The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 107 The wedding is imminent
At this moment, Zhao Xu was thinking in his heart that this was too against the sky. He thought he had just picked up a big guy, but he didn't expect that he was a peerless famous general. His luck really didn't matter.

Zhao Xu asked Dong Zhenhai to accompany Hu Yanzan to see the imperial physician, but the boy was unwilling, so he walked over mumbling.When Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Xu were about to return to the harem, Zhang Dejun ran over in a panic.

"Why is Zhang Dejun so flustered? He has no rules at all. What's the matter?" Zhao Kuangyin looked displeased.

"The emperor is not well. The strange thing brought by the crown prince kicked and injured many guards. Even the horses were killed by it. The guards dare not move forward." The mount was placed outside, and it was forgotten for a while.

But this is the crown prince's mount. Everyone saw the crown prince riding it into the city. Although it looked weird, everyone thought it was the crown prince's horse that he found as his mount, so they took it for granted. .

But Zhao Xu went in, but this thing didn't go in. Of course, someone would take care of it. There is no horse breeding institution here, but there are no horse raising officials. In the palace, there are only special eunuchs who take care of it.

But when they prepared to get this four-faced animal to the royal stable for temporary feeding, but the unknown animal obediently followed them into the royal stable.

But when they were about to feed it, this guy suddenly changed his temperament, and kept calling the little eunuchs who were in charge of feeding the royal horses. What was even more surprising was that this guy stretched out his mouth and killed several royal horses that were close to him.

Everyone had nothing to do with him, their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen. In desperation, they had no choice but to report to Zhang Dejun, the chief manager of the university. When Zhang Dejun received the report, he scolded them for being absurd, how could such a thing happen.

However, when he went to see it, he was almost kicked, and after it tore a horse to death in front of Zhang Dejun, Zhang Dejun was also terrified.If it was an ordinary animal, Zhang Dejun would have let the guards shoot him to death with random arrows, but he really didn't dare if it belonged to the prince.

"The bold slave is talking nonsense. It's not a lion or a tiger. How could it kill a royal horse? What a slave, let me see..." Zhao Kuangyin stopped before he could finish speaking.At the same time, he held his forehead with his hand, how could he forget this thing, comforted Zhao Kuangyin, and hurried to the place where the royal horses were fed.

When Zhao Xu arrived, this guy was still running around, and no one around him dared to step forward, but what surprised him was that this guy seemed to have grown taller, and now he had a pony-like body. size up.

After seeing Zhao Xu coming, he ran over like a fan, rubbing his whole body against Zhao Xu in a gesture of intimacy.

"Why are you so naughty and kick the person who gave you food, let's see who will dare to give you food in the future. You idiot, well, I will call you an idiot from now on."

"Why are you still not convinced? Let me call you an idiot." Hearing Zhao Xu call it an idiot, this guy turned his big head aside willfully, as if to protest.But Zhao Xu ignored him.

"You guys should tidy up here. Well, these killed royal horses will be sent to the imperial dining room, and let the imperial chef cook a big meal. You guys should try something new. By the way, leave it to this idiot. One serving, it eats meat, and feed it a small amount of meat and wine each time."

Zhao Xu's words stunned all the young eunuchs present. It eats meat, no wonder it is so cruel. It must be careful and responsible in the future. I really don't know if it will... Some people feel chills on their necks thinking of this.

"Let the imperial doctor take a good look at the injured ones of you. As for the idiot, you don't need to pay attention to it. It will be honest in the future, so don't be afraid. The idiot will be honest in the future, otherwise..."

Otherwise, Zhao Xu really didn't know what to do, but it seemed that his threat had worked, and the idiot nodded.This matter is over soon, and this matter has become a topic of discussion for everyone after dinner.

On this day, Empress Dowager Du Kuangyin and others gathered together for dinner. To be honest, since Zhao Kuangyin became the emperor, the family seldom gathered together, so it was very happy for everyone to be together freely.

After finishing the meal, the empress dowager, who was already a little old, said to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, Xu'er is nineteen."

Zhao Kuangyin didn't know what his mother meant, but he nodded honestly: "Yes, Xu'er is already nineteen, what's the matter, mother?"

"I think when you were 19, Xu'er was already able to run away. Now is it time to marry Xu'er, besides, he is still the prince of Song Dynasty, the future heir, so it's impossible to have no heirs."

The old lady was right. According to normal people, a man of Zhao Xu's age would have several children, but luckily he wasn't married yet.

"What you said is that you have been thinking about it for the past few days, and wait for Fu Yanqing's daughter to come and hold the wedding together. In this way, Xu'er will go to three concubines at once. This way is very beneficial to our Zhao family heirs."

"Is Fu Yanqing that Wei Wang Fu Yanqing? Aren't his two daughters concubines of the former Emperor Taizong?"

"The mother is him. He has been in Bianjing for a long time. He also has a young daughter who is naturally beautiful. The former fan child has sent Tao Gu, the Minister of Rites, to ask him to marry him. He also agreed, but the day will be delayed. Last one."

"Why do we have to wait, but Xu'er is already nineteen, and is almost twenty. Aijia asked the Sitianjian that it will be an auspicious day in five days. The emperor doesn't need to say any more. Now I am not a queen mother, but If you, as a grandmother, set up this marriage for your grandson, you, a father, will not object."

The old lady has said this, what else can Zhao Kuangyin say, but she has no choice but to agree, and her mother herself cannot violate it.

"I think Xu'er will marry Gui Ying and Ling'er five days later. They are both pre-ordered. Let the Ministry of Rites handle this matter. The marriage of the prince of the Song Dynasty is naturally not sloppy. Besides, Xu'er is still us. The first prince of the Song Dynasty naturally has a different meaning, so you can figure it out, Your Majesty."

The old lady beckoned and asked a girl who looked like a little maid beside her to help her go back, only to see that the little girl was blushing, she was Wang Linger, and of course she was a little embarrassed to hear the emperor and the queen mother talking about their marriage.

Zhao Kuangyin had no choice but to follow suit, but in the end he still had to communicate with Fu Yanqing, the old man was too good at doing things.

"Chen Fu Yanqing pays homage to the emperor, long live my emperor!"

"Ah, Zhang Dejun quickly flattened his body, Zhang Dejun moved a good soft stool for Guo Zhang to sit on. Hurry up."

The head of the country is the emperor's father-in-law, and this Fu Yanqing was Chai Rong's father-in-law, so it is normal to call him the head of the country.

"Your Majesty, don't call the old minister the head of the country anymore. Now that the Song Dynasty is in the world, the Holy Son of Heaven is above. I really dare not call the old minister the head of the country. Please take back this title."

After Zhao Kuangyin sat down, Zhao Kuangyin began to smile and said:

"The head of the country is being polite. It is an act of the heaven and the people that my Great Song Dynasty succeeded the Great Zhou Dynasty. Since it is inherited from the previous dynasty, it is better to retain the title of the head of the country."

Seeing that Fu Yanqing was about to get up again, he quickly stopped him:

"Guo Zhang just sit down and answer. I called you here today to ask you, is there still no news about Ling Ai?"

"Your Majesty, this is my fault. At the beginning, the little girl agreed to marry the prince, and said it was her good fortune, but when she came to Bianjing, she changed her mind and disappeared suddenly. My minister..."

In fact, Fu Yanqing didn't know what the hell was going on with her daughter. Ever since we met in Kaifeng, this girl had become very weird. She locked herself in the room every day, sometimes holding a jade pendant in her hand in a daze.

Every day is quiet and quiet, completely different from the usual style, which made Fu Yanqing very uncomfortable, but Tao Gu, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, wanted to talk about the prince's wedding, and Fu Xuetong left after that night , I can't find her anyway.

Recently, Zhao Kuangyin sent people to ask about the situation of this girl from time to time, which annoyed Fu Yanqing very much, he couldn't offend the emperor.For a while, Fu Yanqing didn't know what to say.

"Master, I have no other choice now. The Empress Dowager has issued a decree to marry the prince five days later. Originally, I planned to let Ling Ai marry the prince this time, but it didn't happen... Sigh."

"Your Majesty, it's the old minister's fault. It's because my daughter is not so lucky." Fu Yanqing said the truth. He originally wanted to take this opportunity to get involved with the new dynasty, but he didn't think of this girl.

"Master please hurry up, I said you don't need to perform such a big ceremony, and you don't need to do such a big ceremony when you meet me in private in the future, I promise you that Ling Ai will always be my daughter-in-law of the Zhao family. If that's the case, when will she come back?" Let's talk about it, so you can live in the palace now, and make plans after the prince gets married."

Zhao Kuangyin returned to the palace under the respectful escort of Fu Yanqing.In the palace, Zhao Xu was chatting with the queen mother, and in his arms was the little Zhao Dezhao who could already speak, and the little guy was laughing happily all the time.

"Mother, look how cute this little guy is." In private, the family members still call them ordinary
"You're getting married soon. You should get married at this age. I've already discussed with your father. You're going to get married in five days. You should also prepare for it!"

"That grandma, why don't you discuss it with me." He handed his younger brother to his mother and scratched his head with his hands.

"What do you say, since ancient times, the parents have been the masters of marriage, and your grandma is doing it for your own good. Besides, Gui Ying and Ling'er are not young, so I'm still in a hurry to have a grandson? Isn't it, Ling'er?"

He Shi took over the conversation and teased the little girl Ling'er by the way.
