Chapter 39: Displacement (1)
Since King Qin personally sent Yumo back to the Prime Minister's Mansion on the twenty-third day of the winter month, and revealed his affection for her in front of everyone, the situation of Yumo's mother and daughter in the mansion finally improved, and Jiang Chengze was not as cold as before, and the mother and daughter finally had a comfortable New Year.
In the twenty-seventh year of Zhenyuan, on the fifteenth day of the first month, the prince got married.
Jiang Yuxi is a young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the person who married her is the current prince, and the pomp and circumstance of the wedding is naturally luxurious and rich to the extreme.
Stained with the light of the rainy wedding, the Xuyuan where Mrs. Xue's mother and daughter lived was also cleaned up three days ago, and the coldness and loneliness of the past have long been swept away at this moment.
This day has passed, and the prime minister's house has been busy, and the lights are everywhere, and it is extremely festive. Mrs. Xue and Jiang Yumo also went to the Furong Garden early in the morning to say hello to Yuxi, although they have never loved each other on weekdays, but they are sisters after all.
Fang stepped into Jiang Yuxi's boudoir, and was so dazzling that he couldn't help but raise his sleeves to cover his eyes, and his heart also followed a burst of warmth, Yuxi in front of him was wearing a delicate and beautiful red wedding dress, wearing a golden silk and jade phoenix crown, the original delicate face was wrapped in heavy makeup, the red lips were lightly pursed, and the apricot eyes were like water, and glanced at the prime minister and Mrs. Ping who were sitting opposite her, and knelt down and said: "The daughter is not filial, she can no longer bear the knees, I only hope that my father and mother will live and be healthy, even if my daughter is in the palace, she will always pray for her father!" ”
"Good girl! When you go to the East Palace, you have to take care of yourself! Don't worry about your parents! Jiang Chengze tearfully helped her up, Mrs. Ping had already burst into tears at this time, Mrs. Xue hurriedly handed her a silk handkerchief, and stroked her shoulder slightly, "Sister, don't cry your eyes, today is a great joy for Xi'er, sister should be happy for her!" ”
Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Ping have always been at odds because of their competition for favor on weekdays, but today they are temporarily released from their previous suspicions, and they are in harmony.
Yumo also showed a rare eldest sister demeanor, picking up a handkerchief to gently wipe away the tears for Yuxi, and then picked up the rouge box on the dressing table to cover the tear stains on her cheeks one by one.
"My sister is married, my sister has nothing good to give my sister as a gift, this hibiscus jade pendant is given by the late Queen Xiaoxian, my sister cherishes it very much, and I will give it to my sister today! I wish my sister and the prince Qinse and Ming, and the husband and wife love each other to the end of the day! ”
Jiang Yumo held back her tears and put the pendant in her hand on for her, and the tears that Yuxi had stopped swirling in her eyes again, at this moment she realized that they were blood sisters after all, even if they quarreled in the past, they could not stop the fact that they were sisters.
Now that she is about to marry into the East Palace as she wishes, thinking of all the past experiences, she actually sympathizes with the plight of their mother and daughter. Thinking about it carefully, Mrs. Xue was also very good to her and her mother in the years when she was favored by her father, and she never slacked off every morning and dusk, but her mother was born in a famous family and had her own proud bones, so they have never been close to each other. Now, she is married into the East Palace with the glory of the Jiang family, and she must not be able to live up to her father's high expectations, but according to Jiang Yumo's temperament, I am afraid that her father will not be relieved.
Thinking of this, Yuxi's heart was stagnant, with tears in her eyes, but the corners of her lips were smiling, holding Yumo's hand, and said: "Thank you sister, sister is here, please take care of everything at home!" Daddy is old, my sister still tries to follow his old man, don't mess with Aunt Xue for my sister's affairs! Saying that, she couldn't help but shed tears, Mrs. Ping on the side was reluctant to give up her daughter, and at this time she had already followed Yuxi to raise her sleeves to wipe her tears, and Yumo's heart was also slightly pantothenic when she saw this.
Compared with the past, what Jiang Yuxi said to her today is pertinent, after all, over the years, it is she Jiang Yumo who has been constantly causing trouble for the Prime Minister and her father. Although their sisters are not close, but after all, they are flesh and blood, and they are about to marry women in the rain, and they must follow the royal etiquette when they meet in the future, and Yumo also has a reluctance in his heart.
At this moment, gongs and drums could be heard outside, and the sound of firecrackers passed through the corridor, and a sound of "auspicious time has arrived!" After that, the door was pushed open, and the bride entered the house with a smile on her face.
"Xiangye, madam! The auspicious time has arrived, and the prince's wedding sedan chair is waiting at the gate! Xi Niang urged with a smile.
Jiang Chengze slowly got up and walked to the door, looking up at the sky, the weather was very good on this day, although it was in the first month, the weather was cold, but it was a rare sunny day, the blue clear sky, cloudless, only occasionally a slight cool breeze blowing on the face, making people feel comfortable.
"Daddy! It's not good to miss the hour! Jiang Yumo was a little stunned when he saw him, but the bride was already a little anxious, so she had to step forward and remind him in a low voice.
"Go ahead!" Jiang Chengze's voice fell, and Xi Niang couldn't wait to wave to the maid waiting at the door to step forward, cover the Xipa with a rainy phoenix crown, and help her slowly walk out.
Mrs. Ping had already leaned on Mrs. Xue's arms and cried into tears, she only had a daughter under her knees, and her feelings of reluctance were indescribable.
Jiang Chengze, the prime minister who has always been calm, couldn't bear the parting scene, and he had already turned around, and the tears in his eyes still fell silently after all.
Listening to the footsteps getting farther and farther away, Mrs. Ping straightened up from Mrs. Xue's arms, and said blankly with red eyes: "Xiangye, let's go!" Don't tell Xi'er to wait for a long time! ”
After finishing speaking, he stepped forward to hold Jiang Chengze's wide sleeves, and then looked back and motioned for Mrs. Xue to accompany him, and the three of them slowly walked out of the door, and when they came to the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yumo was already waiting at the gate of the mansion with the bride and her party.
Under the steps, the guard of honor wrapped in Xuanyi stretched all the way from the Prime Minister's Mansion to the Xuanwu Gate, revealing a strong majesty in luxury.
Prince Xuanyuan Lang wears a crown of purple gold and jade, a red and gold-inlaid silk robe, a colorful flower-saving jasper jue around his waist, and a small golden court boot with Xuansi, riding a high-headed horse, and his knife-like face is full of the arrogance of the pride of the sky.
Listening to the endless sound of ritual music, as well as the envy of the ordinary people watching the ceremony outside the mansion gate, Jiang Yuxi under the joy finally stopped sobbing, like water, her eyes flashed with a different color, and the smile on the corner of her lips slowly emerged, she finally waited for this day......
This wedding can be described as extravagant and extravagant. The cost of the honor guard of the Ministry of Rites alone will cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, not to mention that the prince has renovated the entire East Palace in order to show his grandeur, and built a courtyard for his princess at the foot of Xianyuan Mountain, called "Xi Garden". It is rumored that the extravagance in the garden is three points better than that of Changle Palace, it is actually white jade for the wall, gold and stone for tiles, and there are many rare treasures as furniture, the prince's intentions for this princess can be seen.
It stands to reason that during the ice disaster in the north, the royal family should bear the brunt of the thrifty wind, but Emperor Fuxuan was too sad because of the death of Concubine Mei and had not been in the court for many days, and the affairs of the court and the central government were all decided by the prince and the prime minister.
