Chapter 133 - Marriage

May 20 had finally arrived!

It had originally been sunny for several days, but by this morning, it had actually become overcast!

It was a lively scene in the Residence of Zhuo. Today, countless servants and maids were dressed in red formal attire to celebrate the departure of the young miss from the pavilion!

Zheyue Ru was wearing a phoenix coronet and ceremonial robes, and today was especially beautiful!

She hid in her room with a bashful expression on her face!

Her personal maid was by her side! In a while, her maidservants would enter the palace with her!

"Miss, the weather isn't good today!" The maidservant said.

"Yeah, the weather is really bad!" Zheyue Ru nodded slightly.

Just as she finished speaking, there was a sudden clap of thunder in the sky!

Thunder rumbled into the room!

Seeing the thunder and hearing the thunder, Zheyue Ru's face changed!

"Didn't the imperial overseer say that today was a auspicious day? Why are there thunderbolts? " The servant girl said dejectedly.

"The Venerate Heavens Sect has also miscalculated!" Zheyue Ru said.

"Miss, do you think there will be any unforeseen events today?" The maidservant said.

"What change?" Zheyue Ru said.

"I can't say! It's just that I don't feel good about this thunder and lightning strike! " The maidservant said.

Just as she finished speaking, an even louder clap of thunder resounded in the room! The room seemed to be shaking, Zheyue Ru felt that her ears were buzzing and she couldn't hear anything!

"Bodhisattva bless the peace and safety of all!" Zheyue Ru panicked a little. She knelt on the bed and secretly prayed!

Soon, heavy rain fell from the sky!

There were countless red flowers and decorations for the wedding! However, in the face of such torrential rain, all the red flowers and decorations were washed away by the torrential rain!

"What bad luck!" Zhe Keqiu said somewhat angrily.

It was at that moment that the sound of drumming came from outside!

"Daddy, the welcoming party is here!" Zhe Yanwen suddenly stood up and said.

"I know! Let's go and see them! " Zhe Keqiu stood up quickly and said.

The so-called "welcome" was the "welcome" of the people! The people were getting married. The groom had to go to the woman's house to greet the bride, so it was called welcoming! As for the emperor's grand wedding, the emperor had the highest position and status. Naturally, the emperor could not condescend to come to the woman's house to welcome the bride. The emperor had only sent ministers to greet the bride, so it was called welcoming!

Han Ping, Wei Ming, and Xue Rui brought countless guards and servants to the Zhuang Residence!

The three of them were also wearing red clothes today, so naturally, they had come to celebrate on behalf of the Emperor!

It was just that the rain was too heavy and the three of them were already drenched!

"Master Fold, congratulations! Hurry and ask the empress to come out, we want to bring the empress into the palace! " Han Ping laughed.

"There's no rush, no rush. The three of you have come to my house. I would like to entertain you before I send you to the palace." Zhe Keqiu laughed.

When the man came to the woman's house, she naturally received him. This was just a normal formality! Han Ping and the other two naturally did not decline!

They changed into a set of clean clothes within the Residence of Zhexiu. After two hours, the rain had started to lessen and the sounds of drumbeats could be heard once again from within the mansion. Zheyue Ru, accompanied by a group of maids, climbed onto the palanquin.

Because it was the emperor's wedding, even though it was raining, there were still countless people watching on the streets!

In front was the sound of firecrackers, and behind it was the long procession to escort the bride!

There was a long bridal procession at the back of the bridal escort team!

"The Master Fold has overflowing authority. When Miss Zhuang Mansion came out of the pavilion, how many gifts are there?" A fifty year old Middle Han Area citizen looked at the betrothal gift procession and spoke out.

"I heard that in order to arrange these betrothal gifts, Master Fold had spent a total of one million silver taels!" Another person beside him said.

"Rumor has it that it's not just one million gold!" Amongst the dowry the Master Fold gave Miss Zhuang, many of them were priceless treasures! For example, Wu Daozi's Heavenly King's gift map, Yan Liben's chariot map, and so on, even if it's a million silver taels, it's still not enough to buy it! " The person beside him said.

"In this world, only the Master Fold can enjoy such glory when they marry!" Another person said.

"Unfortunately, I am not the emperor. If I were the emperor, I would be able to marry the daughter of the Master Fold. Then, I wouldn't have to worry about food and drinks for the rest of my life!" The commoners around them were all discussing amongst themselves.

"You still want to be the Emperor? In your dreams?" The people beside him burst out into laughter!

Amidst the laughter and chatter of the commoners, the wedding procession gradually arrived at the entrance of the palace!

Today, the doors of the imperial palace were wide open. Countless guards were waiting there! When the wedding procession arrived, another earth-shattering firecracker sounded!

The wedding procession passed through the palace gates and entered the depths of the palace!

The palace was also filled with red flowers and red lights. It was a festive atmosphere!

Zheyue Ru was sent into the Dry Clear Palace, followed by a series of complex etiquette!

Without a doubt, the most important thing was to bow to the heavens and earth!

Zheyue Ru stood at the west side and Zhao Chen stood at the east side. When the drums sounded, the two of them bowed together! There were a total of nine times.

After bowing to the heavens and earth, Zhao Chen and Zheyue Ru were sent to the Kunning Palace's Warm Pavilion for the banquet! The imperial chef outside had already started cooking dumplings. These dumplings were very different from the usual dumplings, they were called "Children's Wishes"! The dumplings were just about to be scooped up and presented to Zheyue Ru! The dumplings were raw, so Zheyue Ru could not eat them. She had to take a bite and spit them out, hiding them under the bed.

After that, Zhao Chen will rest for the time being! Then came the empress's ceremony!

After the ceremony, it was time for Zhao Chen and Zheyue Ru to have a "reunion meal" together!

During this period of time, all the guards and maids had retreated. Zhao Chen, Zheyue Ru was inside the Kunning Palace, while the guards and maids were outside chanting "Song of gift-giving" together!

After the singing, Zhao Chen and Zheyue Ru drank a cup of wine, the ceremony finally came to an end!

After finishing all these ceremonies, it was already dusk!

Zhao Chen was already sweating profusely!

In his previous life, he had never been married before. However, he had seen other people getting married before. However, getting married in his previous life wasn't as complicated as it was now!

From morning until now, Zhao Chen had almost never sat down, and was busy all the time!

In the past, when he went out to hunt and trained with Wang Chongyang, he had never been this tired!

"Your Majesty, a banquet will be held tonight! Your servant has already ordered people to prepare dishes filled with wine and meat, and now, I still need you to pass down the order for all of you to enter the palace! " Lin Bao came to Zhao Chen's side and said with a charming smile.

"Good!" Let the lords enter the palace! "I'm a bit tired. I really want to take a break!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, today is a grand wedding, we must not rest! His Majesty will only be able to rest after all of you have been sent away! " Lin Bao Dao.

"Got it!" Zhao Chen said indifferently.

The rain continued to fall, and with Zhe Keqiu leading the other ministers, they entered the palace!

This time, it was to entertain the lords in the Preservation Hall!

Zhao Chen sat at the top, looking at the ministers below, his face carrying a light smile.

Zhe Keqiu secretly praised him in his heart, thinking that this emperor was indeed worthy of the royal family's education from a young age, he had an extraordinary demeanor! Although it was just a straw bag, it had a good temperament on the surface! However, the more he saw this kind of temperament, the more he wanted to bully and humiliate the little Emperor. He wanted the little Emperor to kneel in front of him and accept his insult!

He could not help but look at Han Ping!

"This humble subject wishes Your Majesty a grand wedding!" Han Ping stood out and said.

"Thank you, Sir Han!" Zhao Chen laughed and said.

Your Majesty, Master Fold Zhe Keqiu is your true father-in-law today! Han Ping sneered, and said.

"That's right!" It's Father-in-law! " Zhao Chen nodded.

"On New Year's Eve, His Majesty once paid his respects to the Master Fold! Today's wedding, even the civilian's son-in-law had to pay his respects to his father-in-law, Shouldn't His Majesty pay his respects to the Master Fold? " Han Ping said.

Zhe Keqiu's bright eyes looked at Zhao Chen, waiting for him to kneel!

Zhao Chen was silent for a moment. Finally, he slowly walked down from the top and arrived in front of Zhe Keqiu. He knelt on the ground and said: "Greetings, father-in-law!"

Zhe Keqiu could not help but laugh out loud!

Zhao Chen held onto a cup of wine, Zhe Keqiu took it and drank it all!

"Very good! Very good! Your Majesty, go up! " Zhe Keqiu laughed for a while, and said.

Zhao Chen's face did not change, he only slowly returned to his own throne!

"Today is my wedding. The ministers are the pillars of the court. Today, the ministers will be happy together with me!" Zhao Chen raised his cup of wine again, and said!

The officials below all raised their wine cups and followed Zhao Chen to drink the wine!

"Master Fold congratulates your daughter on becoming the Empress!" After a while, Han Ping raised his wine cup and walked in front of Zhe Keqiu and smiled.

"Good, good, good! Thank you, Sir Han! " Zhe Keqiu laughed and downed the cup of wine!

"Congratulations Master Fold!" Wei Ming also stepped forward!

"Congratulations Master Fold!"

"Congratulations Master Fold!"

… ….

More and more ministers came forward to congratulate Zhe Keqiu!

Zhe Keqiu was half drunk!

He looked at Zhao Chen, and his heart was still not satisfied enough!

After a while, Zhe Keqiu suddenly stood up, and said: "Your Majesty, other people say that son-in-law is half a son! Today, His Majesty is my son-in-law and also half a son to me, Zhe Keqiu! Can Your Majesty kneel down and address me as your father? "

All the officials in the Preservation Hall were dumbfounded!

Zhao Chen also seemed to be stunned!

After a while, Zhao Chen suddenly shook his head, and said: "I'm afraid not!"

Seeing that Zhao Chen actually rejected Zhe Keqiu, the ministers were stunned again!

Zhe Keqiu was also stunned!
