Chapter 19: Marriage
After the banquet, Feng Zhao and Yueming were called by Chang Ruojin to the Qin study, which was the place where the Yanlong monarch rested and dealt with the internal affairs of the royal family. After entering the diligent study, Chang Ruojin motioned to the palace people next to him to retreat, and then asked some about the imperial capital and the country of thistle, Fengzhao and Yueming described what they had seen and heard on this trip to Chang Ruojin in a simple and concise manner, especially about the current situation of the country of thistle Yueming particularly focused on telling Chang Ruojin, hearing that the country of this is already a hollow tree, the restrained and calm Chang Ruojin pondered for a long time and then said to Yueming: " Now Yanlong is still a vassal state of the Ji Kingdom, as for what will happen to the Ji Kingdom in the future, no one can predict, but it is now the New Year, according to the custom, Yanlong, Jiang Li, and Xiwu are going to send envoys to the Ji Kingdom to congratulate. After a pause, he then said to Yueming: "This time I went to Chaohe, I decided to send you to lead a delegation as the crown prince, and by the way, I proposed the marriage to Jiguo. Fortunately, Fengzhao and Yueming were prepared in their hearts, so they didn't panic in their hearts, Fengzhao peeked at Yueming, and there was some teasing and snickering in Jun's eyes. And Yueming still had that pale face like water, he muttered slightly for a moment, and then said to Chang Ruojin: "Father, what if the son is unwilling to marry the princess of Jiguo?" Hearing this, Chang Ruojin, who was flat, was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes and looked at Yueming deeply for a long time before he said softly: "The people of the royal family are not willing or not, and they attach importance to the royal family. Hearing this, Ren is expressionless Yueming's face couldn't help but darken, he already knew that as the heir of the royal family, which marriage was as he wished, but he wanted to decide his marriage. "Father, there is still something to be reported by the sons. He then said to Chang Ruojin. "What's the matter?" Chang Ruojin looked at Yueming gently, he knew Yueming's mood at the moment, and he had also faced the same choice as Yueming in marriage. As a father, he understands the pain in his son's heart, but as the heir to the royal family, he must make a choice. "This time, Erchen and the fourth brother met the sixth princess of the Ji country by chance, just because she was playful and willful, and I and the fourth brother secretly followed us back to Yanlong. No matter how calm and restrained Chang Ruojin was in the past, she couldn't help but show a look of surprise when she heard this: "Where are you now?" His always gentle eyes became a little deep and gloomy, and Yue Ming bowed down and replied, "I have arranged her in my mansion for the time being." Chang Ruojin's eyebrows were twisted together, at this time he was thinking about this matter very quickly in his heart, he had already heard of the sixth princess of the Ji Kingdom, and the willful and unruly Ji Huang was helpless against this daughter and had a great headache, and he also knew that if Yan Long and Ji Guo married, it was very likely that Ji Huang would give this daughter to Yan Long to be the future Queen of Yanlong, but he didn't want Yue Ming to marry this girl, but he didn't expect Yue Ming to meet this woman in Ji Country and she also followed Yan Long, it seems that this matter is a little difficult to do. He took a deep look at Yueming, this son, he didn't grow up by his side since he was a child, but he knew that his son was like his father, he knew that Yueming had been thoughtful and cautious since he was a child, and never did useless things, but now when he was in Chaohe, he brought back a sixth princess of the Ji Kingdom, this sixth princess is exactly the woman he didn't want to marry into the Yanlong Palace, so what does this kid mean by doing this? Chang Ruojin turned his head to look at Fengzhao on the side again, Fengzhao looked at his uncle's gaze sweeping towards him, he hurriedly lowered his head, and said in his mouth: " The six princesses were extremely rude and willful, and the retainers really couldn't get rid of him. Little slippery head, Chang Ruojin scolded in her heart. After pondering for a moment, Chang Ruojin asked Yueming lightly: "Tell me your plans." ”
"Returning to his father, Erchen thinks that the top priority is to repair the book Emperor Ji first to inform the six princesses in Yanlong, and say that the six princesses came to Yanlong to visit the mother of the sons, so that the Jihuang will not be angry with Yanlong, and inform Jihuang Yanlong that he will send someone to escort the six princesses back to China. Yueming said eloquently, the wind on the side looked at Yueming who was like a river, this was the first time he heard Yueming say such a long sentence, he knew in his heart what Yueming meant by this: If the six princesses came to see the queen of the east, then the smuggling of the six princesses is not a scandal for the country of Ji, because Yueming's mother, Queen Dong, is the cousin of the current emperor of Ji, that is, the cousin of the sixth princess, and the niece looks at the aunt reasonably, so that the country of Ji will not lose face because of the escape of the six princesses. But if you don't notify the six princesses of Jiguo that they are in Jiguo, once Jihuang learns that the six princesses are Yanlong who fled in the car of the two county kings of Yanlong, then he will definitely be angry with Yanlong, no matter what, the final destination of the six princesses is to marry into Yanlong Wangfu, but if it is the last one, then Yanlong Guofu is very passive. After listening to Yueming's words, Chang Ruojin lowered his head and walked slowly around the house, and after a long time, he turned around and looked at Yueming and asked inconspicuously: "Are you going to marry this girl to be your princess?" Feng Zhao secretly thought in his heart that Jiang was still old and spicy. He was a little hesitant when Yueming in Jiguo intended to let Yan Di get close to the sixth princess, but he couldn't figure out Yueming's purpose for doing that, and now he vaguely felt Yueming's intention for doing this. Yueming's quiet and clear eyes greeted Chang Ruojin without fear: "Yes, if you have to marry the princess of the Ji Kingdom, then Erchen will marry the sixth princess." Chang Ruojin's always peaceful eyes became deep and bright, what did he have plans for this son, he just said that he didn't want to marry, this would not be the sixth princess not to marry, his bottomless eyes looked at the moon carefully. Yueming still looked light and breezy, letting Chang Ruojin look at him up and down, left and right. After watching it for a long time, Chang Ruojin didn't say anything, he felt a little headache, this son was his eldest son, and he was also the most optimistic son, but he really had a feeling that he couldn't master him. He waved his hand helplessly to signal Yueming and Fengzhao to retreat, he believed that his son was excellent and would not do anything unfavorable to Yanlong, even so, he followed his thoughts.
Out of the Qinshu Palace, Feng Zhao and Yue Ming walked side by side, looking at Yue Ming, who was not in a hurry or slow, Feng Zhao's cold eyes flashed with a touch of brilliance, and the thin lips that did not smile often pulled out some schadenfreude: "If you marry the sixth princess, and then marry a princess of the Great Dragon Dynasty, you will be content in this life." Yueming didn't pay attention to him, and still walked in style, with an elegant and free posture. After walking for a while, he stopped and turned his head to Feng Zhaoning, and there was a hint of cunning in his light eyes: "When Chaohe returns, I will mention to my father that I should also find you a princess." After speaking, he turned around and walked slowly, but he added lightly: "I heard that Jiang Li's seventh princess is very beautiful and gentle." The words did not fall, there was a flash of light in the eyes of the wind behind him, he waved his left hand slightly, a strong momentum of air flow went straight to the moonlight, just when the air flow was about to touch the belt of the moonlight, the moon suddenly floated out of a zhang, just at the moment when he just floated out, did not see the wind and what to do, but the figure was already close behind the moonlight, when he was about to grab the moonlight's clothes, the moonlight flew towards the opposite roof, at the moment he jumped and took off, the wind also flew out like a goshawk, the two of them were elegant and free, one was fierce, and the two of them flew around on the top of the palace of the Yanlong Palace, disappeared in a blink of an eye, and the palace people in the palace all looked at the roof with straight eyes, and it took a long time to get back to their senses, thinking that it was the two masters who dared to fly around on the roof of the palace.
In the afternoon, the East King ** came to the Ming County Mansion to secretly pick up the six princesses into the palace, the six princesses pouted and entered the palace unwillingly, if it wasn't for Yueming promising that she would definitely help her and Yan Di, she would not escape from the palace of Jiguo and enter the palace of Yanlong Kingdom, Yueming told her that if she wanted to marry Yan Di, she had to listen to his arrangement. At the same time, a fast horse set off from Yanlong and went straight to Jiguo with a letter written by the monarch of Yanlong to Emperor Ji.
Three days later, Yanlong sent envoys to send the six princesses back to the Ji Kingdom, and when they left, the six princesses went to Fengzhao's mansion to see Yan Di, but Yan Di was sent back to Jing You by Fengzhao to help.
Two days later, Chang Ruojin, the monarch of Yanlong Kingdom, announced Chang Yueming as the crown prince of Yanlong King, and from then on, the Mingjun Palace, was changed to the Prince's Mansion. On the same day, he led a delegation to the country of Ji to congratulate him, and proposed a marriage to the Emperor Ji.
Yueming went to Jiguo to congratulate, Fengzhao didn't go, because he didn't want to show up in the palace of Jiguo now, he didn't want Jihuang to give him another princess, if that, no matter how Ren Chang Ruojin protected him, there was no way to change it. Yueming knew the reason why the wind did not go to the country of thistle, and there was a little mockery on his always plain face. Fengzhao pretended not to see it. After sending Yueming away, Feng Zhao wrote a letter to Limeng, asking him to collect information about the court officials of the Great Dragon Dynasty in the imperial capital and find a way to get acquainted with important officials, and he sent ten dead soldiers to Limeng for him to dispatch, and then he called Jing You and asked him to select some young dead soldiers to go to the country of Ji, where another point was set up. After doing this, Feng Zhao got up and went to the valley where Jing You was located, this valley was behind an unnamed mountain four hundred miles east and west of Yanjing, but because the mountain road was steep and the mountain was craggy and strange, it was difficult for ordinary people to reach the top of the mountain, so Jing You took a fancy to lead everyone to live in the valley behind the mountain. After inspecting the valley, Fengzhao was quite satisfied, but now it was obvious that there were not enough people, so he immediately sent Liancang to various villages to find children with good roots and no parents to bring back to the valley for training.
A month later, Yueming returned to Yanlong, and sure enough, Emperor Ji married the sixth princess to Yueming as his crown princess, and the wedding date was set on the day of the summer solstice when Yueming was nineteen years old.
