Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 771: The Queen's Ceremony
Yang Liangao met with the Song Dynasty envoy Yang Yuan in the palace.

After some pleasantries, Yang Liangao told the story of the Liangshan native soldiers attacking the seven barbarians of Wumeng in a righteous manner.

He put all the blame on the former royal family, the Duan family.

Of course Yang Yuan knew the truth of the matter very well.

After all, the condition of ceding Liangshan Prefecture to the Song Dynasty was the most important condition for him to agree to help Yang Liangao suppress the domestic situation.

However, although he and Yang Liangao had a tacit understanding on this matter, the military and civilians in the twelve counties of Liangshan Prefecture basically succumbed to Yang Yuan's policy of "stick and carrot".

However, convincing the ministers of Daxing State is not a matter of just a few words.

And today, Yang Liangao is getting married.

Therefore, Yang Yuan smiled calmly and said, "Yang knows that this is Duan's responsibility, so I have no intention of engaging in battle with King Daxing."

"However, the King of Daxing inherited the Duan family's kingdom, so the great disaster caused by the Duan family must be borne by His Majesty the King of Daxing."

"That's right, that's right. Daxing is naturally sincere in resolving this matter." Yang Liangao quickly expressed his opinion.

Yang Yuan smiled and said, "That's good, in that case, let's talk about this matter tomorrow.

After all, today is the wedding day of King Daxing. I, Yang, would like to congratulate him. I will definitely ask King Daxing for a glass of wedding wine today."

Yang Liangao laughed loudly: "The angel has arrived, and I should have hosted a welcoming banquet for you, Marshal Fu. But today is also my wedding day, so I will host this welcoming banquet as well. Please forgive me, Marshal Fu."

Once both sides put aside their business, the atmosphere relaxed.

Yang Liangao led the ministers and sent Yang Yuan and his entourage to the Daxingguoguan Inn.

This inn is actually part of the imperial palace.

Now those members of the Duan royal family who had become monks have become monks, and those who had not been monks have been expelled from the palace. Yang Liangao has just become emperor, and he hasn't even married a empress yet.

So he didn't have so many concubines in the inner palace.

In order to entertain the angel from the upper kingdom who only appears once in a century, this area of ​​the palace was set aside as an inn to entertain Yang Yuan.

In this way, Daxing and the Song Dynasty do have similarities.

In the imperial palace of the Song Dynasty, there were often several signs for one palace, and the corresponding name of the palace would be hung according to its purpose.

Daxing is even better, as part of the imperial palace has been converted into an inn.

After Yang Yuan checked into the inn, Yang Liangao led his ministers back to prepare for the wedding.

Fortunately, the "wedding ceremony" was held at dusk, which was just after noon. In addition, the ceremony procedures for the emperor's marriage to the empress in Dali Kingdom were not as cumbersome and complicated as those in the Central Plains, so there was still time to arrange it.

Yang Yuan had just checked in, took a shower, and walked outside.

The gurgling spring formed a crystal clear pond in the courtyard, and the fish swimming in the water seemed to have no place to rely on, free and easy.

Dao Feifei walked quickly towards Yang Yuan.

"My dear husband, who do you think Yang Liangao is going to marry as his queen?"

When Yang Yuan heard her call him Yang Liangao by his first name instead of cousin, he couldn't help but smile: "How should I know? I only know you in Dali, and I don't know anyone else."

Dao Feifei felt sweet at first, but then she changed into a strange expression: "The queen he wants to marry is Gao Shuyao, my cousin, Gao Shuyao!"

"Girl from the Gao family?"

Yang Yuan thought about it and said, "Isn't that normal? The Gao family and the Duan family have always been intermarried. Now that the Yang family has become the emperor, intermarriage is inevitable. This is the only way to strengthen the cooperation between the two families."

Dao Feifei stamped her feet and said, "Oh, no, you don't know, Shu Yao...she doesn't like Yang Liangao at all."

Yang Yuan couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "So what if she doesn't like it? For a big family to marry, as long as both parties don't regard each other as enemies, then if it is beneficial to the family, the marriage will be arranged naturally. Is it up to her to decide?"

Dao Feifei nodded when she heard this: "That's true. But... Alas, Yao'er doesn't like him. She won't be happy after marrying him."

"Maybe after getting to know someone for a while, they will start to like something they didn't like before."

Yang Yuan took Dao Feifei's hand and said softly, "Didn't you dislike me at the beginning? A day of marriage brings a hundred days of grace, a hundred days of marriage..., in your heart and eyes, there is only me."

A pure and innocent woman like Dao Feifei originally could not understand the hidden meaning of such an ordinary sentence.

But I have followed Yang Yuan for such a long time. After hearing him say this and seeing his teasing eyes, how could I not understand?

Dao Feifei's pretty face turned red, and she punched Yang Yuan on the chest coquettishly: "Bad guy, you are a bad guy who is taking advantage of you."

Yang Yuan laughed, took her into his arms, gently stroked her still flat belly, and said softly: "Our child, no matter whether it is a boy or a girl, will never be asked to marry for the benefit of the family in the future. It must be the one he likes."

"Ok!"

Dao Feifei nodded softly and leaned into Yang Yuan's arms.

She was very happy, but she still felt a little uncomfortable when she thought of Gao Shuyao.

Because she heard with her own ears how Gao Shuyao said firmly that she didn't like Yang Liangao.

She knew Gao Shuyao's personality and it would be difficult for her family to force her.

So, even if she was half-hearted, that also meant that she didn't hate Yang Liangao as much as she said, right?
Dao Feifei no longer cares about Yang Liangao, but she cares about Gao Shuyao's deception of her.

Forget it, I don’t want to think about those unhappy things anymore.

I already have my own husband, and she is about to become the queen of Daxing Kingdom. It will be difficult for us to see each other again. No matter what her true feelings are, I don't need to go into it.

……

The ceremony of the emperor marrying his empress in Daxing Kingdom was much simpler than that in the Central Plains.

Especially when Yang Yuan came.

Yang Yuan was also going to attend the emperor's wedding banquet, so many of the parts of the ceremony that were considered presumptuous were eliminated, which made things even simpler.

And because Yang Yuan was there, they couldn't even call it the ceremony of marrying the empress, but instead called her the queen.

The royal banquet was sumptuous, but to be honest, it was a little too light.

With Yang Yuan's current heavy taste, he really can't get used to the drinks and food here.

Fortunately, he ate a lot here and there. The civil and military officials of Daxing State came forward to toast him one after another. No matter how perfunctory Yang Yuan was, he was still a little drunk.

Afterwards, Yang Yuan watched the ceremony with the ministers of Daxing State.

The queen was carried into the palace in a bridal sedan.

In fact, Gao Shuyao had already been sent to the bridal chamber at this time, and everyone only saw a sedan chair with low curtains and decorated with flowers and jewels.

Therefore, the four bearers carrying the sedan had it very easy.

Yang Yuan looked at the sedan chair with a smile on his face, and said blessings loudly, and an idea began to come to his mind.

Don’t underestimate Dali Elementary School, it is a place rich in minerals.

Look at the jadeite, yellow pearls, silver rings, rubies and emeralds adorning this sedan chair...

I have found a mineral vein that can be mined for hundreds of years, but I can't let Yang Xuan of Bozhou and Qiao Zhen of Chengdu return empty-handed.

I will extort a large sum of money from them tomorrow and then give it to the two armies.

……

After the queen was brought into the palace, Yang Liangao, the angel and the ministers drank together, and the ceremony of marrying the queen was over.

Yang Liangao returned to the harem, took off his heavy and cumbersome crown and jewelry, took a bath, changed into a light robe, and then walked back to the bedroom with a slightly frivolous step.

"His Majesty!"

When the four palace maids serving in the bedroom saw Yang Liangao coming in, they bowed to him.

"Get out!"

Yang Liangao waved his hand, and four palace maids walked out slowly.

Yang Liangao looked towards the couch and saw red curtains with auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes rolling left and right. On the bed, Gao Shuyao was sitting cross-legged with her eyes slightly closed. She was dressed in wedding clothes and was extremely beautiful.

That beauty seemed three times more beautiful than what he usually saw.

It’s like a...Miaoyu Guanyin.

Yang Liangao couldn't help but chuckle when he saw her closing her eyes and not saying a word, not even looking at him.

Yang Liangao was an extremely arrogant and conceited man. Gao Shuyao's repeated contemptuous attitude towards him had long hurt his heart.

Now that he saw that Gao Shuyao had no choice but to get married, yet she still kept her eyes closed and looked cold and arrogant, Yang Liangao felt uncomfortable.

After thinking about it, Yang Liangao opened a secret drawer under the dressing table.

This wedding bedroom was Yang Liangao’s usual bedroom, and some things had already been placed here.

Yang Liangao took out a thumb-sized jade bottle, pulled out the stopper, and poured some medicinal foam into the Heqin wine on the table.

He picked up the wine jug, shook the wine and medicine foam together, then looked coldly at the couch.

This medicine was given to him by a local tribal chief when he went to Tubo to visit various tribes to seek support.

It is said to be effective in stimulating sexual desire and improving sexual performance.

Yang Liangao was not actually keen on women, and because of his arrogance and his arrogant attitude, he never felt that if he wanted to get a woman, he would have to use such means to prove his incompetence.

But Gao Shuyao was even more arrogant and looked down on others than him.

The fact that they were the emperor and the empress had already become a fact, but Gao Shuyao still ignored him, which made Yang Liangao extremely angry.

Therefore, he wanted to feed Gao Shuyao a cup of wine that could confuse the mind and stimulate sexual desire.

If you look down on me, then I will make you kneel down and lick my boots.

It was you who took the initiative, even begging me to have sex with you like a dog in heat.

When the time comes, I’ll see how you can still act so cold and superior in front of me.

Yang Liangao pursed his lips and walked towards the couch with the wine glass in hand.

Gao Shuyao was very anxious. After such a long period of breathing exercises, the effects of the medicine were gradually wearing off.

But it was still a little short, and at this moment Yang Liangao returned to the bedroom.

Gao Shuyao already felt that the power in her dantian could be mobilized, as long as she was given a little more time.

At this moment, Gao Shuyao felt a pain in her cheeks. She suddenly opened her eyes and saw Yang Liangao standing in front of her with a sneer on his face.

Yang Liangao used force with his two fingers, and Gao Shuyao's cheeks ached, and she involuntarily opened her mouth a little.

Before he could struggle, Yang Liangao forced a glass of wine into his mouth.

"Snapped!"

The wine glass fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

Seeing that Gao Shuyao couldn't control herself and had swallowed the wine, Yang Liangao sneered, let go of her chin, and returned to his seat and sat down proudly.

Big horse and golden sword!

You bitch who refuses to accept my toast and then drinks the forfeit wine, when the drug takes effect, I want you to crawl over to me like a dog and wag your tail and beg for mercy.

After drinking a glass of wine, Gao Shuyao felt as if there was a ball of fire in her stomach, which quickly ignited her blood.

she……

Ok?
The poison that was contracted during the day would hinder the circulation of qi and blood, making people feel weak and tired.

After drinking this glass of wine, Gao Shuyao's Dantian strength, which had only been loosened a little, spread throughout her body like a burst dam.

Gao Shuyao suddenly opened her eyes, her cheeks flushed with excitement.

Yang Liangao smiled and said triumphantly, "Beg me, crawl over here like a dog, crawl under my feet, and beg me to favor you!"

Gao Shuyao stared at Yang Liangao closely, her eyes were dark and bright, as if there were two flames burning in her dark pupils.
