Li Shimin

Chapter 327 Welcome
Li Xuan didn't spend long time in Lijiazhuang.

Soon, five days passed quietly.

During this period, there were no major incidents in Chang'an City.

As for the death of so many Tubo envoys, it was only after a few words of impeachment from the censors at the court meeting that the matter was silent.

As for the management of those aristocratic families, they didn't dare to go to Cui's mansion to disturb them.

The entire city of Chang'an fell silent.

On this day, all the farmers in Li Family Manor stood by the roadside, with smiles on their faces, sending Li Xuan off respectfully.

The king is going to marry his wife!

"Please don't worry, my lord, we will take good care of everything in the village, and there will never be any problems!"

"That's right, the king can go and marry the princess at ease!"

The sixth uncle, Cheng Laosi and the others all grinned, revealing a few large yellow teeth that leaked air, and congratulated Li Xuan with their hands clasped.

"Everyone, don't worry, this king will definitely go and come back quickly!"

Li Xuan also grinned and shouted at the farmers.

Li Chang beside the car was startled and helpless.

Immediately, he hurriedly and secretly urged the convoy to set off quickly.

Li Xuan saw this and didn't say much.

After I marry my mother-in-law, I will come back immediately!
When returning to Chang'an City, Li Xuanneng could feel the excitement of Chang'an City.

It seems that the marriage of his wife and aunt, the king of Jin, is a great joy for the entire Chang'an city.

The Prince Jin Mansion has already begun to decorate with lanterns and festoons, and red lanterns and some red silks and satins have already begun to be hung on the various gates.

All the servants in Prince Jin's mansion were full of joy and busy.

Regarding this, Li Xuan did not take the initiative to ask.

I just rested for a day, and the next morning, I was going to go upstairs to the messenger in Anyifang, and then went to stay.

However, he was blocked in the mansion by several old servants and officials from the Ministry of Rites sent by the palace.

To get married, you have to learn a series of tedious etiquette.

Li Xuan, who resisted ineffectively, accepted his fate with peace of mind.

For three days in a row, I followed a group of servants and officials from the Ministry of Rituals and began to learn various etiquettes.

During this period, Li Xuan also received any visiting guests with peace of mind.

It was not until the fourth day that Li Xuan was able to rest for a day.

Immediately, preparations for the personal welcome began.

The next day, early in the morning.

Li Chang then opened the middle door of Jin Wang's mansion to welcome the guests.

From the time of day.

Then began to have guests, one after another came to the door to congratulate.

Among them, old man Li Yuan was the first to come, so frightened Li Chang hurriedly asked Li Xuan to entertain him personally.

Since the old man stayed in Lijiazhuang for longer and longer, he paid less and less attention to some etiquette.

Afterwards, there was Li Xuan's older sister, Princess Gaomi and her husband-in-law Duwei; Princess Xiangyang and her son-in-law Duwei Dou Dan...

These son-in-law captains are all people in charge of power in the court!
Afterwards, the generals of the Twelve Guards, a group of generals in the army, as well as the princes of the major states, county kings, and various aristocratic families were in charge.

There was a crowd of people inside and outside the gate of the mansion, and they gathered together to chat and discuss loudly, while their attendants and servants were carrying boxes of gift boxes and lined up at the door, waiting for the housekeeper Li Chang to call out the list loudly.

And the congratulatory gifts brought by these guests who are very strange to Li Xuan are also very expensive, not to mention silk and satin for the time being, such as ivory, rhinoceros horn, tiger penis, South Sea red coral, South Sea spices, Dadongzhu old...

Anyway, just listening to its name is worth a lot.

It can be said that there are a large number of guests. All the dignitaries who are qualified to come in Datang basically come with heavy and expensive gifts.

Seeing this, an idea suddenly popped up in Li Xuan's mind, if he raised his troops to rebel, would it be easier than Li Er back then?
However, this thought just passed by in a flash.

Well, if Jin Wang is wronged and wants to rebel, then he must have lost his mind!

Within a day, the guests of Prince Jin's Mansion were continuous.

Fortunately, Li Chang dispatched hundreds of households from Li's Village in advance to help, otherwise, they would not be able to handle it with only the servants of the palace.

The noise lasted until the afternoon, and as dusk approached, Li Xuancai, dressed up by Li Chang and others, put on the bright red gown crown, and under the protection of Xue Rengui, Cheng Chusi and others, he sat in a red satin-wrapped chariot, and then Then I went to the other courtyard of Cui's house to welcome Cui Mi, Princess of Jin.

The King of Jin welcomes his relatives, and the five hundred guards of the King of Jin put on shining bright armor, holding a horse lance, with a big red ribbon wrapped around the armor and the horse lance, clearing the way in front of them.

At the back of the team, there were hundreds of royal guards carrying dowry gifts, plus Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others, the whole team was mighty and mighty, stretching for tens of miles!
Along the way, Xue Rengui, Zheng Fu and other personal guards all tensed up.

Although they knew that Princess Jin's deeds were most likely rumors or coincidences, they were still a little scared.

In the other courtyard of the Cui family, Cui Mi, Princess of Jin, started in the early morning, led by Cui Xuanlan, the head of the Cui family, to worship the ancestors of the ancestral temple, and after performing a series of cumbersome etiquette, she waited until dusk, when the King of Jin came to kiss her. welcome.

Similarly, everyone in the Cui family was nervous.

Others don't know, but their own family members are still very aware of their young lady Cui Mi's previous achievements.

Fortunately, the king of Jin really had the luck of disaster relief and good fortune, and he lived in peace all the way.

All the way to the gate of the Cui family courtyard smoothly, looking at the closed gate of the Cui family courtyard, and the line of Cui family servants waiting on both sides of the road, Li Xuan was ready to follow the method taught by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, stepping on the long road. The red carpet, ready to call the door.

Unexpectedly, just got out of the car,

The ceremonial officer next to him just handed over the welcome letter according to the etiquette, the housekeeper of the Cui family quickly picked up the box containing the letter, and the gate of the Cui family's other courtyard was quickly opened.

Then, a group of men and women dressed in festive clothes came out from the inside, each holding wooden sticks wrapped in red silk and satin in their hands.

Then, the door quickly closed again.

Seeing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but tighten his body, thinking that a beating would be inevitable.

Unexpectedly, these people gently knocked the sticks in their hands on the ground.

Immediately, the door of Cui Mansion opened quickly again.

A kind of female family members who blocked the way quickly stepped out of the way with smiles on their faces.

Seeing this, Li Xuan was stunned.

Immediately, under the reminder of Cheng Chusi and others behind him, he walked quickly to the inner hall of the north courtyard of the Cui family.

Along the way, there were servants leading the way until they came to the front hall of the other courtyard.

Cui Xuanlan, the Patriarch of the Cui family, sat at the head seat, and looked at Li Xuan who entered with a smile on his face. The whole hall was full of joy, and all kinds of festive silk lanterns were hung.

Li Xuan stepped forward to salute according to the instructions from the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and then said a lot of awkward sentences, Cui Xuanlan said a few polite words, and also replied an ancient prose, roughly meaning that he wanted Li Xuan to treat his little daughter kindly.

Then, feel done.

Li Xuan bowed again, and then, surrounded by all the female family members of the Cui family, went to Cui Mi's boudoir in the backyard.

According to the process of welcoming the bride, outside the boudoir, Li Xuan will be made things difficult by the female family members of the woman's family.

Even if Li Xuannai is the Prince, he cannot be spared.

Unexpectedly, Li Xuan had just made preparations, and after Li Chongyi took out a bag of wedding money, those female relatives opened the door of the boudoir very sensibly, and then stood aside.

It seems that some can't wait.

Seeing this, Li Xuan was taken aback again, and couldn't help but thank his old man in his heart!
But I don't know, even if Cui Xuanlan doesn't confess to these female relatives, don't make it difficult for Li Xuan. After the violent incident in Dongshi, these Cui family female relatives dare not deliberately make things difficult for him!
In the bright red and beaming boudoir, Cui Mi was dressed in a bright red dress, sitting quietly on the side of the bed, her hijab trembling slightly, obviously her heart was not at peace.
