The autumn wind blows, and the autumn sunshine is very warm, but it still makes people feel the slightest chill.
Except for the Supervisory Yuan, which has a very special status in the Qing Dynasty, the yamen of the six imperial ministries are scattered along Tianhe Avenue. This is the cleanest and most beautiful street in Kyoto, novel and tidy.
Usually, Tianhe Avenue is extremely lively.
The household department discussed it carefully and calculated every detail.
Officials in the Ministry of Rites pay the most attention to propriety and propriety, and all of them are well behaved.
And those bosses from the Ministry of War undoubtedly have the loudest voices.
It’s just that the entire Tianhe Avenue is very quiet today. Although today is the day of rest at the beginning of the month, there are usually officials here in twos and threes. Emperor Qing has been known for his diligence since he ascended the throne, so that the following Regardless of their abilities, the courtiers' attitudes are still extremely upright.
Tianhe Avenue was so quiet today that no one was seen.
Even the ordinary people in Kyoto know what a festive day it is today. Officials inside and outside the imperial court are going to give gifts to the East Palace. Most of the officials in the imperial court in Kyoto will attend, and they all secretly Make the congratulatory gift a little more aggravating.
Because many people have heard that the Prime Minister's Mansion has become ruthless this time. The dowry prepared by Lin Ruofu for Wan'er is extremely luxurious, and even half of the huge Prime Minister's Mansion is empty. , to the surprise of the people in the capital, the treacherous prime minister actually cut off two of his legs as a dowry for his daughter
Lu Ze knew what his father-in-law meant.
This large amount of money was largely given to Lu Ze to fill the big hole left in the internal treasury.
Although Emperor Qing did not mention the issue of bad debts in the inner treasury after talking to Lu Ze in the Imperial Study Room, the matter was still spread among Kyoto, and there was no need to think too much about it. It was Li Chengze's people who were deliberately fanning the wind to ignite the situation.
The second prince seemed to be vaguely aware that something was wrong, and was scrambling to express himself during this period.
The problem of internal treasury is naturally one of the topics he fiercely criticizes.
Lu Ze had many ways to solve this problem, but his father-in-law gave him the simplest solution, just use money.
According to Lin Ruofu, any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.
This traitor dares to talk about money, but he also has the courage to spend a lot of money.
Of course, such a generous dowry is also for Wan'er to have a little say in the Prince's Mansion in the future. Although Lu Ze is easy to talk to, there is still a queen behind the East Palace.
To a certain extent, Wan'er's marriage to Lu Ze is undoubtedly more troublesome than marrying into the Fan family.
But unfortunately, neither of the two sons of the Lin family seems to be the kind of person who can carry the family business. The eldest son Lin Dabao is a silly boy, and the second son Lin Gong also has some fatal flaws in his character. I can only place my hope on my new uncle.
On the wedding day, LuZe got up early and was dressed up by three senior grandmothers and four beautiful maids from the palace. The groom's external image was still extremely important on a day like today.
Lu Ze had a little understanding of the various processes of weddings before.
But he still didn't expect it to be so cumbersome that it took nearly an hour to put on makeup and clothes for him in the morning.
There are also professionals sent by the Ministry of Rites to scrutinize various processes from beginning to end. Guo You, the Minister of Rites, is originally from Lu Ze, but today is such an important day and there is no room for mistakes. Lu Ze Wearing a red ceremonial robe with several layers of underwear lining, a golden hair crown on top of her head tightly tied up her long black hair, and a python-shaped white jade belt around her waist, with ears of joy, jade pendants and various other objects hanging on it.
Lu Ze felt a little headache.
Marriage is a complicated process no matter what age it is, not to mention his status is extremely special.
"Your Highness, please go to the front hall to rest for a while."
"There is still an hour and a half before we go to the Lin Mansion to welcome the bride."
< p>When he went to the front hall, Lu Ze's two best men had already arrived.The second prince Li Chengze.
The third prince Li Chengping.
The two princes, the older one and the younger one, were Lu Ze’s best men at today’s wedding. Lu Ze looked at Li Chengping, who had just celebrated his tenth birthday, and saluted him like a kid. With a smile on Ze's face, "Taping came really early today."
Then Lu Ze nodded slightly to the second prince.
The latter also knew what kind of day it was today. Although the fight in the court was very fierce, everyone was still very polite after meeting in private.
"I have met the prince brother."
"My father has told me to be the best man at today's wedding, so I should arrive earlier."
Li Chengze He bowed respectfully to Lu Ze. His eyes were very bright, with clear black and white. He was dressed in gorgeous clothes and already had the temperament of a handsome man. It seemed that all the royal heirs had inherited a good appearance. appearance.
The Emperor Qing and the Empress arrived at a time jam.
Sitting on a luxurious sedan specially made by the Ministry of Industry for two and a half months, Lu Ze and his party set off towards the Lin Mansion.
Wan'er's status as princess only played a role in the palace. Naturally, she could not go to the royal villa to pick up the bride. Wan'er finally fell into the Lin family's side. His Majesty allowed Lin to marry her. Ruofu recognized this daughter, so Wan'er's marriage was not based on princess etiquette.
The streets were already surrounded by people from Kyoto on both sides.
The emperor wanted to have fun with the people when marrying his wife. At this time, the people were vying to discuss this sensational marriage. Little did they know that the crowd was mixed with many spies from the Supervisory Yuan and the emperor's own secret agents. Hu Wei, naturally there is no room for any mistakes in this wedding.
A large group of people spent a long time,Finally arriving in front of Lin's house, the team slowly listened at the door of Lin's house.
What followed was a series of complicated and cumbersome procedures. Although the person who came to pick up the bride was the prince, the Prime Minister's Office still blocked the door very seriously. Mainly because the customs of Qing Dynasty have always been like this, and there was no saying that it could be done. Let the groom's official steal the bride's natal family smoothly.
Lu Ze did not take action.
The two best men, Li Chengze and Li Chengping, showed extremely high entry level, especially the third prince Li Chengping, who had already shown his extremely intelligent side, which attracted applause from those watching from the outside.
After the tedious ceremony was over, Lu Ze finally entered the gate of Lin Mansion smoothly.
Wan'er was slowly walked out with the support of two wives. Today, Wan'er was dressed in bright red, with her beautiful eyebrows spread out, and her beautifully dressed cheeks hidden under the red hijab.
After Lu Ze saw Wan'er, a very understanding smile appeared on his face.
At this time, he felt that such complicated foreplay was not a trouble.
After another set process, Lin Wan'er slowly moved up the lotus steps and climbed onto the sedan. Lu Ze didn't say a word to Wan'er during the whole process, but the deep affection between the two people seemed to make her The two of them were tightly connected.
When the wedding sedan returned to the East Palace, all the guests had arrived. The huge crowd stood together, with the newlyweds' wedding path paved with a long red carpet in the middle.
No one dares to be late at this time.
Because the people sitting on the parents’ chair at this time were His Majesty and the Queen of Qingguo.
These two people were simply dressed up but showed indescribable nobility. The queen saw Lu Ze and Wan'er slowly walking towards the house, with overflowing happiness and excitement on their faces. There were even tears in his eyes.
On the bloody night in Kyoto, her mother’s family was slaughtered.
Today, I can finally see my child blossoming. The queen’s entire life’s expectations have been placed on her only son.
Lu Ze took Wan'er's hand and began to worship.
Originally, the various processes in the East Palace were even more cumbersome, but Emperor Qing never liked to waste too much time on such things, so the Ministry of Rites gritted his teeth and cut off a considerable part of them. I can only say sorry to my ancestors.
After the process, Wan'er was helped by the old nanny to the wedding room to wait for the bridal chamber, while Lu Ze stayed at the banquet to accompany the guests.
Emperor Qing came over during the ceremony, had a quick drink and left with the queen.
On a day like today, Emperor Qing did not drink much. He just said something to the two newcomers and then left.
After Emperor Qing left, the atmosphere at the banquet in the East Palace suddenly became heated. When Emperor Qing was there, everyone did not even dare to speak loudly and drink.
Now it looks like they are coming to the wedding banquet, but no one dares to drink too much and cause trouble. The only people who can come to the royal wedding banquet are from Beijing.The princes and nobles who can be named in the city are all decent people.
Of course someone from the Fan family came.
Although there were rumors of an engagement between Wan'er and the Fan family before, they were not confirmed. Today, Si Nanbo Fan Jian came with his wife and children, but Fan Xian and Fan Ruoruo did not show up.
Fan Jian looked indifferent and went to the banquet like an ordinary guest.
I just occasionally cast my eyes into the inner hall, thinking that this marriage should have fallen on the Fan family. The brat in the family didn't want to come to the wedding banquet. He was vaguely aware of this. Fan Xian seemed to be planning something.
"Chen Pingping"
"Is it really a good thing for you to let Fan Xian take over the Supervisory Yuan?"
At this moment, guests in the mansion are coming and going. clink.
Only an old man who looked like a flower farmer sitting at the main table in the inner hall ate the food regardless of his appearance, and didn't care about other people's eyes. His mouth was full of oil stains, and he looked like he had never eaten the noodles. Same.
But no one dared to say a word, because the second prince Li Chengze was accompanying him.
Because this old man is Prince Jing, the younger brother of Emperor Qing.
The crown prince Li Hongcheng followed his father to the wedding banquet. Emperor Qing drank a total of three glasses of wine at the banquet, one of which was with his younger brother Prince Jing. This scene shocked the capital. Many people once again noticed that the old prince who was idle at home still had full influence.
Especially in the palace.
"Uncle."
"Since you are so interested today, my nephew, I will accompany you to drink more."
Li Chengze accompanied Prince Jing with a smile on his face. Smiling broadly, the uncle and nephew seemed to have a very close relationship.
Everyone in the capital knew that Prince Jing’s eldest son, Li Hongcheng, was very close to the second prince. But at this time, it seemed that the second prince was not only on good terms with the eldest son, but also with Prince Jing who had no intention of courting the court. The relationship is equally good.
Lu Ze soon came to the main table to toast.
The people sitting at this table are naturally the immediate family members of Lu Ze and Wan'er.
Lin Ruofu arrived late on purpose because he did not want to sit at the same table as Emperor Qing. Although the two were related by in-laws, he, the prime minister, did not sit side by side with His Majesty. The truth is that the old fox knew that Emperor Qing would not stay long, so he came a moment late on purpose.
But I didn’t expect that Prince Jing didn’t go with him.
Lu Ze followed the two elders and saluted, and Lin Ruofu nodded slightly. From today on, the Lin family and Lu Ze will both prosper and suffer.
Everyone at the banquet felt that the Lin family had taken a huge advantage. Lin Ruofu had been the prime minister for thirty years, but in the end he even boarded the East Palace ship. Only Lin Ruofu himself knew what was going on.
He is not as happy as everyone imagined.
Because Lin Ruofu’s prosperity will inevitably lead to decline
Looking at Prince Jing, Lin Ruofu felt that this old prince was a truly smart man.people.
Lu Ze followed Prince Jing in saluting and toasting, "Cheng Qian has met my uncle."
Prince Jing silently drank the wine in the glass, glanced at Li Chengze next to him, and said to Lu Ze, " Treat Wan'er well from now on, and have more contact with that brat of mine when you have nothing to do."
The second prince's face did not change.
But there was a storm in my heart, and I had no idea what this uncle meant.
The wedding banquet came to an end quickly with bursts of joyful music and ritual music, and the wedding banquet came to an end quickly. The dust of the prince's wedding was settled, and Lu Ze was sent to the bridal chamber smelling of alcohol. Naturally, at this time No one dared to disturb his bridal chamber.
At night, the East Palace is brightly lit.
The most festive courtyard is filled with red candles and happy words are posted everywhere, which is extremely eye-catching and festive.
Lu Ze began to take the initiative to dispel the alcohol in his body, and his consciousness became clearer. After arriving at this house, Lu Ze finally relaxed physically and mentally. From here on, he will truly 's home.
There are many maids and maids in the house, all of them beautiful.
Originally, she was from the Prince's Mansion, or she came with Wan'er as a dowry, or she was a reward from the palace.
Lu Ze waved his hand, "You can go out. You don't have to wait for me today. Everyone will go to the manager of Nanyuan to receive their share of the reward."
Soon, there was only one person left in the room. Lu Ze and Wan'er got off.
He noticed that Wan'er's hands holding red handkerchiefs were tightly grasped on her knees. Lu Ze smiled and walked forward, taking the initiative to hold Wan'er's cold little hands. "Madam."
Lu Ze gently opened the red hijab hanging on Wan'er's head.
The red cloth was gently lifted by him, revealing the white cheeks of the bride who bowed her head shyly. The red candles were flowing silently in the room, reflecting Wan'er's somewhat nervous eyes that were blinking non-stop. Lu Ze raised his hand and crossed Wan'er's face as smooth as white jade, and the latter's body began to tremble.
Excitement, excitement, shyness, fear
All kinds of emotions were intertwined in the girl. Soon she noticed that the room was dark, and then the two soft red lips were quickly Blocked, all the emotions in the room were covered up by a certain emotion, lingering and pathos.
The lingering sound lingers.
