On the twenty-first day of the first month, Cheng Yue presented a chapter for the third time, asking Kublai Khan to give Wanze a marriage to himself, and Kublai Khan finally agreed to it, and there was jubilation inside and outside the palace.

Soon after Cheng Yue returned to the house, Chai Chun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, asked to see him. After coming in, he first said hello to Cheng Yue, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the prince for coming to the door, and the lower officials are coming to be happy." ”

Cheng Yue smiled: "We are old acquaintances, there is no need to say polite words, come, sit, tell me what I want to do." ”

Chai Chun said: "The Great Khan said that the prince's military exploits are the best dowry, so it will not embarrass the prince, but there should be a process." The princess's status is precious, and the prince takes care of it. ”

Cheng Yue smiled: "Of course, Wan Ze is the daughter of the Great Khan, and she wants to marry me as the queen, how can I let her be wronged?" Chai-sama just say it. ”

Chai Chun said with a smile: "The Great Khan decreed that the marriage was just the beginning, according to the customs of the Mongolians, the prince still has to ask a matchmaker to bring sugar and tea to the palace to say kiss, because the prince has already made three concerts, so he doesn't need to repeat it, he will agree once." ”

Cheng Yue nodded and said, "Okay, I'll invite Boyan to go." ”

Chai Chun said with a smile: "The prince couldn't be better to find Prime Minister Boyan, Prime Minister Boyan is both civil and military, honest and promising, and the Great Khan is the right man, he is indeed the best candidate." ”

Cheng Yue said: "Then what's next?" ”

Chai Chun said: "There is no need for a blind date, and then it is a fixed marriage." The prince wants to bring Hada, mare's milk wine and sheep five forks to the palace to make a decision, and the palace will give a family banquet, and the marriage will be officially confirmed. ”

Cheng Yue said: "Well, what else?" ”

Chai Chun said with a smile: "Then it's a dowry gift." Hehe, this matter has to be discussed with the prince. ”

Cheng Yue said: "Oh? What to discuss? ”

Chai Chun smiled: "The Mongolians have a rule. The dowry is more generous than the dowry. What does the prince want to send. Please let Miyanaka know in advance. The palace is well prepared. ”

Cheng Yue said with a smile: "The princess is noble, I don't dare to slack off, I have already ordered someone to cast three silver oxes, silver horses, and silver sheep each, and synthesize nine." Plus 900 glass windows, 90,000 catties of refined salt, 900 catties of monosodium glutamate, and 900 quintals of tea, I don't know if it's enough? "The Mongols respect nine. It is best to give a dowry gift in multiples of nine, and if you can't make up it, you should use odd numbers of three, five, and seven, not even numbers.

Chai Chun gasped, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't dare to say anything. Silver aside, each of the other things is very expensive, let's talk about glass windows first, which ordinary people can afford? Not to mention 900 fans! 90,000 catties of refined salt is worth the taxes of the entire Liaodong. 900 catties of monosodium glutamate, there is no market! Da Yuan finally exchanged thousands of good horses from the Southern Song Dynasty for MSG, and there were only so many in total. As for the nine hundred quintals of tea. It has become popular for Mongolian nobles to drink new tea from the Southern Song Dynasty, but it is five times more expensive than old tea! These things. All of them are good goods that the Yuan Dynasty wants, but they add up too richly, how much dowry should be given to King Zhennan in the palace?

Cheng Yue said "honestly and fearfully": "Isn't it too shabby?" I'll add ......"

Chai Chun hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Enough is enough, the prince doesn't have to be so polite, the Great Khan must be very satisfied." ”

Cheng Yue smiled secretly in his heart, this is a dowry, it is clearly a good deal to buy and sell! He deliberately gave so many things, just to cut Kublai Khan.

Chai Chun secretly wiped away the cold sweat and said with a little embarrassment: "After the marriage, you have to choose an auspicious day." This is to be divined by the lama, and the prince must be present in person, and he must salute the lama and ask for auspicious days. ”

Chai Chun thought that Cheng Yue would be unhappy, but Cheng Yue didn't hesitate at all, and said: "Of course I want to go, everything follows the customs of Mongolia." ”

Chai Chun is overjoyed, the biggest obstacle is gone, and the others are not a problem. smiled: "The rest will wait for the day of marriage, and there is no hurry now." ”

The two discussed for a long time, established many details, and did not leave until the evening.

Early the next morning, Cheng Yue rushed to Boyan's house with gifts.

When Boyan heard that Cheng Yue came to ask him to be a matchmaker, he agreed, and entered the palace after receiving the gift in Cheng Yue's hand. Of course, the palace agreed without saying a word, which is considered the words of the matchmaker.

The next day, Cheng Yue prepared Hada, mare's milk wine and sheep five forks, took 200 escorts, and personally drove the carriage to the palace to make a decision.

Normally, there should be relatives of the man, but Cheng Yue is alone, except for a large number of wives and concubines, there are no relatives, which is really pitiful.

In order to welcome Cheng Yue's decision, the palace door was opened. As soon as Cheng Yue got out of the car, the surrounding attendants and guards surrounded him to congratulate, Cheng Yue gave each of them a gold leaf, and when it was finished, everyone in the palace suddenly thundered with joy. Although the king of Zhennan is a little domineering, he is very good to his subordinates.

Cheng Yue walked into the harem, Kublai Khan, Chabi, and Babahan made up their minds to welcome him today, and they were specially dressed up and extremely solemn and luxurious. At this time, seeing Cheng Yue entering the hall alone, the three of them felt great pity in their hearts.

Cheng Yue saluted and said: "Minister Cheng Yue, in order to marry Princess Wanze, I have come to make a decision!" ”

Kublai Khan laughed and said, "What are you anxious about? Boyan just finished mentioning yesterday, and you came to make up your mind today? ”

Cheng Yue smiled and said, "What's the hurry to marry a wife?" This is a serious mind. If you don't marry Wan Ze again, the mother concubine won't let the minister visit Wan Ze again. Great Khan, this is a full man, I don't know how hungry a man is hungry. ”

Kublai Khan laughed, and Babahan also smiled, and glanced at Cheng Yue. Kublai Khan immediately ordered a family banquet to be held in Yanchun Pavilion to entertain Cheng Yue.

The family banquet was supposed to sit on both sides, but Cheng Yue was only one person, so all the princes were arranged to Cheng Yue's side. On the opposite side are the queen and the princess of the first four ears, plus two princesses.

Wan Ze's face was as red as fire, and he was so ashamed that he couldn't raise his head. Nang Jiazhen looked at Cheng Yue with a smile on the side, and they knew each other.

Nuhan and Sa Buyu occasionally staggered their eyes with Cheng Yue, and everything was silent. Only Nan Bi, in the face of Cheng Yue's polite questioning, cherished words like gold, and was reluctant to say more, which was very different from his usual lively and cheerful. However, today is a good day for Cheng Yue and Wan Ze, and Nan Bi does not talk much and does not arouse suspicion.

Tie Michi was only six years old, but he was bent on drinking mare's milk wine. Kublai Khan laughed and didn't care. Nan Bi is far away and can't control it, only Cheng Yue resolutely refuses to allow him to drink.

Cheng Yue unceremoniously grabbed him, pulled off his pants and slapped his little ass a few times, and said: "If you cry again, I won't give you candy, I won't give you good things, and I won't let you go up in a balloon." ”

Tie Xianchi was immediately frightened by Cheng Yue, and sat down to eat honestly. Kublai Khan looked at it with a smile and didn't care.

Nanbi glared at Cheng Yue, and Cheng Yue immediately glared back. Nan Bi bit her lip lightly, very aggrieved, she couldn't tell whether Cheng Yue was deliberately scorning her, and she couldn't say anything.

Because it was a family banquet, Kublai Khan did not let the dancing queen appear, and when the wine was hot, the princes and concubines stood up one by one to sing and dance, and the number of participants immediately increased, and Cheng Yue wanted to dance together, and finally even Kublai Khan and Chabi also came down to dance in person, accompanied by the musician's music, everyone was elated.

Finally, Cheng Yue and Wan Ze's dance together, Cheng Yue's Mongolian dance is a little clumsy, but it is not ugly, Wan Ze is completely intoxicated, especially to be able to dance with Cheng Yue on this occasion, Wan Ze's face is full of envy.

The feast lasted from noon to evening, and Kublai Khan was so happy that he drank too much, and was helped back to rest by Chabi and Nanbi, and the others naturally dispersed.

Cheng Yue took Wan Ze's hand and sent her back, but Babahan didn't follow this time, but only told Wan Ze's personal palace maid not to let Cheng Yue mess around.

Cheng Yue sent Wan Ze to the house, hugged Wan Ze and kissed him for a long time before leaving, he really couldn't help it if he didn't leave.

Walking out of Wanze's princess's mansion, Cheng Yue did not go back, but went to find Nang Jiazhen again.

As soon as Cheng Yue entered the door, many palace maids immediately came up to say goodbye.

Cheng Yue smiled: "Which of you can sing Mongolian songs?" Hands. ”

Six palace maids raised their hands, and Cheng Yue summoned them and said, "You come with me." "Take them straight into the house.

Saga has just washed his face and feet and is ready to sleep. Seeing Cheng Yue suddenly appear, he was so excited that he immediately snorted, and threw himself into Cheng Yue's arms, not caring at all that the palace maid behind was still looking at her.

Nangjiazhen said coquettishly: "Why are you here? If you don't go through the palace gate, it will be bolted. ”

Cheng Yue gently kissed her on the lips and said softly: "Today is the day of marriage, how can I not dance with you?" Let them sing and I'll dance with you, okay? ”

Nang Jiazhen was so surprised that the whole person seemed to be glowing, hugged Cheng Yue tightly, and couldn't help but shed two lines of tears. When Wan Ze danced with Cheng Yue, although she was smiling on her face, she was crying in her heart, and Cheng Yue saw all this.

Cheng Yue patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Who said just now that the palace was going to be latched?" If I don't leave, I'll be arrested. There are still long days to come, and there is time to hold. ”

Nangjiazhen burst into tears and laughed, quickly wiped away his tears and said, "Come on, see how I dance?" ”

The six palace maids were moved to tears by Cheng Yue's carefulness and thoughtfulness, and when they heard this, they hurriedly cleaned up their mood and began to sing with a little crying.

Nang Jiazhen and Cheng Yue danced happily, dancing so devotedly and happily. All the grievances she suffered today disappeared in this dance. At this moment, she is the happiest woman in the world.

After a dance, Cheng Yue hugged Nang Jiazhen and kissed her on the lips a few times, and said, "I'm leaving, I'll come to see you in a few days, remember what I said to you." With that, he walked out the door.

Pearl sat quietly at the door listening to the singing and laughter inside, and suddenly the door opened, and Cheng Yue stepped out of the house.

Without waiting for Pearl to react, Cheng Yue suddenly held up her chin, kissed her on the lips, clapped his hands and smiled: "Well, it's fragrant, haha." "Walk away.

Pearl looked at Cheng Yue's back with teary eyes, and whispered to herself: "You have a conscience." ”

Cheng Yue ran wildly along the road, and finally got out of the palace before the palace gate was bolted, and it was a big crime to be late. (To be continued......)
