Chapter 231: The Big Wedding


The wind rises from the east, and the clouds come from the north.

Inside and outside the palace of Jiangning Mansion, there was a hehessonian atmosphere.

The procession to greet relatives has already lined up at the bottom of the Gao's archway in the Xishui market, which is far away from Wananmen, and the crowd is in a trance, looking from afar, it seems that the bees and ants have gathered to surround this small market.

Standing on the outermost side of the procession are two columns of private guards holding flags, and then on the inner side is the Yuefu team dressed in big red robes.

"Look, it's coming!"

I don't know which man's cheerful screams caused a commotion in the crowd.

They looked in the direction of the man who was supposed to have the best eyes in the crowd, and a few horses in red robes and black armor had already turned down the street in the distance.

The heavy horseshoe smashed against the bluestone slab and flashed sparks, and people felt the tremor of the earth and the strong air flow rushing in, and they all looked nervous and avoided it.

Their black armor was very dazzling in the faint morning light, and the long crimson cloak behind them was blown up by the wind, like a few black-red electric lights and fires galloping along the crowd, cold and majestic, without the slightest delay.

Before he could do so, more than a dozen black fat riders rushed over, and the momentum was even more fierce.

They seemed to be dressed the same as those of the previous horses, except that each of them had an extra crimson flag in their hands, and the color of the flag was very bright, and they could vaguely notice the characters such as Li and King Han on it, as well as many fierce bird and beast graphics.

More people were attracted by the deep and resolute gaze wrapped in black armor, they glared angrily ahead, and from time to time with the crowd on both sides of the eye one by one, when people have a brief contact with that look, they will regret to find that the angry eyes are not allowed you to look more, that irresistible force and aura will be soul-stirring, so that the hair on the whole body stands upside down.

Feeling the strong sense of intimidation and coercion, people stopped the original playful expressions on their faces, and instead disguised themselves with a look of submissiveness and fear, hoping that those eyes would leave soon.

"Bend your knees and gaze!"

They slowed their horses, staggered from side to side in the most crowded streets, shouted roughly, and then grabbed their horses' bells between their legs, slammed their whips high, and galloped forward like the wind.

The deep and sonorous command and the sound of the horse's hooves slamming on the ground echoed throughout the street, and when the sound reached the ears, people's legs had subconsciously bent naturally, and the crowd lowered their heads and knelt down without hesitation, and the atmosphere fell silent in an instant.

They seemed to carry out the order as the knights intended, and they were brought into this tense, flustered, and uneasy atmosphere, or rather the inoffensive majesty of the king.

The king's procession came.

At the head of the procession were still a group of knights with various banners, but the horses were noticeably less imposing than the previous ones, and their neat strides and graceful postures were actually more interesting for viewing.

The horses were two tall and sturdy white horses, and the horse's high halter was embedded with a layer of glittering gold armor carved with dragon claw patterns, revealing only the horse's two eyes and mouth, and a small brass bell on each side of the halter.

When the dozens of groups of black horses behind them marched forward together, the crisp and melodious bell sounded very well, noisy but not noisy, and the sound obviously overshadowed the sound of the horses' hooves.

Followed by dozens of long horns, the people holding the horns were all black and broad.

When you want to blow up, stretch out one hand to support the wide horn in front as much as possible, and hold the narrow part of the back with one hand, the earth-shattering sound of the dozens of ringers together is enough to deafen your eardrums, even when the sound stops, your ears will buzz for a long time, and then the sound rises again.

"Ahem, cough, this pomp is really a little unbearable, but then again, since Li Yanyu became the king of the Han Dynasty, I really haven't passed by in front of everyone, but this arrangement is indeed a little unexpected What is this called, return to the hometown in brocade, or cough cough cough As the saying goes, wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night, but it seems that the hometown does not go back.

The point is that those old classmates and old friends didn't see what I look like now, if they see my achievements today, then I have to cough cough cough or let them play games and eat quietly first, I also want to quietly enjoy the pleasure of this kind of fame But this time it seems that there is no one to marry five women, and this time it will be arranged carefully, whispering His Royal Highness is the goddaughter of the current saint, the sister of King Zheng Li Yu, whether I want to or not, I am afraid that I will also be ranked first, That is, the so-called Queen of Han, Xiaoxi ranks second, and she is also the queen, but the two have to distinguish between the names as well, the three people who came down, Jiexin, Xu Jingxiang and Lin Weiliang are all princesses, and they also have their own names, but according to convention, the names of the queen and princess do not need to be mentioned by the Son of Heaven, they are all sealed by their own families" Yan Yu straddled the horse, dressed in a python suit, and also wore a black black veil, with the two long hanging shoulders in his ears swaying, the whole person looked good.

Although he has been working hard recently, he has obviously lost a lot of weight, but in addition to his slightly darker skin, the spirit on his body is full of energy, and the king's bearing on his face has already been forced to hide.

After the group marched to Wananmen, they got off the horse and changed to marching on foot.

In accordance with the many requirements of the royal wedding, the groom and his entourage came straight to the auspicious hall after worshipping the heavens in Wananmen.

Here, after welcoming the worship of hundreds of officials, he also had to pay homage to Li Tang's ancestors and ancestors, and then finally visited the Son of Heaven with the two queens and five concubines.

Yan Yu is physically able to eat, but since he started preparing last night, and after a noon of etiquette, he has already been exhausted by this set of cumbersome etiquette.

After another two hours, the eunuchs and the officials who were in charge of the honor guard to prepare for the wedding were going to celebrate the money, and finally entered the auspicious hall with the concubines, and went to worship Li Jing in the hall three times.

At this time, Li Jing smiled, and did not say much, and only maintained some official words according to the pre-prepared program.

But looking at the whisper behind Yan Yu, he was dressed in joyful clothes, and he felt a little more happy in his heart, rewarded the silver taels, and talked about many things about etiquette with the two queens and five concubines.

After that, he read a scroll handed out by the eunuch beside him and read it again, "Today's Han King's wedding, I am very happy, although I have married two queens at a time, there is no precedent in this dynasty, but it is because of the Han King's outstanding military achievements, there is a great merit in protecting the country, I also approved the Han King to take this as a whole, and serve me well, I heard that you want to build a palace in Chizhou, so that although it is far away from the Beijing Division, it is also a specific manifestation of your diligence."

I also told the Ministry of Internal Affairs that I would like to give you a reward of 100,000 taels of silver, and arrange your mansion to be more spacious."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen, I, Li Yanyu, will be diligent in serving the people, supporting the country and protecting the monarch, and forming a grass title ring to repay Your Majesty's kindness today"
