Chapter 126 A grand wedding
This is a unique favor.
The officials of the Yuwen family were all smiling and happy.
The only one who looked constipated was the head of the Yuwen family.
He became even angrier when he saw the pride on the second prince's face.
He was undecided about the emperor's mind, but how could a mere position in the Ministry of Rites be compared with the powerful Ministry of Revenue?
Even if the Ministry of Revenue is embarrassed, it still has real power.
The Ministry of Rites has no real power at all.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He planned to go see his good sister later.
After the court was dismissed, Wen Li followed the Minister of Revenue directly to the Ministry of Revenue.
He needs to understand, right?
Fortunately, the Minister of Revenue did not take sides, as he had learned the doctrine of the mean very well.
He is also a shameless person.
The Minister of Revenue was raised by Emperor Ouyang from a humble family, and all he had in his heart was the emperor.
"Minister Lu, wait a moment. I will go to the Ministry of Revenue with you." As soon as the court was over, Wen Li stopped Minister Lu who was in a hurry to leave.
Minister Lu carried the eldest prince on his back with an unhappy look on his face, but the eldest prince called him, so he couldn't pretend not to hear.
He turned around and a fawning smile immediately appeared on his face.
"The eldest prince is well."
"Minister Lu, there is no need to do this. I am now Minister Lu's subordinate." Wen Li knew this old fox, but seeing that he was devoted to the court, he did not want to make things too difficult for him.
"No, no."
In this way, the two of them walked towards the Ministry of Revenue step by step.
As soon as Minister Lu entered the Ministry of Revenue, he wanted to send away the people following him.
Unfortunately, he is a prince, and he...I, an old minister, can't do it.
I had no choice but to ask him to go with me to the office and sit down.
Minister Lu is a good man. He is devoted to the court and is therefore very busy.
As soon as he came in, he was stopped by someone below and asked to report something.
Minister Lu glanced at Prince Li and then sighed again.
"Your Highness Prince Li, why don't you sit inside first? I still have some things to do here." Minister Lu interrupted the person who came to report and turned to the person behind him.
Wen Li didn't care, he knew the Ministry of Revenue very well.
"Well, everything is up to Minister Lu." On the first day, be more casual.
It’s only been a short time, the end of February, it’s still early to stop writing.
Besides, the old man didn’t say how long it would take him to complete the third level.
From that day on, Wen Li began to work in the Ministry of Revenue.
Of course, this is just appearance. Everyone can see that the eldest prince is not liked by the people in the Ministry of Revenue at all and does nothing all day long.
He only drinks tea in the Ministry of Revenue and is not happy if the tea is bad.
Lu Shang was very troubled, but there was nothing he could do.
In March, the second prince's wedding finally arrived.
With the previous wedding of the eldest prince, the later ones were directly compared.
The second prince went to great lengths to save his own face.
But the Ministry of Rites only arranged so many things for him. If he wanted to hold a more grand ceremony than the eldest prince, he would have to spend his own wealth.
Where does he get his wealth from?
So he just used the money that the Ministry of Rites had to prepare for the sacrifices that year and would return it after his wedding.
He didn't even discuss this matter with his mother, but took action immediately.
Besides, his father asked him to arrange his own marriage, which must have been what he had in mind, so when he took action, he did it without hesitation.
He directly misappropriated two-thirds of the subsequent Ministry of Rites expenses.
How dare those people in the Ministry of Rites say anything?
Everyone sighed.
The Ministry of Rites has no real power, and the prince who comes from above is their heaven.
What can they do?
Look, the second prince’s marriage suddenly surpassed the eldest prince’s, and he showed the world the emperor’s favor for him.
Wen Li and Xia Yutong were sitting in the store opened by Xia Zixuan and Jiang Ce.
Looking at the people looting on the streets, I feel so happy for them.
No matter what, the copper coins they stole can buy them a meal of meat.
"You, my second brother, are really capable." Xia Yutong joked with a smile.
Wen Li was unhappy, "I, your husband, am more capable, and you have seen the world before."
Xia Yutong glanced at this man and said, "Be serious."
Looking at the second prince who was in such glory below, Xia Yutong felt sad for him.
Maybe he hadn't heard a word.
Praise to death.
No matter how much he is doted on now, once his background is revealed, the emperor will treat him like this and the people will be speechless.
It can stop the people from talking nonsense.
It can be seen that Emperor Ouyang is not an easy person to deal with. She is now glad that Wen Li is her own son.
It doesn’t matter if you suffer a little in your youth, because you will enjoy good days in the future.
Soon, Xia Zixuan and Jiang Ce walked in and interrupted Wen Li's hooliganism.
"Sister, your brother-in-law bullied you again?" Xia Zixuan was still young and had no experience in matters between men and women. Seeing his sister's shy face, he thought that his brother-in-law bullied her again.
Jiang Neng was older than him and knew some things. After pulling Xia Zixuan, he walked straight up to the two of them and sat down.
"I didn't expect the second prince to be so wealthy." Jiang Ce took out dozens of copper coins from his pocket in an unkind manner.
Xia Yutong's mouth twitched.
But when she saw Zixuan also took it out, she was speechless.
"You two are really good at taking advantage." Wen Li was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"This is money, it would be a waste if you don't take it." Xia Zixuan rolled his eyes.
Jiang Ce agreed very much.
Ever since he was old enough to understand, he knew how valuable money was.
Not to mention a few dozen coins, even if a penny fell on the ground, he would pick it up.
If he picks up more, he can buy meat.
After playing around for a while, the second prince's wedding procession passed by.
Fortunately, the imperial city’s guards are capable, otherwise something would have happened today.
It would be strange if nothing went wrong after spending so much money.
He didn't give out so much money at the beginning, and there weren't so many people rushing to grab it.
"Why don't you go to Prince Chen's Mansion?" Zixuan asked.
This place is not far from Prince Chen's Mansion. As brother and sister-in-law, they have to go there early.
"No need, I'll just come over later and take care of the meal." He had to eat back the gifts he received.
Wen Li is like a different person now, completely unruly.
Xia Yutong looked at Wen Li and curled her lips, "I heard that the imperial concubine and His Majesty the Emperor came out of the palace today." Ever since she became the eldest prince's consort, she asked Granny Zhou to give her some people and put them directly into the harem.
I got much more information than Wen Li.
Even though it's only been about a month, I can't resist his skills.
"Nothing, the old man told me a long time ago." After being in court for so long, the old man would call him over and "scold" him whenever he had something to do.
Outside, many things cannot be said too clearly.
Jiang Ce and Xia Zixuan were not in a position to know too much.
After enjoying a delicious hotpot meal, the two left Juxian Building and went to Prince Chen’s Mansion for a banquet.
The royal banquet was just so-so. Maybe a lot of food was wasted on the way. At the banquet, the food was really not as good as the one at the eldest prince's.
But the people who come here don’t come for food.
Everyone is here to win over the feelings.
The eldest prince was not close to the people of his own lineage. After showing his face, he left the Prince Chen's Mansion with the princess.
