Chapter 1985 Bridal Chamber
Everyone was waiting for Princess Wu's explanation, but Princess Wu didn't even raise her head, she just smiled and said: "My Royal Highness has always been simple, there are no luxurious things in the palace, how can you get rid of some shabby things? All the property in the mansion has been sealed up and shipped to Silla. After all, it is not yet clear what the situation will be like after arriving there for the first time. You know, money always opens the way, so there is no money in the house. Even for today's congratulations, I borrowed some from the prince. However, my highness said that friendship is more important than money and kindness. , the lineage of the King of Wu, will always be remembered in my heart, and I am willing to be married for the rest of my life. ”
The hall became increasingly quiet, and you could hear a needle drop.
Princess Wei Yan opened her mouth, but finally sighed quietly, looking a little lonely.
The words of Princess Wu revealed that it was a foregone conclusion that King Wu would go to Silla. From then on, the sea was wide enough for fish to leap and the sky was high for birds to fly. Although Silla was bitter, cold and barren, but the mountains were high and the emperor was far away, he became the king of Silla and screened the feudal lord. In the Northeast, a new country was established and passed on by descendants.
In the past, the King of Wei and the King of Wu fought frequently and refused to give in to each other, but now the King of Wei is still nestled in Chang'an, and there is no hope of becoming the crown prince. However, the King of Wu has jumped out of this circle. With his ability, he naturally went to Silla to flex his muscles. , a life-long ambition can be realized.
What else is there to fight for?
The situation is still completely different. If you continue to argue like this, you are just humiliating yourself...
Especially the last sentence of Princess Wu, what does it mean to be "willing to be married for the rest of my life"?
From then on, the lineage of King Wu of Silla was married to the Fang family for generations. The children of the Fang family were either the princesses of Silla or the princes-in-law of Silla. In addition, Fang Jun was destined to ascend the throne after the crown prince ascended the throne. The clan will soon reach its peak of glory...
This promise is tens of millions of times more valuable than the most precious treasure in the world!
Princess Wei was in a daze.
Now that King Wu has become the King of Silla, where will His Highness go?
Should he stay in Chang'an and be a wealthy and idle king, or should he break out of this circle and fight hard like King Wu?
You know, even if the King of Silla becomes the king of Wu, there may be King Linyi, King Annan, or even the King of Goguryeo, the King of Japan, the King of the Western Regions...
The female relatives in the hall looked at Princess Wu with envy and congratulated her one after another.
In fact, except for people like King Jing Li Yuanjing who have ulterior motives and ulterior motives, who among the children of the royal family would not want to seize the vassal and seal the country? Staying in Chang'an, no matter how noble he is, he is just an idle prince, but in the feudal world, even if it is just a poor mountain ravine, he is still a king...
Princess Wu smiled lightly and thanked everyone in return.
After chatting and joking for a while, it was getting late, and all the guests got up and left one after another.
How dare Mr. Lu dare to neglect? He personally led Princess Han, Princess Gaoyang, and Wu Meiniang to see off the guests at the door.

After seeing off a group of ladies and returning to the back house, they happened to see Fang Jun staggering back to the back house with the support of Li Siwen and Zhang Daan.
"Is the banquet in front of us over?" Princess Han asked, raising her eyebrows.
Zhang Daan replied respectfully: "Yes."
Seeing Fang Jun's drunken state, Princess Han became angry and shouted: "What's wrong with you guys? Normally Su Hu is a gangster, but now he allows Erlang to be drunk and made like this?"
Li Siwen looked helpless and defended: "Princess, please don't accuse me unjustly! It's not that we don't hold back the wine for Erlang, we really can't even get to the wine table!"
Qu Tuquan, who was following behind, also said: "Who can say otherwise? Shangshu Zuopushe, Zhongshu Ling, Shi Zhong, Yu Shi Zhongcheng, the Prince of Hejian County, the Prince of Jiangxia County... we are only qualified to stand in the corner. I’m so excited for Erlang, how can I dare to go up and stop him from drinking?”
Princess Han was relieved, but her mouth remained unforgiving: "Humph. Just say one thing, but nothing will be achieved by doing it. They are a bunch of losers!"
The boys looked depressed, but they were speechless.
Who said they were incompetent? If everyone is like Fang Jun, with a prosperous official position and a high position, he can still stand at the wine table today...
If it were the past, it would be fine. Everyone, the eldest brother let alone the second brother, are all playboys and losers, but the second brother is now like a boss, and the eldest son Huan is also sitting there like a dog, which is exciting. .
It's better to make progress in life, otherwise you won't even be qualified to drink, which is a bit embarrassing.
Wu Meiniang asked: "Go quickly and make a bowl of sobering soup for Erlang. If you are so drunk, don't you have to leave the newlyweds aside?"
Even if a maid took the order and left.
Princess Gao Yang curled her lips and hummed: "So what about the hangover soup? Everyone gets drunk even if they are not drunk, and they will still be drunk later... Oops!"
Princess Han lightly hit her under the arm and said angrily: "Now, why are you so jealous? You are a princess, a wealthy lady, so you should never let such jealousy spread out and make others laugh. , is not a woman’s way.”
There is a saying in the Han Dynasty's Book of Dadaili·Benming: "A woman has seven things to do: disobey her parents, have no children, go with adultery, go with jealousy, go with bad diseases, go with talking too much, go with stealing.
This is the restriction and sanction imposed on women by the feudal dynasty. This has nothing to do with the Neo-Confucianism of later generations, but is the code of conduct and ethics that have existed since ancient times.
"Jealousy" is one of the seven sins.
Although the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was open and a princess could not be divorced just because of "jealousy", it still violated universal values. Not to mention making men all over the world laugh at her, even if they were both women, she would not necessarily be divorced. I will sympathize with such a woman...
Princess Gao Yang was startled, hugged Princess Han's arm, spat out her sweet tongue, and said with a smile: "It's just gossip, aunt, please don't take it seriously."
King Han Li Yuanjia is now Zong Zhengqing, who is in charge of the etiquette and rules of the royal family. If Princess Han goes back and tells King Han these words, King Han will be able to expose her in front of her father and let him punish her...< br>
That would be tragic.
Princess Han doted on her forehead and said angrily: "You! You are a big boss, but why are you always so willful? In this regard, you must learn from Mei Niang!"
Wu Meiniang on the side smiled lightly.
Princess Gao Yang snorted and said dissatisfiedly: "I can't learn from this. This girl has a lot of thoughts. She can know everything you think in your mind. She can trick people to death without compromising their lives. I can't learn from it. I can't learn from it!"
Wu Meiniang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
If you are so careless and only rely on the name of a princess to dominate others, your family has such a huge property and thousands of slaves, why will it be eaten up by others sooner or later?
Come on, you are the princess's life, let's just endure hardship and worry...
He and his maid helped Fang Jun into the new house, followed by Princess Han and Princess Gaoyang. As for Li Siwen and others, they all left. It's not that she doesn't want to have a wedding, it's just that the identity of this daughter of the Xiao family is too sensitive. She is not only the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family of Lanling, but also a bloodline of the Nanliang Dynasty. In addition, Princess Han stood at the door with a phoenix eye, a pretty face. Damn it, a stick hurts a friend and he has to leave in anger.
It seems that when Fang Jun got married to Princess Gaoyang, no one dared to go to the wedding ceremony. They all heard that His Highness was arrogant. If he got angry and fell out, wouldn't it be a big disgrace?
Now we have another girl from the Xiao family...
Everyone doesn't know whether to be envious or gloating about his misfortune.
……
In the new house, the red candles are burning, the brocade quilt is tasseled, and it is as warm as spring.
Xiao Shuer was sitting on the edge of the kang, wearing a phoenix crown and hijab on her head. She was wearing a bright red auspicious dress with dragons and embroidered phoenixes tightly wrapped around her slender body. She felt the hot kang under her body, and the room seemed to be on fire. Earth Dragon, the heat wave was rolling, making her sweat slightly, and she couldn't even breathe smoothly.
The maid on the side saw the lady moving constantly and asked softly: "Miss, are you thirsty? I will bring you some water to drink."
Xiao Shuer shook her head gently, her red hijab rippled slightly, and said softly: "No need, just bear with it."
She lost her parents when she was young, but she has never neglected the etiquette of women. Her temperament is quiet and respectful, and she is most observant of etiquette. Even though there are only two maids in the bridal chamber, no matter what she does, no one else can know. But he refused to be disrespectful in the slightest.
Observing etiquette means following one's own heart, not showing it to others...
"Oh..." the maid responded. She had nothing to do anyway, so she sat next to Xiao Shu'er, took her arm, and asked softly: "They all said that my uncle is a stick man, has a bad temper, and often leads troops outside. , who kills people without blinking an eye, could he be a man with a height of ten feet and a leopard head and ringed eyes? "
The little maid was quite worried.
Although Xiao Rui, the eldest son of the family, once talked about Fang Jun's appearance, are "slightly dark complexion" and "strong and strong" good words? Presumably, she was afraid that the young lady would be estranged and unwilling to commit herself to getting married, so she said it at best... But if this was said at best, then the appearance of this young man... it would probably be better not to say it.
I can't help but feel angry in my heart. Our young lady is the most beautiful woman in the south of the Yangtze River. Even the Nine Heavens Xuannv descended to the mortal world, she must be nothing more than this. But now she has to commit herself to such a rough and reckless man. God really has no eyesight...
