4 Chapter 3 Welcome

"What's wrong with this mouth? This mouth is a treasure. The lawyer in the entire Yuezhou Prefecture can't tell me!" Zhao Xi said proudly, "Just watch. One day I will be able to talk about myself into the Shangshu Province and become the prime minister. When I am old, I will be granted the title of the three dukes and three orphans. After my death, I will be posthumously named as the No. saint of ancient and modern times."

Lou Jing endured the pain in his chest, and clenched his fist with one hand against his lips and coughed lightly, "Well, I have ambition, I just want to be the number one sage in ancient and modern times, you have to convince someone first."

"Who?" Zhao Xi immediately became interested.

"Mage Ningxin, Qinglian Temple in the east of the city." Lou Jing said mysteriously.

"Ah?" Zhao Xi was stunned for a moment, then curled his lips, "Qinglian Temple is a nun temple, why should I meet an old nun?"

"You don't understand this..." Lou Jing raised his eyebrows, hooked his fingers and let Zhao Xi's ears come over.

"This is fun!" Zhao Xi couldn't help but open his mouth and then frowned again, "I will take the exam next year, and you don't say you can persuade me to study, just let me do these unethical things. What if I can't pass the exam?"

Lou Jing glanced at him and bounced his head heavily, "If you can't pass the exam, you can go to the East Palace to be your father-in-law. This princess will definitely be named as a chief supervisor!"

Zhao Xi held his head, and Gao Yi grabbed the collar and lifted it over the courtyard wall again. While stretching the collar, he thought about which one is better to be a father-in-law or the top scorer in the exam. Suddenly, he remembered that he was here to ask Lou Jing about getting married, so why was he thrown out like this?

"Criminal, the old nun Ning Xin came again this morning, and she only sat in the upper yard for a cup of tea." Xunxia brought a bowl of medicine and whispered to the person on the bed.

Lou Jing nodded with a smile. Seeing the bitter medicine in Xunxia's hand, the smile on his lips immediately stiffened, "I'm trauma, and drinking medicine is useless."

"No," Xunxia stuffed a small medicine bowl the size of a palm into Lou Jing's hand. "The seventh guard said that the prince was also injured internally. If he didn't drink the medicine, he would vomit blood."

What kind of messy medical theory? Lou Jing curled his lips, but facing Xun Xia's eyes that were eyeing him and could turn into tears at any time, he had to swallow it with anger. It's a pity that he was not afraid of since childhood, but was afraid of the bitterness of this medicine. He was really a hero who was bullied by a maid.

The days go by day, from August 17th to September 2nd, it was just a blink of an eye, and the time was so short that it was not enough for Lou Jing to recover from his injuries.

When Duke Anguolou saw Yu coming up with this idea, he didn't expect that the emperor would set his life so tightly. He thought that the royal family would choose to marry in the spring of next year. Even if he was anxious, it would take three months, but who knew that it would only be half a month. If that kid made a bad luck at the wedding, he would not be able to take it.

"You can take this, if you can't hold on, just eat one," Lou Jianyu threw a small bottle of mutton fat jade to Lou Jing, who was dressed in a bright red wedding dress. Seeing that he had a cold face and didn't say the word "Thank you", he was so angry that he was so angry that he thought about today's happy day, and he held back. "Marrying in the palace is a royal family. Remember, if you do something wrong, it's not just a shame for you, and the entire Anguo Duke's Mansion will suffer."

After Duke An Guo left, Lou Jing turned the small jade bottle in his hand and poured out a pill to sniff it. It was the same medicine as the bottle in the dark. He couldn't help but sneer. The medicine that seemed to be effective immediately was mostly harmful to people, and this kind of medicine was even more harmful to people. If you eat too much, you will not easily eat it on the battlefield. Besides, my father just told him not to show off when he bowed, so he never thought that the prince would not see it when he entered the bridal chamber? What should he do then?

Whether it is a small family or a noble family, marriage is very grand, and the prince’s marriage is even more complicated.

The day before the wedding, the Ministry of Rites and people from the palace came to arrange the arrangements, setting up a secondary office outside the gate of the Duke of Anguo Mansion. The prince's plane was south, and the officials of the East Palace were on the east and west sides for the officials of the East Palace to congratulate the prince when he welcomed the bride. The eunuch sent the eunuch of the Sili to teach the etiquette of Lou Jing's wedding ceremony. The prince's ceremony of taking concubines was the same as the emperor's emperor's ceremony. You can imagine the cumbersomeness of this.

With Lou Jing's current health, he was already a little overwhelmed after the wedding day before the wedding. He had to get up early the next day, and his face became worse and worse. However, the prince had to marry a male concubine, so he could only ask the eunuch to help him sort out his appearance. The person assigned to him was the chief eunuch Chen Lian, the director of the eunuch.

During the ten years of Emperor Chunde's reign, the power of the eunuch province has been expanding repeatedly. Now the eunuch supervisors are even more than the left and right prime ministers. The eunuchs are cruel and moody, so Lou Jing has to take up a 120,000-point spirit to deal with Chen Lian.

Chen Lian is now in his forties, but he is nourished by glory and wealth. He looks at his still young and slightly thin white face, and he smiles a little coldly.

"As such trivial matters, I have to trouble Mr. Chen to come in person." Lou Jing stood up and greeted Chen Lian.

"The prince married the official concubine, so our family naturally has to come and enjoy the joy," Chen Lian replied with a smile. Seeing that his face was not good, he hurriedly reached out to help him, "There are many big ceremonies, thank you for your hard work."

Lou Jing did not avoid Chen Lian's hand reaching over at all, and even leaned towards him a little, letting his hands touch the sleeves, which made Chen Lian's smile deeper.

The eunuchs have defects. These noble children who are above the top have always looked down on eunuchs. However, in recent years, the power of the eunuchs and provincial governments has been growing, forcing those people to bow their heads. However, some small things still inevitably show contempt for eunuchs. Like Lou Jing, who treats civil servants without any pretentious behavior, will naturally win the favor of Chen Lian.

The two of them talked and laughed, looking at the harmony, but they only made Lou Jing miserable. If someone else came, they could lie down for a while. Chen Lian could only stand here.

Finally, it was time to welcome the bride. The prince dismounted and was worshipped by the officials of the East Palace outside the door, while Lou Jing bid farewell to his parents in the house.

When Lou saw Yu and Wei sitting in the main hall, the joy on his face could not be covered. Wei was wearing the imperial uniform of the first-rank lady, and his young face was radiant. She was only twenty-three years old this year, and was only six years older than Lou Jing. Because she was a re-string, her honor could not exceed Lou Jing's mother, and she could not be awarded the first-rank lady, and she could only be awarded the first-rank lady.

Lou Jing stood in the middle of the main hall, looking at Wei, who was sitting in the mistress's seat for granted, glanced at the empty sandalwood table between the two, and smiled and said, "I am very happy today. Why didn't I invite my mother's tablet? How can my son bid farewell to his parents?"

Wei's smile as bright as spring flowers immediately froze on his face. Seeing Yu was also stagnant, Lou immediately said in anger: "Your mother is sitting here, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"On a happy day, don't scare your son. My mother has passed away for more than five years. How could she sit here?" Lou Jing widened his eyes, looking very surprised, and said to the butler standing beside him, "Why don't you go and invite your mother's tablet to come."

When Wei passed by, he could have called him mother, but this stepmother never gave him a good face since he entered the door, so he didn't look like a mother at all. Therefore, today, Lou Jing just called her wife.

Outside the main hall, the prince had already entered the door, and the minister stood on the east side of the main hall, singing loudly: "I dare to ask for trouble."

A calm and clear voice responded: "Xiao Chengjun is in charge of welcome to the bride."

Before we bid farewell in the room, everyone was so anxious that they were walking around. Lou Jing just stood in the middle leisurely, looking at Lou Jianyu angrily and asked someone to invite the tablet. Looking at Wei's innocent face, the pain seemed to have been relieved a lot.

When the tablet was invited, the prince outside the door had already taken the geese from the courtier's hand and handed it to the host. In the past, the host could take it with his chest raised, but the groom was the crown prince, so the host had to kneel down. The host took it on his knees and answered, and the prince bowed to thank him before he could get up. In this way, time just enough for Lou Jing to finish his parents' kneeling and cover his veil.

In the entire Dayu Dynasty, only the emperor and the prince can marry men. Therefore, except for the dresses that are all men's dresses, most of the etiquette is similar to those of men and women, and even as a wife, they have to cover their heads. This is convenient for Lou Jing. After all, his half-dead body must have a scary face after a lot of trouble. After leaving this main hall, it would be embarrassing to lose the royal family.

When the prince got married, he wore a yellow-bottomed gauze robe, which means he had to cover a bright red wide-sleeved gauze over the apricot yellow dress. After Xiao Chengjun entered the door, Lou Jing could only see a corner of the hem from under the veil. Other matters could be solved one by one. Lou Jing had made up his mind about the matters of the Lou family and the court affairs these days, but how to get along with the prince. He thought about it for half a month, but he didn't think of it.

Xiao Chengjun and Lou Jing bid farewell to their parents together. The two separated and did not contact each other. The marriage partner sang a peace. Wei forced a smile and said, "Listen to the parents' words", and then the person greedy for Lou Jing to get on the sedan chair.

The royal sedan chair was like a small house, with thick red silk cushions carefully laid on it. Even so, Lou Jing still felt so painful that he could sweat coldly when he sat on it. He could only take one pill a day, and the effect of the medicine was not long. He had to wait until he got off the sedan chair to support his movements when he worshiped the world. At this moment, he could only think of something else to divert the pain.

Prince Xiao Chengjun is the same age as him. When his mother was alive, she took him to the palace to play. When several princes stood together, people would notice the prince at first glance, not only because he was wearing apricot yellow clothes, but also because of his serious and noble face, which formed a sharp contrast with other princes. So when you were young, you knew that joy and anger were not as good as you look at. How could you be the prince's prince who had nothing outstanding in everyone's eyes?

"This... for you..." In my memory, a white and tender little hand handed him a silk candy that was about the size of the palm of his hand, and his little face was still tight. The hand was soft, especially like the little rabbit steamed bun that my mother pinched for him during the Chinese New Year, with a warm and warm aroma of milk.

I don’t know what Xiao Chengjun looks like now, but he still has dark eyes like he did when he was a child...

The sedan stopped and while the red arrow shot the sedan chair, Lou Jing swallowed a pill.

The curtain of the sedan chair was lifted and someone helped him walk down. It was not as lively as an ordinary family when they were married. The royal wedding was quiet and solemn. The drums and music started, and the person who supported him retreated to both sides. A slender, fair and well-proportioned hand was handed over.
