Yuan Lao Shangshu saw that the officials were talking a lot, and seemed to have a little confidence, and said to Sima Changshen: “Honor of loyalty, this…it seems that something is wrong.”
Sima Changshen glanced at Qi Ning, and suddenly smiled: “Old Shangshu doesn’t know something, this is not what our Sima family means. To obey the national etiquette is the duty of a courtier. How dare we overstep it?” “To be honest, this is the meaning of the queen mother. It is the queen mother’s special order that we prepare a jade carriage and send the little girl into the palace. How dare we disobey the queen mother’s will?”
When the ministers heard this, their voices suddenly became quieter.
Sima Changshen said proudly: “Old Shangshu, the emperor’s wedding is a matter of state, but it is also a matter of the harem. The queen mother is in charge of the harem, sympathetic to the loyalty of the Sima family to the imperial court, and gave a special decree. It is not the queen mother’s fault. right?”
Yuan Lao Shangshu frowned slightly, but Qi Ning said with a smile: “What the Hou Zhongyi said is true. The Queen Mother is in charge of the harem, and the affairs of the harem are naturally hard to say about the ministers of the previous dynasty. What kind of grace does the Queen Mother have for the Sima family? That’s not something we foreign ministers can ask.”
Sima Changshen put his hands on his back and sneered, “It’s rare that Jin Yihou still understands this truth.”
“I understand this truth, and of course the Hou Zhongyi also understands another truth, that is, the harem should not be involved in politics.” Qi Ning said with a smile: “The Hou Zhongyi said, the emperor’s wedding is both a state affair and a harem affair. In addition, it is state affairs, and state affairs must be handled in accordance with the country’s legal and ritual system, and when they arrive in the harem, they must follow the rules of the harem.”
Sima Changshen frowned and said, “What do you mean?”
“The meaning is very simple. Even if the queen mother has a special decree, your loyal and righteous waiter can come up with the will, but the country’s ritual system is the ritual system, and no one can violate it.” Qi Ning said lightly: “Could it be that the Minister of Punishment is because of Being in charge of the Ministry of Punishment, can you violate the country’s criminal name without authorization? The minister of the Ministry of Household can disregard the regulations and dispose of the country’s finances arbitrarily?”
When Qi Ning said this, all the ministers changed color slightly, and some people thought that this Jin Yihou was really bold, and the words turned out to be directly directed at the current Empress Dowager.
They didn’t know that, in Qi Ning’s heart, the one who could be trusted might be Longtai. As for the empress dowager, Qi Ning really didn’t pay attention to it. What’s more, Qi Ning knew that even Longtai was full of grievances towards the empress dowager. Don’t care to offend the so-called queen mother.
“You… bold!” Sima Changshen was also a little surprised. He thought that when he took out his trump card and brought out the queen mother, Qi Ning would retreat, but who knew that Qi Ning didn’t care, and said angrily: “Jinyi Wait, are you blaspheming the Queen Mother?”
“Whether I blasphemed the Queen Mother, everyone present can hear it clearly.” Qi Ning’s eyes were cold and he sneered: “I just said to follow the country’s etiquette, but I don’t know which sentence has blasphemed the Queen Mother? Come out and listen.”
Although Qi Ning’s tone was stern, but between the lines, there was really not a word to blaspheme the Queen Mother.
Sima Changshen was at a loss for words for a while, Qi Ning glanced at Yuan Lao Shangshu, and said seriously: “Old Shangshu, you are in charge of the Ministry of Rites, these words should not have been said by me.”
Yuan Lao Shang Shu pondered for a while, and finally bowed to Sima Lan: “Old Prince, this matter is really wrong, I don’t know…!”
Before he finished speaking, Sima Lan said coldly, “Sima Changshen, kneel down for this old man!”
His voice is not too loud, and his tone is not severe, but he has an aura of not being angry and arrogant. Sima Changshen was startled, looked at Sima Lan, and said, “Father…!”
“Kneel down!” Sima Lan shouted again coldly: “There is no father here, only the envoy of the wedding.”
Sima Changshen’s face turned red, but he didn’t dare to defy Sima Lan, so he had no choice but to kneel in front of Sima Lan.
“The old man asked you, who prepared this jade chariot?” Sima Lan said coldly: “The old man has been busy with other affairs recently and asked you to prepare for the marriage. That’s how you prepared it? You don’t understand the etiquette of the imperial court?”
“Father… No, Grandpa,
I…….!
”
“The country has the country’s ritual system, which is handed down from the ancestors, how can it be violated?” Sima Lan looked like he hated iron and not steel: “The Queen Mother Enlong, the decree, but you should also tell the Queen Mother, Refuse the Queen Mother’s kindness.” He raised his finger and pointed at the jade carriage, “As soon as I saw it, the old man knew that the etiquette system had been abolished, but Yuan Lao Shangshu is here, and in order to avoid suspicion, he won’t say anything more. Jinyi is waiting for some kindness and kindness. You remind, you are stubborn, you are really stupid, don’t hurry to change the sedan chair!”
Seeing it in their eyes, everyone was amused, thinking that without your consent from Duke Zhen Guo, Sima Changshen would have dared to violate the etiquette by eating the gall of a bear and a leopard.
Sima Changshen was disheartened, got up, and shouted loudly, “If you don’t let the jade carriage be carried away, what are you doing there? Prepare the sedan chair, carry… carry her into the palace!”
After a period of silence, someone finally came over and asked Sima Wanqiong to get off the carriage. Sima Wanqiong was obviously unwilling to get off the carriage, and even though the officials were present, she slightly lifted her red hood and looked over to Qi Ning. She glanced at it, and her eyes finally fell on Qi Ning, apparently guessing that it was Qi Ning who stopped her from riding the jade carriage.
Qi Ning carried his hands on his back, calm and composed, and also looked at Sima Wanqiong, vaguely seeing that Sima Wanqiong’s appearance was not bad, but the pair of malicious eyes were really uncomfortable.
A group of people quickly lifted the jade carriage away, and everyone from the Sima family looked ugly. Many people hated looking at Qi Ning, but Qi Ning was smiling and calm.
The ministers never expected such a scene to happen today. Many people secretly thought that the Jinyi Qi family and the Sima family had truly formed a life-and-death feud.
The rest of Dou Kui’s gang of Huainan kings were rather excited, thinking that this little prince was very brave, and he was not afraid of the power of the Sima family. In the future, there will be such a person in the court, and the Sima family wants to do whatever they want. Have scruples.
It’s just that the Sima family had been preparing the jade carriage from the very beginning. At this time, it was not easy to find the sedan chair temporarily. The Sima mansion was busy. Yuan Lao Shangshu looked up at the sky, and there was a hint of anxiety in his eyebrows.
Qi Ning approached Yuan Lao Shangshu and said in a low voice, “Old Shangshu, is there a time limit for the procedures of this big wedding?”
Yuan Lao Shang Shu sighed lightly: “Yes, each item has a fixed auspicious time, and logically speaking, it cannot be delayed.”
Qi Ning nodded slightly and said, “Your Majesty’s wedding is a state affair. If there is a mistake, it’s not a big deal for the old Shangshu to be convicted. If you lose the national prestige of my great Chu, it’s not a trivial matter.” Prince Duan Shao glanced at it and said in a low voice, “The prince of Dongqi is also here, and they don’t say anything. If it really delays the queen’s entry into the palace, I’m afraid that the whole of Dongqi will be dissatisfied. Let’s marry Dongqi. This is for the good of the alliance between the two countries, if the people of Qi people are dissatisfied because of the marriage, it will be counterproductive.”
Yuan Lao Shangshu nodded again and again, and said in a low voice, “What Marquis said is very true, and I am also worried about this.” He glanced at the Sima mansion, and said softly: “But you can’t leave the eldest lady of the Sima family, only Welcome the Queen into the palace.”
Qi Ning smiled and said nothing.
Because of the delay of the Sima family, although the honor guard remained motionless, the ministers were not arranged in an orderly manner as before, and those who were closer gathered together to whisper in a low voice.
Sima Changshen’s face was ashen. On the happy day, it was not like he was marrying a daughter, but someone owed him money and would not pay it back.
Suddenly I saw a man hurried out of the mansion, whispering a few words in Sima Changshen’s ear, Sima Changshen said angrily: “Look, keep looking, the dignified Sima mansion, still can’t find a sedan chair? If you can’t find it, give it to him immediately. I made it.”
Qi Ning squinted at him and said with a smile: “Honey and righteousness, the emperor’s wedding, the auspicious time is coming, is it possible for everyone to wait for you to start building the sedan chair now? We don’t care, if we miss the emperor’s auspicious time, Didn’t that hurt the old man?”
Sima Lan is the official ambassador of the wedding, and if he really wants to delay the auspicious time, the first person to take the blame is naturally Sima Lan.
The corners of Sima Changshen’s eyes twitched. Although Sima Mansion has a lot of carriages and sedan chairs, after all, there are no twelve people to carry the sedan chairs for big weddings. , even if you really want to borrow it, it is impossible to borrow it.
Even for officials and eunuchs, the highest etiquette for marriage can only be eight carrying a large sedan chair, unless the empress who entered the palace, ten large sedan chairs may appear, and the twelve carrying large sedan chairs requires a special decree in the palace. Not to mention ordinary people, even the palaces of princes and nobles, it is impossible to prepare twelve to carry a large sedan chair.
Yuan Lao Shangshu couldn’t help but said at this time: “Honor of loyalty, there is no delay in auspicious times, we should hurry up and think of something, we must return to the palace as soon as possible.

Sima Lan nodded slightly, and then said to Sima Changshen: “Don’t worry about it. There are many sedan chairs in the mansion, just pick a sedan chair and let someone carry it over. She hasn’t been canonized as an imperial concubine, and there aren’t that many. Pay attention.”
Sima Chang said anxiously, “Father… Guo Gong, it’s also a major event for our Sima family, how can…!”
“Today’s major event is the emperor’s marriage to the empress.” Sima Lan said coldly: “Other than that, there is no major event.” He looked up at the sky and said, “If it’s not ready for half a column of incense, Lao Shangshu , the team to welcome the relatives will set off immediately without delay.”
Yuan Lao Shang Shu knew that there was a bit of anger in Sima Lan’s words, and said cautiously: “Old Guo Gong, it’s not…don’t be in such a hurry, it’s time to board a stick of incense, and we’ll set off later. Go faster, it should be fine.”
“The old master treats people kindly.” Sima Lan said: “But everything can’t be messed up. Sima Changshen, you don’t have to prepare quickly. After half a column of incense, leave immediately, and no one needs to say more.”
Sima Changshen was helpless, glanced back at Qi Ning, and said, “Yes!”
