In addition, his father was busy with government affairs, and his mother died when Duan Jin was ten years old. So Duan Jin can be said to have been raised by this eldest brother. Literature and martial arts were almost all taught by this eldest brother, so he was the closest to him. After her father's death, she was unwilling to marry her brother, who loved his young sister, and he never forced her or restrained her.
It can be said that Duan Jin's character and temper were shaped by her elder brother. Duan Jin was also the most saddened by the untimely death of his imperial brother who was only in his early forties when he died. What makes her even more sad is that now, because of her beloved husband, she has offended her currently reigning imperial nephew and the Gao family who are now in charge of Dali's national affairs, and it is almost impossible to return to Dali.
It is even impossible to pay homage to my parents and brothers and burn incense in front of their souls. I remembered the love of my father and mother, the queen, and the pampering of my brother when I was young. After becoming pregnant, Duan Jin, who was already a little fragile, couldn't help but burst into tears. Covering his face with his hands, he sobbed silently in the Buddhist hall. She, who was also born in the royal family, knew that tears were taboo in the Tian family, and she could no longer cry after leaving this Buddhist hall.
At this time, Huang Qiong, who was tossing around with several girls in another room, didn't know that Duan Jin was once again homesick because of his own expedition. It was cloudy and rainy all night until almost dawn, when Huang Qiong finally stopped and returned home happily. At this time, several women had been turned into a puddle of mud by him. Lying there, looking at Huang Qiong who was not tired, he could only sigh slightly.
Except for Lin Hanyan and the two confidant maids around her who have been adopted by Huang Qiong as his intercourse girls. The other four women all doubted whether this guy was still a human being? He has been turned into a puddle of mud, how can this guy still be so energetic? If it weren't for the fact that several of them couldn't bear it anymore, I guess this guy could continue.
Perhaps among the several women, except for Lin Hanyan and the two maids who were summoned, the other four women had extremely yin physiques, which would be of great benefit to his cultivation. Huang Qiong was taking a bath and getting ready to change, lying in the tub. It is true that I am not even half tired, but on the contrary, I am extremely energetic. However, considering the special nature of today's day, I am also worried that Huang Qiong will miss the time.
Different from the past, this time Huang Qiong took a bath, and the Wu Ziyu sisters who served him were tightly covered. This was because Huang Qiong knew that he was taking a bath and never liked being served by eunuchs. Afraid of letting others go, Huang Qiong couldn't control herself and struggled in the bathroom again. That's why He Yao, the housekeeper, specially sent the more stable Wu sisters to wait for him to bathe.
If it were Lin Wanqing and the others who never refused Huang Qiong's request, they probably wouldn't know how long this bath would last. Duan Jin's arrangement last night was discussed by He Yao and her, so it was naturally clear. Now Huang Qiong's body is also known to He Yao. Knowing that Huang Qiong might not be really exhausted last night. That's why He Yao made this arrangement.
At least the Wu sisters still know how to refuse. Fortunately, maybe I had enough fun with Duan Jin before. Huang Qiong, who also knew what day it was, was quite honest when taking a bath. Although when the two women were wiping his hair, they showed their beautiful figures in front of him. There is also a feeling of being distracted and unable to control myself. At most, it's just dishonest and eating someone else's tofu.
But generally speaking, I still managed to control myself. Of course, it would make him finish the bath honestly, but there were also two women who wanted to take advantage of him when he was eating tofu. Even though he was blushing with embarrassment, he still had a firm attitude and refused. Otherwise, relying solely on Huang Qiong's own willpower, which has always been weak when facing the Wu Ziyu sisters, may not really be able to do it.
By the time Huang Qiong came out of the bathroom and was served by the Wu sisters and put on the prince's formal dress, people from the etiquette department had already arrived. Along with the people from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, Princess Jincheng, as well as King Yong and King Shen arrived. Princess Jincheng came in compliance with the old man's imperial edict. Since the old man was unable to leave the palace, she and the officials from the Ministry of Rites came to welcome the bride in person on the old man's behalf.
As for King Yong and King Shen, they came here purely to help and to watch the fun. Especially King Yong, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up when he thought that Huang Qiong, who had always disliked complicated etiquette, would be driven crazy by all kinds of etiquette today. Today's wedding, the actual ceremony is not held in the Prince's Palace, but in the Hanyuan Hall, the main hall of the palace.
The old man today opened the Hanyuan Hall, which can only be opened for the reigning emperor's wedding. This is the largest main hall in the already grand palace. It is also the hall that is used to hold the emperor's enthronement, wedding, canonization of the queen, and other major ceremonies. , this is not only to promote the king of Guilin, but also for some reasons that have arisen in the emperor's own heart but cannot be said yet.
In fact, I had no idea that while the old man was acting like this, Princess Jincheng, who was mostly putting on a show for the world to see, was deeply disapproving of today's wedding. He even disapproved of the fact that the old man made Huang Qiong's wedding so grand and placed it in the Hanyuan Hall, which in the past could only be used for the emperor's wedding.
Even in his heart, he was still complaining that the old man did this, which was a bit excessive and biased. When the prince got married, it was only held in the East Palace. Now Huang Qiong is still just a prince, but the wedding is all held in accordance with the emperor's wedding rules. It's just that the old man not only called her into the palace yesterday to give a solemn explanation. As the eldest sister, let her help.
He also transferred his lover to Huang Qiong, who is now about to serve as the ambassador of Longyou and Shaanxi Second Road. He knew that his ninth brother was ruthless and would not take it seriously when killing officials. Her lover, the stubborn Princess Jincheng, could only gather her energy and help Huang Qiong organize the wedding. There is no way, the handle of the knife is in Huang Qiong's hand.
It's just that although the sacred destiny is difficult, she has to accompany Huang Qiong to welcome the bride as the eldest sister. But when he looked at Huang Qiong, who was wearing a prince's formal attire, his eyes were somewhat different. Even if she no longer disliked her in the past, Princess Jincheng today had to admit that Huang Qiong, dressed in a prince's formal attire, looked more like a prince of a country than the former prince.
The domineering nature of his movements was something that even the old man could not match. If Huang Qiong's princely attire were replaced by the emperor's dragon robe, no one would think that he was just a prince, but would directly regard him as an emperor with all the power in the world. Thinking of Concubine Jing's aura that no one dared to look at at the funeral of Queen Dahang, Princess Jincheng sighed in her heart.
No matter how much she felt resentful towards Huang Qiong and her son, she could not help but say that aura really had to be developed at an early age. Queen Dahang, who was born in a small family, was impeccable in terms of virtue and virtue. But in terms of momentum, she couldn't compare with Concubine Jing. The former crown prince trained by Queen Daxing looked petty in every aspect compared with the ninth younger brother who had been educated by Concubine Jing since childhood.
Not only are they very different in their behavior, but they are even more incomparable in terms of their momentum. The imperial aura carried by this ninth brother's movements was far beyond what the deposed prince could compare to. As the saying goes, if you don't have that momentum, you won't look like a prince even if you put on a dragon robe. No other prince could wear the same princely attire with such magnanimity.
Just as Princess Jincheng was thinking wildly here, as the Minister of Rites announced the arrival of auspicious times, Huang Qiong rode on his bloody horse and rushed to the other courtyard where the Prince of Guilin lived to welcome the bride. This ceremony was originally not included in the royal marriage ceremony. Because even according to the practice of a prince's wedding, the mother's family uses a sedan to send their daughter to the palace or the East Palace where the ceremony is held.
Absolutely not. The prince comes to welcome the bride in person. This is a common practice only among the people. A king is a king and a minister is a minister. The strict rules of the Tian family are the same at weddings. The prince is a minister in front of the emperor, but he is a king in front of other ministers. It is impossible for you to go to your father-in-law's house to marry you, not even to your own father-in-law's house. This is the etiquette system, and it is also the distinction between monarch and minister.
But the reason why she did this today was because Huang Qiong wanted to give Situ Huanshuang an unforgettable wedding to make up for the formal ceremony that could not be given to other girls. It is also a sign of respect from the old man to the King of Guilin. Of course, this respect is only superficial. But even in private, the two people are desperately trying to stab each other, but this face-saving project still needs to be done.
How else to show to the outside world that the monarchs and ministers of Da Qi Dynasty are one and united to the point of indestructibility? You see, the prince I planned to marry your daughter broke the convention and came to marry him in person. This is enough to show the respect and attention I have for you, the first hero of the founding of the country. It further illustrates that I, the emperor, have already lowered myself to the rank of corporal Li Xian, the king of Guilin County.
It's just that the old man and Huang Qiong took such a serious attitude, but it caught the Guilin County Prince off guard, and even secretly made him angry. With this old fox's mentality, the moment he saw Huang Qiong coming to marry him in person, he knew that he was being plotted by the father and son. Moreover, such a damaging move may not be something that the emperor, who has always behaved in a well-behaved manner, could come up with.
I'm afraid there's a good chance that it was my good son-in-law who did it. Little did they know that Huang Qiong and Situ Huanshuang had a past before they knew each other's identities. Huang Qiong created this grand wedding ceremony in person, just to compensate Situ Huanshuang with Po Xia Donkey. And the emperor was sincere to show that the court valued the Guilin County Prince's Palace.
As for any conspiracy or the like, the father and son really haven't thought about it. However, although he didn't know the bride and groom today, they had already carried him to the same bed. Moreover, Situ Huanshuang's real life experience was no longer a secret to Huang Qiong. The King of Guilin felt a bit of toothache when he saw the groom riding a sweaty horse and wearing a prince's formal attire.
What he knew was that such a grand scene was coming. My allies who were already suspicious and who were finally united only by their own interests may become even more suspicious now. If you do this, whether it is now or in the near future, if you want to appease those greedy and suspicious wolves, I am afraid the price you have to pay will be even greater.
The king would not hesitate to kneel down and go to the courtier's home to marry his daughter. How serious is it to do this? If he were to say at this moment that he and the imperial court were simply bedfellows. What the emperor and his son did was just setting up a trap for themselves and showing off to the world. Who would believe that group of greedy wolves who want to eat meat but are afraid of being bitten in return?
This damn guy, for such a simple conspiracy, how much will he have to pay in the future, a price that should not have been or could be avoided? But even though he knew that this grand wedding was a pill forced on him by the emperor. At this time, even though he knew that the medicine was poisonous, he had no choice but to swallow it.
