63 The Wedding of the Oriental Moon (I)
This was the end of my first court.
Everyone dispersed.
The outer dynasties disperse faster, because they live outside the palace.
There were only a few dozen inner court people left in the aisle outside the main hall.
Li Feiyu said with a smile: "Haha! I want to see when Zhao Guangxin is going to make trouble! Wait until ......"
Liu Xingchao: "Okay! Just watch the excitement obediently! ”
Although this matter did not come to a conclusion at the court meeting, in the end it was the crown prince Zhu Hongfeng who presided over the wedding ceremony. I guess it's because he's thick-skinned and sticks to his guns.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the sun did not go up or down, and the time was just right, and the welcoming team left the palace.
Although the ancestral law stipulates that it must be simple or something, the mighty team still can't see the end. How far has the team been? The head of the line has already arrived at the Dongfang Mansion, and the end of the line is still crowded in the palace. There is no way, our family's house is like this - too far away, far away in Liangzhou; It's too close, on the edge of the palace.
The tenth prince, Zhu Hongsi, wore a red groom's outfit and rode on a fiery red sweaty horse, leading the entire team.
Behind him on his right is the crown prince Zhu Hongfeng, riding a black high-headed horse.
The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the superintendent of the forbidden army were on both sides, and I and other imperial officials of the Inner Court followed behind the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and behind us was a long procession of various ritual weapons.
When they arrived at the gate of the Dongfang Mansion, the accompanying eunuch shouted: "The prince has arrived." ”
The head of the family, Dongfang Chengping, the son Dongfang Yongwu, the second son Dongfang Yongbai, the third son Dongfang Yongde, and other young sons stood at the door, and they all knelt down in front of the greeting team to say goodbye.
Even though they weren't kneeling me, I was still very happy.
The tenth prince, Zhu Hongsi, also dismounted, and arched his hand and said, "No courtesy." ”
The people of the Oriental family got up and entered the door to lead the way.
There were many people kneeling by the wall, and I saw a lot of acquaintances, as well as friends I had known in Luoyang - Dongfang Liang, Dongfang Tian, Dongfang Qi, Dongfang Qiang, Dongfang Chen, Dongfang Guang, etc.
I really wanted to wave at them, but the prince put up with it by his side.

We entered the gate of the house.
I can't believe it - this is the Oriental Family! I didn't go home for three months, and "home" became unrecognizable! It turned out that the same big yard has become a garden with mountains and rivers interdependent, and mountains and mountains overlapping! The old house gave me the feeling that we were just passers-by; The current home gives me another feeling - we have lived here for 10,000 years and will live for 10,000 years!
As soon as I entered the gate of the Dongfang Mansion, a row of boys and girls stood up on the roof and threw paper flowers and candy at the head of the procession. However, we were also prepared, and people took out the pre-prepared candy from their bulging pockets and threw it up, so the two sides "fought" like this.
The people above prepared a lot of candy and threw it down, our sugar was exhausted, and we ran into it in embarrassment, and everyone's hair and neck collar were full of candy and paper flowers.
It was easy for us to "escape" into the main building of the Oriental Family, which was full of banquets and surrounded by serving servants of the Oriental Family. The Oriental family will host us here for luncheon and return to the palace in the afternoon.
The luncheon was extraordinary. I came to Dongfang's house for a few months, and the dishes on the table at that time were not as good as any dishes now. Even the wine is extremely valuable, and all kinds of white and red wines can be known as decades of treasure when you smell them.
Everyone was very happy and soon drank high. I also toast others, and with the strength of the wine, I toasted the previous masters, Dongfang Chengping, Dongfang Yongwu, Dongfang Yongbai and even Dongfang Yongde. On this occasion, everyone was perfect.
I saw Dongfang Tian and Dongfang Qi, the two most capable and manly of the Dongfang family, who actually drank like water at this time, and were drunk, but said that they were not drunk. They had tears on their faces, and even their noses had snot, which was not at all like the image of Yushu in the wind before.
I came to them with a glass of wine and said to them, "Brother Dongfang Tian, Brother Dongfang Qi, I haven't seen you for a long time, I would like to give you a glass." ”
Before I could drink it, they drank it all in one gulp.
Dongfang Qi: "Brother envy you." ”
I looked depressed - envious of my dry hair, I am a eunuch.
Him: "You can still be with the eldest lady." ”
It dawned on me. It turns out that these two are out of love, and now they are connected by the same fate, and they are each hurting.
Dongfang Qi: "I have also competed with Dongfang Tian a few times, well, right in front of Dongfang Mingyue." It's ridiculous to think about it now. ”
Me: "Alas, my father said that it is better to forget each other than to be in the rivers and lakes." If you love someone, you have to let go. ”
Dongfang Tian patted me on the shoulder and said, "Little brother, take good care of my little sister in the palace." ”
I said, "Rest assured, I pledge with my life!" Brother Dongfang Tian, Brother Dongfang Qi, take care! ”

After a short rest after dinner, the auspicious time has arrived, and we will leave for the palace.
When the tenth prince Zhu Hongsi arrived in front of Dongfang Mingyue's boudoir, a group of beautiful girls blocked the door. Dongfang attacked the leader, she smiled and said, "Who are you, what are you doing in front of my eldest lady's room?" Say it! ”
People laughed.
Zhu Hongsi suddenly wanted to get through the cracks in the people, but the girls crowded together and pushed him, and he squeezed for a long time, not even a centimeter close.
People laughed even more.
The cannon sounded, and the auspicious time had arrived.
Crown Prince Zhu Hongfeng shouted: "Everyone go up." ”
We swarmed up.
Zhu Hongfeng picked up Dongfang Raider, lifted her above his head, and handed it to us, and we all raised our hands to pass her from the top of our heads to the side, only to hear her exaggerated and cheerful shout. After a while, one by one, the girls at the door were cleaned up.
Zhu Hongsi slipped sideways into Dongfang Mingyue's boudoir, and soon, Dongfang Mingyue, who was dressed in red and covered with red cloth, was carried out by the Ten Princes and hugged into the carriage pulled by the five carriages.
Candy colored paper flew all over the sky, and firecrackers fired in unison.
The team began to return, this time it was the crown prince Zhu Hongfeng riding a horse to open the way, he walked on the street of Chang'an on a high-headed horse with his head held high, followed by Zhu Hongsi and Dongfang Mingyue's carriage, and we and Dongfang Chengping followed behind.
Along the way, the major scholars in Chang'an congratulated each other, and Dongfang Chengping thanked them one by one.
After sparing a large circle, the team returned to the palace.
The palace area is the first checkpoint, and only people with oriental surnames are allowed to enter.
The palace compound is the second inspection post, and only a very small number of henchmen of the Dongfang family can enter.
The main building of the palace is the third inspection post, and only five people have entered-Dongfang Chengping and his sons and daughters, of course, if you don't count me and Dongfang Yi.
The main banquet hall is the Mingde Hall.
The Mingde Hall is on the second floor of the Imperial Palace, and the Qixia Hall on the first floor of the Imperial Palace is as huge, and it is also a large room with a length and width of more than 100 meters. However, there were no courts and dragon chairs, but hundreds of square desks in a large oval, and the ceiling was hung with various lamps that I had never seen before.
Emperor Zhu Zhaotian and Empress Zhao Yishu sat at the northernmost table, and the emperor said, "No courtesy." On the big day, don't scruple and have fun. ”

Crown Prince Zhu Hongfeng stood in the middle and began to preside over the wedding, and after a lot of nonsense, he finally said: "Finally, the bride and groom!" ”
Zhu Hongsi, the tenth prince in a white suit, and Dongfang Mingyue, a bride in red satin, appeared at the far door.
Everyone craned their necks to look at them.
Zhu Hongsi is tall and tall, the tallest of all the princes, at least 1.85 meters. The fitted suit showed that his body was more handsome, his long black hair was tucked back his head, and his resolute and clean face was slightly raised, which did not look like a human thing.
Dongfang Mingyue was dressed in red, wearing a red hijab embroidered with dragon and phoenix patterns, and her figure was almost the tallest girl in the palace, about 1.75 meters. She was supported by Zhu Hongsi, and they walked down the road leading from the door to the emperor. Her body was exquisite, even exaggerated, and her silk clothes were tight.
They came to the Emperor and Empress.
Zhu Hongsi lifted the bride's red hijab.
There was a chorus of surprise in the palace.
Even me.
I've been seeing the bright moon in the east for a few months now. I was amazed at her beauty when I first saw her, but she never wore makeup then; Even then, she never wore makeup, and she was not as beautiful as a mortal; Now that she is a bridal makeup, I dare say that even the fairies of heaven would be sincerely jealous of her beauty.
If beauty is a kind of faith, then the Oriental Moon is the only, absolutely correct, original and final, eternal belief in this world. Faith comes from miracles, and now, miracles are unleashed before our eyes by God, and undoubted miracles are unquestionably unfolded in the center of the palace, in front of the emperor and empress, and in front of many imperial relatives and important ministers of the imperial court. When all things are gone, when God no longer exists, you will still remember that miracle, and you will still hold on to your faith.
A moment in a person's life is enough.

I felt a throbbing, and my heart suddenly ached, like a pinprick in a pin.
I'm not sure what this thing is.
The last time I felt this kind of palpitations was seven or eight years ago, when I was just in school.
At that time, I was twelve or thirteen years old, and I had only gone to school for the first time, and the big families in the county went to school at the age of eight or nine. The first time I stood in the doorway of a classroom, I had no idea of anything in it, I didn't know the classroom, the blackboard, the chalk, the seats, the day, the whip, the textbooks, the stationery, the table, and so on — I knew them, but I had never seen them — these concepts were like things from the outside world to me, and they were normal things to the big people in the county.
The teacher asked me to sit, and there were a lot of empty seats in the classroom, but I went to one, and the person next to me said "go away" once, and I went all the way to the end, and a girl at the last desk said, "You can sit here." ”
I think she must be the goddess of my life.
She told me a lot of things and helped me a lot.
Inadvertently, I reaped my love. I would even sneak into her hand and pretend to touch it unintentionally. I think about her all the time, and imagine countless things we will see in the future. She's my only friend, and I think I'm her best friend too, well, yes I think.
It wasn't until I stumbled upon what she was doing after school with some of her classmates from large families in the curtained classroom.
That's when I realized that love was two-sided. You love her, it's possible; She loves you, and that's possible; You love her and she loves you, it's impossible. What this means is: love is winning the lottery twice in a row, and it's impossible!
Either way, I still like her.
I'm tempted to say that I or we have done anything impressive, but the truth is, nothing, not even "impressive things", not even "things".
When something happened, I had to drop out of school and leave.
I told her that I was gone and might never come back.
She said, yes.
Then I laughed with the person next to me.
I looked at her and looked at the side of her face, from the morning sun to the sunset.
And then I was gone.
In the days to come, I often think of her, and I am in a daze when I do things, thinking about her. Until one day, I found out that Zhao Xingyue had also grown up and was very beautiful. One day I remembered that it had been a long time since I missed my lesbian table. I feel ashamed, I betrayed my love. If love is not pure, then what is the meaning of love? It's one thing for someone else to betray me, it's another thing for me to betray someone else! I can betray my first love, and I will definitely betray my second love. In fact, the "second love" itself is a ridiculous concept, like a "square circle".
Sky! Now I've forgotten her name, her voice.

The feeling of palpitations is very similar to the feeling of palpitations now.
It's impossible.
I have nothing to do with Dongfang Mingyue.
Now, all eyes are on the bride.
Even the emperor and empress stayed to watch her.
She seemed to blush with shyness. I'm not sure it's really blushing, because she's a big girl. This kind of smart girl will be more ladylike than a lady when she pretends to be a lady.
The emperor gave wine.
The bride and groom drink a glass of wine. They drank it all.
Zhu Hongsi toasted with the Oriental Bright Moon.
Starting from the emperor and empress, and then the relatives of the emperor, including the emperor's younger brother Zhaoding Wangye, the imperial sister Zhaowan County Lord, the crown prince Zhu Honghua and his wife, and the crown prince Zhu Hongfeng and his wife. Then there are Zhu Hongsi's wives and concubines, the four girls are the eldest daughters of the Dashi clan, they toast each other, and they look quite harmonious, well, it seems.
Zhu Hongsi watched Dongfang Mingyue drink a lot of wine and wanted to drink it for her, but she smiled and gently pushed her away. I know that she is quite a good drinker, and she is probably second only to her eldest brother and me in the Dongfang family, her eldest brother is an alcoholic, and I am a madman.

After the bride meets the royal family, the celebration begins.
The palace maids beat the drums, the singers and entertainers begin to dance, and various activities begin.
The emperor and empress, the emperor's relatives, and the officials of the court began to eat, drink, and laugh.
The atmosphere heats up.
Many princesses hugged Dongfang Mingyue, talking and laughing together; Many princes stared at her, ignoring the jealous eyes of the princesses around her.
I could see that Dongfang Mingyue glanced at me proudly, with a smug look.
