Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 345
The Cui family really didn't take the matter of admitting relatives seriously.

How serious is it that they are forced to do it?
So a lot of things are perfunctory, there is no luxury or even excitement.

On the side of the Cui family ancestral hall, only a few Cui family members came.

Although these Cui family members came, their eyes were full of impatience, and their faces were not very good-looking.

Early in the morning, people from other aristocratic families also came one after another.

Cui Tong saw that the people from other aristocratic families were all juniors, and they were all not very famous among the juniors, so he couldn't help but raise his face.

Their Cui family doesn't take this seriously, it doesn't matter if they are perfunctory, but if other aristocratic families do this, isn't this looking down on their Cui family and slapping their Cui family in the face?
Cui Tong is a little warm.

"Why didn't Lu Zhanting come?" Cui Tong asked after Lu Dong was caught.

Lu Dong is a fat man who likes to eat very much on weekdays. After being held back by Cui Tong, he was not in a hurry, and even bowed politely, saying: "Master Cui, the head of the Lu family has something to do, so I'm afraid we can't come, so let me My brother Lucy and I came to join us."

Cui Tong frowned. At this time, people from other families also explained one after another.

"My Patriarch occasionally feels cold, so I'm afraid he won't be able to come..."

"My Patriarch's concubine is sick, Patriarch really can't let go, and can't come..."

The members of the aristocratic family said each sentence one by one, and after they finished speaking, they couldn't help but want to snicker, but when they looked up and saw Cui Tong's tense face, they suppressed the smile again.

Cui Tong looked at these people, feeling really angry in his heart, but there was no reason to express his anger, so he could only bite his lip and said fiercely: "If you don't come, don't come."

As he said that, he didn't bother to talk to the juniors of these aristocratic families.

The juniors of these aristocratic families were happy to be free, and chatted with each other, of course it was Concubine Yin De.

"This Concubine Yin De's mother is really from the Cui family?"

"Hey, it's hard to say."

"Is it hard to say, or not to say?"

After hearing these words, the members of the Cui family turned pale and purple, and they faintly wanted to explode with anger.

Time is slow, the autumn wind is already cool.

At noon, Concubine Yin De entered the Cui Family Ancestral Hall with a guard of honor. After she entered, she saw that there were only a small number of people in the Ancestral Hall, and only a few juniors from other aristocratic families came, so her expression changed immediately.

Today, she came to meet her relatives, and there were only so few of them, which really didn't give him face.

However, Concubine Yin De also knew that the temper of these aristocratic families was going to make a big fuss. The Cui family said they didn't want her, and they really might not want her, so although she felt unhappy, she still endured it.

After the marriage recognition ceremony is over, she will settle the score with the Cui family.

The recognition ceremony was originally very cumbersome, but because it was Concubine Yin De, it was simplified a lot. After going back to the source, she gave Concubine Yin De an identity, and then added Concubine Yin De's name to the genealogy, and then Concubine Yin De concubine put a candle in the ancestral hall. Xiang, kneeling and prostrating, this confession is considered complete.

It's just that even for such a brief matter, the people of the Cui family seemed a little impatient, and from time to time, they would roll their eyes at Concubine Yin De.

From their point of view, Concubine Yin De's situation is like a child from outside. They have to recognize their ancestors as their ancestors. They are superior and look down on this child very much.

The recognition ceremony was finally over, when Concubine Yin De left, she gave Cui Tong a glare, and before she returned to the palace, she sent someone to pass the news to the East Palace.
-
In the East Palace, after the recognition ceremony was over and the guests left one after another, Cui Tong hurried to the East Palace to report the situation to Li Jiancheng.

"Your Highness, everything has been done as you said."

Li Jiancheng sat in the living room, took a sip of tea, then raised his head and glanced at Cui Tong, his eyes were a little cold, Cui Tong couldn't accept it all at once.

Everything has been done according to what Li Jiancheng said, why doesn't he look very happy?
It's really hard to be a human being, Cui Tong thought, but he didn't dare to talk too much.

"Concubine Yin De has indeed recognized her relatives, but the crown prince heard that your recognition ceremony is very perfunctory, and the heads of other aristocratic families did not go, what's going on?"

Hearing this, Cui Tong secretly groaned, but still bit the bullet and explained: "His Royal Highness, this matter is not my fault. I can't control the heads of those aristocratic families whether they come or not. Moreover, time is tight, and many things are out of control." It is already very good to be able to prepare in time and complete it in such a short period of time.”

Cui Tong complained, but Li Jiancheng just showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth. In fact, the Cui family was not happy, and he was perfunctory about the confession. He knew very well that no one would be happy about this matter, so what Cui Tong said was naturally an excuse.

But what he wanted was an excuse, or an attitude from Cui Tong.

The Cui family has a strong foundation, and he still needs to rely on the Cui family, but he can't indulge them too much. Sometimes it is necessary to find something to warn them.

As long as Cui Tong is willing to explain, it means that Cui Tong still recognizes him as the master, that's fine.

"The matter this time is indeed hasty, but there will be orders in the future, so don't slack off."

"Yes, I would like to follow the teaching of the prince."

After saying this, the crown prince said again: "Tomorrow, the crown prince will ask someone to propose Concubine Yin De as queen. Your people should also support it. As long as this can be done, the benefits of your Cui family will be indispensable."

Today's Cui Tong has no better choice. He has already boarded Li Jiancheng's thief ship, so he can only quickly respond: "His Royal Highness, don't worry, everything is under the orders of His Royal Highness."

After finishing the arrangements, Cui Tong hurriedly left the East Palace.

As soon as Cui Tong left, Song Gongqing rushed back from the outside.

"Mr. Song, how is the arrangement?"

"His Royal Highness, everything has been properly arranged. In the early morning court tomorrow, someone will propose to make Concubine Yin De the empress. However, this kind of matter will definitely not be settled in an early court. I went to Pei Ji's house and made some arrangements for him."

Song Gongqing has always been very thoughtful about these matters, so Li Jiancheng naturally had nothing to say about this, he nodded: "Okay, as long as this matter can be accomplished, this prince will mark your great contribution, and when this prince ascends the throne as emperor Afterwards, you will definitely be granted the title of Marquis and Duke."

All along, Li Jiancheng has never made any promises to Song Gongqing, but now under such circumstances, he still needs to make some wooing to Song Gongqing.

After Song Gongqing heard this, he was also happy, but he still said: "Thank you, Your Highness, but after His Royal Highness ascended the throne, he can be diligent in governing and loving the people, and build the Tang Dynasty better. , I don't care."

"Mr. Song is really high-spirited, don't worry, the crown prince promised you that, from now on, I, Tang Dynasty, will surely dazzle the whole world..."
