Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 1009 The Big Wedding

May 16th is the wedding day of the Dian King of Chu Hai.

The night before that day, he slept in the East Fifth Room of the palace. Before dawn, he was dressed in red auspicious clothes under the service of the palace maid.

When I came out, I saw a room full of brothers and nephews waiting there.

"Okay, okay, let's go!" Zhu Xiongying and a group of eight or nine-year-old princes shouted excitedly when they saw the groom's official coming out.

Then a large group of descendants of the Zhu family, surrounding the groom, went to Qianqing Palace to kowtow and say goodbye to their father, emperor and mother.

Lao Liu originally planned to come out of Qianqing Palace and go to Wan'an Palace to kowtow to his mother and concubine, but he didn't expect that Concubine Hu was also in Qianqing Palace.

Empress Ma specially ordered the palace officials to set up a dragon chair on each side of Zhu Yuanzhang's throne. She and Concubine Hu sat on the left and right of the emperor to accept her son's kneeling.

This is an honor that has never been achieved before. King Qi got married last year, and Concubine Da Ding did not expect to be on an equal footing with the Queen. But Concubine Hu was more valuable than her son, and the queen was willing to promote her. Concubine Da Ding could only silently envy and hate her in her heart.

Zhu Zhen was also very happy. In fact, at first he only recognized Concubine Hu as his mother-in-law, but Empress Ma was so kind. Now in his heart, compared with that indistinguishable mother-in-law, she really couldn't tell them apart. It’s clear who is lighter and who is heavier.

But they are both biological mothers, so there is no need to distinguish them so clearly.

After Lao Liu agreed, Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "Even if all three of them are princesses, you still have priorities in your mind. If there is no one who has the final say, your harem will be in chaos."

This is the most legendary wedding of the sixth prince, and he is marrying three princesses on the same day. Who wants to miss this kind of scene? Not only the people of Nanjing City, but also the gentry and people of Su Songchang Town, Hangjiahu, and even people who came across the river from Fengyang and Huai'an rushed to Beijing several days in advance just to witness this unprecedented wedding.

"Go ahead. Go early and come back early." Zhu Yuanzhang and his wife smiled and nodded.

The gambling houses in Jinling City also joined in the fun and offered various odds for this wedding. Among them, the amount of bets on the order of the bridegroom's wedding was as high as one million dollars. I don't know whether the people of the Ming Dynasty had a strong gambling habit, or whether it was just a matter of watching the excitement.

"Why are you talking about this on such a happy day?" Queen Ma rolled her eyes at him and smiled at Concubine Hu: "What do you have to say to us, sister?"

"Yes, brother." Lao Liu responded and said again: "Father, the emperor, mother, stepmother and concubine, I have gone to pick up the princess."

"You, a father, don't understand." Queen Ma wiped her tears and said, "Can a mother not feel uncomfortable when she leaves her son to her daughter-in-law?"

He knelt in front of the three of them. After four bows, Queen Ma told him to love the three princesses and keep a bowl of water level.

"Okay, okay, the auspicious time has arrived." Zhu Biao smiled and pulled up Lao Liu and said, "Let's go."

~~

The palace was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, turning it into a sea of ​​joy. Outside the palace, the streets were deserted, even more lively than the Shangyuan Lantern Festival.

Empress Ma also wiped away her tears, which made Boss Zhu stunned for a moment: "It's such a great thing to have an imported child in our family, why are you crying?"

"According to the decree." Zhu Zhen solemnly kowtowed to his father, the emperor, his mother, his stepmother and his concubines, stood up and exited the golden palace. Surrounded by his brothers and nephews, he got on a white horse, and under the guidance of a grand guard of honor, he marched out of the Forbidden City.

After saying that, he looked at Queen Ma flatteringly: "Right?"

"No, no..." Concubine Hu wiped away her tears, unable to speak in a coherent manner. "The brat finally got married, woo hoo..."

Of course, there are also people who want to cause trouble for this wedding, but Jin Yiwei has been on high alert for a long time. On the day of the wedding, officials from Jinyiwei, Yingtianfu, Shangyuan County, and Jiangning County were all out, staring at the only way His Royal Highness the King of Chu must pass to welcome the bride. They were on guard and guarded to nip all hidden dangers in the bud.

Of course, today's Ming Dynasty is boss Zhu's one-word hall. Whether civil servants, military generals, Confucianists, or cults, everything has been dealt with and obeyed, and no one dares to make a fuss... Occasionally, there are clowns, that is, It's no longer enough.

~~

Surrounded by thousands of people, the wedding team arrived at the Dingyuan Hou Mansion on Zhuque Street. Seeing that the first stop for picking up the bride was the Wang family, a burst of disappointed sighs broke out from the crowd. Because the gamblers either guessed that the groom would go to Duke Wei's mansion first, or they guessed that he would go to Uncle Chengyi's mansion first. I guess he came to Dingyuanhou Mansion first, but he was the least.

But Lao Liu came here first...

Zhu Zhen didn't know that he had caused many people to lose money. It was he who insisted on picking up Run'er as the King of Dian first.

There is no other reason. Run'er is too weak, so we need to give her some support.

At this time, Yin Li knelt down and asked His Highness the King of Dian to dismount and led him to the scene.

Then Gao Xin, the Minister of Rites, and Song Guogong, who officiated the wedding, entered the main hall first and stood on the east and west sides.

The salute officer then said in a long voice: "The king of Dian is here to greet you."

Two female officials in costumes led the Duke of Song to meet the King of Dian outside the tent.

The King of Dian was led out of the tent by two servants wearing python robes.

Duke Guo of Song then bowed and said in a deep voice: "Please invite the King of Dian to enter the middle hall."

The King of Dian went first, followed by the Duke of Song, and the internal officials came to the middle hall with gifts.

Wang Bi and Yang sat in the hall with some apprehension.

According to etiquette, he and his wife should stand at the bottom of the hall. But when the etiquette was formulated, Xu Da was seated and Liu Bowen was also seated, so Queen Ma also asked Wang Bi and his wife to sit down.

Seeing His Highness salute to him in a proper manner under the guidance of Song Guogong, Wang Bi was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear. He is the happiest person about today's wedding. He finally married his daughter to Lao Liu, and in the capacity of a princess, it can be said that he is living up to his will.

Then, two female deacons led Princess Dian out from behind the screen.

I saw Wang Run'er wearing a Jiuzhai crown, a red shirt, a cyan Luan and Phoenix pattern Xiapei, a jade belt, holding a jade gui, and an out-and-out princess dress.

She is quite tall, has practiced martial arts for many years, and has excellent manners. She looks particularly good in this luxurious and elegant princess dress. It's just that she is a bit shy by nature and is not used to such public occasions; she is leaving her parents to get married again, so it is inevitable that she will tremble slightly with nervousness.

Feeling Wang Run'er's nervousness, Zhu Zhen smiled at her, stretched out his broad palm, and held her little hand.

Everyone present was stunned. After attending so many weddings, this was the first time they saw the groom holding the bride's hand as soon as she came up.

"Okay!" A group of brothers and brothers shouted excitedly, but they all sounded like booing.

Gao Xin, the Minister of Rites, and other scholars secretly shook their heads, how unreasonable!

Song Guogong showed admiration in his eyes. He finally understood why several girls were completely devoted to Lao Liu. Jie Nima was a saint of love.

Wang Bi and his wife are naturally happy that His Highness treats his daughter well.

Feeling the warmth coming from her palms, Wang Run'er suddenly became less nervous and stood shyly side by side with Lao Liu, accepting all kinds of looks from everyone.

Under the wide sleeves, the two of them had their fingers intertwined.
