Even if it didn't rain, his mother still had to get married.
Brand-new carriages were painted red, and the curtains were carved with dragons and phoenixes.
The guards escorting the bride were selected from the capital camp, and the dowry maids were only Liu 'er, Xing' er, and Feng 'er.
The convoy was not luxurious, but the etiquette displayed was extremely high-end. The brocade silk, gold, silver, and jewelry bestowed by the Emperor, as well as many calligraphy and painting books, were enough to make the people inside and outside the capital marvel.
The minor characters could only see the surface, and the inner relationship could only be guessed.
The main road, where the snow had gradually melted and cleared, was cleaned again. From the entrance of the palace gate, all the way to Chongwen Gate, flags fluttered along the street, and soldiers stood in great numbers.
The Emperor used the highest standard of lineup to escort Empress Yi 'an to a faraway marriage.
However, Chongzhen himself did not show up.
The sound of firecrackers rang out. There were no dazzling fireworks, but there were muskets, red cannons, and many other firearms from the earliest era.
The gongs and drums sounded. With the help of the palace maids, Empress Yi 'an got into the red carriage.
The curtain was slowly closed. According to feudal etiquette, from this moment on, women could no longer lift the veil.
"Empress…"
"Wuwuwu…"
Empress Zhou, Noble Consort Tian, Princess Changping Zhu Xi Xi, the eldest son of the Emperor Zhu Ci Xi, and many other relatives of the Emperor had all come. A large group of people, all dressed in formal attire, would send off the Empress with the highest etiquette.
A red carpet was laid from the Palace of Benevolence and Longevity all the way to the palace gates.
Minister of Rites Qian Qianyi, Chief Assistant Zhou Yanru, and the other three dukes and nine ministers all knelt down and watched as the carriage drove away.
No matter how reluctant she was, Empress Yi 'an finally left the capital. The wheels of the carriage creaked as they rolled over the bluestone slabs, entering the official road and galloping all the way north.
He left.
Empress Yi 'an was still a little reluctant. After leaving Chongwen Gate, she could not help but secretly lift a corner of the curtain and look back reluctantly.
In this day and age, a woman married for a lifetime.
Moreover, it was a man like Chu Feng who had almost died. Zhang Yan did not think that she could return.
The journey to the outside of the pass was far, and the carriage was not cavalry, so it would take at least three days.
"Empress…"
The palace maid, Xing 'er, who was sitting at the side, had cried her tears dry. She was still sobbing."What does that Chu Feng look like?”
"How would I know?"
Empress Yi 'an, Zhang Yan, was like a biological sister as she handed over the silk."Don't cry anymore. Are you guys making my marriage unhappy?”
"That's not true…"
Liu 'er pursed her lips and snorted." It's just…just that when I think about how the Empress spent the rest of her life with Chu Feng, I…I'm very angry."”
"Alright."
Empress Yi 'an gradually became indifferent."All the women in the royal family are pitiful. Since he cared about the common people, what about life and death? Moreover, since Chu Feng was a young boy, his appearance shouldn't be too bad, right?”
"What if it's extremely ugly?"
Liu 'er didn't think much of it and was angry.
"If it's really ugly…"
Empress Yi 'an began to lighten the atmosphere and teased,""Then…I'll switch with Feng 'er. I'll pretend to be a palace maid and Feng' er will marry on my behalf.”
"Ah?"
"Pfft…"
"Hehehe…"
The palace maid Feng 'er, who had been silently crying, was first shocked, causing Liu' er and Xing 'er to be unable to hold back their laughter. Empress Yi' an could not help but cover her mouth and laugh.
"Niangniang, I think we should let Xing 'er go.”
"Let Xing 'er squeeze that man dry, until he can't send troops to the Ming Dynasty, until he…" Liu' er said with a wicked smile.
"Ah! Liu 'er, I'll strangle you to death, I'll let you spout nonsense…"
Xing 'er didn't have the mood to cry anymore. She playfully pounced on Liu' er.
The atmosphere in the car finally relaxed. It was a good wedding, but everyone made it seem like a funeral this morning.
Empress Yi 'an also secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She leaned to the side and sweetly watched this group of little girls make a scene.
He didn't care at all.
After all, she didn't know if she would still have such freedom in Shengjing.
…………
The Great Ming Imperial Court was not having an easy time, so the bet was placed.
Empress Yi 'an was not relaxed. She was not sure if she could change the situation outside Great Ming Pass.
Overseer Yuan was also not relaxed.
At noon yesterday, he had received an imperial edict from Emperor Chongzhen. He had thought that this was the final result of his punishment, but he had not expected to receive the news that Empress Yi 'an had remarried to Chu Feng.
At that time, he was completely dumbfounded.
The old man read the imperial edict again and again, and it took him a long time to confirm that it was true.
This was another f * cking headache.
After receiving the imperial edict, he spent half a day thinking about it in the government office. This morning, he personally changed into his official uniform, brought Zu Dashou, and led hundreds of guards out of the city.
As for what to do?
Nonsense, of course, he had to go to Shengjing.
The Empress was coming soon, so someone had to be the middleman, right?
Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao in the Ming Dynasty, was the matchmaker, the witness of the marriage, and the middleman of all kinds of etiquette.
"Sigh…"
Sitting on the horse, looking at the boundless horizon, Overseer Yuan sighed heavily.
"It's really unprecedented for a war to end up like this.”
Zu Dashou kept cursing and said angrily,"Since Your Majesty has decided to marry Empress Yi 'an, why didn't you send someone from the Ministry of Rites? How can we martial artists do such a thing?”
"The Empress remarried. This is the action of a fatuous ruler. How proud is our Emperor? If he was helpless, how could he end up like this?”
Yuan Chonghuan seemed to understand."You've brought your gifts."
"According to the Ministry of Rites, there is no lack of either.”
Zu Dashou looked at the carriage behind him angrily.
The betrothal gift was given.
Naturally, it was not the man who wanted to give the bride a betrothal gift. There was no other way. It was just that humble.
"It is said that Empress Yi 'an departed from the capital early this morning. If the discussion with Chu Feng goes smoothly, you can inform the bridal convoy to head straight for Shengjing.”
Overseer Yuan was so worried that his facial features were distorted."This old master is only afraid that Chu Feng will play tricks again. If this is the case, Empress Yi 'an can only temporarily stay at Shanhai Pass.”
"This…is inappropriate?"
Zu Dashou's eyes widened like copper bells.""The Empress remarried him, how could he reject her?”
"Ha…"
When he thought of Chu Feng's face, Yuan Chonghuan sneered,""If things were as one wishes, he wouldn't be Chu Feng.”
"This isn't appropriate, Overseer."
Zu Dashou really couldn't accept this conjecture."If Chu Feng really refuses, His Majesty will definitely use all the power of the country to fight a bloody battle in Shengjing.”
"Chu Feng is a barefooted person. How can he be afraid of the Imperial Court's bunch of people wearing shoes?”
It was still Overseer Yuan who thought it through. He then let out a cold breath,"Forget it, let's improvise."
After a few days without wind or snow, the snow on the ground had melted quite a bit, making the dry and cold weather a little more relaxing.
