Chapter 67 (+3) When you are drunk on the day of your wedding
The night ghost king Lei Jue has quietly left Xuancang, but Emperor Hengchen Prince Haoyuan has picked up a palace courtyard with a clear guard in the Xuancang Palace and lived there, and Yan Yu personally dispatched guards and maids to serve Di Heng, the prince who is the eldest of my mother's family although he does not know his intentions.
Although I was suffering from internal injuries, after all, I had a special physique, and by the day of the wedding I had recovered a lot, and the maidservants were busy dressing me up before dawn.
The wedding dress of the big red embroidered dragon looks similar to the dragon robe of Xuan Cang, I put it on honestly one by one, and the maid who combed my hair combed a very complicated bun, and the headdress designed by Yan Yu himself was matched with the style of this bun, and after all of them were worn, a red silk cover of the embroidered dragon covered the top of my head.
The festive and solemn guard of honor took me out of the emperor's bedroom, and Yan Che led my guard of honor as the head of my husband's family, sometimes stopping and bowing along the way, sometimes scattering grain and scattering beans, according to the wedding customs of Xuancang.
I walked and stopped until an hour and a half before I finally came to the door of the main hall.
Yan Yu was dressed in a red wedding dress, although it was not as bright and complicated as mine, but it was also a straight fit, and he was riding on the back of a little crossbow decorated with red horse harness, just like a fairy tale version of Prince Charming, and looked at me with a smile from afar.
When my guard of honor stopped, the chariot slowly fell to the ground, and the words came to me on horseback, neatly turned over and dismounted, and stretched out his right hand to me.
Even though I am a man, according to the rules of Xuancang, Yanyu's right hand must be wrapped with red spikes like my left hand. Against the backdrop of the red spikes, Yanyu's already fair complexion is even more peachy, which is very good-looking.
I handed my left hand to the palm of Yan Yu's right hand, he held me steady, and Yan Chelai tied the red spike pendant rope in my hands, which was like completing a concentric knot, which meant that the two people of the wedding were affectionately connected until death.
It's just that there was a lot of sweat in Yanyu's palms, and I don't know if it was due to nervousness.
In the music and drum music, Haoyuan as my eldest brother, Yan Che as the eldest sister of Yanyu sat on the top of the main hall, Yanyu led me all the way, and after receiving the congratulations of the ministers, I entered the main hall.
Although we are an imperial couple, the eldest brother Haoyuan is the father, and the eldest sister Yanche is the mother, and we have to kneel down and bow to them as parents.
After reading a long article that I didn't quite understand, Twilight Changyan announced that Yanyu could remove my hijab.
Yan Yu and I were connected with one hand, and with the other hand, he lifted the red silk covering me in front of me and gently placed it on the back of my head.
Following the rules, Yan Yu and I read the oath-like article that I had memorized in advance, and I just thought it was a process to read it, but Yan Yu had mist in his eyes and looked a little excited. Yanyu and I bowed again, and after the salute, the ministers made a chorus of congratulations.
Haoyuan, who was in a high position, walked down with Yan Che and came to us, Yan Che held my hand with tears in his eyes and said: "Your Majesty will be my brother-in-law in the future, although he is my younger brother, if he dares to bully you, the eldest sister must also be towards you, you can come to me to complain, see if I don't teach him a good lesson!" ”
Chen Wang Haoyuan also stood in front of Yan Yu, and after the two men both turned their heads sideways to read what Yan Che said to me, Hao Yuan put his hand to his mouth and coughed dryly, and was about to reach out to grab Yan Yu's hand.
Yan Yu leaned his hand back and whispered, "Lord Wang, men don't need to shake hands with each other to do this ritual as the elders advise." ”
"Is that so?" Haoyuan tilted his head and asked Yan Che: "This king is from Diheng, and he doesn't know much about Xuancang's rules, can my sister give me some advice?" ”
Yan Che lowered his voice and said, "How do I know, I'm a night ghost." ”
Haoyuan was very persistent in Yanyu's hand, and said with a smile: "Hold your hand and say that it seems sincere, brother-in-law, you will just take it." As he spoke, Hao Yuan spread out his palms towards Yan Yu.
I saw that the corners of Yan Yu's eyebrows twitched, and Yan Yu must have been stubborn before handing his hand to Hao Yuan.
"That's right," Hao Yuan also came up with his other hand, and stroked the back of Yanyu's hand a few times, but did not follow the rules to say the words of advice.
Yan Yu frowned and urged: "If the prince has touched enough, he will tell the instructions, and Hu'er and I will have to go to Lingmu Valley to worship before it can be considered a ceremony." ”
"Oh." Hao Yuan pursed his lips, raised his voice and said: "From today on, this king will hand over Sister Hu to you to take care of, you two must love each other and have a few more babies, Xuancang is sparsely populated, you have to set an example and work hard!" ”
Yan Yu's face became extremely ugly, and I was also a little embarrassed. This King Chen is really a cynical character, and he dares to talk nonsense on serious occasions.
But Haoyuan's words made my courtiers very happy, and there was a burst of chuckles and coaxing from them, which was really unruly! I glared back at Twilight Changyan, who quickly knelt up and waved his hand to the courtiers behind him, and the group fell silent.
The ceremony in the main hall was over, and Yan Yu led me out of the main hall again, and I saw Lei Nian standing there at the gate of Lingmu Valley, and Xuanhu was also beside him.
I smiled at Lei Nian, and Lei Nian also smiled and nodded at me. Since Lei Du left, the tension between me and Lei Nian has eased a lot.
Walking down the spiraling stairs all the way down to the bottom of the valley decorated with human bone totems, the withered spirit wood branches opened their teeth and claws, and I felt a hint of coolness on my body, and leaned towards Yanyu.
Twilight Changyan put my spirit wood under the thick trunk, "Please Your Majesty and Prince put your hands on the spirit tree." ”
Yan Yu and I did the same, but when my hand touched the spirit wood, there was a faint flowing golden light in the cracks of the tree's withered and cracked trunk. I thought I had read it wrong, and when I looked up at Yan Yu, Yan Yu also looked shocked.
Seeing this, the ministers who followed into the Lingmu Valley knelt down one after another, shouting that Lingmu was resurrected, Xuancang was resurrected, and long live the Empress Xuanhu.
I raised my eyes and wanted to see if Xuanhu had seen this scene, but the difference in terrain was too large, and Xuanhu only had a small figure on it, and I couldn't know her reaction at the moment.
After Yan Yu and I worshipped the Lingmu together, the wedding was completed, and after we were sent back to the dormitory by everyone, Hao Yuan and Yan Che went to Zhang Luo's evening banquet, and Yan Yu sat with me on the festive bed in my dormitory.
"Is Hu'er tired?" Yan Yu asked with a smile.
I shook my head and said I wasn't tired, then raised my hand and asked, "Can this red spike be untied?" ”
Yan Yu untied the red spike and said to me: "You can't drink, I'll deal with the wine banquet in the evening with Lord Chen and the eldest sister, you can rest here and wait for me to come back." ”
"Hmm." I nodded, "By the way, Brother Yan, how much do you drink?" ”
"I can only say that the amount of alcohol I drink is acceptable, and I don't know what it will be like at night."
"Uh, then do you want to ask Lord Chen to help block it?"
The corners of Yan Yu's eyebrows twitched again, and he smiled bitterly: "It's a blessing that he doesn't pour me, how can he help me." ”
I thought about it, Prince Jichen is not afraid of making a big fuss, but he is afraid of having nothing to do, and he is indeed very likely to take the lead in pouring the wine of the Yanyu.
Seeing that I was worried, Yanyu smiled and scratched the tip of my nose and said, "You have a good rest, it is okay to be drunk on the day of the wedding, with the eldest sister and the national teacher watching, I will be fine." ”
