But no matter what, no one can stop this marriage.
With everyone in the Etiquette Department busy, the wedding after March was held with great grandeur. More than 200 boxes of dowries purchased by the Ministry of Internal Affairs passed through the central door. Each of those boxes was so jeweled that it made people's eyes glow green just by looking at them.
Damn it, they are all royal treasures!
The most important thing is that these dowries are said to have been selected by the Empress Dowager herself, which shows how satisfied the Empress Dowager is with this queen. She is so satisfied that she can't wait to send all the treasures from the royal family's treasury.
The emperor likes it, the queen mother likes it, and the queen's position is extremely stable.
Let’s talk about the wedding sedan.
The seat is a bright yellow phoenix, the interior is covered with red silk and satin, engraved with nine phoenix patterns, and has a built-in small leaf red sandalwood chair. Qiao Jinhuan is sitting inside, holding a gold "Ruyi" with double happiness in his hand, and another
Holding a golden apple in his hand, he entered the palace through the middle door.
The people on both sides of the journey carried bamboo baskets in their hands. The bamboo baskets were filled with gold and silver beads and copper plates, and they were scattered along the way.
The people in the capital who came to visit on both sides of the road could be said to have suddenly become rich in a day. They were all smiling from ear to ear, and they were spouting auspicious words one by one.
Gu Changsheng held a banquet with the courtiers in front, and listened to the happy words in his ears.
It was late at night before he entered the wedding room smelling slightly of alcohol.
"Jin Huan, I'm here."
He drank a lot, but Gu Changsheng's steps were still steady, which showed that he was not drunk.
He easily grasped the rod and lifted the ribbon, and his eyes, which were originally clear and bright, gradually became blurred. That is to say, wine does not intoxicate, people become intoxicated themselves.
Under the slightly dim and soft light, Qiao Jinhuan was wearing a wedding dress with gold clouds, dragons and phoenix patterns, inlaid with dozens or hundreds of East Pearls, and a gold phoenix crown inlaid with green emeralds on her head, with pearl tassels under the phoenix crown.
It swayed slightly, making that face look particularly bright and bright.
Gu Changsheng couldn't move his eyes away from it.
It’s been six months since the last time we had sex!
Six months!
Do you know how he spent these six months?
Gu Changsheng quickly grabbed Qiao Jinhuan's hand, stretched out his hand to remove the complicated phoenix crown, and wanted to hug her. Qiao Jinhuan raised his finger and pointed at the small white porcelain wine pot on the table, and said softly: "Hexi wine."
Gu Changsheng paused, then turned to get the wine.
Drink Hexin wine, and we will grow old together in this life.
Qiao Jinhuan did not swallow the sip of wine, but hooked Gu Changsheng's neck and kissed him on the lips. When the lips and teeth touched, the taste of the wine floated on the tip of the tongue, and finally he swallowed it into his throat, and a hot feeling was born from it.
Listening to the commotion inside, the palace attendants outside looked up at the moon in tacit agreement.
Hmm~ The moon is so round tonight~
…
I have to say that the young man who had been given the bait and had been idle for several months was indeed a bit untouchable.
Qiao Jinhuan thought so as she stood up on her waist and got up the next day.
She was visibly tired, but Gu Changsheng beside her looked as if he had taken some magic pill and was very energetic.
The two of them got up early in the morning to pay homage to the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager was also here. When she saw Qiao Jinhuan like that, how could she not know what was going on? She immediately looked at Gu Changsheng with a very complaining look and scolded him for not knowing how to restrain himself.
Gu Changsheng:???
"This is what my mother taught me."
Gu Changsheng turned his head and glanced at Qiao Jinhuan, thinking that he seemed to have gone a little too far last night, so he should take it easy next time.
The Queen Mother snorted softly, drank tea, and took Qiao Jinhuan to have breakfast. She was very concerned about the whole process, and even Gu Changsheng ignored her.
"Still laughing."
Qiao Jinhuan was smiling all the way out from the Queen Mother's side. Gu Changsheng nodded helplessly and said with a smile on her face: "The Queen Mother regards you as more important than me now."
"It's because of Shenglang that my mother loves me so much."
Qiao Jinhuan gently shook the hand they were holding, "I have been alone since I was a child and have never seen my parents. Since I met you, my mother has treated me as if she were her own child, letting me know how it feels to have a mother~ This is so good.
"
Gu Changsheng turned his head to look at Qiao Jinhuan, whose eyes were heavy for a moment, and stroked her hair with pity, "From now on, my mother and I will pamper you together."
"Shenglang~"
"Um."
"It's so kind of you."
"Your vision is naturally not that bad."
Qiao Jinhuan laughed out loud when he heard this, "Sheng Lang, are you praising me or yourself?"
"All praised."
Gu Changsheng said without changing his expression.
Qiao Jinhuan looked at him with gentle and affectionate eyes. The sunlight slanted through the red palace wall and fell on her body. She was pretty, charming and soft~ This scene was like a dream and a painting, which Gu Changsheng could remember for a lifetime.
The relationship between the two lasts forever, and no one can interfere with it.
Gu Changsheng never remarried in his life, and a large number of palace maids were let out. At this point, the courtiers were quite critical, but in the end they did not dare or could say it out loud.
After all, Gu Changsheng himself didn't want to keep it secret, and Qiao Jinhuan was not a vegetarian either.
Qiao Jinhuan is in charge of Jinyiwei!
Jin Yiwei keeps a secretive whereabouts, spreads banquets, and is particularly good at digging up people's secrets, spying on intelligence, and secondly catching guilty officials to commit murder. Over the years, the number of officials who have fallen into the hands of Jin Yiwei has ranged from 8,000 to 800, all of whom are of the sixth grade.
superior.
Now the courtiers are frightened when they hear about Jin Yiwei, and they are also very afraid of Qiao Jinhuan.
But because of this, few officials at the banquet dare to take bribes and bend the law.
The Jinyiwei is the sword that the royal family places on the necks of the officials, and Queen Qiao Jinhuan is the one who wields the sword. The high salary, annual leave, and promotion system given by Gu Changsheng are like candies fed to the mouths of the officials.
The two of them cooperated flawlessly, working together on both sides, keeping all the officials under control, not daring to struggle, and just working hard. The banquet prospered because of this.
It is known in history as the two emperors came to the dynasty, and the Yuanwu Dynasty flourished.
Yuanwu is the reign name of Gu Changsheng.
But now, the "Emperor Yuanwu" in the mouth of future generations is quietly sneaking out of the palace gate with Qiao Jinhuan, getting into the low-key and luxurious carriage at the side entrance, and leaving the capital that night.
Neither of them noticed that behind the wall, a handsome young man shook his head and sighed.
He is none other than Gu Yuan, the son of Gu Changsheng and Qiao Jinhuan. He is sixteen years old and has a reputation for being smart at a young age. He has studied under dozens of great Confucians and generals and can be said to be both civil and military.
At the age of eight, Gu Yuan was led by Gu Changsheng to handle the government affairs and manage the country well; at the age of fourteen, he led the army to Mobei, fought all the way to the pass, and returned with a great victory. He was so heroic that he lurked in the abyss and expanded his territory.
The posture of a monarch.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince?"
The attendant, Eunuch Wen Yuan, called out cautiously.
Gu Yuan waved his hand, "I will send an order tomorrow morning. My father and mother will secretly inspect the banquet. I hope the officials in the government will treat them with caution."
If you want to go out to play without him, just say so. He won't stop you, so why sneak around behind his back?
Father, Jin Yiwei was handed over to me by my mother last year. Do you think you can hide it from me if you want to go out?
"Ah sneeze~"
Gu Changsheng wrapped his clothes and rubbed the tip of his nose, "It must be that boy A Yuan who is scolding me."
"Hahaha~"
Qiao Jin laughed and fell into his arms, "You leave all the government affairs to him, it's strange that he doesn't scold you."
Gu Changsheng skillfully held her waist, protected her head, and said calmly: "He has this ability, so what if I let him ascend the throne earlier?"
The queen mother has passed away, the world is at peace, and the baby is about to take flight. What is in his heart is that now there is only one person left in his arms.
