Lu Sheng didn't want to mention marriage, but when she turned 15, the wedding ceremony always had to be done.
April 11th was Lu Sheng's fifteenth birthday, and it was also the day when she was married. Qi Yang and Lu Qipei obviously attached great importance to her. They had long regarded her as a parent and child for many years. Naturally, this significant wedding ceremony would not be overlooked.
Since March, Yongzhou Grand Princess Mansion has been preparing for this ceremony - hairpins, hairpins, hairpin crowns, skirts, deep clothes, formal dresses, everything needs to be prepared in advance, and everything needs to be carefully select. In addition to this, it is more important to determine the people who will attend the ceremony, such as the guest, the praiser, and the secretary, all need to be considered one by one.
After all, the Princess Mansion took root in Yongzhou not long ago, so don't think about the elders in the clan who are far away in the capital, and there are only two single seedlings in the Lu family. Without relatives and elders, the consideration of these personnel is more worrying than the material preparation.
Lu Qipei and Qi Yang negotiated for a long time, and the two of them were the masters. It's just that the likes and Yousi have not made a decision after thinking about it for a long time, so they plan to leave it to Lu Sheng to decide.
Things were getting ready in an orderly manner, and Lu Sheng also discussed with the sisters who had been friends with him about the candidates for the likers and Yousi. But at this time, a team of people came to the capital, not only brought the emperor's will, but also the princess Anping came in person.
Princess Anping is the emperor's younger sister, but the two are not siblings. The emperor is the eldest son of the concubine, and she is the first daughter of the first prince. The origins of the two really have to be discussed, but Princess Anping is actually more noble. However, the first prince died early, and he was not even able to ascend to the throne.
Fortunately, the emperor was merciful and never suppressed his younger siblings over the years. In particular, Princess Anping was from a more noble background, and he never suffered any grievances in these years. Now that she has passed the age of 笄, she is also prosperous in Beijing.
Qi Yang and Lu Qipei have long been far away from the government, but they all know the news in Beijing, but I don't know why the other party came to Yongzhou
Fortunately, after the imperial decree was read out, everyone knew the reason—the emperor decreed to confer the title of Lord of Lu Sheng County. This title is not high, but it is very rare for a woman with a foreign surname who has no blood relationship with the royal family.
I also know that this is the emperor's return to his aunt and uncle. Because the two had been far away from the court and had no children for many years, the emperor's earlier plan to repay the two children's heirs finally came to nothing. In the end, he had no choice but to hear that his aunt loved his uncle, his niece, so he made this decree. Even sent my sister to come in person, just to support the scene, and by the way said that I still remember my aunt.
Qi Yang and Lu Qipei didn't pay much attention to this, and Lu Sheng was not overjoyed by the title, but in the presence of Princess Anping and the envoy from the capital, the family of three happily accepted the order.
Princess Anping is only seventeen now, only two years older than Lu Sheng. When she announced the decree, her expression was solemn, but after she announced the decree, her expression relaxed, and she immediately returned to her pretty girly appearance.
At that time, Qi Yang and the prince were very close. Although Anping was young at that time, he was quite close to this aunt, and he was still not familiar after not seeing him for many years. After she handed out the imperial edict, she quickly took Qi Yang's arm and called out with a smile, "Auntie."
Qi Yang responded with a smile and casually exchanged a few words. Anping turned his head and rushed to Lu Qipei and called out, "Uncle."
Lu Qipei nodded, not intending to chat with Anping, but then she unexpectedly found that the girl's eyes fell on her for a long time, but she paid more attention than when she faced Qi Yang. This made Lu Qipei frown uncomfortably, and he lowered his head to look at himself without a trace, making sure that his clothes were all right, and then he turned his slightly puzzled eyes to Qi Yang.
Qi Yang naturally received it, but he didn't see anything wrong with Lu Qipei, so he simply turned his head and asked Anping, "Anping, why have you been staring at the concubine?"
Anping then retracted his gaze, smiled, and said naturally: "It is widely rumored in Beijing that my uncle looks beautiful. When I was young, I don't even remember what my uncle looked like, but now it's rare to come to Yongzhou, so I couldn't help it, so I watched more. Two eyes. Aunt won't be too stingy to let you see?"
Qi Yang always felt that these words were a bit strange, but he didn't think much about the younger generation. On the other hand, Lu Sheng looked at An Ping's bright smile, and vaguely sensed that there was a deep meaning in the other party's smile.
April 11th is coming soon, the season when spring and summer meet, the weather is neither cold nor hot, it is very comfortable.
Three days before, the guest was abstinent, and the previous day was a guest. It is true that Zheng Bin decided on Lu Sheng's teacher Wei Shi, and Yousi finally decided on Wei Shi's daughter, Lu Sheng's senior sister. But the position of the liker was not the good sister Lu Sheng had set before, but was snatched by Princess Anping from the capital. She disregarded her own princess honor and asked for this in person, and it was naturally not easy for others to refuse.
Fortunately, despite her high status, Princess Anping didn't come to find fault with Lu Sheng's wedding ceremony, and she didn't want to make trouble with her aunt, so the preparation, start and even progress of the ceremony went smoothly.
On the day of the wedding ceremony, countless people came to watch the ceremony. In addition to the importance attached to the Princess Mansion, many people also came to see Princess Anping.
Lu Sheng, who was supposed to be the center of the whole ceremony, seemed to be stealing the limelight by others. Fortunately, she didn't care, and Princess Anping also lacked interest in the flattery of others.
It was lively, and the ceremony soon began, and everyone fell silent.
When Lu Sheng knelt down on the seat, the teacher Wei walked in front of her with a serious face, and chanted loudly: "When the moon is auspicious, it is time to add yuan clothes. Abandon your young aspirations, and let yourselves become virtues. Sincerely, Jie Er Jingfu." After saying that, she combed her hair and added a hairpin.
Anping, as a supporter, after the guest withdrew, he symbolically straightened his hair for Lu Sheng. Afterwards, when Lu Sheng returned to the room to change his clothes, he personally took the plain clothes and skirt that matched the hairpin from Yousi, and sent it to the room to change with Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng felt a little complicated when his own wedding ceremony was given by a princess who had a high status in person. But in the face of Anping, who had only known each other for a few days and didn't even have much interaction, she naturally didn't say much, and simply thanked her.
Anping smiled and left first to give her time to change before continuing the wedding ceremony.
Lu Sheng has no parents. Today, Qi Yang and Lu Qipei are the masters. They are her nominal uncle and aunt, but she privately treats them as parents. After changing clothes and leaving, Lu Sheng simply thanked the two of them for their kindness of raising them.
For a moment, Qi Yang and Lu Qipei felt their hearts and almost wanted to recognize Lu Sheng as their daughter on the spot. But after that impulse, I looked back and thought about it, but I found that the three of them got along like family, and the daughter was just a name. Yes or no, it doesn't really matter, as long as Lu Sheng's mind doesn't change today, they will treat her like their own.
As his thoughts turned, the ceremony continued.
During the second overtime, Lu Sheng was still sitting on his knees, and Mrs. Wei walked up to her as before, and chanted loudly: "Auspicious month ordering, this is Shen Erfu. Respect Erweiyi, Shu Shende. Longevity of the eyebrows. Years, receive Hu Fu forever." After saying that, Anping took off the hairpin for Lu Sheng, and Mrs. Wei put the hairpin on her hairpin.
Then continue to be hairpin, continue to change clothes. Lu Sheng put on the dark clothes that matched the hairpin, and then came out to thank the teacher.
After three additions, Lu Sheng sat down on his knees, and Mrs. Wei chanted loudly: "According to the correctness of the year, and the order of the month, Xianjia will take it. The brothers are here, so that they can become Jude. The yellow tree has no boundaries, and it is celebrated by the heavens. "Anping took off Lu Sheng's hairpin again, and Wei Shi put on the hairpin for her.
Afterwards, the admirer was wearing a crown, and Lu Sheng changed his dress and came out to thank the guests.
After three additions, Lu Sheng's hairpin crown dress is extremely gorgeous. But the ceremonial ceremony is not over yet, and another etiquette will follow. Like a pilgrim, like picking out words, like listening to lectures, and then bowing and thanking all the participants, this complicated ceremony is over.
The whole process lasted from early morning to afternoon, and it was fortunate that Lu Sheng was not a delicate young lady who grew up in a boudoir. But that's the case. She felt extremely uncomfortable in a heavy dress and a heavy hairpin crown. She just wished that the guests would leave immediately, so she could change this burden immediately.
It's a pity that she can only think about it, everyone came to watch the ceremony, and after the ceremony, the Princess Mansion will naturally prepare a banquet. As the center of this wedding ceremony, Lu Sheng could not escape even if everyone was more concerned about Princess Anping who came from the capital.
Lu Sheng gently supported the hairpin crown on his head, always worried that it would fall if it was too heavy. Then she looked around and suddenly asked the maid next to her, "Where's my rabbit? Which one of you took it away?"
Everyone in the Princess Mansion knew how much Lu Sheng valued her old rabbit, so although the maid was a little stunned when she heard the words, she helped to find it right away. However, the rabbit that was carried to the wedding ceremony has no idea where it went. Lu Sheng was impatient at the banquet, and when he saw this, he simply looked around in that delicate and complicated dress.
After this search, Lu Sheng found the courtyard where the guests were entertained. She walked aimlessly through the mansion, looking for the white figure, and finally found it by the lake after a long search.
It's just different from what she imagined, her rabbit is not grazing by the lake, but is being groomed in the arms of others.
Lu Sheng looked at the familiar dress on the other side and recognized the other person's identity at a glance. However, when she looked at the old rabbit whose eye sockets were comfortably brushed in someone's arms, and even compared to the eyes, she really didn't know what expression to put on for a moment.
Her rabbit has been accustomed to being petty over the years. When did she stay in the arms of strangers so honestly? !
Lu Sheng stared at her bald rabbit, and after a moment of hesitation, he went up. The footsteps quickly disturbed Anping, who was brushing the rabbit's fur. She looked back with an elegant temperament and a beautiful face, but there was a question in her eyes.
For some reason, Lu Sheng felt cramped for a moment, and when he asked for a rabbit, it became: "Why is the princess here?"
Anping continued to touch the rabbit and replied casually, "There are too many people over there, and it's very noisy."
In fact, where is it just noisy? There shouldn't be too many people around An Ping who want to flirt with others. Her liker stole all of Lu Sheng's limelight today! It's just that Her Royal Highness, the precious and precious princess, has never seen anything in the world. She is already tired of such flattery and flattery, and Yongzhou is not the capital. She really doesn't have to aggrieve herself for others, so she simply hides.
Lu Sheng could probably think of the key, so he didn't say anything more. On the contrary, Anping saw that she stopped talking, and instead asked her: "What about you? You are the protagonist of this ceremony, how could you run out and not entertain the guests?"
Meeting the curious and inquiring eyes of the other party, Lu Sheng coughed lightly, then pointed to the rabbit in Anping's arms: "That, the rabbit is mine, I'll come to find it."
Hearing the words, Anping looked down at the rabbit that was about to grow old in his arms. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Have you raised this rabbit for a long time?" After a while, he said, "It's so old that everyone else will dislike it. , you are long in love."
Hearing this, Lu Sheng's ears blushed for some reason, and then he replied calmly, "I have been raising it for more than ten years. It was a gift that His Highness and uncle brought me back when they went to Qiu Shou."
As he spoke, Lu Sheng stepped forward unconsciously, and Anping didn't think anything was wrong. When Lu Sheng sat down next to her, the two of them chatted about rabbits—of course, Lu Sheng was talking about how cute the rabbit was when he was young, the jokes he made when he grew up, and the fact that he was this year. I don't know how many years I can live.
Anping didn't return the rabbit to Lu Sheng. She was stroking the rabbit's no longer smooth fur while listening to Lu Sheng talk about her past with the rabbit over the years. Most of the time, it's Coke. Only when it comes to the old rabbit, Lu Sheng's expression will add two points of sadness.
As soon as the two talked and listened, they got along well, and the original sense of alienation gradually faded.
Lu Sheng took out a small packet of pastries from nowhere, spread out the wrapped oiled paper, put it in the palm of his hand and handed it to Anping: "It was too late before the end of the wedding ceremony, and now it's been delayed for a long time, princess, you should be hungry too, right? If you are impatient to go to the front to entertain the guests, why don't you have some snacks first, and pad your stomach."
Anping didn't refuse, but she hugged and touched the rabbit, but at this moment she couldn't reach for the cake. The momentary hesitation was seen by Lu Sheng, who didn't think much, reached out and took a piece of cake and fed it to Anping's lips.
Yin Hong's lips touched the soft and glutinous pastry, and Lu Sheng realized his rashness later.
She was a little embarrassed, and just wanted to withdraw her hand, but Anping had already opened his mouth and bit the cake. She ate the small cakes in one bite, and after chewing slowly for a while, she commented: "Soft, waxy and sweet, this cake tastes good."
Lu Sheng was happy when he heard the words. The two shared the pastry, and they seemed to be getting closer again. The topic was gradually no longer limited to the rabbit who went to her arms, and all kinds of interesting things were talked about.
Speaking of the rise, Lu Sheng took Anping's hand and shook it, but she did not reject it.
Just talking, the topic seems to be a little off. Anping finally asked curiously: "I occasionally heard from the emperor that my uncle used to wear women's clothes to travel. I don't know if this is true? Have you seen it, Asheng?"
Lu Sheng, who was stunned by this sudden topic: "..."
The author has something to say: Lu Sheng (lifts the table): Miss, I'm teasing you, didn't you notice? Your purpose is to discuss my uncle's women's clothing with me? !
