Chapter 185: Weddings and Promises

Zhu Youzhu and Zhang Yue were both wearing imperial and queen court clothes, and they were in the upper position, watching the two salute.

According to Hami custom, at the wedding, a respected imam recites the Quran in the center to bring blessings to the couple. After reciting the Qur'an, the imam breaks a piece of naan into two pieces, dips it in salt water and gives it to the bride and groom, which means that they will share weal and woe and grow old together.

Shaanba and Guli sweetly ate naan on the spot. At this time, the beautiful sound of the piano sounded, and all the guests sang in unison to praise the happy marriage and wait for the blessings for a long time.

After the ceremony, a celebratory banquet was held at the royal palace as per custom. The guests here sang and danced happily, and the piano was melodious.

Shaanba and Gu Li came to Zhu Youzhu and Zhang Yue, both knelt down, Zhang Yue hurriedly came to help, but was stopped by Gu Li. The two solemnly kowtowed to the emperor and queen three times.

Zhang Yue helped Gu Li up, Gu Li's eyes were full of tears of gratitude, and her eyes were a little moist. She stepped forward and hugged Gu Li: "Congratulations to you Gu Li, you finally married your beloved." ”

Gu Li hugged Zhang Yue tightly, and kept muttering, "Thank you, thank you-"

The wedding banquet was full of auspicious clouds, and there was joy everywhere.

The banquet lasted until late, Zhang Yue was excited, drank a few more glasses, and was sent back to the dormitory to rest first.

When Zhu Youzhu returned to the dormitory, the bed was empty, the window of the dormitory was open, Zhang Yue was sitting in front of the window, looking from afar with the railing, but he didn't notice him entering the hall.

The corners of Zhu Youjiao's mouth rose, and he walked over gently, hugging his wife from behind: "After drinking so much wine, don't rest earlier, what are you looking at?" ”

A faint scent of ambergris came into Zhang Yue's nose, which made her heart very stable, and she gently leaned on her husband: "I can't sleep, so I look at the night scene of Hami." ”

Zhu Youzhu chuckled and said, "Maybe it's because I'm too excited today that I can't sleep." ”

Zhang Yue rubbed her face on her husband: "I really want to take a picture!" ”

"I also think that I have given an order to go down, and we will return to the court tomorrow. I'll see you soon. ”

"I've been away from my son for so long, will my son blame me."

"No, he will be proud to have a loving and righteous mother like you."

Zhang Yue buried his face in his chest: "You are the best at coaxing me!" ”

She poked her head out and said as if reminiscing: "When I first met Gu Li, she told me that her greatest wish in life was to marry Shaanba, and now that her wish in life has come true, I can almost foresee her happy life in the future." I am really happy for her, and I really envy her for fulfilling her life wish. ”

Zhu Youzhang's eyes are golden and shining, like a star in the night, shallow and shining, clear and clear, he was silent for a moment, and said gently but very solemnly: "Yue'er, I promise you, when the four seas are peaceful in the future, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the prince grows up, I will unload the burden on my shoulders, travel all over the world, return to the countryside, the sky is high and the sea is wide, I will accompany you." ”

Zhang Yue put her arms around her husband's neck and replied softly, "um", her tone was full of happiness and satisfaction.

Outside the window, the moonlight poured down on the dark earth like water.

——————————————————

On the second day of Gu Li's wedding, Zhu Youzhu took Zhang Yue and left the Hami Royal City.

After returning to Fuyuan City in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youzhu made some arrangements for the border guards, and then returned to the capital with his wife.

When passing through Hebei, Zhang Yue proposed a detour back to Zunhua County. On the one hand, he visited his uncle and aunt who had not seen him for many years, and on the other hand, he sent Lu Linhai's ashes to Xuanwei Academy after cremation and handed them over to his senior brother Lu Danjing.

Zhang Yue wanted to go alone, but Zhu Youzhu was not at ease and had to accompany him. Zhang Yue had no choice but to agree.

Zhu Youzhu ordered Luan to drive forward slowly, he and Zhang Yue changed into civilian clothes, did not bring any entourage, rode a fast horse, took Lu Linhai's ashes, quietly left the convoy, and made a detour to Zunhua County.

The two rode horses, and in less than half a day's journey, they arrived in Zunhua County. Zhang Yue took Zhu Youzhu to find his uncle Jin Cheng's home.

Jin Cheng's home is still the small courtyard where two in and two out. After Zhang Yue became the queen, she once asked her mother Jin to send a lot of gold and silver clothes to her uncle. Listening to Jin's words, Jin Cheng did not accept it. He never told others that his niece became the queen, so no one in the county knew that he was the uncle of the current queen.

Jin also told her that Jin Cheng had resigned from his job as the head catcher of the county government last year and went home to relax.

Thinking that he would be able to see his uncle and aunt soon, Zhang Yue was a little excited, and after tying up the horse, he couldn't wait to pull Zhu Youzhu into the courtyard.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw two people squatting in front of a flower in the courtyard with their backs to the door, concentrating on something.

The man on the left seemed to be very vigilant, and when he heard a voice behind him, he instantly turned around and stood up. When he saw the comer, he was stunned.

The one on the right complained unhappily, "Stinky Ah Cheng! How did you get up? Let you help me hold the flower seedlings, you see! Miao is down, you-" When she turned around, she was stunned when she saw someone coming.

The two are Jin Cheng and Lu Qiaoniang.

"Uncle, aunt!" Zhang Yue called out loudly.

"Huh!" Jin Cheng's lips trembled, and he subconsciously agreed, "Yes..... Yue'er? ”

"It's Yue'er!" Lu Qiaoniang next to her threw away the flower seedlings in her hand and ran over quickly.

Zhang Yue's tears fell, and she pounced on her and hugged her aunt tightly. Jin Cheng also followed, wiping the corners of his eyes excitedly.

After a while, Zhang Yue and Lu Qiaoniang slowly separated. A few people calmed down a little.

Lu Qiaoniang asked excitedly and suspiciously: "Yue'er, aren't you a queen?" Why did you dress up back in Zunhua? ”

Zhang Yue remembered Zhu Youzhu who was standing behind her, and she pulled her husband in front of her aunt: "Uncle, I came back to visit you and my uncle today, and this is my husband." ”

Lu Qiaoniang took a closer look at the handsome young man in front of her. I saw that he was wearing a net scarf and a crown of hair, wearing a purple round-necked narrow-sleeved robe, and his handsome and fair face was dotted with a pair of extremely clear eyes, and he was smiling at her politely at this time.

Lu Qiaoniang's mind was spinning rapidly, Yue'er married the emperor, this person is Yue'er's husband, so this person is.......

"Ahh Emperor! Jin Cheng next to him had already reacted, lifted the corner of his clothes, and was about to kneel.

Zhu Youjiao's eyes were quick, he grabbed Jin Cheng's arm to stop him from kneeling, and said softly: "Uncle don't be polite, there are no monarchs and ministers today, only uncles and nephews!" ”

Jin Cheng has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his skills are quite good, but when he was helped by Zhu Youjiao, his body couldn't move at all, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised by the emperor's martial arts.

Zhang Yue also persuaded on the side: "Uncle, don't salute." I came with my husband Ji Rumo to visit the elders today. ”

Seeing this, Jin Cheng had no choice but to give up, let go of his hand slightly, and the blocking power from Zhu Youzhu disappeared in an instant.

Mr. and Mrs. Jin Cheng welcomed the two into the house. Jin Cheng spoke carefully to Zhu Youjiao. Although Lu Qiaoniang on the side knew Zhu Youjiao's identity, she had no fear at all, and generously pulled Zhang Yue to chat enthusiastically.

That night, Lu Qiaoniang made a table of sumptuous dishes to entertain the two. At the banquet, after Jin Cheng drank some wine, he spoke to Zhu Youzhu much more freely. Zhu Youzhu sat next to Zhang Yue obediently like a junior in his later years, listening to Jin Cheng after drinking about various heroic deeds when he was doing fast hunting and interesting stories about Zhang Yue's childhood. Zhu Youzhu said very little, basically listening quietly, occasionally hearing Zhang Yue's "heroic behavior" as a child, he would chuckle and glance at his wife.

That night, Jin Cheng was so drunk that he couldn't walk, so Zhu Youzhu took his arm and helped him into the house.

Lu Qiaoniang looked at Zhu Youzhang's back, and kept praising Zhang Yue, saying that she was really a blessed person and found such a good husband. Zhang Yue smiled a little shyly.
