Today, the levy is accepted, and on behalf of the royal family, the envoys who came to the Yichunhou mansion to hire are two envoys, who are the deputy envoys. Even if the deputy envoys were high-ranking officials in the imperial court, I thought, every step of the prince's wedding was to go into the history of the country in detail, and those who could show up would not be unknown people.
In other words, everyone present has a higher official position than Cheng Yuanxian.
Cheng Yuanxian is really inferior and full of inexplicable pride.
The rites were sent to send the conscripts and books into the Hou's mansion, and then, according to the cumbersome etiquette, they bowed again and again in front of the heavy incense table and the curtains, and displayed the royal betrothal gifts one by one in the atrium. At this moment, the surrounding area of Yichun Hou's mansion was full of people, and everyone pointed at the mahogany box on the ground, admiring and beautiful voices.
After that, it was bookmaking that entered the palace. The ceremonial envoys respectfully put the jade book on the case, and then the crown prince and concubine first, and they were sent into the main hall with the sound of exclamation one after another, followed by a dazzling honor guard, which filled the main courtyard to the fullest. . He was making the book read out in public, and seeing his face, it was obviously an honor to be able to participate in this grand ceremony.
After Cheng Yuanxian and others knelt down and accepted the decree, the crown princess' uniform was escorted by the female official into Cheng Yujin's house. Cheng Yujin changed into a full set of crown uniforms in her own hospital, and slowly walked into the main hall surrounded by several female officials.
The crown princess set an example in the world, this sentence is not just talk. Both the prince and the prince's concubine have important ceremonial significance, sacrificial sacrifices, morning congratulations, the first day... It can be said that the world's etiquette, where there is an emperor, there is a prince, and where there is a prince, there is a prince.
On such a serious occasion today, Cheng Yujin, the main character, is the highlight.
The place where Cheng Yujin appeared was in the inner courtyard, and would not be seen by outsiders. Cheng Yujin wears the crown of nine Zhais and four phoenixes, dark blue Zhai clothing, the outer cover is a single piece, the waist is tied over the knees, the jade pendant, and the Zhu Shou, the whole set of clothing is complicated and solemn.
Cheng Yujin's demeanor is perfect, her appearance is gorgeous, and she is so dazzling that you can't look directly in the whole dress.
Wearing such a wide-sleeved garment with the sleeves swaying back and forth is extremely rude. Cheng Yujin walked out slowly under everyone's attention, her palms were hidden in her sleeves, her right hand was on the back of her left hand, her arms were flush, and her wide sleeves fell naturally, looking solemn and elegant.
Under the eyes of many good or bad eyes, Cheng Yujin did not panic at all. She stopped steadily in front of the incense table, bowed four saluts under the guidance of the maid of worship, and then knelt down and listened to the maid of prayer reading the book.
This is Cheng Yujin's official canonization will, which is made of jade, the highest-level book in etiquette. After the female official read the pamphlet, Cheng Yujin took it with both hands, and the female official kneeling on the right hurriedly walked on her knees, raising her hand above her head respectfully. Cheng Yujin put the book in the hand of the female official on the right, and with the help of the palace servants, she stood up slowly, held the jade Guigui and bowed upright for four salutations, and the female official finally said: "The ceremony is over."
When the people in the courtyard heard it, they immediately stepped forward to give Cheng Yujin a big gift: "Congratulations to the Crown Princess."
Cheng Yujin couldn't help but smile and nodded lightly to everyone.
Although the whole world knew that she was the Crown Princess, but after all, her name was not right, and other people still used the identity of the Cheng family to call her. But from now on, she is officially canonized and is the real Crown Princess.
In the future, when everyone sees her, they have to bow their heads and call out "Prince Concubine" respectfully.
The supervisor went out from the main entrance, walked to the outer courtyard, and announced in a long voice that "the ceremony is complete". There was a sound of congratulations outside, and the accompanying officials came up to congratulate Cheng Yuanxian, while the deputy envoy and the eunuch of the celebrant left after a short exchange of words. They had tasks to do and had to return to the palace to return to their orders.
After the canonization, it will be the official wedding day soon. In the past few days, the entire Yichun Hou Mansion has been busy turning the bottom. The Cheng family had never done such a big ceremony. The crown prince's big wedding was different from an ordinary wedding banquet. If it was an ordinary wedding, if something went wrong at the wedding banquet, it would at most be embarrassing in front of other families. If something goes wrong, it's not about losing face, it's about losing your head.
The Cheng family's family plan is not good, or else the whole family will not be aggressive for generations. It is conceivable that the rules of the people in the Houfu of Yichun are not very good.
Everyone in the Cheng family was so panicked. Some time ago, when the second aunt got married, there was a big mess when they welcomed their relatives. Everyone from the Huo family had arrived at the door, and the bride's room had not yet been settled, so in the end, they almost didn't even find the hijab. If it weren't for Cheng Yujin's procrastination outside for a long time, I'm afraid that the Cheng family would have lost a big ugly day.
This time, there is no other "Cheng Yujin" in the house to help delay the time, and even if there is, I am afraid that the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not allow it.
The Cheng family was flustered and afraid, and everyone was so busy that they couldn't touch the ground. Fortunately, for this kind of ceremony, a whole set of people were dispatched from the palace to arrange it. They specialize in the arts, and no one is better at these red tapes than the people in the palace. The Cheng family listened to the command of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the female officials did what they asked them to do, and they arrived at the right time without a hitch.
To welcome this day, Cheng Yujin was woken up before dawn. In fact, no one could sleep on this day. Not only Cheng Yujin, but also Mrs. Cheng's main room in Shou'an Hall, and the main rooms of Qingfu and Cheng Yuanxian in Xuanhua Courtyard all turned on the lights one after another.
Cheng Yujin first burned incense, took a bath, changed clothes, changed into Yanju clothes, and then dragged a long red shirt, along with Cheng Yuanxian and Qingfu County Lord, to the ancestral hall to salute and sacrifice wine. This trip is a special trip to tell the ancestors that there is a daughter in the Cheng family who has chosen to be the crown prince, and she will enter the palace today. Before the family daughter left, she came to tell the ancestors specially.
After reading the long congratulatory speech, Cheng Yujin bowed deeply and bid farewell to the ancestors of the Cheng family.
The tablet on the outermost side is Lord Cheng.
When Cheng Cheng Yuanjing just came back from out of town, with frost and snow from afar on his body, he walked quickly into Old Houye Cheng's ward. Not long after, Cheng Yujin also ran in. The development of the two worlds begins to differ from here.
At that time, Lord Cheng's last wish before his death was fulfilled, and he was very relieved to see everything in front of him, and he was able to die peacefully. I wonder if Old Marquis Cheng thought that a year later, the little girl who came in with Cheng Yuanjing would follow him out of Cheng's house.
After returning from the ancestral hall, Cheng Yuanxian and the Lord of Qingfu County sat in the main hall. Under the guidance of the female official, Cheng Yujin deeply worshipped Cheng Yuanxian and the Lord of Qingfu County. Cheng Yuanxian looked at his daughter who was not his own, but brought him a glorious daughter he could not even imagine, and was filled with emotion.
He was originally worried that his father had died, and no one would take care of him, so what would happen to his title. However, who knows, Cheng Yuanxian didn't need to worry about it, and the title fell steadily to him.
After all, the prince's father is nothing but a prince. In the future, when writing notes on the wedding ceremony of the crown prince, the princess's background is not decent enough, so how can the people in the Xiu Shiguan write it
It is not necessary for Li Chengjing to say that the people below will quickly handle Cheng Yuanxian's succession, and there is no need for Cheng Yuanxian to worry about the formalities. As if lying down, he won.
In the past, the Lord of Qingfu County used this matter to run against him, but at this moment, at Cheng Yujin's wedding, Cheng Yuanxian really felt that his life was good.
I have a father in the first half of my life, and a daughter in the second half of my life.
Cheng Yuanxian cleared his throat, tried his best to show a solemn appearance, and said, "You go to the world, be diligent and cautious in the night, and respect your filial piety."
Cheng Yujin responded: "Daughter is taught. Thank you father."
She walked to the Lord of Qingfu County again, and the Lord of Qingfu County also said: "Your father has a lesson, you should respect it."
"Yes. Thank you mother."
Cheng Yujin's time is very tight, and there are arrangements every hour and every moment. Cheng Yuanxian and Qingfu County Master did not dare to delay Cheng Yujin, and quickly let her go to the next step.
The Lord of Qingfu County watched Cheng Yujin walk out of the main entrance, the red big shirt behind him dragged a flowing arc on the threshold. The Qingfu County Lord sighed in a low voice, even if he was reluctant, he had to admit that the latter half of his life, Cheng Enbao, and even the fate of the entire Cheng family, depended on the woman in front of him.
Cheng Yujin did not hesitate to confess his indifference. The previous time, Qingfu County Master and Cheng Yujin had basically torn their faces. But so what, Qingfu wanted to please others even more.
Cheng Yujin went to see Mrs. Cheng again and listened to Mrs. Cheng's advice. When the bride gets married, the elders in the family must give pointers to the bride, in order to warn the daughter to go to her husband's house, be filial to her parents-in-law, teach her children to each other, and give birth to children as soon as possible. But those who are qualified to teach the bride are the elders of the direct line. In other words, Cheng Yuanhan and Ruan's uncles and aunts are not qualified.
Even if they are Cheng Yujin's biological parents.
After the ordination was over, Cheng Yujin went back to the room and changed into the cumbersome Yanju clothes and the more cumbersome and heavier Zhaiyi dress. She has nothing to do with her after that, she just needs to wait for the welcoming team to arrive.
She was able to relax for a while here, thinking about coming, I'm afraid Li Chengjing is very busy there.
That's true. The crown prince is the capital of a dynasty, and the wedding is a matter of inheritance, which is the most important etiquette. In particular, this is the first big ceremony held by Li Chengjing after returning to the status of the prince, which can best prove his legitimacy. All kinds of reasons are superimposed together, and it is needless to say how grand the wedding was in the end.
Cheng Yujin didn't know what was going on outside. She didn't know how long she had waited when she heard a sudden noise outside. The lively sound became louder and louder, and gradually the sound of ritual music could be heard. Cheng Yujin knew that Li Chengjing was here.
These procedures are clearly familiar, and even Cheng Yujin knew exactly when Li Chengjing would arrive at Cheng's door.
She is going to marry, she is really going to marry Li Chengjing. Cheng Yujin was so nervous that even Li Chengjing's face was blurred. The last time they met was when she was just recovering from her illness in the first month. At that time, she was affected too much, and she was not in the mood to pay attention to Li Chengjing's appearance. Even after she knew that he was not Cheng Yuanjing, but the crown prince in the palace, Cheng Yujin didn't look directly at him very much.
As a result, Cheng Yujin's most memorable scene turned out to be the early spring of Jianwu's 22nd year. The wind blew up the snow overnight, and he couldn't see the road on the opposite side. Only his straight posture was swept up in red. Extra attention.
After hearing the voice, the female officials secretly paid attention to Cheng Yujin. They were very satisfied when they saw that the Crown Princess was sitting upright and did not mess up because of the sound of welcoming her relatives outside.
Cheng Yujin sat dignifiedly on the bed, clasping her slender hands and hiding them in her sleeves. Her neck was straight, and the Jiu Zhai Sifeng crown on her head didn't even shake, she looked extremely calm. The calm crown princess still dutifully performed the etiquette, but she was thinking, she can't remember Li Chengjing's face, so does he still remember her appearance? Her makeup look is especially exaggerated today. In fact, she looks much better. If she is misunderstood, she will be annoyed.
The sound of ceremony and music outside was beating and beating. Listening to the distance of the sound, they had already entered the mansion. Today, Cheng Yuanxian is going to wear the most formal court clothes. When he sees his future son-in-law, he must first kneel and salute to the prince, and then hear the admirers sing: "The crown prince is ordered to greet the prince in person."
Every step after that was like this, Li Chengjing walked at the front, the ritual official followed, and then it was Cheng Yuanxian's turn. They stopped in the middle hall, and at this time, Cheng Yujin also walked to the middle hall under the guidance of the female official, and stopped behind Qingfu County Master.
When they were all here, there was still a screen in front of her eyes, preventing their husband and wife from meeting directly. In fact, Cheng Yujin had a crown weighing five or six pounds on her head, and she was really in no mood to see people. She vaguely heard Li Chengjing sacrificing wild goose, and the admirers sang many words, and finally the long voice sang: "After the ceremony, the crown prince is invited to go out."
Li Chengjing also seemed speechless. He glanced at the screen where Cheng Yujin was, helplessly and angry. After doing so many tricks, it was very troublesome step by step. In the end, he didn't even see Cheng Yujin's people, so he let him go out
Especially Cheng Yujin was not far away, and he saw her figure at a glance. For the first time, Li Chengjing felt that these old-fashioned and cumbersome regulations were extremely annoying.
At this moment, the main hall was full of people, and there were uninterrupted music playing outside, which logically was very noisy, but with Li Chengjing's movements, it was strangely quiet for a moment.
In the end, Li Chengjing didn't say anything and walked out first. Cheng Yujin put down her heart, and only felt a little funny at this time. The corners of her mouth twitched up, but she quickly suppressed it and disappeared, she was still the dignified princess.
After Cheng Yuanjing was invisible, the female official led Cheng Yujin out. She got on the phoenix sedan chair at the middle gate. The phoenix sedan chair was magnificent and exquisite, and even the people carrying the sedan chair were women. She sat in the phoenix sedan chair, and then the curtain was closed, covering it tightly.
Cheng Yujin really never saw Li Chengjing from the beginning to the end.
Royal attention, really pay attention.
Today's prince's wedding is undoubtedly a hot spot in the city, and people are watching along the way. The ceremonial car of the big wedding passed through the East Chang'an Gate and walked to the Meridian Gate in a mighty manner. All the escorting guards and officers stop here, and it is forbidden to go any further. Only Cheng Yujin's honor guard continued to move forward and walked into Dongshunmen. As soon as her sedan chair landed, she heard a knock on the door of the sedan chair, and the accompanying female official reminded softly outside: "Prince Concubine, please get out of the sedan chair."
Cheng Yujin almost immediately realized who was knocking on the sedan door just now. She held Yu Gui's fingers tightly, and then her eyes suddenly lit up, the car curtain was lifted, Li Chengjing was wearing a black and black robe, and the colorful nines in front of her swayed gently, making it impossible to see his eyes. But Cheng Yujin knew that he was looking at her.
Unmarried couples are not allowed to meet before marriage, but they face each other day and night after marriage, living and dying together. He watched it all the time during his lifetime, and he would be buried in the same coffin after his death.
Share destiny and spend the rest of your life together.
Cheng Yujin's heart was deeply shaken, and she felt more empathy than when she accepted the canonization. Li Chengjing reached out to her, as if inviting her into his life.
Cheng Yujin hesitated for a moment, then slowly stretched out her hand.
