Chapter 198: Marriage robbery
Early the next morning, everyone was ready to stop, and the entire imperial palace was newly decorated!
The whole color is mainly gold and red, and the white marble steps are paved with a bright red carpet; On the railing of white marble, red silk flowers are hung; The red pillars are entwined with golden satin; Needless to say, the big and small officials piled up the red and yellow ones on their bodies, and even the eunuchs and maids in the palace wore red hats and yellow belts; Even the flowers and plants were sprinkled with yellow and red flowers......
Such a scene made Lao Qing'e, the eunuch of Jiaofang, also amazed, saying that he had never seen such a big battle, and it is estimated that even the legendary Merry Emperor, the Emperor surnamed Li who wanted a beauty and not a country, when he married a concubine surnamed Yang, it was not as pomp as today!
After everyone was ready to stop, they waited for the Great Khan of the Steppe Khanate to send someone to greet them. But waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, until noon, but still there is no shadow of the greeting procession!
The Emperor was furious: "Boy Gusley, you are too much to deceive! ......" punched the golden case in front of him, shaking the dragon's claws, no, it hurt, but there was nothing to be done, so he had to shout: "Where is the prime minister?" Hurry up and send someone to urge! ”
Soon, the person sent to urge reported that Gesli Khan over there had said that he would not be able to welcome his relatives until evening, otherwise it would be ominous!
When the emperor heard this, he was even more annoyed: "hu."
da
! Tell them! According to the rules of our Central Plains Empire, you can't greet your relatives more than noon! It's bad luck after noon! Today, I made an exception and postponed it for another two hours! Otherwise, I, the princess, would rather not marry! ”
So the prime minister had no choice but to send someone to communicate the matter again. Soon, the fast horse returned: "Gesli Khan still replied that he must wait until dusk and the sun goes down to greet him!" ”
When the emperor heard this, his lungs were about to explode, and he stretched out his hand to signal: "Bring the wine!" The eunuch hurriedly handed over the wine glass, and the emperor felt that it was not enjoyable after drinking: "Come again!" ”
The eunuch did not dare to disobey, so he had to continue to deliver wine. The Emperor drank until he was drunk, and then he waved his hand: "I have decided!" ”
The ministers were already hungry, and they wished that the emperor would decide to open the banquet. The imperial kitchen has already prepared all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, just waiting for the emperor to wave his hand!
But the emperor's next words disappointed the ministers: "I ...... Just wait! ”
After saying this, the emperor muttered: "I'm sleepy, sleep for a while!" Then he lay down on top of the golden case and began to fall asleep!
When the ministers saw this, they had to pout and shake their heads, saying nothing to say.
The eunuch was afraid that the emperor would catch a cold, so he hurriedly asked the maid to bring a brocade quilt and put it on the emperor.
Time passed little by little, and the snoring of the earth still echoed in the Jinluan Palace. The people were anxious, but they did not dare to wake him.
Suddenly, the emperor lifted the brocade quilt: "What time is it?" ”
The eunuch was startled, and hurriedly replied: "Return to the Emperor, it's almost time!" ”
The Emperor burped, stretched, and said, "No wonder, I'm a little hungry...... What bullshit Gusley Khan, don't wait for a ball! Let's have a feast! ”
"Emperor Shengming!" I am afraid that this sentence was what everyone present wanted to say, but no one dared to say it, so they just acted immediately.
For a while, the delicacies of the mountains and the sea came together, turning the entire square outside the Jinluan Hall into a huge banquet place!
The emperor sat in the middle of the upper seat, surrounded by his concubines and beauties, and was about to raise the golden chopsticks and order the ministers to move, only to hear the sound of drums and horses' hooves in the distance!
"It's coming, it's coming! It's a welcoming party! "Someone came quickly. The concubines and ministers got up one after another, and were about to go to their respective jobs, only to hear the emperor roar: "Don't move!" Panic what! ”
After the emperor finished speaking, he put down his chopsticks heavily: "Is this a kiss?" Is my princess really so ugly? Is it a shame to marry me? If this matter spreads out, won't it make those countries like Sudan and Arabia laugh at it! ……”
In the midst of this, I saw a group of people holding scimitars and wearing animal skins, flying horses, all the way to the square! The leader is tall and big, wearing a fur hat, two long pheasant feathers inserted into it, and riding a tall horse with a white body under him, which should be Gesli Khan.
I saw him turn over and dismount, kneeling on the ground: "The steppe Khan, son-in-law Gesli to meet the Emperor of the Central Plains and his father-in-law!" ”
When everyone saw this battle, they only felt that this atmosphere didn't look like welcoming relatives no matter how they looked at it! But in the face of these bright scimitars, as well as these strangely dressed barbarians, I don't know what to do!
After all, the emperor is the emperor, and he has completely understood at this time, so he cleared his throat and said, "It's great to have friends from afar!" Invite Gusli Khan to the feast! ”
But Gesli Khan glanced left and right and said, "May I ask the Emperor, where is the princess?" ”
The Emperor smiled slightly and said, "You have come from afar, please enter the banquet first!" For the matter of welcoming relatives, you can choose another auspicious day! ”
But Gesli Khan stopped talking, stood up, and turned straight away!
The Emperor's eyes widened, his mouth stammered, and he stared blankly at the back of Gusley leaving: "He...... He ......"
The ministers can't turn the corner for a while! I saw Gusli put his hand in his mouth and blew a whistle, and the horses behind him quickly divided into multiple ways and galloped around the palace, as if they were in a no-man's land!
"Where are the Guards?" Seeing this, the Emperor hurriedly shouted.
"Don't panic! We're here to escort you! A group of men and horses of the Imperial Forest Army came quickly, surrounded the Emperor, and blocked the Emperor's view
After a period of panic, when everyone settled down again, the Emperor found that his Imperial Forest Army was already under the scimitars of the warriors brought by Gusli, and the ministers were driven to one place, squatting on the ground and holding their heads, embarrassed!
At this moment, Gesli Khan had already carried Princess Lengyue on horseback and stood in front of the Great Emperor again!
Princess Lengyue's face was still as pale as ice, and in the arms of Gesli Khan, she looked down at the emperor and said: "The emperor is panicking, this is just the custom of robbing relatives in the steppe khanate, and it is not disrespectful to the emperor and the Central Plains Empire, and I hope the emperor will forgive me!" ”
The emperor was still full of doubts at the moment: "What my son said, but is it true?" ”
Princess Leng Yue's face changed slightly at this time: "That's true! The old prime minister had already informed his daughter of this custom, so her daughter did not panic, but unfortunately ......"
The Emperor exclaimed, "Huh? Why didn't this old guy say it earlier! Too bad! ”
Princess Leng Yue said: "From today onwards, my daughter will go, and I swear to the sky that I will never step into the Central Plains Empire again until I die!" Take care! Forgive my daughter for not being able to pray goodbye when she is on a horse! "Anyway, tears are falling!
