Great Zhou Empress

The fact that His Majesty the Empress of the Great Zhou wanted to marry Princess Raging Fire, who was in power in the Liao Kingdom, shocked the two countries, as well as the princes and princes in the city of Wan Guo.

The emperors and princes in ancient times did not have lovers of the same sex, and they also brought their lovers into the palace, some of which were carefully recorded in the history books, and some were even official concubines of princes and nobles.

But the queen, really, no.

At least all the courtiers racked their brains and found no precedent.

It's just that they've gotten used to being shocked over the years. It seems that since the women of the former dynasty took the imperial examination, the track of this world has begun to rush towards a direction they are not familiar with.

Anyway, the logic is going around, it seems that it is not something that the empress has a queen, it is not allowed.

Except for the heirs.

In the past two days, Xue Zhijing received many requests from his courtiers, and without exception, they were all trying to persuade her.They also clearly saw that their majesty is a person who values ​​affection, and they can't just treat him as a joke, and judging from the momentum of their majesty, it is clear that they want to be a couple for a lifetime.

They can accept a woman's affection, but having no relatives or bloodline heirs always makes people feel uneasy, as if the entire dynasty is built on a floating boat that will capsize at some point.

At the same time, students from the Royal Comprehensive University also came to see him.

Xue Zhijing is the head of the Royal Comprehensive University. Every time the opening ceremony, she has to lecture the students of the whole school in the auditorium. Her portrait almost hangs all over the campus. She is the teacher of all the students of the Royal Comprehensive University.

After a few years, these students have all graduated, entered the court, entered the army, and went to all walks of life in a steady stream, and the Great Zhou Dynasty will be completely stable.

The students all came to persuade their teacher and His Majesty with a very sincere attitude, and basically they all persuaded His Majesty's reputation and heirs after a hundred years. Xue Zhijing has always treated them in a gentle and polite way, but his mouth But it is not loose.

Naturally, Xue Zhijing couldn't talk to them about the good relationship between her and Xiao Liege, even though they were both teenagers, marriage in this era has never been about love.

So Xue Zhijing can only say, the benefits of the peace between the two countries, the prospect of the future alliance, as for the heir, the adopted daughter can also be the heir.

Even so, Xue Zhijing still had a lot of headaches.

She had to make some new plans, but this plan might not work. She asked the people around her where Dr. Sun Miaoer was practicing medicine, and they summoned her back to Beijing.

Since Sun Miaoer went out of Beijing to practice medicine in various places, she seems to have a feeling that she wants to stay at the grassroots level. The trajectory is almost from one town to another.

She regularly sends reports to Xue Zhijing, briefly describing what cases she has encountered recently, how to treat them, and how many local barefoot doctors she has trained.So Xue Zhijing knew very well that her hard work brought rich rewards.

Regarding this matter, she immediately thought of Sun Miaoer, maybe Sun Miaoer can really do it, didn't she do artificial insemination for cows last time?

It's just that within two days, I suddenly received news that Sun Miao'er was missing.

Xue Zhijing was startled and angry at once. She claimed that under the Qingming Dynasty under the Great Zhou Dynasty, Sun Miaoer went not to the deep mountains and old forests, but to a town with a large population, and brought a group of small doctors, how could she disappear.

Just as he was about to find someone to look for, Yuan Jin appeared suddenly and hurriedly said that she wanted to go in person, Xue Zhijing agreed, and asked Yuan Jin to bring him back.

The Liao Kingdom was also in turmoil.

The difference from the Dazhou side is that the princes and nobles in the Liao Kingdom are all very angry. After all, it is their princess who wants to marry. According to historical conventions, the party between the two countries who wants to send the princess to marry must be the weak side. , how can they bear it.This reason has overshadowed the sex of the Great Zhou emperor as a woman.It seems that if the distance is a little farther away, people only see the symbol of the emperor and this person is even more blurred.

Xiao Liege also took great pains to deal with this problem.

Her side is more troublesome, because the Liao Kingdom has not experienced wars, nor has it experienced a change of dynasty.

Many of the princes and nobles of the Liao Kingdom are Xiao Liege's elders, so she has to explain to each other how powerful she is.

In the end, it was resolved by giving them more business shares.

The current Great Zhou and the Liao Kingdom have a lot of economic and trade exchanges, among which the royal families of the two countries account for the most, followed by the various princes and nobles. Xiao Liege transferred a part of the royal family's trade share to the various nobles.

Then I mentioned that although she agreed to the title of Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, she would not change her nationality, nor would she accept other things other than the title guard, such as fiefs and other assets.At the same time, the Emperor of the Great Zhou had already made the decision to accept the title of consort of the Liao Kingdom.

In this way, the princes and nobles who have gained both face and face will give themselves a step down, but it is just a plan for the alliance between the two countries. It is just a title, and nothing else is counted. Then Let them go.

Xiao Liege talked about this with Xue Zhijing wearily, but Xue Zhijing smiled indifferently, "The princes and nobles in your country all have their own plans, and they have gained a lot of profits from the economic cooperation between the two countries in the past few years. This thing is always beneficial and harmless to them, and they will recognize it sooner or later."

"Then why do they come to my palace every day to talk about this and that, are they tired?" Xiao Liege said, "You don't even know, that old man is over 80 years old, and he always says he is older at New Year's celebrations on weekdays." I couldn’t come anymore, but this time it turned out to be a good time, and someone actually carried him into the palace to see me. I really didn’t dare to say anything harsh, just because I was afraid of scaring him, so he passed by right away.”

When Xiao Liege mentioned this, his expression was very rich. Seeing that Xue Zhijing laughed unconsciously, even a little angry, she pinched her waist and poured Xiao Liege a glass of wine, "What are you doing? Are you so scared?"

Xiao Liege took a sip of his wine, calming himself down, "You don't know, you don't have these elders in their seventies and eighties here, and I have many, it's really a headache."

Xue Zhijing just smiled, and then said softly, "This marriage between the two of us is based on the form of a covenant between the two countries, so the covenant between the two countries must be made first. Seeing that the Conference of Nations is about to be held, we Think about finalizing the covenant within two days."

Logically speaking, it should be a very exciting thing for the two to arrange a marriage, but they have been together for many years, and after many plans, they finally brought the two countries so close and successfully Living together has accomplished a major step, and getting married seems insignificant by comparison.

At the same time, Xue Zhijing was forced to arrange marriages, while Xiao Liege felt a little tired after dealing with princes and nobles for a long time. What a beautiful idea.

However, two days later, when Xiao Liege came back in the evening, Xue Zhijing happily told her that the costumes for the queen's canonization ceremony had been prepared and let her try it on. Only then did Xiao Liege feel a little ignorant and shy.

Xue Zhijing and a few maids helped Xiao Liege try on clothes, and Xue Zhijing hung accessories on her waist for her at the end, then took two steps back to look, and exclaimed, "The queen's clothes match my darling."

Hearing the admiration, Xiao Liege laughed, but seeing that there were still several court ladies around, Xue Zhijing called her "Babe", and his face immediately became gloomy.

Xue Zhijing also knows that she is the best way to save face. If there are other people around on weekdays, she will not have any intimate behaviors with Xue Zhijing, and the title of "baby, obedient" is even more unacceptable.

Xue Zhijing covered his mouth to her, indicating that he would stop talking, and Xiao Liege laughed again.

"Take two steps and try." Xue Zhijing suggested.

Xiao Liege walked forward by herself, while the palace maid helped her lift the back of her clothes behind her.

This is the thickest and grandest set of costumes, with five or six layers up and down, wide robes and wide sleeves, and the hem at the back is so long that it weighs at least twenty catties.

It's also because Xiao Liege's physical condition is good, and he can still walk forward slowly. If it was a weaker person, he would probably be out of breath after walking two steps.

But Xiao Liege also said, "The clothes are heavy enough, you have to walk in small steps."

Xue Zhijing looked at it and said, "This is a traditional

Costumes are complicated and a kind of etiquette. I guess, wearing such costumes in large-scale ceremonies will make the surrounding audience feel very solemn. "

Xiao Liege looked at her sideways, and said, "Just like the Bodhisattva in the temple?"

Xue Zhijing smiled, "Yes, just like the Bodhisattvas in the temple."

After trying on several clothes, Xiao Liege was so tired that he was sweating, he went to the bathroom to take a shower, and saw Xue Zhijing reading a booklet.

"The etiquette of the grand ceremony," Xue Zhijing smiled and handed the booklet to her, "It was supposed to be more complicated. After all, although it is a canonization ceremony, it is also a marriage. It should have been a few months before and after, but I don't want it. After these few months, it’s time to toss me to death, so I simplified it, but it will take a whole day, which is comparable to my enthronement ceremony.”

Xiao Liege looked at the detailed records in the booklet, and the image of her and Xue Zhijing standing side by side on the palace hall to accept the worship of everyone came to mind.

A kind of shy anticipation slowly surfaced in my heart, as if I only realized later that I had a kind of excitement and shyness that I was about to make an official announcement in front of everyone.

Xue Zhijing also noticed the change on her face, he used to lift her face up, and asked with a smile, "Are you so happy?"

Xiao Liege's face was a little red, and he avoided her eyes in embarrassment, "It's not."

How could Xue Zhijing not know that she loves to talk irony, he smiled and pulled the other party into his arms, kissed her forehead and eyebrows, then went all the way down, kissed her lips, closed his eyes and said with a smile, "Actually I should thank my courtiers. If they hadn’t pushed me, how would I, a person who doesn’t care about these red tapes, know that you and I can also have this opportunity to engrave our names on the history books together? Woolen cloth."

"Jing!" Xiao Liege was also a little excited.

"I'm here."

"We want to be together forever, no one is allowed to say we are apart."

"it is good."
