The deafening joy spread throughout the streets and alleys of Jicheng, making it difficult not to notice.
Ordinary people have no chance to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Now I heard that the Crown Prince actually led a procession around the city in order to marry the Crown Princess. Many people crowded in, and even people outside the city all came together. Push to the city.
As a result, the huge Jicheng City was completely besieged.
In order to maintain the security of the city, countless soldiers were sent to the streets one after another, and it was almost overcrowded.
The people stood shoulder to shoulder, chatting animatedly while watching the excitement.
"Are there actually so many people in Jicheng?"
"That's definitely not the case. I'm a businessman. I went to Wangjing in Dayan before and it was the most lively place. Although it's also the royal capital, Jicheng is still a bit inferior."
"Today we are all here to see the Crown Prince and Crown Princess. There were not so many people there when His Majesty ascended the throne."
"His Majesty was enthroned in the palace. Common people like us couldn't see him, so we naturally wouldn't come over. But today we can see the real prince. It's a pity that the princess has already entered the carriage, and she just came out to worship outside the palace!"
"I was at the scene at that time. This princess was really a real fairy. She was even more beautiful than the one in the painting. And her aura of wealth and nobility, in my opinion, was not something that the Emperor of Dayan could have given birth to. There are people who believe in Chang’e in the sky.”
"Chang'e is also a folk girl who became an immortal. The nobility of Princess Dayan is not something ordinary people have. She is like a fairy under the Queen Mother, a princess in heaven."
"Is Princess Dayan really so good? People in Dayan are all cowards!" Someone obviously didn't believe it.
As soon as he finished speaking, several people came after him to explain, swearing that Chen Xueying was different.
"That can still be false. I have seen with my own eyes that our Crown Princess really only exists in heaven. How many times can we see her in this world!"
"The evil bamboo has produced good bamboo shoots. Besides, she is now our Crown Princess of Northern Qi. She is one of our own. You have to change your mind!"
"To put it bluntly, I even thought that the Crown Princess was marrying down. For such a fairy-like figure, the dowry would be more than enough to buy the entire Jicheng City. Tsk tsk..."
Such compliments from several people instantly convinced the people around them. And looking at the beating of gongs and drums, everyone knew how much the prince valued the princess, and actually made many people support the prince. Concubine.
In the bustling Jicheng City, this kind of scene is happening in more than one place at the moment.
At this time, Lu Qingfeng was sitting in the private room on the second floor of Xingwang Restaurant, the best restaurant in Jicheng, with the window open and looking at the lively scene from the street.
The noisy voices downstairs reached his ears from time to time. Five of the ten sentences were about praising Chen Xueying. Even at the back, like a source of infection, each one was too exaggerated and started to criticize her.
It was as if Princess Dayan really saved them from fire and water. Even though it was the first day she came to Northern Qi, she was praised on the altar.
He was so angry that he threw the wine cup in his hand, and the refreshing aroma of wine immediately filled the elegant room.
"Go and arrest a few people and ask if someone has bribed them with money? Can Princess Dayan know how to bewitch? They are eating each other up and praising the princess of the enemy country to the heavens. She is a treasure, and our Northern Qi prince is just a piece of grass. What the hell? !”
He knocked on the table, and a guard immediately took the order and left.
In less than a cup of tea, he came back and said: "When I came back to the Second Highness, it was indeed bribed by someone. They said that I had grabbed a handful of copper coins and gave them to them. If I praised them well, I could continue to collect them."
The corner of Lu Qingfeng's mouth twitched. Chen Xueying was so brave. She actually dared to pay people to praise her in Beiqi's territory. She was outrageous!
"Where are the people?"
"My subordinates arrested a few people who were receiving money. Following the clues, they also caught a Dayan soldier who was paying money. He is now locked in the next room. Do you want to solve them all?" the guard asked.
Lu Qingfeng shook his head and sneered: "No, give it to my good brother and let him see that his princess dared to step on him and praise herself on the first day to see if he can stand it. Wolf King The authority cannot be challenged."
While he couldn't stand it, he was secretly happy in his heart.
When he was worried about how to drive a wedge between the two of them, Chen Xueying couldn't wait to give him the excuse.
After the motorcade paraded around the city, it finally headed in the direction of Yuhou Mansion.
Compared with the cynicism and sarcasm when the Dayan convoy first entered the city, now there are almost blessings and praises everywhere, even confusing all the Dayan soldiers.
Is this really the capital of the enemy king?
Why does it give people a sense of dislocation, as if they have returned home in glory after a victorious battle?
Lu Zhao was riding at the front when suddenly a Northern Qi guard approached from behind and whispered a few words to him.
The man raised his eyebrows and didn't say a word. He just waved his hand to indicate silence for the time being.
The motorcade finally arrived at the gate of Yuhou Mansion, and everyone stopped.
"Why are you here at the Marquis Mansion?"
"In story books, usually when the identities of the male and female protagonists are different, the female protagonist will be asked to identify with a powerful person as her godfather, and raise her status to marry the male protagonist. Don't we, the Crown Princess, not want to bear the name of Princess Dayan and accept the title of Old Marquis? Godfather?" Someone speculated whimsically.
Of course, as soon as these words came out, they were criticized.
"What are you thinking about? No matter how cowardly Emperor Dayan is, he is still an emperor! Besides, the old Marquis has kicked his legs and closed his eyes. Now there are only a bunch of unworthy descendants left in the Marquis' mansion. They are not here to recognize their relatives. ."
"Hey, the plaque of Yuhou Mansion has been removed and a new plaque has been put up!"
"The new plaque is directly inscribed. It must have been written in a hurry and there was no time to finish it."
"What's written on it? Is there a scholar?"
"I know Princess Yuanjin's Mansion."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was shocked: "What, this is the princess's palace? The title of our princess in Dayan is Yuan Jin."
"But she is already a princess. Of course she lives in the prince's palace. How can she still build a palace in the name of a princess?"
Although the common people are illiterate, they love to inquire about many things about the royal family.
They didn't dare to ask too much about the court's tactics, but they liked to inquire about things like family ties or status, and generally the government wouldn't convict them if they knew about it.
Not only the people were shocked, but also the soldiers who followed were all confused.
Liu Lei looked at the carriage with a shocked face. The Crown Prince of Northern Qi personally escorted him here, which proved that he agreed to it.
Northern Qi was famous for looking down on women. Even when the emperor and empress got married, the queen's carriage was not allowed to enter the country through the main entrance. What could be expected from him.
What did Princess Yuanjin do? She could actually get Lu Zhao to agree to her building a princess mansion.
After being taught a lesson by Princess Yuanjin before, he felt that it was the incompetence of Dayan's soldiers that made her suffer.
But now, apart from admiration for this princess, he had no emotion at all.
He even wanted to kneel down to her.
She has such ability, why is she born a girl? If he were a prince, he would be able to fight for Dayan, so that Dayan wouldn't lose so miserably.
When Zhao Li saw this newly replaced plaque, his mind was buzzing.
He has recognized that the inscription on the plaque was written by His Royal Highness himself. What on earth is this doing?
"Your Highness, where did Princess Yuanjin's Mansion come from? Princesses of the Northern Qi Dynasty are not treated like this. It is completely against the rules!" Zhao Li pulled the reins and rushed directly in front of Lu Zhao, saying eagerly.
Lu Zhao didn't answer.
However, Chen Xueying was helped out of the carriage. When she heard these words, she couldn't help but chuckle.
"General Zhao started to talk about the rules again. I didn't want to be acquainted with you in the past few times. After all, it's not easy for you generals to lead troops in war. Don't be so demanding when it comes to rules. But this time you have to follow the rules again and again. Suppressing people is really unacceptable to me."
"Since you pay so much attention to rules, why do you use a questioning tone towards His Royal Highness? Who are you talking to? He is not the prisoner you are interrogating, let alone the enemy you captured."
She still held the wedding fan in her hand to cover her face, but when she said the next few words, she took off the fan directly. There was no smile on her face, and she was completely facing the enemy head-on.
"Princess, are you talking to the prince? Please don't interrupt. You don't understand the rules of Northern Qi." Zhao Li said firmly.
Chen Xueying was just pretending to be angry, but now she was really angry after hearing these words.
Zhao Li's words reminded her of a low-quality man who once said to her: Men do big things, so you women shouldn't ask too many questions.
She replied to the man at that time: Doing something big? How big of a deal is it? Do you still have to report it when you go to take a dump?
Now she also wants to scold him directly. A simple bad mouth can bring the ultimate enjoyment.
But this Zhao Li is not worthy of her ruined character.
"It is precisely because you are talking to the prince like this that I want to remind you. The prince is my husband, and husband and wife are one. If you despise him, you despise me, and if you provoke me, you provoke him. General Zhao is really What a great skill, it offended both of us at once."
"Besides, in order to be the Crown Princess of Northern Qi, I specially learned the rules of Northern Qi before coming here. Unless it is a war, you, as a subordinate, can talk to His Highness the Crown Prince on horseback. But now we are in Jicheng, this is You made the first mistake."
"When talking to the prince, his tone was cold and his attitude was full of doubts. This is the second mistake."
"When someone kindly reminds you, you not only don't admit your mistake, but you also turn to attack others, and this other person is also more noble than you. This is the third mistake."
"General Zhao talks about rules all the time. Do you mean the rules set by the Emperor of Northern Qi or your own rules? I really don't understand."
Chen Xueying was talking eloquently. Although she spoke for such a long time, her tone was unhurried and unhurried, which was extremely comfortable to the ears.
Of course, except for Zhao Li who was so angry that she attacked him.
"General Zhao is tired and confused. It's better for the Crown Princess not to be acquainted with him." Lu Zhao finally spoke. He glanced at Zhao Li coldly. Although he was dissatisfied, he still came out to be the peacemaker.
There is no way he would really punish Zhao Li for this matter.
A meritorious general was punished by the prince because he did not learn the rules well. When word spread, no one benefited.
Zhao Li might be given the reputation of being disrespectful, which would be unfavorable for leading troops in the future, and he, the prince, would also easily be given the impression that he had no tolerance for others, which would hurt both sides.
Only Chen Xueying, who stood up for her husband, might have said a few words. After all, she was talking about rules.
Zhao Li was so angry that he wanted to kill the woman with his sword, but he resisted.
He moved his lips and made several mental preparations before reluctantly apologizing: "Old minister, I am really confused. Please forgive me, Your Highness and the Crown Princess."
"General Zhao is wrong again. If you apologize, you have to kneel down and clasp your fists." Chen Xueying reminded kindly again.
Zhao Li's gums were almost bleeding from biting down. Sooner or later, he would kill this woman!
No matter how reluctant he was, he still knelt down straightly when she pointed it out.
"Hey, Your Highness, please help him up quickly. A weak woman in this palace cannot bear such a big gift!" Chen Xueying lightly touched Lu Zhao's shoulder with her wedding fan and reminded her in a panicked tone, taking a small step back to avoid it. Got this gift.
"I also care about Your Highness. General Zhao has not learned the rules well. It is better not to mention it again in the future. Others are not as easy to talk to as I am. They will seize the opportunity and trample you to death." She pretended. It's generous and authentic, and it sounds really considerate.
What's even more annoying is that some of the people watching behind him are really flattering.
"Hey, our princess is too kind."
"Yes, yes, that's all. General Zhao is a meritorious minister. Princess, you can't be so soft-hearted next time. A good person will be bullied by others, and a good horse will be ridden by others!"
"That's right, Crown Princess, don't imitate Dayan's extravagant etiquette. We in Beiqi do whatever we say. Some people have to be beaten before they obey."
Zhao Li, who was helped up by Lu Zhao, almost fainted.
Damn you, mother, you are all spies, we will arrest you all later!
