The Palace of Peach and Plum

With Da Yan's strength in leaving the mission, Ling Wei, who was a little worried, was completely relieved.

He is not worried about it. If there is any mistake in this, it is estimated that he will be pulled to plug the leak-who makes him a universal brick. Now that it’s okay, he is free.

But it can't be said that when he is free, he has a new job-preparing for the prince's wedding.

"...This is not a matter of the Ministry of Rites?" When Ling Wei received the order, he thought he had heard it wrong.

"I don't trust it to others." As the wedding of his favorite son, Li Li naturally hopes to be perfect. After much deliberation, he still trusted Ling Wei the most.

Ling Wei read the books and loved the prince. He must be able to make the prince not tired and beautiful.

"But..." Ling Wei hesitated, "If the minister intervenes in the ceremonial department like this, it is estimated that the adults in the ceremonial department will not accept the minister, right?"

"How difficult is this?" Li Li waved a big hand, "The Minister of Etiquette has just returned home to the old man, you can make up for it."

Ling Wei: "..."

Ling Wei: "Your Majesty, this servant of the Ministry of Rites has returned to his hometown. There must be someone who can make up for it? Isn't it good for the minister to drop into this position by air?"

"What's wrong, anyway, you kid is the most exhausted and lazy. After all this time, you will definitely have to shamelessly refuse to go to work." Li Li saw through your eyes.

So, I'm going to work first, and then take off my official hat when I'm done? Ling Wei felt that His Majesty the Emperor was really wayward, and then I don't know how many people were thinking about it.

However, Ling Wei really didn't want to go to work on time and on time every day.

Can't sleep enough, and grow old fast.

His Majesty the Emperor had to bear the burden, as long as he promised to unload the burden.

So Ling Wei took the post and ran to the Ministry of Rites as the second in command.

If Ling Wei had become one of the chief examiners of the imperial examination and barely hooked up with the Ministry of Rites, this time he really stepped in with both feet.

When the Minister of Etiquette was about to sue the old man to return home, the rest of the Ministry of Ritual had already looked at him, to see if they could fight for the position of second-in-command. If the Emperor didn’t transfer someone else in, basically the attendant of the Etiquette would be an insider to make up for it. .

However, as expected, His Majesty arranged an airborne soldier, and the others were not much depressed, because this kind of thing was so common.

Originally, they thought it was an ex-office official who would go to Beijing to make up for this vacancy, but it turned out that Ling Wei, aside from his age, had nothing to complain about.

Well, they always complain about their age, and they don't want to vomit anymore. The ancients were able to worship at the age of nine, and Ling Wei had passed the weak crown. What happened to being a minister of courtesy? He is still the emperor who talks about reading, and the prince is Shaofu.

And when Ling Wei was in the imperial examination, he spent some time with most of them-the imperial examination was originally hosted by the Ministry of Etiquette, so they were familiar with Ling Wei and recognized Ling Wei's ability to do things.

Ling Wei's airborne landing was extremely harmonious, and there was no one who embarrassed him at all.

This makes him quite unaccustomed.

Every time he was transferred, someone would rush to him to slap him in the face. Now it is so peaceful, I am really not used to it.

Ling Wei spit on herself, is this being abused and sick?

Mr. Gu, a member of the Ministry of Rites, was very happy. He thought that Ling Wei would take over his position in the future. Only by a well-known scholar in the Ministry of Etiquette takes over the position of the Book of Etiquette can it appear the professionalism of the Ministry of Etiquette. Think about it before, all the households of the Ministry of Industry can be transferred over, and the boss of Gu is unhappy.

It's a coincidence that Xie Rong, Shangshu from the Ministry of Households, thought so too. After he had no prejudice against Ling Wei, he was very satisfied with Ling Wei's work. He believed that Ling Wei's careful plan and there are many ways to increase income and reduce expenditure, which are very suitable for the position of the household. Both of his sons are not talented, and no one in the Xie family can enter the household department. He has feelings for the household department. He can't see others messing up his hard-earned treasury. If Ling Wei can succeed him, not bad.

As a result, Ling Wei ran off to preside over the imperial examination, and then threw away all practical jobs and stayed in the house with peace of mind. He didn’t do anything except teaching.

Just like the old men in the Imperial College, Xie Rong said that he couldn't understand it very much.

Now Gu Shangshu of the Book of Rites estimates that Xie Rong's psychological journey will be followed in the future.

The position of the minister of ceremonies is given, and the position is given. After the centralization of power, the emperor's majesty is also very willful.

However, only Ling Wei made him so self-willed. No one said it was inappropriate to go to this position. He also applied for it himself when he came down from the top.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Originally, the prince’s wedding should have been established by law, and it would be better to follow the rule.

But Qi Chen was the second prince, and the first prince was the current emperor. He was not the prince when he got married, and his father was not the emperor yet, and he was fighting for the world, so Qi Chen was the first prince married to Yan Chao.

This is the first case, so it's no wonder that His Majesty the Emperor is a little bit overly anxious.

But there is no precedent in this dynasty, there are previous dynasties.

But His Majesty the Emperor was unwilling to copy the rules of the previous dynasty, and felt unlucky.

This caused some headaches for the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette.

Ling Wei sighed. The heads of this group of people are still not enough. What the Emperor meant is that they don't want to copy it, and they don't have to change it, just rub them together from the previous dynasties. Wouldn't it be good to choose the most suitable for today's reality, be lively, and not be tired to the prince's part?

After listening to Ling Wei's words, other officials of the Ministry of Rites shouted "Jintang Great Kindness". It is indeed Ling Jintang! This head is different from ours!

Ling Weilei was not light. What did he say? Doesn't it mean that the princes of the previous dynasties were married and rubbed together. How could you let the adults come out with starry eyes?

Is the world changing so fast that he can't keep up?

Fortunately, the adults were quite reserved and did not continue Lei Lingwei. Given the direction, the efficiency of this group of officials who have gnawed away the etiquette of several dynasties and generations will be faster.

They divided those who got married into several steps, and then listed the etiquette of that step in each dynasty, compared them one by one, and quarreled one by one.

After Ling Wei had an idea, he continued to drink tea in the corner.

He had long wanted to vomit. What was going on in Yan Chao's officialdom? No matter what he did, he would be blushing and even roll up his sleeves.

Even the group of gentlemen in the Ministry of Rites is like this. What about the good, modest gentlemen and weak scholars? It's all farting.

After they quarreled for two or three days, finally there were only two or three alternatives left in each step. They were also tired of quarreling, and finally remembered that one person had not participated in their arguing (arguing) round (arguing).

"Ling Master has any suggestions?" Gu Su asked.

Ling Wei said, "Master Gu can just call Xiaguan Jintang. Xiaguan didn't have any suggestions, just..."

Gu Yudao: "Jin Tang, but it's okay to say."

Ling Wei nodded: "Then it's better to be respectful if you are an official. From the following officials, these opinions are all good. There are advantages and disadvantages between them, and they are long and short. They are not easy to compare. But this is the marriage of His Royal Highness. As a father, His Majesty the Emperor should hope that he can perfect this ceremony with his own hands. His Majesty is not only the emperor, but also the father. The son is married, and the father must want to do something personally."

Gu Shu stroked his goatee and nodded: "Jintang's words are not bad. The old man was prepared to make a decision before showing it to your majesty, but your majesty may wish to personally choose it."

The rest of the people also said yes.

Their sons and daughters get married, and they certainly hope that they can decide this matter, not that everything is decided by others. Even if it is the old rule, they will consider and consider the rest of the details.

As a father, he naturally hopes to marry a daughter-in-law for his son.

They only thought of how to accomplish the tasks of His Majesty, but did not consider that His Majesty is also a father.

What, you said that when the first few princes got married, why didn't His Majesty the emperor intervene?

Can this concubine and concubine be the same? Even the prince is divided into concubines. The people of the Ministry of Rites have thoroughly studied etiquette, so they respect orthodoxy even more.

Seeing that the others had agreed to his opinion, Ling Wei continued to suggest adding a few more options and showing them to His Majesty the Emperor. They want

Let His Majesty the Emperor have a choice.

So the adults from the Ministry of Rites started to roll up their sleeves and fight again in order to discuss (arguing) (arguing) (arguing) what to add.

Ling Wei stayed aside in silence again, so as not to be caught.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The established steps were handed over to His Majesty the Emperor by Ling Wei and Gu family.

Li Li looked at the options of several candidates, and said jokingly: "This must be the idea of ​​the slick kid Jintang. I'm not sure about it, right?"

The family member Gu looked at the emperor’s obviously happy expression, and he was relieved. Ling Jintang really knows how to speculate on the holy intention: "Weichen is only in a low school, please make your decision."

"Okay, then I will help you think about it." Li Li told the subordinate Gu to retreat, and looked at Ling Wei who was about to slip away, and took the person back. "Why are you going? I told you to go. Yet?"

Ling Wei is innocent: "The minister is going to leave if there is nothing to do."

"Who said it's okay? You're slick and let me make ideas for you. Is there such a good thing? Come over and tell me what's the difference." Li Li stunned.

Ling Wei touched his head: "The talents of the ministers are sparse and shallow..."

"Ling Jintang!"

"Chen Zunzhi!" Ling Wei said solemnly.

"Puff..." Gu was almost ignorant before the imperial court, and laughed out loud, "The minister retires."

The relationship between Ling Wei and His Majesty the Emperor is really close. To say that His Majesty only gave Ling Weixu ranks and not actual positions was actually just taking care of the power of Ling's family and Ling Wei's talents. In fact, he didn't trust Ling Wei and so on.

This is also called mistrust, so what is mistrust?

From Gu's Lao Lao's eyes, he felt that the reasons that His Majesty the Emperor revealed on his face might be true.

Ling Wei was too tired and uninterested in power, so after the emergency, he resigned himself. In addition to teaching and making suggestions, he

Leave everything else alone.

His Majesty the Emperor also spoiled him so much that he would let him come in such an unreasonable mess.

If the world can't do not admire power, it will think that everyone is just like them.

Gu's family also had military members. He also heard that Ling Wei actually made a lot of contributions in the military, whether it was the battle against Burma, the battle in northern Xinjiang, and even earlier in Ganzhou, Qin and the king swept the grasslands. At the time, Ling Wei had all made suggestions, but Ling Wei didn't want to accept the reward, so he gave all the credit to him.

This sounded strange, but it came from nowhere, and there was a reason for it. This credit is not something that I dare to say, it must be a bit of a spectrum.

Gu's family is a bit regretful, her daughter is either married or still young, otherwise Ling Wei is really a wishful man.

"Tell me about you, I asked you to make an idea, but you kicked the ball back to me." Li Li casually rolled the book on the case into a volume, knocking Ling Wei's head with each of the following.

Ling Wei hugged his head and said aggrieved: "Isn't the minister thinking that your majesty will definitely want to marry the prince personally, so that he will stop all the adults to finalize the plan and let your majesty decide."

"What do you mean by marrying Qichen with your own hands? What kind of nonsense?" Li Li's face was blushing, and he knocked Ling Wei on the head twice.

"Well, the minister is too lazy. Your majesty can help the minister." Ling Wei smiled flatly.

"Huh." Li Li picked up the plan and asked carefully about the differences in each plan, earnestly and meticulously.

Ling Wei slandered. He obviously wanted to marry his son with his own hands. Your Majesty, you asked me to go to the Ministry of Rites, and I guessed that you think so. Hmph, I'm sorry to talk to the people from the Ministry of Rites, it's just a double acting with us.

Fortunately, Li Li couldn't hear Ling Wei's abdomen, otherwise he would definitely have to give him twice.

His Majesty the Emperor also has certain symptoms of difficulty in choosing. Choose to choose, and there are still two or three options left for each step. So the Emperor brought both Empress Liu and Li Ying, and called it this marriage, the elders. Should all come to advise the staff.

Li Yin looked dissatisfied. He also went to take care of the guard, and other red tape made him a headache when he heard it, let alone discuss it.

Empress Liu was in high spirits and even argued with His Majesty the emperor, but she won the battle. His Majesty the emperor hum, a good man doesn’t talk to a woman

fight.

"What does Quanfuren mean?" Empress Liu suddenly asked, "This does not appear in ancient books of the past."

"This is the custom in our place." Ling Wei glanced, and Empress Liu picked up some of the customs he proposed. "The so-called full blessing means that the four high halls are present at the top, and the children and daughters below are both complete. Brothers and sisters are friendly and harmonious. Women who also have a benevolent name are usually held by the woman’s relatives and friends. In China, when the woman gets married, the full blessing person must be asked to ask the newlyweds to be lucky in the future."

"This is a good sign." Empress Liu was very interested. Who doesn't want his daughter-in-law to be a blessing? There were many solemn rituals in the rituals of the previous dynasty, and even rituals related to the heaven and the community, but such rituals only related to the future of the young couple were rare.

After all, the identity of the prince is extraordinary.

"What does this Quanfu person need to do?" Empress Liu asked.

"On the day before the wedding, Quanfu people must go to the new house to sweep the bed and spread the tents, and read auspicious words while sweeping, in order to bring good luck to the newlyweds; before the bride covers the hijab, the Quanfu people will comb the bride’s hair. Before the bride goes on the sedan chair, Quanfu will symbolically sweep the dust from the sedan chair with a broom, then smoke the sedan chair with a handful of incense, and finally use a mirror to cover all corners of the sedan chair. Take it again."

Ling Wei thought for a while and said: "It is said that this is to drive out all the unclean things. According to folklore, there are always little ghosts who can't see other people's family harmony, and they will be attracted to the filth on the way to the wedding."

"This is quite interesting." Empress Liu nodded in satisfaction, "There can be."

Li Li was also very satisfied: "Let them come from the Ning family. Jintang, let me talk about other customs in China."

Ling Wei picked up some auspicious but not taboos and said, His Majesty the Emperor and Empress Liu picked and picked, and added some more in. When the plan was finally finalized, Li Ying had lost his eyes and didn't know how long he had been in a daze.

"That's about it." Li Li was satisfied. "What do you think of Guizhi?"

"The concubines think so too." Empress Liu was also satisfied. I thought that her son's wedding was still the same as before, and was decided by the Ministry of Rites. She still had a little regret in her heart. Unexpectedly, Queen Liu couldn't be more satisfied to complete the wedding ceremony by herself.

Look, if the Ministry of Rites came, how could it get so many auspicious steps in? How can you think of the future happiness or unhappiness of the young prince couple?

Jintang is still caring. Empress Liu didn't think that the auspicious etiquette that Ling Wei was talking about was just what she thought. He must have been searching for a long time after he knew that the prince was getting married, right?

"Since Jintang is most familiar with this etiquette, let Jintang act as the emcee." Li Li said happily.

"Chen Zun...Huh?"

"Are you not happy?!"

"The minister abides by the order." Ling Wei smiled bitterly. "It's just that the minister hasn't done this before, so I'm afraid he won't be able to do it."

"If you can't do anything, just speak auspicious words." Li Li still trusted Ling Wei's lips.

"The minister goes back and thinks about it, can you give him a few days off?"

"No vacation!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Emperor, Uncle..."

"...Just two days. Can't delay Jinque's study."

"Zhuzhi!" Ling Wei happily led Li Ying, who had already been fighting with his eyelids, and went home.

"Child Jintang." Empress Liu couldn't help but smile. "When can I be more diligent?"

"It's probably difficult." Li Li sighed, "The youngest is also getting lazier because of him. He used to take the initiative to help my brother with things. Now he doesn't even go to the military camp often."

"My uncle has been fighting for so many years, your majesty feels distressed when he looks at him? It's a pleasure to be able to stay in the capital to rest safely."

Li Li smiled and said, "Of course I am happy."

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

After the prince knew that Ling Wei was going to be the emcee, he ran to Ling Wei frequently.

"Isn't it too cumbersome?" The prince's handsome face wrinkled into buns.

"The officials didn't complain." Ling Wei also said bitterly, "Am I digging holes for myself to jump? How can I want to get so many lucky words."

The prince let out a sigh of relief: "Looking at Jintang is also embarrassed, I don't know why, I feel much better."

Ling Wei glanced at the prince, and the prince smiled and touched his nose: "Jintang, what do you do if I tremble and miss the shot when I shoot the sedan door? You know I will definitely be nervous at that time."

"It doesn't matter, I have already found a coach for you... well, that's the teacher." Ling Wei said maliciously, "With his careful guidance, you must be able to shoot even if your hand shakes."

The prince followed Ling Wei's eyes. Li Ying hugged his arms and nodded to the prince expressionlessly: "I will train you well and will not let you marry a wife and lose Li's face."

The prince shook. At this time, he remembered the fear of being trained by the devil by Li Yin when he was a child.

"Jintang save me!" The prince rushed in tears.

"His Royal Highness, this is for your good." Ling Wei looked at the prince who was being carried away by Li Ying like a poor chicken, took out a handkerchief and waved, and wiped away the tears of sympathy that did not exist in the corner of his eyes. , "Is it so easy to marry a wife? Show your perseverance!"

Who made you neglect to practice martial arts recently? His Majesty the Emperor is preparing to take this opportunity to train you well.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The person designated as the crown prince is Ning Shuyu, Ning Xian's only prostitute.

Ning Shuyu is also the only girl in the Ning family's generation, and even the only girl in his mother's Madam Wu family's generation.

Although patriarchal in ancient times is patriarchal, but with the only two words, it is much more precious.

At home, Ning Shuyu is unanimously loved by her grandparents, grandparents, and nephews who are a few years old. Several elder brothers, cousins ​​and cousins ​​take great care of her.

Under such circumstances, Ning Shuyu can grow into a good girl who is generous and dignified and heroic, rather than a spiteful and willful eldest lady, which can be described as a good tutor.

It should be said that because there are no girls in the Ning and Wu generations, all the female elders of the two families have no one to teach the experience of being a housekeeper. When he grows up, he has the same virtue with his father, and women are very lonely.

Finally, the little girl Ning Shuyu was born. The women of the Ning family and Wu family's eyes were bright, not only their eyes brightened, but also the whole world.

It seems to be lit.

This is like a craftsman who has spent his entire life finally becoming a master, only to find that no one has let him pass on his skills. Now that there is finally someone who can pass on, the women are very happy.

Then Ning Shuyu was educated and raised by all the women in this family.

For such a girl, the means of being a queen is enough.

But her family hadn't planned to let her into the palace.

Families that pet their daughters are unwilling to let their daughter enter the palace. After all, the daughter is going to marry. If she marries another family, even the prince and prince, the Ning family and the Wu family have the confidence to call the door to ask for justice.

But after marrying the prince and becoming a queen, they can only watch their daughter struggle by herself.
