Chapter 154: Lift My Hijab
Tang Ao drew a basin of water from the well in the backyard, and after washing, he carefully tidied up his hair with the water as a mirror. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
took out clean clothes from the storage bag and changed them on, the Shura Soul Devouring Sword hung casually from his waist, and the whole person looked like a weak scholar who traveled with a sword.
Princess Taiping's wedding venue was not in Chang'an City, but in the nearby WN County Pavilion.
Tang Ao walked slowly, the trees on both sides of the road were wrapped in red satin representing festivity, and the blazing torches stood next to him.
The trunks of some trees show slight burn marks from hanging torches, and the road is paved with a thick layer of loess.
Just such an arrangement, I don't know how much money it will cost, which shows how much Wu Zetian attaches importance to his beloved daughter's wedding.
On the road, you can still see groups of urchins ready to please money, but close to the WN County Hall, there are more notorious bad people maintaining order.
The princess is married, and the bad people are responsible for stopping the people from making noise, and the deterrent effect is extraordinary.
Further on, a group of Yulin troops stood on both sides of the road, and no idle people around the WN County Hall were allowed to approach.
Tang Ao stood in the crowd of onlookers, listening to the whispers of the common people.
"The pomp of the princess's wedding, the old man has seen it a few times, but none of them can be compared with tonight, the emperor's love for Princess Taiping can be seen, it is really a collection of thousands of favors!"
"My husband said this as if we were blind, I heard the rumor a few days ago, Princess Taiping married Xue Erlang, the dowry given by the emperor filled a hundred ox carts, and Xue Er married the princess of the golden branches and jade leaves, which is considered to be completely developed!"
"Xue Er is not a flat-headed commoner, what is developed or underdeveloped, but he is the nephew of the former emperor, the son of Princess Chengyang, it is not bad to be close to each other."
"That's a mistake! My lord heard that this marriage was almost ruined, because the emperor disliked the Xue family's sister-in-law Xiao's family from a lowly and humble family, and was not qualified to become a concubine with Princess Taiping, and once forced Xue Dalang to divorce his wife and remarry, but later I don't know why he gave up again. ”
"How can the Xiao family be a lowly and humble family? Isn't it from the Lanling Xiao family? ”
There is a tendency for whispers to gradually become louder.
The bad man shouted: "The old miscellaneous still can't stop talking? The skin is itching, the whip in your uncle's hand is fading out of the bird, and he doesn't want to be full of flowers, so he closes his mouth quietly. ”
The shouting and scolding of the bad people made the surroundings silent, and I don't know which bold guy suddenly shouted: "Look, everyone, the wedding car is coming!" ”
People watched one after another, only to see the wedding car carried by 128 people moving slowly on the official road paved with loess.
The wedding car was wrapped in red satin, and it was impossible to see the situation inside.
Around the wedding car stood a young palace maid, holding a flower basket.
The baskets of flowers were filled with gold and silver money, and from time to time a handful of handfuls were scattered to attract the joy of the people and children.
Behind the wedding car, drums sounded, played and sang, and then there was a long queue to welcome relatives.
One of them was most conspicuous in the light of the torches, dressed in auspicious robes, with red and green ribbons tied around his chest, and rode a tall horse with high spirits.
It is Xue Shao, the second lang of the Xue family who has had a relationship with Tang Ao.
Xue Shao has been in love with Princess Taiping for a long time, and once confessed his feelings in front of Princess Taiping, but unfortunately he did not get a response from Princess Taiping.
When he was hurt by love, he turned around, and the Empress of Heaven actually appointed him as a concubine, which made him almost think that he was in a dream.
Looking at the unusually wide wedding car in front of him, thinking of the delicate beauty in the wedding car, his mouth couldn't close no matter what, and he almost grinned to the back of his head.
The wedding was originally a very festive event, and the court also created an extremely good atmosphere with the idea of enjoying with the people.
But no one thought that a small thing would make the wedding almost impossible to go on.
Princess Taiping's wedding car was so big that it couldn't pass through the gate of the WN County Pavilion, which suddenly made the officials in charge of the wedding sweat in a cold sweat.
If there is such a mistake, if someone is sued for a copy, it is a trivial matter to lose the black gauze hat, and if you don't get your head right, you will move!
Someone had a bad idea, since the wedding car can't pass through the gate of the WN County Pavilion, it is better to tear down the wall of the WN County Pavilion.
In a hurry, the official in charge immediately ordered the wall to be demolished.
The demolition of the wall on the wedding day is not a good omen, and the onlookers are talking about it.
It is a proverb that it is better to demolish ten temples than to break a marriage, and watching the wide wedding car pass through the ruins and broken walls, it always makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
The etiquette of a princess's wedding is very different from that of ordinary people, but some customs cannot be avoided.
Xue Shao was also tired of tearing down the wall of the WN County Pavilion in his heart, but he quickly put his displeasure behind him and rode a tall horse to the wedding car.
Raising his hand to lift the red silk curtain, the phoenix crown under the big red hijab was faintly visible, and he stammered with joy and nervousness, not knowing what to say.
Fortunately, someone else reminded Xue Shao's rude behavior, and the four festively dressed palace maids helped Princess Taiping to the main hall.
The drums are getting louder and louder, and the sound of firecrackers is even louder.
Xue Shao's handmaiden is his friend Xue Chongguang, and he is still Xue Shao's son and nephew in terms of seniority, but the two branches can only be regarded as relatives who can't be beaten by eight poles for a long time.
There is nothing wrong with being a concubine, it is Xue Chongguang who reminds Xue Shao not to get carried away.
Don't look at Xue Shao is the nephew of the former emperor Gaozong, but now it is not as good as in the past, and the Tang Li family is about to disappear.
If others are allowed to pick out the thorns, Xue Shao's life will not be easy.
Although Xue Chongguang had never seen Princess Taiping, he had heard a little about Princess Taiping's temperament.
Uncle Xue Kegou once said that marrying a woman to get a princess and buying an official mansion on flat land has the old story of Princess Pingyang in the distance, and recently the princess of Xincheng died of illness, and the horse was slaughtered and died.
Throughout the Sui and Tang dynasties, few people have had a good death, so he reminded Xue Shao not to be arrogant.
Because of the consequences of annoying Princess Taiping, the entire Xue family couldn't afford it.
Xue Shao listened to Xue Chongguang's words, and secretly blamed himself for indeed letting go of the skeleton in pride, and immediately urged to complete the welcoming ceremony as soon as possible, so as to take Princess Taiping back to the Horse Mansion.
However, the princess's wedding follows the ancient rites, and the process is very cumbersome and tiring, no matter how much Xue Shao urges, he still has to do it step by step.
Xue Shao can wait, tonight is destined to have a beautiful thing waiting for him in the cave room and candle night.
Tang Ao couldn't wait, if the welcoming ceremony was completed, Princess Taiping would become the daughter-in-law of the Xue family, which was not what Taiping wanted.
Tang Ao walked out of the crowd and walked step by step to the hall of the WN County Pavilion.
The bad guy who blocked him felt that Tang Ao looked familiar, and then exclaimed loudly: "Good thief, isn't this the chaotic minister Tang Ao......"
The Yulin Army standing on both sides heard the shouts of the bad guys, and they all took out their swords and bows to string them.
But before they could surround Tang Ao, Tang Ao was lost in front of him.
The candles in the wedding hall are bright, and the festive colors are set off.
Tang Ao turned a blind eye to others, and walked a few steps to the princess of Taiping, who was crowned with a phoenix.
Reaching out to hold the slender hand in the wide sleeve, he said softly: "If you don't like something, no one in the sky and on the earth dares to persecute you, unless you step on Tang Ao's corpse to do it." ”
The sudden change made the wedding fall into chaos, especially the spoiler, most of the people present had seen it, the former Huangmen squire, and now Tang Ao, the backbone of the Yangzhou rebels.
For a while, people shouted and became a pot of porridge.
Xue Shao was stunned, and his mind immediately became congested and faint: "Tang Ao, you dare to do this?" ”
Xue Shao confessed his admiration for Princess Taiping, and when he was rejected, he knew that the princess belonged.
I once guessed who made Taiping Gong take the initiative, but now I don't have to guess to know.
Tang Ao looked at Xue Shao sideways, and said in a calm tone: "What Ling Yue doesn't like, as long as Tang Ao is still alive, there is nothing to dare or dare to, I can't help Brother Xue." ”
Tang Ao had no ill feelings towards Xue Shao, and could only say sorry for ruining Xue Shao's marriage.
"Let's go!"
Tang Ao not only ignored Xue Shao, who was glaring angrily, but also ignored the more than 1,000 Yulin troops gathered in an array.
Since he is here today, no matter what difficulties he faces, he will complete the set goal, and he can't let Princess Taiping suffer the slightest grievance.
Tang Ao took Princess Taiping's hand, Princess Taiping didn't move, as if she was looking at Tang Ao through the hood, and said quietly after a while: "Lift my hijab." ”
The bride's hijab is lifted above the wedding hall, which is the privilege of the groom's official candle night.
Xue Shao's forehead jumped when he heard this, if Tang Ao really dared to lift Princess Taiping's hijab, he swore that he would never die with Tang Ao.
Because such humiliation is simply more unbearable than killing him.
Tang Ao didn't care what other people thought in their hearts, and raised his hand to remove the red hijab that looked like a fire.
The moment the red hijab was unveiled, the warm fragrance of nephrite entered the arms.
Then the pain of the cone hit the heart, and then look at the pretty woman under the red hijab, where is the Taiping princess Li Lingyue.
"Tang Daoyou's infatuated concubine admires it, but unfortunately I can only say sorry."
The dagger in Bian Suyun's hand completely sank into Tang Ao's heart, and he flew away with a smile.
Tang Ao looked at the dagger pierced into his heart, this was a vicious magic weapon called the Lying Silver Toad, and the blade was coated with poison.
The toxic domineering made Tang Ao feel paralyzed all over his body, and Bian Suyun in front of him turned into a ghost.
Xue Shao looked stupidly at the look of the looking Mei Jiao Niang, and said helplessly: "Who are you?" What about the princess? ”
No one answered Xue Shao's doubts, because a dense mist rose inside and outside the WN County Pavilion, including him, and the idle people were all pushed out by an invisible force.
Looking at the WN County Pavilion again, it was shrouded in fog, and when the fog dissipated, the place was empty, and the huge building actually disappeared out of thin air.
Tang Ao froze in place, the time and space around him changed, how could he not know that he had fallen into the formation.
In addition to Bian Suyun, who pretended to be Princess Taiping and stabbed him with a dagger, there were also eight foundation building period cultivators such as Sima Chengzhen around, as if they were the standing positions of the Nine Palaces Bagua Array.
"Is Ling Yue okay?"
Tang Ao pulled out the lying silver toad as if nothing happened, and the blood spurted out was purple-black, not caring about his own injuries, and looking directly at Bian Suyun.
Bian Suyun was stunned, and finally knew why Princess Taiping cared about Tang Ao.
Tang Ao was trapped in the Nine Palaces Array despite the poison in his body, but he was still worried about the safety of Princess Taiping, and Bian Suyun didn't know whether to grieve or rejoice for Princess Taiping.
