According to the ancestral system, the day after the wedding, the prince and the princess need to go to the temple to worship.

The two walked through the corridor all the way to the worship hall, and looked from a distance, and the two rows of palace people waiting stood on both sides of the worship hall.

Shen Mushi was about to let go of the hands of the two and prepare to enter the hall, but he didn't expect both to hang their heads and just look at their toes, holding his hand.

Shen Mushi glanced at her and coughed lightly.

Shuangshuang looked up at him after realizing it, and found that he had arrived in front of the palace, according to the rules, the order of entering the palace was that His Royal Highness the Prince was in front, she was behind, she had been holding the prince's hand and not letting go, and the palace people were whispering, laughing at the princess for not understanding the rules.

Shuangshuang looked embarrassed and was about to let go, but Shen Mushi snorted lightly and clenched her hand again.

Shuangshuang looked up at him in confusion, his expression was indifferent, as if holding her hand like this was a matter of course, and she tried to withdraw it with some force, but could not pull it back.

The palace people led them into the temple to worship, and after the two of them burned incense and prayed in front of the sacrificial table, the palace people led the two to the front of the temple door at the other end, and pushed open the heavy and thick carved red lacquered fir door, and a light entered the worship hall through the thin cracks of the gate, dragging the slender and straight light and shadow, and flashing the eyes of both pairs.

She couldn't help but lose her eyes, a little nervous, her fingertips trembled slightly, and even her back was a little wet.

Shen Mushi, who had been by her side, suddenly touched her back with his right hand, which startled her, and when she looked at Shen Mu sideways, her little face was full of panic and confusion.

Shen Mushi saw that her face turned white, and reached out to touch her back, but she didn't expect her whole body to tremble slightly, and she knew that she was a little afraid.

hooked the corners of his mouth, pressed his throat and said softly: "Outside the Temple of Heaven, the father and the queen are already waiting outside, and at the foot of the altar, there are hundreds of civil and military officials and thousands of Li people waiting, pay attention." Although he didn't lose the face of the emperor's family, there was no need to be too nervous. ”

Then he tapped her on the back twice, then withdrew his hand and arched it forward. Only then did Shuangshuang realize that he was kindly reminding her and smiling at him.

Shen Mushi saw her smile like a flower, her heart fluttered, and she understood that from the time she met to the present, she was just giving her a little tenderness, but she had fully trusted herself. He whispered to her again, "Laugh." Don't smile in front of outsiders, it's not dignified. ”

When they both heard it, they were solemn again, and the smile on the corner of their mouth was slightly stiff.

As soon as the two of them stepped out, there was a thunderous cheer under the Temple of Heaven, and they both looked at the crowded people at their feet, a little panicked.

I could only hear the eunuch reading the holy decree beside me, but his head was blank.

Fortunately, the prince is a measured person, and he did not despise her on important occasions, and led himself carefully in everything so as not to be embarrassed.

Both followed Shen Mushi all the way to salute, and finally met the emperor and empress on the high seat.

Taking advantage of Emperor Chu Wei's offering wine to Taizu, Shen Mushi turned his head sideways and whispered: "Concentrate." I'll do the drinking ritual later, and you can step aside. ”

Originally, he was looking at the black pressure on the crowd in the audience, and Mu Ne raised his eyes to look at Shen Mushi.

Shen Mushi exchanged a look with her and smiled slightly.

Seeing him under the golden sun, his eyes were full of confidence and pampering, and he smiled so gracefully and fairy, the girl blushed for a while, and lowered her head and smiled.

The two of them fell into the eyes of everyone, and some officials kept their heads down and snickered, only two of them had relief in their eyes. One is Lu Chexi, and the other is Emperor Chu Wei.

The intricate and solemn rituals are performed by priests dressed in dark red robes.

Removing bad luck, dispelling calamities, blessings, singing, chanting, and dancing, the two stood in front of the altar for two or three hours.

Shuangshuang felt that his legs were about to break, and he was sore, but he was really uncomfortable. I was looking forward to the drinking ceremony to be held soon, and thus, the entire ancestor worship ceremony was over.

Finally, as soon as noon arrived, the wind suddenly began to blow around.

The priests on both sides beat the majestic music of the drums, solemn and heavy.

Shen Mushi stepped to the sacrificial table, raised the bronze tripod cup full of wine, and after standing still, he sprinkled the wine on the altar of heaven with one hand from left to right.

When Shen Mushi spilled the first cup, he sang in a melodious tone:

"The first cup, respect heaven and earth, and worship the courtesy."

"The second cup, abide by the four-dimensional guidelines, loyalty and faithfulness."

"The third cup is a gift to all the people, and benevolence is in the heart."

Both of them watched from behind as the wind roared on the stage, and Shen Mushi's wide sleeves were intertwined with the five-colored ribbons representing the five elements on the altar.

Under the clear sky, his long back, his long white jade fingers that shine through, and his outstretched arms are domineering and natural, as if he was born to bring the spirit of a king.

Shuangshuang couldn't help but think of the first time they met him in the Brocade Garden, indifferent and ruthless; On the wedding night, he cruelly punished himself for kneeling down and keeping vigil, cold and cold.

With Fang Cai's doting smile, he only felt leisurely like a dream, not very real.

When Shen Mushi's third glass of wine spilled on the ground, the people in the audience cheered loudly in the sky:

"I wish His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess a hundred years of good together, the early birth of the emperor and grandson, the prosperity of the Chu country, and the prosperity of the whole country!"

Shuangshuang's whole person was infected by the deafening shouts, and his heart was full of passion and became enthusiastic. She thinks that the identity of the crown princess is not only an identity, but also a symbol of royal power. She secretly swore that she must work hard to be a good princess, and she could not embarrass her father and the Lu family.

After exiting the Temple of Heaven, it was the home banquet of the Emperor's Cadre Palace.

The two of them tossed again, and when they were over, it was already Shen Shi.

I didn't sleep until four watches last night, and I got up again today, dressed in gorgeous and heavy palace clothes and was busy all day, compared to Shen Mushi, who practiced martial arts daily and was physically strong, his physical strength was not as good, and he was tired and almost unstable.

Shen Mushi was still energetic and said goodbye to the priest, she was so tired that she couldn't do it, the palace people helped her to get on the chariot, and before she put down the curtain, she had already fallen asleep against the chariot wall.

As soon as Shen Mushi got into the car, he saw both leaning on the pillars of the chariots, sleeping quietly.

Shen Mushi looked at this shallow begonia and hesitated for a moment, after all, he sat on the opposite side of Shuangshuang, watching her move along the chariot, shaking her head and her cute appearance, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Both of them slept in a daze, not knowing that he was laughing at himself, and his body unconsciously leaned forward and almost fell down, but he still slept very deeply, and did not wake up.

The chariot was pulled by eight horses of BMW from the Western Regions, although she was trained to walk steadily, Shen Mushi was still afraid that she would fall and become crippled, so she had to sit on her side, let her head rest on her shoulder, look at the bloody remnant sun outside, and return to the palace quietly.

Just arrived at the gate of the East Palace, the sky has been dark, the people have lit the lamp, the whole city is lit up, the imperial city of carved railings and jade is shining with a little golden light in the night, it is brilliant and magnificent.

The chariot stopped in front of the palace gate, and the palace people urged the two to get out of the car in unison.

Shen Mushi looked sideways at Shuangshuang, who was still asleep, and wondered a little in his heart, did she make her so tired today? It's just a sacrifice, and this physical strength is inevitably too bad.

He didn't know that they had been sleeping for months in a row since they got married.

Now that the wedding is decided, the prince's attitude towards her makes her feel like pins and needles, trembling, and her nerves are tense all the time.

Today, I finally treated her gently, and as soon as the whole person relaxed, she slept a little heavily.

Shen Mushi patted Shuangshuang's face lightly, only to see her mutter, frown, and drill into her neck. The emerald gold crown on her head pierced his neck slightly, and he frowned in displeasure.

Seeing that he couldn't wake up people, the palace people stared at the two of them with small eyes, and Shen Mushi couldn't hold it on his face, so he simply beat people sideways and got out of the car.

Shen Mushi walked inward, secretly measuring the people in his hands.

The heavy and heavy dare is the heavy clothes, only to know why the little man in his arms is walking slowly today and why he is so tired.

I saw her figure last night, slender and measured, it couldn't be that she was overweight. It's really embarrassing for her to have such a thin body to support such a heavy service all day.

A palace maid saw the prince get out of the carriage, holding the sleeping princess in her arms, and was anxious to take over, but Shen Mushi just shook his head and stepped into the East Palace.

Xiaoshuang heard the report from the personal maid in the Hanxian Palace, hurriedly put on her coat and prepared to greet her, whispered a few words to the maidservant, and walked to the Weiyang Palace, the prince's residence.

The incense path at night is filled with the fragrance of evening primrose, and the red lanterns hung for the prince's wedding are all in the middle of the road, which emit even light in the night.

Shen Mushi hugged his shuangshuang and walked alone, and the palace people behind him all stood a few feet away with interest, following from a distance, and no one dared to disturb this quiet moment.

But there was a green shadow that came from afar, waiting at the end of the incense path.

Xiaoshuang looked at Shen Mushi, who was dressed in a red gold embroidered robe, and held the crown princess wearing a golden crown of Xia Hai in her arms, and the two walked slowly on the path where the night was as cold as water and the fragrance was blown.

His eyebrows are full of tranquility and gentleness, and he has been by his side for more than ten years, how could Xiaoshuang ever see such a Shen Mushi?

When did he look at himself with deep meaning? Let her tremble and panic, for fear of annoying him by not doing well enough, and then abandon herself, never to be relied on.

A few days before the wedding, she went to the side of the female history of the Shangyi Bureau in the name of the East Palace, and watched the female history write the names of the two on the Hehuan Geng post:

Shen Mushi and Lu Shuangshuang married on the fifteenth day of August in the year of Yiwei, got married at noon, and the wedding lasted for ten days, sleeping together. The two of them even matched their names like this, which made her unwilling.

Obviously, Lu Xiaoshuang and Lu Shuangshuang are only one word apart, and even their surnames are similar. Why is it not himself who is by Shen Mushi's side today? Why is it not himself who is sleeping in Shen Mushi's arms now?

Is it because she doesn't have a prominent family background that she is destined to be inferior forever?

Lu Shuangshuang now enjoys the treatment and grace that she has never had.

Xiaoshuang only felt a trace of resentment, a trace of pain, and suspicion and jealousy slowly staining her whole body, love and hatred, she stood there lonely and hastily without moving, looking at Shen Mushi with resentment in her eyes.
