Chapter 834: Controversy

Qi Ning presided over the seizure of the Huainan Palace, and he has always been spent over there, and he has not cared much about the preparations for the emperor's wedding, after all, it is none of his business.

The procedure of the emperor's wedding is cumbersome and abnormal, even if someone wants to explain to Qi Ning, Qi Ning has no heart to listen, today with the honor guard to welcome the queen out of the palace to greet the queen, I thought that I would return to the palace immediately after receiving the queen, but I didn't expect to give birth to such a moth in the middle of the way.

Duan Shao, the prince of Eastern Qi, seemed to have heard about it for a long time, and he didn't show too much disgust when he followed the queue.

On both sides of the road leading to Sima Mansion, there was no previous overcrowding, and it was obvious that the people in Beijing knew very little about this matter, but there were still guards standing guard on both sides of the road, so it could be seen that all this was prepared in advance.

This way walked for more than half an hour, and finally arrived at the long street where Sima Mansion was located, Qi Ning saw from a distance at this time, both sides of the street were already covered with red colors, and countless large wooden poles were erected on both sides, on which red lanterns were hung, although it was a blue sky and white sun, but all the lanterns were lit, and the red silk cloth covered the walls on both sides, and the whole street seemed to be burning in a blazing fire.

The ground was also covered with red silk cloth, a festive one, Qi Ning frowned slightly, thinking that Sima Lan's actions this time were really not small, at least judging from the scene in front of him, his extravagance and pomp surpassed that of Princess Dongqi.

There is still some distance from the main gate of Sima Mansion, the golden jade chariot where Princess Tianxiang is located stopped, but there is a earth-shattering sound of gongs and drums not far ahead, Qi Ning knows that it must be Sima Mansion to make a disturbance, can't help but move to the side, look at the past, but see in front of the main gate of Sima Mansion in front, there is actually a jade chariot, brilliant, its luxury and extravagance, but it is not under the princess of Dongqi.

Su Yu also approached Qi Ning's side and looked forward, saw the jade chariot, frowned slightly, glanced at the prince of Dongqi in the crowd, and said in a low voice: "Is the Sima family too ostentatious, how can the jade chariot they prepared overshadow the queen's limelight?" ”

Qi Ning sneered in his heart, secretly thinking that Sima Lan was originally a cautious person, and this time he was so ostentatious, I am afraid that he wanted to let the world feel the power of the Sima family.

At this time, Sima Lan had already taken the lead in going to Sima Mansion, Yuan Laoshang also followed, and the other officials saw this, looked at each other, and could only follow behind, Su Yu hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's better to go over and take a look." "After going over, Qi Ning also wanted to see what tricks the Sima family was going to do, so he also followed.

In front of the house, Sima Changshen, who was dressed in a gorgeous costume, was leading Sima Changshen to wait up and down Sima Mansion, and when he saw Sima Lan leading the officials over, Sima Changshen immediately came forward and took the lead in kneeling on the ground.

Sima Lan's expression was solemn, and he said loudly: "By order, welcome Sima Yunqiong into the palace!" ”

Sima Changshen led the family to bow three times, turned around and waved his hand, and soon, a group of female officials came out of the mansion surrounded by a bride with a phoenix crown, Qi Ning knew that it was Sima Yunqiong, although his face was covered by red silk, and his body was also covered by a wide Xia curtain, but looking at that height, it was also slender.

Under the traction of the female official, Sima Yunqiong bowed to Sima Lan three times, and then bowed to Sima Changshen three times, and then slowly walked towards Yuren under the guidance of the female official.

Sima Lan took two steps forward and said in a loud voice: "Kneel!" He knelt down facing Sima Yunqiong.

The officials behind him were about to kneel down, when they suddenly heard a voice say, "Wait! This voice was quite abrupt, and although the gongs and drums were noisy all around, this sound was full of energy, and most of the people present heard it.

Everyone followed the sound and looked over, but saw Jinyi waiting for Qi Ning to come forward from behind, and they didn't know what Qi Ning was going to do, but they saw Qi Ning walking up to Yuan Lao Shangshu and asked: "Old Shangshu, Zhenguo Gong asked us to kneel, I don't know who we want to kneel?" ”

His voice was very loud, many people could hear it clearly, and Sima Changshen, who was not far away, naturally heard it clearly, his face changed slightly, his eyes showed anger, and he said loudly: "Naturally, I want to kneel to the imperial concubine, why should Jinyi ask knowingly?" ”

Qi Ning turned his head to look over and said with a smile: "Imperial concubine? But I don't know who the imperial concubine is talking about? ”

"Bold!" Sima Chang said cautiously: "Who is the imperial concubine, don't you know?" Raised his hand to Sima Yunqiong's side: "Of course it's a little girl." ”

Qi Ning shook his head and said, "That's not right. Before greeting the queen, there was a holy decree, and everyone could hear it clearly, the queen is the mother of a country, and as a courtier, she should be respected. But I have never heard the decree of the Holy Decree to canonize the imperial concubine, forgive me for my clumsiness, have all the adults present heard it? ”

Sima Lan had already knelt down at this time, but he didn't want Qi Ning to suddenly cause an incident, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, but he didn't speak.

An official in the back stepped forward and sneered: "Jinyihou, today is a big day, are you deliberately trying to make trouble?" Qi Ning glanced at it and recognized that it was Chen Lanting, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, who was Sima Lan's henchman, and frowned: "Chen Lanting, Ben Hou is talking here, when will it be your turn to be a mere waiter here?" ”

Chen Lanting was stunned, and said with some annoyance: "Master Hou, we are all ordered to welcome our relatives, and the time cannot be delayed, you are messing around here, aren't you deliberately delaying the auspicious time?" ”

"Nonsense?" Qi Ning laughed and asked rhetorically: "Chen Lanting, although you are a member of the ministry, you should not be ignorant of the etiquette system of the imperial court. Ben Hou asked you, let you kneel down to an inexplicable person to worship, are you willing? ”

Sima Changshen heard it behind him and said angrily: "Qi Ning, who do you say is an inexplicable person?" Do you know what the sin is to blaspheme the imperial concubine? ”

"Zhongyihou, don't you understand what I say?" Qi Ning's expression was grim: "Let me ask you, who is the imperial concubine?" Where is the emperor's will? Before the canonization, as a minister of the Chu State, of course, he couldn't kneel down at will. ”

"The emperor has already had the will to canonize the imperial concubine." Sima Changshen said loudly: "It's just that the edict will be issued after entering the palace." ”

Qi Ning smiled: "That's it, after entering the palace, the edict will be issued, that is what happens after entering the palace." ”

Sima Lan had already slowly got up, coughed twice, and said calmly: "It's the old man who is confused, the old man heard the emperor say in the palace that he wanted to canonize Sima Yunqiong as the imperial concubine, so he regarded Sima Yunqiong as the imperial concubine, what Jin Yihou said is that the emperor's will has not yet been promulgated, Sima Yunqiong is not the imperial concubine, as a minister of the court, naturally there is no need to visit the court." He bowed his hand to the officials and said: "The old man is old, old and confused, and I hope you will not be surprised." ”

The officials gave up their hands, but they didn't dare to say more.

Qi Ning said with a smile: "Don't be surprised, I'm worried that if the courtiers kneel down here for some reason and spread the word, I'm afraid that people will say that our ministers of the Chu State are a bunch of fools." ”

"Jinyi waited for a timely reminder, there was no mistake in the big event, the old man is too late to be grateful, how dare he be surprised?" Sima Lan smiled and looked at Yuan Lao Shangshu: "Lao Shangshu, the old man has to ask the emperor for this matter." ”

Yuan Lao Shangshu hurriedly said: "This is also a momentary negligence on the part of the old man, and it is not a big problem. Old man, is it time to go? ”

Sima Lan nodded slightly, and Yuan Laoshangshu waved his hand and said, "Let's go!" ”

The two jade chariots were lifted at the same time, but the honor guard did not move for a while, Yuan Laoshangshu reacted, hesitated, and then asked Sima Lan: "Old Guogong, where are we going?" ”

Qi Ning also saw the fame at this time.

Princess Tianxiang's jade chariot has not stopped before arriving at Sima Mansion, if she continues to move forward at this time, then Sima Yunqiong's jade chariot will walk in front, if you return according to the original way, Princess Tianxiang's jade chariot will naturally go ahead, but in this way, Princess Tianxiang will wait for the way back, the omen is very unlucky.

It is the ordinary people's family to welcome their relatives, and the route will be agreed in advance, once the bride is carried out of the door, there is absolutely no way back.

Sima Lan was calm and relaxed, and said with a smile: "Everything is arranged by Lao Shangshu." ”

Yuan Laoshangshu was suddenly embarrassed and hesitated, at this time everyone was waiting for Yuan Laoshangshu to give orders, Yuan Laoshangshu naturally did not dare to let Princess Tianxiang go back, but if he continued to move forward, Sima Yunqiong's jade chariot would go ahead, which was very inappropriate in terms of etiquette.

He also thought about it in advance when the welcoming team passed in front of Sima's mansion, and directly carried Princess Tianxiang's jade chariot to the front, and when he set off, Sima Yunqiong followed behind, but after arriving just now, he found that Sima's family had already prepared a huge jade chariot and placed it in the middle of the street, and it was surrounded by liturgical drummers, and Princess Tianxiang's jade chariot couldn't go at all.

Just now, Yuan Laoshangshu felt that something was wrong, and at this time, when Yu Yuan set off, he knew that trouble was really coming.

Chen Lanting knew it, but deliberately reminded him: "Old Shangshu, with all due respect, you must not let the queen's jade chariot turn around and spread it, it will damage the reputation of the imperial court." ”

Yuan Lao Shangshu nodded, his forehead was sweating urgently, Qi Ning knew that this old Shangshu was obedient and polite, and he was a good man, seeing that he was sweating urgently, he sighed, knowing that the Sima family deliberately set a trap, this time Lao Shangshu was in a dilemma, coughed, and stepped forward to ask: "Old Shangshu, what Lord Chen said is very true, the queen is out of the pavilion, naturally she can't go back, so there is only one choice, continue to move forward, and cross this street and detour." ”

Yuan Laoshangshu nodded and said, "It should be so, but it's ......!" ”

"Lao Shangshu is worried that the queen's jade chariot will be left behind?" Qi Ning didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "Such a trivial matter can be solved in one sentence." Mother in the world, under the whole world, no one's sedan chair can be bigger than the queen's jade chariot, the road ahead is clear, and the queen's jade chariot will not be in the past. ”

Chen Lanting heard it on the side, sneered, and said, "Jinyi, but I don't know how to clear the road?" ”
