The officials of the host and guest department went through the classics to formulate the etiquette rules for the princess's wedding, and they were beaten back the first time they were sent to the palace.

This is a very normal thing, and the etiquette of the royal family is very complicated, and it often takes several revisions before it can be determined.

The officials of the host and guest divisions are still busy day and night, waiting for something to happen by the way.

The position of the wedding envoy of the princess is tantamount to a terrible curse, and none of the officials in the Ministry of Rites who have a relationship with it have ended well.

But several days have passed since Tang Ning was appointed, and nothing has happened to him.

The collision between the broom star and the curse seems to have divided the winner and loser, and it is undoubtedly the broom star that is superior.

Many officials in the Ministry of Rites began to worry about Lord Shilang, the broom star was terrifying, and the position of the marriage envoy among the three Lang was suppressed by him, if he waited until he recovered, Liu Shilang might have to follow in the footsteps of the Household Department and the Criminal Department.

Shang Shufang.

Liu Feng thought for a moment before he raised his head and said: "The Host and Guest Division, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ancestral Department have had accidents one after another after serving as the wedding envoy, and Tang Ning took over, but he has been peaceful, obviously, this must be the means of King Kang's envoy." ”

Shan Lang Zhong secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he was still thinking in the morning, Tang Ning has been safe these days, whether the curse of the wedding envoy is a rumor outside, he thinks too much, if it is his turn, maybe it is still a credit.

Now it seems that fortunately he didn't take the initiative to ask for help at that time, otherwise, he would have jumped into the fire pit by himself.

He pursed his lips and said, "Lord Shangshu, according to the lower officials, King Kang's obstruction of the marriage envoy designated by my Ministry of Rites this time should not be all for the sake of trouble, there may be other attempts. ”

Liu Feng nodded and said: "I also feel this way, if it is just to make trouble, there will be no substantial loss to my Ministry of Rites, and there will be no benefit to him, King Kang has a lot of advisers around him, how can he do such a thing that is not beneficial, in addition to the marriage envoy, he must have some purposes that we don't know." ”

Tang Huai stood up and said, "That's because, this time I went to Chu State, and the task of sending the marriage envoy was not only to send marriage, but also to ask for marriage. ”

"What do you mean by that...... The Changning County Lord of Chu State! Liu Feng suddenly realized and said: "Regarding the matter of courtship, although Your Majesty has always been biased towards King Kang, but since the Marquis of Yanping and others were killed, the servant of the Criminal Department was dismissed, and Zuo Shilang was suspended, His Majesty has never mentioned this matter again, obviously dissatisfied with King Kang, if Concubine Hui Niangniang pleads for King Duan again at this time, things may take a turn for the better, but if even the marriage envoy is King Kang's person, the chance of His Royal Highness King Duan is very slim. ”

He looked at Tang Huai and said solemnly: "My lord, we can't give this opportunity to King Kang." ”

……

Although he has been appointed as a wedding envoy, most of the things are done by the officials of the host and guest divisions, and Tang Ning himself is very leisurely.

In the past few days, he simply did not go to the Ministry of Rites on the grounds that he was consulting the classics in the Hanlin Academy.

Xiao Jue sat opposite him, smacked his lips, and asked, "I haven't seen you for a few days, why did you become a wedding messenger?" ”

Tang Ning said lightly: "This is a proposal from the Ministry of Rites, approved by His Majesty, is there a problem?" ”

"I always feel like there's something wrong with this." Xiao Jue's face showed a look of doubt, and said: "If you don't want to, Your Majesty won't force you to go, I think you are quite happy to be this wedding messenger." ”

"It's time for you to go back and drink your medicine."

Tang Ning no longer paid attention to Xiao Jue, returned to the study and began to write, this time it was more than half a year, and Tang Renzhai's manuscript naturally needed to be saved. Today's Tang Renzhai is no longer supported by him alone, and he has also recruited some best-selling authors, so he doesn't have to be as tired as before.

Xiaoxiao sat next to him and wrote, she didn't practice much these days, and often stayed quietly by his side like this.

In addition to practicing, Xiaoyi will also teach her to read and write, whether it is martial arts or reading, she learns very quickly, especially martial arts, under the teaching of the old beggar, it can be said that it is a thousand miles a day, in the past few months, her physique has also been slowly improved, Tang Ning is worried that when he comes back from the Chu State, he may not be a small opponent.

She wrote for a while, put down the pen, looked at Tang Ning, and said, "Brother." ”

Downing looked at her.

She looked at Tang Ning and whispered, "Can I go with you?" ”

Although Tang Ning was also very reluctant to her, it was not smooth sailing to go to Chu State, and it was not easy to protect him and the princess, so she couldn't take this risk.

Tang Ning put down the pen, touched her head, and said, "Brother went out this time, I have something to do, Xiaoxiao obediently stays at home, accompanies Sister Xiaoru and Sister Xiaoyi, and waits for me to come back." ”

Xiaoxiao nodded obediently and said, "I will learn martial arts from Master and protect Sister Xiaoru and Sister Xiaoyi." ”

Xiaoxiao is very obedient and understands etiquette, Tang Ning sometimes guesses whether she came out of a big family, but her family has died, and he is not good at asking, just thinking that when she grows up again, if there is a chance, ask her about the things in her family.

Xiaoxiao and Fang Xinyue made an appointment to go to the waterside to catch dragonflies, Tang Ning originally wanted to accompany him, but before he could go out of the door, he met the eunuch from the palace.

When Emperor Chen summoned him, it should be for the preparation of the marriage, and when Tang Ning followed the eunuch into the main hall, he found that King Kang and King Duan were there, and there was a person standing next to them, it was King Huai who he had seen once at the Qionglin banquet.

There is also a figure in the hall, standing opposite the three kings, this is a middle-aged man, slightly fat, looking quite kind.

Judging from the court clothes he was wearing, he was also a prince.

Emperor Chen's eyes motioned for him to wait aside, looked at the middle-aged man, and asked, "King Fu, do you think Ming'er or Cheng'er, who is more suitable to marry the county lord of Changning of the Chu State?" ”

Tang Ning knew that this Fu Wang was the younger brother of Emperor Chen's mother, an idle prince who was divided into a feudal family, and the reason why Tang Ning had heard of him was because he was the father of the county lord of Anyang.

Emperor Chen's voice fell, and the eyes of King Duan and King Kang looked at King Fu at the same time.

King Fu raised his head, smiled, and said: "Brother Huang, King Duan and King Kang are both the princes of my Chen Kingdom, and this Changning County Lord is the daughter of King Xin of Chu State, and it seems that it is not suitable in terms of identity." ”

"King Xin is in the state of Chu, and he has almost taken charge of the government, although his daughter is the county lord, but the county lord becomes a princess, and he only needs a holy decree from the Chu emperor, not to mention ......" Emperor Chen paused in his tone and said: "Maybe you don't even need that holy decree." ”

He thought for a moment, then looked at King Huai again.

King Huai looked up at him, stunned, and said, "Father, the son already has a princess......

"I didn't say that I would let you marry, I asked you to say ......" Emperor Chen looked at him, and finally waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I can't ask you anything." ”

"Emperor Chu doesn't have a princess, this Changning county lord is a very important person, no matter what, let her marry to our Chen country, but who is she going to marry......"

He looked at the corner of the hall and said, "Tang Ning......"

Tang Ning was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the minister has already married, even if the minister agrees, the minister's two ladies will not agree!" ”
