The Way of the Consort

"Why send it back as it is?"

"Oh, Your Highness doesn't want to use..."

"What should I do? The auspicious time is approaching, and I just heard from the elder sister in front that Ji's Sanlang's car has already left the Ji Mansion and will arrive at the Princess Mansion from time to time."

The maid with the food box in her hand glanced left and right, leaned close to her ear, and said softly: "The princess doesn't want to marry Saburo Ji, and she's still lying on the couch and doesn't want to wake up. I'm afraid she's pretending to be asleep. The sisters are in a hurry."

Although it has been guessed for a long time, the princess has been depressed since she was given the marriage, and it is not up to them little maids to talk about such things, but it is a big matter after all, and there is no one around, so the man was very surprised when he heard this. , and then asked softly: "Why is this? His Royal Highness is the consort chosen by His Majesty for the princess. His Majesty bestowed the marriage, and the Ji family is also a famous family for generations... Could it be that Saburo of the Ji family was born too ugly?"

Their princess loves to be pretty.

But the little maid obviously didn't know such a profound question, and the other party couldn't answer it either.

Princess Fuchen, Zong Yan, looked at the two muttering little maids in the corner of the princess mansion in puzzlement.

She was very puzzled, why?

Isn't she dead?

She was stabbed to death by Ji Zhao, and her face was scratched before she was stabbed to death. The wound was not deep when she was stabbed, but Ji Zhao stabbed her many times. He slashed countless knives on his face, and put the bronze mirror in front of her, telling her to watch her crippled face, bleeding to death little by little.

Thinking of this, Zong Li's head began to tingle again, and she backed away in fear, no, no, she should not think about these things again.

After she stepped back, she found that she was floating in the sky!

She turned around in shock and saw that the house was full of red silk, and several maids came running from a distance, and hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up, hurry up! Your Highness doesn't like to see these things!"

Her head hurt even more, and she vaguely remembered, more than ten years ago, her wedding day.She didn't want to marry Ji Zhao, she had never met her before, she had a favorite man, but the emperor said that he was not good enough for her, and expelled him. But it is the most enduring big family in this land, and even has the blood of the gods.

Brother Huang even said that Saburo of the Ji family is well-known, he is the best-born gentleman in this generation of Ji family, even in Jinling, and he has the softest temper, so she is the most suitable to be her son-in-law.To be the consort of a princess, ability and talent are not the most important, but appearance and temperament are the most important.

After all, she still married Ji Zhao.

She hated Ji Zhao extremely, because of Ji Zhao, she lost her beloved, and her beloved was kicked out of Jinling and left her completely.

Regardless of whether the princess is a king, she is a woman after all. It is a marriage. On the day of the big wedding, she should have left the main gate of the palace, and was greeted by the son-in-law to the other party's mansion, and married in Ji's mansion.She refused, she didn't want to go to Ji's house at all.In order to allow her to marry Ji Zhao smoothly, her father and brother even violated the law of their ancestors and let her marry Ji Zhao in the princess mansion.

At the moment of dying, she thought, did Ji Zhao hate her since then?

Everyone said that Ji Zhao was good-natured and good-looking, but she hadn't seen Ji Zhao for more than ten years, and they didn't even get married.She didn't see Ji Zhao for the first time until she died, and she didn't know that Ji Zhao's appearance was really good, even better than her. As for his temper?

At that time, Ji Zhao had already ascended the throne.

At the moment when her blood was about to run out, Ji Zhaoyan laughed at Yan Yan and told her that he had dug up the royal tombs of her father and mother, his brother had been stabbed to death with a sword, and the Zong clan had died. Now she was the only one left, and even her beloved was found and killed by him. Ji Zhao said that he was grateful to the Zong clan for treating him like this, allowing him, Ji Zhao, to own this country.

woohoo-

Zong Yan's tears fell in strings, she regretted it, she just died, what's wrong with father, mother, queen and elder brother?What's wrong with the Zong family?

She is ashamed of her ancestors.

She still didn't know what was going on in front of her eyes, she was already dead?

How could she hear them talking?She even saw her personal maid, Lv Song, anxiously directing people to tear off those red silks that were an eyesore.She remembered, she ordered someone to pull it off, she hated those red silks that were an eyesore, and she hated marrying Ji Zhao.She couldn't tell whether it was reality or fantasy, she just rushed forward, trying to stop those people.

stop talking!Don't provoke Ji Zhao again!

Ji Zhao is a devil!

Ji Zhao will destroy her Zong clan!

However, her hands passed through the body of the green pine, no one saw her, no one heard her.

Zong Yan was sad and desperate.

Suddenly a heavy bell sounded from a distant temple, Zong Zhen's body stopped, and the next moment, Zong Zhen woke up leisurely in the main courtyard of the Princess Mansion, in Princess Fuchen's bedroom.

"The princess is awake!" Qing Jin was overjoyed, bent down, worried and worried, and said anxiously, "His Royal Highness, there is an announcement from outside the door that Ji Jiasanlang is going to the princess mansion, look..."

Zong Yan blinked, raised his arms to look at her sleeves, the red wedding dress.

Is this a dream, or is it real?

Qing Jin still whispered: "Princess, Lv Song is going to tear the red silk, but the servant girl thinks that she can't tear it all up. His Royal Highness sent Liang Di over and is waiting to see His Highness. Seeing what's going on in the mansion, what is going on?" No, it’s a happy day after all... What do you think? His Royal Highness misses you so much..."

Brother Huang's health is not good, the imperial doctor said that he should cultivate his body and mind, and he has not yet married the crown princess, but because there are many things in the East Palace, his father brought a Liangdi in for him to help him take care of the affairs of the East Palace.When Qing Jin mentioned the emperor's brother, Zong's eyes became hotter, his father was worried about her, and the emperor's face was cold and his heart was warm, and he took care of her everywhere.She is their only daughter and younger sister, she should have trusted them, they chose Ji Zhao as her son-in-law, it must be because Ji Zhao is really good.

It's her fault, more than ten years of humiliation forced Ji Zhao into such a devil.

Everyone in the city knows that Ji Zhao has been married to Princess Fuchen for more than ten years, yet she has never even seen her face. Passing Ji Zhao just to prevent Ji Zhao from appearing in front of him is a great insult.

It was she who harmed her father, brother, and the Zong clan.

Zong Yan stretched out his hand to Qing Jin, this time, the hand did not go through the body again, this is real.

She supported Qingjin's hand to sit up slowly, and said softly: "Put back all the red silk, please come here."

Qing Jin was very pleasantly surprised, so surprised that she forgot to speak for a moment, Zong Yan glanced at her, and she couldn't help but bless her, and turned around to get busy immediately.

Lan Tian and Ziyu came up to help her recomb her hair and arrange her clothes. Ziyu persuaded in a slow voice: "Princess, if you are impatient with Ji Zhao, ask him to meet at the door and let him go back to the house." That's right. You are the king and he is the minister, so why bother to make yourself unhappy for such a thing?"

She knew that the maids were afraid that she would be unhappy, and she was used to pampering her.

In the previous life, not to mention the ceremony at the door, Ji Zhao couldn't even enter the door of the princess mansion, and was ridiculed by countless people on the big day.

Zong Yan secretly sighed, how could it be her turn to choose at this time?She asked a few questions about the affairs of the palace, knew that her father and brother were well, and even sent the eunuchs over fifteen minutes ago, she felt a surge of warmth in her heart, there was nothing better than this.

There was already a loud sound of firecrackers and firecrackers in the mansion, and people kept coming to report: Ji Jiasanlang has arrived at the door!

Saburo Jijia came in!

Ji Jiasaburo has passed the second gate!

Saburo Jijia came to the main courtyard!

Zong Li said again: "Call him "son-in-law". "

Everyone in the room was stunned for a while, but their faces were filled with joy at the same time, did the princess finally see it!

The son-in-law was bestowed by His Majesty and praised by the Crown Prince himself. Everyone hoped that the Princess would have a good relationship with him for a hundred years.

Zong Yan smiled wryly in his heart, last life, was that her last life?

She never even gave Ji Zhao the title of "son-in-law", how could Ji Zhao not hate her?

The Crown Prince Liangdi Zhou had been with her in the room all this time, she seemed to be very surprised when she heard this, and glanced at her, Zong Yi happened to be looking at her too.She immediately looked away, got up and saluted respectfully: "Princess, the concubine has arrived, I will go back to the palace and tell His Highness that everything is fine, so that His Highness can rest assured."

Zong Yan said softly: "Go, tell brother, don't worry about me."

Zhou Liangdi thought in her heart, it's really strange that the most arrogant Princess Fuchen can still say such things to her overnight!

She nodded naturally, but Zong Yan said again: "Lan Tian, ​​go see Liangdi off."

Zhou Liangdi almost didn't trip over her, she was flattered and saluted again, and then followed in a daze.In front of Princess Fuchen, which card is she on?The princess was doted on by His Majesty and the prince, and they quarreled with the prince whenever they wanted to. The prince had nothing to do with this younger sister. The princess had never seen her before. This time, she even sent her personal maid to send her out of the mansion!Lan Tian sent her out of the mansion. In the veranda, she happened to pass by the Ji family's wedding procession, only a little distance away.

Zhou Liangdi couldn't help but look around curiously, and saw Ji Jiasanlang at the front.

Her footsteps couldn't help being stagnant. When Lan Tian looked at her, she smiled nonchalantly, and continued to walk out.

After leaving the gate of the Princess Mansion, Zhou Liangdi got on the carriage and went back to the palace, then looked back at the bustling Princess Mansion.

As expected of the "good looks" praised by their princes, she was almost dazzled by it.She smiled secretly and got into the carriage. The princess must be happy to see her son-in-law look so good-looking, right?

In the main courtyard, Ji Zhao knelt down with Zong Yan, who was wearing a hijab, to receive His Majesty's imperial decree, which was nothing more than wishing them to be united forever, and officials from the Ministry of Rites and Zongzheng Temple's relatives led them to worship the heaven and the earth.

When the princess gets married, there is no one who makes wine and bridal chambers.

After the cumbersome etiquette, it was already dark and everyone dispersed. When they returned to the dormitory, the red candles were already shining brightly.

Zong You's four personal maids came out of the palace with her, they were all big court ladies before, all of them were capable, but at this moment they all swallowed nervously.The princess has always been dissatisfied with her son-in-law, and has resisted the marriage for more than a month. Even the wedding ceremony has been changed to this way, but just now it went so smoothly. Finally, at this moment, they are afraid that something will happen at this juncture.

They stood in a row and quietly looked at Ji Zhao, feeling certain in their hearts.

Knowing that the son-in-law is good-looking, after all, it was His Royal Highness who said it himself. It is not easy for His Royal Highness to say that it is so good, but he did not expect it to be so good!

It's better than the one the princess likes, the princess must like it!

The aunt in the palace sang the lyrics, and finally it was time for the son-in-law to take off the hijab.

Zong Yan was nervous, but not nervous.

Nervous with the shadow of her previous life, she was naturally afraid of Ji Zhao, and it was Ji Zhao who killed her and tortured her to death.

She was not nervous because she believed that her father and brother, the people they identified must be of high character.As long as she treats the son-in-law kindly in this life and treats her with kindness, the son-in-law will also treat her and her family kindly in the future.

Zong Yan took a deep breath, the hijab was lifted, and she saw the light again.

She looked up, and Ji Zhao smiled slightly at her.

Even if he didn't have any affection, Zong Yan was inevitably taken aback.

So, more than ten years ago, 16-year-old Ji Zhao was like this?

Under the candlelight, Ji Zhao is dressed in red with a jade face, his eyes are like dots of ink, and his figure is as tall as green, clean and elegant, but still has a bit of youthful air. immortal.

Zong Yu's eyes were instantly filled with appreciation.

Ji Zhao gently put the steelyard aside, bent down and saluted her: "Ji Zhao has seen the princess."

Zong Zhen came back to his senses, and said in a gentle voice: "My son-in-law, please get up..."

She didn't know what the son-in-law was thinking, but seeing Ji Zhao stand up, the corner of his mouth smiled a little more, and Zong Yan couldn't help but also smiled, this life, let's start with this good start.

The aunt came up and cut their hair into a ball, and served them a glass of wine.

Zong Yan actually didn't want to drink it, but he was afraid that refusing it would make Ji Zhao turn into a devil, so he had to drink it.

She couldn't see Ji Zhao's thoughts at all, but looking at his face was relaxed and gentle, he seemed to be a very simple person.Zong Yan didn't believe that there had never been a truly simple person in the family, especially the Ji family.

Zong Yan drank all the wine in one gulp, that's all, take your time.

Both the maid and the aunt heaved a sigh of relief, it really went so smoothly!

Next came the bridal chamber, they smiled and saluted and resigned, their eyes were full of joy, they never thought it would go so smoothly!They all thought it was thanks to the good birth of the son-in-law!

When a eunuch got the good news, he immediately reported the news to the palace with a smile from ear to ear.

In the dormitory, only Zong Yan and Ji Zhao were left.

The two of them were still sitting side by side on the bed, it was absolutely impossible for Zong You to consummate the marriage with Ji Zhao.Deep down, she is still very afraid of Ji Zhao, she is willing to do her best for the peace of this life, but consummating the house is really impossible!

Zong You quickly thought of several suitable methods in her mind, and she raised her eyes. Ji Zhao had obviously been waiting for her words, and looked at her with a smile: "Princess..."

The son-in-law is a minister, and he would never have the guts to ask to consummate the house on his own initiative.

Zong Yan breathed a sigh of relief again, and said in the calmest tone possible: "I feel a little unwell—"

She was thinking about what to say, but Ji Zhao immediately got up as if he was relieved, and saluted her respectfully: "Ji Zhao dare not disturb the princess!"

"..." Zong Yan suddenly felt weird, as if the son-in-law had been waiting for this sentence for a long time.

"Princess, rest early!" Ji Zhao said, turning around to leave.

"Stop!" Zong Yan had just returned, and the original arrogance would not be changed for a while, and she regretted it after she finished speaking.

Ji Zhao looked back with a very good temper, and asked, "What else does the princess want?"

"Today is your wedding day after all, you, you just—" Zong Yan looked at it and pointed to the arhat bed beside him, "Let's rest there..."

Zong Yan was very willing to give up the bed to the son-in-law, but he also knew that this move was too unreasonable and must arouse suspicion.

Sure enough, Ji Zhao suddenly realized, and saluted again: "Thank you, princess!"

Not only that, but he also asked very thoughtfully: "Princess, do you want me to move the screen?" While speaking, he had already gone to the closet and moved the five-leaf jade-inlaid peony screen, which happened to block the bed. Between the Luohan bed.He came out from behind the screen with a smile and asked her, "How about this?"

"it is good……"

"Princess, rest early! Before your maid comes in tomorrow morning, I will move it back for you!" Ji Zhao looked very happy, and saluted her again, then turned to rest behind the screen, without a word of nonsense, and could not see anything else Emotions.

"..." Zong Yan felt even weirder. She removed the hairpin ring by herself, fell on the bed, closed the curtain, and began to think about Ji Zhao.

Who is Ji Zhao?He didn't understand in his previous life, but now, the more he pondered, the more she understood.

She frowned in distress, forget it, she will hold the son-in-law in the future, give more concubines to the son-in-law, and care more about him, and only ask him to be more tolerant to their Zong clan when he becomes emperor in the future.

Zong Yan thought about some things about his life again, and finally fell asleep gradually, and it was rare to have a good sleep.

The bedroom was extremely quiet. Even though there were screens and curtains blocking it, the sound insulation technology of the ancients was mediocre. From such a close distance, Ji Zhao could still hear Princess Fuchen's occasional movements. When she finally heard her sleeping breathing, Ji Zhao Zhao also breathed a sigh of relief.

Scared him to death!

Fortunately, Princess Fuchen doesn't seem to like him!

Don't need him to consummate the house!

Otherwise, what can he do!
