rebirth will be hard to find

In the game between the monarch and his ministers, the emperor has already made a concession. Even if the ministers don't wink, they will no longer be stubborn at this time.So the two sides took a step back, and the matter finally had an acceptable ending for both parties.

Before the early dynasty was over, His Majesty the Emperor had already ordered Zhongshu Sheren to draft an imperial edict, to announce the decree of conferring the emperor's husband to the world.

The morning court of this day lasted until the afternoon, because apart from the canonization of the emperor's husband, Chu Yi has accumulated a lot of government affairs these days.One pile after another was dealt with, and when the matter came to an end for the time being, the time was almost up.

In the end, Chu Yi said to the Minister of Rites: "The matter of my big wedding will be handled by the Ministry of Rites as usual, and a charter should be issued as soon as possible."

The Minister of Rites glanced at Chu Yi. His Majesty's eyes were burning, and he seemed to be a little excited and eager. He didn't look like a wise monarch at all, but like a young girl with a spring... His face remained unchanged, and he bowed to answer.

After the meeting dispersed, Chu Yi left Cheng Zian behind, and took her back to Longteng Hall for dinner.

These days, he was afraid that his behavior would implicate Cheng Zian. Even if Cheng Zian came to ask for an interview, Chu Yi didn't dare to see her. God knows how much she missed her.Especially now that she can't become a cat peeping secretly every day, she spends so little time with Zi'an boy!

"How is Zi'an doing these past few days?" Chu Yi asked while preparing vegetables for Cheng Zi'an himself.

Hearing this, Cheng Zian glanced around for a while. An Yi led the palace people out early on, so she pondered for a while and said, "Shang Ke, it's just... I miss you a little."

Chu Yi immediately smiled when he heard the words, and didn't even bother to eat, and hurriedly said: "I miss you too." After thinking for a while, he deliberately explained: "It wasn't that I didn't want to see you last time, but because I was afraid that you would be angered." .”

This is about the matter that Taifu Zou asked Cheng Zian to persuade him to make peace before the end of the court. Cheng Zi'an understood and looked at Chu Yi with soft eyes: "Yes, I know." She also picked up food for Chu Yi and said: "I haven't had lunch yet, and His Majesty must be hungry too. Let's talk about this later."

The two stopped talking and concentrated on eating.

After the meal, Chu Yi stopped going to the imperial study to deal with the memorial, and took Cheng Zian for a walk in the small garden of Longteng Hall, telling Acacia and gossiping.

Cheng Zian said: "Li Lin sent an invitation two days ago, and his wedding date has been set, which will be on the fifth day of next month." She paused, and added: "He invited me to be his male companion."

The marriage was bestowed by Chu Yi, she naturally knew about the wedding date, and she was planning to go to watch the ceremony in person at that time, but the male companion or something...

Chu Yi suddenly said: "Zian, if one day, your identity will be announced to the world..." Cheng Zian thought of something, his face turned pale, and then she heard Chu Yi say: "What expression do you think Li Lin will have?"

"..." Your Majesty, so this is all you care about? !

Cheng Zian was speechless, but after thinking about Chu Yi's words, he replied, "It's probably... like the sky is falling apart?"

It's not just Li Lin, if Cheng Zian's identity is known to the world after Cheng Zian becomes the emperor's husband, then all the Chu people will feel like the sky is falling apart, right?Then official history or unofficial history can add a touch to the empress of Chu State.

Chu Yi didn't care about this, and was about to say something with a smile when he saw Anyi running over in a hurry.She restrained her smile, and waited until Anyi came closer before asking, "What's the matter?"

An Yi obviously didn't want to spoil the fun by coming out at such a time, but he didn't dare to delay the business, so he could only lower his head and say, "Your Majesty, the Minister of Rites is asking to see you."

Chu Yi blinked, and couldn't help asking: "How long has it been since morning, why is he here at this time?"

Of course Anyi didn't know, so he could only reply honestly: "I don't know, I'm waiting in the main hall under the eyes of my lord."

The affairs managed by the Ministry of Rituals are quite complicated, but it is not yet the year of the imperial examination, and the capital is also very stable, except that His Majesty has just ordered a grand wedding, nothing major has happened.Chu Yi thought about it, and finally went to see her, and naturally brought Cheng Zian along.

After meeting and saluting, Master Yu handed over a thick memorial: "The Ministry of Rites has made arrangements for your majesty's wedding."

Chu Yi was stunned by this efficiency. Although she said that it should be done as soon as possible, it wouldn't be too late for a meal, right?Judging from the thickness of this memorial, it is estimated that there is not enough time to write it.

Of course, this memorial was not written on the spur of the moment. In fact, the Ministry of Rites has been preparing for this since Chu Yi made the decree.Yu Shangshu has been in the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites for more than ten years, and has gone through four dynasties. He can see more clearly than others. The vigorous Yanping Emperor, the monarch and his ministers are fighting, and she will definitely not be the one who compromises in the end.

So the Ministry of Rites made preparations early on, and after Chu Yi gave orders today, Lord Shang Shu excitedly went back to pick up the memorial, and then rushed to pour cold water excitedly.

Yes, pouring cold water is not asking for credit, but pouring cold water!

"Next year?! Yu Qing, are you kidding me?!" After receiving the memorial, Chu Yi opened it, and then she didn't know what she saw. unbelievable.

Cheng Zian was a little puzzled, but Master Shang Shu was unusually calm.Silently appreciating the change of His Majesty's face, Yu Shangshu said sincerely: "Of course it's not a joke. The Ministry of Rituals also follows the rules. Your Majesty's big wedding and canonization ceremony need to be prepared, especially big weddings. Ordinary families get married, and the six rites are also required. It takes less than half a year to prepare, let alone Your Majesty, half a year is not too long."

Hearing this, Chu Yi immediately retorted: "That's not right, I gave Li Lin a marriage, it's only half a month younger, and his wedding is scheduled for next month, and it's ready in less than a month!" Why did I have to wait so long? !

Lord Shangshu gave an explanation: "The Li family and the Zou family have made preparations long ago. After the marriage is granted by His Majesty, there will be assistance from the Ministry of Rites. Naturally, it will be soon."

Chu Yi only felt that a pot of cold water was poured on his head, and the previous excitement was instantly halved.She suddenly regretted the months that she "wasted" to deal with government affairs and rectify the imperial court, and for the first time, she felt a feeling of envy, jealousy and hatred towards Li Lin...

******************************************************************************

The fifth day of September in the first year of Yuan Xing was the auspicious day chosen by the Li and Zou families, and Li Lin's marriage was scheduled on this day.

In the early morning of this day, Li Lin, who was the groom, naturally got up early to wash and prepare, and Cheng Zian, who was invited to be the male companion, also packed up early, went out and rode straight to Li's house.

Cheng Zian went early, and when the servants of the Li family led her into the main hall to wait, there was still no one there.But after a while, several male companions came one after another, and they all gathered in the main hall to wait for Li Lin, the right lord.These people are all good friends with Li Lin, except for one or two who met after Li Lin joined the Ministry of Industry, the rest are old friends who were familiar with Cheng Zian.

Li Lin usually looks carefree, but sometimes he is unexpectedly careful.After Cheng Qian's incident was reported back to the capital earlier, many former friends of the two of them showed an attitude of avoiding Cheng Zian. It was not until she was appointed as the emperor's husband by the emperor that these people's attitudes changed.It's just that such a change can't bring back the old friendship. Today Li Lin invited male companions when he got married, but he didn't invite any of them.

These people in the main hall were rare people who didn't follow the wind, and now Cheng Zian and them could talk about a sincere friendship.

When the few people met, they naturally exchanged some pleasantries first, but before they could say too much, Li Lin, who was the rightful lord, came out.He wore a bright red wedding dress today, his hair was tied up meticulously, and coupled with the joy on his face, he looked radiant, which made his usual handsome appearance stand out.

Everyone rushed forward and said "Congratulations", Li Lin was in high spirits on happy occasions, and smiled happily: "I'm going to trouble everyone today."

Being invited to be a male companion is naturally a very good relationship. The few people didn't care about the polite words, and laughed and laughed.But after a while, a member of the Li family came to remind him that the auspicious time was approaching.

Before Li Lin came out, he had already visited the elders in the family, and now he was just waiting to go out to meet his relatives.After hearing the reminder, he subconsciously tidied himself up again. After a while, the auspicious time arrived. Firecrackers sounded outside, and everyone followed Li Lin, mounted horses and sedan chairs, and went out to welcome the bride amidst the sound of drummers playing music. went.

Today is not the day when Cheng Zian gets married, but seeing the excitement in front of her, she can't help but think about what she will look like when she and Chu Yi get married.It must be more grand than Li Lin's wedding, and it must be more lively than Li Lin's wedding, but she probably has no chance to carry a sedan chair to greet her, let alone sit in a sedan chair. Thinking about it, she always feels a little regretful .

Cheng Zian was distracted while riding a horse, when he suddenly noticed a gaze on him.She looked in the direction she felt, and saw Chu Yi on the second floor of a restaurant on the side of the road, leaning against the window and looking at her with a smile.

Today when Li Lin got married, Chu Yi was going to be present to watch the ceremony, but as the emperor, it was obviously impossible for her to play around with this group of young people. went.In this way, there will be no excitement, let alone the boy Zi'an who is the male companion, so His Majesty decided to go out of the palace in low clothes.

His majesty's wayward Cheng Zi'an had seen it before, so he didn't feel surprised to see it on the street.Seeing Chu Yi's smiling face, she couldn't help raising her lips into a smile, and her whole body became brighter.

The young boy who was the male companion today obviously dressed himself up specially, with splendid clothes and a white jade crown, and he rode around the street behind the groom, looking very energetic and handsome.She looks good, even if she is not the protagonist of today, she is not inferior to the bridegroom in the eye-catching red robe.

Chu Yi, who likes to look at beauties, naturally has crooked eyes, but she is not the only one who can see beauties on this street.

The smile on Cheng Zian's face hadn't stopped before throwing a few fruits at her.
