Chapter 10 The Phoenix Crown

The prince and grandson chased after him, and the green beads wept tears and scarves.

As soon as Houmen entered the deep sea, Xiao Lang was a passer-by from then on.

It is said that the most sad and helpless thing for a man is to watch his beloved woman get married, and the groom is not himself. Du Wu didn't know how to describe his current mood, uncomfortable, very uncomfortable, but there was a sense of relief. It all stems from the fact that he doesn't know how to define the relationship between himself and Wang Yan. What he can be sure of is that Wang Yan likes him, but he doesn't know whether he likes Wang Yan or not.

Last night, Pipa was arranged to live in another courtyard, because she was going to marry her today, although she was only a concubine, but Du Wu didn't plan to provoke other women. It's not that he is noble, it's just that what Wang Mang said after the banquet that day made him sober up again. In the last years of this unaccompanied Han Dynasty, he has nothing to rely on, and if there is a little trouble, he may face a catastrophe, and if he has a group of wives and concubines, it will be very troublesome to flee for his life, but he is a more affectionate person.

Last night, Du Wu was taught a lot of etiquette by the servants in the house, because he was just a concubine, so it was not grand, and he was not even invited. What's more, the most important thing the next day was Wang Yan's marriage, and the grandmothers in the palace had already lived in the Da Sima Mansion for several days, teaching Wang Yan various etiquette and precautions for the ceremony, etc., and there was no time to spare. Wang Mang has also been happy these days, and specially told Wang Yu to reward the servants with a string of money each, so that everyone's motivation is even more sufficient.

Before dawn in the morning, the Great Sima Mansion began to get busy. The servants, under the command of the housekeeper and the palace mothers, once again practiced the various processes to prevent mistakes. Just after the hour, I heard a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and then the door of the house was opened, and the servants began to perform their duties, and soon Taichang Temple Qing Kuang Xian appeared at the door with a letter in his hand, Wang Mang was dressed in official clothes, and led all the family members who had official status in the house to kneel at the door to greet him. Wang Yan wore a crown robe and knelt at the head of the people.

Kuang Xian cleared his throat: "In April of the first four years of Wei Yuan, Ding Wei, the emperor of the Han Dynasty made Kuang Xian, the envoy of the festival too Changqing, and ordered the queen of the Duke of An Han to be the queen. The first step of the poem, the foundation of Wang Hua, is actually supplemented by the inside. It is the late emperor's concubine, and the emperor is light; Tai Ren Yan Ji, Zhou Yun Kechang, Queen Qi only said to help the Emperor, in order to Su Chengzong Temple; Piety in the feeding, dedication to the woman's way; The handsome guide is in the six palaces, and the model is in the four seas. The emperor has no relatives, but virtue is dependent, but he can be careless. ”

After the recitation, the crowd chanted in unison. Wang Yan got up and took the edict after three bows, and at this time, the officials of Taichang Temple handed over all kinds of things used by the queen to the servants of the Great Sima Mansion for the first time. Wang Yan turned around, glanced at Du Wu, and walked towards the phoenix chariot prepared for her, and when she sat down, everyone kowtowed to Wang Yan under the leadership of Wang Mang, and the moment she knelt down, Du Wu clearly saw Wang Yan's eyes dimmed.

After a series of tedious ceremonies, Wang Yan was carried out of the Great Sima Mansion where she had lived for 18 years. Everyone was sent out of the long street, and Kuang Xian quietly came to Du Wu's side: "I learned that Mr. took a concubine today, Xian specially prepared a thin gift, and when you are young, you will be sent to the Da Sima Mansion by someone holding Xian's name, please don't refuse." After saying that, he gave a salute and quickly went to chase after the team.

Du Wu took a concubine today, and Kuang Xian specially told Du Wu to give Du Wu a three-day holiday. Du Wu understood that this was Kuang Xian's intention to show favor to himself, especially the Luzhou Yue that was copied from the poem, which made Kuang Xian introduce himself as a confidant, otherwise how could the top boss of this top boss arrange this matter beyond the level.

Du Wu didn't want to publicize this matter, so not many people knew that he had taken a concubine. After sending Wang Yan away, Du Wu returned to Da Sima Mansion. Originally, he thought that he had become an official, and with Yulu, he could more or less get rid of the Great Sima Mansion and go out to buy a small courtyard to live in by himself, and he could no longer live this cautious life. As soon as this idea was proposed, it was rejected by Wang Mang and Wang Yu, and even Wang Yu rarely rejected him on the grounds that Shisu was inconvenient, which made Du Wu very depressed. Helplessly, this matter had to be abandoned. After all, this official body was still given by Wang Mang, and once he annoys him, I'm afraid that this doctor will take it back if he wants to. There is no way, people are under the low eaves, and they have to bow their heads.

It is said that the daughter who marries out spills the water, which is really not wrong at all in the Han Dynasty, even if you marry the emperor. Du Wu didn't know what cumbersome rituals Wang Yan had gone through when he left the Great Sima Mansion, only that his own small courtyard had also been decorated. Just after the unitary time, some officials came to the door one after another with gifts, Mingli was to celebrate Wang Mang's marriage, but when he entered the door, he handed over two gift lists.

Weiyang Palace.

Wang Yan had been waiting on the dragon couch for a long time, and she had no strength to toss a whole set of tedious rituals during the day. After being hungry for a day, the whole person was a little dizzy, Yeyan watched from the side, and secretly took a little heart to fill his hunger. Wang Yan didn't have any appetite at all, she only knew that the current emperor was five years younger than him and was still a teenager. Yeyan saw Wang Yan's thoughts, and persuaded softly: "Miss, you are the queen now, Mr. can only keep it in his heart, I am afraid that I will never have the opportunity to meet again in this life." Let's face it. ”

Wang Yan nodded and didn't speak again. After another half an hour, the voice of the eunuch came from outside the door: "Queen Mother, the emperor is back, come out and pick up the driver." ”

Grand Sima Mansion.

Since the time of You, officials of all sizes in the imperial court began to come in an endless stream to congratulate Wang Mang. There were two tables in the main hall, one table was headed by Liu Tong, the Marquis of Xinxiang, and the other table was only a few people, Wang Mang, Kong Guang, Liu Xin and cousins Wang Shun and Zhen Feng, and the rest of Jiuqing and officials of all sizes were sitting outside. Princess Jingwu was inconvenient to attend this kind of banquet, and specially sent someone to send a congratulatory gift.

Galangal didn't quite understand why the master would not refuse the toasters tonight. Wang Shu was a little worried and told Galangal to help block the wine, but Galangal was born poor, and he didn't have much wine and food, so he fell down first before Du Wu got drunk. Holding a cup in his hand, he muttered to himself: "The master is in love, the master is in love." In a few moments he was carried down by the servants.

Pipa waited quietly in the cave room, tonight was the most important moment in her life, and it was also the moment she had been looking forward to for a long time. From the first time she met her husband and heard him tell the story of the pipa and the parrot, she decided to take care of him for the rest of her life. Just as she was looking forward to a better life in the future, her hand touched the handkerchief again. It was the eldest lady who asked her to bring it to Du Wu, she knew that she was not worthy of Mr., especially now that Mr. was already an official of the imperial court, so she readily agreed, but she still felt a little sorry for Miss in her heart, the two of them were a pair of beautiful people. Thinking like this, Pipa fell asleep.
