An impossible marriage, after analysis by Li Longji, Li Heng and his son, things actually took a surprising direction.

Wan Chun stood quietly under the corridor outside the palace for a long time. She was wearing a fur cloak and facing outside the palace, silently watching the white snow falling. The white snow reflected her profile, perfect and peerless, like a wife waiting for her husband to return.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the elderly Gao Lishi walked out of the palace. Looking at the silent figure, Gao Lishi couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Things in the world are changing, and everything has changed after returning to Chang'an. The once gentle young man has become a powerful tycoon, the once supreme imperial power has become the prey of others, and the once carefree princess has become...

A resentful girl hurt by love.

Gao Lishi felt sad. Thinking about his age of about seventy, he suddenly felt discouraged.

After serving the Supreme Emperor for a hundred years, it may be time to consider returning home.

"Your Highness the Princess, the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty have decided to select a day to hand over the Princess to Prince Gu. The Supreme Emperor said that according to the wishes of Her Highness the Princess, she will be the concubine of Prince Gu. Prince Gu had great achievements in suppressing rebellions in the Tang Dynasty, and also

He is a crown prince, and his status is not bad. His Highness is the concubine of Prince Gu, which barely means that he has lost the imperial power of the Tian family."

Gao Lishi smiled at her and said, "Congratulations to your highness, Princess, for your long-cherished wish coming true."

Upon hearing the news, Wan Chun's expression showed no surprise. The result of the discussion between Li Longji and Li Heng was within her expectation.

Sure enough, as the aunt said, they will definitely agree.

Not for her own good as a princess, but to be a suitable chess piece.

Wan Chun knows better than anyone else that she is a chess piece, a chess piece that delays the conflict between the two sides. She also knows that her role as a chess piece is very limited, and that the two sides will eventually conflict, which is unavoidable.

are you happy?

Maybe you should be happy. You finally got to marry your sweetheart as you wished, and you don't have to care about the eyes of the world. So what if the princess is your concubine? You can spend this life with him, and all the ridicule and contempt can't compare to his gentle treatment.

The only thing she regrets is that she will marry him in such a way in this life.

It was not a mutual love, not a natural outcome, but a despicable conspiracy. She married him as she wished, in a way that was calculated as a weapon against him.

This regret will be difficult to recover from in my lifetime.

"Thank you, General Gao." Wan Chun saluted Gao Lishi quietly.

Gao Lishi hurriedly avoided it and said with a smile: "The Supreme Emperor also said that after Prince Gu's wedding, he will choose an auspicious day to marry His Highness. Even if he is a concubine, he must not lose the imperial power of the Tian family. You and Prince Gu

The king's marriage will definitely be a grand affair, surpassing Gu Qing's marriage to the royal concubine."

Wan Chun smiled bitterly and said: "General Gao, please reply to my father and forgive me. The entry into the concubine's room and the grandeur are actually embarrassing me."

Seeing her sad and resentful look, Gao Lishi sighed and said: "Your Highness, I have watched your Highness grow up. No matter how turbulent the court situation is, you are just a woman and should not have to bear this.

After marrying Prince Gu, you will live a good life with him and never mention the changes outside the house."

Wan Chun said calmly: "General Gao, is it right or wrong for me to marry Gu Qing?"

Gao Lishi lowered his head and was speechless.

Wan Chun smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Maybe everyone in the world will think I'm crazy, but I know what I'm doing, whether it's calamity or fate, I'm willing to give it a try."

"Old slave... I only wish that the princess can live happily as before. Even if I stand in front of His Highness now, I still miss the carefree little princess who pulled my sleeves and forced me to play with you..."

Gao Lishi's eyes turned red.

Wan Chun looked at the falling white snow outside the palace, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and said: "I will be happy, he is my long-cherished wish."

…………

In the second year of Zhide, on the fifth day of the first lunar month, it was the day of Gu Qing's wedding.

Before dawn, Gu Qing was forcibly restarted by Huangfu Sisi. Gu Qing drooped his sleepy eyes and allowed Huangfu Sisi and the maids to dress him in auspicious clothes.

Huangfu Sisi kept chattering while dressing up Gu Qing neatly.

"I heard that the prince is getting married. Many soldiers from the Anxi Army helped to catch geese alive for the prince. In the cold weather, the wild geese have all flown south. It is not easy to find a pair of live geese in Guanzhong. The soldiers are willing to fight for the prince. I don't know.

Where did the live geese come from? In the end, Duan Wuji counted them and found that he actually hunted more than ten live geese..."

"The geese picked out a pair of the most handsome ones and sent them to Zhang's house five days ago. I will send a pair as a gift today. My lord, please wake up and be energetic. The Minister of Rites is waiting outside. You look like you can't wake up."

When the minister saw the appearance, he didn’t know how many times he would have to repeat it..."

Hearing the words "Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites", Gu Qing woke up immediately and sighed.

The name of the Minister of Rites was Fang Guan, who was temporarily appointed by Li Heng after he ascended the throne in Lingzhou. He was the son of Fang Rong, the prime minister of the Wu Zhou Dynasty. He was born in the Fang family of Qinghe and came from a famous family.

He entered the Hongwen Hall when he was young, and later worked as a school secretary, county lieutenant, and county magistrate, until he was a censor, a doctor, a concubine of the left, and a minister of the Ministry of Punishment...

Fang Guan's resume can be said to be from low to high. He has held various official positions in the Tang Dynasty. In terms of political experience, he can be regarded as a veteran in officialdom.

But this old youtiao has a long-winded mouth. From the sages' scriptures to Zhou and Han rites, he can't stop talking.

These days, Fang Guan visits every day to practice the wedding process with Gu Qing. Whenever Gu Qing slacks on the etiquette, Fang Guan will talk endlessly with the words of a saint. However, Gu Qing cannot refute because he does not understand Zhou etiquette and Han etiquette at all.

, even if I want to talk back, I will sadly realize that I am uneducated.

Every time he wanted to argue, Fang Guan would take out various etiquette books, point to the pages and tell him word for word, you are wrong. If His Highness is not busy, it is best to apologize to the sage's tablet.

Gu Qing finally understood why Wukong and the Bull Demon King planned to eat Tang Monk's meat together. Really, he didn't blame him at all.

Gu Qing also wanted to eat meat. It didn't matter whether he would live forever or not. The main reason was that he wanted to taste the taste of the Minister of Rites.

"Fang Shangshu didn't sleep all night. He started preparing for the wedding ceremony in the front yard at midnight and waited for you all night." Huangfu Sisi continued without fear of trouble.

Gu Qing sighed and said: "I will send an order to Han Jie to beat this minister to death with a stick. I will report to the emperor and replace him with a taciturn minister of the Ministry of Rites..."

Huangfu Sisi chuckled, pushed him, and said: "It's an auspicious day for a wedding. Don't say anything about life or death. It's unlucky."

After putting it on, Gu Qing was dressed in a red robe, with a palace flower in his hat and a jade belt around his waist. His naturally unhappy face looked somewhat festive when paired with the auspicious clothes.

Fang Guan was pacing back and forth outside the archway of the backyard, urging the maids to enter the backyard many times, until Gu Qing, who was dressed in auspicious clothes and surrounded by his servants, came out. Fang Guan stamped his feet and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, if you don't hurry up,

The auspicious time will be missed! Don't delay your wedding day, or you will be laughed at by both the government and the public."

Fang Shangshu, who was in his fifties, looked more impatient than the young man. He grabbed Gu Qing's sleeve and ran towards the door.

Gu Qing was dragged by him and ran forward involuntarily, and his expression suddenly changed: "Fang Shangshu, don't be in a hurry, etiquette, pay attention to etiquette!"

Fang Guan seemed not to hear it and moved faster and faster.

The two of them blew through the front yard like a gust of wind. A group of servants had already lined up in the front yard. When they saw Gu Qing coming out, the servants just bowed and saluted, congratulating His Highness the Duke on their wedding. Unexpectedly, as soon as they bent down, they felt a burst of sound in their ears.

A strong wind blew by, and the two of them whizzed past Juechen without stopping. The servants looked at each other and bowed in silence.

The two of them rushed to the door. Fang Guan slammed on the brakes. Gu Qing was caught off guard and bumped into him hard. The two of them stumbled, but Fang Guan's expression remained unchanged. He suddenly regained his composure and calmness, slowly and leisurely.

He strode towards the chariot with four horses and shafts outside the door.

Gu Qing couldn't help but be stunned. Such face-changing skills and exquisite acting skills were comparable to the green tea bitch in his previous life...

"The auspicious time has come to welcome the bride -" Fang Guan shouted.

Outside the gate, Han Jie and all the guards were dressed up. Today, Han Jie and the guards still wear armor, but the chest of the armor is covered with red silk, and the saber on the waist is also tied with a red ribbon, which means today.

Good luck, no weapons to be seen.

Han Jie and the guards happily saluted Gu Qing and congratulated His Royal Highness on the wedding. Then the guards gathered Gu Qing into the chariot. Under Fang Guan's urging, the chariot launched the king's honor guard and struck the gong in front.

The team set off leisurely towards Zhang's house.

In the carriage, Gu Qing suddenly poked his head out of the window and said dissatisfiedly: "Fang Shangshu, who decided the auspicious time? It's not even bright yet, how did you know that it was an auspicious time? Why don't we go back and take a nap first...

…”

Before he finished speaking, Fang Guan was furious. Due to Gu Qing's status, he held back his anger and said: "Your Highness, when is the auspicious time? The Zhou Rites have been prepared. Your Highness, don't mess around. We are getting married today. Any mistakes will be made."

You can't commit it, otherwise the lower official will have no choice but to die to thank the world."

Gu Qing blurted out loudly: "Han Jie, take a note. On the day of Prince Gu's wedding, the Minister of Etiquette, Guan Guan, threatened to kill him. Prince Gu decided to give him face and not to mess around today."

Fang Guan: “…………”

I'm so tired, I really want to flip the table at the wedding banquet...

How difficult the errand assigned to him by the emperor was!

The team welcoming the bride was not only Han Jie and his guards, but also Li Siye and Mo Daoying who were staying in Chang'an City also came to join in the fun.

The Modao camp was all made up of burly men. The tall and strong soldiers wore armor and wore red scarves, which made them look even more powerful. They were at the front of the team, clearing the way for Gu Qing.

Li Siye had a bit of a crazy personality. He seemed to have secretly rehearsed for Gu Qing's wedding in private. Every time the soldiers of Mo Daoying took a few steps, they suddenly stopped, then stamped their feet together and let out an earth-shattering roar.

After knocking, the soldiers continued to move forward. After a few steps, they stopped and stamped their feet, shouting.

Gu Qing was sitting in the carriage with a complicated expression.

Li Siye, a bastard, is really looking for trouble. After a nice wedding ceremony, he has a murderous aura. It seems that this team is not going to welcome the bride, but to exterminate the family...

On the big day, if you don't get angry, I'll chop him up tomorrow.

Fang Guan also didn't expect that the general of the Anxi Army would make such a fuss at the prince's wedding, so he rolled his eyes and almost fainted. Poor old man in his fifties, who had been busy with everything for more than a month.

, but as soon as he walked out of the gate, he was made trouble by the Anxi Army.

The procession of welcoming the bride moved forward and passed through Zhuque Street. At some point, there were many people on the street. The people stood on both sides of the avenue, curiously and enviously watching Gu Qing's procession heading towards Zhangjiaxing. For a moment, there was a crowd of people.

There was a lot of discussion.

"This is how a man is born..." Someone in the crowd sighed in envy.
