On the sixth day of the seventh month, the day before Li Jinyan's wedding.

According to the ancestral system, he will enter the palace on this day to greet the Queen Mother. This is the last time he enters the harem alone, and the next time he asks for peace, he will take the princess into the palace together.

The Queen Mother secretly gave him a lot of money, and told him, "Now that I have a family, I have become a man who stands up to the sky, and I want to support the family for a while, and I can't live in the same mess as before, understand?" ”

"Understood!" Li Jinyan agreed, but his hands kept secretly counting the 'big red envelopes' given to him by the Queen Mother.

After pleasing the Queen Mother here, it is indispensable to go to Li Mobai again.

When he came, Li Mobai was summoning the minister in the Shang study, and he waited in the side hall for a while.

After Li Mobai was busy, Sanfu led him to meet him.

Li Mobai seemed to have expected him to come, so he sealed the red envelope and put it on the dragon case early in the morning.

Li Jinyan's eyes lit up as he stared at the red envelope, Li Mobai didn't say anything, and nodded his finger on the dragon case to signal him to come forward and get it.

The red envelope was fluttering lightly in his hand, and Li Jinyan said curiously while opening it: "How many silver tickets did my brother give?" Look at it, I got you into a lot of marriages, and I have to give me money privately, how embarrassed I am. Otherwise, I don't want this money, right? ”

He was obviously talking back, Li Mobai only smiled and said: "I give it to you, you will take it, between you and my brothers, you don't have to be polite." ”

Li Jinyan happily opened the red envelope, but the silver ticket was not seen, only a red wedding paper was seen inside.

Above are the four big characters that Li Mobai dropped with his pen

- 'Contentment and Happiness'.

Li Jinyan carefully flipped through the red envelope again, and kept muttering, "What about the silver ticket?" ”

"When did I tell you it was a silver ticket?" Li Mobai pointed to the words on the red paper and said: "Contentment and happiness, these four words, every word is worth a thousand gold, I will give it to you, is it more meaningful than how much money it is?" ”

Li Jinyan stared at Li Mobai quietly, staring at Li Mobai, choked and couldn't say a word for a long time.

￣□￣｜｜

Li Mobai smiled: "You don't have to thank me so much, it's all your imperial sister-in-law's credit." She came up with all the ideas, and you can thank her personally at tomorrow's wedding banquet. ”

Li Jinyan, who came back to his senses, clenched his back molars, and a sentence popped out of his mouth word by word,

"That, but, really, yes, thanks, thanks, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, !!"

"You're welcome, I love your younger brother, and your imperial sister-in-law should be the same. Your seventh brother set up a banquet in Tonghuatai, cooked it himself, and used it in the palace for lunch. Before you get married, you have a good drink with you for the last time. ”

Ruiwang's craftsmanship was famous in Jiangdu in the past.

I can't get any benefits here from Li Mobai, and it's not bad to have a good meal.

"That's okay, but my brother has to take out the aged 'Drunken Immortal Brew', you can't just use some ten-year aging to fool me."

On the day of the banquet, the three brothers drank and laughed, saying that in the past, the Tao is now, and the future is like returning to the old times when they lived in the palace in the palace.

After drinking two cups, Li Mobai was only drunk, so he mentioned something to the two, "I plan to release the eighth child from the Zongren Mansion in a few days." ”

King Rui said: "The eighth brother competed for the throne with the imperial brother that day, and when he failed, he wanted to assassinate the imperial brother, he had no courage at all, and he was a despicable and shameless villain." Such a rebellious minister and thief, the emperor's brother is already merciful in keeping his life, how can he still be released? ”

Li Jinyan also said: "He is narrow-minded and has a bad heart. He always bullied me when he was a child, brother, have you forgotten? He also put dirt and mud into the rice for me to eat. Compared with him, who was also born to Empress Zhaorong, the ninth brother is much better than him. Tell Brother Jiu about the wedding banquet, and Brother Jiu prepared a big statue for me to send Guanyin to the house without saying a word, and said that he would have a drink with the royal brother on the day of the wedding. ”

"I know what you're talking about, but I owe him everything. At the beginning, his father wanted him to be the emperor, but in the end he was more than me. It's just because my father went suddenly, and I didn't have time to leave an edict. And I have the support of the Zhu family, so I will successfully ascend the throne. The eighth man resents me in his heart, and I can understand it. He has been imprisoned for five years, and he is no longer a climate, and he can't set off any storms. If he is willing to settle down, it is not impossible for me to allow him to have a foothold in Jiangdu. ”

Li Jinyan was still persuading Li Mobai to think twice, but King Rui had already stopped talking.

He knows what Li Mobai's real intention is in doing this.

He just wanted to show the courtiers of the previous dynasty.

Zhu's family is in a state of decay, and how many courtiers are talking about him behind his back that he is a ruthless and unrighteous king.

At this moment, releasing the eighth child can save his reputation and stabilize the court, which is a good strategy.

And even if he releases people, Zai Jiangdu points out the mansion for him to live in, and then gives him some money to make a deal, and he will definitely not be able to be crowned king.

It's nothing more than coming out of the Zongren Mansion and changing to a relatively open place to become a prisoner.

So King Rui patted Li Jinyan on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "The imperial brother does this, naturally there is a reason for the imperial brother." This is a family matter, but also a national matter, the twelve, let's talk more, but we will do politics. ”

Li Jinyan stopped persuading each other at this time. And Li Mobai raised his glass to King Rui in the air, smiling and swaying it.

It doesn't matter, it's all in the wine.

*

The next day, King Jing got married, and Jiangdu was a grand event.

Early in the morning, less than four watches, the team to welcome relatives had already been prepared outside King Jing's mansion.

And Ding, the head of the palace, was in a hurry at this moment.

"Boss Wang, you have to have an idea!"

"Seeing that the sky is about to dawn, the emperor, the queen mother, the queen, Concubine Rong, King Rui, King Qing, they are all coming to the wedding banquet. At that time, the people watching outside don't know how many, the protagonist of the prince is gone, how to explain to the Protector Mansion? ”

"Yes! On the day of the wedding, the groom official did not appear, didn't he slap the bride in the face? ”

In the midst of the chatter of the house slaves, the king was also in a hurry.

I know that my master loves to play, but I haven't seen anyone who loves to play so much before marriage.

Yesterday, he said that he went to the palace to ask the Queen Mother for peace, and this invitation was gone.

"Isn't it still in the palace? If the emperor left him to drink, he would drink so much that he might fall asleep somewhere when he was drunk. ”

Last night, I sent a house slave to look for Li Jinyan in Jiangdu City all night but didn't find Li Jinyan's shadow, maybe he was really in the palace.

So the king took the token of the palace and hurried into the palace.

The inner supervisor in front of the emperor brought him to Sanfu, and Sanfu was so anxious when he heard this that he burned his eyebrows, "You can talk nonsense!" Yesterday, before four o'clock, it was the miscellaneous family who personally sent His Royal Highness King Jing out of the palace, how could it be ......"

Sanfu realized the seriousness of the matter as soon as he got together, so he hurriedly said: "Hurry up, walk with the miscellaneous family, and take you to see the emperor!" ”
