Chapter 277: It still takes some effort for the royal brothers to get married!
Then, Godley stood up and read the imperial edict.
The soldiers of the Eastern Expedition Army knelt down in unison!
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims that Lin Chong has led the Eastern Expedition Army to annihilate Japan and quell the Lotus Sect rebellion in Dongchang Prefecture, performing great service. Therefore, Lin Chong is specially appointed General of the Cavalry, and vanguard officer Yang Wan is appointed Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guard. This... is decreed!"
The soldiers who were awarded the title hurriedly expressed their gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"
Then the emperor looked at Jiang Si!
"Jiang Si, Lord Jiang's artillery played an important role in this Eastern Expedition. I hereby confer upon you the title of Prince!"
Jiang Si was stunned. She didn't expect that His Majesty would confer the title of Prince on her.
She was also the first female official in Dayong to be conferred the title of Prince.
Jiang Si hurriedly knelt down to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The Minister of War, who was standing next to the Minister of Justice, smiled.
"Master Jiang, your daughter is truly remarkable! It won't be long before she holds a higher official position than you!"
The Minister of Justice was very proud because this was his daughter.
However, the Minister of Justice still said politely, "Master Wei, you are too kind. Your daughter is the Queen, and her current position is higher than yours!"
The Minister of War stroked his beard and said, "Master Jiang, you are too polite!"
Imperial Censor: Are you two flattering each other?
The emperor drank three more cups of wine before taking Long Xianxian back.
All the civil and military officials in the court drank with the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition Army for a while.
Everyone was complimenting Lin Chong and others.
The palace was bustling all night, and people only returned home one after another in the early morning.
The next day, the palace became busy.
Today is the big day for the princes to get married.
The Imperial Household Department was extremely busy.
Stop going to court today.
There was a happy event in the royal family, and there was also a happy event in the families of several ministers in the capital.
The capital city was filled with joy and yet also busyness.
The emperor specifically approved the court officials to visit various families to attend wedding banquets.
The Emperor and Empress are also very busy today.
Several children of court officials were getting married, and the emperor and empress were going to serve as witnesses.
Originally it would be faster if the two of them acted separately, but because Xianxian was here, everyone acted together.
However, before that, the princes' wedding ceremony must begin first.
The princes are all in the palace today.
For convenience, several princes cleaned up together.
They are very nervous now because they are getting married.
The Fifth Prince: "Fourth Brother, are you nervous?"
The Fourth Prince: "I'm not nervous!"
But the Fourth Prince's hands were shaking!
The Seventh Prince: "I'm very nervous. I haven't seen my wife for several days!"
The Sixth Prince: "Stop talking! I finally calmed down, but now I'm nervous again!"
The Fifth Prince: "After all, Father and Mother will be nervous about their wedding, so it's okay for us to be a little nervous!"
The Fourth Prince: "Ahem, isn't that embarrassing? Oh, and where's my second brother?"
The Fifth Prince: "Oh, right, why hasn't Second Brother come yet?"
The Sixth Prince asked: "Who do you think is the wife of the Second Prince and the Imperial Preceptor?"
The Seventh Prince: "Don't you see that it's always the Second Prince who limps?"
The Fourth Prince: "But the princess is the imperial tutor!"
The Fifth Prince: "Fourth Brother, you often limp too!"
The Fourth Prince: "Bah, this prince's back is not in good condition!"
The Fifth Prince: "Really? Today is the day that Fourth Prince is getting married. You better stand up straight."
The Sixth Prince: "Speaking of which, today we are getting married, and no one is allowed to disturb the bridal chamber!"
The Fifth Prince: "Yes, yes, yes. Besides, we don't have time to make trouble!"
At this moment, a group of kids at the door showed cunning eyes.
Almost forgot about them!
Several people looked at them in unison.
The Seventh Prince: "You better behave yourself, or I'll make your Seventh Princess your teacher and give you tons of homework!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately dispersed!
The second prince was startled when he arrived.
"What happened to those royal brothers? Why did they all run away?"
The Fourth Prince: "Don't worry about them. Second Brother, you're finally here. Hurry up and pack up. We're getting married soon!"
The Second Prince: "Who wants to marry you? What nonsense are you talking about?"
The Fourth Prince: "I was wrong. I meant it's almost time to pick up the bride!"
The Second Prince: "Can't you see I came here in my wedding attire?"
Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect the Second Prince to clean up so quickly.
The Fifth Prince: "Second brother, when did you come?"
The Second Prince: "I came a long time ago. I just went to see my father."
In fact, the second prince went to the emperor and told him that he wanted to resign, but the emperor did not allow it and assigned him a lot of things.
The second prince is still having a headache now. If he had known earlier, he would not have gone!
Kunning Palace.
The emperor and the empress also dressed up carefully, both of them dressed very solemnly, after all, this was a wedding day for the princes.
Long Xianxian was also dressed up like a lucky doll, looking very festive.
The mothers of the princes also packed up and came to Kunning Palace to meet.
On the happy day of their sons' weddings, the princes' mothers were also very happy.
The emperor and empress had not yet left the house. When they reached the door, the empress stopped.
"Your Majesty, are you nervous?"
Emperor: "I am their father, why are you so nervous?"
Besides, it’s not him who is getting married, so he is not nervous.
The Queen: "But I am very nervous. This is my first time attending the wedding of the princes as a mother."
The emperor hugged Long Xianxian and said, "But this isn't your first time as a mother. Just treat them as your own children."
As he spoke, the emperor held the queen's hand with his other hand.
He took the queen out of the door.
When they arrived at the courtyard, the concubines were already there.
"Your Majesty, the Queen!"
Emperor: "Okay, let's go together!"
Then, the emperor and empress came in front, the mothers of the princes followed behind, and the other concubines in the harem also followed, and they came to the Taihe Hall in a grand manner.
At this moment, people from the Imperial Household Department and the Ministry of Rites have already set up the stage.
At this time, the Queen Mother also came.
When the Queen Mother saw Long Xianxian, she quickly hugged her and kissed her little face.
"Xianxian looks like a lucky doll today, so pretty!"
[The Empress Dowager is also beautiful. She is like a fairy! ]
With the blessing of Long Xianxian's spiritual spring water, the Queen Mother now feels twenty years younger.
The Queen Mother was so happy that she insisted on hugging Long Xianxian.
Someone from the Ministry of Rites came over and said, "Your Majesty, the auspicious time is almost here!"
Emperor: "The princes have all gone to welcome the bride!"
Ceremonial Officer: "Yes, Your Majesty, I think he'll be back soon!"
The emperor nodded, and a group of people came to the front of the stage.
The thrones of the emperor and empress were in the middle, and the empress dowager's were on the emperor's side.
The princes' mothers and concubines sat on the lower chairs on both sides of the Empress Dowager.
The other concubines were in the audience seats below the stage, flanked by civil and military officials who had come to celebrate, as well as those who had been crowned kings and had previously attended the wedding of the emperor and empress.
Some of the ministers had happy events in their families, so they sent representatives from their families.
Although the entire stand was not as grand as the one at the wedding of the emperor and empress, the rules set by the princes were also top-notch.
After all, six princes are getting married today.
The emperor treated the six princes equally.
This touched the mothers of several princes very much.
But unexpectedly, everyone was ready, but no one came back.
The Emperor: "Go and see, why does it take so long to pick up the bride?"
Long Xianxian laughed out loud.
[Hahaha, it still takes some effort for my brothers to find wives!]
