Chapter 650 The Wedding (Part 2)
Today's Princess of Gaoyang wears a phoenix crown, and the red gauze covering her face is lifted when she is offering sacrifices to heaven and praying to her ancestors, revealing her delicately made-up face. She is less beautiful than before, but a little more graceful, luxurious and magnificent.
Fang Jun was a little surprised. If nothing else, this damn girl could be called a goddess like a fairy...
The ceremony was complicated and solemn, and Fang Jun was so exhausted that even the master of ceremonies, Ma Zhou, shouted hoarsely.
Finally got through the ceremony and was about to leave Tai Chi Palace.
His Majesty Li Er looked at his daughter and son-in-law with a smile, nodded and said warmly: "From now on, you should respect and love each other. Shu'er, you have a stubborn temper. In the future, you must be careful not to act petty from time to time. Since you are married to a human being, A woman should take care of her husband, educate her children, and keep the family upright. If you come to the palace to complain about Fang Jun and ask your father to stand up for you, your father will never care. "
Princess Gaoyang lowered her head, feeling a little sad and a little aggrieved: "Oh..."
Will my father not care about me after I get married?
It’s really annoying to feel abandoned like this...
Fang Jun was secretly happy and secretly praised His Majesty Li Er for being sensible and an enlightened old man.
Unexpectedly, His Majesty Li Er seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and immediately scolded him with a straight face: "Don't be secretly happy, even though you marry into your Fang family, Shu'er will always be my daughter. How dare you give Shu'er Don’t be upset, I want you to look good!”
Fang Jun had no choice but to say with a grimace: "Your Majesty, you are serious, I am a humble minister... I will treat the princess as a jewel, take good care of her, and never let the princess suffer even the slightest grievance."
The words were beautiful, but I sighed in my heart.
It seems that all the father-in-laws in the world are the same. No matter how much they tell their daughters to be obedient and to observe women's behavior when they arrive at their husband's house, when their daughters get angry, they will immediately bring the hairy son-in-law and give him a scolding.
Your Majesty Li Er, who is wise and mighty, is not exempt from vulgarity. I am praising you for nothing...
Ma Zhou looked at the sky from the side and said softly: "The auspicious time has come, please invite the princess and the consort to set off."
His Majesty Li Er then strung a string of red rope around the pearls and wrapped them around the wrists of Fang Jun and Princess Gaoyang. The two ends of the rope were stuffed into their palms. This was a custom in the Tang Dynasty. It means that the newlyweds can stay together and have children early.
His Majesty Li Er said loudly: "A wonderful son and a wonderful son-in-law, a happy marriage for a hundred years!"
Immediately there was an overwhelming cheer in front of the Tai Chi Hall. Giant drums rumbled and horns soared into the sky, and the sound of wedding firecrackers rang out in the square in front of the Tai Chi Hall, deafening and shaking the clouds.
"Princess and consort, a happy marriage for a hundred years!"
Thousands of tigers and warriors shouted in unison, the sound shook the whole world, and the momentum was majestic.
His Majesty Li Er said with a smile: "Fang Jun, from now on, Shu'er will be left to you, and you must treat her well. Well, it's getting late, so let's set off quickly!"
Fang Jun and Princess Gaoyang both knelt down and worshiped His Majesty Li Er, while His Majesty Li Er helped them up with his own hands.
Princess Gaoyang burst into tears. She was not only hesitant about her future married life, but also nostalgic for this palace and house, and even more reluctant to part with His Majesty Li Er. She cried so hard that she was out of breath.
Fang Jun had no choice but to pat her back, lean over and whisper in her ear: "Stop crying, otherwise Your Majesty will be sad too."
Princess Gaoyang stopped crying and said to His Majesty Li Er with tears in her eyes: "Father, take care!"
His Majesty Li Er waved his hand casually and pretended to be angry: "Don't flirt with me in front of me, get out of here!"
Fang Jun then took Princess Gaoyang's hand and turned towards the red wedding sedan in the eighteenth stage.
Amidst the din of drum music, the princess's wedding sedan slowly set off and left the Tai Chi Palace.
His Majesty Li Er put his hands behind his back and looked at the wedding ceremony that was gradually going away with a smile on his face, feeling a little sad in his heart.
Could it be that he is getting old?
His Majesty Li Er, who has married several daughters, feels a little sad in his heart. Usually when his daughter gets married, he doesn’t feel so much emotion and sorrow in his heart...
In a hall of the Tai Chi Palace, the little princess of Jinyang was throwing a white jade tea cup to the ground. Fortunately, the ground was covered with a thick Persian carpet, and the white jade tea cup rolled several times but did not break.
The little princess was furious, and all the maids and maids stayed away. Although His Highness is usually gentle and well-behaved and doesn't get angry easily, but once he gets angry, it will be earth-shattering!
Only King Li Zhi of Jin was advising: "Sizi, I have told you many times that no one else can sit in Sister Seventeen's sedan today, not even you!"
The little princess didn't stop, raised her little foot and kicked Li Zhi's calf hard on the opposite bone, shouting: "Don't listen, don't listen, don't listen!"
Li Zhi grinned in pain: "Sizi, tomorrow Brother Ninth will ask the palace servants to prepare a big sedan for you to sit in, okay?"
"You are lying! You are all liars. Can you get such a big sedan?" Princess Jinyang raised her head, her big eyes sparkling.
Li Zhi felt a pain in his heart. He hated to see his sisters cry the most. But although he wanted to say something as bold as "Brother Ninth will get you whatever you want," he was much more sensible after all. A sedan like Sister Seventeen Can I sit wherever I want?
Even Sister Seventeen can probably only sit once in her life!
According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, only the bride can sit on the eighteen-stage sedan chair when she gets married. A princess gets a wedding sedan chair and rides on it in the Tai Chi Palace...
How will this spread?
The royal family has lost all face!
Li Zhi had a grimace on his face and didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only say: "Sizi, please stop making trouble, okay? Sister Seventeen can only ride in such a big sedan once when she gets married..."
Princess Jinyang snorted and said crisply: "Then it's okay for me and Seventeenth Sister to marry my brother-in-law together?"
Jin Wang Li Zhi, who was trying to please his little sister by serving tea, almost fell to the ground when he heard this.
This girl has said this twice. Do you know that it is embarrassing to say this?
Jin Wang Li Zhi had a dark look on his face and was speechless.
*****
A huge wedding procession composed of thousands of people, majestic and jubilant, walked out of the palace amidst the thunderous music and cheers. Beside the Suzaku Avenue, which was more than 30 feet wide, the onlookers of Chang'an were rubbing shoulders to watch this event. A grand and luxurious wedding.
As soon as the wedding team walked out of Tai Chi Palace, they were greeted by a burst of cheers like a roaring sea and a roaring mountain.
Chang'an is the center of the empire. It not only brings together wealthy merchants and officials from all over the world, but also weird people from the Western Regions and Southeast Asia. It can be called the center of the world and the most majestic city in the world!
The city has a permanent population of one million and a circulating population of 200,000. For this wedding, the imperial court ordered all businesses in the city to close today and officials to take a break to attend the ceremony. In order to maintain public order in the city today, the imperial court mobilized thousands of manpower.
The wedding procession was guarded by the Habayashi Army and Kingo Guards at the front and rear. On the outside of the Habayashi Army, there were a large number of palace maids and servants carrying huge amounts of cakes, fruits, copper coins and other items. Throwing gifts to the crowd.
From the moment they walked out of the Zhuque Gate of the palace, these small gifts were showered on the citizens of Chang'an like raindrops without stopping. This expenditure alone cannot be described as a luxury.
This expenditure is entirely borne by Fang Jun.
Seems like an incredible waste of money, right?
In fact, in the procession that followed, the emperor gave the princess dozens of carts of wealth as a dowry!
At this time, the Tang treasury was not rich, and His Majesty Li Er only used his own internal funds for this dowry. His Majesty Li Er has always lived a very frugal life. As an emperor, he is not keen on luxury and enjoyment, but he is not stingy when it comes to the marriage of Princess Gaoyang. He wishes he could give all the wealth in the world to his daughter.
One is his true love for Princess Gaoyang, and the other is his respect for Fang Xuanling and his son.
Fang Xuanling served in the central government for more than ten years and worked conscientiously and self-denially to serve the public. Fang Xuanling had a great contribution to the reason why the Tang Dynasty was now stable and all industries were revitalized. And Fang Jun is like a rising star, gradually releasing dazzling brilliance.
The two fathers and sons of the Fang family will be the same pillars and mainstays of the empire!
His Majesty Li Er naturally wanted to show his attitude and use this huge wedding that shocked everyone's attention to tell the world his affirmation of Fang and his son.
Now, the dowry carried by the large group of people in red clothes and footwear following the bride and groom's wedding carriage is enough for the princess and the consort to spend a lifetime.
Since I feel good, I don’t need to ask for votes. I’m going to ask a few votes today. Can you guys give me some face?
