Chapter 350 Princess Married

Fei Zhen'e returned to the palace and reported to Han Zanzhou and two old palace maids what happened last night.

"Since the prince-consort has no problem, this matter is settled." Although he had known that Zhao Peng would definitely have no problem, Han Zanzhou was relieved after hearing Fei Zhen'e's report. After all, this is a lifelong event for the princess. If Zhao Peng was a eunuch, then the emperor could choose to break the engagement. But after breaking the engagement, where would the princess find such a good man?

Fortunately, everything was fine, and the princess's lifelong affairs were guaranteed.

"Last Emperor!" Han Zanzhou knelt on the ground, facing north, and burst into tears. "Last Emperor, Eunuch, the little emperor is getting married, and His Highness the Princess is getting married, and you can be relieved in the spirit of heaven."

Han Zanzhou has always been Wang Chengen's person, and Wang Chengen is as kind as a mountain to him. Wang Chengen left with Chongzhen, and Han Zanzhou naturally had to take on the heavy responsibility of serving Zhu Cixuan and Princess Kunxing. Now Zhu Cixuan has married the queen and the imperial concubine, and Princess Kunxing is about to get married. Han Zanzhou feels that the burden on him is much lighter.

Within this month, Zhao Peng handed over the decoration of the mansion and preparing various matters to his brothers. Anyway, he knew nothing about these things, so it would be better to leave them to others to handle them. He stayed in the shipyard every day and cared about his large flying scissors.

However, Zhao Peng's brothers were all vulgar martial artists, and they were also half a bucket of water in marriage. However, these Jinyiwei had some solutions. They invited a few experienced big-footed old ladies, that is, matchmakers, stable ladies and others to help.

Those three aunts and sisters had nothing to do all day long, and they just did this kind of thing. It was not the matchmaker's turn to get married. However, the men's Jinyiwei knew nothing, so these matchmakers helped and guided the Jinyiwei to do what they should do and prepare something, and anyway, they would make money.

Soon, the day for the sect was coming. On this day, Zhao Peng needed to bring a group of brothers to send big gifts to the palace.

The bidding is a big gift, that is, the formal betrothal gift. The betrothal gift that Zhao Peng planned to send to the palace was 200,000 yuan in cash. According to the purchasing power of one tael of silver that year was equivalent to the purchasing power of one thousand yuan in later generations, this was a sky-high betrothal gift worth 200 million! The trothal gift of 200 million is probably not willing to take it out even if Ma Yun’s son got married.

However, according to the rules of the past, the woman would not keep the dowry given by the man in her home, but the woman would also put a dowry on her and take her daughter back to her in-laws' home together with the dowry given by the man.

Zhao Peng married the princess and gave him a bride price of 200,000 taels of silver, but it is estimated that Zhu Cixuan would prepare more dowry for his sister, and it would definitely not be less than 200,000. Just counting at 300,000, Princess Kunxing could bring at least 500,000 taels of silver back.

Although the dowry and dowry will be the princess' private property in the future, if Zhao Peng needs it, the princess who understands the righteousness will definitely not fail to take out the money. With Zhao Peng's ability to make money, it is definitely impossible to use this money, so that money can be left to his descendants in the future.

Early in the morning that day, Zhao Peng took the Jinyiwei and drove ten large carts of dowry toward the direction of Nanjing Forbidden City.

Two hundred thousand taels of silver weighed not lightly, weighing 12,500 kilograms. With the weight of the box, it takes at least fifteen cars. However, Zhao Peng gave 100,000 taels of silver and 10,000 taels of gold, which reduced a lot of weight.

The palace did not hold a morning court today. Zhao Peng brought the Jinyiwei to the gate of Hongwu Gate. The Jinyiwei who was guarding the city quickly opened the palace gate and put Zhao Peng, his Jinyiwei and the dowry cart in. At the same time, someone went to the Silijian to report to Han Zanzhou.

After receiving the report from the Jinyiwei, Han Zanzhou hurriedly led a group of small eunuchs to Fengtian Gate to prepare for the bride price.

Zhao Peng's convoy stopped in front of Fengtian Gate, and Han Zanzhou brought a group of eunuchs to the harem, put it into the treasury, and then presented the gift list to Zhu Cixuan.

However, the silver was only a few nights in the inner treasury of the Ming Dynasty Palace. On the day the princess got married, Zhu Cixuan not only had to hand over all the bride gifts to the princess to take back, but also had to pay hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

Seeing the list of bride gifts, Zhu Cixuan said: "My brother-in-law has prepared 200,000 taels of silver. We cannot be lower than this number, otherwise it will make people laugh at the Ming Dynasty for being too stingy. Han Daban, go and prepare 200,000 taels of silver and 20,000 taels of gold!"

With money, he spoke in a rough tone. As soon as Zhu Cilang opened his golden mouth, he gave out 400,000 taels of silver. The 200,000 taels of silver sent by Zhao Peng and the 400,000 taels of silver that Zhu Cilang was preparing to give, Princess Kunxing would bring 600,000 taels of silver when she got married.

After receiving the betrothal gift, the specific wedding date was also set, which was set in three days.

Three days came soon, and finally the wedding day was coming. Zhao Peng had been very nervous during these three days. He was a man in two lives, but it was his first marriage, and he married the most noble princess. This made Zhao Peng, who had always been calm, a little nervous.

On the day of the wedding, Zhao Peng got up early, took a shower and changed his clothes, and sat in the mansion and waited. The time came, and the big-footed women put on big red auspicious clothes for Zhao Peng, with two palace flowers inserted into the black gauze. The legendary groom's official was freshly released.

Zhao Peng looked at himself in the mirror and felt that he was really handsome. He was handsome and fair-looking. When he wore a wedding dress, his lips became redder and white, and his teeth were handsome.

The five-colored horse and the big red robe. Surrounded by a group of subordinates, amid the sound of the suona gong drums and drummers, Zhao Pengzhi proudly led the wedding team toward the Forbidden City in Nanjing. The crowds of people and firecrackers were noisy. The people in Nanjing made way to the roadside, staring curiously at the groom who was dressed like a big red envelope, and whispered from time to time.

The wedding team arrived in front of Hongwu Gate. The Jinyiwei guard at the gate opened the palace gate and let the wedding team enter the city.

When we arrived at the gate of the Meridian Gate, we saw that the gate was closed and a group of palace maids and eunuchs stood outside the gate. They reached out to ask Zhao Peng for red envelopes. Zhao Peng had no choice but to let the Jinyiwei under his command give each of these palace maids and eunuchs who blocked the road.

After giving the red envelope, the Meridian Gate opened. Emperor Zhu Cilang and Empress Shi Yuting appeared in the gate. Behind him was a group of palace maids supporting Princess Kunxing and sat in the sedan chair. Then the emperor and the queen walked out of the Meridian Gate themselves, and they would send the princess all the way to Zhao Peng's mansion.

The original etiquette was that the queen took the prince to send the princess to marry, but now Zhu Cilang has no prince, and the Queen Zhou is no longer there, so the emperor personally took the queen to send her sister to marry.

The sedan chair that Princess Kunxing was riding out of the Meridian Gate, and Zhu Cilang and Shi Yuting got on the car. Zhao Peng rode a tall horse and drove the way at the front of the team, followed by a group of Jinyiwei, all wearing big red skin. Today, the emperor Zhu Cilang was also wearing red dragon cannons, and the queen was also wearing red zodiac clothes.

Fei Zhen'e followed Princess Kunxing's sedan chair, and sixteen palace maids followed behind her.

As the princess who get married and dowry, in addition to the personal palace maid Fei Zhen'e, there are also sixteen palace maids and eight boys and girls. These boys are not young eunuchs, but a group of boys who bought from the public to get married, and a group of smart and handsome boys were selected as dowry. The other boys were sent to the palace and were kept as young father-in-laws after being kept.

Behind Princess Kunxing's sedan are people from the clan mansion, as well as the three princes, Zhu Yujian, Zhu Yihai and Zhu Yousong, who are also part of the team to send off their brides.

This is the most powerful princess ever married in the Ming Dynasty. The only people who sent the bride were the emperor, the queen and the three princes! In addition, there were more than 3,000 guards, eunuchs, palace maids and other entourages, plus more than 1,000 people who took the bride, a team of 4,000 people walked out of Hongwu Gate in a mighty manner.
