While these people were talking, they didn't stop walking. They all rushed to the gate along with the people watching the ceremony.
At this time, there was already a buzz of people in front of the Yang Mansion, and the high-ranking officials and dignitaries were standing at the door according to their respective ranks, quietly waiting for the new queen of the Jin Dynasty to go out and get on the sedan chair.
Even though Yang Xuanzhi was named Marquis of Xingjin, his status was still lower than that of the Sima royal family.
He stood very politely beside Sima Lun, Sun Xiu, and his father-in-law Sun Qi, with a straight face, pursed lips, and said nothing.
There was some commotion on the street again, and everyone looked over.
Seeing a handsome young man in an apricot yellow robe hurriedly dismounted and walked over. The color of his clothes was consistent with Sima Lun's, and he was obviously a member of the royal family.
"I'm sorry, there was a slight delay due to palace affairs." He apologized to everyone.
Among the people present, Sima Lun had the highest status. He just smiled, took the visitor's hand and said, "It's okay. My nephew came just in time. The memorial service here has just ended and he is about to go out. ”
"I have met the King of Chengdu." Although Sun Xiu and Sun Qi were both very old, they still wanted to salute the young man, and Yang Xuanzhi also bowed immediately.
"Hey, there is no need to be polite. The Yang family is very happy today, and the Marquis of Xingjin does not need to be polite. I would like to express my congratulations to you, and I will have a few more drinks later." Be polite, approachable and easy-going, otherwise everyone will say Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, is a true husband and a rare talent among the Sima royal family.
"Thank you, King Chengdu." Yang Xuanzhi felt even more uncomfortable when he saw such a young man.
What if his daughter is wearing the name of queen? So what about glory and wealth?
"I have prepared a small gift, and the guards will bring it over later... Don't be offended by the Marquis of Xingjin." Sima Ying chuckled lightly, with a bright look between her eyebrows, which made Yang Xuanzhi couldn't help but admire in her heart. : What a great husband.
The people watching the ceremony focused their attention on the King of Chengdu. Who doesn't like this handsome man?
The group of noble ladies quietly moved over again, not caring about the coolness of the cold wind blowing on their faces.
Sun Wan'er whispered: "If we talk about the most handsome man in the Jin Dynasty, he must be the King of Chengdu."
"He hasn't married yet, why don't you try?" Ji Feiyan chuckled.
"Hey, forget it." Sun Waner actually shook her head and just looked at Sima Yingfa in a daze.
While they were being polite, Yang Xianyong came over and whispered to Yang Xuanzhi, "Father, Feng Luan is here."
Everyone turned their heads and looked over, and couldn't help but squint their eyes.
Because this phoenix is extremely dazzling, shining golden light in the sun.
Everyone took a breath, it was indeed too luxurious and exquisite.
As the name suggests, the phoenix is the queen and the luan is the sedan chair. This is the highest standard of the eight-person sedan chair for the Jin Dynasty.
The whole body of the phoenix is covered with a bright red silk curtain, which is embroidered with golden thread patterns of flying phoenixes and blooming flowers of wealth and glory.
The sedan poles are made of ash wood, which is hard, straight and stylish.
In order to show the royal style, Lei Dayong, a famous craftsman in Luoyang City, was specially invited to redesign and make the fengluan, which was imitated by the empress of the previous dynasty. A full ten kilograms of gold foil was added to the sedan roof and poles to show the strong aura. And rich financial resources, royal style is very good.
The interior decoration of Fengluan is even more gorgeous. It is said that just those tassels cost ten thousand gold. They dance lightly in the wind and make a pleasant sound of metal collision.
It seems that even though it is made of silk, it actually has extremely fine gold threads and small bare gold bells, making it even more noble and luxurious.
The royal ceremony officials were already in place, and hundreds of people were playing gongs and drums, making it extremely lively.
The Jin Dynasty still attached great importance to this set of etiquette matters and had a complete process system.
The ceremonial officer is a powerful character, usually a close confidant of the emperor.
The ceremonial officer in front of him was named Zhang Mingdu. He was over fifty years old, but he was a senior figure in the two dynasties. He was now the chief chamberlain of Emperor Sima Zhong.
He was born in the famous Zhang family in Luoyang, and his five brothers were all famous generals, who followed several princes.
Just because he liked reading and writing since he was a child, he was selected to be Sima Zhong's companion.
The late emperor Sima Yan saw that his idiot son got along well with him, so he specially arranged for him to purify himself and enter the inner palace to become the general manager.
Counting it all together now, Zhang Du has been working in the palace for fifty years, and has been by Sima Zhong's side for more than thirty years. He also has a very good sense of royal demeanor.
When many princes saw him, they would either cup their hands or nod in greeting. They were not looking down upon him because he was an eunuch, but respected his knowledge and ability very much.
He did not have any arrogance and did his duty. Even when Empress Jia was in power and disrupted the court, he tried his best to protect the rights and interests of the fool Emperor Sima Zhong without making any concessions, and saved this fool from humiliation.
After all, he is not a fool.
At this time, the first gong and drum music has stopped.
He straightened his body, which was usually slightly stooped, with a solemn expression on his slightly pale face. He stood at the door of the Yang Mansion and sang loudly: "The auspicious time has come, please invite the Yang family of Taishan County." Present your face to Feng Luan!"
The crowd watching the ceremony all turned their heads to look at the gate of Yang Mansion. It was truly the center of attention.
The Yang clan walked to the gate surrounded by Yang Xianrong, who was wearing an extremely elegant and luxurious red phoenix robe.
Yang Xuanzhi took his daughter's hand and stood at the gate for a moment.
At this time, the appearance of the sheep sacrificed was even more gorgeous than when it was offered to the ancestors just now, because it was also equipped with a unique royal robe. In addition to the luxurious and large golden phoenix hairpin, the head was covered with pearl hairpins and green emeralds.
In addition, there are tassels made of pure gold covering the face, which make a tinkling sound with every step.
"Daughter." Yang Xuanzhi's voice was hoarse, and his eyes were full of reluctance.
Yang Xianrong was unable to move at all under the weight of the gold ornaments. He could only walk to the door with the help of the two maids Cui Xi and Lan Xiang beside him.
Upon hearing her father's call, her tears immediately flowed down.
I didn't shed any tears when I said goodbye to my mother, but now I couldn't help crying.
"Don't cry, don't cry. You can't cry on the big day." Yang Xuanzhi was a little flustered. He wanted to wipe away the tears on his daughter's face, but he was afraid of ruining her makeup. "As a father, I can only send you here. It's time to I have also warned you...don't be afraid, our Yang family is upright and not afraid of the shadows. We don't do evil, and we can't let evil people bully us."
Whose daughter would use such farewell words when she got married? Zhang Du, the supervisor of the ceremony, stood aside and couldn't help curling his lips after listening, and then said loudly: "The auspicious time has come, please present your appearance to the Phoenix." Luan!"
For the royal wedding of the Jin Dynasty, even the queen had to enter the palace by herself, and the emperor would not come to receive the bride.
Now it seems that the two princes Sima Lun and Sima Ying came to pick up the bride, which gave the Yang family enough cards and glory.
Even if Yang Xuanzhi had a thousand words and was unwilling in every possible way, he could only ruthlessly send his daughter to Fengluan at this moment. According to the rules, he locked the Fengluan sedan door with a gold lock and handed the golden key to the bride-to-be. In the hands of Sima Ying.
This is also a safety measure to prevent someone from changing the Queen's contract halfway, or fearing that the Queen will be hurt unnecessarily.
After Feng Luan entered the palace, Sima Ying handed over the key to the golden lock to the emperor, who opened it himself to welcome the queen out. This indicated that only the emperor could hold the golden key, symbolizing that only he could "release" the queen and become the mother of the world. , live the life you want and everything you want to have.
When Yang Xuanzhi handed the golden key to Sima Ying, his hand movements paused.
Sima Ying looked at him with a smile on her face and did not rush him.
In the end, the key was handed over to Sima Ying.
After he got the key, he solemnly placed it in the brocade box and raised it above his head to show respect.
Then, he put it into his arms, got on his horse, and went to clear the way as the first officer to welcome the bride.
The Imperial Guards have already maintained order, but now they are just strengthening it.
They also stood on both sides of the road in bright clothes, maintaining order and preventing those who were too fond of watching the excitement from entering the official road paved with loess.
The scene became commotion and the voices became more noisy.
