No one would have thought that the least favored Sixth Prince would be the first to be crowned as King, and his title was King of Jin. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he would be the first prince with a noble status.
Damn it, a sickly palace maid, how could he be so lucky? At this moment, the princes were all jealous.
Although it was only a matter of time before they were crowned kings, it was very unpleasant that the Sixth Man was crowned king before them.
After being crowned a king, one will have his own fiefdom, and even if he doesn’t want to stay in the imperial capital anymore, he can return to his fiefdom to live.
Not only were the princes jealous, but the ministers were also jealous. And those children of the noble families who had always looked down on him felt humiliated.
However, in this kind of situation, even if they had some thoughts in their minds, they did not dare to express any opinions.
Everyone present congratulated the emperor.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, His Majesty."
The emperor waved his hand in a good mood.
"Haha, good, congratulations, my dear ministers."
The emperor's smile was not fake. Jiang Xianyun was a rare military talent. He valued talent, and now that she had become his daughter-in-law, they were a family.
"Come on, continue playing music, continue dancing..."
This night.
The sound of ritual music lasted for a long time.
The emperor drank until he was dizzy, then he got up and left hand in hand with the queen.
Seeing the emperor leave, everyone present stood up and bowed.
"Farewell, Your Majesty, and Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor, and long live Your Majesty."
The emperor is gone.
It's time to end the banquet.
Jiang Xianyun put his hand on his forehead.
She is feeling a little dizzy now.
"Let's go too."
Pei Jingheng smiled faintly and extended his hand to her.
"I'll help you if you drink."
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Your Majesty."
The two of them are now married by the emperor's arrangement and are a legitimate engaged couple, so it is normal for them to be closer.
The imperial decree had been issued, and the marriage of the two had been decided. The next step was to choose an auspicious date to get married. So the two could cultivate their relationship openly.
Before leaving.
Officials both known and unknown came forward to congratulate him.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Marquis Zhenbei."
"Congratulations, His Royal Highness Prince Jin, and congratulations, Princess."
"Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the Marquis of Zhenbei."
Jiang Xianyun nodded slightly and bowed in return.
"Congratulations, all gentlemen."
Pei Jingheng nodded calmly and said, "I am happy for you. When I get married, I hope you will all come and have a drink at my wedding."
"Of course."
"I'll definitely come, I'll definitely come."
Pei Jingheng looked at the flattering expressions of the people in front of him and sighed in his heart. The speed at which their expressions changed was really faster than turning the pages of a book.
"Congratulations, Sixth Brother."
Saw someone coming.
Pei Jingheng bowed.
"Second Emperor Brother."
"Sixth brother, congratulations."
"Happy together."
"You have been in poor health since childhood. It just so happens that my family got two precious herbs a few days ago. I will send them to you one day."
Pei Jingheng looked innocent.
"How can I trouble you, Fourth Brother? Since it is a treasure, it must be hard to find. You should keep it, as it will be useful in the future."
Pei Jingxin's face turned dark.
This old man thought that everyone would have a short life like him.
Without waiting for the Fourth Prince to speak.
Jiang Xianyun also nodded.
"It is indeed necessary. The Fourth Prince has dark eyes and weak feet. It seems that he has been working hard. He should take care of his health in the future." Several princes nearby could not help laughing when they heard it.
"Pfft, Fourth Brother is indeed very overworked. I think the Sixth Emperor is in poor health and needs to be taken care of. You also need to take care of yourself."
Jiang Xianyun looked puzzled.
"Did I say something wrong? Isn't it that the Fourth Prince is too busy with official duties and has lost his health? Then... Hug..."
The fourth prince laughed dryly.
"Haha, yes, I've been very busy with official duties recently, unlike my seventh brother who has all the free time."
KO the fourth prince.
The Seventh Prince opened his folding fan and shook it twice before speaking, "Sixth Brother, I envy you very much. Although your mother was only a maid, she gave you a beautiful face. And now you have been named the Prince of Jin. Congratulations."
Pei Jingheng seemed not to understand the meaning of his words, and said calmly, "That's right, my mother is extremely beautiful, and I am just lucky that she looks a bit like me."
In other words.
Only his extremely beautiful mother could give birth to a son with such appearance.
The Seventh Prince was furious.
This Sixth Elder must have a hidden agenda, he must be saying that his mother is plain looking. It is true, his mother, Concubine Xian, although one of the four concubines, is plain looking. She is favored only because of her family background.
What are you proud of?
A gigolo.
Isn't it just being crowned king?
But in the long run, being crowned a king would mean he would have no chance of becoming emperor. Thinking of this, he felt a little more balanced.
Now the sixth brother's status is different. The princess he is about to marry is the world-famous Marquis of Zhenbei, and he has hundreds of thousands of troops behind him. So if he wants to compete for that position, he must first win over the sixth brother.
However, he felt very uncomfortable when he thought about trying to please a sickly person whom he once despised.
"Sixth Brother, it's getting late, let's go together! It's on the way too."
Pei Jingheng: "I'm afraid that my seventh brother has misremembered us. We are in the east and west of the city, and it seems that we are not on the same route. It's getting late today, so we should go back first.
"Xiaoyun, let's go."
Jiang Xianyun didn't bother to pay attention to these people. He looked drunk and nodded slightly.
"Ah."
She responded.
And walked out hand in hand with him.
Out of the palace.
"I'll take you back."
"Okay."
"The carriage is over there."
As he spoke, he led her to his carriage.
Nanfeng, who was waiting in front of the carriage, stepped forward immediately when he saw Pei Jingheng coming.
"Meet the master, meet the general."
As for the name, it doesn't matter what you call it.
She is also the general, the marquis, and now she has the additional title of princess.
Pei Jingheng: "Get in the car first."
Nan Feng walked to the front of the carriage, took a stool and put it on the ground. The two stepped on the stool and entered the carriage one after the other.
When the car curtain fell, Jiang Xianyun felt her waist tighten, and she sat on Pei Jingheng's lap, held in his arms.
He hugged her from behind and leaned his whole body against her. "I wanted to hug you like this at the palace banquet."
At the same time, the carriage slowly drove away. It was night time now, and the lanterns hanging along the way made the streets in the city look bright.
The breeze blew up the carriage curtains, and with the light from outside, I could vaguely see inside the carriage, but it was quite dark.
He glanced down at the hands on his waist.
She was stunned for a moment, then sat on his lap, turned around and put her arm around his neck. Without being disturbed by outsiders, it would be nice to get close to her young husband.
She stroked the side of his neck with her fingers, leaned in close to him and said, "Really? Brother is so clingy."
Pei Jingheng's breathing quickened slightly, and his eyes turned dark as he looked at her.
"Xiaoyun doesn't like it?"
Jiang Xianyun smiled.
"I like it. I like it more if you behave better."
"You... um..."
