After the New Year, I returned to Beijing.
The people of Jufeng all sent them out of the city gate and watched them leave. They did not return for a long time.
The capital here has already received the news, counting the days, and festive decorations have been arranged early.
The large group of people marched in great numbers, with veterans riding in cars and Shuofang's army guarding them in front and behind. They walked slowly and unhurriedly. They were welcomed by the people wherever they went.
It wasn't until I took off my heavy cotton clothes and put on thin cotton jackets that I arrived in the capital.
The army entered the city, and the streets were deserted. The people of Jin'an gathered on the main road to welcome the returning heroes, to get a glimpse of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, and more importantly, to take a look at the appearance of the Princess of Daye.
The city is full of flowers and colorful ribbons are flying. The people are happier than during the New Year. They wear the most beautiful and colorful clothes and are beaming with joy.
The army slowly entered the city. The generals on horseback were tall and handsome, and their armors shone golden in the sunlight. However, the helmets covered most of their faces, and it was not clear for a while who was the Crown Prince.
The crown prince and the eldest princess were sitting in a carriage. Also sitting in the convoy was the veteran humerus from Daye. A convoy of more than a dozen cars followed the cavalry. The curtains were tightly closed, not letting out a trace of light, and no one knew. Which car was in which were the Crown Princess and Her Royal Highness the Princess?
When the army passed by, the common people stretched their necks and stood on tiptoes to identify them. They saw all the same people, but this did not hinder their joy and excitement. They still followed the army with full energy, singing and dancing. , laughing and cruising.
The army entered the city and the city gate cooled down. Not many people even entered the city today.
From a distance, there was only a family of three, a couple dressed as farmers, holding a little baby in a flowered coat and pigtails.
On the festive day, the city gates were much more relaxed. They entered the city smoothly, and then walked along the base of the city wall. Everyone's thoughts were on the triumphant heroes, and no one paid attention to this ordinary young couple.
The three of them found a place to sit under a big tree and rest.
Li Luansong said: "Let's wait until they are all gone before we leave."
Shen Que said yes, "Don't worry about it. Fortunately, His Highness thought of this idea."
Li Luansong said with a smile: "Otherwise, we have to go through the red tape again, which will make people angry. Not only will we eat the same palace dishes, there is nothing new at all. Simply, what everyone likes to see is the excitement, and so do we. There’s no need to sacrifice your own fun, that’s great.”
He looked at Shen Que carefully again and said with a click of his tongue: "Look at my beauty, she is even better than a fairy in a flowered coat. She is so naturally beautiful. Even if we wear purple, we are as beautiful as my mother-in-law."
This outfit was found by Li Luansong with great difficulty. It is a cotton flowered jacket paired with coarse cloth shoes, and a short coat and long skirt that are extremely comfortable.
"Your Highness looks good in this." Shen Que said with a smile, "If you go to a restaurant to eat like this, you won't be recognized."
"Then, what do you want to eat later? Let's eat enough before returning to the palace." Li Luansong asked.
Shen Que thought for a while: "The pheasants from Tuweizhai, the cakes and candies from Pinxianglou, the sesame cakes from Liuji Cake Shop, and..."
There are too many, and here are all she wants to eat.
Li Luansong agreed, "If we can't finish it today, we'll eat it tomorrow, and then we'll eat it later, until we have enough."
Shen Que clapped his hands and cheered: "Okay, okay."
Xiao Liuzi also clapped her little hands.
Looking from a distance, it is really a harmonious and happy family.
At this time, an older couple appeared next to them. They were also dressed in coarse cotton clothes. They said: "Not only these, but also the roast goose from Shiweizhai and the pig's trotters from Luxiang Restaurant. They are all the best in the world." A unique dish.”
Li Luansong seemed to have met a close friend and said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, that pig's trotters cannot be more delicious. They are soft, glutinous and sweet, fat but not greasy."
After saying that, I felt that the voice sounded familiar, so I leaned around the big tree and looked over. The elderly couple was also looking over.
Facing those glaring eyes, Li Luansong said "ouch" and hurriedly pulled Shen Que to kneel down:
"Father, emperor, mother."
He didn't dare to speak anymore.
Emperor Xiaochun and the Empress then looked at each other and said angrily: "I knew you had to do this kind of thing. If we hadn't been superior and waited here, I might not have seen you in three to five days. "
"We haven't seen each other for how many days. As soon as I come back, I think about food first, and my parents don't want it." The queen hurriedly stepped forward to help Shen Que up, "Yu Yuan, thank you for your hard work."
The attitude was so different that Li Luansong rolled his eyes silently.
"Grandma Huang, Grandpa Huang."
Little Liuzi calls out in a babyish voice, her speech is unclear but very cute.
In an instant, the attention of Emperor Xiaochun and the Empress was attracted by this little doll. The Empress hurriedly hugged it and said painfully:
"Is this my eldest granddaughter? Oh, she looks so good. Look at that little mouth, it's so sweet."
"Quickly, let Grandpa Huang hug you." Emperor Xiaochun clapped his hands and took Liu Zi, "My little princess is so cute. She is much prettier than your father when he was a child."
The two of them walked while holding Liu Zi, completely forgetting about Li Luansong and Shen Que.
"Let's go back to the palace with Grandpa Huang. Your grandma Huang has prepared a lot of things for you, but she misses us so much."
Emperor Xiaochun was beaming with joy, so happy that all the people walking in the hall were trembling.
After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned back and said to Li Luansong:
"Hurry up and choose a day to ascend the throne, and hold your wedding together."
*
Finally, it was a good day for everyone to celebrate, and it was also the day that Emperor Xiaochun was most looking forward to - meeting the God of Wealth.
Although Shen Fu had served as an official in the court for a period of time, it was a relationship between emperor and minister, and the two children were having a quarrel at that time. Emperor Xiaochun was too embarrassed to take the initiative to approach Shen Fu. Now it was better, and he was finally able to come and propose marriage. It must have been a heavy betrothal gift, and all the good things from the old Li family were moved to the Shen Mansion.
"Your Majesty is too polite. This betrothal gift is too heavy." Shen Fu stood and saluted, very reserved.
"My father-in-law, please sit down. There is no Your Majesty here, only our parents are discussing marriage." Emperor Xiaochun laughed, "You don't know, my mother and I have been looking forward to this day till our necks grow long." .”
The queen covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you don't treat your relatives as outsiders. Come sit down and let's have a good chat."
The emperor and empress here are busy preparing for the wedding. They want the best in everything, a banquet for guests and a general amnesty for the world.
Over there, Li Luansong took some time off from his busy schedule and took Shen Que to visit Fangyuan Temple.
He said: "This is the first time the two of us were in the same room. Do you still remember, so I think this is our blessed place. Now that I finally married the girl of my dreams, I have to thank all the gods."
The two of them burned incense together, made wishes and kowtowed to the Buddha statue, being very pious and respectful.
After making a wish, Shen Que was about to leave but was grabbed by Li Luansong and asked, "What wish did you make?"
Shen Que said: "Good health and joy, and peace in the world. Where is Your Highness?"
"We are almost the same." Li Luansong hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's make a wish together. I heard that if you make the same wish at the same time, it will definitely come true."
"Come." He pulled Shen Que to kneel down again, "Follow me."
"I am Li Luansong."
"I am true."
"We will soon be married as husband and wife. I hope that we will be the only ones in this life. We are of the same mind, never abandon each other, and will always be together."
Shen Que did as he was told, and felt a sense of sweetness in his heart.
For him, there is only one person in this life, which seems impossible, but since he has this intention, Shen Que also feels that enough is enough, and we can talk about the rest later.
"Yuyuan, I, Li Luansong, will always listen to my wife and work hard for her..."
Shen Que quickly covered his mouth in shock: "Don't speak nonsense in front of the Buddha. I don't want His Highness to act like a cow and a horse. I want us to take care of each other and stay together for a lifetime."
They kowtowed respectfully and devoutly in front of the statue, and the wedding day came the next day.
Shen Que was wearing a phoenix crown and harem at home, and Zhang Chengru came to marry her as a sworn brother. Seeing her becoming more and more radiant, thinking that Shen Que would be the most noble woman in this country in the future, Zhang Chengru said with emotion:
"I really don't know what to say. I wish you peace, joy and success in your life."
Shen Que said: "Thank you, sworn brother."
The atmosphere was a bit awkward. Zhang Chengru sighed and said, "You should really thank me. It wasn't because I reconciled with you and you didn't have the rapid rise you have today."
Shen Que smiled: "It's great that my sworn brother has also learned to joke."
The atmosphere suddenly became festive. He walked forward, holding her red ribbon and sending her to the Luan Jie.
The ceremony was grand and solemn, with Li Luansong's enthronement ceremony at the front, and he was titled Emperor Chongli.
When Li Luansong stood on top of the crowd in royal robes and watched Shen Que walking towards him step by step, everything that had happened over the years was swirling in his mind. He finally married her, and he finally became the one she recognized. Husband.
That day, everyone saw the new emperor crying like a tearful man, with his mouth reaching behind his ears.
Mutam came to congratulate Shen Que and brought good news:
"Master, I am also getting married. The princess is a distant relative of the clan. She is very lively and cute."
Shen Que was overjoyed, "Your Majesty and I will definitely give you a great gift when the time comes."
Li Luansong looked at the two of them from a distance, then looked at Mutam's girlish shyness, and sneered: "Why is he here again?"
Then he saw Liang Fan, who was crying with excitement, and even sneered: "These two people are really annoying."
Your Majesty's jealousy has been overturned again.
The ceremony was formal, but the banquet was very casual and comfortable.
Li Luansong was afraid that Shen Chue would be tired, so he took her to the table to eat together: "This is my new rule. From now on, there will no longer be a rule in Daye that the bride will not have anything to eat on her wedding day."
This statement attracted all the noble ladies to clasp their hands: It seems that Your Majesty really knows how to show mercy to women. I really envy the Queen.
Not only Shen Que, but also Xiao Liuzi also shuttled between the tables and became the focus of everyone's eyes.
This little kid is already very skilled in walking, running and jumping. He doesn't recognize strangers when he sees them, and he always smiles with everyone.
Suddenly, Xiao Liuzi stopped and stared blankly at the person sitting at the table in front of him drinking.
In an instant, tears flowed out, and he ran over with his little arms open: "Dad, dad."
Everyone looked for his reputation and saw that he was a big man from the northwest.
father?
Chen Dagang took a sip of wine, spat it out, and quickly picked up Liu Zi who was running over. He wished he could cover his head and said:
"Princess, my aunt, please don't shout randomly."
Things happened very quickly. In an instant, Chen Da ran away with the child in his arms.
However, that clear "Dad" lingered in the hearts of every daughter: They all said that the emperor and the empress had a good relationship. From this point of view, there is no gap at all...
