Chapter 498: Princess Shang

The matter of the court came to an end, and when the results of the handling spread all over Xianyang City, the people of the city applauded, saying that those doctors were to blame.

Many ministers and nobles were in mixed moods, especially for the court lieutenant who became more and more jealous. After this episode, the wedding of the eldest princess and the eldest princess was no longer hindered, and after discussing the etiquette with Bongchang and Zongzheng, and determining the details of various specifications, it officially entered the implementation stage.

Weddings in this era generally consist of six procedures, namely Nacai, Najib, Najib, Nazheng, Invitation, and finally Greeting.

But because she is the princess of Shang, she is still the eldest princess of the first emperor since the beginning of the world. Therefore, the procedure is a little different from that of a normal wedding.

For example, in a general wedding, after asking for a celebrity ceremony, the man should go to his ancestral temple with the woman's name and birthday for divination.

If the result of the divination is auspicious, then it is naturally good, and the man will send someone to inform the woman of the auspicious omen of the divination and give a gift, which is Najib.

If it is unlucky, then this marriage may have the possibility of collapse, even if it is a lucky marriage, it will cast a shadow on the marriage of the two.

Zhao Tuo was born in the Zhao family, and his family's ancestral temple had already been demolished by the Qin army. And he didn't dare to rebuild the ancestral temple, because the people who were enshrined in it were all the kings of Zhao State.

But that's not a problem. Because he is a princess, the divination is carried out by the woman, and he does not need to worry about it.

Feng often used the names and birthdays of Zhao Tuo and the princess to divinate in the temple of Qin Guozong. Lucky! Good luck!

It's a match made in heaven, even the ancestors and ancestors of the surname Ying are applauded! Even the ancestral gods have said that it is okay, then there will be no problem with the rest of the procedures.

In the blink of an eye, the wedding date was finalized. March 3. It is the season of spring, full of life.

"On the day of the high media sacrifice, I really know how to pick the time." Zhao Tuo muttered. March 3 is the Shangji Festival that was only set in the Han Dynasty.

The people of the pre-Qin period had the custom of purifying on this day. The so-called purification, that is, bathing by the river, in order to wash away dirt and eliminate bad luck.

Legend originated from the Shang family's first concubine Jian Di, who swallowed the eggs of the Xuan Bird and gave birth to a child when she bathed on this day, giving birth to the ancestor of Yin Shang.

The Divine Destiny Bird descends to give birth to business. Jian Di was worshiped as a high media god, and in order to sacrifice her, the descendants purified her on this day to ask for a child.

The ancestors of the Qin State were a branch of the Yin Shang aristocracy, and their ancestors, female cultivators, also swallowed Xuanniao eggs before they became pregnant and gave birth to children.

The relationship between Qin and Yin Shang is difficult to sever, so this day is also a special day for the Qin people.

Setting the wedding time on the day when Jian Di swallowed the bird's egg and became pregnant can be said to be full of deep meaning. Once the wedding date is set, the next step is to notify your parents and friends to attend the wedding.

Zhao Tuo's parents are dead, the clan is scattered, there are no elders and relatives to notify, and Shima, Lishiqi, Black Buttocks and others who can be called friends are also in Xianyang City.

However, there are two more important people he needs to tell in person. Pinyang. In a super large mansion.

"Okay Zhao Tuo, when you made a giant cannon outside Jicheng back then, the old man knew that you were by no means an ordinary person, but he didn't expect you to do such a big thing at a young age, destroy the country and capture the king, and be a famous general in the world. Now she is not only the princess of the eldest concubine, but also the princess of the emperor, which is really enviable. Alas, when I saw you, the old man knew that he was really old. Wang Qian, who was full of gray hair, looked at the young man sitting in front of him and sighed with a smile on his face.

Zhao Tuo put down the chopsticks in his hand, glanced at the empty bowls on the eucalyptus in front of Wang Qian, and said with a smile: "The general can still eat several bowls of corn rice in one meal, and he eats more than me, so how can he talk about old age?" "Zhao Tuo is not called by a knighthood, but the above generals are commensurate, which is more close.

Wang Jian was praised by him and laughed out loud. He patted his stomach and smiled, "Of course." Don't look at you Zhao Tuo is young and strong, but he doesn't eat as much as the old man, the old man tells you that young people have to eat a lot...... Mutter...... Wait a while, and the old man will come when he goes. Wang Jian frowned halfway through his words, and hurriedly left holding his stomach, leaving only Zhao Tuo's face full of consternation.

"General, old man." Looking at Wang Qian's appearance of being lost in a hurry, Zhao Tuo sighed secretly. Wang Jian is the most important guide for him besides Li Xin.

In the two battles of Yan and Chu, Zhao Tuo was under Wang Jian and learned his art of war and tactics. Especially during the second attack on Chu, Wang Jian valued Zhao Tuo very much and ordered him to lead his troops to Dongjun to attack the Qi army, which made Zhao Tuo make great contributions to Zhencheng.

Such an old leader, Zhao Tuo naturally wanted to come and invite him in person. Of course, in addition to Wang Qian, there is another important person, Zhao Tuo, who wants to invite.

But that man was not in Xianyang.

"General Lee...... Zhao Tuo can't wait for you to come back. "The reason why Zhao Tuo has been able to reach today's status is that in addition to his own efforts and excellence, the appreciation of nobles is also a very important factor.

If it weren't for Li Xin's promotion and trust back then, there would be no glory of Zhao Tuo today. Li Xin is the most important person in Zhao Tuo's life.

Zhao Tuo naturally wanted General Li to attend his wedding. It's just that the other party is fighting in Liaodong, so it is impossible for him to come.

"I should personally write a letter to General Li about the wedding." Zhao Tuo looked to the northeast and whispered softly.

…… After inviting the wedding guests, Zhao Tuo returned to Xianyang and carefully prepared for his wedding.

Until March 3, the 26th year of the reign of King Qin. The weather was very good on this day, and the spring breeze was blowing, which made people feel refreshed.

The wedding is really a faint ceremony. It should be done at dusk. Therefore, when the sky was close to dusk, Zhao Tuo wore a knight's robe, wore a dress with black edges, took a lacquer car, and went to the Qin Palace surrounded by a group of servants.

Zhao Tuo, the young hero of the Qin Empire, the eldest princess of the first emperor of Shang Qin, the pomp and circumstance of the whole wedding was naturally very grand, and even surpassed the wedding of the eldest son a few days ago.

On Xianyang Avenue, there are black flags fluttering on both sides, and heavily armed Lang Wei patrols around. The people of the entire Xianyang City stood neatly on both sides of the road, looking forward to each other.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Someone shouted, and saw a fire dragon coming in the direction of the Chief's mansion. It was a servant leading with a candle in front, and a large number of musicians playing cheerful tunes in the back.

"Chief!" The Qin people around the road looked even more heroic and handsome when they saw the man on the painted car standing in the firelight, and cheered one by one.

"Princess Changshang, very good! Excellent! The crowd cheered and blessed the marriage.

Others wept with joy. A big man with a beard beat his chest and cried: "The eldest princess is going to be a princess!" When he followed General Li to win the victory, I knew that he could have today, woo woo woo ......" In the voice of the crowd, Zhao Tuo's face was also slightly red and excited.

After a while, the convoy came to the front of the Qin Guozong Temple. According to the words of the dusk ceremony: the master is extended to the temple, and the greeting is outside the door, and the son-in-law is holding the goose in.

That is, the woman's father will stand outside the temple, greet the son-in-law, and make three concessions with the son-in-law, and then the son-in-law will enter the temple hall and marry the beautiful bride waiting inside.

However, Zhao Tuo is the princess of Emperor Shang this time, so how can the high First Emperor make concessions with Zhao Tuo outside the temple?

And let the emperor wait for Zhao Tuo here in advance? How is this possible. There has always been only someone else waiting for the emperor, how can there be an emperor waiting for others!

But when Zhao Tuo came outside the temple, he was shocked. As far as his eyes could see, outside the temple surnamed Ying, in front of the towering and tall building.

A man dressed in black and wearing a crown of heaven was standing at the door of the temple with his hands in his hands. His body was tall, and just standing there was filled with endless majesty.

"The King...... Your Majesty......" Zhao Tuo muttered to himself, trembling with excitement from his heart to his body.

The emperor was waiting for him outside the temple.

"Minister Zhao Tuo, meet Your Majesty." Zhao Tuo immediately stepped forward, knelt down in front of the emperor, and bowed to the emperor.

The First Emperor bowed his head and looked at the young man who was prostrating himself in front of him. It would be impossible for anyone else, with the character of the emperor, to come here and wait.

But if it's Zhao Tuo. The emperor's mind came to mind when Jing Ke assassinated Qin, and the young man stood on top of the main hall and passionately stated the righteousness of the world.

At that time, he knew that this young man named Zhao Tuo was a confidant sent to him by God.

He wants the world. Zhao Tuo helped him get the world. Today, he wants to make the once heart-warming teenager his son-in-law and a real family.

"Zhao Tuo." The First Emperor spoke. He wanted to say something, but he didn't. In the end, he looked at Zhao Tuo with a complicated expression, and said softly: "You, very good." ”

"Your Majesty."

"Come in."

"Yui." The emperor turned around and walked into the temple. Zhao Tuo looked at his back, saluted again, and then followed.

The faint rite said: Pure clothes, standing in the room. The girl wore a headdress made of gold and jade, her face was painted with surging makeup, and her body was dressed in a solid color with black trim, and she stood in the middle of the house.

Princess. Zhao Tuo walked in, and the two looked at each other. A shy look flashed in her eyes, and she bowed her head slightly, her cheeks becoming more and more rosy.

In the temple, the emperor stood aside, and they couldn't talk nonsense. The two silently saluted to the ancestors of the Qin State enshrined in the temple.

"I am also a descendant of the surname Ying, everyone was a relative hundreds of years ago, and the kings of Qin should also bless me." Zhao Tuo muttered in his heart, and then bowed to the emperor, and the bride also saluted with Zhao Tuo.

The First Emperor looked at the couple in front of him without saying too much. His identity, his character, doomed the emperor to not be able to say many words of advice like an ordinary father.

"Go ahead."

"Yui."

"Yui." The newlyweds responded and bowed again, and then respectfully withdrew from the temple. watched the figures of the two disappear outside the temple gate.

A look of loneliness flashed in the eyes of the First Emperor. He turned his head and looked at the ancestors and kings of the Qin State enshrined in the temple behind him.

"It's good, you can't go wrong." …… Dusk Rite: Descend, Mistress Car. By the time the two of them walked out of the temple, the gorgeous women's chariot with the curtain was already waiting outside.

And behind the bride a large number of people followed. The bride's nurse and the many women who accompanied the bride, all stared at the couple.

Therefore, the groom and the bride in full costume behind him have no chance to speak, and are always in full view.

Zhao Tuo walked to the women's carriage and handed the rope to the bride according to etiquette. Before the bride could speak, the nurse thanked her according to the etiquette, and then helped the bride to board the carriage from the rear, and put on a cover-up for the bride to protect herself from the wind and dust.

When Zhao Tuo saw the nurse get out of the car, he couldn't help but look back at the car. I saw that under the light of the torch around her, the bride sitting in the car was smiling like a flower, beautiful and moving.

Seeing Zhao Tuo looking back, she blinked playfully, and dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth. Suddenly, Zhao Tuo's mind came to mind the scene where he saw the princess sitting in the car at the Xianyang City Gate, and the scene of looking at each other with the curtain closed.

It's been seven years, and I finally got you in my car.

"Sit tight." Zhao Tuo spoke softly and drove away. However, the wheel only rolled on the ground three times, and Zhao Tuo got out of the car.

According to the rules of the wedding, in the third week of the royal wheel, he had to get off the women's car, and then go to ride his own paint car, and his own special coachman came to replace him.

……

"The peach is dying, scorching its bloom. The son is home, and it is appropriate for him to live in his room. ”

"The peach is dying, there is a fact. The son is home, and his family room is appropriate. ”

"The peach is dying, and its leaves are blooming. The son is home, and it is suitable for his family. "Ancient cheerful hymns of blessing are played in a huge mansion.

At this time, it is the spring of March, and the peach blossoms planted in the courtyard are in full bloom, and the scenery is pleasant. This is the good old days mentioned in "Tao Yao".

When Zhao Tuo exchanged tokens with the girl in the palace, what he said was also this beautiful wedding poem.

This is an extremely spacious and luxurious mansion given by the emperor himself, and it is also the home of the future princess and the eldest concubine.

At this time, the bridegroom had followed the bride to the mansion.

"The woman is the best, and the master is the woman to enter." Regardless of whether Zhao Tuo is a princess or not, according to the etiquette of this era, the groom bows to the bride first and guides all the way into the mansion.

The house was already full of guests, looking forward to it one by one. Like Black Buttocks, Lu Juan and others, their eyes widened even more, wanting to see what the emperor's princess looked like.

The surrounding guests all praised it, and most of them were made in heaven, and they were talented and beautiful.

Shiruma's expression was complicated, and he watched his former comrades enter the wedding hall today.

"Ah Tuo, very happy." At this time, the maid came to water the bride and groom and wash their hands, which is called

"Wo Lu". After both parties cleaned their hands, they were officially seated. The next step is to eat together. The two began to eat the food that was placed in front of them.

Millet and sauce, sauce, and ...... The two of them eat soft and glutinous millet first. This is the first time Zhao Tuo has seen the princess eating.

It looks elegant when eaten, but millet is sticky. After Zhao Tuo saw that the princess ate millet, there was still a grain of millet left on her lips.

He suddenly remembered the scene when he met in the palace before, and the princess looked at him and frowned.

"Could it be that I still have millet sticking to my face?" Those were the words he teased at the time, but he didn't expect that the face of the pretty woman now was really sticky with yellow millet on her face.

Zhao Tuo's smiling expression aroused the girl's vigilance. She seemed to realize something, and quickly stretched out her tongue to lick off the millet stuck to her lips, and her face was already extremely blushing.

Fortunately, there are candles around, but it is not very conspicuous. However, such a shy appearance made Zhao Tuo drunk.

Until the girl glared at him fiercely, and the pretended fierce look, as if she was saying to wait and clean you up.

Zhao Tuo smiled slightly and quickly looked away. The two of them continued to carry out the next step of etiquette, after eating millet rice, they would sip the soup juice in their mouths, and then dip their fingers into the sauce to eat, which was the gift of a meal.

After three consecutive meals, the meal ceremony is completed, and then rinse your mouth with wine to enter a new link. Together, together.

The gourd is split in two and filled with wine. The gourd is bitter, and the wine it contains is also bitter. Zhao Tuo and the princess were half of each other, but they couldn't drink what was in front of them, but after they picked it up, they exchanged the wine in each other's hands, and then drank it in one gulp, which was to share the joys and sorrows.

After the wine ceremony, it is time for the final part. The guests had already left, and no one could stay when Princess Zhao Tuoshang was still there.

Zhao Tuo took off his dress in the house and handed it to the princess's dowry woman. Yingyin Yan walked into the inner room, and according to etiquette, took off her dress and handed it to the maid.

The nurse, who had been waiting, came over and handed the scarf to the princess, who was blushing with shame.

"The princess is worry-free, according to the method I taught you, you should be worry-free." The nurse said with emotion. At this moment, even if Yingyin Yan has always been bold, she lowered her head in shame and said softly

"Hmm". In her mind, she remembered all the knowledge taught by her nurse in the palace, and she had already blushed in her ears.

At this time, the woman who accompanied the marriage had already made the bed in the room.

"Gentleman, please come in." The nurse called. Zhao Tuo, who was waiting outside in a hurry, immediately stepped into the inner room.

I saw the princess sitting on the seat with her head bowed, her face blushing. A group of bridesmaids stood on either side, while the princess's nurse stood aside.

In front of everyone's eyes, Zhao Tuo only felt that his scalp was numb.

"Please untie the gentleman." The nurse said without emotion. The corners of Zhao Tuo's mouth twitched slightly, recalling the details of the wedding.

The master enters, and the kiss takes off the woman's tassel. He walked up to the princess under the gaze of many women. The beauty bows her head, and the fragrance is fragrant.

Zhao Tuo stretched out his hand and untied the princess's tassel with his own hands. In this way, the wedding is officially completed.

"We're leaving." The nurse and the other women bowed and withdrew, and the door was opened for them. ……

"Gone?" Ying Yinyan raised her head, glanced at Zhao Tuo in front of her, looked at the door of the house that was covered a little errely, and the two small hands on her knees clenched into fists.

"I'm not leaving, I'm eating out." Zhao Tuo spoke, and Yingyin's words made Yingyin giggle. She also remembered the process of the wedding.

When the bride-wrying woman goes out, according to the etiquette, she will go and eat the food that the bridegroom has not eaten just now, and she will eat all those things.

The maids in the palace had to eat all the food that the bride had not eaten. But after they have eaten and rinsed their mouths, they will not leave.

The bride and the bride will come to the door and wait outside the door, waiting for the call of the bride and groom in the house.

At this moment, in the inner room, the candle flame is flickering. The two faced each other, and the sound of breathing was clearly audible. Zhao Tuo's eyes were like torches, staring directly at the bride in front of him.

The dress has been taken off, the tassel has been untied, and only the close-fitting plain dress is still there, which makes her curvaceous and graceful.

"How long do you think they're going to eat?" After Ying Yinyan finished laughing, she felt her heart pounding again, busy looking for topics, and her eyes wandered.

"Hurry up and eat, it won't be a moment." Zhao Tuo said in his mouth, sat down on the table, close to the bride's side.

"What about eating slowly?" Ying Yinyan's voice trembled. The man's breath was already clearly audible, making her body softer and softer.

"Eat slowly, maybe you can eat overnight, it depends on how you eat it." Zhao Tuo seemed to be smiling, and his face was getting closer and closer.

His hand had quietly rested on the girl's waist. The sound of breathing in the room grew more and more rapid. Ying Yin Yan was touched by that hand, but she suddenly remembered something, and she was not shy, and instantly raised her eyebrows, glared at Zhao Tuo in front of her and said: "When you followed the Wei State, was there anything in that Boyi...... Woo woo...... "Before he finished speaking, Zhao Tuo had already pounced and blocked the delicate red lips.

"No, I swear!" Plain clothes flutter, beds shake. …… The bride outside the door stood outside all night.
