Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 648 The Big Wedding

In the spring of the 14th year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, on the eighth day of the third month, it is advisable to adopt, make alliances, sacrifice, and marry.

At the beginning of Maoshi, the starry sky was lonely, and the sky was approaching dawn. A few rumbling drums sounded like thunder rolling in the sky, from the imperial road in front of the Taiji Palace, and the entire sleeping Chang'an City woke up.

Countless torches were lit in the imperial city, reflecting the towering and majestic Taiji Palace in a magnificent and radiant light. Teams of Yubayashi guards with red tassels and black armor, holding shining horizontal knives and spears, lined up in front of the Taiji Palace.

The military looks mighty and the morale is at its peak!
His Majesty Li Er was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, standing outside the gate of Tai Chi Hall with his hands behind his back.

After a while, Princess Gaoyang, dressed in a splendid attire, arrived in front of the Taiji Hall in a royal chariot. The imperial chariot landed, and she slowly walked up the white marble steps of the Taiji Hall under the service of the maids.

Today's Princess Gaoyang is wearing a bright red embroidered palace dress, with a skirt that stretches to the floor, and gold silk encircling colorful jades all over her body.Her dark hair was meticulously tied into a high bun, and her head was full of pearls, emerald green phoenix hairpins and jade hairpins.In the past, the clear and beautiful cheeks were painted with heavy makeup, the skin was snow-white, and the breasts were like vermilion.

Supported by the maids on both sides, Princess Gaoyang's petite and slender figure was as tall and straight as a lotus, soaked with dignity and luxury.

His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and smiled, looked at his daughter Yingying bowed before him, and sighed slightly: "The emperor has found a good son-in-law. He is a man of talent and beauty, so he should respect and love each other and raise his eyebrows. After the wedding, don't rely on your highness." I want to be a husband and a teacher, and I have to be filial to my elders. My daughter of the royal family, even if she is rich and noble, she must be educated, reasonable, gentle and gracious, and set an example for all women in the world!"

Princess Gaoyang prostrated herself, her voice choked with sobs: "My child will obey the emperor's will. But from now on, I will not be able to sit in the morning and serve the emperor, and please take care of the dragon's body..."

His Majesty Li Er smiled all over his face, pulled Princess Gaoyang up, held his daughter's hand, and said with a smile: "Why are you so sad? If you say that you will become Fang's family from now on, but Shu'er will always be my daughter, both Princess Datang, Shu'er is allowed to come and go in this Taiji Palace anytime and anywhere, not to mention there are still young slaves, Sizi, and that little girl from Xincheng in the palace, you, as a big sister, have to come back and take them with you every day."

As he spoke, he sighed again, and said with emotion: "It's just a pity that your mother can't see you growing up and getting married today..."

Princess Gaoyang's mother was just an ordinary court lady who was lucky enough to become pregnant by His Majesty Li Er, but died of bleeding after giving birth to Lin'er. In the future, she will have an identity that can be recorded in history...

Princess Gaoyang burst into tears, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and the teardrops slid down her smooth and fair face like broken pearls. She bent down again and said softly, "What regrets do you have, my child? It is necessary to cherish the blessings. Although the child does not have a mother, the child has the greatest and most beloved father in the world, and the aunts of Concubine Yang who treat the child as their own. They have a respected brother, a loving sister, and a smart brother. There is also a lovely sister... Hai'er is already the happiest woman in the world, even the mother in heaven will be pleased when she sees it..."

Daughter married, the most sad.

With one hand, he gave away his heart and soul to another family for nothing. From then on, he regarded other men as his gods, and he was filial to other people's parents...

Even His Majesty Li Er, whose heart is as hard as iron, can't help but feel sad.

Two small figures came running from a distance, and from a long distance, Princess Jinyang in front shouted in a shrill voice: "Sister Seventeen, you want to make a sedan chair with you!"

Princess Gao Yang supported her forehead and said, "Sister, stop making trouble."

Can today's sedan chair be used casually?That's only the bride can sit...

Sizi's short legs were pounding fast, and he ran straight up the steps, first gave a little blessing to His Majesty Li Er, and then insisted with bright big eyes: "But sister Seventeen, didn't you promise that Sizi would sit in the sedan chair together? "

Princess Gao Yang didn't expect that this clever ghost would pester her endlessly, so she said: "But today is my sister's wedding day, Sizi wants to sit in a sedan chair, and sister will take Sizi to sit as long as I want, okay? "

There are very few sedan chairs in this era, and even important officials in the court seldom travel in sedan chairs, unless the emperor grants permission, because sedan chairs are the privilege of the royal family, unlike in the future, any local tyrant with some money can get a sedan chair to sit on. sit.Even for the royal family, sitting in a sedan chair must be done on specific occasions or ceremonies.

The chubby little lady Li Zhi just caught up, and said helplessly to His Majesty Li Er: "I didn't complete my father's confession, and my son ran away in a blink of an eye. I can't stand it..."

Sizi has been pestering Princess Gaoyang lately, talking nonsense about taking a sedan chair on the wedding day... Can the bride's sedan chair be taken anywhere?So the father ordered him to take good care of his son today and not let her mess around.His father's order was not fulfilled, Li Zhi was a little panicked, bowed his head and remained silent.

His Majesty Li Er snorted and glanced at the youngest son-in-law.

This kid is not as pure and harmless as he looks on the surface, and he is very careful. Whether he can't see it, or just let Princess Jinyang go on purpose, this must be debatable...

But this is clearly not the time for accountability.

What if it is pursued?

His Majesty Li Er had no choice but to persuade Princess Jinyang to order a sedan chair for her to sit in every day until she had enough.

Sizi quit, stepped forward and pulled Princess Gaoyang's sleeve, raised her small face and begged pitifully: "Miss Seventeen, let Sizi sit down too? Big deal, Sizi and Seventeenth Sis will marry together. Give it to my brother-in-law..."

As soon as he said a word, everyone in the audience was shocked.

But in the end it was a child's speech, all the maids in the palace and the nuns in the palace all pursed their lips and held back their laughter.This is really absurd. Throughout the ages, where is there any precedent for two princesses serving one husband?

Princess Gao Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she had no choice but to hold the pouting and unhappy Sizi in her arms, and softly persuaded her.

The corner of Li Zhi's mouth twitched, his expression unpredictable.

His Majesty Li Er turned dark...

This little girl, can you say this casually?

Just as he was about to teach a few words, the Chengtian Gate, Jiade Gate, and Taiji Gate in the distance opened in sequence from far to near, and a crowd of princes, princesses, and relatives of the royal family rushed into the Taiji Palace in a bustling manner, and the joyful atmosphere suddenly became more intense.

His Majesty Li Er had no choice but to suppress the words on his lips.

Next, a grand royal ceremony will be held, and then the son-in-law will come to Taiji Palace to welcome the bride...

*****
At the same time, in the house.

The originally simple and elegant Fangfu is now rich and splendid, and everywhere is full of joy and joy.

Amidst the laughter and noise, Fang Jun was surrounded by many relatives and friends, and the groom dressed in a bright red splendid dress became more and more handsome and heroic, with an overpowering aura.

Liu Rengui was wearing a set of red brocade robes, squatting halfway in front of the horse with a smile on his face, serving as a horse stool for the bridegroom officer, and waiting for Fang Jun to mount his horse.

This was brought up by Liu Rengui himself. He wanted to express his gratitude to Fang Jun, and of course it also had the purpose of further showing the relationship to outsiders.Even a blind man can see Fang Jun's future. As long as he doesn't kill himself, a prime minister will definitely not be able to escape after a few years. If he shows himself to outsiders as a member of Fang Jun's line, no matter where he is in the future Where is the official, who dare not give three points of face?
You must know that Fang Jun is famous for his stick, and it is difficult for his subordinates, so he must have the ability to withstand blows...

Fang Jun didn't want Liu Rengui to do this at first, he is a future famous general and national hero, what's the matter with being a horse stool for himself?It kind of damaged Liu Rengui's reputation.But Liu Rengui couldn't stand his insistence, so he had to allow him to mess around.

However, Liu Rengui's words are reasonable: "If this subordinate does not accomplish anything in the future, today's lead horse can make his subordinate use Erlang's name to show off, who would dare not give face to Fang Erlang's subordinate? If the subordinate really achieves success One day, not only will today's events not attract people's slander, but it will become a good story..."

Only Xi Junmai on the side was unhappy. This was originally his job, but he was snatched away by Liu Rengui, a shameless man. This old man's face was wrinkled and dimpled like an old farmer. He was really thick-skinned...

Amidst the booing of the crowd, Fang Jun patted Liu Rengui's shoulder to show his affection, then stepped on Liu Rengui's knee and got on his horse.

The firecrackers are going off!
