Chapter 201 The Big Marriage
"Princess, this is human nature, but it's just for the sake of the next generation, what's there to be ashamed of?"

Madam Gong said solemnly: "Princess, this is what you, as a bride, must learn!"

When the nuns of the royal family are educating the prince and princess in the palace, no matter how noble their status is, the prince and princess must obey.

This is the identity of Gong Nai at this time.

Zhang Zhu couldn't refuse, so she could only blushed, and followed the instructions of Gong Nai, slowly reading page by page.

While watching, you have to listen to Gong Nai's explanation.

Zhang Zhu only wished that she was blind and deaf at this moment, unable to see or hear.

But that unusually realistic image, combined with the calm voice of Gong Nai, was printed into her mind bit by bit.

Gong Nai could see her resistance and embarrassment.

"Princess, put this picture book here with the princess first. In the next few days, the princess must take it out and review it from time to time. The old slave will come to check the princess's progress in the evening."

"Understood, mammy!" Zhang Zhu bit the bullet and said.

After Gongmao left, Zhang Zhu quickly threw the album aside like a hot potato, then covered her head with the quilt, and screamed inwardly.

After a long time, Zhang Zhu, who was so stuffy that he couldn't breathe, got out of the quilt, panting heavily.

She got up and paced the room anxiously, and she had to find a way to prevent this from happening.

She married Xiqiang for the sake of peace between the two countries, for the development of what she had learned, not for Xi Liemo to treat her...

stop!Can't think about it anymore!Zhang Zhu's face became more and more red, she raised her hand and hit her head hard to wake herself up.

The most important thing now is to make it clear to Xi Liemo that there are so many women in his harem, one more woman is not too many, and one less woman is not much.

If he wants to do something, he can just find another woman, she will definitely not object, and she can even help him arrange it properly.

Moreover, she asked her mother to choose twenty beauties in Li Guojing, isn't it specially prepared for him?
With so many beauties of different colors in Xiqiang and Li, what else is he not satisfied with?

Feeling that he has figured it out, Zhang Zhu decides to clarify with Xi Liemo on the wedding night.

-

Not long after Xi Lingyun reluctantly left the villa, he was called into the palace by Xi Liemo.

It turned out that after two days and two nights of thorough investigation, the problem was finally found in the final wine that was going to be presented. It was not poison, but a drug that could make people sleepy for a day and a night.

"Uncle Wang, I hope that after Uncle Wang finds out this matter, I will explain it to you!" Xi Liemo's expression showed no sign of happiness or anger.

"Yes! Your Majesty! This matter is a dereliction of duty by the lower officials, and the lower officials must investigate strictly!" Xi Lingyun said respectfully.

The expression on Xi Liemo's face softened a little, "Uncle Wang, this matter is during the wedding between the king and the princess, and I don't want it to bring a bad omen. Does Uncle Wang understand what I mean?"

Xi Lingyun said: "The lower officials know! The lower officials will only investigate secretly, and find out who is behind the scenes, so that nothing bad will happen, and the king and princess will suffer."

"That's great!" Xi Liemo nodded, "If you say this matter is not big, if you say it is small, it can be regarded as a prank if you think about it, because the king and the princess can't have sex;
Speaking of Dali, the king and the princess represent the Xiqiang and Li countries. People in both countries are paying attention to this wedding. If something goes wrong, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction between the two countries. At that time, not only the king and the princess will be lost. The face, but the face of Xi Qiang and Li Guo!
So, Uncle Wang, no matter what, we must find out who is behind this scene?And what is the purpose of doing this? "

"Yes!" Xi Lingyun respectfully responded, but in his heart he scolded the eldest princess, Gongsun Min, and the second princess, Huyan Yunxi.

Except for those two Gongsun Min and Huyan Yunxi who are so devoted to Xi Liemo, and relying on the support of Gongsun and Huyan's family, who dare to do anything, who else would do such a stupid thing?
Two stupid things, even if they can't have sex on the wedding night, Xi Liemo and Princess Li will have sex sooner or later, why bother?
Not to mention the good things that almost ruined him, it almost made him stained. After all, he is the person in charge of the wedding, and he can't even do such a small thing well, let alone manage the entire Xiqiang in the future?
The old antiques of the three major families probably wouldn't believe him so easily!

Only if he can be perfect in handling everything, and let everyone see his ability, can the three major families not feel sorry when they finally abandon Xi Liemo, so as to help him ascend the throne smoothly!
After walking out of the palace, the anger in Xi Lingyun's heart dissipated a little.

Then when he thought of that unparalleled beauty in the world, who was about to become Xi Liemo's man, he felt so regretful.

But it doesn't matter, she will still be his in the future.

Just like Helan Qingcheng who had been rejecting him before, didn't she surrender to him in the end?

-

A moonlike voice sounded outside the door, "Princess, the king is here to see you!"

Yesterday, it was discovered that Xi Liemo had been drugged into Heying wine. After Xi Lingyun left, he was eager to see Zhang Zhu's beautiful face and hear her crisp voice.

After trying hard to restrain himself for a long time, Xi Liemo, who didn't come to the other building in the middle of the night, came to the other building immediately after morning morning.

After Zhang Zhu tidied up her appearance, she stood up and walked to the door.

"See the king for Zhangzhu!" When he was about to salute, Xi Liemo stretched out his hand to cover Zhangzhu's arm, took the opportunity to hold down Zhangzhu's hand, and squeezed it hard.

Zhangzhu hurriedly wanted to take back his hand, but Xi Liemo didn't want to hold it for a long time, and let go after a pinch.

"My lord, Zhangzhu has something to discuss with you!"

Xi Liemo's sanity came back a bit, he sat down and looked at Zhang Zhu with a smile: "Princess, please sit down and talk!"

Zhang Zhu looked at the round table, and sat on the farthest opposite side from Xi Liemo.

Facing Xi Liemo, he said seriously: "Your Majesty, the wedding between His Majesty and Zhang Zhu will be held in two days. I have some ideas. Zhang Zhu thinks that I should let Your Majesty know in advance."

Xi Liemo's eyes were filled with burning light, which made her afraid to look directly at her.

He didn't make a sound, waiting for her to continue.

"Before Zhangzhu agreed to marry Xiqiang, he made three agreements with the king. I wonder if the king remembers it?"

Zhangzhu said: "Your Majesty will not trap Zhangzhu in the harem, Zhangzhu will use what Li Guo has learned in the workshop to help Xiqiang develop the economy, and will never interfere in the Western Qiang government!"

The corners of Xi Liemo's lips curled slightly, and he nodded.

"Now Zhang Zhu has something to ask, please allow it!" Zhang Zhu thought of what he was going to say later, his whole body became hot, but he tried his best to maintain a calm expression on his face.

"Princess, please speak!" Xi Liemo encouraged with a smile.

"The marriage between Zhang Zhu and the Great King actually represents the political union between the Li Kingdom and the Western Qiang. From now on, Zhang Zhu and the Great King will be both prosperous and hurt. Therefore, Zhang Zhu must do his best to cooperate with the King in some matters!

For example, in Liangzhou of Li State before, the horse sent by the king and the love concubine got out of control. The people behind the scenes wanted to harm Zhang Zhu, but they actually targeted the king. I believe the king knows this better than Zhang Zhu.

Zhangzhu is willing to cooperate with the king to find out the people behind the scenes and help the king secure the throne for the sake of the king and himself!

At the same time, Zhangzhu is also willing to help the royal family to expand the harem for the king, and manage the harem well, and will never allow the harm to the descendants of the royal family to happen!

And he is willing to choose an excellent prince and record it under Zhangzhu's name, so that Li Guo can become his solid backing, help him ascend the throne smoothly, and ensure the prosperity of Xiqiang for a hundred years! "

The expression on the face of the palm was firm, she didn't say a word about her reluctance to have sex, but what she said clearly meant that she married Xiqiang only for a certain purpose, and she was willing to be his political ally, But I don't want to have any emotional involvement with him, and I don't want to conceive the next generation with him.

Xi Liemo's gentle and smiling expression turned cold in an instant, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and his voice was as cold as snow, "What does the princess mean, do you want to be a couple with this king only in name?"

Zhang Zhu bit her lip, not daring to look directly into Xi Liemo's eyes, and nodded lightly, "The twenty carefully selected beauties that Zhang Zhu brought from Li Guo were carefully prepared for Your Majesty."

"Since the princess agreed to marry to Xiqiang, she has already made up her mind?" Xi Liemo's voice became colder.

He stared at Zhangzhu fiercely, his gaze fixed, not letting go of the slightest change on her face.

Intellectually, he is very clear that Zhangzhu is not joking with him, but emotionally, he has a hard time accepting that Zhangzhu, who was born for him and married to him, actually told him: She only wants to be with him in name. couples!

In the end, Xi Liemo had no choice but to accept this fact, his eyes seemed to be frozen, but there was a faint playful smile on his face, with a wicked charm, he wrote lightly:

"The state of Li pays the most attention to etiquette, and you, as the eldest princess of the state of Li, should be very clear that the marriage will only be considered valid after the yuan handkerchief is inspected and confirmed the next morning!
If the princess is unwilling, I am afraid that the position of the princess as queen will not be secure, and the princess' wish will hardly have a chance to be realized! "

She is very clear about these things, and Nanny Gong told her, so she wanted to discuss it with him!Zhang Zhu's face was flushed red, and he didn't know how to answer.

Her helplessness made Xi Liemo's cold heart feel better, and the look in her eyes that didn't dare to meet him made the tenderness in his heart slowly rise.

However, he has been waiting for her for too long, and there is absolutely no reason to wait any longer!
Once she and him get married, they will be husband and wife for life. Sooner or later, she will belong to him and bear children for him. The two will be together for the rest of their lives, just like his father, queen and queen.

So what's the difference between early and late?
Unless, she thought about marrying someone else in the future!

In the Western Qiang Palace, if there are concubines or beauties who have fallen out of favor and voluntarily leave the palace to marry someone else, they can leave the palace only after obtaining the permission of the king and queen!
Although there has never been a precedent for a queen to remarry, there is no saying in Xiqiang that queens cannot be separated or remarried!
With this thought, the tenderness in Xi Liemo's heart dissipated instantly. His sharp eyes stared at Zhang Zhu's little face, and cruelty arose in his heart: Don't even think about it!Now that she has entered the palace and married him, she will be his Xi Liemo's man at birth, and his Xi Liemo's ghost at death!
"Princess, there are still government affairs to be dealt with in the palace, so I'll take my leave first!" Xi Liemo stood up, his tall body carrying invisible coercion.

The moment Zhang Zhu raised his head, Xi Liemo turned around and strode out.

Is this a promise or not?Zhangzhu opened her mouth, looking at his retreating back, but still couldn't make a sound.

Zhang Zhu, who didn't get a clear reply, was a little sluggish, but she couldn't help but complete the tasks assigned by the palace nanny.

In a blink of an eye, the day of marriage came.

Xiqiang does not have as many red tapes as the Li Kingdom, but it is still the royal family, and it took nearly a day to complete a set of kneeling and worshiping itineraries.

According to the customs of Xiqiang, the bride does not need to cover her head. For this matter, Li Guolai's Master Yu and Xi Lingyun, who was in charge of the wedding in Xiqiang, insisted for a long time.

Master Yu believes that everything can be carried out according to the customs of Xiqiang, except for the covering of the head, he insists that it must follow the customs of the Li country.

In his opinion, Princess Li Guozhang has a noble status, how can she be exposed to anyone's eyes at will?And the face of the bride should be the first one seen by the groom king Xi Liemo!
If Xi Lingyun had never seen Zhang Zhu before, or if Zhang Zhu had not been born so beautiful and caught his eyes, Xi Lingyun would not have insisted so much.

Out of selfishness, Xi Lingyun also wanted to see the palm beads in full dress at the same time, so he insisted on following the Xiqiang customs.

Later, Xi Liemo, who was aware of the dispute, said: Follow the customs of the Li country, and the princess of the Li country should wear a hijab on the day she gets married!

A man's natural possessiveness prevails at this moment, and Xi Liemo finds that he prefers the customs of Li country.

The beauty of palm beads, especially on this special day, he hopes and can only be enjoyed by himself alone!
When the king of a country gets married, naturally no one dares to build a new house, not even toast.

In case the king gets drunk, delays the wedding ceremony, offends the future queen and the Li country behind her, few people can bear such a heavy responsibility!
But the truths that the rich and powerful courtiers can understand, those beauties in the harem who love Xi Liemo may not be able to understand!
In other words, even if he understands, he knows that he can't do this, but he is so jealous that he doesn't care about the consequences, so he doesn't bother to think about the consequences.

As soon as Xi Liemo stepped into the new house, before the bride's hijab was removed, a court lady begged to see her.

The palace lady is the white dress of the princess Gongsun Min's close-fitting maid, and Ah Cong recognizes her.

Because of Gongsun Min's special status, A never dared to stop him, and he thought that since the princess could send white clothes over on the festive night in the king's bridal chamber, it must be a very urgent matter.

"Your Majesty," Bai Yi knelt outside the new house, with an anxious voice, crying loudly: "Tonight is the wedding ceremony of the King and the Queen. The servants know that they have come to disturb them, and death is inevitable. The servants dare not ask the King Forgive the queen!

But the princess has a sudden emergency, she has difficulty breathing, and her complexion is pale, I beg the king to see that the princess is your cousin, go and see the princess! "

"Have you hired an imperial physician?" Xi Liemo asked very normally, without any emotion.

"Never!" Bai Yi kept kowtowing his head, choked up and said, "The Great Princess has been crying 'Great King, Great King'. The slaves are afraid that something will happen to her, and they don't care about other things. They risk their lives to beg the King and Queen, and the Queen for permission." I beg the king to go and see the princess!"

Xi Liemo didn't notice Bai Yi's pretentiousness at all, raised his head slightly and said indifferently: "Bai Yi, do you think that this king is an imperial physician who can help people treat symptoms? Is the medicine cured?"

"Ah?" Bai Yi couldn't react at once, raised his head and opened his mouth to look at Xi Liemo, and then realized that this was wrong, immediately lowered his head, and kowtowed hard, "Servant, servant dare not!"

"Don't you dare? The princess is ill. Instead of asking the imperial doctor to treat the princess, the first thing you do is come to see me? Baiyi, you are a good maid of honor!"

Xi Liemo snorted softly, his voice was full of majesty, and the aura of the king was fully revealed, so frightened that the white clothes kneeling on the ground outside the wedding room did not dare to breathe, "Today is the king's big day, and for the sake of the new queen Come on, let’s not pursue today! Leave quickly!”

In the end, Xi Liemo's voice increased slightly, showing his impatience at this moment.

If you don't leave, you will really annoy Xi Liemo, I'm afraid there will be no good fruit to eat!
The white clothes trembled, said "yes" softly, got up and left.

Gong Nai, who was standing beside Zhang Zhu in the wedding room, was very satisfied with Xi Liemo's performance.

In the deep palace, there are endless ways for women to compete for favor, and the key to success depends on whether the man's mind is clear or not!

Obviously, Xi Liemo's mind is very clear.

This also shows from the side that he attaches great importance to Princess Zhangzhu, and the eldest princess in the palace, although she is related to Xi Liemo, is not particularly favored because of this!
Zhang Zhu felt very sorry.

If Xi Liemo followed the white clothes, the princess pretended to be pitiful and weak, and threw herself into her arms, taking the opportunity to keep Xi Liemo behind, that would be the best!

She wouldn't have to face Xi Liemo all night, not knowing what to do!
It's a pity that the sky doesn't follow her wish!
The moment he was distracted, the hijab was suddenly lifted.

Zhang Zhu involuntarily raised his head to look in the direction where Xi Liemo was standing.

Her eyes couldn't adapt to the sudden light, she squinted slightly, not without surprise, she saw the amazement on Xi Liemo's face!
The exquisite makeup and the beautiful face with palm beads are even more shockingly beautiful.The slightly squinted expression carried a trace of natural innocence and charm.

If one is not intoxicated with alcohol, everyone is intoxicated. He has only drank three or five cups, but it is less than one-tenth of his usual drinking capacity, yet he is already drunk.

Xi Liemo's bewildered and somewhat dazed expression fell into Zhangzhu's eyes, and it was also a special scenery.

This kind of Xi Liemo, under his full attire, is even more handsome and unparalleled, as if the aura of heaven and earth gathered in him.

Zhang Zhu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly looked away.

Under the management of the palace nanny, the two completed the last ceremony and drank the Hebei wine.

Then the two palace servants stepped forward and helped Xi Liemo and Zhang Zhu remove the heavy hair ornaments and outer shirts on their heads.

"Your Majesty, Queen, it's getting late, let's go to rest earlier!" Gong Nai smiled respectfully and saluted, ignoring the helpless look on her face, she led the palace people out of the new house.

Zhang Zhu, who was dressed in a bright red singlet, clenched his hands tightly, his palms were wet, and there was thin sweat oozing from his forehead.

Her heart was beating happily and quickly, as if it was about to leave her chest.

The sudden silence in the new room made her even more at a loss. She wanted to speak to break the deadlock, but she didn't know what to say.

"Queen, go to bed!"

Xi Liemo, who was originally sitting on the other side of the bed, came to her side at some point.

Zhang Zhu was shocked, and was about to stand up, but was grabbed by Xi Liemo.

Zhangzhu didn't struggle, she tried her best to pretend to be calm and self-possessed, looking directly into Xi Liemo's eyes.

"My lord, what Sun Palm Pearl said was true, please let me do it!"

Xi Liemo's eyes are very bright, and her pupils are like deep wells, reflecting her disheveled hair pretending to be strong.

"Queen, it is your responsibility as a member of the royal family to marry into Xiqiang as a princess! Similarly, it is also your responsibility to spread the branches and leaves for the Xiqiang royal family!"

Zhang Zhu's body froze instantly, and the man in front of him, no matter his expression or body posture, expressed that he could not refuse
"Your Majesty, Zhang Zhu's heart is not in you, why do you have to force me so hard?" As a last resort, Zhang Zhu spoke the truth.

Those words were like a knife, piercing straight into Xi Liemo's heart, causing his blood to freeze at that moment.

Xi Liemo's lowered face stopped, the tip of his nose was only an inch away from her, he could smell the fragrance of her body, but this fragrance refused his approach.

He stretched out a hand and gently pinched Zhang Zhu's chin.

"What the queen means is that if Du Feng is the one who is marrying you at this time, you will dedicate yourself without hesitation, right?"

From such an angle, Zhang Zhu couldn't see Xi Liemo's expression, but sensitively sensed that this man was like a wild beast, quietly waiting for the resistance of his disobedient prey, and then dealt him a fatal blow.

Du Feng?Zhang Zhu silently recited the name in her heart in a daze, and suddenly realized that she hadn't thought of him for a long time.

Now I heard it suddenly, except for the slight loss left in my heart, I can no longer find the feeling of unbearable heartache at the beginning.

To Xi Liemo, Zhang Zhu's distraction was tantamount to acquiescing.

The corners of his mouth curled up, and a cruel smile appeared, as if he was clapping his hands and saying to himself: "Queen, since I can get your man, I'm not afraid that I won't get your heart!"

His voice is soft, but his movements are heavy...

Tears finally filled Zhangzhu's beautiful phoenix eyes.

She opened her eyes wide and told herself that everything would pass soon, it was just a process.

But her natural pride made her unable to face such humiliation.

Zhang Zhu stared at the bright red veil above her head without blinking, imagining herself in a sea of ​​red flowers.

There was silence all around, she was sleeping among the flowers, the sun shone warmly on her body, and the breeze blew her hair and brushed her cheeks.

Zhang Zhu felt that her soul seemed to be floating in the air, and looked down at the soulless body on the bed indifferently...

-

Inside the palace of the princess.

It was rumored that the great concubine Gongsun Min, who had just suffered from an emergency, was out of breath as if she had an emergency, her chest felt tight, and her face was flushed red after the palace maid came back alone with a pale face. "What did my cousin say?"

Gongsun Min was round and cute since he was a child. He was very popular with the queens who had no daughters. He often went to and from the palace, and he knew Xi Liemo very well.

Therefore, he considers his identity to be different, except in public places, he always calls Xi Liemo cousin.

"Your Majesty said that you dare not neglect the new queen on the wedding night, and ask your servants to ask the imperial physician to feel the pulse of the concubine!" Bai Yi dared not tell her about Xi Liemo's indifferent expression and knowing that Gongsun Min was pretending to be sick, because her concubine His temper is not ordinary.

But even so, Gongsun Min was still so angry that he threw the pearl hairpin box forward without hesitation, and said angrily: "Cousin is too much!"

Bai Yi stood aside with his hands down, not daring to make a sound.

But he said in his heart: Princess, you have gone too far in this matter!Today is the day of great joy for the king and Princess Li, unless the sky falls on such a day, how can the king leave the new house?

If it was passed back to the Li country, the emperor of the Li country would be furious and send troops to attack Xiqiang, and then the lives would be ruined again.

Bai Yi thought of his younger brother in the Lian Family Army, and secretly sighed.

After Gongsun Min threw away the pearl hairpin, he was still unable to relieve his anger, and he tossed and tossed all the movable objects in the dormitory, throwing or tearing or pulling or biting.

After Bai Yi sighed, he felt a little lucky again.

Although the concubine has a big temper, fortunately she just likes to tossing those dead things, but she never beat them palace servants, which is considered a blessing among misfortunes.

After all, things were messed up, and they just spent some time rearranging them.

The hall was in a mess soon, Gongsun Min was so tired that he was out of breath, and finally stopped.

Bai Yi stepped forward and saluted, "Princess, tomorrow morning, after the queen worships her ancestors and accepts all officials' kneeling, you still have to pay her respects to the queen."

When this matter was mentioned, the fire in Gongsun Min's heart flared up again.

She originally thought that with the friendship between her and Xi Liemo, Xi Liemo would definitely break the tradition that the three major families were not connected and make her the queen.

Unexpectedly, after entering the palace, her cousin, who had always loved her so much, suddenly became indifferent and polite, not even willing to touch her.

She thought it was because of the passing away of the first queen and the first great king that his temperament changed drastically, so she kept understanding about the fact that he brought her into the harem but did not consummate the marriage with her.

However, at the beginning of this year, after Xi Liemo came back from Li Country, he suddenly announced that he had married Li Country, and at the end of the year, Princess Li would marry Xi Qiang as the queen.

After that, no matter how much Gongsun Min cried or made noises, it couldn't change the fact that it was a foregone conclusion.

Gongsun Min was born in the Gongsun family, the No. [-] nobleman in Xiqiang. She is not a brainless beauty. On the contrary, she is a very smart woman. Otherwise, she would not be loved by the previous queens, who would love her like a daughter.

However, love blinds people, and Gongsun Min is such a woman. She is the same age as Zhang Zhu, and six years younger than Xi Liemo. When she was 11 years old, she put her girlish thoughts on her unparalleled cousin Xi Lie After Mo was on her body, her IQ began to decline.

And when Xi Liemo didn't respond to her affection, Gongsun Min became more arrogant and arrogant because of his inner anxiety.

But as Bai Yi said, so far, she will only vent her anger and anxiety on objects, not on people for the time being.

No matter how angry Gongsun Min is, it can't change the fact that Xi Liemo and Princess Li have consummated their marriage.

After she was extremely angry, she thought of the bright side again.

Cousin did not consummate the marriage with her before, perhaps out of respect for Li Guo, now that the princess has married, then in the future, Gongsun Min will definitely make her a veritable princess.

As long as the marriage is consummated, she will have the opportunity to be the first to give birth to the prince for her cousin.

Gongsun Min's expression became more and more gentle as he thought of Wang'er, who would be born exactly the same as Xi Liemo in the future.

She reached out and stroked her upper abdomen gently, as if she was really pregnant with a child at this time.
