Chapter 488: Assassination at the Wedding Banquet

Emperor Jianzhang looked at the son of a talented person in front of him, and he was a little envious in his heart, he had a total of three sons, and this was the last one to get married, to say that Emperor Jianzhang's favorite son was undoubtedly the prince Huaiyan, but to say that the most envious was the son in front of him.

Everyone in the world knows that the emperor is good, but they don't know that Gao Tang Mingjing has sad white hair, and there are too many tremors in this position, like walking on thin ice.

Although he was born and grew up in the royal family, it is precisely because of this that he has seen the consequences of too many power struggles, so his ambition since childhood is to be an idle prince and see the great rivers and mountains of this great sign.

But he didn't expect to be pushed to this position by fate, and he could only be imprisoned in the red wall and yellow tiles for a lifetime.

The master of ceremonies smiled: "The newcomer leads the red silk, and the marriage is a thread, and from now on he will always be the same newcomer."

Next, please ask the two newlyweds to bow to the church and worship heaven and earth!"

After the master of ceremonies' voice fell, Chu Huailan led Zhou Yiran and turned around, and the two knelt down to salute.

"Second worship high hall!"

Chu Huailan took Zhou Yiran back and saluted Emperor Jianzhang and the empress.

"Husband and wife worship each other!"

The two faced each other and bowed again.

"Please tie your hair and drink the wine."

At this time, two children, a man and a woman, each came forward with a plate, one with a pot of wine, and the other with a cucumber.

Chu Zhenjie, the old prince of the royal family, stepped forward and said to everyone: "This king has the honor to marry a couple of newlyweds today, the groom Chu Huailan is the grandson of the royal family, the third prince of the royal family, and the bride Zhou is the daughter of the Ministry of Rites.

Today is the day when the two of them get married, please ask Concubine He to come forward to tie the hair for the two newlyweds. ”

Concubine He stepped forward, cut off a strand of Zhou Yiran's hair with scissors, and cut a strand of long hair for Chu Huailan, knotted the hair of the two, tied it with a red rope, and put it on a plate, implying that the hair was tied as husband and wife.

Chu Zhenjie cut open the cucumber on the plate, and the gourd inside had been hollowed out in advance, he lifted the wine jug and filled the cucumber scoop with wine, and said with a smile: "This is a joint wine, after drinking this (9), the two of you will become husband and wife."

I hope that you will respect and love each other in the future, and raise your eyebrows. ”

Chu Huailan took the two cucumber scoops and handed one to Zhou Yiran, Zhou Yiran took it shyly, and the two drank it at the same time.

Chu Zhenjie laughed loudly: "This king announced that the two of you are becoming husband and wife at this moment!" ”

A burst of applause and laughter broke out in the hall, and everyone was congratulating the couple in front of them.

After the ceremony was completed, the maid stepped forward to help the bride to the new house, and Chu Huailan stayed to entertain.

After the end of the ceremony, the hundred officials and women came to the apse of the banquet, Emperor Jianzhang and the queen did not leave directly, but went to the apse together, Emperor Jianzhang did not have many sons, and naturally he was a little more serious in the treatment.

When he arrived at the apse, Emperor Jianzhang and the Empress sat on the main seat, the prince sat under Emperor Jianzhang, and the hand under the table couldn't help but clench slightly.

Because today is a wedding banquet, the women who came to participate were still relatively open, and most of them smiled and talked with people they knew well.

Today, Chu Huaili naturally arrived, he looked at the decorations in the hall with some disgust, and felt that it was really a little shabby, but he didn't want to think about it, Concubine He's mother family was not a powerful family, where could he give him money to Chu Huailan like the Ming General's Mansion.

"The third brother didn't talk about you for his brother, the decorations on your three princes' mansions are too shabby, if you don't have money, tell the royal brother, the imperial brother supports you." Chu Huaili said.

Chu Huaili didn't lower his voice when he said it, so many people heard it, and Emperor Jianzhang's face darkened, "Chu Huaili, on this happy day, you can't stop your mouth when you eat, right?" ”

As for his elm mallet, if it weren't for today's happy day for the three old men, he would have to let people beat him out, since he let himself go, this brain has become more and more stupid, at least he knew how to look at the eyes before, but now he is like the one who has no brain.

General Ming glanced at his grandson, and then at the emperor with a black face, turned his neck, turned his head and didn't see it, they were father and son, His Majesty would not kill him, as for the rest, let him go.

Chu Huaili was reprimanded by Emperor Jianzhang twice, although he was dissatisfied, he still held back his words, he was kind, and he didn't mean anything else, his father really didn't understand him.

Chu Huailan didn't get angry because of this, but said with a light smile, "Thank you Brother Huang for your kindness, Huailan understands it, it's just that I am out all the year round, sleeping in the open, and I am used to being simple, if it is really too luxurious, I am not used to it." ”

Chu Huaili pursed his lips when he heard this, "Fault! ”

Emperor Jianzhang glared at him again when he heard this, but he didn't say anything more because he was afraid of today's scene.

Chu Huaili smiled and did not speak, his eyes seemed to glance out inadvertently.

Although he quickly withdrew his eyes, he was still looked at by Chu Huaiyan, who had been secretly observing him.

Chu Huaiyan glanced in the direction he had just looked at, seemingly inadvertently, but his eyes swept around keenly, only to see nothing, and when he was about to retract his gaze, he suddenly saw a flash of cold light, Chu Huaiyan's pupils were dilated, and he rushed towards Emperor Jianzhang quickly.

"Someone, there's an assassin! Escort! ”

At the moment when Chu Huaiyan rushed up, two arrows shot in from outside the door, one rushed towards Emperor Jianzhang's head, and the other went straight to Chu Huaiyan's previous seat.

Chu Huaiyan left his seat early, so the arrow did not hit him, but hit the pillar behind him, and Emperor Jianzhang also subconsciously bent down because of Chu Huaiyan's reminder and dodged the fatal arrow.

"Ah!!!h

"Ah!!!h

"There are assassins!!!

"Someone! Escort! ”

"Catch the assassin!"

The hall that was still full of laughter and laughter was in chaos, especially the ladies and girls, most of them trembled and shrank in place, but the civil and military officials were still a little calm, even if they were afraid, they trembled and gathered in front of Emperor Jianzhang.

The Imperial Forest Army outside the hall also rushed in immediately after hearing the escort, guarding in front of Emperor Jianzhang, looking out of the door without blinking, trying to find the person who shot the arrow.

"Father, are you alright?" Chu Huaiyan said worriedly.

"I'm fine."

Chu Huaili and Chu Huailan also gathered around Emperor Jianzhang with worried faces.

"Father, if you have something, you can say it, and you must not say it."

Emperor Jianzhang, who was still a little afraid, looked at Chu Huaili's stupid appearance, and suddenly lost all his emotions and wanted to beat his son.

Chu Huaiyan: "Chu Huailan! What are you doing! ”

Hearing the prince's angry rebuke, everyone subconsciously looked at Chu Huailan, only to see the prince tightly holding Chu Huailan's wrist holding the dagger.
