People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 550 Worship Heaven and Earth, Prince Arrives

On the long street, red lanterns were hung all over the treetops, and every mansion on both sides of the street was also hung with big red lanterns.

The entire long street is populated by the royal family surnamed Li, and they are all relatives of today's groom.

The sound of gongs and drums sounded outside the gate of the square in an instant, followed by pieces of firecrackers being thrown into the brazier, making a crackling sound.

The suona sounded, and there was great joy.

Under the square gate, Li Xuan riding on a tall horse appeared in front of everyone, and suddenly countless men and women onlookers appeared on both sides of the long street.

The servants of the palace on both sides held wooden baskets wrapped with red silk in their hands, and then scattered the copper coins in the basket to the crowd, and there were bursts of cheers from the crowd.

Although Li Xuan's face was restrained from joy, the corners of his eyes had already shown all the joy in his heart to everyone.

But even so, Li Xuan's eyes were still sharply scanning the crowd on both sides of the long street.

Many of them are the eyeliner of the Nanchang Palace, and many of them are people from the imperial court. Of course, the dark hands of the Turkic people are also indispensable.

Li Xuan has nothing to do with other places outside, but in this Kaihua workshop, Li Xuan does not allow anyone to make trouble here.

……

Riding on a white horse, Li Xuan stopped in front of the gate of Prince Peng's Mansion. After taking a breath, Li Xuan got off the horse and walked towards the gate.

At the gate of Prince Peng's Mansion, the sound of crackling firecrackers is still ringing,

At this moment, Li Xu, the heir of King Huo, Li Jing, the heir to King Zheng, and a group of clan disciples were all blocking the doorway, looking at Li Xuan with a smile, as if he had no stance to let go.

Li Xuan stopped in her tracks, looked at the crowd with a wry smile, cupped her hands and said, "Brother Wang, Brother Wang, please give way."

Li Xu glanced at the bridal sedan chair following behind, looked at Li Xuan with a smile and said, "Brothers are not short of those two happy money, but I heard that you wrote a poem in the Lecheng County Government, which is quite good." , So, you have thought about the level of the brothers, let's play a song."

"Yes, come one, come one!" Li Jing, Li Na and others immediately followed suit.

What Li Xuan could say, he never expected that the poem written by his Liu Mansion would have spread to his family in a blink of an eye.

Slightly cupping his hands to Li Xu and the others, Li Xuan smiled wryly and said, "Please let the foolish brother think about it."

Li Xu waved his hand directly, and everyone at the door fell silent.

Li Xuan took a light breath, and while thinking, felt the eyes behind her fall on her, and smiled lightly.

Turning around, under the front gate, a red light hung high, and the moonlight shone on the entire courtyard, evoking a hint of eagerness, and Li Xuan's heart moved.

"A moment in the spring night is worth a thousand gold. The flowers are fragrant and the moon is cloudy. The singing is soft and the sound is soft, and the swing courtyard is dark at night."

Li Xuan cupped her hands to Li Xu and the others and said, "Brother Wang, Brother Wang, it's getting late."

"Haha, indeed, a moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold, 27 Lang, please!" Li Xu laughed and stepped aside, but kept thinking about the phrase "a moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold", compared to the sentence made by Xiangfu "I only envy mandarin ducks but not immortals" is not bad at all.

Li Xuan reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then, under the gaze of everyone, walked into the courtyard of the palace.

The bridal sedan chair behind her followed Li Xuan, all the way to the Heaven and Earth Table in the main courtyard.

The two Quanfu people from the Liu and Li families came forward to offer incense in front of the gods at the table of heaven and earth.

Standing aside, the eldest princess of Huainan picked up the saddle that had been enshrined from the table, and handed it to the Xihou on the side.

Xiguan immediately placed the saddle in front of the sedan chair and placed it on the ground.

Immediately, someone placed a brazier in front of the saddle, and the red blanket was placed all the way to Li Xuan's side.

Uncle Ouyang Tong stuffed a longbow into Li Xuan's hand, smiled and backed away.

Shooting ceremony: one arrow shoots the sky, a good match is bestowed by God;

A sharp long arrow was shot from Li Xuan's hand, and in a blink of an eye it had already brushed against the upper door rail of the sedan chair and shot straight into the sky.

A long arrow landed directly on the ground in front of the sedan chair, and plunged fiercely into the hard soil, leaving only the arrow feathers shaking on the ground.

With the last arrow, no one saw it, and it was nailed fiercely to the wall opposite to Prince Peng's Mansion with a whistling sound.

"Okay!" Loud applause resounded throughout the compound, Li Xuan heaved a sigh of relief, and handed the longbow back to his uncle Ouyang Tong.

When the applause fell, a serious voice resounded in the entire courtyard: "The bride gets off the sedan chair."

Chen Guang, the doctor of Guanglu, was the one who proclaimed the decree to grant the marriage, and later he was directly used as a matchmaker by Han Wang Li Yuanjia and Ouyang Tongla.

The red car curtain was lifted, and cousin Zhao Huan brought a makeup box from the Tiandi table, touched up the bride's makeup a little, and then helped her get off the sedan chair carefully.

The bride is dressed in a luxurious blue Zhai dress, wearing a golden crown of nine tin flower trees on her head, and her face is painted with delicate flower tin makeup. She holds a peach branch fan in her hand to cover her face, and she strides steadily across the saddle. The brazier, stepping on the red felt, walked to Li Xuan's side step by step.

Li Xuan turned his head slightly, and Liu Jinyu happened to turn his head to look at him at this moment.

There was a trace of uneasiness hidden in the bright eyeballs.

Looking at each other, Li Xuan nodded, his eyes were full of comfort, and Liu Jinyu's expression suddenly eased a lot.

One piece of wedding silk was stuffed into Li Xuan's hands, and the other end was in Liu Jinyu's hands, and the two held tightly.

At this time, Doctor Guanglu Chen Guang walked up to Li Xuan's side, then solemnly faced the heaven and earth table, and shouted loudly: "Bridegroom, bride, bow to heaven and earth, kneel!"

Li Xuan and Liu Jinyu kowtowed forward at the same time, kowtowed once, kowtowed again, kowtowed three times.

"Get up!" Dr. Guanglu Chen Guang's voice fell, and Li Xuan and Liu Jinyu stood up at the same time.

The Tiandi table was moved to one side, and Guanglu doctor Chen Guang followed closely and shouted: "Enter the hall."

Li Xuan and Liu Jinyu stepped forward side by side and walked into the main hall.

The mother and concubine Ouyang sat upright on the left, with a Ruyi on the right, and Li Yuan, the king of Han, stood on one side.

"Second obeisance to the high hall, kneel!"

"Mother!" Li Xuan and Liu Jinyu kowtowed down at the same time again, and then kowtowed three times to their mother and concubine Ouyang.

"Husband and wife worship each other and kneel!"

Under the watchful eyes of countless relatives and friends, Li Xuan and Liu Jinyu stood facing each other, looked at each other, and then directly knelt down.

One kowtow, another kowtow, three kowtows.

Mutual support, mutual understanding, mutual tolerance.

"But fan."

The peach branch fan that Liu Jinyu was holding tightly was put down in a moment, and a beautiful and dignified face suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

"Get up, Licheng!" Dr. Guanglu Chen Guang laughed as he watched the newlyweds stand up.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock at the door.

"His Royal Highness is here!" The high-pitched voice rang directly over the entire Prince Peng Mansion.

Everyone inside and out stood up at this moment.

I saw Li Xian walking in from the outside surrounded by the crowd, wearing a bright yellow Nine Mang Nine Zhang Gun uniform.

Li Xuan knew two people who followed him, one was Ming Chongyan, the doctor of Zuo Sijian, and the other was Gao Qi, the crown prince Dianshan.

Li Xuan took a step forward, bowed and said, "I pay my respects to His Royal Highness, Your Highness is safe forever."

Immediately, all the people in the entire Prince Peng's mansion shouted in unison: "Greetings to Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness is safe forever."

"Your Excellencies, please stand up." Li Xian raised his hand slightly, and everyone present stood up at the same time.

Li Xian looked at the crowd and said: "Today, I am here to congratulate Nanchang Prince and Uncle on behalf of the emperor and queen by order."

Li Xian looked to the side, and the servant on the side immediately stepped forward, and opened an imperial decree in his hand: "Decree of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, hereby is Li Xuan, the king of Nanchang County, who is diligent in the affairs of the king, calms the people, and the Lord of Dechang County Mrs. Liu is gentle and virtuous, with both ability and political integrity. Today, I will bestow eleven gold coins, two pairs of jade ruyis, one gold collar, three gold hairpins of different sizes, three pairs of gold earrings, two pairs of gold bracelets, and one hundred gold and silver buttons each. , ten horses, eighteen altars of fine wine..."

Li Xuan immediately stepped forward, bowed slightly to Li Xian and the servants, then pulled Liu Jinyu, looked north at the palace and kowtowed three times and nine times: "My minister Li Xuan, my concubine Liu Jinyu, thank you for your majesty's grace, long live your majesty Long live."

After the ceremony was over, Li Xuan stood up.

Li Xian waved his hand towards the back, and more than a dozen servants brought gift boxes to the inner courtyard one by one.

"Your Highness!" Li Xuan walked up to Li Xian and cupped his hands in thanks.

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang!" Li Xian cupped his hands slightly towards Li Xuan, Han Wang Li Yuanjia and the clan, and then said with a smile: "Gu should have arrived early, but he started late."

"It's just right for your highness to come down, please come inside." Li Xuan asked Li Xian to go in, Li Xian waved his hand and said: "Uncle Wang is doing his own thing, and it's good for Xian to go to the third and fourth younger brothers and Taiping."

"Here!" After Li Xuan finished speaking, she took a half step back, Li Xian smiled and went to the side courtyard.

"Real man!" Li Xuan faced, Ming Chongyan slightly cupped his hands.

Ming Chongyan nodded, and looked at Li Xuan with some surprise. Li Xuan's expression was a little different, as if something happened to him that he didn't know about.

Slowing down a bit, Doctor Guanglu Chen Guang immediately read aloud: "The bride and groom are sent to the bridal chamber."

There was a bang and a commotion behind him, but everything in Liu Jinyu's ears seemed to be in another world.

Holding the wedding silk tightly with her two slender hands, Li Xuan dragged her all the way to the bridal chamber on the east side of the courtyard.

Eight maids stood on both sides of the bed. Under the quilt, longan, litchi, red dates, chestnuts, peanuts and other happy fruits had been placed in advance. On top of that, there was a low table with a washbasin.

Aunt Zhou Shi and Aunt Cui Shi walked in from the outside, looked at Li Xuan and Liu Jinyu who had already sat on the two sides of the short table and smiled with pursed lips.

At the door, Zhao Qi, Zhao Huan, and even Princess Taiping, Prime Minister Li Dan, these young and unmarried children all looked in curiously.

"Woba, wash your hands." The two aunts lifted a kettle at the same time, and Li Xuan and Liu Jinyu put their hands into the copper basin at the same time.

Warm water was poured into the hands of the two of them. Li Xuan stepped forward slightly, and the big hand covered Liu Jinyu's small hand.

Liu Jinyu subconsciously wanted to shrink back, but at this moment, a pair of catkins had been caught by Li Xuan, and she twitched subconsciously, but she didn't twitch, a little shy, and looked at Li Xuan shyly.

Under the golden crown of the Jiutian flower tree, there is a pair of bright and somewhat dodgy eyes.

Soft and delicate, in the center of the brow like a goose egg, is a beautiful flower tin.

Li Xuan grabbed Liu Jinyu's hand firmly, and said, "Don't be nervous, now, this room, this courtyard, and the entire palace are your home, and you will be in charge of the entire home in the future."

Hearing what Li Xuan said, Liu Jinyu gradually felt relieved.

Zhou Shi and Cui Shi standing on one side couldn't help laughing.

Isn't this the purpose of Wo Yan?
