Chapter 299
Queen Song hated it so much in her heart, but she did not dare to take it lightly.
After all, there are many people who survived falling off a cliff. What if Lin Qingyin was shot by an arrow and fell off the cliff and was rescued by someone?
It's better to be safe than sorry.
If that evil child is found, with the support of Duke Dingguo and Prince Jingbei, as well as Old Tutor Lin and the Yun family, it will be uncertain who will become the crown prince in the end if these people work together to support him.
She would never allow this to happen!
The news of the reward posted by the Dali Temple had already spread like wildfire. People were sure that the emperor was looking for someone, and teahouses and taverns were buzzing with discussion.
The woman sacrificed her life to save the emperor, but she did not enter the palace. Otherwise, she would have enjoyed endless wealth and glory just for saving the emperor's life.
However, whoever finds the people, the emperor's princes and princesses who are stranded outside, will have done a great deed and will be promoted to a higher position without a doubt.
Inside the house, Chen Wan was eating melon and listening to Yin Chuan reporting the rumors circulating outside.
In his previous life, the emperor never posted a notice looking for anyone, and no one even knew that the emperor might have a pair of children living away from home.
Chen Wan still remembers Xie Jingyu saying that the emperor was reluctant to appoint Xiao Yun as the crown prince. Maybe he had a suitable candidate in his mind, but it was just a fleeting romance and he was not even sure whether the prince really existed. Would the emperor have high hopes for him?
As long as the emperor does not enthrone Xiao Yun, it doesn't matter to Shen Wan which prince he enthrone.
After three days of eating melon, it was time for Chen Li to marry Princess Jiangling.
Chen Wan felt that he was looking forward to this day more than his elder brother.
Even if they were engaged, Chen Wan would not feel at ease until he really married Princess Jiangling.
After breakfast, Shen Wan couldn't wait to drag Xie Jingyu back to Duke Dingguo's Mansion to help. The prince and princess went to help greet the guests, and the fourth wife and Xie Zhiyao also went to help.
When Shen Wan and the others arrived, Shen Yu and the Prince of Zhaoping had also arrived, along with the Lady of Zhaoping.
Yun was happy, but also worried, and told Shen Wan and Shen Yu, "You sisters, take good care of yourselves, and you will be helping your mother a lot."
The young master of the aristocratic family was greeted by Xie Jingyu and the Prince of Zhaoping, as well as the Prince of Yuzhang and Chu Yang. After helping the Prince of Yong as the gate officer, they rode to the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion.
When Chen Li got married, they were so busy running around that no one else could be more busy than them.
The princess, the fourth wife, and the wife of the Duke of Wei helped to greet the noble lady, while Chen Wan and Shen Yu watched the ladies from prominent families playing in the garden. Yun Qing and Yun Miao could not play with those ladies from prominent families, so they accompanied Chen Wan and Shen Yu.
Wei Mingzhu and Zhao Ru also came. Ye Caiwei joined them in playing with the ladies, and their laughter could be heard from far away.
Just as they were having fun, a maid came running over and said happily, "Eldest Aunt, Second Aunt, the bridal sedan has arrived at the front street and will be there in a quarter of an hour."
"Come on, let's go to the front yard to watch the ceremony."
Wei Mingzhu was very excited.
When they arrived at the front yard, the sounds of suona and firecrackers rang out. Shen Wan wanted to go to the gate, but was stopped by Shen Yu, "There are too many people at the gate, let's not go."
In fact, the etiquette for getting married is similar, but Chen Wan just wants to see it.
But the eldest sister didn't let her go, so Shen Wan had to give up.
A certain gentleman has set a good example. Recently, at weddings in Kyoto, if the groom does not hold the bride in his arms, cross the saddle, and step over the fire basin, he is not a qualified groom.
Chen Li carried Princess Jiangling over the brazier and prepared to carry her directly to the wedding hall, but Princess Jiangling was too shy to resist and struggled, so he put her down early.
When we arrived at the main hall and were about to bow, a drake voice came over:
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Chen Ji and Yun were sitting in their seats with smiles on their faces. When they heard that the emperor was coming, they were stunned for a moment and quickly stood up to greet him.
The two of them didn't expect the emperor to come, and the ministers who came to the wedding banquet didn't expect it even more.
They knew that the emperor had always trusted Duke Dingguo and Prince Jingbei, but when Duke Dingguo's daughter married Prince Jingbei's son, the emperor went out of the palace to attend the wedding banquet, which was already enough face for them. They did not expect that when Duke Dingguo's son married Princess Jiangling, the emperor would come to Duke Dingguo's mansion to attend the wedding banquet.
The emperor trusts Duke Dingguo very much.
Even Xie Jingyu didn't expect the emperor to come. After all, Shen Ji had beaten the emperor up not long ago.
As an emperor, he was beaten by his subjects but he remained calm. It seems that his wife has a lot of face.
Well, the emperor hesitated whether to come to this wedding banquet. After all, Shen Ji was too presumptuous and so cruel.
But thinking of how young and weak Shen Wan was, Shen Ji and Yun took good care of her, sought out famous doctors, found all kinds of rare medicinal herbs, and even went to the palace late at night to ask for medicine. If it weren't for such dedication, Shen Wan would never have lived to this day.
Thinking of this, the emperor was filled with gratitude. As a dignified emperor, how could he still argue with a minister? Then he came to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
As soon as the emperor arrived, his parents' seats were taken by the emperor. The emperor did not hesitate and sat down directly.
Other people’s weddings are completed with three bows, but for the brothers and sisters of the Duke Dingguo’s Mansion, whether it is marrying or getting married, they bow four times. However, this is not a trouble, but a supreme honor.
Most people don’t even think about it.
After the ceremony, they sat down to eat. Shen Ji had not thought that the emperor would come, so the seats were already arranged.
It is difficult to make changes in a hurry. The Duke Dingguo's Mansion is different from the Prince Jingbei's Mansion. When Chen Li got married, the Yun family not only came to the wedding, but also had a very high status.
Old Master Yun and the two masters of the Yun family were all there, and they sat at the same table with Shen Ji.
The emperor came to the wedding banquet, so Shen Ji must accompany him. Old Master Yun said, "Let's go to the banquet."
"That won't do."
Shen Ji refused, and then said to the emperor, "Your Majesty will have to sit down."
The emperor said, "No problem."
However, a seat needed to be made available, so Master Yun Er tactfully left the table, and this time Shen Ji didn't stop him.
Old Master Yun had been in business all his life, but he never thought that there would be a day when he would have a meal at the same table with the emperor. It was like a dream.
The ministers' mouths twitched. How dare the Duke of Dingguo. The Emperor condescended to come to the Duke of Dingguo's mansion to attend the wedding banquet, giving him enough face. But he actually let the Emperor and the old man of the Yun family have the banquet together. Is he too busy to think straight, or is he too stupid?
This is simply humiliating the emperor. If Duke Dingguo is stripped of his title and beheaded one day, it will not be unfair at all.
However, what made everyone unbelievable was that the emperor not only did not get angry, but also took the initiative to talk to Old Master Yun.
All officials, "..."
Is this really the emperor?
Are you sure it's not a fake?
When did the emperor become so uncouth?
Among the four classes of people, scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants have a low status and are looked up to by few people. They would feel uncomfortable if they were arranged to sit at the same table with the Yun family, although the Yun family has a high status in Shen Ji's place.
Shen Ji arranged for the emperor to sit with the Yun family. The emperor was not angry, but chatted with Old Master Yun. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would not have believed it even if they were beaten to death.
The Yun family's status is not high, but the Yun family loves Shen Wan. Shen Ji is busy with military affairs, and all kinds of rare medicinal materials are found by the Yun family. The emperor knows this in his heart, which is why Shen Ji dared to arrange for the emperor and Old Master Yun to sit together.
