May 17, the auspicious day of the zodiac. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The people of the central capital got up early, ate something hastily, and went to the main roads of Fuxi Street and Zhuque Street with their families, trying to occupy a place...... Get ready to visit the wedding of the Five Highnesses.

Many who think they have come early will be disappointed...... Because in order to grab a good position, many people took the bed roll and slept on the street last night. When the sky is bright, the woman must go through the way to send her relatives, and she is already sweating like rain and crowded.

Although the smell of sweat was enveloped, the interest of the people did not diminish in the slightest, because there are so many things to watch for today; There are so many topics to discuss. For example, how long is the two-foot-wide red carpet in the middle of the avenue? Is it a thousand zhang or two thousand zhang? For example, will the two teams that send off relatives meet? For example, what will it be like in the heart of the Fifth Highness......

Of course, there are also those who don't have to get up early in the morning to watch the panoramic view without having to sweat. For example, Her Royal Highness Princess Heyang, she ordered someone to remove all the windows on the west-facing side of the seventh floor of Wanli Tower, so that she could overlook the entire Fuxi Street.

Leaning on the soft couch, the cool breeze blowing, looking at the crowd under her feet, Princess Heyang did not feel relaxed and happy at all. She looked north with a solemn expression, where Fengyi Street and Shangshu Street converged into Fuxi Street, and two teams of relatives would also appear from there.

"The fifth child still went to Donglin Yuan after all?" Princess Heyang frowned slightly.

"Yes, Your Highness," Mr. Li said in a deep voice, "At about four o'clock, Prince Cheng's welcoming team still appeared outside Donglin Garden, just before the departure of the family sending team......

Princess Heyang was not surprised by this result...... For a man who is unkind, being able to delay until now has already shown the struggle in his heart, and it can be regarded as the end of his benevolence to the poor girl of Shiyun. Then it's time for Princess Shang to be at ease, right?

Princess Heyang sneered again and again, but there was an irrepressible slight disappointment in her heart, and she irritably pushed the crystal plate on the small machine to the ground, gritted her teeth and said: "Order the plainclothes team, and as soon as the Li family's family sending team comes out, they will immediately rob people!" He added: "Respect Miss Li." ”

"Yes." Mr. Li simply responded.

"Sure enough, there are no exceptions, it's all a raccoon dog......" Ha Yang closed her eyes and stopped looking at the scene outside the window, she felt that she was in an endless filth, as if she was about to suffocate.

Because Heyang was born a little early, I didn't know that a fat man surnamed Su would say a few decades later: 'Something is not seen and heard and guessed whether it exists, but what? Obviously not.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Just as His Royal Highness King Zhou, who was full of gloom, was about to set off, a noisy sound of gongs, drums and suona came from the street, and seven or eight guards crawled in and shouted: "It's finally here!" King Zhou snorted and breathed a long sigh of relief.

The prince and Honglu Siqing glanced at each other, and the two hurriedly walked to the door, looking at the long street, and the big stone in their chests finally fell to the ground. But I saw that the crown on the long street was like a cloud, the flag was unfurled, the umbrella covered the sun, the honor guard and the drum band were in front, the nobles who greeted the relatives were in the middle, followed by the officials, eunuchs, and guards, and the spectators along the way were like a tide, and the procession stretched for more than ten miles.

When they arrived at the gate of Donglin Garden, the honor guard and the drum band lined up on both sides. There are also black-armored cavalry in red robes guarding the periphery, densely packed, so that the onlookers cannot see the situation inside.

The welcoming procession did not stop at the door as usual, but went straight into the garden. The crown prince and Honglu Siqing hurriedly chased in...... Now, I don't care about any etiquette or etiquette, and I can add to the hole and burn high incense.

King Zhou stood on the stone steps in front of the court, looking at the greeting procession with a frosty face, his eyes wandering through the crowd, trying to find out where the bastard was.

But to his disappointment, after the sound of gongs and drums stopped, he did not find the bridegroom.

However, the eldest brother who came to give the gift yesterday came out of the team, gave King Zhou a look, and ordered a group of guards to carry the bride price into the house.

"Playing music! Don't stop! Qin Li said in a deep voice, and he quickly walked into the side hall.

King Zhou's heartstrings, which had just been released, snapped again and collapsed tightly. With his legs limp, he stepped on a cloud and followed into the side hall.

Looking at His Royal Highness King Zhou, who was smoking, the eldest prince said apologetically: "My fifth brother is temporarily ill and can't get up, so he can't greet ...... in person."

King Zhou was mentally prepared, and although he was angry, he knew the priorities...... The most important thing at the moment is how to get this pass, not to make it sexual! Thinking about this joint, King Zhou forced his anger and said, "Then what should I do about this?" You Qin Guo are too bullying, right? ”

Qin Li had already thought of countermeasures on the road, and said unhurriedly: "The groom shouldn't have come to the woman's maiden house to greet ...... in person."

"But he wants to be a princess, according to the etiquette system, he should welcome him in person!" King Zhou didn't have a good airway.

"How is a prince better than a princess? Your Highness figured it out, everyone has a similar status, and it is not a good one! Qin Li bluffed him first, and then discussed in a low voice: "The two eldest brothers welcome each other, and it is not an insult to your Chu State." ”

"Alas......" King Zhou scratched his head vigorously, and said irritably: "It can only be like this......" said and felt a little weak, and said ruthlessly: "You Qin State don't want to repay the debt!" Don't say that Qin Yutian is sick, he is dead! My sister is also going to marry the tablet! After saying that, he flicked his sleeves fiercely, walked out angrily, and tripped over the threshold. After a stumble, King Zhou gritted his teeth and said, "Give me this threshold!" As he spoke, he pushed away the palace people who were supporting him and went straight to the backyard.

He went out with his front foot, and the prince came in with his back foot, glanced at the old man with a sad face, and asked in a low voice, "What the hell is going on?" Although the two don't deal with each other, they can only work together at this time.

The eldest prince patted his head and said with a wry smile: "He ran away, he actually ran away." ”

"Where's the run?" The prince said in disbelief: "Escape marriage?!" ”

The eldest prince whispered: "Halfway around the city, he suddenly said that he wanted to, so he led the guards into a small alley. I didn't care either......"

"Stupid!" The prince seized the opportunity to scold: "You should follow him!" ”

"Ball, smell it?" The eldest prince was also at a loss and did not have a seizure. Scratching his head vigorously, he smiled bitterly: "Who would have thought that there would be a runaway groom?" ”

The prince still wanted to scold, but was interrupted by the eldest prince: "Think about what to do?" ”

"Alas, what can I do!" The prince put his hands in his sleeves, rubbed his hands vigorously and said, "The fifth brother has always focused on the overall situation, why is he so hasty this time?" ”

"Not really," said the eldest prince, taking out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handing it to the prince, "this is given to me by his guards." ”

Glancing at the piece of paper, the prince said lightly: "I see, why is this kid so bold?" Rubbing his hands, he said, "Did you tell King Zhou?" ”

"I was going to be a trump card, but I persuaded him before I could use it." The eldest prince said triumphantly: "He went to the backyard to help the bride get into the sedan chair." ”

The crown prince sighed and said: "The royal dignity can't be ignored, what should be done, let's go." ”

The eldest prince suddenly grinned and said, "I'm afraid that the Shen family won't be able to form a knot." ”

The prince sneered: "You deserve it, who let that Shen Zilan dog take advantage of his power and show off his might?" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and quickly turned their heads away, and the prince said as if defending himself: "I don't have the same knowledge as you today." ”

The eldest prince laughed and walked out of the side hall first.

Walking to the backyard with a black face, King Zhou said to the bride who was hugging the embroidered downstairs: "The auspicious time has arrived, and you can go." The bride went upstairs happily and informed the princess to go. King Zhou blocked the news, and he didn't know anything in the backyard.

Changing into a smiling face, King Zhou also stepped upstairs. According to the rules, his mother's brother has to carry his sister on his back in the sedan chair.

Upstairs, the warblers and swallows, and the stars surrounded Her Royal Highness the princess like the moon, and I saw that the princess was dressed in a red wedding dress, a phoenix crown, and a red hijab had been covered on her head. Listening to the footsteps of a man, the princess lifted the corner of her hijab and smiled mischievously: "Brother...... You're here, and the backs of people are sore. ”

King Zhou smiled reluctantly and said softly: "This is the departure of the head, hurry up and put down the hijab." As he spoke, his eyes turned red, and he said astringently: "After today, I will be an adult, don't be like a child......"

"Brother, why are you crying?" The little princess hurriedly put down the red hijab obediently and said softly: "It's okay if people don't speak." ”

King Zhou took a deep breath and said with a forced smile: "Brother is happy, happy to ...... The queen mother ......, "I just wanted to say, 'The queen mother's spirit in the sky will also be happy' Yunyun, but when I thought of the situation outside, King Zhou lamented in his heart: 'The queen mother will definitely scold me to death.'" He stopped talking and carried his sister downstairs.

Putting the princess in the twenty-four large sedan chair, King Zhou handed a big red apple to her again, looked at his sister who was immersed in happiness, and said softly: "Peace and security, sister." He lowered his voice and said, "If you are not happy in the future, write to my brother, and I will take you back to Dachu." ”

The princess gently shook the big apple with both hands, and said with a smile: "Brother, don't worry, he is a good person......"

"What a fart!" King Zhou's forehead was beating and said: "You left your home for him to go to the country, and he actually ......"

"What's wrong?" The princess asked, slightly nervous.

"Not much," King Zhou wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with an ugly smile: "Let's go, I'll send you." "He can't tell the truth, as the initiator of the Qin-Chu Alliance, if this marriage breaks down, he will definitely be fiercely attacked by the Qi King faction, and he will also be questioned by the Eight Great Families, he must let this family affair continue, continue this alliance, even if it is his sister who sacrifices......

The princess was reluctant to be her brother, and smiled sweetly: "Brother, don't worry, I will write to you every month." ”

King Zhou nodded, got off the sedan chair full of shame, and said in a deep voice: "Get up the sedan chair!" The sound of firecrackers rang out all over the world.

The procession of sending off relatives out of the garden and the greeting of relatives formed together, blowing and beating, and marched in the direction of Fuxi Street......

There are two flowers, one on each branch. The Li family in Dongcheng over there was also a noisy gong and drum, dressed in red and green, and was full of joy.

According to custom, the Shen family did not go to the old man's house to pick up the bride, but sent six brides as messengers to welcome relatives, and carried the sedan chair to the Li family.

Shiyun kowtowed three times to her father and mother, crying.

She was originally lucky, hoping that Qin Lei could come to the moon and take her away secretly, even if she was incognito and had no name from now on, it was okay.

It's not that the girl feels that it doesn't matter if she has a fame, a sedan chair, etc., but that she loves Qin Lei too much...... She thought about it repeatedly, things had come to such a field, and his wedding with the princess of Chu was already on the way, and the absolute advantages outweighed the disadvantages. Since it is of great benefit to him, then she will support it unconditionally, even if it is a big sacrifice.

'Love is giving, even sacrificing. This is Shiyun's faith, and she is willing to defend her faith with her life, honor, and everything.

So she never had the luxury of expecting Qin Lei to give up the princess, she just wanted him to give herself a small space so that she could lean on his arms.

But she was already desperate, presumably his wedding to the princess had begun in full swing...... I have no chance in this life, but I don't regret it.

hugged her mother and cried, and she got into the sedan chair.

As soon as the sedan curtain was lowered, Shiyun touched her arms, there was a sharp makeup knife, she was ready, and she would never let Qin Lei be ashamed. But it's not good now, her father and mother have raised her for so many years, and it is already a big unfilial piety to abandon them, so let's go to the Shen family......

The procession stopped at Shen's house for half an hour, and the sedan chair smoothly carried the bride out and happily drove towards Fuxi Street.

And the legendary royal secret spy plainclothes team was tied into rice dumplings one by one, neatly stacked in the green willow alley, obviously encountering a much stronger enemy than them.

Standing on the Wanli Tower, you can already see the long and short, two colorful teams, each from Fengyi Street and Shangshu Street, and they are about to converge.

Princess Heyang already knew that the plainclothes team had failed, but she smiled indifferently: "It seems that this kid has always been restless." After speaking, he got up suddenly, walked downstairs, and chuckled: "Mr. will accompany the palace to watch the excitement." ”

The people on the street also heard the sound of gongs and drums from the north, and shouted with joy: "It's coming, it's coming!" Then they all looked north to see which sedan chair came first.

It is very face-saving that the two families arrived together...... But the red carpet on the street can only accommodate one person, and the places outside the red carpet are crowded with people, and there is no way to go along. For a while, no one could get by. Those who beat gongs and drums are illiterate musicians, how do they know about national and foreign affairs? They knew that they didn't steam steamed buns to fight for breath, and the two families were on the right side, blowing the horn and beating the gong vigorously, trying to suppress each other's momentum......

It also made the people who waited all morning and suffered from heat stroke addicted.

Looking at the family sending off team on the side, King Zhou said in a deep voice: "Let them get out of the way, there is a limit to Lone's patience." ”

The eldest prince and the crown prince knew in their hearts that they didn't want to be that bad guy, so they swallowed and said: "On the day of great joy, harmony is precious, let's let them retreat automatically." ”

Before the winner was decided, the crowd at the end of the street was in an uproar, and people couldn't help but turn their heads in unison and look south......

I saw a group of knights dressed in colorful lanterns, wearing red cloaks, holding halberds and flags, coming neatly from the end of the street.

When the team got in, the people couldn't help but gasp...... They had never seen such mighty and noble knights, but they were dressed in pure black armor trimmed with gold trim; The sabers are beautiful, the scabbard is made of sterling silver, the riding boots under the feet are new and shiny, and even the stirrups are made of sterling silver.

The horses under the knights' crotches were all pure black, without a single stray hair. The war horse was also dressed in a bright red robe, and after running, it was connected end to end into a sea of red, festive and solemn.

Stepping onto Xuanwu Street, the procession split into two, and every nine feet, two riders stopped and lined up on both sides of the red carpet. The knights in the back continued to advance, standing all over Fuxi Street, protecting the two red carpets in the middle.

The originally noisy street was silent, and even the earth-shattering gongs and drums stopped, and people stared blankly at this divine soldier who seemed to fall from the sky, not knowing what was going to happen.

Just as people were speculating, a twenty-one gun salute rang out over the street. In the rumbling salute, a young general wearing golden armor, hanging a scarlet cloak, and riding a snow-white war horse appeared in the distance, looking particularly dazzling in a black armor.

The knight of the golden-armored white horse, followed by the eighteen generals behind him, rode his horse onto the red carpet. The east wind blew, and the cloak floated slightly, which was simply handsome.

The eldest girl, the little daughter-in-law, and the eldest lady who were watching were excited...... They threw the rose petals from the basket around the knight on the white horse...... And that was originally sent down by the Kyoto Prefecture for them to spread to the sedan chair.

Colorful flowers fell like a drizzle, accompanied by the white horse knight towards the two sedan chairs.

In front of the two welcoming teams, the white horse automatically stopped, and the knight took off his luxurious helmet, revealing a handsome face with a resolute expression.

People exclaimed in unison: "Lord Wang? "Your Highness?" "The Five Princes?" "Prince Charming?"

The crown prince smiled at Qin Lei in a friendly manner, and the eldest prince laughed and scolded in a low voice: "Stinky boy, you are so stylish when you appear." The two of them got out of the way.

King Zhou wanted to say something, but was pulled away by the eldest prince's longitudinal arm.

There was no obstacle before Qin Lei and the two sedan chairs.

It was so quiet, he could even hear his own breathing, took a deep breath, looked at the blue sky high above, and finally set his eyes on the two sedan chairs, one on the left and one on the right.

Is it left or right? It's finally time to make a decision.
