Chapter 348 Wedding
Prince Li quickly responded, "Your Majesty, the princess also cares about the people and wants to seek welfare for the people. Her sincere heart is evident to all."
"The princess has worked tirelessly and traveled everywhere just to improve the lives of the people. This sincerity is truly admirable."
"However, Your Majesty is responsible for the Great Zhou Dynasty. Your safety is of vital importance. It concerns the rise and fall of the entire dynasty. Naturally, there can be no room for error."
After saying that, he did not forget to attract an ally, "Master Feng, what do you think?"
Feng Yan knew that Chu Ci would find him sooner or later if he did this, so he said calmly: "Even if the ancestor of the Feng family were alive, he couldn't calculate everything."
"After all, things in the world are unpredictable and unpredictable. The future is full of variables, and no one can fully control it."
"However, there is one thing I can be sure of."
"Princess Yixin has a noble character and a kind heart. She is very helpful to our Great Zhou. Not only me, but other adults must have seen this as well."
At this point, Feng Yan paused deliberately and said, "Mr. Fan's suggestion just now to get married is also a good choice."
Hearing this, the emperor's expression gradually eased. "In that case, let's do as Mr. Fan said, and the crown prince and Feng Yan will assist."
When the emperor said this, Prince Li was delighted, knowing that his persuasion had worked.
But the look in his eyes when he looked at Chu Ci was filled with deep worry. He thought to himself: Being praised so highly, I don't know if this will be a blessing or a curse in the long run!
However, no one knew Prince Li's worries.
It was because the emperor once again dropped a piece of bombshell news that shocked everyone. "I hereby promise that Princess Yixin will have full authority to supervise the popularization of grain varieties. If any official dares to do evil or abuse his power in this matter, Princess Yixin will execute him first and report to me later!"
As soon as the emperor issued this order, several court officials immediately stood up with panic-stricken looks on their faces, ready to persuade him.
However, the emperor pressed down with his big hand, and said with a dignified look: "I give the princess the power of life and death to ensure that this matter goes smoothly, so that the people can benefit as soon as possible, the grain varieties can be promoted smoothly, and our Great Zhou's granaries will be abundant and the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe! I have made up my mind, and you don't need to say more!"
"Everyone, do you understand my painstaking efforts?"
Now that the emperor has said this, what else can the ministers do?
Everyone could only kneel down in fear and trepidation and shout, "Your Majesty is wise."
Chu Ci achieved her goal, so she naturally didn't mind saying a few good words to the emperor. She bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty is wise and decisive. Such a decision will surely benefit the people of Da Zhou and make our dynasty prosperous."
However, the emperor didn't care at this time. He waved his hand and said loudly: "I am tired, uncle and everyone else please leave!"
Those who can be invited into the palace at this critical moment are all old hands who have been working in officialdom for many years.
They naturally knew what to do at this moment, so they all shouted: "The ministers are leaving!"
---------------------------------------------------------Dividing line-------------------------------------------------------
Seven days later, on the sixth day of September, Feng Yan specially selected an auspicious day for Chu Ci.
At daybreak, Chu Ci's mother-in-law, several aunts and a group of maids knocked on her door.
"Aci, wake up quickly. Today is your big day. Don't sleep in and miss the auspicious time." The mother-in-law's voice was full of joy and eagerness.
Several aunts also echoed: "Yes, Ah Ci, we have to get up and get ready."
Chu Ci, who was in the room, heard the noise and stood up resignedly.
But as soon as he lifted the quilt, he shivered in fear.
Coincidentally, at this moment, the mother-in-law and three aunts walked into the house, chatting and laughing. Seeing Chu Ci's appearance, they subconsciously said, "This winter may be colder than previous years..."
He realized that he was wrong when he was halfway through his words, and immediately changed his words: "Fortunately, today is your big day, which can add some joy and warmth to this cold winter."
"Ah Ci, you see, although it's cold in winter, our house is full of excitement and joy because of your wedding, which will definitely drive away the cold." The mother-in-law looked concerned and ordered the maid to bring clothes over, "Be quick, don't let the bride get cold."
Chu Ci was fully awake by this time and no longer acted pretentiously.
She quickly stood up and put on her clothes neatly. Then, she sat quietly in front of the dressing table and let the maids fiddle with her clothes.
On the contrary, Chu Ci's mother-in-law was busy all the time, and she said, "Be careful and dress up the princess beautifully. This is a big happy event for our family, and we must not be negligent in the slightest."
As she spoke, the mother-in-law personally stepped forward to check the jewelry and clothes prepared by the maids, "This pearl flower is not delicate enough, change it to the pair of jadeite ones. And that shawl, adjust it again, there can't be a single wrinkle."
……
In this way, amidst everyone's busyness, Chu Ci's makeup gradually took shape.
Chu Ci looked at himself in the mirror. His face was as beautiful as a flower, his skin was whiter than snow, his eyebrows were as black as distant ink, and his lips were like cherries.
However, there was a barely perceptible hint of confusion in his eyes.
She sighed quietly in her heart: "She really has to stay in this world for the rest of her life! But what will the future be like?"
At this moment, the knocks on the door sounded again, "bang, bang, bang," with a gentle rhythm, as if afraid of disturbing the tranquility of the house.
Even such a slight sound brought Chu Ci out of her thoughts. She slowly turned her gaze to the door and looked at the people who came in with some curiosity. It turned out to be this body's biological mother Li Yanran and sister-in-law Zhang Ying.
The two stood outside the door timidly, their expressions somewhat cautious, their voices soft and inquiring: "Can we come in?"
Originally, they thought that Fan Jingrui brought their family back to the capital from Yazhou, which meant that Chu Ci had forgiven them.
I had planned to use the wedding as an opportunity to repair my relationship with Chu Ci.
Unexpectedly, the people were picked up, but they could only be spectators.
In the midst of the lively wedding preparations, they seemed to be isolated, unable to get involved or have a say.
This made the Chu family feel as if their hearts were immersed in ice water. The flame of hope that had just been ignited was instantly extinguished, and their hearts full of joy turned into loss and helplessness.
They are unwilling to give in!
So Li Yanran chose to come here at this time on purpose. She thought to herself that she must fight for a chance for her family no matter what, even if the hope was slim.
But when the time came, Li Yanran looked at Chu Ci's eyes which were devoid of any emotion, and the courage she had just mustered up instantly disappeared, and she became cowardly again.
She moved her lips, wanting to say something, but no word came out.
Zhang Ying was furious when she saw this, and secretly sighed that her mother-in-law failed to deliver at the critical moment.
He simply stepped forward, took out a not-so-delicate box from his bosom, and opened it. He took a deep breath and said, "Although this golden hairpin is not priceless, it is also carefully prepared by us. I hope the princess will not despise it."
