How could Yang Guang not understand Princess Izumo's thoughts, and sighed in his heart, sure enough, she was an outgoing girl.

"This is a major matter of the court, Ji'er, you better not worry about it, I have my own measure." Yang Guang shook his head, the matter involved his own great cause, how could Yang Guang stop because of his daughter's love for Chen Pojun.

Empress Xiao looked at Princess Yun, sighed lightly, and glanced at Yang Guang, "It's a matter of rebellion, Your Majesty must be cautious!" ”

Holding Yang Ji'er's hand, Yang Guang patted it a few times, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, I'll give Chen Kefu another chance." Tomorrow, after Chen Ke returns to the palace, I will not kill him first. As long as he is willing to stay in the capital and assist the imperial court in sending troops into Liao to take over Liaodong and transfer the Liaodong army back to the Central Plains, I can ensure that he is rich and prosperous for the rest of his life. "Not killing Chen Kefu for the time being has long been decided by Yang Guang in his heart, and saying it at this time is just to comfort Yang Ji'er. For Yang Guang, a living Chen Kefu is more beneficial than a dead Chen Kefu. Keeping Chen Kefu can not only appease the Liaodong Army, but he also has to get the formula of the gunpowder weapon from Chen Kefu's hands.

"Father, really?" Yang Ji'er looked up into Yang Guang's eyes.

"I Jinkou Yuyan, how can the words I say not count, don't worry, as long as Chen Kefu is smart enough, I won't kill him. It's not too early, so you should go back to the palace and sleep early. Yang Guang nodded.

Guiyifang, the mansion of the Liao State.

At this time, it was almost dusk, and it was an auspicious time. The main hall of the Liao State Mansion had already been properly arranged at this time, and the lobby was covered with ornate bōsi carpets, and two rows of soft couches were furnished. There is also a row of soft couches under the huge red sè double happiness at the top of the lobby, which is the position of the parents of both men and women.

Chen Kefu's biological mother died early, and his father did not continue to follow, and Li Yuan's situation was similar, his wife was dead. At this time, Chen Shen and Li Yuan were sitting upright in the top position.

The two sides of the lobby were already full of VIPs at this time, and two rows of young women were separated on either side, holding various prescribed items for worship. The master of ceremonies looked at the hour and sang loudly. "The auspicious time has arrived, please newcomer!"

Accompanied by Luo Lin, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin, and Li Chengyi, Chen Kefu walked into the lobby in a ceremonial robe. On his right, Li Xiuning also walked out slowly, accompanied by four bridesmaids from Kyoto. At this time, Li Xiuning was dressed in a festive red. Although there is still a vermilion red hijab on his head, his graceful posture and elegant and dignified temperament still make all the guests feel amazing. Especially at this time, the head is full of pearls, and under the translucent vermilion gauze cover, through those few hanging beads, you can clearly see the delicate faces inside. It's really like a peach, the eyes are like paint, the snow skin and jade skin, and the extra jiāo is beautiful and moving.

At this time, Fang Xuanling walked to Chen Kefu's side and whispered a few times in his ear, Chen Kefu only frowned slightly after hearing it, "Invite them in!" After saying that, he also stood there to greet him.

The guests in the hall were a little surprised, they didn't know who was here, not to mention that they were late, but they could still let Chen Kefu greet him.

"Xiao Wang is late, please forgive me Brother Pojun! 、。 A loud laugh was heard. More than ten people have come to the lobby, and everyone looked and found that they were Liao Wang Yang*, Yu Wenhua, Yu Wenshi and two brothers, and a female dependent was Princess Nanyang. Behind them, there are several young children of Yuwen Valve and Pei Valve.

Seeing these people coming, all the guests were a little surprised, and it was rumored everywhere in the capital that Chen Kefu's palace gate was stabbed before, which was done by Pei Valve and Yuwen Valve. Everyone was waiting to see how Chen Kefu would take revenge on Yuwen and Pei Valve, but they didn't expect that they would still appear here today.

Chen Kefu's face remained unchanged, he stepped forward to greet him with a smile, and just said a few words, Fang Xuanling walked into Chen Kefu's ear and whispered.

Looking at the curious looks of the guests, Chen Kefu smiled and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come in person and has already entered the mansion." ”

Everyone was even more in an uproar, they didn't expect that not only the prince was here, but even the prince was here, which was too face-saving. Chen Kefu and others hurriedly walked to the front of the lobby to greet them.

The crown prince Yang Gao was dressed in a brocade robe in the front, followed by more than a dozen subordinate officials from the other palace and several young sons of the royal family, and behind him were several inner shì and shì guards.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Yang Gao is just an eighteen-year-old child, and coming to the wedding banquet is just the intention of the prince's courtiers, and the purpose is just to win over Chen Kefu, the most powerful person in the dynasty, hoping to get his support. The officials of the East Palace unanimously agreed that as long as Chen Kefu had his support, he would not only be able to consolidate the crown prince's position, but also cut off the last hope of the King of Liao. ,

"Lone is to congratulate the left minister's wedding, you don't have to be polite, don't let the lonely guests take the lead." Although Yang Gao is young, he is very old-fashioned in what he said.

Chen Kefu nodded, and invited Yang Gao and King Liao to sit down, and the rest of the people were also invited to watch the ceremony. While talking and laughing, he found that there was a prince and a little eunuch who was a little familiar, and since he came in, he had been staring straight at him, which made him feel a little suspicious.

When the two staggered, their hands were suddenly stuffed with an object, Chen Kefei pinched it with her hand, but found that it was a folded note, and she couldn't help but be suspicious in her heart.

Before he had time to open it to watch, the master of ceremonies had already said loudly, "The auspicious time has been, the newcomer worships the church, worships heaven and earth!" ”

Chen Kefu and Li Xiuning walked into the middle of the lobby again, and the two of them worshiped heaven and earth.

"Second worship high hall!"

The second worship is the two elders in the hall, the prince Yang Gao and the Liao king Yang Lai are also sitting on the top at this time because of their noble status. When worshipping the high hall, the bride must serve tea, and this cup of tea has been saluted, as long as the in-laws have drunk it, it is considered to have completed the ceremony. Chen Shen, who was full of white hair, smiled and took the tea made by Li Xiuning and drank it all.

"Husband and wife worship each other!"

Chen Kefu and Li Xiuning held a red sè ribbon in their hands, and turned around to bow to each other under the witness of the full house. When the two bent down to worship, Chen Kefu clearly saw Li Xiuning's nervous and shy face through the hijab, and even heard the sound of nervous breathing. Chen Kefu chuckled, leaned forward slightly, and his forehead gently collided with Li Xiuning's phoenix crown.

"Hmm!" With a soft shout, Chen Kefu saw through the bead curtain that Li Xiuning was glaring at him, and he couldn't help but be a little funny. It seems that this wife is not a particularly old-fashioned person.

"Licheng, the newcomer will be sent to the cave room!"

With the singing and shouting of the master of ceremonies, the band at the entrance of the lobby began to play, and some family members threw the bamboo poles that had been prepared into the fire, and the sound of patting sounded, and the wedding was completed.

Thinking about the note, Chen Kefu and the guests in the lobby hastily dealt with it for a while, and then went back to the study. As soon as he entered the study, Chen Kefu hurriedly opened the note and took a look, but on it was a line of graceful fly-headed small letters, "At three o'clock on the first shift, see you outside the back door of the Liaoguo Mansion!" "The payment is an auspicious word, and then thinking of the previous face, Chen Kefu suddenly remembered that the familiar face was not the personal palace maid Mingyue next to Princess Izumo. Mingyue was dressed as a eunuch just now, and she didn't recognize it for a while, but when she thought about it at this time, she was undoubtedly Mingyue.

Counting according to the hour, the evening is regarded as a watch, the sea is used as a second watch, the child is a three, the ugly time is four, and the Yin time is a fifth watch. The time is from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., 5 p.m. and 3 p.m., that is, 8:12 p.m. Chen Kefu looked at the time, it was just dark now, at most six o'clock, at least an hour before the time to meet. Yang Ji'er was in such a hurry to see him, it must have been something important and urgent.

"Uncle Bao, you immediately bring a few brothers, help me pay attention to the back door, and help me pick up someone into the house at three o'clock." After speaking, Chen Kefu took out a silver sè feather arrow engraved with his name from the quiver on the wall and handed it to him.

After the arrangement, Chen Kefu returned to the hall and wanted to find Mingyue directly, but he didn't find it after looking for a while, and after asking, he learned that the crown prince Yang Gao had already taken people away after the ceremony.

The hall was full of people who came to toast, and after Chen Kefu drank a few glasses, he asked Cheng Yanjin and others to help him block it, and he went back to the new house in the backyard first. Now that the eastern capital is weird, he doesn't dare to get drunk at such a moment.

As soon as I stepped into the new house, a shì maid whispered, "The groom is here!" ”

Li Xiuning sat on top of Xi Chuáng, a little nervous. She agreed to the marriage. When she first met Chen Kefu in Liaodong, she had an inexplicable affection for this man, and she expected that this man would not be ordinary. It's just that he didn't expect that he would be so extraordinary, and in a short period of time, he had even surpassed her father and became the most powerful person in the Great Sui.

"The bride and groom have drunk the wine!" An older woman said, her words fell, and the two shì women walked over with two cups.

The wine was the last procedure of the wedding, and Chen Kefu took over a gold scale in the hand of the older woman. It is not an ancient ritual for the groom to pick the bride's hijab with a scale or a tenon, but it is a custom that began in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The richer the person, the more valuable the scale in the groom's hand is, such as the gold scale in Chen Kefu's hand at this time, which is not only all gold, but also inlaid with precious stones, and those scales are all small

of diamonds, diamond-set.

The hijab was gently lifted, and only a crown full of pearls remained. Under the red candle, the beauty is picturesque.

The sake cup used in the hop is not an ordinary wine glass, but a bitter gourd that is as bitter as a bitter gourd and cut into two. The two floats are connected by red silk threads, and the bride and groom are in the new house, each holding half of the floating, filled with fine wine, and drinking half of each. Then the two of them clasped their hands, drank the remaining half of the cup, and finally put the pair of scoops under the joy of Chuáng.

Joining together not only means that the husband and wife become one, but also means that they will be together and will never be separated in the future.

The older woman saw that the two of them had finished drinking the wine, and said with a smile, "Licheng, congratulations to the son and the lady on a hundred years of good together, and grow old together!" She smiled and took a money bag handed to her by Chen Kefu, and left with a few shì girls with a smile.

The red candle is shining, and there is only a couple left in the new house!。
