On the eighth day of the eighth month of August, the auspicious day of the zodiac was supervised by the Pingcheng Internal Affairs Office. In front of the Taiji Palace, Emperor Ming Yuan sat facing south, and Yuan Chen, the new servant, served Emperor Ming Yuan closely. The Minister of the Interior brought the crown prince Tuoba Tao and his wife He Sining to come. Tuoba Tao wears a golden crown, a red brocade robe with a golden silk dragon pattern, and a jade belt around his waist. The Dawei dress retains the hunting and riding habits of the Xianbei tribe, with narrow sleeves and pinched waist, which makes him more and more bee-waisted and e-armed, and his long body is jade.

He led the bride, who was also wearing a big red auspicious dress, and knelt facing north. The wedding was not only according to the Xianbei tradition, but also invited Cui Hao to draw up the wedding customs of the Han people. Several ministers who opposed the sinicization of Emperor Ming and Yuan exchanged glances with each other, and their faces were a little indignant.

The minister of praise and salute stood in the west and said: "The daughter of the He family is dignified and elegant, and she is actually a good match for the crown prince." Today, the daughter of the He family is matched with the crown prince Tuoba Tao. Tuoba Tao bowed three times and kowtowed to Emperor Ming Yuan, and He Sining bowed three times and bowed three times.

After the Han wedding customs, the Xianbei wedding ceremony, the palace attendant presented the plate in his hand to Emperor Ming Yuan, he picked up the small bow and arrow wrapped in red silk, blessed the newlyweds, and blessed the newlyweds to give birth to a mighty little knight in the coming year. On another plate, a bowl was placed in it, which contained salt, and Emperor Ming Yuan dipped his hand in a little salt and wiped it on the lips of the newcomer, indicating that the newcomer was united and shared the joys and sorrows.

After the ceremony, Emperor Ming Yuan beckoned Tuoba Tao and He Sining to come closer. Tuoba Tao stepped forward, knelt at the feet of Emperor Ming Yuan, and looked up at him. He saw that Emperor Ming Yuan's face was pale, as if he was sick, but he was reluctant to support him, and his face was also full of joy. And Emperor Ming Yuan saw Tuoba Tao's handsome eyebrows and heroic hair, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it's good to be young. I have passed away, but fortunately, the Buddha has grown up and can support the world for Dawei.

Emperor Ming Yuan trembled slightly, touched Tuoba Tao's face, and said with a smile on his chin: "Tuoba Tao, you have grown up." Previously, you have been crowned crown prince, and today is your wedding day, which is really a double happiness. From today onwards, I will hand over the world of Great Wei to you, and the military and political affairs of Great Wei will be handed over to you for discretion. Tuoba Tao, you must perpetuate the Great Wei Dynasty founded by Emperor Daowu and pass it on from generation to generation. After that, he took the national seal from the hand of Yuan Chen, the middle attendant, and handed it to Tuoba Tao.

Tuoba Tao kowtowed to the leader's order, "The son Tuoba Tao obeys the will of his father." Stretched out his hands, took the national seal, his eyes were full of tears, and he kowtowed again. Standing up calmly, with a solemn face, he turned to face the ministers and held the national seal high with one hand.

When the ministers below saw this, they all knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Long live my emperor, long live my emperor." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chitose, Chitose. ”

At night, the East Palace is lit up with lights, the lights are shining, the cigarette smoke is around, and the drum music is noisy, which is really indescribable wealth and grace, and the endless auspicious wishes. From a distance, it looks like a valley with gorgeous red flowers.

Tuoba Tao stood quietly by the lake, standing with his hands in his hands, looking at the remnants of the lotus in the lake. The drums are closer, closer. Zong Ai stood behind Tuoba Tao and did not dare to urge, the wedding attendant knelt in front of Tuoba Tao, not daring to make a sound, but he was so anxious in his heart that he could only be bold and secretly raised his head to look at Zong Ai, Zong Ai shook his head gently, and waited for a while, Zong Ai stepped forward and made an inaudible voice in his mouth: "Your Highness, the hour is not early, don't let the ministers wait." ”

Tuoba Tao said lightly: "Remove the ruined lotus flowers and plant some water lilies." Autumn is approaching, and some chrysanthemums are planted in the palace. With that, he walked away with his legs raised.

The attendants put down a big stone in their hearts, responded continuously, wiped a handful of sweat and followed closely behind them.

The relatives of the Great Wei royal family are thin, and the emperor of the Ming and Yuan dynasties is not in good health, which coincides with a rare happy event, and it is decreed that the ministers can bring their relatives into the palace with more than five grades, making the East Palace really lively tonight.

Tuoba Tao smiled and faced everyone's congratulations. Tuoba Qi put on an old-fashioned look, stepped forward and congratulated: "I wish the prince a happy couple, Miss He is virtuous and virtuous, beautiful and beautiful, and the prince is a talented and beautiful woman, a natural pair!" ”

Cui Hao, who was on the side, listened to it, stroked his beautiful beard, and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, my fair lady, the gentleman is good." The people on the side all nodded yes and laughed.

When Tuoba Tao heard this sentence "My Fair Lady, the gentleman is good", his heart suddenly froze, and he felt irrepressible pain, only a light smile on his face, dealing with the guests who kept coming to toast. Everyone knows that the amount of alcohol of the crown prince is very good, although he is young, but he has always been strict and dignified, quite prestigious, and those civil and military generals do not dare to be too presumptuous in front of him.

After three rounds of drinking, the ministers smiled very considerately: "His Royal Highness the crown prince's courtesy, the ministers have all understood it." Candles in the cave room, the good night is short, don't let the newcomer wait. ”

Tuoba Tao pushed the boat along the water, smiled and made a gesture in the group, so that the palace attendants waited for him and left.

The garden was silent, the night breeze was gentle, the fragrance of flowers was overflowing, and birds were chirping. Tuoba Tao listened to it in his ears, and felt a little cooler in his heart.

After the tedious etiquette of the day, Tuoba Tao felt a little tired, and wondered in his heart that even in the face of the Rouran cavalry, he was not so tired, could he really be drunk?

Standing in the garden for a long time, until late at night, Tuoba Tao slowly walked towards the happy room, his steps were a little vain, but his mind was clear. Standing at the door of the happy room, Tuoba Tao closed his eyes, clenched his hands into fists, and slowly let go, leaving a few deep crescent marks in his palms. There was silence for a long time before he reached out and pushed the door in.

He retreated left and right, and slowly approached his bride, He Sining, the first beauty in Pingcheng. His eyes touched the big red wedding dress on her body, and Tuoba Tao felt even more tingling in his heart, and his heart swept over another figure.

He Sining saw a pair of gold-painted black boots walking towards him, and his heart jumped sharply. originally thought that she was the crown princess appointed by Emperor Ming Yuan, but then for some reason, she was just named a lady. Of course, the East Palace did not set up a crown princess, and she was his only good di. Will it be his only lover in the future? Who knows what the way is? He will be the emperor in the future, with three thousand beauties, competing for beauty. Being able to be by his side is the greatest happiness in this life. Thinking of this, she blushed, lowered her head, and closed her eyes.

Tuoba Tao stretched out his hand, but withdrew it again. He silently looked at He Sining, who was sitting quietly for a while, and finally reached out to gently remove the hijab, and the red satin slid down like water. Si Ning's face was hidden behind the tassel of the phoenix crown, and Tuoba Tao was a little impatient, and reached out to lift her face. Si Ning slowly opened her eyes, gentle and beautiful, her eyes were like water. Gently took off her phoenix crown, took off the golden hairpin that tied her hair, and her long black and shiny hair fell on his hand. He curled a strand of hair, the tips of his fingers touching silky. Tuoba Tao caressed her face, sighed secretly in his heart, and Si Ning's eyelashes trembled slightly.

Tuoba Tao hesitated for a moment, then slowly lowered his hand, turned around and walked out of the bedroom, and walked to the soft couch outside to rest.

The double candles in front of the hall shine high, reflecting the double happiness of the big red, illuminating the room as if it were day. The flame of the red candle rose and fell, flickering and dimming, and the candle tears fell in rows, just like Si Ning's mood at the moment.
