The three of them walked side by side, opening the way in front of them, and guiding the princess into the city. The people in Shanhaiguan City heard that the princess was married to the prince of Pingxi. The streets have long been crowded with people, competing to see the excitement. Hanging lights in the city, there are archways and happy banners everywhere, and the gongs, drums and firecrackers are shaking the sky.

Song Qingshu carefully observed the terrain all the way, and silently estimated in his heart that the city wall was about fifteen meters high, and the thickness was estimated to be seven or eight meters.

After Wu Sangui got the news of the princess's marriage, he built an Anfu Garden, with a high pavilion, and the victory of the garden pavilion was exhausted. Wu Sangui and his son first led the princess to Anfu Garden to rest, and after greeting the princess through the curtain, they accompanied Song Qingshu and Wei Xiaobao to Pingxi Palace.

The carved wall of the Weige Pavilion of the Pingxi Palace, the red pavilion and the blue marsh, and the inner courtyard of the palace are almost the same. A feast has already been set up in the hall, and hundreds of military officials under the command of the king of Pingxi have come to accompany him. Wei Xiaobao, the minister of the Qin Mission, naturally sat in the chief, and Song Qingshu and Wu Sangui sat on the left and right to accompany each other.

Wei Xiaobao's eyes swept around, and he didn't see Ah Ke's figure, so he was inevitably disappointed, but he also understood that it was impossible for the princess of the palace to come out to greet him.

handed the holy decree to Song Qingshu on the side, motioned him to read it, and seeing that he was puzzled, he hurriedly whispered: Brother Song, it recognizes me with this thing, I don't recognize it, and you also know that I can't read or write......

Song Qingshu smiled understandingly, held the holy oracle, and read it aloud to everyone present. He now has profound internal strength, a clear voice, and full of energy, and every sentence has spread far away. In the field, Wu Sangui's father and son and hundreds of civil and military officials knelt down and listened silently.

In the oracle, the king of Pingxi was rewarded for his high merits, diligence and royal work, guarding the frontier, supporting the barbarians, and all the soldiers under him had hard work, and they were promoted to one level, and the rewards were poor. After the oracle was read, Wu Sangui kowtowed to the south and shouted: "Congratulations to the emperor for his grace, long live, long live, long live!" The civil and military officials also shouted together: "Congratulations to the emperor for his grace, long live, long live, long live!"

Sit down again, after three rounds of drinking, Wu Sangui discussed the auspicious period of the princess with Wei Xiaobao: "The fourth day of the fourth month of the next month is an auspicious day for the zodiac, and the wedding is a happy event, which is auspicious." Lord Wei looks at this day, okay?"

Wei Xiaobao frowned, very unhappy, and thought: "As soon as the princess marries Wu Yingxiong, I can't do this fake horse." He said: "This seems to be too cramped, right? The princess is married, it is not trivial, prince, you have to be well prepared." I won't tell you, this princess is very favored by the queen mother and the emperor, what's the matter, it's very convenient for us to be slaves. ”

Listening to his nonsense, Song Qingshu picked up the wine glass to block the smile on his lips, and smiled secretly in his heart: If you said this before, there would be no problem, but now that Jianning is Mao Dongzhu's identity is exposed, Kangxi and the Queen Mother even wish she was dead, how could there be any favor left?

Wu Sangui was stunned, thinking: "Are you deliberately making things difficult, or are you extorting bribes?" and smiled: "Yes, yes." It's all up to Lord Wei to take care of, if there is anything missing, please give me instructions and guidance, and we should do our best to handle it. If the fourth day of the first month is too hurried, then the ten doors of the next month are also excellent days, and the princess and the child's eight characters are not rushed, and there are no taboos. ”

Wei Xiaobao subconsciously wanted to refuse again, Song Qingshu noticed that Wu Sangui already had anger on his face, and hurriedly came out to play a round: "Don't blame Lord Wei for pushing back, in fact, he has a matter of his own, and he is embarrassed to open up to the prince." ”

Wu Sangui was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself: "Could it be that you really want to ask for a bribe? In front of hundreds of civil and military officials, it is too ugly to eat food." ”

Wei Xiaobao was also taken aback, and hurriedly looked at Song Qingshu, his eyes were full of doubts, and he was uncertain: What does Brother Song mean by this, could it be that he wants to debunk the identity of my fake concubine......

Noticing Wei Xiaobao's pale face, Song Qingshu felt amused and said: "Actually, the emperor remembered that Lord Wei has not yet married, and I heard that the prince has a daughter who is like a flower and jade, and intends to make decisions for the two of them, so this time I sent the two of us here, one is to give marriage, but to propose." ”

As soon as Song Qingshu said this, everyone was shocked, Wei Xiaobao's heart was beating wildly, seeing Song Qingshu moved so much that he was about to cry, and secretly thought: Brother Song is really a friend, if I can really marry A Ke, for his sake in the future, I Wei Xiaobao will not frown when I go to the knife mountain and go down the oil pot. Even if he wants my wife, I don't hesitate...... Uh, Shuang'er can't, anything else......

Wu Sangui's purple face darkened suddenly, he had always looked down on Wei Xiaobao in his heart, and he had seen a lot of Wei Xiaobao's ugliness just now, how could he be willing to marry his beloved daughter to Wei Xiaobao! What's more, he already had an idea in his heart, and he was ready to marry Ah Ke Xu to Prince Bao's son Fu Kang'an, and take the opportunity to form an alliance with Prince Bao to fight against the imperial court together in the future, and it was impossible to allow Ah Ke to marry Wei Xiaobao.

His henchmen knew Wu Sangui's intentions, and they all looked back at Wu Sangui's face. After all, Wu Sangui had been through the storm and quickly calmed down from the shock at the beginning, stared at Song Qingshu and asked, "This marriage, I don't know if the Emperor of the Dao Dao has made a holy decree?"

"Oh, not really. "This is just Song Qingshu's temporary idea, how can he have Kangxi's holy decree. Originally, he planned to directly summon Ah Ke into the palace, but he was worried that Kangxi would be angry afterwards, and out of selfish considerations, he didn't want Ah Ke to be sent to the palace as a concubine.

If Song Qingshu said that he was proposing marriage for himself, firstly, his status is not high now, I am afraid that he will not be convincing, and secondly, thinking that Wei Xiaobao is so obsessed with Ah Ke, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not turn his face with him in a brainless way, but it will cause a big deal. That's why he used Wei Xiaobao as a shield, Song Qingshu knew that Ah Ke hated Wei Xiaobao very much in his heart, and it was much easier to snatch people from Wei Xiaobao than from Kangxi.

Seeing that Wu Sangui was holding back his anger, Song Qingshu continued: "The emperor also thinks that the prince only has such a daughter, and he can't bear to directly issue an edict to force the prince. That's why I was sent to convey this meaning, and as for the final decision, the decision is still handed back to the prince. ”

Wu Sangui's face turned blue and white, and everyone in the audience stared at him to see how he responded.

"Thank you for the emperor's compassion on the ministers," Wu Sangui bowed to the south first, and then said, "It's not that the ministers don't agree, it's just that the little girl has been married to Prince Bao's son Fukangan before, and one daughter can't serve the second husband, so she can only live up to the emperor's kindness." ”
