Chapter 92: The Wedding Banquet
The Weiyang Palace is brightly lit, and thick red candles are burning everywhere. In the flickering candle flame, you can see the staggered figures of cups everywhere.
Today is the wedding celebration of the great Han Emperor, the great Liu Xiaozhu. The princes and nobles of the entire Han Dynasty were celebrating Liu Che's new marriage, with the exception of Yun Xiao.
Nangong has openly represented the Yun family to attend such a banquet, anyway, Yan Xian and Ellis have no interest in such a banquet, they like a quiet life and don't like this kind of flashy enthusiasm.
Liu Che raised his glass and toasted with people everywhere, drinking the Yun family's secret fruit stuffing. This thing is a woman's favorite, and as for the more upscale wines, there is no such large supply. It can only be for the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother and the most distinguished female guests.
The wedding was personally organized by Princess Guantao, and the nephew was about to become a son-in-law. Such a great deed must be done in a big way, and the money in the treasury is spent like flowing water. The wedding was almost like flowers and brocade cooking oil.
The branches of the trees in the royal garden are covered with colorful silk, and Gillian likes red, so the surrounding area of the east has become a sea of red. From the walls to the pillars, to the bluestone floor, they were all covered with red colored silk and blankets.
The guests were all people who had seen the world, but it was the first time that they had attended such a lavish wedding banquet. They looked at the qiē in front of them with a good taste, because they always had a tendency to split their tongues.
There was a smile on everyone's face, and the guests were laughing. The magnates are laughing, the Queen Mother is laughing, Princess Guantao is laughing, and the Queen Mother is laughing. The only one who doesn't laugh may be Liu Che himself.
His Majesty the Emperor was admiring the congratulatory gifts that the vassal kings had presented to him. Liu Che, who was a little smoky, looked at it the same. He wished he could spend the night here and not go back to that damn cave house.
Countless treasures are piled up in the Jinhua Hall, and they emit various kinds of brilliance under the reflection of the candle mountain.
Liu Che walked in the light and picked up a string of pearl necklaces casually. Each of the pearls on this chain is the size of a dragon's eye. The pink and smooth pearls are round and jade, and the strings together are even more dazzling.
"Women's things are quite attentive. Who dedicated it? ”
Qiandu glanced at the pearl necklace and thought for a moment. There's no way to give too many gifts, even if it's his good memory, you have to think about it.
The minion remembered. It was presented by the Marquis of Jimo. The coral that is three feet tall. It is also the treasure of Jimo Hou. ”
Chidu pointed to the huge coral in the center, God knows how many people would have died to get this thing out of the water entirely.
"That is, Mohou is really stammering, it seems that this time he has also made a bloody investment." Liu Che glanced at the coral and said intentionally or unintentionally.
"陛xià. Jimohou trafficked spices, and also peddled grilled fish and other seafood specialties. Now Jimo is not a barren place. But it is a famous and wealthy town. I heard that apples in winter are very delicious. Last year, I paid tribute to a few cages, and I tasted it and said it was good. ”
Liu Che remembered that he had indeed praised the sweet and sour fruit. It's not easy to have fresh fruit in winter. In addition to the Yun family, the magnates of Chang'an also had to take this kind of fruit to entertain guests.
"Is there any news from Lintong Hou?"
Liu Che rang out the Yun family. Naturally, I wanted to ask about the news that Yun Xiao had sent back.
"The last time the war report came over, it was said that there was a battle with the Huns. More than 4,000 enemies were annihilated, and the feather forest of the period was very meritorious. Yun Hou also deliberately praised in the recital. ”
Qiandu naturally knew what Liu Che liked to listen to, and threw out the period gate Yulin first. On the day of the big day, the emperor's majesty and the boss's face is what's going on.
"I know that Wei Qing and they can do it, and I really got it right, these sons and daughters are able to fight well in front, and I, the son of heaven, have face. When they come back, I will reward them with a big prize. ”
When it came to the period gate Yulin that he had single-handedly founded, a smile finally appeared on Liu Che's face.
I took a few treasures and played with them, and finally saw a smile on my straight face. He asked questions like a child, and did not stop until he reached the front of a golden house.
This golden house is one zhang long, one wide and one high, and the beds and bedding in the house are complete. It looks like a small bedroom, and the most surprising thing is that the room seems to be made of gold. In the flickering candlelight, shimmering golden light is reflected. It looked so shaky that Liu Che couldn't open his eyes.
"Who paid tribute to this, and actually made a house of gold out of gold." Liu Che said with some shock. The walls of this room are probably a foot thick, and how much gold would have to be spent to build such a structure. When did the Han Empire have such a rich magnate, even the richest Yun family did not have this strength.
"Back to Your Majesty, this is the dedication of Liu An, the king of Huainan. The minions were also shocked when they first saw the golden house, thinking that it was a house made entirely of gold. As a result, Princess Liu Ling, the princess of Huainan who escorted the golden house, told the slaves that the house was made of hardwood. It's just a layer of gold on top of the hardwood, and it doesn't really use much gold to look magnificent. ”
While explaining, Qiandu gently knocked on the wall of the room with his hand, and sure enough, there was a loud sound.
"Oh, I see." Liu Che showed Huo Ran's expression, he also thought that this was the real golden house just now.
"It is said that Liu An, the king of Huainan, is very smart, and I see it today that it is indeed worthy of its reputation. It didn't take much gold to give the most valuable gift. By the way, I have fulfilled my oath, and I will be rewarded for this. Immediately, Huainan was exempted from three years of money and grain, and was appointed to the Huainan Palace. ”
"No"
It seems that Liu Che likes this wedding gift very much, and Huainan is already rich. I'm afraid that three years of money and food can build 100 such houses, and the king of Huainan can be developed this time.
In fact, Liu Che was also annoyed by Gillian, so he was full of praise for this gift. This damn cousin and wife has to fulfill the oath she made back then. Build her a golden house, although there is no need to worship the Huns all these years.
However, the cost of using soldiers is no longer a small amount in successive years, where did Liu Che get the spare money to build a golden house for Gillian. Even if you have money, you have to use it on the cutting edge. Purchase equipment to train sergeants and buy horses. None of this requires a lot of money, and even gold can't be used for it.
Now Liu An has helped Liu Che to block Gillian's mouth, and the golden house is in front of him. Look what else this girl can say. Liu Che patted the golden house proudly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became stronger.
Liu Che walked out of the main hall and went straight to the harem. He wanted to meet Liu An's daughter, and personally announce his reward to her. This is grace, a sign of the emperor's favor. Liu An must be given this honor, who let him give the gift that is most in line with his heart.
The women in the Flying Feather Hall were toasting and frolicking with each other, and these women were having a good time. Not inferior to a man in the slightest, before he got close to the Ten Feet of the Flying Feather Palace, the sound of the wine order had already come out.
Liu Che smiled slightly and strode towards the palace gate. Suddenly, a girl in palace clothes ran out of it, shouting "No, no, no." If you drink it like this, you will drink it to death. ”
The silver bell-like laughter is very good, and it is estimated that it is a foreign female dependent. Because her accent is not like the Guanzhong accent, Liu Che, who doesn't go out often, can't hear where the accent is.
The girl ran anxiously, protecting the wine glass in her hand. While looking back, he was afraid that Nangong, who was in charge of the drinking order behind him, would catch up.
Suddenly, the girl felt like she had bumped into someone. Looking back, I couldn't help but be surprised, the young man in front of him was like a crown of jade, wearing a purple and gold crown and a bright red auspicious dress. Who else can wear this costume in the palace, it can only be the emperor of the Han Dynasty, His Majesty Xià the great Liu Xiaozhu.
The girl was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt on the ground, so nervous that she didn't know what to say.
Liu Che felt a little cold in his chest, and saw that the auspicious clothes had been stained by the fruit brewing in the girl's cup.
At this time, Nangong walked up, and when he saw such an embarrassing scene, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, is it Nangong's." Just now I forced Liu Ling's sister to drink, but this girl fled in a hurry. I don't want to collide with Majesty, have you ever been damaged? ”
One sentence almost didn't crook Liu Che's nose, and he was not muddy. Even such a weak girl can break herself, so what's it? But as soon as he saw Nangong with a wicked smile on his lips, Liu Che knew that this was his sister who was drunk and was making fun of himself. (To be continued......)
