Chapter 498
Wang Ya knelt and sat next to Wang Ben, sitting upright.

Gone are the girly hairstyles of the past, replaced by updos and hairpins.

Coupled with her slightly applied makeup on her cheeks, she looks quite charming.

Zhao Kun even had a slight illusion, almost forgetting that the bride he married was less than twenty.

But in this situation, he still restrained his gaze, and couldn't observe Wang Ya's appearance too much, he could only observe secretly.

In fact, not only Zhao Kun was looking at Wang Ya, Wang Ya and other people in the hall were also looking at Zhao Kun.

In particular, Wang Ya sensed Zhao Kun's fiery gaze, and her heart was filled with joy. She almost couldn't control herself and stood up, wanting to make Zhao Kun look carefully.

Fortunately, Ying Shi who was next to her noticed her abnormality, and stopped her with a light cough, so that she did not lose her mind.

She also knew that before welcoming her, the elders repeatedly told her to follow the rules, and she must not move around without permission.

So Wang Ya suppressed the joy in her heart, straightened her back, and sat down quickly.

Fortunately, all the relatives and friends nearby were watching Zhao Kun, and they didn't notice Wang Ya's act of breaking the etiquette.

At first, Zhao Kun thought he was dazzled, because according to the wedding process he had seen in his previous life, when the bride first got married, there were mixed joys and sorrows, and some even cried all the way.

It's not like Wang Ya, showing an overjoyed look at all.

What's more, before Zhao Kun went to salute, Wang Ya actually wanted to stand up, which was very strange.

"What did she mean just now?"

Zhao Kun wanted to know why Wang Ya stood up, but with so many people present, he couldn't talk to Wang Ya casually, so he walked up to Wang Ben and Ying Shi and stopped.

General Zhong Lang, who was the matchmaker, had already stood still at this moment, first bowed to Wang Ben, and then looked at Zhao Kun.

Before leaving, Fan Xiliang had told Zhao Kun all the rules, so when General Zhong Lang looked at him, he immediately knelt down solemnly and bowed to Wang Ben and Ying Shi.

The etiquette and laws of the Qin Dynasty were not so strict. Although Zhao Kun was the emperor in name, Wang Ben and the Ying family were also his wife's parents. It was also in line with long-term love to bow down and worship.

Originally, he planned to pray a few more times, but as soon as he finished, Wang Ben helped him up with a smile: "Enough is enough, get up!"

"Get up!" Ying Shi also smiled and raised his hand to signal.

"Thank you father-in-law, thank you mother-in-law."

Zhao Kun got up from the ground and bowed again to Wang Ben and Ying Shi.

Seeing the sincerity of the groom, the relatives and friends of the Wang family all met by chance and whispered.

"The crown prince has a noble status, but he still kneels and worships. He really dotes on Wang Ya too much!"

"Yes, I am so envious of Yamei, the prince is doing well."

"This is the real son-in-law who rides the dragon quickly!"
As if a certain program had been set, Wang Ben waited for the relatives and friends around him to discuss before looking at Wang Ya.

As the father who was about to send his daughter away, Wang Ben was obviously reluctant, but he was only reluctant for a moment, and then covered it up with a smile.

Without speaking, he stood up first, then took Wang Ya's hand, and brought her to Zhao Kun.

Knowing the rules, Wang Ya silently followed behind Wang Ben and came to Zhao Kun's side.

At this moment, Zhong Lang will announce loudly: "The newcomers thank their parents!"

Hearing this, Zhao Kun and Wang Ya bowed down to Wang Ben and Ying Shi together.

This time, Wang Ben did not stop them from saluting. The kindness of nurturing for many years is worthy of today's kneeling.

So after Zhao Kun and Wang Ya finished the ceremony of kneeling and worshiping, Wang Ben helped them up with both hands, and then said with emotion: "From now on, we are a family. When we meet again, we don't need to perform such a grand ceremony."

As soon as these words came out, neither Zhao Kun nor Wang Ya opened their mouths, waiting quietly for Zhong Lang to announce loudly: "Licheng!"

"Let's go."

As soon as Zhong Lang finished his announcement, Wang Ben led Zhao Kun and Wang Ya out of the hall.

Relatives and friends present also followed.

Seeing that her daughter was about to marry into a woman, Ying couldn't help crying with joy. Seeing Wang Ya getting married, the sentimental female elders immediately thought of her young self, and also picked up the silk scarf and secretly wiped away tears.

Those half-grown young people didn't feel anything, they just felt that it was lively, so they started booing, but it also needs to be lively when welcoming relatives, so the elders didn't make a sound to stop them.

Surrounded by the crowd, Wang Ben sent Zhao Kun and Wang Ya outside the Hou's mansion. After everyone stood still, he turned to look at Wang Ya and said, "After going to the palace, you must listen to your husband and don't act recklessly. ;
Treat your majesty and empress with filial piety, abide by your duty, be virtuous and virtuous. "

"Dad, don't worry, my daughter will remember."

Wang Ya obediently agreed.

Wang Ben nodded in satisfaction, and then said to Zhao Kun, "Although your majesty ordered this marriage, you must be aware of Yamei's liking for you. I hope you treat her well and bring her back to see you when you have time. Tomorrow's wedding ceremony, take good care of her and don't let her make mistakes!"

"Father-in-law don't worry, son-in-law will remember." Zhao Kun bowed again.

Wang Ben let go of Wang Ya's hand and said with a satisfied smile, "In that case, let's go earlier."

"it is good."

Zhao Kun responded respectfully, and then led Wang Ya to the ink cart.

Up to this moment, Wang Ya didn't show an expression of resignation, nor did she look shy or weeping for marriage. Before entering the ink car, she still waved at Wang Ben and Ying Shi, and said with a smile; "Father, Mom, I'm leaving first!"

Wang Ben: "."

Ying's: "."

The two looked at each other without speaking.

After a while, the relatives and friends behind burst into laughter.

Whether it is the elders who have already married or the young people, they have never seen such a wedding scene.

From their point of view, Wang Ya's current behavior does not look like she is getting married at all, but that she is walking away from relatives.

Maybe everyone knows Wang Ya's character, so there is no fuss.

As for Zhao Kun, he also thought it was normal. After all, Wang Ya chased him for most of the yard, asking him when he would marry her fierce girl.

Of course, Wang Ben and Ying, who married their daughter, saw their daughter bid farewell to them in a good mood, without any nostalgia for their natal family, and felt helpless: "Let's go, be careful on the road."

"Ok."

Wang Ya got into the carriage happily, and the relatives and friends laughed again.

The corner of Zhao Kun's mouth twitched slightly, thinking that this little girl's awareness of getting married is too low, and she doesn't even bother to do dramas.

However, the bride finally received it.

It's half the battle.

As Wang Li led the sending team back onto the horse, Wang Ya's dowry maid also boarded the ink cart, and the welcoming team was ready to return.

Zhong Lang cupped his hands towards Wang Ben, then got on his horse and said loudly, "Let's go!"

Watched by her natal family, the welcoming team began to leave Tongwuhou Mansion and walked towards the East Palace in the dark.

On the way back, with the addition of the sending-off team, it was naturally more lively than when we set off.

As the elder brother, Wang Li should have followed Mo Che with the send-off team.

But he couldn't bear the loneliness at all, especially when he saw Han Xin who came back from Yunzhong County.

It's been a long time since Wang Li hadn't seen them, so after leaving Tongwuhou's mansion, he ran to the wedding party.

In this way, there is no difference between the welcoming team and the sending team.

Only General Zhonglang, who was a matchmaker, was left with a "crowd of dandies" to escort the princess in the ink chariot towards the East Palace in the dark.

In the middle of the night, the welcoming team arrived outside the imperial city.

Because the East Palace is in the imperial city, the welcoming and sending off teams will pass through many palaces.

At this time, the atmosphere in the palace was also very lively, with brightly lit lights and laughter. Many concubines, princes and princesses gathered outside their palace gates to watch the procession of welcoming and sending them off.

Although the wedding will be held tomorrow, most of them are not qualified to participate, so they can only join in the fun here and feel the grandeur of the prince's welcoming team, and dare not expect to see the demeanor of the prince's concubine.

So when they faced the ink car, they all talked to each other, guessing whether the princess in the ink car was beautiful or dignified.

But no one expected that the curtain of the ink car was lifted suddenly. As the bride, Wang Ya poked her head out, looked around, and said in surprise, "So the night view of the palace is so beautiful!"

She only came to the palace during the day, and never stayed in the palace at night.

So seeing the night view of the palace, I couldn't help but be full of joy.

But her actions startled everyone in the palace.

Although Wang Ya's appearance made those concubines feel ashamed, Wang Ya's boldness left them stunned.

Fortunately, at this time, Wang Ya had already been dragged back by the dowry maid in the ink carriage, and the curtain of the ink carriage was closed again.

So when Zhao Kun turned his head when he heard the movement, he didn't see half of Wang Ya's body outside the ink cart, otherwise, even he would be shocked.

In this way, the welcoming team and sending off team passed the blasted Huangcheng Avenue and arrived outside the East Palace.

Fan Xiliang had already been waiting outside the palace. Apart from him, there were all the maids and attendants in the East Palace, including Zhou Kui and the Wu family brothers.

Because there was going to be a wedding ceremony tomorrow, everything was simplified. Wang Ya's personal maid sent Wang Ya to the room specially reserved for brides.

Zhao Kun greeted everyone to have dinner, then washed and went to bed. Before dawn the next day, he was about to attend a grand wedding ceremony.

The wedding ceremony was unprecedentedly grand, not only civil and military officials, but even envoys from various countries were present.

Ying Zheng, dressed in a black dragon robe, appeared majestic and domineering outside Xianyang Palace, promulgating a decree: The prince's wedding will be celebrated by the whole world.

Then came the wedding ceremony.

Zhao Kun took Wang Ya's hand and, under the witness of the officials, walked towards Ying Zheng step by step.

In front of them, there are nine generals holding red umbrellas, and there are palace servants carrying red cloth trays.

There are more gongs and drums around the sky, and the sound of bells and drums is solemn and grand.

Standing still about three feet away from Yingzheng, Zhao Kun bowed slightly: "Greetings, Father!"

"Greetings, Royal Father!" Wang Ya followed suit.

Ying Zheng smiled and nodded, then raised his hand to signal: "Prince, go and accept the congratulations from the ministers!"

"Yes, Father."

Zhao Kun nodded respectfully, and then brought Wang Ya to the officials.

All the ministers turned around one after another, facing the two newcomers, bowed their hands and saluted: "Congratulations, Prince!"

Although the courtiers were all saluting, except for those old officials, the young officials quietly raised their heads and peeked at the princess.

Until this time, Wang Ya showed a look of embarrassment, and lowered her head a little ashamed to see others.

On the other hand, Zhao Kun was much more at ease.

After all, the people here are all his ministers, and they are not as nervous as they were in Tongwuhou Mansion.

So after accepting the courtiers' congratulations, Zhao Kun generously brought Wang Ya to Yingzheng and saluted Yingzheng.

"Let's all be flattened, next we will enter the ancestral temple, and under the witness of the ancestors, we will complete the wedding ceremony!"

Ying Zheng said with a warm smile.

In fact, according to the normal process, newcomers do not need to take this step, but Zhao Kun is the prince of Daqin, the future emperor.

It is also reasonable to marry and worship ancestors.

If it was another prince, he would not have this qualification at all.

In this way, Zhao Kun and Wang Ya, surrounded by officials, came to the ancestral hall of the Taimiao.

The supplies for the sacrifice have been prepared here.

As a matchmaker, Zhong Lang is no longer in charge of the wedding, but the chief officer of Qin Tianjian is in charge of presiding over the worship. The official said loudly: "The newcomer worships heaven and earth."

Zhao Kun and Wang Ya turned around, bowed to the Nanfang Honor, and then stood up.

Seeing them get up, the chief officer of Qin Tianjian walked into the ancestral hall and announced loudly: "The newcomers worship the ancestors' heroic spirits."

Zhao Kun and Wang Ya walked into the ancestral hall and knelt down to worship the spirit tablets of their ancestors.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhao Kun and Wang Ya stood up again and bowed to Ying Zheng again.

"Licheng." Qin Tianjian announced loudly.

A smile appeared on Ying Zheng's face, and the atmosphere changed from serious to relaxed.

However, after the ceremony was completed, the matchmaker, Zhong Lang, still had to say to Zhao Kun and Wang Ya in a symbolic way: "The marriage of the two surnames will be concluded together, and I wish the couple a happy marriage forever and grow old together."

As soon as the words fell, there was another rumor from the ancestral hall that the bells and drums rang again, and the gongs and drums were loud.

After Zhao Kun and Wang Ya thanked the gift, they walked out of the ancestral hall amidst cheers.

Then came the wedding feast.

The process of the wedding banquet was carried out according to the rules of the palace, and Zhao Kun and Wang Ya followed the process to carry out the final procedures of the wedding.

Zhao Kun went to the wedding banquet to accompany the guests to the banquet, while Wang Ya returned to the East Palace wedding room, waiting for his return.

Before Yingzheng left, he glanced at Jiang Chao and Ying Yinman, and did not forget to give Zhao Kun a wink. Zhao Kun understood, and said to Jiang Chao: "Jiang Waer, let my seventh sister drink less later." Remember to send her back to the palace."

"."

Jiang Chao didn't react, and subconsciously glanced at Ying Yinman, but seeing her shy and lost her head, he couldn't help but be full of doubts.

"Didn't the Seventh Princess have maids and attendants?"

"Let me give it to you, and you will give it to me. After walking so far at night, what if I fall down! Alright, I'm going to accompany you for a drink, you can play by yourself!"

"Not son, I."

Jiang Chao wanted to say more, but Ying Yinman pulled him and ran back: "Jiang Wa'er, let's go, I'll take you to see the moon, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight!"

"Hey, slow down!"

Jiang Chao was staggered and almost fell, but he ran away with Ying Yinman.

Ma Liang, who was following Zhao Kun, looked at them sourly, with mixed feelings in his heart, and wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say.

Zhao Kun glanced at him and said, "Don't look, my Seventh Sister is not interested in you, and my father didn't say No. 1 so he chose his son-in-law, so give up on it!"

"If it was someone else, I would still fight for it, but Commander Jiang, I still give up." Ma Liang said leisurely.

"Hehe, you, I don't know where I heard the news, and I got stuck in it, let's go, drink more wine tonight, and use it to relieve my worries!" Fu Su also stepped forward to comfort him.

Ma Liang is not a hypocritical person either, since he knew the reason of the matter, he smiled freely and said: "From today on, the young master will have a family member, and he can no longer hang out with us, if he gets drunk tonight, he won't go home!"

"What brother Ma said is true!" Han Xin also smiled and echoed: "Everyone will not return tonight if they are not drunk!"

With the completion of the wedding ceremony, Zhao Kun officially married Wang Ya, which made him feel very complicated.

It's just that he can't show it in front of everyone, and he also has the idea of ​​drinking to drown his sorrows.

Han Xin's booing was undoubtedly what he wanted, so he smiled and waved at Han Xin and the others: "In that case, let's go."
