Time has come to the second day of the second month of February, which is the auspicious day of the prince's wedding. Because Du Yuanru was married, when the Jiang family reported to Mrs. Yu, Wen Yi also listened attentively for a long time.

Although because of the urgent military situation in northern Xinjiang and the fact that the disaster has just eased, the prince wants all the ceremonies to be simple, but after all, it is the wedding of the prince of a country, and no matter how simple it is, it is limited, and it is impossible to delete the procedures that should be made, otherwise wouldn't it be ridiculous and generous?

Since the end of the first month, the palace has been busy, the palace envoy went to the Dongyang Hou Mansion early to take care of the princess's entry into the palace, and the Dongyang Hou Mansion has also closed its doors since three days ago, concentrating on preparing for the marriage of the eldest daughter Du Yuanru. After the princess came out of her mother's house, which way should Feng Yuan take, where to turn, where to stop, from which gate to enter the palace, which way to go after entering the palace, where to go after entering the palace, where the princess will leave, in addition, there is also the crown prince and the princess need to pay a big salute in which palace, in which palace to greet the emperor and queen mother, where the palace banquet will be held, who will attend, what kind of ceremony to perform to the newlyweds, and so on, etc., have been well planned.

On the first day of the second lunar month, the whole capital began to clean the road, and the officials of the Ministry of Industry led people to repeatedly sweep the road from the Dongyang Marquis Mansion to the gate of the Imperial Palace, and paved with a thin layer of new soil. After the clearance was completed, the officials of the Ministry of Rites responded again, and arranged manpower to inspect the customs and block the curtain. By the early morning of the second day of the new year, the whole capital was already quiet, outside the palace, the forbidden army guards, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, Taichang Temple, Guanglu Temple, Taifu Temple, Honglu Temple and the 24 yamen in the palace, as well as the officials and nobles, the women and officials, etc., were already waiting for the auspicious time.

As the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, the eldest master of the Gu family naturally wants to participate in it. For three nights, he couldn't go home to sleep, and even Jiang was worried, but when she talked about her husband's participation in such a glorious event, she felt that her face was shining, and she kept repeating the rituals she had heard from her husband in front of her mother-in-law and the old lady.

Although Mrs. Yu has experienced a lot of things, she has never seen such a grand event, but she also heard it with relish, and said: "This daughter of the Dongyang Hou family is really a great blessing, like her, the crown prince and concubine who are welcome from the main gate of the palace have not had it for sixty-three years. The last one who had this honor was the biological mother of the first emperor, Emperor Taizong married the princess when he was still the prince, and later posthumously named the one who was named the queen of Xiaodezhuang, but the one who gave birth to the first emperor three years later, gave birth to the late Lao Kang Wang, and soon died, even in the main hall of the palace by the queen's golden book Emperor Taizong did not have the order until he ascended the throne, and never welcomed a new princess into the door, or the courtiers repeatedly knocked on the invitation, and only then did he loosen his mouth and straighten the Liangdi when he was in the palace. Later, the crown princess of the first emperor did not become the queen, and the current queen mother was welcomed into the middle palace after the first emperor succeeded to the throne, and she did not become a princess. And today, although the saint is the main palace heir, but he has not been crowned the crown prince for a long time, so the queen has never been the crown princess, after the death of the first emperor, after a chaos, directly followed the saint into the palace to ascend the throne. In this way, the daughter of the Du family is still the first crown princess to be welcomed in from the main gate of the palace in more than 60 years, but I don't know......" She paused and didn't say any more.

Wen Yi frowned, thinking to herself, did she mean that she didn't know if Du Yuanru had the blessing to sit on the throne of the crown princess smoothly and be in the middle palace after the crown prince ascended the throne? Wen Yi was a little unhappy in her heart, as long as today passed, Du Yuanru was the prince's wife, and the glory and favor of his life were related to the prince's pity, as long as the prince was not a fool, he would not do anything to sacrifice his wife and wife and support his uncle's family, and as long as the Zheng family no longer produced demon moths, how could Du Yuanru's position as the crown princess be unstable? As far as she knew, Du Yuanru was in good health, almost never got sick once a year, and Mrs. Dongyang Hou was careful and would never sit idly by and watch her daughter's body change. Even if the Dongyang Hou family leaves Beijing, there is still the Huguo Mansion.

Anyway, when Mrs. Yu said this kind of thing, it would be good if it didn't get out, but if it did, it would be another storm.

Wen Xian seemed to think of this, looked at her grandmother with a pale face, and stopped talking, and the handkerchief in her hand was about to be twisted into strips of cloth. Wen Hui frowned, glanced at her grandmother, and then pursed her lips, but didn't say anything. Wen Juan didn't seem to hear anything wrong, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of Wen Ya's mouth, but it quickly disappeared.

Jiang Shi looked at his mother-in-law again and again, hesitating.

Probably the old lady Yu also regretted that she said something she shouldn't have said, coughed, then raised her hand and rubbed the corners of her forehead, closed her eyes and said, "I'm tired, you guys should disperse, just eat lunch in the house, and come back to talk to me in the evening." Then leaned back on the pillow behind him, "Ruyi, come and beat my legs"

"Yes, old lady." Ruyi responded softly, took the beauty hammer over, glanced at Jiang and the others, Jiang was excited, and hurriedly smiled and beckoned the juniors to salute and leave. It's just that she really wanted to continue the previous topic, so she called Wen Hui and Wen Yi to her room and talked about it again. Wen Xian took Wen Juan back to the room sullenly, and Wen Ya went to find her biological mother without mentioning it.

Wen Yi listened to the prince's wedding ceremony for a long time, and it was not until near the evening that someone outside came in to talk back to the Jiang family, and then she got out.

On the way back to the room, Wen Hui still had a little envy in her eyes, talking about what kind of chariot Du Yuanru sat in when she entered the palace, what kind of jewelry she was wearing, what kind of clothes she was wearing, and how she would be respected in the future, but in Wen Yi's heart, she only remembered the word "complicated".

The simplified wedding ceremony is already so complicated, if it is normal, how heavy will it be? This is just a big wedding, which means that every New Year's Festival in the future, or when there is a grand ceremony in the imperial court, how will Du Yuanru, as a concubine, deal with it? No wonder the eldest uncle and grandmother, Mrs. Yu, would question whether Du Yuanru is blessed to sit on the queen's throne, such a day, no matter how good his body is, how long can he support it? No wonder I always heard that the nobles in the palace, as well as the princesses and princesses of various provinces, were always sick......

Wen Yi had a faint thought in her heart: In fact, it is also beneficial to marry a husband whose identity is not obvious......

The prince's wedding was over, and except for a few small accidents during the period, such as the chain of the incense burner and the imperial lamp was broken, or the colored flag was blown by the wind, or the mount of the forbidden army's honor guard was found to have a problem, but fortunately it was discovered early and replaced with a good horse in time, etc., the whole ceremony was completed smoothly. The Zheng family is very peaceful, the Dongping Mansion is very peaceful, the Dongyang Marquis Mansion and the Huguo Mansion are also very calm, and even the day after the wedding, the Dongping Mansion sent someone to the Zheng family to discuss the wedding. As for the prince Liangdi and a child, they quietly entered the palace in a sedan chair on the days arranged by the Ministry of Rites, except for Lin Liangdi, who also had a small ceremony, and got the honor of meeting the queen mother, the emperor and the queen, the rest of the people were just living in the small courtyard of the East Palace. The newly appointed Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a person who is far more diligent in political affairs than in the backyard, and the princess is upright, so ten days after the wedding, the prince only stayed with the princess for three days in a row, and stayed at Lin Liangdi's place for another day, and the rest of the people were not even lucky.

An official once wrote to persuade the prince to attach importance to his heirs, but he was scolded back by the emperor, accusing him of being nosy. Later, someone reported that he was the uncle of one of the children, and it was selfish to write the book, so he was completely disliked and sent to a remote place to be an official, and the son fell out of favor before he was favored.

Then there was gossip that the emperor and the crown prince both hoped to have a grandson first, so the latter did not go to find other concubines, even Lin Liangdi, who was given medicine afterwards.

The timing of this news is a little delicate, because the Zheng family happened to pick up a fourteen-year-old concubine who had been raised in their hometown for many years recently, and they also invited the grandmother from the palace to teach. It's just that within two days, news came out that the queen mother personally summoned the concubine of the Zheng family into the palace to meet her, and she liked it very much. Soon after the concubine of the Zheng family returned home from the palace, a messenger from the palace sent Zheng Guifei Niangniang jewelry to add makeup to her.

The Zheng family had no choice but to get married, and concentrated on organizing the eldest daughter's wedding first, and at the same time sent a letter to the family members who were preparing to go to Beijing, so that they didn't have to bring other concubines. There are some things that you don't have to do in a hurry, and it's okay to do them later.

Although these gossip news were all the secrets of the noble family, for some reason, they quickly spread throughout the capital. Some people who know about things are suspecting that someone is plotting against the Zheng family behind their backs, otherwise, why did they make a move, and it immediately became known to everyone? It's just the reaction in the palace, and people have to think about it, maybe it's the royal family who calculates the Zheng family?

The emperor is dissatisfied with the Zheng family? Although the Zheng family is the prince's uncle's family, but they already have military power in their hands, their hearts are getting bigger and bigger, and now they are going to marry the Dongping Palace, and the emperor's dissatisfaction with the Dongping Palace, everyone can see it, maybe the emperor has begun to guard against Zheng Taiwei in his heart, right? At this time, Taiwei Zheng also tried to send a woman into the East Palace as a concubine, which was simply an act that angered Shengyan

Some people also say that this is made by the royal family to show the Dongyang Marquis Mansion and the Huguo Mansion, after all, the northern Xinjiang is in an emergency, and now the only generals who can win the battle in the north are their people.

As soon as this speculation spread, it immediately caused a small panic inside and outside the capital. Could it be that there is really a war going on in the north?

But the little panic didn't last long. On February 15th, it was the Flower God Festival, the queen mother opened a flower viewing party in the palace, announced that the royal palaces, noble ladies and women entered the palace to participate, and on the second day, several palaces organized flower viewing parties in their respective gardens, and sent posts everywhere to invite guests, as if it was a peaceful and prosperous weather.

In Shilang's mansion, Wen Xian, Wen Hui and Wen Yi were all invited by Zhu Nuan, the small county of Luwang's Mansion.

Wen Xian finally received a post from Lu Wangfu many days later, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, secretly happy, and told herself that all her previous worries were superfluous, in fact, it was because it was the New Year, and Lu Wangfu had a lot of things, so she didn't care about her. Because she was so happy, she didn't even notice that Wen Juan was angry because she didn't receive the post.

Wen Yi was very calm, looked at the content of the post intently, looked up at the mother-in-law who came to deliver the post, asked a few words, and learned that the sisters of the Ruan family, the Long family, the Cha family and the young lady of the Li family had all been invited, and she was very happy, and she had the opportunity to meet her friends again

Wen Hui stared at the post for a while, and then looked at the woman with a straight face and asked, "Did Miss Zheng receive the post?" ”

The mother-in-law smiled and replied: "Yes, the two young ladies of the Zheng family are in the capital, and the little junjun has sent a post." ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Wen Hui, but also Wen Xian, Wen Yi, as well as Old Lady Yu, Jiang Shi, Wen Juan Wenya, Jiang Yao and others, were stunned, and then the others immediately turned their eyes to Wen Hui.

The mother-in-law added a few more words at this time: "There are also the princes of Dongping Palace, as well as the young masters and young ladies of Liu Shangshu's family, all of them have got posts, and the little ones have just come from Liu Shangshu's house, and Mrs. Liu also said that several young masters and young ladies must go."

The faces of the crowd became more subtle.

Wen Yi coughed lightly and quietly pulled Jiang's sleeve. Jiang Shi came to his senses at this time, barely squeezed out a smile, rewarded the mother-in-law with a thick reward, and instructed Mama Gu to send the person away, and then turned around, and said to the old lady a little helplessly: "Mother-in-law...... On the day of the cherry blossom viewing party...... Why don't you let Hui'er get sick? ”

"No," Old Madam Yu categorically rejected her proposal, "Didn't you hear?" The people of the Liu family are also going to go that day, and we sent a letter to the Liu family a few days ago, saying that the six girls are all well and can start preparing for the engagement, if she is asked to sue for illness at this time, what will the Liu family think? ”

Jiang's eyes were red, and he looked at his daughter, almost crying. Why would she want her daughter to miss this flower viewing party? Since her daughter was grounded, she has been looking forward to her daughter being able to go out to socialize, but I don't know how long she has been looking forward to it, but she is just ...... If Dongping Wang Shizi and Zheng Lijun and others want to participate, then the daughter is really not as good as not going, although it may cause misunderstanding among the Liu family, but it is also a relative, as long as you explain it later, it is still feasible.

Wen Yi glanced at Wen Hui and whispered, "What does the sixth sister think?" In fact...... The garden of Luwangfu is very large, and my sister only needs to walk around with us, don't come forward to greet other people, and it is not difficult to avoid it. ”

Wen Xian wanted to speak and stopped, and hesitated for a while before saying, "I didn't refuse, and I didn't say I would go until that day...... It seems to be too rude, will it offend King Lu's Mansion? The sixth sister should go, stay with us quietly, and don't make trouble. ”

Wen Hui glanced at her, revealing a sneer: "Don't worry about the fifth sister, I have my own measure" Then she stood up, walked in front of Old Madam Yu, and said solemnly: "Grandmother, please let your granddaughter go, her granddaughter has changed, and she will never do anything that will disgrace the Gu family." The granddaughter can swear that if she makes another mistake in this trip, she will be left to her grandmother's disposal" paused, and then softened her figure: "Grandmother, they are all relatives, in the future, I will marry her separately, and there will still be a day when we will see each other again, can I avoid it for the rest of my life?" It's better to put aside your worries and meet generously. She can't argue with me in front of everyone, can she? ”

Jiang Shi was so excited that he wiped away his tears, and Old Madam Yu hesitated for a while before she nodded: "Okay, then you ...... Good for yourself"
