On the way to the capital of the Western Zhou Kingdom, Zhou Ding, the Nine Emperor Princes, who came first, still hid his whereabouts, at least except for the emperor, no one knew about him.

After Yelang's marriage proposal, the marriage with Song Xingchen was also put on the agenda, and the invitations had been distributed, and the wedding would be completed in two months.

This is not the first time that the Song family has married a daughter, but the Song Lu family has experience this time, in addition to preparing a dowry for Song Xingchen, the Song Lu family even prepared the share of Song Yue, saving the time to be busy.

Of course, according to the meaning of the Song Xingchen sisters, the dowry prepared is naturally compared to the Song Yue sisters who married before, at least on the bright side, it will not be higher than their specifications.

Under Song Yueya's expectation, Jincheng finally came.

Because of his identity, the lord of Yin Fort could not come in person, but Yin Sanmei, as the parent, came with Yin Ye and Yin Wumei, as well as a rich dowry.

Jianghu people are informal, according to the current rhetoric, there are not a few people in the rivers and lakes who marry naked, but some big gangs will also have grand weddings, and all rituals will not be different.

After all, the Song family is not a person from the rivers and lakes, so the dowry prepared by Yin Jiabao also took a lot of thought, which is completely in line with the identity of the Song family, and let people know that the eldest daughter of the Song family, who remarried, is valued by her in-laws.

Three books and six appointments, these things don't need to be done by the young couple personally.

And Yinjiabao is far away, so he invited a matchmaker in the local capital with a lot of money, and was received by Song Lu's family, and it only took a few days to complete the procedures one by one.

"You people in the capital are really good at playing." Yin Wumei has been almost soaking in the amusement park these days, and she has no interest in the hiring that she was looking forward to, and catching Song Xingchen is this sentence.

"If you like it, you can live in the capital permanently, my yard is big, and there is no shortage of your room." Song Xingchen likes this relative who is not related by blood, and he is much easier to get along with than those ladies who are twisted and turned.

Moreover, Yin Wumei's identity is special, she is not only Shen Yi's sister, but also Yin Ye's nominal sister, the two brothers-in-law are linked to Yin Wumei, and it is easy to embarrass her own sister if she doesn't get along well.

"That's what I intended." Yin Wumei said very bluntly: "But my pocket money is not much, I may not be able to afford it, Xingchen, when do you have an idea to make money again, remember to bring me a copy." But if you say it in advance, I'll be responsible for putting that little money in, but you know, I'm poor, and I can't sit there and take care of things. ”

The corners of Song Xingchen's mouth twitched, is she becoming an ATM now?

No matter how Song Xingchen reacted, Fifth Sister Yin had already waved at her and said, "Don't bother you to make money, I'll go talk to my sister-in-law, my little brother will marry a daughter-in-law in a few days, and I won't be able to follow him in the future, I feel congested when I think about it, why does your eldest sister look at my little brother?" ”

Song Xingchen was grinding her teeth angrily, if it weren't for Strawberry and Apple pulling her, she would have to catch up and fight with Fifth Sister Yin.

"You say, did she Yin Fifth Sister come to be angry with me? She is still stuffed, who do I tell to go? Spend my money to spend, and let me help her earn money when I go back, and now I still dislike my sister for coming, and I have the ability to let her two brothers return it! Song Xingchen sat down on the chair angrily.

"Miss, don't be like Miss Yin, she doesn't have the words." Apple persuaded: "Miss also knows, Miss Yin was brought up by her aunt since she was a child, and she said that she was an elder brother, but she was equal to half a mother, so she suddenly had to play alone, probably really uncomfortable." ”

Strawberry also nodded on the side and said: "Yes, I see that Miss Yin likes the eldest lady very much, and the two get along very well, besides, that Yin Gongzi is good, and he can work hard if he looks good, who will dare to bully the eldest lady in the future?" ”

Song Xingchen felt a little smoother, but when he calmed down a little, he frowned.

"My good young lady, what's wrong with you?" Strawberry asked quickly.

"I don't know why, my temper seems to be very impatient these days, as if something big is going to happen, and I am very panicked." Song Xingchen touched the position of his heart and said in a low voice: "It was the same when I got married last time, could it be that I can't get married again this time?" ”

Apple and strawberry glanced at each other, and listened to the strawberry spit three times, and urged: "My good lady, hurry up and vomit like this with the slave maid, the good day is coming, but you can't say these unlucky words." ”

Although Song Xingchen didn't believe in evil, he still followed suit, but the uneasiness in his heart still existed.

As the marriage approached, Song Xingchen's actions were also restricted by his family, probably because he was uneasy, but Song Xingchen did not reject it, and the well-behaved Song Lu family was surprised.

Because this time she married Song Yueya, Song Xingchen's wedding dress could only be done by Song Lu's own hands, counting on Song Xingchen to sew the wedding dress would only make the people watching her anxious, and finally went to the shop to get the finished product.

The envoy of the Western Zhou Kingdom finally arrived at the Kyoto Post Station at a turtle speed, but Zhou Ding, who had disappeared for a long time, appeared in the team.

To be precise, it was Zhou Ding who left the Western Zhou Dynasty first, and the envoy team temporarily added his name to the list before leaving.

"Nine Emperor Princes, the emperor wants to negotiate peace with the Great Zhou Kingdom, and he has not said that he wants to marry the princess of the Great Zhou Kingdom! The Western Zhou Dynasty and the Great Zhou Kingdom were originally the same sect, how could they marry each other? The messenger persuaded him bitterly.

Among the princes of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Ding relied on his intelligence and won the favor of the emperor, and he has always done his own thing.

This time, he came to the Great Zhou Kingdom first, and he also left a letter for the Western Zhou Emperor, stating his whereabouts and intentions.

The emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty couldn't, so he hinted at the words of marriage in the national letter, but he did not explicitly say that he must be the princess of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

In fact, Mo said that the Great Zhou Kingdom and the Western Zhou Kingdom were originally the same sect, that is, two unrelated countries, and it was not easy for the defeated country to ask to marry the princess of the victorious country, unless the battle was too difficult.

But in fact, the defeat of the Western Zhou State was somewhat tragic, if it were not for the fact that the Great Zhou State was unwilling to work the people and lose money, and did not want to kill each other with the same clan, it was also possible to unify the Western Zhou Dynasty this time.

"Father should have said that this time the peace will be decided by this prince, right?" Zhou Ding didn't answer, but asked casually.

The envoy choked, lowered his head unwillingly, and said respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty has a will, and the Nine Emperor Sons and Horses are the head, and there are conflicts......

"Isn't that the end of it, why are you still talking so much nonsense?" Zhou Ding flicked his sleeves, got up and said, "This prince is tired, go and rest first, and the adults will also settle down." ”

Before the envoy could speak, he was stopped by his subordinate officials and shook his head silently at him.

These envoys are not a faction, but the one at the head is a royalist, and even if the other officials have their own ideas, they will not play tricks in front of him.

"The emperor's command, even if you say it, the Nine Emperors will not listen to it. Even if it is to ask for a holy decree, as long as the Nine Emperor Princes are unhappy, it is all our fault in the end, and the adults still save their tongues, think about this peace, what should we do to make everyone happy. The subordinate sighed.

"Since Your Majesty has been in power, he has always been a benevolent monarch and a saint, but since the Nine Emperor Princes began to participate in political affairs, His Majesty has thought that he should not be, otherwise he would not have raised more than half of the troops of the Western Zhou Dynasty to start a war with the Great Zhou State, and there would not have been this passive peace. We are all His Majesty's courtiers, and we have to do our best for Your Majesty, but how can we turn things around the current situation? The envoy opened his mouth indignantly, but his voice was still a little lowered, "That's it, let's take one step at a time, with the Nine Emperor Princes here, even if you think about it thoroughly, there will be changes, and then we will still have the same responsibility, just look at how many pots this old bone can carry on its back." ”

The other adults looked at each other, but no one dared to say anything, but they all knew in their hearts that their boss was not wrong.

Zhou Ding has always been used to doing whatever he wants, and it is not something they can control, who let the emperor spoil him.

Let's say that after Zhou Ding returned to the room, he asked his subordinates to hang the painting scroll on the wall, while he stood at the front of the painting and watched.

"Interesting, a wild girl from the countryside has such a brain, although her status as my imperial concubine is a little lower, but these skills are worthy, as long as the emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom gives you a long position, it can help me." Zhou Ding looked at the delicate woman in the portrait and muttered to himself.

And the woman in the portrait is Song Xingchen, who was delicate when she talked to Song Keymei in front of the teahouse that day.

Ye Lang and Zhou Feng sent the secret guards to protect Song Xingchen, and when they stopped Zhou Ding from finding Song Xingchen, they also found out his details, and after knowing his identity, they naturally had to report the news.

In the imperial study, Zhou Feng was talking to the emperor about peace, and when he heard the emperor talk about Zhou Ding, he did not admit that he had mastered Zhou Ding's whereabouts.

"Emperor, this Zhou Ding is the prince of the Western Zhou Dynasty who is most likely to become the next generation of monarchs, and it is up to you to receive him this time." The emperor rubbed his temples a little tiredly, and his voice was not as loud as usual.

"Father's dragon body is not well?" Zhou Feng asked with concern.

"It's okay, I've not rested well these days, I'm just a little tired." The Emperor waved his hand.

Even for his favorite son, the emperor was reluctant to show his weak side, and kept things in his physical condition very close, and only his confidant imperial doctor knew the real situation.

"That being the case, my father should rest more and take care of the dragon's body." Zhou Feng said, and got up to support the emperor, "Although the sons and daughters are not as good as their fathers in political affairs, there are still those old ministers with humerus in the court, if they don't even have time to rest for their father for a few days, these courtiers should also be replaced." ”

"You're modest, I'm not as good as you are at your age." The emperor smiled lightly, obviously being patted on the back is still very useful.

"That's because my father taught him well, so that my sons had the opportunity to experience in political affairs." Zhou Feng said respectfully.

"Come on, just our father and son, you don't have to keep the way of kings and ministers." The emperor stood up straight, then brushed Zhou Feng's hand away, and said to him: "You should know in your heart that your father has long intended to make you the prince, and you are the only heir, and no one except you has this qualification." It's just that you haven't had an heir for many years, which has become an obstacle, but you can't ignore the important responsibility of extending the heir because of state affairs, which is also your responsibility as a prince. ”
