Nihuang shook her head and said helplessly, "I dare not, unless I can quickly take down the noble families in the territory, otherwise, they will definitely cooperate with Emperor Liang and destroy our Prince Mu's Palace."

Wang Yue was relieved to see that Nihuang was not carried away, and said, "That's good. I was really worried that you would do something reckless and I would lose you as my helper."

Nihuang looked at Wang Yue seriously and asked curiously, "The soap and perfume you brought out can indeed stabilize the local noble families, but if you want to expand your territory, how will you treat those noble families?"

Wang Yue didn't understand why Nihuang asked this, but he still patiently explained, "It's actually very simple. Just buy their land directly. They have money and can do whatever they want, right?"

Nihuang thought about the prosperous business of Yue State and felt that it was not impossible. She just said with some concern, "It's just that it may not be easy to convince all the noble families to do so. After all, in the eyes of many people, merchants are the lowest class."

Wang Yue certainly understood this, so he said nonchalantly, "They are just hypocrites. Which noble family doesn't do business? They just take the benefits on one hand and belittle on the other, just to mislead the common people."

Nihuang didn't want to continue this topic, but changed the subject and asked abruptly, "When will we do our business?"

Wang Yue was a little confused. He looked at Nihuang and asked, "What do you mean? You are not going to marry Wu Jing?"

Nihuang sighed and said helplessly, "You know my brother's character. Without my support, it would be difficult for him to support Yunnan. So, I think it is more appropriate for us to get married, because you will definitely not stop me from returning to Yunnan."

Wang Yue was no longer a mediocre person, and he immediately understood what Nihuang meant.

If he married Nihuang as Wang Jing, even if they did not sleep in the same bed, it could serve as support in the future.

Moreover, after Nihuang got married, she had to rush back to Yunnan and did not live in Yue State.

Wang Yue originally needed to establish a good relationship with Prince Mu's Mansion, so he did not reject this suggestion and discussed the details of the marriage with Nihuang.

The two agreed to set their wedding date on March 3rd. After the wedding, Nihuang would return directly from Yue Kingdom to Yunnan and would no longer pass through the land of Daliang. It would be best if she appeared a little angry when she left, so that Emperor Liang would think that her plan had succeeded and stabilize him temporarily.

Chapter 113: Interesting things about the wedding!

After the two of them had discussed it, Wang Yue notified the cabinet headed by Chen Qingzhi and asked them to discuss some specific details.

Chen Qingzhi was just thinking that the plot against Xie Yu took too long and that he had no way to keep Xiao Jingrui, but he didn't expect that when he fell asleep, someone would come to bring him a pillow.

He was afraid that Wang Yue would regret it, so he immediately said happily, "Don't worry, I will discuss it with the cabinet and will definitely make this matter a lively one."

After he said that, he left, leaving Wang Yue confused and wondering what he was up to.

A few days later, until the wedding day, Wang Yue finally found out what had happened.

It turned out that Chen Qingzhi gave Xiao Jingrui a reason, that is, Nihuang had no other relatives or friends here, and as an old friend, Xiao Jingrui had to attend the ceremony.

Moreover, Chen Qingzhi also built Plum Blossom Manor at the gate of the courtyard where Princess Nihuang lived and asked Xiao Jingrui to guard it, which could be regarded as an obstacle set up by the woman.

If Wang Yue wants to marry Nihuang, he needs to defeat Xiao Jingrui who is guarding the stake, which will add interest to the wedding.

This reason was so powerful. Xiao Jingrui was at an age where he loved to play, so he was inevitably attracted. He didn't even think about the fact that this would delay his schedule, so he agreed without even thinking about it.

Wang Yue knew about this situation, so he looked at Mu Qing who had hurried over from Jinling, and said helplessly, "Young Prince, isn't this delaying the auspicious time?"

Mu Qing shook his head and said proudly, "It's not that easy to marry my sister. I think Jing Rui did a great job! If you can't get in today, I will take my sister home tomorrow."

Wang Yue was speechless. He was asked to compete on a plum blossom pile with a man who had practiced martial arts since childhood. He didn't know what Chen Qianzhi was doing?

Although he also studied martial arts, the Yan family martial arts focused on horseback skills. Although he also stood in horse stance, he seldom practiced the plum blossom pole.

Wang Yue immediately found Chen Qingzhi and asked in a depressed tone, "Qingzhi, what the hell is wrong with this car?"

Chen Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, then asked uncertainly, "Prince, didn't you say that Emperor Liang had been expecting us to fall out with the Yunnan Palace? Do you have any other reasons besides this?"

Wang Yue's forehead was filled with black lines. It turned out that the misunderstanding was here. Chen Qingzhi's plan was very well arranged. Once the marriage fell through, Xiao Jingrui and the Prince Mu's Mansion would be able to report to Emperor Liang. It didn't have to be as complicated as Wang Yue said.

He knew that Chen Qingzhi had misunderstood, so he whispered to remind him, "The fact that Commander Wang was inhumane had long been known to Emperor Liang, so Emperor Liang was relieved to let Nihuang come."

Chen Qingzhi was stunned after hearing this. He slapped his forehead and said with some resentment, "You should have told me this news earlier. Moreover, you left the marriage arrangements to me and the cabinet. We all thought you wanted us to find a way to prevent this marriage from happening?"

Wang Yue's forehead was filled with black lines. He suddenly felt that he didn't want to mention this matter for Wang Jing's face, but he ended up getting himself into trouble.

However, the wedding still had to take place, and of course it couldn't be arranged according to Chen Qingzhi's plan. If that happened, Princess Nihuang might really lose face.

He rubbed his brows helplessly, and couldn't think of any good solution for a while, so he asked expectantly, "Qingzhi, do you have any good ideas?"

Chen Qingzhi did not have so much psychological pressure. He felt that the worst that could happen was that he would not be able to marry the bride. In fact, the result would be the same.

Even if Princess Nihuang felt embarrassed and the Kingdom of Yue also lost some face, it was not a big deal.

He said innocently, "Your Majesty, what can I do? Unless you tell Xiao Jingrui to let you go, you have to fly over."

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Wang Yue had an idea in his head and his brain started working fast, and he thought of the hot air balloon.

If you make a hot air balloon, you can just fly over there and it won’t be so troublesome.

So he quickly ordered his housekeeper to help the embroiderers and craftsmen to make a big hot air balloon for him overnight according to his request.

The housekeeper listened to Wang Yue's description, and although he didn't know what this thing was used for, he still did as he was told.

Early the next morning, people discovered a strange thing in the new home of the Jinyiwei commander. Everyone was curious about what it was for.

It was just because there was a Jinyiwei guarding the door, so no one could go and check, and could only keep their curiosity in their hearts.

Chen Qingzhi also heard the news and rushed over specially. He didn't understand what this large Kongming lantern was used for and thought that Wang Yue had given up and started tinkering with those messy things again.

He was afraid that Wang Yue would be angry, so he comforted him and said, "Your Highness, I have thought of a way. We can let the brothers of Jinyiwei be the best men you mentioned. Although it is not in line with the rules, we can't care so much. Let's just treat it as our Yue country's custom.

Also, let's find some more people and have them push Xiao Jingrui away from the plum blossom pile, and you can take the opportunity to run to the princess' room. "

Wang Yue knew that this was the safest way, but it was a bit cheating. However, looking at the big hot air balloon that he had made with great difficulty, he still wanted to give it a try.

Although they had never tried this hot air balloon before, he and Nihuang were both skilled in martial arts. If they really encountered danger, they only needed to drop a rope along the hot air balloon, and the two of them could easily slide down by grabbing the rope. When the altitude was lower, they could also fly down directly.

Since he had an idea, he rejected Chen Qingzhi's kindness and said, "Look at this big thing I made. Do you see what words are embroidered on it?"

Chen Qingzhi looked at the Chinese character for "happiness" embroidered on the hot air balloon and asked in confusion, "What is this? A Kongming lantern? Your Majesty, you are not planning to ride this over there, are you?"

Wang Yue didn't expect that Chen Qianzhi would figure it out so quickly. Only then did he realize that Kong Ming had made it as early as the Three Kingdoms period. Although his one was much bigger, its function was the same.

He nodded, pointed at the hanging frame and said, "I will sit in this hanging frame for a while, and when the hot air balloon flies over, I will invite Nihuang to fly back with me in this hot air balloon. What do you think?"

Chen Qingzhi opened his mouth and asked uncertainly, "Prince, are you sure you can make someone fly?"

Wang Yue certainly couldn't guarantee that it would work, after all, no one had done this before, so he could only casually say, "Just give it a try. If there's any danger, I'll throw a rope down. Of course, if my plan fails, don't you have something prepared?"

Chen Qingzhi was persuaded by Wang Yue. He knew that Wang Yue's martial arts skills were very high and it was not an exaggeration to call him the best fighter in Yue State. He knew that Wang Yue could definitely guarantee his safety, so he agreed to Wang Yue's suggestion.

So, under the gaze of Chen Qingzhi, Wang Yue lit the fire inside the hot air balloon, and the top of the hot air balloon slowly became inflated.

As the temperature at the top of the hot air balloon gets higher and higher, the rope of the capsule is pulled straighter.

Wang Yue hurriedly unloaded the sandbags in the cabin, until he unloaded one of them, and the cabin flew up with the hot air balloon.

Wang Yue found that it was rising too fast, so he quickly reduced the size of the upper cover of the furnace, which slowed down the rising speed and even caused it to start falling.

He tried many times, and the hot air balloon rose and fell many times before it gradually stabilized.

After he could barely control the altitude, Wang Yue prepared to go to welcome his bride. However, he suddenly thought of a problem at this moment. If he didn't solve this problem, his plan to welcome his bride would definitely fail.

That is, the hot air balloon can fly, but it is too crudely made and does not fly very high. There is no way to take advantage of the different wind directions at different altitudes to adjust the flight direction.

Chen Qianzhi realized that this thing seemed to be useful in militarily. He was thinking about how to apply it, so he didn't prepare for Wang Yue to suddenly jump down.

Wang Yue didn't care what Chen Qingzhi was thinking. He pointed at the hot air balloon and said depressedly, "Qingzhi, this thing is not easy to control the direction. Do you have any solution?"

Chen Qingzhi suddenly heard Wang Yue's voice and came back to his senses. After confirming the problem, he thought about it carefully and said uncertainly, "Your Majesty, how about holding the rope and pulling it?"

Wang Yue didn't have any good solution for the moment, but he thought this idea seemed good, so he agreed to it and arranged many Jinyiwei to escort him.

Then, a strange scene appeared in the wedding procession. A huge Kongming lantern was hung right above the bridal sedan. On the Kongming lantern was painted a picture of auspicious clouds, which looked very festive.

Xiao Jingrui was standing on the Plum Blossom Manor, hesitating about how many moves to make before letting go, but he didn't expect to see this scene, which made him a little confused.

But thinking of his own mission, he quickly came to the edge of Plum Blossom Manor, bowed to Wang Yue and said, "Commander Wang, it's useless for you to make such a big Kongming lantern to please my sister Nihuang. I'm not the only one guarding the gate of the mansion today. Young Prince Mu has sent all the guards he brought with him. You'd better think of a solution quickly. I won't show mercy."

Wang Yue looked at the burly men behind Xiao Jingrui. If they were fighting on flat ground, he might be able to win, but on the plum blossom pile, he would definitely not get any advantage.

So, he said very straightforwardly, "You forced me to do this. It seems that I can only use this last trick."

Xiao Jingrui was somewhat puzzled. He thought Wang Yue was just speaking harshly, but on such a happy day, he was representing the woman's family, so he could only say without giving her face, "If you have any good tricks, just use them. We'll just watch from here."

Xiao Jingrui said so, and Wang Yue pulled the rope of the dock without hesitation, using his lightness skills to quickly climb up to the cabin of the hot air balloon.

After Wang Yue stood on a high place, a group of Jinyiwei pulled the hot air balloon right above the yard where Nihuang lived.

Wang Yue swung the rope in his hand towards the sycamore tree in the courtyard where Nihuang lived. There was a hook in front of the long rope. Under the huge force of the swing, the rope was immediately wrapped around the sycamore tree.

Wang Yue originally planned to try a few more times, but he didn't expect to be so lucky today. He succeeded in one try, as if it was a special arrangement.

He quickly turned the pulley to secure the hot air balloon to prevent it from sliding away.

Xiao Jingrui and the others were stunned for a long time. They had no idea what Wang Yue was doing. By the time they reacted, Wang Yue had already climbed down the rope to under the paulownia tree.

When Xiao Jingrui saw this, he quickly jumped onto the courtyard wall and angrily said, "Commander Wang, you are too despicable. Where is the martial arts competition we agreed on?"

Wang Yue didn't take it seriously and pretended to be innocent, saying, "Brother Xiao, you can't blame me for this. You have so many people and I can't think of a solution. We can't have the wedding night today.

Besides, you asked me to think of a solution, isn't this the solution I came up with?"

Xiao Jingrui was a little angry. He didn't expect that in the end it would be his fault.

Wang Yue didn't waste any more time talking to Xiao Jingrui and walked to the main hall under the gaze of the maids and old women.

Mu Qing sat there looking at Wang Yue unhappily, but when he saw Wang Yue had already come in, he did not lose his temper on such a happy day.

In fact, he originally wanted to wait for Wang Yue to come in and give him a good scolding, but he had just heard what his sister's personal maid had said, so he didn't deliberately make things difficult for him.

However, he was not feeling well psychologically, so he asked unhappily, "You came here by crooked means, so what are you going to do when you get out? Are you going to ask my sister to make the hanging basket with you? But what about my sister's dowry?"

Wang Yue nodded and said seriously, "That's called a hot air balloon. I plan to invite your sister to fly home with me. As for the dowry, of course it will be placed in the hot air balloon."

This caught Mu Qing's attention, and he asked curiously, "Can this thing hold so many things?"

Wang Yue saw that Mu Qing didn't believe him, so he smiled and said, "Why don't we try it later? If we can't finish it in one trip, we can make two more trips."

Seeing Wang Yue's confident look, Mu Qing didn't say much and just watched what Wang Yue did.

In just a short while, a Jinyiwei had climbed onto the hot air balloon. With the cooperation of other Jinyiwei, he turned down the fire inside and let the hot air balloon descend to land in the empty garden.

A dozen Jinyiwei saw the hot air balloon coming down, and they took out the sandbags inside, and put some dowry that Nihuang had just bought in.

Just at this time, Mu Qing had already walked out with Nihuang, and Wang Yue led the two to the hot air balloon.

Nihuang was not as delicate and reserved as other married women. She easily flew onto the gondola and sat down on a chair beside the stove in the gondola. Then she asked curiously, "Can this thing really fly with such a heavy object?"

Wang Yue sat down on the other side of the stove. Under the gaze of Neon, he turned on the fire in the pendant. Soon the huge hot air balloon inflated again and slowly rose from the garden of the mansion.

Mu Qing had come up here to see his sister off, and now he didn't want to get off, but he knew it wasn't appropriate for him to be on top at this time, so he could only prepare to flip down while saying, "Brother-in-law, lend me this thing to play with some other day."

Wang Yue was a little amused and helpless. He didn't expect that Nihuang didn't tell Mu Qing at all. This was just a scam. He could only agree to this cheap brother-in-law.

Nihuang did not stop her brother's request. She waited until the hanging frame flew into the air before she asked in confusion, "This thing must be the secret weapon of the Yue Kingdom. Why are you just taking it out and showing it to me so casually?"

Wang Yue sighed. Of course he couldn't say it. He just remembered it, so he pretended to be helpless and said, "What's the matter? Since we are going to help each other, I have to be sincere, right? What do you think? You see my sincerity, right?"

Nihuang actually believed it, but did not continue the conversation. She just thought of a legend about Wang Yue a few years ago.

Although she knew it was unlikely, she still couldn't help but hope that the legend was true.

Wang Yue didn't know what Nihuang was thinking. Seeing that Nihuang didn't say anything, he also turned the pulley and used the rope that had been fixed in advance at his mansion to pull the basket away.

Xiao Jingrui was speechless when he saw Wang Yue leave like that, but he and Mu Qing thought the same thing and they both thought it was quite interesting.

Just at this moment he saw Mu Qing walking out of the yard, so he hurried over, ready to wait for Wang Yue to adjust her positions so that he could follow her to play for a while.

So, Wang Yue and Nihuang came home and got off the hot air balloon. Mu Qing and Xiao Jingrui, who came on horseback, rushed to climb up.

After Wang Yue's repeated warnings, the two of them impatiently went out to play with the hot air balloon.

The trajectory of their two activities was not as monotonous as Wang Yue's, which was just to welcome the bride. It attracted the attention of people all over the city and even drew many people's attention away from the wedding.

Because many people ran away, many people's minds also flew away. No one made a fuss about forcing Wang Yue to drink, and no one made a fuss in the bridal chamber. Wang Yue walked around the banquet and then returned to the bridal chamber.

Nihuang was sitting at the head of the bed, having taken off her veil herself. She was not surprised at all when she saw Wang Yue coming in at this time.

After all, something as novel as a hot air balloon is something that everyone is very curious about. Even her own brother ran away. It would be strange if other people could pay attention to his wedding.

Moreover, Nihuang was inexplicably a little nervous. In order not to be discovered by Wang Yue, she pretended to be calm and asked, "How are you going to sleep today?"

Wang Yueke had no idea what Nihuang was thinking. Seeing that Nihuang had lifted her veil herself, he thought that she did not take this marriage seriously.

Although he was somewhat disappointed, he still pointed to a closet in the room and said with a smile, "That closet leads to my palace. If the princess wants to rest, I will go back through this secret compartment."

Nihuang looked at the cabinet and felt relieved, but also a little disappointed, a feeling she couldn't understand.
