The day before the wedding, Zhang Xingzhou's congratulatory gift was delivered to the capital, and a letter was also sent with the congratulatory gift.
He apologized to Chu Zhao in the letter, saying that Liangzhou was remote and full of waste. As the commander-in-chief of Liangzhou, he really didn’t have any good gifts to give, so he could only make them with a few fox skins he hunted last winter. I bought two fox fur cloaks and gave them to the two newlyweds to express their feelings.
He also said that the weather in Liangzhou has turned cold, and it will probably get cold in the capital soon. After a while, this cloak can be used to keep out the cold. I hope that when the king puts on the cloak, he will think of the distant frontier, and there is another Such an old friend of mine.
Chu Zhao has received many expensive wedding gifts these days, most of which are gold and jade jewelry and expensive furnishings. In comparison, Zhang Xingzhou's two fox fur cloaks are nothing, but they make her the happiest and most precious. Heartwarming.
She stroked the smooth fur and remembered the first time she met Zhang Xingzhou in Shuzhou, and she had mixed feelings in her heart.
She thought that it was lucky that she escaped to Shuzhou that time, otherwise she would have missed a good general and a close friend.
She knew that Liangzhou was really in dire straits and needed money right now. After accepting the gifts, she asked Xu to go back to the treasury and pay 10,000 taels of silver notes to be taken back to the messengers who came to deliver the gifts, so that they could pass on the message. To Zhang Xingzhou, if you don't have money, just ask, don't make yourself miserable. She and Xiao Chi will go to Liangzhou to see him in a while.
The messenger from Liangzhou had just been sent away, and the steward of Jingnan Palace also came to see him, saying that the prince had prepared a congratulatory gift before leaving, and asked him to deliver it to the king at that time.
Chu Zhao looked at the beautifully decorated rectangular gift box held in the butler's hand, thinking it was a sword or a scroll, but when he opened it, he found it was a whip.
To be precise, it was a riding crop made of gold.
As soon as Chu Zhao opened the box, he was dazzled by the bright yellow light. He held it in his hand and waved it, wondering whether to laugh or cry: "What does your prince mean? Why did you give me a riding crop?"
The butler replied: "Your Majesty said that Your Majesty is a heroine who can conquer mountains and rivers on horseback. I hope this riding whip can accompany Your Majesty all over the world, and at the same time... at the same time..."
The housekeeper's face turned red and he couldn't say anything else.
"At the same time?" Chu Zhao asked curiously.
The housekeeper had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "If General Xiao disobeys, the king can, um... use it to tame his husband, um, that is, what... the pleasure of the boudoir..."
Chu Zhao: "..."
What the hell?
Murong Xiao's grandson actually also learned badly.
"Very good, very good. Thank your prince for me, and just say that I like it very much." Chu Zhaoqiang said calmly, determined not to show any discomfort in front of the housekeeper.
The housekeeper agreed, kowtowed and left as if running away.
Before Chu Zhao had time to put away the whip, Xiao Chi happened to come in from the outside and saw Chu Zhao holding a shiny object in his hand. He walked over and asked curiously: "What is that?"
Chu Zhao: "...horse whip, a wedding gift from Murong Xiao."
Xiao Chi frowned: "What do you mean? Why do you need to give a riding whip as a wedding gift?"
Chu Zhao didn't know how to explain it, so he shook the whip and lightly slapped him on the waist: "That's what it means, it's for taming husbands."
Xiao Chi: "..."
What the hell?
Isn't the grandson too bad?
Can you only tame your husband, but not your wife?
The atmosphere in the palace became inexplicably ambiguous because of a riding crop. When both of them were blushing, Xu Hui also came in holding a box.
Chu Zhao hurriedly put the riding whip into the box and put it away.
"What is this?" Xiao Chi looked at the box in Xu Hui's hand and blurted out, "Isn't it also a riding whip?"
"What riding whip?" Xu Hui was confused, "This is a list of congratulatory gifts from all the officials in the court. I have already counted them and asked the king to take a look."
Chu Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and stretched out his hand to him with a smile: "I like to receive gifts the most. Let me see what good things everyone has given me."
Xu Hui handed her the box, but he was still thinking about the riding whip. He turned to ask Xiao Chi, "What did the general just say about the riding whip?"
"It's nothing." Xiao Chi glanced at Chu Zhao, holding back a smile and waving his hands.
This is a secret between the two of them and cannot be told to anyone else.
The gift list was too long. Chu Zhao lost patience after looking at it for a while, so he closed it and handed it back to Xu: "Okay, you can keep it and look at it when I'm free."
"Okay." Xu replied, took the order and put it away, bowed and said: "Everything is ready now, just waiting for the general to come to the palace tomorrow to welcome the bride. I would like to wish your majesty and the general a happy wedding in advance. Let's grow old together in harmony and beauty."
He was suddenly so serious, which made Chu Zhao feel sad. He stood up and walked around the desk, walked to him, and helped him up with his own hands.
"Xu Hui..."
She called his name and wanted to thank him, but the words came to her lips but she couldn't.
Compared with Xu Hui's contribution to her, a thank you was too light, but she couldn't give anything else.
She wanted to tell him that if she met the right person, she might as well try a new life, but this was really cruel and she wasn't sure whether she could say it.
"Xu Hui..."
She called him again, still not knowing what to say.
There were tears in Xu Hui's eyes, but he smiled gently at her: "Your Majesty, there is no need to say more. I understand in my heart that your Majesty will always be your Majesty, and I will always be your most loyal minister."
Chu Zhao couldn't help but burst into tears. In the end, he didn't say anything, stretched out his arms and gave him a hug.
Xu Hui froze, almost losing control, and his throat felt uncomfortable.
Everything is his destiny, and nothing is up to him.
After going through all the hardships, he originally wanted to come back and marry her, but now he personally organized a grand wedding for her, but the groom was someone else.
But no matter what, being able to see the woman you love most be happy is another kind of fulfillment!
Your Majesty and General Xiao have both gone through hardships for love, and they deserve this consummation.
Xiao Chi watched the two hugging each other and felt filled with emotion.
The monarchs and ministers of the two generations have supported and supported each other for decades, whether it was love, family affection, or loyalty, but in the end they only had this hug.
How can a hug repay a man's friendship for two lifetimes?
Such a man is rare and precious in the world.
……
Early the next morning, when the sun rose in the east and the sky was filled with red clouds, Xiao Chi led the wedding team from the mansion and went around the West City and Nancheng to the palace to pick up the bride. After receiving Chu Zhao, they went around the East City and North City back to the mansion to worship heaven and earth.
This two-hundred-year-old city was built because of them. Now, as newcomers, they go around the city, which can be regarded as a kind of completion of their merits.
The common people all knew that the Prince Regent and General Xiao were getting married on this day, and every street that the wedding procession must pass through was packed with people early in the morning, waiting to watch the excitement and grab wedding cash.
The people responsible for spreading the money were the guys from Chu's bank led by Wang Baobao and Chu Huai. They started spreading money as soon as Xiao Chi left the house, all the way to the imperial city, and all the way back from the imperial city.
The bank prepared hundreds of baskets of copper coins for this purpose, but in the end they scattered them all.
The people in the capital went crazy. They had never seen anyone marry so generously.
While Wang Baobao was throwing away money, he remembered some scenes. He had experienced such a crazy wedding scene a long time ago.
At that time, he was also a rich man, and he was also an imperial businessman.
That's right, how could he forget about this?
He excitedly ran to Chu Zhao's sedan chair and shouted loudly through the curtain of the sedan chair: "Your Majesty, I want to be an imperial merchant. I want to be the best imperial merchant in the world!"
"doing what?"
Chu Zhao couldn't hear clearly, so he opened the sedan curtain and stuck his head out. Just as he was about to ask him clearly, he suddenly saw a red figure in a wide robe and wide sleeves among the bustling crowd, with raised eyebrows, narrow eyes, and light lips. The color is a bit cool, and the tall and thin figure looks particularly lonely in the lively crowd, like a lonely wild crane.
"Congratulations..."
Chu Zhao was startled and opened her mouth to shout, but the figure had been submerged in the crowd, and no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't find it.
