Ming Dynasty: I risked my life to teach the prince, the emperor begged me not to die

Chapter 455: If the fate in the next life is not over

Chen Ce is getting married today, so naturally he won’t spoil the fun.

The women blocking the door asked Chen Ce to write a poem. Chen Ce pondered for a moment and then said, "I was worried that my love would damage my Buddhist practice, and I was afraid that I would leave the city when I went into the mountains. How can I have the best of both worlds, not disappointing the Tathagata and not disappointing you?"

"Is it okay?" Chen Ce asked.

He wrote the poem so fast that the women blocking the door couldn't react.

After he finished the poem, everyone suddenly reacted, and then carefully savored Chen Ce's words, and couldn't help but feel sad.

The world is in peace with the law of both ends, and the Tathagata will live up to the emperor.

Almost everyone was whispering, and many people did not understand the deeper meaning of it, but students such as Tang Yin and Xu Jing knew very well what Chen Ce meant.

He has very little time left in his life. In the beginning, he was unwilling to delay Madam Wu. Now he has mustered up the courage to marry his master's wife. Isn't this the best way to have the best of both worlds, not disappointing Tathagata and not disappointing his lover?
Fu Yuan sighed softly, looked deeply at Chen Ce, and couldn't help sighing: "If there is no Chen Chunjian in this world, how boring it will be in the future!"

Wang Shouren and several other Jinshi scholars also understood the helplessness and regret in Chen Ce's two lines of poetry.

God was fair to Chen Chunjian. He gave him great wisdom and talent, but did not give him enough time to indulge in this bustling world.

There is no perfect solution in the world. There has never been a perfect solution in the world...

These two lines of poetry spread to the ears of ordinary people outside the city at the fastest speed, especially within the circle of Confucian scholars.

"Chen Ce has published new poems again."

Some people shouted excitedly that they had not heard Chen Ce's poems for a long time.

Ning Zhijun and Su Hanmei, in particular, listened attentively.

"I once worried that my love would harm my Buddhist practice, and I was afraid of leaving the city when I went into the mountains. How can I have the best of both worlds, not to disappoint the Tathagata and not to disappoint you?"

The two talented ladies whispered to each other for a long time, their eyelids moistened, so...is this Chen Ce's regret?

He knows that he does not have much time left, so he wonders how can he have the best of both worlds, not disappointing Tathagata and not disappointing his lover?

But he is destined to let down his new wife, what a pity and helplessness!
Ning Zhijun and Su Hanmei looked at each other, then sighed to themselves.

……

The women who were blocking the door also opened it consciously at this time. They had no intention of making things difficult for Chen Ce. Besides, Chen Ce's two lines of poetry were quatrains, so how could they continue to block the door?

Madam Wu had been waiting for Chen Ce nervously in the house. Xiaohua also wore new clothes today, but she was mumbling all the time and looked very unhappy. She kept asking Madam Wu when she could marry Chen Ce.

When Chen Ce walked in, Xiaohua immediately rushed to Chen Ce. The little girl was growing more and more beautiful, and Chen Ce had already raised her as half a daughter.

"Brother Chen, when will you marry me?"

puff!
Zhu Houzhao spat out a mouthful of tea. Chen Ce rubbed her head and said, "Wait until you grow up."

Although Xiaohua knew that Chen Ce was sick, what she didn't know was that Chen Ce would not live long. Chen Ce never told her, nor did he let Madam Wu tell her.

She didn't want her child to spend the rest of his life in sorrow and sadness.

Chen Ce went to take Wu Niangzi's hand and whispered, "If our fate is not over in the next life, I would rather betray the heaven than you."

Madam Wu held Chen Ce's hand tightly and whispered, "On this happy day, don't say these sad words. I have no regrets. I don't think about the next life, I only want this night."

Chen Ce's eyes were also a little red. It was not easy for a person to find a good wife in his life, especially in the ancient times when arranged marriages were the norm.

Isn't this a kind of luck for Chen Ce?

"When you get on the carriage later, take a peek outside. It's a grand occasion."

Mrs. Wu said, "Is it okay? Isn't this against etiquette?" Chen Ce smiled and said, "Don't worry about it. It's okay."

"Ah."

After Chen Ce brought out Madam Wu, Zhu Houzhao and others led the way.

Madam Wu finally got on the sedan chair, and Chen Ce no longer needed to sit in the sedan chair. He rode on a white horse and led the way forward.

This time, the onlookers could finally witness the groom's elegance.

At this time, it was getting dark.

Zhengyang Street was packed with people, as if all the people in Shuntian Prefecture had gathered on Zhengyang Street to witness this extraordinary wedding.

Young Master Yan Nian was as gentle as jade. When the young girls on the street saw Chen Ce's appearance, countless of them were fascinated by him.

boom! boom! boom!
Just as Chen Ce was riding on his horse and continuing on his journey, fireworks suddenly shot up into the sky on both sides of the road!
Brilliant and colorful, rising into the sky, never stopping!
Needless to say, this must be another gift from Emperor Hongzhi to Chen Ce.

The fireworks filling the sky not only added luster to Chen Ce's wedding, but also contained all the words that Emperor Hongzhi had for Chen Ce.

This grand fireworks display is a gift from me to you. It is also a reward for your contribution to the entire Ming Dynasty over the years!
I have never forgotten your contribution to the Ming Dynasty!

The people looked up at the fireworks over Peking and exclaimed: "How beautiful!"

The sky is full of fireworks and the bustle on Zhengyang Street today is comparable to the Lantern Festival.

The roads were blocked and the Five Cities Army and the Five Military Governor's Office had to continue to dispatch personnel to maintain order.

Zhang Mao cursed, "Damn it! Keep sending people over! Don't miss the time. The carriage can't move forward. Can't you see it?"

Chen Ce smiled, sat on the white horse, looked up at the fireworks, and felt that all his efforts were worth it.

It’s a pity that my life will be like these brilliant fireworks and will not last long.

Madam Wu lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, looked at the fireworks in the sky outside, looked at the people crowded on both sides, slowly covered her mouth, tears in her eyes.

She never thought that her wedding would be so gorgeous and luxurious.

It was obviously a happy day, but I couldn't stop my tears from flowing out.

Xiao Hua asked Wu Madam innocently, "Sister, why are you crying?"

"Look how beautiful the fireworks are."

"I'm going to marry Brother Chen in the future. Can I have fireworks like this?"

Madam Wu nodded: "Of course, I can!"

No matter how beautiful the fireworks are, they only last for a moment. Your brother may never be able to marry you from now on.

Xiaohua held up her rosy face, looked at the beautiful fireworks outside, and fell into deep thought. As she looked, a smile appeared on her face, and in her starry eyes she seemed to have seen her future marriage.

After an unknown amount of time, the wedding procession finally arrived at the mansion on Zhengyang Street.

The mansion was already packed with people, and no one expected so many people to come today.

Wang Wubi and Fu Yuan came back early, busy and sweating.

Fu Yuan complained in a low voice: "The emperor is so disgusting."

Wang Wubi: “…”

Of course, he didn't know why Fu Yuan said this. Fu Yuan knew very well that the fact that so many people came today was a hint from Emperor Hongzhi. These people were not here to attend Chen Ce's wedding, but to give face to Emperor Hongzhi!
