Chapter 275 The Imperial Consort
February 29, the 23rd day of the first lunar month, the old calendar: Yi Marry.
This is also a coincidence that it happened to be that day when it happened to be the leap month that happened to happen to be!
Today, the emperor's real sister, the little princess of the empire, gets married, even if she is engaged, it is very lively.
The consort of the consort started to welcome guests from early morning and was busy until the evening. Not to mention resting, he was frustrated to receive gifts.
However, almost all of them were given to the eldest princess.
It's understandable.
Even if you marry the royal princess, Bai Zhizhan, as a general of the imperial navy, must abide by the military rules and regulations of the navy. Although it is not prohibited to hold banquets due to royal reasons, and there is no restriction on the scale of the banquet, the rules related to receiving gifts must not be abolished.
This means that if it is given to Bai Zhizhan, as long as it is worth more than 1,000 yuan, you have to go to the relevant departments of the Navy Command to file in advance.
Please don’t mention the trouble. For example, you can receive up to three gifts worth more than 1,000 yuan, and the excess must be submitted to the treasury unconditionally.
Given to the little princess, these problems will no longer exist.
Even if you want to give face, you will give face to the young princess, the current saint, the empress dowager who is in charge of the world, and the imperial royal family.
How much face can an old man who is only engaged at the age of 42?
In fact, most of the guests were not recognized by Bai Zhizhan, especially those royal relatives, who even knew the names, could not understand the MG.
Fortunately, Li Yunxiang and Fang Suqing were accompanied throughout the whole process.
Fang Suqing knew the etiquette of the royal family and the MG of the royal relatives. After she mentioned it, Bai Zhizhan just shouted.
Before the dinner began, the lively wedding banquet reached a boiling fixed point.
That's right, the protagonist who everyone is looking forward to appears.
Not a newcomer, but a current emperor!
It must be said that most of the guests who brought precious gifts to the engagement ceremony were actually for the present saint, and they also gave the present saint face.
Who told the bride-to-be is the only sister of the emperor today?
As for the prospective groom, Bai Shizhan's battle.
Which young man is he?
This is the most asked question from guests in private.
Although after receiving the reminder, these royal relatives immediately thought of the victory they had just won and said that they knew that there was a general named Bai Zhizhan in the navy, they almost all believed that Bai Zhizhan came from a famous family and must have a prominent background.
no?
The little princess flower was inserted into Bai Zhizhan's pile of cow dung?
If it weren't for the marriage of the emperor or the empress dowager, I'm afraid many royal elders would attack on the spot, and at least they would ask someone to ask clearly.
Fortunately, it was just an engagement.
After the interior officially read the imperial edict for marriage, Bai Zhizhan's parents accompanied the Empress Dowager to appear.
It must be admitted that this is where the imperial royal family changed after the secularization of the emperor.
In the past, let alone being in line with the Empress Dowager, it must have been three bows and nine bows. The first thing secular reforms do is to abolish these complicated royal etiquettes. It is also true that the secularization movement of royal etiquette carried out with the constitutional reforms not only did not reduce the majesty of the imperial royal family, but instead made the royal family more friendly to the people, narrowing the distance between the royal family and the people, and greatly increasing the appeal of the royal family among the people.
With the Queen Mother here, many royal relatives naturally dare not criticize it.
What surprised Bai Zhi's strategic sense was that the Queen Mother was more generous than the current emperor.
After all, the little princess is the queen mother's flesh and blood.
The first imperial edict of the Empress Dowager was to enthrone the prince-consort, Bai Zhizhan was the Duke of Yu and Prince Ai, the title of first-class duke, and the Major General of the Royal Yongjiao.
Of course, these titles and internal palace officials have their origins.
As for titles that sound a bit difficult to talk about, they are actually the result of secularization.
Because it was just an engagement, the empress dowager issued an imperial edict.
When the wedding is reached, the current emperor will issue imperial edicts, and the title and the official position of the inner palace will be promoted first.
Then, something happened that surprised Bai Zhizhan.
The Empress Dowager's second imperial decree not only enthroned Bai Zhizhan's father and mother, but also added the titles of nobles to Bai Zhizhan's three brothers and sisters.
Although it is not a hereditary title, being able to obtain the title of the Queen Mother is also a favor.
Now, he has become a real nobleman.
Even though it is still two generations away from the aristocratic family, at present, in this dynasty, the Bai family has become a veritable celebrity in front of the royal family and the emperor.
Isn’t the Queen Mother’s imperial edict the emperor?
Sometimes, especially matters related to royal internal affairs, royal edicts are more effective than imperial edicts, because the emperor rarely asks about internal affairs in person.
The key is that the queen is in poor health and the queen mother is very energetic, so the royal family's internal affairs are mainly in charge of the Queen Mother.
In front of many royal relatives, the Empress Dowager rewarded the Bai family with a little attention. Anyone with a little eyes can see that the Bai family is about to make a fortune.
As for why the Empress Dowager had to make such a big fuss, Bai Zhizhan was actually very clear about it.
Fundamentally, it is to fight for the imperial royal family in Bai Zhizhan.
The war has broken out and the empire is at the time of employment. If a prince consort who can fight well appears, it will be of great benefit to the empire and the royal family.
To be honest, the Queen Mother's political awareness is not ordinary.
More than 20 years ago, with the support of the Empress Dowager, the emperor, who was still the eldest prince, went to the Western Front and gained the honor of the advanced emperor. At the same time, he made several younger brothers return home and became the crown prince without any suspense. After the advanced emperor passed away, he successfully ascended the throne.
As for the relationship between the little princess and the couple who are in the foreseeable princess, it is a secondary issue.
As long as the prince-in-law can fight, even if the relationship is a little bit worse, it will be no big deal. When you have a child and a half of your daughter, will your relationship come with you?
Besides, this is a big deal for newcomers, and it may not be possible to bear fruit in a year.
This is how the current queen mother came here.
In short, the Empress Dowager did this to share the worries of the royal family and the current emperor.
Obviously, in the empire, especially during wars, to do your loyalty to the royal family is to do your loyalty to the empire, and the two are highly unified.
After the constitutional reform, the greatest value of the royal family is to become the spiritual leader of the empire when the country is in crisis!
Bai Zhizhan also sighed at the Queen Mother's good intentions.
Decades ago, Emperor Shiwu said: Women are half of the sky of the empire.
This is really true.
Being able to have such a reasonable, virtuous, virtuous and magnificent empress dowager is not only a blessing for the imperial family, but also a blessing for the entire empire.
Of course, Bai Zhizhan’s number one task is to toast with the little princess.
The interior officer specially brings fine wines from the palace, and it will definitely not fall.
If you explain it thoroughly, it is Baishui.
Everyone can see through it but not tell it thoroughly. After all, after drinking this round of wine, there are not five hundred cups, and there are four hundred cups. If it is real wine, no one can withstand it.
Finally, under the leadership of Fang Suqing, Bai Zhizhan specially went to worship several royal elders.
The royal family is the largest family in the empire, and there are elders in any big family, and the influence of elders is not ordinary!
This is a must-drink wine, and it is real wine, not boiled water.
Fortunately, Bai Zhizhan's alcohol tolerance is not bad.
By the time I finished my work, it was already midnight.
Most of the guests were very sensible, and the prospective newcomer said goodbye and left after toasting. When Bai Zhizhan finally got free, the manor was already much deserted.
However, he was not idle. At most, he just sat down and took a breath, and had some hot meals to fill his stomach.
