Yang Ye's residence is in the northeast corner of Kaifeng, separated by two lanes, is the palace city. Although the environment is not as prosperous as that in Nancheng, it is peaceful and quiet. It's a small mansion, very simple in appearance.
The sun was getting darker, and snowflakes were flying in the dim sky. Feng Dao stepped out steadily in front of the mansion. Yang Ye followed him respectfully and escorted him out in person. He was wearing a light military uniform and looked extremely strong, but there was still a little confusion on his respectful face.
"Stay here!" Feng Dao glanced at Yang Ye, raised his hand to stroke the snowflakes on his beard, and said with a smile, the satisfaction in his eyes was beyond words.
"Master, go slowly!" Yang Ye remained polite.
He kept watching Feng Dao board the carriage with the help of his servants. The charioteer raised his whip and drove slowly, leaving two obvious ruts on the road that was not flat.
Frowning his eyebrows, the look of doubt on Yang Ye's face became even stronger. He was young and a martial artist, and had no connection with Feng Dao. This time, the old husband came to visit him personally and led him to ramble, which really made him confused. Especially the gentleness in Feng Dao's words and the joy in his eyes made him feel that he couldn't bear it.
"Ms. sir, what do you mean?" Unable to think of a reason, Yang Ye muttered, shaking his head and returning to the hall. The door of the mansion slowly closed, and not long after, it quickly opened again, and an angel arrived with a message of grace.
Then, a daughter-in-law came from the sky. Yang Ye was confused and then woke up, and he quickly realized that Feng Dao was looking at his grandson-in-law!
There is nothing much to say, so I should thank you.
The Zhe Mansion was selected by the Xuanhui envoy Li Ye according to the emperor's order. It was very luxurious and located on the southeast side of the imperial city in a good location.
The carriage entered the square from west to east and followed the narrow but straight road to the front of the mansion. Just as he stopped, a beautiful figure jumped down briskly. Miss Zhe was wearing red makeup, which also showed her beauty.
"How about going to the palace to see the Queen Mother? You didn't cause any trouble, right?" Facing his returning granddaughter, Zhe Congruan asked with a loving look.
After dinner, Miss Zhe patted her small chest and said with a frightened look: "The palace is too big, everyone has their heads lowered, it's too quiet, it makes people uncomfortable!"
"However, the Queen Mother is gentle and kind..."
Zhe Congruan smiled, but seeing the relaxed expression on her granddaughter's pretty face, she couldn't help but sigh: "When you enter the palace in the future, you should control your temper and not act arbitrarily."
Hearing this, the little lady folded her jade face slightly and couldn't help but look at her grandfather: "Do I really want to marry that emperor?"
"Our emperor is a great talent in the world, with heroic military plans and great achievements. Being able to serve by his side is better than marrying an ordinary person!" Zhe Congruan explained.
"Well..." Zhe Xiaoniang sighed, her meaning gloomy, and then hesitated a little: "Having said that, this emperor, well... is a little strange."
"Huh?" Zhe Congruan looked at her doubtfully.
Zhe Xiaoniang said: "When I resigned, I saw the emperor in the palace."
Seeing her look like this, Zhe Congruan hurriedly asked: "You didn't hit Yu Jia, did you?"
"No matter how reckless my granddaughter is, how can she be so ignorant of the importance of things?" Miss Zhe said coquettishly, sticking out her tongue.
"The emperor asked me to accompany him on a long journey, and asked me to tell him about the landscape and customs of his hometown..."
Ruan Zhecong looked at his granddaughter quietly and talked eloquently in front of him.
"..."
"By the way, before I left, I asked the emperor if I could go hunting on horseback if I entered the palace to marry her? Grandpa, what do you think he would have replied?"
Hearing this, Ruan Zhecong raised his eyebrows and asked, "How did the emperor answer you?"
Seeing her grandfather's calm look, Zhe Xiaoniang couldn't help but wonder: "My grandfather is not afraid that I will offend the emperor now? Will the emperor be angry?"
With a flattering look, Zhe Cong Ruan stroked his beard and said: "If the emperor is really angry because of a little girl like you, then he will not be able to support his actions. You will not behave like this in front of me. "
With a smile, Zhe Xiaoniang said excitedly: "The emperor said that I can drive the horses of the Royal Palace Flying Dragon Envoy, and I can gallop in the imperial gardens outside Kaifeng City..."
While Zhe Cong and Ruan's ancestors and grandsons were chatting, Liu Chengyou was also chatting with Queen Mother Li in the Renming Hall, and the atmosphere was good.
"I've seen that little girl from the Zhe family. She's a very good girl. She's mellow and simple, and her beauty is probably even better than that of Concubine Gao." Mrs. Li said.
Cooking on the fire with the Queen Mother, Liu Chengyou stuffed cakes into his mouth and said, "So, are you satisfied with that little lady?"
"Well!" Mrs. Li looked at her son: "The harem is indeed short of people. They are too busy with political affairs. State affairs are important, but having children and continuing the imperial line are equally important. It's time to add some new people."
"If you find a suitable meaning in the coming year, I will give you the decree to incorporate it into the palace!" Hearing this, Liu Chengyou said.
"Next year?" Li was a little confused.
"Dad has been lying in the palace for almost a year. I am an unfilial son!" Liu Chengyou sighed, leisurely: "After the beginning of spring, the funeral ceremony will be continued!"
Mentioning this, Li couldn't help but look sad.
Sensing that the atmosphere had turned cold, Liu Chengyou realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly changed the subject: "Sanlang has made a lot of progress recently. After opening the palace, he has become much more practical. According to reports from the palace officials, studying and practicing martial arts are not much better than before. Slouch.”
"Oh?" Mrs. Li was indeed interested: "These days, Sanlang has entered the palace, and there have indeed been quite a few changes..."
...
On the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month in winter, the last day of the first year of Qianyou, Liu Chengyou held a military parade in the north of the imperial city to review the results of the entire army. Although Liu Chengyou had often visited the military camp before to inspect and comfort him, this time the Forbidden Army made its official appearance after retraining.
Thirty thousand soldiers from the two yamen infantry troops came to see it. The troops were in good order and the momentum was huge. Liu Chengyou went in front of the three armies and preached loudly, causing the mountains to shout.
Several Jiedushi in Beijing came with him to consult. Previously, Liu Chengyou issued an edict to allow Zhujiedu to be in town, but the remaining three, Zhe, Li, and Wang, all chose to stay in Beijing silently and wanted to leave after the New Year.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he carried out some intimidation, even if he followed Ruan, he would be intimidated. In this era, to put it bluntly, we still have to rely on the army. No matter how much we say, it is not as strong as the fist and direct enough.
After inspecting the army and taking advantage of the opportunity to rest, Liu Chengyou summoned Yang Ye to the imperial court and praised him.
"Are you satisfied with the wife I chose for you?" Liu Chengyou showed a friendly expression.
All the procedures went very quickly, and Yang Ye and Feng's daughter were already married.
Upon hearing this, under Liu Chengyou's gaze, Yang Wudi, who was brave and skillful in fighting, felt a rare bit of embarrassment. He just bowed slightly reservedly again: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
Liu Chengyou said in an easy-going manner: "I promised you before that I would choose a good match for you, and I have kept my word, but I have kept you waiting for a long time..."
...
Until late at night, Liu Chengyou didn't sleep. He was alone on the imperial couch, and his mind was filled with the hardships of the past year, which were filled with sadness and hard-to-understand meaning. It wasn't until midnight that I fell into a deep sleep...
