Chapter 245: The princess gets married
A few days later, the envoys of the State of Chu arrived in the capital of the Kingdom of Wind.
"Chu envoy, see His Royal Highness the Wind Kingβ"
The envoy of the Chu State stood in the hall, bowed his waist to the end, and bowed to Lu Chenshen.
"The envoy is exempt, I don't know why I came this time?" Lu Chen is still the same opening sentence.
At this time, the ministers of the Feng Kingdom in the hall also felt quite strange, why the envoy of the Lian Kingdom had only left a few days ago, and the envoy of the Chu State came again.
The so-called weak country has no diplomacy, in the past, the poor and weak wind country, the envoys of the world, they were too lazy to come once, but since the end of the chapter, this envoy has come really diligently.
The envoy of the State of Chu came this time, but he wanted to reconcile his marriage with the State of Feng, so his attitude was much more humble than that of the envoy Lian, and he said: "In the next time, the first thing is to say hello to His Royal Highness the King of the Wind on behalf of my king." β
Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled and said politely: "This king is fine, thank you Brother Chu for your concern, I don't know, how is Brother Wang lately?" β
"My king is also the same as His Royal Highness the Wind King, he is full of energy, but he is just a little tired of state affairs." The Chu envoy hurriedly returned.
Lu Chen nodded, and said, "What about the second thing?" β
"The second thing is that I, the state of Chu, am willing to marry with your country to consolidate the friendship between the two countries." Chu envoy said.
"Oh? Marriage? Lu Chen raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, His Highness the Wind King." Chu envoy arched his hand and said:
"Your Royal Highness, you are young, and my king heard that His Royal Highness has not set up three concubines, and my king's little sister, Princess Shaoyang, is also just twenty years old, and has the appearance of captivating the country and the city, as the so-called beautiful woman in the south, Princess Shaoyang and His Royal Highness, is a pair of beautiful people made in heaven, my king also has this intention, I want to marry the princess to His Royal Highness, I don't know what His Royal Highness wants?"
Ah! Hearing this, Lu Chen didn't have any fluctuations, but the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were all in a hurry!
That's a great thing! His own country was already at odds with Lianguo, and Qingguo and Jingguo had never had diplomacy with Fengguo, if the king could marry the princess of Chu, it would undoubtedly strengthen the alliance between Fengchu and Chu! In the future, whether it is attacking the company or sending troops on an expedition, there is no need to send heavy troops to guard the Lingnan border!
Xue Huairen was the first to hold back, he came out and said: "The king, as the envoy of Chu said, this is a match made in heaven, I hope the king will not push back the good intentions of the king of Chu." β
As soon as he finished speaking, Sima Wen also stood up and said, "King, what Lord Xue said is very true, the king should hurry up and choose an auspicious day to marry Princess Shaoyang......
"King, if this can be done, it will undoubtedly be a blessing for the two countries...... Xiao Wang said.
Liu Yuan also hurriedly said: "King, the sixth day of the next month is the best auspicious day, it is appropriate to marry, it is appropriate to make an alliance, it is appropriate to pray for blessings, it is appropriate to travel, the king should announce to the world, on the sixth day of the next month, marry Princess Shaoyang......"
"The minister is willing to be in charge of all matters of the palace etiquette......"
Ministers, you say a word to me, and in a short time, a large hall of people will be listed.
Okay! I haven't said a word yet, but these ministers have thought of everything for themselves, what auspicious days, what honor guards and so on. Lu Chen looked at everyone and said with a smile: "This king didn't say that he wanted to refuse this matter!" β
"Oh......" Hearing this, all the ministers were secretly relieved, and people were afraid that as soon as the king's temperament came up, they pushed the matter away, and at this time, seeing Lu Chen say this, people also returned to the train one after another.
And Lu Chen, although he has never seen Princess Shaoyang, and he doesn't know what she looks like, but he can marry with the Chu State, which is undoubtedly only good for the Wind Country and not harmful, no matter what, as the king of a country, he thinks from the perspective of a king, this matter has to be done!
After everyone returned to the train, Lu Chen said with a smile: "In this case, then please ask the envoy to tell Brother Chu that the king's honor guard will arrive at the Lingnan border on the sixth day of the next month." β
"That's very good." Chu Envoy hurriedly said: "Then I will retire first......
After the matter was finalized here, the envoy of the State of Chu was entertained by a good student in the country of Feng for a day that day, and the next day, he rushed back to the State of Chu.
After returning to Chu, he told the King of Chu the time designated by the King of the Wind, and then, the Chu State also began to prepare to marry the princess.
First the red wedding dress was ordered, then the dowry was prepared, and then the guards to escort the princess were dispatched, and so on.
When a princess of a country marries, her dowry represents the face of the Chu State, you can imagine what she really wants......
However, in the past few days, Princess Shaoyang seems to have changed all of a sudden, no longer jumping around, quietly, sitting in the boudoir to get married, full of sorrow, in addition to the coquettish air on her body, but with another charm, her thoughts are sad.
On the sixth day of October, Princess Shaoyang got married, and there were tens of thousands of people in the escort team, and the guard of honor was lined up into a long line, all red in one color, and the scale was very large, attracting people from all over the world to watch, and the king of Chu personally sent it to the Fengchu border pass.
And on the side of the Wind Country, the whole country is jubilant, the king can marry the princess of the Chu State, which is of course a good thing in the eyes of the people, and there is a lot of joy everywhere.
In order to show his respect for the State of Chu, Lu Chen also personally took the guard of honor to welcome his relatives and waited at the junction of the two countries early.
There are tens of thousands of guards on the side of the Chu State, and on the side of the Wind State, there are 100,000 Longxiang troops who temporarily serve as the guards to escort the king.
King Chu is the elder brother of Princess Shaoyang, and he is also extremely reluctant to send his sister to marry far away this time, so along the way, both of them are sitting in a wide carriage, seeing that they are about to leave Chu, Princess Shaoyang's long eyelashes were immediately wet with tears, and she snorted and shouted: "Brother......"
Ah! Hearing this 'brother', not Brother Wang, King Chu's heart suddenly shrank, his eyes were moist all of a sudden, and he gently wiped Princess Shaoyang's tears lovingly, and said: "Little sister, after you arrive in the Wind Country, you will be the Princess of the Wind, don't be stubborn and willful, don't be arbitrary, you have to know etiquette, otherwise, people will laugh at my Princess Chu, you know......"
"Brother......" Princess Shaoyang called again.
The corners of King Chu's eyes moistened, and he said, "Okay, okay, silly sister, don't cry anymore, ah?" If you cry again, your makeup will cry, and it won't look good......"
"Brother, if he deceives me, what will I do......" Princess Shaoyang said with a sob.
"No, no, you are a princess, how can he deceive you." King Chu comforted.
It can be said that when he saw Lu Chen, he was still not at ease, so he couldn't help but take Lu Chen's hand and said: "Brother Wang, I handed over Shaoyang to you as a brother, you must treat her well......"
Looking at the moist corners of King Chu's eyes, Lu Chen knew that this was his brother's reluctance to his sister, and he replied with a straight face: "Brother Chu Wang rest assured, after Princess Shaoyang arrives in the Wind Country, she will be my Feng Wang Princess, this king, and I will respect her like a guest......"
