Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 2057 - 486: Zhang Sanfeng’s Gift

The decrees were issued and quickly spread throughout the Jiangnan Region. The Commandery Princess’s grand wedding was a major event, and countless people were working hard for it.

At this moment, in Huangzhou Prefecture.

Chen Jie had also returned for a day or two. During these two days, he first spent a day at home with his two wives, and spent the remaining day arranging matters related to welcoming the Commandery Princess.

The first task was to determine the route for the Commandery Princess’s entry into the territory of Huangzhou Prefecture. They would enter Huangzhou Prefecture from Jiujiang Prefecture, thus they would enter from Xianning Prefecture.

So Chen Jie organized a series of welcoming arrangements along the way, even spending a fortune to ensure that all the streets and villages along the Ruyang King’s path to Huangzhou Prefecture were adorned with bright red lanterns.

This expenditure was covered by Chen Jie’s City Lord Mansion.

Then internally within Huangzhou Prefecture, the main streets were decorated with lanterns and streamers, and a ceremonial guard was selected to carry out the task of receiving the bride. After that, there was a whole security protocol to be ensured.

Additionally, there was the banquet invitation, where all the banquets would use the freshest ingredients. For this, Huangzhou Prefecture even specially sent people to the coastal areas to collect seafood, using ice transportation methods to bring it into Hubei. Just this one item cost no less than ten thousand taels of silver.

One could say it was quite extravagant.

Of course, this amount of money didn’t mean much to Chen Jie’s City Lord Mansion. For this grand wedding, Su Yunjin directly took out ten thousand taels of silver from the shares Chen Jie had given her to support the wedding.

Even Huang Wan’er pouted and took out fifty thousand taels of silver.

However, our Mrs. Huang spoke sarcastically: "We can’t compare to the Commandery Princess; her betrothal gift is a million a year. My annual income is only 150,000 to 160,000 taels, which can’t compare to the Commandery Princess, nor am I as favored by my husband as she is, so I can only take out fifty thousand taels."

Seeing Huang Wan’er sulking and feeling jealous, Chen Jie could only use the most primal method to make her satisfied.

That was to stay in her room for one night, and by the next day, Huang Wan’er couldn’t get out of bed until the afternoon, and even then she was walking with a limp, and her gaze towards Chen Jie was always fearful.

However, when Chen Jie asked if she was subdued,

she still refused to give in, showing an attitude of preferring death to submission.

Seeing her like this, it was Mrs. Su who felt sorry for her Sister Huang, actively stopping Chen Jie and fighting a battle for her Sister Huang. After the battle, Su Yunjin looked at Chen Jie reproachfully and said, "Husband is so energetic that we really need the Commandery Princess to come and share the burden with us sisters; otherwise, we can’t satisfy you."

Huang Wan’er felt quite defiant upon hearing this and said, "Humph, I, I can still go on."

Chen Jie looked at her smilingly and said, "Really can you?"

Huang Wan’er immediately said, "Let me rest for a few days, and I can!"

Having settled the affairs with his two wives, the rest of the matters were easier—just needed to arrange the necessary details properly.

And during this process, Chen Jie had one most important task, which was to invite people.

Chen Jie wrote invitations overnight and then sent people to deliver invitations all over the Southern Territory and North Sea.

The first ones were his four brothers: eldest brother Liu Futong, second brother Peng Yingyu, third brother Fang Guozhen, and lastly his Brother Ni from the neighboring state mansion.

Although Chen Jie was quite familiar with Ni Wenjun, he still had to carefully write an invitation, showing the minimum respect.

Having completed these, Chen Jie also wrote letters to some acquainted people, such as Saintess Linglong of the Five Poison Sect, Feng Hongyuan of Wushan, Song Yuanqiao and Zhang CuiShan of the Wudang Sect, Master Jue Mie of Emei, Master Kong Wen of Shaolin, and so on.

Chen Jie even sent an invitation to Zhu Yuanzhang of the Red Turban Army.

Counting all, a dozen or so invitations were sent out directly, and Chen Jie thought there should be no omissions.

As for other people, Chen Jie didn’t need to write invitations for them; after all, Chen Jie now held the status of a dominant figure, and many were no longer worthy of Chen Jie personally writing letters.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie was already fully prepared.

And the entire Huangzhou Prefecture was all immersed in a festive atmosphere, after all, our City Lord was marrying none other than the daughter of the formidable Ruyang King in Jiangnan.

For a time, not to mention the entire Jiangnan Region, even the Imperial City was shaken.

Upon learning the news, the Emperor threw several precious porcelains in secret but showed no signs of punishing anyone.

This was blatantly making a cuckold of himself. The Emperor was so angry that he could only issue a decree for Old Hama to select two hundred young women from the Northern area to be sent to the Imperial Palace to slightly alleviate his anger.

At this time, Old Hama presented a memorial from the Ruyang King.

The content was: This old minister uses his daughter as a bargaining chip to finally recover Chen Jiusi, the overlord of Huangzhou Prefecture, back to the court’s heart!

Goodness, as soon as this memorial arrived, the Emperor inexplicably felt, for the sake of this land, sacrificing his beloved, bearing humiliation—the illusion of being a wise monarch.

After all, whom Chen Jiusi was marrying was none other than his Empress!

The Emperor was moved by himself; Chen Jie naturally didn’t know. Yet, the Emperor was not only moved by himself, but he also planned to showcase his willingness to embrace talents from all over.

...

Thus, everyone was preparing, and countless discussions were revolving around this news that was enough to shake the world.

At this time, Chen Jie’s invitations were swiftly delivered to the hands of their intended recipients.

Currently, at Bright Peak.

A messenger hurriedly ran up Bright Peak, which at this time was in the process of rebuilding, with Liu Futong reviewing memorials, while the Little Ming King had completely given up, using the excuse of being harmed at the Great Capital to refuse dealing with matters related to the Zoroastrian Sect.
