Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 463 The Big Wedding
The battle for the reserve position is pending, and the competition among Gao Cheng's sons will not stop.

During Xiao Gao's southern tour, he often fought and stumbled with each other, but now Gao Cheng returned to the court and watched them participate in the pre-war preparations in Shangshu Province. Among brothers, no one dared to hold each other back. Diligent, hard-working, healthy competition.

The old father felt very relieved, and did not pursue the little mistake they made when he left Luoyang.

In the spring of the eighth year of Zhaode (555), the north was Qingping, and all parts of the country were busy with spring plowing, and the south was also actively preparing for war after spring plowing.

In Luoyang City, after the 15-year-old Zhao Wang Gao Xiaowan got married, the 14-year-old Lu Wang Gao Xiaoguan also planned to move out of Miyagi and marry the daughter of the Xiao family.

"Gu'er, are you satisfied with the marriage that my father chose for you?"

In the Mingguang Palace, Cui Che sat on the imperial steps without the majesty of an emperor, next to his fourth son Gao Xiaoguan.

"The child is so grateful to be married by the emperor's father."

Gao Cheng pretended to be displeased and said:
"As a father, I'm asking you, have you met Xiao's daughter, do you still like it?"

"The daughter of the Xiao family is beautiful and intelligent, and she is gentle and gentle. Children will certainly like it."

Gao Xiaoguan didn't show any shyness, and answered truthfully.

Hearing this, Gao Cheng laughed heartily and said:
"It's so good. When you get married, I will give you a big gift for my father."

"Boy, thank you father for the reward."

Gao Xiaoguan was not surprised. The other three elder brothers also received congratulatory gifts from their father when they got married.

When every prince or princess gets married, Gao Cheng always bestows a lot of property. Although the ostentation is not comparable to the scale when he married Yuan Zhonghua as the heir son of Bohai King, the congratulatory gifts from all officials always piled up several rooms.

March [-] is suitable for marriage.

Gao Xiaoguan searched all over Prince Lu's mansion, but he still couldn't find his biological mother, Mrs. Cui.

"How can a living person disappear!"

Gao Xiaoguan shouted angrily at the head of the guard, Gao Xun.

Letting his mother witness his marriage with his own eyes is what Gao Xiaoguan misses most these days, but he never thought of the day, but he can't find anyone.

After being reprimanded, Gao Xun did not dare to tell the truth, so he had to bow his head and let Gao Xiaoguan scold him.

"Your Highness, the Holy Majesty is coming soon, please go out to greet him quickly."

The confidant steward outside the house reminded.

Gao Xun let out a long sigh of relief, and was finally relieved.

Before Gao Xiaoguan went out, he gritted his teeth with Gao Xun and said:
"Live to see people, die to see corpses!"

Outside Prince Lu's mansion, Gao Xiaoguan and a group of officials who came to congratulate looked towards the direction of Miyagi. Sure enough, a car of the emperor came soon, accompanied by a load of congratulatory gifts that could not be seen.

The carriage stopped in front of Prince Lu's mansion, Gao Cheng opened the curtain and walked out, but unexpectedly he was not alone, there was a woman behind him.

"Gu'er, come here!"

Gao Cheng called out to the stunned Gao Xiaoguan.

Hearing his father's shout, Gao Xiaoguan came back to his senses, he suppressed the joy in his heart and walked closer.

"You have lost kindness since you were young, and you have been busy with military affairs for your father, and you have had a lot of troubles. Thanks to Mrs. Cui's careful care, I have the good prince I am today. Now Mrs. Cui has been named one of the 27 wives. You must not forget her The grace of upbringing must be given by the mother."

The concubines in the harem have their own ranks, and the 27 concubines are second only to the queen, wife, and concubines, and are above the 81 concubines.

While Gao Cheng was speaking, he felt that Cui's hand was obviously tightening a lot, and it was obvious that he couldn't hold back his excitement.

Not to mention the Cui family, even Gao Xiaoguan was moved. No wonder no trace of his mother was found after searching the mansion for a long time. It must be that his father had explained in advance and wanted to give himself a surprise, so everyone kept silent.

He never expected that the great gifts his father mentioned were not just silk and property, but that he could serve his mother dignifiedly in front of others.

"The child respects the teachings of the father."

Gao Xiaoguan bowed to thank Gao Cheng, and bowed solemnly to Cui Shi:

"The kindness in the past, I dare not forget, I am willing to obey my father's order, and serve as my mother from now on."

Cui suppressed tears and said:
"Good! Good! Get up quickly."

Among the onlookers, some thought that this was not a proper act, and were about to advise him, but were stopped by friends who were familiar with his temperament.

"King Lu is getting married today, don't offend His Majesty!"

The friend tugged on his sleeve and said in a low voice.

The upright official of the Ministry of Rites did not accept this kindness, and insisted on persuading him.

Forced friends to tell the truth:

"Don't mess around, then Cui Shi is clearly the birth mother of King Lu!"

The official from the Ministry of Rites looked at his friend in astonishment, and then asked him to explain to himself what was going on.

It turned out that his friend became an official of Bohai County more than 20 years ago, and the prefect of Bohai County at that time was Yuen Long, the deposed emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Naturally, he had met Yuen Long's wife and recognized Cui at a glance.

But in the early years, there was news from Yaoguang Temple that Cui Shi died of illness, presumably it was the emperor who let her escape.

Until now, I finally know why King Lu's birth mother's name is not recorded in any way, and there is no posthumous title, only that she is a maid in Qi Wang's mansion.

Where did the maidservant of Prince Qi's mansion come from? She is clearly the queen of Yaoguang Temple.

In fact, many people present recognized Mrs. Cui, but no one dared to say a word.

At that time, Gao Cheng was still the king of Qi, so he naturally didn't want people to know the truth about Yaoguang Temple, after all he was still a courtier of Yuan and Wei dynasties, how could he insult the deposed empress and concubines.

Now that he has been in the imperial court for eight years, he has less scruples. Some time ago, he even sent the offender's beautiful family to Yaoguang Temple in a grand manner. Now even Lingnan people know that there is a prostitution temple in Luoyang.

Boxes of rewards were brought in, but what Gao Xiaoguan was most happy about was that his mother finally got a title.

Gao Cheng took Cui Shi back to the palace after drinking and feasting at Prince Lu's mansion.

And Gao Xiaoguan was also drunk, and was escorted to the bridal chamber.

Gao Cheng went to Mrs. Song's bedroom that night. He and Mrs. Cui had no relationship at all. Now Mrs. Cui is over [-] years old and her appearance is aging. Not everyone is like Yuan Mingyue. still.

The only granddaughter was brought to the palace a long time ago, and was raised by her grandmother Song. Gao Cheng teased her for a long time before she was able to rest.

Now the fourth generation of the Gao family only has this granddaughter for the time being, but after a long time, the population will prosper. Jin Wang Gao Xiaozhang's first wife and a concubine have conceived successively, and Qin Wang Gao Xiaoyu's first wife Er Zhumo gave birth to another child. After a daughter, her belly grew bigger again.

Even Gao Xiaowan, who was newly married for only two months, had a pregnant picture of his first wife Xiao Shi.

The sons of Xiao Gaowang are afraid that while they are working hard on government affairs, they are also working hard to make villains after they return to the government. They all plan to have an eldest grandson.

This made Gao Cheng, the father, really worried about their health. When these boys moved to modern society, the oldest Gao Xiaozhang and Gao Xiaoyu were only adults.

On weekdays, there are many tonics given to them, all of which are always prepared by Xiao Gaowang himself.
