When he returned to the capital, the weather had gradually warmed up. Lu Hanjiang sat in front of Zhenfusi's desk, his head bouncing up and down in a daze. He didn't listen to a word of what Jiang Xian said below.
"My lord, my lord?"
Lu Hanjiang reluctantly opened his eyes, but Jiang Xian stood below him with an embarrassed look on his face: "Sir, we are not in a hurry, why don't you come back to your humble position another day?"
Lu Hanjiang yawned, waved his hands and said, "No need, just tell me, I'm listening."
"yes."
Jiang Xian carefully glanced upward, secretly condensing what he said, and picked out a few key points and said: "I have heard some rumors recently that the Five Mountains Sword Sect seems to be planning to hold the Five Mountains Conference again, this time in Hengshan. To come forward to organize, except for the Songshan sect who responded, the other three sects have not yet given a clear reply."
"Five Mountains Sword Sect..."
Lu Hanjiang lowered his eyes and tried to cheer up: "Send more people to pay attention to this matter, especially Huashan."
"I understand."
Jiang Xian quietly moved forward two steps. Seeing that the time was almost up, he said in a low voice: "Your Excellency will be getting married soon. The brothers have prepared some gifts for you."
"The day has not come yet."
Lu Hanjiang glanced at Jiang Xian and said calmly: "Where have you made a fortune recently?"
"Sir, I see what you said, brothers all abide by the law, how could they do that kind of thing..."
Under Lu Hanjiang's indifferent gaze, Jiang Xian's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally he smiled: "Reporting to your lord, when I was ordered to inspect Yaoyue Tower last time, some adults from the court were also involved. Because they were not on the list, So I took the initiative to let them go, and my lords will naturally reciprocate..."
Lu Hanjiang pressed his forehead: "Okay, I understand, you can go down."
"Thank you, sir." Jiang Xian stepped back with relief.
Yao Yue Lou is in the business of feasting and feasting, and it is inevitable that he will be involved with all forces. Jin Yiwei's order to arrest people will inevitably affect some unrelated people. What Jiang Xian did is considered common sense. After all, this kind of thing is calculable. It doesn't count.
After Jiang Xian left, Lu Hanjiang lay on the table and quickly fell asleep. The sleepiness caused by the change of seasons could not be avoided. On the other hand, since he gave his carefully selected gift to the princess, Commander Meng The number of calls to his door has increased significantly.
There were very few serious matters, mainly trivial matters, and most of them were related to Princess Yongle. It was obvious that Mr. Meng cared about his niece very much, and he would call Lu Hanjiang to give her advice whenever anything happened.
In recent days, Lu Hanjiang was often called to Master Meng's house for dinner, and the two of them would spend a long time chatting in the study. Therefore, he was very mentally exhausted and had no energy to torment others for the time being.
The days passed in such a blur, and Lu Hanjiang's new home, the Prince Consort's Mansion, which was specially built in accordance with the regulations of the imperial court, was completed, and it was finally the day to welcome the bride.
Only the last step of the three books and six etiquettes was left. As a second generation, this was the first time Lu Hanjiang married a wife. He honestly followed the rules from beginning to end and completed the entire wedding process in a meticulous manner.
He is a member of the clan, so no one from the Lu family came in name. Only Lu Shangshu prepared a generous gift for him in private, so after the worship of heaven and earth, Gaotang could only let Mr. Meng take his place temporarily.
Most of the guests who came to congratulate the palace were colleagues from the Jin Yiwei family, and some adults from the court also came, mostly for Meng Yuan's sake. After a banquet, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
As the groom's official, Lu Hanjiang couldn't avoid the drink today. Fortunately, Mr. Meng was suppressing him. He himself was also a high-ranking official, so no one dared to pour him much wine.
There was a lot of joy in the house, everyone was changing glasses, and quietly the auspicious time had come. Lu Hanjiang said that he was too drunk, and everyone half pushed him to his new house.
The princess's personal maid closed the door. The inside and outside of the room seemed to be two worlds. Lu Hanjiang felt that the endless noise suddenly faded away, and everything around him became quiet.
On the bright red wedding bed, Princess Yongle wore a red hijab and said nothing. The fingertips crossed on her knees were slightly white. As Lu Hanjiang approached step by step, her breathing slowly became rapid.
nervous? He was probably nervous. In fact, Lu Hanjiang was also a little nervous. He walked to the left side of the bed and sat down. He took a deep breath and stretched out his hand to lift Princess Yongle's hijab.
"hiss--"
After seeing the true appearance of the princess, Lu Hanjiang took a deep breath. The alcohol on his head evaporated on the spot, and his mind became clearer than ever before.
"Consort, consort..."
Princess Yongle timidly shouted the shameful name, with two shy red clouds floating on her immature face. She finally mustered up the courage to raise her head. In surprise, she felt like she had seen this face before somewhere.
In the eyes of outsiders, Lord Lu Hanjiang of the North Town Fusi is a middle-aged man over forty years old. Although I heard that this Lord looks young, who knows if he is exaggerating.
Therefore, Princess Yongle was extremely resistant to this marriage at first. After knowing that she could not refuse it, she prayed day and night, asking what kind of Yushu Linfeng the other party was, let alone a gray-haired old man.
When she first saw Lu Hanjiang's face in his early twenties, Princess Yongle was more surprised than surprised, but she soon discovered something was wrong. This face... seemed familiar.
Not-so-distant memories slowly came to mind. Isn't this the "Mr. Xu Zhen" who used words against her in the palace and slandered her face to face? !
Princess Yongle is not old, but she has a clear mind. There is no way that she would go to the wrong wedding room during a royal wedding. Besides, the other party is still wearing the groom's clothes. In other words, this guy is the Lu Hanjiang, and he did it on purpose. Under the name of "Xu Zhenfu", he was playing tricks on her!
"Oh it's you!"
"It's actually you..."
As early as when the other party recognized him, Lu Hanjiang recognized that Princess Yongle was the one he met in the palace.
The embarrassment of having her vest exposed was second to none. The main reason was that in Lu Hanjiang's imagination, Princess Yongle was at least almost 20 years old.
I thought I was going to marry a girl who was as old as Huangfu Xiaoyuan, but who knew that a child who was about the same age as Shangluo was brought here, and was even worse than that girl. At least she looked younger, and her age At least it's up to standard, but the one in front of me is probably only fifteen or sixteen.
Although from the current secular point of view, there is nothing wrong with a girl of this age getting married, but in Lu Hanjiang's eyes, this girl who is fifteen or sixteen years old is just a child.
"You are Princess Yongle, what a coincidence... So, when you were twelve or thirteen, His Majesty was already busy looking for a husband for you? Are you so disliked by His Majesty?" Lu Hanjiang covered his face, Somewhat helpless.
Hearing this, Yongle clenched his pink fists tightly and said through gritted teeth: "Girls from the twelfth and thirteenth years can get married and have children. Why shouldn't my father choose someone for me... It's you." , you deliberately pretended not to recognize me, and then, you said...!"
Princess Yongle was so angry that she didn't say the next words.
"No, I didn't actually recognize you at that time..." Lu Hanjiang raised his head, quite speechless. This time, he was misled by his own inherent concepts. He suffered it himself and could not blame others.
"God's Coming"
It's just that the bride has bowed down, the marriage is done, it's a done deal, so he has no choice but to hold his nose and admit it.
The two stared in silence, and then Princess Yongle angrily took off the beaded crown on her head, then got into the quilt in her wedding clothes, shrank into a corner, and muttered: "I am asleep!"
Lu Hanjiang shook his head, followed suit and took off his hat, lay down with his clothes on the outside, lifted one side of the quilt to cover him, yawned and closed his eyes: "Good night."
It was a beautiful day, a newlywed couple was sleeping in their clothes, dragon and phoenix candles were burning quietly on the table, and several maids standing outside the door were at a loss in the cold wind.
The two maids carrying the prison animals and the wine looked at each other in confusion, and invariably looked at the one who had his ear against the door. One of them whispered: "Sister Xiaoli, why is there no movement inside?"
"I, I don't know either..." Xiaoli was also confused. She was talking just now, but why did she suddenly become silent? Could it be that the princess and the consort were at odds? She was startled by her guess.
"Then...when will we be sent in?" The two maids were also worried. According to etiquette, the newlyweds had to eat the same food and drink the same wine, but the two people inside didn't speak, so they couldn't break in. go in.
"Wait a minute...His Highness should ask us to come in..." Xiaoli said uncertainly.
