at this time.
The sound of bells and drums resounded again in the Imperial City Forbidden City!
All the court ministers came out of the warm cabinet and were arranged in order according to their official rank.
Then, stepping on the stone steps one after another, they walked towards the majestic hall above!
"today!"
"It's the ninth year of Wude, the last court meeting!"
"The end of the year is approaching, and there are many state affairs. Dear friends, you have worked hard...!"
The emperor Li Erduan sat on the dragon chair.
Smiling and nodding to all civil and military officials.
And after hearing the words of the emperor.
All the courtiers looked at a certain duke in unison...!
Hard? !
He, Lord Ning, didn't work hard at all!
Just yesterday, I was visiting Chang'an City, the capital, with Her Royal Highness the Princess!
Ning Chen: "..."
It's just a kind of official man, although he is upset.
But no one dared to deliberately find Ning Chen unhappy at this time!
Even the Yushitai spokesperson who has always been rumored and bitten at random.
They all kept silent, as if they were dumb...
Li Er coughed on the high platform.
It can be regarded as helping my brother-in-law to ease the embarrassment a little.
After coughing lightly, he said to the courtiers of Tang Dynasty again:
"I, I hope that in the coming year, I can continue to work together with all my lovers!"
"For the well-being of the people of Tang Dynasty!"
"For my country of the Tang Dynasty, protect the future!"
Li Er waved his hand.
Turning her head slightly, she looked at Ning Chen with a smile in her eyes!
"I was ordered to have a yamen before!"
"Choose a good day and auspicious time for Princess Yunkang's marriage!"
"I don't know about you, but the regulations have been set...!"
His Majesty's voice just fell.
Immediately, officials walked out of the train, stood on the main hall, and bowed their hands respectfully!
"Report to Your Majesty!"
"The ministers have drawn up the regulations!"
"The first year of Zhenguan, the sixth day of March, is an auspicious day for marrying His Royal Highness the Princess!"
All the courtiers nodded silently when they heard this.
Regarding this auspicious day to marry the princess, the courtiers have no extra opinions!
Just His Majesty the Emperor above.
But he frowned slightly, and there was obviously some displeasure on his face!
"The sixth day of March?!"
"I have already issued an imperial decree for marriage!"
"How can we wait until two months later?!"
Li Er snorted coldly.
Then he stood up from the dragon chair, put his hands behind his back, and walked to the edge of the high platform.
Staring at the courtiers below with piercing eyes!
"Send my will!"
"Choose the sixth day of the first month as an auspicious time!"
"Marry Princess Yunkang of the Tang Dynasty, and marry Duke Ning Chen...!"
The sixth day of January!
All the civil and military officials in the Tai Chi Hall were in an uproar in an instant!
Compared with the regulations drawn up by Yousi Yamen, this is a full two months ahead of schedule!
And Ning Chen was also shocked.
He raised his head and looked at the emperor Li Er in shock, feeling a little grateful for his brother-in-law in his heart!
In the first month of the first year of Zhenguan.
His Majesty the Emperor is going to marry his most beloved imperial sister to Ning Chen!
This can simply be called the mighty grace of the emperor...!
Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, no one has ever been able to get such a long favor!
"Everything about the big wedding must be done according to the royal etiquette!"
"There is a yamen, there must be no slack and fooling around!"
"otherwise!"
"All will be dealt with as a crime of disrespect...!"
Li Er was really upset in his heart.
My favorite sister is about to get married, and some of you dare not to take this matter to heart on purpose!
If it weren't for the approach of the end of the year.
His Majesty the Emperor didn't mind at all, so he pulled the bastards involved out of the Meridian Gate and beat them up!
And Ning Chen didn't mind either.
Tell the people in the Tianji Pavilion to investigate the dirty things they did...!
Soon after.
Lord Ning Guo didn't even take the carriage.
He stepped directly on a war horse, carrying the regulations re-enacted by Yousi Yamen.
Riding the horse and raising the whip, he ran towards the Duke's mansion...!
The marriage of a princess is a major event for the court!
The etiquette rules in the middle are simply complicated to the point of cumbersome!
Na Cai, ask the name, Najib, Na Zheng, ask for a date, welcome...!
in every process.
There is a lot of preparation required, as well as extremely tedious etiquette!
Originally, if the wedding date had really been set in March.
Ning Chen will have enough time to prepare...!
But now!
"Fuck...!"
"Ten days left before the wedding with the princess!"
"I don't know anything, I haven't prepared anything...!"
Ning Chen galloped along the wide streets of Chang'an City.
I just feel dizzy and my brain is about to explode!
After a moment.
Ning Chen rode his war horse and galloped to the gate of his Duke's mansion!
Before the horse came to a complete stop, Ning Chen jumped off the horse and rushed towards his Duke's mansion!
"Come on!"
"Call all the guards of the Duke's mansion, all go to the Duke of the country, and prepare everything for the big wedding!"
Ning Chen waved his hand.
Facing a close friend of the Duke's Mansion next to him, he continued:
"The imperial court has a ceremonial official who is in charge of etiquette and rules behind!"
"You take the people from the Duke's Mansion to prepare for the Duke with all your strength!"
"The money in the treasury can be spent at will!"
"If it's not done well, my country's father will definitely throw you all to Liangzhou to guard the border!"
Chapter 139 The Duke's Mansion does its best to buy everything needed for the big wedding! …
Chang'an City, inside the Duke's Mansion.
With his hands behind his back, Ning Chen paced back and forth in front of the princess.
The brows were tightly frowned, as if there was a big worry!
Li Mingxue felt a headache from being swayed by Ning Chen.
He sighed, and said in a helpless tone:
"Ning Chen!"
"What are you worrying about?!"
"Speak out, let this princess solve your worries!"
Ning Chen was taken aback when he heard this, and spread his hands out, then pointed at Her Highness Princess and said weakly:
"What I'm worried about is about you...!"
"Three books and six rituals, the rules of the royal family are extremely complicated!"
"And I haven't made any preparations yet, I guess I'm going to be hacked to death by your brother..."
Li Mingxue: "..."
Only then did Li Mingxue suddenly realize why Ning Chen was bothered!
Li Mingxue is the current Royal Highness Princess Yunkang!
But the real royal nobles!
So every procedure of the three books and six rituals.
As well as the royal family's system of etiquette for weddings and funerals, it is absolutely impossible to omit it!
And it made Ning Chen even more headache.
It was the wedding date of himself and the princess, and there were only ten days left!
within these ten days.
He, Ning Chen, has to complete the six rituals of Na Cai, Asking Names, Na Ji, Na Zheng, Request Date, and Personal Greeting!
And the corresponding letters of appointment, letter of ceremony, and letter of welcome...!
