On July 20th, Ziwei Palace got busy very early. Today is the day of her departure, so as early as a few days ago, Li Chaoge moved back to the palace from the princess mansion.
In the morning, Li Chaoge took a bath under the service of the maids. As soon as he came out, he was surrounded by all kinds of ladies and nuns, and there was almost no rest.
The nanny put on makeup for her, and it took two hours for each makeup. Li Chaoge watched helplessly as they put on the powder, smeared it, then covered the traces with the powder, and then smeared it on.
Li Chaoge tried his best to suppress his impatience, and finally waited until the dressing was finished. Afterwards, all the court ladies supported Li Chaoge to change the wedding dress. The wedding dress was extremely complicated, Li Chaoge wore three or four layers of undercoat, put on a flower hairpin and large sleeve jacket, and then put on a large dark blue wide-sleeved shirt on the outside. This set is layered on top of each other, the sleeves are layered on top of each other, and the skirt is supported by the fabric inside. Although it is wide, it is not empty, and it looks dignified and luxurious.
After changing the clothes, several female officials worked together to put gold emerald flowers on Li Chaoge's bun. In front of the hair bun is a phoenix flapping its wings, which is lifelike and every detail is made of real gold; behind the hair bun is a complicated tin hairpin, the end of the gold hairpin is carved into blooming flowers, and the center Inlaid with precious stones, the hairpin is long and grand, and the hairpin takes up a lot of space in the bun, so that the bride looks extraordinarily imposing.
In the end, the female officer stepped forward and placed flowers on the center of Li Chaoge's eyebrows.
The flower tint is like a finishing touch, and the whole beauty's makeup is activated in an instant. Looking from a distance, you can see winding green clothes, towering golden hairpins, red brows of beauties, bright and warm colors everywhere, and the atmosphere of the prosperous Tang Dynasty rushing towards us.
The maids praised in unison: "The princess is so beautiful."
Li Chaoge has lost his temper after being tossed about. She couldn't move much, and knelt in the palace like a portrait, quietly waiting for the next ceremony.
At dusk, the procession to welcome the relatives also came. After urging makeup as usual, the palace people surrounded Li Chaoge with fans and walked outside the palace surrounded by Li Chaoge.
When Li Chaoge walked outside the hall, she knew that Gu Mingke was outside, but there were so many fans in front of her eyes, and there were so many people around her, Li Chaoge couldn't tell where Gu Mingke was. Li Chaoge performed the ceremony under the guidance of a female official, and then followed everyone to the Daye Hall to bid farewell to the emperor and queen.
During the wedding, the bride has to bid farewell to her parents in the family temple, which means that she will no longer be a chick under the wings of her parents, but will start a new family with her husband. The Empress Dowager Emperor had already been there in the Daye Hall, and they changed into empress costumes, sitting upright in the hall, solemn and majestic. The emperor's complexion was not good, but he insisted on coming to Li Chaoge's wedding.
The emperor saw with his own eyes that Li Chaoge was surrounded by the crowd and entered the Hall of Great Achievement. She was covered by layers of fans, and her face could not be seen clearly, but she could vaguely see her black hair and snow skin, and her gorgeous hairpin. The emperor suddenly felt very emotional. Li Chaoge was lost at the age of six and returned at the age of ten or six. The emperor was absent too much during her growing up. It seemed that in the blink of an eye, she had reached the age of marriage.
The emperor couldn't help but think of when Li Chaoge was just born, Wen Po held Li Chaoge out for the emperor to see? Her face was not as big as the emperor's palm. This is the first daughter of the emperor and the queen of heaven, which brought the emperor an incomparable sense of novelty, but she was lost before the emperor could show his paternal love.
When she came back again, she had become calm, proud, and powerful, and she could no longer see the tenderness and weakness on her face. Chaoge Yexian is fifty miles away, eight hundred princes are facing Lingshan, and the Shengyang has just shown its alluring appearance. Unfortunately, the emperor can't see her fully blooming.
The emperor managed to maintain his composure, and said to Li Chaoge: "When you leave the palace, be respectful. Be diligent day and night, and be filial and respectful."
Li Chaoge bowed down and agreed. The Queen of Heaven also said: "Your father has taught you, and you should respect it. Encourage him to respect him, and he will never violate it."
Li Chaoge salutes again. After bidding farewell to his parents and the ancestral temple, Li Chaoge, surrounded by the palace people, boarded the wedding car and headed for his princess mansion. At this moment, the Princess Mansion is already brightly lit, and the guests gathered together, all eagerly looking forward to the arrival of the newcomer.
·
The princess's wedding etiquette is cumbersome, and it is done in the princess mansion, and it is also done here in Pei's mansion.
Marriage is a good marriage between two surnames, and both men and women have their own banquets. The woman's part is naturally in the Princess Mansion, and the Pei family can't take care of it. The man's wedding banquet should have been held in the Gu family, but the Gu family's ancestral house is far away, and secondly, there are few people, so it is handed over to the Pei family.
In the Tang Dynasty, married women had a close relationship with their natal families, and there was no saying that married daughters spilled water. It is normal for a married woman to return to her natal home. Even if her parents-in-law are present, it is not uncommon for a daughter-in-law to take her children and husband to stay at her natal home for two or three months.
Therefore, it is reasonable for the Pei family to host Gu Mingke's wedding banquet. Mrs. Pei has been tense all day today, agreeing that this kind of thing is the most difficult thing to deal with, and it should be done if it is done well. If something goes wrong, mother-in-law and eldest sister-in-law can talk about her to death.
Mrs. Pei was so busy entertaining guests that she didn't even have time to drink water at the end of the day. She was so busy that her throat was burning, and when she turned around, she saw Gu Peishi sitting on the side, with a smile on her face, looking quite yin and yang. Mrs. Pei was already angry, but seeing Gu Pei's behavior, she couldn't hold back her temper. Mrs. Pei barely controlled her tone, and said to Mrs. Gu Pei: "Sister, today is the day of Princess Gu Langshang, and there are many guests coming and going. You are a mother, how much more lively?"
Gu Pei's answer was ambiguous, although she was smiling, she couldn't see much real emotion. A princess is delicate, she doesn't have to serve her husband, she doesn't have to be filial to her parents-in-law, she lives in her own princess mansion as soon as she gets married, and usually goes to the palace to seek justice when she is wronged, ordinary people can't bear it. However, the princesses of the Yonghui Dynasty became more and more delicate, and even the "seeing uncle" in the wedding was exempted.
According to etiquette, on the day of the princess's birth, there are three procedures: welcoming her in person, going to the same prison, and seeing her uncle and aunt. With a wave, I directly waived the item of seeing my uncle on the day of departure. Today's son is getting married, but Gu Pei's mother sits alone in Pei's house, no one pays attention to her when she goes back and forth. She can't even meet the couple, let alone drink the bridal tea served by her daughter-in-law.
Gu Peishi has calculated for half his life, picking up the list of noble daughters in Chang'an Luoyang to choose a wife for Gu Mingke every day, but in the end it ended up in such a situation, how could Gu Peishi not be angry.
Mrs. Pei was so angry when she saw that Mrs. Gu Pei still had that yin and yang look, she couldn't bear it because she had guests outside. Mrs. Pei continued to entertain the guests. She walked through the banquet, and unexpectedly saw Pei Chuyue leaning against the window, pulling the flowers and leaves outside, looking out of her mind.
Mrs. Pei's heart skipped a beat, Pei Chuyue was her own daughter, how could Mrs. Pei not know about Pei Chuyue's little thoughts? But if it's not suitable, it's not suitable. Pei Chuyue?? is the only legitimate daughter of the Pei family, so she must be cautious about her marriage, and Gu Mingke is obviously not a candidate who can bring benefits to the Pei family. Gu Pei's family has been secretly probing for many years, Mrs. Pei has been pretending to be stupid, but unexpectedly, Pei Chuyue has become serious.
Mrs. Pei only treats her as a young Muai, and when she grows up, she will naturally fade away. Unexpectedly, Pei Chuyue got deeper and deeper. Gu Mingke obviously had no intentions for her, but she couldn't forget it. She even got seriously ill because of it, and was depressed for a year. Today is Gu Mingke's wedding banquet, but Pei Chuyue looks devastated, why
Mrs. Pei looked furious, she secretly asked the maid to call Pei Chuyue over, and scolded: "Today is the day when your cousin gets married, what is Princess Shang? In front of you, what are you doing with a sad face?"
When Pei Chuyue heard the words "Princess Shang", her heart ached. She lowered her cheeks and said in a low voice, "I didn't."
Mrs. Pei looked at her and really didn't want to get angry on the big day, so she said: "You are clumsy, don't get in the way here, go and have a look at the back? Your brother. Neither of you will let Don't worry, you don't come out to greet guests on a good day, you hide in your own yard, and you don't know what to do... "
Mrs. Pei's last sentence was scolding Pei Ji'an. It is a grand event for the whole country when the princess comes out and surrenders with the prince. Many guests came to the Pei family today, and the young guests should be entertained by Pei Ji'an, a lord, but Pei Ji'an hid in his yard and refused to see anyone after closing the door. Mrs. Pei had nothing to do with him, and she was afraid that something might happen, so she simply sent Pei Chuyue to stay with Pei Ji'an.
Pei Ji'an drove everyone out, sealed the doors and windows, locked the door, and locked himself in the room. He didn't want to pay attention to anyone, but the outside refused to spare him, and the sound of festive rituals and music kept drilling into his ears.
Those lively voices were like a sharp knife, stabbing Pei Ji'an's heart every time. Pei Ji'an was numb from the pain, and the scene of his wedding with Li Chaoge could not help appearing in front of his eyes.
The wedding ceremony that day was also very grand, and the candles in Li Chaoge's wedding procession burned all the trees on the road. It is not an exaggeration to say that it was a sensation for a while, with red makeup in ten miles and an empty alleyway for thousands of people. The only imperfection in the wedding is that the son-in-law is indifferent and rarely smiles.
Pei Ji'an felt pain in his heart when he thought of this. The authorities are obsessed, the bystanders are clear, how much does he wish he could go back to his previous life, and tell that reluctant young man Pei Ji'an, cherish the present, this is an opportunity that you will never get back in future generations.
Unfortunately, he can't.
He can't remind himself of the past, and he can't stop Li Chaoge from drifting away in this life. He watched her walk towards others step by step with his own eyes, and finally, she married his cousin.
There was a knock on the door, and then Pei Chuyue's weak voice said, "Brother, are you inside?"
Pei Ji'an calmed down and went to open the door for Pei Chuyue. He can reject other people, but he cannot reject his sister.
The door finally opened, and Pei Ji'an stood upright, not drinking to soothe his sorrows, getting drunk, dreaming of death, or even looking for life as Mrs. Pei had worried about. But he stood there, but he didn't have much? Less living breath.
Pei Chuyue breathed a sigh of relief, and laughed at herself after recovering, how much better is she than her brother
Pei Chuyue asked in a low voice: "Brother, can I come in?"
Pei Ji'an nodded and let Pei Chuyue in. Sitting in the drowsy room, the brother and sister had nothing to say to each other.
There was noise outside one after another, just listening to the sound, one could tell how grand the wedding between Princess Sheng Yuan and Gu Shaoqing was today. Pei Chuyue was quiet for a while, then said in a low voice, "Brother, they are married."
Pei Ji'an nodded slightly, his voice hoarse: "Yes."
Pei Chuyue lowered her head, as if she was talking to herself, and said, "In a few days, I'm going to get engaged too. Auntie has already shown it to me? I've decided on the candidate. Grandma and Father are very satisfied. Waiting for my cousin's After the marriage is over, the Geng Tie will be changed."
Pei Ji'an couldn't even handle his own feelings well, but he still wanted to comfort Pei Chuyue: "Ah Yue, this is a good thing. Your parents will never harm you. Your life is still long, and you will meet many people in the future? Many people, slowly Yes, you'll forget about the present."
Pei Chuyue didn't look up, tears fell on the dark desk: "But those people are not him. I will never meet someone like him again."
Pei Ji'an wanted to refute, but he was speechless. Yes, life has to go on, and their brothers and sisters will probably have their own families in the future, entangled in the chores of children, wives and concubines, slowly smoothing the edges and corners, and becoming vulgar people like many? many? people in the world. There is no youth in life, and they will never meet the shocker who lit up their entire years when they were young.
Pei Ji'an suddenly felt a headache, as if something was struggling violently in his mind. That force clamored to come out, but was trapped by a shackle. Pei Ji'an vaguely realized that as long as he broke through this shackle, his pain and confusion during this period would have a result.
But that shackle is very stubborn, like the golden body of Dharma, indestructible. Pei Ji'an suddenly stood up, ignoring the pain in his head, and ran out like crazy. Pei Chuyue and the servants' voices came from behind, but Pei Ji ignored it, and only had one thought in his mind.
His life shouldn't be like this. He didn't want to lose his love in a daze, and finally marry someone else under the arrangement of his family, and spend his life in a daze. He didn't want to become the mediocre person he didn't like the most, with a big belly, slick and sophisticated, pushing cups and cups, and having wives and concubines in groups. In my spare time, I complained to my colleagues about my son's incompetence, and commented on which house in Pingkang Fang had a new prostitute. Apart from that, there was nothing else in my life.
He wants to see her again.

Princess Sheng Yuan's mansion.
Qingjiaqi Road, purple torch and red wheel, the wedding procession walked through the main street, circled the city and returned to the Princess Mansion. Fortunately, no one dared to stop the royal wedding procession, and Li Chaoge's name as the commander of the demon commander was loud enough. No one blocked the car along the way, and Li Chaoge arrived at the princess mansion smoothly to carry out the second half of the wedding ceremony.
Li Chaoge got off the car and stepped on the red felt. She was still surrounded by court ladies with palace fans, and the team stopped in front of the green cottage with great momentum. There were already many people watching the ceremony in the princess mansion, and Li Chaoge didn't know who these people were around. Like a marionette, she saluted according to the guidance of the female official.
She was holding a round fan in her hand, which was just covering her face. She bowed down, and there seemed to be someone moving on the other side, and bursts of laughter came from around.
Li Chaoge knew that the person opposite was Gu Mingke.
There were figures all around, Li Chaoge bowed his head before he could see the people on the opposite side clearly. The ring pendants on her clothes collided with each other, making a tinkling sound. There was a lot of voices around, the collision sound was not noticeable at all, but Gu Mingke heard it.
He saw the dark blue wide-sleeved shirt behind the round fan, with the sleeves straight on the side, looking solemn and enthusiastic. She was holding a round fan in her hand, surrounded by many court ladies, Gu Mingke couldn't see her face, but could see the golden hairpins on both sides of her bun shaking slightly. The tin hairpin is engraved with twining flowers, and the stamens are clear rubies, like stars descending on her temples, bright in color and shining brightly.
Gu Mingke heard the female officer's urging voice, Gu Mingke came back to his senses, and bowed down according to the etiquette. After the husband and wife worshiped each other, Li Chaoge was escorted by the maids and sent to Qinglu, where he sat on the mat. After tossing and tossing all day, now that the wedding has finally entered the busiest time, the surrounding boos are louder than loud. Gu Mingke secretly sighed, thinking that it is indeed very troublesome for ordinary people to get married. From the evening to the present, from the palace to the princess mansion, in fact, he has not seen Li Chaoge's true face.
If you want to meet people, you need to recite Que Fan's poems.
Gu Mingke was moved with emotion, and he came with a feeling, and said: "In the past, when I went to Yujing for a tour, the first immortal Xu Zhuangtou. Today I am fortunate to be the Qin Jinhui, and I taught Luanfeng how to go to the make-up building early."
Li Chaoge's heart moved slightly, the female officer was going to make things difficult, Li Chaoge raised his eyes and glanced at her lightly. The female officer swallowed the words on her lips, and changed her words abruptly: "The son-in-law is sincere, even Yue Lao must be touched by the son-in-law's heart. Courtesy, go slap."
Gu Mingke thought that if it was not over, he really wanted to talk to Yuelao. If Yue Lao knew what happened today in the sky, it would be difficult not to be moved by Gu Mingke's heart.
The court ladies who were clinging to the round fan retreated layer by layer, revealing the innermost Li Chaoge. Li Chaoge was wearing a green dress, with a yellow gauze on his arms, and red flower tints on his forehead, sitting under the light and smiling slightly. The bride is bright and beautiful, radiant and radiant, like a deer facing the court for a moment, illuminating the whole Qinglu.
Gu Mingke was a little dizzy. At this time, there was the sound of crackling and spreading the tent. Xi Niang held the money and fruit, and threw it to the roof of the hut, and it fell like a goddess scattered flowers: "Tonight is auspicious, Princess Sheng Yuan and the son-in-law captain After Gu Mingke gets married and fulfills his vows, he will live forever and preserve Jichang."
The candle flame was disturbed by the falling fruit, and the fire core jumped up and down. The two of them sat and stood, surrounded by falling happy fruits, and there was an unspeakable sense of grandeur.
A copper coin fell on Gu Mingke, but he didn't dodge it. At this time, the guests watching the ceremony finally came to their senses and applauded.
Today, they are all marveling at the beauty of the groom. Gu Mingke's face was more jade-like, his starry eyes were lacquered, and he stood in the lights wearing a crimson robe, like a fairy. Everyone was shocked. With such an outstanding appearance and such a calm demeanor, he really deserves to be chosen as the captain's son-in-law.
Waiting to slap back, they saw the real face of another protagonist, and were captured by Li Chaoge's appearance for a moment, and they were speechless. Copper coins, jujubes, longan and other objects fell from the sky, and when they fell down, they wished the couple a blessing, and also woke up a group of young men who were in a daze.
They reacted, quite a bit? It's not a taste. There seems to be nothing to say about the talent and beauty of a man and a woman. Standing together, such a pair of Bi people can't even feel jealous.
Li Chaoge endured waves of scatter attacks from the sky, and after the tent was spread, she and Gu Mingke moved to another tent and sat opposite each other on both sides of the long table. The court lady knelt and sat beside the case, guiding Gu Mingke and Li Chaoge to eat three mouthfuls of the same prison meal, and then filled a gourd that had been cut in two with wine, and handed them to Gu Mingke and Li Chaoge respectively. The gourds were connected by a red thread. Li Chaoge covered his face with his sleeves and tilted his head slightly to drink.
She felt the red thread on the gourd tighten, and guessed that Gu Mingke was also drinking at the other end. Li Chaoge looked down at the slightly trembling red thread, and suddenly his heart was touched.
Today's ceremony was very lively, with cheerful music and numerous guests. But there are so many people standing around, but it has nothing to do with the two of them.
Most of the guests who came to the princess mansion were from the royal family of the Li family, and there were many unfamiliar faces among them. These people are relatives of Li Chaoge in name, but in fact they haven't spoken a few words at all, and they are not much better than strangers. For Gu Mingke, it was even more unfamiliar. The audience was full of guests, but none of them were Gu Mingke's real relatives.
Only at this moment, when Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke drank the same cup of wine together, she finally felt that this was her wedding.
After the marriage ceremony, the wedding is considered a real success. The female officials and bridesmaids gathered around, constantly reciting some auspicious poems, and some narrow-minded guests refused to leave, and still surrounded the green cottage to make noise. Li Chaoge gradually felt awkward being watched by so many people.
Everyone knows what happens after the wedding.
Pei Ji'an rushed to the stables, hurriedly led a horse, and rushed out of Pei's house with lightning speed all the way, regardless of the obstruction of his servants. He let go of his speed on the road and went straight to Chengfufang.
The wind passed by Pei Ji'an's face, and the hustle and bustle on the side of the road seemed to disappear in an instant. Pei Ji'an himself thinks that he is crazy. Today is the wedding ceremony of Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke. As long as he is a little rational, he knows that he should not run over to disturb him. But Pei Ji'an couldn't control it, his brain was in a tearing pain, and his only remaining thought was to see Li Chaoge.
Although he didn't know, even if he really saw Li Chaoge, what could he say and do. Princess Sheng Yuan's Mansion is located in the busiest section of the road, and soon, Pei Ji'an will arrive. He almost fell off the horse, and before he could even tie the rein, he quickly ran towards the princess mansion.
Chang Shi was welcoming the guests at the door, when he suddenly saw a horse rushing towards him, before he could see who it was, the other party ran towards the mansion without looking back. Chang Shi was stunned, and hurriedly shouted: "Who is this? The princess and the consort are getting married today, don't make trouble!"
The Princess Mansion is full of guests today, and the maids are so busy that they circle around, no one notices Pei Ji'an at all. Pei Ji Anshun ran to the Qinglu where he was saluting. He stopped outside the tent, only one step away from Li Chaoge, and suddenly hesitated.
I didn't know what was going on inside, and it was very noisy. He ran here like crazy enough to mess around, is he really going to go in and see her marrying someone else with his own eyes
The pain in Pei Ji'an's head has become intermittent, like a hammer, almost numb. Pei Ji'an put his hands on the tent, his fingers tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened, he really didn't know what to do.
At this time, there was a sound of thump, thump, thump, and the footsteps were very urgent. Pei Ji'an turned his head and saw a servant running towards Qinglu, he almost tripped because he was too flustered: "Princess Sheng Yuan, the palace is calling urgently."
Pei Ji'an was surprised, he was about to ask what's the matter, when the curtain beside him was suddenly lifted. Li Chaoge didn't expect that there were people outside, so he was startled. Pei Ji'an did not expect to see Li Chaoge so abruptly, and the distance between the two was so close.
However, before Pei Ji'an could think about it, Li Chaoge was already vigilant and mercilessly pulled away. At this time, Gu Mingke also followed from behind. Pei Ji'an saw that Gu Mingke stopped beside Li Chaoge, glanced at Pei Ji'an lightly, and said to the servant in a familiar and comfortable manner: "Eunuch is polite. I don't know what happened in the palace?"
"The sage suddenly fainted. The situation is not good. The Queen of Heaven hastily summoned Princess Sheng Yuan, the Crown Prince, and Princess Guangning into the palace."
