kingdom extended to the capital of the Li Kingdom, and even the palace.
Therefore, many things that happened in Li State were spread to Xiqiang in the fastest time.
When Xi Liemo was six years old, Princess Zhangzhu was born. Her beautiful appearance shocked Li Guo and aroused the curiosity of Xiqiang King.Later, a portrait of Zhangzhu was sent back to Xiqiang along with other information.
Looking at the picture of a sleeping baby in his hand, the King of Xiqiang had to admit that when she grows up, Princess Zhangzhu will definitely be the most beautiful woman in the world.
He looked at his son's handsome and unparalleled face, and thought that the only woman who could match his son would be Princess Palm Pearl, so he joked, "Mo'er, Princess Palm Palm seems to be for you." I was born, how about marrying her as queen in the future?"
At that time, Xi Liemo didn't understand that his father's ambition was implied in such jokes.He glanced at the baby in the painting, and thought she was so cute, so he grinned.
Since then, every few months, there will always be a large number of daily portraits of Zhangzhu sent to the Xiqiang Palace. And the movements are vivid, as if you saw it with your own eyes on the spot.
When Princess Zhangzhu grew older, in the portraits sent back, she was the only one who abided by the princess etiquette and was dignified and proud.However, Xi Liemo, who was familiar with every expression of hers, could know from the subtle changes in her eyes whether she was disdainful, angry or bored at that time.
These portraits accompanied him through his youthful years. She will definitely be his queen, and she has become an obsession that he has never doubted in his heart.
Even when he heard that Zhang Zhu fell in love with a man, he never doubted this: she fell in love with someone else, it was because he did not appear, if he appeared, she would definitely fall in love with him!
Because his father said that Princess Zhangzhu of Li Kingdom was born for him!
-
As the eldest princess of the Li Kingdom, and the most beloved daughter of the Emperor and the Empress, Zhangzhu's dowry is so large that even princes and nobles would be speechless. Objects for palm beads.
The Xiqiang officials who came to deliver the betrothal gifts said that the gifts given to the princess were all carefully selected by their great king Xi Liemo himself.The implication is just to show how much Xi Liemo values her!
Heh, Zhangzhu sneered inwardly, accepted the gifts politely, turned around and let someone lock them into the cabinet.
Zhang Zhu bid farewell to His Majesty the Emperor and Empress Empress, and when she left the palace, she didn't cry.
She chooses the path, no matter what, she will do her best to walk in the direction she wants to go.
Xi Liemo sent someone to send Xiqiang's wedding dress, but Zhangzhu didn't wear it. She insisted on wearing Li's wedding dress when she was in Li State, and when she arrived in Xiqiang, she changed into Xiqiang's wedding dress, and Xiqiang greeted her relatives The regiment officials acquiesced after discussion.
Tonight is the first night that Zhangzhu left the Li Kingdom Palace, the close maid Ruyue helped her change out of the gorgeous wedding dress, took off the heavy phoenix crown on her head, and thoughtfully pinched Zhangzhu's already stiff neck.
The phoenix crown is inlaid with countless luxurious gemstones, and it is made of pure gold, at least it weighs about ten catties, and it lasted a whole day with the palm beads.
This is the wish of His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress, she cannot let her down, and as a woman, who has never imagined the day of marriage in her life?
For Zhangzhu, even though her marriage is a political marriage, it doesn't matter if she fulfills the dream of a newlywed in her heart.
After the shoulders and neck relaxed a bit, Zhangzhu waved his hands to let Ruyue go down to rest.
She was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, with her hair loose, looking at herself in the mirror with a pale complexion and a little bit of confusion, she was stunned for a moment.
Then the man in the mirror showed a bitter and fragile smile that had never been seen before.
Zhangzhu closed her eyes slowly, she has not regretted it yet, but please allow her to be vulnerable alone for a while.
After a few breaths, there was a numb and sore feeling from the sore shoulders. There were hands moving around her shoulders, gently pinching and kneading, and the massage gestures were extremely skilled, helping her relieve fatigue.
The strength is stronger than that of the moon, presumably it is the accompanying palace nurse.
No wonder the queen mother trusted her so much, the massage skills alone were enough to disdain the entire palace.
Zhang Zhu closed her eyes, and the refreshing energy stretched all the way to her back, making her unable to help but make a sound.
The hands seemed to pause.
Zhang Zhu thought that she must be tired after a day's journey today, and she is not young, and there are still more than two months' journey to Xiqiang, Zhang Zhu was really worried that her body would not be able to bear it.
So he opened his eyes and said, "Nurse, you have been tired all day, go down and rest first!"
However, what emerged in the mirror was a unparalleled face that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, with evil and slender eyes, and the corners of the mouth curled up with playfulness.
There was an indistinct darkness in those eyes.
Zhang Zhu let out a cry of surprise, almost jumped up from the dressing table, pointed at the man opposite, and said incoherently: "You...you..."
"Is the princess overjoyed to see this king?" The corners of Xi Liemo's mouth became more and more curved.
Thinking that this man had massaged her for so long just now, Zhang Zhu was furious. Seeing his hideous smiling face, without even thinking about it, he waved his hand vigorously.
It's just that this time it didn't hit Xi Liemo's face like it did on the night of the Lantern Festival, but was stopped by him halfway.
He held her wrist, neither light nor heavy, but with just enough strength that she couldn't break free.
"Let go!" Zhang Zhu said coldly with a sullen face.
"If the princess promises not to do anything casually with this king, I will let it go." Xi Liemo was not affected by her expression at all, and smiled abhorrently.
Zhangzhu said angrily: "Your Majesty sneaked into this princess' room in the middle of the night and disrespected her. Not to mention just doing it, even if he was hacked as an assassin, no one would dare to say no!"
"Disrespect?" The sharpness in Xi Liemo's eyes flashed past, and then returned to normal, and said with a light smile: "This king loves his fiancée very much, and he personally helped her relieve the pain, why not respect?"
"Before your majesty took action, did you ever think about asking the princess' wishes?" Zhang Zhu lowered his eyes and stared at his wrist, the big hand with sharp bones was annoying no matter how he looked at it.
Xi Liemo's eyes flickered, "What does the princess mean, you don't want to?"
Zhang Zhu's voice was cold, "My lord, although this princess is the future queen of Xiqiang, she is still the princess of the Li country and is still on the land of the Li country! Our Li country has always paid attention to etiquette. It is not allowed, let alone such a disrespectful move by the king?"
Xi Liemo's voice was also two points colder, and he said casually: "This king has not traveled thousands of miles, and I came to Li Kingdom to welcome the bride dressed as a bodyguard. I just wanted to surprise the princess! Now it seems that the princess is not only not half moved, Instead, accuse the king of not having the slightest courtesy!"
"Your Majesty came to greet the bride in person. This princess is naturally grateful for your great love, but please establish your great love on the basis of proper etiquette. Whether Zhang Zhu is the princess of the Li country or the future queen of Xiqiang, everyone will be happy." Words and deeds are a model of women's behavior in the world! Please understand and understand the difficulty of Zhangzhu!"
The head of the palm bead turned slightly, "It's late at night, please keep your mouth shut about tonight's matter! Please go slowly, the king will not give you the palm bead!"
The expression in Xi Lie's eyes deepened, his eyes locked onto Zhang Zhu's perfect profile, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.
After a long time, with a smile on his face, he cupped his hands and said, "Princess, rest early, my lord, don't bother me!"
After Xi Liemo left, the Xiqiang attendant who was entangled with Ayu outside the door withdrew the sword in his hand.
Ayu entered the palm bead room, knelt down and pleaded guilty: "The subordinate just went to arrange manpower for the night, but failed to prevent outsiders from entering in time, please forgive me, princess!"
Zhang Zhu rubbed the center of her brows, "Get up! It's none of your business! It's getting late, and you have to hurry tomorrow morning, so go down and rest first!"
After a pause, he said again: "Call Ruyue in!"
Ayu said yes and exited the room.
As long as he thinks that Xi Liemo has pinched his shoulders for a long time, Zhang Zhu will feel extremely depressed, even though it is through his clothes.
She has to wash it ten more times, and burn this shirt immediately!Zhang Zhu secretly hated.
Then he thought about how he was seen by that mess just now, with his unlined clothes and disheveled hair, and he hated him even more!
After Xi Liemo got out of Zhangzhu's room, his bodyguard A Cong immediately followed behind him.
A Cong's complexion was very ugly, full of anger, his master, King Xiqiang, disguised himself as a bodyguard and came to Li Kingdom with the wedding party, without telling the truth from the government and the people, just to surprise the future queen!
But the princess not only didn't appreciate it, but also scolded her master for not knowing the rules!
What made him even more puzzled was that his master's kindness was treated like a donkey's liver and lungs. The other party was not only not moved, but was kicked out. There was no trace of anger. Very happy mood!
Xi Liemo was not without anger. When Zhangzhu accused him of disregarding her wishes, entering her room privately, pretending to be her servant, and massaging her as a disrespect to her, Xi Liemo was indeed angry. A moment of unhappiness.
However, Xi Liemo felt that all of this was worth it for her palm-sized and beautiful face hidden in her black hair, and her fragility that she had never shown in front of others!worth!
If he could get a little more sweetness, he felt that it wouldn't matter even if he was slapped again by Zhang Zhu, just like the last night of Lantern Festival, in the Li Kingdom Palace.
Xi Liemo gently caressed his sexy thin lips with her fingers, and a gleam flashed in her eyes.
-
Now that Xi Liemo has found his whereabouts, he can't continue to stay among the attendants as before.
After recovering their identities, Li Guo's accompanying officials and Xi Qiang's welcoming group had to greet Xi Liemo in addition to greeting Zhang Zhu every day.
In terms of status, Zhang Zhu also needs to greet Xi Liemo!
However, according to the customs of the Li country, unmarried couples who are going to get married are not suitable to meet before marriage.
Moreover, in Zhang Zhu's heart, he was very willing to abide by this etiquette, so he had no intention of going to greet Xi Liemo every day.
However, this is the custom of the Li country, not the custom of the Western Qiang.
The next morning, Xi Liemo met with Li Guo's wedding officials, and after a while, he seemed to have no intention of saying: "According to our Western Qiang custom, the future queen should be with this king to accept everyone's greetings! But I don't know Princess of your country, why don't you come out with me?"
Among the wedding officials was an official from the Ministry of Etiquette, he stood up immediately, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, it is the custom of our country that unmarried couples should not meet before they get married!"
"Oh? This is the first time I've heard of it!" Xi Liemo gently rubbed his chin back and forth with one finger, leaning forward slightly, forming an invisible pressure,
"It stands to reason that the princess, as the eldest princess of the Li country, naturally has to abide by the etiquette of the Li country, but she is also the future queen of Xiqiang.
When the customs of the two countries conflict, I don’t know what Master Yu thinks, should the princess of your country continue to follow the customs of the Li country, or change to follow the customs of our Xiqiang? "
"This..." Mr. Yu of the Ministry of Rites wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Your Majesty, I need to discuss with other officials of the Ministry of Rites before replying to Your Majesty."
"Okay, I'll give you half an hour. After discussing, please give me a quick result!" Xi Liemo sat up straight, with a half-smile,
"I heard that the rules set by the Ministry of Rites of the Li Kingdom must be obeyed by the whole country, including His Majesty the Emperor and all members of the royal family.
Therefore, I hope Master Yu can uphold the spirit of the Ministry of Rites, don't give in to the powerful, put etiquette first in everything, and then give me a satisfactory answer! "
"Yes, Your Majesty!" These words clearly implied that it is not appropriate to ask the princess for advice on this matter!Master Yu understands it.
In only half an hour, he quickly summoned several other officials from the Ministry of Rites to discuss countermeasures.
Since the founding of the Li Kingdom, there has never been a precedent for a princess to marry outside. This time Zhangzhu married to Xiqiang, which made the Ministry of Rites very troubled, because there is no precedent for everything.
Logically speaking, if Xi Liemo didn't show up, everything would be done according to Li country's customs before leaving Li country, and everyone including the Xiqiang wedding group would have no objection.
As a result, the appearance of Xi Liemo broke all these rules.
Because he is the king of a country, and Zhang Zhu is his future queen.
In fact, in terms of etiquette, the Ministry of Rites can still insist on staying in the territory of the Li country and following the customs of the Li country; but in terms of love, Master Yu, who is seasoned in the world, feels that even if His Majesty the Emperor is here, he should agree to follow the customs of the Western Qiang Come.
Because Xi Liemo is the future husband of Princess Zhangzhu, and the honor and disgrace of Princess Zhangzhu in the Western Qiang Palace in the future are all tied to Xi Liemo. It is much more important than customs and etiquette for the palace to gain a firm foothold as soon as possible!
As soon as Lord Yu said this, the other adults agreed deeply, and then Lord Yu returned to Xi Liemo: "Since the king came to marry Princess Zhangzhu in person, naturally everything must be done according to the Western Qiang etiquette!"
"That's great!" Xi Lie showed a satisfied smile on Mo Junmei's face, "How about this, Lord Yu, I will go to Princess Zhangzhu's place with everyone and tell her the good news."
This... Master Yu paused, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Last night, after taking a bath again, rubbing her shoulders red, and cutting the unlined clothes to 18 yuan, Zhang Zhu had a good night's sleep.
After breakfast, she sat in the room, waited for Li Guo's wedding officials and the Xiqiang family welcoming group to come to say hello, and then set off for the next station.
After all the guests arrived, a court lady opened the door, and everyone could only see the faintly graceful figure behind the screen.
"Princess, thousand years old, thousand years old!" Everyone shouted on the ground.
The tall figures stood beside the officials, and they could not be seen from the inside.
"Get up." Zhang Zhu's elegant and majestic voice came from behind the screen, "It's getting late, get ready to go."
"Princess! I have something to announce!" Master Yu said hurriedly.
"Master Yu, please tell me!" Zhang Zhu said politely.
Lord Yu cupped his hands and said, "Princess, since the King of Xiqiang came to greet the bride in person, please follow the etiquette of Xiqiang, and from tomorrow onwards, the King of Xiqiang will accept the kneeling of the officials of the two countries together!"
"What?" Zhangzhu's voice suddenly rose, with restrained anger, "Why do we have to abide by the etiquette of the Western Qiang within the borders of our country?"
"Didn't Master Yu say it? Because this king came in person, and this king is the princess's future husband, so the princess should put this king first!"
Xi Liemo's sexy voice sounded, vaguely with a hint of inexplicable meaning, "I heard that all etiquette in your country is governed by the Ministry of Rites, and your majesty the emperor is not allowed to violate it. The princess is planning to break this rule." Is it traditional?"
Zhang Zhu behind the screen was so angry that his face was reddish, and his hands clenched into fists trembled slightly.
She originally thought that after last night, she would not need to meet that annoying guy before leaving the border of Li country.
Unexpectedly, the next day, he used the Ministry of Rites to suppress her!
Could it be that for more than two months on this journey, she had to see that annoying guy every day?
Even if Zhang Zhu just thought about it like this, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart!
"Princess," Kisaragi whispered beside her, the people outside had been waiting for a while, she had to make up her mind as soon as possible.
Zhangzhu took two deep breaths, and after the anger in her heart eased, she said lightly: "This princess knows!"
After setting off on the road, Zhang Zhu sitting in the sedan chair couldn't calm down, no matter what, she didn't want to see Naxi Liemo every day!
But the more he didn't want to see him, the more Xi Liemo seemed to want to prove his existence. When he was resting or walking, he would send a girl to deliver something from time to time.
Sometimes it's water, sometimes fruit, sometimes gadgets, sometimes refreshments.
After rejecting it twice, under the disapproving eyes of Madam Gong, no one would refuse the palm beads, and they would accept all of them as they were ordered.
Of course, in the end, all of them fell into the stomachs of the few palace maids of Li who followed her.
-
Ayu was on duty tonight, so she sent someone to guard the door of Zhangzhu's room, and after confirming everything was correct, she patrolled around the courtyard where Zhangzhu was located.
Because it was the princess and the king of another country who stayed here, the yard of the post house was opened to the highest level, but compared with the imperial palace, it was still very different.
Ayu can stroll around the courtyard where Zhangzhu is located in almost only one stick of incense.
The night in early winter was very cold, and Ayu breathed out and walked quickly in the yard, warming up his whole body quickly.
Suddenly, she heard a slight noise, "Who?" Ayu lowered her voice.
The courtyard in the other building was small, and she was afraid of disturbing Princess Zhangzhu inside, so she put the sword across her chest and tiptoed towards the source of the sound.
There was no one around, except for a small piece of dead branch not far from the courtyard gate, which was obviously trampled off, implying that someone had tried to approach the courtyard.
Ayu took a closer look at the lines on the broken branch, and roughly judged from which direction it was stepped on, then stood up and looked in that direction.
The most likely ones are the courtyard in the middle where Xi Liemo is, and the courtyard where the Xiqiang bridegroom group is on the right, but it cannot be ruled out that it is a member of the official Li Guo on the left who deliberately went around to the right to confuse the audience.
Ayu thought for a while, walked along the road on the right, bent her waist, and searched carefully all the way. Sure enough, a simple and inconspicuous pearl hairpin fell in the middle of the stone crevice on one side.
The color is similar to that of a stone, if Ah Yu hadn't looked carefully, she would have missed it.
The style of the pearl hairpin is simple and unadorned, and the workmanship is rough. Although Ayu doesn't have much research on women's things, he can tell that they are not from the Li country.
Ayu held the pearl hairpin in her hand and thought for a while, then called another person to patrol, and she came to the door of the bead holding room.
"Princess, are you asleep?"
Zhang Zhu was depressed because he was going to see Xi Liemo tomorrow and accepted the greetings from the accompanying officials of the two countries, and lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Hearing Ayu's voice, he sat up and said, "Ayu, come in!"
Because of the fact that Xi Liemo sneaked into her room last night, Zhang Zhu, who didn't like the presence of palace servants in the room, arranged for the palace maid Ruyue to sleep under the couch to accompany him.
Her own princess couldn't fall asleep, Ruyue didn't dare to fall asleep no matter how tired she was, when she heard the princess calling Ayu in, Ruyue hurriedly stood up and held the lamp.
After Ayu opened the door and saluted, she handed the pearl hairpin in her hand to Zhangzhu, "Princess, please look!"
The pearl hairpin was very ordinary, so naturally it couldn't catch Zhangzhu's eyes. She glanced at it casually, and was more curious about why Ayu brought such an ordinary pearl hairpin to her in the middle of the night, "Ayu, tell me what you have to say!"
"Princess, when my subordinates were on patrol just now, they heard noises at the gate of the courtyard, but there was no one when they approached. Later, they searched all the way and found this pearl hairpin."
Ayu's face is always expressionless, "Looking at the style and handicraft, it doesn't look like something from our Li country. Only people from the Li country and Xiqiang live in this inn. If it's not something from Li, it's something from Xiqiang! "
Zhangzhu said: "You mean that some people from Xiqiang approached the gate of the courtyard, and after alarming you, they left again. In a panic, they left this pearl hairpin behind?"
"Yes, princess!" Ayu said: "This pearl hairpin looks quite cheap, it should belong to a daughter of the Western Qiang."
"Mistress of Xiqiang?" I believe there are many people in Xiqiang who are curious about her, but those who are so eager to know everything about her are probably only those beauties in Xiliemo Palace.
Zhangzhu yawned boredly, and told Ayu: "As long as those people don't go too far, let them make trouble!"
"Yes! Princess!" Ayu replied respectfully, and stepped back.
"Princess, it's getting late, and I have to go on my way tomorrow." Ruyue turned off the oil lamp and said softly, "Go to bed earlier, if this continues, your body will not be able to take it anymore."
Too much?She can't stand it!
Can't bear it, can't bear it... Zhangzhu who just lay down sat up suddenly again, her eyes glowed like night pearls in the darkness, and even her voice became a bit strange:
"Ruyue, go and tell King Xiqiang tomorrow morning that the princess has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and her body is a bit overwhelmed by the long-distance trek in such cold winter weather, and she has signs of contracting a cold.
If the king is the favored son of heaven, if he accidentally infects him, the princess cannot afford such a crime, so the princess will not go with the king to accept the greetings from the officials of the two countries. "
"Princess..." Kisaragi was a little puzzled, the princess was obviously well, why did she pretend to be sick?
But Zhang Zhu had already lay down and said nothing, the corners of his mouth curled up in the darkness, revealing a smug smile.
Doesn't this etiquette say that people don't get sick?The princess is sick, no one can blame her if she doesn't go, right?
Zhang Zhu heheed twice, after solving the troubles in his heart, he fell asleep with a smile on his face.
Because she was ill, Zhangzhu naturally got up late in the morning, and was served by Ruyue, and had breakfast in bed.
Over there, after breakfast, Xi Liemo and the officials from the two countries were waiting for Zhang Zhu to go and accept greetings together.
When it was almost time, Xi Liemo looked at the entrance with a smile on his face, waiting for that proud little man to step in.
It was Kisaragi who came in.
The moment she stepped in, everyone looked at her, and the respect in their eyes turned into doubt.
Under the gaze of so many people, Ruyue's legs softened, and she couldn't help but kneel on the ground, "My lord, the princess has never gone out in such cold weather, so she has been a little overwhelmed in the past two days.
The princess said that the king's dragon body is precious, and he is afraid of infecting the king. In the past few days, he will not receive the gift with the king, and the adults don't have to go to pay his respects. "
The princess is sick?Officials of Li Guo whispered for a while.
"Have you ever asked the imperial doctor to see it? What did the imperial doctor say?" Xi Liemo frowned slightly, with a worried tone.
"Not yet, the princess was worried that the king would wait for a long time, so she sent her servants to report to the king." Ruyue lowered her head, not daring to lift it up.
Xi Liemo's eyes swept across her crouching, slightly trembling body, and she knew it in her heart.
"Since the princess is ill today, everyone should disperse first." The corners of his lips curled up slightly, with a half-smile: "Doctor Liu, go and check the princess's pulse immediately, and make sure she recovers as soon as possible!"
"Yes!" Imperial Physician Liu from Li Guotai Hospital replied respectfully.
After Xi Liemo finished speaking, he stood up, "As the future husband of the princess, my fiancée is not feeling well, so I should go and visit her!"
Kisaragi's body trembled even more, "Big... Great King..."
"Is it Ruyue?" Xi Liemo leaned over and asked gently.
"Yes." Kisaragi lay on the ground and dared not get up.
Xi Liemo stood up straight, his voice suddenly rose, with a bit of sternness, "Why don't you get up quickly and lead the way?"
The poor maid Ruyue tremblingly got up from the ground slightly, and under the pressure of Xi Liemo's seemingly invisible emperor, she didn't dare to say a word.
Zhangzhu was waiting for Ruyue to come back and waited for her to get up and get dressed when she suddenly heard Ruyue's voice: "Your Majesty, Doctor Liu, please wait for a moment, the maidservant will go in and let you know."
Then came the man's sexy and deep voice: "Go in."
How did he come here?Zhangzhu's heart tightened, seeing Ruyue came in and was about to open her mouth to ask, but saw her stretch out her hand and made a shhing motion.
"Princess, are you feeling better?" Kisaragi asked while winking.
"It's much better after resting for a while." Zhangzhu coughed twice, "Jiyue, I just heard you talking to someone, but who is here?"
"Princess, it's Your Majesty and Imperial Physician Liu." Ruyue showed a look of resignation on his face, but his voice was gentle, "My Majesty heard that Princess, you are not feeling well, so he specially asked Imperial Physician Liu to show you. He was worried about you, so he wanted to come. Visit for yourself."
Zhang Zhu glared at her, and said in a weak tone: "My princess is already much better, so you don't need to bother the King and Doctor Liu.
Ruyue, go and tell the king that the princess is very grateful for his kindness, but the journey to Xiqiang is far away, in case you miss the time, you should start as soon as possible! "
"This king only now realizes that the princess is so eager to marry to Xiqiang as soon as possible!" The magnetic voice carried a smile.
The door was pushed open suddenly, Doctor Liu at the door had his head down, his eyes were staring at the ground obediently, and he didn't even dare to glance inside from the corner of his eye.
Under the shocked eyes of Zhangzhu and Ruyue, Xi Liemo strode in.
"You?" Zhang Zhu looked at the tall man walking towards her bed, and was so startled that he forgot to get angry.
Touching her forehead lightly with both hands, Xi Liemo smiled and said softly, "Princess, if you are sick, you should let the imperial doctor see it, don't hesitate to seek medical treatment.
There is no rush to go to our Western Qiang, and even if the time is delayed, the king will definitely marry the princess, so don't worry, the princess.See a doctor obediently, huh? "
Zhang Zhu opened his mouth slightly, stunned for a moment and forgot to react.
What does this mean?She didn't treat the illness because she was afraid of delaying the day of marrying him?Is it because she can't wait to marry him?
It was rare for Xi Liemo to see Zhangzhu's expression of being too stunned to react, and the smile in his eyes grew stronger, and then he raised his voice, "Yuyi Liu, come in and take the princess's pulse!"
At this time, Zhang Zhu had recovered, she stretched out her hand, pushed away Xi Liemo's hand resting on her forehead, and said angrily: "Your Majesty, this is my princess' bedroom! Your Majesty came here so uninvited, it is impolite." Count! Get out, please!"
Get out of this mess, this princess!Zhangzhu roared in his heart.
"The princess is ill. As the princess' fiancé, I am worried about the princess' condition. I came to visit him. No one can accuse me of not following the etiquette!"
Xi Liemo was not offended by her anger, but deliberately glanced at Zhang Zhuyin's perfect bulge as he sat up and slid under the quilt.
Zhangzhu breathed a sigh of relief, quickly grabbed the quilt and pulled it up, gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty has seen you now, please leave quickly!"
Putting down Xi Liemo's robe, not only did not leave, but sat down on the edge of the bed, Ruyue beside him exclaimed.
Zhang Zhu's already angry face turned redder, "Your Majesty!"
"My lord saw that the princess's complexion was red, and she seemed to be very hot. I have to wait for the imperial doctor to make a diagnosis before leaving to feel at ease!"
Xi Liemo slightly waved at Imperial Physician Liu, motioning for him to come forward for a pulse diagnosis, "Physician Liu, I'm sorry for your trouble."
When he is away from home, he can't take care of so many taboos, not to mention that Liu Yuyi is also in his early fifties, and he is a grandfather.
Doctor Liu's head has not been raised since the moment the door was opened, and it was the same when he entered.
He stared at his feet, and walked to the bed step by step, until the wrist as white as jade, covered with tulle, appeared in front of his eyes.
Physician Liu stretched out two fingers and lightly tapped on it.
After a while, she withdrew her fingers, cupped her hands and said, "Princess is fine, but she is a little weak, and the cold air enters her body. She will be fine after a good rest."
"Don't you need to take medicine?" Xi Liemo asked.
"No need." Doctor Liu said: "The medicine is three-point poisonous, so try not to take it if you can. Besides, the princess is in good health, she just needs to rest well to recover."
"Thank you, Doctor Liu, let's go down." Xi Liemo waved his hand.
"Yes." Doctor Liu lowered his head, took a few steps back, and then turned and left Zhangzhu's room.
The imperial physicians in the palace are the best at talking, and Imperial Physician Liu is no exception. What he said seems to be sick, but also seems not sick. In short, there is no need to take medicine and rest more.
"Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Liu also said just now that the princess is fine, she just needs to rest well." Zhang Zhu lay on the bed with half-closed eyes, biting the words "rest well" deliberately hard.
Xi Liemo chuckled softly, with connivance, "Princess, rest well, I will come to see you later. I will stay at this station for one more day today and leave tomorrow morning."
After he left, Zhang Zhu was so angry that he threw the pillows on the bed to the ground and shouted: "Change all the bedding! Clean the room again! Also, the princess needs to take a bath!"
Zhang Zhu rubbed vigorously the place on his forehead that Xi Liemo had touched, and gritted his teeth.
After all the replacement and cleaning were completed, the anger in Zhang Zhu's heart not only did not dissipate, but became more and more intense.
The implication of that mess before he left was that he would come to see her later?
But she really didn't want to see her, so how could she stop him from seeing her?
(End of this chapter)
Xi Liemo's father, King Xiqiang, was an ambitious king. He was planning the grand plan of annexing the Li country. After he took the throne, he had been thinking day and night how to realize his grand plan, and was exhausted.
However, in contrast to his ambition, he is a very dedicated man. After he married Xi Liemo's mother, the most beautiful woman in Xiqiang, she became the queen, and never touched another woman.
The Xiqiang royal family and the imperial court have made many protests, believing that the Xiqiang king has the obligation to spread the branches and leaves for the Xiqiang.
However, Xi Liemo's maternal ancestor, the natal family of Queen Xiqiang, was also a well-known prominent family in Xiqiang. Coupled with the strength and persistence of the king of Xiqiang, nothing happened in the end.
When Xi Liemo was born, auspicious auspiciousness fell from the sky of Xiqiang Kingdom, and the sky was filled with colorful rays of light. The people of Xiqiang who believed in heaven thought that he was the son of heaven sent by heaven to save Xiqiang.
His appearance combined all the advantages of his father, queen and queen. He was the most handsome and unparalleled man in Xiqiang when he was born.
Later, the king of Xiqiang met the later national teacher, originally named Gou Zhidong, and later named Xizhidong. With his assistance, the hand of the Xiqiang Kingdom extended to the capital of the Li Kingdom, and even the palace.
Therefore, many things that happened in Li State were spread to Xiqiang in the fastest time.
When Xi Liemo was six years old, Princess Zhangzhu was born. Her beautiful appearance shocked Li Guo and aroused the curiosity of Xiqiang King.Later, a portrait of Zhangzhu was sent back to Xiqiang along with other information.
Looking at the picture of a sleeping baby in his hand, the King of Xiqiang had to admit that when she grows up, Princess Zhangzhu will definitely be the most beautiful woman in the world.
He looked at his son's handsome and unparalleled face, and thought that the only woman who could match his son would be Princess Palm Pearl, so he joked, "Mo'er, Princess Palm Palm seems to be for you." I was born, how about marrying her as queen in the future?"
At that time, Xi Liemo didn't understand that his father's ambition was implied in such jokes.He glanced at the baby in the painting, and thought she was so cute, so he grinned.
Since then, every few months, there will always be a large number of daily portraits of Zhangzhu sent to the Xiqiang Palace. And the movements are vivid, as if you saw it with your own eyes on the spot.
When Princess Zhangzhu grew older, in the portraits sent back, she was the only one who abided by the princess etiquette and was dignified and proud.However, Xi Liemo, who was familiar with every expression of hers, could know from the subtle changes in her eyes whether she was disdainful, angry or bored at that time.
These portraits accompanied him through his youthful years. She will definitely be his queen, and she has become an obsession that he has never doubted in his heart.
Even when he heard that Zhang Zhu fell in love with a man, he never doubted this: she fell in love with someone else, it was because he did not appear, if he appeared, she would definitely fall in love with him!
Because his father said that Princess Zhangzhu of Li Kingdom was born for him!
-
As the eldest princess of the Li Kingdom, and the most beloved daughter of the Emperor and the Empress, Zhangzhu's dowry is so large that even princes and nobles would be speechless. Objects for palm beads.
The Xiqiang officials who came to deliver the betrothal gifts said that the gifts given to the princess were all carefully selected by their great king Xi Liemo himself.The implication is just to show how much Xi Liemo values her!
Heh, Zhangzhu sneered inwardly, accepted the gifts politely, turned around and let someone lock them into the cabinet.
Zhang Zhu bid farewell to His Majesty the Emperor and Empress Empress, and when she left the palace, she didn't cry.
She chooses the path, no matter what, she will do her best to walk in the direction she wants to go.
Xi Liemo sent someone to send Xiqiang's wedding dress, but Zhangzhu didn't wear it. She insisted on wearing Li's wedding dress when she was in Li State, and when she arrived in Xiqiang, she changed into Xiqiang's wedding dress, and Xiqiang greeted her relatives The regiment officials acquiesced after discussion.
Tonight is the first night that Zhangzhu left the Li Kingdom Palace, the close maid Ruyue helped her change out of the gorgeous wedding dress, took off the heavy phoenix crown on her head, and thoughtfully pinched Zhangzhu's already stiff neck.
The phoenix crown is inlaid with countless luxurious gemstones, and it is made of pure gold, at least it weighs about ten catties, and it lasted a whole day with the palm beads.
This is the wish of His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress, she cannot let her down, and as a woman, who has never imagined the day of marriage in her life?
For Zhangzhu, even though her marriage is a political marriage, it doesn't matter if she fulfills the dream of a newlywed in her heart.
After the shoulders and neck relaxed a bit, Zhangzhu waved his hands to let Ruyue go down to rest.
She was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, with her hair loose, looking at herself in the mirror with a pale complexion and a little bit of confusion, she was stunned for a moment.
Then the man in the mirror showed a bitter and fragile smile that had never been seen before.
Zhangzhu closed her eyes slowly, she has not regretted it yet, but please allow her to be vulnerable alone for a while.
After a few breaths, there was a numb and sore feeling from the sore shoulders. There were hands moving around her shoulders, gently pinching and kneading, and the massage gestures were extremely skilled, helping her relieve fatigue.
The strength is stronger than that of the moon, presumably it is the accompanying palace nurse.
No wonder the queen mother trusted her so much, the massage skills alone were enough to disdain the entire palace.
Zhang Zhu closed her eyes, and the refreshing energy stretched all the way to her back, making her unable to help but make a sound.
The hands seemed to pause.
Zhang Zhu thought that she must be tired after a day's journey today, and she is not young, and there are still more than two months' journey to Xiqiang, Zhang Zhu was really worried that her body would not be able to bear it.
So he opened his eyes and said, "Nurse, you have been tired all day, go down and rest first!"
However, what emerged in the mirror was a unparalleled face that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, with evil and slender eyes, and the corners of the mouth curled up with playfulness.
There was an indistinct darkness in those eyes.
Zhang Zhu let out a cry of surprise, almost jumped up from the dressing table, pointed at the man opposite, and said incoherently: "You...you..."
"Is the princess overjoyed to see this king?" The corners of Xi Liemo's mouth became more and more curved.
Thinking that this man had massaged her for so long just now, Zhang Zhu was furious. Seeing his hideous smiling face, without even thinking about it, he waved his hand vigorously.
It's just that this time it didn't hit Xi Liemo's face like it did on the night of the Lantern Festival, but was stopped by him halfway.
He held her wrist, neither light nor heavy, but with just enough strength that she couldn't break free.
"Let go!" Zhang Zhu said coldly with a sullen face.
"If the princess promises not to do anything casually with this king, I will let it go." Xi Liemo was not affected by her expression at all, and smiled abhorrently.
Zhangzhu said angrily: "Your Majesty sneaked into this princess' room in the middle of the night and disrespected her. Not to mention just doing it, even if he was hacked as an assassin, no one would dare to say no!"
"Disrespect?" The sharpness in Xi Liemo's eyes flashed past, and then returned to normal, and said with a light smile: "This king loves his fiancée very much, and he personally helped her relieve the pain, why not respect?"
"Before your majesty took action, did you ever think about asking the princess' wishes?" Zhang Zhu lowered his eyes and stared at his wrist, the big hand with sharp bones was annoying no matter how he looked at it.
Xi Liemo's eyes flickered, "What does the princess mean, you don't want to?"
Zhang Zhu's voice was cold, "My lord, although this princess is the future queen of Xiqiang, she is still the princess of the Li country and is still on the land of the Li country! Our Li country has always paid attention to etiquette. It is not allowed, let alone such a disrespectful move by the king?"
Xi Liemo's voice was also two points colder, and he said casually: "This king has not traveled thousands of miles, and I came to Li Kingdom to welcome the bride dressed as a bodyguard. I just wanted to surprise the princess! Now it seems that the princess is not only not half moved, Instead, accuse the king of not having the slightest courtesy!"
"Your Majesty came to greet the bride in person. This princess is naturally grateful for your great love, but please establish your great love on the basis of proper etiquette. Whether Zhang Zhu is the princess of the Li country or the future queen of Xiqiang, everyone will be happy." Words and deeds are a model of women's behavior in the world! Please understand and understand the difficulty of Zhangzhu!"
The head of the palm bead turned slightly, "It's late at night, please keep your mouth shut about tonight's matter! Please go slowly, the king will not give you the palm bead!"
The expression in Xi Lie's eyes deepened, his eyes locked onto Zhang Zhu's perfect profile, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.
After a long time, with a smile on his face, he cupped his hands and said, "Princess, rest early, my lord, don't bother me!"
After Xi Liemo left, the Xiqiang attendant who was entangled with Ayu outside the door withdrew the sword in his hand.
Ayu entered the palm bead room, knelt down and pleaded guilty: "The subordinate just went to arrange manpower for the night, but failed to prevent outsiders from entering in time, please forgive me, princess!"
Zhang Zhu rubbed the center of her brows, "Get up! It's none of your business! It's getting late, and you have to hurry tomorrow morning, so go down and rest first!"
After a pause, he said again: "Call Ruyue in!"
Ayu said yes and exited the room.
As long as he thinks that Xi Liemo has pinched his shoulders for a long time, Zhang Zhu will feel extremely depressed, even though it is through his clothes.
She has to wash it ten more times, and burn this shirt immediately!Zhang Zhu secretly hated.
Then he thought about how he was seen by that mess just now, with his unlined clothes and disheveled hair, and he hated him even more!
After Xi Liemo got out of Zhangzhu's room, his bodyguard A Cong immediately followed behind him.
A Cong's complexion was very ugly, full of anger, his master, King Xiqiang, disguised himself as a bodyguard and came to Li Kingdom with the wedding party, without telling the truth from the government and the people, just to surprise the future queen!
But the princess not only didn't appreciate it, but also scolded her master for not knowing the rules!
What made him even more puzzled was that his master's kindness was treated like a donkey's liver and lungs. The other party was not only not moved, but was kicked out. There was no trace of anger. Very happy mood!
Xi Liemo was not without anger. When Zhangzhu accused him of disregarding her wishes, entering her room privately, pretending to be her servant, and massaging her as a disrespect to her, Xi Liemo was indeed angry. A moment of unhappiness.
However, Xi Liemo felt that all of this was worth it for her palm-sized and beautiful face hidden in her black hair, and her fragility that she had never shown in front of others!worth!
If he could get a little more sweetness, he felt that it wouldn't matter even if he was slapped again by Zhang Zhu, just like the last night of Lantern Festival, in the Li Kingdom Palace.
Xi Liemo gently caressed his sexy thin lips with her fingers, and a gleam flashed in her eyes.
-
Now that Xi Liemo has found his whereabouts, he can't continue to stay among the attendants as before.
After recovering their identities, Li Guo's accompanying officials and Xi Qiang's welcoming group had to greet Xi Liemo in addition to greeting Zhang Zhu every day.
In terms of status, Zhang Zhu also needs to greet Xi Liemo!
However, according to the customs of the Li country, unmarried couples who are going to get married are not suitable to meet before marriage.
Moreover, in Zhang Zhu's heart, he was very willing to abide by this etiquette, so he had no intention of going to greet Xi Liemo every day.
However, this is the custom of the Li country, not the custom of the Western Qiang.
The next morning, Xi Liemo met with Li Guo's wedding officials, and after a while, he seemed to have no intention of saying: "According to our Western Qiang custom, the future queen should be with this king to accept everyone's greetings! But I don't know Princess of your country, why don't you come out with me?"
Among the wedding officials was an official from the Ministry of Etiquette, he stood up immediately, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, it is the custom of our country that unmarried couples should not meet before they get married!"
"Oh? This is the first time I've heard of it!" Xi Liemo gently rubbed his chin back and forth with one finger, leaning forward slightly, forming an invisible pressure,
"It stands to reason that the princess, as the eldest princess of the Li country, naturally has to abide by the etiquette of the Li country, but she is also the future queen of Xiqiang.
When the customs of the two countries conflict, I don’t know what Master Yu thinks, should the princess of your country continue to follow the customs of the Li country, or change to follow the customs of our Xiqiang? "
"This..." Mr. Yu of the Ministry of Rites wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Your Majesty, I need to discuss with other officials of the Ministry of Rites before replying to Your Majesty."
"Okay, I'll give you half an hour. After discussing, please give me a quick result!" Xi Liemo sat up straight, with a half-smile,
"I heard that the rules set by the Ministry of Rites of the Li Kingdom must be obeyed by the whole country, including His Majesty the Emperor and all members of the royal family.
Therefore, I hope Master Yu can uphold the spirit of the Ministry of Rites, don't give in to the powerful, put etiquette first in everything, and then give me a satisfactory answer! "
"Yes, Your Majesty!" These words clearly implied that it is not appropriate to ask the princess for advice on this matter!Master Yu understands it.
In only half an hour, he quickly summoned several other officials from the Ministry of Rites to discuss countermeasures.
Since the founding of the Li Kingdom, there has never been a precedent for a princess to marry outside. This time Zhangzhu married to Xiqiang, which made the Ministry of Rites very troubled, because there is no precedent for everything.
Logically speaking, if Xi Liemo didn't show up, everything would be done according to Li country's customs before leaving Li country, and everyone including the Xiqiang wedding group would have no objection.
As a result, the appearance of Xi Liemo broke all these rules.
Because he is the king of a country, and Zhang Zhu is his future queen.
In fact, in terms of etiquette, the Ministry of Rites can still insist on staying in the territory of the Li country and following the customs of the Li country; but in terms of love, Master Yu, who is seasoned in the world, feels that even if His Majesty the Emperor is here, he should agree to follow the customs of the Western Qiang Come.
Because Xi Liemo is the future husband of Princess Zhangzhu, and the honor and disgrace of Princess Zhangzhu in the Western Qiang Palace in the future are all tied to Xi Liemo. It is much more important than customs and etiquette for the palace to gain a firm foothold as soon as possible!
As soon as Lord Yu said this, the other adults agreed deeply, and then Lord Yu returned to Xi Liemo: "Since the king came to marry Princess Zhangzhu in person, naturally everything must be done according to the Western Qiang etiquette!"
"That's great!" Xi Lie showed a satisfied smile on Mo Junmei's face, "How about this, Lord Yu, I will go to Princess Zhangzhu's place with everyone and tell her the good news."
This... Master Yu paused, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Last night, after taking a bath again, rubbing her shoulders red, and cutting the unlined clothes to 18 yuan, Zhang Zhu had a good night's sleep.
After breakfast, she sat in the room, waited for Li Guo's wedding officials and the Xiqiang family welcoming group to come to say hello, and then set off for the next station.
After all the guests arrived, a court lady opened the door, and everyone could only see the faintly graceful figure behind the screen.
"Princess, thousand years old, thousand years old!" Everyone shouted on the ground.
The tall figures stood beside the officials, and they could not be seen from the inside.
"Get up." Zhang Zhu's elegant and majestic voice came from behind the screen, "It's getting late, get ready to go."
"Princess! I have something to announce!" Master Yu said hurriedly.
"Master Yu, please tell me!" Zhang Zhu said politely.
Lord Yu cupped his hands and said, "Princess, since the King of Xiqiang came to greet the bride in person, please follow the etiquette of Xiqiang, and from tomorrow onwards, the King of Xiqiang will accept the kneeling of the officials of the two countries together!"
"What?" Zhangzhu's voice suddenly rose, with restrained anger, "Why do we have to abide by the etiquette of the Western Qiang within the borders of our country?"
"Didn't Master Yu say it? Because this king came in person, and this king is the princess's future husband, so the princess should put this king first!"
Xi Liemo's sexy voice sounded, vaguely with a hint of inexplicable meaning, "I heard that all etiquette in your country is governed by the Ministry of Rites, and your majesty the emperor is not allowed to violate it. The princess is planning to break this rule." Is it traditional?"
Zhang Zhu behind the screen was so angry that his face was reddish, and his hands clenched into fists trembled slightly.
She originally thought that after last night, she would not need to meet that annoying guy before leaving the border of Li country.
Unexpectedly, the next day, he used the Ministry of Rites to suppress her!
Could it be that for more than two months on this journey, she had to see that annoying guy every day?
Even if Zhang Zhu just thought about it like this, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart!
"Princess," Kisaragi whispered beside her, the people outside had been waiting for a while, she had to make up her mind as soon as possible.
Zhangzhu took two deep breaths, and after the anger in her heart eased, she said lightly: "This princess knows!"
After setting off on the road, Zhang Zhu sitting in the sedan chair couldn't calm down, no matter what, she didn't want to see Naxi Liemo every day!
But the more he didn't want to see him, the more Xi Liemo seemed to want to prove his existence. When he was resting or walking, he would send a girl to deliver something from time to time.
Sometimes it's water, sometimes fruit, sometimes gadgets, sometimes refreshments.
After rejecting it twice, under the disapproving eyes of Madam Gong, no one would refuse the palm beads, and they would accept all of them as they were ordered.
Of course, in the end, all of them fell into the stomachs of the few palace maids of Li who followed her.
-
Ayu was on duty tonight, so she sent someone to guard the door of Zhangzhu's room, and after confirming everything was correct, she patrolled around the courtyard where Zhangzhu was located.
Because it was the princess and the king of another country who stayed here, the yard of the post house was opened to the highest level, but compared with the imperial palace, it was still very different.
Ayu can stroll around the courtyard where Zhangzhu is located in almost only one stick of incense.
The night in early winter was very cold, and Ayu breathed out and walked quickly in the yard, warming up his whole body quickly.
Suddenly, she heard a slight noise, "Who?" Ayu lowered her voice.
The courtyard in the other building was small, and she was afraid of disturbing Princess Zhangzhu inside, so she put the sword across her chest and tiptoed towards the source of the sound.
There was no one around, except for a small piece of dead branch not far from the courtyard gate, which was obviously trampled off, implying that someone had tried to approach the courtyard.
Ayu took a closer look at the lines on the broken branch, and roughly judged from which direction it was stepped on, then stood up and looked in that direction.
The most likely ones are the courtyard in the middle where Xi Liemo is, and the courtyard where the Xiqiang bridegroom group is on the right, but it cannot be ruled out that it is a member of the official Li Guo on the left who deliberately went around to the right to confuse the audience.
Ayu thought for a while, walked along the road on the right, bent her waist, and searched carefully all the way. Sure enough, a simple and inconspicuous pearl hairpin fell in the middle of the stone crevice on one side.
The color is similar to that of a stone, if Ah Yu hadn't looked carefully, she would have missed it.
The style of the pearl hairpin is simple and unadorned, and the workmanship is rough. Although Ayu doesn't have much research on women's things, he can tell that they are not from the Li country.
Ayu held the pearl hairpin in her hand and thought for a while, then called another person to patrol, and she came to the door of the bead holding room.
"Princess, are you asleep?"
Zhang Zhu was depressed because he was going to see Xi Liemo tomorrow and accepted the greetings from the accompanying officials of the two countries, and lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Hearing Ayu's voice, he sat up and said, "Ayu, come in!"
Because of the fact that Xi Liemo sneaked into her room last night, Zhang Zhu, who didn't like the presence of palace servants in the room, arranged for the palace maid Ruyue to sleep under the couch to accompany him.
Her own princess couldn't fall asleep, Ruyue didn't dare to fall asleep no matter how tired she was, when she heard the princess calling Ayu in, Ruyue hurriedly stood up and held the lamp.
After Ayu opened the door and saluted, she handed the pearl hairpin in her hand to Zhangzhu, "Princess, please look!"
The pearl hairpin was very ordinary, so naturally it couldn't catch Zhangzhu's eyes. She glanced at it casually, and was more curious about why Ayu brought such an ordinary pearl hairpin to her in the middle of the night, "Ayu, tell me what you have to say!"
"Princess, when my subordinates were on patrol just now, they heard noises at the gate of the courtyard, but there was no one when they approached. Later, they searched all the way and found this pearl hairpin."
Ayu's face is always expressionless, "Looking at the style and handicraft, it doesn't look like something from our Li country. Only people from the Li country and Xiqiang live in this inn. If it's not something from Li, it's something from Xiqiang! "
Zhangzhu said: "You mean that some people from Xiqiang approached the gate of the courtyard, and after alarming you, they left again. In a panic, they left this pearl hairpin behind?"
"Yes, princess!" Ayu said: "This pearl hairpin looks quite cheap, it should belong to a daughter of the Western Qiang."
"Mistress of Xiqiang?" I believe there are many people in Xiqiang who are curious about her, but those who are so eager to know everything about her are probably only those beauties in Xiliemo Palace.
Zhangzhu yawned boredly, and told Ayu: "As long as those people don't go too far, let them make trouble!"
"Yes! Princess!" Ayu replied respectfully, and stepped back.
"Princess, it's getting late, and I have to go on my way tomorrow." Ruyue turned off the oil lamp and said softly, "Go to bed earlier, if this continues, your body will not be able to take it anymore."
Too much?She can't stand it!
Can't bear it, can't bear it... Zhangzhu who just lay down sat up suddenly again, her eyes glowed like night pearls in the darkness, and even her voice became a bit strange:
"Ruyue, go and tell King Xiqiang tomorrow morning that the princess has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and her body is a bit overwhelmed by the long-distance trek in such cold winter weather, and she has signs of contracting a cold.
If the king is the favored son of heaven, if he accidentally infects him, the princess cannot afford such a crime, so the princess will not go with the king to accept the greetings from the officials of the two countries. "
"Princess..." Kisaragi was a little puzzled, the princess was obviously well, why did she pretend to be sick?
But Zhang Zhu had already lay down and said nothing, the corners of his mouth curled up in the darkness, revealing a smug smile.
Doesn't this etiquette say that people don't get sick?The princess is sick, no one can blame her if she doesn't go, right?
Zhang Zhu heheed twice, after solving the troubles in his heart, he fell asleep with a smile on his face.
Because she was ill, Zhangzhu naturally got up late in the morning, and was served by Ruyue, and had breakfast in bed.
Over there, after breakfast, Xi Liemo and the officials from the two countries were waiting for Zhang Zhu to go and accept greetings together.
When it was almost time, Xi Liemo looked at the entrance with a smile on his face, waiting for that proud little man to step in.
It was Kisaragi who came in.
The moment she stepped in, everyone looked at her, and the respect in their eyes turned into doubt.
Under the gaze of so many people, Ruyue's legs softened, and she couldn't help but kneel on the ground, "My lord, the princess has never gone out in such cold weather, so she has been a little overwhelmed in the past two days.
The princess said that the king's dragon body is precious, and he is afraid of infecting the king. In the past few days, he will not receive the gift with the king, and the adults don't have to go to pay his respects. "
The princess is sick?Officials of Li Guo whispered for a while.
"Have you ever asked the imperial doctor to see it? What did the imperial doctor say?" Xi Liemo frowned slightly, with a worried tone.
"Not yet, the princess was worried that the king would wait for a long time, so she sent her servants to report to the king." Ruyue lowered her head, not daring to lift it up.
Xi Liemo's eyes swept across her crouching, slightly trembling body, and she knew it in her heart.
"Since the princess is ill today, everyone should disperse first." The corners of his lips curled up slightly, with a half-smile: "Doctor Liu, go and check the princess's pulse immediately, and make sure she recovers as soon as possible!"
"Yes!" Imperial Physician Liu from Li Guotai Hospital replied respectfully.
After Xi Liemo finished speaking, he stood up, "As the future husband of the princess, my fiancée is not feeling well, so I should go and visit her!"
Kisaragi's body trembled even more, "Big... Great King..."
"Is it Ruyue?" Xi Liemo leaned over and asked gently.
"Yes." Kisaragi lay on the ground and dared not get up.
Xi Liemo stood up straight, his voice suddenly rose, with a bit of sternness, "Why don't you get up quickly and lead the way?"
The poor maid Ruyue tremblingly got up from the ground slightly, and under the pressure of Xi Liemo's seemingly invisible emperor, she didn't dare to say a word.
Zhangzhu was waiting for Ruyue to come back and waited for her to get up and get dressed when she suddenly heard Ruyue's voice: "Your Majesty, Doctor Liu, please wait for a moment, the maidservant will go in and let you know."
Then came the man's sexy and deep voice: "Go in."
How did he come here?Zhangzhu's heart tightened, seeing Ruyue came in and was about to open her mouth to ask, but saw her stretch out her hand and made a shhing motion.
"Princess, are you feeling better?" Kisaragi asked while winking.
"It's much better after resting for a while." Zhangzhu coughed twice, "Jiyue, I just heard you talking to someone, but who is here?"
"Princess, it's Your Majesty and Imperial Physician Liu." Ruyue showed a look of resignation on his face, but his voice was gentle, "My Majesty heard that Princess, you are not feeling well, so he specially asked Imperial Physician Liu to show you. He was worried about you, so he wanted to come. Visit for yourself."
Zhang Zhu glared at her, and said in a weak tone: "My princess is already much better, so you don't need to bother the King and Doctor Liu.
Ruyue, go and tell the king that the princess is very grateful for his kindness, but the journey to Xiqiang is far away, in case you miss the time, you should start as soon as possible! "
"This king only now realizes that the princess is so eager to marry to Xiqiang as soon as possible!" The magnetic voice carried a smile.
The door was pushed open suddenly, Doctor Liu at the door had his head down, his eyes were staring at the ground obediently, and he didn't even dare to glance inside from the corner of his eye.
Under the shocked eyes of Zhangzhu and Ruyue, Xi Liemo strode in.
"You?" Zhang Zhu looked at the tall man walking towards her bed, and was so startled that he forgot to get angry.
Touching her forehead lightly with both hands, Xi Liemo smiled and said softly, "Princess, if you are sick, you should let the imperial doctor see it, don't hesitate to seek medical treatment.
There is no rush to go to our Western Qiang, and even if the time is delayed, the king will definitely marry the princess, so don't worry, the princess.See a doctor obediently, huh? "
Zhang Zhu opened his mouth slightly, stunned for a moment and forgot to react.
What does this mean?She didn't treat the illness because she was afraid of delaying the day of marrying him?Is it because she can't wait to marry him?
It was rare for Xi Liemo to see Zhangzhu's expression of being too stunned to react, and the smile in his eyes grew stronger, and then he raised his voice, "Yuyi Liu, come in and take the princess's pulse!"
At this time, Zhang Zhu had recovered, she stretched out her hand, pushed away Xi Liemo's hand resting on her forehead, and said angrily: "Your Majesty, this is my princess' bedroom! Your Majesty came here so uninvited, it is impolite." Count! Get out, please!"
Get out of this mess, this princess!Zhangzhu roared in his heart.
"The princess is ill. As the princess' fiancé, I am worried about the princess' condition. I came to visit him. No one can accuse me of not following the etiquette!"
Xi Liemo was not offended by her anger, but deliberately glanced at Zhang Zhuyin's perfect bulge as he sat up and slid under the quilt.
Zhangzhu breathed a sigh of relief, quickly grabbed the quilt and pulled it up, gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty has seen you now, please leave quickly!"
Putting down Xi Liemo's robe, not only did not leave, but sat down on the edge of the bed, Ruyue beside him exclaimed.
Zhang Zhu's already angry face turned redder, "Your Majesty!"
"My lord saw that the princess's complexion was red, and she seemed to be very hot. I have to wait for the imperial doctor to make a diagnosis before leaving to feel at ease!"
Xi Liemo slightly waved at Imperial Physician Liu, motioning for him to come forward for a pulse diagnosis, "Physician Liu, I'm sorry for your trouble."
When he is away from home, he can't take care of so many taboos, not to mention that Liu Yuyi is also in his early fifties, and he is a grandfather.
Doctor Liu's head has not been raised since the moment the door was opened, and it was the same when he entered.
He stared at his feet, and walked to the bed step by step, until the wrist as white as jade, covered with tulle, appeared in front of his eyes.
Physician Liu stretched out two fingers and lightly tapped on it.
After a while, she withdrew her fingers, cupped her hands and said, "Princess is fine, but she is a little weak, and the cold air enters her body. She will be fine after a good rest."
"Don't you need to take medicine?" Xi Liemo asked.
"No need." Doctor Liu said: "The medicine is three-point poisonous, so try not to take it if you can. Besides, the princess is in good health, she just needs to rest well to recover."
"Thank you, Doctor Liu, let's go down." Xi Liemo waved his hand.
"Yes." Doctor Liu lowered his head, took a few steps back, and then turned and left Zhangzhu's room.
The imperial physicians in the palace are the best at talking, and Imperial Physician Liu is no exception. What he said seems to be sick, but also seems not sick. In short, there is no need to take medicine and rest more.
"Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Liu also said just now that the princess is fine, she just needs to rest well." Zhang Zhu lay on the bed with half-closed eyes, biting the words "rest well" deliberately hard.
Xi Liemo chuckled softly, with connivance, "Princess, rest well, I will come to see you later. I will stay at this station for one more day today and leave tomorrow morning."
After he left, Zhang Zhu was so angry that he threw the pillows on the bed to the ground and shouted: "Change all the bedding! Clean the room again! Also, the princess needs to take a bath!"
Zhang Zhu rubbed vigorously the place on his forehead that Xi Liemo had touched, and gritted his teeth.
After all the replacement and cleaning were completed, the anger in Zhang Zhu's heart not only did not dissipate, but became more and more intense.
The implication of that mess before he left was that he would come to see her later?
But she really didn't want to see her, so how could she stop him from seeing her?
