Ming Dynasty: The Jingnan Rebellion has just been successful, and Zhu Yuanzhang has been resurrected

Chapter 135: Grand Wedding, Lively Yingtian Prefecture

The next day!

Early in the morning, the entire Yingtian Prefecture became bustling with activity.

The emperor got married, and married three concubines at once, one of whom might be the queen. This was the first time since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Such a grand event was bound to be talked about by the people.

Of course, this is also because there are not many entertainment activities in the Ming Dynasty.

"I heard that Your Majesty once wanted to marry the noble daughter of the Duke of Wei, but was stopped by Taizu. Unexpectedly, he finally got married. What do you call this? This is what it means when lovers finally get married."

"I can understand the Duke of Wei's Mansion, but what about the Zhao and Zhang families? How did they get chosen by His Majesty?"

"I'm also very confused about this. Many people don't know the reason. However, I think since Your Majesty wants to marry the daughters of the Zhao and Zhang families, there must be a reason."

"Isn't that nonsense? I know there's a reason why His Majesty married the daughters of the Zhao and Zhang families, but what is that reason? It's a little hard to understand."

"Hey, why bother with so much? All we need to know is that the Zhao and Zhang families will rise from now on."

"."

On the streets, people gathered in groups of three or four, talking to each other. What happened between Zhu Yunhuan and Xu Miaojin three years ago was also dug up by some people.

However, everyone was confused as to why Zhu Yunhuan wanted to marry Zhao Rou and Zhang Yan.

The Duke's Mansion of Wei!

At this moment, the entire mansion was decorated with lights and was filled with joy.

"What do you think? Will Miss Miaojin become the queen?"

"Should they? What can the Zhao and Zhang families have to compare with our Duke of Wei's Mansion? If we let the daughters of the Zhao and Zhang families become queens, the entire court wouldn't agree, right?"

"Three years ago, His Majesty was very close to marrying Miss Miao Jin. At that time, no one knew where the Zhao family girl and the Zhang family girl were."

"That's true. I also think Miss Miaojin will become the queen."

"If Miss Miaojin becomes the queen, our Duke of Wei's Mansion will become even more prestigious in the future."

"."

The maids in the Duke of Wei's mansion were talking about it, and there was a hint of pride on each of their faces.

The queen came from the Duke of Wei's mansion, and the servants of the Duke of Wei's mansion were also proud of it.

Compared with the Zhao family and the Zhang family, the Duke of Wei's Mansion has too great an advantage.

Even if Zhu Yunhuan favored Zhao Rou and Zhang Yan, due to the general situation, the title of queen would most likely fall on Xu Miaojin in the end.

backyard!

Xu Huizu and Xu Zengshou were saying their final goodbyes to Xu Miaojin.

Although they could still see each other after Xu Miaojing married into the palace, the situation at that time felt a little different from now.

A daughter who is married off is like water spilled.

Xu Miaojin is their younger sister now, but after Xu Miaojin enters the palace, she will be a member of the Zhu family.

Although the relationship between them will not change.

However, by then, the relationship will definitely not be as pure as it is now.

"Little sister, after entering the palace, you must change your temper. The palace is not your home. You should think twice before doing anything."

"Big brother is right, little sister. You have always been independent-minded, but the palace is not a kind place. It will never hurt to be more careful in everything. Also, you must have a harmonious relationship with His Majesty. Once you are in the palace, he will be your greatest support."

"That's right, little sister, you are lucky. No one in the harem can make things difficult for you. As long as you have a good relationship with His Majesty, basically no major trouble will arise."

"I've been secretly investigating these past two days. His Majesty hasn't said who he wants to make queen, but it's more likely that you, my little sister, will be crowned queen."

"Don't worry too much about whether you're the queen or not, little sister. As long as you have a good relationship with His Majesty and can live comfortably in the palace, that's enough."

"."

Xu Huizu and Xu Zengshou spoke one after another.

Xu Miaojin was wearing a bright red wedding dress, with a smile on her face. She said, "Brother, Third Brother, I have taken note of what you said. Don't worry, I will take good care of myself."

Faced with the nagging of Xu Huizu and Xu Zengshou, she did not feel the slightest impatience, but instead felt a deep sense of happiness, especially her eldest brother Xu Huizu, who was worried about her situation in the palace the whole time.

Xu Huizu looked at Xu Miaojin in front of him, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing, just nodded lightly: "Yeah!"

Xu Zengshou thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Little sister, if you encounter any troubles in the palace, you can always talk to me. No matter what time it is, no matter what it is, I will help you!"

Xu Huizu frowned subconsciously when he heard this, and instinctively felt that what Xu Zengshou said was very inappropriate, but after hesitating for a while, he didn't say anything more in the end.

"Third brother, don't worry, I'll be fine." Xu Miaojin smiled and waved his hand.

She knew that Xu Zengshou had good intentions, but she couldn't put him in danger.

After marrying into the palace, she became a member of the royal family. Although Xu Zengshou was her biological brother, it would be extremely dangerous if she rashly interfered in royal affairs, and she would lose her head if she was not careful.

It might even affect the Duke of Wei's Mansion.

She saw this very clearly.

Public is public, private is private. If they are mixed together, something bad will happen sooner or later.

Xu Huizu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Xu Miaojin's words. He turned around and glared at Xu Zengshou, saying, "Understand your identity clearly. Don't get involved in anything. There are some things you can't touch!"

Xu Zengshou looked embarrassed and said, "I just want to help my little sister."

However, he didn't say much.

He also knew in his heart that the affairs of the Heavenly Family were not something that an outsider like him could interfere in, otherwise, Chunchun would be courting death.

"Dang Dang Dang!"

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Then, a servant's voice came from outside the door: "Master, the palace has come to pick up the bride!"

"Okay, I understand!" said Xu Huizu.

Taking a deep breath, he said to Xu Miaojin, "Little sister, please make some final preparations. My third brother and I will go out to meet them."

"Yeah!" Xu Miaojin nodded.

Xu Huizu looked at Xu Zengshou and said, "Let's go!"

After saying that, he took the first step and walked out of the room.

"Little sister, Duke Wei's Mansion will always be your strongest backing!" Xu Zengshou said. Without waiting for Xu Miaojin to reply, he stood up and chased after Xu Huizu.

"Big brother, third brother!" Xu Miaojin looked at the backs of Xu Huizu and Xu Zengshou, his eyes full of emotion.

Duke Wei’s Mansion, in front of the main gate!

The wedding procession formed a long dragon, with loud gongs and drums and firecrackers.

"The Duke of Wei's Mansion will now be completely tied to the Ming Dynasty."

"Sure enough, the first stop for the wedding reception is the Duke of Wei's Mansion. It seems that the Queen will end up in the Duke of Wei's Mansion."

"What you said, isn't it normal for the queen to end up in the Duke of Wei's Mansion? The gap between the Zhao family and the Zhang family is too big compared to the Duke of Wei's Mansion."

"Yes, the Zhao and Zhang families are completely incomparable to the Duke of Wei's Mansion. If the position of Queen falls to the Zhao and Zhang families, I'm afraid there will be big problems in the harem."

"From now on, the Duke of Wei's Mansion will become even more prominent."

"."

The area was filled with curious people, all chatting with each other.

Even though the military was dispatched to maintain order, the scene was still noisy. Everyone stretched their necks and looked into the distance, wanting to see what the future empress of the Ming Dynasty would look like.

Fang Xiaoru and Tie Xuan stood at the front of the team.

"Lord Fang, Lord Tie, please come in!" Xu Huizu came out and greeted them with a smile on his face.

"Duke of Wei, congratulations!" Fang Xiaoru bowed to Xu Huizu and congratulated him with a smile.

Even Tie Xuan, who always had a cold face, forced a smile on his face and bowed to congratulate Xu Huizu.

"Congratulations!" said Xu Huizu.

As they were talking, the group entered the Duke of Wei's Mansion.

In the living room!
Xu Huizu, Xu Zengshou, Fang Xiaoru and Tie Xuan took their seats.

The servants from Duke Wei's mansion brought tea.

"Lord Fang, Lord Tie, drink some tea to moisten your throat." Xu Huizu said.

"Okay!" Fang Xiaoru and Tie Xuan nodded.

After some pleasantries.

Fang Xiaoru asked, "Duke Wei, I wonder if your sister is ready?"

The time has been arranged, and he will go to the Zhao family and the Zhang family next, so he cannot stay in the Duke of Wei's mansion for long.

Xu Huizu nodded and said, "It's all ready!"

Immediately, he said to Xu Zengshou beside him: "Third brother, go and call my younger sister out!"

"Yes, brother!" Xu Zengshou stood up, nodded to Fang Xiaoru and Tie Xuan, and walked away.

Fang Xiaoru and Tie Xuan looked at each other, then stood up and left the living room, walked to the front door of the mansion, and prepared to welcome them.

They are ministers, and Xu Miaojin is the king. As ministers, there is no reason for them to be arrogant and wait for the king to come out.

Coming out early and bowing your head to greet them was the normal procedure. Xu Huizu followed Fang Xiaoru and Tie Xuan to the gate of the mansion.

"Look, Master Fang and Master Tie are waiting at the door. Miss Xu is about to come out."

"What Miss Xu? This is the future queen of the Ming Dynasty."

"Can you please stop pushing? People haven't come out yet!"

"."

When the onlookers saw Fang Xiaoru and Tie Xuan waiting in front of the mansion gate, they immediately became agitated.

Everyone knew that Xu Miaojin was about to come out.

"Calm down, everyone! Stand back!"

"Don't push forward anymore. If anyone dares to push forward, I will arrest you soon."

"."

Officials from the Wucheng Bingmasi shouted loudly to maintain order at the scene.

When they heard that they were going to be arrested, the faces of the onlookers changed. They just came to watch the fun, and if they were arrested for it, it would be totally not worth it.

The noisy crowd calmed down a little.

"Swish!" At this time, Xu Zengshou took Xu Miaojin's hand and walked into the yard.

Fang Xiaoru and Tie Xuan bent slightly, stepped forward consciously to clear the way, and walked out of the Duke of Wei's mansion.

Xu Huizu stepped forward, and he and Xu Zengshou held Xu Miaojin's hands on either side.

"The bride is coming out!" someone shouted.

The onlookers were in an uproar.

"Silence, silence!" The officials and clerks of the Five Cities Military Department felt the pressure suddenly increase.

Fortunately, the commotion did not last too long. As Xu Miaojin got into the bridal sedan, the crowd calmed down.

"Duke Wei, we will take our leave first." Fang Xiaoru and Tie Xuan came to Xu Huizu and bowed.

"Thank you both for your help." said Xu Huizu.

"Duke Wei, you are too polite. This is what we should do. At the same time, this is a blessing for both of us." Fang Xiaoru shook his head.

After some pleasantries.

Fang Xiaoru and Tie Xuan left.

"Get up the sedan!"

As a sharp sound rang out, the sound of gongs and drums became louder and louder, the sound of firecrackers became more frequent, and the wedding procession slowly moved.

Xu Huizu and Xu Zengshou stood in front of the mansion gate, watching the wedding procession go away, and then reluctantly withdrew their gaze.

"Okay, let's go back." Xu Huizu said.

As he spoke, he turned and walked towards the Duke of Wei's Mansion behind him. He would take a rest first, and then he and Xu Zengshou would go to the palace to attend Zhu Yunhuan's wedding banquet.

As a family member of the girl, he could not go, but he was also a minister under Zhu Yunhuan, and the Duke of Wei of the Ming Dynasty. With these two identities, he could go.

"Okay!" Xu Zengshou nodded and followed Xu Huizu.

In the small courtyard!
Zhu Yuanzhang stood in the yard, looking up in the direction of the imperial palace with an extremely complicated expression.

His eldest grandson was getting married, but as a grandfather he was unable to go to the ceremony to see it.

"Alas," Zhu Yuanzhang sighed deeply.

"Squeak!" The door of the courtyard was pushed open from the outside. Tang He stepped into the courtyard and was stunned when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang standing in a daze in the courtyard.

After hesitating for a moment, Tang He came before Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Your Majesty!"

"Tang He, are you afraid that I will feel uncomfortable, so you come to accompany me?" Zhu Yuanzhang stared at the palace and said softly.

Tang He shook his head and said, "No!"

"Huh?" Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard this. He turned his head and looked at Tang He with a puzzled look: "Then why did you come here?"

He was in a very bad mood right now. He thought Tang He came to comfort him, but he didn't expect it to be the case.

"I'm here to invite Your Majesty." Tang He said calmly.

"Invite us?" Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, his eyes puzzled.

"Yes!" Tang He nodded.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and stared at Tang He. Soon, he understood what Tang He meant. He shook his head, a wry smile appeared on his face, and said, "Forget it. I won't go over to join in the fun."

Although he was very tempted, he also knew his current situation.

If he attended Zhu Yunhuan's wedding now, he would be causing trouble for Zhu Yunhuan.

Tang He hesitated and said, "Change your appearance so that no one can recognize you, Your Majesty."

This was the confidence he had to call Zhu Yuanzhang. After all, he didn't have the courage to take Zhu Yuanzhang to attend Zhu Yunhuan's wedding.

However, if you change your appearance, it might be possible.

"Forget it!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

Disguising yourself might help you hide it, but what if you're recognized? That would be a serious problem.

He has already felt very sorry for Zhu Yunhuan, so it would be better for him to be honest now.

Tang He pulled out a bottle of wine from his bosom like a magic trick and said, "Since Your Majesty is unwilling to go, then I will accompany Your Majesty to have a couple of drinks."

Before coming, he guessed that Zhu Yuanzhang would refuse, so he made preparations for both scenarios.

"That's fine. We must get drunk today." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.

The palace!

Zhu Yunhuan, served by palace maids, put on the red crown and robes. The bright red color was perfectly controlled by him, making him look even more heroic and extraordinary.

Of course, the red wedding gown also slightly suppressed his imperial majesty.

"We're getting married!" Zhu Yunhuan looked a little dazed.

This was his first marriage in his two lifetimes, and it was a top-notch wedding.

At this moment, his heart was filled with excitement, progress, excitement, and complexity, as if a bottle of five flavors had been overturned. He couldn't tell what the specific feeling was.

But there is one thing he is very clear about: after today, he will no longer be alone.

He was determined to take root in the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, Lord Fang and Lord Tie are back!" Ma Sanbao walked over and said softly.

Zhu Yunhuan nodded, took a deep breath, and walked out of the palace.

Qianqing Palace!
At this moment, the palace was already filled with people and bustling with activity.

Everyone has a smile on their face.

"Li Jinglong, I treated you as a good brother, but you actually sold me out!" Zhu Gaoxu found Li Jinglong with an angry face.

Li Jinglong smiled and said, "Gao Xu, I was a bit careless that day. How about this, when your injuries are healed, I'll invite you to Yanyun Pavilion to listen to music?"

"Hmph, you're a sensible kid. Let's see how you perform when the time comes. Today is Hun Ge'er's wedding day, so I'll let you go for now." Zhu Gaoxu snorted.

Yanyun Pavilion is the largest brothel in Yingtian Prefecture and a famous den of brothel throughout the Ming Dynasty.

Although Zhu Gaoxu was Zhu Di's son, he did not have much money, not to mention that it was Li Jinglong who took the initiative to treat him.

At that time, he could use this excuse to fool Zhu Di. After all, he didn't want to go to a place like Yanyun Pavilion, but Li Jinglong invited him to go!
Li Jinglong breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward, winked at Zhu Gaoxu and said, "Are you still not confident in my ability? I will make sure you are satisfied when the time comes. Let me tell you, the top girl Ying'er in Yanyun Pavilion..."

Zhu Gaoxu interrupted Li Jinglong and frowned, "Shut up! Is what you said appropriate for an occasion like today?"

"Your Majesty is here!"

Ma Sanbao's sharp voice came from outside the palace.

The next second, Zhu Yunhuan stepped into the hall. He was holding a red rope with three knots in his hand, which was held by Xu Miaojin, Zhao Rou and Zhang Yan respectively.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Everyone bowed down and knelt.

"Everyone get up!" Zhu Yunhuan waved his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone stood up and stood on both sides, making a path.

Zhu Yunhuan took a step forward and brought Xu Miaojin, Zhao Rou and Zhang Yan to the wedding hall.

Everything has been prepared long ago.

Fang Xiaoru and Tie Xuan took a deep breath and walked forward to preside over the wedding.

"This Fang Xiaoru has really completely betrayed Your Majesty!" When everyone saw Fang Xiaoru presiding over the wedding, their expressions were extremely complicated.

Not long ago, Fang Xiaoru was still loyal to Zhu Yunwen and even dared to risk his life to rebuke Zhu Yunhuan.

As a result, he was subdued by Zhu Yunhuan in the blink of an eye.

Everyone looked dazed for a moment.

Everything seemed like a dream, full of unreality.
