Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 378 The Big Wedding
The prince is the successor to the throne. Not surprisingly, he will be the next emperor.

According to the records of Zhou Rituals, from the emperor to the common people, marriages all follow the Six Rites.

The six rites are: Na Cai, Asking Names, Na Ji, Na Zheng, Asking for a Date, and Greeting.

According to the Daqin etiquette system, the emperor accepts the ceremonies such as offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, Linxuan ordering, Nacai, asking names, Naji, Nazheng, telling the date, telling the temple, registering the empress, ordering the envoy to welcome, and cooperating with the prison.

It is the same for the prince to marry a wife.

The scene of folk worshiping the high hall will not appear during the prince's wedding.

The young couple will not be able to meet the emperor until the prince and concubine get married.

Regarding this, Jiang Changning was quite dissatisfied, "My son is married, and I, a mother, can't attend. What is this called?"

"If you want to go, then go, just change the rules." Emperor Xuanzhi said domineeringly.

Jiang Changning cast a sidelong glance at him, "The censor's papers will be full of dragon cases."

"Just ignore it."

Jiang Changning smiled, "You are not joking."

"You have no jokes, and neither have husbands." Emperor Xuanzhi pinched her nose lightly.

The empress asked the prince to accept the ceremony of worshiping the high hall by the prince and his wife on the day of their wedding. Emperor Xuanzhi ordered the wedding hall to be set up in Chonghua Palace.

The prince and princess will give a big ceremony in the palace and enter the bridal chamber.

Hearing this, the Queen Mother felt that something was wrong, "This is not in compliance with the rules."

"Rules are made by people, so it doesn't matter if you change them." Emperor Xuanzhi smiled slightly, "Queen Mother, don't you want to watch your grandson get married with your own eyes?"

The queen mother hesitated, of course she wanted to.

Seeing this, Emperor Xuanzhi continued to encourage, "Can't the Tian family enjoy the family happiness of an ordinary family?"

"As the saying goes, there is nothing more than human affection outside the law, not to mention this kind of rules, it doesn't matter if you don't abide by them." Jiang Changning echoed.

After the couple sang together, the queen mother agreed to hold a wedding banquet for the prince in the palace, and she and the queen watched the ceremony together.

The ministers opposed Emperor Xuanzhi's move, but Emperor Xuanzhi insisted on doing so, and the ministers had no choice but to back down a step.

The emperor and empress can watch the ceremony, and the prince can welcome the princess and concubine into the palace, but they cannot go through the main gate of the Great Qin Dynasty.

After all, although the prince is the successor, he has not ascended the throne after all.

Emperor Xuanzhi thought over and over again, and agreed to their request, and the monarch and his subjects could be regarded as reaching a consensus.

And Emperor Xuanzhi's move also stopped those who wanted to support the second prince, third prince and crown prince to compete for the throne, so as to seek meritorious service from the dragon.

From this incident, it can be seen that the prince not only has a stable position, but also is deeply favored by the empress.

Unless something happened to the crown prince, the second and third princes would have no chance to aspire to that position.

On the tenth day of September, the Chonghua Palace is decorated with lanterns and streamers.

In the main hall, the Empress Dowager is on the left, wearing a red and black phoenix robe with gold embroidery.

Emperor Xuanzhi and Jiang Changning sit side by side on the right side, one wearing a sky-high crown and a crimson gauze robe, the other wearing a cloak and a phoenix crown.

The prince has already bathed and changed his clothes, put on the guard of honor, went out of the palace to Meng's house, and married the bride himself, instead of letting the ceremony officer do it for him.

This emphasis represents the attitude of the empress, and they are satisfied with this daughter-in-law.

Meng Rui had already dressed up and was sitting on the east bed, waiting for her groom.

No one dared to block the prince's door, and the prince entered Meng's house smoothly.

When they arrived at the inner gate, Meng Rui's eldest brother bowed to each other and said, "Please promote the crown prince."

The crown prince returned the courtesy, humbly, "I dare to resign."

Elder Brother Meng said again: "I invite the crown prince to be promoted."

The prince said: "I dare to resign."

Brother Meng said again: "The crown prince is finally invited to be promoted."

The prince said: "I dare to resign."

Brother Meng saluted again, and the prince returned the salute.

Under the leadership of elder brother Meng, the prince entered the room and laid a ceremony with the geese according to the etiquette.

Wait for the prince to take Meng Rui out and enter the wedding hall.

The young couple stood opposite each other in front of Meng's father and Meng's mother, and they wanted to bow to them.

Father Meng didn't dare to accept it, so he hurriedly supported the prince, "It's not enough to be polite if you don't teach."

But after all, they are the biological parents of the Crown Princess, so they can still tell the Crown Princess, Father Meng said: "Respect them, and never violate orders."

Meng's mother also warned, "Encourage and respect him, and there will be nothing wrong with it."

The crown princess replied, "My son respectfully listens to his parents."

After leaving the Meng family, the crown prince got on his horse, and the crown princess sat in a chariot drawn by red horses and decorated with purple feathers.

Amidst the sound of joy, the welcoming team arrived outside the gate of the palace. The prince dismounted from the horse, and the princess got off the carriage.

Arriving outside the Chonghua Palace, the young couple got out of the car.

The prince was in front, and the princess was half a step behind.

"The empress dowager, your majesty, the empress dowager, the prince and the concubine are coming in." The ceremony official reported.

The three of them, who had been waiting for a long time, lifted their spirits and looked towards the entrance of the hall.

A young couple in auspicious clothes walked in. Jiang Changning looked at his handsome son and praised with a smile, "My son is so handsome."

Under the guidance of the ceremonial officer, the young couple paid homage to the queen mother, the emperor, and the empress. Then, the crown princess first bowed to the prince, and the prince returned the salute.

"Licheng, send it to the bridal chamber." The ceremony official said loudly.

The young couple were sent to the well-arranged wedding hall, where they continued to perform the same prison ceremony.

All the officials and ladies watching the ceremony said in unison: "The crown prince has been hired, and he honors Jingfu. If you don't celebrate, I would like to wish you a long life."

Emperor Xuanzhi said with a smile: "The wedding banquet is ready, and you will enjoy it with me."

"The ministers are waiting for the banquet." All the officials and ladies said.

Although Emperor Xuanzhi imitated the folks and held a wedding banquet for the prince's wedding, the prince was not an ordinary groom after all, and he would not come out to toast.

After the banquet, Emperor Xuanzhi and Jiang Changning sent the Queen Mother back to Furen Palace, and then returned to Qiyuan Palace hand in hand.

After bathing and changing clothes, as soon as the couple went to bed, Emperor Xuanzhi put him in his arms, and began to settle accounts and ask for favors, "My son Jun or I Jun?"

Jiang Changning smiled, "Of course my man is the most handsome."

"Is the empress satisfied with today's wedding banquet?"

"Satisfied, very satisfied."

"Then empress, shouldn't I thank you?" Emperor Xuanzhi's hands were dishonest.

Jiang Changning pressed his hand, "Let me thank Your Majesty today."

"I'm looking forward to it." Emperor Xuanzhi smiled.

"The concubine will not disappoint His Majesty." Jiang Changning smiled winkingly, stretched out his hand from his shoulder, stroked it, and slowly slid it to his waist.

Husband and wife for many years, although Jiang Changning is passionate about this matter, he seldom takes the initiative.

What she did today made Emperor Xuanzhi feel quite new, he lay there and let her do whatever he wanted.

Beauty is already seductive, not to mention that Jiang Changning's face is full of spring at this time, full of charm, every frown and smile is full of charm.

Under Jiang Changning's provocation, the fire in Emperor Xuanzhi's body had ignited ragingly, unstoppable and out of control.

He called in a hoarse voice: "Ningning, Ningning." He wanted her to give him a good time.

"The night is so long, don't worry, Your Majesty." Jiang Changning was having fun, and continued to give him sweet torture.

This night, since Emperor Xuanzhi's life was hot and sweet, it was even more satisfying than the wedding candles in his bridal chamber.
