Chapter 171 The Prince's Wedding

The people of Suzhou returned to the Tang Dynasty and celebrated together. The prince's wedding was a happy event, but many people were worried. Li Ke and Li Chengqian were both frowning because of the approaching wedding. A few days ago, Zhang Dezhong, an imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital, reported from Binzhou that Hou Ruoyi was indeed seriously ill and might not be cured before the New Year. When the Tang Dynasty received the news from Binzhou, it was issued an order, asking Su Juan, daughter of Secretary Su Jian, and Crown Prince Li Chengqian to get married, and the Crown Prince Li Chengqian, the crown prince's wedding was held as scheduled. Therefore, Li Ke confirmed from the news sent back by Zhang Dezhong that Hou Ruoyi seemed very worried. The reason why Prince Li Chengqian was worried was that he did not marry Hou Ruoyi as he wished, and he had never seen Su Jian's daughter Su Juan, and he was very worried about the appearance and temper of the crown prince.

The year is approaching, and more than ten days are coming in an instant, and there is only one day left before the prince’s wedding day. The red word "Happy" is hung in Chang'an City to show that the prince’s wedding and the people are having fun together. Sitting in front of the huge plaque of "Happy" in Su Mansion in Xuanyangfang, Su Jian, who was sitting in the front hall for tea, looked at the busy servants and maids in the garden, and felt a lot of emotion. His daughter had already made a reservation about her betrothal prince as a concubine, but she didn’t expect that ten days would be

An imperial edict in the previous period changed his fate with his daughter. The imperial edict said that Su Juan would be betrothed to the crown prince as the crown prince's concubine, and married the crown prince on December 25, and there was also an imperial edict for him. After the crown prince's wedding, he was promoted to the governor of Taizhou. He was originally the secretary-general of the Secretariat from the fifth rank, but now he was promoted to the governor of Taizhou under the fourth rank, and his official position was promoted to the governor of Taizhou with two levels in a row. Su Jian knew that it was because his daughter betrothed to the crown prince and the emperor gave him the reward.

Su Ya was very confused. What happened ten days ago, the upcoming wedding tomorrow was like a dream, both real and terrifying, and everything in front of her was like a dream.

"Husband, what are you thinking? I called you a few times but didn't hear me?" Su Lian's wife Liu came to the front hall at some point. She said with a worried look, "I wonder if Juan'er was made the Crown Princess or a blessing? If she doesn't live well and suffer in the future, what should I do, as a mother? I'm just such a daughter." Mrs. Su saw that she was a woman of the gentry, and she would be different from others when she thought about it. If her daughter married the crown prince and was a concubine, she would be peaceful. Now she became the Crown Prince, and then she would be the future queen. Many people are staring at this position. How can she have a better life in the future? That's why she told her worries in front of Su Lian.

"Mrs. How could the little daughter Juan'er betrothed to the prince in a few lifetimes? How could she suffer?" Su Ya comforted Liu, "After my daughter's wedding, we should also prepare to take office in Taizhou. I hope she can live a happy life after we leave."

"Imperial Imperial Imperial!" Su Jian was talking to Liu in the living room when he heard a slender and hoarse voice outside the door. Before Su Jian and Liu got up to greet him, the guards in light red uniforms were in a row under the leadership of a general and surrounded the Su Mansion tightly. Su Jian and Liu were not sure, so they walked out of the living room and asked, and then they saw an eunuch with a pretty face in his eyes walked out of it, saying, "Secretary Secretary Su Jian received the order."

Su Jian stepped forward and knelt down. The eunuch read the long imperial edict. Then he helped Su Jian, who was kneeling in front of him, and said, "Governor Su, please raise him and ask him to marry the prince tomorrow. Zhang Quan will congratulate him here first."

"Happy together, happy together." Su Jian did not dare to offend Zhang Quan. Although he was just an eunuch, the eunuch who could pass the order was definitely a powerful person in the palace.

Zhang Quan did not stop for a long time, and left the Su Mansion after the imperial edict was announced. The guards who came with him stayed. When the general saw Zhang Quan leave, he stepped forward to salute Su Jian, and then said, "The last general led the prince's left guard to lead the army to come and guard the crown prince's concubine, and he also wanted to forgive him."

From the imperial edict just now, Su Ya knew that the guards in front of him were from the prince's left and right guards. They were ordered to protect the Su's mansion, with the purpose of protecting the prince's safety and ensuring the safety of the prince's wedding tomorrow. Su Ya naturally did not dare to neglect and said politely, "I am working hard for the general of the army, so the general of the army will also invite him to the living room for tea."

Shi Jin bowed politely, "There is no need to use tea. If you have important things to do, you won't bother the governor Su." After Shi Jin said that, he waved his hand, and the soldiers led by the left guard divided into several teams to control the Su Mansion in their hands. Su Jian knew that Shi Jin had a heavy responsibility and did not disturb him. As soon as he returned to the living room with his wife Liu, he saw a group of palace maids from the court coming in outside the door. They were palace maids who were ordered by Empress Changsun to serve Su Juan bathing and changing clothes. Mrs. Su did not dare to neglect the people sent by Empress Changsun and invited them to Su Juan's boudoir. Su Jian looked at everything in front of him, and had already lost his excitement because his daughter married the crown prince. At the same time, he sighed in his heart, "The royal family is the royal family. No matter if you marry your daughter to them as the crown prince, in their eyes, you are just a small governor."

In the Han Palace, Juyi Hall, Li Ke and everyone gathered together to talk about the prince's wedding. Su Dingfang was still not present, and he is now back to the new army camp in Xishan. Ma Zhou, Xu Jingzong and Liu Rengui in the hall had a serious expression. Chen Qi's health was recovering very quickly, and he had already returned to the capital two days ago. Because of his outstanding achievements in Mobei, Li Ke could arrange seats for him in Juyi Hall. This was the first time he sat with the people in the Han Palace to discuss issues. He was obviously uncomfortable and seemed a little restrained. Qian Ning was also invited by Li Ke to Juyi Hall. He was not as reserved as Chen Qi, but because he was an outsider, he also felt very uncomfortable with everyone.

Li Ke gathered everyone together, and first told everyone that as a member of the Han Palace, he prepared a bride gift for everyone and gave it to the crown prince Li Chengqian to show their feelings for the crown prince's wedding. Seeing that Li Ke was so thoughtful and thought about them everywhere, everyone was very grateful.

The second thing is about this year's New Year's Eve. Many people in the Han Palace are bachelors, and they have no family in Chang'an City. They live in the Han Palace all year round, such as Ma Zhou, Chen Qi and the Black-clothed Wolf, the Black-clothed Double Evil, the Black-clothed Double Evil, the Black-clothed Double Evil, the Black-clothed Double Evil, and Qian Ning. Many people have not got married, and their parents are not in the capital. Such people are like Su Dingfang, Liu Rengui and Xu Jingzong. Therefore, he wanted to arrange their life in Chang'an before going to Bingzhou, and specially bought a mansion for each of them not far from the Han Palace in Pingkangfang to facilitate them to have their own courtyard after they leave Chang'an.

Chen Qi was moved to hear that Li Ke also bought him a mansion. He was a civilian, but he had no skill except for his brute force. If he did not go to the battlefield in the system of the promotion of children of the Tang army, he would not have been promoted. However, it goes without saying that he could have his own mansion in a prime location like Pingkangfang, which was something he could never dream of. Therefore, if Li Ke had not stopped him, he would have been excited to kneel down to thank him. Similarly, Ma Zhou, Xu Jingzong and Liu Rengui were also very excited. It was not that Li Ke bought a mansion for them that touched them, but Li Ke's attitude towards his subordinates and his actions of thinking about his subordinates made them feel that it was their honor to be able to assist such a prince.

After all the matters were arranged, Li Ke returned to the study and asked Yang En about the money in the treasury. Although the money was not much, it could be used, which made him feel much more relieved. Then, he lazily lay on the chair, waiting for Li Chengqian's wedding tomorrow. He also wanted to see what kind of woman Li Chengqian's Crown Princess and Su Jian's woman Su Juan was, who could be elected and named her as Crown Princess by all ministers.

The next day, at the hour of Mao, Lan'er and the maids began to serve Li Ke in the shower and changing clothes. After Lan'er's shocking dress, Li Ke, dressed in the robe of Prince Minghuang of Five Dragons, looked particularly handsome and elegant. The firmness between his eyebrows made him look even more heroic. Lan'er looked at the heroic Li Ke in a daze and found that Li Ke was looking at her maliciously. She hurriedly withdrew her eyes, lowered her head and said nothing, and a red glow on her face made her look like a rose that needed love.

"Little girl, what are you looking at? I have never seen such a handsome Prince of Han, right?" Li Ke teased.

Lan'er was embarrassed by Li Ke's words, and lowered her head and whispered, "Your Highness, you are making fun of the maid again. Your Highness is the most handsome King of Han." After saying that, she suddenly felt that she had been deceived by Li Ke, and her head lowered even lower. "The time has come, and Your Highness should also prepare to enter the palace to Tai Chi Hall, otherwise she would probably be late."

"Lan'er is old and starts to miss spring, haha!" Li Ke smiled gently and left the room. The remaining Lan'er was so ashamed that she didn't know where to hide.

Li Ke left the Han Palace under the escort of Chen Qi and Zhu Tong, the middle leader of the black-clothed two evil kings, and entered the Zhuque Gate and came to Chengtian Gate. After getting off the frame, he walked to the Tai Chi Hall of Tai Chi Palace.

The Taiji Palace is the main hall of the Taiji Palace. The emperor ascended the throne, enthroned the queen, enthroned the crown prince, and entertained foreign guests. The banquet was held in the Taiji Palace, so the place where Li Chengqian's wedding was the Taiji Palace. When Li Ke came to the Taiji Palace, he found that most of the ministers in the court had been waiting for a long time. He stepped forward to greet Li Tai, Li You and other princes, and then asked every official about his well-being before standing aside to wait for Li Shimin and Prince Li Chengqian.

The crown prince’s wedding is not like the folk, and the bride can be welcomed to the mansion to marry. First, you have to accept the emperor’s enthronement of the crown prince’s concubine in the Taiji Hall, and then you have to go to the ancestral temple to worship heaven and ancestors, and then you have to hold a banquet to the bride and groom to toast with the congratulatory people. Li Ke waited for a short time in Taiji Hall, and Li Shimin, Empress Changsun, Concubine Yang and other concubines in the harem came slowly. Then, Li Chengqian and the crown prince’s concubine led the guards of the palace to come down to Taiji Hall in the Taiyou Guards.

Li Chengqian and the Crown Princess Su Juan accepted the title of Li Shimin in Taiji Hall, and then went to the ancestral temple to worship the heaven and ancestors, and then returned to Taiji Hall to invite the ministers in the afternoon. Li Chengqian first toasted Li Shimin and the queens and concubines, and then to the royal relatives of the Tang Dynasty royal family. Li Ke, Li Tai and Li You also belong to this business, and then toasted with the ministers. The prince's wedding was to have fun with the people. Therefore, the banquet was just over until Wu time, and it was already Hai time when Li Ke returned to the mansion. Although he had a good alcohol tolerance, he could not resist the attacks of the people. After returning to the mansion, he fell on the bed under Lan'er's service.
