Chapter 925 924 [Jade Ruyi]

The arrival of Emperor Kaiping and Empress Chen was beyond everyone's expectation, especially his next words, which gave many people the illusion of being in another world, as if time suddenly went back to a year ago, when he was treating Pei

The most friendly period.

"Over the years, you have done a lot of work for me and the court, and you have made a lot of contributions, and you have also received a lot of rewards. Generally speaking, the court has not treated its meritorious ministers badly. It's just that in the past few months, there have been some scoundrels like that, who are everywhere.

It is extremely ridiculous to preach that I want to kill all the birds and hide the bows, and destroy the bridges for you to cross the river."

Emperor Kaiping's energetic voice echoed in the hall. After a short pause, he looked at Pei Yue with complicated eyes and said gently: "I am here with the Queen today to represent your parents in high court. Are you willing?"

There was a gasp of surprise among the dignitaries and ministers in the hall. What an honor it is for the ministers to be the descendants of the emperor.

They were just glad that they did not act according to the circumstances. If they had not been present to congratulate them today, it would have been difficult to make amends afterwards.

However, what made the atmosphere a little stagnant was that Pei Yue did not burst into tears of gratitude immediately. He did not know whether he was too surprised by the news or was temporarily speechless because of his excitement. He stared at Emperor Kaiping blankly and did not speak for a while.

If it were any other minister, Emperor Kaiping would definitely change his expression. However, after the previous period of struggle, he seemed to be full of patience with Pei Yue today. He smiled calmly and said: "Why, you don't want to?"

This was naturally a joke. Pei Yue seemed to have finally come to his senses and lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty and your Majesty are very protective of me. I feel so deeply. Is there any reason for my reluctance? It's just that I have not received a notice from the internal prison before.

, so I invited the ruling lord to preside over the ceremony in advance..."

Mo Haoli smiled at the right time and said: "Since Your Majesty and the Empress are here in person, I will naturally be happy and at ease."

In fact, Pei Yue was just a little confused. He had calmed down now. Whether he wanted it or not, the emperor and empress must be his high-ranking officials today. After recognizing this fact, he bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, Empress,

Please take a seat."

Emperor Kaiping smiled meaningfully, then walked to the front seat with Queen Chen and sat down. Mo Haoli confessed his crime and sat on the side seat.

Seeing that everything had returned to normal, Sheng Duanming continued to announce: "The auspicious time has come, and the newlyweds are here to worship!"

"Worship heaven and earth!"

Pei Yue took the two brides to pay homage to heaven and earth.

"Two thanks to Gaotang!"

The three of them turned to face the emperor and empress who were sitting in front of them, and knelt down to salute meticulously.

"Couple greetings!"

Sheng Duanming's loud voice reached everyone's ears, causing all the guests to crane their necks curiously. They saw the three newcomers each occupying a corner, and then they simultaneously bowed towards the middle position.

A burst of good-natured laughter rang out, and the guests were amazed by this rare scene.

Sheng Duanming looked at Pei Yue kindly and said loudly: "The ceremony is completed!"

All the guests cheered.

When the noise subsided a little, Emperor Kaiping looked at Empress Chen, and then heard the Lord of the Sixth Palace say kindly: "Pei Yue, since you are a first-class prince, the two newlyweds will naturally have a second-class marriage after they get married.

The imperial edict of the Marquis of the State does not require any additional reward. Your Majesty just said that you have worked hard over the years and made great achievements in the southern border last year. If you do not receive a reward, you may not be able to convince the public."

Pei Yue lowered his head and responded: "Your Majesty, I am so complimentary. I am just doing my duty and I dare not lie about my achievements."

Although Queen Chen was over forty years old, she was still very well maintained, with a dignified and luxurious temperament. She looked like she was in her thirties. Looking at Pei Yue's serious look, she couldn't help but smile: "You are now a

Waiting for the prince and the head coach of the Beijing camp, but it is

It’s hard to reward you any more. If it were gold and silver, I’m afraid you wouldn’t take it lightly with your current wealth. I have prepared two gifts here, not for you, but for the two brides.

, do you want to refuse on their behalf?"

These words were perfect for her to say. Pei Yue thought about it and had no reason to refuse. He could only look at Ye Qi and Gu Zhen inquiringly.

Empress Chen continued: "I thought about it a lot, and I'm afraid that these two newlyweds may not be worthy of these two beautiful couples, and they may be disliked by Pei Yue, so I found two jade Ruyi from the dowry at the bottom of the box.

, as a gift for the two newlyweds."

The whole hall was shocked.

The two palace ladies each held a jade Ruyi and walked up to Gu Zhen and Ye Qi.

The two girls did not dare to accept it for a while. After all, this reward was too generous, and Ruyi was no better than other treasures. There was a very obvious deep meaning in it.

Empress Chen smiled and said: "Just accept it. If Pei Yue bullies you in the future, with this jade Ruyi, you can enter the palace at any time, and I will naturally make the decision for you."

For this reason, not accepting it would be a crime of disrespect, so Ye Qi and Gu Zhen could only accept it respectfully and express their gratitude.

Pei Yue probably guessed the emperor's thoughts and saluted respectfully: "I would like to thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

Emperor Kaiping was in a daze. This was the first time he heard Pei Yue call himself "Wei Chen".

The king who had been in power for seventeen years nodded slightly and said calmly: "Please send the two newcomers back to the inner house first."

"I obey the decree."

Pei Yue glanced at Emperor Kaiping who was chatting with Mo Haoli with a smile. He escorted Ye Qi and Gu Zhen into the inner house and walked into the five main rooms. Only when there were only the closest people around him, did he sigh heavily.

There was a sound.

Ye Qi said pitifully: "The emperor just wants to ease the relationship with you, why do you need to bear so much pressure?"

Pei Yue shook his head, walked to the table, poured a cup of tea and drank it down. Then he sat slantedly at the table and said, "I hate this kind of disconnected involvement, and I don't want to owe the queen any favors."

Gu Zhen walked slowly to his side, raised her hand to smooth his frown, and said softly: "Brother Pei, I don't know much about the outside world, but I heard Sister Ye talk about it before. Although His Majesty wants to suppress you,

But after all, he won’t force you too much, after all, he still has a lot of things for you to do.”

Pei Yue reached out and held Gu Zhen's tender palm, sighing softly: "Thank you, Sister Zhen'er, for your comfort."

Gu Zhen felt ashamed. She glanced at Ye Qi, who was smiling but not smiling, and quickly broke away and said: "Brother Pei, you should go out to accompany the guests first. Your Majesty and the empress are still outside."

Pei Yue shook his head and said, "No, I want to talk to my two sisters."

Seeing his rogue appearance, Gu Zhen had no choice but Ye Qi stepped forward and grabbed Pei Yue's arm and threw him out. He chuckled and said, "What are you talking about? Don't disturb my chat with sister Zhen'er."

, go quickly!"

Pei Yue could only go to the front hall with a grimace, and there was a burst of laughter behind him.

The banquet had begun in the main hall. Apart from the emperor and empress, only the left-hand governor Mo Haoli was at the main table, and no one else was eligible to sit.

Today's wedding banquet was prepared by a famous chef from Qinyuan, and there were a variety of delicacies including birds, animals, mountains and seas. Moreover, each table had dishes of different tastes, fully satisfying the preferences of all distinguished guests, and even drinks were prepared.

There are several types such as Po Zhen Zi and Spring Bamboo Leaves.

After drinking for three rounds, Mo Haoli stood up and apologized: "Your Majesty, empress, I was just here to help this boy hold a grand ceremony. I am sick and disabled and cannot sit for a long time. I also pray for your forgiveness."

Emperor Kaiping nodded and said: "There is no need to be more polite when Jun Xinggong is here. Pei Yue, please give me a gift for Jun Xinggong."

"I obey." Pei Yue stood up and agreed, then personally helped Mo Haoli out of the main hall.

After passing through the middle gate of the Hou Mansion and walking down the steps to the waiting carriage, Mo Haoli stopped, looked at Pei Yue with his old eyes, and asked gently: "Boy Pei, are you satisfied today?"

Pei Yue showed a wry smile and said, "I have given you two jade handles as I wish. How dare I be dissatisfied?"

Mo Haoli patted the back of his hand gently and said softly: "Little guy, do you still remember what I said to you after the court meeting years ago?"

Pei Yue nodded and said, "Juniors dare not or forget."

Mo Haoli said with a complex expression: "Your Majesty suppressed you out of helplessness, but in my opinion, Your Majesty still hopes to fulfill a relationship between monarch and minister with you, otherwise he would not be where he is today. I know that you have been here for a long time

I have quite a few complaints about His Majesty, but if you put yourself in his shoes and you are unwilling to accept the princess’s offer of marriage, is there a better way to solve the problem?”

He paused and sighed: "It's actually not easy for Your Majesty. You have to be considerate of the Sacred Heart."

Pei Yue looked at the old man thoughtfully.

Mo Haoli smiled kindly, squeezed Pei Yue's hand tightly, then let go, turned around and boarded the carriage with the help of a servant.

Pei Yue watched the carriage gradually disappear at the end of the long street.

Night gradually falls.

There is still a hint of chill in the air.

He couldn't help but tighten his tight clothes, and then turned around and returned home with a calm expression.
