16. Together
A few days ago, Yan Wenhao was sick again, and he had not yet recovered, at this time he barely supported his body, standing in front of the Xiangfu, and the bright wedding robe was worn on him, making his face more and more pale, as if he was not careful, he would fall down.
The people who were at the appearance of the ceremony sighed one after another.
At this time, Mu Ziling slowly walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he looked at Yan Wenhao in a daze for a long time, hesitated for a while, and then slowly raised his hand and shook it with Yan Wenhao's hand stretched out towards him.
Yan Wenhao looked at each other's hands, then looked at him again, the corners of his mouth rose, and a touching smile was hooked.
"Let's go."
The auspicious time has come, and it is time for them to enter the palace.
"Okay." Mu Ziling replied softly.
Because Mu Ziling is a man, he doesn't need to wear a red hijab, which also makes him feel a little more comfortable, otherwise he is really like a woman with a red silk hijab, even if he has made countless preparations in his heart, he still can't help but feel resentful.
Yan Wenhao took Mu Ziling's hand and slowly walked towards the sedan chair, the sun sprinkled on them without hesitation, so dazzling that people couldn't look at it directly.
Probably because Yan Wenhao married a man, Emperor Yan always felt a little guilty about him, so this prince's wedding was very huge, almost comparable to the prince's concubine.
Even if the time is in a hurry, there is indeed a lot to prepare.
The sedan chair used by the prince to marry his wife was supposed to be a large sedan chair carried by ten people, only four people less than the prince, but the sedan chair in front of him was clearly carried by fourteen people, Mu Ziling couldn't help but turn his head and glanced at Yan Wenhao.
However, Yan Wenhao acted as if he hadn't seen anything, hadn't found anything, with a gentle smile on his face, supported by Fuquan, and turned over on the horse's back.
At the same time, Mu Ziling was also invited to the sedan chair.
The mighty welcoming procession circled around the capital, and when it entered the palace, it was already close to dusk, and it was almost unitary time.
Outside the Taihe Palace, the greeting team stopped, and further inside, the sedan chair and the white horse were not passable.
Standing in front of the sedan chair, Yan Wenhao bent down slightly, opened the curtain, stretched out a hand, and after a while, led Mu Ziling out of the sedan chair.
At this time, the Taihe Palace, has been brightly lit, on the road leading to the Taihe Palace, the red silk spreads all over the ground, and the carved railings on both sides are also hung with red silk, which looks jubilant.
In front of the Taihe Palace, Fuxi took five palace maids and five eunuchs to wait, and when he saw them coming, he entered the palace with a smile and went to inform Emperor Yan.
This hour, neither early nor late, is the auspicious time set by the national teacher.
Looking at the splendid Taihe Hall in front of him, Mu Ziling's eyes were a little dazed, he had been reading poetry and books all along, in order to be a good official who asked for the people's lives like his father.
He once imagined that one day, he would wear court clothes, stand on the court, ask for the life of the people of the world, and benefit them...... And now, his dream is shattered, but he still came to the Taihe Hall where hundreds of officials are discussed, but as the princess, it is really ironic.
Sensing that his hand was gently pinched, Mu Ziling came back to his senses, he turned his head and glanced at Yan Wenhao who was standing beside him, but found that Yan Wenhao was always looking at him, his eyes were full of concern and gentleness.
Mu Ziling was stunned for a while, and after a while, he suddenly felt a little hot on his face, and hurriedly turned his head back, lowered his head, and stared at his feet intently.
Seeing this reaction, Yan Wenhao squinted his eyes, and then stared at Mu Ziling carefully for a long time, until he saw an ear that was a little red, and then he withdrew his gaze, but his eyes were a little thoughtful.
The actions of the two of them fell completely into the eyes of Emperor Yan sitting on the imperial chair, he glanced at them lightly, and then swept over the courtiers with different faces, and gently knocked on the armrest of the throne with his hand, looking unhappy or angry.
Fuxi walked to Emperor Yan's side, bent down, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has arrived, can you salute?" ”
"Well, let's get started." Emperor Yan raised his eyes and replied lightly.
The Great Yan Rite System has written, the prince is married, the emperor and the queen should wear the imperial robe and the phoenix robe and sit on the Taihe Palace, but the queen has passed away, after that, the Yan Emperor has no intention of standing up, at this time the concubine with the highest rank in the harem is the concubine of Degui.
According to the ceremony, at this time, Concubine De should temporarily replace the queen, sit in this position, and be worshiped by the prince and the princess, but at this time, in the Taihe Palace, there is only Emperor Yan.
There are many and cumbersome royal etiquette, just one worship heaven and earth, there are many things that need to be paid attention to, Mu Ziling firmly remembered what the official said, he didn't dare to slack off at all, every action was done in a standardized manner, and he couldn't help but smile a little more in his eyes.
The end of the salute also means that the wedding has finally come to an end.
Due to the hurry of the wedding date, there was no time to build a new mansion, so Emperor Yan gave Yan Wenhao a mansion, which is still under repair, and it will take at least half a month before people can live in it, so during this time, they still live in Lingxiao Pavilion.
At this time, Lingxiao Pavilion has been arranged very festively, red silk and lanterns are hung all over the palace, Fuquan led a group of eunuchs and palace maids and guards to stand in front of the door, Yan Wenhao and Mu Ziling's figures came into sight, and in an instant, they knelt down together and saluted respectfully.
"Welcome to the second prince, the princess!"
"Excuse me."
Yan Wenhao waved his hand and motioned for everyone to get up, then smiled slightly, and led Mu Ziling to slowly cross them and walk towards the hall.
Mu Ziling, who was led all the way, heard the words 'princess', but he still didn't come back to his senses.
In the main hall, it is still very gorgeously decorated.
Yan Wenhao led Mu Ziling to the table, on which all kinds of pastries and nuts were placed, but the almonds were avoided, and under the two tall red candles, a pot of wine and two white jade cups were placed.
Lowering his head, Yan Wenhao poured two glasses of wine, picked up one glass, and handed it to the young man in front of him who had not yet come back to his senses, his eyes were gentle, and there was a very faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Mu Ziling lowered his eyes, looked at the white jade wine glass in front of him without blinking, and didn't reach out to take it for a long time.
Yan Wenhao looked at him, a hint of apology flashed quickly in a pair of good-looking eyes, and he didn't say anything to urge him, but just held it like this, waiting quietly.
After such a stalemate for a long time, Mu Ziling slowly raised his hand, took the wine glass in Yan Wenhao's hand, raised his head to look at him, his eyes were already calm, and there was nothing in it.
Yan Wenhao looked at him, smiled slightly, and then picked up another wine glass, and said softly: "Modest, after drinking this cup of wine, you and I will be husband and wife." ”
When Mu Ziling heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart, and then his cheeks turned red, and under the reflection of the candlelight, he was even more beautiful.
After that, the two did not continue to say more, but saluted each other and drank all the wine in the white jade wine glass.
After drinking wine, according to the etiquette, the prince needs to attend the banquet in the palace, and the princess only needs to wait in the house, but Yan Wenhao is sick and cannot attend, so he has to stay in the main hall.
At this time, all the palace people had withdrawn, and in the main hall, only Yan Wenhao and Mu Ziling were left.
Staring at each other for a long time, the two were silent, and the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing for a while.
At this moment, in the entire hall, there was only a slight sound of red candles burning.
After being silent for a while, suddenly, Yan Wenhao seemed to remember something, his eyes lit up, he approached Mu Ziling, and said excitedly: "Modesty, do you want to continue the last chess game?" ”
"Good"
Mu Ziling swept away the previous embarrassment and nodded happily, the whole person was full of interest.
In the last game, there has been no winner or loser until now, and he has been looking forward to continuing to finish the chess game with Yan Wenhao.
