Chapter 26: Dismounting

The man seemed to be quite famous among the people, but after a few words, everyone showed a look of fascination, and at the same time, the crowd continued to retreat, without the restlessness and chaos of the moment.

After the people had regained their composure, the man walked back to the reception booth for the newlyweds, and looked up as if he had seen the procession of relatives.

A fat scribe standing next to the man smiled flatteringly, approached him and complimented, "It's still Lord Li who is deeply loved by the people, but in just three or five sentences, everyone will bow down to you, which is really admirable to the lower officials!" ”

The man in front of him, surnamed Li Mingyi, was the first warrior in Lanling. Although Li Yi is famous for his martial arts, but his wisdom and talent are also willing to impress, known as "Little Zhuge ", at the age of twenty, he is already the deputy general under the king of Lanling, in charge of the deployment of 100,000 troops, protecting the safety of the people of Lanling. When Li Yigang sat in the position of deputy general Shi, there were still many opposing voices. Those old pedantic staff members submitted a letter of reference to the king of Lanling, saying that it was difficult for this yellow-mouthed child to take on a big role, and asked him to choose another candidate. However, King Lanling did not take their advice and still reused Li Yi. And Li Yi did not disappoint the king of Lanling, and when he took office for more than a month, he personally exterminated the bandit gang entrenched in Chang'an Mountain in Lanling, solved the problems that had plagued the mountain people for many years, and returned it to a clean and peaceful place. After that, Li Yi used his ingenuity to solve strange cases repeatedly, which made everyone look at this young man with admiration, and he himself also gained a firm foothold in Lanling. Now, five years have passed, Li Yi has already become a hero-like existence among the people of Lanling, and a party has also been set up among the staff to voluntarily follow Li Yi behind him to help him stabilize his position.

But Li Yi himself seems to have a very light view of fame and fortune, he has never felt how special his identity is today, he still cares about the people and is willing to work hard for it.

Hearing the scribe's compliment, Li Yi just smiled lightly and did not answer.

Although he knew that Li Yi was indifferent, he was given a cold reception in front of everyone, which still made the scribe unable to get off the stage. Fortunately, the team of relatives has slowly appeared in the field of vision, and everyone cheered up and did not dare to think nonsense.

The deafening sound of the horn gradually approached, and Li Yi, together with the others, knelt on the ground, bowed three times and bowed nine times, thanked the emperor for his grace, and personally issued a letter to marry the prince.

Seeing that the officials had already knelt down, the people also knelt down one after another, and did not dare to raise their heads. Only the people in front of them could see through their lowered eyelashes countless feet and wheels, passing in front of them, and feel the dust on their faces.

Nangong Jingchen's carriage paused as it passed by Li Yi's side.

Nangong Jingchen lifted the curtain, looked at his friend next to him, and couldn't help laughing, "It's only been a month, you seem to have lost a lot of weight, did you help your father share his worries?" ”

"It is the duty of the subordinates to share the worries of the prince, and the subordinates dare not forget it for a moment."

Li Yi said very rigidly, which made Nangong Jingchen feel funny, thinking that this man was really awkward, in front of the public, he must not let himself make mistakes, and even the dialogue seemed to be arranged in advance, so that people unconsciously followed his words and responded.

What kind of person Li Yi is, Nangong Jingchen already knew, he understood that this was not a good time to catch up, so he lowered the curtain and let the team move on. After Nangong Jingchen left, Li Yi bowed and took two steps back, standing with his head bowed and his face solemn.

The wheels rolled over the ground, making a dull sound, Qiu Shuang pointed to the man in the moon-white robe through the slightly exposed gap, and said to Baili Lan, "That person is Li Yi, the first warrior of Lanling, who has a good relationship with Nangong Jingchen and is one of his heartfelt aides. He is upright and resolute, and is deeply loved by the people. ”

Because Li Yi lowered his head, Bai Lilan could only see the man's jet-black hair and his slender figure.

The sound of autumn frost came from his ears again, and after a short time, he introduced the important officials of Lanling one by one.

Since he decided to live in Lanling, Baili Lan had to understand the internal and external environment here. She didn't pay attention to the women in the palace, but was more concerned about the staff of the king of Lanling, because if she wanted to inquire about textile technology, she couldn't find anything from the pampered women in the palace. Moreover, Bai Lilan came to Lanling alone, and he had to cultivate his own power as soon as possible, otherwise the situation would be very passive. As for why Qiushuang understands it so clearly, it is thanks to the fact that when she heard the news of Arun a while ago, she inquired about it. Autumn Frost is a smart person, and after hearing it once, it can be memorized by heart. Although Arun's news has been investigated to no avail, it can be regarded as a mistake to inquire about the Lanling officials completely.

After Baili Lan listened to it casually, the wedding team had already arrived at the Lanling Palace, and in front of the palace, all the ceremonial teams put down the sedan chair and waited for the news.

But after waiting for half an hour, there was still no movement in front of him, and the celebrant couldn't help but be a little anxious, secretly wondering why the officials contacted by the palace had not appeared. In the end, I couldn't wait, so I ran to the gate of the palace first and asked the officers and soldiers guarding when I would marry the princess and enter the door.

The officer and soldier only said that they would go back to ask, but there was no news of them. It wasn't until the celebrant was about to collapse that he slowly walked out of the palace, looked at the people below, and said arrogantly, "The prince has explained, saying that when the princess got married, it rained heavily, which was a bad omen, and it was necessary to cross the brazier, smear soot, and contain bitter gall in his mouth when he entered the door to drive away the evil qi on his body." ”

Such an insulting request, not to mention Baili Lan and others, even the wedding attendants from the capital were full of righteous indignation and full of anger.

The head of the celebrant was not good-looking, and said patiently to the woman, "It's not in accordance with the rules in this arrangement." The princess is the lord of the county, with a body of golden branches and jade leaves, how can she cross the brazier, smear coal, and have bitter gall in her mouth? Please also ask the aunt to inform the prince, don't miss the auspicious time to worship the hall! ”

Who knew that the mother-in-law not only did not go back to tell her, but made her own decision and said, "That's not good, the prince has said that it is not good to let the princess enter the door with evil spirit." The prince has been unwell recently, if the princess brings disaster to the palace as soon as she enters the door, how can she establish prestige among the people of Lanling in the future? What we need in Lanling is to love the people and sacrifice herself to be a princess, if Lord Lan can't even do it, how can we expect her to become an excellent princess in the future? ”

This woman spoke aggressively, and in the face of many ceremonial officials in the capital, she did not have the slightest timidity, and her words were conclusive, reasonable, no matter whether the rain was really due to Baili Lan, first put a moral hat on her head, and let her refuse if she wanted to.

The celebrant had never seen such a scene, and he didn't know what to do at the moment, and he looked at Nangong Jingchen like a plea for help, and he didn't know how the groom decided today.

Ordering He Che to push himself out of the carriage, Nangong Jingchen came to the mother-in-law in the limelight, with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Those words just now were said by grandma and grandma Sun." also asked Mother Sun to tell her grandmother that when she left the capital that day, Jing Chen was also with Lan'er, if it was really wrapped in evil spirit, then Jing Chen also had it. In order to ensure the health of his father, Jing Chen could only work with Lan'er to cross the brazier and apply coal, with bitter gall. Prepare two servings if needed! ”

Mother Sun was stunned, looked at Nangong Jingchen, a little unbearable, hesitated, and then turned around and entered the palace.

Nangong Jingchen's obvious partiality made everyone in the capital feel very pleased, and at the same time, he also sighed that Baili Lan was blessed. Although the people in the Lanling Mansion may not get along well, with such intimate love from her husband, she is really happier than many women in the world.

Turning around and looking at the carriage where Baili Lan was, Nangong Jingchen slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, he knew that she must be in the carriage, secretly observing here.

Pinching a round grape in her fingers, Baili Lan leaned on the cushion, snorted coldly, and said, "Hmph, are they singing double reeds, one singing and one harmony!" ”

Chunfeng sat beside Baili Lan, smiled gently, and said, "I can't say that, slave maid, the prince still cares about you, and he is reluctant to let you suffer." ”

"Forget it, he and his Lao Tzu are obviously acting for Emperor Beining, one singing black face and the other singing white face, the abacus in his heart is crackling, and he thinks that others can't see it. Even the old man of Emperor Beining, who was so happy, could believe that Nangong Jingchen was sincerely obedient. Hey, there is this pair of father and son in Bac Ninh, and the world will be in chaos sooner or later! ”

Although he was accustomed to Baili Lan's various shocking customs, he still made a few maids lose their faces when he committed the crime of rebellion, and they dissuaded Bai Li Lan one after another, so that he must not have this thought in his heart.

Just when several women were expressing their opinions on Nangong's father and son in the carriage, the celebrant in front trotted over all the way, stood beside the carriage, breathed rapidly, and said with a slightly red face, "Huh...... The princess, the prince said, due to the weak health of the prince and the fact that he was running around for days, the old festival was exempted, and the wedding went on as scheduled. Get ready, the wedding is about to begin! ”

Chunfeng looked at Baili Lan, and then replied outside, "Thank you, my lord, our county lord is ready to hold a big gift at any time." ”

After receiving the answer, the celebrant did not dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly ran to the front of the team and began to organize the musicians to blow the horn. The majestic sound of the horn resounded through the sky, majestic and solemn, blowing away the unhappiness and embarrassment just now. Sitting in the wedding car is still the lord of Lan County of Bac Ninh, whose status is noble and inviolable.

The next process went smoothly, and Bai Lilan only needed to wear a red hijab and complete one step after another under the leadership of Mama. The process was cumbersome and complicated, and Bai Lilan wanted to run away several times, but thinking of what Nangong Jingchen said, he wanted to surprise himself tonight, and couldn't help but be curious, wanting to see what he could conjure.
