Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 386 When the wedding is in progress (1)

"Tong Kao of the Five Rites" records that since the later Qi Dynasty, regardless of the emperor and the common people, the wedding "one is Nacai, the other is Xiangming, the third is Najib, the fourth is Sacrifice, the fifth is asking for a date, and the sixth is welcoming in person." , These are the six stages of a big wedding, commonly known as the "six rituals".

After the emperor held the special sacrifice in Taimiao, Qin Tianjian chose March [-], the ninth year of Zhenguan, as the stage of dipping in the precepts and welcoming relatives for the big wedding.

Li Shimin wears the Tongtian Crown and the crimson gauze gown, and the imperial Taiji Hall is attended by all the officials.As the official of ceremonies, the eldest grandson Wuji introduced and guided the crown prince to Dan Bi, and made four obeisances.Enter the east gate of the hall and take a seat, facing east.Sijue enters with a cup, the crown prince kneels, picks up Gui, and receives a cup of sacrificial wine.

The food is served by the food, and the kneeling is the same.Xing, sit at the table, eat and drink, and guide you to kneel in front of the imperial seat.In order not to make a fool of himself during the big wedding, Li Chengqian studied for seven days under Li Xiaogong's gloating "retaliation".

After living two lifetimes, Li Chengqian is used to being wild. When has he ever been surrounded by others like this, either scolded or frankly whipped.However, there is no way, this time he can't scare Li Xiaogong, the old guy is holding the board given by the emperor, as long as there is a slight mistake in his movements, he can't escape his "beating".

Hit it if you say you want to, laugh at the wool, what the hell, this time the old guy can get a taste of his elders.Li Chengqian couldn't help thinking in his heart, the old man has enjoyed all kinds of glory and wealth in his life, and foreign things can't arouse his interest.

But beating Li Chengqian is different, especially the crown prince who has sat on the dragon chair. This is different from beating the emperor, so the darker Li Chengqian's face is, the more excited the old man will be. .
The most nervous person in the entire Tai Chi Hall was not Li Chengqian, the main character, nor the officials such as Changsun Wuji and Li Xiaogong who presided over the ceremony tremblingly, but the Empress Changsun.

Looking at the respectful and polite saluting below, the eldest grandson's eyes turned red, and he kept thinking about Li Chengqian's growth from a few feet long to the strong young man he is today.

From babbling in the Qin Palace to stumbling toddlers, from standing up like Luo Yi's barracks to entering the East Palace, from the Western Expedition to the Northern Expedition to supervising the country, this journey is not easy. The glory he enjoys today , are all made with your own hands.

That's right, on any occasion, the eldest grandson never shy away from her preference for the eldest son. Every time the wives of princes and relatives ask for something, they will first praise the prince fiercely. , the probability of success is much higher, and it has been tried and tested. .
After so many years of husband and wife, the emperor didn't know that the eldest grandson often felt guilty about this son.Although he disagrees with this statement, if you want to carry this heavy burden without shedding blood and sweat or making some contributions, wouldn't it be a flower to grow indoors?

So, after patting his eldest grandson's hand, Li Shimin came down from the imperial steps, and said in a deep voice, "Go to greet you, inherit my family affairs, and respect you from Xu Shuai. Gao Ming, today is the best day of your life." One, I hope you will live up to expectations and be a role model for the clan!"

"My subject, Li Chengqian, would like to obey the decree of the system." After finishing speaking, he bowed down and saluted. After four prostrations, and after Changsun Wuji shouted "Xing", the ceremony was truly over. .
After the dipping precepts are completed, it is a personal welcome. The day before, the crown prince was set up in the palace to be second to the concubine's gate, facing south, and the East Palace officials were second to the south, facing east and west. .

Li Chengqian went out in a uniform, and the guards and guides followed Ruyi. When they arrived at the gate of Shuntianmen Palace, they descended and ascended.

In addition to the necessary ceremonial guards, the emperor also specially decreed that the six leaders can send three thousand armored soldiers to accompany them. The reason for this is to show the prince's dazzling military achievements and make the scale of the wedding more grand, and secondly, it is for insurance. This son is a "little calamity", and Li Shimin is not surprised that anything unexpected happened to him.

When he walked to Zhuque Street, 360 court ladies and ten carts followed Prince Luan. The flower baskets and carts in their hands were not filled with petals, but red wedding bags. They are all filled with ten copper coins, which means perfection.

When the people on both sides of the street knelt down and shouted for the crown prince's thousand years, and Wan Fu Jin'an, they kept throwing to both sides. This way of throwing will continue back and forth until the welcoming team returns to the palace.

Not everyone in the imperial palace can go in to drink this wedding banquet, so Duke Kao's mansion prepared a banquet early in the morning to entertain his relatives and friends until the royal family's welcoming team arrived.

In this way, the team walked for nearly an hour and a half before arriving at the Duke of Kaoguo. Qin Qiong, who was dressed in purple, had been waiting here with Dugu Mou and others for a long time. It can be seen that he is really anxious.

After getting off the chariot, Li Chengqian took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Qin Qiong, then said with a smile: "Teacher has worked hard, wipe off your sweat!"

"It's okay, it's okay, Your Highness, please come in quickly, don't delay the time, the old minister is in a hurry." After returning with a smile, Li Chengqian came to the West Pavilion under Qin Qiong's guidance, which is the embroidery building of Dugu Miaoyin's residence. .

At this time, Dugu Miaoyin was dressed in Zhai Huachai and stood in the south of the pavilion, with eighteen Fu Mu standing on the left and right.After Dugu Rui took a few steps forward, he knelt down and said, "I-Dugu Rui dare to ask for help!"

Seeing this incomprehensible guy's behavior today, Li Chengqian couldn't help but smiled knowingly, and then replied: "The Crown Prince - Li Chengqian welcomes you personally."

Just after Qin Qiong's word "Xing" was pronounced, Li Jinghuan, who was holding the wild goose, knelt up and presented the wild goose. Retreat and stand in the west.

At the same time, it is the time for the mother to send her daughter, because Dugu Miaoyin lost her mother very early, so she had to ask Dugu Mou's mother to fill this role: "Precepts and precepts, work hard day and night, or disobedience Encouraged by encouragement, your father has taught you to carry on to Weiqin."

Seeing Dugu Miaoyin wearing a phoenix robe, Mrs. Dugu felt sour in her heart. She is what it means to make a fool of others.If it wasn't for that coincidence, what she gave away here today would be her own daughter instead of her cousin's niece.Hey, this really echoes the old saying, I don’t know why, but fate!
"Listen to your parents." After saying this, Dugu Miaoyin, holding a round fan in both hands, met Li Chengqian under the guidance of Fu Mu, and sat in the father who had been preparing to be in the mansion. After going out, he changed into a phoenix sedan chair . .
