Chapter 27 Emperor Yan Marries His Daughter 3
Standing on the pedestal of the three-layer white marble stone carving, watching his beloved daughter board the big red golden silk nanmu phoenix, Yan Tian couldn't help but sigh lightly after all, and the queen Lu Xun, who was standing beside him, also left two lines of tears.
Yan Tian and Lu Xun both knew very well in their hearts that once Yan Qingqiu went on this trip, they were afraid that the family would never have a chance to reunite in this life, but what was waiting for Yan Qingqiu was another treacherous cage and a stupid prince who everyone on the Tiancheng Continent knew and laughed at. But for the sake of Yan Qingqiu, they had no choice!
"Pick up the !!"
After Ouyang Ye drove his horse to the front of the send-off procession, with the singing of Mrs. Yurong, all the relatives sent to the palace gate of Yan Huang Palace, the eunuchs raised their dowries one after another, Feng Yuan followed Yu Rong and Yu Ling left and right, and then, everyone raised their legs and walked towards the gate of Yan Huang Palace in unison, and the sixteen horses holding Feng Yuan also drove forward with tacit understanding.
"Brother Tian, you said that we sent Qiu'er to the Red Ice Kingdom to make peace with that stupid prince, is it right or wrong?" I kept watching the big red golden silk Nanmu Fengren carrying Yan Qingqiu drive out of the palace gate of the Yan Palace, and endured and endured, Lu Xun still asked after all.
Yan Tian, who had also been watching the big red golden silk nanmu phoenix chariot carrying Yan Qingqiu, heard this, but showed a somewhat bleak smile, and his words revealed a thick reluctance: "If you don't do this, what can we do?" Qiu'er...... Even if she has the most beautiful appearance on the Tiancheng Continent, what about her full of talent? Our Qiu'er was ruined by the group of poisonous women in the palace as early as fourteen years ago. Now, Chibing is willing to accept our Qiu'er as the crown prince and concubine, although she is only married to a stupid prince, you and I have nothing to be dissatisfied with. ”
Hearing this, Lu Xun finally stopped crying, and pulled up a somewhat bleak smile, but said in a relieved tone: "Yes! Such an ending may be a great luck in misfortune for our Qiu'er." We...... There really is nothing to complain about. It's just that I don't know if Qiu'er can spend the rest of her life in the treacherous harem of the Red Ice Country, and give birth to the first eldest grandson of the emperor of the Red Ice Kingdom. ”
Hearing this, Yan Tian sneered. Turning around, Yan Tian only left a few cold words: "Xun'er, you have been under the high walls of this palace for more than 20 years, have you seen less of the dirty methods they used? I don't want Qiu'er to give birth to any emperor grandson for the Chibing Kingdom, I just want Qiu'er to live safely to the age of the sixtieth birthday in that dirty place, if so, after a hundred years, I will be able to smile at Jiuquan and have no regrets in this life. ”
Taking a deep breath and then slowly exhaling it, looking at the direction of the palace gate of the Yan Palace, Lu Xun's eyes were full of sadness. Even the tone was very sad: "Qiu'er, it was the queen mother who failed to protect you, which caused you to come to this point, and it was the queen mother who was ashamed of you! Just as your father wished, the queen mother, I only hope that you can live safely to the age of the sixtieth birthday in that dirty place, if you can do so, after a hundred years of the queen mother, you will be able to smile like your father." I have no regrets in this life!"
On Donglin Street outside the Yanhuang Palace, both sides of the street were already full of people in Donglin City, Kyoto, Yan Kingdom. At a glance, there are men, women and children, including many peddlers and pawns or businessmen and wealthy families. Everyone's face is more or less full of anticipation and joy. What's more, his face is full of excitement.
From a hundred meters outside the palace gate, along the winding Donglin Street to the south gate of the Donglin Capital, all the people of the Yan Kingdom came to watch the wedding ceremony of Princess Haoyue, the most noble tenth princess of their Yan Kingdom. In the meantime, there are even more people from other cities and counties in Yan who came to Kyoto Donglin City to watch the ceremony.
If you look down from a high place, this scene is not an exaggeration to describe it as "an empty alley". This shows how grand and eye-catching the marriage of a princess of a country is!
No matter which dynasty or generation. Historically, whenever a grand ceremony is held, the royal family travels, in order to avoid any accidents, there must be officers and soldiers to clean up the streets to pass, and send troops to garrison the streets.
A hundred years after the establishment of the nine kingdoms of Daliang, Dazhang, Chibing, Fengming, Hui, Liang, Yan, Ying, and Xiao, the ceremonial laws of each country have been established and perfected, and some people have compiled the "Chronicles of the Nine Kingdoms", which records the ceremonial laws of the nine countries.
It is recorded in the "Chronicles of the Nine Kingdoms, Yan and Xing": "When the Son of Heaven travels, on both sides of the street, there is a taxi in three steps, and when the prince travels, he travels in five steps, and when people from the royal family travel, he travels in ten steps." ”
Today, it is the day of the marriage of Princess Haoyue, the tenth favorite princess of Yan Emperor Yan Tian, on both sides of the street where the princess must walk, every five steps there is an officer and soldier holding a spear and a long sword at his waist, and the people who came to watch the ceremony were blocked by those officers and soldiers outside the street. If anyone dares to take a step beyond the thunder pool, they will definitely become a ghost under the spear!
Originally, the "Five Steps and One Scholar" could only be used by the queen of Yan and the crown prince when traveling, but because Yan Qingqiu was the beloved daughter of Emperor Yan, and Yan Qingqiu was married to the prince and concubine of the Chibing Kingdom, he became the prince of the Chibing Kingdom on the throne, and Yan Qingqiu was the queen of the Chibing Kingdom, so no one felt that there was anything wrong with this arrangement.
"Look!!It's Princess Haoyue's send-off process!!" I don't know who shouted like this among the people near the palace gate, and the crowd that was originally just chatting quietly immediately boiled, and everyone raised their toes and stretched their necks to look in the direction of the palace gate of Yanhuang Palace.
In Yan Kingdom, no one knows that Yan Qingqiu is the most beloved princess of Emperor Yan Chang, and no one knows that Yan Qingqiu is the most beautiful beauty in Yan since the founding of the country, and she is the real first beauty in Yan Kingdom!
But since Yan Qingqiu moved into the Qiushui Pavilion on his ninth birthday, there are only a dozen people who have seen Yan Qingqiu's appearance, except for the insiders of the royal family of Yan Kingdom, but there are only a dozen people in Yan Kingdom.
However, if it is strictly investigated, even most of the insiders of the Yan Kingdom royal family have only seen Yan Qingqiu once or twice from a distance, and they have no chance to get a close look at his beauty, which is a big pity in the hearts of those people.
Because he was loved by Emperor Yanchang since he was a child, until the Qiushui Pavilion was built, Yan Qingqiu lived in the Fengyi Palace of Queen Lu Xun, but at that time Yan Qingqiu was still young, although his appearance was beautiful and soft, but because of a bit of childishness, he covered up the excessive beauty. After the completion of the Qiushui Pavilion, Yan Qingqiu rarely stepped out of the Qiushui Pavilion after moving into the Qiushui Pavilion, and even the princes and princesses rarely participated in the daily greetings to the Empress Lu Xun.
Until five years ago, Emperor Yanchang's biological mother, Empress Dowager Bo, collapsed due to illness, and the whole country of Yan was mourned.
Emperor Yanchang is an out-and-out filial son, after the collapse of the Empress Dowager Bo, Emperor Yanchang ordered hundreds of officials to kneel outside the mourning hall of the Empress Dowager Bo and cry bitterly to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager Bo's heroic soul in the sky, and make it clear which one dares to cheat and not cry and mourn, he will be heavily punished with 30 boards and fined for half a year. The concubines and concubines of Emperor Yanchang, the princes and the princess all knelt in the mourning hall of the Empress Dowager Bo and kept a vigil for the Empress Dowager Bo for 7749 days. Even the queen and the crown prince went, and Yan Qingqiu was naturally among them.
Because of this matter, Yan Qingqiu, who had been living in seclusion since moving into the Qiushui Pavilion, appeared in front of everyone for the first time, but this time alone was enough for Yan Qingqiu's reputation to spread to the Yan Kingdom, and even the entire Tiancheng Continent! But after that, Yan Qingqiu rarely appeared in front of people again.
After all, Yan Qingqiu was only thirteen years old five years ago, and she was just a little girl who didn't grow up.
Although I have always heard how Princess Haoyue Yan Qingqiu is beautiful, after all, Yan Qingqiu is the princess of a country, and there are very few opportunities to step out of the palace, not to mention that Yan Qingqiu has always lived in a simple place, and even Qiushui Pavilion rarely takes a step, these ordinary people who yearn for the beauty of Princess Haoyue have no chance to see her face.
Therefore, on the day of Yan Qingqiu's wedding, it is understandable that both sides of the street through which Yan Qingqiu's phoenix will pass are crowded with the people of Yan Kingdom.
Even if an ordinary princess marries, it is enough for these ordinary people to stand along the street and watch the grand ceremony, not to mention that the princess who is married today is still the "first beauty" of their Yan country, and the "first beauty" of Tiancheng Continent!
Having said that, at this time, inside the palace gate of the Yan Imperial Palace, Yan Qingqiu's family sending team was still slowly moving forward, and the first to step out of the palace gate was Ouyang Ye, a mighty general wearing a silver helmet, wearing a silver armor and red robe, and a long sword at his waist, straddling the black horse. Ouyang Ye was followed by two columns of palace maids dressed in peach-colored palace clothes, and on the left and right of the palace maids were soldiers holding spears, wearing long swords at their waists, and wearing armor.
Later, the big red golden silk nanmu phoenix drawn by sixteen horses appeared at the palace gate, and the big red veil hanging around the phoenix covered the scene inside the phoenix, although people could vaguely see a person sitting inside the phoenix, but also let those people who came to watch the ceremony never get a glimpse of the holy face of Princess Haoyue.
"That's Princess Haoyue's phoenix!!The most beautiful princess of our Yan Kingdom is sitting in the phoenix!" With this voice, the people who came to watch the ceremony became even more boiling.
"Princess! I saw the princess! I saw the princess when the wind blew the red veil hanging from the edge of the phoenix just now!
"I saw it too! The princess looks so beautiful in her wedding dress! I am afraid that there is no woman in this world who can be more beautiful than the princess!"
In this gushing of admiration, no one could see it, but Yan Qingqiu, who was sitting in the phoenix, was silently weeping.
This piece of the land where she grew up! That splendid palace! These people she loves, and the people who love her! After today, she will not have the chance to see her again! Farewell, Yan Kingdom! Farewell, her father, queen mother, and these Yan people who are happy and happy because of her marriage at this moment!
It's hard to see you again after a long time, father, mother, I hope you cherish it! )
