Chapter 174 Wedding Briefing
The reason why the six princes are targeting the Northern Barbarian Crown Prince today is simply because they resent the Northern Barbarian Crown Prince who once asked Shen Qiujun to go to the Northern Barbarians to be a widow. Although he had made up his mind to finalize the marriage within this period of time, he did not expect that the Northern Barbarian Crown Prince would The prince actually pushed for this marriage, which made the sixth prince happy but also a little worried.
After the Northern Man Crown Prince's fuss, the marriage was truly confirmed, and the thought that the two of them could get married in less than a month made the Sixth Prince happy in his heart. However, acting in such a hasty manner would inevitably make Shen Qiujun feel wronged. In addition, , the emperor must have thought that he had deliberately designed it, and he was afraid that he would dislike himself even more.
After a moment of hesitation, the Sixth Prince made up his mind: Whatever the case, marrying Shen Qiujun first is the right thing to do, and we will talk about the rest later. As for being rejected by the Emperor, it is even more irrelevant. Since Concubine Rong After leaving Da Qi, when had he ever been favored by the emperor? As time went by, whether he liked it or disliked it, it didn't matter in the heart of the sixth prince. He didn't want to fight for the throne anyway. Whether he wanted to please the emperor or not, it really didn't matter. significance.
So the Sixth Prince naturally accepted the congratulations from everyone in the Northern Barbarians. As for the Daqi people, they looked at the Emperor who seemed to be hesitant, and were not sure what the Sixth Prince meant, so they all sat there drinking in silence.
Emperor Da Qi felt very uncomfortable. When he saw the Sixth Prince smiling so hard that his mouth almost reached his ears, he became more and more convinced that all this was planned by him.
Thinking that he, the majestic emperor of a country, was being plotted by his son, knowing that he did not agree with the marriage, and now he was forced to accept the marriage. The emperor wanted to get up and scold the sixth prince.
After all, he was worried that this was a banquet for the Northern Barbarians, so the emperor had to barely restrain his anger, but all the smiles on his face were gone, and he was so gloomy that it could bring tears to his eyes.
Seeing this scene, the smile on the prince's face became brighter and brighter. The two brothers seemed to be patting the sixth prince, asking him to plan a date so that he could make preparations in advance.
The sixth prince took advantage of his drunkenness and pulled the people from Qin Tianjian to ask them to calculate the date now. However, the Xian Wang and others persuaded them: Today is a state banquet, so we should choose another day to calculate such things. Besides, everyone in Qintian Prison is drunk now, so it is not a good time to make calculations.
The Sixth Prince just finished. Everyone had different thoughts during the dinner. Without the harmonious atmosphere, the banquet ended hastily.
On the second day, the Sixth Prince went to Qin Tianjian and asked them to calculate which day was the best in this month.
Qin Tianjian had no choice but to come and ask for instructions from the emperor.
The emperor was unable to save himself at this time. The matter had reached such a level that he really could not find a reason to stop the marriage, and the Shen family did not come forward. They only acted as if they were relying solely on the Holy Judgment. Now he wants to do it The only thing we can do is try our best to suppress the sixth prince and prevent him from getting into the struggle for the throne.
After the Qintian Supervisor got the emperor's order, this matter was handled much more smoothly. He asked for the birth dates of Shen Qiujun and the Sixth Prince, and calculated them carefully. He really calculated a good day, which would be at the beginning of next month. There are twenty days.
The emperor looked at the report. He sighed deeply and called the people from the Ministry of Etiquette. He said: "Nowadays, troops are deployed all over the border and the national treasury is tight. The late emperor's birthday is coming soon, and the northern barbarians are marrying the princess. We cried poverty with them, and now that we have gathered all our affairs in one place, we should not make this marriage too public, and keep it simple."
After hearing this, the people from the Ministry of Rites hurriedly said yes, but they didn't agree in their hearts. This prince's marriage is a common example. How simple it can be, it's just a matter of face, but when the money was exchanged, everyone was shocked.
: With just this money, I can really make a hat, even if I think about it, I can’t do it simply.
Speaking of which, the money was allocated based on the cost of getting married to the princes when the dynasty was first established. However, the prices at that time could not be compared with the current prices. Therefore, when the princes and clans got married, it was a convention that they only followed the specifications of the items at that time.
It wasn't because of the money at that time. I didn't expect that when I came to the Sixth Prince, it was Ding, Ding and Mao.
It seems that the sixth prince is really disliked by the emperor. Otherwise, there is no way to get some money, so why bother to lose face in front of the northern barbarians.
Everyone in the Ministry of Rites couldn't help but smile bitterly as they weighed the small amount of money. They didn't do it right. Others didn't talk about the money, but it seemed like they were incompetent in doing things. They would have to bear the blame.
However, the Ministry of Rites is not stupid. Although it is a game between father and son, there is no guarantee that the sixth prince will vent his anger on the head of the Ministry of Rites. Therefore, everyone recommended Wang Qing to tell the sixth prince that in the future, the sixth prince will vent his anger on him. Who will
Let him always trick the Sixth Prince.
Wang Qing had no choice but to go to see the Sixth Prince. He was also uneasy. He was secretly happy that everyone regarded him as the Sixth Prince, but he was also worried about the wrath of Lei Lei that he would face alone next. He also lamented that the Emperor was too cruel to the Sixth Prince.
some.
The Sixth Prince had been mentally prepared for a long time, so when he heard Wang Qing stuttering about the silver, he said calmly: "You can use the silver to prepare various objects first. They will come to send gifts in the next few days. Then I will
Just collect the money and send it over, and then I'll look at adding more things."
When Wang Qing heard this, he couldn't help but feel sad for the sixth prince. He originally wanted to persuade the sixth prince: Looking at the current situation, the emperor is not prepared to save any face for the sixth prince. He spent all his money on a happy event. How will he live in the future?
However, Wang Qingyu twitched the corner of his mouth, but finally did not say anything out loud. After all, the sixth prince was a prince, and he had his own pride, so why should he feel so pitiful about himself.
The sixth prince didn't notice Wang Qing's expression and asked: "How is the new mansion being cleaned up?"
When mentioning the Sixth Prince's Mansion, Wang Qing couldn't help but sigh. This emperor was really stingy.
In the previous dynasty, there was a corrupt official who relied on the favor of the unfaithful emperor to build a magnificent house. Later, when Daqi was established, the corrupt official was naturally killed to the anger of the people, and the house was confiscated. Later, when the third prince got married, the house was built.
given to him.
Because the great-grandfather was afraid that his descendants would be arrogant and extravagant, he made regulations in many aspects. The size of the prince's mansion also had specifications. That house was obviously larger, so he only cut a large part of the house into the third prince's mansion according to the specifications.
There is still a small, narrow space left empty.
So this time, the emperor made a stroke of his pen and made it the Sixth Prince's Mansion. After all, the Grand Ancestor only said that it was not allowed to exceed the specifications, but he did not say that it was not allowed to fall below these specifications.
"The Prince's Mansion has been taken care of by palace staff over the years, but there is nothing damaged. It can be used just by hanging it up. As for the things used in the Mansion, I have... taken some from other places." Wang Qing reluctantly let himself go.
After all, if you say something about "having dealt with it a little", you have to pay for it.
Seeing that the Sixth Prince was speechless, Wang Qing continued: "They are all usable. Although the bride has always brought the furniture for the new house, I thought I didn't have time to do it when I came to the Yongning Marquis Mansion, so I also arranged it together.
, when the princess enters the palace, we can rearrange it according to her preferences."
The Sixth Prince nodded and said: "That's right. I wouldn't trust this matter to anyone else. I have to do everything for you. Please help me be more discerning. Thank you very much."
Wang Qing hurriedly replied with fear and sincerity: "This is what a subordinate should do. I don't dare to say thank you."
The two discussed the matter of getting married again, and then Wang Qing left and went to work.
Xiao Chengzi then exclaimed: "How outrageous!"
The sixth prince glanced at him sideways and sneered: "If outsiders hear what I said, it will make you feel better. This is the emperor's intention."
Xiao Chengzi's body suddenly softened, and he said feebly: "We are all biological sons, why do we have to be so different? We are not compared with the prince when he got married. The wise king is the emperor's pride. , and there is a favored mother-in-law who knows how to blow pillows. We dare not compare her. At least she can be on par with the third prince. Is it so far behind? I feel wronged for you and the third young lady. "
The sixth prince felt uncomfortable in his heart. He didn't care about these things, but how could Shen Qiujun, a noble daughter of a noble family, endure such injustice?
If he were asked to take out the money right now, I dare not say that he would be very successful. At least he could see it through and he could still do it. However, his money cannot be shown openly, even if the Tian family is forced to give out the money. The gifts are limited, and the gifts recycled are probably not very large. It seems that she really has to be wronged.
The Sixth Prince was furious in his heart: The injustice Sister Yu suffered now must be made up for in the future!
As the Sixth Prince expected, people came to send congratulatory gifts one after another in the past few days. Everyone acted based on the emperor's eyes, so the gift-giving followed the example of the year, so the little money the Sixth Prince received was really small. So pitiful.
On the contrary, the prince believed that he had a good relationship with the sixth prince, and that he would be needed in the future, so in addition to the money on the surface, he also secretly stuffed a lot of money into him.
The sixth prince naturally accepted it with a grateful face, which gave the prince an inexplicable sense of superiority.
Of course, the prince's little move could not be hidden from the emperor's eyes and ears.
After the emperor heard about it, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and sighed: "Mr. Wu, Mrs. Wu, do you know that because of your short-sightedness, not only will my sons fight for the throne, but I'm afraid you will also harm your only son. ah."
