The ceremony before leaving lasted for nearly two hours, and the group set off from the gate of the palace and walked all the way, with the cheers of the people in their ears.

There were 800 palace guards in charge of guards, the princess's entourage, miscellaneous servants transporting dowries, and the two countries' missions, adding up to nearly 1,000 people passing through the streets and passing through the market, with chariots and horses marching in unison, gongs and drums sounding in unison, which is also a rare scene.

Tang Ning rode on a horse and walked in the front, but there was a little bit of a feeling of fighting horses and royal streets, and it was also like a battle when marrying, if you wear a big red flower on your chest and wear a wedding robe, it will be even more like.

When he walked to the gate of the city, he saw Xiaoru Xiaoyi and Tang Yaoyao standing somewhere, Xiaoxiao and Fang Xinyue waved to him desperately, and also saw Su Mei and her mother not far away, and Tang Shui, who was standing alone in the distance, watching him leave.

Tang Ning could only ride on his horse and wave his hand in their direction, each time he could welcome more enthusiastic cheers from the crowd.

The princess's marriage is a major event celebrated by the whole country, but there is always a time when the excitement subsides, when the group of people out of the city gate and gradually disappears from sight, the onlookers gradually disperse, leaving only scattered figures.

Tang Qi stood outside the city gate, looked at a cloud of smoke and dust in the distance, and said lightly: "The dispute between the princes, when they come back, it will almost be clear." ”

Tang Zhao snorted coldly and said, "That guy went to the Chu State, it's best not to come back!" ”

Tang Jing's gaze retracted from a distance and said, "Although we still have an advantage in the number of adults and the accompanying mission, in the final analysis, Tang Ning is the ...... to ask for relatives, and I hope that everything will go well on this trip." ”

Tang Jing looked ahead, his expression was calm, and he couldn't see any mood fluctuations, Tang Shui walked over from a distance and said, "Dad, it's all gone, let's go back." ”

Tang Jing nodded, and when he turned around and was about to return to the city, his eyes looked at a figure not far away, and he was suddenly stunned.

At the same time, Tang Qi also seemed to have discovered something, his face changed, and he strode in a certain direction.

At the gate of the city, Su Mei held the woman beside her and said, "Mother, let's go back." ”

"Ning'er is gone, and you won't be able to sleep well." The woman looked at her and said, "Before he left, he left some soothing spices, which are said to be good things in the palace, and I will sew them in the sachet when I go back, and you will take them with you." ”

A smile bloomed on Su Mei's face and said, "Thank you, mother." ”

"Xiaoyu?" As they entered the city gates, a voice suddenly came from behind them.

The woman's body trembled, her steps paused slightly, and in the next moment, she walked forward with the same complexion.

Tang Qi walked quickly in front of the two of them, and when he looked over, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Su Mei looked at Tang Qi and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Lord Tang." ”

"Miss Sue." Tang Qi had been to the natural residence many times, so he naturally knew the first beauty of the Beijing Division, his eyes swept over her, looked at the woman, and asked, "Who is this?" ”

"My mother." Su Mei looked at him and asked, "Is there something wrong with Lord Tang?" ”

"Nothing." Tang Qi shook his head and said, "It's just that Miss Su's mother is very similar to one of my relatives. ”

"The world is so big, and it is not surprising that there are many people who look alike." Su Mei took the woman's hand and said, "If Lord Tang has nothing to do, we will leave first." ”

Tang Jing walked over slowly, looked at the figure in front of him, and said, "Isn't that Miss Su from the natural residence?" ”

Tang Qi looked at the two figures in front of him and asked, "Do you think that the woman next to her is very similar to Xiaoyu?" ”

"I don't think so." Tang Jing shook his head and said: "Although the figures are somewhat similar, but the appearance is not similar, this Jingshi and Xiaoyu have similar figures, not ten thousand, but eight thousand, Miss Su's mother, how can it be Xiaoyu?" ”

"It's that I'm thinking too much." Tang Qi nodded and said, "It's been so long, and I don't know where Xiaoyu is, and I haven't heard any news ......at all."

Tang Qi got into the carriage, Tang Jing waved his hand to him, and said, "You guys go back first, I'm going to buy some candied fruit for Shui'er's mother and walk back by myself." ”

Tang Shui walked over from behind and asked, "Dad, you buy the same candied fruit for your mother every time, she has eaten it for so many years, isn't she tired?" ”

Tang Jing knocked his finger on her head and said, "What do you know about a little girl, there are some things that you will never get tired of for the rest of your life." ”

Tang Shui stuck out his tongue and said, "You go back to coax your mother first, and I'll go back later." ”

"Going to the natural dwelling again?" Tang Jing looked ahead and asked casually.

Tang Shui was surprised: "Dad, how do you know?" ”

Tang Jing looked at her and asked, "The food in the natural residence is so delicious, it's worth going to every day?" Or are you very familiar with Miss Su Mei, more than with the county lord of Anyang? ”

Tang Shui looked up at him and opened his mouth: "Dad......"

Tang Jing looked away and said, "If it's really good for your sister-in-law, let's be more restrained." ”

"Dad, you ......" Tang Shui followed behind him, Tang Jing waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, they don't know yet." ”

Tang Shui breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head, and said for a long time before he said, "Dad, King Kang and Cousin Duanwang, who can be the emperor?" ”

Tang Jing looked at her and asked, "Why did you suddenly ask this?" ”

Tang Shui said in a low voice: "If Duanwang's cousin becomes the emperor, the sister-in-law and their family will not be able to gain a foothold in Beijing, if it is King Kang who becomes the emperor, the sister-in-law will be able to appear openly, but the Tang family ......."

"The Tang family will be wiped out." Tang Jing added, and then said with a smile: "Who said that the emperor must be King Duan and King Kang, maybe it is some other king, before the matter is finalized, everything is possible." ”

Tang Shui raised his head and asked, "But they all said that whoever can marry the county lord of Changning this time will sit firmly on the throne of the crown prince." ”

"Who said that?" Tang Jing shook his head and said, "Whether you marry a princess or a county lord, the blessings and misfortunes are unpredictable......"

Tang Shui tugged at his arm and asked, "What is the blessing and misfortune, Dad, can't you make it clear?" ”

"Your Majesty is gambling." Tang Jing breathed a sigh of relief and said: "He bet on the prince of Chu to win, and bet on the regent of Chu to win, if the prince of Chu wins, the prince who marries the lord of Changning will not be able to take the position of the prince, if the regent of Chu wins, the prince who marries the lord of Changning will step into the East Palace, but correspondingly, the princess of Pingyang who married in the past will sacrifice for it......"

"Your Majesty has bet on both sides, and they have only gambled on one side, so even if the courtship is successful, it is still unknown whether it will be a blessing or a curse for them."

Tang Shui was stunned, and it took a while before he came back to his senses and asked, "In this way, the people who support the regent of Chu will not support the prince of Chu to marry Princess Pingyang, and they are in danger along the way?" ”

"It's much more than that." Tang Jing shook his head and said, "There are people who don't want to see the marriage of Chen and Chu more than them, and they are destined not to be peaceful along the way......"

Tang Shui froze in place, his fists clenched in his sleeves, and his nails sank deep into the flesh.

……

Chu.

Xinwangfu.

A young man strode in from outside the door, walked to the hall, bowed his hand, and said: "Lord, Chen Guolai has an urgent report, Chen Guo has agreed to ask for marriage, and the day when Princess Pingyang set off is the third day of the third month of March. ”

"The third day of March?" The middle-aged man in green clothes put down his teacup and said, "So, they've been on their way for a few days?" ”

The young man nodded and said, "Count the days, they already set off five days ago. ”

The middle-aged man picked up the teacup again and said, "In this case, we should start preparing right away." ”

The young man raised his head and said, "Lord Wang, there is one more thing. ”

The middle-aged man looked at him and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The young man said: "According to the envoy, Emperor Chen intends to let a prince marry the lord of Changning, and this time he also sent an envoy to ask for marriage. ”

"Want to marry Lan Lan?" The middle-aged man put down the teacup heavily, and said coldly: "He thinks beautifully!" ”
