Chapter 10: Mysterious and teasing people
Just as Chen Wanrong was dizzy, Li Longji pointed to a young woman beside him: "See you soon, this is Miss Gongsun."
When Chen Wanrong saw that the woman was only about twenty years old, her skin was as smooth as jade, and she could be broken. She was wearing a strong suit and looked curvy, like a mature peach, which was particularly tempting, making people feel the desire to pick it.
"Is this Mrs. Gongsun?" Chen Wanrong thought he was dazzled, but then he thought that Mrs. Gongsun is still a young and beautiful woman now and is far from being called an aunt.
"Chen Wanrong has met Miss Gongsun." Chen Wanrong bowed with his fists.
"Gongsun Lan has seen General Chen!" Gongsun Lan was blessed with a charming look. Seeing it in her heart, she felt refreshed and happy.
Gongsun Lan is worthy of being a famous artist who has been known throughout the ages. Every move has an attractive charm. Thousands of people couldn't help but feel their hearts thrilled and exclaimed, "Ah!"
"It's so charming, no wonder I can become a famous dancer who has been famous throughout the ages!" Chen Wanrong secretly praised in his heart.
Chen Zairong strode over and smiled at a young woman beside Gongsun Lan: "I've seen Sister Lou."
This woman is no one else, but Lou Hong, who danced with Chen Zairong on the shore of the Wei River. When she saw Chen Zairong, she was filled with joy and said with a smile: "I have met Lord Chen."
"Sister Lou, you haven't seen each other for many days. You're so a little bit too much. Let's call me Zairong brother!" Chen Zairong fully demonstrated his familiar personality.
"Brother is honored again?" Lou Hong burst out laughing, like the spring breeze, making people feel rippling.
"The Supreme Emperor is here!" Duan Hui's voice rang out as soon as he saw the gift.
Ruizong's figure appeared at the door, and Chen Wanrong and Li Longji hurriedly met him. Taking advantage of the fire, he saw that Ruizong today was very different from Ruizong when he was just abdicated. He was much better in spirit, but he obviously got a lot older, with hair growing on his temples and wrinkles on his face. Although the case of Princess Taiping had been a while ago, it was really a blow to him. He seemed to have been ten years old.
It's no wonder that he values family affection the most, but has to kill his beloved sister. No one can accept it, and the blow will be very big.
"I've met my father!" Li Longji greeted him.
Ruizong waved his hand and said, "Sanlang, you arrived earlier than your father."
He turned his head to Chen Wanrong and said, "Wanrong, you are getting married today, I will join in the fun. I am so bored alone in the palace. I will take this opportunity to go out for a walk. You won't blame me for this uninvited guest, right?"
It was a joke, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood today. Chen Wanrong was also happy for him: "The Supreme Emperor is here, I am honored to you. Please!"
"Wanrong, I congratulate you first!" Ruizong smiled and said, "Girl, give our gift to the host."
Princess Jinxian held a scroll with a light gait. She came to the light and spread it out. She saw four words "The Peerless Hand" written on it, which was written by Ruizong.
If it were in the past, the ministers would not take it seriously because at that time, the Ruizong was just a peaceful place in the world but could not govern the emperor. With the great victory in Tubo, Ruizong became a promising wise ruler in the minds of the ministers, and he was willing to win all his hands.
When they first saw Ruizong's handwriting, many people swallowed secretly, hoping that Ruizong would write a picture for him.
The word "Miaoshou" is generally used to describe a doctor. What does this have to do with Chen Wanrong? The ministers couldn't help but have some questions. However, they could not ask, so they had to keep it in their hearts.
Chen Wanrong understood what Ruizong meant. If Chen Wanrong hadn't used his wonderful skills to detoxify Ruizong, he might have died of chronic lead poisoning.
"Thank you, the Supreme Emperor!" Chen Wanrong took it from Princess Jinxian.
Princess Yuzhen came over with a scroll and blinked at Chen Wanrong, looking quite naughty. She came to Chen Wanrong and lowered her voice and said, "You have to beg me, otherwise I won't show it to you!"
Even if she wanted to blackmail this matter, it would be impossible. After all, it was done by the order of Ruizong. It would be impossible to make Ruizong ugly, right? Chen Wanrong sniffed and pretended not to hear it. Princess Yuzhen asked for a boring question, which was very unpleasant. She glared at Chen Wanrong fiercely, lowered her voice and said, "Let's go and see!" She began to change her mind, how to make things difficult for Chen Wanrong.
When Princess Yuzhen opened it, she saw that the four words written by Ruizong above were written by him, "Good Marriage for Heaven", which was used to congratulate him.
Ruizong not only wrote inscriptions, but also had two inscriptions in one piece. It can be said that he was extremely favored. Looking at the Tang Dynasty, who could get two inscriptions in Ruizong at the same time? No! Even Duan Hui has never.
Is this kind of favor more than anything? The ministers were both admiring and jealous.
"You greet me, I'll go and have a meeting." After being hit by the Princess Taiping case, Ruizong was not as good as before. He stood up for a while and couldn't stand it. With the help of Princess Jinxian and Princess Yuzhen, he went to rest.
Guo Qianguan, who followed Ruizong, quickly walked over and clasped his fists at Chen Wanrong and said, "Congratulations to me, congratulations to me!"
"I've met the Grand Marshal!" Chen Wanrong greeted him.
But he grabbed Guo Qianguan: "Brother, are you still so kind to me? Don't be so handsome, call me brother."
"Master, I'm used to calling me. I'm changing it now. Don't be so embarrassed. I'll call you Master this time. I'll call you Master next time!" Chen Wanrong replied in a joke: "Master, you're a little fat. Master is a good thing to gain weight in old age. Congratulations to Master!"
Guo Qianguan is now a little fatter than when he just returned from the battlefield. He has a graceful attitude, but less fierce aura. Guo Qianguan shook his head and sighed: "I have been in a lucky nest all day, and I have lived a boring life. I still miss the days on the battlefield. Although it is dangerous to lick blood from the knife, it is passionate and exciting. If I continue like this, in a few years, I may not even have the courage and will run away when I see the enemy!"
He has been in the army since he was a child and has lived a military life all his life. When he was old, he suddenly became unaccustomed to it.
Although it is a sentimental statement, it reveals a difficult truth: a comfortable life will turn a warrior into a coward!
"The Grand Marshal is joking, joking!" Chen Wanrong asked sideways and said, "Master, please come here."
"No hurry!" Guo Qianguan was in a good mood and smiled, "I haven't given you a gift yet. I'm giving you something valuable, you don't care about money; I give you a peerless soldier, it's not good to use a knife or a gun on a happy day. Besides, you are the head of the military weapon supervisor, and are you afraid that there are no good weapons? After thinking about it, I have to give you five-foot red silk. People in the countryside congratulate you like this. You won't say I'm shabby, right?"
"The handsome man should understand me!" Chen Wanrong stated when he gave the wedding invitation that gifts can be given, but they cannot exceed five taels of silver. If you exceed one, you will not be charged.
If there was no such regulation, with Chen Wanrong's current status and status, the ministers in the court would not have tried their best to collect gifts, and even priceless things would be sent. Not to mention that this is contrary to Li Longji's will, Chen Wanrong himself was also disdainful of such things, so he had this regulation.
Although Guo Qianguan was a self-deprecating tone, he was very concerned about Chen Wanrong's ideas, and the two were worthy of being partners.
After the matter was finished, Guo Qianguan walked to the side of Ruizong and sat down. The two of them lowered their voices, talking and laughing, as if they were old friends. They were of the same age and both "retreated to the second line", so naturally they had a lot to say.
Li Longji glanced at the ministers and said, "Chen Wanrong, you are a minister of the court. If you get married, I will naturally have some rewards as the emperor. You have made great contributions to the court, and the court cannot forget the meritorious officials. Come on, take the ten pieces of colorful satin that I gave to Chen Wanrong."
Under the command of Gao Lishi, several soldiers sent the colorful satin over. Li Longji said on the colorful satin: "I reward you with these ten pieces of silk, please accept them!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Wanrong thanked him.
Everyone knows that Chen Wanrong is not only a celebrity in front of Ruizong, but also Li Longji's life-saving benefactor. When he gets married, Li Longji should be rewarded with imperfections. However, what is unexpected is that Li Longji only rewarded ten pieces of colorful satin and there is no other, which is too difficult for people to believe.
The ministers couldn't understand why, so they couldn't help but whisper and talk. Some people even thought that Chen Wanrong was not favored, and they couldn't help but regret it. If they had known this, why would they have come?
Of course, some ministers with agility also saw that Li Longji was setting an example and asked the ministers to learn from Chen Wanrong, be frugal and not extravagant.
Who would set an example for him? Of course, he is the most reassuring person!
"Chen Wanrong has a bright future!" These quick-thinking ministers sighed in their hearts, secretly praised themselves for their foresight and came to congratulate them.
Li Longji patted a piece of red silk and said, "I reward you with the color satin as the emperor. I gave you with the five-foot red silk as my friend. When I was the crown prince, I visited your house. I knew the rules of your countrymen, so I congratulated you with the five-foot red silk."
"Friend? Who did the emperor call himself a friend?" The ministers couldn't help but be surprised and a commotion.
Li Longji continued, "I am the emperor, yes. But I am also a human being, and I have seven emotions and six desires, and friends. You are both my ministers and friends."
The commotion among the ministers stopped and said in unison: "Thank you, Master!"
"It's time to celebrate, right?" Li Longji seemed to remember something, and slapped his forehead and said, "I almost forgot. I am your big media, so I can do the good deeds to the end. I will do this emcee."
Too much beyond Chen Wanrong's expectations, but Chen Wanrong asked for it: "Thank you, the Emperor!"
"This is this..." The ministers thought there was something wrong with their ears and heard it wrong.
It was too shocking for the emperor to be the emcee, but Chen Wanrong did not have such an idea. With Chen Wanrong's current financial resources, he could have a grand ceremony, but because of Li Longji's will, he had to be simple, and there was not even a barrier car, only a fragrant car. This was too unfair to Zheng Qing. Having Li Longji as the emcee was also a kind of compensation.
Amid the surprise of the ministers, Li Longji strode to Qinglu and stood at the master's seat. The master was so panicked that he did not dodge in panic.
Ruizong whispered a few words in the ears of Princess Jinxian and Princess Yuzhen. The two princesses stood up, came to Qinglu, stood left and right towards Zheng Qing, and whispered: "Let's come!"
Qing'e hurriedly went aside. The Tang Dynasty wedding also needed bridesmaids. What a glory it would be for two princesses to be bridesmaids?
The Supreme Emperor Ruizong came in person, and the emperor was not alone, but he was a great mediator, and he was also an emcee in charge of the church. This was scary enough. Anything was enough to make people boast about eight lifetimes.
Now it's better. It's actually two princesses who are bridesmaids. The surprise in the hearts of the ministers is far beyond description. Many people opened their mouths wide and couldn't even say anything.
"Worship the heaven and earth!" Li Longji's clear-eyed voice sounded.
Chen Wanrong and Zheng Qing stood shoulder to shoulder, looking at the sky and bowing.
"Dear the parents of the high court!"
Chen Wanrong took Zheng Qing's hand, turned around, and bowed to Chen Laoshi and his wife. Chen Laoshi smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth, and kept saying, "Wanrong, good wife!"
Chen Wangshi smiled and said, "Wanrong, you have to treat your wife well! I wish you a long life together!"
"Thank you mother!" Chen Wanrong and Zheng Qing answered in unison.
"Do you three times to the Supreme Emperor!" Li Longji had a strange smile on his face.
Ruizong and Chen Wanrong have a good relationship, so they favor Chen Wanrong more and it is appropriate to pay homage to him. The two princesses helped Zheng Qing and came to Ruizong, and they bowed to Ruizong.
With the character of Ruizong, he was naturally very happy about this kind of thing, and a smile was everywhere on the corners of his mouth. His originally tired face suddenly shone brightly, and he was very happy and said with a smile: "Wanrong, Miss Zheng, I wish you a child as soon as possible!" He touched his hands on his body, and finally took out a jade pendant from his arms. He stuffed it into Chen Wanrong's hand and said: "Wanrong, this is what I gave to your children, you have accepted it."
Although this incident made Ruizong happy, it was too hasty. He could not find a better gift for a while, so he could only use a jade pendant as a gift. It can be seen that this jade pendant is very important to Ruizong. Chen Wanrong refused to answer: "The Supreme Emperor, this is not allowed."
"This jade pendant has been with me for decades, so I'll give it to you. Keep it." Ruizong's attitude was very firm.
Chen Wanrong had no choice but to accept it: "Thank you, Emperor!"
The ceremony of the church is over here, and Chen Wanrong sighed. He had been struggling for a day today, and there were even more powerful couples tossing each other at night, so he had to save some effort. Otherwise, he would be powerless and powerless at that time.
However, Chen Wanrong had not finished his breath yet, and Li Longji heard loudly saying, "I'm the big media four times!"
The matchmaker should thank him, but, in a bad way, it is to thank the matchmaker for "three or two of melon seeds, two or two of wine for money". There is no matchmaker like Li Longji who asked the newcomer to openly thank him, and the ministers were stunned when they heard it. Then they thought that he was the emperor and had his own privileges, so such a request was not excessive.
But no one saw a smile on his lips.
Chen Wanrong and the ministers had similar ideas. He was surprised at first, then relieved, and bowed to Li Longji with Zheng Qing. Li Longji received a big golden sword and said, "I am both a great mediator and an emperor. It is your duty to thank me. Oh, thank me, I have to give you a gift, what should I give?"
After thinking about it, he said, "Oh, there is." He took out a beautiful jade from his arms and handed it to Chen Wanrong and said, "This is not for you, but for your children. Keep it well."
Chen Wanrong thanked him for his kindness and accepted it.
Li Longji's voice sounded again: "Five worships the bridesmaids, Jinxian and Princess Yuzhen."
"This!" Not only Chen Wanrong was surprised, but even Zheng Qing was shocked and surprised.
Not to mention Chen Wanrong and Zheng Qing were surprised, who was not surprised by everyone? They all looked at Li Longji curiously. A sharp-eyed minister found that Li Longji was very different today from the past, with a hint of fun, as if a playful playboy got the toy he liked, and a smile was still on the corner of his mouth.
