The quarrel with Su Xuanyong made Su Qian's mentality obviously depressed. Fortunately, after Su Fengling's enlightenment, Su Qian suddenly woke up.
Sitting on the carriage back home, Su Qi'an felt scared. Fortunately, he had met Su Fengling just now. Otherwise, he might have been completely discouraged and given up everything, no matter what.
Fortunately, he finally woke up in time and did not capsize in the gutter. Even though he had experienced modern education, he had been in Da Liang for so long and what he had seen and heard, his mentality had been assimilated by Da Liang unconsciously.
This is not a bad thing. Now that God has given him a chance to start over, Su Qi'an is no longer obsessed with this dynasty that does not exist in history. What he has to do now is not only to protect his relatives and friends, but also to give peace to the people of Da Liang. .
Now that he has chosen to take this path, Su Qi'an will continue to walk firmly and never change.
Suddenly, I figured it out in my heart and no longer stuck to some entanglements. Now that Da Liang has come, then just follow his ideas, and my life will not be in vain.
When Su Qi'an had completely figured it out, the galloping carriage quickly left the imperial city and returned to the Dongshan Marquis Mansion.
At this time, Xie Cang was the only one in the Hou Mansion, pacing back and forth waiting, with an anxious look on his face.
As for Wenxuan, because he was a master, due to his status, and because it was too late, it was really inconvenient to stay in the Hou Mansion, so he left early. However, before leaving, someone had been sent to wait for news in the Hou Mansion.
Seeing Su Qi'an return safely, Xie Cangxuan's heart relaxed a little, and he quickly stepped forward to ask more carefully.
Su Qi'an nodded slightly and led Xie Cang towards the room. Before leaving, he handed the written letter to the people from the Hanlin Academy who had been waiting for a long time.
After receiving the letter, the man clasped his fists and saluted, then turned and left. Su Qi'an turned around and entered the room with Xie Cang.
Then the door was closed tightly, and the candles in the room were lit almost all night. It seemed that the two of them had been talking all night.
As the sky gradually grew brighter, the news about what happened at the celebration banquet last night basically spread. However, the news spread was limited to officials of all sizes in Kyoto and some powerful families. As for the news spread to the people in the city, it was superficial. news.
For example, Su Qi'an and Xie Cang were promoted to high positions, and each received huge rewards. The celebration banquet last night was quite lively.
In fact, the officials in the city, big and small, were most concerned about the private conversation between Su Qi'an and Su Xuanyong.
This kind of thing cannot be hidden, and soon the news broke out that Su Qi'an and Su Xuanyong had a private chat, and the two had a big fight. Su Xuanyong followed the agreement and would choose a date for the Ninth Princess to marry him.
But after that, the trust between the two monarchs and ministers was completely broken, and they basically parted ways. It is said that after the marriage, Su Qian will leave Kyoto and return to Xizhou. As for other matters in Kyoto, it has nothing to do with him.
The news broke out, which made all the ministers very excited. After fighting Su Qi'an for so long, they finally waited until this day. Although they failed to fight Su Qi'an, they lost His Majesty's trust. This was a huge victory.
With the first step, there will be more opportunities in the future. Slowly rectify it. Through this incident, many officials have realized that if they want to deal with Su Qi'an, they can't just be tough, they have to continue to praise him like they are now. , say nice words and apply eye drops, so that Su Qi'an can fall harder.
Just as the ministers' eyes flashed, they were discussing how to deal with Su Qi'an in the future. The wedding date of Su Qi'an and the Ninth Princess was also put on the agenda. It won't be long. In five days, the wedding will be held in the imperial city.
When the news came, it immediately set off the whole Kyoto. The streets and alleys were decorated with lights and colorful decorations. The wedding of the Ninth Princess was a big event. Even if they were ordinary people, they had to enjoy it together. This is called rejoicing with the people.
As the news was released, red lanterns were hung high inside and outside Kyoto, and the streets were very lively. In this atmosphere, Su Xuanyong decreed that during the wedding period, all daily expenses of the people in Kyoto would be paid for by the royal family.
This imperial edict pushed the excitement of Kyoto to a climax. Five days passed by in a flash, and the closed door of the Baishouhou Mansion was changed again, and the closed door opened.
Su Qi'an, wearing a groom's robe and a groom's hat, walked out slowly. Under the escort of many imperial guards, he got on his horse and headed towards the imperial city.
The streets along the way have long been cleared, and all you can see are all kinds of red lanterns and colorful ribbons hanging, which look very festive.
Su Qian was riding a horse, looking energetic and heroic. Under the escort of the imperial army, he entered the imperial city.
In the imperial city, the ministers of the DPRK, led by Zheng Yuan, Zhao Cheng, and Sima Yue, greeted him with smiles.
Su Qi'an also cupped his fists and returned the greeting. Under the shouts of the prince-in-law, the two sides were quite polite when coming and going.
Along the way, they came to a huge and magnificent palace. Su Qi'an dismounted and entered the palace accompanied by many officials. Above the palace, there were only three people, Su Xuanyong, Su Zhe and Su Tai.
Many officials took their seats one after another. Su Qi'an stood in the middle. Under the sharp shouts of the chamberlain, Su Fengling was dressed in a long red phoenix robe and a phoenix crown. Her face was covered by a red shawl. The long skirt behind her was covered by several figures. The palace maid pulled.
Although the appearance cannot be seen, the aura exuding from his body has a unique solemnity and luxury.
With the support of the palace maid, Su Fengling slowly came to Su Qi'an's side. Su Xuanyong, who was standing above, nodded slightly and shouted to the chamberlain, "Let's begin."
Then, the voice of the chamberlain rang out in the hall one after another. The ceremony lasted for about a quarter of an hour, and with the last "It's done!" the wedding ceremony came to an end.
Su Xuanyong looked at Su Qi'an and Su Fengling below, and didn't say much, but gave a few simple instructions.
Most of what he said were polite polite words. He hoped that Su Qi'an could live up to his promise and be good to the Ninth Princess. If not, he would not spare Su Qi'an.
Su Qi'an clasped his fists and solemnly promised Su Xuanyong, "If you break your promise, you will definitely come to see me."
With this promise, Su Xuanyong did not stay long, handed over the hosting ceremony in the palace to Su Zhe and Su Tai, then turned around and left saying he was tired.
Su Xuanyong's departure only further confirmed that the trust between the emperor and his ministers between him and Su Qi'an was broken, which made many ministers in the court feel secretly happy.
Not long after Su Xuanyong left, under the auspices of Su Zhe and Su Tai, many ministers began to raise glasses and clink wine with Su Qi'an. Both parties came and went, with thick smiles on their faces and compliments. The atmosphere in the palace was... So lively.
The banquets in the hall lasted for an hour or two, and then the joy gradually dissipated.
Then, with everyone watching, Su Qi'an took Su Fengling's hand and turned to leave.
After enjoying themselves, the ministers bowed their hands to Su Zhe and Su Tai above, and then left.
Su Zhe and Su Tai, who were standing above, said nothing, looked at each other, and left one after the other.
As many ministers thought, Ninth Princess marrying Su Qian was a good outcome.
Naturally, they will not stop her. Now that she has married the Ninth Princess, the two parties are even more like a family. How to choose the future path depends on whether Su Qi'an is sensible or not.
Logically speaking, according to the wedding ceremony, the most important thing should be the bridal chamber, but today's wedding is not an ordinary wedding.
It's the Ninth Princess that His Majesty loves most. Her status is very noble, and no one in their right mind would dare to mention the so-called bridal chamber.
Moreover, today's wedding was within their expectations. Although they had a grudge against Su Qi'an, the matter of marrying the Ninth Princess was settled in Dongzhou, and there was no need to interfere with it.
Their target has always been Su Qi'an. As for the Ninth Princess, no matter how noble her status is, she is still a female streamer. She will not be a big threat in the future. She will eventually get married and raise her husband and children.
Compared with marrying Prince Fusang, it would be better to marry Su Qi'an. At least it would save the face of the Great Liang man. From this aspect, Su Qi'an's marriage still has some merit.
What they have to do is support Su Zhe and Su Tai in their fight for the throne, while the Ninth Princess can get married in peace.
As the ministers in the palace dispersed, the wedding gradually came to an end.
Su Qi'an, who was holding Su Fengling's hand, also returned to the palace in the imperial city.
Although Su Fengling is married to Su Qi'an, she is still the royal princess and Su Xuanyong's most beloved daughter. Naturally, she will stay in the imperial city overnight on the first night of the wedding, and will follow Su Qi'an back to Baishouhou Mansion later.
This may be Su Xuanyong's last stubbornness. After all, she is a married woman, and she is reluctant to part with her.
When they returned to the bedroom, they sat on the bed. Su Qi'an picked up the wedding scale from the table and lifted Su Fengling's hair.
Su Fengling still looked the same as in the impression, but with makeup, she was obviously different.
A pair of big eyes, not as cold as before, with a bit of tenderness, a high nose, and a slightly red face. She looked quite beautiful and charming. Even Su Qian was in a daze for a moment.
Su Fengling was the first to react. She looked at Su Qi'an angrily and said, "What? Haven't you seen it before?"
Su Qi'an sat on the bed, stared at Su Fengling seriously, and said directly.
"Well, I really have never seen such a beautiful lady."
Hearing this, Su Fengling rolled her eyes, looking a little playful and cute.
"Madam, now we are husband and wife, so how should you call me now?"
Su Fengling lowered her head, her cheeks were rosy, and she whispered two words.
Su Qi'an pretended not to hear, moved her face closer, and asked, "Madam, what did you say, I didn't hear it."
"Husband...husband."
Just when Su Fengling shouted, the next moment, Su Qian kissed her directly.
Suddenly, Su Fengling's cheeks turned redder, her eyes closed subconsciously, and her palms unconsciously rested on Su Qian's shoulders.
The air was instantly filled with deep sweetness. Su Qi'an put his arms around Su Fengling's waist and leaned forward unconsciously.
Su Fengling's gagged mouth muttered something in a low voice. Su Qian smiled slightly and whispered in her ear, "Madam, I will be good to you and will be good to you forever."
Immediately afterwards, when Su Qian's body fell, he pulled open the red curtain beside the bed and covered the red curtains on both sides. Then, with a slight muffled sound, a spring warmth swept out...
