Guo Xiao and Princess Duanhui’s wedding date is set on the 20th of the first lunar month.

In fact, the two people’s decree to give the marriage has already been made. The princess dowry that should be prepared has already been prepared. The Privy Council, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Households are intensively planning the crusade against the Liao State. The time was shorter, only two months, but on the day of marriage, it was still a sensation in the capital, and the people ran out to the streets excitedly to watch the excitement.

Guo Xiao was riding on the horse in a red robe, staring blankly forward. On both sides of the street, the people were all looking forward to it. They talked with each other in amazement and admired the long dowry behind the ceremony. Guo Xiao's gaze was occasionally swept across the faces of those old and young men and women. The cold wind of the first month blew on his face. Guo Xiao's eyes were cold, and his heart was cold.

He got married, and the unrelated people were happier than him, but he didn't feel anything, because she was not in the sedan chair.

Blowing and beating, the ceremonial guard stopped in front of the Guogong Mansion.

Guo Xiao is the elder son and the head of the future Guogong Mansion, and his wife is the clan wife. Therefore, although Emperor Xuande gave a princess mansion to his daughter, Princess Duanhui will still live in Guo's family in the future, and the marriage will also be in the country. It's done by the government.

For the princess's wedding, in addition to the family of the former kings of Chu who were imprisoned in Nangong, King Rui, King Shou, and King Gong brought their family to drink a wedding.

The male guests were watching the ceremony in the front yard, while several princesses and court wives of Song Jianing were waiting to see the bride in the back yard.

"How many months have you been?" In the Dongnuan Pavilion, Li Mulan was sitting next to Song Jianing, and asked her slightly drummed jacket hem. The weather is still cold, and the thick clothes don't show how big the belly is.

Song Jianing smiled and stretched out his right hand towards her. The little white hand looked like a new lotus root.

Five months... Li Mulan had the final say, raised her eyebrows, and smiled: "You slow down, maybe I can catch up with your second child."

This time, Li Mulan and Prince Gong would both go on an expedition during the Great Zhou expedition to the Liao Dynasty.

When it came to this, Song Jianing worried for her and couldn't help asking about Li Mulan's preparations, but Li Mulan was very fascinated. The only dissatisfaction was that Emperor Xuande insisted that she lead the army with King Gong. Since last year’s spring hunt, Li Mulan didn’t know which of the tendons was wrong. She took the initiative to dismiss those concubines, and went to her room with her face, so that she had to hire someone to prepare contraceptives, otherwise she took the initiative to dismiss the concubines. Li Mulan was really afraid that she would be pregnant with King Gong's greed.

As a wife, Li Mulan will give birth to Prince Gong, but that will be after she has been on the battlefield.

"How come the four younger siblings haven't moved for so long?"

The concubine and concubines had a good conversation, and Princess Rui suddenly interrupted, jokingly: "The three younger siblings are younger than you, and you are pregnant with a second one. We women, we should put our children first."

Li Mulan glanced at her lightly, and said bluntly: "The bird and the bird, each has its own needs, the second sister-in-law will give birth with peace of mind, and you will bother me."

Princess Rui was talking about having children, but Li Mulan only mentioned having children. To say that there is no irony about Princess Rui giving birth to two daughters, let alone Princess Rui, even Song Jianing didn't believe it. Song Jianing pretended not to hear it, and turned her head to serve tea. Sister Mulan didn't like to listen to others persuading her to obey her female virtues. Princess Rui came across this by herself.

Concubine Rui was so angry, she was afraid of being laughed at by other life-giving women because of her face. Concubine Rui grasped the veil, glanced at Song Jianing's stomach, and said with a smile, "I don't know where the third child is. Now I look forward to the third sibling to add a nephew to us and make the emperor happy. "

A joke, she is not the only one looking forward to her son in this room. She wants to see if Song Jianing is still a daughter, remembering Li Mulan's irony, will the relationship between the two continue to improve.

Faced with the provocation of Princess Rui, Song Jianing did not respond.

"Don't care, I only bother her." Li Mulan leaned over and whispered to Song Jianing. Li Mulan doesn’t hate women who obey the three obediences and four virtues. Everyone has their own ways. She was born in the General’s Mansion. She had witnessed her grandfather and uncle’s cousins ​​practice martial arts before she developed her pride. If she was born in an ordinary mansion, Mother has been disciplined since she was a child, and she may be the same as other girls.

Song Jianing is gentle and affectionate, and treats people sincerely. Li Mulan likes such a sister very much. But when she is replaced by Princess Rui, who is so talkative and likes to provoke right and wrong, Li Mulan is not pleasing to the eye.

"I know." Song Jianing winked her eyes playfully, "I only hope that Sister Mulan will win the victory and triumph soon."

"Sure." Li Mulan smiled and stroked her belly, "If it is a son, I will teach her three Highnesses, if it is a daughter, I will teach her kung fu in the future."

Song Jianing laughed. Sister Mulan really couldn't speak, but it seemed not bad to have a daughter who knows how to martial arts.

"Here is here, Lord Ma and the others are here!"

The Quan Fu people were excited outside, and the female relatives in the Nuan Pavilion stood up one after another and looked at the princesses.

Princess Rui took the lead and left. Li Mulan supported Song Jianing's arm. She was more nervous than Song Jianing for the child in her womb. She had never been pregnant before, and she didn't know that pregnant women did not look so fragile. Song Jianing was pregnant with the pregnancy very smoothly, and she didn't feel any morning sickness. It was only five months easily. At this moment, she was even more curious about the new couple.

Walking out of the hall, Song Jianing raised his head, diagonally across the corridor, the bride and groom held the red silk and turned side by side.

Guo Xiao saw Song Jianing under the eaves of the gallery at a glance. She wore a red-colored jacket, which was not very prominent among a group of noble ladies, but no matter what she was wearing, Guo Xiao would be the first to find her every time she met. How hard is it to meet once? Guo Xiao could hardly remember when the last encounter was, as if in a blink of an eye, she was pregnant again.

Looking across her abdomen, Guo Xiao lowered his eyes, but his hands holding the red silk were clenched.

After going down the corridor, the newcomers came to the guests. Song Jianing followed Li Mulan to one side, smiling only at Princess Duanhui who was wearing a hijab. Guo Xiao passed by her, but took the opportunity to look at her unabashedly, her white cheeks, her increasingly charming eyebrows, her sight seemed to have just been roasted from the fire, and it was so hot as Song Jianing. Can not ignore.

She pursed her lower lip, but never raised her eyes to look at him. She only looked at the burly figure in the red wedding robe and passed by.

"Mother!" After the newcomer passed, he showed excitement and followed behind Brother Maoer and Zhaozhao. Brother Maoer is eight years old, and he is still very competent in coaxing his niece, and Zhaozhao also likes to play with his uncle.

On the watery apricot eyes of her daughter, Song Jianing felt a little bit of his heart, touched her daughter's head, and went in together to see the groom pick a hijab.

The hijab was provoked, Princess Duanhui was dressed up, she was shining, she was a little bit shy of her daughter's family, but be bolder, and looked up at the groom openly. Guo Xiao finally laughed, his dark eyes staring at Princess Duanhui, the unfading fire in the faint eye, just like the bridegroom's desire for the bride.

Princess Duanhui felt nervous and lowered her head shyly.

It was about to drink a cup of wine, Guo Xiao sat next to Princess Duanhui, facing the female relatives who were watching the ceremony.

Uncontrolled, and didn't want to control, Guo Xiao looked at her again.

Song Jianing lowered his head and asked the little girl in front of him softly, "Is my aunt beautiful?"

Zhaozhao blinked and pointed at Princess Duanhui and shouted, "Auntie!" Not his aunt.

The female relatives laughed. Someone joined in to teach the little princess of Shouwang's family: "I used to be an aunt, but today I am going to change my name to aunt."

Zhaozhao saw that everyone was laughing, as if she understood, she obediently called Princess Duanhui's aunt.

Princess Duanhui hasn't waited much to see Song Jianing's mother and daughter. Only at this moment, she really scared the mother and daughter for a while, blushing and peeked at her groom's cousin. Guo Xiao was also laughing, but the smile was only on the surface. He took over the auspicious half of the gourd. When the palace lady poured the wine, he immediately poured it into his mouth. However, the wine was not strong at all, and it was not as good as the one in his body. Fiery.

After doing his best, Guo Xiao went to the front yard to accompany the guests, and took away Brother Mao by the way.

Zhao Zhao still wanted to follow. Song Jianing didn't let it go, and when the sky went dark, she led her daughter back to her palace first.

The princes of Zhao Heng still have to socialize. Princess Duanhui is unruly and willful, but after all, she is the only princess in the palace. Except for Zhao Heng, King Rui, King Gong, including the former kings of Chu, love Princess Duanhui very much. Today Guo Xiao married their sisters, King Rui and Gong. Wang Naken easily spared Guo Xiao and kept drinking.

Zhao Heng had no intention of joining in the fun, sitting on the seat and drinking himself.

"The third child, tonight, you're just a brother-in-law, not a sister-in-law, come and irrigate him!" Guo Xiao is too drunk, and King Rui is a little bit overwhelmed. He caught a glimpse of the third child who was out there like a fairy. I also look forward to seeing the youngest being drunk and embarrassed.

Guo Xiao listened, put down the wine bowl he had just emptied, and turned to Zhao Heng.

Not far away, Guo Boyan's heart jumped, worrying that the eldest son would cause trouble by drinking too much.

Guo Xiao knew that his father was watching him, so he didn't say anything. He just took the wine bowl from someone who didn't know him. Before drinking, don't smile deeply at King Shou. That was a provocation among men. Zhao Heng understood. After seeing Guo Xiao finished drinking this bowl, Zhao Heng walked over with his own and said to Guo Xiao politely: "Congratulations."

Guo Xiao stared at him tightly.

Zhao Heng understood the look in his eyes, but Wang Gong and others straightened their eyes when Guo Xiao drank, booing and pouring another bowl. Guo Xiao raised his bowl and touched Zhao Heng, then raised his head and drank without leaking. Zhao Heng only meant to take a sip. After Guo Xiao finished drinking, seeing him like this, he sneered and said, "Isn't the prince afraid?"

Rui Wang took the lead and laughed.

Zhao Heng also laughed and apologized: "I don't like wine, so I drink less, just laughed."

Guo Xiao's eyes were cold. Is it obvious that he is not happy with alcohol, or is she?

"It's getting late, I'll leave first." After paying respect to the bridegroom, Zhao Heng handed the wine bowl to Father Fu, who had been waiting by his side, and then left without anyone else. Guo Boyan went to see off the guests respectfully, Guo Xiao frowned, but was soon surrounded by a crowd of men, pouring him bowl after bowl.

Guo Xiao refused to come, and sent someone to pick up a new one when he emptied the altar. Ashun was shocked to see. The grandfather of the prince’s wedding, drinking wine is indispensable at the dinner. The grandfather of the country asked him in advance to add some water to the prince’s wine jar. If this continues, can the eldest son still have a bridal chamber?
