At the end of March, Emperor Xuande personally went to Jinyang City to supervise the battle, and the morale of Dazhou's generals was boosted, and the siege of the city was even more courageous. Jinyang City has been defending for two months, and reinforcements from the Liao Kingdom cannot be counted on. Now the city gate can be broken at any time. Now that the defeat has been decided, in order to prevent Dazhou from slaughtering the people after breaking the city, Jin Emperor Liu Ye finally surrendered. At this point, the six prefectures under the jurisdiction of the Jin state were incorporated into Dazhou, except for Youyun Shi, who was offered to the Liao state in the north by the former emperor Huijun voluntarily. The four states and the Central Plains have all been owned by the Zhao family Dazhou.
Xuande Emperor Longyan Joy!
The ministers all praised his elder brother, Emperor Gaozu, for his valiant military conquest of the world, but Emperor Gaozu failed to conquer Jin. From now on, let's see who dares to look down on him, and what about the literati emperor, the literati can still conquer the world by strategizing strategies!
With one thing on his mind, Emperor Xuande stood on the city wall of Jinyang City, looking at the Liao Kingdom in the north, his eyes twinkling.
Back in the capital, Emperor Xuande first summoned officials from the Ministry of Rites and Zongzheng Temple to inquire about the preparations for the wedding of the fourth Prince Gong. The eldest, the second, and the third are all married to the princess, and the three daughters-in-law are all pregnant this year. As long as the fourth child gets married, Emperor Xuande can plan the country wholeheartedly. As for the only daughter, Princess Duanhui, who is only fourteen this year, Xuande The emperor is not in a hurry, he will stay for a few more years.
On April 16, King Gong got married.
Song Jianing and Zhao Heng passed by early in the morning, the male guests were lively in the front yard, Song Jianing and the already familiar Princess Qin and others were talking in the back yard. Princess Rui's month is the oldest, it's been six months, but her belly is pregnant, but her face is not very fat, which makes Song Jianing envious. Her appetite has improved significantly this month, and the naked eyes on her face are about to return to the fullness of the New Year...
Feng Zheng is four months old, and the dress is loose and can't be seen for the time being, but her complexion is ruddy, and she is living a very good life at first glance.
Song Jianing was the closest to her, and the two sisters talked softly about the trivial matters of having a child, mainly Feng Zheng imparting experience to Song Jianing.
Princess Rui listened to her secretly, seeing that Feng Zheng and Song Jianing were all looking good like peach blossoms, and then she thought that since she was pregnant, Prince Rui only came to her side to perfunctory on the first and fifteenth days of each month, and spent the rest of the time at Zhang's. In the fox spirit house, Princess Rui felt a surge of sourness in her heart, she asked Song Jianing with a smile, "Is my brother and sister pregnant for three months? Have you arranged a room for the third highness?"
Song Jianing was not close to her, so when Princess Rui opened her mouth to ask about this kind of thing, Song Jianing was a little surprised, and then asked back in confusion, "Why is the second sister-in-law asking this?" She couldn't say no, it seemed she was jealous, although The main reason for her not arranging is that her longevity prince is not close to women, at least not showing the intention of wanting to pass the room.
Song Jianing's face was honest, and he looked like he didn't have any plans. Princess Rui thought she would answer whatever Song Jianing asked her, but now that Song Jianing asked back, Princess Rui looked at Princess Chu and said jokingly, "I heard that Your Highness loves my sister-in-law very much. , the original family has been dismissed, so I wonder if my younger brother and sister also learned the method of controlling the husband from the elder sister-in-law, and let the third highness guard you alone."
She smiled intimately, but her words were not very pleasant, but Song Jianing and Feng Zheng knew that Princess Rui was not feeling well, and neither of them were narrow-minded people, so they looked at each other and Feng Zheng replied, "Second brother and sister, The words are really frustrating me, we are all serving the prince, and we all obey the prince's orders, how can we dare to think of any way to control the husband?"
As soon as Feng Zheng clicked, Princess Rui's face changed slightly, she believed that Feng Zheng was mocking her and that she failed to get into Prince Rui's eyes, so Prince Rui went to dote on the concubine's house, Feng Zheng and Song Jianing were liked by men, so they Can be alone in their respective palaces. But the fact is clearly that that slut from the Zhang family used the trick of fascination to confuse Prince Rui!
With a perfunctory smile, Princess Rui turned her head, feeling sullen by herself, and glanced at the new house of the fourth prince, Prince Gong, Princess Rui now has a wish, hoping that Princess Gong will suffer as hard as she is, and will not be treated by King Gong, otherwise the four My lord, all three favored the princess, but she, the princess Rui, was left out in the cold, and it was too embarrassing to spread it out.
With this thought in mind, when the groom took the bride back and wanted to pick the hijab, Princess Rui was even more nervous than Prince Gong, holding the hijab in her hand and staring at the hijab.
Prince Gong held the golden scale pole, his hands trembled slightly. He had never seen Li Mulan, but only heard that Li Mulan was raised by the Li family as a boy since childhood and learned a good skill. He only saw Li Mulan once with his mother, Concubine Hui. portrait. Li Mulan in the painting has a pair of phoenix eyes and a smile on the corner of her mouth. She is not as feminine as the third sister-in-law, but she is also a beauty.
As a man, King Gong only wanted his princess to be beautiful and gentle, and it didn't matter whether she could kung fu or not.
His throat rolled, and the eighteen-year-old Prince Gong slowly lifted his hijab, but his eyes were fixed on below the hijab. The first thing he saw was a chin, with a dark complexion... A black-faced princess, Prince Gong's heart sank, waiting for He lifted all the hijabs, and found that Li Mulan's face was thin but cold, the only desirable phoenix eyes were beautiful but heroic, and there was no tenderness that a woman should have.
Li Mulan saw it and didn't care much. She turned her eyes from Prince Gong's face and looked directly at a few women not far away. Seeing Song Jianing, Li Mulan smiled, generous and hearty.
Song Jianing couldn't help laughing, why didn't Sister Mulan dress up? Although this is not ugly, but the bride, it is better to dress up, right? But thinking of Mulan's sister's temper, Song Jianing quickly figured it out and nodded to the bride with a smile. At this time, Prince Gong turned his back to her, and Song Jianing couldn't see Prince Gong's face. When Prince Gong turned to sit next to Li Mulan and saw the serious face of Prince Gong, Song Jianing couldn't help but sweat for Li Mulan.
King Gong, shouldn't you dislike Mulan's sister
King Gong really didn't like it. The third sister-in-law is the most beautiful. She is not as beautiful as a woman in the world. The beauty of the city is impossible to find. He doesn't compare with the third brother, but Li Mulan can't even compare with the sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law. She is dark and not gentle. Without makeup, how can you look like a woman? His father even gave him such a woman as a marriage, and his heart was too biased!
Depressed in his heart, King Gong could only use wine to relieve his worries, and he had a bowl of wine with others. In the end, he was so drunk that he was carried back to the new house by two little eunuchs. King Gong was full of alcohol, and Li Mulan was very displeased, and asked the maids to wait on King Gong to take a bath, and she sat alone in the inner room and waited. Over there, Prince Gong vomited, drank the sobering tea and took a bath. He was a little sober. When he returned to the inner room and saw that Li Mulan was actually reading a book, it was a military book. Did you read a book?"
Li Mulan glanced at him, thinking of her mother's instructions, she put down the book and went to lie down on the bed.
Although King Gong didn't like this princess, he admired Old General Li, and he didn't even dislike Li Mulan on the wedding night. Now that Li Mulan was lying down, he took off his robe and walked to the bedside. Li Mulan closed her eyes and seemed to despise him a bit. King Gong pursed her lips, unbuttoned her clothes, and followed her example, said nothing and went straight to the bridal chamber.
Li Mulan has practiced martial arts since she was a child. What hardship has she not experienced? Although it was extremely uncomfortable, he endured it silently. King Gong saw that she was wooden, and would not hug him to please him like two maids in the room, without even a single pleading, he suddenly lost interest, finished hastily, lay down next to him with his eyes closed and fell asleep. Li Mulan lay silently for a while, feeling able to move, she sat up, went around the screen to clean up, then went back to the bed, pulled half of the quilt and lay on her side with her back to the man.
The dragon and phoenix candles were quietly burning on the opposite side, Li Mulan's eyes were empty, and her mother's words rang in her ears again: "Mulan, you are a woman, after all, you want to marry a wife and teach children. Forget those kung fu, give birth to a son early, You are doing well, and the mother is at ease."
Li Mulan closed her eyes.
Her father died early, and her mother had been worrying about her for more than ten years, so her mother asked her to be obedient to the draft, so she went to the draft, and her mother persuaded her to marry her, and she also became this Princess Gong. However, this is not the life she wants at all. What she wants is to fight the enemy and defend the country like her grandfather and father, instead of lying under a man and doing nothing.

Song Jianing saw Li Mulan again. It was Prince Gong and his wife who entered the palace to greet Queen Li. Song Jianing sat beside Feng Zheng and heard the palace maid report that Prince Gong and his wife had arrived. She immediately turned to look at the door. King Gong came in first, Song Jianing looked behind him, and saw Li Mulan wearing the crown of a princess, her face was as usual, and there was no shyness of the newlyweds on her face.
Song Jianing was vaguely worried, and then keenly discovered that the couple never looked at each other when they saluted.
Please pass by. Li Mulan went with Prince Gong to Concubine Hui's palace. Song Jianing and Feng Zheng walked out of the palace together, and the two sisters whispered. Feng Zheng whispered, "Why do I feel that Prince Gong doesn't seem to be satisfied with the fourth siblings?"
Even the sister-in-law said the same, Song Jianing was worried about Li Mulan's replacement.
When Zhao Heng came back in the evening, Song Jianing secretly asked her husband, "What do you like about Prince Gong?"
Zhao Heng glanced at her and asked, "Why ask him?"
Song Jianing sighed, and did not hide it from him, she told her and Feng Zheng's guess, and finally said: "I met with Mulan sister, the prince told me what Prince Gong likes, I will tell her when I have a chance, their husband and wife may be harmonious. Some." In Song Jianing's heart, Li Mulan was a good-hearted and open-minded woman, and she deserved to be respected and loved by men.
Zhao Heng didn't know Li Mulan, but Prince Gong... Looking at the little princess who was worried about her good sister, Zhao Heng suddenly thought of the first time he saw her in the palace. At that time, their brothers were more than arrows. Before the competition, the fourth brother picked up the stones and threw them at her feet. After the competition, the fourth brother chased after her, one cousin from Jia Ning.
Zhao Heng can probably guess what kind of woman the fourth brother likes, but she is the only one who is stupid, always belittles herself, and has no idea how attractive she is.
"I don't know." Zhao Heng said lightly.
Song Jianing looked disappointed.
"Raise the baby with peace of mind, don't think too much." Zhao Heng took the person into his arms, and gently pressed his big hand to her flat abdomen through the clothes, and ordered.
He was afraid that her overthinking would affect raising the baby, Song Jianing smiled, leaned on his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I have my senses."
Zhao Heng rubbed her brow and believed it for the time being.
