The Queen Mother thought that Ling Tong was a young girl, and placed her in Princess Jiying, Jiying was born to Concubine Shu, thirteen years old, and was the second princess of today's saint, born handsome and hearty, and the Queen Mother especially loved it! often brought to his side to take care of him personally, Ling Tong and Ji Ying hit it off at first sight, and they were overjoyed to live together for three days.

The Prince's wedding was officially welcomed on April 16 after the five major ceremonies of Nacai, Najib, Najib, Nazheng and Invitation.

Welcoming the sun in person, the princess's family precedes the ancestral hall to display sacrifices.

The crown princess wore Zhai clothes to greet her.

Early that day, the crown prince's curtain was set up, and the guard of honor was laid for geese, and the chariot was ridden, and the priest of the teaching workshop was happy, and the guards and soldiers of the attendant house were all outside the noon gate.

The crown princess's house first set up the crown prince's curtain outside the middle gate, to the south, and set up the incense case and the Yan case in the middle hall.

The crown prince was ordained.

A member of the ceremonial officer enters first, goes to the main hall, and stands in the east and west directions, and the officiant has a court dress and stands in the west and east directions.

The ceremonial official shouted: "The crown prince is in line with the ceremony to welcome the person", and the two people are dressed and the main marriage is welcomed.

The crown prince went first, and the official uniforms and geese followed.

The officiating marriage goes to the middle hall, and the officiating marriage enters the left side of the hall, and the princess's mother stands on the right side of the hall, facing east and west.

The crown prince to the middle hall. Guided by two deacons.

The crown princess went out of the house and stood under her mother.

The crown prince went first, the inner deacon supported it with a curtain, and the crown princess walked later, all of them walked into the Zuoshun door, and the internal officials knelt down to ask.

The crown prince took the public opinion first, the female official knelt and invited, and the crown princess ascended to the sedan chair and walked outside the palace gate.

The crown princess descended the sedan chair and waited for the closing ceremony, and welcomed the gift as a pair of live geese.

Joining the ceremony.

The inner officials first set up the concubine curtain outside the inner hall of the crown prince, set up the crown prince's seat in the east and west of the palace, set up the princess's seat in the west and east directions, and set up the worship seat in the south of the seat, and set up the wine case in the middle slightly south. Put the two lords and two sons on the case.

The two deacons presented a meal before the crown prince and the concubine, and the female deacons took the golden jue and drank wine.

The crown prince and the concubines all served food, and when the three wines were finished, the deacons served them thoroughly.

The crown prince and the crown princess bowed to each other, and the two bowed as before.

The ceremony is over.

The gold utensils for use are: a pair of pots and bottles, a pair of wine injections, a pair of bowls, two sides of the gift plate, two pairs of plates, four walnut bowls, four walnut trays, a pair of walnut bells, a pair of sprinklers, a pair of gourd plates, a pair of teaspoons, and two pairs of chopsticks.

Silverware: two pots and bottles, two pairs of fruits, two juice bottles, a pair of tea bottles, four soup drums, twelve wine sticks, twelve fruit sticks, and twelve tea sticks, all of which are offered on the red lacquer long table.

Ling Tong stood next to the incense tripod in the dress, the lotus incense was still burned in the incense tripod that day, the deacon historian saw it and recorded it in the ceremonial book with a gold lacquer vermilion pen, after everyone moved to the inner hall, Ling Tong took a half step forward to look at the lotus, the lotus petal in the middle burned very fast in the wind, and soon collapsed, only a circle remained, it became a hollow lotus, and the incense head was not red, the incense was gray and dark, it was indeed a sign that the fire was invaded by water, and I thought to myself, "This situation is not a good omen......

I remembered that when I watched the ceremony, although the crown prince was dressed in a brocade robe and was brilliant and noble, there was no joy on his face, and I couldn't help but wonder.

Living in the palace for three days, I also heard the little eunuchs say that the prince loves to swim, and often goes to the dragon mirror after the Bailu solar term, and likes to abandon his entourage alone, and it is inconvenient to go into the water after entering the winter, and he still likes to swim the Lan River alone by boat at night.

On the last night, he and Ji Ying lay on a big bed side by side, the two talked about the people and stories around them, Ling Tong talked about Feng Xiao's big bird eyebrows and Ling Han's voice, and when it came to the eldest brother Ling Fang's courage and intelligence and love for herself, Ji Ying, who has no siblings, can't help but be envious, she grew up in the palace since she was a child, with strict etiquette and strict etiquette, there are rules everywhere, and the joy of life is far less than Ling Tong in Guo's mansion.

She said that although her mother is a concubine, she is the only daughter under her knees, and the most worrying thing is that she is married far away, so every time she sacrifices incense on the New Year's Festival, she must seek a good relationship for her beloved daughter, she said that she is not embarrassed at all when it comes to this matter, and she is generous and hearty, so Tong likes her character very much, so she took her hand and said, "You will not marry far away, you are close to the tip of the chopsticks when you hold the chopsticks, and Mother Wu said that such a girl must be close to her mother's house......"

Ji Ying smiled and said: "Then you are not allowed to marry far away, we can still get together often" Ling Tong couldn't help nodding.

Ling Tong said again: "Actually, my brother is the best in the world, if you are my sister-in-law, then it will be wonderful!" That Ji Ying smiled and squeaked her, Ling Tong was afraid of itching, and she begged for mercy all over the ground. When she stopped, Ji Ying said, "I heard you say that your brother is so outstanding, in fact, I am not ......."

"Haha", Ling Tong clapped his hands and said: "So it's decided, you are my sister-in-law who has no one to replace!" ”

The next day, Ling Tong returned home, and Ji Ying gave her a red and green Luo pin gold bundle, and in return, Ling Tong gave her the Hetian Yuzhu she had been wearing.

When she returned home, Wu's mother was already waiting for her outside the gate, and when she saw her get out of the carriage, she wrapped her in a cloak, "It's warm and cold, do you still have to wear a cloak?" Miss is tired these days! What do you want to eat at night, Mother Wu will make you ......"

After dinner, she couldn't help but talk to Wu's mother about the hollow lotus, and Wu's mother said: "I don't know what the hollow lotus flower means, presumably the crown prince is a little unsatisfactory, right?" The Lingfen girl in the West Mansion didn't enter the palace, maybe it's a good thing! …… I've heard that she often loses her temper or stays alone, and she doesn't like to deal with people, only if we go to Lingzhou can we have a good face......"

"Does the second brother go to see her often?" Ling Tong was slightly stunned.

"Maybe Lingzhou saved her, right?" Wu's mother said, "Lingzhou has a soft temperament, and a girl-like person ......."

In a blink of an eye, I saw Ling Tong with his head tilted and his eyes flickering, and hurriedly said:

"Tong'er, this hollow lotus's words must not be said to others......

Ling Tong smiled affectionately and said, "I'm not a child anymore, so I naturally know!" ”

Mother Wu looked at her lovingly, she was about to turn ten years old, and she looked like a big girl, she couldn't help but take her into her arms and rub her back, the two had not been so intimate for a long time.

Suddenly, Shizuka lifted the curtain and walked in, and when she saw the situation between the two, she smiled and said, "The third lady is still so ......delicate," Ling Tong grimaced at her.

She immediately said, "Mother Wu, there is a grandmother from the palace outside who wants to find a young lady!" Ling Tong got up from Wu's mother's arms, and the two of them looked at each other in shock.

"How do you say this, it's all time, how can there be people in the palace?" Mother Wu panicked

"We're weird too......" Shizuka said

"Come in, please!"
