Chen Shimei came hand in hand with the princess and said that she wanted to represent the Queen Mother. Everyone was a little surprised.
Princess Zhaoyang smiled and said: "Uncle Zhongjing, congratulations on your wedding."
As she spoke, she asked her servant to bring over a delicate wooden box, opened it carefully and said:
"This is a golden and jade tree with two wings and branches. The queen mother specially gave it to you newlyweds."
I saw a foot-high exquisite jade carving of a swallow, bird and jade tree placed in those boxes, lifelike.
Princess Zhaoyang said with some envy:
"This is my mother's favorite thing. When I got married, she was not willing to give it to me."
Chen Shimei gritted her teeth and added:
"Uncle Zhongjing, this treasure is worth at least 200,000 yuan."
If the Queen Mother hadn't named it as a gift to Cao Bin, he would have wanted to take this treasure.
Princess Zhaoyang rolled her eyes at him and said:
"This is a rare treasure. It has a price but no market. How can it be measured in money?"
When everyone heard this, they were amazed and looked at Cao Bin differently.
Two hundred thousand dollars is not a small amount.
Even Princess Zhaoyang didn't understand why the Queen Mother was so kind to Cao Bin.
Cao Bin understood what was going on.
Empress Dowager Liu should be compensating for the "Imperial Pardon" for letting her own pigeons go.
Lest he have a grudge in his heart and reveal something to her in a fit of anger.
In the guest room, Gao Qian's companion felt a little frightened when he saw this situation, and asked carefully:
"Queen Dowager Cao Bin thinks highly of her and sends such an expensive gift. Should we still make trouble?"
Gao Qian also had a bit of liver tremor, and he suppressed his timidity and analyzed:
"It should be fine. The Queen Mother has lived in the palace for a long time and has ignored foreign affairs for more than ten years."
"Even if she loves Cao Bin, she won't interfere in such a trivial matter..."
After hearing what he said, those companions breathed a sigh of relief, patted their chests and said:
"That's good, that's good. It scares us to death. We were quite worried just now."
Seeing how careless they were, Gao Qian was a little speechless.
At this moment, Uncle Fu hurried in and said excitedly:
"Master, His Majesty is coming to the Marquis Mansion, go and greet him quickly!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Gao Qian's companion trembled in fright and hurriedly said: "Brother, what should we do? Should we still make a fuss?"
Gao Qian turned pale, jumped up, slapped him, and cursed:
"What a mess, of course I'm going to meet the driver, let's go!"
"Remember, we are here to attend the wedding banquet, not to cause trouble to Uncle Cao, do you hear me?"
Hearing this, several people nodded wildly and no longer dared to mention the matter of marriage.
Before anyone could greet him, the emperor had already walked in with a few of his ministers, smiling.
Seeing everyone saluting, he waved his hands and said:
"No need to be polite, gentlemen, I am also here to attend Uncle Zhongjing's wedding banquet."
This time even Pan Renmei was surprised.
He knew that Cao Bin had received divine favor, but he did not expect that it would go so far as to ask the emperor to leave the palace in person and attend the wedding banquet.
what is this? Jane in the emperor's heart is no longer enough to describe.
Thinking of this, his importance to Cao Bin rose to a higher level.
The emperor sat on an armchair, looked around, and joked:
"I came out in a hurry today and didn't bring any gifts."
"Why don't you give Cao Bin a first-level title to show your kindness?"
When everyone heard this, they were stunned. This dynasty holds a very important title. Can the title be obtained in this way? Isn't it too easy?
Gao Qian was so jealous that his eyes turned red.
All the generals who had committed the crime were demoted to three ranks, and he felt a little relieved that at least he was not the only one unlucky.
But now, he found that he was a little wrong.
My own title seems a little different from others.
To raise your own title, you have to go through life and death, which is extremely difficult.
This title can be upgraded once you get married. Is this so unfair?
To his relief, the admonishment officer behind the emperor had already stepped forward to admonish him:
"The honorary title is an important weapon of the country. Non-military merit should not be awarded lightly. I ask the officials to take it back."
The emperor glanced at him and said with a smile: "In that case, let me record this title."
As he spoke, he said to everyone present:
"The imperial court plans to recruit 15,000 new soldiers in the capital, and then select three good generals for training."
"The success or failure of the training of this unit of soldiers is related to the future military system and is the top priority."
"At the end of the year, the military competition will be held, and the person who wins the first place will be awarded a second-class knight."
He looked at the admonisher and asked, "Is that possible?"
Although the admonisher felt that the reward was too heavy, he had already refuted the emperor once before, so he had to reluctantly accept it this time.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that these two titles are prepared for Cao Bin.
The emperor also had confidence in Cao Bin's ability to train soldiers.
Gao Qian was so jealous that he was paralyzed with jealousy. It was obviously Cao Bin who bullied us, but in the end the emperor was always thinking about him. He was too partial.
Compared with Cao Bin, people like me are like stepmothers, it's uncomfortable.
This is a second-class title. It is not dangerous and saves effort. It has the same benefits as having it delivered to your door.
But he also understood which one was more important, the emperor's attitude or his title. In order not to displease the emperor, he could only give up in tears.
However, Xie Jinwu behind Pan Renmei showed a look of greed and glanced sideways at Cao Bin with contempt in his eyes.
This is an excellent opportunity.
As long as he can get a spot, he has great confidence that he can win.
When the time comes, he will be directly promoted to the second class Viscount. Why should he still envy these noble children?
Pan Renmei would not treat herself as an ordinary maid...
The emperor did not stay at the Zhongjing Marquis Mansion for a long time, and ignored Pang Ji and his son, and quickly returned to the palace.
It seems to be specifically to announce the rewards for military training.
Most of the people attending the wedding showed excitement.
They are Cao Bin's old subordinates. The more Cao Bin is valued by the emperor, the more it proves that they are not following the wrong person.
Zhang Dun, who had already joined Fu Bi's disciples, also looked thoughtful when he saw this.
Gao Qian had already left with his people. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would be sore to death.
Time passed quickly. After everyone rushed Cao Bin into the new house, they left in a polite manner.
Pang Yu shouted with some dissatisfaction:
"We are having a wedding, why is no one having a wedding?"
Cao Bin couldn't help but kicked him into the hospital and made trouble in his sister's bridal chamber. This man was somewhat seriously ill.
Turning around, I saw Pang Yanyan sitting on the bedside obediently holding a fan, and the two maids also stood up straight.
At this time of year, it seems like you have to recite poems about fanning, which is similar to later generations lifting their heads. Cao Bin thought for a long time and felt a little confused:
"I don't know how to write poems. What should I do? How about I go to the scholars and ask for one?"
Pang Yanyan was anxious, moved the fan away quickly, and said shyly: "I'll tell my husband."
Cao Bin laughed, picked her up and said, "What's Fei doing?"
At this time, he suddenly remembered something and asked: "When you and I canceled our engagement earlier, was it considered a divorce and remarriage?"
Pang Yanyan looked horrified and was about to confess her feelings when Cao Bin became excited and said:
"This wife is exactly what Cao wants..."
Pang Yanyan was confused, wondering why her husband suddenly became excited.
But when she saw Cao Bin's next move, she immediately forgot her doubts and cooperated shyly.
