79 Married!
According to the strict weekly etiquette, at five o'clock in the afternoon of the day when the wedding was auspicious, Yuan Yi wore a crown dress, surrounded by the officials of the East Palace, boarded the golden chariot to the Lingguang Gate, entered the Taihe Palace, and knelt three times and bowed nine times in front of the emperor's palace. The officials of the Ministry of Rites had arranged it in the Taihe Hall as early as the day before, and the drums and bells were placed, and the hundreds of officials outside the hall were waiting to see them like court salutes. As the ceremonial officials sang harmony, the emperor entered the palace in the west, sat on the throne, and the hundred officials entered the palace one after another, and worshiped the emperor three times. Then Yuan Yi stepped into the palace in the east, walked to the throne, stood facing the east, accepted two bows from hundreds of officials, and then performed sacrifices. The left hand is the lord, the right hand is sacrificing wine, three worships and three sacrifices, and the remaining wine in the lord is drunk. A set of cumbersome royal etiquette system is done smoothly and calmly, and it can indeed be called 'respectful bearing, strict crown and dress, and far-reaching expression'.
The emperor looked at the adult prince with satisfaction, and said in a deep voice: "Go to Ying'er, inherit my sect's affairs, and be handsome and respectful." ”
"The ministers are in order." Yuan Yi responded, and after two bows, he went down the west steps and went out of the Lingguang Gate to greet him in person under the support of hundreds of officials.
The rest of the princes' faces were quite wonderful after bowing down and standing up - the prince's wedding ceremony was only half a level lower than that of the Son of Heaven, even if they got married in the palace, they were just internal servants singing and singing, going back and forth in and out of Donghua Gate.
The five rate of the government is responsible for cleaning up the road from the noon gate to the Huguo Mansion, by the East Palace chief Ming Ting as the marriage envoy, leading the East Palace subordinate officials 20 people and 88 guards, carrying the red satin around the eight horse sedan chair Zhai car, to the Huguo Mansion to marry, to paste the word horn lamp as the lead, the band honor guard set up but not to do.
The auspicious time comes, the sedan chair Chen Yuyin has no center in the hall, the gate of the Qingyi Courtyard is all open, the men of the Gu family are wearing court clothes or formal clothes and stand in the west of the gate, the female dependents stand in the east outside the door of the Yin Wuju, and Gu Xi is outside the gate to welcome the lord. The sound of music gradually sounded, the prince's golden chariot stopped to the east plane outside the door, Yuan Yi thought about the little girl in the door, showed a shallow smirk, and entered with a goose, and Gu Xi asked three times, Fang walked all the way to the door of Gu Ci's boudoir. Gu Yi stood on the steps and bowed to Yuan Yi, Yuan Yi returned the salute under the steps, Gu Yi retreated to the west side of the door, Yuan Yi faced the north and then released the wild geese, facing the east and so on.
Gu Ci was dressed in the princess's wedding dress, and went out with the support of Gan Tang, Gu Xi looked at her with red eyes, and his tone was very serious, "Respect for the precepts, and there is no disobedience at night." Yuyi on the other side tearfully knotted the colorful silk rope and scarf on her, "Reluctant to respect, I don't disobey my orders all night." ”
Gu Ci walked to Yuan Yi's side with tears in his eyes, Yuan Yi lowered his eyes and saw her teary eyes, directly held her hand, sent her to the sedan chair, and said in a low voice, "Ah Luan, I will be good to you for the rest of my life." ”
Gu Ci raised his eyes and nodded seriously, showed a bright smile, and sat in the sedan chair. Yuan Yi handed her the red silk rope in his hand, covered the light gauze curtain, helped the sedan chair out of the gate, and returned to the palace by himself. The sedan car starts with the golden chariot, the front guard of honor, the lantern 16, the torch 20 lead, the subordinate officers and the guards guide the front and rear. Gu Ci's 100 female guards have entered the East Palace, and 80 people are waiting in the East Palace led by Chamomile, and the remaining 20 people are waiting in the sedan chair.
Gu Yi and Gu Yi watched in disbelief as their sister left home until they disappeared, and then turned around and beckoned everyone to take the seat. Yuyi had already cried so much in the inner hall that her liver and intestines were broken, Zhenyi, Chongyi and other sisters accompanied her to cry, and the female dependents were entertained by the two daughters-in-law of Wu Shenqiu and Ma Jiaqi, and Qin Xiuyong was a pregnant woman who wiped her tears in the house.
It was dark at this time, but the pine lights on both sides of the road were as bright as day, winding towards the palace. The team passed through the noon gate to the Lingguang Gate, the guard of honor stopped, everyone dismounted and entered, and followed the chariot sedan chair to the main gate of the Taihe Palace, it should have been the female official Gan Tang who waited for Gu to get off the sedan chair to lead her into the palace, but Yuan Yi came directly to hold her hand after getting off the car. Yuan Yi took the east steps and said the west steps, and the two slowly walked into the hall, the emperor and the hundred officials were no longer in the palace at this time, and the crown princess seal that should have been given by the queen was honored by the marriage envoy Ming Court. Gu Ci took the seal, bowed three times to the north, and then bowed to Yuan Yi twice, and was held by him, went out of the hall on the east steps, and went up and down the sedan chair. The sedan chair followed the golden chariot to the east palace of the fire tree and silver flower.
The glass lamps in the East Palace are full of red candles with the thickness of children's arms, mixed with various scented essential oils, and there are real flowers and silks on the trees, which are very lively. The ceremony is held in the main hall of the Jingren Hall. This session can be attended by many clan ladies who have been sitting in the hall for a long time. Hearing the gradual sound of drum music, the golden chariot and the wedding sedan chair slowly entered the Yuanqing Gate with the guard of honor, and the ladies got up and bowed under the guidance of the ceremonial officer. The attendants holding the fan and the candle hugged the two of them inside, stood still in front of the table, Yuan Yi bowed his hand to Gu Ci, Gu Ci returned the courtesy and humbly, and then sat down.
Gu Ci's appearance is always easy to shock and amaze people who see her for the first time, especially today's makeup is painted by herself, which is glamorous, completely highlighting her pure beauty and beautiful skin and white eyes. The corners of her mouth curled up without smiling, she didn't care about everyone's eyes at all, and her face was not a little shy, and she didn't feel uncomfortable at all. The ladies who kept talking to each other before the two entered the door are now mostly shut up.
There is a double-layer banquet in the tent, Yuan Yi sits in the west and sits in the east, the two wine cups are connected with colorful auspicious clouds, and the two people drink each other's cups with their arms, which is called the cup. Drink, throw the lamp and under the bed, the two lamps must be one on the back and one together, showing a good luck.
After the ceremony, Gan Tang and Ming Ting waited for the two to enter the dormitory, Yuan Yi changed out of his crown clothes and put on his regular clothes to go to the Chongxi Palace to toast the guests, and Gu Ci sat upright on the bed in the dormitory. The ladies naturally rushed in to congratulate politely and respectfully, and as a bride, Gu Ci didn't need to get up or speak, just gestured with her chin, so that the hearts of people who saw her for the first time were in a state of flux - the crown princess didn't say anything else, and few people could match this dignified self-cultivation.
In fact, Gu Ci only felt tired for a day, and wished that everyone would leave immediately, so that she could strip and take a bath.
Waiting for the ladies to retreat one after another, Gan Tang served Gu to take a bath. Gu Ci leaned against the jade bi in the bath, his face was covered with cream containing pearl powder, egg liquid and essential oil, when the time came, he took the tea seed oil and washed it off carefully, got up and went out of the bath, and washed his whole body with rose mint water again until he was refreshed. She stood behind the screen, her long hair was held up by Gan Lin, wrapped in absorbent cotton silk, and Gan Yu and Gan Ming brought milky white perfume and smeared it on her, only the secret place was left for her to take care of with another medicinal solution. After doing this, she closed her eyes and lay down on the soft couch next to her, and continued to let them massage her feet, hands, neck, ears and other subtle parts, dry her hair, and finally spray jasmine essential oil water on her wrists, neck, behind her ears, leg sockets and other places, before putting on a red bedgown for her, and then sitting back on the happy bed. Gu Ci rejected Gan Tang's offer to let her eat, drank some white water, and let the maids retreat.
Gu Ci endured the strong drowsiness, silently blushed and hesitated for a long time before taking off his belly pocket and shorts-like obscene pants, and secretly took out a set of white cotton bikini-style lace-up underwear he made and changed it into.
When she sat back on the bed, she couldn't help it, and fell asleep as soon as she fell into the bed.
***********************
Yuan Yi didn't have a long time socializing in Chongxi Palace, drank a few glasses of wine, hurriedly returned to the East Palace, changed clothes and freshened up, and walked into the room refreshed.
The maids saw him squatting down one after another, and Gan Tang wanted to wake up Gu Ci, but was stopped by Yuan Yi and asked them all to go down. Gan Tang was afraid that Yuan Yi would hurt Gu Ci, so he stood at the door of the bedroom, hesitated and did not leave, Ming Ting dutifully pulled her away, and the two stared at each other outside the door of the dormitory.
Yuan Yi didn't wake up Gu Ci, lay down sideways, looked at her sleeping face for a long time and then smirked contentedly, reached out and hugged the soft and fragrant little body in his arms, kept kissing, hugged the little person in his arms tightly, and absorbed her warmth, this is the little girl he loves more than his life, and she is his only wife.
