After Li Xian left, Empress Wu led Zhao Yinyue to her palace on the pretext that she had something private to say to her daughter-in-law.
"Did you have any sexual intercourse as husband and wife last night?" Empress Wu didn't show any restraint and asked straight to the point, her face looking a little gloomy.
"Yes, yes..." Zhao Yinyue's eyes were a little dodgeful and she said softly.
"Huh? Is it true? Tell the truth." Empress Wu felt even more that there was some inaccuracy in what the other party said, so she asked in a more serious tone.
After hearing this question, Zhao Yinyue felt a little sad in her heart, because she really felt aggrieved. She really wished she could tell Empress Wu everything that happened last night, but she knew the consequences of doing so. This would only
This pushed the relationship between her and Li Xian into an even more estranged abyss.
"It is true." At this time, Zhao Yinyue could only grit her teeth and continue to lie to the end.
"Then why are you crying like this? Don't tell me that it's really because you miss your parents. Hum, filial piety will certainly exist, but on the big day, the husband and wife work together, and the love between husband and concubine is the sweetest part.
At that time, it was too late to be happy, so how could I have the time to miss my parents? What’s more, as a husband, how could Xianer sit back and watch you do this? "
"I reported back to the Queen of Heaven, but I lied. However, I didn't mean to do it. I was actually ashamed to speak out in front of His Majesty. The truth is that the king of Zhou was too majestic and I couldn't bear the pain, so I
She shed tears, and ended up crying for too long, which led to this embarrassing image." Since Zhao Yinyue wanted to continue telling the lie, she could only make up a more suitable reason. In fact, she had thought of this long before she came to see Empress Wu, but she had always thought of it.
I'm thinking about whether to say it or not, because sometimes I think about it, why do I have to suffer so much? Just tell the truth, even if Li Xian doesn't want him, he won't be a widow like now, but since I saw that man last night
At first glance, she didn't know why she was unwilling to let go of this person. Although he was ruthless and unjust, she just couldn't bear to let him go.
"Oh, maybe this is my fate." Zhao Yinyue suppressed the grief in her heart and decided to weave this lie no matter what. Although the other party didn't know it, she was willing to endure such pain for him.
"I see. Xian'er has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He is as strong as an ox. It's natural that you can't bear it. But this guy really needs a beating. He was so crazy on the first night of the wedding and didn't care about his woman at all... Haha
, Okay, that's it for today. I guess Xian'er is still waiting for you outside the palace. Newlyweds, when they do things, they are always in love with each other, and they are inexhaustible. This relationship is even more inseparable. Can you?
Don't keep him waiting too long, otherwise he will blame me, an old woman, for being indifferent."
"With that, I will take my leave." Zhao Yinyue bowed deeply to Empress Wu and prepared to leave.
But I heard Empress Wu suddenly say: "By the way, since you are Xian's daughter-in-law, you have to take on the responsibility of disciplining him for me. This child is just like your father said, like a horse without a leader."
, he is used to being wild, you have to pay close attention to everything he does, no matter how big or small, you must have an idea, and report back to me regularly in the future. Your mother will also help you with advice on how to discipline him. If you do well,
The queen mother will not only ensure that your status as a princess is as stable as Mount Tai, but also ensure that your parents will follow suit, especially your father, who will be promoted one after another. However, if you lose your due responsibilities as a wife, don’t blame the queen mother for being premature.
Warning you, not only will it be difficult to preserve your own status, but your parents will also be affected. Which is more serious or less important, you have to think carefully about it."
After Zhao Yinyue heard what Empress Wu said, her delicate body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and she said respectfully: "I have remembered it, please rest assured, I will do my best not to disappoint my mother."
Even after saying this, Zhao Yinyue, who walked out of Empress Wu's palace, was still full of bitterness. It wasn't that she didn't hear clearly what Empress Wu said just now. It meant that she should monitor Li Xian well and report everything to Empress Wu no matter how big or small it was.
Report, if she does it well, her princess will do it, and her father will be promoted accordingly. But if she doesn't do it well, which means she can't do her best for Empress Wu, then she will end up very miserable, ranging from being killed to death.
If the title of princess is removed, in severe cases, it may be difficult to save her life, and her parents will also be unlucky. At the least, their official title will be reduced, and at worst, their lives will not be saved.
"No wonder King Zhou, my husband would treat me like this. I'm afraid he already knew the queen's plan from the beginning. He hated me for spying on him, so he used this method to alienate me so that I wouldn't worry about it.
Pay attention to the big and small things around him, but fortunately I had an idea and failed to tell the truth, otherwise he would definitely be jealous of his mother. Alas, in fact, King Zhou is quite pitiful. He is just for
The country has won several battles and made immortal achievements, and then it was so jealous. The saying that great achievements shocked the master turned out to be not only against the generals in the court, but also the prince. But what should I do in the future?
To do? To be a virtuous wife, or to be a filial daughter-in-law? When I was studying, I saw someone in a book who couldn't do both, and I didn't think so at the time. At least this kind of thing wouldn't happen to me, a little girl.
But I didn’t expect that things would just happen to happen, causing me to encounter such trouble.”
When Zhao Yinyue walked out of the Empress Wu Palace, she saw Li Xian waiting there. She walked forward quickly. The two of them were silent all the way. As soon as they entered the inner room, they heard Li Xian ask: "The Empress told you
What? Are you still asking about your red and swollen eyes?"
Zhao Yinyue was surprised when she heard this and asked: "How do you know?"
But Li Xian chuckled and said: "This matter is very simple. How could a woman whose eyes were red and swollen like that on her wedding night miss her parents? My father may not understand the reason, but my mother will definitely understand.
of."
Zhao Yinyue sighed in her heart when she heard this, and said secretly with self-deprecation: "I didn't expect that my husband would be so shrewd. No wonder my mother would be so afraid of him. But should I be happy or unhappy now? Alas, my husband
Lang is so shrewd that even the most powerful people in the dynasty are afraid. I don't know whether I should be happy or not. I guess there are not many women in the world who will be as lucky as me..."
At this time, I heard Li Xian ask again: "How did you become the queen mother?"
Zhao Yinyue's face turned red when she heard this, and she said coyly: "I, I said it was because you were too majestic. I, I couldn't bear the continuous pain, so I shed tears for a long time, which made my eyes red.
That way.”
"I see, this is really difficult for you. I'm really sorry. It's not that I don't like you. It's just that I have another hidden illness now. I can't perform the rituals of husband and wife in this short period of time. Please forgive me, madam, and take care of yourself.
After that, Xiao Wang will definitely make amends." After listening to Zhao Yinyue's words, Li Xian felt a big stone in his heart finally fall to the ground. He was not really afraid of Empress Wu, but he still didn't want to cause so much trouble, so he stayed alone with Empress Wu.
After getting rid of Zhao Yinyue, I still felt a little worried. Now I saw Zhao Yinyue suppressing the grief in her heart and trying to excuse herself. She couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, so she told some lies and made a reasonable explanation for what happened last night.
explain.
And this is of course not the whole reason why he speaks so softly. Another reason is that he actually did not fall asleep while doing his homework, and his ears are very bright, so even though the other person covered his head with the quilt and lowered his voice and sobbed, he could still hear it.
Clearly, this made him feel a little more guilty. It was precisely because of the above reasons that he softly explained to Zhao Yinyue.
But Zhao Yinyue understood everything at this time, but she was unwilling to tell them. She just showed a look of sudden realization, then nodded and said: "I hope my husband's hidden illness will get better soon, father, father."
I’m still waiting to hold my grandson.”
When Zhao Yinyue said these words, she could be said to be extremely shy. Even Li Xian could hardly help but touch the other person's face.
Because of his identity, he finally managed to hold it back.
"I didn't have any rest last night. You'd better catch up on some sleep first. I'll go to the study so as not to disturb you. Haha, I forgot to mention that I snore very loudly. Don't mind if I fall asleep in the future."
After Li Xian finished speaking, he smiled at Zhao Yinyue and then left, leaving only Zhao Yinyue who looked at a loss.
Three days later, the imperial court officially issued a decree, canonizing Li Xian's wife Zhao Yinyue as the princess, his mother Princess Changle was granted the title of 300 households in the city, his father Prince Consort, and General Zuo Qianniu Zhao Gui were conferred the title of Princess Zuo Qianniu.
General, Zhao Yinyue's parents were honored and favored because of him, and everyone was immediately envious of them.
Of course, some of them will be unhappy. One of them is a young girl with gorgeous clothes and stunning appearance. She looks like she is only about twenty years old, but there is a trace of anger on her face. This person comes quietly
When he went outside the palace, he found a young palace maid through his connections, and then said to her: "Tuan'er, for the sake of the two of us getting to know each other, I beg you to do me a favor and find a way to marry Princess Zhao of Zhou."
As long as you do this thing for me, from now on I will return your deed of sale to you, and no one in this world will know the fact that you are not a member of my Jingzhao Wei clan.
"
The girl named Tuan'er looked like a fairy. Now that she was threatened by the girl, there was a trace of hesitation on her face, but she finally gritted her teeth and said: "Okay, Miss Xiang'er, this is our last deal.
I hope you will give me the deed of betrayal by then, otherwise you should know that as long as I am here, I will not allow you to become the Princess of Zhou. At worst, we will be dead and no one will benefit." (To be continued.
