The holy decree of marriage was given, but the civil officials did not react, the military attaches had no right to speak, and the minds of the nobles moved again, but they did not expect Xiangshan and his party, and the eldest princess of Yongning actually fell in love with Lu Dingguo.

Many people regret it, they thought that the eldest princess of Yongning was like a wooden beauty, but how could they expect that people would not be moved by the status of the person, but only pursue true love? It's just that it's cheaper for the kid of the Changxing Hou family.

The Marquis of Changxing's mansion set off firecrackers, and the Marquis of Changxing entered the palace to thank him.

Zhou Heng said with a smile: "In the future, you and I will be in-laws, so you don't have to be polite." ”

Speaking of which, Zhou Heng is still Lu Dingguo's brother-in-law, but does Lu Dingguo dare to treat him as his brother-in-law? Marquis Changxing said repeatedly: "Don't dare, don't dare, the ministers have climbed high." ”

Subsequently, Changxinghou went to Anhua Palace to thank Cui Keyin. For Cui Keyin, he has to be a little more grateful, the queen is really credited, saying that good words in front of the emperor are good words in front of the emperor, and he will try his best to promote this marriage.

Before he came, he visited the silver building and jade shop in Beijing, and finally took a fancy to a Guanyin carved from mutton fat and white jade in Fusheng Building.

After seeing the end, he handed over the box: "Niangniang is really a bodhisattva, the minister is a little careful, and please smile." ”

At the first glance of this box, Cui Keyin regretted it, and promised Yongning to the Changxing Hou family, is it really good? Cui Keyin didn't signal, and Lu Ying naturally wouldn't step forward to pick up the box. She saw that Cui Keyin was extremely angry, but she just forced herself to endure it, and couldn't help but feel sad for Changxinghou.

"No need. When the Qin Tianjian chose an auspicious day, the Ministry of Rites prepared a dowry, and the wedding was held. You'd better go back and get married. Cui Keyin said lightly. There was another sentence she didn't say, if she dared to despise Yongning. If she didn't hold the wedding in a beautiful way, she would definitely not agree.

The Marquis of Changxing was too high-light, completely immersed in the joy of marrying the royal family, and did not notice Cui Keyin's coldness, and listened to Cui Keyin let him go back to the house to prepare for the wedding, bowed down, and Xingxing left the palace.

Yongning was happy and shy at the same time, lying in Fenglin Courtyard and not coming out. Cui Keyin asked Lu Ying to announce her.

"What do you command?" Yongning's little face was flushed, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were just smiling.

Isn't it the decree that all things will be done at once? Anything else?

Cui Keyin said: "The mother-in-law of the imperial sister is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, according to the royal sister's supple temperament." must have been eaten by her to the bone. Something will happen in the future. You can push it on Lu Dingguo and let him deal with his stepmother, you can only treat her face. You are the eldest princess, golden branches and jade leaves. Don't be polite with her. ”

Yongning said: "The emperor did not give an order. Let her see her as a courtier? ”

This sentence. In less than half a day, it spread, and the imperial history, who had nothing to do, impeached Zhou Heng for ignoring humanity and not talking about filial piety. The fold was left in the middle by Zhou Heng. That is, Zhou Heng completely ignored it.

Mrs. Changxinghou received the holy decree and almost fainted. Changxinghou didn't care at all, anyway, he was Lu Dingguo's biological father, Yongning's husband, and Yongning had to respect him anyway.

Cui Keyin patiently explained: "With the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, it's just when you just meet each other, do you just go your separate ways?" ”

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are the most difficult to get along, not to mention that Mrs. Changxinghou is very powerful, and she is a stepfamily, if it is changed to Roujia, it must be a small quarrel in three days, and a big quarrel in five days. Yongning's temperament is too weak, which is really worrying.

Yongning's eyes widened and he looked confused.

Cui Keyin talked to her carefully, and her mouth was dry, and she finally nodded in understanding. I really don't know how Mama taught her, her biological mother died early, the Queen Mother couldn't count on it, and no one taught her, she really lived for 20 years in vain.

Rou Jia learned the good news of Yongning and made a fuss in Shufangzhai, but Cui Keyin didn't know.

Qin Tianjian chose an auspicious day, which was in February next year.

Yongning wanted to say that she would be twenty-one years old in the New Year, and she really wanted to get married before the New Year, but she opened her mouth a few times, but she couldn't say it.

Cui Keyin asked about the preparation of the dowry of the Ministry of Rites, and asked Qin Tianjian to pick an auspicious day again, and said: "The princess is married, and there are many affairs, where is there enough time for three or four months?" ”

Qin Tianjian re-sent three candidates, namely March 20, April 8, and August 11. Cui Keyin picked the eighth day of the fourth month, and the Ministry of Rites stepped up preparations for the dowry.

Cui Keyin took the time to meet Lu Dingguo again.

When Lu Dingguo saw Bi, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at her, but just replied carefully.

Cui Keyin asked, he replied, and at the end, he took out a tired silk bead phoenix hairpin from his arms, handed it over with both hands, and said: "The minister even got this hairpin, looking at the workmanship is quite exquisite, please ask the mother to hand it over to the princess." ”

The phoenix hairpin is exquisitely made, and the bead on the phoenix's mouth is as big as a dragon's eye, which is a pearl produced in the South China Sea. If nothing else, this pearl alone is rare.

Cui Keyin turned the hairpin handle, and the three small words "Fusheng Building" jumped into view.

It turned out that I bought it in Fusheng Building, and it cost a lot of money.

"Okay, this palace will definitely transfer it on your behalf." Cui Keyin spoke softly and smiled kindly. Seeing this phoenix hairpin, her mood was inexplicably better, and she could take the opportunity to enter the palace to bring things to Yongning, even if he had a heart, Yongning would marry in the future and would not suffer.

Yongning clutched Feng Hai tightly to his chest.

Cui Keyin told Zhou Heng about Lu Dingguo's gift of the phoenix hairpin, and quipped: "I think back then, the emperor didn't send me such a delicate hairpin." ”

Not only did I not send a phoenix hairpin, but I didn't even send an ordinary hairpin.

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "I'm a down-and-out prince, where did I get the money to give you something?" But I climb over the walls of your house every night just to see you. This kind of heart, Lu Dingguo, this kid is not as good as me. Speaking of which, he is not as much as me. ”

Let Lu Dingguo climb over the palace wall? I'm afraid that before I get close to the palace wall, I will be shot into a hedgehog.

Cui Keyin laughed and said, "If you are willing to let him climb the palace wall, I think he will also do it." ”

"He can't turn it over, he can't do it." Zhou Heng said firmly: "This kid is not bad at riding and shooting, but he has no martial arts. ”

Cui Keyin just looked at him and said: "Now that the holy decree has been issued, and the family affairs have been harmonious, if he has an accident, the imperial sister will ......."

In this way, do you still want him to climb over the palace wall?

"That's because he's not good, what's the matter?" Zhou Heng's face was not red, and his heart did not skip.

The couple laughed and rested.

When it snowed for the first time in the capital, Tang Lun returned, along with a prisoner cart and the urns of countless officials.

Sixty-eight officials who accompanied Emperor An on the expedition, from the cabinet, the six Shangshu, to the five officials, except for Tang Tianzheng, almost all of them died.

Only more than 3,000 of the 200,000 elite came back with all beards and tails, plus more than 2,000 wounded, and the rest were all killed and buried in the Sheephorn Fort.

For a time, the crying in the capital shook the sky, and the sky was full of snow, as if sad for the parents who lost their son, as if they were crying for the wife who was looking forward to Fumen.

Zhou Heng sent Tang Tianzheng ten miles out of the city to greet the ashes of the victims, Tang Tianzheng seemed to be in a different world, crying all the way. (To be continued.) )
