Chapter 329
How could Yang Guang not understand Princess Izumo's thoughts? He sighed in his heart. It turns out that a girl is extroverted.
"This is a major event in the court. Jier, you should not take too much care. I have a sense of responsibility." Yang Guang shook his head. The matter involved his own great cause. How could Yang Guang give up because of his daughter's admiration for Chen Pojun?
Empress Xiao looked at Princess Yun, sighed lightly, and gave Yang Guang a look. "It is about rebellion, Your Majesty must be cautious!"
He took Yang Ji'er's hand, Yang Guang patted him a few times, pondered and said, "Okay, I will give Chen Kefu another chance. I will not kill him after Chen Kefu enters the palace tomorrow. As long as he is willing to stay in the capital and assist the court in sending troops to Liaodong and transferring Liaodong troops back to the Central Plains, I can protect him from wealth and honor for a lifetime." Yang Guang decided not to kill Chen Kefu for the time being. At this time, he said it, just to comfort Yang Ji'er. For Yang Guang, a living Chen Kefu is more beneficial than a dead Chen Kefu. Keeping Chen Kefu not only can comfort the Liaodong army, but he also has to make the formula of gunpowder weapons from Chen Kefu's hands.
"Father, is it true?" Yang Jier looked up and looked into Yang Guang's eyes.
"I have a golden word, how can my words not count? Don't worry, as long as Chen Kefu is smart enough, I will not kill him. It's not too early, so you should go back to the palace and sleep early." Yang Guang nodded.
Guiyifang, Liao Duke's Mansion.
It was almost dusk, and it was auspicious time. The main hall of the Liao Duke Mansion had already been laid out. The lobby was covered with gorgeous bos carpets and two rows of soft couches were arranged. There was also a row of soft couches under the huge red double-happy characters on the lobby, which was the location of parents of both men and women.
Chen Kefu's biological mother died early, and his father did not re-string the strings behind him, and Li Yuan's situation was similar, and his wife had died. At this time, Chen Shen and Li Yuan were sitting upright in the upper head.
At this time, the two sides of the lobby were already full of VIPs. Two rows of young women stood on both sides, holding various prescribed items from the church. The emcee looked at the time and sang loudly. "The auspicious time has arrived, so please invite new people!"
Accompanied by four young groomsmen, Luo Lin, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and Li Chengyi, Chen Kefu walked into the lobby in a robe. On his right, Li Xiuning also walked out slowly with the bridesmaids of the four unmarried ladies of Kyoto. At this time, Li Xiuning was wearing a windy glow and a festive red dress. Although there was a red veil on his head, his graceful figure and elegant dignified temperament still surprised all the guests. Especially at this time, his head was full of pearls and jade, and under the translucent red veil, you can clearly see the delicate face inside through the hanging beads. His face was like a peach, his eyes were as lacquered as paint, and his snow-skinned skin and jade skin were particularly charming.
At this time, Fang Xuanling walked to Chen Kefu and whispered a few times in his ear. After hearing this, Chen Kefu just frowned slightly, "Please invite them in!" After that, he stood there to greet him.
The guests in the hall were a little surprised. They didn't know who was here. If they didn't say it late, they could even get Chen Kefu to greet him.
"Xiao Wang is late, please forgive me, Brother Pojun!,. A loud laughter came. More than ten people had already arrived in the lobby. Everyone looked at it and found that the people coming were Liao Wang Yang*, Yu Wenshi, Yu Wenshi and two brothers, and a female relative was the Princess of Nanyang. Behind them, there were several young children of Yu Wenshi and Pei Shi.
Seeing these people coming, all the guests were a little surprised. There are rumors in the capital that Chen Kefu's palace gate was stabbed before, because it was caused by Pei and Yuwen Valve. Everyone was waiting to see how Chen Kefu would retaliate against Yuwen Valve and Pei Valve. Unexpectedly, they would still appear here today.
Chen Kefu remained unchanged when he smiled and greeted him. After saying a few words, Fang Xuanling walked to Chen Kefu's ear and whispered.
Seeing the guests' curious look, Chen Kefu smiled and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince has come here and you have entered the mansion."
Everyone was even more uproared. Unexpectedly, not only the prince came, but even the crown prince came. This was too shameful. Chen Kefu and others hurried to the lobby to greet him.
Crown Prince Yang Gao was wearing a brocade robe in front of him, followed by more than a dozen officials from the foreign palace and several young children from the royal family. He was followed by several Neishi and Shiwei.
"See Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Yang Gao was just an 18-year-old boy. He came to attend the wedding banquet just because he was the subject of the prince's mansion. His purpose was to win over Chen Kefu, the most powerful Chen Kefu, in the dynasty, and hoped to get his support. The officials of the Eastern Palace unanimously agreed that as long as he received Chen Kefu's support, he would not only consolidate the position of the prince, but also cut off the last hope of the Liao king.
"I came here to congratulate Zuo Prime Minister's wedding. You don't have to be too polite, so you must not let me lose my host." Although Yang Gao was young, his words were very mature.
Chen Kefu nodded and asked Yang Gao and the King of Liao to take the seat. The rest of the people were also invited to watch the ceremony. While chatting and laughing, he found that there was a prince and a little eunuch who looked familiar with him, and since he came in, he had been staring at him, which made him feel a little suspicious.
As the two of them crossed, something was suddenly stuffed into their hands. Chen Keqi pinched them with his hands, but found that it was a folded piece of paper, and he couldn't help but feel suspicious.
Before he had time to open and watch, the emcee had already whispered, "It's auspicious time, the newcomer's house is here, and he worships the world!"
Chen Kefu and Li Xiuning walked into the middle of the lobby again, and they bowed to heaven and earth.
"Two visits to the high hall!"
The second thing to pay homage was the two elders in the hall. Prince Yang Gao and Liao Wang Yang Lai also sat in the upper head because of their noble status. When worshiping the high hall, the bride must worship tea. If this cup of tea is toasted, as long as the parents-in-law drinks it, it will be considered that the ceremony of becoming a success. Chen Shen, with a white hair, smiled and took the tea brewed by Li Xiuning and drank it all in one go.
"Honey husband and wife!"
Chen Kefu and Li Xiuning held a red ribbon in their hands. Under the witness of the people in the hall, they turned around and bowed to each other. When the two bent down to worship each other, Chen Kefu clearly saw Li Xiuning's nervous and shy face through the veil, and even heard the nervous breathing sound. Chen Kefu chuckled, leaned forward slightly, and his forehead gently collided on Li Xiuning's phoenix crown.
"Yeah!" With a soft cry, Chen Kefu saw Li Xiuning glaring at him through the pearl curtain, and couldn't help but feel a little funny. It seemed that this wife was not that kind of very old-fashioned person.
"The courtesy is completed, the newcomer is sent to the bridal chamber!"
With the sing of the host, the band at the entrance of the lobby began to play music, and even servants threw bamboo poles that had been prepared into the fire. The sound of Pipi patting sounded, and the wedding was completed.
Thinking of the note, Chen Kefu and the guests in the lobby responded for a while and then went back to the study. As soon as he entered the study, Chen Kefu hurriedly opened the note and took a look. There was a line of beautiful fly-headed small calligraphy on it. "At one update and three o'clock, we will meet outside the back door of the Duke of Liao's mansion!" The signature was the word "ji" and "remember to the previous face. Chen Kefu suddenly remembered that the familiar face was Mingyue, the personal palace maid next to Princess Izumo. Mingyue was dressed in eunuch clothes just now, but when he thought about it, it was Mingyue.
According to the hour, Xu is the first update at night, Hai is the second update at night, Zi is the third update at Zi, Chou is the fourth update at Yin is the fifth update. Xu is from 7:00 to 9:00, and one update is the fifth update at one hour, and one update is the third update at one hour, that is, eight:00 at 8:00. Chen Kefu looked at the time. It was just dark now, at most six o'clock, and there was at least one hour before meeting. Yang Jier was so anxious to see him, so there must be something important and urgent.
"Shubao, bring a few brothers immediately and help me pay attention to the back door. At the first three o'clock, I can help me pick up someone into the mansion." After saying that, Chen Kefu took a silver feather arrow engraved with his name and handed it to him from the quiver pot on the wall.
After the arrangement was made, Chen Kefu returned to the hall and wanted to look for Mingyue directly, but after searching for a while, he couldn't find it. After asking, he found out that Prince Yang Gao had just brought people away after he was finished.
There were people coming to toast everywhere in the hall. After drinking a few drinks, Chen Kefu asked Cheng Yaojin and others to help him block it, and he went back to the new house in the backyard first. Now the east is in a strange shape, and he didn't dare to get drunk at such a moment.
As soon as he stepped into the new house, a maid whispered, "The groom is here!"
Li Xiuning sat on the joyful chuáng, a little nervous and nervous. She agreed with Zhizang's marriage. When she first met Chen Kefu in Liaodong, she had some inexplicable feelings for this man, and even expected that this man would not be ordinary. But she didn't expect that he would be so extraordinary. In just a short time, he had even surpassed her father and became the most powerful person in the Sui Dynasty.
"Groom, the bride has a drink!" said an older woman. After she finished speaking, the two girls walked over with two glasses.
The wine is the last procedure of the wedding. Chen Kefu took a gold scale from the old woman's hand. It was not an ancient ceremony to pick the bride's veil with scales or machine mortises, but a custom that began in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. The richer the more noble the scales in the groom's hand are, the more expensive the scales in the groom. For example, the gold scales in Chen Kefu's hand at this time are not only full of gold, but also inlaid with gems. All the scales are small.
The diamonds are inlaid with diamonds.
The veil was gently lifted up, and only a wind crown full of pearls and jade was left. Under the red candle, the beauty was like a picture.
The wine glass used in Heye is not an ordinary wine glass, but a bitter gourd that is as bitter as bitter melon is cut into two pieces. The two floating handles are connected by red silk threads. The bride and groom hold half of each floating in the new house, filling the wine, and drink half of each one first. Then the two of them hold hands, drink the remaining half after drinking the remaining half, and finally put the pair of scoops under the joy.
Combining wine not only means that the husband and wife are united into one, but also means that they will be together in the future and will never be separated.
The older woman saw the two of them finish drinking wine and said with a smile, "The courtesy is completed, congratulations to the young master and his wife for their happy marriage and long-lasting life!" She smiled and took a purse handed to Chen Kefu and left with a few girls.
Chapter completed!
