Chapter 459 Jiji Extra (2)
The Shangshu Ling has a long history and is a veteran of three dynasties. He has great influence in the court, and even the emperor has to respect him.
If the person being arranged to marry is his granddaughter, it would undoubtedly be a form of seduction.
The more clearly a political marriage is, the more difficult it is to escape.
Seeing Jiji lowered his head and remained silent, the emperor continued, "You are deeply influenced by your senior sister and brother-in-law. It's normal that you can't accept it for the time being. Why don't you find a suitable opportunity for you to meet and discuss it, okay?"
The Emperor asked if it was possible, and he said, of course it was possible. What else could he say? He had already taken a step back.
As for how to find an opportunity to meet, the emperor said he would arrange it and Gigi didn't need to worry about it.
But Gigi always felt something was strange.
…
The day of the meeting arrived very quickly. Gigi originally thought he could escape for a while, but he didn't expect the emperor to be so fast.
A palace servant was sent to pick him up, but he was not heading into the palace, which made Jiji very anxious.
He originally thought that the emperor would hold a tea-tasting party or a flower-viewing party like before, but unexpectedly - he directly called him to the restaurant!
When he went up to the second floor and opened the door, he saw the emperor, the son and wife of the Shangshu Ling family, and their little daughter, who was the person he was betrothed to this time.
This isn't just a "meeting", this is the Hongmen Banquet!
After this meal, if the marriage does not take place in the future, it doesn't matter to him as a man, but the girl's reputation and reputation will be ruined.
Those gossipy women in the capital city might not know what to make of this little girl.
The emperor's move is so despicable.
"Oh, you're already stunned." The emperor interrupted his daze jokingly, "Don't stand there like an idiot, come and sit down."
Gigi performed the emperor's salute to his subjects, and then bowed to the girl's parents as a junior before sitting down.
He glanced at the little girl out of the corner of his eye again. Her face had already turned red, and she lowered her head so deeply that she didn't even dare to drink the tea.
"Everyone, feel free to eat and chat today." The emperor waved his hand. "Just pretend I don't exist. Don't be restrained."
Everyone became more restrained.
But it can be seen that the girl's parents are very satisfied with Gigi.
He was called "General Shen's son" and "the youngest grand master" and "handsome and elegant" and so on.
But to put it bluntly, these advantages were all given by his parents, and none of them belonged to him.
But that's true. We haven't had a deep understanding of it. How much can we know just by having a meal together?
Why would you marry someone you don't know at all?
The couples around him, senior sister and brother-in-law, Shen Huli and Sister Xia, all knew each other for a long time and got married only after they understood each other thoroughly.
He...
Fortunately, the emperor did not ask him to express his opinion on the spot. Everyone had a meal, talked and laughed, and the matter was over.
After the banquet, the emperor left him alone.
"How was it? Were you satisfied with meeting this girl today?" He had a look of "I told you so" on his face. "I've done some research for you. She's the most sought-after unmarried girl in the capital. Don't let her down."
Jiji secretly sighed that age is always more valuable.
Although it's not a done deal yet, it's almost certain.
Not to mention that this was originally a political marriage, the girl was shy and blushed easily, so she must have a soft personality.
If he refused, she would become a laughing stock in the capital.
He didn't want to hurt her.
Gigi nodded silently.
"Have you figured it out? That's good." The emperor regained his composure. "Tomorrow I will issue an edict arranging your marriage. The wedding date will be set in two months."
There was no question of his opinion, no room for negotiation.
…
The next two months are going to be busy.
There are a lot of things to do, such as proposing marriage, sending betrothal gifts, exchanging horoscopes, getting engaged, and finally arranging the wedding.
Oh, and decorate the new house!
He didn't understand these processes, so he had to ask the matchmaker to teach him step by step and prepare step by step.
How to invite guests, how to arrange seats, what to do when the emperor comes... I have to ask my brother-in-law for all of this and he is too busy to handle it all.
Fortunately, the emperor approved my leave, otherwise I would have been busy all day long.
When he was busy and it was late at night, he often asked himself, am I willing?
Do you regret getting married hastily without even meeting a girl you like?
I'm unwilling and it's a pity.
If he already had a girl in his heart, he would have rejected the emperor no matter what, but he didn't.
And I will never meet him again.
…
On the day of the wedding, Jiji wore a big red flower belonging to the groom on his chest and rode on a tall horse. He looked back from time to time at the sedan chair following closely behind him to avoid any problems.
People along the way, whether they knew each other or not, were cheering and blessing.
He saw his senior sisters and others in the crowd, jumping and waving, with smiles on their faces.
Do they all think this girl is right for him?
…
The marriage process was extremely troublesome because it was arranged by the emperor, and it was much more troublesome than the one with my senior sister-in-law and her husband.
What about using red paper "notice list" to invite elders and relatives to the wedding banquet, and the elders writing their own names on the front and below.
The parents of both sides invited their sons and daughters to eat a lot of things, such as steamed buns, clams, pork elbows, chestnuts, etc.
After the whole process, Gigi was almost exhausted.
If he is like this, let alone the bride.
Gigi looked at her a few more times and found that her legs were trembling and her body was shaking. She was almost unable to hold on.
He hurried over, supported her back calmly, and passed some spiritual power to her.
The bride felt much better instantly and was relieved that she didn't faint and make a fool of herself.
Gigi quickly moved away to avoid being seen, but it was too late. A group of people were secretly looking at him, shouting and whistling at him.
Among them was his senior sister Xu Chuchu, who played the flute louder than anyone else...
Jiji has never had a sister crush, but both Senior Sister and Sister Xia are generous and casual types.
Influenced by them, he also likes girls who are more lively and generous.
Shy and introverted girls are also good, but he always feels a little restrained and something is missing when getting along with them.
After drinking for more than thirty minutes, the bride was led into the bridal chamber by her maid.
Everyone was teasing Gigi and asking him to follow them in, but Gigi ignored them and continued drinking with everyone outside.
Drink until you lose all memory.
