The next day, Yun Zheng and Jia Yao got married.
According to the rules, Yun Zheng went to pay his respects to Emperor Wen early.
After a night's rest, Emperor Wen's complexion seemed to have improved.
However, Emperor Wen still looked sick as he sat there.
If it weren't for the look Emperor Wen gave him secretly, Yun Zheng would have thought that the old man was really sick.
I have to say, this old guy can really act!
Emperor Wen was not in a good mood. He said a few symbolic words and sent Yun Zheng away.
Yun Zheng bowed and took his leave, then took a large group of people to the temporary residence where Jia Yao was staying to pick up the bride.
All the procedures were exactly the same as his and Shen Luoyan’s wedding.
Although Jia Yao was not the main wife, this was a marriage between the two countries.
...
...
Its scale was much larger than when he married Chen Luoyan.
When they arrived at the temporary residence where Jia Yao was housed, the officials from the Ministry of Rites first said a lot of nonsense, and then Yun Zheng took Jia Yao to the sixteen large sedan chairs that had been prepared long ago.
In front of the sedan chair were majestic soldiers leading the way, and behind it was a long team seeing it off.
There were a large number of accompanying staff serving on both sides.
Flags filled the sky and canopies blocked out the sun.
This is more than just ten miles of red makeup, it’s twenty miles of red makeup!
After crossing half of the city, the long team arrived at Yun Zheng's palace.
Yun Zheng lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and welcomed Jia Yao out. The people next to him hurriedly handed over a red silk with a big flower on it, and the two of them held one end each.
Stepping over the brazier at the door, the two entered the mansion.
A long red silk cloth had been laid in the mansion, and officials of all ranks who came to attend the wedding were lined up on both sides.
Yun Zheng and Jia Yao, holding red silk, walked slowly through the middle to welcome the congratulations from officials of all ranks.
The gifts in the house have piled up like a mountain.
Some were brought from the imperial city by Emperor Wen and Yun Li, and were prepared by officials in the court.
Some were gifts presented by local officials of all ranks in Fuzhou.
Behind them, people from the "Beihuan Wedding Escort Group" also entered carrying boxes of various sizes, delivered the boxes to the wedding scene, and opened all the boxes one by one.
Looking at the gold, silver and treasures in the box, the guests couldn't help but be shocked.
Yun Li clenched his fists tightly and cursed Yun Zheng madly in his heart.
This bastard!
Bei Huan gave so much gold, silver and treasures as Jia Yao's dowry, but he still found ways to cheat her.
How dare he ask me to help him get the salary of the General of the State?
Shameless!
The most shameless!
Emperor Wen glanced at the boxes sideways, and even he cursed Yun Zheng for being shameless in his heart.
This rebellious son!
There are so many gold, silver and treasures?
I'm afraid these were all seized by him from Qiuchi?
When I went to Shuobei a few days ago, he even complained to me about being poor!
Well, I have to ask this rebellious son to offer some more gold, silver and treasures!
I sold all the valuable items in the palace to help him raise money for his wedding!
Shouldn't he compensate himself properly?
Yes, that’s it!
Emperor Wen was thinking secretly in his heart.
After Emperor Wen pulled himself together and led all officials to pay respects to heaven and earth, another series of procedures followed.
Although many processes have been deliberately simplified, they are still extremely complicated.
Fortunately, they were getting married in Sifang County. If they had been married in the Imperial City, they would have had to go through a lot of messy procedures including going to the Taimiao to comfort their ancestors and offering sacrifices to the heavens.
Emperor Wen sat there, and although his complexion was a little bad, he still tried hard to maintain a smile.
Yun Li stood next to Emperor Wen, and the smile on his face looked fake no matter how you looked at it.
This is Yun Li’s maximum limit.
If it wasn't because this matter involved a marriage between the two countries, Yun Li would have turned his face away on the spot.
After a series of complicated processes, their wedding was finally completed.
"Announce the decree!"
Emperor Wen waved his hand tiredly at Yunli.
Yun Li took the imperial edict from Mu Shun with reluctance and said loudly: "The emperor has ordered that the sixth son Yun Zheng should conquer Qiuchi and expand our territory for me..."
Emperor Wen's imperial edict not only appointed Yun Zheng as the governor of Fuzhou, but also included the establishment of the Northwest Protectorate.
As Yun Li read out the imperial edict in public, the ministers could not help but open their mouths in stupidity.
There is nothing strange about the Northwest Protectorate. Although it has not been officially established before, the news of its establishment has already spread. It is just officially announced at this moment.
But who the hell is this Fuzhou governor?
Yun Zheng is already the governor of Shuobei and the general of the auxiliary country!
Now, Emperor Wen actually wants Yun Zheng to concurrently serve as the Governor of Fuzhou?
Are you crazy?
By letting Yun Zheng concurrently serve as the governor of Fuzhou, doesn't that mean the door of the imperial court is completely open to Yun Zheng?
No one knows why Emperor Wen did this.
But combined with Emperor Wen's sickly appearance, everyone smelled something unusual.
"I accept your order and thank you!"
Yun Zheng received the order loudly.
"Sixth brother, congratulations! You are doubly happy today!"
Yun Li handed the imperial edict to Yun Zheng with a forced smile.
"Thank you, Third Brother!"
Yun Zheng took the imperial edict with a smile, "I haven't had a drink with Third Brother for a long time. I must have a few drinks with Third Brother today!"
“That’s for sure!” Yun Li forced a smile. “Today, my sixth brother has two happy events. I must drink a few more glasses of wedding wine to share in my sixth brother’s happiness!”
The two were still very restrained.
No matter how much they dislike each other, they have to pretend to be harmonious in this situation.
Otherwise, if Yun Zheng was embarrassed, the imperial court and Emperor Wen, including the crown prince Yun Li, would also be embarrassed.
"alright!"
Emperor Wen slowly stood up with the help of Mu Shun and said tiredly, "Sixth Brother, pour me some wine."
"yes!"
Yun Zheng immediately took the wine pot handed over by someone, and handed the wine glass to Jia Yao, and whispered: "Serve the wine."
After Yun Zheng poured the wine, Jia Yao served it respectfully.
Emperor Wen took the wine glass, took a sip symbolically, and then said to his ministers: "I was fishing in Qingshan Lake yesterday, and unfortunately caught a cold. I have to go to rest. I have ordered the crown prince to celebrate with you on my behalf. You must eat and drink well... cough cough..."
As he spoke, Emperor Wen coughed uncontrollably twice.
"Your Majesty is here to see you off!"
Everyone saluted.
Emperor Wen waved his hand weakly and was helped away by Mu Shun.
Yun Zheng and Jia Yao followed behind and escorted Emperor Wen out of the mansion.
After that, Jia Yao was sent back to the room.
Next, it’s time to eat and drink.
Although Yun Li was extremely reluctant to drink at Yun Zheng's wedding, he still had to do his best to save face.
From noon to evening, the guests gradually dispersed.
Yun Zheng brought some food and drinks and slowly opened the door.
In the room, Jia Yao had already taken off her veil and sat alone on the soft bed, not knowing what she was thinking.
"You must be hungry! Come and eat!"
Yun Zheng didn't mind Jia Yao's private removal of her veil.
It's just a formality, don't take it too seriously.
When they are not in front of outsiders, they can do whatever they feel comfortable with.
"It's rare that you still remember me. I'm almost starving!"
Jia Yao immediately stood up, walked quickly to the side of the table, and gave Yun Zheng another sly smile, "According to the etiquette of Da Gan, should we drink from the same cup of wine?"
"According to etiquette, we still have to have our wedding night!"
Yun Zheng glanced at Bai Jiayao.
"I have no objection to your wedding night."
Jia Yao smiled and said, "By the way, your father got sick because you asked him for Fuzhou?"
“That’s about right!”
Yun Zheng smiled helplessly and sat down opposite Jia Yao. "Eat quickly, we have something else to do later!"
