As the hall manager of this wedding, Zhao Wenyi's mood was very complicated, because before the wedding, he got news from the gossip that his father was going to announce the heir to the throne at the wedding, and this heir was, not surprisingly, Ting.
elder sister.
Zhao Wenyi was absolutely unconvinced by his father's decision, but he knew very well that as long as it was decided by his father, it could not be changed under normal circumstances. When it came to ability, he felt that except for Zhao Wenqiang and a few others, no one could compare.
If you get him, logically speaking, he should be the heir to the throne no matter what.
So Zhao Wenyi decided to end it today. If his father wanted to announce the heir to the throne today, then he would rebel and seize the throne.
People with troops have been ambushed outside the palace. As long as the father dares to declare the heir, he will seize power immediately.
Thinking of this, Zhao Wenyi became excited. Looking at the busy maids and eunuchs in the hall, Zhao Wenyi thought proudly that these people might want to call him king after a while.
Zhao Wenqiang walked to Zhao Wenyi and coughed twice. The latter came back to his senses and asked, "What's the matter with you?"
Zhao Wenqiang smiled slightly and said: "I got a piece of gossip, do you want to listen to it?"
"No need~ Most of the gossip is just rumors. Those who spread rumors should not be hated. Those who spread rumors will be hated to the core."
Zhao Wenqiang clicked his tongue twice, shook his head and said: "Zhao Wenyi, you talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality very well. It's okay if you don't listen, but don't regret it~~"
Zhao Wenyi frowned: "Then tell me~"
Zhao Wenqiang grinned and whispered: "I heard that my father will announce the heir to the throne at Sister Ting's wedding."
Zhao Wenyi raised his eyebrows slightly and asked with a sneer: "Why, do you think it's you?"
"No, no, no, actually, I'm not interested in the throne." Zhao Wenqiang curled his lips, "Of course, if it could be me, I would do my part, right? You seem very promising."
Zhao Wenyi didn't say anything, but his heart was filled with joy because of Zhao Wenqiang's words. Although he understood that Zhao Wenqiang's words were not sincere, he still liked the good words.
"Haha, no one can say anything about this kind of thing."
"I also heard that my father plans to pass the throne directly to Sister Ting. Oh, if that's the case, that guy from Wan Shanhe will become a prince. It will really be an advantage for him."
"Hmph, Sister Ting is a woman, what does she want to be?" Zhao Wenyi sneered.
"Oh, that's what I'm saying. Even if it's not Sister Ting, my father has so many sons, and there are definitely not just one or two who are capable, right?"
What Zhao Wenqiang said is true. In addition to him and Zhao Wenyi, Zhao Yuntai also has many capable sons. Different from Zhao Wenyi and Zhao Wenqiang, these sons usually live in a low-key and low-key manner, but no one can tell.
People have no desire to be kings.
"Maybe my father will joke again this time~" Zhao Wenyi said, "My father is already over 200 years old. Once upon a time, he wanted to give up the throne many times, but he never gave up in the end, so I can't say it this time."
Zhao Wenqiang chuckled: "I don't think so. If you have the ability, you can ask your father to abdicate."
Zhao Wenyi stared: "What, you want to rebel?"
Zhao Wenqiang waved his hands repeatedly in surprise: "No, I'm not like you. You still have some military power. Even if I have the courage, I don't have the ability."
"Are you saying that I want to rebel?" Zhao Wenyi said unhappily.
"Haha, I didn't say that, but if you really want to do this, I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible. Why? Because based on the experience of my father's life of more than two hundred years, his previous sons,
I must have done similar things, but didn’t they all come to nothing in the end?”
Zhao Wenyi snorted and said nothing. After Zhao Wenqiang walked away, he began to mutter in his heart.
Although what Zhao Wenqiang said is a bit harsh, it is true. Considering that my father has lived for more than 200 years, he must have encountered this kind of thing several times. If this is really the case,
Zhao Wenyi dragged his chin and thought for a while, and finally decided to keep the original plan unchanged.
Because there is only one chance. If you miss this time, you will never have such an opportunity again.
Ma Xiaoquan brought the sedan chair carrying Princess Ting to the front of the hall. All the officials had been waiting for them for a long time. When they saw the new couple coming, all the officials came forward to congratulate them.
Because Ma Xiaoquan was holding a long bamboo pole and a leek in his hand, he could not free his hands to return the gift, so he could only nod his head.
The sedan chair stopped at the gate of the main hall. At this time, Ma Xiaoquan could hand the long bamboo pole and leeks in his hand to the accompanying servants. He stepped forward and opened the curtain of the sedan chair, and picked up Princess Ting sideways.
"Oh, please put me down quickly, I'm so embarrassed," Princess Ting said with some struggle.
"Don't move. According to custom, the bride cannot touch the ground before the wedding. I will carry you in and let you down when the ceremony is underway~"
Under the red veil, although Princess Ting knew the etiquette, she still felt very embarrassed. Fortunately, with the veil, at least others could not see her embarrassment.
"Okay~" Princess Ting agreed happily, and at the same time sighed in her heart. She knew that she was not the woman this man loved, but if she could treat her like this, it would be possible for this man to fall in love with her.
"Okay, let's go then~" Ma Xiaoquan said, and with a little force, he carried Princess Ting into the hall.
Zhao Yuntai sat on the throne and watched Ma Xiaoquan walking towards him with his daughter in his arms. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. All the officials were present, but this boy had no scruples? But whatever, maybe it was because of this boy's behavior.
Only then did he feel that there would be nothing wrong in entrusting his daughter to him.
Ma Xiaoquan walked closer with Princess Ting in his arms and slowly put her down.
The two of them faced Zhao Yuntai together, knelt down slowly, and bowed three times and bowed nine times. Then they stood up and saluted the officials. The officials followed the rules and congratulated Princess Ting and the Prince Consort on their wedding.
At this time, Yue'er's classical music sounded in the hall, and along with the beautiful music, Zhao Yuntai first toasted to the newlyweds and officials in a unified manner.
Just as Baiguan drank his glass of wine, a deep man's voice suddenly came from outside the hall.
"The King of Yue and his prince wish Princess Ting a happy wedding!!"
Zhao Yuntai frowned and thought to himself that he had never invited King Yue and Prince Ling to the wedding banquet. How did they come?
At the entrance of the main hall, a tall man and several maids walked across the door and walked slowly.
After taking just two steps, several guards pointed their spears at the tall man.
The man just rolled his eyelids, but instead of panicking, he said calmly: "Your Majesty's daughter is getting married, but you didn't invite King Yue and Prince Ling. This makes them very disappointed in Your Majesty."
Zhao Yuntai sneered: "The loser is not qualified!"
"Haha, a loser has no qualifications. Anyway, I, Gao Bin, come here on behalf of the King of Yue and Prince Ling to congratulate you and the two newlyweds on their happy wedding!"
After saying that, Gao Bin clapped his hands, and the maid behind him stepped forward from his side and presented the tray in her hands.
Don't hit the smiling man. Although Zhao Yuntai doesn't like King Yue and Prince Ling, since they sent people to congratulate them, there is no reason to stop them.
"Come here, show me your seat to Master Gao~" Zhao Yuntai ordered.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Gao Bin smiled and walked towards the seat assigned to him, but the expression on his face was very disdainful.
Ma Xiaoquan noticed Gao Bin and felt a little unhappy in his heart. After all, today is his wedding day, and you burst in so suddenly to congratulate him. Even if your Majesty doesn't tell you, I still want to make a scene.
Thinking of this, Ma Xiaoquan suddenly asked Gao Bin: "Hey? Is your name Gao Bin? Why haven't I seen you before in Heiqing Country?"
Gao Bin was just about to sit down when Ma Xiaoquan asked. He was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Oh, Prince Consort, oh no, Prince Consort, I am a retainer of the King of Yue, so I have never served in the Heiqing Court, so I don't know the Prince Consort."
Normal.”
Ma Xiaoquan exclaimed: "Then why did I hear that King Father (Zhao Yuntai) didn't seem to have a banquet with King Yue and Prince Ling? You guys came uninvited, so you are pretty well informed?"
Gao Bin chuckled: "Where is the king? Your Majesty is the unified king. The Prince Consort is the heir apparent of the mountains and rivers of the Heiqing Kingdom and the nephew of the King of Heiqing. The King and the King of Yue are brothers of the same clan, so the Prince Consort is also the King of Yue.
He is my nephew. Besides, the Heiqing Kingdom and the United Unification are not separated. No matter what the relationship is between here and abroad, everyone should come to congratulate them. As for coming uninvited, hey, it must be that the king of Yue and Prince Ling are too busy with their affairs.
Excuse me"
Ma Xiaoquan frowned slightly, thinking that Gao Bin's words were really coincidental. Firstly, he explained to all the officials present their relationship with each other, making everyone feel that since they were all relatives, there was nothing wrong with walking around to congratulate him. Secondly, he even disguised himself as a general.
The King of Yue and Prince Ling praised him, saying that this guy is a thief.
"Haha, in that case, I should have known that I should invite King Yue and Prince Ling," Ma Xiaoquan said to smooth things over.
"Everyone is busy everywhere. As long as your Majesty and the Prince Consort don't dislike it, the King of Yue and Prince Ling can do whatever they want."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded, turned around and looked at Zhao Yuntai, saying, I'm at my wits end, it's up to you.
Zhao Yuntai understood and smiled and said to Gao Bin: "But I have to admire how well King Yue and Prince Ling master the information~"
Gao Bin stood up, picked up a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your compliment, it doesn't really matter. After all, this news spread in the floating city seven days ago. It is right to know, and it should be~~"
"Haha, Mr. Gao is really good at talking. Come on, let me toast you~ um~~ Shanhe, you and Ting'er, please give a toast to Mr. Gao too~"
Ma Xiaoquan and Princess Ting responded in unison: "Yes, father~"
