Chapter 306 Extra Story: Big Marriage ([-])

The armies going north continued to triumph one after another.At the same time, news of His Majesty's upcoming marriage to the National Teacher spread throughout the country, and with the army, there were also princes and officials from all over the country, and Haojing suddenly became lively.

One month is already short for members of the royal family to prepare for marriage, let alone the object of the big wedding is the monarch and the teacher of the state.However, if one is united and prepared carefully, the courtiers think that there is still time.

From the day the news came out, the early court was cancelled. General state affairs and government affairs were handled by various ministries.The rest of the time is reserved for the monarch's wedding.

In just one month, the Ministry of Etiquette, the Embroidery Room, and the Ceremony Supervisor were busy formulating the wedding procedures, the dresses for the wedding of the monarch and the teacher, and so on.Fortunately, the emperor's order came first, and the wedding was kept simple, so there was no panic in the various ministries, and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Half a month before the big wedding, the three heroes of the Wu land returned triumphantly with an army. For this reason, Ji Qiang and Baiguan held a special banquet for the three of them and the generals, to clean up the dust for them.

Two years of military career has made Chu Lingxiao dark and strong, and the masculinity between his brows is even more masculine. If we say that he was just a hot-blooded good boy before, now he has become a man with strong bones.

Ji Qiang looked at it again and again, feeling happy.In her opinion, not only did her elder brother's eyes turn dark, but he also became cheerful and talkative, as if he was a different person.

The first sentence of the toast is: "I wait on the left and wait on the right. It can be regarded as waiting for your majesty to marry the national teacher. I wish your majesty and the national teacher to sing in harmony in advance and grow old together."

Ji Qiang and Jiang Jian raised their glasses and drank it down.

Bai Fusu also said: "I originally thought that His Majesty and the National Teacher were going to get married two years ago, and the congratulatory gifts were all prepared, but who knows, it has been delayed until today."

Bai Fusu mentioned that two years ago, several people who knew the inside story happened to look at each other. Fortunately, Bai Fusu did not forget his sense of proportion. He only mentioned such a point in time and did not go further. Ji Qiang smiled lightly and said: " Qing is interested. It’s just that I heard that the price of goods in Haojing City has increased slightly compared to two years ago.”

Bai Fusu: "..."

Your Majesty is asking him to give a gift in disguise?

"I know, I know." Bai Fusu laughed awkwardly, and silently closed his mouth under the "gloating" eyes of everyone.

Ban Zhuojia is still as calm as before, easy to speak and smile.Now on the battlefield in northern Xinjiang, the truly invincible general Chang Sheng, who made the people fearful, was staring at a certain place in the banquet in a daze.

Ji Qiang secretly wondered, how long ago, Ban Zhuojia actually developed an admiration for Li Caiwei, the sacrificial wine of the Imperial College?However, Li Caiwei ignored Ban Zhuojia's scorching gaze the whole time, which showed that the husband was affectionate and the concubine was unintentional.

Just when Ji Qiang was thinking to himself, Shen Mianmian and Shen Youyou stood up and toasted her and the national teacher. They had to turn their attention to the two sisters again. Just like this, the monarchs and ministers gathered together, chatting and laughing, and they didn't leave until sunset. .

Jiang Jian wanted to leave some space with his brothers and sisters Ji Qiang and Chu Lingxiao, so he returned to the National Teacher's Mansion early on the pretext of being overwhelmed with alcohol.

After the banquet was over, Ji Qiang really left Chu Lingxiao alone, and the two started talking from Ban Zhuojia.

It is no secret to Chu Lingxiao that Ban Zhuojia has a crush on Li Caiwei.Chu Lingxiao told Ji Qiang that in the past two years, Ban Zhuojia had been very depressed, and he also said that the pain of unrequited love was unspeakable.

Ji Qiang's expression froze when he heard that, and Chu Lingxiao also belatedly realized that his words would inevitably make people think too much, so he added: "Actually, Zhuo Jia didn't reveal his heart to Li Jijiu, and the other party might I have noticed that I always refuse to give him this opportunity. Zhuojia’s depression probably comes from the difficulty of speaking. If the other party gives him a chance to speak out, even if he refuses directly afterwards, I believe that after a long time, Zhuojia will always Figured it out."

"So, brother, have you figured it out yet?"

Chu Lingxiao: "..."

"Does Your Majesty want to listen to the truth?"

"Of course you have to listen to the truth."

"I haven't fully figured it out. However, I saw that your majesty and the national teacher are so happy and happy, and I am very happy for your majesty from the bottom of my heart. In addition, the national teacher is not only the national teacher respected by Daliang, but also the teacher of the minister. For the kindness of knowing you, I respect the national teacher very much, and hope that he can have the joy of ordinary people."

Ji Qiang moistened her eyes, she believed that her brother was telling the truth, and also believed that one day he would be able to be completely happy and find a woman who could make him happy.

……

On the day of the wedding, Ji Qiang got up before dawn to dress up and put on a dress. Princess Yan presided over all the complicated etiquette.

At the time of Mao, Ji Qiang went to the ancestral temple to worship the ancestors, and then led the officials of cultural relics to worship the heaven and the earth at the Temple of Heaven.

By the time the welcoming team leaves from Qinglong Gate and heads to the Imperial Division, the time has come.

The royal driver was led by the King of Wuling, accompanied by Princess Yan. After a short time, the team arrived at the National Teacher's Mansion. After a series of welcoming, prostration, and ceremony, the team set off for Zhuque Street in Haojing at the moment of Shen Shi.

The Red Bird Street has long been crowded with people. Even though the common people know that the monarch’s wedding is a cumbersome festival, and they can’t come here until Shen Shi at the earliest, they are still waiting eagerly in the streets, restaurants and overpasses before dawn.

Fortunately, Shen Wanjiu and a group of wealthy businessmen not only put on various juggling and entertainment programs, but also provided free food and tea.The Jingzhao Yamen and the five city soldiers and horses are guarding it around the clock, so although the streets are extremely lively, there are no criminals.

When the monarch and the national teacher walk down the imperial palace hand in hand, and accept the worship of the subjects like mountains and tsunami, it is the time when the sky is full of sunset.The brilliant rays of the sun cast a layer of golden light on the people in the scarlet dress. In the eyes of the subjects, their king and teacher are simply a match made in heaven.

Ji Qiang looked at the people who couldn't see the end, and with a surge of emotion, she raised her voice and said the word "reward".

As soon as the words were finished, a team of Habayashi came in unison, followed by dozens of carriages pulling goods.The people don't know why, so they dare not panic.Not long after, the carriages gradually passed by, and there were dozens of large baskets on each carriage, which were full of copper coins and shiny silver melon seeds.

The blood of the people was ignited immediately, but none of them dared to move, they just stared eagerly at Habayashi Wei who was carrying the baskets.

When copper coins, silver melon seeds, and silver peas fell like raindrops, the people on both sides of the street boiled to the extreme.

The well-trained Habayashi guards spread evenly and moderately. For those old, weak, sick and disabled who could not be grabbed, they directly grabbed a handful of money and stuffed it into their arms. In this way, the money was scattered , Actually sprinkled out a bunch of humble people.

The young, the strong, and the well-to-do have humbled the poor, the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled.

Ji Qiang was very pleased when he saw it, but Tang Chongjian suffered a lot, and he muttered to himself, "Just say why your Majesty must keep everything simple, and take this opportunity to have fun with the people."

When the bounties of dozens of carriages were all distributed, those who moved more had already received hundreds of copper coins, dozens of silver melon seeds, and those who moved slowly got one or two hundred copper coins, two or three silver melon seeds, silver peas, etc.

The public sentiment was high, and everyone thought that the rewarding session was over, but unexpectedly, the national teacher raised his voice and said the word "reward", and a group of boys from the national teacher's residence came out with baskets.

The amount of rewards was not much, but they were all golden melon seeds and golden beans. The common people knelt down and kowtowed, shouting loudly, "The national teacher is a thousand years old, the national teacher is blessed" and so on.

Ji Qiang leaned slightly, covered his mouth with his hands and said to Jiang Jian: "Sure enough, the national teacher has a high prestige among the people."

Jiang Jian didn't blush, and said without heartbeat: "Husband and wife are one, you and I don't distinguish each other."

Ji Qiang gave him a coquettish look, and continued to watch the boys throwing money.

With the previous experience, the bounty is even more of a national teacher, so the common people are even more restrained in advancing and retreating. Although the golden melon seeds and golden beans that fell on the ground, no one stepped forward to snatch them.
