Marry first and then fall in love with the young emperor.

The old lady wanted to choose a wife for her grandson Xuan Qi. After reading the Book of Daughters and hundreds of daughters from aristocratic families, she shook her head and said no.
"What kind of girl do you prefer?" A concubine asked.
Xuan Qi passed by and listened for a while, then jumped in and said, "She must be a good girl who is virtuous, graceful, and good at speaking. She will be famous throughout the ages, and she is a good girl who is calm and quiet."
Everyone burst into laughter, and the old lady stopped him: "Then what do you want?"
"Beautiful," he said.

The poet Zhou Qingmiao returned to Beijing with his daughter and stayed at the mansion of his eldest brother Qingyun.
The eldest brother, the official, has become a big man, and the dignified Taiwei family has a family of three hundred people. They are all "careful" and "interested" in the father and daughter who have been away for many years. However, the poet had a big belly and a short drinking capacity, so he poured three glasses and two glasses of light wine on the couch and fell asleep, leaving his daughter to cope with it.
The only daughter of the poet is named Jiangxue. She is eighteen years old, and she behaves in a measured manner. She is well liked by the elders as soon as she appears on the scene. They all praise her as "an honest and quiet good girl!"
Her peers and juniors also loved to hang around her. She had walked halfway through the world. The mountains and rivers she had visited and the anecdotes she had experienced all attracted this group of young ladies and gentlemen who had never even left home or the capital. They all said:
"The new cousin is really a wonderful person. She is like a novelty painting book that can never be turned over, but she is not beautiful."
Not only is it not beautiful, it can be said to be plain. He has plain eyebrows and a plain charm, and if he is not tall and tall, his face is fairly fair, and he would not be found in a crowd.
…
The "not pretty" "good girl" Zhou Jiangxue has been selected to be the queen!
All the families in the family were in an uproar. Only the young girls and boys of the Zhou family expressed their regrets: Xuan Qi was taken advantage of!
Xuan Qi: No, does anyone care about my feelings?
***
At first glance, Xuan Qi knew that she was not a good, quiet and quiet girl. Sure enough, as time went by, her true nature was revealed. She was good at playing Liubo, and her laughter and curses were heartbreaking. No matter how bad she was, she was clearly a precious girl!
But for Zhou Jiangxue, whether it is a treasure or a pu willow, this praise is not a great honor, she is just herself.

*Daily life after marriage ① (especially many, released from time to time)
After leaving the morning court, the emperor hurried to Qilin Palace, "Where is Zhou Jiangxue, why don't you come to greet her personally?"
The young eunuch: "For your information, Your Majesty, Dr. Fan, the Qintian Supervisor, came early in the morning to invite the queen to come and see his newly carved clepsydra—"
Xuan Qi pulled out the Emperor's Sword from the wall: "Fan Shicheng, the thief, let go of my wife!"
*Daily life after marriage②
The emperor and empress left the palace incognito, and met one or two robbers on the way.
Xuan Qi: "Madam, please leave first to report to the official, so that I can stand in the way for my husband!"
Zhou Jiangxue: "... Didn't His Majesty often say that the emperor does not sit in the throne room?"
Xuan Qi: "Before the Emperor, I will still be your husband-in-law!"
Zhou Jiangxue: "Then give in and let me do it!"
Purpose: Love will clear away all grudges and prejudices
