Princess, please respect yourself!

Chapter 346 Emperor's Award
When Zhuo Chunfeng entered the West Nuan Pavilion of Changming Palace, he happened to come out with Wei Wuya from the Imperial City Department. The two of them met each other, and he couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart.

Could it be that the news from the Imperial City Division came faster than him?
But no matter how fast it is, it can't be faster than the eagle letter sent to him by Luo Xing...

"Director Wei."

"Master Zhuo."

The two of them just missed each other without any communication. Qixi, the young eunuch beside Emperor Yongxi, also came out: "Director Zhuo, your Majesty invites you."

Zhuo Chunfeng cupped his hands slightly and stepped into Xinuan Pavilion.

Emperor Yongxi sat on the soft floor with a tired look. When he saw Zhuo Chunfeng coming in, he smiled and said, "Zhuo Aiqing is here, please take a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhuo Chunfeng thanked him quickly, "I have something important to report to Your Majesty, but I won't sit down anymore."

"If you have anything to say, Aiqing, just tell me." Emperor Yongxi nodded. Zhuo Chunfeng came into the palace early in the morning, not to have breakfast with him.

"Your Majesty, I just saw Manager Wei. He should have reported to you about the assassination of the fourth prince of Xirong at Anyangdu." Zhuo Chunfeng lowered his head and said, "What I reported is also related to the assassination of the fourth prince of Xirong. However, my story is slightly different. I received an eagle letter early in the morning to greet the envoy Lord Luo Xingluo. In the eagle letter, he reported in detail the assassination of the fourth prince of Xirong and how he led his people to find the assassin's whereabouts, surrounded him, and captured him. The whole process of catching it!”

"Oh, Luo Aiqing reacted so quickly, and the assassin has been arrested and brought to justice?" Emperor Yongxi was worried about how to deal with this matter, when he suddenly heard that the assassin had been arrested and brought to justice, and his face immediately relaxed.

"Master Luo's eagle letter is here with Wei Chen. Please preview it!" Zhuo Chunfeng directly took out the eagle letter that Luo Xing sent him.

"Send it up!" Emperor Yongxi ordered.

Qixi took it from Zhuo Chunfeng and quickly presented it to Emperor Yongxi. After opening it, Emperor Yongxi said with a sad face: "Okay, great, Luo Aiqing has lived up to my expectations!"

"Your Majesty, due to the large number of assassins, I have already sent people to escort Mr. Luo back to the capital." Zhuo Chunfeng bowed and said, "It only takes half a day to travel from Taiping to the capital. We will definitely be able to get back to the capital before sunset today."

"I heard that Luo Aiqing and the emperor's righteous daughter Qingyi are very happy today. If he hadn't delayed his trip by waiting for the fourth prince of Xirong at Tianlang Pass, he would have been in Luojing at this moment." Emperor Yongxi asked.

"Yes, their wedding date has been set long ago, but His Majesty asked him to be the greeter, and he agreed without any hesitation..." Zhuo Chunfeng said.

"Zhuo Aiqing is here to show his merit for Luo Aiqing."

"Your Majesty, our dynasty has always rewarded meritorious deeds and punished delinquents. This time Luo Xing welcomed the envoy and successfully prevented the assassin from assassinating the fourth prince of Xirong. He also captured the assassin and avoided a major crisis. In terms of merit, he should be regarded as Reward." Zhuo Chunfeng said.

"What Aiqing said makes sense, then I will give you a Qilin uniform, a pair of jade Ruyi, and how about raising the Marquis to the second class?"

"Your Majesty, your grace."

"Okay, Qixi, let me pass on the message. Luo Xing is back. There is no need to come to see me today to report. It will not be too late to come to the palace to see me tomorrow afternoon." Emperor Yongxi announced.

"The slaves obey the order."

"Luo Qing is good, Zhuo Qing needs to be well groomed." Emperor Yongxi ordered Zhuo Chunfeng again.

"Wei Chen understands, Wei Chen is leaving." Zhuo Chunfeng was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

……

The official road leading to Luojing was smooth and wide, and the return to the capital was not slow. The fourth prince Xinga also wanted to see the prosperous Luojing earlier, so he did not deliberately create trouble for Luo Xing along the way.

He also seemed to know that if he deliberately delayed time and made Luo Xing miss the time, his life in Luo Jing would not be easy.

It's not worth it if you just come to Luojing and create a powerful enemy for yourself.

How could he act in Luojing if he was constantly being watched by Nanya?

What's more, he already had a grudge against Shang Chen. This guy deliberately revealed this information to him. I'm afraid he had no good intentions.

The seeds of doubt have taken root.

Even so, when we returned to Luojing, it was already the first moment of Youshi, and it was less than an hour before the sun went down.

At the city gate, there were already people waiting to greet them.

The Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple have both sent officials here. Luo Xing's task of welcoming the envoy is basically over here, but he still needs to report to the palace and hand in tasks.

Going to the palace for an audience, the round trip journey, and the time for reporting, I'm afraid it's impossible to do it at any time, but in this case, I'm afraid the auspicious time of the visit has been missed.

Luo Xing had already thought about it. At worst, he would go back to the church to get married first, and then go to the palace to report to the Holy Emperor and hand over the task. If Emperor Yongxi insisted on pursuing this, then he would have to admit it.

"His Majesty has spoken, Luo Xing listens!" Qixi was also at the gate of the city, coming out of the crowd, holding a fly whisk in his hand, and said loudly.

"Wei Chen Luo Xing accepted the order." Luo Xing was a little surprised, but he still dismounted and knelt down.

"When Luo Xing comes back, there is no need to rush to the palace to see him. He should go back to deal with important life matters first, and then go to the palace to see him tomorrow afternoon!" Qixi said.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Luo Xing was overjoyed when he heard this. The emperor was still quite humane and did not force him to go to the palace immediately to report. He gave him nearly a day of grace.

"Master Marquis, go back quickly, don't miss the right time." After Qixi finished delivering the oral instructions, he stepped forward with a smile and stretched out his hand to help Luo Xing up.

"Happy Eunuch, how did your Majesty know that I am getting married today?"

"As I said, Your Majesty wants to know about the things in Luojing City. How can you not know about it?" Qixi smiled slightly.

"Hello, Eunuch, you've got a job." Luo Xing took out a golden ticket and stuffed it in without leaving a trace.

"Brother Qi, you are slapping me in the face. You are getting married today. How can I still collect money from you?" Qixi pushed the golden ticket back, "Your Majesty, please allow me to go to your house to ask for a wedding wine." , is it possible?”

"You can't ask for it." Luo Xing said hurriedly.

"Then I'll take the first step. It's time for the bridal officer to pick up the bride. It's getting late." Qixi chuckled, turned around and left.

Luo Xing left the rest of the matter to Duan Tieniu and others, and quickly walked towards Hu Sanniang and his party who had been waiting at the door for a long time.

They had brought the groom's official attire a long time ago, put it on Luo Xing's carriage, then got on the horse, playing and playing along the way, to the Wuning Marquis Mansion to pick up the bride.

Get married, get married, that is at dusk, when it is almost dark, you can see clearly anyway, bow to the bride, and enter the bridal chamber as soon as your eyes are closed.

Although she had already understood the process, she was still a little confused. However, the Wuning Hou Mansion didn't have to wait long, and the bride herself was anxious about waiting.

He carried the bride onto the sedan chair and headed straight to the Hou Mansion in Jishanfang.

The gate of the Hou Mansion has been renovated, and red lanterns have been hung up. The word "happy" has been pasted on the gate, and the door plaque has also been replaced with a new one, inscribed by Meng Yi himself.

Luofu.

Although the nearby residents knew that there was a happy event in the Luo Mansion today, after all, this used to be the Prince Consort's Mansion and had been abandoned for more than ten years. Suddenly a new owner came and held a happy event as soon as he moved in. Naturally, some people were curious.

But it was almost sunset, and the groom's official was not seen leaving the house to pick up the bride, not to mention that the bride hadn't even entered the house yet.

There were more and more people watching the excitement, and the gate of the Hou Mansion was surrounded by a watertight crowd.

Just when everyone was talking and preparing to watch the joke, they finally heard the sound of blowing and beating to welcome the bride.

This wedding team actually came from somewhere else. When someone discovered it, they couldn't help but whisper and discuss it. It was a bit strange that the groom didn't start from his home for the wedding... Everyone also had different opinions on the identity of the groom. , there are several officials named Luo in the court, but the Marquis named Luo has never been heard of.

Huo Shanzi temporarily acted as the housekeeper. He looked relatively mature. If Ahai was asked to stand at the door, he wouldn't know where to put his hands.

Huo Shanzi has a calm temperament at first glance, and his second-grade martial arts cultivation is enough to scare many people away from making mistakes.

Luo Xing was riding a little green horse, wearing a bright red groom's official wedding dress, and a big red flower on his chest. He was really proud of the spring breeze with his bright clothes and angry horse.

"This groom's officer is really not that good, much worse than so-and-so..."

"I wonder what the bride looks like?"

A group of children jumped in front of the sedan, the suona played a cheerful welcome song, and the flower girl scattered flower petals all the way.

As the groom's official, Luo Xing only looked forward to returning to the Hou Mansion as soon as possible.It's really uncomfortable to be judged like this.

Finally the team arrived in front of the Hou Mansion.

"Today is a happy day for my Marquis. Anyone who visits the neighbors can come and receive a wedding gift. The quantity is limited, first come, first served..." Huo Shanzi announced happily.

"The newlyweds are getting off the sedan!"

Luo Xing got off his horse and walked to the sedan: "Madam, for my husband, I have to lift the curtain of the sedan!"

Qingyi agreed inside.

Luo Xing stretched out his hand to open the sedan curtain, only to see Qingyi, who was dressed in a phoenix crown and garland, sitting in the sedan, holding a fan to cover her face, and lowering her head in shyness.

Luo Xing reached over, gently took Qingyi's hand, slowly walked out of the wedding sedan, and stepped onto the stone steps at the door.

The two of them stepped over the brazier at the door. Huo Shanzi shouted: "When the newlyweds step over the brazier, their happy life will be prosperous!"

Stepping into the main gate and entering the courtyard, someone had already handed over a bow and arrows and three tipless arrows tied with red silk. The three arrows sealed the deal, indicating that there would be no change in the marriage or any regrets.

Along the red carpet, Luo Xing led Qingyi until they walked to Tingtao Pavilion, where the wedding hall was.

The red candle as thick as the baby's arm illuminated the entire wedding hall. Luo Xing led Qingyi and stepped in. Relatives and friends around him also came in one after another and lined up on both sides.

Luo Xing looked around and saw that basically all his friends and acquaintances in Luojing were here. Of course, most of them were from Nanya.

"The newcomer is in place, let's worship the heavens and the earth!"

"Kowtow, God will give you a good match for this life."

Luo Xing and Qingyi faced the door of Xitang, knelt down and bowed down.

"Two kowtows will create a beautiful woman with a phoenix!"

Goodbye, you two!

"Kowtow three times, and heaven and earth will become a perfect alliance between mountains and seas."

"Two thanks to the high hall!"

Luo Xing is an orphan, so he must have parents, but who are his parents, what are their names, and where are they now? No one knows whether he is dead or alive. However, since his parents are not here, it was originally intended to be a memorial tablet and pay homage to it. But Luo Xing felt that it was of little significance, so he might as well worship his master Mengyi and his wife.

Meng Yi couldn't resist and agreed, but Luo Xing insisted that the nine mistresses come together and sit in the hall together to receive their respects from their husbands.

In this way, it has become a good story.

Finally, the couple bows to each other, which is much simpler.

"It's done!" As Huo Shanzi announced, this important event in his life was completed, and Luo Xing breathed a sigh of relief, not missing the final moment.

"Your Majesty has an edict, Nan Ya is in charge, and the third-class Hou Luo Xing will receive the edict!" At this moment, Qixi suddenly took out an imperial edict from his sleeve and shouted in front of everyone.

"Your Majesty, Luo Xing, accepts the order!" Luo Xing was stunned for a moment, but immediately knelt down to receive the order.

"The head of Nanya, the third-class Hou Luo Xing has made great contributions to the court. He is specially given a unicorn uniform. He is promoted to the second class and waits for this. I appreciate this!" Qixi finished reading the imperial edict and reached out to take the unicorn uniform handed over by the little eunuch behind him and handed it to Luo Xing together with the imperial edict. in hand.

"I accept the order and thank you!" Luo Xing raised his hands and took it, thanking him.

"Mrs. Qingyi, it's your turn." Qixi used magic again to take out a scroll smeared with gold and embroidered with Ruihe patterns.

Everyone was shocked when they saw it. This was an imperial edict to confer imperial orders. The Ruihe pattern was at least the fourth-grade standard. Qingyi was a general in Nanya, from the fourth grade.

This is already very rare for a woman, but if she gets another imperial edict, it would be a big deal. Although the Zhou Dynasty does not restrict women from being officials, there are too few people who can be officials and have imperial edicts at the same time. Only the wives of border generals are eligible.

For example, Lin Xiaorou, the wife of Yunyang Hou Qin Zhong, she is a woman who has both an official position and a royal decree. A woman with a royal decree can receive a salary from the court. If she has an official position and a royal decree, it is a double salary!
The first and second-grade imperial decrees are called wives, but not the third-grade and later grades. The third-grade is called a Shuren, and the fourth-grade is a respectful person. As for the familiar Anren, it is only a sixth- and seventh-grade, with Yiren above.

It is not easy for a woman to be an official. Unless you marry into the royal family, it is hard to get a royal title. Even if your husband is a first- or second-rank official, he may not be able to get one right away.

As soon as Luo Xing got married, Qingyi's imperial edict was sealed. This was an extremely rare thing in this dynasty.

Qingyi was named a third-grade lady. Although she was already very high, a height that many women may not reach in their lifetime, there was still room for improvement.

After all, Luo Xing himself was only a second-grade man, only a third-grade man. His wife was granted a third-grade title, which was normal, and a second-grade title, which was weird.

In addition, Emperor Yongxi also rewarded them with a pair of Ruyi jade as a wedding gift. To put it bluntly, it is a beautiful blessing, which may be valuable to ordinary people. To him, unless it is made of top-quality jade, it is An ordinary ornament.

As for other rewards, they are all in accordance with the court's routine, and there is nothing new.

This is understandable, our Majesty is doing this for the first time.

The bride Qingyi thanked her and was sent to her new house. Luo Xing, the groom's official, had to stay and toast the guests. In addition to the woman's parents, other relatives and friends were also present.

Nanya prohibits personal contact with courtiers. Of course, the prohibition is not unreasonable. If you have met and become friends while handling a case or other events, they will not force you to cut off contact. This is too contrary to human nature, especially if it is possible. In the future, if the same palace becomes an official.

However, taking the initiative to make friends with courtiers is not allowed unless it is tacitly approved by the higher-ups. Once found out, dismissal from office is a light matter.

Although it was done in a low-key manner, there were still many guests who came in the evening. Many brothers from Nanya came, from the Jing'an Department in the past and now from the Special Investigation Division. Those who could not come came, even the Governor Zhuo Chunfeng Although he didn't come, the congratulatory gifts were sent over. Secretary Yan Fang was even present in person to toast on behalf of Zhuo Chunfeng. Luo Xing from the Inspection Department didn't want to move at first. After all, he once made a big fuss in the Xicheng Branch, but I also made a lot of friends, and they all came and brought gifts, so I couldn’t help but let people in.

In this way, the originally planned banquet for twenty tables was enough, but now there are more than thirty tables. Fortunately, I was prepared and purchased more than twice as many dishes and drinks, otherwise the wedding banquet in the evening would be really embarrassing. It's really rude to have guests come and not have any food or drinks.

Luo Xing is the groom's official today, and every toast at the table is only a small taste. No one makes trouble at this most critical moment in life.

Therefore, the toasting atmosphere is very harmonious. As for how the wedding drinkers make trouble, as long as they don't make trouble in the wedding ceremony, it doesn't matter.

No one dared to make a fuss. Luo Xing was no longer a junior captain. He was the chief of Nan Ya. He was second in command and had a bright future. He was the only one in Nan Ya. If he dared to make trouble at his wedding banquet, he would be dissatisfied with himself. Will you live longer?

Have you forgotten how the captain Wei Feng died half a month ago?
