Chapter 667: The Grand Princess of Chang'an got married, her red makeup filled the city, and he
The Grand Princess Chang'an will soon reach the age of marriage.
On the day of her coming of age, she got married.
The princess in red got married from the palace, not from the Ninth Prince's mansion.
Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining had known about this for a long time, so they didn't prepare anything for the princess in their palace, nor did they decorate the place with lights and decorations. They just made simple arrangements.
Anyway, they all knew that the emperor and the empress liked Zhaojia so much that they would definitely let Zhaojia marry out of the palace.
Moreover, when she gets married from the palace, she will be decked out in red, with a phoenix coronet and a bridal robe, which will attract a lot of attention.
Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining also prepared a sufficient dowry for Zhao Jia.
But they were wrong, it was not Ten Miles of Red Makeup, but Hundred Miles of Red Makeup.
When the King of Loulan brought the betrothal gifts over, they immediately occupied half of the entire capital.
The dowry that the emperor, the empress, Chen Zhining and Jiang Zhao prepared for Zhao Jia, after being carried out, directly occupied the other half of the entire Chang'an City.
The entire city of Chang'an was flooded with red dowries and betrothal gifts.
Even the historians were stunned when they saw this scene, and they quickly recorded it in the history books.
This is extremely rare in thousands of years. This princess... is truly loved.
Looking at this scene of endless red makeup, everyone was very happy, especially Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining.
Chen Zhining felt empty inside, lying in Jiang Zhao's arms and crying: "Zhaojia is my eldest child, the first daughter I gave birth to..."
"I didn't expect to stay in the Buddhist temple for so long these years, and I'm going to get married as soon as I come back, ah."
"Actually, you don't have to be so unhappy. Don't cry." Jiang Zhao coaxed Chen Zhining helplessly, "Didn't the King of Loulan say that if the princess misses home, she can come and visit anytime."
"Besides, the princess may not be used to it since she just got married there. You and I can go with her and take a stroll around Loulan."
"What you said does make sense, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will ascend the throne soon, so we'll have to wait a while before we can go to Loulan for a stroll."
"We still have to wait for a month or two after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, and then we can go to Loulan."
The reason why they went so late was because they were afraid that the prince had something to tell Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining in Zhou and Song.
If Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining are not here at this time, how can they help the prince stabilize his rule?
Compared with their beloved daughter, the stability of this kingdom...is more important.
You are in a high position, enjoying the best food and wealth in the world, and being supported by people from all directions, so you cannot be selfish.
Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining looked at each other. Their eyes were filled with relief as they looked at the King of Loulan and the Grand Princess of Chang'an who were slowly walking towards them from the Golden Throne Hall.
At this moment, the entire Golden Throne Hall has been decorated with gold and jade, and red silk is fluttering everywhere.
The Grand Princess of Chang'an had a red veil on her head, and the red cloth seemed to be decorated with golden jewels. Through the somewhat transparent red cloth, one could see that she was wearing a lot of jewels, and the long tassels even hung down to her shoulders.
Seeing her dressed so gorgeously, the King of Loulan was very happy.
The King of Loulan took Zhaojia's hand through the red veil and whispered to her: "Zhaojia, I am here to marry you."
In his life, he finally married Zhao Jia.
The King of Loulan wore a relic on his waist, which was placed in a red brocade bag.
The Grand Princess of Chang'an also wore a relic around her waist.
The two of them looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
Although separated by a red cloth, they could feel each other's sincere gazes.
The emperor and the empress sat at the top, their eyes were swollen from crying, they didn't sleep much the whole night.
They were really reluctant to let go. This King of Loulan...actually abducted their lovely Princess Chang'an so quickly.
The Grand Princess Pingnan stood beside the emperor and the empress. Just after the Grand Princess Pingnan performed the coming-of-age ceremony for Zhao Jia, the King of Loulan hurriedly welcomed Zhao Jia back to Loulan.
Oh my god, it makes me angry just thinking about it.
Princess Pingnan frowned, but soon relaxed her brows.
Although they were reluctant to give up the child, the child now had a good home and it was quite good for her to marry the King of Loulan.
It will be fine as long as the King of Loulan treats Zhao Jia well.
The emperor waved his hand, and Li Haitang, wearing a bright red robe, shouted joyfully, "Bow to heaven and earth!"
"Two thanks to the high hall!"
"Husband and wife bow to each other."
The part of sending her to the bridal chamber is changed to——
"Princess - Return to Loulan with gifts!"
In an instant, Jiang Zhao, Chen Zhining, the emperor, the empress, the empress dowager, the prince, and the children all had red eyes.
Chen Zhining and Jiang Zhao rushed forward, holding the hands of the Grand Princess Chang'an and refusing to let go: "Zhao Jia, Zhao Jia... After you leave, I'm afraid we won't be able to see each other again for a long time."
"But it doesn't matter. Dad and Mom will go to Loulan to see you."
"Father, Mother..." Princess Chang'an was already crying heavily under her red veil.
Although he had made preparations long before, knowing that when he went to Loulan, he might not see Jiang Zhao, Chen Zhining, the emperor, the empress, the queen mother, the prince, the princess, and his own brothers and sisters for a very long time.
But now that she was really going to Loulan, the eldest princess couldn't describe how she felt. She felt empty in her heart, and she would no longer have anyone to back her up.
She really wanted to have a backup.
Seeing Princess Chang'an crying uncontrollably, Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining hurriedly comforted her: "Don't worry, we will definitely go to see you. You are the apple of your parents' eyes. They will definitely protect you... They love you the most."
Princess Chang'an nodded quickly and said to them, "My daughter is unfilial."
"I'm afraid my daughter won't be able to fulfill her filial duties by your side."
The King of Loulan sighed and said to Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining, "Father, mother, you don't have to worry. Our Silk Road will be opened in the future, and Yongzhou has been made the fief of the Grand Princess of Chang'an."
"If Princess Chang'an is willing, we can build a princess's mansion between Loulan and Yongzhou. In this way, wouldn't we be able to see Princess Chang'an all the time?"
"..."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining looked at each other and thought that the King of Loulan was joking.
Build a princess's palace between Loulan and Yongzhou?
Although Loulan and Zhou and Song had already formed a friendly relationship, how could they really build a princess's palace between the two countries?
What if Loulan disagrees?
Anyway, Zhou and Song should have agreed, and it was Loulan that suffered the loss.
If Loulan felt that she was at a disadvantage in such a matter, she might really disagree.
Besides, he is so young now, how can he go against everyone's opinion and build a princess's mansion? Isn't that nonsense?
Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining sighed in their hearts, but they looked very grateful: "Thank you, King Loulan... for thinking about my daughter all the time."
"My daughter has always been spoiled by us, and she has traveled all the way from Kyoto to Loulan. If she is inconsiderate in any way, please do not scold her."
"If you have any dissatisfaction, send us a letter and we will naturally go over to help her deal with it."
The Grand Princess Chang'an was intelligent, gentle and polite, so there shouldn't be anything wrong with her. However, Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining still felt uncomfortable and kept giving them instructions.
Jiang Pingan nodded, with a smile on his face: "The princess married to my Loulan, so naturally my Loulan will tolerate the princess."
"Zhou and Song were superior states, and Loulan was an inferior state."
"Although Loulan has now unified the entire Western Region, it is still different after all."
"We in Loulan will definitely respect the Grand Princess Chang'an."
"If the Grand Princess of Chang'an is a little bit unruly and domineering, that doesn't matter."
Hearing Jiang Ping'an's shocking words, Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining nodded with twitching lips.
However, although the princess married to Loulan, Jiang Pingan... was a love-brained man. Since he was a love-brained man, they felt relieved.
They all looked at the little princess with some worry. The eldest Princess Chang'an lowered her head a little embarrassedly, looking a little shy.
I didn't expect Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining to say that. Then I heard Chen Zhining whisper, "Your Highness Ping'an must be very fond of my daughter at this moment, but Your Highness Ping'an, the love between men and women is nothing more than a vow made one day, and I will never part with you until the mountains are gone. The next day, you may never have any contact with each other again."
"If one day, His Highness Ping An breaks off completely with our Grand Princess Chang'an and is no longer as passionately in love as he is now, then if you are unhappy with being with Grand Princess Chang'an, you should not bully her, and you should not live with her..."
"Just write us a letter, and we will naturally bring Princess Chang'an back to my Zhou Song."
"No matter what time, my Zhou Song is the princess's home."
"!!!"
Hearing this, Princess Chang'an burst into tears.
In the secular world, Chen Zhining could say such words and was even willing to support Princess Chang'an forever. Even if Princess Chang'an and Jiang Ping'an had a bad life and divorced, he was willing to do so.
This is enough to show how much Chen Zhining loves his daughter.
Princess Chang'an knelt on the ground and cried bitterly to Chen Zhining: "But mother, if I reach that point...I will be a sinner. I have destroyed the marriage and harmony between Zhou, Song and Loulan."
"I am a princess who is married to a foreign king."
"Although on the surface, Jiang Ping'an and I got married because we loved each other, in fact, my marriage to Loulan directly bound Zhou Song and Loulan together for a hundred years. Chen Zhining said so, if Zhou Song and Loulan started a war at that time, what should I do?"
Upon hearing the word "marriage alliance", the emperor could no longer sit still.
The emperor immediately stood up from the dragon throne, and regardless of the dissuasion of the ministers beside him, he ran directly to the side of Princess Chang'an, hugged her and cried bitterly.
"My poor granddaughter, what are you talking about... You are just a little girl, what do you mean by marriage or not? Does peace between Zhou Song and Loulan need a princess like you to sacrifice?!"
"Do we still need a princess like you to protect the people?!"
"Could it be that I, the emperor, the crown prince, and your father are dead?!"
"Even if it really comes to that, how can Zhou Song be defeated? Do you think... that we are not capable enough?"
Hearing this, Princess Chang'an quickly shook her head.
The emperor hugged the little princess and cried bitterly, saying, "I have always loved Zhaojia the most. Zhaojia, do you remember when you were little...you came to my imperial study to pull the emperor's grandfather's beard and steal his private money."
As he spoke, the emperor cried and laughed, "Grandfather has always known this, but Grandfather loves our little Zhaojia the most. Grandfather is willing to do anything our little Zhaojia does."
"......Grandfather loves you the most. No matter what, he will never let you bear such a heavy burden. The marriage is all bullshit!!"
"We Loulan and Zhou Song can get along if we can, but if we can't, if all the burdens are put on you, then what's the point of me being the emperor?"
"Grandfather really feels ashamed to death...Grandfather will not let little Zhaojia be sad."
"When my royal grandfather gave you the name Chang'an Grand Princess, he hoped that you would live a long, peaceful and happy life."
The emperor touched Zhaojia's little head.
At this time, the ministers around couldn't help but sigh.
It is said that the royal family is cold and indifferent. The emperor is indeed not very kind to his sons, but he is really good to his granddaughters. They all love the eldest princess very much.
The emperor ordered in front of everyone: "The fiefdom of Yongzhou will be given to our little Zhaojia from now on."
"Zhao Jia, remember, Yongzhou is your fiefdom. If the King of Loulan treats you badly one day, you must come back immediately!"
"And the fiefdom of Yongzhou... you can also mobilize the 100,000 troops of your maternal grandfather. If he treats you badly, you can directly command the 100,000 troops of Yongzhou and let them attack Loulan."
After hearing this, the Loulan envoys were almost speechless.
But now they can understand the emperor. He really likes Zhao Jia and is willing to give the military power directly to the princess.
Is there any princess in this world who holds military power?
Even though she was the emperor's biological daughter and the only legitimate princess, Princess Pingnan did not have such an honor.
Everyone looked at the emperor in shock.
Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining were completely relieved when they heard what the emperor said.
If the power of these 100,000 troops was given to Zhao Jia, it would indeed be a talisman and no one would dare to touch Zhao Jia.
Even if the King of Loulan no longer liked Zhao Jia one day, he would not dare to do anything to Zhao Jia and had to send Zhao Jia back in an orderly manner.
