Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

As soon as the news of King Zhao's death from poison spread, it shocked the government and the public.

None of the civil and military officials expected that the god Zhao Wang would die just like that.

Some people still couldn't believe it, and specially sent people to find out if the news was true or not.

Finally got a definite affirmative answer.

King Zhao is really dead, not a rumor.

Those who had enmity with King Zhao all secretly rejoiced in their hearts, the scourge of King Zhao can be regarded as dead.

But there are also some people who are panicked by this, such as Bian Ziming, the leader of the Tiger Roaring Battalion.

He originally planned to take refuge under the command of King Zhao, and take advantage of King Zhao's influence to rise up step by step.

Unexpectedly, King Zhao died in a blink of an eye.

Where should he go from now on?

The emperor had no intention of going to court because he was too sad.

He not only wanted to open a mourning hall for Li Ji in the palace, but also planned to bury Li Ji in the imperial tomb.

This move aroused strong dissatisfaction from the queen.

"Your Majesty, no matter how much you love King Zhao, he is just a courtier and not a member of the royal family. How can you bury him in the imperial mausoleum? This is against the ancestral system. Your Majesty, please think twice!"

The emperor's eye sockets were bloodshot, and his voice was a little hoarse.

"You know in your heart that Ji'er is my child. I failed to give him the treatment he deserved before he was alive. Now that he is dead, I have to let him recognize his ancestors."

The queen became more and more excited when she heard the words "recognize the ancestors and return to the clan".

"Do you still want to write Li Ji's name in the royal family tree?!"

The emperor did not deny it.

This is basically the default.

The queen snapped: "I don't agree!"

The emperor rubbed his forehead: "Ji'er is already dead, why do you still worry about the past?"

The queen laughed angrily: "Aren't I thinking about your majesty's reputation? Once Li Ji's life experience is exposed, your reputation will be ruined."

The emperor remembered what happened back then, and immediately stopped talking.

Not only the empress objected, but even the empress dowager and Princess Ningyang strongly opposed it.

As the saying goes, family ugliness cannot be publicized.

Whatever they say, they have to tightly cover up the events of the year, and they must not leak them out.

Under the pressure of many parties, the emperor finally gave up the idea of ​​letting Li Ji recognize his ancestor and return to his clan.

For this, he felt more and more guilty.

He felt that he owed Li Ji a lot.

He wanted to compensate Li Ji in other ways, and remembering Li Ji's last wish, he decided to hold a wedding for Li Ji and Hua Manman.

Since Li Ji likes Hua Manman so much, let Hua Manman marry him as his concubine.

This can be regarded as fulfilling his last wish.

This time the queen did not come forward to stop her.

Princess Ningyang even agreed with this.

She didn't want her grandson to die without a concubine. If he could marry a concubine before his burial, he would feel much more at ease when he went underground.

When Hua Manman heard the news, he was in a bad mood.

After all, she is also a modern person who has traveled from the 21st century, and she really can't accept this kind of feudal customs.

However, the emperor's golden words and decree had been made, and Hua Manman had absolutely no right to refuse.

The embroiderers in the palace were so powerful that they made a special wedding dress for her overnight.

Hua Manman was forced to put on a dress, and was pressed in front of the vanity mirror to do makeup for a long time.

However, no matter how many good things she hears, Hua Manman can't be happy.

She always had a mournful face, pursed her lips and said nothing.

Wait until the sun goes down and it gets dark.

Hua Manman was sent to the mourning hall.

Looking around, the mourning hall is completely white.

The last person chosen was the fourth prince Li Ying.

The sixth prince Li Yi was originally chosen, but because he was too young, Concubine Shu worried that he would be scared, so she cried and begged the emperor to choose someone else.

The mother and concubine of the second prince and the fifth prince were afraid that their son would be selected, so they all tried to evade it.

In the end, this job fell on Li Ying, the fourth prince who was least favored.

There is no way, who made him have no love from his father or mother?

Li Ying stood beside Hua Manman.

Hua Manman held a gold-and-red fan in his hand, the fan covered half of his face, only revealing a pair of beautiful eyes.

At this time, she looked down at the hem of the skirt, and her long eyelashes drooped down, making it hard to see the emotion in her eyes.

Li Ying still wanted to go back and continue reading, and he didn't want to waste too much time here, so he didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.

He does what others tell him to do, and he is indifferent throughout the whole process.

Hua Manman didn't even bother to greet him.

The two sides first worshiped the heaven and the earth, then the emperor, and finally the husband and wife worshiped each other.

After the three prayers, Li Ying stepped forward and took the cooling fan from Hua Manman's hand.

Li Ying had seen Hua Manman before, and knew what she looked like, but at this moment, she couldn't help being a little surprised by her appearance.

There is a small and delicate red peony flower dotted between her eyebrows, her skin is as white as snow, and her red lips are delicate and charming.

The already beautiful eyebrows and eyes have become more radiant and breathtaking after being carefully drawn.

Just looking at her, Li Ying felt his heart flutter.

He looked away uncomfortably from her.

Hua Manman pursed her lips slightly, feeling secretly, she never thought that after living two lifetimes, she finally married a dead person.

Fortunately, there was no custom of burial in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Otherwise she would really cry to death.

Not many people came to watch the ceremony. Apart from the Queen Mother and Princess Ningyang, there were also some concubines, including Hua Qingqing.

She watched her second younger sister marry at the church, and felt very uncomfortable.

Her second sister is so good, she should find a good person.

How could it end like this?

God is really unfair.

After the ceremony was completed, Li Ying put the spirit tablet back on the incense table.

He left the mourning hall with the others.

Hua Qingqing didn't want to leave, she was worried that her second sister would be scared and wanted to stay with her.

But the emperor's intention is very clear, no one can disturb Hua Manman and Li Ji's "bridal chamber wedding night".

Hua Qingqing couldn't disobey her will, she could only look back at every step, and reluctantly walked out.

Because of her distraction, she accidentally bumped into the Fourth Prince Li Ying when she stepped out of the threshold.

Even the purse hanging from her waist accidentally fell to the ground.

After she stood still, she hurriedly apologized to the Fourth Prince.

Li Ying patted the place where he was knocked down, without saying anything, with an indifferent expression on his face, ready to leave directly.

However, from the corner of his eye, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a small purse lying on the ground.

The purse was pale pink, different from the purse he had kept for many years, but it was also embroidered with a few fat, white glutinous rice balls.

Looking at the style of the embroidery, it was obvious that it was embroidered by one person.

Li Ying thought of a certain possibility.

His pupils shrank slightly, and his heartbeat also accelerated.

A strong expectation welled up in my heart.

He stopped, bent down quickly, and reached out to pick up the purse.
