It's the hour of dawn.
The gate of Zhangsun Manor opened, and the guards of honor, servants, and guards all rushed out. They were all dressed in red and held honor badges. It was really festive and lively.
The guards of honor lined up outside the manor. Following that, the sound of hooves could be heard. Zhangsun Chong rode out on a tall horse, wearing a red shirt and a green scarf. His face was full of joy as he walked out proudly.
"Congratulations on the marriage of the Young Duke!"
The guards stood on both sides, congratulating Zhangsun Chong.
Zhangsun Chong was even happier. He laughed and said,"When I bring back Princess Chang Le, I will definitely reward you handsomely!”
"Thank you, Young Duke!"
Beside Zhangsun Chong were two young men. They were Zhangsun Chong's younger brothers, Zhangsun Huan and Zhangsun Jun.
The two of them cupped their fists at Zhangsun Chong. Zhangsun Huan smiled and said,"Big brother, today you've married Princess Changle and become the son-in-law of the Great Tang. In the future, your official career will be prosperous and you'll soar to the heavens.”
"That's right, big brother. In the future, you will be the pillar of my Zhangsun Clan.”Zhangsun Jun complimented.
"Haha, don't be impatient, brothers. After I enter the court, I will definitely recommend you.”Zhangsun Chong laughed loudly.
"Then we thank you in advance, brother."
"We're brothers, don't stand on ceremony." Zhangsun Chong waved his hand and said,""My two brothers, what do you think of my attire today?”
Zhangsun Huan smiled." Elder brother is handsome and extraordinary. Today, good luck shines on your head. This is the auspicious sign of a dragon being born!"”
"Haha, well said!" Zhangsun Chong's smile became even brighter." Alright, the auspicious time has arrived. Follow me into the palace to welcome the bride!”
"Yes, sir!"
"It's time to welcome the bride!"
Bang! A golden gong sounded, and the honor guard set off.
The marriage of a princess was a major event for the entire Great Tang. All the civil and military officials had to be at the door to welcome the newly-wedded son-in-law.
Zhangsun Wuji was undoubtedly the main character among the ministers. Many of the ministers congratulated him. Of course, there were also some who were disdainful, such as Cheng Yaojin.
Cheng Yaojin looked at Zhangsun Wuji's smug expression and pursed his lips in disdain." Old fox, don't be happy too early. We don't even know if your son can marry the princess!”
His voice wasn't loud, so ordinary people couldn't hear him. However, Yuchi Gong, who was beside him, heard him.
"Old Cheng, what do you mean? Would there be any accidents if His Majesty arranged a marriage?”
Cheng Yaojin grinned." That's hard to say. Old Hei, follow me later. There might be a good show!"”
Oh? Yuchi Gong's eyes lit up, and he revealed a gloating expression." Alright, I'll follow you!”
"Look, the groom is here!"
"Look, Young Master Zhangsun is really a talented man. He's a perfect match for Princess Changle!”
"Exactly! This was a match made in heaven!”
"A golden couple!"
All the officials praised him, and Zhangsun Wuji was even more delighted.
Zhangsun Chong rode over and cupped his fists at Zhangsun Wuji." Father!”
Zhangsun Wuji smiled and nodded." Go quickly. First, go to the Dew Palace Hall to bow to His Majesty and the Empress. Then, go to the Changle Palace Hall to marry the Princess. Finally, go to the Dew Palace Hall to thank her.”
"Father knows that you are happy, but etiquette cannot be messed up.”
"Yes, I'll go first." Zhangsun Chong cupped his fists once more, followed by all the officials, before entering the Imperial Palace.
After Zhangsun Chong left, all the officials entered the palace and waited for the wedding banquet. Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong sneaked near the Hall of Eternal Joy.
Zhangsun Chong rode his horse to the outside of the Dew Palace. He dismounted and paid his respects to Li Er and Zhangsun Wugou. At this time, the Imperial Palace became lively.
Especially in the Changle Palace Hall, the palace maids and eunuchs were busy preparing the dowry and the necessary items.
At this moment, someone shouted.
"Where's the princess? Where's Princess Chang Le?"
"The bridal procession has arrived, why hasn't Princess Chang Le come out yet!”
"Hurry, hurry up and invite Princess Chang Le, lest we miss the auspicious time!”
The palace maid ran into the Hall of Eternal Joy and called out to Li Lizhi outside her room," Princess, the welcoming team is here. You need to prepare."”
"Princess?"
"Princess Chang Le?"
The personal palace maid called out a few times, but there was no reply. She waited outside the boudoir for a moment, and when she saw that there was still no movement in the room, she gritted her teeth and walked in.
"Princess, the bridal escort team has already…"
Before she could finish her words, she stopped abruptly. She looked at the palace maid again and was completely dumbfounded.
Her eyes were wide open and filled with fear, as if she had suffered a great shock.
Wasn't he greatly impacted?
She saw an extraordinary man from the British army carrying Li Lizhi. From the looks of it, he was about to escape!
"Who are you? Princess Chang Le…Ah!" The palace maid shouted and ran out of the hall.
This shout startled Cheng Chen. When he reacted, the palace maid ran away in shock.
Damn it! Looks like I have to hurry up and leave. Otherwise, I'll be caught!
However, at this moment, Li Lizhi woke up in a daze. It was only half a pill after all. The effect was not strong, but Li Lizhi was still groggy.
Li Lizhi saw a figure in a daze and subconsciously thought it was Cheng Chen. She didn't have the energy to notice that Cheng Chen had changed.
"Little brother, is that you? Where are you taking me?"
"Escape? Alright, as long as I'm with you, I'm fine with going anywhere.”
"I like little brothers the most." Li Lizhi hugged Cheng Chen in her half-awake state. When she hugged him, she was a little confused. Why did my little brother become stronger?
