A group of female relatives hurriedly left Xiyuan and asked the servants and maids to bring a two-fold sandalwood floor-to-ceiling screen to block the door of the Moon Cave.
After all this busy work, before I had time to discuss the countermeasures in detail, I heard a report from the servant, saying that the person in front had already broken through the gate and came here.
"How come it's so fast!"
"I thought I could stop him for at least half an hour!"
This is a full plan, but it only lasts for two quarters of an hour!
But we really can’t blame the people in Dongyang Palace for not working hard——
The boy who came to deliver the message gave a rough account of the battle in the front yard.
When it comes to strength, the people of Dongyang Palace are no problem. Qin Wuyunliu personally led people to block the two gates tightly.
The accompanying officials, including Xie Shoufu and his entourage, who were usually the most prestigious in the court, patiently and politely discussed with Qin Wu and others through the gate.
Seeing that the other party was so particular and obviously couldn't let go of the court's dignity and did not dare to do anything drastic, Qin Wu couldn't help but relax a bit of vigilance——
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a group of highly skilled police officers and members of the Prince's Army waited for an opportunity to climb over the wall and get in, catching them off guard!
No matter how strong we are, how can we withstand the opponent's internal and external cooperation?
"I don't know who came from this bad move! It's probably your old friend!"
"You can't taint someone's innocence. In my opinion, he looks like Taifu Jiang!"
Someone else asked: "If you can't do martial arts, what about the literary ones?"
"Yes, yes, there are still the crown prince and the second master!"
"My second master actually came forward in person..." The boy who delivered the message smiled very reluctantly, "But today we have not only Jie Shoufu, Jiang Taifu, Ming Yushi, ministers from various ministries, but also the Cabinet University Scholar Yu.
, Cao Langzhong and others!”
It is not an exaggeration to say that this formation has brought together all the champions since the founding of the Daqing Dynasty in one place!
This is truly prepared!
No matter how good his second master is, he is still outnumbered!
After hearing this, the female relatives laughed and made calculations with each other, saying which family's master had contributed the most, but he had actually hindered them and destroyed his own family's prestige.
"Okay, okay, now is the time for internal strife! Everyone is here!"
"We have to be more ambitious and block this door!"
"We can't let them break in easily..."
"You must remember the lesson learned by Mr. Xu when he welcomed the bride! Don't fall into the trap again later!"
"As you say, how can you stumble twice on the same road? Are these two screens in vain?"
Let them do whatever they want, as long as they don't take the trick!
"I'm coming……!"
There was a burst of noise, and the female relatives quickly cheered up.
A little girl who did not believe in evil stood beside the screen and looked quietly. When she saw the person walking at the front and coming towards her, she immediately took a breath and hurriedly retracted behind the screen - and sure enough... she really couldn't look at it!
It is said that His Royal Highness the Prince is a man of heaven, and that he and Miss Xu are a match made in heaven... When we meet today, we know that the rumors are not a joke!
"Madams, you are too wary, why would you block the screen here? Is it possible that we can force our way in?"
A group of officials gathered around the crown prince and came to the Moon Cave Gate. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but sigh.
"Prevention is more than just breaking in!" A lady smiled and said, "Let me ask you first, what are you doing here today?"
This question is within the rules and etiquette.
"I am here to welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
There were also people in the army who answered in a strong and honest voice: "Here comes to help my Highness get a wife!"
This is the voice of a young man.
Everyone laughed.
Amidst the laughter, Princess Yufeng looked through the gap between the two screens and saw a young man wearing a round-necked robe with sleeves standing in front. He was tall and tall, with a dark complexion and a
A completely natural recklessness.
Hearing the female family members ask one question after another, and the people on the opposite side responded fluently, Princess Yufeng chuckled lightly and spoke -
"I also have a few words to ask His Highness the Crown Prince." She said in a leisurely tone: "After my Zhao Zhao marries you, who will be in charge of the affairs of the family?"
As soon as these words came out, there was a slight silence.
It would be okay to ask this when it comes to ordinary people getting married, but today's marriage is a royal marriage...
It was Princess Yufeng who could ask the question!
But because she was the princess, no matter how out of place the question was, it would not be a big surprise.
After a moment of reaction, the atmosphere returned to normal and it was just a joke.
The next moment, I heard His Royal Highness the Prince reply: "No matter how big or small the matter is, only those who are capable will do it."
Everyone laughed and agreed.
The answer is ambiguous, but it is enough to debunk this meaningless question.
However, immediately afterwards, I heard the voice say: "Zhaozhao is smarter than me, and she is also more insightful and broad-minded than me - she should make the decision in everything."
This answer caused a sudden uproar everywhere.
Surprises and laughter all mixed together.
"Okay! Okay!" Prince Jing took the lead and applauded, stroking his hands.
Some officials smiled and shook their heads.
Even though it was a casual statement, His Highness the Crown Prince's words could be said to have given the Xu family and the Crown Princess some dignity.
The smile in Taifu Jiang's eyes was meaningful.
Behind the screen, Princess Yufeng asked again: "Then let me ask Your Highness again, after my Zhaozhao becomes the Crown Princess, how many concubines and beauties does Your Highness plan to recruit to serve her?"
This question is quite confusing.
Xie Wuyang answered without any hesitation——
"There is always someone to serve the Crown Princess. I am only Zhao Zhao in this life. There is no possibility of establishing a side concubine again."
Unlike the noise caused by the previous question, this answer caused silence.
Oh, it's not all quiet...
Qiu Caier couldn't help but scream, her hands tightly grasped the front of her clothes, and she burst into tears with excitement.
Who can understand her mood?
Almost no one present expected to hear such an answer.
Although I am here to welcome the bride, after all, I am the prince. If I encounter a question that I don’t want to answer, I can just avoid it. With so many officials around me, are I afraid that I can’t handle this small scene?
But he answered directly, and he answered like this!
On the wedding day, in front of everyone, this statement is no different from a promise!
But...there is only one princess in this life?
Now he is just a prince, but in the future if he is...
There is no such precedent!
No, it cannot be said that there is no precedent...
Leaving aside the pair of emperors and empresses from the Dajing Dynasty hundreds of years ago——
Isn’t it true that His Majesty is unwilling to choose a concubine today?
We have been arguing together for a long time, and the father is trying to show his son!
Let’s make the road smoother first… and save the trouble for being a minister in the future!
Thinking about it this way, His Majesty is so considerate...
Realizing this, the ministers felt particularly complicated.
But after all, it is a big day, and it is not appropriate to say anything that will offend the scenery - and this is the Dongyang Prince's Palace, so I would like to stand up and raise objections at this time...
They didn't want to have just finished the prince's wedding banquet today, and soon everyone would come to eat at home!
And now the prince is just talking about it. When he actually takes that position, balancing the forces of all parties, the issue of heirs... these all need to be considered.
As everyone knows, Xie Wuhao has already thought about these issues carefully.
Since you have decided to get married, you cannot be confused.
He made this decision before he knew his life experience, and after he knew his life experience, he never changed it.
Balancing power should not involve the harem and innocent women. And there will be disputes only because of comparisons. Don't worry about the few but the inequality. If everyone can stop this thought from the beginning and focus on the front dynasty,
It's not necessarily a good thing.
How a road will go can only be known by actually doing it.
As for the heirs——
He and Zhao Zhao will have their own children.
Even if they don't, or Zhao Zhao doesn't want to have children, it doesn't matter.
Isn’t there still a prince named Jing?
It is said that not long ago, a woman secretly came to the door of Prince Jing’s Mansion with a baby——
Presumably, the heirs in Prince Jing's palace will be very rich in the future.
Under such circumstances, if he borrows one or two qualified people to support him, this request is not too much, right?
But these retreats can only be understood in your mind, and it is not appropriate to state them too early.
After all, it was a private matter between him and Zhao Zhao, so we should wait and see, and there was no need to explain too much to outsiders.
And what he said today was precisely to avoid many unnecessary comments in the future.
"Good answer, you are worthy of being the son of my Xie family!" Unlike other people's vague statements, Princess Yufeng was very satisfied.
After all the female relatives were surprised, they were even more envious.
There are also a few girls who are in their fifteenth and sixteenth years who are quietly missing. Their families have vaguely mentioned to them the position of the crown prince's concubine. Today, they were shocked to see the crown prince. It is inevitable at such an age.
This gave rise to some fantasies.
But in the end, it was just an idea that had not yet had time to take root. Therefore, this insignificant loss was quickly washed away by the joy all around.
They are all pampered and well-educated girls. They have their own pride. They have made it clear in public, so who would be willing to be the redundant person?
Moreover, the scene of the Xu family's girl winning her first victory in the spring hunt that day is still imprinted in their minds.
Miss Xu used practical actions to tell them that girls can also have their own ideas and should not just compete with each other in the back house and give up all the benefits to the men -
They respected Miss Xu.
And I clearly understand that I am worthy of being respected.
And if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can truly have no second person by his side, then he is also someone worthy of their respect.
After thinking about this, the girls looked at the handsome young man, and their mood became more and more calm and clear.
From being a tangled insider, to truly retreating to the outside, it can be said to be relieved and relaxed.
Some girls whispered to Princess Yufeng to ask more questions.
Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has set an example for all people, they may be able to use the same standards to choose their husbands in the future.
Princess Yufeng smiled and cleared her throat slightly, and when she was about to speak again, she saw a big hand suddenly grabbing the side of the screen.
"What are you going to do?" Princess Yufeng held down the hand vigilantly and leaned out half of her body to take a look.
I saw it was the tall young man who had just shouted, "He is here to help His Royal Highness get a wife."
When she got closer, she saw that this young man, who was a full head taller than her, had a pair of extremely pure and bright black eyes.
Mixed with that reckless aura, he looked like... a little wild wolf that just ran out of the mountains.
Princess Yufeng raised her face and blinked.
She doesn't have this one in her house.
The young man surnamed Nie was looking at her so directly, and she pressed the palm of his hand that was holding the edge of the screen, and his face couldn't help but turn red.
He didn't dare to look down at her at all, and he stumbled over his words: "We can't delay any longer, don't... don't miss the right moment!"
As he said that, he put a lot of force and lifted the heavy sandalwood screen!
Princess Yufeng was almost knocked to the ground by his actions, but fortunately, she was supported by the girls on the side in time.
Someone raised his voice, and soon a group of young people began to follow suit and move another screen.
Looking at the panicked female relatives, a group of officials shook their heads in disapproval and tried to dissuade them.
"This is against the rules..."
"You young people..."
"Just saying there is a hammer is enough to stop him!" A lady stamped her foot and glared at her man.
In response, the adults unanimously chose to be deaf and stood where they were with their hands down.
Xie Wuyang crossed the Moon Cave Gate and headed towards Xiyuan with a group of internal officials and deacons.
All the female relatives hurriedly followed him with cheers.
The maid who had reported the news quickly ran back to the courtyard, panting: "It's coming, it's coming!"
Hearing this, Xu Mingyi hurriedly put down the gold and jade fringed veil in front of the phoenix crown, and Xu bent down to help her tidy it up.
Akui had already greeted her with the attitude of a big maid.
However, Xie Wuyang and his party were blocked again——
Looking at the big bird blocking the stone steps of the main hall with its wings spread out, and then looking at the other bird of similar size next to it, Xie Wuyang couldn't help but wonder - who is this?
On the stone steps, Akui held his hands by his side and explained with a smile: "Your Majesty the Crown Prince, you don't know something. His Majesty found this person as a companion for Tianmu. It is said that he has been raised in Mizhou for more than a year.
The third eye is a perfect match - the girl named it Tianwei."
Tianwei……
Xie Wuyang was silent.
Earlier, my father said that he would reward Tianmu generously, but did he mean to allocate a daughter-in-law to solve a lifelong issue?
And both birds are now tied with red silk flowers...
So, who is getting married today?
He and this bird actually accomplished major life events in the same year, month and day?
It's hard to describe this feeling, but I have already expected that an unfilial son will hold me back——
Under the instruction of His Highness the Crown Prince, the officials on the side quickly took out the prepared cooked meat and threw it towards the two birds.
The two birds collected the money to buy their way, and then they were let go by the deacon.
"Hey!" Tianmu swallowed the meat, puffed out his chest and shouted to Tianwei triumphantly - let's see what I can do, right?
Tianwei responded to it, and the two birds nestled together and ate meat.
In the main hall, four female officials held curtains and fans in front of them, two on the left and two on the right, to welcome the bride out.
Xie Wuyang stood at the foot of the stone steps, looking through the slowly opened curtains, and for a moment he felt that all the sounds of everything in the world had disappeared.
The phoenix crown and harem were dazzling, and the gold thread orbs were unparalleled, but they could not suppress her color. Behind the gently swaying golden and jade veil, those beautiful and bright eyes were smiling at him.
