The sixth day of the third lunar month is a good day for wearing hairpins and getting married.
Today is the day when the daughter of the Zhao family comes out of the palace.
Regarding Zhao Qingman, although Xiao Yuan did not have the grand ceremony of marrying his first wife, he also did not send her directly to the harem to serve in the harem like a king's beauty pageant. Instead, he announced the matter with a royal edict.
This is equivalent to giving Zhao Qingman a certain status, but obviously, it is impossible for her to become a princess, and at most she will only be named a beauty.
Even so, she was the royal wife with a good reputation. After hearing the news, Zhao Yuanliang was extremely excited.
At this time, the Zhao Mansion was even more lively. In front of the mansion, it was like a market. There were countless dignitaries coming to congratulate him.
Among them, there are many big businessmen who had a grudge with Zhao Yuanliang in the past, and they came uninvited.
The servants in the mansion were busy, and the housekeeper was also busy greeting the guests. Zhao Yuanliang even stood at the door of the mansion in person, cupping his hands at the visitors from time to time, grinning from ear to ear.
"Congratulations, congratulations, Mr. Zhao..."
"Ah, please come quickly..."
The scene was lively. Today, the Zhao Mansion was full of guests. Whether they were acquainted or not, or even knew each other, they all wanted to come and make friends.
Not long after, his old business rival Shen Pei also appeared.
This person was one of the four merchants in Qinzhou. With the founding of Qin, his business grew bigger and bigger. If the Zhao family is the largest family, then the strength of the Shen family is actually not inferior to that of the Qin family. How much.
From the bottom of his heart, Shen Pei naturally didn't want to come, and he was extremely jealous, but he had no choice. The Zhao family was now in power. If he didn't take advantage of this to ease the relationship between the two parties, he might not have a good life in the future.
Zhao Yuanliang was extremely proud to see him, but he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and said with a smile, "Oh, Brother Shen is so happy to come to my humble home."
"Brother Zhao is so lucky, congratulations." Shen Pei could only forcefully smile and say with cupped hands.
"Where is it? Brother Shen, please."
After sending him into the house, the housekeeper of Zhao Mansion also came over and said: "Master, this Shen family has always been against us. I didn't expect that he would come to the door today. We didn't invite him. It's true."
"Huh? This person is a guest." Zhao Yuanliang was so happy that he couldn't help but sigh: "Human relationships in the world are just like this. I miss Shen Pei. He used to unite businessmen and tried to defeat our Zhao family several times. Now, Well, hum…”
In the mansion, after Shen Pei came in, he quickly met many old acquaintances. Everyone was a wealthy businessman. They gathered together and couldn't help but start talking in twos and threes.
Someone whispered: "Brother Shen, we have had many grudges with the Zhao family in the past. Now, the daughter of the Zhao family has married into the royal family. From now on, if Mr. Zhao relies on the power of the royal family, I am afraid that we will stay in Qinzhou." I can’t go down anymore.”
"Huh? You are worrying too much. We are all serious businessmen. Even if the king wants to suppress him, there must be a suitable reason..."
"Old Zhao is very lucky..."
"I have a good daughter, who has been wronged? Forget it, let's not talk about it..."
By noon, the entire Zhao Mansion was already full of guests, and everywhere was filled with laughter, and the sound of glasses being exchanged.
In the main hall, the people hosting the banquet were either Zhao Yuanliang's friends or people like Shen Pei, almost all of whom were wealthy businessmen.
Every industry has its own circle.
Now that the Zhao family is overjoyed, Shen Pei was the first to pick up the wine glass and greeted everyone: "Come, let's toast Mr. Zhao together and congratulate him on today's happiness."
"Together we respect Mr. Zhao" and people held cups.
Zhao Yuanliang was so happy that he opened his mouth from ear to ear and quickly said: "You're welcome, everyone is welcome, we all drink together, drink together, if there is any inappropriate greeting, please forgive me..."
After finishing a glass of wine, Shen Pei also rolled his eyes and said: "Mr. Zhao, recently, I and you have been discussing the Qinzhou Chamber of Commerce, and we want to recommend Mr. Zhao as the president of the chamber of commerce. I don't know. What does Mr. Zhao think?"
Hearing this, Zhao Yuanliang immediately became nervous. Of course he knew about the Chamber of Commerce and had been coveting it for a long time. Now when he heard Shen Pei mention it, although he was very excited in his heart, he still said on his face:
"Haha, thank you for your support, but I am so virtuous and capable that I can take on such a big responsibility..."
"Oh, Mr. Zhao, among all of you here, besides you, who else has this qualification?" someone said.
"Yes, Mr. Zhao, the matter of the Chamber of Commerce is recognized by everyone, so you must not refuse it." Someone else said.
oops! Hearing what they said, Zhao Yuanliang could no longer hold back at this time, "Then, I would rather obey your orders than be respectful..."
"Ah, that's great. It's an honor for us to have Mr. Zhao in charge of the Chamber of Commerce..."
"Come, let's toast to the president again..."
"Haha! Okay, okay, everyone please..."
This banquet made Zhao Yuanliang extremely happy. It was probably the longest time in his life.
After the banquet, his face was red from drinking. When he walked back, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Having a good son-in-law is really better than anything else. With this relationship alone, he can take advantage of the situation at will. .
The Zhao family's side was full of celebrations, but the palace's side did not do much, and only went through some simple etiquette.
That night, Prince Qin’s Mansion.
In the room, Zhao Qingman, wearing a bright red wedding dress and a red hijab, was sitting quietly by the bed.
Not long after, the door opened and she heard footsteps. She felt nervous and her little hands couldn't help but clenched tightly together.
Xiao Yuan had drunk a little bit of wine, but he was only slightly tipsy. After sitting down next to her, he reached out and gently opened the red cloth.
Zhao Qingman first moved her beautiful eyes and glanced at him secretly, then lowered her head shyly, her face red.
She has a beautiful face, and when dressed up as a bride, with light makeup and exquisite makeup, she is even more charming.
Xiao Yuan's heart moved slightly, and he leaned over and gently pressed her onto the bed.
"Your Majesty..."
After a while, some kind of low and melodious voice came out.
Early the next morning.
Zhao Qingman hugged Xiao Yuan tightly, resting her little head on his shoulder, full of happiness.
She woke up first and was secretly looking at Xiao Yuan.
Not long after, Xiao Yuan also hugged her white and tender shoulders closer to him, and at the same time chuckled: "What? Is there a flower on my face?"
"Ah? The king is awake..." The sudden voice made Zhao Qingman whisper softly subconsciously, and then her beautiful eyes dodge, and her face turned red. After the wedding night, she was having sex for the first time, and she seemed a little shy.
But despite this, she hugged Xiao Yuan tightly, her little head still leaning on him, with no intention of letting go.
"Okay, it's almost morning time." Xiao Yuan said softly and patted her exposed shoulders.
Zhao Qingman was a little reluctant to give up.
