Chapter 206: The Emperor’s First Love (Second update, please vote for me!)
Although Zhao Yunrang was still on the recliner at this time, he had sat up straight and was thinking rapidly. (-< >-Net.)
Zhao Zongshi and his brothers sat on both sides of him, looking at him intently.
"Tomorrow is the wedding of Chen Xiliang and the Queen's sister." Zhao Yunrang said: "Zong Shi."
"Father." Zhao Zongshi responded quickly.
"What can I say? Mrs. Cao is also your aunt. I'll prepare a gift later and take your third brother there tomorrow."
"Going to Chen's house?" Before Zhao Zongshi could speak, Zhao Zonghui jumped up and said, "Father, where should I put my face?"
"How much is your face worth?" Zhao Yunrang said coldly: "It's okay if you don't go, I'll take care of you according to the family law."
"I..." Zhao Zonghui suddenly felt like a deflated ball: "Go."
"Please ask father for instructions on what to do specifically." Zhao Zongshi said softly.
"When you see Chen Ke, ask the third child to apologize to him in public. The more people the better. You also have to be more enthusiastic. This will only do you good and not bad." Zhao Yunrang said calmly.
Zhao Zongshi didn't quite understand what he meant, but still looked at his father.
"Father, this is a great idea!" Zhao Zongfu came to appreciate it and praised: "Tomorrow his family will hold a happy event in front of everyone. Chen Sanlang will have to lie down even if he is a dragon, and he will have to be coiled up even if he is a tiger. He will definitely not
The first is to embarrass you. The second is that as a prince, the third brother can sincerely apologize. Anyone who sees it will sincerely praise him. Those bad rumors will naturally disappear. Instead, they will say that the surnamed Chen is ignorant, along with the "Heiwo Ming"
》, which also became his passionate work.”
"Finally, this is another good opportunity for Thirteen to show his humility, approachability, and openness to others." Zhao Zongfu looked at Thirteenth Brother and said, "This will strengthen the support of those officials for you." He turned to Zhao Yun and said, "
Father, am I right?"
Zhao Yunrang finally smiled: "The fourth child is the one who knows the general trend!"

"Have you experienced how powerful my Uncle Wang is?" Zhao Zongji arrived, standing next to Chen Ke and said, "This must be his move."
"Ball." Chen Ke spat. At this time, the guests were basically in place. He asked Song Duanping to watch at the door. He and Zhao Zongji stepped aside, looked at the lively yard and said: "I found that this father and son are really good directors and
Good actors, a perfect couple."
"How else could I be so unconfident?" Zhao Zongji sighed and said, "When it comes to scheming, even if we are tied together, we can't beat my Uncle Wang."
"Don't be depressed." Chen Ke comforted Zhao Zongji in turn and said: "No matter how powerful Zhao Yunrang is, he can't stand up to a bunch of sons who are careless. Press the gourd and lift the gourd. This is our opportunity." He lowered his voice and said: "Then
How are you going with the matter?"
"I was about to tell you that my father helped me get on the line, and they promised to help Jin Yan if he had the opportunity." Zhao Zongji said, "Maybe in the next day or two."
"Okay, I gave those things to Bao Zheng yesterday." Chen Ke said softly: "I hope Bao Qingtian will not let us down." He sighed softly: "The key is to see the official's attitude.
If you create an opportunity, there's nothing wrong if he doesn't use it."
"The officials are here today," Zhao Zongji said, "Zhao Zongshi and I will sit together. By then, we may be able to get some clues."
"Yes." Chen Ke nodded. At this time, he heard a commotion at the door, and then someone cheered: "The official family is here!"
The two people quickly turned out and saw the imperial guards dressed in red and the eunuchs holding whisks pouring into the queue from the door. The guests also stood up behind the guards, and the originally lively place became solemn.
As soon as the formation was completed, a long voice was heard: "The saint has arrived..."
Everyone calmed down and stood solemnly.
Accompanied by Chen Xiliang, Zhao Zhen, an official of the Song Dynasty, who was dressed in a crimson gauze robe and a sky-high crown on his head, and Empress Cao, who was wearing a flower hairpin crown and a dragon, phoenix, pearl and green robe, appeared in the courtyard of the Chen family.
"Congratulations to the official family and congratulations to the empress." All the guests saluted.
"Everyone, today is a happy day for Mr. and Mrs. Chen Sijian. We can't take over the honors." Zhao Zhen said with a gentle smile: "Withdraw all the guards so that people can no longer be around."
"This, the saint's safety is important." Hu Yandui, the eunuch beside him, whispered.
"The courtyard is full of my ministers, what's there to worry about?" Zhao Zhen shook his head and saw Chen Ke, who was in a superior position. He waved him over and said, "I have found a guard for myself, so don't worry now.
?" After saying this, he didn't allow any further explanation. He waved his hands and said, "Let's play quickly and don't waste the auspicious time."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the officials took their seats, the wedding continued. In the loud singing of the master of ceremonies, the groom wore red clothes and the bride wore a hijab. The two held hands with red and green colored satin to form a concentric knot symbolizing love, and walked slowly towards each other.
.
When the two of them stood in front of the hall, the man and his wife brought the weighing rod to the weighing pole. Chen Xiliang picked it up and slowly opened the hijab, revealing the bride's shy and charming face. The guests present could not help but secretly be jealous, thinking that Chen Sijian was so lucky.
A woman who excels in everything.
In the loud singing of the master of ceremonies, the newlyweds first paid homage to the deceased spirits and heaven and earth, and then to the official couple... Originally they were supposed to pay homage to their uncle, that is, their parents-in-law, but Chen Xiliang's parents were both dead, and the eldest relatives in the family were not in the capital, so they had to pay homage to them.
The parents of all peoples in the world come to accept this worship.
Zhao Zhen and Empress Cao sat in the hall, one to the east and the other to the west. The bride and groom first went down the west steps to pay homage to their uncle, and then went down the east steps to pay homage to their aunt. Zhao Zhen nodded and smiled, but Queen Cao was moved and kept wiping her hands.
Corner of eye.
After bowing to the uncle, the bride and groom will be escorted by their companions. The groom stands in the east and the bride stands in the west. The bride bows first, and the groom bows in reply. Men bow again as a ritual, and women bow four times as a ritual.
After the couple paid their respects, they were escorted into the bridal chamber, where the wedding banquet started.
The people of Bianjing are very proud people. They usually don’t cook at home, let alone a wedding banquet with hundreds of relatives and friends. From the tableware, tables and chairs to the food and drinks, everything is taken care of by the hotel. Chen
The family's wedding banquet was entrusted to Ren's restaurant, which is as famous as Fan Lou. The hotel had been preparing for it all morning. The food and wine were packed in baskets and pushed to the customers' homes on carts.
But the Chen family's chef was not idle either. Cai Chuanfu and a dozen of his apprentices were cooking in eight pots at the same time.
Ren Dian naturally knows how to cook stir-fry, but the stir-fry must be cooked and eaten immediately. If it is delivered from the hotel to your home, it will lose its appeal a lot. In addition, Chen Ke’s wealth will not go to other people’s fields, so he naturally wants to leave this opportunity to make a name for himself.
His apprentice became rich.
As soon as the banquet started, clean-cut guys in Tsing Yi and white hats carried large plates back and forth to serve food. After a while, all kinds of cold dishes, hot dishes and preserves were placed on the dining table in the courtyard. The official family
The table we were sitting at was in the main room. To ensure safety, the food, wine and food were all brought from the palace.
Smelling the aroma of the dishes outside, Zhao Zhen shrank his nose, couldn't help but move his fingers, and asked Chen Ke, who was standing aside: "What kind of dishes are these, and why are they so fragrant?"
"Reporting to the official family, it's cooking." Chen Ke said.
"Bring two plates in and have a taste." Zhao Zhen said with great interest.
"Yes." Chen Ke nodded and walked out.
"No." Hu Yandui stopped Chen Ke and said, "The official family cannot use food from outside."
Chen Ke looked at the official's house and looked helpless.
"Just go and get it." Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "If you just pick up two plates, who can poison them?"
"Yes, I also miss folk food very much." Empress Cao also spoke up.
Hu Yandui said helplessly: "It's better for me, the old slave, to carry it."
"This old Hu is really careful." The official looked at Chen Ke with a smile and said, "Boy, your father is married, and you are already a grown man. You have to hurry up."
"Wei Chen will get married after Chunwei." Chen Ke said awkwardly.
"That girl from the Liu family is a good girl. Although she has a bad temper, she is very kind." The news from the official family has obviously not been updated for a long time.
Chen Ke smiled shyly and wanted to have a laugh and get through it, but Zhao Zonghui said: "Uncle, it's wrong. The fiancée of the Chen brothers' surname is Su, not Liu..."
Chen Ke's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he saw Zhao Zonghui lowering his head.
"Oh?" Zhao Zhen glanced at the queen in surprise and said, "Didn't you say that Yunxi has appointed Sanlang of the Chen family for the girl of the Liu family?"
"I withdrew not long ago..." the queen whispered, "I never told the officials." She simply told the officials the whole story.
Chen Ke felt so depressed. He took a deep breath and prepared to receive the emperor's scoldings such as 'marriage is a major matter, the order of parents', 'ridiculous and rude'. Zhao Zonghui was also secretly happy, I'm going to teach you how to be dumb...
Who knew that Zhao Zhen just looked at Chen Ke and fell into a nostalgic silence.
But with just one glance, Chen Ke felt that it was definitely not a look of disdain or anger, but a look of remembrance and appreciation.
"What does this mean?" Chen Ke couldn't help but secretly wonder, could it be that the emperor and I share the same problem?
He was really right. Zhao Zhen was indeed in the same boat as him. Even though it happened more than thirty years ago, it still hurts him to think about it now...
That was the emperor's first love.
In the spring of his fifteenth year, Zhao Zhen met a beautiful girl in the palace. She was the niece of Empress Xiao Yang and Wang Xiu, the daughter of squire Wang Mengzheng. Empress Xiao Yang treated Zhao Zhen much more gently than the Empress Dowager Liu.
, in the relatively relaxed environment of her palace, the young and young girls who had just begun to fall in love met each other and soon fell in love.
The girl was well-educated, beautiful and gentle, so the little emperor, who had been controlled by rigid etiquette since childhood, regarded her as the one he loved most in his heart and the natural queen. It can be imagined that this was pure love, a love without any impurities.
Only in this way can people be desperate - Zhao Zhen suppressed the fear of Liu E for many years, confessed his love affair like the Queen Mother, and said firmly: "I want to marry her!"
The second update. The next update will be delivered around 12 o'clock. The gap with Lao Gao is getting wider and wider. Are we really inferior to others? Vomiting blood and asking for support!
