The imperial edict specifically granted him three days of grace, allowing him to get married before taking up his post.
Yan Shiyue was caught off guard, but Meng Min was well prepared, and things started moving forward immediately.
On the first day, Tang Shirong recognized his adopted son and changed his name to Yan Shirong.
The next day, Meng Min came forward and invited Meng Dansui and Sheng Qi to serve as envoys and deputy envoys. They went to Duanqing's house to deliver betrothal gifts. The two families exchanged intermarriage documents and marriage certificates, and then "asked for a date."
The third day, "personal welcome".
The wedding was held in a hurry, but the splendor was not small. It could be called a beautiful wedding.
But Yan Shiyue really knew for the first time that weddings in the Yan Dynasty were held at night, "at dusk when heaven and earth come together", so it was also called a dusk ceremony.
Moreover, the wedding is truly a "guy and doll" affair, because the bride's dress is not red, but dark blue, and she wears a sideburn, and her head is uncovered... By the way, as an unmarried young woman in the groom's family, she has nothing to do.
Doing it is also quite boring.
On the fourth day, after bidding farewell to their parents, the young couple will leave the capital immediately.
For people like Yan Shirong, whose biological father was inauspicious, the process of returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors was actually unnecessary. He could directly hand over to Zhang Baigui and take over as county magistrate.
Xu Wenqu was also from Qinzhou and traveled with him, while Tang Wanbi was from Sizhou and left on the same day as them.
The Qin family and the Yan family all went to see him off.
Since her engagement, Qin Shiniang has experienced ups and downs in the envy of others, the even greater envy after she recognized her adopted son, and the outpouring of "sympathy". And anyone with a discerning eye can see that Tang Shirong in this county
I'm afraid it will take a long time, so naturally I will take pleasure in the misfortune.
But Qin Shiniang was obviously satisfied with Tang Shirong as a good son-in-law. Even though she couldn't even go to the homecoming ceremony, she could still see her brows and eyes full of shyness and joy of a bride.
Yan Shiyue knew that it was useless to tell her brother, so she secretly stuffed 50,000 yuan in silver notes to Qin Shiniang, and kept urging her. Fortunately, Qinzhou could be said to be her territory, and she had plenty of manpower.
, don’t worry too much.
Turning around, she told Xu Wenqu: "Sir, you have to come back soon! Without you, I feel unsure when doing things!"
Xu Wenqu was very helpless: "I chose to study as a bachelor. It's not the Hanlin Academy, so I can't stay in my hometown for a long time... I just hope that when I come back, you won't run away and disappear!"
That's really unprepared.
Yan Shiyue felt guilty, so she laughed twice and then stopped.
After seeing them out of the city gate, several groups of people walked together for a while before Tang Wanbi said goodbye to the two of them.
Xu Wenqu and Yan Shirong both dismounted and saluted. Tang Wanbi said with a smile: "I just said that my little friend Rong and I share the same surname, so we can be close to each other. But now,..." He shook his head with a smile, and then cupped his hands: "
I wish you a bright future, little friend Rong, and ask him, we will meet again someday."
Both sides cupped their hands and dispersed.
Tang Wanbi returned to the carriage and his smile gradually faded.
He touched his chin and murmured softly: "Yan Shirong... you are really good at being a father to a thief!"
At this time, Yan Shiyue had already entered the palace.
Although the imperial edict granted an extension of three days, in her feeling, as soon as the palace examination was over, everything was done before she could even react.
She was originally thinking about whether she should wait for him if her brother's wedding was late. If she didn't even attend his wedding, would it appear that she was more interested in sex than her brother...
It's okay now, no need to worry anymore.
She first went to find the imperial concubine, but now the imperial concubine was acting as a queen, and she was actually quite busy and not in Yonghe Palace.
She turned back to find Emperor Ming Yan and ate some fruit in the side hall. Emperor Ming Yan called him in. As soon as she entered, she said: "Ah, I'm so bored! My brother and husband are leaving."
…”
"No need to talk!" Emperor Ming Yan said without raising his head: "It goes without saying, I won't agree."
Yan Shiyue was stunned: "Aye, do you know what I want to do?"
Emperor Ming Yan chuckled, raised his head and glanced at her: "Do you think I know?"
Yan Shiyue suddenly wilted and lay beside his armrest with her little mouth pouted.
Then Emperor Ming Yan remembered and asked her: "What did you mean by asking people to stare at Tang Heng a few days ago?"
She asked Jia He to keep an eye on Tang Wanbi for three days, but there was nothing wrong with him, so Yan Shiyue asked them to come back.
Yan Shiyue said: "I don't know, I just think... he is a bit weird. Think about it. Passing the imperial examination and parading on a horse in the street is such a glorious thing. Isn't it just for this moment after ten years of hard work?"
Sir is so calm
All the people showed a bit of arrogance. My brother was elegant and upright, and he was also high-spirited. But Tang Wanbi still looked like that. How should I put it? He usually looked limited and pedantic. I didn’t think it was right.
Enemy."
Emperor Ming Yan said: "There are many people who are unfazed by favors and humiliations. What's so surprising about this?"
"Maybe," Yan Shiyue said, "Sometimes I just have a feeling and there is no basis for it."
Emperor Ming Yan nodded and said: "Go out and play. Don't think about begging me. I won't agree. Don't even think about sneaking away. I will ask people to keep an eye on you!"
The road was blocked, Yan Shiyue pouted and said coquettishly: "Yeah!"
"It's useless to call Aye, there's no need to discuss!" Emperor Ming Yan said with a straight face: "My parents are here and I won't travel far. You and Huo Qijing are not married yet, why do you want to go to him? You usually coax me well with your sweet words, so then
Stay with me and don’t go anywhere!”
Yan Shiyue came out dejectedly.
Emperor Ming Yan thought for a while and called the shadow guard, "Go and keep an eye on that Tang Heng!"
Although he didn't think there was anything wrong with Tang Heng, but since Yue'er said it, it didn't hurt to keep an eye on him. If he really had a problem, it would be fine in the capital, but not outside.
And Yan Shiyue once again ran to Yonghe Palace to stay guard.
When the imperial concubine came back, she was seen sitting there like a defeated rooster.
The imperial concubine smiled and said: "My dear Yue'er, what's going on?"
"Aniang!" Yan Shiyue rushed forward and acted coquettishly: "Aniang, please help me! Aye refuses to let me go to Xuzhou!"
The imperial concubine smiled and said: "Did Yue'er see my brother getting married and she wants to get married too?"
Listen! Is this what my mother said? You actually teased her like this!
Then Yan Shiyue, with no red face and no beating heart, said plausibly: "If you don't have faith, you don't know what you can do. I agreed to go to Ajing after the imperial examination. How can I not keep my word?"
"Oh?" The imperial concubine smiled and said, "You also promised me to come and accompany me more often, and promised you that I would be filial to you?"
Jinyu laughed and said, "Your Highness also agreed to teach me all the weaving techniques!"
"That's right!" the imperial concubine said with a smile: "If you don't have faith, you don't know what to do!"
Yan Shiyue swore that she would really, really never talk nonsense again!
Seeing her like this, the imperial concubine smiled and hugged her, and said softly: "With your temperament, who do you love? It really hurts my heart. If you go somewhere else, you, Aye, will miss you."
!As for Huo Qijing, we will stay together for a long time in the future, so why rush for a while?"
Yan Shiyue left the palace with a sad face.
She went to the most cunning Yan Shirui for advice, and Yan Shirui was very helpless: "So? I finally found my sister, and I couldn't kiss her enough. Do you still expect me to tell her to go find your fiancé? I
Why is it so embarrassing? Besides, it’s unreasonable, right?”
Yan Shiyue: "..."
Yan Shirui said sincerely: "You majestic princess, you are so busy, I know that you keep your word, but I don't know... It must be unpleasant to say, even if you don't care, you should think about the emperor, now you are no longer
Alone, you are the royal princess!"
Everything he said makes sense.
Yan Shiyue became angry and said: "I will never pay attention to you again! I don't like you anymore! Humph!"
She turned away.
Yan Shirui held his forehead, looked at her back, his smile faded, and his eyes gradually showed some worry. (To be continued)
