Chapter 174: The Prince's Wedding
After three days of drifting and heavy rain, people were worried about the prince's big wedding three days later. Some people even speculated that this day was not beautiful, and it was not because God was hinting to them that it was unwise to make peace this time? Just when the officials and the people were panicking, the day of the prince's wedding was a red day.
On the day of the wedding, the sky suddenly cleared. This phenomenon makes people think that it is a good omen. With such good weather, the people did not have so much resistance to Gao Xinhua, the seventh princess of Chengyue, who came from afar to be friendly.
Today's palace is very lively. Southern Xia was in harmony with Chengyue, and several other countries saw it in their eyes, and sent envoys to Southern Xia to send congratulatory gifts to the prince's new marriage.
Pu Yangyan was wearing a big red wedding dress, her hair was tied up high, she was smiling, and she was holding half of the red silk in her hand. Gao Xin Huaqiao wore a phoenix crown and a red wedding dress, gritted his teeth lightly, and grabbed the other half of the red silk nervously with both hands.
In the Tianxing Palace, under the gaze of many guests, they knelt and bowed to the emperor, queen, and queen mother with the shouts of the ceremonial officials......
At the wedding banquet, when Pu Yangyan and Gao Xinhua were carefully carrying out the complicated etiquette of getting married, Lin Ling was full and asleep in her seat as always.
After the ceremony, in front of many concubines, princesses, officials and envoys from several countries, Puyang Yan praised the crown prince Puyang Yanmeng. Rewards are naturally indispensable, but Pu Yangyan is already a prince, so Puyang Yan only rewarded 200,000 taels of gold, 100,000 taels of silver, and various jewels as gifts.
The emperor sent things first, and then the eldest prince Pu Yangqing, the second prince Pu Yangli, and the third prince Pu Yang Wu also began to give the gifts they had prepared.
……
"Fourth, eldest brother here, there is a thousand-year-old Lingzhi that I obtained from a worldly master many years ago. It is said that eating it not only strengthens the body, but also has the effect of reviving the dead. The eldest brother gave you this lingzhi as a congratulatory gift, and you must not dislike it. ”
"How so, the fourth brother can only thank the eldest brother..."
……
After a few minutes, the two eunuchs carried a guqin and came to Pu Yangyan and Gao Xinhua.
"The third brother's congratulatory gift is a thousand-year-old guqin, which was given by a piano shop owner by chance when he traveled out of the palace a year ago. I heard that the princess's piano skills are amazing, and this guqin was given to the princess. Pu Yang Wei looked at Gao Xinhua's happy appearance, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose slightly.
"The third brother has a heart..."
……
"Fourth brother, guess what, what is this congratulatory gift for the second brother?" Puyang Lishen mysteriously sold Guanzi and ordered the four eunuchs to carry a big box into the hall. I don't know what the box contained, it looked heavy, because the four eunuchs had to lift the box with great difficulty.
Pu Yangyan has long been tired of seeing the gifts given by those ministers, not a rare night pearl, but a rare ancient jade, and the most is a variety of treasures.
No, seeing the four eunuchs carrying up such a big box, he instantly came to his spirit again: "Alas, second brother, you don't want to sell Guanzi." Open it up and see what kind of treasure it is?"
Not only Pu Yangyan, but everyone present, including the emperor, the queen, and the queen mother, were all curious about what was in the box.
At the moment of great attention, Pu Yangli opened the box with his own hands. To the horror of the people, a small unicorn was sleeping in the box. It is a spirit beast from the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Villa in the territory of the Western Winter Kingdom, how precious it is. However, this unicorn has not been removed from its wildness, and it will inevitably hurt people, how dare the second prince rashly bring it into the palace and give it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as a gift?
"Is it the Red Flame Golden-bearded Unicorn?Second Brother, where did you get it?......" Pu Yangqing asked.
When Puyang saw it, his heart was also uplifted, "Unicorn, Ten Thousand Beasts Villa, Second Brother, when will you go to the Western Winter Country to get this treasure?...
When everyone was nervous, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was unusually relaxed, and said with a smile: "The unicorn that no one can tame in the rumors can, I didn't expect to let the second brother accept it! Your congratulatory gift is really valuable, and the fourth brother laughed at it...... "As he spoke, the little unicorn fell asleep beautifully, and it seemed that he had not been woken up."
……
Pu Yang Lu frowned, he didn't think that his second son had the ability to tame this little unicorn. I think that when he followed the emperor to fight in the south and the north, and then the Southern Xia and the Western Winter Kingdom became allies, he also went to the Ten Thousand Beasts Villa and took a fancy to a unicorn at a glance. It was the mother of the little unicorn, who had paid a high price for it, but because he couldn't tame it, he had to go home empty-handed.
……
The topic of 'unicorn' didn't last long, and when it was time for everyone to send congratulatory gifts, Lin Ling was woken up by Ye Chen. You said that it would be nice to be able to sleep until the end of the wedding? If you don't wake up early or late, you wake up when it's time to give a congratulatory gift. This is the prince's wedding, can you do it if the congratulatory gift is bad?
Lin Ling looked at the prince and the officials in a daze and praised the congratulatory gifts they sent, looked sideways at Ye Chen beside him, doubted in his heart, and asked in a low voice, "Am I asleep?"
When it's so lively, there's no reason to fall asleep!
Ye Chen's eyes were a little evasive, and he didn't answer Lin Ling's question directly, but only handed her a delicate box and said, "Your congratulatory gift." ”
"I... Did I still prepare a congratulatory gift?" Lin Ling asked, suddenly seeing someone looking at her with suspicion on her face, she immediately lowered the volume a little more, and said, "Strange, why don't I remember that I prepared a congratulatory gift?" and... I always think that the wedding should be in three days, why is the wedding banquet held today?"
Lin Ling's mind was blank, and Ye Chen stepped forward to send him the congratulatory gift he had prepared for the prince. From a distance, it looks like a bag of tea.
It's too cold, isn't it??
No, then what am I?
Lin Ling wanted to secretly open the box to see what it was, but the box couldn't be opened. Yechen had already returned from sending the congratulatory gift, Pu Yangyan thanked him for a while, but Lin Ling was still in place and did not move.
How could Concubine Qian, who was still indignant about the previous bullying of women, let go of the good opportunity to strike at Lin Ling, and only listened to her: "I don't know what kind of gifts Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess has prepared for Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess?
Damn, what do you mean? That means I can't afford to give away precious treasures! Do you want to be so snobbish? That's enough!
"What the concubine said is a little inappropriate. This palace thinks that the prince's wedding, the big day, the congratulatory gift is originally a celebration rather than profit. Therefore, congratulatory gifts are a precious heart, regardless of their value. Your Majesty, do you say yes?" Sikong skillfully maintained her well-informed image, and even argued with Concubine Qian.
Pu Yanglu glanced at Concubine Qian, with a hint of reproach in her eyes, and said, "The queen is right. ”
This is the first time that Pu Yangli has an expression of blaming Concubine Qian on his face, where can Pu Yangli still sit still: "Aunt Xiyuan, just open the box and let everyone open their eyes!"
"This congratulatory gift is still given by the crown prince and the crown princess himself. Lin Ling stepped forward nervously and handed the box to Pu Yangyan's hand.
"Thank you, auntie..."Pu Yangyan and Gao Xinhua said in unison.
Seeing that Pu Yangyan was about to open the box, Lin Ling was also full of expectations. What I can't understand is that the small wooden box, the box that she couldn't open for a long time, Pu Yangyan easily opened it.
