In the midst of the happy tent, Li Shimin said to Xu Maogong: "Xu Aiqing, it's time for you to give a happy message." ”

Xu Maogong hurriedly gave a salute and said, "Weichen obeys the order." With that, he turned around and waved to the side. Someone brought over a lotus leaf plate, and the lotus leaf plate was covered with red silk, and on the red silk was placed a happy essay written on big red paper. The person who wrote Xiwen is naturally Xu Maogong. Xu Maogong is not only strategic, but also stylish. Writing a happy essay is naturally not a problem.

Xu Maogong stood in front of the incense case, took the Xiwen in his hand and unfolded it in front of him, and read it aloud.

The content of the Xiwen is nothing more than auspicious words. At the beginning, Li Shimin's merits were praised, and then the groom was praised for how good he looked, how talented, and how glorious his identity was. He also praised the bride for her beautiful appearance, virtuous character, and illustrious birth. Next, it is a festive and auspicious word, wishing them the love of husband and wife and a hundred years together. Pray to God that they will have children early and live a long and prosperous life. And so on and so forth.

I read this happy text for about two minutes before I finished reading it.

After reading the happy text, Xu Maogong closed the red note, turned around to salute Li Shimin, and said: "Long live, read the happy text." It's time to start worshipping heaven and earth. ”

The newly appointed prefect of Baihuguan, Zhao Jingting, was appointed by Li Shimin as the master of ceremonies for today's wedding ceremony. At this time, he was already dressed in a gorgeous costume and draped over his shoulders, standing next to the incense table offered to the gods of heaven and earth, ready to praise the wedding ceremony.

Li Shimin saw that Xu Maogong had finished reading the happy text and all the complicated etiquette had been completed, so he said to Zhao Jingting: "Zhao Aiqing, the big gift can begin." ”

"Yes." Zhao Jingting hurriedly bowed and agreed. said: "Weichen immediately saluted. With that, he turned around again and shouted, "The auspicious time has come, please take your place." ”

Qin Ying hurriedly came over and helped Xue Dingshan to stand on the left side of the red felt in front of the incense case, and Diao Yue'e and Yun Lan also helped Fan Lihua to stand on the right side of the red felt.

When Zhao Jingting saw that they were all standing, he began to salute and said loudly: "Once you worship the blue sky, the husband and wife will be united for a hundred years." Bow. ”

Qin Ying supported Xue Dingshan, Diao Yue'e and Yun Lan helped Fan Lihua to kneel down on the worship mat in front of them, and the gods on the double two-way incense case bowed their heads and bowed, and bowed four times in a row. After they bowed, Zhao Jingting shouted and said, "Xing." Qin Ying and Diao Yue'e helped Xue Dingshan and Fan Lihua to stand up.

Zhao Jingting shouted again: "Two bows to the ground, and the hibiscus tent is knotted." Bow. Qin Ying helped Xue Dingshan, Diao Yue'e and Yun Lan helped Fan Lihua and knelt down on the mat, and bowed four times. After the bow, Zhao Jingting shouted: "Xing." Qin Ying and Diao Yue'e helped Xue Dingshan and Fan Lihua to stand up again.

Zhao Jingting shouted again: "Husband and wife worship each other, and the branches will never be defeated." Bow. Diao Yue'e and Yun Lan helped Fan Lihua kneel down on the mat in front of them, and gave a salute first. Qin Ying helped Xue Dingshan to kneel down on the mat and saluted back. Fan Lihua gave another salute, and Xue Dingshan saluted again. After bowing four times in a row, Zhao Jingting shouted again: "Xing". Qin Ying helped Xue Dingshan to stand up first, and Diao Yue'e helped Fan Lihua to stand up as well.

Zhao Jingting shouted again for the fourth time: "The newcomers thank their relatives and friends together." Qin Ying helped Xue Dingshan to turn around and faced the old princes and generals. Diao Yue'e also helped Fan Lihua turn around. Zhao Jingting shouted: "Please." The two of them faced the old princes on the mat again, and the old generals bowed four times. After they finished worshipping, Zhao Jingting shouted and said, "The great gift has been completed." Send the newcomer into the cave room. ”

When the two elderly servants beside Princess Liu heard that the big salute was completed, they hurriedly came to Xue Dingshan and Fan Lihua with a red silk with a length of about a zhang, and handed the two ends of the red silk to the hands of the two of them. Xue Dingshan and Fan Lihua each held one end, thirty-six maids led the way in front with a big red palace lamp in their hands, Sheng Xiaole sent each other off, Diao Yue'e and Yunlan helped Fan Lihua to leave the green tent with Xue Dingshan and enter the new house.

Xue Jingshan and Dou Yihu saw that all the salutes were finished, and hurriedly came to Li Shimin to give a salute and said: "The banquet has been prepared, please go to the front hall to drink and feast with all the princes and generals." Li Shimin nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, everyone Aiqing, let's go to the front to ask for a few glasses of Xue Aiqing and Fan Aiqing's happy wine." Cheng Biting Jin, Xu Maogong and others hurriedly said: "It's just to please their favorite wine." Li Shimin stood up and walked out, and all the ministers hurriedly followed, and under the guidance of Xue Jingshan and Dou Yihu, they left the wedding tent, went out of the garden, walked through the inner house, and returned to the main hall to feast and celebrate.

In front of the courtyard gate of Yilanxuan, the Mao family led the maids and maids of the Pingliao Palace, who came with the western expedition, to stand on both sides of the red felt, welcoming Xue Dingshan and Fan Lihua back. Thirty-six maids carried red lights and came downstairs to Yilanxuan first, divided into left and right columns. Xue Dingshan and Fan Lihua also came over later. Mao led the maids and servants to give gifts one after another, and said, "See the prince, see the young lady." Xue Dingshan raised his hand slightly, and the maid and maid stood up and stood on both sides with their hands down. Mao held the five-colored fruit with a multicolored entwined lotus plate, and recited the happy words in his mouth to guide in front.

The newcomer moved through the high hall, and the goddess fairy entered the cave room.

There are many rewards in the flower dividend market, and the five sides are full of yin and yang

Xue Dingshan walked in front with the knotted flower red silk in his hand, Yun Lan and Diao Yue'e supported Fan Lihua behind, and followed the Mao family into Yilanxuan.

Xue Yulian, Liu Ruyan, Cao Xiuluan, and Dou Yuxian had already passed by, ready to preside over their union ceremony. At this time, he was standing on the top of the stairs with Xue Jinlian waiting for them to come back.

Seeing that they had entered the courtyard gate, he hurriedly ordered the maid standing in front of the door of the room and said, "Quick, raise the curtain and welcome the prince and the young lady in." The maid didn't dare to slack off when she heard this, and hurriedly raised the bamboo curtain of Concubine Xiang high.

Xue Dingshan dragged the red silk up the stairs, went upstairs, turned around and walked back. Yunlan and Diao Yue'e helped Fan Lihua on the left and right and slowly went upstairs, and entered the room surrounded by everyone. Xia He, the close maid beside Princess Liu, hurriedly came over and took the red silk in the hands of Xue Dingshan and Fan Lihua, and turned around and put it on the lintel.

Diao Yue'e and Yun Lan helped Fan Lihua to sit down directly on the ivory bed in the inner room. Xue Jinlian hurriedly took over a pair of big red pinched gold cloud head Zhu silk shoes and replaced Fan Lihua's embroidered shoes. He also removed the curtain on her body and replaced it with a double-embroidered partridge pomegranate flower skillfully cut reunion fan to cover her face. Only then did he help her back to the outer room and sit down on the embroidered stool next to the reunion table.
