Chapter 44: The Prince's Wedding (1)
In the eighteenth year of Longwu, on the seventh day of the ninth month, the crown prince Nie Xingyi got married, marrying the eldest princess and the daughter of the Marquis.
The wedding ceremony was unprecedented, and the whole country celebrated.
There are as many as nine layers of phoenix crowns, hairpin dresses, and stacked hairpin dresses, with different colors in layers, showing a gradient of red and orange from the inside out. Supplemented by the blue-green wide-sleeved Luo Jin Zhai dress, it is the princess's wedding dress.
Even if Wei Nong had tried it several times before, it was still overwhelmed at the moment, not to mention the intricate golden emerald hairpins that filled the bun.
The long wedding ceremony lasted for several hours, and by the time the ceremony was completed, it was almost late at night. The red sand in the East Palace Hanzi Hall hangs low, and the night is like a layer of red veil, charming and warm.
The sound of steady footsteps came from outside the hall, startling the veiled slightly. Along the way, the congratulations of the palace maids came and went, all hinting at who it was. The slightly overlapping hands tightened, silently revealing resistance.
Pushing open the door of the hall containing the purple hall, the crown prince Nie Xingyi, who was wearing a wedding robe, stepped into it, walked through the main hall, walked through the side hall, turned the curtain, bypassed the screen, and finally walked slowly to the marriage bed.
With a "click", he put the brocade box he brought on the Qingluan peony and red sandalwood table in front of the couch.
"You stand down first." He whispered, and pulled the people back from the room.
"Your Highness, this ...... The number of rituals is not over yet! Said the experienced grandmother.
The crown prince has always been gentle, and this moment is no exception, a smile hung on his lips, and he said softly: "The rest of the etiquette, the widow will do it with the crown princess." What's the matter, Mama is afraid that the widow doesn't understand? ”
"The old slave doesn't dare." Mama was well-informed in the palace, and when she saw this situation, she knew that something was different, so she had to report the rest of the etiquette, and specially emphasized that the wine on the case must be drunk. After chattering like this for a long time, he took all the palace maids who served to retreat.
From beginning to end, the crown prince Nie Xingyi was smiling all the time, and no one knew how much he listened. When only he and Wei Nong were left in the hall, he used a gold pick to pick up the bride's hijab and looked at the makeup face in front of him.
It was a strange and familiar face that belonged to his wife. But he couldn't see the slightest joy from her, she was still as light as he remembered, not willing, not unwilling.
Nie Xingyi sneered, picked up a glass of wine on the table without saying a word, and handed it over. Wei Nongsu took it in his hand, exchanged a glass with him, and drank it all.
"Qingcheng," Nie Xingyi said with a smile as he played with the Golden Cup, "You are reluctant to marry." "It's not a question, it's a certainty.
"Are you willing to marry?" Wei Min raised his eyes to look at his silhouette. She thought that now that she had reached this point, she didn't have to hide anything anymore.
Husbands and wives do this, and they don't know whether it's fortunate or unfortunate.
Nie Xingyi didn't answer, took the gold cup in her hand, put it back on the case, and opened the brocade box she brought, pointing to it: "This is a congratulatory gift handed over to me by the second brother, don't you take a look?" ”
Wei Nong didn't even know what it was. It's just that she didn't expect that Nie Xingji would be so direct and so unsparing. That day in the Rongchang pawnshop, the prince saw him redeem the Emei thorn with his own eyes, and went around and around, and today he sent it openly and openly as a wedding gift for the prince.
The intention is self-evident.
"He's demonstrating to me? Or is it hinting at something to me? Nie Xingyi smiled coldly: "My second brother has become so arrogant. ”
Wei Nong did not answer. Oh, yes! King Yan has exhausted all his plans, and his goal has been achieved. Jinghou, who has always been forbearant and restrained, is about to fight back.
(I found a wedding dress for the crown princess described in the article [Haidian dress], which is green as a whole, and it is the wedding dress of the Tang Dynasty.) The word "red man and green woman" is to describe the marriage dress of men and women in the Tang Dynasty. Of course, what I described in the article is a little more complicated than the picture, and I really couldn't find a more suitable picture! )
