Everyone pricked up their ears.

Zhao Shiji said: "I have been studying Buddhism recently and have gained a lot. I feel that I have a connection with Buddha and I want to leave the world and become a monk!"

"what?"

Everyone was shocked.

Monk?

You've only been Duke for two or three months, and you're quitting?

Zhao Shihui, Zhao Shirong and other royal relatives looked at him in surprise.

"My son Wuxian is well-educated, talented in both literature and martial arts. He has now established a family and a career, and is able to stand on his own. This makes me very happy!"

Zhao Shiji said: "So, I have already petitioned the emperor to pass on my title of Duke of Jingguo to my son Wuxian!"

"what?"

Zhao Shihui was stunned.

"Can you still play like this?"

He looked at Zhao Shirong.

Zhao Shirong frowned.

The royal title system of the Song Dynasty was different from that of other dynasties.

The title was conferred by fiefdom rather than inherited.

Even if he is a prince, he has to work his way up from Duke of a County, to Duke of a State, to Prince of a County, and so on.

The royal title is divided into three ranks: king, heir to the throne and prince of a county.

Most of the royal titles are members of the royal family, and the title ends at the age of one, and is usually not hereditary.

Only the Prince of Anding, who worshipped Emperor Taizu of Song, and the four successor kings of Pu, Xiu, Rong and Yi, practiced hereditary succession from elder brother to younger brother.

What does that mean?

For example, the title of Prince of Anding was chosen from among all the descendants of Emperor Taizu of Song, rather than being passed down from father to son.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that the title cannot be inherited, and that the children of royal family will have a miserable life.

It was more common for royal families in the Song Dynasty to enter officialdom through imperial patronage. They could be appointed to official positions at a very young age, whether it was the second son or the concubine's son.

It was the same for Zhao Wuxian's second uncle Zhao Shiliang, who worked in the county government.

But there are also those who start their own businesses, like my third uncle Zhao Shizhen.

Why did Zhao Shirong spare no effort to help Zhao Shiji become the Duke?

Because there is an extra Duke position of 0.2, they are all from the same lineage of Taizu and have a chance to be conferred the title of Duke of Jingguo!

Therefore, if Zhao Shiji succeeded in abdicating, it would mean that her plan would have come to nothing.

Only Zhao Shihui would be so surprised.

"Will the government agree?"

Zhao Shirong sighed, “If Zhao Wuxian was just an ordinary person, it would be difficult. But he has the fighting power to kill a great master of the Heaven Realm. What do you think? Forget about conferring him the title of Duke of Jingguo. If the government is more generous, it wouldn’t be too much to confer him the title of King now!”

Experts look at the details, while laymen just watch the excitement.

Zhao Shiji's announcement made the wedding atmosphere even more lively.

Everyone stood up and toasted, congratulating Zhao Wuxian for his success in both love and career, and sending him their best wishes.

The banquet lasted until midnight, and the guests left one after another.

After a day of hard work, Zhao Wuxian could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The old lady, supported by her younger sister-in-law Zhao Wenyao, said, "Go quickly. The night is short. Don't keep the bride waiting for too long."

Zhao Wuxian chuckled. There were still two battles waiting for him!

He walked briskly back to the bridal chamber. Li Qingluo and the others in the outer hall saw him and said with a smile, "Oh, the groom is here!"

"Groom, you have to deal with two ladies. I'm afraid you don't have enough energy, so we won't make a fuss in the bridal chamber. You have to work harder tonight!"

They smiled and joked, and took Zhong Ling and the others out, and the new house became quiet and charming.

Chapter 145: Wedding Night, 10,000 Times Critical Hit Return, Eight Wonders·Fenghou Qimen!

Duke Jingguo’s Mansion!

Mingxin Hall, inner room.

The candles were burning, illuminating the surroundings, creating a warm atmosphere.

The thousand-year-old cold jade bed met the air, and on the ground, wisps of white mist filled the air, creating a fairyland-like scene.

Wang Yuyan and Mu Wanqing had already bathed, changed into light clothes, and sat at the table.

"Okay, the groom is here, two beautiful ladies, we will wait outside. If there is anything, let me know!"

Ah Zhu, who was accompanying them, stood up, put red veils on them, and walked out with Huang Rong, Ah Bi and You Cao.

Then, footsteps came in and the door was closed.

The approaching sound fell on the hearts of the two people, making Wang Yuyan and Mu Wanqing so nervous that they could hear their own heartbeats.

Zhao Wuxian came up to the two women and smiled at them.

Both of them had their faces covered with red silk, were dressed exactly the same, and had their heads lowered.

"My two ladies, sorry for the wait!"

Zhao Wuxian also took a bath to wash away the smell of alcohol.

"Yu Yan!"

He first lifted the veil of the bride on the left, and immediately saw a pretty and charming face with beautiful eyes looking at him.

It was Wang Yuyan.

She was wearing a red gauze dress and had a face as beautiful as a fairy. It would be hard to forget her once you saw her.

Her hair was tied up high, she had a little makeup on, and her dark eyebrows were full of tenderness.

Anyone who sees her eyes will be intoxicated by them and unable to extricate themselves.

"Wanqing!"

Zhao Wuxian lifted up Mu Wanqing's red veil again, and saw the new moon, bright light, and flowers and trees covered with snow.

Mu Wanqing's eyebrows and eyes are like a painting, beautiful and extraordinary.

She has a pointed chin, a fair complexion, a clever and neat cherry mouth, and very thin lips, just like a flawless jade.

04The two girls looked at him tenderly with eyes as clear as water.

Zhao WuXian smiled and hugged them, saying, "Ladies, let's drink from each other's cups first!"

"Ok!"

A pot of sweet wine was prepared on the table. Zhao Wuxian poured three cups and handed them to Wang Yuyan and Mu Wanqing.

The cup is a jade cup.

Wine is a jade liquid.

People are also beauties.

The candlelight illuminates, the glasses of wine are reflected by the people, it is really beautiful.

Outer hall.

Ah Zhu, Ah Bi, Huang Rong, and You Cao were lying at the door.

"Sister Azhu, can you see it?" Youcao said.

"The screen is blocking the view!"

Huang Rong blushed. Why was she eavesdropping with these three little girls?

Although she was young, she had read many books and naturally knew what the bridal chamber was about.

but.

Know it and know it.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't curious.

This kind of petty theft felt exciting and made her very excited.

And outside the palace.

Li Qingluo, Qin Hongmian, Gan Baobao, Ruan Xingzhu and others asked Zhong Ling to take Zhou Zhiruo and Xiao Zhao to rest and then quietly returned.

Like a thief, he came to the wall.

"Isn't it a bit bad for us to do this?" Gan Baobao said in a low voice.

"What's wrong?"

Li Qingluo said: "Shouldn't we keep a close eye on the newlyweds in their bridal chamber? Otherwise they will be embarrassed and treat each other with respect!"

"Keep your voice down!" Qin Hongmian said.

"How's it going in there?"

"I don't know, there's no movement!"

"They wouldn't, they wouldn't, just go to sleep without doing anything?"

Li Qingluo suddenly heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw it was Zhao Wenyao. She was surprised and asked, "Aunt Zhao, you're here too?"

Zhao Wenyao looked at them in surprise and coughed lightly, "My mother was worried and asked me to come over to take a look."

Ruan Xingzhu, who had been lying by the window, suddenly said, "Shh! There's movement!"

Crunch!

The window was suddenly pushed open and hit Ruan Xingzhu's head.
