Early in the morning of the eighth day of the eighth month of August, it was just dawn, and Xiao said: / She still has a lot of things to do on this day, and she can't sleep lazy. Fortunately, she went to bed early last night, rested quite well, and now looks very good.

Now is not the time for her to dress up and dress up for her wedding dress. After she finished grooming, she changed into a red and gold embroidered lotus pattern brocade jacket, an official green woven gold horse face skirt, and an ordinary lady's dress, first followed her grandmother Zhang, brother Zhao Wei, and sister-in-law Mi Yingzhi to the ancestral hall.

After laying the wine in front of the ancestral tablet and the parents' spirits, and reading the blessings, Zhao Xiu's family of four returned to the main hall of the Hou Mansion. Zhao Xiu, under the guidance of Mama Gong and Mama Zuo, bowed four times to her grandmother Zhang who was sitting on the right seat. Her parents died early, and the only one who could receive her gift at this time was Zhang.

Zhang received the salute, and somehow his originally happy face suddenly shed tears, choked up and said what he wanted to say: "Go to the daughter's house, take obedience as the right, and never forget to be solemn...... You must be respectful, do not disobey your aunt's orders......" After speaking, she became more and more uncomfortable, because she remembered that these words should have been said by Zhao Zhuo and Mi Shi, who were Zhao Xiu's parents, when her granddaughter got married, but now she can only do it alone. The poor granddaughter was so young that she finally grew up to get married. Now how good her granddaughter is, tall and slender, melon seed face, bright eyes and bright teeth, not to mention how cute she is, wearing this red dress today, she is becoming more and more beautiful. It's a pity that the son and daughter-in-law can't see it.

Zhao Wei stood aside, seeing that Zhang's was like this, he felt a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly persuaded: "Grandmother, don't be sad, today is a big day!" Mi Yingzhi also hurriedly stepped forward to wipe her tears for her mother-in-law. Zhao Xiu was listening to the training solemnly, and when he heard the words, he raised his head, only to know that his grandmother was crying, and he guessed her thoughts in his heart. Then he persuaded softly: "Grandmother, don't be sad, the granddaughter has just saluted her father and mother, and they must be happy for the granddaughter." ”

Zhang nodded with a tearful smile: "I know, in fact, I am too happy to cry." You have to remember what your grandmother just said, and after marrying into the Guangping Palace, respect your father-in-law. Good life and life with the son. You grew up together. The prince has always been tolerant of you, but you can't rely on the past to act willfully and rudely. between husband and wife. We should respect and love each other in order to be happy. ”

Zhao Xiu smiled and agreed.

She said goodbye to her grandmother and brother and sister-in-law again, and then, supported by the two grandmothers, she withdrew from the main hall and returned to her courtyard. changed into Zhai clothes and Zhai Guan, and reapplied makeup. By this time it was already dawn outside. Outside, the music started, the voices of people were boiling, and the relatives and friends who sent them off arrived one after another, just waiting for the groom to come to greet them.

The Zhao family's Jiao ordination ceremony is over. In the palace, Gao Zhen was also wearing a crown and performing the Jiao ring ceremony. The emperor took Gao Zhen as the emperor's nephew and the eldest grandson of the first emperor. He was specially allowed to perform the Jiao precept ceremony in the palace, so that the Queen Mother and King Guangping could receive the ceremony with him. This is not the dignity that ordinary clan children can have. King Quang Binh gladly accepted. The Queen Mother is also happy that the two sons have finally reconciled, as long as they can continue to be brothers, friends and brothers, what is she worried about in the future? Watching her eldest grandson make a big gift to herself, after today's wedding, she will be an adult, maybe in two years, she will be able to hold her great-grandson. Thinking of this, the Queen Mother smiled even more happily.

The concubine who had just come out of confinement was also dressed in auspicious clothes, standing beside the Queen Mother with a smile on her face, and saying a few auspicious words from time to time. She felt empty, and because she gave birth to a princess, the new queen was about to enter the palace in half a year, she didn't know what her fate would be in the future, compared to the past, she was more and more supple and low-key, and she only hoped to please the queen mother and the emperor, and she could get along with the new queen in the future. The so-called careful thinking is that I dare not have it anymore.

At the end of the Jiao ring ceremony, Gao Zhen changed his crown, changed into a leather suit, went out from the east gate of the noon gate, boarded the wheel, took a full set of honor guards, and played ceremonial music all the way to Jiannan Hou Mansion to greet him.

Today's ceremonial official is the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites who personally went out, and there are two five-rank officials in the palace as ushers, and the officiant is Taifu Shangqiubo, who is very decent, and the specifications are only a little worse than the marriage of the crown prince.

Gao Zhen got off the carriage in front of the gate of the Jiannan Hou Mansion, and a courtesy official entered the door of the mansion, went straight into the main hall, and announced to the officiant: "The prince of Guangping is under the system, and he welcomes the courtesy." Then the officiant walked out of the gate, welcomed Gao Zhen in, and went straight into the main hall of the front yard, and the official accompanied him with gifts such as knightly silks.

At this time, Zhao Xiu, who was waiting for news in his yard, got the news from Yahuan, hurriedly checked his clothes, and was ready to get up and go to the main hall. Fang Renzhu, Miss Jiang Liu, and several nieces and nieces of the clan had been talking to her all the time, and they were also following her to watch the excitement at this time. Zhao Xiu was still a little nervous, and he didn't know what he would be like when he saw Gao Zhen for a while, but listening to the funny words of his nieces, he was also a lot more relaxed, but his heart was still beating fast.

Mama Zuo was dressed in a female official uniform and stood beside her. Today, she and Mama Gong are going to take on the duties of deacos and have been by Zhao Xiu's side. She is the most amiable and smiling character, seeing that Zhao Xiu was nervous, she smiled and comforted her: "The princess doesn't have to be nervous, just follow our guidance for a while." You've been practicing for more than a year, and you can do it well with your eyes closed, but can you still make mistakes? ”

Mama Gong also nodded: "The princess has already memorized the wedding etiquette, so don't worry." ”

Zhao Xiu naturally knew what he was going to do next, but the nervousness was not something he could control. But thinking that she would be able to see Gao Zhen in a while, she took a few deep breaths and felt much calmer. I don't know where she got her confidence, as long as Gao Zhen is there, she can't make any big mistakes, everything has him.

Mama Gong listened carefully to the movement in the direction of the front yard, and after a while, a mother-in-law clapped her hands at the door of Zhao Xiu's courtyard, and Mama Gong immediately said to Zhao Xiu: "The front is already good, please move the princess." ”

Zhao Xiu paused, took a steady step, and slowly walked towards the front yard. She walked very steadily along the way, the long bead knots of the two golden phoenix hairpins on Zhai Guan's crown hung on the sides of her temples, and she didn't shake for a moment, and the xia curtain on Zhai's clothes only swayed gently with her steps, without letting the wind blow a corner. The whole body, from head to toe, is about the bead drop in the mouth of Qizhai on the crown, and there is a slight swaying. Mama Gong and Mama Zuo accompanied them all the way, and they were very proud to see the results of their teaching for more than a year.

Although the eldest girl of the Hou family in Jiannan has a slightly jumpy temperament. But now she is a very dignified and stable princess, and no matter who looks at it, she can't find anything wrong. They were ordered by the Queen Mother to come to the Zhao family, and finally lived up to the Queen Mother's trust.

In the main hall of the front yard, the officiant, Mrs. Shang, was already standing where he should stand, which was east of the main hall. Zhang was dressed in the crown of the duchess of the county and stood on the west side. Stand opposite Shang Taifu. The contour stood still in the hall. Mama Gong and Mama Zuo just helped Zhao Xiu, who was wearing the dress of the prince's princess Zhai Yi, to walk out of the back hall and stand under Zhang's head.

Gao Zhen's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but stare at his bride. Zhao Xiu was wearing a big red shirt. Wearing a crown on his head, a jeweled treasure on his body. The delicate face is surrounded by pearls and emeralds, and it looks more and more bright and moving. Gao Zhen couldn't help but show a hint of joy.

Zhao Xiu seemed to feel something, and quietly glanced in Gao Zhen's direction. Seeing him staring at himself, his face couldn't help but turn red. Hurriedly lowered his head.

Mama Gong reminded her in a low voice: "Princess, don't hang your head too low, your bead knot is shaking." ”

Zhao Xiu had to slowly raise his head again, so as not to shake the bead knot again. But this inevitably leads to Gao Zhen's gaze again. She pursed her lips, resisting the desire to snicker, and only turned her eyes in other directions. Avoid Gao Zhen's line of sight.

Mama Gong glanced in Gao Zhen's direction, and Gao Zhen quickly turned her head. The face is as if nothing happened, not to mention how dignified and serious the posture is.

The internal official didn't know that there had been a round of eye contact between the bride and groom today, so he acted according to the rules and quietly, and whispered to Gao Zhen to move to the front of the case. When Gao Zhen stood still, the internal officials who accompanied him presented the plate in his hand to him, and it was filled with silk gifts. Gao Zhen put the plate on the table and retreated to the east first. The officiant, Mrs. Shang, went to the case and bowed eight times, and then returned to his original position. The deacon's officials removed the silk case, and the inductor invited Gao Zhen out of the main hall.

At this time, the female sedan chairmen carefully selected by the Jiannan Hou Mansion had already carried the Zhai sedan chair to the middle gate of the Jiannan Hou Mansion, and the internal officials were waiting outside the middle gate with a full set of honor guards for the princess, just waiting for Zhao Xiu to move to the sedan chair.

Zhao Xiu paused, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at his grandmother Zhang. Zhang's eyes were red, and he nodded to her with a smile: "Go ahead." Remember, live your life well. Zhao Xiu turned his head to look at his brother Zhao Wei and sister-in-law Mi Yingzhi who were standing by the door, and they all had reluctant smiles on their faces. She couldn't help but have a sour nose and almost burst into tears. It was only when Mama Gong reminded her again that she couldn't help it, bowed her head slightly, and walked out of the main hall with the support of Mama Gong and Mama Zuo.

The inner palace knelt down and invited Gao Zhen to the sedan chair, Gao Zhen glanced at Zhao Xiu, smiled and lifted the sedan curtain with his own hands. Zhao Xiu looked at him, and the sourness in his heart suddenly disappeared, leaving only sweetness and joy. The two looked at each other and smiled, and Zhao Xiu bent down and sat in the sedan chair. The sedan curtain was lowered, separating the sight of the two, and Zhao Xiu could still see Gao Zhen's behavior outside the sedan chair through the gap in the curtain.

The inner palace knelt down again and asked Gao Zhen to rise, Gao Zhen got on the wheel, and set off to return to the palace. Zhao Xiu's Zhai sedan chair guard of honor followed. Along the way, there were officers and soldiers, internal officials, and women escorted the way, and the salutes and music did not stop. The onlookers in the three layers and the outer three floors, everyone did not dare to make a loud noise, but they couldn't help but whisper. It's been a long time since I've seen this kind of excitement for many years. The last time there was a royal wedding of this scale, it was when King Quang Binh married his wife.

When the team came to Chengtian Gate, Gao Zhen got out of the car, first went to change his clothes, changed his leather clothes, put on his crown again, and went to wait in front of the Fengxian Hall first. When Zhao Xiu's sedan chair arrived, without waiting for the inner palace to kneel and invite, he took the initiative to walk to the sedan chair and lifted the curtain, and personally helped his bride out.

The little couple glanced at each other and smiled sweetly. The internal officials watched from the sidelines, and only felt that they were very redundant.

Gao Zhen and Zhao Xiu came to the temple to pay homage. When folk couples get married, they go to the ancestral hall of their husband's family after marriage, but the royal temple ceremony is performed on the wedding day, and the rules are very different.

The internal officials had already set up the animal liquor and silk, and led the young couple from Emperor Taizu and Empress Yuan, and then to the first emperor successively, and bowed down. The Great Chu Dynasty has only been established for decades, and now it is only the third emperor in the court, so there are not many tablets for them to worship, and it will soon be over. When they walked out of Fengxian Palace, Zhao Xiu was already the rightful princess of Guangping and the Gao family. When Gao Zhen thought of this, he was very happy in his heart. took Zhao Xiu's hand and said, "Let's go back to the palace, the next ceremony will not be held in the palace." ”

Zhao Xiu's face was hot when he heard it, and he lowered his head and whispered.

Behind her, Mama Gong stared at the hands held by the two of them, and stopped talking. Mama Zuo tugged at her sleeve and glanced at her several times before she could hold back.

Let's go, Heng and Zhu are newlyweds, and it's nothing to be intimate. The Queen Mother and the Emperor are not there, and the King of Guangping also accompanied the Queen Mother to fulfill her filial piety, and there are no foreign officials present, so no one will gossip.

The newlywed Guangping prince and his wife drove back to the Guangping Palace, the palace and the palace have been lit up with lights, lively, the guests have arrived, and they are all waiting in the front yard of the Shizi Courtyard. Gao Zhen got out of the car, walked straight to Zhao Xiu's sedan chair again, helped people down from the sedan chair, and took Zhao Xiu's hand all the way into the main hall, causing the guests to coax in unison. He looked calm, but Zhao Xiu's face couldn't help but get hotter and hotter. She tried to break free of his hand, but he held her tightly and couldn't break free, so she had to be cheeky and let him pull her into the main hall.

The officials have set up the seats of the wine table, the lord and the prince, and the princess in the hall. Gao Zhen and Zhao Xiu stood on the worship seat in the east and west, and after bowing twice, they each sat in their seats. The female officer gave them food and drink, and they drank and ate the food together, and then the female officer brought the wine and the food again. After three times, the ceremonial officer removed the liquor case. Gao Zhen and Zhao Xiu got up and bowed twice to each other.

With the praiser's "salute", Gao Zhen straightened his waist and looked at his new wife. Zhao Xiu also looked up at him, the two looked at each other, smiled softly, and everything was silent. (To be continued)
