February 29, the twenty-third day of the first month, the old yellow calendar: Yi marry.

It's also a coincidence that it coincides with a leap month that occurs once in four years, and it happens to be that day!

Today's holy sister, the little eldest princess of the empire is married, even if it is engaged, it is very lively.

The prospective horse master began to greet guests early in the morning, and he was busy until the evening when he was a little free, not to mention resting, and receiving gifts was soft.

However, almost all of them were given to the eldest princess.

Understandable.

Even if he marries the eldest princess of the royal family, Bai Zhizhan, as an imperial admiral, must abide by the military regulations and military discipline of the navy. Although there is no prohibition on the holding of wine banquets or restrictions on the size of banquets due to royal reasons, the rules related to the acceptance of gifts must not be abolished.

This means that if it is given to Bai Zhizhan, as long as the value exceeds 1,000 yuan, it must be filed with the relevant departments of the Navy Command in advance.

Not to mention the trouble, for such a red and white celebration, you can receive up to three gifts worth more than 1,000 yuan, and the excess must be handed over to the treasury unconditionally.

Give it to the little eldest princess, and these problems will not exist.

Even if you want to give face, it is to give face to the little eldest princess, to the current saint, to the queen of the world, and to the imperial family.

How much face can an old man who is only engaged at the age of forty-two have?

In fact, most of the guests don't know Bai Zhizhan, especially those relatives of the emperor, even if they know the name, they can't understand the MG.

Fortunately, Li Yunxiang and Fang Suqing were accompanied throughout the whole process.

Fang Suqing is very clear about the etiquette of the royal family, as well as the names of the royal relatives, and under her suggestion, Bai Zhizhan will be called.

Before the dinner began, the day's lively wedding banquet reached a boiling point.

That's right, the long-awaited protagonist appeared.

Not a newcomer, it's a saint today!

It should be said that most of the guests who came to the engagement ceremony with expensive gifts were actually for today's saints, and they also gave the face of today's saints.

Who calls the bride-to-be the only sister of the Holy One today?

As for the bridegroom-to-be, the war is stopped.

Which family is he?

This is the most frequently asked question by guests in private.

Although after being reminded, these imperial relatives immediately thought of the great victory they had just achieved, and said that they knew that there was a general named Bai Zhizhan in the navy, but almost all of them believed that Bai Zhizhan came from a certain famous family and must have a prominent background.

No?

Didn't the flower of the little eldest princess be inserted into the pile of cow dung of Bai Zhizhan?

If it weren't for the marriage given by the saint, or the queen mother's intention, I'm afraid that many royal elders would be troubled on the spot, at least they would find someone to ask for clarification.

Thankfully, it's just an engagement.

After the interior official read out the decree of marriage, Bai Zhizhan's parents accompanied the Queen Mother.

It must be admitted that this is where this changed after the secularization of imperial royalty.

In the past, let alone being tied with the Queen Mother, it must be three bows and nine knocks. The first thing that secularization reforms did was to abolish these cumbersome royal rituals. It is precisely because of this that the secularization of imperial etiquette carried out together with the constitutional reform not only did not reduce the majesty of the imperial family, but made the imperial family more close to the people, narrowed the distance between the imperial family and the people, and greatly increased the appeal of the imperial family among the people.

With the Queen Mother here, many imperial relatives naturally dare not criticize.

What surprised Bai Zhi's sense of strategy was that the Queen Mother's move was even more generous than today's saints.

After all, the little eldest princess is the queen mother's own flesh and blood.

The Empress Dowager's first decree was to canonize the quasi-concubine, and Bai Zhizhan was the Duke of Yuguo and Prince Ai, the title of first-class duke, and the royal Yongjiao Major General.

Of course, these titles and the official positions of the inner palace have their origins.

As for the title that sounds a bit awkward, it is actually the result of secularization.

Because it was just an engagement, it was decreed by the Queen Mother.

When the wedding is held, the current saint will make a holy decree, and the title and the official position of the inner palace will be promoted by one level.

Then, something happened that surprised Bai Zhizhan.

The Empress Dowager's second decree not only canonized Bai Zhizhan's father and mother, but also added noble titles to Bai Zhizhan's three siblings.

Although it is not a hereditary title, it can be canonized by the Queen Mother, which is also an honor.

Now, he has become a real aristocrat.

Even if there are still two generations away from the family, but at present, in this dynasty, the Bai family has become a veritable big celebrity in front of the emperor's relatives and saints.

Isn't the Empress Dowager's decree the Holy Decree?

Sometimes, especially in matters related to the affairs of the royal family, the edict is more effective than the holy decree, because the saint rarely takes care of the internal affairs himself.

The key is that the queen's health is not good, and the queen mother is very energetic, so the internal affairs of the royal family are mainly managed by the queen mother.

In front of many royal relatives and relatives, the Queen Mother rewarded the Bai family, and anyone with a little bit of eye can see that the Bai family is about to soar.

As for why the Queen Mother made such a big fanfare, Bai Zhizhan actually knew it very well in his heart.

Fundamentally, it is to stop the war in vain and serve the imperial family to the death.

The war has broken out, and the empire is in the time of employing people, and if there is a colt who can fight well, it will be of great benefit to the empire and the royal family.

To say that the political consciousness of the Queen Mother is not ordinarily high.

More than 20 years ago, it was with the support of the Queen Mother that the Shengshang, who was still the eldest prince at that time, went to the Western Front, and obtained the respect of the first emperor, and at the same time let several younger brothers return to their hearts, and became the crown prince without any suspense, and successfully ascended the throne after the death of the first emperor.

As for the relationship between the little eldest princess and the prospective horse, it is a secondary issue.

As long as the horse master can fight, even if the relationship is a little worse, it is not a big deal. When you have a son and a half daughter, won't your feelings follow?

Besides, this pair of prospective newcomers is also a big deal, and they may not be able to blossom and bear fruit in a year.

Today's Queen Mother is also like this.

All in all, the Queen Mother is actually sharing worries for the royal family and the current saint.

Obviously, in the Empire, especially in times of war, to be loyal to the Imperial Family is to be loyal to the Empire, and the two are highly unified.

After the constitutional reform, the greatest value of the royal family is to become the spiritual leader of the empire when the national crisis is at hand!

For the Queen Mother's good intentions, Bai Zhizhan also sighed.

Decades ago, Emperor Shiwu said: Women are half the sky of the empire.

That's really right.

To have such a reasonable, virtuous and magnificent, empress dowager is not only a blessing for the imperial family, but also a blessing for the entire empire.

Of course, Bai Zhizhan's number one task is to toast with the little eldest princess.

The interior officer specially brought fine wine from the palace, and it was sure that a thousand glasses would not be poured.

To put it thoroughly, that is, white water.

Everyone can see through it or not, after all, after drinking this circle of wine, there are not 500 cups, there are 400 cups, if it is real wine, no one can bear it.

In the end, Bai Zhizhan was also led by Fang Suqing to pay tribute to several royal elders.

The royal family is the largest family in the empire, and there are elders in any big family, and the influence of the elders is not ordinary!

This is a must-drink wine, and it's real wine, not plain water.

Fortunately, Bai Zhizhan did not drink badly.

By the time I was done, it was already the middle of the night.

Most of the guests were very knowledgeable, and the prospective couple toasted and left. When Bai Zhizhan finally got free, the manor was already much deserted.

However, he did not sit idle, at most he just sat down to catch his breath and eat some hot meals to fill his belly.
