On the 14th day of February of the new calendar of the fifth year of Chengxian, the first day of the first month of the old calendar, Jingshi, Xinhua Palace.

In the evening, in the newly decorated Seungxian Hall, the most popular program of the wedding ceremony of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Princess Yuelan began - the Western Ball.

Although it was wartime, "all ceremonies were simple", the palace still took out 100,000 yuan: 60,000 of them were dedicated to the wedding ceremony of the crown prince, 30,000 yuan was used for the wedding ceremony of the main office, and the last 10,000 yuan was used for the banquet in the Chengxian Hall—with the consent of the crown prince and the princess, the banquets of the two families were held together.

Since the budget is limited, and it is not suitable to publicize, there are not many people who are fortunate to attend this banquet, except for the relatives and close friends of the newcomers, the rest are important ministers of the court, dignitaries and princes, and most of them bring their families to congratulate.

Unlike the wedding banquet of the common people, the protagonist does not enter until the guests are gathered.

Dressed in an all-black Praetorian Guard general's uniform, with a golden dragon collar on the stand-up collar, a marshal's tassel on his shoulders, a ribbon on his chest, and a gold thread pattern on his sleeves—the twenty-four-year-old crown prince Liu Ping, who was even more heroic in this way, took the concubine and took the lead on the red carpet in front of the main entrance.

With an elegant and unpretentious pace, a gentle smile that is both demure and intellectual, so that Zhu Xin, the princess who accompanied Liu Ping into the door, had already changed the phoenix crown and Xia Pei when she performed Chinese ceremonies in the Forbidden City during the day, and changed to a tailor-made white gauze dress, on the ring finger of her left hand covered by snow-colored long gloves, a huge South African diamond sparkled, and the pearl necklace on her chest and the ruby ring on her ear were said to have been worn by the Queen Mother when she ascended the throne with the emperor - "It's not so much the Queen Mother's attention to this new daughter-in-law, It is better to say that the Queen Mother wants to express her expectations for the crown prince."

Immediately after the crown prince and his wife, the dragon horse dressed in the uniform of a snow-white naval captain and full of fresh and vigorous atmosphere, His Royal Highness Shang Chang, the prince of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and one of the real protagonists of this gorgeous repertoire, Her Royal Highness Liu Yuchun, the princess of Yuelan, who also wore a white wedding dress but showed a more graceful and generous posture.

Empress Liu Qianhua is only one of the guests at today's banquet.

"The emperor only has to worry about military affairs, and the marriage of Ping'er and Yuchun will be handed over to the palace."

The Queen Mother said so. Qianhua was also happy to get out, not to mention that she had no interest in this kind of thing in the first place, and in her opinion, the only meaning of this wedding was probably to become a strategic smoke bomb.

According to the report of the Reference Service, Britain and the United States were not unaware of the military dispositions of the Reich before the war, but when predicting the time of the Reich's attack, most of them were presumed to be 19153 to 5, and there is evidence that the Empire's decision to hold the wedding of the crown prince in 15 214 and invite dignitaries from various countries to participate in this event was one of the important factors in the other side's prediction error.

Chibirch is very indifferent to the word "important factor". But even if it only plays a small role, "these 100,000 yuan is enough".

The queen mother, who has lived in the deep palace for a long time, is tired of this, these days to be busy before and after, everything must be respectful, when renovating the Yuqing Palace, the residence of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince after marriage, he actually ran to the construction site every day against the cold wind to supervise, and no one could persuade him.

Let her be happy, her son marries a daughter-in-law, her daughter marries, and who else is more excited than her. It's because the palace has less money. made a lot of awkward noise, and said everywhere how much private money she had posted......

Doesn't matter.

Qian Hua sneered secretly. Adjust your expression or mask and be the first to greet the newcomer.

After accepting the half-kneeling salute of the two couples as the emperor, Qianhua suddenly had an idea and leaned close to Liu Ping's ear: "Look at you like this, I can't wait." ”

Liu Ping's face was red for a while: "What's the matter, why does the emperor come to find me happy......"

Qianhua raised her sleeves slightly to hide her face: "It's not that I'm here to find you happy, in fact, there is someone who can't wait." ”

"Who?"

"Who else do you say?"

Liu Ping blinked and shook his head.

Qianhua stretched out a finger: "Who else do you say is looking forward to the grandson." ”

Liu Ping paused for a moment and smiled dumbly.

"Who is saying bad things about this palace?"

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. The Queen Mother also can't wait to see the new daughter-in-law's dress at this time.

Qianhua turned around, waved her hand and smiled, "How dare you, I am saying, the Queen Mother will be blessed in the future." In addition to the children, there is more filial piety of daughters-in-law and sons-in-law, and it will not be long before there will be a few grandchildren or something. It's all going around in front of you, how nice. ”

The Queen Mother nodded happily, suddenly sighed again, raised her handkerchief and wiped her eyes: "It's a pity that your father can't see this day, this thing has been done a few years ago......"

"The queen mother takes care of herself, her father has a spirit in the sky, and when she sees that Ping'er and Yuchun have a lifelong event, she will only be overjoyed, and she will have no regrets."

"Yes, look at me, what are you talking about on this day of great joy?" The Queen Mother patted her forehead, her sorrow was swept away in an instant, and she happily stretched out her hand to pull the concubine: "Come on, let me take a good look, my family's new daughter-in-law is worthy of being from a foreign university, and it is really interesting to wear this dress...... Good, good, good. ”

Then he looked Liu Ping up and down, straightened his collar for him, and then turned to his new son-in-law, looked up and down, looked left and right, and saw that His Royal Highness Wang Shizi had no idea, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

It was Yuchun who hurriedly relieved her husband: "Queen Mother, don't look at it, His Royal Highness the Prince is embarrassed." ”

The Queen Mother came back to her senses and clapped her hands again and again: "Oh, yes, yes, look at me, I'm happy, I can't see enough, I can't see enough, such a beautiful individual, my little princess has vision and blessings...... Yo, this is the in-laws, right......?"

It's time for the main characters......

Qianhua stepped aside knowingly, asked for a glass of red wine, and glanced at Ye Jingying, the female official who was always around.

"Who does the emperor want to see?" Accompanying her day and night, Ye Jingying naturally knew the empress's intentions.

"Haven't Pan Guochen and Liang Gensheng come back yet?"

"I've already arrived in Tianjin, and I am scheduled to enter the palace for an audience in two days, do you want to call to urge?"

Qianhua took a sip of wine lightly: "Forget it, call Fang Tianhua and them over." ”

After a while, Fang Tianhua, the leader of the so-called "Task Force Six", and Wu Haisong, who was in charge of intelligence work in the six-member group, the former wore a tuxedo and a bow tie top hat - typical politician dress, and the latter wore a navy blue staff officer uniform with gold spikes, all of them respectfully followed Ye Jingying to Qianhua like a long-tamed eagle dog.

Qianhua beckoned the two of them to sit down, and first glanced at Tianhua, who had a tense face: "The war is in full swing, the royal family is still extravagant and wasteful, extravagant, Fang Tianhua, do you think so?" ”

"Minister—don't dare."

Qianhua put down the wine glass, and her eyes were cold: "I don't want you to say that you don't dare, I want to hear your true words." ”
