Chapter 275: Dowry (1st Shift)

The Imperial Study.

Emperor Qingming put Yi Zhi aside and said lightly, "In this way, the Duke of Dingguo has agreed to give marriage."

Wu Jian's back was cold, and he was afraid.

He didn't expect that the emperor could do such a big job under everyone's noses, transfer flowers and trees, and play with everyone.

He stabilized his mind and replied, "Back to the emperor, although the Duke of Dingguo resisted and disliked a lot, he finally agreed."

Emperor Qingming leaned on the dragon chair, his face gloomy.

After a moment, he said, "King Xuancheng."

Wu Jian promised to go out.

Soon after, King Chengjun came in.

He arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty."

Emperor Qingming said, "Pass the order, strengthen the palace defenses, close all palace bans, and no one will have to enter the palace."

Surprise flashed in King Chengjun's eyes, and he arched his hand and said in a deep voice, "The minister obeys the order!"

Emperor Qingming said, "Including King Jin." new

"Yes!"

King Chengjun hurriedly left the imperial study.

In the dark night, the high walls of the palace are shadowed and shadowed, and the swords and arrows are faintly visible, and the dark tide is surging.

Zhao Chengyuan unfolded the edict on the bookcase, looked at the half of the seal on it, and his phoenix eyes were gloomy.

The marriage decree is given in duplicate, combined with the seal on the seam, and can be combined into one party. For this kind of edict in duplicate, the imperial brother has always acted in this way.

Another edict, the imperial brother used it for the Zhenguo Mansion, right?

If the Duke of Dingguo agrees, the decree is wrong, and the marriage is invalid. If he does not agree, the royal brother can take advantage of the situation to withdraw the marriage decree.

In this way, the two edicts of the Queen Mother have been invalidated, and everything is renegotiated.

If I want to ask for a marriage decree from the Queen Mother again, I am afraid it will be difficult. And the imperial brother had no scruples, and then took advantage of the courtiers' verbal criticism to suppress him.

Even, the royal brother said that he would not issue another marriage edict to marry the prince and Youning.

Zhao Chengyuan rolled up Yizhi, put it in the box, opened a secret compartment on the bookcase, and put it away.

He got up and walked out of the outer study.

The sky is clear, and the stars are splendid.

He walked in the direction of the inner house with his hands in his hands.

Ye saw that he didn't leave the mansion, he was very surprised, and said indignantly, "Lord, shouldn't you go to the palace to settle accounts with the emperor? Let him make another edict!"

Zhao Chengyuan said lightly, "This king wants to marry Zhaoping, why do you need him to agree."

He entered the inner house, walked through the winding path of the bamboo forest, and came to a closed moon gate.

The mother-in-law guarding the door is conscientious, not afraid of the cold wind of the winter night, wrapped in a cotton robe and standing by the door.

"Open the door."

When the mother-in-law saw the person coming, she hurriedly knelt down and said goodbye, "Lord Wang!"

He got up again and took the key to open the door.

Zhao Chengyuan passed through the Moon Gate and went to the Marquis of Anling's Mansion next door.

The mother-in-law looked at the moon-white back in a daze, oh my God, the prince has never walked through this door since he was older!

Something big is wrong!

Zhao Chengyuan went straight to Old Madam Lu's Autumn Mountain Hall.

Mrs. Lu fought against the old marquis Lu in the courtyard, and the forty-pound big knife was tiger in her hand, so she played a huge knife flower and threw the big knife to the old marquis.

She said refreshedly, "You've been regressing lately, where is your job to write poetry?" Leave the business behind!"

Old Marquis Lu easily caught the big knife, his shoulders were wide and his back was wide, and he followed behind her with a smile, "I'm a Confucian general, how can I do it if I can't recite poetry?" Didn't you take a fancy to me in the first place?"

Old Madam Lu gave him a blank look, "You can't figure out your own position in your life."

Old Marquis Lu looked up to the sky and sighed, women, they are always so duplicitous.

He glanced through the hall and saw a jade-white figure, standing tall. Silently, I don't know how long I've been standing there.

Old Marquis Lu frowned and said, "A-Yuan? Why are you here at night?"

Influence our husband and wife love!

Old Madam Lu glared at the old marquis and asked Zhao Chengyuan, "But what's the urgency?"

Zhao Chengyuan arched his hand and said, "Uncle, I'll come to pick up the four pairs of jade bracelets left by my mother."

Old Madam Lu was overjoyed when she heard this, "You have finally figured it out! Are you going to marry a daughter-in-law?"

Zhao Chengyuan nodded slightly, "Yes."

"Who is it? Ning girl?"

"Yes."

"That's right! That little girl is blessed, and she can't be wrong!" Old Madam Lu strode towards the main room and said in a loud voice, "You wait!"

But after a while, she came out with a small box and stuffed it into Zhao Chengyuan's hand, "Tell me, how good you listened to me at the beginning, going around and around, don't you have to give it back to her?"

"Aunt Xie."

Zhao Chengyuan took the box and walked out.

Old Madam Lu asked, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave?" I also want to ask you about the matter of the Zhenguo Mansion today, and the emperor will not pursue it?"

Zhao Chengyuan said, "I still have to go to find the wild goose, and I will talk to my aunt about this matter another day."

Old Marquis Lu suddenly felt that his nephew was a little stupid, "Where are you going to find geese in winter? It's still night! I wasn't in a hurry for so many years before, but now I can't even wait a night when I'm in a hurry!"

Zhao Chengyuan continued to walk and said lightly, "I can always inquire."

"Stop!" Old Madam Lu yelled and stepped forward to grab his arm, "Follow me!"

Mrs. Lu led the way, and the three of them walked through the dark garden, and finally stopped in a remote courtyard.

The courtyard was built high with high wooden shelves on the surrounding walls, and the whole garden was covered with huge nets.

When I entered the courtyard, I heard the sound of fluttering in the house.

The subordinate opened the door, and there were dozens or hundreds of geese inside, frightened and fluttering their wings and flying, making a quacking and hoarse sound.

Old Madam Lu said arrogantly, "You can choose as many as you want!"

Zhao Chengyuan's cold face had a slight expression, "How did my aunt raise so many geese?"

Old Madam Lu snorted, "Originally, there were only four pairs, which were prepared for you and the three of their brothers, thinking that they would all propose marriage at any time when they reached the age of marriage. I don't think that after so many years, none of you have become married, but this wild goose has hatched one nest after another!"

--

The lanterns of the Jin Palace's mansion were lit up for a night, and the outer study was brightly lit overnight.

Early in the morning of the second day, the red carpet paved in front of the Jin Wangfu, the door god and the couplet took on a new look, hung red lanterns, and the word double happiness was red silk.

With the sound of firecrackers, a dowry team came out of the Jin Palace, and the heroic palace guards tied red scarves around their waists, carrying the dowry and beaming.

The first red lacquer tray on a roll of bright and dangling decrees, tied with red ropes, given by the Queen Mother.

The second red lacquer tray is a huge emerald jadeite, given by the emperor.

The third lift is four pairs of green jade bracelets, given by the Queen Mother.

The fourth lift is a box of black purple bamboo tube wine, which was brewed by the prince of Jin himself.

It's a pair of geese.

The sixth lift is ten thousand taels of gold.

The seventh lift is ten thousand taels of silver.

At the back of the team, there are 100 tall horses with clear bones and handsome bones, golden and silver, with light hooves, draped in red silk, and the momentum is strong and heroic.

Ten miles of red makeup, mighty and mighty, alarmed the entire capital.
