Chapter 53: The Day of the Wedding
The lord of the hill country got married, and as his close neighbor, Xifeng naturally came to congratulate him. And the lords of the small border towns scattered everywhere did not receive an invitation from the ink shop, but they also came. Some people want to see the lord of the hill country like a fairy, some just don't want to fall behind others, and some just want to join in the fun. The people of the foreign domain entered the hilly country, Liuzhu as the prime minister, as the left and right hand of the ink line, naturally had to help deal with many state affairs, and those foreign nobles and Tibetan people, who came to say goodbye, were to be hospitalized, and they were not allowed to be introduced into the palace and meet the emperor. Naturally, it is also the priority to pick up some important characters to enter the palace to face the saint, and today, the palace is really busy. The others were given to the local government to be entertained.
Yu Xuan was busy with state affairs all day, and since he couldn't go in person, he designated Lu Shui to go on his behalf. Lu Shui was overjoyed to learn that he was able to go to the Hill Country, and he was ready to leave a few days ago. I don't know who he heard from whom, he went to Ren's house to find Qingqing the day before and asked if he wanted to leave for the hills. Qingqing originally wanted to go back, firstly, the January deadline was approaching, and secondly, she was not used to staying here, and she also hoped to go back sooner. Master Ren felt that it was time for Qingqing to go back, so he agreed. was packing his things and preparing to leave, but he saw Lu Shui coming. As soon as they met, they asked about it, and they didn't know why, but they had to tell the truth. Lu Shui listened, stepped forward, looked at Qing Qing and said with a smile: "Okay, now I'm going to the Hill Country on the order of King Qi to give a gift for the wedding of the Lord of the Hill Country." So we can go all the way.
I don't want to have such a thing, and when I see his smiling face, it's hard to refuse. And when Master Ren heard this, he said: This is very good. Qingqing, I'm not at ease if you go all the way back, now that Lord Lu is with you, I don't think there will be anything wrong with you.
When Qingqing heard this, she couldn't say anything anymore, so she had to nod her head in response. Aoki knew that Qingqing was going back, so he prepared a lot of gifts for her to take back. And the day before the hill wedding, when the two set off, Aoki also came to see Qingqing in person.
Xifeng is not compared to those small border countries, the emperor's wedding ceremony will not be less, rare treasures, silk and satin, rich in many things, countless. The car winds for several miles from the front to the rear, and there are guards on both sides of the car. And so it went all the way. At the front was a team composed of some palace people and guards, just carrying a long flag marked with the unique logo of Xifeng, slipping a few bodies and walking in two. Lu Shui's carriage was placed behind it, and it was already the carriage at the top. Behind him was Qingqing's carriage, Qi Xuan was also in the carriage, and Ah Qi was sitting in front of him driving the carriage.
After walking for a while, Lu Shui stopped the convoy to rest without incident, and went to Qingqing's carriage by himself. When Qi Xuan saw her, he didn't like it, he didn't have a good face, Lu Shui didn't care, he only bothered Qingqing, which made people uneasy. Finally, evening came. After Lu Shui sent Qingqing back home, he was invited to the post station by the local government. Early in the morning of the next day's wedding, an official came to the door to meet him, and then he was led to see Liuzhu, and then he entered the palace gate, and handed over all the congratulatory gifts to the officials of the Ministry of Rites. Seeing Mo Xing, he had to give a gift to the king's courtiers, and Lu Shui said some congratulatory words. Mo Xing is the same as in the past, and the words are polite and polite, but there is no trace of joy on this happy day. When Lu Shui saw this scene, he thought of what he heard all the way, and knew in his heart that this emperor was as unique as their King of Qi.
The big wedding feast will have to wait until late. In the early days, Mo Xing saw people from all over the world who came to congratulate him. After that, it's the big show. The palace sedan chair came out of the palace gate according to the hour, and beat gongs and drums all the way to Zhang's mansion. The girls and grandmothers helped the young lady out and got into the sedan chair. Sixteen people carried a sedan chair occupied the entire road, and eight people in the front and back. There are palace people in front and back of the sedan chair, divided into two sides, all wearing red clothes, looking at the past, very good-looking. The sedan chair entered the palace gate, then changed to a delicate and luxurious eight-person sedan chair and carried it straight into the cave room, to the door, and the palace maid helped to get off the sedan chair, entered the Jiaofang Palace, walked to the bed and sat down, and there were palace maids standing on both sides. Now I am waiting for the emperor to come.
Mo Xing must also issue an edict to officially appoint Zhang Yunshu as the empress.
It was past noon, and Mo Xing had to deal with red tape and the palace people who kept admonishing him, and he didn't have a moment to breathe until the dinner was approaching. He was the only one left in the hall, sitting on the dragon chair, with his eyes closed and recuperated. After a while, Liuzhu came in and saw him dressed in a bright red robe, green silk like ink, and his face was like a silver moon, which seemed to be less indifferent and pure than usual, and more lazy and gorgeous. As a result, the old-fashioned furnishings around the area have softened a little.
Liuzhu stepped forward and called softly: Your Majesty, all the envoys and ministers have been arranged, just wait for you to start.
Mo Xing opened his eyes, sat down, looked at him and said, "You go first, and I will arrive later." Liuzhu listened, nodded, and went out.
Mo Xing looked at the moonlight outside the window, and suddenly remembered that he had seen her under such moonlight many years ago. If she had been brought into the palace before the wedding, would that not have happened? Where is she at this moment? After thinking about it, he retracted his mind and got up and went to the banquet place.
During the feast, everyone toasted to Mo Xing again in turn, and Mo Xing also smiled one by one. It didn't take long for me to get slightly drunk. Liuzhu hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: You adults can come to participate in the emperor's wedding, Yang is here to thank you. It's just that our emperor is not strong enough to drink, and please raise your noble hands!
As he spoke, he drank all the wine in the cup, shook it again, and bowed. When everyone saw this, it was not good to toast anymore. only smiled: The Prime Minister is so loyal to the Lord, it is really admirable.
Liuzhu said with a smile: You are all the pillars of various countries, how can Yang Mou He De bear the word "admiration". It's just that I ask you to eat and drink well here, but I ask for your forgiveness if we have neglected something.
Someone laughed and said, "My lord said that he was joking, how can the word "slack" be said for such a good hospitality! When everyone heard this, they all echoed it. Liuzhu is not easy to shirk, and he can't drink wine because of Moxing, so he has to pour himself full of wine and salute them one by one. After a while, all the drifting bamboos were taking care of it, and when he saw that it was not too early, he smiled and said: I think it's just today, let me send someone to send the adults back. As he spoke, he summoned the palace people who were serving on the side and ordered him to find the commander of the guards. The commander came, got his order, and sent some guards to escort the adults back to the post station to rest.
The ladies were full of wine and food, and when they saw that the hour was almost up, they heard what the prime minister said, so they gladly agreed, and were supported by the attendants, and went out of the palace with the guards. After everyone left, Mo Xing went to the new house first. After Liuzhu gave the order, he also left the palace.
Entering the new house, it was another red tape. Finally, when everyone had dispersed, only the newcomers were left here, sitting next to each other. Yun Shu's hijab had been lifted, and he looked at the person in front of him with a peach blossom face. Whoever wants Mo Xing to see that everyone is gone in a daze, he falls asleep. Seeing this, Yun Shu had no choice but to untie his wide clothes, and then faded his wedding clothes on his own, and fell asleep like this.
