On the long street, red lanterns were hung on the treetops, and every mansion on both sides of the street was hung with red lanterns.
The entire long street is inhabited by the royal family surnamed Li, and they are all relatives of today's groom.
The sound of gongs and drums instantly sounded outside the square door, followed by pieces of firecrackers being thrown into the brazier, making a crackling sound.
The sound of the suona brings great joy.
Under the square gate, Li Xuan, riding on a tall horse, appeared in front of everyone. Suddenly, countless men and women appeared on both sides of the long street.
The palace servants on both sides held wooden baskets wrapped with red silk, and then scattered the coins in the baskets into the crowd, and bursts of cheers came from the crowd.
Although Li Xuan was restraining his joy on his face, all the joy in his heart was already visible in the corners of his eyes.
But even so, Li Xuan's eyes were still sharply scanning the crowds on both sides of the long street.
Many of them are the informants of the Nanchang Palace, and many are people from the imperial court. Of course, the secret hands of the Turks are also indispensable.
Li Xuan has no control over other places outside, but in Kaihuafang, Li Xuan will not allow anyone to cause trouble here.
Riding a white horse, Li Xuan stopped in front of the door of Prince Peng's Mansion. Taking a breath, Li Xuan turned over and dismounted, then walked towards the door.
At the door of Prince Peng's Mansion, the crackling sound of firecrackers was still ringing.
At this moment, Prince Huo's eldest son Li Xu, his successor Prince Zheng Li Jing, and a group of other clan members were all blocking the door. They looked at Li Xuan with smiles and seemed to have no intention of getting out of the way.
Li Xuan stopped, looked at everyone with a wry smile, cupped his hands and said, "Brothers, kings, brothers, please give in."
Li Xu glanced at the sedan chair following him, looked at Li Xuan with a smile and said, "Brothers, you are not short of the two wedding coins, but I heard that you wrote a poem at the Lecheng County Government House, which is quite good. , so, if you think about it as brothers, let’s play a song.”
"Yes, come on, come on!" Li Jing, Li Ne and others immediately started cheering.
What could Li Xuan say? He really didn't expect that the poem written by his Liu family would have reached his home in the blink of an eye.
Facing Li Xu and others, Li Xuan slightly cupped his hands and said with a wry smile: "Please let me think about it, stupid brother."
Li Xu waved his hand directly, and everyone at the door suddenly became quiet.
Li Xuan took a breath, and while thinking, she felt the eyes behind her falling on her, and smiled softly.
Turning around, there was a red light hanging high under the gate in front, and the moonlight shone on the entire courtyard, arousing a sense of urgency, and Li Xuan's heart moved.
"A spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold. The flowers are fragrant and the moon is cloudy. The singing pipes are singing softly on the balcony, and the night is deep in the swing courtyard."
Li Xuan raised her hands to Li Xu and others and said, "Brothers and brothers, it's getting late."
"Haha, indeed, a spring night is worth a thousand gold. Twenty-seven men, please!" Li Xu laughed and got out of the way, but kept thinking about the sentence "A spring night is worth a thousand gold." Compared with what the Prime Minister did The sentence "I only envy mandarin ducks but not immortals" is absolutely correct.
Li Xuan reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and then stepped into the palace courtyard under the gaze of everyone.
The sedan chair behind him followed Li Xuan all the way to the heaven and earth table in the main courtyard.
The two blessed members of the Liu and Li families came forward to offer incense in front of the gods at the heaven and earth table.
The eldest princess of Huainan, who was standing aside, picked up the saddle that had been enshrined on the table and handed it to Xi Guan on the side.
The bridegroom immediately placed the saddle in front of the sedan chair and placed it on the ground.
Immediately, someone else placed a brazier in front of the saddle, and the red felt was placed next to Li Xuan.
Uncle Ouyang Tong thrust a long bow into Li Xuan's hand, smiled and then stepped away.
Archery ceremony: one arrow shoots into the sky, a good match will be granted by heaven; two arrows shoot into the earth, the earth will last forever; three arrows shoot far away, and the world will be determined.
A sharp long arrow shot out from Li Xuan's hand, and in the blink of an eye it had brushed against the upper door rail of the sedan chair and shot directly into the sky.
A long arrow landed directly on the ground in front of the sedan chair, piercing into the hard soil.
The remaining arrow feathers were shaking on the ground.
The last arrow, without anyone seeing it, had already hit the wall opposite Prince Peng's Mansion with a whistling sound.
"Okay!" Loud cheers resounded throughout the courtyard. Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and handed the long bow back to his uncle Ouyang Tong's hand.
When the cheers died down, a serious voice sounded throughout the courtyard: "The bride gets off the sedan."
Chen Guang, the Guanglu doctor, was the one who announced the marriage in the first place. Later, he was directly used as a matchmaker by Han Wang Li Yuanjia and Ouyang Tongla.
The red sedan curtain was lifted, and cousin Zhao Huan took the makeup box from the heaven and earth table, touched up the bride's makeup slightly, and then helped her carefully get out of the sedan.
The bride is dressed in a luxurious blue Zhai dress, with a nine-pin gold crown on her head, and delicate face makeup. She holds a peach branch fan in her hand, covering her face, and steps steadily across the saddle. The brazier stepped on the red felt and walked step by step to Li Xuan's side.
Li Xuan turned her head slightly, and Liu Jinyu also turned her head to look at him at this time.
There was a trace of uneasiness hidden in the bright eyes.
The two eyes looked at each other, Li Xuan nodded, his eyes were full of comfort, and Liu Jinyu's expression suddenly relaxed a lot.
A piece of wedding silk was stuffed into Li Xuan's hand, and the other end was in Liu Jinyu's hand, and the two of them held it tightly.
At this moment, Dr. Guanglu Chen Guang walked up to Li Xuan, then solemnly faced the heaven and earth table and shouted loudly: "Bridegroom, bride, bow to heaven and earth, kneel down!"
Li Xuan and Liu Jinyu both knelt forward and kowtowed once, then again, and three times.
"Get up!" Dr. Guanglu Chen Guang's voice fell, and Li Xuan and Liu Jinyu stood up at the same time.
The heaven and earth table was moved to one side, and Dr. Guanglu Chen Guang followed and shouted: "Enter the hall."
Li Xuan and Liu Jinyu walked forward side by side and walked into the main hall.
The mother-in-law Ouyang sits on the left, with a Ruyi on the right, and Han Wang Li Yuan stands on one side.
"Second obeisance to the high hall, kneel down!"
"Mom!" Li Xuan and Liu Jinyu knelt down at the same time again, and then kowtowed three times directly to their mother, Concubine Ouyang.
"Husband and wife bow to each other and kneel down!"
Under the gaze of countless relatives and friends, Li Xuan and Liu Jinyu stood opposite each other, looked at each other, and then knelt down directly.
Kowtow once, kowtow again, and kowtow three times.
Support each other, understand each other, and tolerate each other.
"But fan."
The peach branch fan that Liu Jinyu was holding tightly was put down in an instant, and a beautiful and dignified face suddenly appeared in front of people.
"Get up, it's a ceremony!" Dr. Guanglu Chen Guang smiled as he watched the newlyweds stand up.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound at the door.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" A high-pitched voice rang directly over the entire Prince Peng's Mansion.
Everyone inside and outside stood up at this time.
Then he saw Li Xian, wearing a bright yellow Nine Python Nine Chapters uniform, walking in from outside surrounded by a crowd.
Li Xuan knew two people who were following him, one was Ming Chongyan, the doctor of Zuo Sijian, and the other was Gao Qi, the prince Dianshan Cheng.
Li Xuan took a step forward, bowed and said, "Greetings to His Highness, Your Highness. May you be safe forever."
Immediately, everyone in Prince Peng's palace shouted in unison: "Greetings to His Highness, Your Highness, may you be safe forever."
"My lords, please stand up." Li Xian raised his hand slightly, and everyone present stood up at the same time.
Li Xian looked at the crowd and said, "I am here today to congratulate Uncle Wang Nanchang on his wedding on behalf of his father and mother."
Li Xian looked to his side, and the chamberlain on the side immediately stepped forward and opened an imperial edict in his hand: "By order of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, hereby is Li Xuan, the prince of Nanchang County, who is diligent in royal affairs, stabilizes the situation and the people, and is the prince of Dechang County. Mrs. Liu is gentle and virtuous, with both ability and political integrity. Today she is bestowed with eleven gold coins, two pairs of Ruyi jade, a gold necklace, three gold hairpins of each size, three pairs of gold earrings, two pairs of gold bracelets, and one hundred gold and silver buttons. , ten horses, eighteen jars of fine wine..."
Li Xuan immediately stepped forward and faced Li Xian and Nei
The attendant bowed slightly, then took Liu Jinyu and looked north at the palace, kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times: "Your Majesty, Li Xuan, and my concubine, Liu Jinyu, thank you for your grace. Long live your Majesty. Long live your Majesty."
After the ceremony, Li Xuan stood up.
Li Xian waved his hand towards the back, and a dozen servants carried gift boxes to the inner courtyard.
"Your Highness!" Li Xuan walked up to Li Xian and thanked him.
"Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang!" Li Xian slightly bowed his hands to Li Xuan, King of Han Li Yuanjia and other clans, and then said with a smile: "I should have arrived early, but I set off a little late."
"Your Highness is here just in time. Your Highness, please come inside." Li Xuan asked Li Xian to come in. Li Xian waved his hand and said, "Uncle Wang is doing his own thing, so Xian can go find his third brother, fourth brother and Taiping."
"Here!" After Li Xuan finished speaking, he took a slight step back. Li Xian smiled and went to the side courtyard.
"Real person!" Li Xuan said to him, while Ming Chongyan slightly held his hand.
Ming Chongyan nodded and glanced at Li Xuan in surprise. Li Xuan's expression was a little different, as if something had changed in him that he didn't know about.
After a slight pause, Dr. Guanglu Chen Guang immediately read loudly: "The bride and groom are sent into the bridal chamber."
There were loud sounds and noises behind him, but to Liu Jinyu's ears, everything was like being in another world.
She held the wedding silk tightly in her two delicate hands and was pulled by Li Xuan all the way to the bridal chamber on the east side of the Sijin Courtyard.
Eight girls stood on both sides of the bed. Under the wedding quilt, longan, lychee, red dates, chestnuts, peanuts and other wedding fruits had been placed in advance. Above that, there was a short table with a washbasin.
Aunt Zhou and Cui walked in from the outside and looked at Li Xuan and Liu Jinyu who were already sitting on either side of the table and smiled with their lips pursed.
At the door, Zhao Qi, Zhao Huan, even Princess Taiping, Prime Minister Li Dan, these young and unmarried children all looked in curiously.
"Wo wash, clean your hands." The two aunts lifted a kettle at the same time, and Li Xuan and Liu Jinyu put their hands into the copper basin at the same time.
Warm water was poured into the hands of the two people. Li Xuan moved forward slightly, and his big hand covered Liu Jinyu's small hand.
Liu Jinyu subconsciously wanted to shrink back, but at this moment, a pair of catkins had been grabbed by Li Xuan. She subconsciously twitched, but did not twitch. She was a little shy and looked at Li Xuan timidly.
Under the golden crown of the Jiudian flower tree, there is a pair of bright and somewhat evasive eyes.
In the center of the soft and delicate eyebrows, which are like goose eggs, there is a beautiful flower.
Li Xuan grabbed Liu Jinyu's hand hard and said, "Don't be nervous. Now, this room, this courtyard, and this entire palace are your home. You will be in charge of the entire home from now on."
Hearing what Li Xuan said, Liu Jinyu gradually felt relieved.
Ms. Zhou and Ms. Cui, who were standing on one side, couldn't help but laugh.
Isn’t this the purpose of Womu?
