When the first snow came in Xijing, the capital sent news of the marriage. It was a coincidence that Chen Liehu also approached the Xiliang royal court at this time.
The old King of Xiliang admitted his mistake before the battle, and the Crown Prince of Xiliang cut off the head of the old King of Qi. Even so, the Crown Prince of Xiliang had to go to the capital as a hostage.
When the news came, the imperial court congratulated Princess Jinyao, Chen Liehu and others.
After the imperial envoy arrived, he and Princess Jin Yao greeted the triumphant Chen Liehu army at the gate of Xijing.
People from the Chen family are also among them.
"Sister." Chen Danzhu whispered to Chen Danyan while waiting, "Chu Yurong said that at first the courtiers suggested that they wait until his father wins a victory before issuing a wedding decree. He disagreed, thinking that this was looking down on his father and also looking down on him.
I."
Seeing her triumphant look, Chen Danyan finally felt a little bit about what it felt like for Miss Danzhu to be so domineering in the capital.
The courtiers said this very politely. Previously, the sixth prince was just the sixth prince, and no one cared about who he married. Even when they heard that the emperor granted marriage to Chen Danzhu and the sixth prince, everyone was very happy and thought it was a right move.
The Bondage of Chen Danzhu.
But who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, the prince would be deposed, the fifth prince would die, the third prince would have evil intentions, and the Iron-faced General would appear and designate the sixth prince as the prince. This is a folk legend, and the courtiers and officials will not believe it.
They can also understand the reason why the emperor ignored this rumor. The future emperor must have some magical legends.
The above is not Chen Danyan's guess. Mr. Yuan often told her about the trends in the capital and told her, "Don't tell Miss Danzhu, lest she feel uneasy."
How could Miss Danzhu be uneasy? Look at what she said.
"As long as you know his thoughts." Chen Danyan said, scolding, "Don't call his name."
Chu Yurong is the prince now, so it would be disrespectful to nominate him with a surname.
Chen Danzhu giggled: "I only shout to you, and he will listen." These are small things. She grabbed Chen Danyan's hand and continued to be beaming, "But my father has made meritorious service at this time, not relying on military merit to get married.
, but to add icing on the cake to this marriage, let’s see who dares to look down on my father.”
Chen Danyan looked at her and said softly: "Chu Yurong is worried that you will be treated poorly, and my father is also worried, so I will definitely win the big prize as soon as possible to add glory to our Danzhu wedding."
Chen Danzhu leaned on her sister's shoulder, rubbing and rubbing: "Actually, the fact that you are all here is the greatest addition to me."
Her only wish was that her family would live, but she never expected that not only would her family live, but she would also get married.
Marry Chu Yurong, or in other words, the Iron-faced General.
In that life, her only interaction with the Iron-faced General, Chu Yurong, was when she heard his name before she died.
She never expected that she would get married to this person in this life.
Chen Danyan watched her sister nuzzling her shoulders, looking soft and cute, and her eyes couldn't help but smile.
"General Chen is here!"
Someone shouted from the front, and sisters Chen Danyan and Chen Danzhu hurriedly looked forward, and sure enough they saw an army rolling in from the horizon.
"Danzhu, Danzhu." Princess Jin Yao shouted, waving to her, "Hurry and pick up your father."
Chen Danzhu smiled at Chen Danyan, let go of her sister's hand, turned over and mounted the little flower horse, and galloped away towards the army.
...
...
From summer to winter, the official roads in Xijing and Beijing are always busy. The difference is that the first half is bad news, and the second half is good news.
After the grand ceremony in which Princess Jin Yao escorted the crown prince of Xiliang back to Beijing, an even grander ceremony came in Daxia, where the crown prince got married.
However, compared with the previous joy, this time both the common people and the wealthy families had mixed emotions - especially the wealthy families.
Chen Danzhu unexpectedly became the Crown Princess and was about to become the Queen - the emperor had already caused a lot of troubles and wanted to abdicate. The civil and military officials had begged for a long time before they agreed to wait until the Crown Prince got married.
If someone like Chen Danzhu becomes the queen, you can imagine what will happen in the future - Chen Danzhu will be able to beat whoever he wants.
The atmosphere in the capital is getting more and more tense. Pedestrians on the road are trembling with fear, and the noble ladies in the capital are afraid to go out behind closed doors.
"This marriage was an accident at the time." Some officials also shook their heads, "Now that the sixth prince has become the crown prince, the marriage should be reconsidered."
Another official proposed a more reasonable method: "However, since His Majesty has granted marriage, Chen Danzhu can still marry the prince and become a concubine or something. The queen must carefully select the one who is virtuous and virtuous."
A noble girl who can shoulder the responsibility of being the mother of a nation."
Before he finished speaking, someone sneered: "The important task of being the mother of a country cannot be shouldered by just being virtuous and virtuous."
The officials who were sitting in the room drinking tea turned around and saw a young official with a long face walking in. He was not good-looking, and his smile made people think he looked unkind - not to mention that he really looked unkind now.
But no one dared to look down on this official. This Pan Rong was born in a poor family. He was appointed by His Majesty to be an official in the court. He claimed to be a disciple of the Emperor and served as a public official in the court. Anyone dared to hold him accountable and anyone dared to scold him. How many officials were there?
I don't like him, but this guy is so talented and knowledgeable that even twenty people can't compare to him.
Pan Rong rose to great heights with just one mouthful, and gained a good reputation among the people, especially those from poor families, which makes people even more helpless.
But what he said today really struck my ears.
Well, it seems that Pan Rong also had a problem with Chen Danzhu - it is said that when he recommended himself as a pillow, Chen Danzhu punched him because he thought he was ugly.
If Chen Danzhu becomes the queen, will he still have a good life in the future?
"Lord Pan!" Everyone greeted one after another, expressing their enthusiasm sincerely this time. "Tell me, what kind of person can shoulder the important responsibility of being the mother of a country?"
Pan Rongsurong said: "Not only must you be virtuous and virtuous, but the most important thing is to be smart, smart, wealthy, not lustful, mighty and unyielding, brave and resourceful, but have a gap in your heart, and have pity for all things in your eyes."
Everyone clapped their hands and applauded, nodding, "That's right." "This is the number one woman in the world." "Only then can she be worthy of the responsibility of educating the world."

"Lord Pan," one person encouraged with hope, "You should advise the emperor to find a woman like this for the prince."
If Pan Rong takes the lead in making a fuss, the emperor and the prince will definitely reconsider——
"Why should I look for it?" Pan Rong looked at him, "His Royal Highness has already found it himself."
Found it? Everyone was stunned. The prince has found someone?
Pan Rong smiled faintly: "That's Miss Danzhu."
Everyone blinked, feeling that they heard wrongly.
"But that's not what you said just now. You clearly made so many demands——"
Pan Rong looked at them with a solemn expression: "Those I mentioned are all the qualities of Miss Danzhu, so she is the only one in the world who can deserve the position of the mother of the country."
Everyone looked dumbfounded. Listen, is this what Pan Rong said in human terms? Wealthy, not obscene, mighty and unyielding, brave and resourceful, with a gap in his heart, and with pity for all things in his eyes - which of these words has anything to do with Chen Danzhu?
?
Are you blind?
"It is my great joy that your Majesty has chosen such a wife for the prince." Pan Rong first bowed his hands towards the emperor, then turned coldly to everyone, "You'd better not criticize the prince behind his back, that is disrespectful to the emperor."
After saying that, he walked out.
Everyone was in an uproar - Pan Rong must be crazy! He praised Chen Danzhu so much!
Some people also guessed a possibility, which may not be crazy.
The man looked at everyone and lowered his voice: "My feelings for Chen Danzhu are still lingering."
Everyone was startled and then became more uproar - that would be even more crazy, this is asking for death, the prince won't kill him yet - well, everyone's expressions became weird again.
If you think about it this way, it doesn't seem like a bad thing.
Then there is no need for them to make trouble now and let Pan Rong frame them for being disrespectful to the emperor. They will just wait for Chen Danzhu to marry the prince, and then Pan Rong and Chen Danzhu will do this and that, and finally Pan Rong will be eliminated by the prince!
How wonderful!
The emperor didn't care about the random thoughts of the officials in the room. Ever since the prince came back, the emperor had disappeared. It was said that he was ill and would have to recover for a long time. As for the prince Chu Yurong, he only cared about one thing at the moment - Chen
When will Danzhu arrive?
"It's time to arrive." Chu Yurong stared at the map in the palace.
There is only one line on the map, from Xijing to the capital.
Wang Xian looked strangely at the side: "How can we forget about Miss Danzhu? Maybe she will regret it halfway."
Chu Yurong ignored him, but Fenglin hurried in from outside.
"Your Highness, Miss Danzhu—" He looked a little uneasy.
Wang Xian laughed, wouldn't he be right?
Chu Yurong also frowned slightly and looked at Fenglin.
"Miss Danzhu has come to Beijing." Feng Lin took a breath.
Wang Xian pouted and sat back.
"But, when Miss Danzhu reached Tingyun Temple, she had to stop and enter the temple." Fenglin continued.
Zhulin persuaded Miss Danzhu at that time that you can go here anytime you want to play. His Highness is waiting for you, so why go now.
Of course, Miss Danzhu would not listen to what Zhulin said.
Wang Xian laughed loudly: "It's amazing, Miss Danzhu is not getting married, she is going to become a monk."
Chu Yurong laughed at what he said: "Why did she go to Tingyun Temple to become a monk?"
Wang Xian pinched his beard: "Who knows, I can live wherever I want to become a monk."
Chu Yurong ignored him. Although he felt that Chen Danzhu would not regret it again, he couldn't help but walk out: "Then I will go to Tingyun Temple to pick her up."
...
...
In winter, Tingyun Temple is grand and solemn, with strong incense in the front hall and solemn Zen Master Hall in the back hall.
There was a chess game in front of the Zen Master's hall. Master Huizhi and the emperor were playing chess. The emperor didn't know whether it was because he wore thick winter clothes or gained weight, but when he fell behind in a chess move, he very quickly leaned forward and grabbed the chess piece. "I put it wrong.
Again."
Master Huizhi grabbed his wrist and said, "Your Majesty, you will have no regrets when you play chess."
The emperor stared and shouted: "I am the emperor!"
Master Huizhi was a little helpless: "The emperor can't do it either-"
"Bold, you are disobeying me!" The emperor immediately became angry, his face gloomy.
Master Huizhi had nothing to fear: "Why is Your Majesty getting more and more angry? It was rumored some time ago that some ministers were so frightened that they pretended to be sick and did not dare to go to court."
The emperor said angrily: "If those mediocre ministers dare to come to court, I will chop off their heads."
These words sounded even more terrifying, but Master Huizhi smiled instead. Hey, if they really want to behead their heads, they can be dragged out of their homes without going to court. With a flash from the corner of his eye, he saw the emperor shouting angrily and raising his hands.
But he moved the pieces on the chessboard flexibly!
"Your Majesty!" Master Huizhi also shouted angrily, grabbing the emperor's hand.
"Master——" A louder voice sounded in the yard, "It's not good, it's not good!"
Master Huizhi couldn't bear to see someone who would panic when something happened. As a monk of a royal temple, how could he be so shameless!
He looked at the disciples running towards him and scolded him - "Discourteous! What's wrong with the Royal Temple!"
The disciple hurriedly stopped, stammered and pointed outside: "Chen, Chen Danzhu is here."
As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor, who was still leaning forward to pick up the chess pieces, lay down on the soft chair and exclaimed: "Why is she here? I have a headache!"
Master Huizhi stood up.
"Chen Danzhu! What is she still doing here now? Already-" he said nervously, and then looked at the emperor.
The emperor was horrified by Master Huizhi's look, but he was not as majestic as before, but looked a bit sickly: "What are you looking at me for? I am very seriously injured now, and I can't see anyone - Chen Danzhu is even missing, but I can't see her after seeing her."
I'll be pissed off immediately."
Master Huizhi laughed and hurriedly directed his disciples and Eunuch Jinzhong standing aside, "Quick, quick, quick, go to my Zen room, Your Majesty and I will hide - no, let's go play Zen chess behind closed doors, no one will be seen."
The emperor also agreed with this opinion. He didn't even bother to sit in the sedan chair and left in a hurry. Eunuch Jin Zhong could only support him.
In the blink of an eye, the backyard was empty.
...
...
Chu Yurong stood at Tingyun Temple, his body stiff.
This feeling only came to him when he went to the battlefield for the first time.
He knew he was in Tingyun Temple, but this was by no means the Tingyun Temple he knew.
There were countless shadows killing him around him.
A ghost place? Can Buddhist holy places also have ghosts?
Chu Yurong wanted to speak, but couldn't make a sound. He looked at the main hall in front of him, and his intuition told him where to go.
Two ghost figures were fighting and rolling past him. Chu Yurong could smell the smell of blood. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He was not afraid of the first time he went to the battlefield that year. Nothing in this world could.
Make him afraid.
Chu Yurong opened his eyes, raised his feet and stepped forward, walking step by step among the fighting ghosts, listening to the ghosts crying and wolf howling, when he reached the main hall, his feet stopped again. There were also two ghosts in the main hall -
But he was not fighting, but lying on the ground, dead.
A woman and a man.
They were all lying on their stomachs, their long hair covering their faces.
However, Chu Yurong felt that he knew these two people.
He reached out and turned over the man first. The man's face was a little unfamiliar, but the outline was very familiar. Soon he remembered Li Liang!
Or Li Liang, who is no longer young.
Well, this woman——
Chu Yurong's chest rose and fell violently, then he lifted the woman's hair, and his breathing froze for a moment.
What he just said was wrong. There are things in this world that he is afraid of.
Danzhu——
"Chu Yurong!"
A female voice came from behind.
Chu Yurong slowly turned his head and saw a girl standing among the ghosts. The girl smiled like a flower and raised her hand to him.
The ghosts in front of me seemed to be dispersed at this moment.
The girl ran towards him, getting closer and closer, and stood in front of him.
It seems that she found something wrong with his expression, and the girl was a little nervous: "What's wrong?"
Chu Yurong looked at her, slowly stretched out his hand and touched her face, giving her a warm and soft touch——
"Chu Yurong, your hands are so cold." Chen Danzhu said, grabbing his hands and rubbing them vigorously, "Are you so afraid of the cold?"
Chu Yurong looked at her, his voice a little stiff: "You——"
Chen Danzhu said: "I passed by Tingyun Temple and wanted to see Master Huizhi. I searched around and couldn't find him." She curled her lips and said, "I know he is hiding again. It's true. I don't know why.
The thing is, he always avoids me."
Perhaps it was because Master Huizhi also saw the ghostly shadows fighting, and—Chu Yurong looked at his feet again. The woman whose hair was brushed away and half of her face was still lying on the ground.
Although his face looked a bit weathered, he could still recognize it at a glance as Chen Danzhu's face.
Her face was pale, dotted with strange red spots, and her face and body were covered with knife wounds.
It must have been very painful for her to die.
Chu Yurong listened to the girl's chatter in his ears and reached out to hug her.
Chen Danzhu was caught off guard, her nose bumped into his arms, and she was almost suffocated by the hoop.
"Chu Yurong, what are you doing?" She coughed and asked, then smiled, "Are you worried that I will regret it?"
Chu Yurong hugged her and felt the soft warmth, smelled the fragrance, and the bloody smell in his nose was driven away. He buried his head in her neck and muttered muffledly.
Chen Danzhu could feel Chu Yurong's nervousness, or fear. She had never seen him like this before - was it just because she stopped halfway and entered Tingyun Temple?
Alas, Chen Danzhu pushed him away slightly, then put her hands on his neck, and stood on tiptoe to press her face against his.
"Chu Yurong, I have always missed you. I have been thinking of you since I left the capital." She said softly, "I am so happy that we are getting married now. I will never leave you again."
Chu Yurong felt that his body and mind were finally freed from the stiffness and pain. He turned his head and kissed the girl's lips.
