Chapter 42: The Big Wedding Is Imminent
The matter of the honor guard sent by the emperor to celebrate the wedding soon spread throughout the city with the arrival of Chief Manager Liu and his party. At least this move, in the eyes of the people and the envoys of Fanbang, Zhao Xiaoxi, the prince, was very favored by Emperor Zhao Xu.
When the honor guard entered the city, looking at the smooth and solid road surface, I felt that walking on this road was a little more solid than walking in Bianliang City. The grandeur of this new city is really no less than that of Bianliang City!
For the members of these wedding team, Zhao Xiaoxi asked the officials of the Ministry of Rites to arrange all of them to the inn in the town. Although at this time, most of the inns in New South City were full. But the newly renovated inn can still arrange some people.
The only person who was brought into the palace of the old town was Mr. Liu. Regarding this situation, the Imperial City Forbidden Army who came to escort them did not dare to say anything. After all, everything here is Cho Hyo-seok's final say.
Manager Liu, who was led into the palace, was startled as soon as he walked into the courtyard. Because he saw that Zhao Hao, the king of Xu, who was obviously buried, was standing in the courtyard waiting for him with a smile on his face at the moment.
Perhaps seeing the surprise on Manager Liu's face, Zhao Hao smiled and said, "Gonggong Liu, once the imperial city is parted, it will be a while. Could it be that Gonggong Liu, who has only been seen for such a while, doesn't he know this king? ”
Looking at the smile on Zhao Hao's face, as well as the smiling appearance of Princess Xu and the others, Manager Liu realized something somewhat. immediately bent down and said: "Slave Liu Rong, I have seen King Xu and Princess Xu!" ”
Zhao Hao, who stepped forward to straighten it out, learned from Zhao Xiaoxi about the old eunuch who had guarded his mother for many years. Life in the Imperial City was not easy, and this time I came to give marriage, to put it bluntly, it was like being exiled.
Thinking of this, he said in a heavy tone: "Manager Liu, it's good to come." If it's okay in the future, you can accompany us to retire on the island. Over here. There are not as many rules as the Imperial City. I think the Queen Mother will agree if she knows! ”
When it comes to his mother, who has passed away, Zhao Hao is the most sad and guilty. In order to save their lives, they had to leave the capital early. As a result, the family, except for Zhao Xiaoxi who personally sent filial piety on his behalf, they failed to finally bid farewell to the Empress Dowager Gao.
For Zhao Hao's words. The old eunuch also felt very moved, wiped his tears and said: "Alas, the slave maid is old, and it is the same for the elderly there." It's just that the slaves and maids stay here, I'm afraid they will cause trouble to the prince. ”
Speaking of which, they are old eunuchs. Most of them either died of old age in the palace, or waited until they could not serve their masters, and then they were released from the palace by Kai Grace and returned to their hometowns to be retained for thousands of years. But the problem is. Mr. Liu doesn't have any family.
There was no way to live when he was small, and he was sent to the palace with a clean body, and Mr. Liu, like the Empress Dowager Gao, can be said to have experienced three generations of emperors. But when he turned around, his family didn't know where he went, which meant that he didn't have any family either.
It was precisely because he couldn't find a place to retire that Mr. Liu was finally left in the imperial city. guards the cold Queen Mother's bedroom every day, and lives a life that is a bit worse than death. If it weren't for the harem concubines to take care of. He was afraid that he would have died early.
Now come here with a holy decree, when you get seasick in the sea. Manager Liu even thought about it, and simply jumped into the sea and was in vain. But in the end, I still thought about coming to this island to see Zhao Xiaoxi for the last time.
Compared with the snub he received in the palace, Manager Liu knew that this county prince was a kind-hearted person. If even Zhao Xiaoxi doesn't pay attention to him, then on the way back. He must have jumped into the sea and killed himself, not wanting to return to the cold palace.
Maybe it's because they've known each other for a long time, and Zhao Hao also feels sorry for the close eunuch next to his mother. Let the head of the palace arrange a room for him. It can be regarded as letting Mr. Liu have a place to live here.
Three days after the arrival of Mr. Liu and his entourage. The Castle Lord's Mansion was finally completed as scheduled. With Zhao Hao and a group of women, Zhao Xiaoxi also visited, which contains the new South City, the highest standard of the city lord's mansion.
Looking at the distinctive buildings and rooms, everyone felt that this kind of accommodation was really too luxurious. But they all know that this house is their place to settle down, and they naturally hope to live more comfortably here.
After the house was completed, Princess Xu looked a little anxious and said, "Ah Fu, now this house is ready." Is it possible to have a big wedding? In the past few days, are there any auspicious days for the emperor? ”
For Princess Xu, as a mother, she is most concerned about Zhao Xiaoxi's marriage now. As long as Zhao Xiaoxi completes the marriage, this can be regarded as a matter of heart. This is also a little wish of a mother!
After Zhao Xiaoxi got married, the next thing is Zhao Yu's marriage. is no longer a princess recognized by the imperial court, Princess Xu and King Xu Zhao Hao, and then they will go to Dali to live in Dali for a period of time with Duan Zhengchun.
At the same time, they will also be in Dali to see their daughter get married. As long as they see that their children have a home, they are also completed, the last thing on the mind of parents. The rest is just waiting, holding the grandson for a hundred years.
Hearing Princess Xu's instructions, the housekeeper Zhao Fu said with a smile: "Back to the princess, it will be an auspicious day for the emperor in three days." If the second son is willing, he can announce the big wedding in three days, and then he will come to the city to celebrate! ”
In this regard, Zhao Xiaoxi shook his head and said, "Mother, Uncle Fu, it will definitely be too late in three days." It's better to delay the time, my son and four daughters-in-law haven't arrived! ”
As soon as she heard this, Princess Xu couldn't help but laugh and said, "You kid, it seems that now, you really have to live a life of three wives and four concubines." Okay, then Ah Fu, tell me again, in addition to three days later, when is the auspicious day of the emperor's road. ”
Zhao Fu had already prepared for this, and immediately said: "Back to the princess, there are many good days to marry this month." If it is not enough after three days, then after seven days, it is equally appropriate to marry. Presumably with seven days to prepare, we can also make the wedding more lively! ”
Hearing this, Princess Xu looked at Zhao Hyo-seok, as if she wanted to ask him if his four women would come to Ryukyu Island in seven days. In this regard, Zhao Xiaoxi has no opinion.
The information sent from the Buyi Pavilion that the four sisters of Mei Jian and dozens of swordsmen and maids from the Vulture Palace have now arrived on Fujian Road. Looking at the time, the nearest naval pier is believed to take less than two days.
decided to handle the marriage in seven days, and Princess Xu was naturally happy. Immediately said: "Ah Fu, from tomorrow, all the things in the palace will be moved here." In addition, the whole city was notified that the second son would get married seven days later, and the city would be happy! ”
Seeing Princess Xu make a decision, Zhao Xiaoxi naturally didn't have any opinions. As for Mu Wanqing and others, they don't worry about the length of time. But with this ceremony, their identity is justified.
Looking at the shy expressions of the women, Zhao Xiaoxi felt that it was nothing. Anyway, he and these women are not husband and wife, but husband and wife. Now it's just an explanation to them, so that they can feel at ease.
It's just that among this group of women, Wang Yuyan, who has always been quiet, is in a little unhappy. Although she had already discussed the matter with her mother, her relationship with Cho Hyo-seok was still as respectful as before.
Compared with Zhao Xiaoxi's feelings for other girls, Wang Yuyan can clearly feel that Zhao Xiaoxi treats her as much as Ah Zi. This means that Zhao Xiaoxi only treats her as a friend or little sister, and does not treat her as his own woman.
The loss on her face, not only Mu Wanqing looked at it carefully, but even Li Qingluo also saw it. The mother also knew that maybe it was time to make a clear statement with Cho Hyo-seok and fulfill her daughter's wish.
Although Li Qingluo is reluctant to marry Wang Yuyan to Zhao Xiaoxi, who has several wives and concubines. But she also knows that Wang Yuyan's character is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, and she is afraid that she will not turn back on what she recognizes.
If in this matter, Wang Yuyan is hurt again. The situation that appeared in the Shaolin Temple last time, Li Qingluo did not dare to guarantee whether it would be staged. After thinking about it like this, she decided to fulfill this wish for her daughter.
After seeing the completed city lord's mansion, Zhao Xiaoxi and his entourage returned to the town's palace. On the way, the emperor's secret guard, who came to inquire about the information, also found that Zhao Hao, the king of Xu, was still in the world.
The guards were also taken aback by this situation. But they knew that they were on this isolated island, and even if they knew about the situation, they would have to go back inland to report the information.
The situation that the wedding team has the emperor's secret guard, Zhao Xiaoxi is very clear. For these secret guards, Zhao Xiaoxi didn't plan to hide his father's presence in the world. The island is full of people, and it's impossible to hide it.
That said, there's no need to hide it. Anyway, Zhao Xu is willing to send someone to congratulate him now, but he doesn't want to break his face with him. As long as Zhao Hao does not return to the imperial city, I believe that even if Zhao Xu is angry, he will not dare to do anything to suppress him.
With the announcement of Zhao Xiaoxi's wedding seven days later, the people and officials of Xinnan City were very excited. Those Fanbang ambassadors who stayed on the island also knew that they could stay on the island, but they were afraid that there was really not much time left.
When she began to be busy with Zhao Xiaoxi's wedding in Xinnancheng, the four sisters of Mei Jian took dozens of swords and maids sent to her by Tianshan Tong's grandmother. rushed all the way to Fujian Road, and along the way, there were guards to arrange everything for them.
Although Zhao Xiaoxi no longer serves as the palace master of the Vulture Palace, the Wu Wei who is now arranged on the border of Song and Xia has married many elderly swordsmen and maids in the Vulture Palace. Even the young Wuwei also wanted to ask for a girl from the Vulture Palace.
And Zhao Xiaoxi's definition of the Vulture Palace also hopes that this sect can cultivate more and be able to be a sword maid who is good at martial arts. In this way, they will be able to act as the guards of Mu Wanqing and others in the future, and they will have a good way out.
Marrying Wu Wei under Cho Hyo-seok is also a good path for most of these orphaned or lonely girls. What's more, Zhao Xiaoxi has always implemented the rules of consensual thinking about the matter between Wu Wei and Jian Wan.
In this way, in the future, their children will also be Zhao Xiaoxi's subordinates, the most loyal subordinates and people. And this arrangement is also a special preferential benefit for Wu Wei, who often eats at the tip of the knife! (To be continued......)
