Chapter 1379 Wedding Banquet in Guangde Hall

The night is like water, covering the earth like a huge tulle. The fifteenth day has passed, and the moon is no longer full. Its shape is like a bow, hanging in the sky.But the moonlight was still bright and shining in the Han Palace, but what was brighter than the moonlight had to be the lights in Guangde Palace.

The night wind in mid-spring was still slightly cold, but the long-lasting noise in Guangde Hall was enough to dispel it.The hall was brightly lit, with chanting of ceremonies and music, endless singing and dancing. The royal relatives of the big man, and the heroes and nobles were all immersed in this peaceful and comfortable atmosphere.

This is the wedding banquet of Princess Anping, but the protagonist is still Emperor Liu.While Emperor Liu was happy, the honorable ministers also unremittingly toasted, with words of blessing and compliments, and flocked to Emperor Liu free of money. become drunk.

Although his face was flushed, his mood became more and more cheerful. After such a long time, probably only marrying a daughter today made him the happiest.Even Liu Wenyuan, the five-year-old eldest grandson of the emperor, came to respect him with his calf in his hand, holding a small glass of wine. His clumsy performance made Emperor Liu overjoyed.

On a whim, Emperor Liu even came off the stage in person and danced a song in the hall.Emperor Liu was not talented in this area, and his dancing posture was even more chaotic and without aesthetic feeling, but the cheers and applause never stopped.

"This is really a shame!" Emperor Liu was self-aware, his figure swayed, his footsteps fluttered away from the center of the hall, and he smiled at the few people around him who were waiting attentively.

This is not easy to answer, and even Yan Tuo, who is good at flattering and flattering, has to think for a while, after all, Emperor Liu is not the kind of monarch who will be happy when he praises without thinking.

However, Emperor Liu obviously just said casually, turned his eyes, and walked towards Li Chuyun who was sitting on the seat.At this time, Li Chuyun was even older, and described as thin, that is, he was dressed in a festive manner, which barely concealed his morbidity, and he seemed to be full of energy, with the meaning of returning to life.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing Emperor Liu approaching, the Li family father and son hurriedly stood up to greet him.

"No!" Emperor Liu picked up the wine glass from the tray in Yantuo's hand, held Li Chuyun by the arm, and said with a smile, "Li Qing, after today, you and I will be relatives, let's have a drink together!"

"It should be, it should be! Your Majesty's kindness, I am so grateful, I should drink it!" Li Chuyun said with a look of honor.

"This marriage is not arranged by me. It is the princess who has taken a fancy to your husband. I have always loved this daughter, so I can only make it beautiful!" Emperor Liu smiled lightly.

After drinking the wine in the glass, Emperor Liu looked at Li Jilong who was a little reserved in front of him.The bright red groom's attire made Li Jilong, who is not particularly handsome, look handsome, and the addition of Princess Shang made him even more energetic.

But under Emperor Liu's scrutiny, Li Jilong was also a little uncomfortable, and his publicity after drinking quickly subsided.Emperor Liu reached out and patted Li Jilong on the shoulder, pretending to be stern and said: "Li Jilong, you are my first son-in-law, and Liu Jia is the jewel in my palm. There are so many young heroes, but you are the only one who has taken a fancy to you. You must be kind to me." Don't let her down. She has an upright temperament, and she is inevitably arrogant, so let her be more on weekdays."

Emperor Liu, at this moment, is an old father of a married woman, nagging non-stop, which made Li Jilong feel a little nervous.However, she still bowed her hands respectfully and said: "The princess is deeply affectionate, and I will not be able to repay her. I will not dare to treat you slowly. Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

"Haha!" Emperor Liu laughed a few times and toasted, and Weng and his son-in-law drank again.

"The little lady who has been raised for 18 years, just got married like this!" After leaving the banquet and returning to his seat, Emperor Liu couldn't help muttering.

Beside him, Concubine Fu Hui, who was supporting Emperor Liu, couldn't help smiling when she heard this, and said in a low voice: "Officials, there will come a day when the wedding has already been held, and it's still so delicious. Fortunately, I chose a good match for her." , bless them!"

Concubine Fu Hui is also dressed up today, although she is nearly forty years old, she is still unparalleled in beauty.As Liu Jia's biological mother, she was naturally happy. She also loved this daughter very much. You must know that in the early years, she relied on this daughter to win the favor of many Emperor Liu.

With a flick of his mouth, Emperor Liu stopped talking, and returned to sit down at the imperial case. Emperor Liu couldn't help but glanced at Li Jilong again, and saw that this kid started to drink with his honorable friend and the Ninth Prince Liu Shu and his brothers again.

"Go, let Li Jilong drink less, on the wedding night, do you want the princess to stay alone in the empty room?" Emperor Liu waved to Yantuo, and told him: "Let Liu Shu and those brothers restrain themselves, and Li Chuyun I'm in poor health, let others stop trying to persuade you to drink!"

"Yes! The officials care so much about the son-in-law's family, it's touching!" Yan Tuo responded, and hurried to give orders.

With the words of Emperor Liu, sure enough, no one tried to persuade the father and son to drink anymore, but there are quite a few people who felt that Emperor Liu cared for Li and his son. There is still an endless stream, and everyone knows in their hearts that the Li family will definitely be a noble family that can be counted among the big men in the future.

Inside Guangde Hall, cheers were like waves, but behind this joyful and peaceful atmosphere, there were also some gossips between cups and cups.

Seeing the old Li Chuyun's constant socializing, one of them couldn't help but said in a mocking tone: "I heard that the county magistrate Li is dying and suffering from serious illnesses, but I don't know how long he can last. If there is a happy event, there will be a funeral."

"Zhang Jin, shut up! What kind of place is this? What kind of occasion is this? You're allowed to make wild remarks. Do you want to take the blame?" The words fell, and before the others could react, Han Hui on one side He immediately scolded, his words were so harsh that Zhang Jin couldn't help knocking over the cup in his hand.

Facing Han Hui's gaze, the young man named Zhang Jin couldn't help but hesitate and wanted to refute, but he didn't dare to speak.Although he also came from an extraordinary background, there is no comparison with Han Hui.

Han Hui is not only the son of Han Tong, but also a political star in the current Han Dynasty, holding real power and trusted by the emperor.After so many years, no one dared to underestimate this slightly hunchbacked man among the second-generation nobles, and no one even dared to make fun of him behind his back, for fear of offending the Han family.

Therefore, under Han Hui's watchful eyes, the young nobleman named Zhang Jin felt ashamed for a while, but finally dared not stand up, and could only lower his posture and admit his mistake.

This turmoil, in the atmosphere of Guangde Hall, was just a slight ripple, but it also attracted the attention of some people.Not far away was the seat of Zhao Kuangyin's family. Zhao Kuangyin turned his head and asked Zhao Dezhao who was sitting on the side: "Who is the madman?"

"Wailang Zhang Jin, a member of the household department, is the grandson of Wangzhang, the Duke of Yu, and the son of Zhang Yisu, the envoy of Yantie!" Zhao Dezhao replied in a low voice.

Hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but shook his head, and sneered: "After being a hero, he came from a famous family, so he is so magnanimous! Today's young people really don't know the importance and awe!"

"Father, son, I heard that Zhang Jin was also selected by Princess Anping to choose a son-in-law. It seems that he failed to fulfill his wish, and he was not angry, so he didn't choose his words!" Zhao Dezhao said.

Zhao Kuangyin was still disdainful, even disdainful to make further comments, and asked Zhao Dezhao: "Do you have any contact with this person on weekdays?"

Zhao Dezhao replied honestly: "Some communication, but not familiar!"

Nodding his head, Zhao Kuangyin immediately confessed: "From now on, stay away from this generation!"

"Yes!" Zhao Dezhao was very obedient.

On the side, Zhao Kuangyi, who was sitting in a slightly proud posture, glanced over there contemptuously, and raised his glass to Zhao Kuangyin: "This kind of people, who speak abusive words just for the sake of a moment, offend the Li family, if they don't know how to restrain themselves, they will sooner or later It’s not worth mentioning that you will get your guilt. Second brother, I offer you a toast!”

Zhao Kuangyin raised his glass, looked at his younger brother who was becoming more and more powerful and established, and said with satisfaction: "Okay! Drink this cup to the full! After returning to court, you and my brothers have not had time to drink, so we will borrow the princess wedding wine and drink freely." One time!"

"Please!"

It was only a few days since Zhao Kuangyi returned to Luoyang. In recent years, he has been working in Annan, and the two brothers have not seen each other for many years.This time he returned to the court, but because of his outstanding achievements, it was time for a promotion. The 33-year-old Zhao Kuangyi continued to climb towards the peak of his official career with a steady pace.

"It's a pity that my niece married into the East Palace, and my uncle, I, couldn't catch up. Otherwise, I would definitely give a generous gift!" After the two brothers finished drinking, Zhao Kuangyi said, looked at the polite Zhao Dezhao, and said in a low voice: " Second brother, I think that Dezhao can also go to fight, let our Zhao family also produce a son-in-law!"

Hearing what he said, Zhao Kuangyin glanced at him, and said lightly: "This kind of thing, you have to follow the fate, the nobles are not what we courtiers can expect!"
