She fell out after crying at the wrong grave

May 28th, conflict with dragon, bad luck in the north.

The God of Joy is in the southeast, the God of Wealth is in the southeast, and the God of Fortune is in the northeast.

A red road was laid all the way from Changsheng Hall to the square in front of Jinluan Hall, all the way south to Yongning Gate outside the palace wall.

The ministers, wearing court robes and carrying tablets, brought their families with them. They looked solemn, but in fact they were standing sparsely on both sides of the Danbi, facing the midday sun.

According to the etiquette process submitted by You Bei, getting married at noon is a traditional custom on the grassland, so the princess's wedding must also be at noon.

Although not all the people were present, all the ministers who opposed the peace talks with Youbei expressed their dissatisfaction with the emperor's wanton and unscrupulous decision by refusing to attend the wedding.

Of course, in order to prevent Shen Zhuo from causing trouble later, the Censorate did not even have a reason to stop it. Everyone made things difficult for themselves, which was better than forcing themselves to smile in front of the bridal sedan.

Many people in the capital had been suffering from vomiting and diarrhea in recent days, and it was said that it was because they drank unclean water. The Dali Temple sent people to investigate and found that the moat where the people got their water was polluted.

Shen Zhuo ordered the sorcerer to make an elixir, saying that he wanted to find a place where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered, but it couldn't be too far away, so he built a shrine to make the elixir on the top of Zhuluan Peak at the end of the moat.

The sorcerers collected water and used all their washing utensils in the stream. If they went down, they would reach the river. How could they not get sick if they drank the dirty water?

Shen Zhuo ignored the situation. However, since the Palace of Gods was directly under Shen Zhuo and was only dispatched by the emperor, he could do nothing even if he was anxious.

The price of water became more and more expensive day by day. Some people transported water from other places and sold it at high prices. Businessmen who wanted to make a lot of money followed suit.

Rich people can afford it, but poor people can only drink the dirty water, then get sick and die because they have no money to see a doctor.

Soon, after the moat flowed out of the capital, these tragic conditions began to occur in other towns through which it flowed.

So a stream of memorials were sent into Chong'an Hall and then sent out intact.

The world has been in deep thought for a long time.

But the victim didn't care at all and continued to prepare for the upcoming marriage.

Jin Feng brought his fourth wife with him. She was young and delicate, and the imperial robes and hats she wore were heavy. She was so hot that she could not stand and kept leaning on him.

He was so annoyed that he grabbed a eunuch next to him and asked, "The auspicious time has come, Your Majesty and Your Highness, why haven't you come yet?"

Huangmen held the ceremonial guard, thinking, "You ask me, who should I ask?" He shook his head and said, "The nobles have their own reasons. My Lord, just wait patiently."

The nobles' reason was that they were still leisurely sitting in the Chong'an Hall, holding their tea, without taking a single step forward.

Shen Zhuo, wearing a bright yellow court robe and a crown with twelve tassels, stood in front of his collection with satisfaction and smiled proudly.

A'ao followed behind him, wearing bright makeup and precious jewels.

This wedding dress is enough to show □□'s style.

On both sides of the lapels, there were embroidered Ruyi patterns. Below was a tightly constricted waist, held in place by a waistband adorned with red jade and agate, which was a full palm wide.

The skirt is long and heavy, with dragon and phoenix patterns embroidered all over the back, and the drooping train can only be pulled up by walking forward. It is lined with a Luojin pomegranate skirt.

Even the high cloud-like shoes were adorned with emerald jade.

People stuffed into such luxurious torture instruments can hardly breathe.

A'ao's neck ached, but she dared not move, for fear that the gold hairpins would fall to the ground if she lowered her head.

If there is any bump or scratch, it will be difficult to sell it.

It was clearly the auspicious time, but Shen Zhuo dismissed the ceremonial guard and called her into the hall. Ah'ao was very nervous.

The time that Mrs. Cui had agreed with her the day before was approaching. Plus the complicated procedures, it was bound to be late. If something unexpected happened, it would be in line with today's lunar calendar, and everything would be unsuitable.

Shen Zhuo admired enough and turned around, "Yuan Ning, take a look at these treasures of mine." He pointed to the well-framed calligraphy and paintings on the shelf behind him.

Today he suddenly put on human skin and spoke human language.

At a glance, A'e saw the painting of the emperor hunting in the middle, which was the most delicately framed.

She curled her lips slightly and complimented, "Yes, your majesty's collection is the best."

Shen Zhuo raised his chin proudly and looked at the hunting map carefully. "When your father was alive, he wanted this map." He put his hands behind his back, looking as arrogant as ever, and it was obvious that he was going to mock her. "But it is said that this map can only be found by a wise emperor. He spent his whole life seeking it but never got it. I found this map a year after I ascended the throne. It shows that I, the Son of Heaven, am blessed by heaven and a real dragon in the world. And your father, huh."

As soon as the contemptuous laugh came out, Ah'ao understood.

It can be seen that Hengzhi's trick of sending the painting was very effective.

The red face was pressed against her cheek, and she smiled brightly. "That's right. Your Majesty, what do you think of this painting? Yuan Ning is not very talented and well-educated, so it's difficult for me to understand its profound meaning."

as predicted.

Through Shen Zhuo's tireless and grand narration, A'ao not only felt his meager talent, but also discovered that he was fooled and actually did not understand painting at all.

Ah-yi found these exaggerated descriptions very useful.

Shen Zhuo suggested that in addition to the hunting painting, he could give her another painting as a dowry.

A'ao declined politely.

At first glance, none of them are valuable.

Shen Zhuo then sighed and finally stepped out of the palace gate, "After today, the last threat to my throne will be resolved! God will not let me down, it is really because of my great blessings, hahahaha!"

A'ao paused, it turned out to be because of this.

Well, Shen Zhuo, this is the only luck he has in this life.

The female official beside her handed her a round fan, covering half of her face. She adjusted her dress again, smoothed out the wrinkles, and this time the female official helped her out of the palace.

Xiao Jin also wore court dress today and followed Shen Zhuo very dignifiedly.

Ah'ao hadn't seen her for half a month. Her belly was now slightly bulging and she looked softer, like her mother.

Xiao Jin ignored A'ao's gaze, slowed down her pace and moved closer to her.

"Have you got it?" She lowered her eyes to look at A's hand and asked softly.

To anyone, this is just a question about the fan in your hand.

Ah-yi understood and replied, "Of course everything is fine. Madam Cui, is she waiting for me in front of Yongning Gate?" Xiao Jin stretched out her hand and helped Ah-yi steady the heavy gold hairpin, "Of course everything is fine."

Now everything is ready, only the last step is left.

"This trip, I hope you have a safe journey."

A'ao smiled and didn't say anything.

Let’s hope so.

When the clothes were soaked with sweat and the faces of princes and ministers were flushed, the emperor and the princess who was about to be married finally arrived.

Under the canopy, Shen Zhuo accepted the worship of all officials with peace of mind.

To say that there are hundreds of officials is actually an exaggeration.

When A'ao stood up, she took a quick look and found that the officials from the Secretariat had not come.

Soon, the wedding envoy dressed in Youbei costumes came slowly from the palace gate and handed over the marriage certificate written on sheepskin.

It is considered friendly, and both sides should respect each other's customs. Since Da Chong sent the princess out at noon according to Youbei's customs, it is reasonable for Youbei to submit the marriage certificate according to the rules of the Central Plains.

After the marriage certificate was read, A'ao was taken to the terrace and made to kneel down and listen to instructions.

He talked about the three obediences and four virtues, bearing children, and reproducing. He also mentioned being respectful and virtuous, which sounded like a long-winded lesson in the rules of the harem.

Shen Zhuo really is a person who cares a lot about his offspring. This is the epitome of all the men in the Shen family projected onto him.

The Youbei envoys were wearing sheepskin clothes, which made them extremely hot and stuffy. Shen Zhuo kept talking non-stop, and several of them were sweating profusely, but they were not bored at all.

The carriage could not enter the palace and had stopped outside Yongning Gate.

Only after Shen Zhuo personally escorted the princess out of Yongning Gate, which was the last part of the wedding ceremony, could they ride back at full speed.

Hu Gui did not personally welcome the princess, which meant that he deliberately relaxed his vigilance in welcoming the princess. In this way, even if the princess ran away halfway, it would not be considered his fault.

After all, Ah'ao had already said that he didn't need to worry about running away.

Being helped up with aching knees, Ah'ao gritted her teeth, pinched the golden hairpin on her sleeve, and thought that this must be the last time, and she would never kneel to this bastard again in her life.

Ah-yi had spent several days carefully sharpening this golden hairpin, and the tail had become extremely sharp, sticking to Ah-yi's forearm.

Ah-yi raised her head, her sharp eyes fell on Shen Zhuo's back as he strode forward.

She followed closely behind, step by step, as if treading on the heartstrings, every moment was critical.

At the same time, on the inner wall behind Yongning Gate, a group of people fell silently, and another group of people replaced them silently.

Madam Cui tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand and kept looking back. No matter which of the two half-closed inner palace doors opened first, she was anxious.

It was already half an hour late, but they were outside the palace gate and no one knew what was going on inside the palace.

The sounds of ritual music suddenly became closer.

Mrs. Cui's body froze and she listened quietly for a moment.

It was just a moment, and after a moment, she immediately took out the bamboo flute she had prepared from her sleeve and responded to the sound of the ritual music.

Shen Zhuo was walking on the palace road and stopped when he heard the clear and pleasant sound of the flute.

"Who plays the flute?"

Xue Ping took half a step back and immediately replied, "Your Majesty, this is Cui, the wife of the late Minister of Personnel, who is outside the inner palace preparing to escort the princess to her wedding. The lady is very good at playing the flute, and she is using this to congratulate the princess."

The sound of a flute came from outside the Yongning Gate, and the horse with its head bowed under the willow tree neighed.

The group of people in black armor stood beside the carriage covered in red and colorful ornaments, and no one was suspicious. The waves in the moat were also unlikely to attract the attention of passers-by.

All the Youbei envoys who came to welcome the bride disappeared outside the palace wall.

Inside the palace wall, A'ao watched the palace gate roaring open and gently lifted her sleeves.

The ceremonial officer shouted, "The princess is getting married—"

The stopped ceremonial music suddenly started again.

Ah'ao stood half a step behind Shen Zhuo.

Just as the rest of the people were bowing and saying goodbye, a red shadow flashed by.

"Don't scream."

Shen Zhuo felt the coldness on his neck. His chin was pinched and his body was leaning backward, looking extremely miserable.

He wanted to scream, but the cold words in his ears were like the sharp pain in his neck, making it impossible for him to survive.

"How dare you! How dare you! Someone come! Where are the Jinwu Guards!" Xue Ping got up from the ground and shouted in panic.

The Jinwu Guards had no time to get through this narrow gate.

According to the rules, the Jinwu Guards should not be wearing armor and carrying swords to guard weddings and other festive occasions.

After careful calculations, Ah'ao finally waited for this opportunity.

The tip of the hairpin went deeper into the skin, and Shen Zhuo felt a sharp pain in his neck.

Ah-yi pulled him back a few steps and said calmly in his ear, "If you want to live, tell them to retreat."

Shen Zhuo knew that if the thing in Ah's hand was an inch deeper, he would bleed to death. Shen Zhuo was trembling all over, and his teeth were trembling unconsciously, "Back off, back off, back off, back off!"

"Do you want to go down and see your elder brother, uncle?"

Ah's eyes were full of smiles.
