Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 202 Flowers pave the way, gold is the car

Nanny Sun and Mingyu supported Zhao Xiwei, Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Qiao were busy opening the curtain, and a few ladies followed behind, all the way to the main courtyard.

The old lady had already dressed neatly, and brought the three ladies from the mansion to stand in the yard waiting for a long time.

When he raised his eyes, he saw Zhao Xiwei coming from the other side with support from the left and right.

She was dressed in a blue Zhai dress with lifelike patterns of phoenix birds embroidered on the sleeves. She wore a golden corolla on her head, which shone dazzlingly in the sun. The pearls hanging from the corolla shook with each step, making her look more dignified and solemn.

The corners of the old lady's mouth curled up slightly, her face was full of relief.

Everyone stood in the courtyard in order of rank, and no one dared to speak any more. They just waited with bated breath for the arrival of the wedding ceremony.

According to the etiquette system, Zhao Xiwei stood on the south side of the main courtyard, and Sun Nanny and Mingyu were the teaching female officers on the left and right.

The loud drumming stopped suddenly.

He Kui, who was wearing court uniform, came in through the gate respectfully, followed by dozens of well-dressed Eastern Palace officials.

Mrs. Zhao hurriedly led the relatives of the Zhao family to greet her.

After some salutations, He Kui cleared his throat and began to read out his speech.

The old lady led the family members of the family to bow down and worship.

"At the beginning of the ceremony, a good relationship is established. Poems sing about Guanju, and songs about Linzhi. May we respect each other as guests, Ding Ke will prosper in the future, and we will always enjoy the joy of fish and water, and the oath of mandarin ducks..."

Zhao Xiwei knelt on the ground, remembering the scene of entering the palace for the first time.

The feeling of being on the verge of a formidable enemy hit her head and brain, and immediately made every pore of her body tense.

I also remembered the scene when I met Li Xuanye for the first time. It was at the back mountain of Lianhua Temple. He flew out with an arrow. .

It was very easy to finish reading the emperor's congratulations, followed by the congratulations of the officials.

Zhao Xiwei heard familiar names, such as Lord Qiao of Honglu Temple, Lord Cui of Jingzhaoyin, Marquis of Dingyuan, Marquis of Pingyuan, and King Jiangxia...

There are more princes and ministers who are not familiar with the Sangong and Jiuqing.

Zhao Xiwei listened to the congratulatory speeches one after another, and suddenly noticed a detail that he hadn't noticed before.

Most of those congratulatory speeches are brilliant and sincere, and most of them are veterans with high status in the court.

Zhao Ziyi was considered a newcomer, and he was physically and mentally exhausted due to the serious injury, so these old officials, of course, did not come here to make friends with the Zhao family, but to support the prince.

And these veterans are either very prestigious in the court, or have a deep foundation, or have a special status.

From this point alone, it can be seen that Li Xuanye's strength cannot be underestimated.

It's just that the performance of the generals was very flat, and the congratulatory speeches were also very casual, as if they were just to deal with things.

Obviously, these people are not loyal to the prince.

If such an important power is not in the hands of the prince, it is undoubtedly in the hands of the queen mother.

Reminiscent of that time at Lianhua Temple, Li Xuanye took the opportunity to take away Wang Fan and others' positions.

After a little deduction, Zhao Xiwei came to a conclusion: Although Li Xuanye had the support of everyone, the Queen Mother was not so easy to shake.

He still has a long way to go if he wants to fully grasp the power of the government.

After the long congratulations, Zhao Xiwei knelt until his knees felt a little numb before he heard He Kui say, "Please get up."

The drumming sounded again, and the crown prince Zuo Shuzi, who was wearing a red court dress, came out and said loudly: "Please take your seat."

Everyone hurriedly stood in their positions according to their ranks, quietly waiting for the prince's guard of honor to arrive.

Che Yu slowly stopped in front of the door, and Yuan Ce led the guards of the East Palace to stand in two rows.

The crown prince Zuo Shuzi knelt down at the door, fell on the ground and asked respectfully and solemnly: "What is your Highness doing here?"

A voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty ordered me to marry you, please accept my order."

Majestic and clear, neither fast nor slow, without the coldness of the past, a little more gentle, even revealing a rare gentleness.

For some reason, Zhao Xiwei's uneasy heart suddenly calmed down following this voice.

The crown prince Zuo Shuzi prostrated himself on the ground again, then got up and said, "Your Highness, please wait a moment."

The old lady came to the right side of the gate, knelt down at the position opposite to Zuo Shuzi, and said respectfully: "Everything has been properly arranged in the Zhao residence."

"Exemption."

The old lady got up and said: "Respectfully invite the prince to enter."

The red silk is rolled up in the wind, and the music of drums is endless.

The sunset rose quietly, dyeing the sky of Chang'an red like brocade.

In such a brilliant and splendid glow, Prince Li Xuanye came slowly from the main entrance.

He wears a beaded crown on his head and a nine-zhang gown. His figure is as tall and straight as a pine and cypress, and his bearing is as upright as the sun and the moon.

His appearance was upright and solemn, the pendant beads on the crown did not move at all, as if the cold wind and sunlight had obediently surrendered to him, and he dared not make any mistakes.

Zhao Xiwei stood on the stone steps under the corridor, watching him coming towards him against the clouds and clouds all over the sky.

Feng Lilang shouted: "Play the geese laying ceremony!"

Zuo Shuzi came out holding the wild goose that represented loyalty, Li Xuanye's expression was still so calm and solemn, as if this was not just a wedding ceremony, but a promise to the world as the crown prince of a country.

The sound of the drum music suddenly became solemn, Zuo Shuzi respectfully knelt down in front of Li Xuanye, and offered the wild goose.

After kneeling and worshiping etiquette, the inner stable captain who was in charge of the East Palace's chariot came in.

Feng Lilang announced loudly: "Prince Princess please!"

With this chanting, the ceremonies and music suddenly turned into joy and joy, and the crowd who had been silent all around became noisy, and all their eyes were on Zhao Xiwei.

These gazes include envy, amazement, curiosity, exploration and hostility.

There are overwhelming petals falling down, the pink and pink are intertwined, bright and charming, even more eye-catching than the sunset glow in the sky.

It is a rose flower.

There was a faint fragrance of flowers in the air, and even the powerful drumbeat seemed to become much gentler at this moment.

Rose is the flower of early spring. It is born in the mountains and blooms in the east wind. It is both delicate and flexible.

There is nothing lacking in the palace, and it is not difficult to cultivate thousands of roses in this cold winter.

What is difficult is the thought of icing on the cake.

The petals fell one after another, extending from the corridor of the main house to the outside of the mansion, paving a flowery avenue.

At the end of this blossoming brocade, there are dozens of court ladies, divided into two rows, each holding a vase inlaid with gold and silver in their hands, and sprinkled water with rose dew along the way.

After the maids who sprinkled water to purify the street completed the ceremony, they stood on both sides of the road holding the vase.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of court ladies appeared, all of them holding a one-foot-tall red Luopinjin fan, and they came slowly from the end of the street.

In the middle of them is a golden sedan chair.

This bridal sedan chair is made of pure gold, the top cover is decorated with green peacock feathers, the four sides are made of pearls and jade as curtains, and even the veils on the windows are woven with gold and silver threads.

The ladies and ladies watching the ceremony couldn't help but gasped in a low voice.

"It's so grand, this specification is almost comparable to the wedding of a princess."

"That's right, gold paves the way for cars and flowers, even a princess can't do it."

I don't know who sighed: "Miss Zhao San is really lucky."
