My bedroom is connected to ancient times, I am in love with the prince

Chapter 156: General of the Cavalry x Princess of Hengyang

No!

He couldn't wait even half a month, let alone a year! !

He immediately stood up and knelt, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace. However, my mother sent me a letter a while ago. In the letter, she said that when she learned that I was about to return to the capital, she had someone reschedule the wedding date for me and Princess Minhui. Now the date has been set, and it will be in half a month."

"I am grateful for Your Majesty's grace, but if the Ministry of Rites is asked to complete the wedding preparations within two weeks, I am afraid everyone in the Ministry will have to work day and night, without sleep. I really cannot bear it, so I would like to ask Your Majesty to revoke your order. I thank Your Majesty for your kindness to me and Princess Minhui."

When these words were spoken, everyone had different expressions, some were shocked, some were confused, and some were gloating.

The emperor personally issued an edict, ordering the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the wedding. Princess Minhui was to marry as a princess. This was such a great honor, but Xie Beiheng actually refused?

Li Chenghe was also slightly stunned, but he was not surprised that Xie Beiheng refused, but that the wedding date was half a month later.

I just returned to Beijing...

This is... too hasty!!!

What's the point of not being able to bear seeing the Minister of Rites working day and night? From what he saw, it was clear that this guy couldn't wait to get married.

Thinking of this, Li Chenghe couldn't help but curl his lips, "Since that's the case, I will withdraw my order."

As soon as the words fell, some people present were already laughing secretly in their hearts.

It’s a pie falling from the sky, but some people don’t want it!

Unexpectedly, before I could enjoy the secret joy for a moment, I heard Li Chenghe say again:

"However, this time Princess Minhui has made a great contribution by donating grain, and meritorious service naturally deserves a reward. Therefore... she is specially granted Hengyang County as her fiefdom, and is canonized as the Chief Princess of Hengyang from today!"

!!!

This time, everyone was truly dumbfounded. What exactly was Hengyang County? Less than two hundred miles from the capital, it was the richest fiefdom in Dayue outside of the capital.

This happened two or three times in a row, and everyone finally understood that the emperor wanted to favor this couple. Even if there was no reward, there would be one!

Forget it, forget it, I’m so jealous!

The previous emperor had been on the throne for thirty years, with constant wars and suffering for the people. But as soon as the emperor ascended the throne, he pacified the northern barbarians, his power spread throughout the world, and he made Dayue the leader of the Three Kingdoms.

Everyone present knew that this was all thanks to the father and son of the Marquis of Zhenbei and Princess Minhui. Alas, such a great achievement was indeed something they could not achieve in their lifetime.

In fact, if they knew that it was Xie Beiheng who helped Li Chenghe dethrone the deposed crown prince, they would probably be more convinced now.

Xie Beiheng was not thinking about these things. He was kneeling on the ground at this moment, with shock and grief in his heart.

Li Chenghe actually gave Hengyang County to Xiangxiang as a fiefdom?

Hengyang County is less than 200 miles away from the capital, and the Zhenbei Marquisate holds military power, commanding 200,000 soldiers. If the Xie family truly harbors ulterior motives...

Xie Beiheng looked up and met Li Chenghe's calm gaze.

He...really trusts the Xie family that much???

When the previous emperor was in power, he was always wary and suspicious of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. He and his father had always been cautious and treading on thin ice.

now……

Thinking of this, Xie Beiheng's heart was burning and his blood was boiling.

The greatest fortune in a loyal minister's life is to meet a wise ruler.

Xie Beiheng immediately kowtowed solemnly, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your great grace. I am willing to serve the Emperor and Dayue with all my heart and soul, until my death."

Li Chenghe smiled and said, "General, please stand up!"

……

Zhenbeihou Mansion.

Lin Xiangxiang had been waiting for Xie Beiheng to come back since morning, but later she found out that Xie Beiheng was going to attend a celebration banquet.

Okay, let’s keep waiting!

But it’s almost ten o’clock now, and he still hasn’t come back!

I remember the generals at the celebration banquet on TV, with a singer on their left hand and a dancer on their right hand.

The orioles are singing and the swallows are dancing, the wine ponds and meat forests are making me happy and reluctant to miss Sichuan!

Lin Xiangxiang stood up quickly, "He dares!"

Seventeen and Cuihe were both startled by her sudden action, "Princess?"

Lin Xiangxiang curled her lips, her voice a little resentful, "Why hasn't Xie Beiheng come back yet? Will the celebration party take so long?"

Although Xie Beiheng returned to Beijing early, today is an important day for the Zhenbei Army and for him. He wanted to give him a gift and celebrate with him.

Finally, this guy!!!

Hearing this, Seventeen's cold and beautiful face paused slightly. After a moment's thought, she said seriously, "Princess, according to the past, the celebration banquet usually ends at midnight, but the prince always returns home before midnight!"

"So, the prince is back late today!"

Hearing this, Lin Xiangxiang's eyes suddenly widened and she put her hands on her waist.

"Okay, I knew it. You must be reluctant to come back!"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She immediately strode out, "Stinky man, if I had known earlier I wouldn't have waited for him. Wouldn't it be better for me to go back and sleep?"

After saying that, he walked out of the room and headed towards the study angrily.

However, when I walked straight to the yard, I suddenly remembered that the time of travel had passed and I couldn’t go back!

"Depend on!!!"

He immediately waved his hand and said, "Return to the Princess's Mansion!"

Damn it, I haven’t even gotten married yet and I’m already using my “mother’s family”.

The two followed behind. When Cui He heard this, her face was panicked and she said hurriedly: "Princess, Princess, please wait a little longer. The prince... the prince may not know that you are waiting for him. He must have been delayed and didn't come back earlier."

Lin Xiangxiang suddenly stopped and stood there in a daze!

"what?"

It seemed... I didn't tell him that I was waiting for him in the Marquis' Mansion.

But didn’t Seventeen say that he always came back early before?

Just as I was thinking this, I saw Xu Chong supporting someone and staggering in from the courtyard gate.

Xu Chong was also surprised to see them. His eyes first fell on Seventeen's face, but he quickly turned his face away and didn't look at him.

Then he looked at Lin Xiangxiang and asked in surprise: "Miss, why are you here?"

As soon as the words fell, the drunken man who was originally supported by Xu Chong suddenly opened his eyes, "Xiangxiang? Where is Xiangxiang? Where is Xiangxiang?"

Seeing this, Lin Xiangxiang was no longer angry.

"Why did you drink so much? Was it like this at previous celebration parties?" As he said this, he hurried forward to support the man.

When Xie Beiheng saw the person in front of him, his eyes lit up and he leaned forward, "Xiangxiang, it's really Xiangxiang, are you waiting for me?"

"I'm sorry, Xiangxiang, I didn't know you were waiting for me. If I had known, I would have come back earlier."

"Xiangxiang, I'm just so happy!"

"Xiangxiang, you can finally marry me with peace of mind!"

Lin Xiangxiang was about to be crushed to death by him. She gritted her teeth and said, "Go in first. If you have anything to say, go in and talk later!"

Then, he and Xu Chong helped the man into the room and laid him on the bed.

However, just as he lay down, this man suddenly sat up again and took Lin Xiangxiang's hand.

"Xiangxiang, don't go!"

Lin Xiangxiang didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, "I won't leave."

After saying that, he turned to Xu Chong and said, "You go down and rest first!"

Then, he asked Cuihe to cook some sobering soup and asked Shiqi to get some hot water.
