Chapter 400 Hao Li
When the days are free, time seems to pass quickly.
After the court meeting was awarded, people from the Ministry of Rites began to prepare for the wedding for Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming took advantage of this period to visit relatives and friends to strengthen his relationship with court officials. Of course, the most important relationship was Luo Quan, Du Boyuan, Qin Rui, Zhu Yushu and others.
After all, this is his team in Chang'an. These days, they have been shielding themselves from the wind and rain in Chang'an.
Especially when searching the East Palace this time, Du Heng deliberately proposed to search the East Palace because he understood that Xiao Ming was inconvenient to make this request.
What he said seemed to be justified. Of course, Xiao Minghe and Du Boyuan and others knew when they went out for a trip.
In addition to these old friends, there is another difference that there is always a lot of traffic in front of his palace now.
Some merchants who wanted to go to Qingzhou to do business came to visit Xiao Ming in hopes of successfully entering the chamber of commerce, while more were the powerful and officials from Chang'an.
These officials, from royal relatives and nobles to ordinary officials, were all prepared with generous gifts to make a familiar face in front of Xiao Ming.
In the past, only a few other princes could enjoy this kind of treatment, but now he finally experienced it, which is enough to show the change in his current status.
As the days pass by, Xiao Ming is also busy with the marriage while entertaining people of all kinds.
This time his wedding with Fei Yueer was scheduled for the 16th of that month, and it is said that this day is a good day.
According to the rules of the Great Yu Kingdom, before getting married, the emperor also needs to give gifts to the princess's house, and also hold a wedding banquet at the princess's house.
As usual, the Ministry of Rites prepared fifty tables of banquets, went to the princess's house to celebrate, and set up a band.
All the Dukes, Marquis Shiju, Inner Ministers, Guards, and officials and wives of second rank and above who were not on duty gathered at the banquet on the same day.
After the wedding banquet, the next day was Xiao Ming’s wedding day, which was the wedding of the Great Yu Kingdom.
Early that morning, Fiji sent someone to deliver the makeup to the royal palace.
Xiao Ming went to the palace wearing a prince python robe for getting married.
At this time, Xiao Wenxuan, Empress Zhao and Concubine Zhen were already waiting for him in Bishui Pavilion.
"Xiao Ming, see the father, the queen, and the mother."
After saying that, Xiao Ming knelt down and performed the ceremony of three kneelings and nine kowtows. This etiquette is equivalent to kneeling for worship among the people.
Queen Zhao was particularly happy these days. She worked a lot on Xiao Ming's marriage, and at the time of the wedding, she also gave Fei Yueer a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, silk, and satin.
Seeing these rewards, Xiao Ming naturally knew what Queen Zhao thought. Now the princes have made a letter of title and the position of the prince is stable. Now they have eased relations with Xiao Ming. In the future, the prince ascended the throne, and Xiao Ming can also guard the frontier for the prince.
"The King of Qi is free from gifts. Today is your wedding day. Now the entire palace is becoming more and more festive. The palace has not been so lively for many years. I am still full of joy in your joy." Queen Zhao smiled with her lips pursed.
Xiao Wenxuan was also happy. He had never been so relaxed today in more than ten years.
Since Xiao Ming repelled the barbarians and guarded Shanhaiguan, he obviously felt that the ministers in the court had become much more honest. Although there were still constant party struggles, not many people paid tribute and married off again, and they also had a layer of fear of him.
He knew very well that there was no threat from the barbarians in the north, so Xiao Ming could free up his hands to deal with them and the master behind them, because they were all cautious.
And more so, Xiao Ming has now become the magic needle for the Great Yu Kingdom to stabilize the country, and no one wants to touch this brow again. Therefore, the voices of Fiji, Luo Quan and others in the court became increasingly high.
"The Queen said it is right. Today is your happy day. Not only the Queen, but I also have your joy. Just calm down. You have a lot of things today."
Xiao Ming responded and stood up slowly.
He never likes tediousness, but this ancient wedding was the most tedious thing.
Xiao Wenxuan and Empress Zhao were very happy, but Concubine Zhen wiped her tears from time to time.
Seeing this, Xiao Ming advised: "Mother, today is a happy day for the child, why do you always cry?"
"Mom is happy. From today on, you will truly start a family and start a business. In the future, you must manage it carefully. Come to Chang'an when you have time." Zhenfei said.
Xiao Ming nodded when he heard this. If anyone in the Great Yu Kingdom has the most affection for him, it must be Concubine Zhen. Therefore, when Concubine Zhen was crying, he felt panicked.
After performing the kneeling ceremony, the inner supervisor will go to marry Fei Yue'er.
At this time, the Luanyi Guard had prepared a 8-carrying sedan chair surrounded by red satin and was preparing to marry the new one.
When the auspicious time came, Luanyi Guard carried the sedan chair out of the palace and headed straight towards Fei Mansion.
Xiao Ming went straight back to the royal palace and waited for Luanyi Guard to send Fei Yueer over.
"Your Highness, congratulations!"
On the day of the wedding, the powerful and high-ranking officials from all over Chang'an arrived at the palace. They prepared wedding ceremony and came to congratulate.
"Thank you, thank you." Xiao Ming said to Luo Quan, and then there were Luo Hong, Du Heng, Yu Ming, Chao Jun and other officials below.
"Nephew, Uncle Wang has prepared a big gift for you today, with gold, silver and jewelry worth 200,000 taels." King Yong and King Wei came together, and their gifts were all pulled in a carriage.
The King of Wei also said: "Congratulations to the nephew for his wedding, and a special gift of 300,000 taels."
At this moment, Xiao Ming grinned. This time he realized what wedding wealth was. If he had a few more weddings, he would not have to worry about spending money.
"Thank you, thank you, please, please, please."
The King of Wei and King Yong bowed and entered together.
Then several carriages were parked outside the door, and the servants who came shouted: "The King of Runan congratulations to His Highness the King of Qi on his wedding, and specially presented a pair of jade Ruyi, a pair of pearls and treasures, and a thousand taels of gold."
"The King of Chu congratulates His Highness of the King of Qi on his wedding..."
"The King of Huainan congratulations to His Highness King Qi for his wedding..."
“…”
After reading out one by one, Xiao Ming became more and more happy. This trip to Chang'an seemed worth it.
At this time, the inner magistrate had already put the colorful sedan chair in Yufei's mansion in the middle hall, and Fei Yue'er walked out of the fragrant pavilion in a red dress.
With the help of the maid, slowly get on the sedan chair and get off the curtain.
Fiji stood outside the door and was also constantly greeting the officials who came to congratulate him, with a strong smile on his face.
The number of officials coming this time was actually more than when his eldest daughter married the prince, which made him look gloomy.
The auspicious time has come, and the sedan chairman gets the sedan chair.
He carried Fei Yue'er to Xiao Ming's palace, and Fei Yue'er was already crying in the sedan chair.
After this time, she didn't know when she would be able to reunite with her family. She married far away in Qingzhou and had no relatives around her, so she naturally felt uncomfortable.
Moreover, although King Qi is famous, she is not sure what exactly she is, and she is nervous and afraid.
