Di Yuwei felt happy and held his hands tightly, waiting for the empress to finally speak.
"The regent's marriage is not only a private matter, but also a matter for the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is related to the country, the country and the country of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"In the early years, the regent and the fourth princess made a marriage contract, and later the eldest princess and the second princess promised to marry."
"I have thought about it, the marriage cannot be too hasty, nor should it be delayed for too long. What do you think should be done properly?"
The empress looked at the ministers in the hall.
Today is obviously a celebration banquet to welcome the return of the generals, why did it suddenly involve an engagement?
This span is a bit big, and everyone is a bit confused.
Only Gongsun Yun, Di Yuwei and Di Xingwan knew in their hearts that this was a planned drama.
Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi were confused. They didn't expect to discuss this matter today.
"Third sister, what's going on?"
Di Luoxi asked Di Lingyi, who turned to Di Xingwan and asked: "Second sister, what's going on?"
Di Xingwan shook his head, turned around and said, "Ask eldest sister."
Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi looked at Di Yuwei at the same time. Di Yuwei shook his head and pretended to be confused: "I don't know either. Ask your mother."
The ministers of the DPRK had not thought about this matter beforehand and did not know what to do.
They only knew that Di Yuwei was pregnant, and Long Chen must get married early, otherwise Di Yuwei would be embarrassed.
"Huh? Don't you all have any ideas?"
The empress glanced at all the ministers, but no one spoke.
The empress looked at Gongsun Yun again: "Old Zhuguo, you are very knowledgeable. What should I do?"
Gongsun Yun had discussed this matter with the empress, and he knew what to say.
"Well, this matter is really difficult to handle. I thought it might be possible to let the eldest princess get married first, and then the other three princesses get married in turn."
This was agreed upon by Gongsun Yun and the Empress, and Gongsun Yun said it very eloquently.
"Is there anything wrong with this? My dear friends."
"Mother, I was obviously engaged first, why should the eldest sister get married first?"
Before the other ministers spoke, Di Luoxi jumped up.
This was already expected.
"Yes, Luo Xi got engaged first. Is it inappropriate to let Yu Wei get married first?"
The empress pretended to look at Gongsun Yun.
"This. In fact, it is better for the eldest princess to marry first. According to customs, how can there be any reason for the eldest sister to marry first before the eldest sister leaves the court?"
"Fourth Princess, you can ask all the adults here, this is the custom among the people, from big to small."
Gongsun Yun said very seriously.
As an old Zhuguo, Gongsun Yun had a high status and always acted fairly, so Di Luoxi did not suspect that there was something fishy in it.
"Do you think this is the case?"
Di Luoxi pointed at the civil servants and shouted.
The civil servants on the left did not dare to speak. They knew what Di Luoxi's temper was and what answer he wanted to get.
At this time, whoever speaks will be in trouble.
"Fourth Princess, it seems that is indeed the case."
Sinong Temple Qing
Sun Lu answered.
Everyone looked at Sun Lu and laughed secretly in their hearts that he was ignorant of current affairs and actually spoke like this at this time.
"Old man Sun, say it again!"
Di Luoxi was furious, and Sun Lu said in astonishment: "Fourth princess, this is indeed the case."
The empress frowned and said, "Luo Xi, Mr. Sun is an elder, so you are not allowed to do this."
Di Luoxi was so angry that her teeth chattered, but she couldn't get angry.
The emperor ordered Yi La Di Luo Xi to sit down and advised: "Don't be impulsive, just listen to the queen mother's arrangements."
In fact, Di Lingyi was happy in his heart.
In terms of seniority, she is older than Di Luoxi.
"Luo Xi doesn't want to, what should I do?"
The empress asked in embarrassment.
Gongsun Yun shook his head and said with a smile: "If the fourth princess doesn't want to, then. Then we can only wait until the marriage of the three princesses is decided before bringing up the marriage of the fourth princess. But in this way, I don't know how long it will be delayed."
Di Luoxi was indignant and asked, "If that's the case, why did I propose marriage first?"
Gongsun Yun said: "At that time, the eldest princess did not even say that she would marry King Wu."
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Gongsun Yun and the empress are colluding.
"Mother, my sons and ministers do not agree."
Di Luoxi was very angry. She always thought that she would be the queen of the palace and the other three would be the concubines.
If so, she will suffer.
Gongsun Yun saw Di Luoxi's thoughts and said with a smile: "The fourth princess does not have to be like this. I have discussed with the regent that after marrying the eldest princess, the eldest princess will live in the east palace. The palace will still be based on the four palaces of east, west, north and south, regardless of honor.
In descending order."
The empress nodded and said: "Yes, in the palace, you are divided into four palaces, and it will be the same in the future."
"Don't think that marrying first means taking advantage, and marrying later means losing out."
Di Luoxi leaned on the chair and said nothing, glaring at Long Chen fiercely.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen also feels that the engagement with Luo Xi comes first."
Long Chen spoke, he had to express his position, and he couldn't let Di Luoxi think that he was willing to do this.
"Shut up. It's not your turn to be picky about marriage. It's not your turn to choose between your parents' orders and the matchmaker's words."
"I am the parent, and Lao Zhuguo is the matchmaker. You just obey."
The empress reprimanded her harshly, and Long Chen immediately cooperated and said, "I am reckless and I made a mistake. Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Long Chen was scolded, but Di Luoxi felt better. This seemed to be not Long Chen's request to marry Di Yuwei first.
Di Yu looked at it slightly and smiled secretly in his heart: He is so pretending to be the same.
"Then let's settle it like this. Let Yu Wei marry first, then Xingwan, then Lingyi, and finally Luo Xi."
"There are a lot of things to do when four princesses are getting married. According to the past process, it takes two years for each princess and eight years for Luo Xi. This is still going smoothly. If there are twists and turns along the way, it may take ten years for Luo Xi."
The empress said, Di Luo
Xi became anxious and stood up and said: "Mother, in ten years time, all my sons and daughters will become old maids."
All the ministers in the court were laughing secretly, but Li Junjun could not laugh.
He was thinking about how his daughter Bai Tingting would marry Long Chen. If the four princesses were married in turn, her daughter would be married eight years later at the earliest. By then, Bai Tingting would already be old.
Gongsun Yun nodded and said: "What the fourth princess said is true. I thought we could keep everything simple and shorten the time."
"If we follow the emperor's etiquette, I'm afraid it will take at least ten years."
The empress said in embarrassment: "But how can my daughter's wedding not be grand?"
Gongsun Yun said: "The wedding is grand, but the previous wedding ceremony can be simple."
The empress nodded slightly and said, "That's it."
Li Junjun, who was sitting in the back row, suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I thought that four princesses could be married off at the same time, which would be the fastest."
Everyone looked at Li Junjun behind them, their eyes full of weirdness.
Everyone was speechless.
Long Chen looked at Li Junjun and thought to himself: What are you in a hurry for?
The empress was stunned for a while, then slowly came back to her senses, her face uncertain.
The four princesses looked at each other.
Bai Tingting blushed on the general's side and felt hot.
My father already has a bad reputation. He should just shut up at this time. Why is he talking nonsense now?
I am really sad for his misfortune and angry for his inability to fight.
Zhang Qian, Wu Chuchu, and Wu Xiangyun turned their heads and glanced at Bai Tingting, not knowing how to comfort her.
I am really impressed to have such a father.
"As Zuo Qiandu Yushi said, it's not impossible."
The empress suddenly showed admiration.
Everyone was confused.
Bai Tingting looked at the Empress in shock. She couldn't believe her father's ridiculous proposal. The Empress actually thought it was feasible?
"My son agrees!"
Di Luoxi suddenly stood up and expressed her agreement to the proposal.
"Li Yushi said it well, I agree!"
Di Luoxi didn't want to suffer a loss, didn't want to marry behind Di Yuwei, at least not to fall behind.
Li Junjun smiled and bowed: "Wei Chen feels that King Wu is not too young due to his continuous campaigns. The four princesses have also reached the age of marriage, so we can't delay it any longer."
"Now that the world is at peace and Your Majesty wants to retire, it is better to get married early. When the four princesses give birth to children, Your Majesty can also have grandchildren and enjoy the happiness of family."
After saying this, the ministers in the court were shocked.
The empress asked Long Chen to become the regent, which meant passing the throne.
But what has not been revealed yet, Li Junjun actually said it in public, talking about retirement, which is treason.
All the civil and military officials were silent and astonished.
"Well, that makes sense."
The empress admired it greatly, and all the officials in the hall were shocked.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment."
Li Junjun sat down, Gao
He looked around happily at his colleagues on the left and right.
The ministers on the left and right were shocked by Li Junjun. They thought that Li Junjun had received the empress's secret order and had instructed him to say this in public.
In fact, Li Junjun just wanted to marry his daughter to Long Chen as soon as possible, that's all.
"Old Zhuguo, what do you think?"
Gongsun Yun came over slowly, nodded and said: "Actually, what Li Yushi said is reasonable. I wonder about the four princesses?"
Emperor Xingwan, Emperor Lingyi, and Di Luoxi responded in unison: "We have no objection."
Di Yuwei was secretly unhappy, she wanted to be the first to marry him.
"Then it's settled. The four princesses will get married together. I'll ask Lao Zhuguo to be the matchmaker and arrange it with the Ministry of Etiquette."
Gongsun Yun bowed and said, "Old minister, I accept the order."
Xu Zhong, the Minister of Rites, stood up and paid homage: "The humble minister accepts the order."
After the discussion was over, the empress was very happy and said: "Let's have a banquet and take a seat."
The banquet began and the empress took her seat, accompanied by Long Chen and Gongsun Yun.
The ministers toasted the empress, then toasted to Gongsun Yun, and then Long Chen.
After today's court meeting, everyone knows that the future emperor of Zhou Dynasty will be Long Chen.
Everyone is very attentive to the future big boss.
After the banquet, Long Chen took Zhang Qian and the generals back to the palace, Bai Tingting went home, and the four princesses each returned to the palace.
Di Yuwei originally wanted to ask Long Chen to speak after the banquet, but the matter was already settled, so there was no need to talk anymore.
When Long Chen returned to Prince Wu's Mansion, Yourong and his family members greeted him at the door. Zou Kai was also there.
"We sincerely welcome the Prince Regent back to his residence."
Welcomed with a smile.
The news that Long Chen had been appointed regent had spread throughout the capital, so of course they knew about it.
"My child welcomes his adoptive father back home."
Zou Kai stepped forward to lead the horse. Long Chen dismounted and asked, "Are you lazy?"
Zou Kai immediately said: "I don't dare, I have been practicing martial arts hard."
Long Chen patted Zou Kai and said, "Okay, I will test you tomorrow."
Zou Kai secretly complained in his heart that he did not practice well and usually liked to learn Taoism from Taoist Master Xuanzhen.
"yes."
Zou Kai responded, while Hua'er secretly laughed at the side.
Entering Prince Wu's Mansion, it was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, making it very lively and festive.
Xiang Ning stepped forward excitedly and said, "Please take a bath and change your clothes."
It had been a long time since she had played with Long Chen in the water, and Xiang Ning was almost dying of thirst.
"What's the hurry? We'll be at home from now on. You guys will come one by one."
Long Chen squeezed a handful, and Xiang Ning cried out softly: "It hurts me. It's so hard."
Long Chen picked up Xiang Ning and said with a smile: "Xiao'e, Xiao Daiyu, you two will serve me together."
The three of them entered the bathroom with a group of maids, and soon there was a sound inside.
Zhang Qian shook her head and said, "I'll be messing around as soon as I come back."
Dugu Jiali smiled and said: "It won't always be like this. If there's anything strange about it, let's wash it away. We can finally live a comfortable life."
