The next day, the decree of marriage was decreed to the government of the country.

Zhan Xinglan and the Ming Mansion knelt down to greet the decree.

"Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says:

The three colors are the stingers, and the Hongxi gathers. I heard that Zhan Xinglan, the daughter of Zhan Bofeng, the Duke of Ming Guo, has a dignified temperament, is cautious, has the quality of Hui Soft, soft and bright, has the beauty of Anzheng, and is quiet and upright. King Fu Xuanlin dethroned the evil and upheld the righteous, and tempered the honest corner. The two of them have a good fate, and today they specially decreed to give marriage and canonize Zhan Xinglan, the daughter of the Duke of Ming, as the concubine of King Ling. Wangru and the two of them are of one heart and one mind, Luan Feng and Ming, and they will get married one day, and they will get married!"

The shrill voice echoed in the Ming State Mansion, and the father-in-law closed the holy decree and put his hands on Zhan Xinglan.

"Princess Ling, please accept the order."

The floor tiles were cold from her legs into Zhan Xinglan's body, but she didn't feel cold at all.

A pair of slender and pure white hands slowly raised, and the heavy holy decree was placed on Zhan Xinglan's hands.

Zhan Xinglan took the holy decree, raised it above his head and shouted, "Courtiers, thank Your Majesty for your holy grace!"

This decree is like a shackle, and it is like a relief. Chinese Net

But whatever it is, Zhan Xinglan is ready to meet the storm and rainbow.

After the edict was issued, the Ming State Mansion was like a city, and the people who came and went were the families of the dignitaries and dignitaries in Beijing.

The fame of the Duke of Ming is well known in Beijing, and now he is married to the famous King Ling, which can be described as a strong alliance.

Now King Zhuang and King Qi are confined to the palace, the prince has not yet recovered, King Jian has been tepid, but King Ling is reused by His Majesty, and he is a prince with meritorious achievements.

Where the wind blows in the capital, smart people naturally know in their hearts.

Some rejoice, and some grieve.

The prince has been depressed for the past few days, and his original good chess hand was disturbed by Emperor Jing's sudden marriage.

"Fu Xuanlin, this palace and you are incompatible!"

Fu Tingxuan threw the empty gold bottle in his hand hard, and then picked up the wine bottle on the side and poured it directly into his mouth.

At this time, a man walked in outside the hall, and this person was Ao Jin, the right guard of the East Palace.

Ao Jin stepped forward, picked up the gold bottle thrown by Fu Tingxuan from the ground, put it back on the rosewood lacquer table in front of the prince, and then held the sword and handed it over.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, his subordinates sent people to investigate the Yongzhou route overnight, and finally found the body of Zuowei Yin Sixteen under the cliff not far from the Yongzhou Station. It's just that Yin Sixteen's body was bitten by the tiger and only some stumps remained, and the scene was bloody and brutal, and the lower officials didn't dare to present the corpse in front of His Highness."

Fu Tingxuan's face turned red, although his body swayed from side to side, his head was still sober.

"Thick, thick burial Yin Sixteen." Fu Tingxuan closed his eyes, and spoke as if he had stuffed a few pieces of cotton in his mouth, "Also, go and ...... Ke Xiang Invite me to this palace."

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

Ao Jin had to be ordered to go, his eyes were not as sinister as Yin Sixteen, but there was something unclear in his eyes.

After a short time, Ao Jin invited Ke Jingfeng to the East Palace.

But before Ke Jingfeng entered the hall, he smelled the smell of wine in the air.

On the steps outside the temple.

Ke Jingfeng looked at the wine jugs all over the hall and looked at Fu Tingxuan's drunken appearance, and couldn't help but look disgusted.

"How can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince drink like this? When he wakes up, call him here."

"Yes." Ao Jin said respectfully.

Ke Jingfeng brushed his sleeves away, and Ao Jin behind him closed the door of the palace, and then immediately caught up with Ke Jingfeng.

Sensing that Ao Jin was following, Ke Jingfeng didn't squint, and strode behind his back with his hands behind his back.

"The prince knows that Yin Sixteen is dead, but what kind of radical attitude does he have?"

"It's not excessive, just let his subordinates bury Yin Sixteen."

Ke Jingfeng raised his head and looked at the sky, and said meaningfully: "Now that the crown prince has lost power, and the Duke of Ming and King Ling have joined forces, I am afraid that this court will turn the world upside down."

Ao Jin's expression moved slightly, and he said in a low voice, "What does Ke Xianggong mean? But the prince is a concubine after all, even if His Majesty reuses King Ling, I am afraid that he will return it

It's more inclined to the crown prince."

"The heart of an emperor is unpredictable, and a courtier will be able to see and know. If you can sit in this position, how can you not see Your Majesty's thoughts." Ke Jingfeng stopped, turned his head to look at Ao Jin, and said tentatively: "Ao Jin has been serving the prince for a long time, and he forgot who rescued you from the tiger and wolf's den, and who made you sit on the right guard today."

Ao Jin immediately bowed his hand and said, "If it weren't for the kindness of Ke Xianggong, his subordinates would have been killed in Xiangzhou a long time ago. The martial arts skills of his subordinates, and the glory and life are all gifts from Ke Xianggong. Ke Xianggong's great kindness, his subordinates will never dare to forget it!"

Ke Jingfeng nodded, "You don't forget your roots, and your true appearance won't treat you harshly. As long as you are smarter, you will also have a share of the credit for assisting His Royal Highness King Ling to enter the East Palace in the future."

"My subordinates understand."

Recently, the Lingwang Mansion and the Ming State Mansion can be said to be very busy.

Zhan Bofeng was not satisfied with this family matter, but the decree of marriage had been issued, and the matter was already a certainty, and there was no possibility of changing it, so he had to cooperate honestly.

But fortunately, Zhan Xinglan is quite satisfied with this family business, otherwise he would have asked His Majesty to withdraw from the marriage even if he was guilty of resisting the decree.

Red lanterns are hung high in Wangshu Pavilion, and the word "happiness" is plastered all over every window.

The original gauze tent has also been replaced with a red tent, which is full of festive and jubilant atmosphere.

Because it was given by His Majesty and married to the prince of the dynasty, Zhan Xinglan's wedding clothes were rushed out by the Shangfu Bureau, and then personally sent to the Ming Mansion by the inner servant Huangmen.

Zhu Huan looked at this wedding dress from the royal family and said with a smile: "Third lady, look, this wedding dress is so dazzling, it must be dignified and luxurious on your body."

Zhan Xinglan stretched out her plain hand and flicked the wedding dress, Ying Ying smiled lightly, "This wedding dress is really magnificent and flawless, I thought that the dress would be as tacky as Ke Wanning's dress when it was decorated with jewelry, but I didn't want it to look so good."

After a while, a maidservant girl walked in and leaned slightly towards Zhan Xinglan.

"Third lady, His Royal Highness King Ling has come to recruit for the expedition, and now he has arrived in front of the Suzaku Gate."

Zhan Xinglan bowed his head and said, "I know."

The maid stepped back, and Zhan Xinglan leaned over to check her makeup on the left and right sides of the makeup mirror.

Zhu Huan looked at Zhan Xinglan's face full of spring breeze, covered his mouth and smiled, "The third lady is really the one who wants to be the princess of Ling, and when I heard that His Royal Highness King Ling is coming, I pay so much attention to makeup and appearance."

Zhan Xinglan looked at Zhu Huan's playful smile in the mirror, and immediately straightened up and turned his head to say angrily: "If you talk nonsense like this again, I will leave you in the Mingguo Mansion, so that you don't have to take care of your own mouth when you marry me to the Lingwang Mansion."

Zhu Huan was anxious, "The maid has been serving the third lady since she was a child, and she has to protect the third lady even if she dies and turns into a ghost, and the maid will never talk nonsense in the future."

"Silly girl, I'm teasing you." Zhan Xinglan scraped Zhu Huan's nose with his index finger, "Okay, it's not good to let the prince wait, let's go quickly."

At this moment, in the front hall, Zhan Bofeng was pacing back and forth on the floor in solemn clothes.

"Father, you don't have to be so nervous."

Zhan Mobei couldn't help but joke.

"Little bunny, how did you see I was nervous?" Zhan Bofeng glared at him, and asked casually, "By the way, I'm going to be busy preparing for Lan'er's marriage these days, and you will keep an eye on the Xishan military camp, you are familiar with the road, you should know how to deal with it."

As soon as these words came out, Zhan Mobei's eyes widened, and he almost flew with joy.

"Thank you, father!"

Zhan Bofeng said stiffly: "You, you don't have to thank Lao Tzu, you should thank your eldest brother and sister-in-law for spending a lot of words."

As soon as Zhan Mobei heard this, he immediately understood that it was the two of them who went to persuade Zhan Bofeng.

He looked at them a little embarrassed, lowered his eyelids and said shyly, "Big brother and sister-in-law, the second brother has caused you trouble."

Zhan Nanjing patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "We are a family, don't say thank you."

Ye Yunyu smiled and said with relief: "Yes, the second uncle is strong in martial arts, and he should serve the country in the army, my father has already had a plan in his heart, and your eldest brother and I just happened to guess my father's mind."

In the end

Everyone is beautiful, and their speech is dignified and appropriate, which eases the atmosphere like water.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the door.

Deng Bo trotted in and replied, "Grandpa Guo, His Royal Highness King Ling has arrived."

It happened that Zhan Xinglan also came at this time, and everyone hurriedly went out to greet him.

However, as soon as they went out, they were stunned.

More than a dozen big red boxes almost filled the streets, but the team of Nazheng was still coming to the Ming State Mansion.

Only from the front of the door to the end of the street, there are dozens of dowry gifts that can be seen, not to mention more than dozens of boxes.

This is a grand occasion that has never been seen since the founding of the country.

The onlookers praised again and again, and their surprise was beyond words.

Fu Xuanlin's slender thighs landed lightly over the horse's back, and a light red brocade robe made Fu Xuanlin tall and handsome.

He walked towards everyone, but his eyes kept on Zhan Xinglan.

It wasn't until he walked to the door that he bowed down and saluted Zhan Bofeng, "Lord Taishan, my son-in-law has come to recruit for a job."

Zhan Bofeng hurriedly raised his hand to help him up, "His Royal Highness King Ling, please hurry up, how can the minister receive such a great gift from His Highness."

Although Fu Xuanlin's expression was like iron, there was no coldness between his eyebrows, "Grandpa Guo is the Taishan of his son-in-law, and it is natural to salute."

"Your Highness is polite, please go to the mansion."

Everyone followed Fu Xuanlin into the mansion, and those dowries were also carried into the Ming Guogong Mansion one by one.

Zhan Bofeng obeyed the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, and always walked behind Fu Xuanlin.

When the group walked into the front hall, Zhan Bofeng raised his hand and said, "His Royal Highness King Ling, please take a seat."

"Today is an auspicious day, regardless of the monarch and the minister, only about the son-in-law, please Taishan Lord to take a seat."

Fu Xuanlin has a modest tone and generous demeanor, no matter from which point of view, he is a good candidate for a son-in-law.

Zhan Bofeng let out a long sigh, so it seems that he is really a little ignorant, such a good son-in-law and relatives, others can't ask for it, but he shirks it in every possible way.

It's no wonder that Emperor Jing didn't want to deal with him.

"In this case, the old minister is more respectful than obeying."

After that, Zhan Bofeng sat on the main seat.

In the front yard, the guards carrying the dowry were busy in and out, and the big red boxes soon filled the entire front yard.

Zhan Bofeng's throat was dry for a while, and he couldn't help coughing twice.

The sincerity of such a huge dowry gift from King Ling is full, but this is inevitably too extravagant.

"Your Highness, although you and your little daughter are married by His Majesty, it should be more grand, but this dowry is too rich, it is better to hire according to the palace etiquette system, and the rest of the dowry will be withdrawn by His Royal Highness."

Fu Xuanlin looked at Zhan Xinglan, who kept looking out, and couldn't help laughing in his heart, but he still had an iron face on the surface.

"Lord Taishan, these dowry gifts are the son-in-law's affection for the third lady. More than half of them were treasures prepared by my brother-in-law's grandfather in his early years, which were originally intended to be given to my future wife. I also ask Lord Taishan to count the number of dowry gifts and register them."

Speaking of which, Zhan Bofeng also knew Fu Xuanlin's grandfather, when Bai Zheng was dominating the territory, Zhan Bofeng was just a pioneer officer under him.

In that era of frequent wars, Bai Zheng was a terrifying legend.

At that time, Bai Zheng obtained countless gold and silver treasures, all of which were hidden in Anyi Fang, except for his only daughter Bai Rongyue and grandson Fu Xuanlin, no one knew where the treasures were.

And Bai Zheng fought all his life, and it was not until his death that he begged His Majesty to make Anyi Fang the future palace of Fu Xuanlin, which was also the last thing he could do for the heirs of the Bai family.

But Bai Zheng fixed his grave in the wilderness, and finally died alone in the simple coffin.

Whether it is strategy or martial arts, Zhan Bofeng admires Bai Zheng from the bottom of his heart.

Fu Xuanlin moved out of Bai Zheng, and Zhan Bofeng was no longer easy to shirk.

"In that case, old Deng, it is necessary to count the dowry."

Deng Bo stepped back and began to count the dowry.

But the number of dowry gifts is too much, and it took two sticks of incense to count the last few boxes.

During this period, Fu Xuanlin talked about poetics with Zhan Nanjing, and discussed the national situation with Zhan Bofeng, but Zhan Xinglan was bored and drowsy, and he completely lost the ecstasy when he first saw these dowries.

She couldn't stand it anymore, so she simply propped up the square table on the side with her elbows, dragging her chin behind her hand and squinting.

She complained in her heart: "It seems that I am the protagonist of the marriage, why does this guy Fu Xuanlin only talk to his father and brother and ignore me?"

Thinking about it, she wandered into the world.

I don't know how long it took, but my arm gradually became sore, and I lost consciousness.

Suddenly, one of them didn't hold on, and Zhan Xinglan only felt that his body was weightless and fell forward.

But when she woke up, she saw Fu Xuanlin squatting in front of her, holding her shoulders with both hands.
