Chapter 124: The Joy of the Newlywed
After the procession was rearranged, the sound of gongs and drums, firecrackers, and the ensuing sound of drums and deafening firecrackers made the crowd begin to boil, and the overwhelming scattering of copper coins made the atmosphere rise to a peak.
The most conspicuous in the welcoming team is Nangong Yu, he rode on a high-headed horse with his head held high, a jet-black horse, the saddle was inlaid with white jade, and the horse wore a big red wedding flower made of silk on the horse's head, his face was cold and resolute, and in the face of the lively crowd, he rarely squeezed out a smile, but it caused the crowd to boil even more.
Behind him was Qingyuan and Hades, the two of them glanced at the crowd of onlookers expressionlessly, always maintaining a high degree of vigilance, today is the joy of the prince's wedding, and there must be no business trip.
The huge welcoming procession walked around the imperial city, and finally stopped in front of the Shuifu Gate.
Because two hours have passed since the auspicious time of greeting relatives, the house is almost in chaos, Shui Yunheng is anxious to measure his steps back and forth in the front hall, and his heart is even more worried, suddenly, a family member ran into the front yard in a panic, shouting while running: "The prince's welcoming team is coming, the prince's welcoming team is coming."
When he saw Nangong Yu wearing a wedding dress and riding a high-headed horse, the anxiety in his heart suddenly dissipated, and he first saluted Nangong Yu with a smile, and then looked at Nangong Yu with a touch of kindness.
As a prince, Nangong Yu naturally had to accept Shui Yunheng's salute first, but then it should be Nangong Yu to meet his father-in-law, however, Nangong Yu just glanced at Shui Yunheng coldly, jumped off the horse, flicked the hem of the happy suit, directly ignored his kind color, and walked towards the mansion.
At this time, the Xi Po who received the kiss also entered the water mansion with Nangong Yu, and the housekeeper did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly walked to the front to lead the way for Nangong Yu and Xi Po.
Nangong Yu lost Shui Yunheng's face in front of so many people, and in an instant, it set off a crowd of discussions.
"This Shui family master is really ashamed, King Yu of the people made it clear that he didn't put him in his eyes, today is the big day for his daughter to get married, don't say anything else, just say that his daughter, tsk, cheap billet, he still has the face to marry his daughter, and the willingness of King Yu to marry is enough to give him face."
"Yes, I heard that his daughter yin丨 is extremely swinging, she is simply a fox, and King Yu is also true, why do you want to marry such a water-based Yanghua, a lowly woman, there are many good women in the world."
"I heard that it was a marriage given by the first emperor, who would dare to disobey it."
"Look, Master Shui is not happy."
"Does he still have a face to be unhappy? The ancestors of the Shui family did too many sins in their previous lives, so they would give birth to such a lowly daughter."
"That is, don't buy silk in the Shuijia shop in the future, how unlucky, I heard that a new silk village has opened on the street in the south, and we will buy it from there in the future."
"Well, that is, I will never go to the Shuijia shop to buy silk in the future."
Originally, Shui Yunheng was lost face by Nangong Yu, and at this time, he heard the sound of discussion in the crowd, his face suddenly became gloomy, he thought that Shui Lianyue had insulted the reputation of the Shui family, so he quickly married her off, but he didn't expect that even the business of the Shui family was affected, he secretly gritted his teeth and endured the anger, pulled the corners of his mouth and tried to pretend to be peaceful and natural, turned around and followed into the mansion.
In front of the door of Lanxiang Pavilion, Meng Qiuhe led a group of maids to wait outside the door, seeing Nangong Yu leading the Xi Po who received the kiss to this side, she said with disdain in her heart, the auspicious time of the original wedding has passed for a long time, and she is still thinking about how to humiliate Shui Lianyue, even if the prince does not come to marry Shui Lianyue, then, she will try her best to send Shui Lianyue to the palace, at that time, there is nothing more than this to ruin a woman's reputation, even if the rumors have an end one day, this matter can be hung on her for a lifetime.
Unfortunately, King Yu actually came to marry her, which really disappointed her, seeing Nangong Yu come to her, she put away her thoughts, smiled faintly, showed a touch of love, and saluted Nangong Yu in a regular manner, just about to speak, but she didn't want Nangong Yu to push her aside, and then she gave Xi Po a look, and after Xi Po understood, she hugged with a bright smile, squeezing Meng Qiuhe and a large group of maids aside to make way for King Yu.
Meng Qiuhe's face froze, and she obviously lowered her face, but she didn't dare to say anything in front of Nangong Yu, seeing Nangong Yu enter the gate of Lanxiang Pavilion, she flicked her sleeves and turned around to find Shui Yunheng, and didn't pay attention to anything else.
Inside the house, Shui Lianyue quietly listened to the movement outside, and Chu Yihua had already left the water mansion in the group of maids, the house was quiet, and it looked extremely deserted, is it the same for others to marry their daughters? Shui Lianyue sneered, glanced at the red hijab on the bed, and said lightly to the red tassel: "Cover it, what should come will always come."
After the red tassel responded, she picked up the big red hijab and carefully covered it on the crested crown of Shui Lianyue, and a touch of helplessness flashed between her eyebrows.
With a bang, the door was opened, Nangong Yu walked in front of Shui Lianyue in a few steps, and the Xi Po behind him also rushed up and helped Shui Lianyue, along the way, Nangong Yu didn't say a word, but Xi Po kept saying auspicious words.
Shui Lianyue was silent, let Xi Po support, Hongying followed closely behind Xi Po, sixteen Xi Po squeezed and pushed her to the back, which made Hongying extremely angry, which family of women married like this? She still remembers that in the village before, Mrs. Zhao married her daughter in the courtyard, and the scene was warm and moving, where is it like now? Pushing, pushing, pushing, what it looks like.
Walking to the gate of the water mansion, Nangong Yu walked out of the water mansion directly as if she didn't see Shui Yunheng and Meng Qiuhe, Xi Po helped Shui Lianyue to the big red sedan chair, and when she just sat in, before she could sit firmly, the sedan chair suddenly lifted up, causing her to almost not fall out.
Seeing that the bride had received it, Qing Yuan waved his hand at the person who beat the gong and drum, and in an instant, there was another burst of firecrackers, beating gongs and drums, and the team of welcoming relatives moved slowly, carrying the thirty boxes of dowry of Shui Lianyue, followed by four wedding maids, and went to the palace again.
Along the way, although the onlookers pointed at the sixteen-carried sedan chair, they did not act too drastically, and some women carrying baskets wanted to throw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves at the sedan chair, but they were stopped before they could start to act.
Although Nangong Yu hated Shui Lianyue, after all, it was his wedding, and if anyone dared to make trouble, he would also be slapping him in the face, so he had to give an order before leaving.
Came to the front of the palace, there was a brazier in the open space, the charcoal fire inside was very strong, this is also a wedding custom, Nangong Yu grabbed the reins, turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the sedan chair, at this time, his face was a little colder than before, and when he came to the sedan chair, Xi Po stopped Nangong Yu and said with a smile: "Lord please kick the sedan chair door first."
Nangong Yu frowned slightly, but didn't speak, and kicked at the sedan door as Xi Po said, and then Xi Po handed over a red silk with a big red wedding flower tied to it, Nangong Yu reached out and took it, and Xi Po handed the other end to Shui Lianyue's hand.
Nangong Yu pulled the red silk and dragged Shui Lianyue across the brazier and walked towards the palace gate.
Because of the death of the first emperor, Nangong Yu's mother also died early, so it was just a simple ceremony to bow to the husband and wife, and when she entered the palace tomorrow, she saluted the emperor and Concubine Yun, and then there was a Xi Po who took Shui Lianyue to the new house.
Although Qing Yuan ordered someone to clean Tao Ranju and clean it up, it still showed a chaotic appearance, and Xi Po was also a little stunned, completely unexpectedly that the prince would place the princess who had just married in such an abandoned courtyard.
The dust seems to have just landed, a group of people swarmed and suddenly lifted up the dust, causing a cough for a while, and the Xi women did not dare to stay longer, after arranging the princess, they went down to receive the reward, today, the palace set up twenty tables of banquets, invited many officials and dignitaries, in fact, this qiē is not Nangong Yu personally posted, but Nangong Ling drafted a post and sent someone to send it.
Because Mo Yun had just come to report that Princess Lu Yuan was showing signs of awakening, Nangong Yu didn't say a word and went straight to Ting Lanxuan.
The people who came to congratulate him came early, but they didn't see Nangong Yu, and many people were inevitably a little unhappy in their hearts, but because he was the prince, he didn't dare to say anything.
After the water ripple moon waited for the Xi women to leave, she lifted the red head cover, in addition to the red tassels, there were four maids in the house, I saw that they had beautiful faces, graceful postures, slender and weak, a pair of soft wattles and white and tender, where is this girl who does rough work?
She shook her head helplessly, and ordered lightly: "You go down first, you don't need to serve here."
"But today is the princess's wedding, and the slaves and maids still have to serve the princess and the princess", the four maids listened to Shui Lianyue's words, showing a slight displeasure, and one of the tall maids stood up and said.
Hongying immediately cast a disdainful gaze at her, and was about to speak, only to hear Shui Lianyue say again: "Just keep Hongying alone here, you wait outside the door, and you will come in when the prince comes."
The four maids were stunned at first, then answered, and exited the door with joy on their faces.
Hongying was even more angry, and after the four maids walked out, she said coldly to the door: "Meng Qiuhe really knows how to plan, even the young lady has to calculate when she gets married, and she still wants to climb into the prince's bed with such a good look?" I'm trying to blind her heart."
Shui Lianyue looked at Hongying's annoyed little face, and just said lightly: "You, just know it yourself, this is the palace but not the water mansion, pay attention in the future, don't let people grasp the handle in words and deeds, I am just a princess title in this mansion, if something happens to you, I may not be able to protect you."
Hongying's mouth pursed aggrievedly after hearing this, and muttered: "Hmph, is it great if it is the prince?" The princess of the dignified palace was arranged in such an abandoned courtyard, and there were cobwebs in the corner, he was not ashamed, let people spread it, and the joke would only be him, I really don't know what the prince thinks."
Shui Lianyue glared at Hongying with some displeasure, Hongying saw that the young lady was unhappy, and immediately closed her mouth obediently, Shui Lianyue shook her head helplessly, and sighed lightly: "Since you know, you must remember what I said, so it's okay, he arranged me in such a remote courtyard, I am happy and quiet, and many things are easier to do."
