The officials of the Host and Guest Department went through the classics and formulated the etiquette rules for the princess' wedding. They were beaten back the first time they were sent to the palace.
This is a normal thing. The royal etiquette is very complicated and often needs to be revised several times before being finalized.
Officials in the host and guest department are still busy day and night, waiting for something to happen.
The position of the wedding envoy for the princess's wedding is tantamount to a terrible curse, and no official in the Ministry of Etiquette who has a relationship with it will have a good outcome.
However, several days had passed since Tangning was appointed, but nothing happened to him.
The collision between the broom star and the curse seems to have decided the winner, and the broom star is undoubtedly better.
Many officials in the Ministry of Etiquette began to worry about Mr. Shilang. The broom star was so terrifying that he even suppressed the position of wedding messenger among the three doctors. If he waited until he recovered his strength, Liu Shilang might have to step into the Ministry of Household Affairs.
The footsteps of the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Justice.
The study room.
Liu Feng thought for a moment, then raised his head and said: "The three ministers of the Host and Guest Department, the Rites Department, and the Ancestral Department were appointed as the wedding envoys, but things happened one after another. Tang Ning took over, but everything has been peaceful. It is obvious that this must be the envoy of King Kang.
means."
The chef from the dining department secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He was still thinking in the morning that Tang Ning had been getting along well these past few days. Is the curse of the wedding messenger a rumor from outside? He was overthinking it. If it were his turn, it might still be a crime.
Credit.
Looking back now, it's a good thing that he didn't take the initiative to ask for help at that time, otherwise, he would have jumped into the fire pit by himself.
He pursed his lips and said: "Master Shangshu, according to my opinion, King Kang's obstruction of the wedding envoy designated by my Ministry of Rites this time is probably not just to cause trouble, but may have other intentions."
Liu Feng nodded and said: "I also have the same feeling. If it is just to cause trouble, there will be no substantial loss to my Ministry of Rites, and it will not be of any benefit to him. King Kang has many advisers around him, how could he do this without any benefit?
Apart from the wedding messenger, he must have some other purposes that we don't know about."
Tang Huai stood up and said, "That's because when I go to Chu State this time, the mission of the wedding envoy is not only to deliver the wedding, but also to propose marriage."
"Your Majesty means...that Princess Changning of Chu State!" Liu Feng suddenly realized, and said: "As for the marriage proposal, your Majesty has always been biased towards King Kang, but since the incident involving the Marquis of Yanping and others, the Minister of Punishment was dismissed, and the Minister of Justice was dismissed.
After the suspension, His Majesty never mentioned the matter again. He was obviously dissatisfied with King Kang. If Concubine Hui had interceded for King Duan again at this time, things might have turned around. But if even the wedding messenger was King Kang
If you are such a person, His Highness Duan Wang’s chances will be very slim.”
He looked at Tang Huai and said solemnly: "Sir, we cannot give up this opportunity to Prince Kang."
…
Although she had been appointed as the wedding messenger, officials from the Host and Guest Department were doing most of the work, so Tang Ning herself was very free.
In the past few days, he simply didn't even go to the Ministry of Rites, citing the excuse of consulting ancient books in the Hanlin Academy.
Xiao Jue sat opposite him, smacked his lips, and asked: "We haven't seen each other for a few days, why did you become the wedding messenger?"
Tang Ning said calmly: "This is a proposal from the Ministry of Rites and approved by His Majesty. Is there any problem?"
"I always feel that there is something fishy here." A look of doubt appeared on Xiao Jue's face, and he said: "If you don't want to, His Majesty will not force you to go. I think you are quite happy to be the wedding messenger.
"
"It's time for you to go back and take medicine."
Tang Ning ignored Xiao Jue and returned to his study to start writing. He had been there for more than half a year, so Tang Renzhai naturally needed to save some manuscripts. Today, Tang Renzhai is no longer supported by him alone, but also recruited some
A best-selling author, he doesn't have to be as tired as before.
Xiaoxiao sat next to him and wrote. She hadn't practiced much these days and often stayed by his side quietly like this.
In addition to practicing martial arts, Xiao Yi also teaches her reading and literacy. Whether it is martial arts or reading, she learns very quickly, especially in martial arts. Under the guidance of the old beggar, she can be said to have made rapid progress. In the past few months, she has
His physique was also slowly improved, and Tang Ning was worried that by the time he came back from Chu, he might not be a small opponent anymore.
She wrote for a while, put down the pen, looked at Tang Ning, and said, "Brother."
Tangning looked at her.
She looked at Tangning and whispered, "Can I go with you?"
Although Tang Ning was reluctant to let go of her, going to Chu Country was not an easy journey. It was not easy to protect him and Princess Zhou Quan. She could not let her take this risk.
Tangning put down her pen, touched her head, and said, "Brother is going out this time because he has something to do. Xiaoxiao will stay at home with Sister Xiaoru and Sister Xiaoyi, waiting for me to come back."
Xiaoxiao nodded obediently and said, "I will learn martial arts from my master and protect my sister Xiaoru and Xiaoyi."
Xiaoxiao was very obedient and well-mannered. Tangning would sometimes guess whether she came from a wealthy family, but her family members were all dead, so he couldn't ask further questions. He just wanted to wait until she grew up.
, if you have the opportunity, ask her carefully about her family affairs.
Xiaoxiao and Fang Xinyue made an appointment to catch dragonflies by the water. Tangning originally wanted to accompany them, but before they could walk out the door, they met the eunuch who came from the palace to deliver the order.
Emperor Chen summoned him, probably to prepare for the marriage. When Tang Ning followed the eunuch into the hall, he found that King Kang and King Duan were both there. There was also a person standing beside them, whom he had met once at the Qionglin Banquet.
King Huai.
There is another figure in the hall, standing opposite the three kings. This is a middle-aged man, slightly fat, and looks quite kind.
Judging from the court clothes he was wearing, he was actually a prince.
Emperor Chen's eyes signaled him to wait aside. He looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "Prince Fu, who do you think is more suitable to marry Princess Changning of Chu State, Ming'er or Cheng'er?"
Tang Ning knew that Prince Fu was the younger brother of Emperor Chen's mother, an idle prince who was entrusted to the outside world. Tang Ning had heard of him because he was the father of Princess Anyang.
After Chen Huang finished speaking, King Duan and King Kang looked at King Fu at the same time.
Prince Fu raised his head, smiled and said, "Brother, Prince Duan and Prince Kang are both princes of our Chen Kingdom, but Princess Changning is the daughter of King Xin of the Chu Kingdom. In terms of status, it seems inappropriate."
"King Xin is in the Chu Kingdom and has almost taken charge of the government. Although his daughter is a princess, all it takes is an imperial edict from the Emperor of Chu to turn the princess into a princess. Besides..." Emperor Chen paused and said, "Perhaps even the princess can become a princess."
There is no need for an imperial edict."
He thought for a moment and looked at King Huai again.
King Huai looked up at him, was startled, and said: "Father, my son already has a princess..."
"I didn't ask you to marry me, I asked you to say..." Huang Chen looked at him, finally waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I can't get anything out of you."
"The Emperor of Chu has no princess, and Princess Changning is a very important figure. No matter what, she must be married to our Chen country, but who will she marry..."
He looked towards the corner of the hall and said, "Tang Ning..."
Tangning was stunned for a moment, then immediately said: "Your Majesty, I have already gotten married. Even if I agree, my two wives will not agree!"
