Chapter 139 The Queen of Jin Has Arrived!
The bridal sedan stopped outside the gate, and Yan Li got into it without touching the ground.
Mu Cang lowered the curtain of the sedan, and looked at the slender figure sitting in the sedan through the faint red veil, and his heart was filled with emotions.
In a moment, he turned around and got on his horse.
Several young people who came to welcome the bride also jumped on the horse neatly, holding the reins and following Mu Cang.
The red carpet covered all the streets of the imperial city, and the streets were decorated with lights and colorful lights, and the gongs and drums were loud, making it very lively.
Master Jiang stood in front of the door, watching the wedding procession leave, and suddenly raised his hand and pinched his eyelids.
"What's wrong?" Old Madam Jiang noticed his movements and said with a mocking tone, "Do people feel reluctant to leave after they get married?"
"No." Master Jiang frowned, his expression slightly condensed, "It's just that I have an indescribable feeling, as if something big is going to happen."
"Isn't it a big deal for Yan Li to get married? Is there anything bigger than this?" Old Madam Jiang sneered coldly and turned to walk towards the inner house, "It's good that the trouble is gone, and it's better not to come back in the future."
It's good for them that Yan Li doesn't stay in this house.
Luo Shi won't be weird when she sees her, and Jingyue doesn't need to be compared with her anymore.
Tingyi and the other two don't have to lower their status and speak nicely to her.
Without her, the Jiang family has less smoke and miasma, and the whole family is quiet.
The wedding procession left the Jiang family in a mighty manner, as if it stretched for ten miles of streets.
The streets were full of people watching the excitement.
The children danced with excitement and joy, grabbing the wedding money and peanuts and dates scattered by the bridesmaid.
Eight tall horses led the way, and the young bridesmaid carried a red basket and walked along, scattering copper coins and peanuts with joy.
"Congratulations to the Ninth Prince on his wedding and marrying Princess Nanyang!"
"May the prince and the princess live happily together forever!"
The people picked up the copper coins and wedding fruits on the ground and waved their hands happily: "Congratulations to the Ninth Prince and Princess Nanyang on their marriage!"
"May the Mu Kingdom prosper and the Ninth Prince live a hundred years!"
"May Princess Nanyang be healthy every year!"
Mu Cang, dressed in a wedding dress and dignified on horseback, looked like a god, noble and handsome, with an overwhelming aura.
Hearing the blessings of the people, his eyebrows and eyes were obviously warmer.
His wish was that his beloved would be healthy every year.
May she live a life without illness and disaster, and be safe and smooth.
The noble ladies sitting in the restaurant and teahouse watching the excitement sighed with envy: "The attitude of the Ninth Prince towards Princess Nanyang is envied by all the women in the world." ŴŴŴ.
"Who would have thought that the cold and ruthless Ninth Prince would have such a tender side."
"How happy Princess Nanyang will be in the second half of her life."
"Yes, the Ninth Prince is not only of noble status and powerful, but also so caring for Princess Nanyang. How many men in the world can compare with him?"
"It's too early to say this now, isn't it?" In the midst of the harmonious envy, a voice that was neither yin nor yang suddenly interrupted, like a basin of cold water poured down, instantly extinguishing the excitement of the women, "It's true that the Ninth Prince is of noble status, so Yan Li is not worthy of him at all."
Several noble ladies turned their heads to look at the same time.
Princess Mu Yun of Prince Xian's mansion walked in, surrounded by several maids, with her chin slightly raised and a proud attitude: "The Ninth Prince takes good care of her, all because this marriage is granted by the emperor."
Several noble ladies looked at each other: "What does the princess mean?"
Mu Yun snorted coldly: "Yan Li is just lucky to be favored by the emperor, otherwise, with her status, she may not be qualified to be a concubine of the Ninth Prince."
Several noble ladies had different expressions, but they all kept silent and did not refute.
The wedding procession gradually walked away and meandered towards Qinglong Street in the east.
…
“Report!” The fast horses went all the way to the outside of the inner city. When the Imperial Guards came forward to stop them, the other party showed the documents and tokens in their hands, “The Queen of Jin has arrived with her envoys. Go and inform the emperor immediately!”
The deputy commander of the Imperial Guards Infantry Battalion received the order and immediately jumped on his horse without delay: “A team of ten people, follow me into the palace to see the emperor!”
The layers of checkpoints were passed on.
The news was sent all the way to the court hall in the palace. The monarch and his ministers who were discussing matters in the morning court were interrupted by a loud report: “The Queen of Jin has arrived with her envoys!”
“The Queen of Jin has arrived with her prince and envoys!”
“The Queen of Jin has arrived with her prince and envoys!”
One after another, the reports reached the emperor.
“Your Majesty!” Ye Qi, the commander of the Imperial Guards, hurriedly walked up to the hall and knelt on one knee, “The Queen of Jin has come with her envoys for a visit and has now arrived outside the imperial city. Please give your instructions, Your Majesty!”
The ministers in the court immediately whispered to each other.
As early as a month ago, we received the news that the Queen of Jin was coming to visit in person, and the Ministry of Rites had already received the imperial edict and made careful plans.
Today, the distinguished guest finally arrived.
And it happened to be on the day of the Ninth Prince's wedding. Did he want to come and have a glass of wedding wine?
Emperor Zhaocheng subconsciously grasped the armrest of the dragon chair: "Didn't they say they would arrive tomorrow night? How come they are so fast?"
"I don't know." Ye Qi replied respectfully, "I guess they may have rushed to attend the Ninth Prince's wedding?"
Attending Mu Cang's wedding?
Emperor Zhaocheng coughed lightly and sat up calmly: "Where is the Ninth Prince's wedding going?"
"The wedding procession has gone to Qinglong Street in East City."
Emperor Zhaocheng pondered for a moment, turned around and ordered: "Call the Ninth Prince."
"Yes."
The chamberlain stood in the main hall and shouted loudly: "It is reported that the Ninth Prince has an audience——"
The sound of singing spread outside the hall.
Emperor Zhaocheng looked around at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and said calmly: "The Prime Minister and the officials of the Ministry of Rites will leave the city with the Ninth Prince later to greet the distinguished guests of Jin. They must be respectful and courteous and cannot be neglected."
"I obey the order."
"Ye Qi, please send an order to the Royal Forest Army to maintain order inside and outside the imperial city and not to make any mistakes."
"I humbly obey my orders!"
The ministers keenly smelled an unusual smell and quietly raised their eyes to look at His Majesty the Emperor sitting on the dragon throne directly in front of him.
The Kingdom of Jin and the Kingdom of Mu are adjacent to each other, but they have been living in peace and harmony these years. Why does the emperor look a little nervous?
Emperor Zhaocheng suddenly said: "Here comes someone!"
"emperor."
"It is said that Mrs. Jiang and the old lady have entered the palace!"
"yes."
…
Almost at the same time.
A figure in green clothes walked quickly through the noisy crowd and knelt down on one knee in front of the wedding procession: "Your Majesty."
"The Queen of Jin and her envoys have arrived outside the imperial city, and the imperial guards have rushed into the palace to report to the emperor."
Mu Cang's hand on the reins tightened slightly, and he said coldly: "I am getting married today. Please lead the way. No one is allowed to hinder or delay the process of my wedding."
"I obey my orders!"
Yan Li sat in the sedan chair, wondering what the arrival of the Queen of Jin meant.
What does Mu Cang mean by this sentence?
Will the Queen of Jin prevent him from getting married?
Mu Cang looked at the long street in front of him and ordered: "Go faster."
"yes."
The welcoming procession left the inner city and headed toward the east city.
