Chapter XXVIII
After their early agreement, the wedding ceremony of the Hainan palace was different from the royal wedding of the Qing system. The little prince personally rode a horse to welcome his relatives and pick up the bride. The Qing royal wedding [six ceremonies, four days back to the door] was all waived, everything was simple, but the return door was changed to the next day.
Therefore, the little prince, accompanied by four palace officials, rode a tall horse and walked in the procession to greet his relatives. Because the little prince's horses are the tallest and the most eye-catching, he can be seen from afar in the procession of greeting relatives.
Zhang Yaru hid in the crowd, looked at the welcoming horse team, and imagined that if Chen Hainan rode a high-headed horse to Zhang's mansion to marry him, what a romantic thing it would be!
This beautiful fantasy made Zhang Yaru completely immersed in the imagination of happiness, and this happiness made her almost forget everything around her.
She imagined herself wearing a white Western-style wedding dress, Chen Hainan holding her hands, a pair of golden boys and girls holding flowers, sending them angelic blessings, and the priest holding a Bible and reciting the oath of the gods:
"Mr. Chen Hainan, would you like to marry Miss Zhang Yaru, live with her according to the teachings of the Bible, be one with her before God, love her, comfort her, respect her, protect him, and love her as you love yourself. Whether she is sick or healthy, rich or poor, she remains faithful to her until she leaves the world? ”
Chen Hainan looked at Zhang Yaru affectionately and said, "I am willing!" ”
The priest asked, "Miss Zhang Yaru, are you willing to marry Chen Hainan?" Dwell with Him according to the teachings of the Bible, be one with Him before God, love Him, comfort Him, respect Him, and protect Him as you love yourself. Whether he is sick or healthy, rich or poor, he remains faithful to him until he leaves the world? ”
Zhang Yaru looked at Chen Hainan affectionately and said, "I am willing!" ”
……
The priest said, "According to the authority given to us by God and the Bible, I declare you husband and wife. What God has joined together, no man can be separated. ”
"Hey, hey, hey! Get out of the way, get out of the way! The guards who opened the road were directing the crowded crowd on the street, and when the guards of the palace came to Zhang Yaru's side, Zhang Yaru was still dreaming of the prince and princess.
"Hey, hey, hey! This girl, please get out of the way, the prince's horse team is about to arrive! ”
Zhang Yaru was startled by this call and was immediately pushed aside, but the moment she looked up at the front, the scene in front of her stunned her!
Isn't the groom official riding on a tall horse Chen Hainan? Why is he here, he is the little prince? How can it be? It's absolutely impossible! It's absolutely impossible! Is this an illusion?
Zhang Yaru was surprised by everything that happened in front of her, the little prince's name is Chen Zhong, how could it be Chen Hainan? It's incredible!
Next, Zhang Yaru's behavior stunned everyone! She actually rushed to the front of the welcoming horse team and stopped the entire welcoming horse team.
The guards who opened the way scolded: "Dare to disrupt the people, dare to rush into the royal palace's welcoming guards!" ”
"Chen Hainan! Chen Hainan! Zhang Yaru couldn't care about so much, and shouted loudly.
This call attracted everyone's attention, and the guards of the guard were about to arrest Zhang Yaru.
At this time, Yan Xia, who had been behind the team, came to the front, and Zhang Yaru also recognized Yan Xia.
"I'm Zhang Yaru, a chivalrous man! You call Chen Hainan over! Zhang Yaru called out at Yan Xia.
Yan Xia was stunned for a moment, and remembered that the girl in front of her was Zhang Yaru, who she met in the port with the little prince that day.
So, Yan Xia whispered: "Miss Zhang, the little prince is getting married today, please get out of the way." ”
"You help me call Chen Hainan over!"
"Miss Zhang, it's really not good!"
Chen Zhong didn't know what was going on in front of him, and when he looked up, he also saw Zhang Yaru, and he knew that there was no way to hide his identity from her at this moment.
Chen Zhong came to the front of the horse team, looked at Zhang Yaru, who was a little excited, dismounted and came to her side, and before Chen Zhong could speak, Zhang Yaru questioned Chen Zhonglai first.
"Didn't you say your name is Chen Hainan? How did you end up in this welcoming procession? Are you idle every day and go around cheating on girls?! Zhang Yaru said angrily.
Chen Zhong didn't know how to explain to Zhang Yaru, so he whispered: "Miss Zhang Yaru, please be quiet, this is the palace's welcoming guards, pay a little attention to the influence, many eyes are watching." ”
Zhang Yaru glanced at Chen Zhong, lowered her voice a little and said, "Are you really the little prince of Hainan Palace?" ”
"That's right, today is my big wedding day. Please get out of the way, Miss Zhang, the auspicious time is coming. ”
"Who's the bride?" Zhang Yaru also ignored Chen Zhong and continued to ask.
"Zhang Yaru, the daughter of General Zhang Tong." When Chen Zhong said this, he realized that the person in front of him was also named Zhang Yaru, could she be General Zhang's daughter? Impossible! If she is General Zhang's daughter, how can she be here at this moment?
When Zhang Yaru heard Chen Zhong say his name, she secretly rejoiced in her heart, but she didn't think that her favorite prince charming really rode a white horse to greet her. At this moment, Zhang Yaru wanted to tell Chen Zhong immediately that she was the bride he was going to marry. However, she calmed down her emotions and had a bad idea in her heart, she wanted to fix this little prince.
"Chen Hainan!" Zhang Yaru didn't change her words, and said loudly: "I want to marry you!" Do you dare to marry me?! ”
Chen Zhong's mind "buzzed" when he heard this, and he thought, my aunt and grandmother, are you ashamed, what kind of system is it to say this in front of so many people!
It turned out that the four palace officials who followed the little prince to greet him had already come to their side when they heard the sound. scolded loudly: "Where did the shrews and Diao Min come from, dare to talk nonsense here, come here!" Arrest this mink! ”
Zhang Yaru didn't pay attention to the scolding of these palace officials at all, stared straight at Chen Zhong with her eyes, watched Chen Zhong carefully, and was secretly happy in her heart, I see what you do! Hey, hey, hey......
Chen Zhong made a gesture for them to retreat, saying, "You guys stand down first, I'll deal with it!" ”
"Miss Zhang Yaru, please pay attention to your words and deeds, this is a royal wedding, not child's play, please step down!" Although Chen Zhong's voice was very low, it was firm and indisputable, and his tone was mixed with domineering and majesty, then he turned around and ordered Yan Xia: "Yan Xia, you send Miss Zhang out!" ”
Yan Xia immediately dismounted and led Zhang Yaru out of the crowd. Zhang Yaru looked at Chen Zhong's firm and majestic expression, and secretly said in her heart: "Hmph! You'll know in a moment, let me go away, don't think about it for the rest of your life! ”
The guards of the Hainan Palace's welcoming relatives continued to walk towards General Zhang's Mansion.
