Chapter 3: Marriage
Five days later, I finally arrived at Jianping City.
I saw that after Zhen Rong and his party entered the city, the people in the city blocked the water around the road, and the officers and soldiers evacuated the crowd and let the people stand on both sides of the street.
Zhen Rong's carriage was pulled by three horses, and a coachman drove the car. The body is made of fine nanmu, the roof is inlaid with a night pearl as big as an egg, and the four corners of the car are hung with tassel jade beads as thin as peas.
At this moment, the people on both sides of the street couldn't help but praise when they saw such a victory. Riding a horse at the front was He Qiao and his army, in the middle was Zhen Rong's carriage, and in the front and back of the carriage were more than a dozen maidservants holding flower baskets, scattering various colored flower petals, and at the back were Wan Qin's people.
At this time, Zhen Rong was sitting in the carriage, and I saw that she had already uncovered the red Xipa, holding two pastries in one hand and a chicken leg in the other, eating with relish. After a while, the chicken thighs in her hands were finished, and she put the bones in a box, and then went on to eat an apple in a box she had decorated with a hand, and a small bunch of grapes.
She thought to herself at this time, Yan Xi's girl didn't let me pretend, and finally I found an excuse to support her to find my hairpin, and I took the opportunity to take out the hand ornament in the hand ornament box and put it in the fruit.
She wants to scold people very much, this ancient marriage is too troublesome, and the bride is not allowed to eat on the wedding day, why can their men eat and drink when they get married, this girl is not easy to bully, don't let me eat, I want to eat.
Two hours later, when I arrived at the gate of the palace (Xuanwu Gate), the carriage could not enter the palace at this time, and Zhen Rong had to get off and take a phoenix sedan chair to enter.
At this time, Taixiao's younger brother, Taiting came to greet him personally. I saw him wearing a purple jade crown on his head, a purple robe, embroidered with a python on it, and black boots embroidered with gold thread, standing at the gate of the palace. The side of the face is like a knife, with a pair of eyebrows, a pair of obsidian-like eyes, a high nose bridge, and shallow lips. The whole person gives people a good feeling of a humble gentleman.
At this time, Zhen Rong was slowly helped by someone and was about to get out of the car, but when she came out, she saw a person crawling on the ground, she felt that it hurt her self-esteem too much, so she didn't step on it. Although she could jump directly, doing so would cause an uproar, and she would have to lecture them again.
She said to Yan Xi: "Ah Xi, go and bring the stool behind the car."
Yan Xi whispered: "Princess, you just step on it!" It's okay. ”
A certain woman said in her heart, I have something. She scared coldly: "If you don't take it, if you don't take it, I'll jump directly." Saying that she was ready to jump.
This really scared Yan Xi, and she immediately said, "I'll take it, I'll take it."
So she brought the stool, and Zhen Rong got out of the car on the stool.
She came to the side of the Tai Ting, only to see the Tai Ting, and said respectfully: "Meet the princess, the royal brother has greeted you in the Chu He Hall (the main hall of the Eastern Chu Dynasty)."
At this moment, someone wants to do something, otherwise how can he make Taixiao angry? All right! started with him first, who called him the younger brother of Taixiao.
I saw that she took off the Xipa, and despite everyone's surprise, she turned around and got into the carriage. Yan Xi called out to the princess, "Princess, hurry up."
She got out of the carriage and jumped straight down. At this time, Yan Xi has a heart that wants to die, since the princess woke up from injury, her personality has changed, the princess used to be gentle and considerate, noble and elegant, but now the princess is straightforward, vicious and hateful, it is like two people.
I saw that after she came to Taiting's side, she stuffed a box to him, and a certain woman smiled like a spring breeze, "Help me throw this away!" Thank you! "The box was the chicken bones she threw away after she finished eating.
After she finished speaking, she didn't care about it, bypassed him, walked to the sedan chair, and put the red Xipa on her head again.
At this time, Tan Taiting was completely confused by this scene, he had never seen today's scene, if it was his third brother who was doing a good thing, he would definitely find it interesting. But he doesn't like to watch the excitement, why let himself experience this kind of thing, he only feels inexplicable at this time. I saw him hand the box into the hands of the personal guard next to him, and then turned and rode on his horse.
The personal guard (Lan Zhuqian) had no choice but to take it in his hand, because it was impossible to throw it away now, and he followed the master.
This little episode at the gate of the palace passed in the confusion of everyone.
In the Chu and He Palace, the ministers stood on both sides, and only heard the eunuch's voice, "Princess Languo has arrived!" Then she was helped by Yan Xi into the Chu He Palace.
As soon as someone entered, he peeked at the platform a few times. At this moment, Yu Taixiao stood at the top, next to his knife-like face, a pair of deep sword eyebrows, a pair of translucent black pupils, a tall nose, and thin lips. Wearing a red dragon robe, a red jade crown, and red gold embroidered boots. I saw that he had a cold face and no waves.
Zhen Rong was helped up the gold-paved staircase, and then stood alongside Yu Taixiao at the top.
At this time, Tang Taixiao motioned to the eunuch next to him to nod, took out the holy decree, and began to read it out in his duck-like voice, "Fengtian carrier, my emperor summoned, from now on, Feng Languo Yiping eldest princess, Sima Zhenrong is the queen of my Chu country, Qin this!" ”
As soon as these words were finished, the civil and military officials in the court immediately knelt down and said in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live long live, long live the queen, long live the queen."
At this time, Yu Taixiao's indifferent tone, "All the ministers are flat!" ”
At this moment, Zhen Rong thought to herself, damn! It's not over yet, I'm so bored that I want to sleep.
At this time, Yu Taixiao's tone was unwavering, "This is the end of the ceremony!" ”
When a certain woman heard this, she was immediately excited, and she almost jumped up, but she restrained herself fiercely.
Zhen Rong knew from the beginning that the person in front of him married himself, first, to unite with Xilan Kingdom to suppress Beichen Kingdom, although he could unite with the Chen Kingdom with its military equivalent, but because the two countries were equal in military strength, Chen Guo definitely did not want to fuel the arrogance of Chu State; Second, to suppress the three major families in the court, she found someone to inquire, the power of the three major families has endangered the imperial power, and the daughters of the three families have been sent to the palace and become the concubines of Taixiao. However, Tang Taixiao seemed to give them honors, but he never touched any of them, to be exact, he never touched all the women in his harem.
A certain girl really wanted to know how he did it when he looked at so many women, but he didn't bother to touch any of them.
