Chapter 159 Wedding
Chapter 159 Wedding
Early the next morning, Yinsi, Yinlu and Yinlu also formally bid farewell to the king.
The king was very reluctant to leave. "We have already agreed on a long-term cooperation. Why don't you stay a little longer and have a good time in England?"
"You have seen our autumn and winter in England, but you have not seen our spring and summer."
"We have stayed here long enough. Now the sea has completely thawed and we miss our families."
"But, but your prince hasn't fallen in love with my precious daughter yet? If you leave, my daughter will be sad."
Yinsi patted the king on the shoulder and said, "We Chinese have an old saying, 'A forced melon is not sweet.' The princess is so beautiful, I'm sure you will meet your ideal husband in the future."
Three days later, the day they left, the jewels, seeds, animals, spices, and books they bought from England had all been loaded onto the ship.
Just as they were about to board the ship, the king and the princess came over with a group of people.
Just as they were about to thank them for coming to see them off, the princess came over and was about to grab Hongshi's arm.
Hongshi immediately jumped behind Yinzhen as if he was avoiding the plague god.
"Everyone, in order to show England's sincerity, our princess will accompany you to the Qing Dynasty as an envoy. I hope you can take care of my precious daughter."
"To show our sincerity," the king pointed to a ship docked behind them.
"The ship is a gift from me to the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. If my baby marries someone from the royal family, I will send someone to give her a more generous dowry."
The few of them had no choice but to agree to take the princess and everyone else back with them.
Fortunately, the princess stayed obediently on her own ship, and Hongshi finally felt relieved.
This year's New Year in the palace seemed to be the same as usual, but the atmosphere of helplessness and separation lingered in everyone's hearts.
The only good news was that the old Khan died suddenly and was succeeded by the young new Khan, who also renegotiated with Yinzhen about the marriage.
Everyone was happy for Chao Gui. Although he still had to marry, he was a young man after all, and was always much better than an old man.
Su He entered the capital through a secret passage early in the morning, then left the city in the carriage prepared for her by Fuzi, waiting on the road that the marriage team must pass.
The twelfth prince Yinzhen saw a carriage in front of him from a distance. Thinking of what his elder brother had told him last night, he slowed down the speed of the convoy.
"Wangchuan, go and see if the carriage in front is my fourth sister-in-law?"
"My lady, is someone coming?"
Su He was so sleepy that he kept nodding his head in the carriage. When he heard Xiao Yingzi's voice, he parted the curtain, took out a telescope, and looked outside.
"Why is it the Twelveth Master who is sending the bride? It's all over~"
"Your Majesty, the emperor sent Prince Duololu to escort the princess to a marriage. His status is indeed a bit low, but it's not the end of the matter. After all, aren't we marrying the princess to him?"
Xiao Yingzi looked at his master's anxious face and felt a little puzzled.
"What? Most of the people in this wedding procession don't know me. Originally, if I had paid a little money, no one would have known that I was here to deliver Chaogui. But now that the twelfth prince is here, how can I still hide?"
"Master, you often go out through the secret passage. Isn't it a little late for you to know now?"
"That's different. Every time I went out before, no one knew my identity. I was just sneaking around."
"This time is different. I have been very honest since the New Year. I was planning to behave myself recently. Concubine Hua sent a letter saying that Hongshi will be back soon, and I have to go out to pick him up."
"It would be fine if I intercepted the wedding procession secretly and no one knew me, but the Twelfth Master knows me, so I am being blatant. What if the Emperor gets angry and doesn't let me go to pick up Hongshi?"
While the two were talking, Yinzhen had already arrived in front of the carriage.
"Meet Little Fourth Sister-in-law."
Su He looked a little embarrassed.
"Why doesn't Sister-in-law Xiao Si seem happy to see me?"
[What do you think? When did Fat Orange take this marriage so seriously that he sent a prince like you to escort the bride? Now you are sneaking out and got caught. ]
Only then did Yinzhen understand.
"Little Fourth Sister-in-law, my brother knows that you care about Chao Gui, so he specially asked me to take her to the wedding. If I meet you, I want you to give more advice and advice to Chao Gui."
"You mean you are just a tool?"
Yinzhen had never heard of the term "tool man", but he roughly understood the meaning of the term and nodded, "Yes."
[Speechless, did Fat Ju's brain go crazy after being blown up by fireworks during the Chinese New Year? I've never heard of letting the person who handles funerals take over weddings.]
Yinzhen listened and nodded. He also felt puzzled. He was chosen to marry? Aren't they afraid that the new Khan of Junggar and Chaogui would be offended?
Although he loves the funeral industry very much, most people in this world do not have such a high vision as he does.
"Little Fourth Sister, I'm going to stop the team right now, so hurry up."
"My lady, why are you here?"
Su He looked at Chao Gui with a complicated expression. If she had remembered this matter earlier, the girl would not have to go to that place to suffer.
"I'll see you off."
Chao Gui saw the apology on Su He's face, "Your Majesty, Chao Gui thanks you for allowing me to avoid the humiliation of becoming a concubine of your successor. I am a princess of the Qing Dynasty, and I do not regret my choice."
Su He looked at Chao Gui's determined gaze, put away the messy thoughts in his mind, took out a large package and two large wooden boxes.
"This package contains many good ideas to help the people of Junggar. You must master these things in your own hands, and then you can gain a foothold in Junggar."
"It contains a lot of information about grazing, breeding, planting, cultural politics, environment, tourism, etc. You can read it carefully when you have time."
"In the big wooden box are seeds, saplings and some crops. I have also written down how to preserve the things along the way. They are in this package."
"If the new Khan is someone you can trust, that's fine. If not, don't be afraid. The Qing will always be your backer."
Su He felt a little guilty when she said the last sentence. After all, the Qing Dynasty was not hers, and she did not have the final say. But she believed that one day the Qing Dynasty would be able to dominate the world.
"Princess, please don't cry. Your makeup will be ruined if you cry."
Chao Gui ignored him and took out the booklets one by one and started flipping through them.
Wool processing methods, pasture protection, development of tourism experience projects, the history of Junggar, the situation of each tribe, types and methods of fruits, vegetables and staple foods suitable for planting, etc.
At the bottom of the package there was a wooden box filled with various porcelain bottles with labels, which looked like various medicines.
As Chao Gui looked, his vision blurred again.
Zhizhi and Yeye, who were following beside the princess, saw that she was crying even harder, but there was nothing they could do.
However, a nanny next to her patiently said, "Cry, cry. After so many days, you finally have a chance to cry your heart out."
