Zhou Jinxuan has a lot of fiefs and shops, and this time his daughter got married, Zhou Jinxuan also took out hundreds of shops and 800 acres of fertile land as a dowry, and also let Zhou Zhengzheng bring it over.
Knowing that Zhou Jinxuan and Lin Yu prepared a rich dowry for Zhou Zhengzheng, the court was a little surprised, and some officials even started the idea of Zhou Zhengzheng's sister.
And when the Duke of Wu was busy preparing the dowry, in the palace, hundreds of eunuchs and palace maids were preparing for the prince's wedding.
The prince's wedding, a major event of the country, even the generals who were guarding the border pass also rushed back to participate.
And for decoration, the palace is full of red lanterns and red silk cloth, and on the main corridors, there are big red carpets.
Fresh poultry meat, vegetables and fruits transported from all over the country were transported into the imperial city one by one, and fine wine and jade syrup were also sent in one after another.
In order to prepare for the banquet, the Ministry of Internal Affairs asked all the imperial chefs to call their brothers and sisters over to help, and for a while, the palace was full of people, so it was not lively.
Late at night, Lin Zhongchao couldn't sleep with some excitement, and he was going to greet his relatives the next day, leaning on the window, looking at the direction of Wu Guogong's mansion, and I don't know if Zhou Zhengzheng was asleep at this moment.
It seems that he has a heart, Zhou Zhengzheng at this time is not asleep, standing at the window, looking into the distance, on the table behind him, is a set of red makeup that has been sorted out, tomorrow, Zhou Zhengzheng will be dressed neatly, and he will be together happily with Lin Zhongchao forever.
Zhou Zhengzheng's dowry had been sent to the palace the day before. In the evening of the next day, Lin Zhongchao wore a red dress and led a large group of people to the mansion of Wu Guogong.
Luan Yiwei prepared a red satin sedan chair surrounded by eight colored sedan chairs closely followed Lin Zhongchao, and the wife of the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who had been selected in advance to be the same as the birthday of the governor, led eight female officials, including the wife of the internal manager, to the palace of the Duke of Wu and the palace of the prince to pay respects to the marquis, and the commander of the infantry army had already cleared the road from the palace gate to the palace of the Duke of Wu.
"The auspicious time is coming", Zhou Zhengzheng wore a red dress, and went up and down the sedan chair and the curtain with the support of the attendant female officer.
After that, the eight eunuchs lifted it, and the lantern sixteen and the torch twenty walked in front. Along the way, the vocal music continued, and the sound of firecrackers was endless,
All the way to the outside of the prince's palace.
After that, Zhou Zheng got off the sedan chair and entered the hall with the support of the female steward, and in the middle hall, the red candles were swaying, the hundred officials were lined up, and the grand ceremony began immediately.
The emperor was dressed in golden clothes and sat high on the throne, and the queen's seat was vacant.
Lin Zhongchao took Zhou Zhengzheng's hand with a red ribbon and slowly walked onto the high platform.
"Worship heaven and earth!" Following the slogan of the master of ceremonies and eunuchs, Lin Zhongchao and Zhou Zhengzheng both knelt down to the south, and then bowed slightly.
Then he stood up.
Lin Zhongchao was afraid that Zhou Zheng would not be able to stand steadily, and the red silk he was holding was also slowly pulled up.
"Second worship high hall!"
Lin Zhongchao and Zhou Zhengzheng slowly turned around and saluted the emperor who was sitting on a high seat.
"Hurry up, hurry up." The emperor stretched out his hand with a smile on his face.
"Husband and wife worship each other!"
After that, Lin Zhongchao and Zhou Zhengzheng stood opposite each other, bowed slightly to each other, and saluted.
Subsequently, Zhou Zhengzheng was picked up by the female official and entered the cave room first.
At the banquet, there were countless fine wines, Lin Zhongchao raised his glass and drank happily, and after three rounds of wine, he gradually became a little drunk.
At this time, Lin Zhongchao was no longer greedy for cups, on the wedding night, Zhou Zhengzheng was already waiting in the cave room, Lin Zhongchao didn't want Zhou Zhengzheng to face a group of people in the cave room alone.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the old minister wishes you a happy marriage and an early birth of a noble son." A gray-haired minister came over and toasted.
"Thank you, thank you." Lin Zhongchao raised his glass and thanked him, but he only took a sip and didn't finish it.
Afterwards, Lin Zhongchao turned around and went to the side room, and took a nap under the care of several personal eunuchs.
Because of the secrecy of his actions, he did not attract anyone's attention.
Soon after, the auspicious time arrived, looking at this hour, it was not early, and some guests came forward one after another to congratulate their retirement. And most of the people who have not left are close relatives of the royal family, and the reason why they are still reluctant to leave is to wait for the most interesting moment, the cave room.
Ordinary people, there can be various ways to play in the cave room, but as everyone knows, His Royal Highness the Prince's wedding night also has a lot of joy.
"Let's go, let's go to the cave room." Zhou Xiaoxiao was dressed in a bright yellow dress, and walked quickly at the front, behind her, Zhou Yuheng and Yu'er, as well as Zhou Yuan and her cousin Zhou Yuan.
And Lin Zhongchao's side, maybe the emperor has something to say, and no one stays to embarrass Lin Zhongchao.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you married my sister today, you should always have an explanation for me." As soon as Zhou Xiaoxiao came up, he was going to give Lin Zhongchao a dismount.
On weekdays, it is impossible for anyone to dare to talk to the prince like this, but today is the day of the prince's wedding.
And Zhou Xiaoxiao also seized the rare opportunity to tease the prince.
"Your sister often praises you for being sensible and gentle, and I will help you find a wishful husband in the future." Lin Zhongchao smiled faintly, and his eyes were fixed on Zhou Zhengzheng.
Zhou Xiaoxiao wanted to dig a pit for Lin Zhongchao, but she didn't expect to dig a pit for herself, and she was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak.
Zhou Zhengzheng smiled: "Xiaoxiao is so naughty, it still hasn't changed when it's so big." ”
"Crown Princess, can I come and see you in the future?" The laughter continued, and suddenly there was a slightly crying voice.
Yu'er's eyes were a little red, and she looked straight at Zhou Zhengzheng, maybe she was afraid of Lin Zhongchao, so Yu'er hid behind Zhou Yuheng again.
"Of course you can," Zhou Zhengzheng agreed without thinking about it, for Yu'er, Zhou Zhengzheng is full of love, and even Zhou Zhengzheng himself is a little surprised.
Lin Zhongchao knew that Zhou Zhengzheng liked Yu'er, so he stepped forward and touched Yu'er's head, "When do you want to see Miss Zhou, just come over at any time, and I will prepare more delicious food for you." ”
"Really." Yu'er craned her neck, looked at it and suddenly laughed.
