At this time, Lu Bingzhen's boudoir was in complete chaos. Aunt Feng, who has experienced two dynasties, just wants to say to His Highness the Crown Prince, "Her Highness the Crown Princess has not finished dressing up, and the auspicious time has not yet come. How can Her Highness the Crown Princess leave the palace? No matter how many poems you write to encourage makeup, it will be the same."

"Melting snow, melting snow, hurry up, hurry up, your highness's flower bouquet was accidentally crooked just now, hurry up and draw it again." "Come on, come on, someone, come and sort out this ribbon for me, so that I can free up my hands to draw flowers for your highness." "Dian." "Sister Rongxue, I'll come, I'll come, you go and work on the flowers."

Just after the flowers and ribbons were settled, a maid started shouting again, "Where is His Highness's jade pendant? It was on the table just now. What should I do if I can't find it?"

Aunt Feng looked helplessly at the chaotic scene in front of her. The maids who always served the Crown Princess, except for cutting ice and melting snow, had already gone to the East Palace first. Because according to etiquette, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess can only bring two maids into the palace today.

I thought that a few nuns would be enough to handle the situation today, but the prestigious Crown Prince came to the Lu family in person, even outside the courtyard gate. Everyone was a little panicked, and this led to the current chaos. Fortunately, after hurrying and hurrying, I finally finished all the outfits before the auspicious time.

At the end of this session, everyone in the boudoir even felt sweaty from the work. Even if there were a lot of ice cubes placed in the boudoir, they couldn't feel any coolness at the moment.

"Come, come, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is coming out of the cabinet."

As the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette sang loudly, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, who was wearing a seven-layer Zhai robe, a golden crown of flowers and trees on her head, and holding a dragon and phoenix pattern woven with gold and jade to cover her face, finally walked out slowly with the support of the maid. Stay in Chunwu.

Usually when a young lady comes out of the palace, the elders in the family always give her some advice. It's just that Lu Bingzhen's situation is different. She is the Crown Princess. Naturally, except for Her Majesty, the Queen Mother, the Queen and His Royal Highness, there is no one with a higher status than her. Naturally, no one is qualified to entrust and teach her at the moment.

Instead, everyone in the Lu family wanted to salute her respectfully and then follow her into the palace for the wedding banquet.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stepped forward, took Lu Bingzhen from the hands of the maids and nuns, and helped her all the way to Yan Zhai's car.

As soon as he got in the car, Lu Bingzhen noticed wisps of cold air coming from the four walls of Yan Zhai's car, and it seemed that there were ice cubes placed in it. Lu Bingzhen couldn't help but admire the intentions of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, but what she didn't know was that these were the orders of His Highness the Crown Prince.

The round fan did not really block Lu Bingzhen's sight. She looked around and found that there were red mattresses and cushions everywhere in the car, and seven phoenixes were decorated on the horizontal shafts. This was a ritual system second only to the empress. The interior decoration of Yan Zhai's car is also extremely luxurious. There are even incense burners, incense treasures, incense cabinets and other items decorated with chi patterns placed on the table.

The road from Fan Yanglu's house to the imperial city is not very long. After relaxing slightly, Lu Bingzhen placed the fan on the table on one side. During the shaking of the frame, Lu Bingzhen could vaguely see the decorations on the street outside the window and the crowds crowding on both sides of the road.

At this time, Lu Bingzhen discovered that the streets in the entire imperial city were decorated with bright red brocade flowers, and he expected that the same was true in the palace.

When Yan Zhai's car stopped, the curtain was suddenly opened. The handsome face of His Highness the Crown Prince suddenly appeared in front of Lu Bingzhen. Lu Bingzhen had no time to pick up the fan placed aside to cover his face, and was forced to look at His Highness the Crown Prince.

Under this scene today, Lu Bingzhen seemed to have a different mood when he saw His Highness the Crown Prince again. In panic, she could only pick up the fan to cover her face again, but she could not forget the moment when His Highness the Crown Prince opened the curtain.

The sun was behind His Highness the Crown Prince, and His Highness the Crown Prince looked back at her. Lu Bingzhen didn't understand the reason for the confusion and joy that surged from her heart at that moment.

But at the moment, His Majesty, the Queen, and all the civil and military officials of the court and the Chinese government are waiting in the main hall, and they are not allowed to spend time here thinking about why.

Lu Bingzhen, who was supported by His Highness the Crown Prince and walked into the hall together, felt that the Crown Prince's hand was held very tightly. She would raise her head, wanting to see the prince's expression at this time, but she could only regretfully find that the prince had a standard reserved smile on his face, restrained in expressing his joy.

The two people who got married today completed various ceremonies one by one under the guidance of officials from the Ministry of Etiquette. The process was long and tedious. When the official of the Ministry of Rites shouted, "The ceremony is completed!" they both breathed a long sigh of relief, and then asked the emperor and empress to resign.

His Majesty looked at the two people leaving together, there was still a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes. His Majesty initially gave the marriage to these two people, but he wanted to take advantage of the prince's loss of power to drag the Lu family into trouble. After the prince returned from the victory, he wanted to give the prince a few more concubines to distract the Confucian family. of power.

But I didn't expect that neither of these would happen. Now the Fanyang Lu family and the East Palace are closely united because of this marriage. The prince has the support of new courtiers besides the Wen family, and the Fanyang Lu family is betting on His Highness the Crown Prince. Once you reach the throne of Dabao, you can rely on the power of Conglong to be prosperous for another hundred years.

But no matter how unhappy His Majesty is, he still has to do a good job in superficiality. After the ceremony in the main hall was completed, His Majesty left with a cold excuse that he still had government affairs to deal with.

In the East Palace, the ceremony has not yet finished, and His Royal Highness is doing a fan poem. Only when Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess hears a satisfied fan poem will she put down the fan she is using to cover her face, allowing the groom to see her beautiful face today.

After making several fan songs in a year, His Highness the Crown Princess was not satisfied, but Nanny Feng who was waiting on the side clearly felt that Her Highness the Crown Prince was happier. It wasn't until the fifth song that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess finally took off the fan used to cover her face.

The beautiful face on the temples under the fan can finally see the light of day. This time, no less amazing than the glimpse in the car, His Royal Highness was finally able to take a good look at his bride. On weekdays, Lu Bingzhen didn't like to dress up, and His Royal Highness was used to her sober and elegant appearance. Lu Bingzhen, who was dressed up today, gave His Highness the Crown Prince a different kind of stunning feeling.

The picturesque eyebrows and eyes are even more breathtaking when decorated with flowers. The slender eyebrows, bright eyes and white teeth, the pupils are cut like water, and the fairy-like appearance adds a bit of a feeling of peach blossoms and plums from heaven. Although they had just met her not long ago, for some reason, His Highness the Crown Prince felt that Lu Bingzhen's beauty today was even more breathtaking.

Under His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's long gaze, Lu Bingzhen noticed a slight discomfort, and the blush slowly spread from her cheeks to her neck. The crimson color on the snowy skin spread little by little, and His Royal Highness finally left his sight.

Grandma Feng quickly ordered people to spread the tents, tie hair, and also had people bring him wine. The newly married Crown Prince and Crown Princess each held half of the wine and drank the wine from the gourd.

"A Rui, you got up early today. You might as well change out of your Zhai clothes, eat something, sleep for a while, and come back later." Lu Bingzhen nodded, and heard His Highness the Crown Prince say, "Fu Shuang, prepare some for Your Highness the Crown Princess." dessert."

The smiling Eunuch Fushuang appeared in front of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess again, followed by the palace maids and eunuchs who acted in an orderly manner. After offering various snacks, food and toiletries, they calmly withdrew.

Cai Bingrongxue carefully waited on his little lady to take off her Zhai clothes, remove her hairpin ring, and put on her pajamas. Rongxue was careful and always worried whether lying down and resting like this would violate the palace rules, but looking at Nanny Feng's face that remained unchanged and silent from beginning to end, she felt that it shouldn't matter.

How could Grandma Feng really think that this didn't matter? According to the rules of the palace, how could Her Majesty the Crown Princess be so relaxed at this time? It would be even more wishful thinking to rest after having a snack.

Generally speaking, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess would sit on the bed neatly, waiting for Her Royal Highness to come back from the banquet, and wait for His Royal Highness to be settled properly before Her Royal Highness could take off her makeup and change clothes before going to rest.

However, since His Highness the Crown Prince came back from his personal expedition, his temperament has become even more compelling. No one in the East Palace has any room to comment on his orders.

When Grandma Feng saw that His Highness the Crown Prince had already said this, how could she dare to dissuade His Highness the Crown Prince? Nanny Feng comforted herself in her heart. Anyway, only the people in the East Palace knew about this matter, and the East Palace had long been renovated by His Highness the Crown Prince, so no news would spread.

Seeing that the most senior Nanny Feng kept silent, everyone else in the East Palace had no choice but to give up and pretend that they saw nothing and knew nothing.

Lu Bingzhen didn't sleep well at all last night, and he was busy all day today, so he was naturally tired and hungry. His Highness the Prince's instructions were exactly what she wanted. She had no appetite at the moment, so she took a hasty sip of the porridge and then fell asleep.

I don't know how much time passed, but Lu Bingzhen felt as if someone had been watching her. She woke up from her sleep in a daze and saw His Royal Highness, still wearing a standard wedding dress, opening the bed. The curtain beside her looked at her quietly, and she didn't know how long she stared at it.

Lu Bingzhen thought to himself, no wonder I felt light falling on my face just now. It must be because His Highness the Crown Prince opened the curtain. What she didn't know was that just now she was lying among piles of red quilts, with all her hairpins and hairpins gone, her snow-white skin and fair face, and her black hair spread out behind her. This picture was simply unbelievably beautiful like a mortal woman. .

His Royal Highness then deliberately lifted the bed curtain to wake her up, wanting to confirm that the girl he had secretly admired for a long time was still with him.

Seeing her waking up, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled slightly, and his handsome face was even more bewitching under the light of the candles. "I heard Aunt Feng say that you don't need any snacks. Are you hungry? You are awake now anyway, so why not eat a little bit?" Do you want something to sleep with?"

Lu Bingzhen was so sleepy just now that he didn't feel hungry. Now that he had recovered from his sleep for a while, Lu Bingzhen was shocked to realize that he hadn't eaten anything all day long, and he swallowed down the burning discomfort in his heart.

"Then thank you, Your Highness." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded noncommittally, and then a palace maid walked in holding the same food.
