Chapter 173
It is said that when Longyan was angry, the world was turned upside down, and the next morning, Emperor Zhao You directly ordered in front of all civil and military officials that the marriage between Dingyuan Hou's Mansion and Ling Wang's Mansion, Prime Minister's Mansion, and Duke Qin's Mansion was postponed until After the funeral of Zhao Wei, the prince of Yue, is over, another auspicious date will be selected.

In addition, the body of Zhao Wei, the heir of the Yue King, was stored in the royal temple as a resting place, and the Yue King Zhao Qian was called to Beijing to deal with the matter immediately.

Not only that, the emperor also ordered the closure of the West Street Wild Market in the city, and it was not allowed to open without an order. He announced to all parts of the country that anyone who encountered a tiger endangering the place could be caught and killed, and the government also rewarded him with silver.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the emperor even rectified the various drawbacks that appeared in the previous imperial decrees. This time, facing the opposition from the Marquis of Dingyuan, his attitude was also very tough. With drastic reforms, Xu Junze and Longjiawei became his most beneficial helpers and weapons, and all the officials began to really fear the young king.

Although the emperor's prestige and all the officials are afraid, at least the officials don't have to embarrass which marquis' mansion to attend the wedding banquet. For this reason, the day before the wedding, Marquis Wu'an specially asked people to prepare more banquets. The wedding of my son was held in a splendid manner.

On the day of October 26th, in order to wash away the shock brought by various cases in the capital recently, they all wanted to take advantage of happy events to give a rush, so the rare overcrowding in front of the Wu'anhou Mansion came to The crowd attending the wedding banquet smashed through the threshold.

Lin Shuran got up early today and took the thirteen children of Xu's family to Qing Palace first. She was specially invited by Princess Qing to see off her relatives as the wife of Princess Xiqing, and then to attend the wedding banquet in Marquis Wu'an's Mansion.

"Today's bride is so beautiful!" When Lin Shuran arrived at Prince Qing's mansion, Princess Xiqing had already put on her wedding dress and was sitting quietly by the bed waiting for the groom to marry her. Nervous and uneasy, the two slender hands were tightly clasped together.

Princess Qing also looked at her daughter full of emotion, as if she thought of another daughter through the daughter in front of her, tears fell down uncontrollably.

When Lin Shuran saw it, she hurried forward to comfort her and said: "I know that the princess and sister are reluctant to let the princess get married, and the daughter is the heart of the mother, so don't cry on the happy day!"

Crying marriages are not popular in the capital. The more laughter the host family likes when holding wedding events, Princess Qing nodded, quickly wiped off the tears, and said with tears in her smile: "I am happy, my son will be happy in the future." He is a real adult!"

"Mother—" Princess Xiqing's voice was also a little choked up, and there was a lot of confusion and fear in her heart about the future, but when she put on the wedding dress, she vowed to let herself grow up, only in this way can she become a parent and brother rely on.

It didn't take long before the wedding sedan chair arrived at the gate of Prince Qing's Mansion. Although Jiang Jingxu, the son of Marquis of Wu'an, was disabled, today he was not afraid of the world's eyes, and came to marry his wife personally wearing a red wedding dress with gold and silver threads in the form of dragon and phoenix. For the bride, even the wheelchair he is sitting in today is made of high-quality rosewood, and it is carefully carved with flowers, plants, insects and animals representing auspiciousness.

Not only that, every gift sent by the Marquis of Wu'an to welcome relatives is very meticulous and exquisite, even the small tray is carved with beautiful patterns by skilled craftsmen.

This is the first time for Lin Shuran to participate in such a high-end and luxurious wedding banquet in ancient times as a guest. She was the protagonist when such a big wedding banquet was held in the capital last time, but she could only imagine the lively scene outside under the hijab. This time she But you can see it all the way.

Lin Shuran stayed in the room with Princess Xiqing, and someone would inform them of the outside situation at any time. Sometimes they said that the sedan chair of the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion was about to arrive, and sometimes they said that the new son-in-law had just arrived in front of the palace. There is a custom in the Jin Dynasty when newlyweds welcome their relatives, that is, the brothers of the bride can make things difficult for the groom's official.

Today, the young prince Zhao Pei recruited friends Xu Mingchen and Lei Yan as helpers. They set up three levels at the gate of the palace and in the new house where the princess is located.

"Who thought of this?!" Princess Qing was worried that these things would offend her future uncle. After all, Jiang Jingxu had been in poor health, and she might not be able to pass the first test. happiness.

But Lin Shuran thought it was nothing, and said with a smile: "Sister Wangfei, don't worry, it must be those naughty boys who deliberately made things difficult for Prince Wu'an. I just want to take advantage of the festive day to have fun, and I just want to take this opportunity to see the new uncle's temperament."

After Lin Shuran said this, Princess Qing felt that it was very reasonable, but arranged for the maid to go twice more to report the situation outside in time.

Soon a little maid came to report, saying that the prince of Marquis Wu An didn't let others replace him, and he promised to fight in all three stages by himself. In the first stage, the physical strength competition was an arm wrestling. The little prince sent Lei Yan, who had learned martial arts since he was a child. , has always maintained his physical strength, but he did not expect that when he wrestled with Jiang Jingxu, who looked sickly and thin, he was on par. At the last moment, Jiang Jingxu turned the defeat into victory, causing all the people watching to exclaim.

"How is this possible!" Princess Qing, who hadn't seen it with her own eyes, didn't quite believe it. She thought that Lei Yan must have lost on purpose, and even everyone else thought so, but Lin Shuran was hesitant. Shizi is still very powerful.

The second level is a test of wine strength. As long as Jiang Jingxu can finish the ten glasses of wine in front of him, he will pass the level, and if he drinks one less glass, he will lose.

"Isn't this nonsense!" Princess Qing got up and went out to stop her, "I heard that the son is not in good health, and the sick and weak are most forbidden to drink alcohol. Brother Pei, isn't this deliberately embarrassing others? Don't let this child disturb the happy event. Already!"

At this time, Princess Xiqing, who was sitting on the bed, felt tense, how could the younger brother come up with such a trick to embarrass the groom? !
Lin Shuran also found it strange, so she went out with the anxious Princess Qing to see what was going on, and saw that the people in the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion became a little dissatisfied, saying that the people in the Prince Qing's Mansion deliberately made things difficult for their family's heir, knowing that his family's heir was drinking Not allowed to drink, hoping to be replaced by others, but the little prince Zhao Pei said just now that Jiang Jingxu had promised to pass the test himself, and he could not be replaced unless he surrendered.
