At the beginning of September, the prince's marriage was put on the agenda, and the Ministry of Rites canonized Chang Meirong, the daughter of Kaiping King Chang Yuchun, as the crown princess according to the royal ceremonial decree.

It should be a day of celebration for the whole world, because Chang Meirong's mourning period has not yet expired, Zhu Yuanzhang is not happy when he thinks of Chang Yuchun's death, and he instructs lightly: "There is no need to praise the ceremony, only use a gold plate, Zhai Che is made of a phoenix sedan chair, and the goose is made of jade." In ancient times, the etiquette had to welcome the Suiyu wheel, and now use a sedan chair to open the curtain. They were married, and they were used with scoops according to the ancient ritual system. ”

Ma Xiuying was slightly dissatisfied when she heard this, this is Zhu Biao's first life event of marriage, no one can be wronged by children, she secretly added a few expensive dowries to Chang Meirong, gave Zhu Biao a few private treasures, and even the East Palace She let the palace people clean up a new look.

On the 11th, the prince's wedding, the capital is full of lights, music and drums are ringing, firecrackers are shaking the sky, the death of Chang Yuchun is a painful blow to the Ming Dynasty, and people need a happy event to inspire people.

As soon as the morning dawned, the subordinate officials of the East Palace all wore court uniforms and displayed honor guards outside the gate of the East Palace, and the road from the palace to the Changfu was full of soldiers who maintained order, Zhu Biao wore a crown suit and rode out of the palace, and the guards followed according to the etiquette.

When the car arrived at Changfu, Zhu Biao personally got out of the car to greet his relatives.

The funeral list on the door of Changfu has been taken down, replaced with a big red happy word, the middle door is wide open, the servants hold red silk and stand along the steps, and the dowry procession that has been lifted out of the mansion one after another is mighty and winding for more than ten miles.

Along the way, the lively people rushed to tell each other, rubbing their palms and cheering: "Wow, ten miles of red makeup! ”

"Can the prince's pomp and circumstance be small?"

"The palace has nothing. If my daughter can marry into the palace, the dowry will be more than that. ”

"You don't pee on yourself, do you have that life?"

"Don't make a noise, look, the bride is out!"

"Hey, how does the bride wear white?"

The uproar of the people gradually subsided, and they noticed that the bride was dressed in a beautiful phoenix crown and xiaxia veil, covered with a red hijab and carried out by the eldest prince of Changfu, but because of the posture of the back, the hem of the clothes inside was exposed, and it was not a real red big sleeve shirt, but a white robe. If you look closely, the hem of the prince's crown dress is also sewn with a white line. Suddenly, a faint sadness washed away the joyful atmosphere, and people suddenly remembered that the couple was married within 100 days of the loss of their father.

Chang Meirong sat in the exquisite sedan chair, no one knew the mood of the bride's marriage, and the palace maid sent to serve only heard a heart-wrenching cry faintly coming from the sedan chair.

Lan, dressed in commanding clothes, confessed to Zhu Biao. She originally didn't allow her daughter to take Bai into the palace, which was unlucky, but Chang Meirong, who had always been obedient to her, insisted on wearing a white robe, and said that after entering the palace, she couldn't continue to keep filial piety for Chang Yuchun, and only in this way could she feel at ease.

Zhu Biao said kindly: "Mother-in-law don't worry, before leaving the palace, the mother and queen also sewed a white line for the palace, and told the palace not to forget the merits of King Kaiping." The palace keeps it in mind, and will be in harmony with the crown princess in the future, and raise the case with eyebrows. ”

"The queen has a heart. Lan sighed, Ma Xiuying not only didn't mind Chang Meirong keeping filial piety, but also asked the prince to keep filial piety for Chang Yuchun, this kindness is indescribable. After listening to the prince's heartfelt words, she finally showed a heartfelt smile, with such a mother-in-law and husband, her daughter should be happy after entering the palace.

The royal ceremonies must be carried out at an auspicious time, and Zhu Biao did not stay for a long time, so he said goodbye to the Lan family and rode back to the palace on a white horse.

When I arrived at the palace gate, a small car covered by a curtain had been waiting for a long time, and the palace maid reminded in a low voice: "The crown princess, it's time to change to a car." ”

Chang Meirong stopped her tears and answered softly, fortunately, there was a hijab to cover it, and outsiders couldn't see her crying makeup. With the support of the palace maid, she climbed into the car, she used to enter the palace often, but she was never so frightened as today, after today she is no longer just a passerby, but one of the owners of the palace. What will life be like in the future? Will the prince be good to her?

After a while, the car stopped, and a kind voice sounded outside, "Child, I'm home." ”

Hearing this familiar voice, Chang Meirong burst into tears again, and choked up: "Queen Mother!"

"Don't cry on a big day. Your father is still waiting in the palace to officiate at your wedding. Ma Xiuying helped Chang Meirong get out of the car and put her hand into the palm of a gentle man.

Chang Meirong's heart trembled, is this man her husband, the crown prince? I didn't have time to think about it, she had been taken into the East Palace by Zhu Biao to meet Zhu Yuanzhang.

After a set of complicated ceremonies were held, Zhu Yuanzhang admonished: "The crown princess will hold the palace for a long time in the future, and she must be gentle and cautious......"

Looking at Chang Meirong trembling below, Ma Xiuying smiled in Zhu Yuanzhang's ear: "Your Majesty, the concubine will teach the princess in the future, the two children are tired for a day, let's go back and let them rest." ”

The affairs of the harem should have been taken care of by Ma Xiuying, and Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything more, got up and left.

The next day, Zhu Biao and Chang Meirong went to the Taimiao Temple together, and after returning to the palace, they met Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying.

"The emperor is in court, you come to see the emperor again at dinner. Ma Xiuying met the couple in Kunning Palace, and left Chang Meirong to ask alone: "Is the prince good to you?"

Chang Meirong blushed, lowered her eyebrows, and nodded.

Ma Xiuying said: "Tomorrow, there will be a banquet in the palace to entertain the ministers and women, you let your mother and two younger sisters also come out and walk around, don't be confined to the mansion and suffocate your body." ”

Chang Meirong's eyes lit up, and then dimmed, "A daughter-in-law can't leave the palace casually." ”

"Silly boy, you can't go out of the palace to pass on the edict. Ma Xiuying chuckled and patted the back of Chang Meirong's hand, "I promised your mother that she would often visit you in the palace in the future, and if you want to see her in the future, let people pass it on directly, and you don't have to tell me every time." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother. Chang Meirong was about to kneel down and thank you.

Ma Xiuying helped her up, "I don't like people to kneel at every turn, you don't have to be polite in front of me, I really treat you as a daughter, let's not be so angry." ”

"Yes, the daughter-in-law will respect the queen mother as her own mother in the future. Chang Meirong smiled lightly, although there was still a trace of sadness on her brows, she could see that this smile came from the heart.

Ma Xiuying quipped: "If you really want to honor me, give me a good grandson to hug." ”

"Queen Mother!" Chang Meirong couldn't wait to find a hole in the ground to get into, and his head rested in Ma Xiuying's arm for a long time and refused to lift it.

Ma Xiuying rubbed her back, "Okay, okay, the queen mother is joking with you, in fact, the queen mother doesn't want you to give birth too early, you are still young, and you can have children only when your body is stronger." ”

Hearing that Ma Xiuying was thinking about her body, Chang Meirong was very moved, and unconsciously became a little closer to Ma Xiuying.

Xun Ying saw her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law snuggling together and talking kissing, and she was very happy in her heart, and people who didn't know thought that this was a pair of biological mother and daughter.
