Returning after three years of reincarnation in the world of martial arts

Chapter 221 Wedding
Chapter 221

Imperial Palace, Yansi Hall.

Inside and outside the hall, many civil and military officials, as well as the family members of some high-ranking officials, have gathered, and some concubines, princes, and princesses have also arrived in advance.

They are all waiting to witness the wedding of the Seventh Princess.

This Palace of Yansi is the place where the Dayan Dynasty held grand weddings for all the princes and princesses. It was named "Yansi" in the hope that the descendants of the Dayan royal family would last forever.

Since it is a place to hold a big wedding, there are naturally a lot of wine and food here today.

Behind the long desks, there are couples sitting in some, an official and a child in some, two officials sitting behind some desks, etc., and so on.

There were hundreds of people gathered at the scene, but despite the large number of people, the atmosphere was not noisy. Everyone obeyed the rules, and even when talking with people, they would speak in a low voice.

At this moment, a female official stepped forward to the top of the steps of the Yansi Hall and announced loudly: "The Seventh Princess and the consort's car are about to enter the arena, everyone is ready to greet!!"

Before the words fell, many people had already stood up.

After a while, two limousines, one black and one white, drove slowly to the square in front of Yansi Hall and stopped.

The door of the black car opened, and an officer of the Jingwei Army came down first. He had sharp eyes and recognized Liao Shengjie, the head of the four captains of the Jingwei Army.

Liao Shengjie walked quickly to the rear door and opened it.

Everyone stared at the car door curiously, wanting to see the son-in-law who was about to get out of the car for the first time.

Some people already know the identity of the son-in-law, but most people still don't know who the seventh princess's son-in-law is.

Soon, a foot wearing black leather shoes and a pair of black trousers got out of the car.

In full view, the son-in-law got out of the car.

To the disappointment and surprise of many people, the son-in-law actually wore a golden mask on his face.

"Who is this? You are married to the princess today, and you don't even show your true face?"

"Isn't it too ugly?"

"You look pretty good, why are you wearing a mask?"

"Who allowed him to wear a mask?"

"When he worships heaven and earth later, he should take off his mask, right?"

……

There were whispers among the crowd waiting to watch the ceremony, but no one dared to question it loudly.

Only some concubines, princes, and princesses who knew the identity of the son-in-law, saw the mask on Li Zhongwu's face, or smiled disdainfully, rolled their eyes, or curled their lips.

I feel that this guy is playing tricks, he is obviously just a commoner, and his greatest achievement is that he just won the first place in the "Wu Zhuang Scholar" competition.

Such an identity, dare to wear a mask when marrying the Seventh Princess?

In the eyes of these people, it is not uncommon for the first winner of the "Wu Zhuangyuan" competition to be produced every year. Moreover, "Wu Zhuangyuan" is an entertainment competition hosted by a TV station. not too high.

Some real masters, as well as those with supernatural powers, will basically not appear on such programs.

Therefore, a military champion like Li Zhongwu may be very dazzling in the eyes of ordinary people outside, but it is also the same in the eyes of some concubines, princes, and princesses.

Only a few concubines, princes, and princesses who have watched the live broadcast of this year's "Wu Zhuangyuan" know that this year's "Wu Zhuangyuan" is much more intense and cruel than previous years, and they really played several real masters, such as Yuyijian Qian Ye, For example, Thunder Sword Cao Kun, Sword Demon Wei Jianxi, Zhu Qihen sent by the prince to participate in "Wu Zhuang Scholar", and so on.

Because of this, it is clear what kind of record Li Zhongwu, the champion of martial arts, won this year's champion of martial arts.

In the final championship challenge, there was no one who dared to challenge him.

In the much-anticipated live broadcast of the game, several other masters actually went to compete for the second and No.3.

This is simply a unique scene in the previous competitions of "Wu Zhuangyuan".

……

Li Zhongwu, who just got out of the car, could hear the whispers of those guests, but he didn't care, the expression on the mask was still as calm as water.

Because I have experienced many things, I have become indifferent to many things, and I have long ignored the criticism of others.

He was a little curious about Yuan Miaoyu's outfit today, so after getting out of the car, he subconsciously looked at the white limousine not far away. When he looked over, he noticed that the logo of the white car was golden. .

He looked over and saw Yuan Miaoyu in a red wedding dress with a red hijab on her head, getting out of the car with the support of two female officials.

Big red wedding dress?

Not a wedding dress?

Li Zhongwu was stunned, probably because he had been exposed to it since he was a child in Yuan Shikong. From some time on, his impression of the bride was always the image of the bride wearing a white wedding dress.

Therefore, at this time, he was surprised when he saw the bride in a red wedding dress.

However, looking at Yuan Miaoyu in a red wedding dress, he suddenly felt that this fake marriage suddenly had a bit of sacred flavor.

Because he remembered that traditional Chinese marriages required worshiping heaven and earth.

To worship heaven and earth is to marry someone under the witness of heaven and earth.

In contrast, the weddings that have spread from the West to China involve wearing wedding dresses and suits, swearing oaths to the Bible, and becoming husband and wife.

However, no one can be sure whether the content of the "Bible" is true or false.

No one can prove that the God mentioned in the Bible really exists.

The funniest thing is - most Chinese people don't believe in God, yet so many people get married in a Christian wedding.

To swear an oath to marry a god that you don't even believe exists, is such a wedding really sacred?

"Consort! Please move!"

A female officer came over to remind Li Zhongwu.

Li Zhongwu then withdrew his gaze from looking at Yuan Miaoyu, nodded, and under the signal of the female officer, he joined Yuan Miaoyu who was wearing a red hijab, and then they each led the two sections of the big red flower, and walked towards the gate of Yansi Hall together.

Inside the Yansi Hall.

Emperor Yuan Weilie and Empress Pan Yingyun had already sat on the throne, and a dignified female official stood on both sides.

Li Zhongwu, who had just stepped into the gate of the palace, was a little surprised when he saw so many female officials, and thought to himself: Where are the eunuchs?Are there no eunuchs in this palace?Are all female officials serving the emperor?
Although he was surprised in his heart, he still remembered the etiquette that those female officials told him these days, so after entering the palace, he did not look up at the emperor and empress.

He only looked at them secretly from the corner of his eye.

To the emperor, Li Zhongwu had no awe in his heart.

If one had to say there was awe, it would only be in awe of a certain power that the opponent might hold in his hands that he could not match.

As for the divine right of kings?The emperor is the son of heaven?
He doesn't believe it at all!
Because after the disappearance of the Chinese emperor in the original time and space for so many years, not only did everyone's life not get worse, but they got better.

What does this mean?
He thinks it can at least show that the emperor is redundant!

It can also explain-the emperor is not a son of heaven, if he is the son of heaven, then the emperor cannot disappear, otherwise, would God also cut off his children and grandchildren?
Li Zhongwu led Yuan Miaoyu to the foot of the altar and stood still.

Danchi is the stone steps painted red in front of the emperor's palace.

At this time, a female official closest to the emperor stepped forward lightly, and whispered to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the seventh princess and her son-in-law are already in place. Will the wedding begin immediately?"

The emperor opened his cloudy eyes, glanced at Li Zhongwu who was under the alchemy, fixed his eyes on the golden mask on Li Zhongwu's face, and then nodded slightly expressionlessly.

After getting the emperor's approval, the female officer took two steps back, turned around, and then slowly straightened her waist, facing the two newcomers under Dan Chi, and everyone in and out of the hall, and announced loudly: "Follow the heavens, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, the closest relatives Let us learn from each other, today, Yuan Miaoyu, the Seventh Princess of the Tian Family, is marrying her son-in-law, and I will be honored! The wedding will begin immediately! Princess and son-in-law, please prepare!!"

Immediately after Dan Chi came down, a female official quietly gestured to Li Zhongwu, motioning him to take the Seventh Princess and turn around to face outside the palace gate.

Li Zhongwu has learned these etiquettes a long time ago.

At that moment, he turned and faced the palace gate.

Yuan Miaoyu, who was wearing a red hijab, also turned around silently.

"One worship to heaven and earth!! The white heads will never leave each other!!"

The female officer on Danchi announced loudly.

According to etiquette, Li Zhongwu and Yuan Miaoyu immediately knelt down to the heaven and earth outside the palace gate in a calm manner, and made a big salute in the posture of prostrating their five bodies to the ground.

"Get up!"

The officer shouted.

Li Zhongwu and Yuan Miaoyu got up slowly, turned around, and faced the emperor and empress sitting high above Danqi.

"Second obeisance to the high hall!! Raise your eyebrows without red eyes!!"

The female officer shouted again.

Li Zhongwu and Yuan Miaoyu knelt down again and saluted.

Kneeling at this time did not touch Li Zhongwu's bottom line, because he knew that since ancient times, when Han people got married, they had to "worship twice".

I've never heard of a man skipping this link because he didn't want to kneel.

"Get up!"

The emperor's weak voice came.

The civil and military ministers in the hall who were witnessing the wedding could hear the weakness in the emperor's voice, some people exchanged glances quietly, and the atmosphere was weird.

Li Zhongwu was also a little surprised that the emperor was so weak.

But at this moment, he didn't have time to think about it, and immediately stood up with Yuan Miaoyu and stood facing each other.

"Three husbands and wives pray to each other!! The children and grandchildren are full of blessings!!!"

The high voice of the female officer sounded again.

This time, Li Zhongwu and Yuan Miaoyu didn't need to kneel down anymore, they bowed to each other and saluted each other.

"Get up!! Licheng!!"

Before the female officer finished speaking, Li Zhongwu and Yuan Miaoyu had already straightened up.

Just when most people thought today's wedding was over, the emperor on the dragon chair suddenly slightly raised his hand.

Seeing this, another female official came out immediately and announced loudly: "The Seventh Princess Yuan Miaoyu accepts the order!!"

Yuan Miaoyu, who was covered with a red hijab, was silent for two seconds, took a step forward, lifted the hem of her wedding dress with both hands, and knelt down gracefully.

Everyone inside and outside the hall looked at this scene with different expressions.

Some already knew what was going to happen, but most were in the dark.

"My son accepts the order!"

Yuan Miaoyu's cold voice came from under the red hijab.

"Following the fate of heaven, the emperor's edict said: The seven princesses are talented and intelligent, have a bright heart, are loyal to the country, have filial piety to the family, and love to the people, and have made great contributions to the country for many years. The royal family, therefore: Today, the Seventh Princess Yuan Miaoyu is specially conferred the title of Zhenguo Princess, and bestowed with the Haotian Sword! Here it is!!"

Such a brief imperial decree shocked many people inside and outside the hall into silence.

Zhen Guo Princess?

In the history of the Great Yan Dynasty, has there ever been such a princess?
The emperor actually gave such a reward on the day of the Seventh Princess' wedding, so... the main purpose of today is to give the Seventh Princess a big wedding?

Or reward the Seventh Princess?

Many people seem to realize something in their hearts.

Princess Zhen Guo and the Haotian Sword were given to the seventh princess together, which immediately elevated the status of the seventh princess to another level.

At least before the change of the old and new imperial powers, the status of the seventh princess among all the princes and princesses is probably second only to the prince.

Even the prince dared not offend her easily.

"My son, thank you, Father!"

Yuan Miaoyu's cold voice sounded again, and Yingying knelt down.

The female officer on Danchi trotted down to deliver the imperial decree to Yuan Miaoyu who had just got up. Yuan Miaoyu poked out a jade hand from her wedding dress and received the imperial decree.

Another female officer trotted quickly and brought the Emperor's Haotian Sword.

But Yuan Miaoyu, who was wearing a red hijab, couldn't see it.

Li Zhongwu hesitated for a moment, and stepped forward to take the sword for her.

The female officer holding Haotian Sword was stunned.

The other people looked different, but no one stood up and scolded.

When he took the Haotian Sword, Li Zhongwu felt that the scabbard was a little hot, like the shell of a burning furnace.

This made him realize that this sword might be a bit special, but it was inconvenient for him to check it under the eyes of everyone. He took the sword and retreated to Yuan Miaoyu's side.

At this moment, the emperor slowly got up and left with the support of two female officials.

The rest of the female officials who had just read out the imperial decree announced loudly: "Open the table!! My lords and nobles, please enjoy the food and wine to the fullest!!"

The emperor just left?
Li Zhongwu was surprised when Yuan Miaoyu's cold voice came from beside him: "My son-in-law! Help me to leave through the side door! Go back to the princess mansion!"

As she spoke, she stretched out her left hand to his side.

Li Zhongwu was even more surprised.

Because in his impression, on the day of the wedding, the bride and groom were going to toast the guests, so they went back like this?

The whole wedding without saying hello to those guests?

However, since Yuan Miaoyu made such an arrangement, he has no objection. Anyway, those civil and military ministers, princes, and princesses are not relatives and friends of his family.

They are all relatives and friends of the woman's house.

The woman herself doesn't care about them, why does he care about them as a son-in-law?
What's more, his marriage with Yuan Miaoyu is just a formality, so don't worry about it.

He reached out and grabbed Yuan Miaoyu's jade hand, and led him towards the side door where the emperor had just left.

As soon as Li Zhongwu led Yuan Miaoyu out of the side door, he saw a plump woman standing under the eaves in front of him.

Taking a closer look, it turned out that it was Qin Jingyu who had fought against him in Binhai City before.

Today's Qin Jingyu was wearing a black toga and was looking at him coldly.

Li Zhongwu looked at her and saw that she had no intention of coming over, and he couldn't see Princess Seven's white wedding car not far away, so he took Princess Seven to the wedding car.

From the beginning to the end, Qin Jingyu didn't come over to say a word, nor did he call to stop them.

Li Zhongwu didn't even understand why she was standing so far away looking at him?
Just for a second look?
