Zhao Changqing decreed that the wedding of Chu King Zhao Hongji would be held on the sixth day of the new year.

That is the spring of the seventeenth year of Taichu.

Even within the Wei Kingdom, Zhao Hongji was considered an early marriage.

However, this phenomenon can be seen everywhere, and it’s not a big deal.

On the sixth day of the lunar month.

All civil and military officials came. After all, the emperor's heirs were getting married, and they did not dare to neglect it.

The wedding was held in the palace and was quite grand.

The prince Zhao Hongqing and the princess Zhao Weixi were busy from front to back and did not have a moment to rest.

After all, it's my brother's wedding, so I have to do my best.

Their main task is just to accompany their relatives and friends.

All procedures are presided over by officials from the Ministry of Rites.

A prince's wedding naturally involves various complicated procedures.

After finishing all the busy work, it was already evening.

At this moment, Zhao Changqing was already drunk, and he did not use his cultivation to sober up.

As for people, sometimes you have to find an opportunity to get drunk.

At midnight.

The King of Chu didn't even have time to light up the bridal chamber and was still drinking with all his ministers.

This was also specially ordered by Zhao Changqing.

Beauty can be enjoyed at any time, but the hearts of these ministers cannot be cold.

Queen He Ning had already gone to urge the emperor, but he insisted on getting drunk with the ministers, so she had no choice but to let him go.

Zhao Changqing was sitting at the head of the table. He stood up suddenly, picked up the wine glass, and said to the civil and military ministers: "My ministers, I would like to toast you with this glass of wine. Thank you for helping me to establish this great cause, so that I, the great Wei Dynasty, can

Go to the strongest! Come, come, drink with me!"

The ministers were all very excited.

They didn't meet such an emperor for several years.

Naturally, I want to accompany His Majesty to have all the fun.

"Drink with His Majesty!"

The ministers drank down the drinks in their hands one after another.

Zhao Changqing took the queen's little hand and said with a smile: "I have three great blessings in my life. The first blessing is that I raised an army from Qingzhou to serve the king, and then helped the world to make the country peaceful! The second blessing is that I established the world of Zhuolu.

Strategy has made our army strong and our horses strong! The third good thing is that I met the queen. I will drink this cup with you."

After three rounds of drinking, there were three more rounds.

Zhao Changqing always felt that he still had more to say.

He wanted the queen to play music.

It’s been a long time since I listened to the song ‘Journey to the Rivers and Lakes’.

I do miss it a bit.

He Ning's face instantly became a little embarrassed.

The confidant palace maid next to her secretly said in her ear: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is drunk..."

The current intention is that she does not want her to obey the emperor's wishes and play music in front of the ministers.

After all, she is a queen, so she still needs dignity.

Even the ministers did not dare to say anything when they heard the emperor's words.

Let the queen play the piano and play music?

It would be fine if there was only one emperor.

But all the civil and military officials and colleagues are here. Ask yourself, who dares to listen to the Queen's talent? It's not a happy experience!

They did not dare to speak, and some ministers also whispered to the emperor: "Your Majesty, you are drunk."

But Zhao Changqing laughed and said: "Drunk? I have been in the army for half my life. What I have seen is the sound of the battlefield. How can I talk about the word drunk?"

None of the ministers dared to breathe.

Queen He Ning took a deep breath and smiled at the emperor: "Your Majesty, do you really want to see me dancing and playing music?"

Zhao Changqing nodded, "Of course!"

The queen smiled and nodded to the officials, then ordered the maid next to her: "Go and prepare."

The maid hesitated to speak: "But..."

The queen glared at him and said, "Today, your Majesty's happiness is the most important thing."

Even Zhao Hongji, the groom's official, couldn't stand it any longer and said to the queen: "Mother, why don't I ask my father to go back and rest?"

He Ning's face was full of doting, she looked at Zhao Changqing with admiration, and whispered to the King of Chu next to her: "It's been a long time since my mother has seen your father so happy."

If he could be so happy every day, He Ning would feel very happy.

She just wants to make him happy, that's all.

The queen danced and played music, a rare event in a hundred years.

Not only the civil and military officials were fascinated by it, but even Zhao Changqing was a little reluctant to leave.

Even in the end, Zhao Changqing danced with her.

In the entire hall, they only had each other in their eyes.

This is the life Zhao Changqing has always wanted.

"Ning'er?"

"His Majesty..."

"I'm so lucky to have you."

"Me too."

A ridiculous night.

Early the next morning, Princess Chu came to toast the emperor and the queen.

He Ning looked at the girl's blushing face and suddenly thought of the scene on her first day as queen, and smiled unconsciously.

Zhao Changqing said: "There are not many broken rules in the palace. After some time, I will ask the Ministry of Industry to build a Chu Palace in the capital. If you feel that living in the palace is not free and convenient, just move out."

.”

"Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor." Zhao Qingwen is very sensible.

Zhao Changqing laughed and said: "It's time to change your words now. From now on, just like Ji'er, you can call me your father."

Being able to marry the King of Chu, Zhao Qingwen felt that it was her blessing.

During the meal, Zhao Hongji asked his father: "Father, the sage promised to have a family and a career. Now my son and I have a family. As for establishing a career..."

He started to speak but stopped.

Zhao Qingwen lowered her head and remained silent.

He Ning picked up a dish for Zhao Changqing and said: "When you were seven or eight years old, you marched around the world. When you were eighteen, you began to lead troops to fight. Now Ji'er is almost eighteen years old.

Now, it’s time to find a position so that I can share your worries and can’t just sit idle in the palace all the time, right?”

Zhao Changqing thought it made sense, glanced at Zhao Hongji, and asked: "Many positions in the court are already filled. If you take up the position, you will probably have to go to other places. There are still many officials missing in Chudi.

Do you find it stressful to be a state pastor in a state?"

As the child grows older and has full wings, it cannot be kept closed all the time.

It's time for him to fly.

However, Zhao Hongji had his own plan, "Father, I don't want to be a state pastor to handle government affairs. I want to..."

When Zhao Changqing heard this, he frowned and said, "Tell me what you think. Why do you and I, father and son, need to see each other outside?"

Zhao Hongji nodded vigorously, "My son wants to go to Beiliang and study the art of war with General Xiang and Uncle Qingzhi for a few years."

"Join the army?" Zhao Changqing refused without even thinking, "No!"

Zhao Hongji didn't quite understand, "I wonder why my father doesn't let his sons join the army?"

Zhao Changqing blew his beard and glared: "I conquered the country and asked the younger generation to defend it. I don't want you to be like me and go to see the iron horse again!"

Of course, this is not the main reason.

The main reason is that he is afraid that after he takes over the military power and the prince ascends the throne in the future, some conflicts may break out between the two.
