After chatting for a while, I saw the nanny in red palace attire walking in with a smile: "Good luck to the queen mother, good luck to the empress, good luck to all the empresses, the nine princesses came to bid farewell to everyone."

"Xuan!" The queen mother nodded, with a slight smile on her majestic face.

All the maids in red palace attire walked into the main hall and stood on both sides of the hall.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Pan'er walked in slowly.

The bright red Feng Guanxia drape, said to support her small face more and more charming and eye-catching, there is a smile on the corner of her mouth, but the smile does not reach the bottom of the eyes, the eyes are holding back the hatred and anger, and she walks towards the center of the hall step by step.

"Hey, the little girl is still a little tender, she thinks she hides well, but she doesn't know everything is engraved in her eyes." Concubine Yi quietly turned her head, and she and Concubine Liang whispered to each other.

Concubine Liang twitched the corners of her mouth in embarrassment, and nodded perfunctorily.

I thought, Empress Yifei, shall we discuss this matter later?
The Queen Mother is still sitting up there, and the two of us are whispering to each other below, isn't it slapping her old man in the face?
What's more, it's none of our business whether or not the ninth princess hides her emotions well.

Fortunately, after Yifei only said this sentence, she sat up straight again, on the surface, she was still dignified and elegant.

Chu Pan'er knelt down on a futon, listened to the queen's instruction, and then the mother said a few more words, then kowtowed goodbye.

With a high-pitched "auspicious time" from outside, Chu Pan'er left the Palace of Compassion and Ning surrounded by the maids.

Concubine Xian looked at her daughter, her eyes were slightly red.

The wedding sedan chair waited directly at the gate of the Compassion Ning Palace.

When the princess got married, even if Queen Song didn't care, the Ministry of Rites followed the rules, and the scene was extremely grand.

From the imperial palace to Ji's mansion, there was an endless stream of onlookers along the road.

The seventh prince rode on horseback at the front of the procession, and personally delivered the marriage.

As for the other princes, at most they would go to have a glass of wedding wine in the evening and go through the motions.

After all, they were not particularly close to Chu Pan'er, the younger sister.

Ji Chong was waiting outside the door early, and the young masters following him laughed and teased him.

"Seeing how nervous you are, whether you're being cowardly or not, it's possible that you're afraid that the bride will run away."

"That's a princess, I'd be nervous if it was me, but it's still Ji Chong's luck to marry the emperor's princess."

"Hey, I also went there on the day the third prince married his side concubine. Why didn't I jump into the river as a hero to save the beauty without this boy's reaction. My heart hurts."

"Brothers are developed, so you can't forget our brothers."

"..."

While talking and joking, the welcoming team slowly moved from far to near.

Chu Pan'er is the respected princess, Ji Chong didn't dare to kick the delicate door to strengthen her husband, waited for Mammy Xi to help her out of the sedan chair, and hurriedly walked towards the mansion holding the end of the red silk .

Chu Pan'er did not kneel at the hall.

How dare the Ji family have any objections.

The sound of "Courtesy, send to the bridal chamber" fell, and the couple returned to the wedding room.

Suddenly, the servant beside the Seventh Prince hurried to his side and whispered something in his ear.

Chu Shi'an's face changed slightly, and then he left without looking back.

Master Ji and Mrs. Ji looked at each other, panicked in their hearts, they didn't know where they didn't entertain her, but they made the Seventh Prince look ugly and left like that.

"What's going on?" Ji Benyang asked the servant anxiously.

The servant showed a dazed expression: "Master, don't worry, this servant will go and inquire now."

With that said, the man ran away.

However, without waiting for the servants to inquire clearly, they saw a few people dressed as servants rushing into the main hall, whispering to their respective masters with solemn expressions.

Soon, several more officials left.

Seeing this, the rest couldn't help whispering.

"What's going on? Why did the Seventh Prince leave suddenly?"

"Where are these grown-ups?"

"Could it be that the Ji family has offended someone? Then let's go too."

"What nonsense are you talking about? If only the Seventh Prince leaves alone, you can still say that the Ji family has offended him. It is clearly not the Ji family's business that these adults leave together."

"That's right, the Ji family is married to the present Ninth Princess, how brave these adults are to dare to shame the Ji family."

"I just saw that Ji Benyang asked his servants to inquire about it. Let's wait and see."

"..."

After a long while, the young man who went out to inquire about the news left and returned.

Ji Benyang asked without hesitation: "Did you ask?"

The little servant didn't even dare to take a breath first, and hurriedly said: "In the battle with the Western Jin army three days ago, General Shen was defeated and seriously injured. The city will be attacked again, and the situation is tense, so the emperor urgently ordered the officials to go to court to discuss matters."

"What?" Everyone was shocked: "General Shen lost?"

One can imagine how terrified people are in Changcheng today. The army supported by the court has just set off for two days. Even if they travel day and night to reach Changcheng, it will take ten days at the fastest. The morale of the general is low. 's arrival

It was a lively and joyous day, because of what happened, everyone lost the mood to laugh, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle.

Someone secretly thought that Chu Pan'er was also considered unlucky.

The news of Changseong's defeat came on such a happy day, which made people feel like a blessed person.

……

In the Golden Luan Hall, the atmosphere was heavy and depressing. General Shen's defeat was a great blow to them.

"Your Majesty, the morale in Changcheng is low now. I think I should send the prince there to boost momentum and let the soldiers of the three armies know that the imperial court is with them, and the Great Wei is with them."

The Minister of the Ministry of War stood in the hall, bent down and said.

Emperor Chengde's face was slightly cold, he frowned in thought, and after a while he said: "What do you think?"

Minister of the Ministry of War is Liu Xiang's man, and when he opened his mouth, people from Liu Xiang's party stood up and echoed him.

Some generals also agree.

The emperor is the son of heaven, and he can't take it lightly unless it is absolutely necessary, so it is the most appropriate way to send a prince at this time.

If he can return triumphantly, this is a real military achievement...

What Liu Xiang said was to test Emperor Chengde in a different direction. He wanted to see who the emperor would choose?

In terms of age, the second prince is the most qualified among the several princes to go to war on behalf of his father.

But if he wants to make the eighth prince the crown prince, then the emperor will never let the eighth prince miss this opportunity to make meritorious service.

Liu Xiang wanted to know exactly how far the emperor has done for the Eighth Prince...

Emperor Chengde glanced at Liu Xiang casually, and sneered in his heart.

old fox.

Don't think I don't know what's going on in your mind.

"Preach my decree, order the second prince, third prince, and fifth prince to set off immediately and join Yongyihou's army as soon as possible, and go to Changcheng to support. Song Yanjun and Wu will select 2000 soldiers from the Jingwu Guard and Yulin Army to obey the order. , Escort the three princes to set off."

Emperor Chengde's cold and majestic voice resounded above the hall.

Like a dull thunder, it hit the crowd head on, making people stunned for a long time and unable to recover.
