   Chapter 117 Viewing the Ceremony (1)

   Afternoon, Li Jing returned to the palace from Lu Mansion.

   Coincidentally, outside the palace gate, he met the fourth prince.

   "Second brother," the fourth prince shouted affectionately.

   Li Jing replied with a smile, and walked into the palace gate with the fourth prince.

   "I went to Zhao's house today and was left for lunch." The fourth prince smiled and said, "Is second brother also having lunch at Lu's house today?"

   Li Jing smiled and hummed.

  The Fourth Prince is eloquent and loves to talk. Without Li Jing asking, he told Li Jingting about his trip to Puyang Hou's mansion today: "Uncle is not in the mansion, and my aunt is not too affectionate with me. Now I know what it means 'the more the mother-in-law looks at the son-in-law, the more interesting it is'. "

   Li Jing laughed and joked: "You are in the midst of happiness and do not know your happiness."

The fourth prince grinned: "I grew up with Cousin Yu and are familiar with each other. In fact, I already knew that I would marry her. Although she is a bit stupid, her heart is true to me. Therefore, I am willing to marry her. she."

   In the eyes of the fourth prince, the future wife should just focus on herself. A woman who is too smart and too powerful, he can't control or bear it.

   It would be better to marry your uncle's cousin as a concubine. Having grown up together since childhood, the stupid cousin is kind to him. It can make Empress Dowager Zhao happy, and can win the Marquis of Puyang for help.

   is simply a happy event that can be done in one fell swoop!

  Li Jing couldn't help but smile when he looked at the beaming fourth prince.

one's man meat is another man's poison.

   The fourth prince rolled his eyes, and suddenly laughed in a low voice: "I wonder how the third brother will go to the Meng family today?"

  Li Jing's smile did not change: "You are curious, just ask him if you don't know."

  The Fourth Prince: "..."

The fourth prince had been holding back for a long time, and he had a rare chance today, and he quickly said: "Second brother, the third brother used to like Miss Lu Fourth, there are not a few people in the palace who know about it. The second brother and the third brother also acted for Miss Lu Fourth. over."

   "Now that the second brother and the fourth Miss Lu are married, the third brother is not at all unwilling. Isn't the second brother afraid that the third brother will secretly hold grudges in his heart?"

  Li Jing glanced at the talkative fourth prince with a half-smile, "I know you like to join in the fun and ask questions. Otherwise, if you change someone else, you will definitely think that you are deliberately provoking."

  The fourth prince is very thick-skinned. He didn't blush when Li Jing teased him like this.

  Li Jing returned two words neatly: "No."

  The fourth prince looked in disbelief.

  Li Jing didn't explain his plans in detail, and quickly returned to his bedroom.

  The fourth prince thought for a while, but he still couldn't hold back and went to Jinren Palace.

   "Third brother," the fourth prince called out affectionately, laughing and joking: "You go to Meng's house, didn't your future mother-in-law leave you lunch?"

  Li Hao smiled: "You think I'm as cheeky as you are, and it's impossible to return to the palace after having lunch at Yue's house in the future."

  The fourth prince smiled and said, "It's not just me. The second brother also came back after lunch at the Lu Mansion. I just met the second brother at the palace gate, and the second brother has a spring breeze on his face."

  Li Hao smiled slightly.

  The fourth prince looked at Li Hao calmly.

  Li Hao quickly recovered as before, and smiled lightly: "Fourth brother, you came to me on purpose just to say this? Or do you want to take this opportunity to find out if there is any grudge between me and my second brother?"

  The fourth prince chuckled: "I just said it casually, the third brother will say it if he wants to, and I will never ask again if I don't say it."

   Actually, he felt like a cat's claws were scratching his heart.

   For a teenager who likes to gossip and watch the fun, it is too painful to have a big melon around but not be able to eat it.

  Li Hao looked indifferent: "I don't want to say it."

  The Fourth Prince: "..."

  …

   Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

   This day is the wedding ceremony of Princess Jing'an.

   As soon as it was dawn, the eldest prince and the eldest prince entered the palace.

   Concubine Meng did not like to see the eldest prince concubine, and looked unpleasant everywhere. He glanced slightly and said, "Ms. Liang, today is Jing'an's wedding ceremony. Why are you dressed so brightly? Are you trying to steal Jing'an's limelight?"

The eldest concubine bowed her head slightly and explained softly: "Back to the mother-in-law, the daughter-in-law is thinking, today is the sister's wedding ceremony, and the dress is bright and festive. If the mother-in-law doesn't like it, the daughter-in-law will change it. A little more elegant."

   is often made difficult and mean by her mother-in-law, and the eldest prince and concubine also have a way to deal with it. For example, when he entered the palace today, he brought three dresses, and the clothes on his body made a total of four.

   Concubine Meng Gui glanced at her seemingly submissive daughter-in-law and snorted: "Forget it, that's it!"

   The eldest princess replied softly and stood aside.

   The eldest prince also had no choice but to give Concubine Meng a soothing look.

   The eldest princess returned a gentle smile.

   Fortunately, Concubine Meng Gui's thoughts are all on Princess Jing'an today, and she has no time to be mean and critical of the First Prince. The place where the wedding ceremony was held today was in the palace of Princess Jing'an.

   Empress Dowager Zhao, as the grandmother, has not come yet.

   Queen Joe didn't come either.

   But all the daughters and relatives of the royal family came. In fact, it is the original Li clan. Because Li Yuan became the emperor, the Li family became the royal family. When one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven. This sentence is not true at all.

   Among the relatives of the Li clan, most of the closest members were awarded titles.

  Who doesn't know that Concubine Meng is Li Yuan's favorite? Compared with Queen Qiao who sits in the Jiaofang Palace, Concubine Meng is the one who can't be offended. What's more, the emperor has never established a prince. The eldest prince is so strong, and everyone is active, and they are naturally willing to show affection to Concubine Meng Gui and his mother.

   Among the clan’s daughters, there are two people who are particularly eye-catching.

   One of them is the princess of Dongping County.

  The Duke of Dongping was the cousin of Emperor Yongjia. After Emperor Yongjia sat on the dragon chair, he established the Zongren Mansion and made the King of Dongping County the Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion. The princess of Dongping County became the leading figure among the female family members of the clan.

  The other is the Duanning County Lord.

   The father of the Duanning County Lord is the second uncle of Emperor Yongjia. Later, the second master Li was killed on the battlefield, and his son-in-law was also a short-lived ghost.

   Duanning County Master's father and husband both sacrificed their lives for the Great Wei Dynasty. Emperor Yongjia wanted to take good care of his cousin, bestowed the position of the county master, and built the county master's mansion for her. The food and clothing are generally the same as that of a princess.

   Duanning County Master is twenty-eight years old this year. This age is not old, and with proper maintenance, it looks like only two decades.

   She was born gentle, beautiful, and dignified. She doesn't talk much on weekdays. After presenting the congratulations, she sits on the side while the audience speaks.

   At this moment, the palace maid came to report: "Report to the noble concubine, Miss Lu Si, Miss San, Miss San, Miss Zhao Wu, and Miss Zhao. Several His Royal Highnesses are also waiting outside the palace."

   Several future princes and concubines entered the palace to watch the ceremony.

   Everyone looked at Concubine Meng together.

   Concubine Meng Gui would never get up to greet the juniors, she smiled and told the eldest prince and his wife, "You two go out and greet them."
