Chapter 101: The Day of Joy
Early in the morning, Ye Nan City, the Imperial Palace, from north to south, the gate of Chang Closed, the end of the gate, and the door of the stop car were opened in turn, and a column of hundreds of honor guards left the palace and marched towards a certain place in the city. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Among the procession, there are foot and horse guards who are draped all over their bodies, officials in official uniforms, palace maids and eunuchs, and ornately decorated four-wheeled bicycles.
Flags were unfurled, drums were played, and the procession walked through the streets, which were lined with forbidden troops to maintain order.
Today's wedding of the Son of Heaven, at the same time held after the ceremony of the Hou book, the emperor envoy envoys, lined up the halogen book such as a big car, went to the palace of the state of Xuan to meet the future queen, its route has already been determined, along the way three steps a post, five steps and a sentry are heavily guarded.
The wedding of the Son of Heaven should be celebrated by the whole world, so where the honor guard passed, outside the forbidden army cordon on both sides of the road, the people of Yecheng were allowed to stop and watch, but they were not allowed to do anything prohibited, and whoever dared to mess around would bear the consequences.
The wedding date has long been determined, and the people in the city know that today is the day of the Son of Heaven, so they bring their families to the roadside early in the morning to grab a place, and the crowds are not lively.
Nine years ago, Emperor Tianyuan of Zhou died suddenly, his relative Yang Jian controlled the government, and the then Xiangzhou governor Chi Yu raised troops against Yang in Yecheng, and later the imperial army and the Xiangzhou army fought a decisive battle in the southern suburbs of Yecheng, and the people of Yecheng took their families out of the city to the edge of the battlefield to watch.
They dare to watch the bloody battlefield, there is no reason why the Son of Heaven does not dare to watch from the sidelines, so today's Yecheng people's enthusiasm to see the excitement is unprecedentedly high, and there are people standing on both sides of the road along the way, and it is more appropriate to describe it as an empty alley.
Yecheng is a famous city in the north, it was the capital of Qi back then, and later it was the capital of the revival of Zhou, as the so-called foot of the Son of Heaven, the status is naturally higher than that of other places, the people of Yecheng boast of being well-informed, even if they find someone on the street, the other party can reveal some "secrets" to show that they are well-informed.
So today, when the Son of Heaven got married, many well-informed people began to talk about the gossip that "others don't know" in the lively queue on the side of the road.
It was revealed that a colleague of the younger brother of the daughter-in-law of his uncle's brother-in-law revealed that the dowry given by the Son of Heaven to the Mansion of the Kingdom of Xuan amounted to hundreds of catties of gold cakes alone, and there were countless other common valuables.
What incense, night pearls, ivory, rhino horn, coral, tortoiseshell, silk and satin are must-haves, and of course there are glass products that are hot now, especially the magical glass mirror (glass mirror) must be indispensable.
Hearing this, another well-informed person began to question, because the fourth lady of the Wei Chi family that the Son of Heaven was about to marry, and his brother-in-law, King Xiyang, could make a glass mirror, so the glass mirror was not a rare object for the Duke of Yuguo.
However, another well-informed person countered that the glass mirror with the Son of Heaven seemed to be life-size, not the palm-sized bargain of the powerful people's homes.
"A bargain? Palm-sized glass mirrors as if you can afford them! ”
"What are you yelling about, what are you yelling about! Is a palm-sized mirror comparable to a life-size mirror? ”
Several people quarreled, and were scolded by the forbidden army who maintained order not far away, and at this moment, the mighty honor guard came over and attracted everyone's attention.
When the breeze blows, a little fragrance spreads to the surrounding area, and many people feel refreshed when they smell the fragrance, while others who claim to be well-informed are arguing about what kind of fragrance the fragrance came from.
However, most people are still attracted by the four-wheeled chariots in the honor guard, which is said to be a chariot that only emperors and empresses can ride, and the decoration is very luxurious just by looking at the exterior.
The two daughters of the Duke of Yu, the sister is the Princess of Xiyang, the younger sister is about to enter the palace to become the queen, and the sisters themselves are the girls of the Yuchi family.
Many little ladies looked at this luxurious royal chariot with envious expressions, even if they knew that it was impossible, but many people still hoped that they could sit in the car today.
Even if it's just a sitting!
。。。。。。
The Mansion of the Kingdom of Yin, at this time is already the queen's temporary palace, outside the main gate set up a felt tent, for the messenger to meet the future queen, all the process must be carried out in accordance with the etiquette system, every step has been confirmed.
The bride dressed in a strict embroidered dress slowly walked out of the gate of the mansion surrounded by the palace maids after bidding farewell to her parents and came to the felt tent.
Yu Chi Mingyue, who was already as beautiful as a flower, now looks more and more dazzling against the backdrop of a full set of queen's outfits, not wearing a red turban, and I don't know how many hairpins, golden hairpins and other jewelry have been used on her head, which seems to be heavy and abnormal, so she does not squint and keeps her head motionless.
Under the guidance of the female officer, Yu Chi Mingyue went through the process according to etiquette, accepted the queen's seal, wore a silk pendant, and then boarded the imperial chariot.
The felt tents were then removed, and the honor guard continued along the street, which was still lively with gongs and roads, and the streets were full of people on both sides, crowded with people watching the excitement.
Chi Mingyue, who was sitting in the car, listened to the movement outside, and was so nervous that she couldn't help wringing her hands, and the female officer who accompanied her held the seal book and kept advising her: "Your Highness, don't worry, just come according to what you said in advance." ”
"Ahh Yes. ”
Today is a big day, Yu Chi Mingyue is very nervous, so nervous that she even forgot what "said in advance", she is going to enter the palace to marry the Son of Heaven and become the queen, thinking that tonight is the most important moment, Yu Chi Mingyue only felt that her breath was short.
The bride's performance was already expected by the female officer, so she didn't say much, so as not to add to the snake and make the other party more nervous.
I don't know how long it took, the noise in my ears gradually disappeared, and the procession seemed to march to a terrible place, and the female officer gently lifted the curtains, looked at it for a while, and then whispered:
"Your Highness, you have arrived at the palace."
"Huh? That, that..."
Yu Chi Mingyue only felt that her heart was beating faster, and she vaguely remembered that she was going to get out of the car after entering the palace, so she tried to get up and prepare to get out of the car, but the female official quickly helped her up: "Your Highness, please sit down, you haven't gotten off yet." ”
The more anxious it is, the easier it is to make mistakes, Wei Chi Mingyue was so nervous that she was at a loss, and the female officer hurriedly whispered to comfort her, the bride was inevitably nervous, but she must not make a mistake, otherwise she and her companions would be unlucky.
The guard of honor passed through the end door, the big Lu book stopped outside the door, the small Lu book continued to move forward, and stopped outside the East Pavilion, and the female officials carefully carried Wei Chi Mingyue to get out of the car, held up the umbrella, and walked along the long road paved with carpet to the Zhaoyang Palace.
There is a long Yongxiang behind the Zhaoyang Palace, there is a palace gate in the north of the lane, and then there is the emperor's harem, which is also where the queen's bedroom is located, and the Son of Heaven has set up a banquet in the Zhaoyang Palace, waiting for the arrival of the bride.
Trying her best to maintain a steady pace, Wei Chi Mingyue began to get nervous, she finally remembered the female officer's teachings, her eyes were slightly downward, looking at the ground a few steps away, instead of blatantly looking straight ahead, so she couldn't see the movement in front of the hall at first.
As the distance approached, she raised her head slightly under the reminder of the female officer, and saw the scene in front of the Zhaoyang Palace, but saw that tents had been set up on the east and west sides of the hall.
In the same prison, the bride and groom eat the same meat, which indicates the beginning of a common life, and the ritual of the same prison refers to the etiquette of marriage.
When the bride came to the front of the temple, she saw the honor guards lined up on the right and left, and saw the throne in the middle, but no one sat on it.
What about the Son of Heaven? Could it be that the Son of Heaven forgot to get married today?
Yu Chi Mingyue's heart was in turmoil, and when she was distracted, the sound of singing sounded in her ears, and then the drums rang out in unison, and the atmosphere instantly became lively, and the umbrella covering her head was suddenly removed, which was a prompt to enter the next step, and she quickly stopped.
The guards in gold and silver armor walked out of the Zhaoyang Hall surrounded by a young man in a crown, and the man came to the throne alone, sat down with great momentum, and looked at Yu Chi Mingyue after straightening his figure.
Of course, the one who can sit on the throne is the Son of Heaven, who is very young and has a good appearance, but he can't see the specific appearance clearly, because Wei Chi Chi Chi Fan doesn't dare to look at each other.
She only felt that her cheeks were hot, her heart beat violently again, she tried her best to keep calm, accompanied by the female official, and slowly stepped forward, according to the arrangement of the master of ceremonies.
After the bride and groom ceremony, it was time to turn to the big tent on the west side of the prison ceremony, Yuwen Qiankeng came over to take the bride's hand and enter the table together, Yu Chi Mingyue only felt that her mouth was dry, she lowered her head shyly and did not dare to look directly at the other party, and timidly leaned out her hand.
"The new Buddha was born...", a voice that was neither male nor female suddenly sounded in his ears, and it was a bit like the so-called male duck voice, "Get rid of the old demons!" ”
Yu Chi Mingyue was frightened, raised his head and followed the voice, but saw a eunuch in the queue next to him suddenly rushed towards the Son of Heaven, and threw an object in his hand at the Son of Heaven before the guards pounced.
A spicy smell came to her nose, and Yu Chi Mingyue watched in horror as the Son of Heaven was splashed with a turbid liquid, and then covered her face in pain and fell to the ground.
The ensuing shout made her ears buzz: "Assassins, there are assassins!!" ”
