Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Wedding of the King of Song (Part II)
Shu'er took the wedding card in disbelief and read the gilded block again:
Spring swallows fly double, and mandarin ducks have white heads.
The son is like tin, and the beauty is like a beauty.
In this life, we are destined to tie the knot.
Jade capital Song Palace, invite Jun Qingzhi.
The inscription is the name of two people and the seal of the Pyeongchang Palace:
Pyeongchang Palace
Liu Jing, the monarch of the Song Kingdom
Shu'er stared at the name of "Liu Jing" on the wedding card, and her heart was full of thoughts. Brother, are you going to get married? And I, who came back to Song Kingdom after all the hard work, and the first time I saw you, I was going to congratulate you on your new marriage?
Shu'er didn't have time to sort out her emotions of joy and sorrow, so she only heard Qiao Yun say: "Boss Yan, King Song's wedding banquet is at noon." I was about to go to the White Jade Palace, and the carriage stopped outside, I wonder if Boss Yan is free to go with me now? ”
Shu'er asked in a daze, "Now...... Just go? ”
Qiao Yun said: "Today's noon wedding banquet is not trivial, all of them are high-ranking officials and nobles of the Song Kingdom, relatives of the king, and everyone is willing to enter the palace early to talk and make friends. In addition, to enter the White Jade Palace, you must first verify your identity and check the items you carry, there are many people entering the palace today, and it will definitely take some time to enter the Dongxing Gate. And after entering the palace, they all walk, the white jade palace covers a huge area, and it takes some effort to walk from Dongxing Gate to the Jinghe Palace of the Empress Dowager. In this way, if I can't go now, I'm afraid I won't be able to start the banquet in time. ”
Shu'er nodded stunned.
Lin Ying finished eating the oil cake, stood up suddenly, and said, "If you have a happy wine to drink, I will go too!" So he pulled up one of Shu'er's sleeves, smiled at Qiao Yun and walked straight out. Qing Yu and Yi Feng had to keep up.
There was a carriage regulated by the prince parked outside the inn, and Lin Ying praised: "The carriages of the Pyeongchang Royal Mansion are so magnificent!" Without waiting for Qiao Yun to speak, Lin Ying had already jumped into the carriage and got into the car.
The interior of the car is spacious and can seat up to six people. At this time, Qiao Yun sat next to Shu'er, and Lin Ying sat opposite Shu'er, sometimes lifting the curtain to look at the busy jade capital outside the window, and sometimes glancing at Shu'er's staggered expression.
Qiao Yun said: "King Song did not personally hand out any wedding cards, so today's guests are all relatives and friends of various princes, dignitaries and nobles. When you enter the palace for a while, the four of you will be counted as members of our Pyeongchang Palace, and you can sit in a good position in the banquet with me if you follow me. My father is sitting in Pyeongchang County, and he can't come to the wedding banquet today, so I represent the entire Pyeongchang Palace, and no one dares to be rude to you, as long as you don't threaten to be from Chen Guoren. ”
Lin Ying stroked the awkward Song costumes she was wearing, and said with a smile: "Those from Chen Guo are not necessarily from Chen Guo. ”
Qiao Yun glanced noncommittally at "Mr. Su", who had always been rude, and Lin Ying smiled: "For example, these two guards of our Boss Yan are the first-class guards in the Zichuan Shu Palace. ”
Qiao Yun asked curiously: "I have long felt that Boss Yan's guards are good in appearance and have solid internal skills, I don't know what the relationship between Boss Yan and Shu Palace is?" ”
Shu'er looked at the Huaiwang sword at his waist and replied, "The king of Shu is a sword idiot, he took a fancy to my sword, so he sent two guards to keep an eye on my sword. I made a pact with him that when the deadline was over, I would give him the sword. ”
Qiao Yun laughed and said, "It turns out that Boss Yan has provoked that strange person from the King of Shu." ”
Shu'er saw that Qiao Yun also had a good sword at his waist and asked, "In the Song Palace, can you wear a sword?" ”
Qiao Yun explained: "First, all the kings of the Song Kingdom have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and they are not afraid of assassins. The two, the Song State was still martial, and many civil servants were also both civil and military. Third, in the Song Kingdom, the sword on a man's waist was like a woman's gold and silver jewelry, and it was also a decorative object, which could show his status. Therefore, in the Song Palace, the sword has never been forbidden. ”
Shu'er nodded, but thought that Qiao Jing and Qiao Ling didn't wear swords, and couldn't help but wonder: "I wonder if Brother Qiao, Qiao Jing and Qiao Ling are familiar with each other?" ”
Qiao Yun said: "I don't know it well. ”
Shu'er said: "It's inconvenient for me to ask them in person, but I don't know, those two Qiao brothers seem to have a lot of insights into business, but which of the Qiao family in the Song Kingdom are from?" ”
Qiao Yun shook his head and said, "Their family background is naturally noble, and I can't say clearly for a while. Boss Yan will see them at today's wedding banquet, and when the time comes, you will know where they are sitting when you see where they are. ”
Shu'er let out an "oh". In fact, she has never had any interest in the identities of those two brothers, probably just the two noble sons of the Qiao family of Song Guo, the one who doesn't like to laugh is very good at playing the piano, and the business strategy is also well written, and the other one who loves to laugh is smooth and polite, and other than that, there is nothing special. Probably they don't deserve a sword, but they don't know martial arts.
Shu'er looked down at the exquisite wedding card in her hand over and over again. When she was about to arrive at the palace gate, she asked: "Brother Qiao, it stands to reason that the wedding of King Song should be a great joy for the five countries of Kyushu, why have I been in Yudu for five days, and I have been wandering around the streets every day, but I have never heard anyone talk about it?" I'm actually surprised that you invited me today. ”
Qiao Yun sighed: "Our King of Song is not a person who likes to be lively. As rumored in Kyushu, he was a 'royal maniac who only knew how to read the cantata'. When he ascended the throne at the age of three, it was during the Great War of Chen and Song, so he did not invite envoys from other countries to congratulate him. didn't even hold a state banquet when he ascended the throne, and getting married to him was probably just a big thing for him. To what extent are sesame seeds? Even the wedding cards were sent by the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager to the major mansions, and there were only their seals on them, not the seals of His Royal Highness. Then each family sent out some wedding cards by themselves, and the seals were printed by each family. King Song had every opportunity, and he should not have the leisure to take care of these things at all, so he delayed again and again, and the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager couldn't wait, so they hurriedly drafted a wedding card, which was only sent to the major mansions two days ago, and ordinary people must not know about it. If it weren't for the fact that my sister was the bride, I would be far away in Pyeongchang in the northwest, and I am afraid I would not have heard about it until after the wedding of King Song. ”
Shu'er fell silent. Brother, do you think it's not fun to get married? Or are you unhappy to get married?
Qiao Yun knows everything, and he says everything: "Actually, I still know an inside story. ”
Shu'er looked at Qiao Yun curiously.
Qiao Yun said: "Or rather, another way of saying it. ”
Shu'er asked, "What do you say about it?" ”
Qiao Yun replied: "The saying about the wedding card has been delayed again and again. His Royal Highness is not the only one who married my sister today, but there is another one, which is Ling Zi, the daughter of Lord Ling Yan, the brother of Prime Minister Ling Mo. Lord Ling Yan, who is in the household department, is also a pillar of a country. The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager and Her Royal Highness have never known who to appoint as the queen, so the news of King Song's wedding has been delayed again and again. In the end, I can only marry the young ladies of the two families into the palace. ”
Shu'er fell silent again.
Lin Ying suddenly clapped her hands and smiled: "Hahaha, no wonder they look at each other's eyes, so cross-eyed!"
