Chapter 177: The Prince's Wedding

Zhu Biao returned to the East Palace, inside Yun Jin led the palace maid to arrange, and the female officials around his queen mother were also helping, Zhu Biao looked familiar, it should be the original palace maid of Kunning Palace.

Queen Ma doesn't like to keep her personal palace maids for a lifetime, and she usually gives them a good family in her twenties, and they can live well with the queen's face.

Therefore, there are very few elderly palace maids around Queen Ma, and Zhu Biao is too lazy to remember if she changes more, what he cares about most is Ruyi, who accompanied him for five years when he was born.

I heard that she was married to Zhu Yuanzhang's pro-army general by Queen Ma, and was later transferred to a place, and Zhu Biao only knew that she was doing well.

When the palace maids saw Zhu Biao coming back, they all saluted respectfully, Zhu Biao nodded casually, and walked back to the Wenhua Palace, and only here is the quietest.

Liu Jin poured him a cup of tea and said, "There are many matters for tomorrow's wedding, you can rest early today." ”

Zhu Biao nodded, the wedding has actually started yesterday, and even all the places outside the palace have been properly arranged, from the palace gate to the Kaiping Palace, the loess mat road is clean and splashed on the street, and the ribbons of various colors on both sides of the road are also arranged, in short, it is extraordinarily festive.

It wasn't until the night that the East Palace was properly arranged, Yun Jin and Nuan Yu both came in to report it, Zhu Biao put down the book in his hand and glanced at them, and he could see that they were all tired.

Zhu Biao said softly: "Let's go back and have a good rest, don't think too much, when the crown princess comes, you are still my personal girl, as long as you abide by the rules, no one can do anything to you." ”

Zhu Biao said this to comfort them, since Wu Wangfu, they have been accustomed to the simple life of only serving Zhu Biao, and tomorrow everything will be different, this nest of their will soon usher in another master.

After all, they are just teenage girls, except for Yun Jin, who is mature in mind, the remaining three may not have secretly wiped their tears, and it is normal to be anxious about the future.

Yun Jin led them to salute, and then withdrew, Zhu Biao also read the book for a while before going to sleep, he slept very unsteadily this night, this is about to get married, it is really a bit unexpected.

Early the next morning, Zhu Biao first bathed and changed clothes, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites who came to greet him early in the morning received the Jiao ordination in the Danqi set up in the East Palace, and sat in the south and faced north for a while, Zhu Biao got up and went back to the house to change into another set of clothes, and then went out of the East Palace, and the palace people knelt on both sides of the road all the way.

Walking to the gate of Fengtian Palace, the wrestlers who had been waiting for a long time sounded the big drum, Zhu Biao entered from the left side of the Fengtian Palace, and went out of the robe with a crown of heaven and a silk robe, and when he walked into the Fengtian Palace, the civil and military officials dressed and kowtowed, and then lined up on both sides.

When he went to the front, he poured wine for the prince, Zhu Biao knelt down to his father, the emperor nodded, and the book of the Ministry of Rites came out to read auspicious words, and after the words were finished, Zhu Biao took a sip of the wine in the cup.

Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth and said: Go to Yingerxiang, inherit my sect affairs, and pay respect. ”

Zhu Biao replied: "The minister is respectful." ”

Then he went out of the Fengtian Palace, changed his clothes in a house, got into the car and drove under the escort of Xu Da and met with the welcoming team at the palace gate.

And Kaiping Wangfu has already set up the incense case, and then the inner courtyard Chang Luohua wore a Yanju crown dress, followed his father and brother in front of the ancestors on the incense, after the salute, drank the wine in the cup, ate the food on the plate to calculate the ceremony, Chang Luohua changed into a set of clothes to the main hall to bow to his parents, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites took a pen to record on the side.

Chang Yuchun wore court clothes and said: "Go to the inside, be cautious all night, don't disobey the king's orders"

The Lan family on the side spoke: "Loving father has training, you should be respectful." ”

Chang Luohua kowtowed, then got up with the support of the maid, returned to her room to change another set of clothes, and waited for her husband to greet her.

Zhu Biao sat on the carriage and was still a little confused, waiting for the carriage to stop, someone outside knelt down and asked the prince to get off the carriage, Zhu Biao cheered up and walked off the carriage and stood facing the gate of the palace.

Xu Da wore court clothes and walked to the incense table arranged by the Kaiping Palace, standing west and facing east, and said: "The crown prince is ordered to greet him. ”

Chang Yuchun led his sons to greet the prince and walked into the palace hall, Xu Da and Princess Kaiping stood opposite each other, the internal official read the holy decree, and then the palace maid sent by the queen went to invite the princess.

The crown princess phoenix crown is as dazzling as a red lotus, Zhu Biao's eyes can't help but shine, although he can't see her face clearly, but Zhu Biao suddenly feels that the sins of the past few days have not been in vain.

Then under the guidance of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, the two of them completed a series of rituals, and finally the internal officials knelt and asked, Zhu Biao walked out of the Kaiping Palace, and Chang Luohua in the back entered a sedan chair carried by the female sedan chair man, and the people of the Kaiping Palace knelt and sent.

The phoenix sedan chair is carved in wood as a whole, paved with vermilion lacquer and decorated with gold leaf appliquΓ©s, which looks like a small palace with resplendent gold from a distance.

At the top of the sedan chair is a pewter blooming lotus flower, the flower is surrounded by carved ornaments of vermilion gold, and lined with pearls, tassels, pearl emeralds, white jade embellishment, and the body of the sedan chair is carved with many lifelike dragons and phoenixes.

The crown princess can't turn back and can't cry, at this time, every move will be recorded by the Ministry of Rites, and the people in Kaiping Wangfu are the same, everyone's faces are full of joy, and no one dares to cry at this time.

When they were ready, the prince's carriage moved first, the princess's guard of honor followed, and the people watching from a distance were also excitedly saying something, and several female officials of Kunning Palace distributed auspicious fruits to the people.

After the frame left, the Kaiping palace also began to be lively, not only in the big banquet inside, Chang Yuchun also ordered to put a flowing water banquet outside the house, regardless of rich and poor to eat and drink at will, feast for three days.

The mighty team returned to the palace, the internal officials knelt and asked Zhu Biao to take off the shelves, and the princess phoenix sedan chair behind also stopped, Zhu Biao walked to the phoenix sedan chair, and the palace maid on the side knelt down to ask, the prince stretched out his hand to open the curtain, and the princess got out of the sedan chair.

The two of them couldn't speak at this time, Zhu Biao turned around and walked to the East Palace, and the crown princess was going to walk from Zuoshun Gate, and then the two of them took their own sedan chairs and met in front of the East Palace.

Then there is a set of cumbersome rules, and finally you can enter the main hall, the two sit separately, the ceremonial officer begins to sing, and finally the princess first bows to the prince, the prince returns the salute, the princess bows again, the prince returns the salute, and then the princess bows twice, and the prince accepts.
