Chapter 117 Friend

Princess Heng smiled happily, said a few more words to Xue Rou and left it.

Li Xuerou was sent outside the door, and the two beautiful maids accompanied her to congratulate each other: "Congratulations to His Highness the Princess."

Li Xuerou nodded calmly and turned back to the boudoir.

After entering the room, a beautiful maid asked in confusion: "Your Highness the Princess is not happy to receive the title and marriage."

Li Xuerou sat on the embroidered chair and whispered: "It is not necessarily a good thing to be awarded the title of princess. The county lord of the royal family and Fufeng Marquis can accept it, but it may not be the honor of the princess. Moreover, the title of princess by Your Majesty is clearly regarded as a chess piece."

"I think it's a good thing to be named a princess," the beautiful maid retorted.

Xue Rou smiled faintly and sighed in her heart: "What's the use of a princess? I'm afraid she's not as good as the county magistrate's daughter Jin Gui. The Marquis of Fufeng may be afraid and stay away from him."

Three days after the queen replied, Zongzheng Temple sent someone to pick up Li Xuerou.

In accordance with etiquette, he was officially enthroned, issued imperial edicts, multiple seals, ceremonial guards and princess clothing, and established the office of the Princess's Office, which was actually a false place.

When he returned to Prince Heng's Mansion, the next morning, Li Xuerou sent someone to Li Yan's mansion's house and picked up Jiu Niang to speak.

Jiuniang was taken to Prince Heng's Mansion. Li Xuerou received the report and went to the courtyard gate to greet her in person.

When the two girls met, Li Xuerou found that Jiu Niang looked a little haggard.

Jiu Niang was calm and said respectfully: "Greetings to Your Highness, Jiu Niang congratulates sister."

Li Xuerouyu held Jiuniang with her hands and said softly: "My sister talks in her room."

Entering the boudoir together, Li Xuerou sent everyone away and sat diagonally opposite Jiu Niang.

Li Xuerou looked at Jiuniang and said softly: "My sister should know about Your Majesty's marriage to Marquis Fufeng."

Jiu Niang nodded calmly, and Li Xuerou said softly: "To reason, my sister is ashamed of her sister."

Jiu Niang whispered: "Sister has said it, I have nothing to do with Fufeng Hou."

"Does my sister really care?" Li Xuerou said in surprise.

Jiu Niang nodded and whispered: "Fufeng Hou was originally a marriage between Sisi Niang. My second uncle forced me to be with Sisi Niang. In fact, my mother and I were not willing."

Li Xuerou nodded, and Jiuniang said again: "I am friendly with my sister and don't care about my sister's marriage with Fufeng Marquis. But I don't understand why my sister likes Fufeng Marquis? I heard from my mother that Princess Heng took the initiative to ask the Queen for the marriage."

Li Xuerou smiled bitterly with red lips and asked back: "Why don't my sister like Fufenghou?"

Jiu Niang hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't like rude and rude people."

Li Xuerou said softly: "My sister knows that her sister likes talented people. In fact, there are very few real talented people, most of whom are flashy cowards. There are many scholars in Chang'an City, and few who can be majestic and unyielding."

Jiu Niang was silent, and Li Xuerou said again: "Don't think that my sister is extreme. During the Huang Chao Rebellion, my sister had seen too many nobles and officials. She abandoned her wife and daughter in order to escape her life, and knew people and face but not the heart. Only when the disaster was coming can we see that the warrior was a chivalrous and tender warrior."

"Sister just thinks Fufeng Hou, a chivalrous and gentle warrior?" Jiuniang asked in a tone.

Li Xuerou smiled bitterly and said, "The Warriors say that there are many differences. My sister asked her why she liked Fufeng Hou. In fact, it cannot be said that she liked him, but she was helpless. In two months, my sister was nineteen, and there were very few nobles who were willing to marry her."

Jiu Niang was gentle, Li Xuerou said again: "My sister met Fufeng Hou that day, and then she talked to Sisi Niang,

Fourteenth Lady said she once wanted to go to Quchi, and Fufeng Hou took time to accompany her to visit Quchi, and then repaired Quchi."

"Quchi was repaired according to the order," said Jiu Niang.

After hearing Jiu Niang's innocent response, Li Xuerou shook her head and said, "Your Majesty's own palace is unable to be repaired. The thoughtfulness and the repair of Quchi are obviously the request of the Marquis Fufeng."

Jiuniang was silent, and Li Xuerou whispered again: "Sister decided to choose Fufenghou, and she was eager to obtain protection."

Jiu Niang looked at Li Xuerou with a surprised expression, wondering what Li Xuerou had to worry about, and asked, "Sister, have you encountered some crisis?"

Li Xuerou shook her head and said, "There is no crisis at present, but there have been many wars in Chang'an City. I heard that Fengxiang Jiedushi, Xuanwu Army Jiedushi, and Hedong Jiedushi are becoming more and more powerful. Chang'an City is like the lonely city of the emperor during the Warring States Period, in a storm."

"The court also has tens of thousands of troops." Jiu Niang said nervously.

Li Xuerou shook her head and said, "Ten thousand mobs. In the past, the imperial army attacked Hedong. It is said that the 1,000 troops in Hedong defeated the 10,000 troops in the court. Only the Fufeng Army caused the Hedong Army to suffer losses and could still leave Hedong safely."

Jiuniang's charming face changed slightly, and Li Xuerou said again: "Sister, Fufeng Marquis is definitely not a reckless person, otherwise it would be impossible to be safe in Hedong. My sister thinks that Fufeng Army smashed the door and hit the Daming Palace must have a deep meaning."

"What is the deep meaning?" Jiu Niang asked.

"Crashing against the Ming Palace may be to vent his anger. Breaking the door is to protect the Li Mansion and prevent the Li Mansion from being vented by His Majesty." Li Xuerou replied.

Jiu Niang looked at Li Xuerou in a daze, feeling incredible.

Li Xuerou said again: "To vent his anger and hit the Daming Palace, it means that Marquis Fufeng cares about his marriage with Li's mansion, but he is also worried that His Majesty will vent his anger on Li's mansion. If Marquis Fufeng really wants to retaliate against Li's mansion, it will not only smash the door, but at least rush into the mansion and kill many people."

Jiu Niang turned her head and whispered: "My sister gave the marriage to Fufenghou, so she naturally spoke for him."

Li Xuerou smiled bitterly and said, "Sister doesn't want to listen. Sister will say that Fufeng Hou's military evacuation from Chang'an City may indicate ominousness. Sister is worried and wants to leave Chang'an City to take refuge."

"Refusal?" Jiu Niang said in surprise.

Xue Rou nodded and said, "Chang'an is no longer a good place, and the attention of all directions may be that war will not be far away."

"Does sister go to southern Sichuan? I'm afraid the barbarians in southern Sichuan are even more uneasy." Jiu Niang retorted.

"Southern Sichuan is a barbarian land, but my sister think about it. Since the Anshi Rebellion, every time there was a war in Chang'an, why did His Majesty's visit be Bashu?" Li Xuerou said softly.

Jiuniang was slightly stunned and said, "His Majesty the Emperor went on tour to Chengdu, Xichuan, and southern Sichuan was very far away from Chengdu."

"Southern Sichuan is far away from Chengdu, but it belongs to the Bashu area. Southern Sichuan is a barbarian land, but the barbarian forces are much weaker than the Central Plains and the vassal states within the Pass. The current chaos in the Central Plains and Huainan has caused a large number of refugees to flee to Bashu to survive." Li Xuerou said.

Jiu Niang shook her head and said, "Those things have nothing to do with us."

Li Xuerou said softly: "It doesn't matter at the moment. My sister is simple. She wants to find a place to settle down in southern Sichuan and be able to live there in the future. My sister hopes that Chang'an City will always be peaceful."

Jiu Niang was silent, Li Xuerou whispered again: "Fufeng Hou was originally a sister's marriage. Although something happened, if the younger sister likes Fufeng Hou, she is still the wife of Fufeng Hou. The older sister is willing to sit on the same position as her sister.

.”

Jiu Niang shook her head quickly and said, "Sister, don't talk nonsense, I really don't like Fufeng Hou."

Li Xuerou opened her mouth, and Jiuniang said anxiously again: "Sister, I'm telling the truth. If I care about Fufeng Hou, how could I come to see my sister?"

Xue Rou said softly: "What my sister is saying is the truth, my sister means that my sister cannot find a talented person who is worthy of. I can write to my sister. My sister recognizes that you are the wife of Fufeng Hou."

Jiu Niang wanted to speak but stopped and smiled bitterly: "Thank you sister, I've recorded it."

Li Xuerou said sadly: "My sister left Chang'an City in a few days. It may be difficult to see her again after parting with her sister. My sister advised her to not insist on paying attention to the origin of noble officials. In the troubled times, that would not be of much significance."

Jiu Niang nodded, her delicate face showed sadness. She was quiet and in her relationship with her classmates, only Li Xuerou, the close friend, was so hard to see her again. She felt sad and reluctant to leave her.

......

Jiu Niang returned home and was called to ask by her mother. Jiu Niang knew that her mother was not happy about Xue Rou's marriage to Fufenghou, so she spoke to Xue Rou's explanation.

Mrs. Li Ji shook her head after hearing this and said, "Xuerou is scheming, she shouldn't be against you."

"Sister Xue Rou has not had a match with her daughter, so it is really difficult for her to choose a husband. Sister Xue Rou gets married to Fufeng Hou and can take care of the Fourteenth Lady." Jiu Niang said.

Mrs. Li Ji's face was gloomy and silent. Jiu Niang asked in confusion: "Mom, have you ever said you don't like the marriage of Fufeng Hou?"

Mrs. Li Ji was helpless and felt distressed in her heart.

Since the Fufeng Army smashed the door, the old nobles or officials' wives were obviously alienated. She took the initiative to visit and planned to ask the media to find her daughter's in-laws' house. Then some knew that some were polite and some were hesitant.

After asking, Mrs. Li Ji found out that she was afraid of being retaliated against by Fufeng Hou in the future. Once marriage is made, it may cause disaster. The people of Chang'an who have experienced wars are most afraid of provoking the brutal generals holding military power.

Another thing that Mrs. Li Ji was suffering from, her husband ignored her love and went out early and came back late every day and listened to wandering around, and she was obviously depressed.

Mrs. Li Ji asked her daughter to leave, thinking that after a while, the bad influence of the Fufeng Army smashing the door should be weakened, and her husband could get rid of his frustration and restore his mentality as a Beijing official before going to Fuzhou.

......

At the end of March of the first year of Jingfu, Li Xuerou, who was granted the title of Princess of Jiangcheng, set off to leave Chang'an City and ran to the Xingyuan Mansion of Hanzhong under the escort of a hundred Shence troops.

After leaving Chang'an City for one day, he suddenly turned southeast to Wuguan Road.

The one hundred Shen Ce Army who were guarding him came from the short-term military force of King Heng. He reported to the princess's mansion that he had belonged to the 100 troops, and the one hundred troops who belonged to him were all maroons.

The two thousand military forces belonging to King Heng are basically like a mob of troops training in regiments.

The emperor accepted Du Rangneng's suggestion and intended to borrow the financial resources of the kings to improve the military strength and some supplies of Chang'an City.

The princess was granted a title, and according to the Tang Dynasty ritual system, the princess was able to open a palace.

Li Xuerou obtained the imperial seal for the enthronement of the princess, as well as a series of civil and military officer seals, from the seventh-rank princess order, from the eighth-rank princess chief, from the ninth-rank record, from the ninth-rank school captain.

Li Xuerou only serves as two ninth-rank captains in the Princess' Mansion, namely the two team leaders who have been to the place.

Princess Heng once recommended a house slave for other official positions, but Li Xuerou politely rejected it because of those official positions, it is best to let Fufeng Hou be the master.
