Chapter 293: The Wedding

If you are an ordinary prince, you can already be considered a success if you can keep your position as the crown prince. Those who can form their own power in the court like King Xi are all in the minority. And today's prince does not have the obvious idea of winning over the ministers, but when it comes to the prince, no one does not admire it, to such an extent, it is no longer a "powerful" that can be summarized.

Thinking of the scenes where he got along with the prince, Li Daliang suddenly felt that the prince was too similar to the emperor in this regard. As long as you get along, you will unconsciously begin to admire.

Now it is different from the Wude period, although the crown prince has a younger brother King Wei and a subtle status King Wu, but these two have no intention of competing with the prince at all. To tell the truth, it is the most peaceful situation in the court not to form a partisan dispute because of the crown prince. From this point of view, it is almost certain that the crown prince will inherit the throne in the future.

"What do you think, hurry up and eat something now, and when Lao Cheng and them come over, you won't have a chance to eat."

Hearing the reminder, Li Daliang reacted and immediately began to eat. When Lao Cheng and the others come back, they will start drinking together. Cheng Yanjin didn't care what kind of field he was in, and he didn't recognize his relatives when he drank wine.

The banquet here in the palace was very lively, but there was no emperor or empress. The East Palace is also very lively, and it is not a task that can be completed in a day or two to decorate all corners of the East Palace with decorations such as saffron. Because it was officially married, it was the East Palace that received the gift, and the eunuchs in the East Palace were too busy to call, and even the palace maids were called. The warehouses that had been empty in the East Palace due to the bank and harbor incidents were once again full.

The East Palace is very lively, but Li Chengqian, as the groom, is not in the East Palace.

At this time, the emperor and the crown prince were in the Da'an Palace of the Emperor Taishang, asking the Emperor to say goodbye.

It was only today that Li Chengqian learned that when the prince got married, he not only had to worship his ancestors, but also kneel three times and bow nine times to his parents. Of course, the Emperor Taishang, as the grandfather of the crown prince, also has to accept the salute.

Li Yuan, who let go of his last thoughts, is now completely let go, although he is not keen on making children, but he still never shy away from wine and meat, and basically when he sees him, he is drunk.

This is naturally not in line with the way of health preservation, but Li Yuan doesn't care. As the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, his life is wonderful enough, although there are irreparable regrets, but, that's it....

Seeing Li Chengqian in a red robe and the emperor and queen in full costume, Li Yuan, who was sitting on the brocade, suddenly remembered that today was the day of the prince's wedding.

"Erlang, Guanyin, today is the day of Chengqian's wedding, you don't go to the palace to receive the ministers, what are you doing here?"

It can be seen from the title that Li Yuan's mustard for the emperor is no longer so serious, at least in the past, he used to call "emperor" unceremoniously.

Li Shimin smiled and arched his hand and said: "The rules still have to be observed, and if you get married, you have to pay tribute to you, and there can be no shortage." After the ceremony, the sons will go back, if the father feels that he is bored drinking alone, how about coming to the palace as well? ”

The liveliness of the palace can still be felt in Da'an Palace.

Feeling the slightly bitter wine in his mouth, Li Yuan nodded and said, "It's okay, I haven't been to a banquet for a long time." ”

After speaking, Li Yuan turned over and stood up with great difficulty, walked in front of Li Chengqian, patted him on the shoulder and said: "The kid who ate leeks with me back then is now getting married, and I have nothing to give you, so I wish you more children and more blessings!" ”

"Grandpa Xie Huang."

Lifting his robe, Li Chengqian knelt three times and bowed nine times to Li Yuan.

After the ceremony, Li Yuan laughed and told the imperial chariot to prepare, he was going to get drunk in the palace today.

When I came out of Da'an Palace, I saw the defenders of the East Palace who had recovered their marriage rate. There is no doubt that the crown princess Su Yuan has been sent to the East Palace. Although he really wanted to see his wife, Li Chengqian could only accompany Li Yuan to tell jokes. Today, he will also attend a banquet at the palace to thank the guests.

At this time, the East Palace was still very lively, but no matter how lively it was, no one dared to disturb the Guangtian Palace.

The crown princess has entered the East Palace, so the one who will be in charge of the affairs of the East Palace in the future will be the crown princess. Although the crown prince said that the crown princess is also a gentle person, who can say for sure. Therefore, they still didn't dare to be presumptuous, and they didn't dare to make a loud noise when they passed by the Guangtian Temple.

In the quiet palace, Su Yuan was not alone, Xiuxiu was also there. Originally, it was supposed to be a maid who accompanied the bride at this time, but the prince said that the East Palace did not need this set, so he could only symbolically arrange Xiuxiu as the princess's maid.

Obviously, she had seen it several times, but when she saw the album again, Su Yuan couldn't help but blush.

After showing the album, Xiuxiu, who was also flushed, whispered: "It's the rule to show you, but you probably won't need it tonight." Sister Su, I have asked some palace maids, she is too young to give birth to a child, she is really a ghost, and there have always been not one or two people who died in the palace because of dystocia. So, the prince probably won't really be in the same room with you tonight. ”

Su Yuan, who was dressed in a green dress, covered her head in the tent, and said after a long time: "You are right, since Your Highness said that it was for our consideration, he will not regret it." Seriously, Xiuxiu, although I haven't seen other men, I don't think there will be anyone more gentle and considerate than the prince. ”

Xiuxiu nodded again and again, whether she heard about it or actually got along, she found that the prince was really the best person. Not only is he kind, but he treats everyone like family. Obviously, she always missed her original home before, but since she followed the prince, she felt that the East Palace was her best home.

"How uncomfortable it is to stand, Xiuxiu, come and sit, let's talk more, you have been with His Highness for the longest time, you should know him better than me."

Xiuxiu waved her hand again and again: "No, if the slut gets on your marriage bed, it will be bad for feng shui." ”

Su Yuan would not give her a chance to refuse, so she insisted on carrying her to bed.

"Okay, okay, what kind of slut and nobleman, presumably His Highness won't care, tell me, what habits His Highness usually has."

"Hmm.... His Royal Highness's biggest characteristic is that he is kind, and he is not fierce to anyone. There was an old eunuch who was in charge of delivering food, and he accidentally knocked over the plate, and the soup flowed to His Royal Highness's body, and put it in the harem, which was a big crime to kill his head, but the prince just asked him to reflect on it behind closed doors, and the board was not hit. Didn't you see that the old eunuch was crying in the house that day..."

"However, although His Highness will not punish people severely, there are some things that cannot be offended casually. For example, His Royal Highness likes to be clean, and all servants in the East Palace must wash their bodies every three days. For example, when His Highness hates to do things seriously, being disturbed will make him very annoyed. For example, His Highness hates to be deceived the most..."

Compared with the two people lying on the marriage bed whispering, Li Chengqian at this time can be called life and death. The emperor's father gave wine, and this must be drunk. Li Daozong is an elder, although people are easy to talk and can use tea instead, but people drink a bowl of wine in one go, you can't just taste a cup of tea! Gao Shilian's uncle, the eldest grandson Wuji is uncle, Li Jing, Cheng Yanjin and others have given Donggong a lot of face today, and they must be thanked.

Obviously, he was drinking tea, but before the half round was over, Li Chengqian felt that he couldn't go to the thatched house. It's better to drink alcohol, so that you can sweat for a while longer.

Just when Li Chengqian wanted to go to the thatched house for the second time, Wei Zheng, who had never appeared at the banquet, ran into the Taiji Hall in a hurry.

The word Xing Chong Chong is very inappropriate to use on Wei Zheng's body, because this bastard has always had a gloomy face, and now he is smiling more like a groom official than himself, Li Chengqian does not feel that his wedding has such power.

Sure enough, without waiting for the gift to be completed, Wei Zheng said: "Back to Your Highness, between the Vermilion Bird Gate and the Mingde Gate at the gate of the imperial city, the people are rubbing shoulders one after another, and it is difficult to count, all of them are here to give gifts to the East Palace." Kong Lao'er, who was sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to record, couldn't remember his name and address at all, and many people left their things and ran away in a hurry. ”

Hearing Wei Zheng's message, Li Shimin immediately burst out laughing. Even Li Yuan on the side was stunned.

The people dropped the gifts and ran, which was clearly a manifestation of not asking for anything in return, and it was clear that the people were willing to give gifts, which was already a universal pleasure, indicating that the royal family was close to the people. In this way, it can only show that the people are willing to give gifts, and they also know that it will be very difficult for the East Palace to return the gift, so they simply don't even leave their names.

This is a great event, even more exciting than the prince's wedding.

"Your Majesty has won the hearts of all the people, and Weichen congratulates Your Majesty!"

As the best assist player, Changsun Wuji naturally knew what to do, and immediately left the table with a wine glass in his hand, shouting loudly.

Driven by the eldest grandson Wuji, the ministers left their seats one after another to congratulate the emperor.

"Come, take this cup and bring me a bowl!"

After heroically drying a bowl of spirits, Li Shimin laughed: "Come, everyone, if you don't get drunk today, you won't return!" ”

The emperor's words completely ignited the passion of the banquet, and both the ministers of civil and military affairs drank excitedly. Although they want to congratulate the emperor, they can build the Tang Dynasty into the current state of the people, and they also have a share of the credit. Now seeing my hard work blossom and bear fruit, I am naturally moved.

Seeing that the emperor's father was beckoning, Li Chengqian could only walk closer.

"The palace doesn't need you to accompany you today, you should know where to go now."

Erchen actually wants to go back to the East Palace!

I can't really say that. Surrendering his orders, Li Chengqian immediately walked out of the Taiji Hall and walked towards the outside of the palace.

Wei Zheng really didn't brag, it might be the first time that so many people gathered on Suzaku Street in Chang'an, standing at the gate of the city, and there was no end to the line at all.

At the entrance of the palace, various gifts as high as the city wall are now piled up. There are copper coins, gold and silver, and rare ancient paintings. There is no doubt that the only people who can give these away are rich people or businessmen. And the gifts given by the common people are much more chilling compared to these. Either a bag of grain, a bundled chicken, or a basket of eggs. Although he shuddered compared to the former, Li Chengqian still didn't dare to underestimate it. There is no way to measure the value of this kind of thing.

What the emperor meant, how could Li Chengqian not know. As a royal, if your brain is kicked by a donkey, you won't let go of such an opportunity in vain.

There is no way to thank you at the gate of the imperial city, so you can only take a detour to the major taverns and restaurants.

Since getting the news, the major restaurants, taverns and tea stalls have stocked up early. Their decision proved to be a brilliant one. No matter how many dishes the chef makes, even if he just blanches the wild vegetables and sprinkles a little salt, they can be eaten quickly by the guests outside. As for the meat that has been stewed for a long time, there is no need to heat it up again, even if it is served cold, it will be quickly destroyed.

As the most well-known restaurant in Chang'an, Cheng Biting Jin's Zuifeng Lou has now contracted an entire street with heroism, and the kitchen has simply moved outside, and people eat on the table, and when they turn around, they can see the busy figure of the cook.

Lao Zhangtou and Wang Laohan are just the two most inconspicuous of the countless people who attended the prince's wedding today, and now the two of them are lucky to grab the position of Zuifeng Building, and they also ate roast chicken not long ago.

After sucking the last trace of oil and gas on the chicken bones with regret, Lao Zhangtou sighed: "I thought that I could take a look at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince when I entered the city today, but who would have thought that there would be so many people." ”

Wang Laohan quickly pulled the rice chop in the bowl into his mouth, and then filled another bowl before saying, "What do you think, the prince is also something you and I can see casually?" In my opinion, if we can eat a banquet for His Royal Highness, we will not live in vain in this life. How many meals a year can we eat at home? Now that the dry rice is full, and there is meat to eat, I just think it's a bit too embarrassing to send a bag of food. ”

"That's not what I said, you see that Liu Laohan who sells cold noodles, just entertained His Royal Highness to eat a meal of cold noodles, it stinks and is not good, and he bragged all day long about how delicious His Royal Highness praised his cold noodles, if I could also see His Royal Highness the Prince, I would scold him when I went back, but I just saw His Royal Highness, what to blow!"

is old, but the amount of food is not bad, and Lao Zhangtou served himself another bowl of rice. Just now, the shopkeeper of the restaurant came and said, as long as you can eat, eat with an open belly, not only the food, but also the food, if you don't entertain the villagers, they will be questioned by the prince.

After eating a few bites of food, I heard someone shouting: "You folks are participating in Lone's wedding today, Lone is grateful, and replace wine with tea, thank you for your love." ”

"This person is also talking strangely, what a coo."

Wang Laohan turned around and was dumbfounded.

He was not the only one who was dumbfounded, as long as he was eating on the street, he was dumbfounded. They never imagined that the crown prince, who was supposed to be in the palace, would appear here and toast them.

In a hurry, he picked up the tea bowl, and when he saw that the prince had drunk the tea, he hurriedly poured it into his mouth.

It wasn't until the prince left that Wang Laohan and Lao Zhangtou glanced at each other.

"Just now, is it really His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"You saw it, so it's not a mistake!"

"I'm a little dizzy, Lao Wang, you pinch me...."

Even if a restaurant toasts a cup of tea, Li Chengqian is uncomfortable. For the first time, he found that drinking too much water would be so painful, so he had to choose wine, and shamelessly stuffed a piece of jade pendant into the cup to occupy space.

Every time you pass a venue, you can always leave a cheer.

In the past, the royal family has always been high, and in the eyes of civilians, it is similar to the gods in the sky. Now, I didn't expect that the dignified prince would personally attend the toast, although it was only a hurry, but it was worth going to the city today!

Running all over the restaurants in Chang'an is also a physical job, so when Li Chengqian finished toasting the last field, the person was already like being fished out of a water tank.

Zhang Yun said worriedly: "Your Highness, it's better to go back to the East Palace, the sun is about to set, if you stay outside, the slave is afraid that you will suffer from the cold." ”

Li Chengqian, who was already seven or eight points drunk, could only nod stiffly, lay down in the carriage, and was escorted back to the East Palace by his own person.

It was already evening, but people from afar were still rushing to the city. I wasn't moved before, but after hearing about what happened in Chang'an, I still couldn't bear to run into Chang'an City. Although the streets have become much more sparse, there are still people who have not finished eating. In such a situation, the curfew cannot be carried out at all.

When the sad Wuhou leader told Jin Wuwei about the situation, Jin Wuwei also issued the queen's decree, and today's curfew in Chang'an was canceled!

As for the emperor, he was already drunk and unconscious.

Running all over Chang'an was tired and half dead, plus he was drunk, so even if he was in the bathtub, he couldn't help but sink down.

The palace maid who served the prince in the bath could only carefully drag His Highness's head to wipe his body.

In a daze, he was carried into the Guangtian Temple, fed water in a daze, and in a daze, one night passed.

The next day, it wasn't until noon that Li Chengqian opened his eyes.

It's not the bedroom I remember, and I have a soft pillow in my arms. This is strange, this is obviously the Tang Dynasty, how could that life-size pillow appear here.

Just about to check it, I felt a soft undulation.

When he saw the sunshine shining and looking a little dreamy, Li Chengqian recalled that he was already married.

Seeing that the sun had risen outside, I don't know how high, Xiao Lizi also rose without hesitation.

Twitching his hot face, Li Chengqian could only accumulate a little strength and straighten his upper body.

The sudden movement made Su Yuan also wake up, and when she saw Li Chengqian's upper body, she immediately screamed.

"Okay, I don't know what you thought of it last night, but now what are you screaming. Hurry up, according to etiquette, you should visit my father, queen mother and grandfather with me today, it's already rude to get up so late. ”

Su Yuan remembered this incident and began to dress in a panic.

Looking at the beautiful woman who was getting dressed, Li Chengqian suddenly felt a sense of happiness for no reason.

This is his woman, and he will give her happiness as much as possible in the future, although it is a man's shame to be in love with one person in this era, but Li Chengqian is not ready to abide by that set. If you marry three today and five tomorrow, you will not be a big husband, but a high-matching boar.
