Chapter 416 Yan'er, I'm here to pick you up
Because the Duke's Mansion was going to hold a wedding, Xiao Chengjin specially gave all civil and military officials a day off.
There was a lively and festive atmosphere in the Duke's Mansion and the General's Mansion.
After Jiang Ruo and Xiao Chengjin had breakfast, they asked Xiao Fenghuang to take them directly to the general's mansion.
The little phoenix landed in the front yard of the general's mansion, and everyone knelt and saluted, saying, "Your humble servants, humble officials, and servants pay their respects to the Emperor and the Empress. Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, and a thousand years, ...
"Get up!" Xiao Chengjin and Jiang Ruo smiled at each other.
General Chu smiled broadly, "Your Majesty, please come in, Queen."
Jiang Ruo squeezed Xiao Chengjin's palm and said, "You go to the front hall, I'll go to Miss Chu."
Xiao Chengjin nodded slightly.
The general's wife hurried over and quickly stepped forward to salute: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
"Madam General, please don't be so polite." Jiang Ruo stepped forward and gave her a light support.
"Empress, I will take you to Yan'er's yard." The general's wife said with a smile.
The two of them walked and talked as they headed towards Chu Ruoyan's yard.
Jiang Ruo curled her lips slightly, "Congratulations, General's wife."
The general's wife chuckled and said with a hint of emotion, "Now that Yan'er is getting married, I can finally put my mind at ease."
Jiang Ruo thought about the gossip she had heard from Xiao Chengjin and said with a hint of meaning, "Young General Chu has already reached marriageable age, so it's time to put marriage on the agenda."
"If General Chu meets a woman he loves, he can go to the palace and ask for permission to marry her."
Mr. Fu’s granddaughter is almost becoming an old maid.
Alas, if I don’t seize the opportunity when I return to Beijing this time, Fu Xinwei will marry someone else.
Upon hearing this, the General's wife sighed softly, "On behalf of my son, I would like to thank the Queen."
"If my son finds someone he likes, he should go to the palace and ask for permission to marry him."
As they were talking, the two came to Chu Ruoyan's yard.
At this moment, Chu Ruoyan was sitting in front of the dressing table in her wedding dress, and the ladies who came to add makeup all congratulated her.
"Miss Chu, I wish you and Prince Ning a long and happy marriage, and eternal love."
"I wish you a happy marriage and a baby soon."
......
Chu Ruoyan curled her red lips slightly, "Thank you, ladies and young ladies."
These ladies finally understood.
The new emperor ascended the throne and was not afraid of the General's Mansion, so they should try to curry favor with him!
They were even willing to marry their second daughter to General Chu, but the general's wife did not have that intention.
After the General's wife brought Jiang Ruo into the room, all the ladies and girls quickly stood up and saluted: "Your Highness, your Highness, may your Highness live a thousand years."
"Everyone, get up!" Jiang Ruo glanced around and walked towards the dressing table.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone stood up.
Chu Ruoyan, who was sitting at the dressing table, quickly stood up and bowed, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to the Empress. May the Empress live a thousand years."
"Miss Chu, there's no need for the gift." Jiang Ruo took out the prepared gift box and handed it to Chu Ruoyan.
"This is the wedding gift that the Emperor and I have prepared for you. I wish you and Prince Ning a long and happy marriage."
Chu Ruoyan didn't hesitate and took the gift box with thanks, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
"You're welcome." Jiang Ruo blinked and took a seat with a proud attitude.
The general's wife quickly arranged for the servants to serve tea.
The ladies and young ladies standing by felt more and more frightened as they looked at Jiang Ruo, who was sitting there and exuding an aura of "keep away from strangers".
This queen is really not someone to be trifled with!
Yes, to be able to make the emperor willingly abolish the harem, the method must be very clever.
The atmosphere in the room was a little weird...
Ning Jinghuai, dressed in wedding clothes, rode a tall horse and led the wedding procession to the general's mansion with music and drums.
The matchmaker came to Chu Ruoyan's yard and shouted at the top of her voice: "The groom is here to pick up the bride!"
The general's wife covered Chu Ruoyan with a red veil with red eyes, "Yan'er, you must be happy."
"Don't worry, mother, Yan'er will be happy." Chu Ruoyan's voice choked with sobs.
Ning Jinghuai, who was "threatened" by General Chu, followed Chu Haoxuan happily, calling him "brother".
Chu Haoxuan deliberately put on a stern face, "Prince Ning, I'm warning you, be nice to my sister."
"If you dare to mess around with other women, humph..."
Ning Jinghuai said flatteringly: "Brother, I promise to be devoted to Yan'er."
Oh my god, my brother-in-law is so scary!
Even more vicious than my father-in-law.
Chu Haoxuan brought Ning Jinghuai to Chu Ruoyan's yard.
After Ning Jinghuai entered the yard, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Yan'er, I'm here to pick up the bride."
Chu Haoxuan carried Chu Ruoyan on his back and slowly walked out of the yard.
"Sister, if Ning Jinghuai dares to bully you, tell me and I will teach him a lesson for you."
Chu Ruoyan curled her lips slightly, "Don't worry, brother, Yan'er won't be bullied by him."
It’s not certain who will bully whom!
Ning Jinghuai echoed from the side: "Yan'er is right, she won't be bullied by me."
.......
After the wedding procession left, Xiao Chengjin and Jiang Ruo left the general's mansion.
"Xiaofeng, let's go to the Duke's Mansion."
"Yes, Queen Sister."
Xiao Chengjin looked at the well-behaved little phoenix, and a smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his lips.
"Your Highness, Your ...
The little phoenix let out a few long cries above the general's mansion and flew towards the duke's mansion.
The Duke's Mansion.
"The Emperor and the Empress have arrived." Little Phoenix shouted above the Duke's Mansion.
When the Ningguo Duke and his wife and others heard this, they immediately came out to greet them.
"Your Highness, your Highness, and your Highness the Empress, may your Highness live long and long, and your Highness the Empress, a thousand and a thousand years."
Xiao Chengjin raised his hand slightly, "Everyone get up!"
Duke Ningguo and his wife invited the two men into the house and ordered the servants to serve them tea.
Xiao Chengjin looked at Lord Wu, the Minister of Rites who was presiding over the wedding, and chuckled to himself.
Lord Wu rested for a few days and started to get busy again.
Thinking of this, he said to Lord Wu, "Lord Wu, Prince Beiyu and others will arrive in the capital in the next two days. I'll have to trouble you then."
Lord Wu chuckled, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. These are all my duties."
The Duke's wife, who was sitting on the other side, smiled and said to Jiang Ruo, "Your Majesty, I heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess is pregnant. You should also work harder."
Jiang Ruo's cheeks flushed slightly, "We will try our best."
Haha, Dad is such a big mouth, I guess by now, everyone in the capital knows that my aunt is pregnant.
The wedding procession returned to the Duke's Mansion with drums and gongs beating.
"The bride is getting out of the sedan chair!" The matchmaker and the maid Ling'er helped Chu Yanran get out of the sedan chair.
Ning Jinghuai, who had dismounted, quickly came over and said, "Let me do it!"
Upon hearing this, the matchmaker quickly stepped aside.
Ning Jinghuai, with a smile on his face, carried Chu Ruoyan sideways and walked into the Duke's Mansion, heading towards the wedding hall.
After Ning Jinghuai and the others entered the wedding hall, Master Wu shouted at the top of his voice, "The auspicious time has arrived. The newlyweds are here to pay their respects."
"First bow to heaven and earth, then bow to parents, husband and wife bow to each other, and when the ceremony is complete, they are escorted to the bridal chamber."
Ning Jinghuai glanced at everyone proudly, picked up Chu Ruoyan and walked towards the bridal chamber.
Xi Po and Ling'er smiled at each other and quickly followed.
My Lord, could you please restrain yourself a little?
Ning Jinghuai placed Chu Ruoyan on the wedding bed and kissed the back of her hand. "Yan... Madam, you should eat and drink. When I come back from toasting the guests, we will enter the bridal chamber."
Chu Ruoyan couldn't help but blush when she heard the laughter of matchmaker and Ling'er.
She deliberately said fiercely: "Hurry up and get busy!"
"Okay, Madam!" Ning Jinghuai stood up and said to the matchmaker and Ling'er, "Take good care of Madam."
"Yes, Young Master." Matchmaker and Ling'er bowed.
After Xiao Chengjin and Jiang Ruo toasted Ning Jinghuai, they found an excuse to leave the Duke's Mansion.
They secretly thought: as long as the two of them were present, everyone would be somewhat restrained.
Imperial Palace.
As soon as Xiao Chengjin and Jiang Ruo returned to Yongle Palace, Chief Steward Lin came over with a memorial.
"Your Majesty, this is a memorial sent by the deposed Crown Prince."
"I've already had the imperial physician examine it. There's nothing abnormal. Please take a look."
"Xiao Mocheng?" Xiao Chengjin raised his eyebrows and took the memorial.
"Ruoruo, let's go to the study."
In the study, Xiao Chengjin finished reading the memorial and handed it to Jiang Ruo.
"Ruoruo, what do you think about this matter?"
Jiang Ruo quickly browsed the content and sighed slightly.
"Just do as he asks!"
Except for Tang Shihuan and the little princess, all other women were dismissed...it seems that they have given in.
Xiao Chengjin nodded and called out to the outside: "Manager Lin, come in."
Chief Steward Lin entered the study, bowed, and said, "What are your Majesty's instructions?"
Xiao Chengjin glanced at the memorial and said, "Propagate my decree. With the exception of the deposed Crown Prince and his wife and the young princess, all others in the Eastern Palace shall be released as commoners."
Chief Steward Lin bowed and replied, "I obey your command."
After leaving the study, Chief Steward Lin took two palace maids and hurried to the East Palace.
Haha, it seems that the deposed crown prince has figured it out...
