After congratulating Ning Chen a few more words, he brought his eldest son into the Duke's mansion.
And Ning Chen stood outside the mansion with a smile on his face.
Waiting for Changsun Wuji, Yuchi Jingde and others...!
After a moment.
Not far away, there was a clanging sound of horseshoes hitting the ground!
Subsequently.
I saw Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Zhijie, and even Zhang Gongjin and Qin Shubao.
They all came together to congratulate him on the great joy of Duke Ning!
Ning Chen returned the salutes one by one, with a gentle smile on his face.
It is completely different from the usual appearance!
Next.
Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Hou Junji, Li Jing and others.
They all come in turn!
All the imperial court chief ministers.
Including Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda, the former court ministers, all came to Ningguo Mansion to congratulate Ning Chen on his great joy!
even.
Ning Chen has always been cheated terribly!
Moreover, Gao Shilian, Mr. Gao, who was very upset with Ning Chen.
It was beyond Ning Chen's expectations to come to the Duke's Mansion to congratulate him!
When the Duke saw the slightest smile on Mrs. Gao's face.
The whole person instantly fell into endless "ashamedness"!
I feel that I am really sorry for Mr. Gao!
And Gao Shilian.
After seeing the guilt on Ning Chen's face, he nodded and smiled in satisfaction!
He patted Ning Chen's shoulder approvingly, smiling...
Except for the important officials of the whole court who came to congratulate.
All the civil and military officials in the court hall of the entire capital.
Most of them also sent congratulatory gifts or came to congratulate the Duke in person!
And those who neither came in person nor sent congratulatory gifts...
"My country is a kind person, why would I care about you...?!"
Ning Chen chuckled.
Then he turned his head slightly and winked at the people in Tianji Pavilion who were hiding in the dark!
The meaning contained in those eyes is clearly visible!
"Check it out for the master of the pavilion and see who it is, dare you not give me Ning Chen face!"
It seems that some officials in Chang'an City are going to be in bad luck...
-
In the government office.
Fortunately, when the Duke's Mansion was built, Emperor Li's second-hand pen was huge!
Not only unimaginable pavilions and pavilions were built, but also several huge palaces were built!
if not.
With so many hundreds of officials here today, I am afraid they will have to drink the northwest wind in the open air to participate in the feast...!
The officials present did not take their seats immediately.
Instead, they stood together in groups of threes and twos according to their acquaintance, and stood quietly in the hall!
A figure dressed in red and holding a fan.
Walk slowly from the other side of the hall!
It was Princess Chao Yunkang, the future princess and wife of the state...!
And Ning Chen.
He also walked into the hall from the other side, with a joyful smile on his face!
An eunuch who came from the palace held up the imperial decree, unfolded it, and read aloud:
"Edict of the Son of Heaven!"
"Duke Ning Chen has made outstanding contributions, and Princess Yunkang is gentle and virtuous!"
"The two hit it off, it's a perfect match!"
"Emperor Princess Yunkang is granted the title of Mrs. Ningguo!"
"Emperor Ning Chen, the Duke of Ning, is made Princess Yunkang's son-in-law!"
The moment the imperial decree was read.
The entire hall immediately fell into deathly silence!
Then in the eyes of many officials.
I saw Ning Chen and the princess looking at each other and bowing down!
Pingli...!
According to etiquette.
The princess is the king, and the son-in-law is the minister!
The princess should be worshiped twice by the son-in-law first, and then they can worship the heaven and the earth together!
And now.
These two people actually directly worshiped the heaven and the earth and bowed to each other...? !
at this moment.
Even Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others were completely dumbfounded!
All the officials in the hall were dumbfounded for a long time before they suddenly realized.
Why in the imperial decree just now, the princess was first granted the title of Mrs. Guogong.
Ning Chen was conferred the title of consort of the princess!
Because this damn is not choosing a son-in-law at all...!
But...
But to marry a princess!
Just when all the officials were stunned.
Her Royal Highness has already been sent into the palace!
But Ning Chen turned around, held up a glass of aged wine, and drank it with a smile on his head!
Then he laughed, clasped his fists in both hands, and saluted all the officials present:
"Today I, Ning Chen, are getting married!"
"Thank you, my lords, for coming to the humble house to congratulate me!"
Many officials: "..."
Thanks?
How dare we! ! !
You naughty Ning Chen pretends to be a son-in-law every day, and you probably want to dig a hole for others to hurt others...!
Chapter 151 The Ritual of the Duke of Zhou......
at dusk.
The sun has gradually sunk under the western mountain.
Only a faint layer of fiery red halo remained, the last ray of light that was still released between the heaven and the earth.
In Ning Guogong's mansion.
The Duke looked at the account book in front of him with a wide smile.
The smile on his face is so sincere that nothing can be added...!
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
"I didn't expect it!"
"One of these officials is richer than the other!"
An official who came to attend his grand wedding in Ningguo Gongye today.
At least there are more than 400 people!
All of them are officials from the capital of the Tang Dynasty, so they are naturally generous!
Except for various antique calligraphy and paintings, as well as agate and pearls.
Merely gold and silver.
It is enough to support the huge Tianji Pavilion and run for more than half a year...!
Although the past six months doesn't sound like much.
But in fact, the sphere of influence of Tianji Pavilion at this time has reached a terrifying level!
Light is the killer among the hidden guards.
There are already nearly a hundred people...!
At the beginning, Prince Yin Li Jiancheng struggled for so many years, but in the end he just raised hundreds of assassins!
It is conceivable how much the Heavenly Secret Pavilion will cost to operate...
"Not bad……!"
"My lord is in a really good mood today!"
Ning Chen chuckled.
Then he waved his hand and said to the cronies of the Duke's mansion beside him:
"Go to the treasury to spend some money and distribute it to the people in the duke's mansion!"
"Just say..."
"Let's just say this is a reward from Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
The confidant was instantly overjoyed.
After a quick promise, he retired and left!
And the moment after he left, people from Tianji Pavilion appeared in the Nuan Pavilion very rarely!
"Send people from Yege to check with the master of this pavilion!"
"I, Ning Chen, got married, and after accepting the invitation, someone dared to refuse!"
"Not even a congratulatory gift...!"
Ning Chen looked gloomy and sneered.
The Duke naturally knows that he has offended many people in the court!
