On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, the Dragon Boat Festival, Jia Ke held a big banquet in the side hall of Qianqing Palace and invited all the royal relatives to the palace for a reunion.
In addition to these people, there are also some people who are Jia Ke's close confidants, civil and military. These people followed Jia Ke in the south and north, and Jia Ke treated them very kindly.
After getting drunk with wine, Jia Ke sat on the throne and coughed. The originally lively scene below immediately became quiet.
Jia Ke smiled and said: "Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and I have a happy event to share with you."
After Jia Ke finished speaking, he said to Xiao Yue below: "Xiao Aiqing, come to the middle."
Xiao Yue's face turned red as soon as he heard Jia Ke's words. He twisted a little, stood up from his seat, walked to the center of the hall, and knelt on the ground.
Jia Ke then spoke, "Xiao Aiqing, over the years, she has made great achievements in the wars in the north and south. Now Xiao Aiqing is granted the title of Marquis of Anyang."
After hearing this, Xiao Yue kowtowed repeatedly. The ultimate goal of every man is to be a prince, and now he has finally achieved it.
Jia Ke went on to say: "My sister Jia Yingchun is a virtuous and virtuous woman with quite a lot of female virtues. She is now named Princess Heyang. Princess Heyang is reaching the prime of life and she is specially given to marry Xiao Yue."
After hearing this, everyone was in an uproar and looked at Xiao Yue with envy. Not only did this boy become a marquis, but he also married the emperor's favorite sister. His future future is limitless.
Xiao Yue was also very excited now. After he knelt down to thank Jia Ke again, he returned to his seat.
After conferring the title of Xiao Yue, Jia Ke stood up, came to the center of the hall, walked back and forth, and said to the sitting ministers: "I went to the border to fight when I was 14 years old. It took me so many years to reach my current status. Many people followed me. The bones of my soldiers who fought in the south and north have been buried on the battlefield, but I must treat those who are still alive."
Then Jia Ke returned to his seat and said to Li Deshan next to him: "Let's get started."
*** immediately took out an imperial edict from a table, went to the center, opened it, and said to the people below: "The emperor has an edict, and the ministers will accept it."
So all the royal relatives, civil and military ministers in the main hall all left their seats and knelt in the center of the main hall.
At this time, Li Deshan said again: "The emperor was entrusted by heaven, and the edict said: I started from a weak crown, and experienced many life and death in the border killing field. I relied on the support of all the civil and military personnel under my command. Now that I have ascended to the great treasure, I must not not grant the title of meritorious ministers. I am specially granted the title of Huangbai Feng is the Marquis of Shouyang, Feng Mo is the Marquis of Wudu, Zheng Kai is the Marquis of Anze, Ma Zuo is the Marquis of Fushun, Xiao Kun is the Marquis of Jinchang, Luo Cen is the Marquis of Qingyang, and Xiao Yue is the Marquis of Anyang. I admire this."
After hearing this, all the civil and military officials cheered together.
From then on, these seven families became the seven most prominent families in the Yan Dynasty, and were also called the Seven Founding Lords. Even after that, many people were granted the title of duke due to their merits, but they still regarded these seven families in private. Called himself Marquis.
Moreover, these seven families began to marry each other and became the new powerful leaders of the Dayanyan Dynasty.
After the banquet at Qianqing Palace, the civil and military officials dispersed, but 5 of the 7 people who had been granted the title of marquis were present. But now they came together, began to congratulate each other, and began to discuss their interests in private. exchange.
However, the Jia family members could not leave immediately, so they came to Ningshou Palace together to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager Jia Mu who was there.
At Jia Mu's place, all the female relatives have finished the banquet and are congratulating Jia Mu there.
After Jia Ke came in with these people, he first bowed to Jia's mother, and then the Jia family members stood up.
But Jia Ke sat next to Jia Mu, and on the other side of Jia Mu sat the Supreme Emperor Jia Zheng.
When Jia Mu saw that everyone was already seated, she said to Jia Ke, "I heard that you prepared a palace for Baoyu some time ago?"
"It turns out that the old lady has also heard about it. I thought that Baoyu was getting older and might get married soon, so I made preparations for him first."
Baoyu was unwilling to be lonely at this time. He came to Jia Mu and said with a smile: "I have visited that house. It is really good. But the couplets on it are a bit pedantic. I have changed them all for him."
When Jia Zheng heard this, he thought of scolding him. Fortunately, Mrs. Wang, who was sitting next to him, pulled his sleeve, and Jia Zheng suppressed his anger.
Jia Mu didn't seem to notice the couple's actions, and said to Jia Ke with a smile: "Since everything is ready, let Baoyu handle the matter."
"You all listen to Lafayette. I will order Qin Tian to check the date and get the matter settled for him within a month or two."
Jia Mu nodded, and then said to the Queen Mother beside her: "The emperor has many things to do, so you should worry more about this matter."
The Queen Mother quickly agreed after hearing this.
After the Dragon Boat Festival, the court returned to calm, but two places began to get busy. One was the Anyang Marquis Mansion, where Xiao Yue was preparing to marry the princess.
And Jia Ke did not live up to Aunt Zhang's trust in him. He built a Heyang Princess Mansion for Jia Yingchun next to the Anyang Marquis Mansion. He also placed many maids and eunuchs in the Princess Mansion, but he did not give any to Jia Yingchun.
Yingchun chose the nanny who was in charge of the affairs and the back house. This was to let Jia Yingchun make her own arrangements after getting married. After all, she could rest assured of her own people.
The other place was Prince Fu's Mansion. Jia Baoyu was kicked out of the palace by Jia Mu after the Dragon Boat Festival. After all, he was about to get married. If word got out that he and Lin Daiyu continued to meet in the palace, it would be either good or bad.
After Jia Baoyu left the palace and moved to Prince Fu's Mansion, he was like a wild horse that had escaped from the reins. This time, no one cared about him anymore.
On June 15th, the sky was clear and clear. The road from the imperial palace to the Anyang Marquis Mansion had been blocked by soldiers, and the streets were covered with clear water and loess paved roads.
But the people in the capital are still watching the excitement on both sides of the road, because on this day, the emperor's sister is going to marry Xiaoyue, the Marquis of Anyang. This is the first time in this dynasty. If you miss this excitement, I am afraid you will have to wait dozens of times next time.
years.
On this morning, Jia Ke made an exception and got up early. After getting dressed, he was led by Li Deshan to the small palace where Jia Yingchun lived.
Now in the palace, Jia Yingchun has put on her wedding clothes, and is waiting on the palace maid to prepare to bid farewell to Jia Mu and Jia Zheng.
At this moment, she saw that all the maids and eunuchs in the palace suddenly fell to their knees, and then she heard the sound of footsteps.
And Jia Ke's voice also sounded in her ears: "You all go out, I want to have a few words with Yingchun."
Then there were the sounds of messy footsteps. It seemed that all the maids and eunuchs in the palace had left.
At this time, Jia Ke walked up to Jia Yingchun and sat on a chair near her.
Although Jia Yingchun was covered with a hijab, she quickly stood up and gave Jia Ke a blessing.
"My dearest sister, I wish you long live, long live, long live my emperor."
"No need to be polite, dear sister, please take a seat quickly."
After listening to Jia Ke's words, Jia Yingchun sat on the bed again and lowered her head to listen to Jia Ke's instructions.
Jia Ke looked at Jia Yingchun, who was about to get married, and remembered how pitiful she looked when she was just born.
Now Jia Ke was filled with emotions, and his left hand couldn't help but touch the ring on his right hand.
In the end, Jia Ke put down his hand. Giving this ring to Jia Yingchun would probably bring trouble to her. Even if he could tolerate it, future emperors might not be able to tolerate her descendants having such a treasure. It would be better to just let it go.
Stay Royal.
"Sister Yingchun, you will either go somewhere far away when you get married this time, or you will live in the capital. If you have any unpleasant things in the future, don't keep it in your heart. Come to the palace and tell your brother."
After hearing this, Jia Yingchun couldn't help but shed tears in her eyes. The only person she could say a few words to in Jia's house and who made her feel close to him was Jia Ke.
"Thank you for taking care of me, brother. I will keep it in my heart, sister."
"No matter what my brothers and sisters say, thank you. You have to live well and live happily. Only in this way will your mother be happy even if she knows her secretly."
After Jia Yingchun heard this, she burst into tears again. She had never seen her biological mother since she was born, but she had been under her mother's protection for so many years. Jia Yingchun completely felt his mother's love for her.
Care and love.
Jia Ke said some caring words to Jia Yingchun, and then stood up and left.
Then the mother who was getting married came in to help Jia Yingchun get into the sedan chair, and then went to the Ningshou Palace to kowtow to the Empress Dowager Jia Mu to say goodbye.
Then he went to Kangning Palace to say goodbye to Jia Zheng and the Queen Mother, and finally went to Cining Palace to say goodbye to the Queen Mother Zhou.
This round is not over yet, we still have to go to Kunning Palace to say goodbye to Qin Keqing.
Later, when it was almost noon, Jia Yingchun's sedan chair left the palace. At the entrance of the palace, Xiao Yue rode a BMW and was waiting there for a long time wearing the attire of a groom.
After that, we went back to the Anyang Marquis Mansion together, and kowtowed to the ancestors of Xiao Yue who were enshrined there in the main hall of the Anyang Marquis Mansion.
After that, Xiao Yue sent Jia Yingchun into the bridal chamber, and Xiao Yue had to go out to entertain the relatives and friends who came to congratulate him.
In the evening, Xiao Yue returned to the bridal chamber. Under the guidance of his teaching mother, the couple drank acacia wine before resting.
When it was daytime on the second day, Xiao Yue and Jia Yingchun went into the palace again to salute the Empress Dowager, the Supreme Emperor Jia Zheng, Jia Ke and others, and then went to Prince Jing's Mansion to salute Jia She.
After that, the couple went back to their respective homes. Yes, everyone guessed correctly, the couple did not live in the same place.
Jia Yingchun will live in the Heyang Princess Mansion, while Xiao Yue will live in the Anyang Hou Mansion.
If Jia Yingchun wanted to see Xiao Yue in the future, she would have to order her correctional aunt to go and deliver the message. Only with Jia Yingchun's permission could Xiao Yue be able to reunite with Jia Yingchun at the princess's residence.
When Jia Yingchun returned to the princess's mansion, she saw that there was no one in charge. Combined with the education given to her by the nuns in the palace, she finally understood Jia Ke's good intentions.
This Jia Ke asked her to arrange and teach her mother. Only in this way can Jia Yingchun live a easier and faster life. Otherwise, she would have to live like a princess in the past, almost living a widowed life.
In ancient times, princesses and consorts could not meet casually. Every time, the princess had to give an order, and the teaching aunt went to the consort's house to pass the order, so that the consort could enter the princess's house and meet the princess.
The princesses of all dynasties were all royal ladies, so how could they have the dignity to recruit consorts frequently, and besides, there were nuns who taught them beside them to constrain them.
Sometimes, in order to see the prince-in-law, a princess has to bribe her nanny. Otherwise, the nanny will gossip a lot, which will make you blush. Therefore, in history, many princesses were not even seen for half a year.
Prince Consort, this is one of the reasons why the lifespan of princesses in the past dynasties was not long.
