The bridegroom's official Zhu Rui arrived.

However, it is not that others can immediately enter the door to welcome the bride when they arrive at Xie's house. As a clan king, he still has a lot of ceremonial procedures to go through.

Xie Mulin sat in the boudoir with full makeup, naturally she couldn't see what was going on in the front yard, but fortunately she had a third brother who was very good at finding out the news.

Since the Wen family successfully sent a small rice ball to his daughter, Xie Huizhi successfully broke through the original blockade and could enter his second sister's yard. He didn't go into the house, but stood by the window, and reported to Shemulin the progress of the wedding in the front yard through the slit window.

He told Xie Mulin what kind of clothes Zhu Rui was wearing to come, and what his spirit was - naturally he was radiant, how many people were with him, what kind of identities they were, what kind of characters were playing music, and what were the evaluations of the people around him. Then it's time for the main and deputy maritals to appear again. How they interacted with the bridegroom, what they saluted, what they said, and so on. That is, Xie Huizhi mentioned it, and Xie Mulin knew that a color tent had been erected early in the morning at the gate of his house, and there were incense cases, sacrifices and other things in the tent, and Zhu Rui's interaction with the main marriage was carried out in the color tent.

After the ceremony outside the door was completed, the internal official led the officiating marriage envoy and the groom official Zhu Rui into the Xie family's official residence and entered the main courtyard. Xie Pu was waiting here in official uniform, and Wen was also standing on one side.

As soon as Xie Huizhi came to introduce here, a female deacon came to inform Xie Mulin that she was going to leave the boudoir.

Xie Mulin held the maid's hand, walked out of his courtyard under the guidance of the two female deacons, and when he passed by the third brother, he could still take the time to give him a look. Xie Huizhi secretly smiled, followed his second sister in a low-key manner, and quickly returned to the ranks of his brothers and sisters without a trace.

Xie Mulin was led to the main courtyard and stood under the Wen family. Although she didn't wear a red hijab, there were two deacons who blocked her face, she couldn't "meet" with Zhu Rui, and her heart was still a little itchy, she could only see through the gap in the fan, and she could vaguely see him wearing the county crown suit, and her facial features were not careful, but the overall demeanor and spirit were excellent.

Such a man is her bridegroom! Sure enough, her vision is good!

Xie Mulin couldn't help but the corners of his mouth curled slightly, wanting to laugh, but he still held back. Although there were fans blocking her face, the deacons on both sides could still see the expression on her face. She was still relatively new to them, and she didn't want to show her stuffing in front of them.

There is a long case in the main courtyard, and there are sacrifices on the table. An internal official led Zhu Rui to the front of the case, and another internal official knelt down with a newly hunted wild goose to present Zhu Rui, Zhu Rui took the goose, presented it to the long case, and then retreated to the side. Then the officiating envoy came forward and bowed eight times before the long case, and then withdrew, and then the deacon removed the sacrifice from the case.

The welcoming ceremony was basically completed, Zhu Rui withdrew from the Xie Mansion under the guidance of the internal officials, and then it was the turn of the deacons to invite Xie Mulin, the newly promoted princess of the county, to go out and board the sedan chair.

Wen grabbed her daughter's hand, reluctantly reddened her eyes again, and wanted to say something, but it seemed that everything that should have been said had already been said, and as soon as she spoke, she couldn't help choking.

Xie Mulin smiled and shook his mother's hand: "Mother, you and your father live a good life, you can't follow him in everything, if you have any ideas, you have to tell your father in time." Your siblings are also older, so don't worry about them all the time, and let them make their own decisions once in a while. ”

Wen choked and kept nodding, really reluctant to let go of his daughter's hand, and finally under the persuasion of the female deacons, Xie Meijun and Xie Yingfen, he personally helped his daughter to the gate, and was reluctant to let go.

Xie Mulin looked back at his family again, and then reluctantly boarded the sedan chair under the guidance of the female deacons. She now has the honor guard of her own princess, which is very different from ordinary brides. But she didn't care to look more, after the sedan chair, she kept staring at the small window next to the sedan chair, wanting to see her home and relatives a few more times, until they all disappeared from her field of vision.

Xie Mulin whispered to Xiangtao to put down the sedan curtain, sit in the sedan chair, and let out a long sigh.

The next step of the personal greeting team is naturally not to go directly to the Yanwang Mansion, but also to go to the Fengxian Hall in the Forbidden City to worship the ancestors and pay homage to the temple. In fact, this is probably the chapel ceremony in a normal wedding. It's just that the clans worship the church, not the high hall of their parents, but the ancestors of the past generations. If they get married in the capital, then this part will be held in the palace. If they are only in the palace of another domain, they can also do it in the ancestral hall of their own palace. But the Yanwang Mansion is not only the palace of the vassal king, but also in Beiping, there is a Forbidden City near the water. This was originally built with the specifications of the imperial palace, although it can only be regarded as a palace at the moment, but all the ceremonies held in the imperial palace can be held in the Forbidden City, which sounds like a special kind of decency.

It's just that for the children of the Yan Wangfu in the past dynasties, they can't go to the temple in their own palace to see the ceremony, but they have to go around the Forbidden City for a long way, and it's a special toss.

The Forbidden City is not far from the Yanwang Mansion, and there is only a Taiye Pond in general, and it is also not far from the Xie family's official residence, and the palace wall of the Forbidden City can be seen on the rockery in the back garden, but that is only relative to the walking speed of normal people. The welcoming team of Zhu Rui, the king of Yong'an County, was large, with cars, horses and sedan chairs, and followed by the salute band, so the speed of travel was naturally not fast. By the time they arrived at the noon gate in front of the Forbidden City, an hour had passed.

It was noon. The weather was fine today, no rain, but no big sun either, a slight breeze. At the end of June, when the heat is not over, the weather is really quite cool. If not, the welcoming party would have suffered too much.

When Xie Mulin's honor drove into the Forbidden City, he and Zhu Rui did not go through the same doorway, but it had nothing to do with it, the honor guard stopped before the noon gate, and the guards, officials and soldiers would not enter the city, and they all waited outside the noon gate. Under the guidance of the deacons, Xie Mulin got off the sedan chair, and curtains were erected on both sides, and two large fans appeared in front of him. She couldn't see who she was, and no one else could see her clearly.

After Zhu Rui and Xie Mulin entered the noon gate, they had to walk to the Fengxian Hall together. The Forbidden City was designed by Emperor Taizong himself, and the layout inside was almost exactly the same as the Forbidden City that Xie Mulin knew. Therefore, the location of the temple has not changed. They had to pass through the three main halls of the front court all the way, and then turn right to come to the location of the Fengxian Palace.

Just on foot, Xie Mulin estimated that they had walked at least a kilometer. Fortunately, she has the habit of walking at home to practice physical strength for many years, and she has not changed since she came to Beiping.

It's just that her legs and feet are strong, but her neck is protesting. The seven crowns of the princess of the county are really not something that ordinary people can bear.
