In January of the 33rd year of Emperor Anping, the emperor issued three holy decrees, one was the decree of the crown princess, and the Ministry of Rites was ordered to step up a series of ceremonies to determine the arrangement, the second was for Princess Rongxian to marry Zhuang and build the princess's mansion, and the third was for the third lady of the Naliu family of King Rong to be the side concubine.

The three wills are in no particular order, and the wedding date is also urgent, but no matter who it is, they can't cross the prince's side, so the Ministry of Rites is busy with the prince's wedding first.

On the 23rd day of the first lunar month, it is advisable to marry, sacrifice, pray for blessings, ask for heirs, break ground, meet relatives and friends, raise the foundation, build warehouses, collect livestock, shepherd, open toilets, enter the population, and go to the auspicious day.

With a stroke of his pen, the emperor determined the date of the official marriage, Duan Jinrui remained silent, but it was also a tacit acquiescence, which made Zhuang Lijue, who had always been worried that he would be impulsive, even more unreassured, and always felt that there was a kind of strange tranquility before the storm.

On the twenty-third day of the first lunar month, Duan Jinrui was dressed in a bright red robe, with a four-clawed dragon pattern crown on his hair, and on top of the robe, the golden dragon was lifelike, reflecting the whole person, all of whom had a different spirit.

Tong Zhen had already dressed up, and when Duan Jinrui arrived with the honor guard, she vaguely saw the man's figure through the gap in the hijab from a distance, and quietly pursed her lips and chuckled.

"The prince looks better today than ever! No wonder my son doesn't marry ...... if he is not a prince."

Princess Changle, who was accompanied by Tong Zhen, had a kind smile on her face, even if she and her daughter were separated by a layer of hijab, she could imagine the joy of the other party now, knowing her daughter Mo Ruonu, she sincerely hoped that her daughter could get what she wanted, and not waste the efforts she had made.

"Mother, what do you say?"

Tong Zhen whispered embarrassedly, in the past, she was never embarrassed to talk about these things with her mother, and she pursued them if she liked them, but today, the girl's heart began to understand shyness.

Duan Jinrui has already arrived, and first met with Princess Changle, although the marriage is not what he really wants, but when the matter comes, the etiquette that should be there has not been forgotten.

Princess Changle smiled, explained a few words to Duan Jinrui, and withdrew from the two young people.

"Brother ...... Prince"

Silently, Tong Zhen stretched out his slender hand and put it on the big hand handed over by the man.

Helping the bride to get on the sedan chair, Duan Jinrui turned over and got on the horse, and when he turned around, a red light hung with colors, reflecting the cold eyes, but it was only reflected, not melted.

The East Palace is very well arranged, the huge palace is the only one in the Qianyuan Palace, the palace where the emperor lives, the furnishings inside look light and simple, which is very in line with Duan Jinrui's taste, but in fact they are all priceless treasures.

Taking advantage of the prince's wedding, the powerful ministers who had only been fortunate enough to hear about it before and had not been there quietly looked at it a few times, and they had already assessed a rough idea, it seems that His Royal Highness the prince's seat is still very stable, not to mention the sandalwood screen that exudes a faint fragrance, the huge priceless pearls of the South China Sea, and the Bogu shelf full of treasures.

There is also a thousand gold horses of the tangram silk yarn, the ladies in the palace are also rare to have a good thing, but also made the curtain tents that can be seen everywhere in the main hall, the main hall of the banquet, the prince's bedroom, a concubine and two side concubines of the palace, these palaces are rested, the powder is bright and gorgeous, the red veil flies with the movement of the palace maids, and the ornaments of Lingding flash out a piece of dazzling luster.

is so favored, when Duan Jinrui walked with the bride on the other end, the auspicious words in everyone's mouths poured towards him as if they didn't want money, and the expression on the groom's face was faint, no sadness or joy, but compared to those outsiders, he was the most like an outsider.

Duan Jinrong looked at this gorgeous palace, looked at the elder brother of the stars and the moon, and clenched his fists, these should all be his, his mother is the highest ranking among the emperor's existing concubines, the mother is more precious than the son, and the son is also more precious than the mother, he should be the most noble prince in the palace, why did Duan Jinrui get everything he dreamed of without doing anything? The favor of his father, the monstrous power, the noble wife, and, the heartwarming lover.

These should be his, they are his! If the nails weren't extremely smooth, I'm afraid they would have already made a cut: "Your Highness! ”

There was a soft shout from beside him, it was Mu Wuxian, as a subordinate of King Rong, he was also fortunate to follow him to watch the ceremony today.

Duan Jinrong's voice was very low, except for Mu Wuxian, no one else could hear it: "No guilt, where is this king worse than him?" ”

Duan Jinrong smiled and looked at his brother who grew up with him, obviously with a cold face that would make everyone feel uncomfortable, but everyone was unconscious, and came up like a sadist, with resentment in his eyes.

"The prince is smart and capable, humble and self-conscious, and has wealth, and all the ministers are praised!"

Mu Wuxian's words are not for flattery, but from the bottom of his heart, Duan Jinrong is actually a person and has a lot of success, but, except for those who are closest to him or people like Duan Jinrui who have grown up together since childhood, no matter who they are, they will praise King Rong so much, they are well-behaved, extremely kind, smart and eloquent, simple and humble, Duan Jinrong has lived for twenty-one years, and since he has a memory, he has asked for himself like this, that is, the emperor insisted that Duan Jinrui be the crown prince, Duan Jinrong's side, it is not that no one is available, from the dragon's work, Everyone wants it, and a master with a kind personality and good talk is obviously much easier to serve than the kind of master who can't rub sand in his eyes and is ruthless and decisive.

However, Duan Jinrong asked himself that he was no worse than Duan Jinrui everywhere, so he could only look up to him, this kind of unwillingness was like a poisonous snake gnawing at all the softness in his heart.

"So, if this king replaces him, is it also the expectation of the people?"

This sentence was even more shallow than Fang Cai's question, and even apart from Duan Jinrong himself, even Mu Wuxuan, who was close to him, only saw a vague mouth shape.

Even if they can guess, but Duan Jinrong has never declared his ambition out of his mouth, but now he is telling him, Mu Wucheng was shocked, Duan Jinrong has never been a broad-minded person, he has doubts about the people under him, no matter who it is, Mu Wucheng has followed him for a long time, and he knows that his status in Duan Jinrong's eyes is not to the extent that he can even say this kind of thing calmly, could it be that Duan Jinrong found something?

The thoughts in his mind quickly shuttled and analyzed, but Mu Wuxian's instinct made his shoulder stun slightly, and a trace of panic appeared on his face that he couldn't see if he hadn't observed carefully: "What are you afraid of?" ”

On the bluestone-colored official uniform, pressing a hand, Duan Jinrong turned around: "Don't worry, this king knows your loyalty!" ”

"Thank you for your trust!"

Mu Wuxian regained Sven's smile, as if nothing had happened just now, Duan Jinrong's smile was meaningful: "This king likes loyal people, and he also likes smart people, no guilt, don't let this king down!" ”

The hand on the shoulder seemed to have a thousand weights, and no one could see the dark tide between the two people except Mu Wuxuan himself.

Duan Jinrong put down the hand on Mu Wucheng's shoulder, picked up a glass of water and wine from the table, then pulled away a gentle and harmless smile, and greeted the newcomer: "Fourth brother, congratulations on your happy wife, my brother wishes my brother and sister-in-law a hundred years of good harmony and early birth of a precious son!" ”

Sacrificed to heaven and earth, worshiped his parents, married with red makeup for ten miles, who is not envious, who is not jealous, Duan Jinrong's sincere blessing made the delicate face under the hijab full of redness, but unfortunately the beauty is shy and no one can see it.

The gold-inlaid jewel cup in Duan Jinrui's hand shook for a moment, the wine did not overflow, he raised his head, and a faint smile appeared on his cold face: "This palace also wants to congratulate the ninth brother on his upcoming wedding in advance, and I wish you well!" ”

If it is an uninformed person on the side, they must think that the two are sincere brothers and wish each other blessings, but Duan Jinrui and Duan Jinrong are both parties, and only they can realize the taste.

The wine in his hand is not a palace jade brew, not a delicious elixir, but a blockage that is uncomfortable.

The eyes of the two people met in mid-air, staring intently, the wine in the cups in the hands of the two people, not a drop was missing, gradually, the people around the side silenced, in their eyes, some were watching a good show as if they were staying out of the matter, some were thoughtful speculation, and some were worried about their own children.

"Thank you, Fourth Brother Jiyan!"

Duan Jinrong lowered his head first, and drank all the wine in the cup, Duan Jinrui didn't do anything more to provoke people's handles, there were a lot of accounts between them, and they needed to be calculated slowly, with a cold light in his eyes, he raised the wine in the cup and drank it all.

The crowd applauded, and the atmosphere was extremely intense.

After eating raw dumplings, drinking wine, and forming a concentric knot, the bride said auspicious words, and led the palace people who were waiting to salute and retreat.

Duan Jinrui quietly stared at the eyelashes that were hanging his head down, but quietly fluttering upwards, and his face, which had been cold, showed a little bitterness, and before the girl noticed, he whispered: "Settle it!" ”

The candles are burning, the lights and shadows have become pairs, it is obviously a candle night in the cave room that is embracing each other, but there is a biting cold, which begins to spread from the heart.

Duan Muheng listened to the report of the person who was half-kneeling on the ground in front of him, a smile appeared on his face, even if he was stacked with wrinkles that were no longer young, he could feel the former heroism from the lines of his facial features: "Very good, as long as the princess of the prince river is good haode, there is no need to report the prince's affairs in the future!" ”

"Also, send the message out, and let those who sent it out, let them withdraw!"

"Subordinates obey!"

Yinlongwei is the trump card in the hands of the emperors of the past dynasties, but it is used to listen to his son's boudoir affairs, it is said to be a big fuss, but Duan Muheng didn't feel it like this at all, and greeted Zhao Suo, who was watching his nose and nose around him, and said: "Accompany me to walk!" ”
