Chapter 200 Zhang Zhuzhang wants to take advantage of her illness to belittle her?
Chapter 200: Palm Pearl Chapter Want to take advantage of her illness to belittle her?
Ruyue hastily invited Imperial Physician Liu to take Zhang Zhu's pulse.
Unlike the trembling last time, Doctor Liu was much calmer this time.
He checked his pulse carefully, looked at Zhangzhu's vomit, and said to the two of them, "Princess should have eaten unclean food, which caused her to vomit and diarrhea. But it's nothing serious, my lord." Prescribe a secondary medicine, just take one and you’ll be fine.”
"Unclean food?" Gong Nai and Kisaragi looked at each other.
Since Zhangzhu's food and drink left the Li Kingdom's palace, the maid of the palace has been in charge of guarding the food. The only thing that has not been in her hands is the table of Xiqiang food given by Xi Liemo tonight.
But obviously I tried looking for Xiaohua, why is Xiaohua fine?
"Liu Yuyi, you said that this person will vomit after eating food, and will the cat be in trouble if he eats it?" Gong Nao asked cautiously.
Doctor Liu said: "It's hard to say! Cats and humans have different constitutions, and it mainly depends on the degree of uncleanness of the food, and it also varies from person to person. The princess's stomach is delicate, and a little uncleanness may also cause discomfort."
"Thank you, Doctor Liu, I understand!" Madam Gong stood up and sent her off, "Doctor Liu, please keep your mouth shut for tonight's matter!"
"You are too polite, Madam, I know." Doctor Liu hurriedly replied, "I will arrange for someone to decoct the medicine right now, and it will be delivered later. The princess will recover in the morning."
Although Gong Nai is a slave, she has been by the Queen's side for a long time, and now she is accompanying Zhang Zhu to marry Xi Qiang, and she will be the most trusted palace servant around Zhang Zhu in the future.
If Liu Yuyi wants to live a good life in Xiqiang, he must curry favor with her, so he is polite and courteous outside!
"These Xiqiang people are really too much!" After sending away Imperial Doctor Liu, Ruyue was indignant, "It's fine to send someone to secretly inquire about the princess's news, and then they cheated on the horse, and now they have just arrived in Xiqiang. , someone put their thoughts on the meal! If she enters the palace in the future, how will the princess live this day?"
"Now that we are in the clear and on the way, it is impossible to guard against! If we enter the palace, everything will be different!" Gong Nao's face was serious, "With the old slave here, no one will have the opportunity to do things on these things. You hurt the princess with your hands and feet!"
Kisaragi said: "Nurse, do you want to tell the King about this matter?"
Madam Gong hesitated and said, "It's best to discuss this matter with the princess."
"The princess will definitely say not to tell the king!" Kisaragi pouted.
"You girl understands my princess' thoughts." Zhang Zhu heard the conversation between the two, and said weakly.
Kisaragi lowered her head in embarrassment, "Princess, did the servant make you rest because of the noise?"
"It's okay, I've been awake for quite a while." Zhangzhu took a breath and said, "Ruyue, help Princess Ben get up."
"Yes, princess!" Ruyue replied, then stepped forward to help Zhang Zhu half sit up, and took a pillow and put it behind her.
Zhangzhu coughed twice, her voice was weak, "I don't agree to tell the king about this matter either!"
"Princess, why?" Kisaragi was a little dissatisfied.
"Because this is in the territory of Xiqiang. Once this matter is publicized, the king will definitely use the people in the post station to make amends to the princess in his anger!"
The palace nurse said: "The princess has not yet married the king, if the king has the idea of killing because of this, and if it spreads, it will definitely damage the princess' reputation.
Because the princess was not poisoned, but caused by unclean food. The imperial doctor just said that whether this unclean food causes uncomfortable symptoms depends on the constitution of the person.
If it was spread, it would only be said that the princess was delicate and expensive, and she was not used to the food of Xiqiang. If someone died because of this, the Xiqiang people would definitely blame the princess. "
Ruyue opened her mouth wide, thought for a while, and felt that what Gong Nai said was very reasonable.
But if she let it go like this, she would really feel unwilling.
Zhangzhu nodded, "What the nurse said is true, but this princess can't let others lead her by the nose! We don't need to tell the king truthfully about what happened tonight, but we can let him know appropriately:
Because of my health, this princess is not used to the Xiqiang diet for the time being. I hope he can allow me to prepare my own meals like when I was in Li, and then gradually adapt to the Xiqiang diet!
This request, the princess thinks, the king should agree! "
Gong Nai said happily: "It's so good, there is an old slave who personally checks, and will not let unclean food enter the princess's mouth!"
There was a touch of self-blame in those words, and Zhang Zhu smiled and said: "This time, it has nothing to do with Mammy, you are already very careful. And the other party obviously just wanted to pick something up, and didn't want to harm the princess, so That’s why the opponent took advantage of the loophole.”
"Then princess, are the people behind the scenes this time the same group as the previous two?" Ruyue asked.
Zhang Zhu said: "The people behind the madness with the concubine are certainly not the same group, but it's hard to say whether they are the same group as the people who peeped secretly for the first time!"
Kisaragi concluded: "That is to say, some people want to harm the princess, stir up disputes between the two countries, and reap the benefits of the fisherman; some people want the princess to lose the support of the people of Xiqiang, and then lose the trust and favor of the king?"
"Risue has made progress, I understand well!" Gong Nai said with a smile.
"Then what should we do?" Kisaragi asked again.
"The former will never be tolerated; the latter, small punishments and big punishments!" Although Zhang Zhu's voice was soft, it was unquestionable.
"Yes, princess!" Gong Nai and Ruyue respectfully replied.
In the morning of the second day, Xi Liemo, who learned that Zhang Zhu was feeling unwell due to eating Xiqiang meals, came to Zhang Zhu's room in person.
This time, Zhangzhu didn't put on the screen or put on the hat.
As soon as I came here, it was Xiqiang. According to the original agreement, after arriving in Xiqiang, everything will follow the customs of Xiqiang.
Secondly, Zhangzhu originally wanted Xi Liemo to look at her face, so that he would agree to let her own people prepare the meal.
She was half lying on the bed, her pale face between her smooth black hair immediately aroused Xi Liemo's heartache.
"Princess, are you feeling better today?" Xi Liemo's voice was soft and cautious, as if afraid of disturbing her.
"Your Majesty, palm beads are fine, just a little uncomfortable, and it has improved a lot, and your Majesty is worried about it." Because there is a need for him, the voice of palm beads is also very soft.
It was rare for Xi Liemo to see such a docile palm towards him. He took two steps forward and sat down on the side of the bed.
He put his palm on his forehead with one hand, the temperature under his hand was normal, he was slightly relieved, "May I let the imperial doctor see it?"
"I've seen it. The imperial doctor said that the Xiqiang diet has a heavy taste. This princess just can't get used to it for a while. Maybe it will take a few days to get used to it."
Zhang Zhu's eyes drooped slightly, resisting the urge to remove Xi Liemo's hand from his forehead.
One time has already made his heart ache, how can he let her be like this every day?
There was some self-reproach in Xi Liemo's gentle voice, "Before, this king didn't think well and acted too hastily! How about this, the people who brought the princess will prepare the meals in the future. As for the meals of Xiqiang, the princess will gradually get used to it. That’s fine, just take care of yourself, you know?”
Zhang Zhu was a little surprised when he offered to prepare meals by himself.
She bit her lower lip, and said softly: "Zhang Zhu understands, thank you, Your Majesty!"
Such a well-behaved and weak Zhangzhu made Xi Liemo more and more reluctant to leave. He couldn't help but grabbed Zhangzhu's hand outside, and said in a blurred voice, "Ashu!"
"Your Majesty!" Zhang Zhu was shocked, but he didn't dare to struggle vigorously.
Xi Liemo held her weak and boneless little hand, feeling his whole body go numb, and whispered "Ashu" in his mouth, but bent down towards Zhangzhu.
Is this mess trying to take advantage of her illness and treat her lightly?
"My lord, Zhangzhu feels unwell and wants to rest." Zhangzhu stared at his approaching face, with grievance and anger in his eyes.
Xi Liemo's eyes were dark and heavy, like a bottomless abyss.
He quietly stared into Zhang Zhu's eyes, as if he wanted to suck her into the abyss.
Standing so close, he could smell the breath of the man on his body, and Zhang Zhu's heart jumped uncontrollably.
Suddenly, Xi Liemo smiled at her. At that moment, it was as if thousands of trees and pear blossoms were blown by the wind, and the white petals were flying all over the sky. The beautiful scene instantly took everyone's breath away.
Zhang Zhu couldn't help but hold his breath.
She knows that she has extraordinary looks, and there are only a few people who can surpass her looks, so no matter men or women, she pays less attention to their appearance.
But at this moment, she had to admit that this Xi Liemo was indeed rare in the world in terms of appearance alone.
At this moment, even when she saw it, she couldn't help but want to take another look.
The focus in her eyes fell into Xi Liemo's eyes, making the smile on his lips even wider, and the magnetic voice was mixed with charm, "Princess, take a good rest, my king, don't bother me!"
It wasn't until Xi Liemo left for a long time that Zhang Zhu's chest was slowly exhaled.
Kisaragi approached cautiously, and said timidly: "Princess."
Zhang Zhu glared at her, she didn't show up when she needed it just now, she didn't know where she went, what's the use of showing up now?
Ruyue was also very aggrieved, she stood at the door to greet her, originally wanted to bring Xi Liemo in, but was stopped by A Cong at the door.
She didn't dare to call, so she could only stand obediently outside the door.
After Zhangzhu stared at Ruyue, she felt that in the future, her house could no longer be the same as before, only Ruyue would serve her personally.
Even if he doesn't serve him personally, if there are many people in the house, even if Xi Liemo comes again, it will make him feel a little apprehensive.
When I think of him, I think of the moment I met his gaze just now, and the right hand held by him, which is as hot as fire.
Zhangzhu couldn't help but rubbed against the quilt, "Ruyue, fetch a basin of water."
"Yes! Princess!" Seeing that the princess didn't continue to blame her, Ruyue's mood brightened, and she quickly ran out to fetch water.
After preparing the daily meals by myself, under the strict supervision of the palace maid, no mistakes were made.
However, no matter it is Ayu, Ruyue, or Ru An who was newly transferred to the palm bead room, they dare not take it lightly.
At the same time, Xi Liemo also sent additional staff.
As soon as they entered the territory of Xiqiang, Xi Liemo sent someone to inform the Lianjia army, and sent [-] elite soldiers to escort them.
Until they moved into the annex near the palace, a thousand elite soldiers were stationed outside, not even a fly could fly in.
The furnishings in the other hall are somewhat similar to those of Li Guo. According to the gatekeeper here, it was repaired at the beginning of the year, and the king personally supervised the work.
And I heard that not only the buildings in the annex have been repaired, but also the Taihe Palace where the queen lives in the palace has also been renovated.
Because of this incident, Ruyue immediately turned against Xi Liemo.
"Princess, Your Majesty treats you so well!" Ru Yue enviously.
Zhangzhu didn't bother to talk to her, "Ruyue, have you sorted out the list of congratulatory gifts sent by those Xiqiang nobles?"
"Not yet, princess!" Kisaragi lowered her head shyly.
Zhang Zhu glanced at her and didn't speak, but the meaning was self-evident: If you have time to express your feelings here, it's better to go to work quickly.
"Princess, princess, this servant is not lazy!" Ruyue hurriedly explained, and pulled out a post from the sleeve, "Princess, this is a greeting post from the third princess in the queen's harem. I want to see you, princess, in three days!"
Zhang Zhu frowned, "Put it down first, go get busy!"
"Yes, princess."
Later, Zhang Zhu told the matter to Gong Nai.
Gong Nai said: "The third concubine, one of the four major concubines in the queen's harem, is the daughter of the Helan family, one of the three nobles of the Western Qiang.
The great king's great-grandmother came from the Helan family, and the two could barely be regarded as cousins.
This time, the person who sent someone to send a greeting card was the first person in the queen's harem to send a greeting card to the princess, and the power behind him should not be underestimated, the princess must handle it carefully! "
Zhang Zhu said: "The princess called Mammy to come here, just to hear your opinion!"
"Although the third princess has a noble status, the princess has only seven days to marry, and there are many things that need to be prepared. This old slave suggests finding a reason to push the third princess!" Gong Nao said: "Because once this precedent is set, the next People, it will be bad if the princess is gone!"
"This princess also thinks the same!" Zhang Zhu nodded, "Mama, if someone sends you a invitation again, I will reject it outright. The reasons are: one is to prepare for the wedding, and the time is tight; I can't bear your visit."
"The old slave knows."
-
The third concubine, Helan Qingcheng, who received the rejection letter, was wearing tulle and leaning on the arms of a handsome man.
Xiqiang people are tall and tall, and women are no exception. Helan Qingcheng's facial features are bright and magnificent, and her figure is uneven.
"My lord, that little beauty has declined!" Her voice was full of contempt, "I originally wanted to tell her something about the king's hobbies, so that she could get favored as soon as possible, but now it seems that our kindness is not appreciated by others. Thank you!"
The man chuckled, "Little boy, are you jealous? Your king didn't even touch you, but he secretly went to Li country to welcome that little beauty back. You are really upset." Are you comfortable? How about this king help you?"
Helan Qingcheng glanced at him charmingly
The man whispered into Helan Qingcheng's ear, "Be careful, don't worry, after Princess Li enters the palace, there will be plenty of opportunities, and our plan will go smoothly!"
Helan Qingcheng's voice was soft and melodious, "My lord, Qingcheng understands. Qingcheng will definitely help you complete your plan, but my lord, don't forget your promise to Qingcheng..."
The man put his arm around Helan Qingcheng's waist and pressed her against the bed...
After a long time, the man embraced Helan Qingcheng and said: "Since Princess Li refuses to see you because her identity is unknown, then I have no choice but to go out."
"I heard that Princess Li is the number one beauty in Li Country, my lord, don't be seduced by her." The woman in her arms said coquettishly.
"The third concubine is also one of the most beautiful women in Xiqiang. Why, doesn't the third concubine have confidence in herself?" The man teased and said, "I don't dare to say about my face, but with this figure, the third concubine is definitely better than that thin one." Li country beauty."
This is true!Helan Qingcheng is very confident about her figure, which is indeed unmatched in Xiqiang.
"After seeing the prince, you must tell Qingcheng when you come back. Qingcheng is also very curious about how beautiful the little beauty of the Li Kingdom was, and how she stole the king's soul?" Helan Qingcheng asked softly.
The man patted his hand vigorously, causing her to scream, "My lord, why are you beating Qingcheng?"
"You are the king's real woman, and you are showing your love for the king in front of the king like this. Do you think you should hit him or not?" The man pretended to be jealous.
Helan Qingcheng smiled triumphantly, coquettishly, "Okay, okay, it's Qingcheng's fault, tell me, how do you want to punish Qingcheng?"
The man whispered in her ear with ill intentions and whispered something.
Helan Qingcheng thumped him coquettishly, "I hate it!" But the action was as he wished...
-
The third concubine's greeting letter had just been rejected, and the first princess and the second princess' invitation letter came again.
Ruyue huffed, "What's the matter with these people? Don't you know that the princess is very busy to be married, how can I have time to take care of them?"
Ru'an comforted: "Sister Ruyue, these people may not necessarily want to meet the princess, but the third concubine posted the post first, and even if the other concubines don't want to meet, they have to put on a show."
"Then why the fourth princess didn't ask for invitations? Could it be that she doesn't take our princess seriously?" Ruyue became even more angry.
Ru'an rolled her eyes secretly, you think people are annoying when you vote for the greeting post, if you don't vote for the greeting post, do you suspect that people don't take the princess seriously?
Sister Ruyue, with your stubborn mind, how did you become the princess' personal maid?
At this moment, Ru An suddenly had doubts about her own princess's vision.
The maid in the house smiled and said to Zhang Zhu: "Ruo'an is a good girl, she has a clear and calm mind, and the princess has a very good vision."
The implication of this is that Kisaragi is not doing well.
Zhangzhu smiled and said: "Like the moon has the benefits of being like the moon, and the mother will know in the future. From now on, everything in the palace will depend on the mother and Ru'an!"
"I will do my best!" After expressing her attitude, Madam Gong took out a greeting card from her sleeve, "Princess, you don't have to miss all the concubines and beauties in the palace, but I'm afraid the princess should meet this person!"
Zhang Zhu said: "Who?"
Gong Nai said: "Your Majesty's Sixth Uncle, Prince Ling Xi Lingyun. He is the person in charge of this wedding, and he is also an elder. I'm afraid it would be bad if we don't see each other!"
"My princess knows!" Zhang Zhu said: "Then according to the time on the greeting card, I will meet him in person in the other hall the day after tomorrow!"
"The old slave understands." Gong Nai remembered something again, "Princess, it's only a few days before entering the palace. Regarding some information in the palace, the old slave thought that I should let Ru'an know."
"Then call her in." Zhang Zhu said, "It just so happens that the princess is familiar with her."
"Yes."
Ruan who was outside suddenly heard the voice of the palace maid inside, thinking that she had just talked to Ruyue about arguing with her master, so she walked in timidly with a pale face, "Meet the princess, Palace nurse."
"Ru'an, get up and talk." Zhang Zhu said gently.
"Yes, princess."
"Sit down," Gongmao pointed to the small stool beside her, seeing Ru'an feeling a little uneasy, she understood.
Ru An used to be in the princess's outer court and had very few chances to meet her. Now that she is suddenly promoted to the position of a personal maid, it is normal to feel a little panic.
Ru An Yiyan sit down.
Grandma Gong began to talk about the intricate relationship in the Western Qiang harem, "There are three ancient nobles in the Western Qiang country that are more than 300 years old, and a family of generals that has emerged in the past 20 years, and the four major concubines in the palace come from these four families.
Grand Concubine Gongsun Min, born in the most influential Gongsun family, is the eldest daughter of the first cousin of the Queen Mother, that is, the cousin of the Great King's ancestral family. She has the most noble status in the palace, and her temperament is a bit arrogant.
The second concubine, Huyan Yunxi, was born in the Huyan family of the second nobleman. She is the granddaughter of the elder brother of the first queen, the great king's grandmother, and the cousin of the great king's great-grandfather's family. It is said that she has a gentle temperament.
The third concubine, Helan Qingcheng, was born in the Helan family of the third nobleman, and the great king's great-grandmother was from the Helan family. The two could barely be regarded as cousins.
The fourth concubine, Lian Zhiruo, was born in the Lian family, a newly-rising family of generals. She is the youngest daughter of Marshal Lian. It is said that she is not in good health, but she is extremely intelligent and weak-tempered.
The successive queens of the Western Qiang royal family all came from the three major families. In order to prevent one family from being dominant, the queens appointed by each king would avoid the ancestral family and choose from the other two great families.
However, the three major families have never given up on successive generations of queens, all of which came from the wishes of the families. Because of this, the three princesses did not give in to each other in the palace, and before the king did not choose the final queen, the affairs in the harem now, The Fourth Princess Lian Zhiruo is taking care of it..."
-
The first thing Xi Liemo did after returning to the palace was to send someone to re-examine all the items in the wedding, from the sedan chair to the drinks, from the wedding room to the palace people, not letting go of any inaccuracies.
The next night, he went to the fourth concubine Lian Zhiruo.
Lian Zhiruo is the youngest daughter of Grand Marshal Lian. The original Mrs. Lian and now Mrs. Lian were close to thirty when she was pregnant with her, and because of Marshal Lian's concubine, she was so angry that she almost got pregnant. After a miscarriage, Lian Zhiruo was born after a slow recuperation after a lot of painstaking efforts.
Therefore, Lian Zhiruo has been thinner than ordinary children since she was a child, and her physique is also poor. After more than ten years of intensive care, she gradually improved.
Due to years of illness, Lian Zhiruo is very thin, coupled with the tall bones of Xiqiang people, according to Ji Ziqi's perspective, she is definitely a supermodel in modern times.
But in ancient times, such an emaciated and chronically ill appearance made people feel that it was difficult to raise a healthy next generation. Therefore, no matter how much the Lian family was favored by the emperor, Lian Zhiruo's marriage has not been smooth.
Then one day, Xi Liemo went to Lian's house and had a private meeting with Lian Zhiruo. Two months later, Lian Zhiruo entered the palace and became Xi Liemo's fourth concubine. Before, he managed the entire harem on his behalf.
Whether it is the Western Qiang royal family or the nobles, they do not fully pay attention to the eldest son, but put ability first.
Therefore, even though Lian Zhiruo was the most loved and trusted by Xi Liemo in the eyes of everyone, the other three princesses did not target her too much.
Because everyone knows well that with Lian Zhiruo's body, it is said that it is difficult to conceive a healthy next generation.
Even if the next generation is healthy, it is difficult to guarantee that recessive diseases will be passed on to the next generation. For the royal family, this kind of unknown risk will not bet on it anyway.
Without the next generation's competition for the throne, the other three princesses did not want to offend her too much, so the entire Western Qiang harem seemed to be in peace until Zhang Zhu's future.
It's just that all the strength is in the dark.
"I've met the king!" Lian Zhiruo bowed and saluted with a calm expression, without any joy that she hadn't seen for a long time.
"There's no need to be too polite!" Xi Liemo waved his hand slightly, "Go down."
"Yes!" The servants in the palace retreated one by one.
Xi Liemo sat in the grand teacher's chair, nodded to Lian Zhiruo to sit down, "Have you been feeling better recently?"
Lian Zhiruo said indifferently: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. Zhiruo's body has always been like this, and there is no difference."
"The imperial doctor said that if you can maintain your current physical condition, the baby you will give birth to in the future will be fine."
"Zhiruo knows."
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Xi Liemo got to the point, "Is there any news from Lianjue?"
Talking about that tough man, Lian Zhiruo's expression changed, a trace of tenderness appeared on her calm face, "He came the day before the king returned to the palace."
"What did you find?"
"After the concubine was selected by the king as a gift for the princess, after about three months of training, the person in charge was a member of the Helan family, and only members of the Helan family had the opportunity to get close to it." Lian Zhi Ruo Dao: "People from the Helan family have been in frequent contact with Ling Wang's mansion in the past few months."
After hearing this, Xi Liemo closed his eyes with a solemn expression, unable to see what he was thinking in his heart. After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, "This king knows."
Then he stood up, thinking of something before leaving, and said: "After the princess enters the palace, help her control the harem as soon as possible."
"My lord," Lian Zhiruo's lips curled up, but she didn't smile, "Zhiruo will leave everything to the princess, but whether the princess can control the harem by her own ability, it all depends on the princess herself. What Zhiruo can do is to stay out of the matter, or remind her at the right time."
At this time, Lian Zhiruo rejected Xi Liemo's proposal as a concubine, which can be regarded as quite disrespectful.
But Xi Liemo knows that Lian Zhiruo's cold-faced and aloof personality in her heart, if she catches her eye, she will help her with all her strength. meaning.
Thinking of that proud little man, he unconsciously brought a smile on his lips, nodded to Lian Zhiruo, and left.
-
On the afternoon of the third day, Lord Ling Xi Lingyun arrived as scheduled.
Xiqiang is very tolerant towards women. The hats worn by women when they go out are used to keep out the wind and sand, not to block the eyes of outsiders.
The younger and more beautiful a woman is, the more she likes to show her face outside, and never hides it hypocritically.
It is quite common for a remarriage or a widow to remarry. If a concubine in a noble family falls in love with another man and asks the master, the master will even prepare a dowry and send the concubine out.
Xiqiang people are bold and direct, pure and sincere in their feelings. When they meet someone they like, it is common for them to confess directly in person.
But what is interesting is that the Xiqiang people do not attach great importance to chastity, but they attach great importance to blood. Once they find that the children they raise are not their own, both mother and child will be executed.
Zhangzhu was amazed by these customs of Xiqiang, but when it was her turn to abide by them, she, who was used to the etiquette of the Li Kingdom, was still not used to it.
For example, when meeting Xi Lingyun, they cannot be separated by a screen, but face to face.
At this time, Xi Lingyun was walking back and forth leisurely in the main hall with his hands behind his back, admiring the wonderful landscape paintings of Li Guo's masters on the wall.
He has a tall figure unique to the Xiqiang people, about 27 or [-] years old, and his face is half like that of Xi Liemo. Just looking at his appearance, he is also a very handsome man.
With the extravagance of the whole body, it has added a lot of points virtually, and it is the dream object of many women in Xiqiang.
It's just that his eyes, upon closer inspection, are a little swollen, which is the aftereffect of being too immersed in beauty and wine.
"The princess is here!" With the shouts of the palace people in the other hall, Xi Lingyun's walking figure stopped.
He turned around slowly when he heard light footsteps coming from behind.
After turning around and taking a look, Xi Lingyun's eyeballs could no longer be separated from his palms.
Compared with the grandeur and gorgeousness of Xiqiang women, her facial features are much softer and more delicate, so delicate that people are reluctant to touch them, for fear that they will break if touched.
However, in this kind of softness, there is a kind of fierce and proud beauty.
Yes, proud!
Xiqiang women are very proud, especially noble women. Xi Lingyun has seen too many proud women, such as Helan Qingcheng.
But at this time, compared with Zhangzhu's natural pride, he suddenly felt that the so-called pride of those women was a kind of superficiality, a kind of ostentatious superficiality, just like Helan Qingcheng proudly showing off her proud figure all the time.
As for Princess Li in front of her, her pride emanates from her flesh and blood, it is a symbol of status, a temperament that only a natural royal family can have.
She didn't even need to speak, just stood there quietly, with a firm and beautiful neck, that kind of beauty and pride made it impossible to hide.
Like the scorching sun that can bask in the dead in Xiqiang summer, all those who have seen her can only surrender and prostrate at her feet.
Xi Lingyun had only seen that kind of bearing in two people.
One is his elder brother, the last king of Xiqiang, and the other is the current king of Xiqiang, Xi Liemo.
In Xi Lingyun's heart, more unwillingness suddenly appeared.
He, Xi Liemo, just had a good pregnancy. How can he, not to mention having the supreme power, marry the most noble and beautiful woman in the world?
No matter how much a person hides, his eyes will always reveal his thoughts unintentionally.
At this time, Xi Lingyun's eyes were full of surprise, greed and jealousy, which made Zhangzhu, who was looking at him unintentionally, feel extremely uncomfortable.
She saluted briefly, breaking the dullness, "I have seen the prince."
According to the status of Princess Zhangzhuli, there is actually no need to salute a prince from a foreign country.
But Xi Lingyun stared at her blankly, which made her very unhappy, and he was also Xi Liemo's sixth uncle, so it would not be rude for her to speak first.
At this time, Xi Lingyun recovered from the astonishment, but he did not take his eyes back, but stared at Zhangzhu more boldly, with a flirtatious smile on his face, "I have seen the princess, the princess called me the king and the six kings!" Uncle can."
"The princess and the king haven't saluted yet, so it's better to call the prince." Zhang Zhu said indifferently: "I don't know if the prince is here today, but it's about the wedding?"
"The princess is really smart. It's about the wedding. Some details need to be discussed with the princess." Xi Lingyun stared at Zhang Zhu's face without any concealment, greedy in his eyes, and said: "Princess, why don't we sit down?" How about coming down and discussing it slowly?"
Zhang Zhu's face darkened, "My princess's wedding is all in the hands of Grandma Gong and Master Yu, and the prince can discuss with him if you have anything to do."
She turned her head slightly, and raised her voice, "Ruyue, go and call the palace nurse and Master Yu out, and tell Xiqiang Prince Ling that you are welcome!"
Then he bowed slightly, "My lord, please wait a moment, the princess has something else to do, so I won't accompany you!"
Ru'an on the side immediately stepped forward to support her, and blocked Xi Lingyun's inappropriate eyes by the way.
"Then princess, go slowly, the king will come to visit the princess next time!" Xi Lingyun, who had his eyes covered, was a little displeased, but he quickly covered it up, and watched Zhang Zhu go far away gracefully with his hands clasped.
Zhangzhu returned to the room, thinking of Xi Lingyun's gaze, she was so sick that she wanted to vomit.
Compared with Xi Liemo's presumptuousness and aggression, this Lord Ling was so disgusting that she didn't want to be in the same place with him even for a breath.
At this time, Zhang Zhu still didn't understand the difference between conquering and possessing. Xi Liemo wanted to conquer her physically and mentally, while Xi Lingyun wanted to possess her physically.
She just instinctively felt that it was a good thing that the person she married with was Xi Liemo!
Three days before the wedding, Gong Nai began to educate Zhang Zhu about the newlyweds.
When she took out the treasured picture in the Li Kingdom's palace, opened a page, and displayed it in front of Zhang Zhu.
A blush mixed with shyness and anger appeared on Zhang Zhu's face that he had never seen before, and he blushed, and said loudly: "Gong Nai!"
However, her loud voice still couldn't conceal the visual impact brought to her by the image just now.
Zhang Zhu rubbed the center of her brows, trying to get that scene out of her mind.
But some things, the more you want to forget, the clearer you are.
What's more, the purpose of Gong Nai is to let her remember and understand what the wedding night was like!
(End of this chapter)
Ruyue hastily invited Imperial Physician Liu to take Zhang Zhu's pulse.
Unlike the trembling last time, Doctor Liu was much calmer this time.
He checked his pulse carefully, looked at Zhangzhu's vomit, and said to the two of them, "Princess should have eaten unclean food, which caused her to vomit and diarrhea. But it's nothing serious, my lord." Prescribe a secondary medicine, just take one and you’ll be fine.”
"Unclean food?" Gong Nai and Kisaragi looked at each other.
Since Zhangzhu's food and drink left the Li Kingdom's palace, the maid of the palace has been in charge of guarding the food. The only thing that has not been in her hands is the table of Xiqiang food given by Xi Liemo tonight.
But obviously I tried looking for Xiaohua, why is Xiaohua fine?
"Liu Yuyi, you said that this person will vomit after eating food, and will the cat be in trouble if he eats it?" Gong Nao asked cautiously.
Doctor Liu said: "It's hard to say! Cats and humans have different constitutions, and it mainly depends on the degree of uncleanness of the food, and it also varies from person to person. The princess's stomach is delicate, and a little uncleanness may also cause discomfort."
"Thank you, Doctor Liu, I understand!" Madam Gong stood up and sent her off, "Doctor Liu, please keep your mouth shut for tonight's matter!"
"You are too polite, Madam, I know." Doctor Liu hurriedly replied, "I will arrange for someone to decoct the medicine right now, and it will be delivered later. The princess will recover in the morning."
Although Gong Nai is a slave, she has been by the Queen's side for a long time, and now she is accompanying Zhang Zhu to marry Xi Qiang, and she will be the most trusted palace servant around Zhang Zhu in the future.
If Liu Yuyi wants to live a good life in Xiqiang, he must curry favor with her, so he is polite and courteous outside!
"These Xiqiang people are really too much!" After sending away Imperial Doctor Liu, Ruyue was indignant, "It's fine to send someone to secretly inquire about the princess's news, and then they cheated on the horse, and now they have just arrived in Xiqiang. , someone put their thoughts on the meal! If she enters the palace in the future, how will the princess live this day?"
"Now that we are in the clear and on the way, it is impossible to guard against! If we enter the palace, everything will be different!" Gong Nao's face was serious, "With the old slave here, no one will have the opportunity to do things on these things. You hurt the princess with your hands and feet!"
Kisaragi said: "Nurse, do you want to tell the King about this matter?"
Madam Gong hesitated and said, "It's best to discuss this matter with the princess."
"The princess will definitely say not to tell the king!" Kisaragi pouted.
"You girl understands my princess' thoughts." Zhang Zhu heard the conversation between the two, and said weakly.
Kisaragi lowered her head in embarrassment, "Princess, did the servant make you rest because of the noise?"
"It's okay, I've been awake for quite a while." Zhangzhu took a breath and said, "Ruyue, help Princess Ben get up."
"Yes, princess!" Ruyue replied, then stepped forward to help Zhang Zhu half sit up, and took a pillow and put it behind her.
Zhangzhu coughed twice, her voice was weak, "I don't agree to tell the king about this matter either!"
"Princess, why?" Kisaragi was a little dissatisfied.
"Because this is in the territory of Xiqiang. Once this matter is publicized, the king will definitely use the people in the post station to make amends to the princess in his anger!"
The palace nurse said: "The princess has not yet married the king, if the king has the idea of killing because of this, and if it spreads, it will definitely damage the princess' reputation.
Because the princess was not poisoned, but caused by unclean food. The imperial doctor just said that whether this unclean food causes uncomfortable symptoms depends on the constitution of the person.
If it was spread, it would only be said that the princess was delicate and expensive, and she was not used to the food of Xiqiang. If someone died because of this, the Xiqiang people would definitely blame the princess. "
Ruyue opened her mouth wide, thought for a while, and felt that what Gong Nai said was very reasonable.
But if she let it go like this, she would really feel unwilling.
Zhangzhu nodded, "What the nurse said is true, but this princess can't let others lead her by the nose! We don't need to tell the king truthfully about what happened tonight, but we can let him know appropriately:
Because of my health, this princess is not used to the Xiqiang diet for the time being. I hope he can allow me to prepare my own meals like when I was in Li, and then gradually adapt to the Xiqiang diet!
This request, the princess thinks, the king should agree! "
Gong Nai said happily: "It's so good, there is an old slave who personally checks, and will not let unclean food enter the princess's mouth!"
There was a touch of self-blame in those words, and Zhang Zhu smiled and said: "This time, it has nothing to do with Mammy, you are already very careful. And the other party obviously just wanted to pick something up, and didn't want to harm the princess, so That’s why the opponent took advantage of the loophole.”
"Then princess, are the people behind the scenes this time the same group as the previous two?" Ruyue asked.
Zhang Zhu said: "The people behind the madness with the concubine are certainly not the same group, but it's hard to say whether they are the same group as the people who peeped secretly for the first time!"
Kisaragi concluded: "That is to say, some people want to harm the princess, stir up disputes between the two countries, and reap the benefits of the fisherman; some people want the princess to lose the support of the people of Xiqiang, and then lose the trust and favor of the king?"
"Risue has made progress, I understand well!" Gong Nai said with a smile.
"Then what should we do?" Kisaragi asked again.
"The former will never be tolerated; the latter, small punishments and big punishments!" Although Zhang Zhu's voice was soft, it was unquestionable.
"Yes, princess!" Gong Nai and Ruyue respectfully replied.
In the morning of the second day, Xi Liemo, who learned that Zhang Zhu was feeling unwell due to eating Xiqiang meals, came to Zhang Zhu's room in person.
This time, Zhangzhu didn't put on the screen or put on the hat.
As soon as I came here, it was Xiqiang. According to the original agreement, after arriving in Xiqiang, everything will follow the customs of Xiqiang.
Secondly, Zhangzhu originally wanted Xi Liemo to look at her face, so that he would agree to let her own people prepare the meal.
She was half lying on the bed, her pale face between her smooth black hair immediately aroused Xi Liemo's heartache.
"Princess, are you feeling better today?" Xi Liemo's voice was soft and cautious, as if afraid of disturbing her.
"Your Majesty, palm beads are fine, just a little uncomfortable, and it has improved a lot, and your Majesty is worried about it." Because there is a need for him, the voice of palm beads is also very soft.
It was rare for Xi Liemo to see such a docile palm towards him. He took two steps forward and sat down on the side of the bed.
He put his palm on his forehead with one hand, the temperature under his hand was normal, he was slightly relieved, "May I let the imperial doctor see it?"
"I've seen it. The imperial doctor said that the Xiqiang diet has a heavy taste. This princess just can't get used to it for a while. Maybe it will take a few days to get used to it."
Zhang Zhu's eyes drooped slightly, resisting the urge to remove Xi Liemo's hand from his forehead.
One time has already made his heart ache, how can he let her be like this every day?
There was some self-reproach in Xi Liemo's gentle voice, "Before, this king didn't think well and acted too hastily! How about this, the people who brought the princess will prepare the meals in the future. As for the meals of Xiqiang, the princess will gradually get used to it. That’s fine, just take care of yourself, you know?”
Zhang Zhu was a little surprised when he offered to prepare meals by himself.
She bit her lower lip, and said softly: "Zhang Zhu understands, thank you, Your Majesty!"
Such a well-behaved and weak Zhangzhu made Xi Liemo more and more reluctant to leave. He couldn't help but grabbed Zhangzhu's hand outside, and said in a blurred voice, "Ashu!"
"Your Majesty!" Zhang Zhu was shocked, but he didn't dare to struggle vigorously.
Xi Liemo held her weak and boneless little hand, feeling his whole body go numb, and whispered "Ashu" in his mouth, but bent down towards Zhangzhu.
Is this mess trying to take advantage of her illness and treat her lightly?
"My lord, Zhangzhu feels unwell and wants to rest." Zhangzhu stared at his approaching face, with grievance and anger in his eyes.
Xi Liemo's eyes were dark and heavy, like a bottomless abyss.
He quietly stared into Zhang Zhu's eyes, as if he wanted to suck her into the abyss.
Standing so close, he could smell the breath of the man on his body, and Zhang Zhu's heart jumped uncontrollably.
Suddenly, Xi Liemo smiled at her. At that moment, it was as if thousands of trees and pear blossoms were blown by the wind, and the white petals were flying all over the sky. The beautiful scene instantly took everyone's breath away.
Zhang Zhu couldn't help but hold his breath.
She knows that she has extraordinary looks, and there are only a few people who can surpass her looks, so no matter men or women, she pays less attention to their appearance.
But at this moment, she had to admit that this Xi Liemo was indeed rare in the world in terms of appearance alone.
At this moment, even when she saw it, she couldn't help but want to take another look.
The focus in her eyes fell into Xi Liemo's eyes, making the smile on his lips even wider, and the magnetic voice was mixed with charm, "Princess, take a good rest, my king, don't bother me!"
It wasn't until Xi Liemo left for a long time that Zhang Zhu's chest was slowly exhaled.
Kisaragi approached cautiously, and said timidly: "Princess."
Zhang Zhu glared at her, she didn't show up when she needed it just now, she didn't know where she went, what's the use of showing up now?
Ruyue was also very aggrieved, she stood at the door to greet her, originally wanted to bring Xi Liemo in, but was stopped by A Cong at the door.
She didn't dare to call, so she could only stand obediently outside the door.
After Zhangzhu stared at Ruyue, she felt that in the future, her house could no longer be the same as before, only Ruyue would serve her personally.
Even if he doesn't serve him personally, if there are many people in the house, even if Xi Liemo comes again, it will make him feel a little apprehensive.
When I think of him, I think of the moment I met his gaze just now, and the right hand held by him, which is as hot as fire.
Zhangzhu couldn't help but rubbed against the quilt, "Ruyue, fetch a basin of water."
"Yes! Princess!" Seeing that the princess didn't continue to blame her, Ruyue's mood brightened, and she quickly ran out to fetch water.
After preparing the daily meals by myself, under the strict supervision of the palace maid, no mistakes were made.
However, no matter it is Ayu, Ruyue, or Ru An who was newly transferred to the palm bead room, they dare not take it lightly.
At the same time, Xi Liemo also sent additional staff.
As soon as they entered the territory of Xiqiang, Xi Liemo sent someone to inform the Lianjia army, and sent [-] elite soldiers to escort them.
Until they moved into the annex near the palace, a thousand elite soldiers were stationed outside, not even a fly could fly in.
The furnishings in the other hall are somewhat similar to those of Li Guo. According to the gatekeeper here, it was repaired at the beginning of the year, and the king personally supervised the work.
And I heard that not only the buildings in the annex have been repaired, but also the Taihe Palace where the queen lives in the palace has also been renovated.
Because of this incident, Ruyue immediately turned against Xi Liemo.
"Princess, Your Majesty treats you so well!" Ru Yue enviously.
Zhangzhu didn't bother to talk to her, "Ruyue, have you sorted out the list of congratulatory gifts sent by those Xiqiang nobles?"
"Not yet, princess!" Kisaragi lowered her head shyly.
Zhang Zhu glanced at her and didn't speak, but the meaning was self-evident: If you have time to express your feelings here, it's better to go to work quickly.
"Princess, princess, this servant is not lazy!" Ruyue hurriedly explained, and pulled out a post from the sleeve, "Princess, this is a greeting post from the third princess in the queen's harem. I want to see you, princess, in three days!"
Zhang Zhu frowned, "Put it down first, go get busy!"
"Yes, princess."
Later, Zhang Zhu told the matter to Gong Nai.
Gong Nai said: "The third concubine, one of the four major concubines in the queen's harem, is the daughter of the Helan family, one of the three nobles of the Western Qiang.
The great king's great-grandmother came from the Helan family, and the two could barely be regarded as cousins.
This time, the person who sent someone to send a greeting card was the first person in the queen's harem to send a greeting card to the princess, and the power behind him should not be underestimated, the princess must handle it carefully! "
Zhang Zhu said: "The princess called Mammy to come here, just to hear your opinion!"
"Although the third princess has a noble status, the princess has only seven days to marry, and there are many things that need to be prepared. This old slave suggests finding a reason to push the third princess!" Gong Nao said: "Because once this precedent is set, the next People, it will be bad if the princess is gone!"
"This princess also thinks the same!" Zhang Zhu nodded, "Mama, if someone sends you a invitation again, I will reject it outright. The reasons are: one is to prepare for the wedding, and the time is tight; I can't bear your visit."
"The old slave knows."
-
The third concubine, Helan Qingcheng, who received the rejection letter, was wearing tulle and leaning on the arms of a handsome man.
Xiqiang people are tall and tall, and women are no exception. Helan Qingcheng's facial features are bright and magnificent, and her figure is uneven.
"My lord, that little beauty has declined!" Her voice was full of contempt, "I originally wanted to tell her something about the king's hobbies, so that she could get favored as soon as possible, but now it seems that our kindness is not appreciated by others. Thank you!"
The man chuckled, "Little boy, are you jealous? Your king didn't even touch you, but he secretly went to Li country to welcome that little beauty back. You are really upset." Are you comfortable? How about this king help you?"
Helan Qingcheng glanced at him charmingly
The man whispered into Helan Qingcheng's ear, "Be careful, don't worry, after Princess Li enters the palace, there will be plenty of opportunities, and our plan will go smoothly!"
Helan Qingcheng's voice was soft and melodious, "My lord, Qingcheng understands. Qingcheng will definitely help you complete your plan, but my lord, don't forget your promise to Qingcheng..."
The man put his arm around Helan Qingcheng's waist and pressed her against the bed...
After a long time, the man embraced Helan Qingcheng and said: "Since Princess Li refuses to see you because her identity is unknown, then I have no choice but to go out."
"I heard that Princess Li is the number one beauty in Li Country, my lord, don't be seduced by her." The woman in her arms said coquettishly.
"The third concubine is also one of the most beautiful women in Xiqiang. Why, doesn't the third concubine have confidence in herself?" The man teased and said, "I don't dare to say about my face, but with this figure, the third concubine is definitely better than that thin one." Li country beauty."
This is true!Helan Qingcheng is very confident about her figure, which is indeed unmatched in Xiqiang.
"After seeing the prince, you must tell Qingcheng when you come back. Qingcheng is also very curious about how beautiful the little beauty of the Li Kingdom was, and how she stole the king's soul?" Helan Qingcheng asked softly.
The man patted his hand vigorously, causing her to scream, "My lord, why are you beating Qingcheng?"
"You are the king's real woman, and you are showing your love for the king in front of the king like this. Do you think you should hit him or not?" The man pretended to be jealous.
Helan Qingcheng smiled triumphantly, coquettishly, "Okay, okay, it's Qingcheng's fault, tell me, how do you want to punish Qingcheng?"
The man whispered in her ear with ill intentions and whispered something.
Helan Qingcheng thumped him coquettishly, "I hate it!" But the action was as he wished...
-
The third concubine's greeting letter had just been rejected, and the first princess and the second princess' invitation letter came again.
Ruyue huffed, "What's the matter with these people? Don't you know that the princess is very busy to be married, how can I have time to take care of them?"
Ru'an comforted: "Sister Ruyue, these people may not necessarily want to meet the princess, but the third concubine posted the post first, and even if the other concubines don't want to meet, they have to put on a show."
"Then why the fourth princess didn't ask for invitations? Could it be that she doesn't take our princess seriously?" Ruyue became even more angry.
Ru'an rolled her eyes secretly, you think people are annoying when you vote for the greeting post, if you don't vote for the greeting post, do you suspect that people don't take the princess seriously?
Sister Ruyue, with your stubborn mind, how did you become the princess' personal maid?
At this moment, Ru An suddenly had doubts about her own princess's vision.
The maid in the house smiled and said to Zhang Zhu: "Ruo'an is a good girl, she has a clear and calm mind, and the princess has a very good vision."
The implication of this is that Kisaragi is not doing well.
Zhangzhu smiled and said: "Like the moon has the benefits of being like the moon, and the mother will know in the future. From now on, everything in the palace will depend on the mother and Ru'an!"
"I will do my best!" After expressing her attitude, Madam Gong took out a greeting card from her sleeve, "Princess, you don't have to miss all the concubines and beauties in the palace, but I'm afraid the princess should meet this person!"
Zhang Zhu said: "Who?"
Gong Nai said: "Your Majesty's Sixth Uncle, Prince Ling Xi Lingyun. He is the person in charge of this wedding, and he is also an elder. I'm afraid it would be bad if we don't see each other!"
"My princess knows!" Zhang Zhu said: "Then according to the time on the greeting card, I will meet him in person in the other hall the day after tomorrow!"
"The old slave understands." Gong Nai remembered something again, "Princess, it's only a few days before entering the palace. Regarding some information in the palace, the old slave thought that I should let Ru'an know."
"Then call her in." Zhang Zhu said, "It just so happens that the princess is familiar with her."
"Yes."
Ruan who was outside suddenly heard the voice of the palace maid inside, thinking that she had just talked to Ruyue about arguing with her master, so she walked in timidly with a pale face, "Meet the princess, Palace nurse."
"Ru'an, get up and talk." Zhang Zhu said gently.
"Yes, princess."
"Sit down," Gongmao pointed to the small stool beside her, seeing Ru'an feeling a little uneasy, she understood.
Ru An used to be in the princess's outer court and had very few chances to meet her. Now that she is suddenly promoted to the position of a personal maid, it is normal to feel a little panic.
Ru An Yiyan sit down.
Grandma Gong began to talk about the intricate relationship in the Western Qiang harem, "There are three ancient nobles in the Western Qiang country that are more than 300 years old, and a family of generals that has emerged in the past 20 years, and the four major concubines in the palace come from these four families.
Grand Concubine Gongsun Min, born in the most influential Gongsun family, is the eldest daughter of the first cousin of the Queen Mother, that is, the cousin of the Great King's ancestral family. She has the most noble status in the palace, and her temperament is a bit arrogant.
The second concubine, Huyan Yunxi, was born in the Huyan family of the second nobleman. She is the granddaughter of the elder brother of the first queen, the great king's grandmother, and the cousin of the great king's great-grandfather's family. It is said that she has a gentle temperament.
The third concubine, Helan Qingcheng, was born in the Helan family of the third nobleman, and the great king's great-grandmother was from the Helan family. The two could barely be regarded as cousins.
The fourth concubine, Lian Zhiruo, was born in the Lian family, a newly-rising family of generals. She is the youngest daughter of Marshal Lian. It is said that she is not in good health, but she is extremely intelligent and weak-tempered.
The successive queens of the Western Qiang royal family all came from the three major families. In order to prevent one family from being dominant, the queens appointed by each king would avoid the ancestral family and choose from the other two great families.
However, the three major families have never given up on successive generations of queens, all of which came from the wishes of the families. Because of this, the three princesses did not give in to each other in the palace, and before the king did not choose the final queen, the affairs in the harem now, The Fourth Princess Lian Zhiruo is taking care of it..."
-
The first thing Xi Liemo did after returning to the palace was to send someone to re-examine all the items in the wedding, from the sedan chair to the drinks, from the wedding room to the palace people, not letting go of any inaccuracies.
The next night, he went to the fourth concubine Lian Zhiruo.
Lian Zhiruo is the youngest daughter of Grand Marshal Lian. The original Mrs. Lian and now Mrs. Lian were close to thirty when she was pregnant with her, and because of Marshal Lian's concubine, she was so angry that she almost got pregnant. After a miscarriage, Lian Zhiruo was born after a slow recuperation after a lot of painstaking efforts.
Therefore, Lian Zhiruo has been thinner than ordinary children since she was a child, and her physique is also poor. After more than ten years of intensive care, she gradually improved.
Due to years of illness, Lian Zhiruo is very thin, coupled with the tall bones of Xiqiang people, according to Ji Ziqi's perspective, she is definitely a supermodel in modern times.
But in ancient times, such an emaciated and chronically ill appearance made people feel that it was difficult to raise a healthy next generation. Therefore, no matter how much the Lian family was favored by the emperor, Lian Zhiruo's marriage has not been smooth.
Then one day, Xi Liemo went to Lian's house and had a private meeting with Lian Zhiruo. Two months later, Lian Zhiruo entered the palace and became Xi Liemo's fourth concubine. Before, he managed the entire harem on his behalf.
Whether it is the Western Qiang royal family or the nobles, they do not fully pay attention to the eldest son, but put ability first.
Therefore, even though Lian Zhiruo was the most loved and trusted by Xi Liemo in the eyes of everyone, the other three princesses did not target her too much.
Because everyone knows well that with Lian Zhiruo's body, it is said that it is difficult to conceive a healthy next generation.
Even if the next generation is healthy, it is difficult to guarantee that recessive diseases will be passed on to the next generation. For the royal family, this kind of unknown risk will not bet on it anyway.
Without the next generation's competition for the throne, the other three princesses did not want to offend her too much, so the entire Western Qiang harem seemed to be in peace until Zhang Zhu's future.
It's just that all the strength is in the dark.
"I've met the king!" Lian Zhiruo bowed and saluted with a calm expression, without any joy that she hadn't seen for a long time.
"There's no need to be too polite!" Xi Liemo waved his hand slightly, "Go down."
"Yes!" The servants in the palace retreated one by one.
Xi Liemo sat in the grand teacher's chair, nodded to Lian Zhiruo to sit down, "Have you been feeling better recently?"
Lian Zhiruo said indifferently: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. Zhiruo's body has always been like this, and there is no difference."
"The imperial doctor said that if you can maintain your current physical condition, the baby you will give birth to in the future will be fine."
"Zhiruo knows."
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Xi Liemo got to the point, "Is there any news from Lianjue?"
Talking about that tough man, Lian Zhiruo's expression changed, a trace of tenderness appeared on her calm face, "He came the day before the king returned to the palace."
"What did you find?"
"After the concubine was selected by the king as a gift for the princess, after about three months of training, the person in charge was a member of the Helan family, and only members of the Helan family had the opportunity to get close to it." Lian Zhi Ruo Dao: "People from the Helan family have been in frequent contact with Ling Wang's mansion in the past few months."
After hearing this, Xi Liemo closed his eyes with a solemn expression, unable to see what he was thinking in his heart. After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, "This king knows."
Then he stood up, thinking of something before leaving, and said: "After the princess enters the palace, help her control the harem as soon as possible."
"My lord," Lian Zhiruo's lips curled up, but she didn't smile, "Zhiruo will leave everything to the princess, but whether the princess can control the harem by her own ability, it all depends on the princess herself. What Zhiruo can do is to stay out of the matter, or remind her at the right time."
At this time, Lian Zhiruo rejected Xi Liemo's proposal as a concubine, which can be regarded as quite disrespectful.
But Xi Liemo knows that Lian Zhiruo's cold-faced and aloof personality in her heart, if she catches her eye, she will help her with all her strength. meaning.
Thinking of that proud little man, he unconsciously brought a smile on his lips, nodded to Lian Zhiruo, and left.
-
On the afternoon of the third day, Lord Ling Xi Lingyun arrived as scheduled.
Xiqiang is very tolerant towards women. The hats worn by women when they go out are used to keep out the wind and sand, not to block the eyes of outsiders.
The younger and more beautiful a woman is, the more she likes to show her face outside, and never hides it hypocritically.
It is quite common for a remarriage or a widow to remarry. If a concubine in a noble family falls in love with another man and asks the master, the master will even prepare a dowry and send the concubine out.
Xiqiang people are bold and direct, pure and sincere in their feelings. When they meet someone they like, it is common for them to confess directly in person.
But what is interesting is that the Xiqiang people do not attach great importance to chastity, but they attach great importance to blood. Once they find that the children they raise are not their own, both mother and child will be executed.
Zhangzhu was amazed by these customs of Xiqiang, but when it was her turn to abide by them, she, who was used to the etiquette of the Li Kingdom, was still not used to it.
For example, when meeting Xi Lingyun, they cannot be separated by a screen, but face to face.
At this time, Xi Lingyun was walking back and forth leisurely in the main hall with his hands behind his back, admiring the wonderful landscape paintings of Li Guo's masters on the wall.
He has a tall figure unique to the Xiqiang people, about 27 or [-] years old, and his face is half like that of Xi Liemo. Just looking at his appearance, he is also a very handsome man.
With the extravagance of the whole body, it has added a lot of points virtually, and it is the dream object of many women in Xiqiang.
It's just that his eyes, upon closer inspection, are a little swollen, which is the aftereffect of being too immersed in beauty and wine.
"The princess is here!" With the shouts of the palace people in the other hall, Xi Lingyun's walking figure stopped.
He turned around slowly when he heard light footsteps coming from behind.
After turning around and taking a look, Xi Lingyun's eyeballs could no longer be separated from his palms.
Compared with the grandeur and gorgeousness of Xiqiang women, her facial features are much softer and more delicate, so delicate that people are reluctant to touch them, for fear that they will break if touched.
However, in this kind of softness, there is a kind of fierce and proud beauty.
Yes, proud!
Xiqiang women are very proud, especially noble women. Xi Lingyun has seen too many proud women, such as Helan Qingcheng.
But at this time, compared with Zhangzhu's natural pride, he suddenly felt that the so-called pride of those women was a kind of superficiality, a kind of ostentatious superficiality, just like Helan Qingcheng proudly showing off her proud figure all the time.
As for Princess Li in front of her, her pride emanates from her flesh and blood, it is a symbol of status, a temperament that only a natural royal family can have.
She didn't even need to speak, just stood there quietly, with a firm and beautiful neck, that kind of beauty and pride made it impossible to hide.
Like the scorching sun that can bask in the dead in Xiqiang summer, all those who have seen her can only surrender and prostrate at her feet.
Xi Lingyun had only seen that kind of bearing in two people.
One is his elder brother, the last king of Xiqiang, and the other is the current king of Xiqiang, Xi Liemo.
In Xi Lingyun's heart, more unwillingness suddenly appeared.
He, Xi Liemo, just had a good pregnancy. How can he, not to mention having the supreme power, marry the most noble and beautiful woman in the world?
No matter how much a person hides, his eyes will always reveal his thoughts unintentionally.
At this time, Xi Lingyun's eyes were full of surprise, greed and jealousy, which made Zhangzhu, who was looking at him unintentionally, feel extremely uncomfortable.
She saluted briefly, breaking the dullness, "I have seen the prince."
According to the status of Princess Zhangzhuli, there is actually no need to salute a prince from a foreign country.
But Xi Lingyun stared at her blankly, which made her very unhappy, and he was also Xi Liemo's sixth uncle, so it would not be rude for her to speak first.
At this time, Xi Lingyun recovered from the astonishment, but he did not take his eyes back, but stared at Zhangzhu more boldly, with a flirtatious smile on his face, "I have seen the princess, the princess called me the king and the six kings!" Uncle can."
"The princess and the king haven't saluted yet, so it's better to call the prince." Zhang Zhu said indifferently: "I don't know if the prince is here today, but it's about the wedding?"
"The princess is really smart. It's about the wedding. Some details need to be discussed with the princess." Xi Lingyun stared at Zhang Zhu's face without any concealment, greedy in his eyes, and said: "Princess, why don't we sit down?" How about coming down and discussing it slowly?"
Zhang Zhu's face darkened, "My princess's wedding is all in the hands of Grandma Gong and Master Yu, and the prince can discuss with him if you have anything to do."
She turned her head slightly, and raised her voice, "Ruyue, go and call the palace nurse and Master Yu out, and tell Xiqiang Prince Ling that you are welcome!"
Then he bowed slightly, "My lord, please wait a moment, the princess has something else to do, so I won't accompany you!"
Ru'an on the side immediately stepped forward to support her, and blocked Xi Lingyun's inappropriate eyes by the way.
"Then princess, go slowly, the king will come to visit the princess next time!" Xi Lingyun, who had his eyes covered, was a little displeased, but he quickly covered it up, and watched Zhang Zhu go far away gracefully with his hands clasped.
Zhangzhu returned to the room, thinking of Xi Lingyun's gaze, she was so sick that she wanted to vomit.
Compared with Xi Liemo's presumptuousness and aggression, this Lord Ling was so disgusting that she didn't want to be in the same place with him even for a breath.
At this time, Zhang Zhu still didn't understand the difference between conquering and possessing. Xi Liemo wanted to conquer her physically and mentally, while Xi Lingyun wanted to possess her physically.
She just instinctively felt that it was a good thing that the person she married with was Xi Liemo!
Three days before the wedding, Gong Nai began to educate Zhang Zhu about the newlyweds.
When she took out the treasured picture in the Li Kingdom's palace, opened a page, and displayed it in front of Zhang Zhu.
A blush mixed with shyness and anger appeared on Zhang Zhu's face that he had never seen before, and he blushed, and said loudly: "Gong Nai!"
However, her loud voice still couldn't conceal the visual impact brought to her by the image just now.
Zhang Zhu rubbed the center of her brows, trying to get that scene out of her mind.
But some things, the more you want to forget, the clearer you are.
What's more, the purpose of Gong Nai is to let her remember and understand what the wedding night was like!
