Wanchun was very low-key when he entered the house. He was so low-key that he looked like a wealthy family entering a concubine's house.

A dozen attendants and a soft sedan slowly entered the palace at noon the next day.

The princess was getting married. It was such a grand event, but Wanchun had someone send word in advance that there was no need to open the gate of the county prince's palace. She went in through the side door.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it has never been so miserable for a princess to get married. Even when Li Shimin sent the princess to get married, the leaders of the foreign tribes drove tens of millions of cattle and sheep from beyond the Great Wall to Chang'an to welcome the bride with their entourage. No matter how meager their financial resources were,

I also want to marry the Princess of Tang Dynasty in a glorious way.

However, Wanchun's marriage was almost the same as that of an ordinary concubine. A dozen attendants and maids gathered in a simple soft sedan, quietly walked through the streets to the door of the Gu family's palace, and even gave orders in advance.

There was no need to open the palace door. This marriage was careless and hasty from the beginning.

No one wants to get married in this way. Gu Qing is Wanchun's sweetheart, but this marriage is not what she wants. It sounds a bit contradictory. To put it simply, she met the right person, but the timing was wrong and the form was wrong.

Already.

Gu Qing was also unwilling. Although her beauty was the only thing that attracted him to Wanchun, and he didn't mind Wanchun becoming one of his wives, there were too many political factors involved in this marriage.

, a happy event turned into a business, and the moment Wanchun walked in, it meant that the buyer and the seller had settled their money.

If a dead mouse falls into a pot of good soup, who can drink it?

Princess Wanchun, who was once so proud, quietly entered the Gu family's door at this wrong time.

It was Wanchun's own request to be low-key and simple. Li Heng probably didn't care too much about the imperial sister. Marrying her to Gu Qing was just a temporary expedient. Soon the two sides would inevitably be at war with each other, and this chess piece would become the soft one.

The moment she stepped into the sedan chair, her mission was completed. As for whether the wedding was grand or simple, Li Heng didn't care.

For Li Heng, a simple wedding is more to his liking. Firstly, it is not a glorious thing for the royal family for a princess to marry a powerful minister as a concubine. Secondly, when Gu Qing married a princess in a simple wedding, people would only say that Gu Qing was arrogant if word spread.

Having no superiors and insulting the Heavenly Family, the royal family took the opportunity to play the role of a humiliated person who endured the humiliation, attracting sympathy from the people of the world and earning public opinion.

When Gu Qing heard the report from his servants, Princess Wanchun's sedan chair had already stopped outside the palace gate.

The servants looked strange, and Zhang Huaiyu also looked thoughtful. Looking at Gu Qing's calm expression, Zhang Huaiyu seemed to understand something, and immediately said firmly: "Your Highness, you can't enter in such a simple way. If word gets out, my Gu family will not only be targeted by the public, but also

He will also be the laughing stock of the world."

Gu Qing looked at Zhang Huaiyu and said with a smile: "The princess's sedan chair has stopped at the door. Even if we want to make a splash, it's too late. What do you think, madam?"

Zhang Huaiyu said decisively: "Send people to enter the palace quickly, invite the princess's phoenix chariot, and clear the way with full ceremonial guards. Mobilize the Anxi Army to line up along the street, and then invite a singing and dancing band from Taichang Temple to play and make noise all the way, making the princess look glamorous."

Welcome in."

Gu Qing smiled bitterly and said: "Everyone is already at the door, what's the use of doing this?"

Zhang Huaiyu rolled his eyes at him and said: "People are people, and rules are rules. When people arrive at the door, the rules can be repeated again. Even if someone lifts Her Royal Highness's vacant phoenix chariot, it must be carried grandly all the way from the palace.

When you enter the Gu family, if you break the etiquette and rules when marrying a princess, you will be written down in the history books and scolded for hundreds of thousands of years. The husband will ask himself, can he bear it? "

Gu Qing said nonchalantly: "At that time, I was so dead that no bones were left, so why should I care about my posthumous name?"

But Zhang Huaiyu insisted: "Husband, please listen to me this time. Your reputation must not be bad. You have a high position and a lot of money. If you do things with a bad reputation, you will definitely have difficulty in the future."

Gu Qing nodded and said: "I'll leave this matter to Madam. In short, as long as the Gu family is not rude, it is a sensitive time now, and unprovoked disturbances are always a trouble."

Zhang Huaiyu said: "Husband, don't worry, I will leave it to you."

After speaking, Zhang Huaiyu directly called Han Jie and ordered Han Jie to send his personal guards into the palace to bring out Princess Wanchun's Feng Luan. He also asked Gu Qing to order five thousand soldiers to be mobilized from Chengtianmen Zhuque Street to the front of the Gu family's palace.

The soldiers lined up along the street, unfurling the banners and honor guards of the county king, so that the people in the city could see them.

Gu Qing watched Zhang Huaiyu giving orders with a smile on his face, his expression becoming more and more pleased.

Marrying a capable mother-in-law is indeed worry-free. Those submissive little girls often cannot come to the stage when big things happen, and they cannot say a complete sentence, let alone let her handle the matter.

The princess should have the aura of a princess. Zhang Huaiyu, who came from a prime minister's family, obviously did an excellent job. She was generous and resolute. She was completely relieved to leave the palace to her.

After Zhang Huaiyu arranged all the major and minor matters, he said to Gu Qing: "Husband, I will go outside the house to talk to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Gu Qing nodded and said: "Fuck you."

Zhang Huaiyu rolled his eyes at him, pointed at him warningly, then turned around and left.

Outside the palace gate, Princess Wanchun had been waiting in a soft sedan chair for a long time.

The main door of the palace was closed, and the side door was also closed. The palace maid next to her, Fu'e, was so angry that she turned blue with anger. However, today was the princess's wedding day. Fu'e could only hold back her anger. There was a distinction between superiors and inferiors.

It's not her turn to be angry.

Suddenly, the side door of the palace opened, and Zhang Huaiyu, dressed in the royal robes of a princess, walked out of the side door, walked to the sedan chair and whispered: "I have not come far to welcome Her Royal Highness, please forgive me."

From inside the sedan chair, Wan Chun's voice came out faintly: "Sister, you're welcome. I'm a person with poor fortune and a humble body, so why should I be too polite? When my sister walks in, we are a family. When I marry into the Gu family, I am no longer a princess.

"

Zhang Huaiyu said, neither humble nor arrogant: "The princess will always be a princess, and the etiquette cannot be discarded. The Gu family is lucky to have the princess as a virtuous woman, but today is a little rushed, and the palace has no time to prepare the ceremony. Your Highness, please wait while the palace prepares."

"

The woman next to her finally couldn't help it anymore and said coldly: "Princess, your Royal Highness, my princess has been waiting outside the door for half an hour. Your Highness does not ask for a grand welcome or a ten-mile colorful shed, but the main door of the palace is not open, and the side door is not open.

Close it tightly, is this too bullying?"

Zhang Huaiyu glanced at her and said nothing.

In the soft sedan, Wan Chun suddenly said coldly: "Here comes someone."

Next to her, a young maid of honor saluted and said, "My servant is here."

Wan Chun said in Ruo Hanshuang's words: "Taking control of Fu'e's mouth, ten notes."

Fu'e was startled, and then her face instantly turned pale. The young palace maid did not dare to disobey the order, so she stepped forward and slapped Fu'e ten times with all her strength. Fu'e was slapped until the corners of her mouth bleed, and her cheeks were swollen, but she was half

He didn't dare to say a word of complaint, but he knelt on the ground and kept begging for forgiveness.

Wan Chun said coldly: "Fu'e, from today on, I am the wife of the Gu family. I also want to treat the princess as my elder sister. Who gave you the courage to be so disrespectful to the princess?"

Fu'e kowtowed as if she were pounding garlic: "I know your sin, I will not dare to do it next time."

Wan Chun said calmly: "This is the first and last time. If you dare to be disrespectful to the princess and sister again, you will be killed with a stick."

Fu'e responded hurriedly, then turned around and kowtowed to Zhang Huaiyu to apologize.

Only then did Zhang Huaiyu show a smile and said: "Today is a great day. Your Highness, please do not get angry and spoil your happiness."

After a pause, Zhang Huaiyu seemed to comfort and explain, and said softly: "His Highness came suddenly today, and no one in the palace expected that His Highness's ceremonial carriage and horses were so... rudimentary. If word spread, it would not only damage the majesty of the Tian family, but also cause harm to the Gu family.

It was inconvenient, so I made the decision privately and sent people to Taiji Palace to invite His Highness Feng Luan. I also dispatched five thousand soldiers of the Anxi Army to line up along the street. With the momentum of Princess Zhuang marrying into the Gu family, I inevitably neglected Your Highness in preparing many matters. Please

Your Highness, please forgive me."

In the sedan chair, Wanchun was silent for a while, and said quietly: "Sister, there is no need to be so polite to me. I said that once you enter the Gu family, you will be the wife of the Gu family from now on. You are the royal concubine, and all internal affairs in the house should be decided by you.

, I don’t have any opinion.”

On the happy day, Zhang Huaiyu could hear that there was no joy in Wanchun's tone. Thinking of the tense relationship between her husband and the emperor, and the conflicts that were about to break out in the court, Zhang Huaiyu couldn't help but sigh. She felt the same as Wanchun's mood at this moment.

"Your Highness, your husband is your ideal husband. No matter why your Highness married into the Gu family, at least you have got your wish. Why don't Your Highness relax your heart and spend the rest of your life happily with your husband."

In the soft sedan, Wan Chun didn't make a sound for a long time.

Zhang Huaiyu further advised: "My husband once said that the affairs of the world should be solved by the world. The Gu family is not the world, it is a place where the family lives. Any conflicts and hatred from outside are not allowed to be brought in through the door of the Gu family, no matter the time.

No matter how chaotic the situation is, the Gu family will always be a paradise outside the world. Does Your Highness understand what your husband means?"

Wan Chun finally said softly: "Thank you sister for the tip, sister, I will remember it."

Zhang Huaiyu said deeply: "Your Highness, believe me, you will not regret it."

…………

Prince Gu's marriage to Princess Wanchun, under Zhang Huaiyu's control, finally took off in the shortest possible time, and the whole city knew about it. It was grand and gorgeous.

Starting from Chengtian Gate, Prince Gu rode to the palace gate to wait. Princess Wanchun had already entered the palace, but Gu Qing still welcomed the princess's chariot into the palace very grandly. No one knew the luxury of the princess's ceremonial guard.

There was actually no one in Luanjia, and Prince Gu felt lonely.

Although the palace is empty, the pomp and ceremony is full of pomp and circumstance.

Five thousand officers and soldiers of the Anxi Army entered the city wearing armor, holding high banners of various colors, and tying colorful ribbons on their weapons to show that no weapons would be seen on the auspicious day. From Chengtian Gate to the Prince's Mansion, the soldiers lined up along the street. Every mile the Luanjia walked, the soldiers raised their heads.

Shout "mighty".

Such a gorgeous scene naturally attracted people from all over the city to watch. The newly married Prince Gu once again married the Tian family princess, and Gu Qing once again became a hot search list in Chang'an City.

The common people stared with envy or envy as the officers and soldiers of the Anxi army gathered around the princess Luan Jia and walked through the long Zhuque Street. The crowd of onlookers began to whisper about the future of the county prince's palace.

A princess who married into a prince's palace would at most be on an equal footing with the princess, which was unheard of in the Tang Dynasty. Fortunately, the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was open and the people were very open. For some strange things, the people were surprised for a while and then quickly adapted to it.

Then the people began to quietly argue about whether the princess or the princess was older in the county prince's palace, whether Prince Gu spent more nights at the princess's place or at the princess's place every month, if the princess and the princess got into a fight, who would Prince Gu help?

If both of them have children in the future, who will be the legitimate concubine, who will be the concubine, etc.

They could not live the life of the county king, but the people were worried about the county king.

At the end of the fight, the common people became more and more fierce, and some grumpy people simply took action. Princess Luan actually caused a small commotion after passing by, and they fought over the family affairs and gossip of His Highness. Obviously, the Anshi Rebellion had a great impact on the world.

Huge damage, but little impact on the people of Chang'an City, otherwise no one would be so idle.

Looking at it from another perspective, perhaps this can be regarded as a slow recovery of the prosperous times.

One characteristic of the prosperous age is that there are a lot of boring people and a lot of people who deserve a beating. I don’t know why, but these people can escape the war.
To be continued...
