Anti-Qing: Starting from the Jintian Uprising

Chapter 518 Extra
The eleventh year of Kaitai, 1866 in the Western calendar.

It was the tenth day of June and the weather was sunny.

Great joy, suitable for weddings and funerals.

There was a festive atmosphere in the Old Summer Palace.

Red ribbons and big red wedding characters are posted everywhere, and red lanterns are hung in many places.

Today is the day when the Tang Emperor's most beloved eldest daughter gets married.

Inside Jiuzhou Qingyan's study, the door of the emperor's study was closed. The chief eunuch Wang Zhong stood outside the door and raised his hand to knock.

But as soon as he raised his hand, he put it down involuntarily.

The emperor was in a bad mood today. Although he was a close eunuch, he did not dare to disturb him.

Otherwise, if you happen to run into the emperor's gun, you would die without knowing how.

However, as the auspicious time approached, Wang Zhong became more and more conflicted.

Finally, he seemed to have made up his mind.

Just as he raised his hand to knock on the door, he saw the queen, wearing a phoenix crown and gorgeous clothes, hurried over with several maids.

"What about Your Majesty?"

Seeing that the door of the imperial study was closed, Luo Caiyu couldn't help but ask.

Wang Zhong bowed and spoke in a somewhat dry voice.

"To reply to the Queen, His Majesty is still in the study and has not come out yet."

Upon hearing this, Luo Caiyu couldn't help but frown. She walked forward, stretched out her hand, pushed open the door of the imperial study, and then walked inside.

Soon, he saw the emperor with visibly red and swollen eyes in the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, today is Miss Jinyue's wedding day, we must not miss the auspicious time."

Hearing this, Li Yi wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief and muttered.

"It's a waste of time, it's just a good opportunity that I don't have to get married..."

Li Yi has always been a daughter slave. For a daughter slave, it is really a heartbreaking thing for her daughter to get married.

Even though he was an emperor, he couldn't help but shed tears when faced with such things.

Luo Caiyu couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard that.

"Your Majesty, the ministers of the court and the envoys of various countries are all waiting outside. You don't want to embarrass yourself to the whole world, do you?"

"I know you can't bear to part with Jin Yue, and I can't bear to part with her either, but today is a great day, and we can't joke around."

"But after the marriage, if Your Majesty misses her, you can summon her to the palace to meet him from time to time."

Luo Caiyu's words were not false. Although Li Jinyue was the daughter of Fu Shanxiang, she grew up in her care. Besides, she was a princess and posed no threat to her son's throne.

Luo Caiyu still likes this girl very much.

After hearing this, Li Yi was finally convinced.

Only then did he call for the eunuch to help him change his clothes.

However, when Li Yi walked out of the room, his eyes were still red.

However, due to Li Yi's usual majesty, no one dared to laugh.

Li Yi walked to the main hall and participated in the princess's wedding ceremony.

After all the ceremonies were completed, Li Jinyue and her husband came to Li Yi to serve tea.

Li Yi took the teacup and drank it all. He stared at the man in front of him who was trying to take his daughter away with his slightly red and swollen eyes, and said with gritted teeth.

"Little bastard, remember this, you must treat Jinyue well after marriage."

"If Jinyue has been wronged, you should come to the palace to serve her!"

As soon as Li Yi said this, the young man in front of him turned pale.

He is just an ordinary person. How could he have ever faced the emperor directly?

Facing the emperor's threat, he was already quite courageous enough not to collapse on the ground out of fear.

Upon hearing this, Li Jinyue took a step forward and stood in front of the young man, acting coquettishly to her father with a slightly pouty face.

"Father, today is a happy day, why are you scaring my husband for no reason?"

"If you keep doing this, I'll pull out your beard!"

Her protectiveness towards her husband was evident.

Because her husband was chosen by herself. He was a classmate she met at Beijing University, a young man with great talent in scientific research. To put it bluntly, her marriage was a free love, not a political marriage!
Therefore, Li Jinyue would naturally protect him.

In front of outsiders, Li Yi is a very majestic Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He is decisive in killing and can decide the life and death and wealth of millions of people with just a word. He is the most powerful person in the world.

But in front of his daughter, he is just a daughter slave and an old father.

The way he and his daughter get along is no different from that of an ordinary father and daughter.

Therefore, Li Jinyue is not really afraid of Li Yi.

Upon hearing this, Li Yi's face was full of helplessness.

I smiled bitterly in my heart, girls can’t be kept at home when they grow up!
"Good! Good! Good!"

"Father, I won't say any more. I won't say any more!"

The wedding was held quickly, and after completing all the ceremonies, Li Jinyue got into the wedding car and prepared to go to her husband's home.

Li Jinyue's husband was born into a commoner family. It was only because of his talent in studying that he was able to receive a scholarship from the imperial court and enter the most prestigious university in the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, Li Yi simply granted the two of them a mansion in the inner city of the capital.

It is a garden covering a large area, and the decorative furniture inside are of the best quality.

Most importantly, this garden is not far from the Old Summer Palace.

It is convenient for Li Jinyue to come back to the palace at any time!

The wedding car that Li Jinyue used for her wedding was none other than Li Yi's royal car.

Li Yi specially sent out his own royal fleet of cars to be used as wedding cars for Li Jinyue.

As for whether doing so exceeds the limit?

Let’s put it this way, for Li Yi, his rules are the only rules.

He wanted to give his chariot to his daughter, who would dare to object?
When Li Jinyue was 16 years old and learning to drive for the first time, he accidentally crashed into the Huabiao outside the Meridian Gate.

Even so, Li Yi only punished her by putting her in solitary confinement for a few days, well, the kind where she had to be locked up in her room.

The emperor loves his daughter, and no one dares to raise any objections!
……

Inner city of the capital!

Because the princess's wedding procession had to pass through, the road in the inner city was closed early.

Traffic police in uniform can be seen everywhere on the roadside directing traffic.

Beside the asphalt road, pedestrians were eagerly waiting to see the convoy pass by.

At this moment, there was a sound of an engine.

A convoy slowly drove towards us from the direction of the Old Summer Palace, and common people who often stayed near the Imperial City recognized it at a glance.

This is the emperor's royal carriage team!
Whether it is the car logo or the license plate, they are both very conspicuous signs.

A group of people couldn't help but talk about it.

"Oh my goodness, using the emperor's carriage as a wedding car, this princess is really loved!"

"Wow, there are so many cars connected together, what a grand scene."

"That's nothing. I heard that the emperor prepared 188 million in cash for his daughter's dowry. In addition, there are countless treasures from home and abroad."

"It is said that even the huge diamond called the Heart of India, which was passed down from the crown of the Great Khan of the Mughal Khanate, was used by the emperor as a dowry for his daughter..."

Although the Tang Dynasty today is experiencing currency depreciation and inflation due to a surge in silver production and an increase in currency stocks due to industrial and economic development.

But 188 million in cash is still amazing enough!
Just then, a car with a big horn drove by.

The loud voice echoed throughout the street.

"The Emperor of the Great Tang has issued an order that today the Emperor is marrying off his daughter, and the whole world is celebrating. The agricultural tax in all provinces and counties will be reduced by half this year."

"For those over 50 years old, half a pound of meat, half a pound of wine, and 20 feet of cotton cloth will be given."

"For those over 60 years old, one pound of meat, one pound of wine, and one piece of cotton cloth shall be granted. This is my decree!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd watching the excitement was suddenly in an uproar.

I don't know who took the lead, but suddenly there was a cheer.

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty! Long live His Majesty, long live His Majesty!"

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty! Long live His Majesty, long live His Majesty!"
