After raising the emperor, he always wanted to marry me

The first year of Yongding, the beginning of March.

Prince Xun's son was born, and Concubine Xuan passed away in dystocia. Princess Qingzhao personally signed a petition to raise Prince Xun's son.

Before Gu Xiu was ready to play, there were frequent voices of opposition from below, so King Gu Xiu once again had to bring a small family matter to the front court.

"I have read the brochures handed over to me by all my lovers, and I think they are very reasonable." On the court hall, Gu Xiu sat behind the Longshu table, wearing a beaded crown to hide the hostility in his eyes, It seemed even more profound and unfathomable: "Just discussing family affairs in this court hall is not right after all."

The censors who gave a memorial for this matter in the audience felt their hearts jumping for some reason.

Half a year after the emperor ascended the throne, the court officials also found out the temper of the little emperor.Gu Xiu, the little emperor, likes to do practical affairs, as long as you are talented, dedicated to the public, and what you do is beneficial to the dynasty, he will tolerate you.

If he can't tolerate you, all the stabbings on you are unavoidable soft knives.Coupled with the fact that there is a Han Taifu who can't get to the bottom at all, one of the monarchs and ministers speaks soft words, and the other speaks harsh words, and they will deal with you silently.

Today, they have already considered their request, and they are not trying to impeach the princess, but just a few words of advice, and I don't know if King Gu Xiu can tolerate them.

"I've read all the advices from all my lovers. Princess Qingzhao is unmarried, and it's really inconvenient for her to raise her youngest child." Gu Xiu sat on the high platform, looked around at the audience, and paused. After a pause, he continued: "So, I decided to give the princess a marriage."

Gu Xiu's words caused an uproar.

The new censor, Zhongcheng Liang Yu, knelt down on his knees and fell to the front of the palace with a plop, weeping and admonishing like a thunderbolt, "Your Majesty! It hasn't been three years since the late emperor passed away, how can you marry the princess just like that! Isn't this trapping Her Royal Highness in an unfilial situation?!"

"Liang Aiqing's words are wrong. When the late emperor was here, what he hoped most was that Princess Qingzhao would be reliable for life. If the late emperor knew that I was disregarding Princess Qingzhao's life for the sake of fulfilling filial piety, I am afraid that would be the greatest unfilial piety." Liang Yu There were tears streaming down his face, but Gu Xiu's expression didn't change, so he let him cry: "I knew Aiqing would say this early on. So I decided not to get married or accept a concubine within six years from today. , keeping filial piety for the princess, what does Liang Qing think?"

"Your Majesty, even if that's the case, then the matter of giving a marriage is no joke! How can there be a good match with Her Highness the Princess?" Liang Yu took two steps forward, he was not as sanctimonious as Sun Tingzhao Officer, what he really thinks about is the honor and disgrace of the Gu family: "Your Majesty, please think twice."

"I originally wanted to announce the matter to the world after the marriage discussion was settled. Since Liang Aiqing asked the question today, I will simply marry Princess Qingzhao in front of all the ministers." Gu Xiu leaned back slightly in the chair Back, without any warning, he said: "The chief editor of the Hanlin Academy wrote Zhuo Qi, which contains chapter quality, clean and clear, and can be a good match for the princess. I invite the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian to plan auspicious days together and prepare for the ceremony."

All the officials were taken aback when they heard the words.

Some officials who have gone through the previous dynasties lamented the wonderful fate. A marriage went around for □□ years, and it really came true.

Standing among the civil servants, Zhuo Ting seemed to be struck by lightning for a moment, and his whole body froze in place as if scorched by lightning.

The colleague next to him stabbed him several times with his elbows, and he knelt down on the spot, and it took him a long time to say: "Thank you...Thank you Lord Ron..."

As soon as the court was over, Zhuo Ting, who knelt down and forgot to get up early, was dragged up by his colleagues, and everyone surrounded him and congratulated him.But he walked forward in a daze, unable to hear anyone's words.

When he arrived in front of the Xuanzheng Hall, this person didn't even know how to take a step on the threshold, he just fell down like that. If it wasn't because of the many people around him, he would probably have rolled down the imperial steps.

It was past noon, in the upper hall of the Xuanzheng Palace Dongnuan Pavilion where the courtiers met.

Su Che twirled the sparse beard on his chin, and made a serious effort to get pulse with the unconscious Zhuo Ting.

On the other side, Gu Xiu and Han Mochu hugged shoulders side by side, Gu You stood on Gu Xiu's left side, with one arm on Gu Xiu's shoulder, and asked with a worried face: "Seventh brother, you said you chose Can this guy do it? He stood outside the eldest sister’s princess mansion day and night for more than a month. Now you say to give him a marriage to help him, and he passed out without even going out of the Xuanzheng Palace. , I haven't woken up for less than half an hour. With this body, can I be able to accompany my eldest sister to grow old together?"

"I don't know about other things, I only know that he really likes elder sister."

Over there, after Su Che checked his pulse, he took out a long needle from the medicine box he carried with him, and pierced Zhuo Qian's tiger's mouth with his fingers.Zhuo Qian, who was lying on the small couch, immediately had his chest rise and fall, coughed and opened his eyes.

Seeing that he was awake, Su Che picked up the small spittoon that he had prepared in advance, and patted Zhuo Ting's back: "Come on, let's breathe evenly and spit out the phlegm."

Zhuo Ting didn't know where he was at the moment, and instinctively spit out the thick phlegm stuffed in his throat with the small spittoon.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's okay, it's okay." Su Che handed the filth to the little eunuch beside him, and then took the soft towel handed over by another little eunuch to wipe his hands: "It's just a big surprise, phlegm fan Take it easy, rest for a while and you'll be fine."

On this side, Han Mochu sent Su Che out of the Xuanzheng Hall.

Over there, Gu You sat down next to Zhuo Jing who had just woken up, and firmly pressed Zhuo Jing who was about to go down to the ground to kowtow to Gu Xiu Xingli back on the bed: "Since my seventh brother chose you, then After getting married, the king and His Majesty will call you big brother-in-law in private. Big brother-in-law, are you better?"

"I... I don't dare to be a minister..." Zhuo Qian who just woke up had a dry mouth, but he dared to get angry again with these two nobles, so he could only reply in a daze: "The minister is much better, much better."

"You don't dare?" Gu Xiu's already stern face instantly stiffened: "You were the one who resigned from office and asked to marry the princess, but now you say you don't dare to be a princess, so it's possible that I gave you the marriage today, but you regretted it ?”

"No, I'm not repenting, I'm just..." Zhuo Ying's handsome face had a rather magnificent embarrassment, and he was also a eloquent person, but now facing Gu Xiu and Gu You, he said nothing. Can't tell either.He never thought that Gu Xiu would agree like this, and he never thought that Gu Xiu would give the marriage in public.

"It's not repentance, so why don't you dare to do it?" Gu You pressed Zhuo Qian's shoulder again, and proudly raised his head towards Zhuo Qian: "You used to go to stand outside the princess's house every day, How long are you prepared to stand before telling the truth to Eldest Sister?"

"His Royal Highness Ning, I just don't want to force the princess, so I don't dare to step forward rashly, I don't want to be abrupt."

"Persecution?" Gu You patted Zhuo Qian's shoulder twice heavily: "Do you think that in the entire Zhou Dynasty, who would dare to persecute my elder sister? Let me tell you the truth, Your Majesty has already told elder sister what you think." Yes. The elder sister gave you the marriage today, nodding in private. Although it is an expedient measure to raise the son of King Xun, the elder sister doesn't seem to hate you that much."

The disbelief on Zhuo Qian's face immediately looked more spectacular than the cramped one just now. He hastily broke free from Gu You's hand, knelt on the ground, and solemnly kowtowed three times to Gu Xiu: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your fulfillment. Thank you Your Majesty for fulfilling it."

Gu Xiu didn't lower his eyebrows to look at him, and he didn't allow him to flatten his body, so he just stood with his hands behind his back, and said in a cold voice, "Okay, if Elder Sister doesn't nod, I won't agree."

"Yes, everything is the elder sister's fulfillment." Gu You got up, and naturally hooked up with Gu Xiu, raised his brows calmly: "However, if after the wedding, you dare to bully and neglect my elder sister. ..." Gu You dragged out a long voice coldly: "This king and His Majesty each took a knife and cut you to pieces with their own hands."

"If I can get the princess as my wife, I will never let you down in this life!" Gu You's harsh words did not make Zhuo Qian feel flinched or scared, because he knew in his heart that he would not let Gu Jin down, and he would take good care of it. This hard-won opportunity.

Princess Qingzhao's big wedding was regarded as Gu Xiu's first major event after he ascended the throne.

Gu Xiu was worried that others would be slack, so he handed over the planning of the wedding to Xu Jingrou, Princess Ning who was visiting her relatives in Suzhou.Babaili hurriedly accepted the order, and Xu Jingrou burst into tears with joy, and Dang even entrusted her son, who was not yet one year old, to her mother-in-law Jin.

He boarded the Luanjia alone, and was escorted by local officials along the way, all the way back to the capital.

On March [-]th, Princess Qingzhao and her fiancé Zhuo Ying went to the small courtyard where Mrs. Huining lived to inform her biological mother of the marriage.Master Hui Ning looked at Zhuo Ting for a long time before finally nodding.He hung a string of rosary beads on his daughter's wrist, and told the two of them to raise their eyebrows together and grow old together.

After Gu Jin came back from Master Huining's residence, Gu Xiu sent a decree to the world that Princess Qingzhao and the chief executive of the Imperial Academy edited Zhuo Ting's wedding.

The wedding date is set on the sixth day of May.

Xu Jingrou, who got the clear order, immediately started to make arrangements.And she didn't keep everything simple as Gu Jin wanted, but was considerate of her husband and the emperor's wishes.

Concubine Ning Xu Jingrou has never rubbed sand in her eyes, especially when it comes to Gu Jin's marriage.

All process arrangements, including the preparation of utensils, must be reviewed in person.She even manages the accounts of the Department of Internal Affairs and the treasury in an orderly manner. Although the matter is big, she hasn't even spent a tael of money by mistake.

Such crisp and neat actions made the officials of the six ministries who were in charge of the ceremony give their thumbs up.On the matter of the princess's wedding, he obediently obeyed Xu Jingrou's instructions.

Xu Jingrou was so busy that she didn't even care about Xiao Biesheng's newlyweds and left Gu You aside.

Gu You followed suit at first, but later realized that he really couldn't talk, so he simply became the hands-off shopkeeper again, walking back and forth in the palace with the dog in his arms.

From time to time, the imperial physician asked Su Che to touch two leaf cards and win two jars of high-quality medicinal wine to drink.

Around April, spring is warm and flowers are blooming.

The scarlet fabrics, silk, and brocade that Xu Jingrou urgently purchased from Suzhou were transported to the palace in batches.These materials were written by Xu Jingrou to ask Concubine Li to buy them locally.They are all the top-notch private goods in the hands of Jiangsu silk merchants, and they are not even comparable to the tributes over the years.Even the colored satin used for decoration is luxurious glazed brocade.

The money didn't touch the officials, it all came out of the private account of Prince Ning's Mansion.Because I needed it urgently, I added [-]% of the price to get it.

Those flowing money are all made by the industries that she has bought in Beijing over the years.Doing things for Gu Jin out of his own pocket can save him a lot of nonsense.On the way back to Beijing, she secretly swore that she would make Gu Jin's marriage more grand and grand than the time Gu Jin married to Monan.

On that day, Gu You did not know where to find a sketch of the five-headed phoenix crown used for Gu Jin's wedding, and spread it in front of Gu Xiu while drinking tea in the afternoon.

In addition to drawing the prototype of the phoenix crown on that sketch, it also stated how many pearls, agates, gold, and emerald greens were needed to cast the phoenix crown. A rough calculation of the cost of the crown alone is a full 3 yuan. More taels of silver.Not counting the other supporting accessories such as buyao, Yingluo, and even hairpin and ring jewelry.

"Look, Seventh Brother, this is a sketch drawn by Rou'er." Gu You held the drawing and shook it in front of Gu Xiu's eyes: "Let us idlers help the staff."

"Many of the crowns worn by the eldest sister in the past were made together with the sixth emperor's wife. It must be the look that the eldest sister likes." Gu took a look at the sketch of the phoenix crown, but he couldn't see the shape of the crown used by this woman. Xuan Miao, I just think they are all the same gorgeous and beautiful: "It's just that the materials used are limited. How about this, Yuan Bao, go and tell the Secretary of the Inner House, and say that it is my order that all the pearls used on the princess wedding jewelry will be changed. Use Dongzhu."

"Hey, I just wanted to say that there are two Dendrobium orbs in the house!" Gu You snorted angrily, and then dragged his chin with a sad face: "You are just trying to make a deal, just give it to the eldest sister like this!" Added something. What about me? I haven’t done anything to help my eldest sister get married, so I can’t pull a few more carts of gold like last time, can I?”

"Sister-in-law Liu and you are a family, and it is your wish to have her prepare for the elder sister's wedding?" Gu Xiu pushed the sketch back in front of Gu You: "What else do you want to add?"

"That's different, my heart is my heart. The eldest sister loves me a lot, and I can't just go eat noodles without doing anything when she gets married?" Gu You put his hands on his chin, glanced aside and kept going. Han Mochu who didn't speak: "What did Taifu Han say?"

"I think what His Royal Highness Ning Wang said is very true. But since there is nothing to add, why don't you, Your Highness Ning, take the post of ceremonial officer and officiate Princess Qingzhao's wedding in person?" Han Mochu picked up the teacup in his hand. tea stalk, and smiled gently: "Speaking of which, I should also prepare a congratulatory gift for the princess's wedding."

"What Taifu Han said is true! This king can preside over the wedding ceremony!" Gu You blinked: "Then, Taifu Han has also thought about it, what gift do you want to add to elder sister?"

"I thought about it early in the morning. I want to take out the hibiscus jade incense burner that the Raksha Queen gave me that year, and add makeup to the princess. What do you think?"

"I forgot that you still have this thing." Gu Xiu nodded and said, "It's really a good thing. It's just a good gift for elder sister."

Gu You was even more confused by the tacit dialogue between these two people.

Hibiscus jade incense burner?

He has seen lotus jade, but he has never heard of anyone in this world who can afford lotus jade as an incense burner.
