After the court meeting was rewarded, people from the Ministry of Rites began to come to the door to prepare for Xiao Ming's wedding.
And Xiao Ming took advantage of this time to visit relatives and friends to strengthen the relationship with the courtiers, of course, the most important relationship is Luo Quan, Du Boyuan, Qin Rui, Zhu Yushu and others.
After all, this is his team in Chang'an, and these days, they have been shielding themselves from the wind and rain in Chang'an.
Especially during the search of the East Palace this time, Du Yu deliberately took the initiative to search the East Palace, because he understood that it was inconvenient for Xiao Ming to make this request.
And what he put forward seemed to be a matter of course, of course, this was also known by Xiao Mingyu and Du Boyuan and others when they came out to play.
In addition to these old friends, there is also a difference that there is always a lot of traffic in front of his palace now.
Some businessmen who wanted to go to Qingzhou to do business came to visit Xiao Ming, hoping to enter the chamber of commerce smoothly, while more came to Chang'an's magnates and officials.
These officials, from the princes and nobles to the ordinary officials, all had generous gifts and wanted to be familiar with each other in front of Xiao Ming.
In the past, this kind of treatment was only enjoyed by several other princes, but now he has finally experienced it, which is enough to see the change in his current status.
The days are passing day by day, and when entertaining all kinds of people, Xiao Ming is also busy with the marriage.
This time, his and Fei Yue'er's wedding was set on the 16th of the month, and it is said that this day is an auspicious day.
According to the rules of the Great Yu Kingdom, before getting married, the emperor also needs to give gifts to the princess's family, and at the same time, a wedding banquet must be held at the princess's house.
The Ministry of Rites prepared 50 tables for a banquet as usual, and set up a banquet at the princess's house to celebrate, and set up a band.
All the dukes, ministers, guards, and officials and wives of the second rank and above who were not in class gathered at the princess's house to attend the banquet that day.
After the wedding banquet, the next day was the day of Xiao Ming's wedding, which was the wedding of the Great Yu Kingdom.
Early that morning, Fiji sent someone to deliver the dowry to the palace.
And Xiao Ming went to the palace in the royal python robe used for marriage.
At this time, Xiao Wenxuan, Empress Zhao and Concubine Zhen were already waiting for him in Bishui Pavilion.
"Xiao Ming, see Father, Queen, Mother."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Ming bent his knees and bowed three times and nine bows, which is equivalent to kneeling and worshipping the high hall in the people.
Empress Zhao is very happy these days, she has worked a lot on Xiao Ming's marriage, and at the time of the wedding, she also gave Fei Yue'er a lot of gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin.
Xiao Ming saw these rewards in his eyes, he naturally knew Queen Zhao's thoughts, now that the princes have made a name for themselves, the position of the prince is stable, and now he and Xiao Ming have eased their relations, and in the future, the prince will ascend the throne, and Xiao Ming can also guard the frontier for the prince.
"King Qi is exempt, today is the day of your wedding, and now the whole palace is celebrating, this palace has not been so lively for many years, and this palace is stained with your joy." Empress Zhao pursed her lips and smiled.
Xiao Wenxuan is also happy, he has never been so relaxed today for more than ten years.
Since Xiao Ming repelled the barbarians and guarded the Shanhai Pass, he obviously felt that the ministers in the court were a lot more honest, although there were still continuous party disputes, but not many people mentioned the matter of paying tribute and making peace with him, and they were also afraid of him.
He knew very well that there was no threat from the barbarians in the north, and Xiao Ming would be able to free up his hands to clean them up and the masters behind them, because they were also cautious.
And more yes, Xiao Ming has now become the Dingguo Divine Needle of the Great Yu Kingdom, and no one wants to touch this brow anymore, so the voices of Fiji in the court, Luo Quan and others are getting higher and higher.
"The queen is right, today is your day of great joy, not only the queen, but I also got your joy, calm down, you have a lot of things to do today."
Xiao Ming answered yes and slowly stood up.
He has always disliked cumbersomeness, but this ancient wedding is the most tedious thing.
Xiao Wenxuan and Empress Zhao were beaming, but Concubine Zhen wiped her tears from time to time.
Seeing this, Xiao Ming persuaded: "Mother, today is a happy day for children, why do you always cry." ā
"Mother is happy, from today on, you are really married, in the future, you have to manage carefully, and come to Chang'an to see if you have time." Concubine Zhen said.
Xiao Ming nodded when he heard this, if he said that who had the most feelings for him in this Great Chongqing Country, it would be Concubine Zhen, so when he saw Concubine Zhen crying sadly, he was also panicked.
After kneeling and bowing, the inner prison below is about to marry Fei Yue'er.
At this time, Luan Yiwei had already prepared an eight-lift colored sedan chair surrounded by red satin, ready to marry the newlyweds.
When the auspicious time came, Luan Yiwei carried the sedan chair out of the palace and went straight to the Fei Mansion.
And Xiao Ming went straight back to the palace and waited for Luan Yiwei to send Fei Yue'er over.
"Your Highness, congratulations!"
On the day of the wedding, the magnates and high-ranking officials of the entire Chang'an arrived at the palace, and they prepared wedding gifts and came to congratulate them.
"Thank you, thank you." Xiao Ming said to Luo Quan, and then there were Luo Hong, Du Yu, Yu Ming, Chao Jun and other officials.
"Virtuous nephew, Uncle Wang has prepared a big gift for you today, the gold, silver and jewelry are worth 200,000 taels." , King Yong and King Wei came together, and their gifts were pulled in carriages.
King Wei also said: "Congratulations on the wedding of the virtuous nephew, and a special gift of 300,000 taels." ā
At this moment, Xiao Ming grinned, he realized what wedding money is this time, if he had a few more weddings, he wouldn't have to worry about running out of money to spend.
"Thank you Uncle Huang, thank you Uncle Huang, please inside, please inside."
King Wei and King Yong arched their hands and entered together.
Then several carriages stopped outside the door, and the servants who came shouted: "The king of Runan congratulates His Royal Highness the King of Qi on his wedding, and specially presents a pair of jade ruyi, a pair of pearl treasure hairpins, and ten thousand taels of gold." ā
"The King of Chu congratulates His Royal Highness the King of Qi on his wedding......"
"King Huainan congratulates His Royal Highness King Qi on his wedding......"
āā¦ā¦ā
After reading out the congratulatory gifts, Xiao Ming became more and more happy, and this trip to Chang'an seemed to be worth it.
At this time, the internal supervisor had already placed the sedan chair in the middle hall of Fei's mansion, and Fei Yue'er walked out of the incense pavilion in a red dress.
With the support of the maid, he slowly got up and down the sedan chair and got under the curtain.
Fiji stood outside the door, also constantly greeting the officials who came to congratulate him, and he had a big smile on his face.
The number of officials who came this time was even more than when his eldest daughter married the crown prince, which made him have a bright face.
The auspicious time has arrived, and the sedan chair driver gets up at this time.
carried Fei Yue'er to Xiao Ming's palace, and Fei Yue'er was already crying in the sedan chair.
This time she said goodbye, I don't know when and what month I can get together with my family again, and I am married in Qingzhou, and I don't have any relatives by my side, so she is naturally uncomfortable.
And although King Qi is famous, she doesn't know what to do, and she can't help but be afraid.
