Chapter 160: The Greeting Team
Chapter 160: The Greeting Team
Soon a month passed, and it was time for King Yan to marry. Because King Yan has no concubine, he is a fool, and the emperor has no special instructions to be grand, so all his marrying matters are handled by the Ministry of Rites!
Everyone in the Ministry of Rites knows that the princess Yan in the emperor's decree is a member of the Li family, her father is just an eight-rank official, and the family has no big officials, so it can be said that there is no backstage. But the other side concubines and concubines of King Yan have a backstage behind each of them, and this backstage is still the pillow person next to the emperor, the emperor's concubine and others.
It can be said that these concubines blow the pillow wind beside the emperor, and they will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.
In addition, King Yan is a fool, and it is impossible for him to know all affairs, so the officials of the Ministry of Rites, for the sake of convenience, wronged Princess Yan and simply asked King Yan to marry all these women home in one day.
Generally speaking, in terms of the local customs of Mingyue Kingdom, if a large family marries a wife and a concubine, the wife must first enter the concubine half a year before the concubine, so to speak, and the wife will marry the concubine after she is pregnant. This is all a sign of respect for the wife, and the wife's maternal family will not say anything.
But Li Luobing didn't have a backstage at all, so the officials of the Ministry of Rites were not afraid of wronging her. Let her enter the door with the other concubines. Of course, there is still due respect for Princess Yan, and they opened a main courtyard in the separate Yan Palace, named Ning Cui Garden, and arranged Ning Cui Garden as Princess Yan's happy house, planning to let her live in it.
At the same time, the other side concubines and other concubines, they all have their own courtyards, namely Danfeng Garden, Zizhu Garden, and Jifang Garden, and arrange for them to live in. As for the three concubines, they were directly arranged to live in the Frost Red Garden.
Of course, they all knew that King Yan was a fool, and they didn't tell King Yan about such a thing, they wanted to please the families of those concubines, so after they did a good job, they secretly went to find a reward.
On the day of the wedding. The capital is very lively, because today is the day when King Yan marries a concubine, even if he is a fool, but he has always been a relative of the emperor, the son of the emperor, he married seven women at one time and returned to the palace of King Yan, naturally, the capital is very lively.
Ten miles of red makeup, gongs and drums, the sound of firecrackers, according to the convention, as the groom official Yan Wang, it is necessary to go to greet the relatives, Yan Wang Chu Ruoyao is riding on a tall horse at this time, wearing a very bright red wedding dress, a handsome face, has been smiling, on horseback he is even more handsome and extraordinary. Even Murong Liuyun, who was the emperor, followed behind Chu Ruoyao, the king of Yan, and was dressed in beautiful colors, and he was also riding on horseback.
In fact, the royal in ancient times was equivalent to the best man now, but the name was different.
Along the way, the different handsome appearances of the two people, Chu Ruoyu, the king of Yan, and Murong Liuyun, the son of the Murong family, gained the admiration of many women.
They admired the seven women who were about to marry very much, although King Yan was stupid, but he was so handsome, as a husband, it was really a blessing, and he could ignore his true situation at all.
King Yan's team to welcome relatives walked all the way, and King Yan walked a distance, and he always felt that something was wrong? This is not the journey to the Li Mansion at all? Could it be that there is a mistake in this route? He couldn't help but look at Murong Liuyun on the side.
Murong Liuyun also felt strange, he received the hint from King Yan, so he turned his head and asked the official of the Ministry of Rites who greeted him: "Lord Chen?" What's going on? ”
"Murong Gongzi? What do you ask? I don't really understand! "This Lord Chen is a smiling Maitreya Buddha, who has been smiling all the time.
"Lord Chen, you're really joking, how can you not understand?" Murong Liuyun also felt that this person was deliberately pretending to be vague: "Where is this welcoming team going?" Why didn't you go to the Li Mansion? ”
"Huh? Murong Gongzi, do you mean this? Master Chen approached with a smile and said quietly and proudly: "Actually, it was our adults who did it on purpose. The adults have already discussed it with the others, and King Yan will go to the Chen Mansion to greet his relatives this time. This time, the side concubine inside is a person from the Chen Mansion and the niece of Concubine Liang. So...... We are planning to go to the Chen Mansion to meet another concubine of King Yan. ”
"Huh? It's not in order, right? Murong Liuyun exclaimed in a low voice, and then turned his head to look at Chu Ruoyao, originally thinking that he would give himself some looks, so that he could handle this matter like this, who knows, where Chu Ruoyun has been pretending to be a fool, and he didn't give himself any eyes or meaning at all.
It seems that it is to obey Lord Chen's will. Murong Liuyun felt pity for Li Luobing in his heart: Li Luobing's beautiful smiling face appeared in his mind again, his mother's condition is much better now, and she smiles every day, all of which are her credit.
Even if she is a stone girl, if there is no previous oolong's holy decree, he will definitely marry Li Luobing back to Murong Mansion as his mother wishes, and be his wife, now Murong Mansion is jealous of the emperor, and if he marries the daughter of a high-ranking official, the emperor will be even more jealous.
It is the best choice for me and Li Luobing to marry, but it is just ...... People are not as good as heaven, but I didn't expect her to be given a holy decree.
In fact, after Chu Ruoyao heard Lord Chen's words, he was a little distracted, he remembered Li Luobing's cold attitude towards him, he was uncomfortable, during this time, he deliberately told Yang Ning and others not to report everything about Li Luobing to himself, even if they wanted to report something about her, he directly refused them to speak.
Now that he heard Lord Chen say this, he had a vague idea in his heart: It is okay for Lord Chen to do this, so it is good to deal a good blow to Li Luobing's arrogance, otherwise, she will always be so arrogant in front of her, and when the time comes, after she really marries, she will be depressed.
So he acquiesced, and he didn't object to Lord Chen's approach.
Soon, the welcoming team came to Chen's Mansion, took the side concubines of Chen's Mansion into the sedan chair, and then took people all the way back to Yanwang's Mansion.
When the onlookers saw King Yan's situation this time, they watched from the side, and while joining in the fun, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
These ten miles of red makeup are clearly the posture of marrying a concubine, how did you come to Chen's Mansion to greet you? If they are not mistaken, this concubine, this princess Yan is from the Li Mansion? Is it Miss Li San? This...... Is there a mistake?
Whether it's really wrong or not, everything is going on in an orderly manner.
And Li Luobing was in the Li Mansion, she had already put on the wedding dress prepared by the Ministry of Rites, a red and gorgeous wedding dress, with a phoenix crown on her head, and she put on light makeup by herself, and the whole person looked noble and beautiful, she was silently waiting for King Yan's sedan chair to come to the door.
It's just that after a while, Li Yi came to report: said that the welcoming team of Yan Wangfu went to Chen's mansion...... And the sedan chair at the gate of the Li Mansion is not red at all, but pink...... This pink sedan chair is clearly the sedan chair of the side concubine......
When Li Luobing heard the news, he was slightly stunned: Yan Wangfu actually greeted him with the etiquette of welcoming the side concubine? Could it be that the officials of the Ministry of Rites have made a mistake?
It can't be mistaken. Li Luobing remembered where he got the news from Murong Liuyun, and knew that this time Yan Wangfu married a wife, and he married seven women back to the mansion at once, so there must be an official who deliberately disobeyed the yin and yang, and treated his main concubine as a side concubine to marry.
Although she doesn't like King Yan and doesn't care about the position of the concubine, but in ancient times, the power of the concubine was very big, if she was bullied and didn't resist, maybe her life in the Yan Wangfu would be even more difficult in the future.
She doesn't want to live like the real Li Luobing, if she wants to live, she has to live herself, and she must take the initiative.
Thinking of this, she instructed Li Yidao: "What is the reaction of the people in the Li Mansion?" ”
"Miss, the old lady just muttered a few words, and then did not speak. The eldest master and the second master did not express anything, and there was no reaction. ”
Li Luobing didn't expect these people to fight for their own interests, she instructed Li Yi: "Li Yi, you bring the people from the Bai Mansion to the Li Mansion and follow my orders and instructions." ”
"Yes, Miss!" As soon as Li Yi left, Qiao Su came in from outside, and she said cautiously: "Miss, the second master said that he wanted to come in and talk to you!" ”
"I don't have anything to say to him." Li Luobing shook his head and refused.
Qiao Su left, and soon came back, she lowered her head and lowered her eyebrows, and her voice became quieter: "Miss, second master, you must beg Miss to let you see him......"
"Nope!" Li Luobing refused again.
The third time, Qiao Su walked in again, and she said with even more anxiety on her face: "Miss, the second master said that if you don't let him in, he will ...... you and the Wu family's secrets Tell the world. ”
"This bastard!" Li Luobing stood up angrily, with a hint of hatred bursting out of his eyes: "He, as a father, is not good to his daughter, and he dares to threaten his daughter?" What a beast! ”
Qiao Su lowered her head, not daring to reply, so she could only wait for Li Luobing to walk around and say something unpleasant to the second master.
Li Luobing was indeed angry in his heart, before the old lady Wu also told Li Guangyi's wife about herself, knowing that she and the Wu family were grandparents. It can be said that the emperor is so jealous of the Wu family, even if it is the old lady Wu, she does not dare to compete with the emperor, she is an outsider who travels through the country, and has no manpower and material resources, how can she dare to oppose the imperial power?
Once he really became a descendant of the Wu family, then the emperor ...... It is estimated that he squeezed the value of his surplus labor, or destroyed the remnants of his own witch family. Otherwise, Old Lady Wu wouldn't need to protect Wu Mingyue and hide it.
