Chapter 27: The Princess's Marriage (Part II)
At this time, in the Taiji Palace, the bright lights are hanging high, and the bright lights will shine brightly on the entire hall, as if it were daytime.
Li Er, who was dressed in a rolling dragon robe, sat upright on the top of the main hall, his face was covered by the pendant in front of the crown of Tongtian, and he couldn't see his true expression clearly.
Under the main hall, the ministers sat on both sides, and there was no difference from the previous court meeting.
However, the only difference is that at today's meeting, there were no lengthy monarchs and ministers, and everyone looked at Zhao Chen, who was standing in the middle of the hall at the moment, dressed in a wedding robe, with an indescribable complex color in his eyes.
Zhao Chen was standing under the main hall at the moment, dressed in a red wedding robe, his eyes were calm, silently accepting the attention of the ministers, and from time to time he looked in the direction of the side hall.
Not long after, when everyone in the main hall was waiting silently, the eldest grandson, dressed in costume, slowly walked out of the side hall with Xiangcheng with a phoenix crown.
Then, he led Xiangcheng to Zhao Chen's side, glanced at Zhao Chen calmly, and then returned to Li Er's side.
Wang Qi, who had been waiting under Li Er for a long time, waited until the eldest grandson returned to Li Er, then picked up the edict that had been drafted in his hand, and Lang Sheng read it out in the hall.
The long edict was all written in classical Chinese, and Zhao Chen had a little trouble listening to it, but he still understood the general meaning, it was nothing more than a god-given fate, a lot of boastful words.
When Wang Qi read out the edict, everyone listened quietly, but Li Er's eyes were staring closely at Xiangcheng with a phoenix crown below, and a different kind of light flashed in his eyes.
As if he was aware of it, Xiangcheng, who lowered his head, also raised his head at this moment. The gaze just met Li Er's gaze, but it was a pity. Li Er's face was hidden behind the Tongtian Changing Pendant, and he couldn't see it clearly at all.
Gaze at Li Er. Although Xiangcheng couldn't see her father's face clearly, he still tried his best to smile at Li Er above.
The edict was finally read, and the next two were Zhao Chen and Xiangcheng, who saluted the emperor and queen at the same time.
The futon had already been prepared, and listening to Wang Jue's command from above, Zhao Chen crawled there and bowed to Li Er and his eldest grandson in a proper manner.
From this moment on, Li Er and the eldest grandson were two. is really his father-in-law and mother-in-law, meet his father-in-law and mother-in-law, what's wrong with kneeling, when he first came to Datang, he had already done stupid things.
Li Er, who was sitting on it, looked at Xiangcheng and Zhao Chen below at this time, especially the hand on his lap when he looked at Xiangcheng. Suddenly, he clenched tightly, and there was a trace of reluctance in his eyes.
And the eldest grandson on the side was much more simply than Li Er, and the Xiangcheng he saw knelt beside Zhao Chen. He saluted them, and he couldn't hold back for a moment, so he covered his mouth and began to cry. And the tears rolled down like beads.
The kneeling salute is finally over. Wang Qi waited until Zhao Chen stood up with Xiangcheng in his arms, and then turned around. Towards Li Er above, he bowed slightly and stepped aside.
"From today on, the two of you will become husband and wife from now on, and in the future, you should respect each other as guests, raise your eyebrows, and work with one heart and one mind!" Li Er's eyes looked at Zhao Chen and Xiangcheng below, and he took a slight breath, and the voice came from above the main hall.
"Micro... The sons and daughters must remember their father's teachings! "It's a bit awkward to change his words, especially in the face of Li Er, even though Zhao Chen has practiced countless times in his heart, but at this moment, he almost made a mistake.
Kneeled and knelt, his mouth was changed, and the edict was read, and he waited until the hundred officials had finished congratulating.
After Li Er nodded, Zhao Chen didn't hesitate anymore, turned around and in front of everyone, picked up Xiangcheng, who was dressed in a phoenix crown, and turned around and walked outside the main hall.
"Second brother!" Seeing that he raised his eldest daughter and was taken away like this, the eldest grandson's heart was like losing a treasure, and he suddenly grabbed Li Er's hand a little uncontrollably, choked and shouted.
"......" Li Er's heart was also a little uncomfortable, and after hearing the eldest grandson's words, he couldn't help but take a breath and gently patted the back of the eldest grandson's hand.
Outside the Taiji Palace, a huge carriage has long been parked to welcome relatives, decorated with flowers, and the team of the princess to marry is parked behind the carriage, including all the dowries in Xiangcheng, it seems that the team is a bit mighty.
The palace people who were guarding next to the carriage, as soon as they saw Zhao Chen coming out with Princess Xiangcheng in his arms, they immediately put down the pedal attentively, and Zhao Chen directly hugged Xiangcheng, went up from the pedal, and gently put Xiangcheng in the carriage.
"Home!" When Zhao Chen put down Xiangcheng, he whispered in Xiangcheng's ear, and when he saw Xiangcheng under the hijab, a pair of fists were clenched all at once.
Got off the carriage, there was a tall horse standing next to it, with a red flower on its head, very happy, Zhao Chen turned over the horse with the help of two palace people, and the team walked out of the palace gate.
As soon as they walked out of the imperial city, Cheng Chumo and the others, who had been waiting outside, suddenly smiled 'hey', and instantly lit the prepared firecrackers, and for a while the firecrackers rang out in unison, and the sound echoed in the sky over Chang'an.
The people who got up early were already waiting on both sides of the street at this time, crowded with people, stretched their necks, and tried to look at the carriage in Xiangcheng, where the shadow was full of figures.
The princess of the Tang Dynasty, for these ordinary people, is almost like a fairy in the sky, and at this time, being able to take a look at the figure of Xiangcheng from a distance makes them very satisfied.
Cheng Chumo and a few people, since they left the imperial city, they have never stopped setting off firecrackers, following the team all the way, and the firecrackers are all over the street, and the sound is so loud that almost everyone in Chang'an can hear it.
In Xinghuafang, it has been lively for a long time at this moment, and the people have already gotten up, and they are willing to wear robes for the New Year's holiday, and they are all changed to their children, and they are all crowded on the street, watching the team to welcome their relatives.
In front of the princess's mansion, it was already a crowd, and the guests who came to congratulate them heard the sound of firecrackers getting closer and closer, and they all came out of the mansion and stood at the gate of the mansion, waiting for the team to come.
Zhao Chen straddled the horse, behind him was a long procession, when he arrived in front of the mansion, with the help of Li Jingheng and a few people, he turned over from the horse, and then, he boarded the carriage, and in a large cheer in front of the mansion, he picked up Xiangcheng and got off the carriage.
The presiding officer of the wedding was still an official from the Ministry of Rites, leading Zhao Chen and Xiangcheng to worship heaven and earth, and then go to the Hou Mansion to worship the ancestors of the Zhao family, which can be regarded as completing the ceremony.
Although Zhao Chen came to the Tang Dynasty alone, there are still ancestral halls in the Hou Mansion, and Xiangcheng is a royal princess.
Now, since he has married Zhao Chen, whether it is a marriage or something, she should be the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, and she should be going to meet the ancestors of the Zhao family.
The flowing water banquet in the princess's mansion has begun, and all the water is the chef of the Hou Mansion, the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and the delicacies of wine and food. Zhao Chen sent Xiangcheng back to the cave room, and when he came out again, the whole mansion was already a lively scene of joy.
"Congratulations on Brother Chen's wedding!" Holding a wine glass filled with cold water, Zhao Chen toasted from table to table, and when it was the turn of a group of young people to drink at the table, the eldest grandson Chong was already drunk, stood up and looked at Zhao Chen, picked up a wine glass on the table, and said to Zhao Chen.
"Rejoice and rejoice!" Zhao Chen's mood today is unprecedentedly good, hearing the words of the eldest grandson Chong's blessing, Zhao Chen hurriedly picked up the wine glass in his hand, let Cheng Chu fill it silently, lightly touched the eldest grandson Chong, and immediately raised his head heroically, and poured it into his mouth.
The wine on the wine table was all taken out by Zhao Chen from the supermarket, thirty-five or six-degree liquor, and when he drank it in his mouth, it was spicy with the aroma of alcohol.
Seeing Zhao Chen drink it neatly, Changsun Chong secretly admired it, and immediately followed Zhao Chen's example, and poured it into his mouth as soon as he raised his neck.
However, before he could swallow it, he suddenly heard Zhao Chen's 'poof', and yelled at Cheng Chu in a hurry: "You actually changed to wine?" ”
"You can't drink water all the time these days!" Cheng Chumo saw Zhao Chen take a sip of wine, and immediately choked with a red face and a thick neck, instead of blaming himself, he opened his mouth, and looked at Zhao Chen with a heartless smile.
"Sure enough, there is a fraud!" As soon as the eldest grandson Chong heard Cheng Chumo's words, he immediately swallowed a sip of wine in his mouth, pointed at Zhao Chen and scolded: "You actually use water to fool people, this matter must not be tolerated, and you will be punished for drinking!" ”
As soon as the eldest grandson Chong's words came out, the gentlemen at the table all pointed at Zhao Chen and shouted, and the loud voices had already begun to attract the guests from other tables to this side.
"Good, good!" Seeing this posture, Zhao Chen dared to defend himself again, and waved at a few gentlemen, and said with a pleading face: "Brothers, don't quarrel, I'll punish myself with three cups!" ”
Three cups is three cups, the eldest grandson Chong was afraid that Cheng Chumo would favor Zhao Chen, so he personally picked up the wine jug and poured three glasses of wine in front of Zhao Chen, and then, slapped the table vigorously and yelled at Zhao Chen: "There can't be a drop left, otherwise you will be fined one cup!" ”
"Your sister!" Zhao Chen looked at the three glasses of wine on the table, and the gentlemen who heard it cheered, and couldn't help scolding in his heart, then picked up the glass, took a deep breath, and all three glasses of wine were swallowed in one breath.
"Brother Shi, good amount of wine!" Toasted three cups in a row, and suddenly attracted a group of gentlemen to applaud one after another, and in the midst of this applause, a sweet and playful girl's voice suddenly came from behind him.
Hearing this familiar voice, Zhao Chen immediately put down the wine glass and turned around to look, and saw Li Yan'er, who he had seen last time, was wearing a pink skirt at this time, standing behind him prettyly, and smiled sweetly at him.
Probably just came over, with only a personal maid by his side.
"Chu Mo, hurry up and bring the little county lord over!" Cheng Chumo has fallen into a stupora again, when this guy was in Lingnan, he looked like a love saint all day long, and he coaxed Duo Li Fangxin Coco in less than a month.
However, since he met Li Yan'er, this guy fell down from the altar of love saints, and it is estimated that when he fell, he was knocked out of his head, and now as soon as he saw Li Yan'er's face, he immediately entered a state of dementia.
Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Cheng Chumo, who had been in a state of dementia, finally came back to his senses, looked at everyone looking straight at him, and scratched his head in embarrassment.
As a result, when this embarrassing look fell in the eyes of everyone, it couldn't help but cause a burst of laughter, it was Li Yan'er, who also looked at Cheng Chumo at this time, and was suddenly held back with a 'poof' and laughed. (To be continued.) )
