The eighth day of the fifth lunar month is suitable for: weddings and funerals, getting married, breaking ground, laying beams, and taboo: consecration, seeking medical treatment, and treatment.
On this day, the whole city of Chang'an was very lively. People came from their homes to the streets, singing, dancing, drinking and chatting. Merchants took advantage of this time to put out their goods for sale along the street, and business was very booming.
Compared with the joy and laughter in other places, Chang'an Avenue seemed a bit solemn. Teams of guards lined up on both sides of Chang'an Avenue and stood quietly to prevent young people from intruding on the road. People could only come from both sides. Go, Chang'an Avenue is under complete martial law.
But even so, people were surrounded on both sides, each with their heads tilted to look towards the street.
Today is a grand day. It is the wedding day of Luo Zhang, the number one civil and military scholar of the Tang Dynasty, and Princess Gaoyang of the Tang Dynasty. Everyone knows that Princess Gaoyang is the apple of His Majesty's eye, and Luo Zhang is even more familiar with her. Many of them have just come to Chang'an. People in this city have grown up listening to Luo Zhang's stories. In fact, there are so many of his stories that one never gets tired of hearing them.
It is conceivable that the marriage of these two people will cause a big sensation, and it is not surprising that people in Chang'an City parade.
As for the guards arranging on both sides of Chang'an Avenue, it is naturally for safety reasons. This is arranged by Yu Wenxin, the commander of the City Defense Department. There is no way. Luo Zhang is now a popular figure in front of His Majesty, and he is also a restless master and enemy. All over the place, the assassins who assassinated him are almost as many as His Majesty. Can he not be more concerned? If something happens on the wedding day of Luo Zhang and Princess Gaoyang, he can't afford it. It's better to prepare early. Good.
Not only the men and horses of the City Defense Department, but also the men and horses of the Secret Intelligence Department were sent out by Li Junxian. The purpose was to detect suspicious people. You know, there are still many people who have not been caught so far, including the above. The boss of the three Qilian heroes who escaped after assassinating Luo Zhang for the first time, a strong man in the True Yuan Realm, Hu Luanyao, the envoy of Gaoguli, and her subordinates in the True Yuan Realm. These people are all restless masters, and Luo Zhang has offended them all. Pass them and want to attack Luo Zhang. Today is an excellent opportunity.
Li Junxian understood the importance of Luo Zhang to His Majesty better than Yu Wenxin, so he worked harder to find the whereabouts of these people. Even if he couldn't find them, he still had to alert the snakes so that these people would not dare to show their faces today.
The Royal Palace, Ziyang Palace, Princess Gaoyang's bedroom. Today's Ziyang Palace is decorated with splendor and splendor, and is extremely lively. People are constantly coming in and out, holding various things in their hands, making it look extremely busy.
In the middle of the palace were piles of large wooden boxes covered with red cloth, which looked extremely heavy.
Compared with the busyness of others, Princess Gaoyang, who was in the boudoir deep in the palace, did not take any time off. She got up early to dress up and put on a bright red wedding dress. She, who was already very beautiful, put on her wedding dress. The back of the clothes looks even more radiant, and even the maids who pass by to deliver things will take a few more glances and sigh for the beauty of Princess Gaoyang.
The old nanny standing next to Princess Gaoyang kept telling Princess Gaoyang some things to pay attention to during the wedding. Of course, Princess Gaoyang already knew these things, and they were just routine instructions. She mainly told Princess Gaoyang about the boudoir. The joy, that is, those things on the wedding night. After all, Gao Yang is a young lady, how can he know those things!
But in order to prevent her from not understanding anything on the wedding night and causing discord between the couple, some necessary common sense still had to be taught to her. Gao Yang blushed but had to listen.
Originally, it was Gao Yang's mother who had to do this, but Gao Yang's mother died young, so the old ladies in the palace had to do it for her.
After talking, an older grandma walked in. Her eyes were a little red looking at Gao Yang's appearance, but she held back her tears and did not cry out. Instead, she walked behind Gao Yang. As a result, the grandma beside her The comb that grandma handed over was used to comb Gao Yang's hair.
At the same time, he kept mumbling.
“Comb it all the way to the end;
Second, comb our girl's white hair to the level of her eyebrows;
The girl with three combs has her children and grandchildren all over the place;
The four combs bring you good luck, and you will meet noble people on your way out;
Five combs and five sons came to accept the contract, and there were five silver bamboo shoots in all kinds;
Six combs of relatives and friends came to help celebrate, and the mirror in the boudoir was dyed rouge;
The Seven Sisters of the Seven Combs came down to earth to marry Dong Yong, and the Magpie Bridge elevated each other to make peace;
The Eight Immortals and the Eight Immortals came to congratulate me on my birthday, and the precious duck traveled on the lotus path;
There are all kinds of nine combs and nine sub-links;
After ten combs, the couple will grow old. "
Every time the old nanny said something, Gao Yang's body moved slightly, and her eyes were a little red. She seemed a little excited, but she didn't want to leave.
This is the mood that every woman will have when she gets married, even a princess. From then on, she will leave the palace and become a married woman. The palace has nothing to do with her anymore. Although the Ziyang Palace will be reserved for her, she will not live there in the future. The opportunities here are probably very few.
When the old lady behind him finished speaking, Gao Yang was already in tears.
"Princess, don't cry. I watched you grow up. In this palace, you are the most beautiful. Now that you are marrying a man of your dreams, we should be happy!" The old mama put down the comb and comforted with a smile. Gao Yang said.
"Nanny Huang, please come with me to Luofu." Gao Yang said, holding the hand of the old nanny in front of him. This old nanny was the maid next to her mother. She has been taking care of her since her mother passed away. She said that she It is not too much to be Gao Yang's second mother, so Gao Yang has a very close relationship with her. Now that she is getting married, she will leave Ziyang Palace. Naturally, she hopes that the old nanny can go with her, and does not want her to stay in this palace alone. among.
Aunt Huang shook her head and said: "Old lady, I'm already old, so I won't go out anymore. I've stayed here all my life, and I won't be able to do anything when I go out. I might as well stay here and guard Ziyang Palace for you. You can do it if you have time." You can come here to stay and see your father."
"But..." Gao Yang wanted to say more, but was interrupted by the old mama: "Princess, I know what you are thinking, but mama, I really don't want to go out. I haven't left the palace in more than twenty years. , I prefer staying here than outside, so don’t force me, princess."
Seeing that there was nothing he could do, Gao Yang had no choice but to give up and just said he would come back when he had time, which made the old nanny look happy.
Unlike Gao Yang's place, Luo Zhang's place has already been busy in the past few days, and the people for the wedding day are already waiting outside the gate. When the time comes, Luo Zhang will ride a big horse to the palace to marry Princess Gao Yang. Of course, there are many things that are different from marrying in the open world. He will have to accept Li Shimin's warning when the time comes. After all, she is the daughter of the most noble person in the Tang Dynasty. How can she be married off so easily.
But Luo Zhang didn't care about this at all. Li Shimin married Princess Gaoyang to him in order to trap him. If Li Shimin didn't want to, Luo Zhang would have to marry her. He felt that having a beautiful girl was enough. , too many women are a trouble for him. He does not have the concepts of people here, and he still retains some concepts of future generations in his mind.
At this time, Luo Zhang had already finished dressing up. He was wearing a red robe specially customized for him by his grandma. Sitting in the hall, Luo Zhang looked particularly energetic.
Grandma sat next to him and kept talking about some precautions after entering the palace. Luo Zhang was not cynical this time, but listened patiently. Although he did not want to marry Gao Yang, the deal was done, and he had to marry even if he didn't. If he wants to marry, he must take it seriously. No matter what, they will be husband and wife in the future, and he doesn't want the family to be uneasy in the future. Gao Yang is not an ordinary person who can divorce at will.
After listening to his grandma's advice, Luo Zhang discussed it with Wu Shaobin and Chen Kuifeng. Of course, they were talking about safety issues. His wedding this time will definitely attract a lot of people's attention. It would be a good idea to take action against him. Opportunities, as for who will be hot-headed and take action against him, it is unknown, at least the one who should be on guard should be more convenient.
For example, right now, I see him wearing a wedding robe. In fact, he is wearing a layer of leather armor inside the robe to prevent someone from shooting cold arrows. Even if he is a master of Qi Sense Realm, he is still made of flesh and blood. , a sudden cold arrow can also cause injury and death. With a layer of leather armor, even if it is hit by an arrow, it can resist it and not be too seriously injured. Of course, this is just in case. According to the news from Li Junxian, Chang'an Avenue was under martial law today, and he also sent many people to search to ensure that Paul Zhang was safe.
With so many preparations, Luo Zhang was naturally relieved.
