Chapter 144
Princess Taiping ran into the imperial study room, and Wu Zetian was reviewing a batch of memorials. After attending the ceremony, Princess Taiping said, "My mother, I have important things to tell you today."
"Maybe I have no money to spend it again?" Wu Zetian's pen did not stop.
"My Mother, don't look down on others so much!" Princess Taiping walked to the imperial desk and reached out to cover the memorial, "My Mother, just listen to me, it's really important."
"Don't mess around." Wu Zetian had no choice but to put down his pen, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Left and left, retreat!" Princess Taiping shouted and scolded the eunuchs and palace maids and retreated. Shangguan Wan'er was not in the study.
Wu Zetian smiled, "Can you really have something top secret?"
Princess Taiping got close to Wu Zetian and whispered: "My mother, do you still remember Concubine Xiao Shu?"
Wu Zetian frowned, "What do you want to say?"
"My mother, don't be angry!" Princess Taiping said quickly, "I just want to say... so many years have passed, and the Queen Mother should calm down. The Queen Mother executed them and later changed their tribe members' surnames, right?"
"That's right." Wu Zetian said, "Taiping, you must be clear that if I was defeated back then, there would be no living you today. If I hadn't killed these two people in the harem, there would be a series of women who imitated Wang and Xiao and became enemies with me; if I did not completely suppress and shake Wang and Xiao, their revenge would never die."
"I understand all of this." Princess Taiping said, "But now the position of the queen of the mother is as stable as Mount Tai, and the Wang and Xiao clans have no one in the court with high positions. They no longer have any threats to you."
"What exactly do you want to say?" Wu Zetian's voice sank.
"Mother, I want to ask you..." Princess Taiping smiled and said, "I pardon the people of the Wang and Xiao clans, and let them change their original surnames!"
Wu Zetian frowned, "What's your business?"
"Of course it's my business!" Princess Taiping said quickly, "Because Xue Shao's sister-in-law is the surname Xiao!"
"Oh, I remembered it when you say it." Wu Zetian said, "Xue Yan, the eldest son of Princess Chengyang, wanted to marry a woman from Lanling Xiao family. I advised her that Lanling Xiao family was a lowly family, but they did not agree. Later, His Majesty came forward to follow, so I didn't say much."
"My mother, you must have been very angry at that time, right?" Princess Taiping tentatively carefully.
"What's there to be angry about me?" Wu Zetian sneered indifferently, "At that time, Concubine Xiao had been dead for almost ten years. There were quite a few princes and ministers who intermarried with the Wang family of Taiyuan and Xiao family of Lanling. If I were angry, would I still live to this day? Princess Chengyang is His Majesty's own sister. I only reminded me because of the reputation of the relatives of the outside world. Listen to or not, it is their own business. I don't have the leisure to care about whose housework."
"Then...what if Xiao and I became sisters-in-law?" Princess Taiping said in a low voice.
"This is what you want to say the most, right?" Wu Zetian snorted coldly, "You are still worried about his family."
Princess Taiping said carefully: "My mother, I can't help but worry! Xue Lang's parents died early. If it weren't for his elder brother and sister-in-law who took good care of him, they would have died long ago. Will the queen know about Jiuzhi Xuehou, right?"
Wu Zetian said quietly, "So, are you here to plead for Xiao?"
"Well!" Princess Taiping didn't dare to play any tricks, and nodded honestly and admitted, saying, "My mother, you also hope that the emperor's life after marriage can be happy and stable, right? If I can't be harmonious with my sister-in-law, it's just that I will be alienated from their brotherly relationship. How can I be peaceful? Furthermore, the Tang Dynasty governs the world with filial piety, and such a crime will be scolded by the people of the world. Besides, Xue Yan and Xiao have kindness to Xue Lang, so I should be kind to them and repay them!
Wu Zetian still ignored it and said calmly: "What do you want to do?"
Princess Taiping showed a hint of excitement on her face and said, "Mother, the emperor has three requests."
"explain."
"First, restore the original surnames of the Wang family in Taiyuan and Xiao family in Lanling." Princess Taiping said, "So many years have passed, and the relatives of Wang and Xiao's two wives have almost never lived in the world anymore, and they cannot pose any threat to their mother. Instead of doing this, it is better to be a favor and return to their original surname and show the world the Empress of the Empress of the Heavenly Queen's mother's mind to the world."
Wu Zetian has the word "accurate."
Princess Taiping said again: "The second request from the Emperor's son, I will give the title of the second-rank founding county Duke of the Second-rank founding county, and the title of Xiao as the wife of the Second-rank county. In this way, Xiao's identity is noble enough and he can be a sister-in-law with the Emperor's son. In addition, the great-grandson of the father's teacher, Xiao Deyan, is named Xiao Zhizhong, and he is currently the Xianyang Weiwei. You might as well transfer him to be a Beijing official, who is Xiao's cousin."
Wu Zetian frowned and thought for a while, nodded, "It's feasible."
Princess Taiping was furious and said, "The third son, please, did not ask for the third time. Didn't the mother allow Concubine Xiao Shu's two daughters to get married? Now it's better to do good things to the end. Concubine Xiao Shu's son Li Sujie is still the prince. Why not just give him the title of prince!"
"No!" Wu Zetian scolded coldly, "These are two different things."
"My mother, this is one thing." Princess Taiping said carefully, "Since the mother pardoned Xiao, she should show more sincerity to the people of the world. No matter whether Li Sujie is a prince or a prince, he has neither a fief nor a real power, and he is not allowed to return to the capital. He just adds a false title. What does it matter?"
Wu Zetian thought for a moment with his eyebrows tightly and said, "Did Xue Shao teach you these words?"
"No, the emperor swears to the sky, this is all my own idea!" Princess Taiping said confidently.
"You're thinking carefully." Wu Zetian thought for a moment and said, "All three are accurate."
"The emperor thanked the queen!" Princess Taiping bowed happily and bowed her head and bowed her head.
"Okay, don't pretend to behave in front of me." Wu Zetian said with a smile, "Do you think I don't know, it's all done by Xue Shaozhi?"
"Hehe!" Princess Taiping smiled embarrassedly, "The Queen Mother is very clear and can't hide anything from you. But to tell the truth, Xue Lang just mentioned that he was worried that his sister-in-law would make the Queen Mother unhappy. The specific words and methods were all the emperor's own opinions."
"Well, you are much more energetic than before, and you know some human nature. It seems that Xue Shao has a lot of trouble in educating you." Wu Zetian smiled and said, "You want Xue Shao to know that this palace agrees to your three requests not just out of your pampering, but more because of my court's respect for Xue Shao. Do you understand?"
"The emperor understands!" Princess Taiping responded with a smile, walked behind Wu Zetian and pinched her shoulders, and said, "My mother, I still have a question in the book that I want to ask you."
"Say." Wu Zetian closed his eyes and enjoyed Princess Taiping's massage with a smile.
"Mother, isn't marriage a Liuli? This is what the books are written in this way?" said Princess Taiping, "But Xue Lang said it was Qili, and what else is there... a sex?"
"Ah?" Wu Zetian was stunned at first, then laughed.
"Why are you laughing, Queen Wu? Tell the emperor quickly, what does that mean?" Princess Taiping said in great confusion.
"Okay, I'm very busy, you go back!" Wu Zetian couldn't help laughing.
"My mother, tell me quickly!"
"Left and left, let Princess Taiping go out!"
"Don't, don't make it! I'll just go out!" Princess Taiping quickly got up and bowed, and retreated in a bad mood.
Wu Zetian laughed alone, "She?"
Princess Taiping walked out of the imperial study room in depressed mood and saw Shangguan Wan'er coming. While walking, she was still telling her to the female clerk who was holding a bunch of books and memorials beside her. She respectfully called her "Si Yan".
When Shangguan Wan'er saw Princess Taiping, she hurriedly came forward to pay homage.
"Oh, Wan'er has been promoted?" Princess Taiping said with a smile.
Shangguan Wan'er bowed, "Trust your Highness Hong Fu, Wan'er was promoted to the sixth rank of Shanggong Bureau by the Empress of the Heavenly Queen."
"Congratulations!" Princess Taiping asked her to get closer and whispered, "Wan'er, you are knowledgeable and talented. Tell me, what is the difference between the six rituals of marriage and the seven rituals of marriage?"
Shangguan Wan'er blinked and said, "The Six Rites are the rituals revised by Confucius and are still used to this day; the Seven Rites were once the oldest wedding ceremony formulated by Duke Zhou. It was originally one more than Confucius' Six Rites, and it was the last ritual of the Seven Rites."
"Dunlun, what does it mean?" Princess Taiping asked curiously.
Shangguan Wan'er smiled and blushed, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, Dunlun refers to the couple's relationship on the wedding night... Dunlun. Legend has it that after the marriage was formulated, he personally demonstrated it to others step by step to learn, but when Dunlun was in the seventh ritual, his wife refused to demonstrate it in public. So Dunlun used two gourd ladles cut from the middle to one yin and one yang, one man and one woman. The two gourd ladles combined into one upper and second, which means... Cough cough! That is what is often said, perform the rituals of Dunlun!"
"Okay, I understand!" Princess Taiping's face also turned red, and she said in shame, "Then Xue Lang is too bad, why didn't he talk about Dunlun, but insisted on saying "Fuck him?"
"Papapapapapa?" Shangguan Wan'er blinked her big and lively eyes repeatedly, as if she was thinking carefully.
Princess Taiping was confused, "It's so annoying, why is it a sex?"
...
Xue Shao and three of them went into Xue Chuyu's room in person, looked around and said, "Xue Chuyu, are you still used to it?"
Xue Chuyu shook her head with a wry smile, "General, to be honest, I'm not very used to it."
"Why?"
Xue Chuyu said: "I used to eat and sleep with the young masters every day, and I lived in a large tent and slept with twenty people, and a long shop full of fire. But there were two people in a large room here, and they were delicious and delicious. The eighth-rank officers of Zuo Fengchen Guard were treated as General Yulin Guard. I was really not used to it."
"There is no way. We are the emperor's guards and we must not be shabby. Otherwise, if it is spread, your Majesty will be dull." Xue Shao said: "Now you four are ready to clean up immediately, change into regular clothes and go out to the mansion with me."
"Where is the general going?"
Xue Shao smiled mysteriously, "Pingkangfang, are you going?"
Lu Siyi and Tang Zhen and Pan Yi danced together, "Go, go, go!"
Xue Chuyu was still serious and frowned and coughed dryly, "General, are you treating me?"
