Chapter 403: Watching the Ceremony
In March, the spring flowers are blooming, and the auspicious time for the two princesses to get married has arrived.
The happy event diluted the tense atmosphere that had hung over the capital since Zhou Kang's rebellion, and these days, the movement of soldiers and the entry and exit of grain carts made the people of the capital sensitively aware of the imminent war. Zhou Kang is the son of Wenzong, and theoretically speaking, he is also qualified to succeed to the throne. But it's just a matter of theory. Zhou Heng had already sat firmly on the dragon chair, and even the prince was standing. In other words, not only does the throne have nothing to do with Zhou Kang now, but even if Zhou Heng dies a few decades later, the throne has nothing to do with him.
The people of the capital have a very high level of consciousness. In their eyes, Zhou Kang is a chaotic minister and thief, and everyone will be punished. They were afraid that Zhou Kang's rebels would be overwhelmed, and they were worried that Zhou Heng's throne would be threatened, so they always scolded Zhou Kang as a traitor when they talked about it every day.
In this extraordinary period, the princess got married, and in their opinion, the emperor still had the means to deal with the traitors, which was to convey to them that the court was determined to succeed and would definitely be able to quell the rebellion.
Early in the morning, the people rushed to occupy a favorable position on the road through which the marriage procession must go, and some people took the place first, and then sold it at a high price. For a time, the whole city was dispatched, from the palace to the road of honor, the crowd was surging, and the hawkers were carrying bamboo baskets, shuttling through the crowd to sell snacks and snacks, making a small fortune.
The palace was lit up with lights, and the foreign women who entered the palace to congratulate stood all over the main hall of Anhua Palace.
The Queen Mother's illness was good from time to time, and the Yang family didn't dare to let her come out, and she was a widow, so she should be avoided at this time. Therefore, only Cui Keyin was saluted.
Cui Keyin was dressed in the queen's crown dress and sat on the main seat. Wen Sheng said to Yongning and Roujia, who were dressed in red wedding dresses: "Hold the hand of the son, grow old with the son." May you be a loving husband and wife, and a full house of children and grandchildren. ”
If it weren't for Cui Keyin presiding over the harp/palace, where would she get married today? Yongning was grateful for Cui Keyin's kindness, with tears in her eyes and full of affection, and finally turned into three words: "Xie Niangniang." ”
Cui Keyin is her brother-in-law, as the royal sister, she has always been called her mother.
Since the marriage was decided, he has won the wishful husband. Princess Roujia to Cui Keyin. That's too good to say. She was much more talkative than Yongning, and took two steps forward to Cui Keyin, and said, "Roujia must live up to the expectations of the imperial sister-in-law and live a good life with the concubine." May the royal brother and sister-in-law be loved and loved for the rest of their lives. ”
Cui Keyin said with a smile: "Then thank you sister." ”
As long as you live your little life well. Don't bother me. I thank you.
Outside there was a lot of drumming. Quanfu people said happily: "The horse welcomes you." ”
But it was Lu Dingguo and Zhang Lixue's sedan chair that arrived at the same time.
The married girl's shoes cannot touch the ground, and the brothers in the family must carry the sedan chair on their backs. However, the only brother left by the two princesses in Kyungri was the emperor. You can't let the emperor carry them in a sedan chair in front of the Manchu civil and military forces, right? The other brothers are either rebelling and are stepping up their siege of cities and land, or they are thousands of miles away, and it is impossible for them to carry them.
Of course, this question was not difficult for the officials of the Ministry of Rites, who rolled out the red carpet early in the morning, from the main seat of the main hall of Anhua Palace to the threshold of the courtyard. The sedan chair was parked in the courtyard. The two princesses will be married at Anhua Palace.
Zhou Hengde, who was drinking tea and chatting with the ministers in the Jinshen Palace, reported that the sedan chair came, brought the ministers over, first received the courtesy of the two horses, and then met each other with family etiquette, and then sealed the two horses as the four horses on the horse. The two colts, Shane, chanted "Hurrah".
Quanfu said: "The auspicious time has come, please say goodbye to the emperor and the mother, and get on the sedan chair." ”
Zhou Heng entered the main hall and sat side by side with Cui Keyin, and Yongning and Rou Jia said goodbye. Quanfu helped the two of them up, Yongning had not straightened up, he had already cried bitterly, Roujia's eyes were also red, and said: "Imperial sister-in-law, my sister was ignorant before, and there was nonsense, don't take it to heart." In the future, when I go back to my marriage home, you have to let me enter the palace. ”
Cui Keyin saw her true feelings, thinking that she was going to get married, and sure enough, she grew up all of a sudden, but she didn't expect her to continue to be well-behaved, so she smiled and said: "Where does my sister say, the door of my mother's house will always be open to the imperial sister and my sister, when you want to go back, go back." ”
Many of the foreign wives saw that Rou Jialin was so rude when she got married, and they all secretly admired Cui Keyin, it was really not easy to treat this princess obediently.
The Jiang family and the big Jiang family have not been in contact since they asked to see each other at the gate of the palace, and they stood together at this time and did not say a word. Jiang looked at the scene in front of him, and he didn't feel tears in his eyes, their family Keyin finally married off the eldest sister-in-law and the younger sister-in-law.
Da Jiang turned to the side slightly, caught a glimpse of her expression, and snorted inaudibly, his face slightly cold.
Zhou Heng said with a smile: "Since the auspicious time has arrived, the imperial sister and the imperial sister should hurry up and get on the sedan chair, so as not to be anxious about the horses." Hahaha. ”
Yongning blushed and lowered his head, but Rou Jia said coquettishly: "Brother Huang! ”
The emperor said that Quanfu naturally did not dare to disobey, so he hurriedly took the red hijab and covered it for the two princesses. The drums were noisy, the firecrackers rang out in the sky, and the two princesses walked on the red carpet to the sedan chair that had been waiting for a long time.
After saying goodbye to Zhou Heng and Cui Keyin, Yongning's concubine Lu Dingguo and Roujia's concubine Zhang Lixue, walked on the side of the sedan chair, and the sedan chair went out of the gate of Anhua Palace. It wasn't until the sedan chair went out of Donghua Gate that the two turned over and got on the horse and welcomed the princess to the princess's mansion.
Today is the auspicious period for the two princesses, and Zhou Heng ordered to take a day off. The ministers and the foreign women withdrew, or went to the princess's mansion to drink and watch the ceremony, or went home.
Zhou Heng stood beside Cui Keyin, looking at the firecracker crumbs all over the ground, the big red word of joy had not been removed, but he felt cold, and couldn't help but smile and said to Cui Keyin: "It was lively and noisy just now, but in the blink of an eye, it was so deserted, no wonder everyone is looking forward to having a son." Giving birth to a son and marrying a daughter-in-law is very lively. ”
Cui Keyin smiled and quipped: "Is the emperor distressed about the dowry?" ”
This time the two princesses got married, and Cui Keyin added one percent to the regulations. Yesterday the dowry was delivered, and the long queue had dumbfounded the people of the capital.
Zhou Heng pretended to touch his heart and said, "A little." ”
The two laughed and walked hand in hand to the banquet room.
"What are you laughing at?" A cold voice sounded at the door, and the two turned around together, only to see Tang Lun staring at Zhou Heng holding Cui Keyin's big hand tightly, with a very unkind expression.
Cui Keyin Qi said: "Why didn't my cousin go to the princess's mansion to watch the ceremony?" ”
In Gong, he was a popular man in front of the emperor; Privately, he is a royal prince. Lu Dingguo and Zhang Lixue will post him and invite him to come over to watch the ceremony and drink the wedding wine.
Tang Lun has been in an extremely bad mood recently, standing in the crowd just now, seeing Zhou Heng and Cui Keyin receiving the two princesses side by side, his heart ached faintly, and the anger that had been suppressed for many days instantly erupted.
Tang Tianzheng saw that his expression was wrong, pulled him out of the palace, and walked halfway, he found an excuse to get rid of his father, and the ghost sent the god back. As soon as I entered the door, I saw that the two of them were so affectionate, and the evil fire in my heart was rising up. (To be continued.) )
