Chapter 902: The Big Wedding
The old lady had sharp eyes, looked up and saw Zhu Xu, and laughed loudly: "Your Majesty, come on, we are talking about you." ”
Zhu Xu walked in with a smile and said, "Concubine, imperial sister-in-law, I'm late." ”
The old lady beckoned from afar and said, "It's not too late, it's not too late, it's the right time, quickly, sit down." ”
Zhu Xu stepped forward with a smile and sat down next to the old lady.
Except for the old lady and the Empress Dowager Zhang, everyone else got up and saluted, Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "It's all free of courtesy, sit down and sit down, no need to be polite." ”
Everyone hurriedly 'thanked' and sat down in turn.
The old lady took Zhu Xu's hand and patted it, "Just now we discussed with Mrs. Zhang about the emperor's wedding, and the rest is basically fine, there are only a few days left." ”
Zhu Xu glanced at Mrs. Zhang and said with a smile, "What day did the concubine choose?" ”
The old lady said: "The twentieth day of the first lunar month is an auspicious day of the zodiac, but the queen mother said to see what you mean." ”
Zhu Xu pondered for a while, and said: "Next year, there will be a big martial arts and a big court discussion, although these three things seem to be unrelated, they are almost the same thing, and I plan to put them together." First the big wedding, after the big wedding, I watched the big show with the queen, civil and military officials, foreign envoys, etc., so that I can be a hundred officials, the people of the world, and the surrounding countries know the strength of my Ming Dynasty, and then there is the court discussion, which is related to my Ming Dynasty's centennial plan, and cannot be ignored......"
The old lady is also a person who has been through ups and downs for a long time, and she understands when she listens, and said with a slightly solemn expression: "Does the emperor want the adults in the outer court and the provinces to enter Beijing to participate in the emperor's wedding, and then observe the big martial arts, and finally discuss the country's major policies together?" ”
This is an interlocking thing, Zhu Xu nodded, and said, "Yes." Therefore, I plan to set the date on the ninth day of the first month of January, three days later, a big military exercise, and then on the fifth day, a big court meeting will be held. ”
The old lady nodded lightly when she listened, she would not refute Zhu Xu's government affairs, and this is a major policy of the country, and she can't refute it!
She and Empress Dowager Zhang glanced at each other, and Empress Dowager Zhang also nodded slightly, and then the old lady looked at Mrs. Zhang and said with a smile: "What does Mrs. Zhang think?" Don't hesitate to say whatever you think. ”
Mrs. Zhang's face was indeed embarrassed, and she said after a while: "There is no problem, the sixth day of the first month of January is the death day of the deceased husband." ”
Zhu Xu suddenly bowed his head and said, "Okay, on the sixth day of the first month of January, I will sacrifice with you, and I will toast the prince in advance as my future son-in-law." ”
Mrs. Zhang was shocked, and hurriedly got up and knelt on the ground and said: "The women don't dare, how can He De let the emperor sacrifice her husband ......"
The old lady smiled, let people help Mrs. Zhang, and said, "Needless to say, the emperor is filial when he is young, so it's decided." ”
Listening to the old lady's words, Mrs. Zhang's face was full of gratitude, and she wiped her tears and got up to thank her.
Empress Dowager Zhang breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and looked at Zhu Xu's eyes with emotion. It seems that yesterday I was still waiting for a little girl to go to her palace for dinner, and from time to time I taught a lesson, and in a blink of an eye, the little guy who jumped out like a wild monkey has grown up, has become a husband and father, and is now going to get married.
Xiao Yongning looked around with wide eyes, looked up at Zhu Xu, and said in a crisp voice: "Uncle Huang, if my aunt enters the palace, where does she live, can I play with her at any time?" Cao Huachun is so annoying, the Qianqing Palace doesn't let people in......"
When her words fell, the old lady and Empress Dowager Zhang were stunned, and turned their heads to look at Cao Huachun, who was standing outside the door.
Cao Huachun's face was shocked, and he hurriedly stood outside the door, saluted inside, and said, "The slave is confused, please forgive the princess." ”
Zhu Xu waved his hand, glared at the little girl and said, "You don't make trouble for me." I ask you, where did all those things that were missing from the Qianqing Palace go? ”
The little girl blinked, she didn't expect to bring up this matter, and turned her head and said angrily: "Sister Huan'er said, those were originally from our Cining Palace, and they were stolen by the imperial uncle before, and I just took them back......"
"Shut up!" Before the little girl finished speaking, Empress Dowager Zhang reprimanded her coldly.
The corners of Zhu Xu's mouth moved, and sure enough, the little girl's voice fell, and there were strange eyes all around.
The black history was picked up, and the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, Zhu Xu coughed, looked at the little girl and said angrily: "You don't have to make excuses." When I lived in Cining Palace, I didn't have you, and later the imperial sister-in-law was worried that I was short of things in Jinghuan Palace, so she rewarded me with ......"
The little girl was angry, and just as she was about to speak, the old lady waved her hand and said with a smile: "Okay, your uncle and nephew save some face for the old woman, and you are not afraid to spread it out and make people laugh." ”
This is considered an outsider, that is, King Lu and Mrs. Zhang.
King Lu's face was calm, his ears and nose were looking at his heart, and it was not a big deal to talk about it.
When the emperor was young, don't touch some things from his 'adoptive mother', and the little princess took a little object from the imperial uncle, which is something that they know each other, even if it is passed out, it is also a warm story of the parents and the harem.
Mrs. Zhang could also see the harmony in the harem, and lowered her head with a smile on her face.
Empress Dowager Zhang pressed Xiao Yongning, didn't let her continue to make trouble, looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Kuntai Palace has been cleaned up, I have already selected the manpower, and I will settle it as soon as possible, and after you get married, you can let the queen arrange and take ......care of it according to her preferences."
The emperor lived in Qianqing Palace, the queen's residence was in Kuntai Palace, the Empress Dowager's residence was Cining Palace, Concubine Liu lived in Renshou Palace, Li Jieyu lived in Yuzao Palace, and Hailanzhu lived in Zhilan Palace.
This one has no objection to Zhu Xu, and said: "Listen to the concubine and the imperial sister-in-law." ”
Empress Dowager Zhang and Concubine Liu nodded with a smile, in their opinion, in this matter, as long as Zhu Xu 'doesn't add to the chaos', it will basically go well.
The old lady and the Empress Dowager Zhang then discussed the specific details with Mrs. Zhang, King Lu and others.
Zhu Xu's hand was grabbed by the old lady, sitting on the side and listening honestly, uncomfortable, crying and laughing, and feeling that her brain hurt.
The procedures of this wedding ceremony are really complicated, one procedure after another, Zhu Xu just remembered this, and then forgot about it, and finally sorted it out, and they didn't know where to say, their intuition was so inconsistent that they couldn't figure it out at all.
In the end, Zhu Xu simply didn't listen, and sighed in his heart, when the time comes, he will have to be fiddled with for a day like an enthronement ceremony, like a marionette.
After talking about his, and then the queen's, Zhang Yun's side is even more terrifying, Zhu Xu was shocked when he heard it, he was still walking, sitting, Zhang Yun was standing almost the whole time, for a long time, a few hours, and he had to wear dozens of pounds!
Zhu Xu was dizzy when he heard it, he couldn't distinguish things at all, and with the charcoal fire in the house, his intuition was warm, his mind was swollen, and he was drowsy.
It wasn't until after dark, I don't know how long it took, that the old lady slapped the back of Zhu Xu's hand vigorously, and said with a smile still in good spirits: "Your Majesty, don't worry so much, someone will teach you when the time comes." ”
Zhu Xu suddenly came to his senses, rubbed his face, and said, "Yes, I'm not worried, I'm just a little anxious." ”
When the old lady heard this, she smiled and patted the back of Zhu Xu's hand hard, and said, "Don't worry, it's almost ......."
Empress Dowager Zhang saw that Zhu Xu was a little tired, so she said: "The New Year is approaching, the emperor should take a rest, and there will be more things next year...... In the future, I will have a lot of things, and Yongning will be left to you to take care of. ”
The little girl was overjoyed when she heard this, and nodded at Zhu Xu again and again.
Zhu Xu didn't see it, and said: "Sister-in-law, I've been very busy lately, I don't have time to pay attention to her, find two people to watch, let her honestly read books in the room, and learn from female popularity." ”
The little girl's eyes widened, staring at Zhu Xu, grinding her teeth, and her little face was indignant.
Empress Dowager Zhang wanted to find something to relax for Zhu Xu, but she didn't care when she listened, "Okay, you go and get busy, I'll do the rest, by the way, I will let Mrs. Fu enter the palace tomorrow and help do something together." ”
This can be regarded as someone from Zhu Xu's mother's side, nodded, and said, "Well, the imperial sister-in-law will look at it." ”
Zhu Xu stayed in Cining Palace for a long time, until the old lady looked tired, and then she dispersed.
Zhu Xu walked out of Cining Palace and exhaled lightly. The matter of the big wedding was decided, and he also settled a matter on his mind.
Cao Huachun followed Zhu Xu for a while, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, are you going back to the Qianqing Palace or?" ”
Zhu Xu carried his sore shoulders, and said after a while: "Let's go to the Imperial Garden for a walk and change the air." ”
"Yes." Cao Huachun said, and at the same time ordered people to prepare, lighting lanterns.
I don't know if it's an illusion or what, the moment I walked into the Imperial Garden, a cold wind struck, straight to the door, Zhu Xu's body trembled slightly, and the whole person was a lot more sober.
Zhu Xu took a breath, walked in, sat down on the swing recliner, closed his eyes, and shook himself slowly.
Cao Huachun and the others quietly retreated, a little farther away from Zhu Xu.
