Xu Lishan gave Xiao Yanzhi and Pei Ze a holy decree to marry, and the various ministries of the court and the central government were busy with this matter, such as the household department, it is better to say that it is okay to say that there is no need to think too much, others can give what they want, but if the Ministry of Rites wants to arrange all the ceremonial procedures on the wedding day, they will be dumbfounded.

I have never held a big wedding ceremony for men and men, and for the time being, leave the question of who marries whom to a couple to discuss and solve, and leave the three media and six hires to them for their own arrangement, but the eldest prince Xiao Yanzhi is now a commoner, and he has already lived in the Wucheng Palace, how to arrange this wedding and welcome relatives? Is it possible to welcome him out of the Wucheng Palace, and then send him back to the Wucheng Palace? What should I do with this happy dress? It is obviously inappropriate for anyone to wear the phoenix crown and xia veil, is it difficult to make two identical sets of men's clothing?

The whole department of etiquette went through the classics in the official office day and night, but they didn't find any examples to refer to, and they were so worried that their hair fell off one by one, and finally they could only cry and ask Xu Lishan for instructions.

Xu Lishan didn't think about this trouble when he gave the order, and he didn't think about it for a long time after listening to the book of the Ministry of Rites, and he only felt that one head and two were big, and he impatiently sent the book of the Ministry of Rites to the palace of Wucheng Wang.

They should handle this on their own, right?

Although the newcomers have never been allowed to arrange the ceremony by themselves, this time the situation is really special, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu can only go to the Wucheng Mansion again.

I thought that I would be kicked out by Pei Ze, the king of Wucheng, but I didn't want to just explain my intentions, so Pei Ze enthusiastically pulled the Ministry of Rites Shangshu to discuss, but the unreliable arrangements were about to catch up with the emperor's post-sealing ceremony, and the Ministry of Rites almost fainted when he heard it.

In the end, Xiao Yanzhi drove Pei Ze back to the study, sat down and straightened out the ritual procedures with the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu happily returned to the Ministry of Rites and arranged it according to Xiao Yanzhi's arrangement. It's just that on the day of the wedding, Xu Lishan still gave Xiao Yanzhi a surprise.

On the eve of the wedding, Xiao Yanzhi led Zhang Shaosheng, Xiushui and Lian Sheng back to the Wanchun Hall in the palace.

This is where his path to becoming a prince begins, and it is also the place where he and Pei Ze began, if he wants to get married, he feels that he should still go out from here.

Nothing has changed in the Wanchun Palace, after Xu Lishan ascended the throne, the Wanchun Palace, the Lizheng Hall and the Daji Palace, the three places where they once lived, were retained, and there were usually only the palace people who sprinkled and swept here, but this night, Xu Lishan seemed to have temporarily transferred back the people who had served in the Wanchun Palace, and even arranged some more people.

On the way from the palace gate to the main entrance of the hall house, two rows of fiery red lanterns are hung, and rows of big red tassels are also hung under the eaves, which are also unique to the red flowers and green leaves in the courtyard.

This night, Xiao Yanzhi stayed awake all night, only sat crookedly on the threshold of the bedroom to admire the moon, changed more than a dozen postures in a variety of styles, and returned to the room before dawn, sat down on the edge of the bed after messing up the bed, turned his head to look at the crumpled mattress behind him, and his eyes were full of smiles.

Waiting for Xiushui and Lian Sheng to call people, Xiao Yanzhi responded energetically, and then opened the door and welcomed the two into the door with a smile.

After all, he is still a man, even if he wants to dress up for the wedding, it won't take long, so Xiushui and Lian Sheng are not in a hurry, this leisurely situation is much better than the day Xiao Junmeng got married.

At that time, the bronze bell on the bell tower let out a long ring, and although he had been prepared, Xiao Yanzhi was still startled.

Xiushui listened attentively, and then said with a smile: "At this time, the prince has probably entered the Chengtian Gate." ”

The first three doors of the palace are not open on ordinary days, but today they are all open in one breath, and even the Taiji Palace, which will be opened in the Great Dynasty, has opened the door for this marriage, and I heard that His Majesty Xià invited the tablets of the first emperor and General Pei to go over, but the prince does not know about this matter.

Lian Sheng followed up and said: "The bells and drums in Chang'an City, except for the weekday daily time, will only ring when the soldiers are in the city, I don't know how Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites persuaded His Majesty to use it in ceremonies." ”

Xiao Yanzhi chuckled lightly and said, "How dare the Ministry of Rites Shangshu play the idea of beating that bell and drum?" This is what Pei Ze wants. ”

And Pei Ze personally went to talk to Xu Lishan, and he didn't know why he had to listen to this.

"It turned out to be the prince!" Xiushui and Lian Sheng glanced at each other, "Then the prince probably thinks that this bell is loud and can spread the good news to a farther place." ”

"How far else does he want to go?" Xiao Yanzhi raised his eyebrows, "Now that the north is Huifu and the south is the South China Sea, this marriage can be said to be known to everyone, where else does he want to pass it on?" ”

Xiushui joked with Xiao Yanzhi: "Childe, you said so, but you look in the mirror by yourself and see what you are smiling at?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi glanced at Xiushui.

When the bell rang for the second time, Pei Ze's people had already arrived at the gate of Wanchun Palace, and the master of ceremonies arranged by the Ministry of Rites also held a scroll and recited it decently at this time.

"Childe, you can go outside." Zhang Shaosheng stood at the door of the room and reminded Xiao Yanzhi that it was time to go out.

"Okay." Looking at himself in the mirror and taking a deep breath, Xiao Yanzhi got up and walked out accompanied by Xiushui and Lian Sheng.

Walking from the backyard of Wanchun Hall to the main gate, Xiao Yanzhi saw Pei Ze at the door of Wanchun Hall from a distance, looking at Pei Ze who pretended to be calm but couldn't hold back, Xiao Yanzhi felt funny.

Rounding it up, the two of them have been together for ten years, and it stands to reason that even if they are not tired of each other, they should be indifferent to many things because of habit, but he feels that nothing has changed between him and Pei Ze, he still enjoys every morning when he wakes up in Pei Ze's arms, and Pei Ze will still feel restless for him every time he is separated.

Separated by a threshold, Xiao Yanzhi stood inside, and Pei Ze stood outside.

Looking at Xiao Yanzhi from head to toe, Pei Ze frowned slightly and said, "You don't seem to be any different from usual." ”

He was also looking forward to Xiao Yanzhi's appearance in a wedding dress, but he could look at it...... It's really no different than usual.

Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said, "What difference can it be?" It's just that I'm dressed in red, and you've never seen me dressed like this. Aren't you the same, nothing special has changed? ”

He doesn't carry so many things on his head like a woman, but the color of his hair crown and clothes is different from usual, so what else can be different?

Pei Ze nodded: "It's the same." ”

The master of ceremonies at the door finally finished reading the scroll in his hand, raised his hand to wipe a handful of sweat, and signaled that Pei Ze could lead Xiao Yanzhi out.

has presided over so many big weddings, and it is the first time I have met a newcomer who is calm enough to chat in front of him, and everyone else praises each other for their good looks, what does the content of these two small talk mean? Is it considered to dislike each other?

didn't notice the entanglement in the master of ceremonies' heart, Pei Ze first helped Xiao Yan to get on the horse, and then turned over on the horse himself, and the horses of the two were free Zhang Shaosheng and Li An led and slowly moved forward.

As soon as the team moved, the musicians of Liyuan, who had opened the way in front, played and played vigorously, and the palace that was solemn and solemn on weekdays suddenly became lively.

According to Xiao Yanzhi's plan, after they came out of the Wanchun Palace, they had to go to the Yingling Hall in the Foguang Temple first, where Pei Ze's father's tablet was, and they should always go to see it, but the people from the front ceremony department led the team directly to the Taiji Hall.

Xiao Yan was puzzled in his heart, so he turned his head to look at Pei Ze, but Pei Ze only smiled slightly, and reached out to hold Xiao Yanzhi's hand.

"If it's not your arrangement, or Xu Lishan's arrangement, what are you worried about?"

Xiao Yan was relieved, thinking that today he just needs to follow the arrangement and complete the ceremony, neither need him to say anything, nor do he need to do anything in particular, it is not bad to enjoy the fun of a big wedding with peace of mind.

can think so, when he came to the front of the Taiji Palace, Xiao Yanzhi couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

There is a sacrificial case in the Taiji Palace, a sacrificial case outside the hall, and the tablet of the first emperor and General Pei is placed behind the sacrificial case in the hall, which is invited by the four Taoist protectors for today's marriage, and the sacrificial case outside the hall is used to worship the heavens at a glance.

In addition, hundreds of civil and military officials are lined up to stand in the open space in front of the Taiji Palace, and the outermost part is a circle of military drums, and in front of the drum are the generals and deputy generals of the Sixteen Guards.

Listening to the emcee's nonsense, Xiao Yanzhi quietly came to Pei Ze's side and asked in a low voice, "Hey, are you making a bit of a big fuss?" ”

"Huh?" Pei Ze looked around, and then said with a smile, "It's also bigger than the battle of sending the princess to marry Fanbang, you are a prince to marry, why do you want this kind of Cheng dù?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi thought for a while, and then asked, "Who paid for this money?" ”

Pei Ze glanced at Xu Lishan, who was standing in front of him, and replied in a low voice: "The treasury is out." ”

Xiao Yanzhi was stunned: "Fortunately, King Wucheng has saved a reputation for more than ten years, otherwise this mess will make the court and the world chaotic." ”

Using the money from the treasury to hold a wedding for two men in the palace, and asking the emperor to officiate at the wedding and be witnessed by hundreds of officials, he himself felt ridiculous, but now that it has come true, he really doesn't know whether to be grateful or to admire people's tolerance and endurance.

Pei Ze smiled: "For you, I will make anything impossible possible." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yan's heart was moved, but Xu Lishan suddenly turned his head and glared at Pei Ze.

"Can you two make small talk a little quieter?"

He withstood so much pressure and gave them such a strict and serious wedding, but the two of them stayed out of the back and chatted? Can you be more serious, a little more moved, and a little more grateful?!

Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corners of his mouth and closed his mouth.
