Since her grandmother passed away, Banhua has not worn bright colors for a long time. She stretched out her hand to touch the wedding dress in the tray, looking a little dazed. This whole wedding dress was made by eighteen famous embroiderers for several months. The phoenix pattern on it is like smoke willows and clouds. It is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes away. Even she herself can't look away. I was amazed by this wedding dress.
Many women wear wedding dresses only once in their lives, so for a woman, this is a very important thing. It is so important that even when she is old, she will never forget the beauty she felt when she put on this red wedding dress. How beautiful.
She opened her arms and let the maid put on one piece of clothing after another, until the bright red wedding dress was put on her body. Her cheeks seemed to be rosy against the backdrop of the wedding dress. stand up.
"Princess, my servant will help you dress up." A cleanly dressed female official walked up to Banhua. She had dressed the queen before, and she was also the consul aunt of Dayue Palace. The princess who was a concubine wanted to invite her out to dress up when she got married. She may not necessarily give this face. But it was different today. She was sent here personally by His Majesty and the Queen, so she was extremely respectful to Banhua in words and deeds.
The original girl's bun was turned into a woman's bun, and she was as rich as the clouds. Banhua put a little rouge on the corners of her eyes, and the ends of her eyes were like blooming peach blossoms, delicate and beautiful.
"Princess, I wish you and the Marquis of Cheng'an that the flowers will bloom as well as the head and eyebrows." The female officer traced a double flower between Banhua's eyebrows. Perhaps it was because Banhua's skin was particularly fair, so this flower The flowers look like fire, so hot that people can't take their eyes away.
The female official put down the pen in her hand and said with a smile: "The princess is really beautiful."
Banhua turned to look at herself in the mirror, picked up the eyebrow pencil and raised the tips of her eyebrows a little higher. The originally gentle eyebrows suddenly became more prominent. She smiled with satisfaction, and now she looked like her. What tenderness and tenderness have to do with her?
With a bright red forehead pendant and earrings made of ruby, Banhua suddenly said: "My red appearance does not look like a lantern hanging at the door."
"Princess, you are joking again," Yuzhu squatted in front of Banhua and dyed Danko for her. Banhua looked at her pampered white hands and turned to look at the busy maids in the room. They, she's probably the most laid-back person in the room.
After the nails were dyed, Yuzhu applied a layer of delicate and lightly scented hand oil to Banhua's hands. Banhua raised his hands and suddenly said: "It's fine now."
Yuzhu stood up and took out a pair of ruby bracelets from the wooden box and put them on Banhua, "Princess, these bracelets were specially customized for you by the Duke."
Ban Huai has been shopping around for the past year when he has something to do. Most of these things are prepared for Banhua, and this ruby bracelet is one of them.
Banhua has not yet put on the phoenix crown, because the phoenix crown is very heavy and will not be put on until the groom composes a poem to satisfy the bride.
Banhua smiled and stroked the pair of bracelets, letting her heart calm down a little bit.
"You all must be careful. There is still ice on the ground that has not completely melted. If you fall, it will not only be embarrassing, but also unlucky." Du Jiu's injury has healed. He stood among the people wearing red In front of the young man with a happy face, he said, "Today is my uncle's wedding to his wife. You must be careful not to make any mistakes."
"Yes." The boys agreed in unison.
This time Rong Xia's wedding team was very large, including not only officials from the Ministry of Rites, relatives who had contacts with the Rong family, but also royal elders who were personally arranged by Emperor Yunqing to worry about Rong Xia.
This is because Emperor Yun Qing was worried that Rong Xia was young and did not understand many of the rules at the wedding, so he specially sent many people who had come to let Rong Xia know when to do what to do and what to avoid when.
This palace that Emperor Yunqing rewarded was originally called Changning Garden, but after it was given to Rong Xia and Banhua, Emperor Yunqing decreed to give this palace another name, Baishou Garden.
It probably means that a husband and wife love each other and stay together forever.
The name was given by Emperor Yunqing, but the characters were inscribed by Rong Xia himself.
At this time, the Baishou Garden was filled with festive red silk ribbons and red lanterns. The guests looked at this gorgeous palace and couldn't help but feel envious in their hearts. His Majesty gave it to such a beautiful palace as he asked. This kind of generous attitude can only be shown by a father to his son.
Because except for my biological father, who would give it up?
"Sir Wang, please come here." Mr. Zhou and Mr. Yao helped Rong Xia greet the guests, and several officials from the Ministry of Personnel also helped run errands. Some relatives from the Rong family's branches were running around. The whole palace was so lively.
Perhaps because the rumors of illegitimate children had such great influence, everyone who had some relationship with Rong Xia came to congratulate Rong Xia. People who didn't have invitations tried their best to squeeze in.
"Where's the groom? It's time to get ready to pick up the bride."
When a guest asked, everyone discovered that the groom didn’t seem to show his face much. How could he not see the groom on such a big day?
"The groom is in a hurry to marry the bride, so he rode his horse to welcome the bride half an hour ago."
"Hero Mu Jiaren, it should be, it should be, don't worry about it blindly."
The guests laughed kindly and chatted with their acquaintances, which was quite lively.
Playing and playing along the way, the candies that were thrown out were snatched away by the children watching the fun. Rong Xia was riding on the horse, and she felt that the sky today was blue, the land was broad, and even the ice hanging on the leaves was crystal clear. cute.
"Groom, come out and see the groom. The groom is going to marry the bride."
The children ran around the wedding team, applauding and looking at the groom's beautiful clothes, the majestic horse, and the long wedding team. The adults recognized from the size of the wedding procession that this must be a big shot welcoming the bride. They were worried that their children would bump into the nobleman's good deeds, so they hurriedly dragged the children back and hid further away before taking a closer look.
What is inlaid on the saddle? Are they gems?
There are also those young gentlemen following the groom. I don’t know whose noble princes they are. They are really handsome and the fabrics on their bodies are also rare. They look at Yunxia.
"Marquis Cheng'an," an elegant young man glanced at the sky, "Isn't it too early to go there now?"
"It's not too early," Rong Xia said meaningfully, "The time will be just right when we get the bride out."
Everyone didn't realize what this meant at first, but when they arrived at Ban's house, they understood.
I finally got through the gate, and when I reached the second gate, I was blocked by a group of people again. Princess Fule’s circle of friends is really broad. Some people are good at writing, some are good at dancing, and there is no shortage of masters in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. A group of elegant young men almost begged to be called aunt before they could squeeze in.
"Isn't it said that the Marquis of An'an is the most popular among women in the capital?" A noble prince straightened his rumpled brocade robe and said with lingering fear, "But these girls clearly don't want to become the Marquis of An'an. Marry Princess Fule."
Thinking of those tough women, both of them shuddered. They just felt that as a man, it is really not easy to marry a woman of your choice.
Fortunately, I came early today, otherwise I would have missed the auspicious time.
"Princess, the groom has arrived at the second door." The maid came in and saw Banhua still sitting on the bedside with the phoenix crown still on the side. She hurriedly said, "Hurry up and get ready."
Banhua stood up and opened the window of the room, and the sun shone in from the outside.
"Princess," the female officer's expression changed, "you are not allowed to go to the ground."
"People have to go to the ground." Banhua smiled, opened his palms, and the sunlight still fell between his fingers. "Things like rules are made for others to see. Are they useful? Are they good? , only you know it."
The matchmaker for the marriage between Banhua and Rong Xia was Emperor Yunqing, but it was impossible for him as a matchmaker to come to the Jingting Palace in person, so the female official who was arranged to come over also acted as a matchmaker. When she heard Banhua's remarks that sounded reasonable but were actually shocking, she was so worried that her intestines were knotted, but she didn't dare to offend this person, and she didn't even dare to say a harsh word.
"Princess," Grandma Chang walked to Banhua and blessed her, "do you still have concerns in your heart?"
Listening to the excitement outside, Banhua came in, looked at the pomegranate tree outside the yard, and slowly shook his head: "Bring the phoenix crown."
With the help of the wedding group, Rong Xia finally broke through the layers of obstacles and walked into the courtyard where Banhua lived. The young men in the wedding group stood outside the courtyard and looked around, but it was difficult to get in.
The person guarding the door was Ban Heng. He was wearing a purple brocade robe. It was supposed to be a festive moment, but there was not much joy on his face.
"Marquis Cheng'an."
"Brother Heng, just call me Jun Po." Rong Xia saluted Ban Heng.
Ban Heng looked back at the door behind him and said, "I don't need you to write any makeup poems. No one in our family is interested in poetry anyway."
The people standing outside the courtyard gate were a little embarrassed. Prince Ban, is it a little bad for you to be so direct?
"My sister is a very good girl. If you are treated as one of her own, she will not let you down," Ban Heng said with a choked voice, "She has never suffered any grievances since she was a child. Don't let her suffer. ”
Rong Xia took a step back and saluted Ban Heng solemnly: "Please rest assured, brother-in-law, I, Rong Xia, will definitely live up to Huahua in this life, let alone let her suffer."
"I hope you will do what you say," Ban Heng puffed up his chest and tried to look more powerful. "Our Ban family is not afraid of rumors. If you are not good to my sister, I will pick her up." Come back."
On the great day, before the bride even went out, she first thought of bringing her back. The Ban family... is really not very particular.
Rong Xia walked to the closed door and said loudly: "Today Rong is lucky enough to ask to marry Ban's daughter. Firstly, he will not break his promise, secondly, he will not disappoint the beautiful woman, and thirdly, he will not make her sad. If there is any violation, let him Rong’s reputation will be ruined in this life, and he will not end well.”
For a civil servant who is famous all over the world, this oath is not without poison.
Banhua, who was behind the door, put on her phoenix crown. When she heard Rong Xia's words, she closed her eyes and asked Mrs. Quanfu to put on the hijab for her.
My eyes were dark red.
"Sister."
Ban Heng walked up to Banhua and bent down. Banhua lay on his shoulder. The child who wanted her to protect had grown up unknowingly. His shoulders are broad and his arms are strong and strong, able to hold up a whole world for the Ban family.
With colorful paper flying, firecrackers ringing, and the boys singing auspicious reports, Banhua knew that she had passed the inner gate, passed the second gate, and walked a little further. We are about to leave the front door of Ban's house.
"Wealth and flowers bloom, and good luck comes."
This is the Jiuqu Corridor. She used to like to tease the koi fish here, deliberately attracting them to grab food.
"When fortune and longevity come, purple energy comes."
There is a hibiscus tree planted here, which is beautiful when it blooms.
"Blooming with joy, full of descendants."
There are several steps here. Step on this step and walk a few more steps to get out of Ban's house.
She is very familiar with this place, so familiar that even though she can't see anything in her eyes, she knows it very well in her heart.
As soon as Banhua took a step forward, he heard the loud sound of firecrackers, the sound of blowing, the noise of people outside, and it was very lively. She suddenly noticed that her palms were cold, so she tightened the fabric on Ban Heng's shoulders little by little.
"Sister, don't be afraid," Ban Heng whispered to Ban Hua, "As long as Rong Xia treats you badly, I will come to pick you up. I was the one who carried you to the sedan chair today, and I will also be your arm in the future. I won’t let him bully you.”
Banhua laughed, but warm liquid flowed out of his eyes disobediently.
She has always said this to Brother Heng since she was a child, but she never thought that one day he would say it to her too.
She seemed to hear crying. Was it her father or mother?
Banhua wanted to turn around, but was supported by the female officer.
"Princess, the bride cannot look back after she leaves the house."
Banhua pulled away the female officer's hand, lifted a corner of her hijab, and looked behind her. Her father stood by the gate, holding her mother's hand and crying like a child. Her mother looked at her with such tenderness in her eyes that she wanted to throw herself into her arms and never get on this sedan chair again.
"Princess!" The female officer pressed down the hijab in a panic, "You can't take off the hijab yourself."
Ban Hua didn't say anything. She gradually released her hand holding Ban Heng's shoulder and whispered in his ear: "Let's go."
Ban Heng paused for a moment, then bent down and carried Banhua into the sedan chair.
Rong Xia stepped forward and gave Ban Huai and Yin a great gift as a junior, "Please rest assured, father-in-law and mother-in-law, my son-in-law will definitely take good care of the princess."
Ban Huai glanced at him, grabbed Yin's sleeve, and continued to cry loudly, and he cried even more sadly than before.
Rong Xia:......
He had a feeling that he was a bully who robbed civilian girls, and Ban Huai was a helpless old father who cried bitterly.
Turning back to look at his wife's brother, Ban Heng also looked at him with red eyes, full of reluctance and sadness.
"Go ahead," Mrs. Yin wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with a forced smile, "May your minds be connected and the harp and harp sing in harmony."
"Farewell, son-in-law." Rong Xia gave a big salute to Mrs. Yin, turned around and climbed onto the horse's back with the wedding ball tied on it, then turned and glanced at the big red sedan behind her, her eyes so gentle that she almost shed tears.
"The magpie comes from the east, and the sedan chair rises."
Ban Huai and Ban Heng looked at the sedan chair gradually going away. Unable to hold back their feelings of reluctance, Ban Huai and Ban Heng hugged each other and cried. I cried until the sky was dark, and the sun and the moon dimmed. No one came to persuade me, no matter who said good words, it was of no use. The two men just stood at the gate of Ban's house, like poor people who had lost a treasure, crying inconspicuously.
Some people say that the Ban family is ridiculous, and others say that they can't bear to part with their daughter, but most of them just watch the fun.
For others, separation and staying together, tears and laughter, are just an interesting performance. Who cares about the mood and feelings of the person involved?
The sedan chair swayed slowly around the capital. Banhua always felt that she heard the cries of her family. Although she knew that this place was far away from Ban's family, there was no way she could hear her family's cries. sound.
Behind her sedan chair, followed a long line of dowry bearers. These people were dressed in bright red clothes, and each of them had a beaming smile on their face.
The snow has not yet melted, and the scenery is red.
This wedding is enough to make all the women in the capital envious, and also let everyone know what the real Shili Hongzhuang is.
Calls and paintings, antiques, jewelry, silk and satin ornaments, rice and wheat made of gold and silver, golden peanuts, gemstone trees, and antiques that were rumored to have been lost. Did the Ban family empty out all their belongings?
Shi Jin is riding on horseback. He is wearing a black suit, his black hair is **** with a gold crown, and he looks very serious. The golden sunshine shone on his body, and he seemed to be standing quietly as a sculpture on the snow, waiting for the arrival of that bright red.
Close, close.
The sound of the suona, the sound of drums, and the sound of flutes, every sound was proclaiming its joy and joy. Shi Jin's unmoved eyes finally trembled, and he turned his head to look at the other end of the street.
Red clothes, white horses, graceful jade faces. Shi Jin had to admit that Rong Xia was an extremely outstanding man, and his presence overshadowed all the noble men behind him.
Shi Jin's eyelids trembled slightly, and his eyes fell on the red sedan behind Rong Xia.
This is a specially made sedan chair. The top of the sedan chair is inlaid with gems. There are golden bells hanging on the eight corners of the sedan chair. Every time it shakes, it makes a sweet sound. When you get closer, you can still smell a faint fragrance.
Eight Treasures Incense Sedan, it is said that in ancient times, gods used this kind of sedan when they came to earth to marry their wives.
So since then, people often say that the fairy concubine is sitting in the eight-treasure incense sedan. But no one has ever seen an immortal, and not many people are willing to use the eight-treasure-scented sedan to marry the bride. How many people in the world are willing to spend so much just to marry a woman?
But Rong Xia did it. He gave Banhua the honor he could give, just like a young man pursuing his goddess, taking out all his good things, just asking the goddess to look at him one more time.
Shi Jin thought, if he could marry Princess Fule, would he be willing to make such a sedan for her?
No.
The Shi family would not allow him to be so extravagant and high-profile, let alone allow his daughter-in-law to be so pampered when she entered the house. He couldn't give Ban Hua such grace, nor could he give Rong Xia such attentiveness, because he still had the entire Shi family on his shoulders.
As long as he lives for a day, he cannot let go of the Shi family. This is his fate.
He patted the horse beneath him and prepared to turn around and leave.
At this moment, the curtain of the sedan chair was blown by the wind, and he saw the woman behind the sedan window.
She sat lazily, holding her chin with one hand, and the red hijab covering her head was shaking gently, like a soft palm, gently squeezing his heart, which hurt so much. He was so sore that he clutched his chest, his throat became so sweet that he spat out a mouthful of dark red blood.
"Young Master!" The Shi family's guard looked at the blood on the ground in horror, his face turned pale.
Shi Jin expressionlessly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand and said calmly: "No need to make a fuss."
"Yes." The guard was frightened, but did not dare to say anything. He had been with the eldest son for many years, and he was vaguely aware of the eldest son's thoughts about Princess Fule. However, the eldest son never said that, and the Shi family had no intention of marrying with the Ban family, so he did not mention this matter. Take it too seriously.
I didn’t expect that Princess Fule’s marriage would make the young master so sad.
Shi Jin wiped the last bit of blood from the corner of his mouth with his thumb: "Don't follow me, I'll walk around."
"Young Master..."
"What I said is useless?"
"My subordinates dare not."
Shi Jin rode out of the city aimlessly on horseback. When he came to his senses, he found that he had arrived at the top of a hillside, where he could see the main entrance of Baishou Garden.
The winter sun did not have much temperature, and the cold wind blew on Shi Jin's face, as cold as needles. He jumped off the horse, watched the sedan chair enter the palace gate, and looked at the long dowry procession that never ended. , Lifting the palace gate little by little, but it can't be finished.
He took a breath of cold air, took one last look at the palace, and led the horse down the hillside.
Down the hillside, he met an acquaintance.
"Thank you, Second Young Master." He looked calm.
"Master Shi." Xie Qilin did not expect to meet Shi Jin in this place. He was stunned for a moment and saluted to Shi Jin.
Shi Jin nodded to him coldly, got on his horse and prepared to leave.
"Why are Master Shi here?" Xie Qilin looked at the dowry procession not seven or eight feet away from him, and suddenly said, "Are you here to see the scenery?"
Shi Jin sneered: "Why are you here, Mr. Xie?"
Xie Qilin looked at the dowry procession and lowered his head slightly: "Of course I came here to enjoy the scenery."
Shi Jin sneered, whipped the horse, and the horse galloped away.
Xie Qilin didn't care about his departure, he just watched quietly, as if the scene in front of him had little to do with him, and as if there was a beautiful scene in front of him that was hard to find in the world.
The Yan family.
Yan Zhen was reading by the window. When the sound of joy spread from outside the street to the courtyard, he was reciting "Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman strives to constantly strive for self-improvement; the terrain is weak, and a gentleman carries great virtues." He was hit by the sound of joy. Finally, he put down the book in his hand and said to the boy beside him, "It's almost the Chinese New Year, which family is planning to get married?"
The boy shook his head: "Young Master, I don't know."
When Yan Zhen heard this, he smiled and said, "Since I don't know, that's all."
The boy lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
"Go down, I'm reading and don't like to be waited on."
"Yes."
Yan Zhen smiled bitterly. The boy didn't know, but he knew it in his heart.
On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, on the wedding day of Cheng'an Marquis and Princess Fule, he was hiding in this courtyard, just pretending not to know anything. Could he really pretend that he didn't know anything?
"Princess," a Mrs. Quanfu handed one end of the red silk ribbon to Banhua. Banhua walked out of the sedan chair and stood in front of the sedan chair without moving.
"Huahua," Rong Xia held her hand, "come with me."
Banhua bent her fingers and let Rong Xia hold her hand.
She couldn't see anything. Someone was helping her walk, so at least she didn't have to fall.
Rong Xia's parents have passed away, so when worshiping at Gaotang, one should only worship at their tablets. However, the guests present discovered that there was a personal seal placed between the two tablets.
Ordinary people don’t recognize it, but people in high positions recognize it. This is His Majesty’s personal seal.
When a son gets married, it is natural for him to worship his parents and worship heaven and earth. What does it mean that your majesty puts his personal seal in the middle?
Yan Hui, who originally thought it was absurd to say that Rong Xia was His Majesty's illegitimate son, suddenly felt that perhaps the most absurd guess was the final truth after seeing the seal.
Rong Xia...is really of royal blood?
In Dayue Palace, Emperor Yunqing said: "Wang De, is it time to worship Gaotang at this time?"
Wang De said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has arrived."
Emperor Yunqing immediately felt relieved.
As long as Rong Xia and Hua Yatou worship his seal, his bad luck will disappear without a trace, and his illness will no longer exist.
He had already asked the eunuchs and maids around him, and found out that this is the most useful method among the people.
Thinking that he was about to get rid of his illness, Emperor Yun Qing fell asleep with a smile on his face.
In Baishou Garden, Banhua and Rong Xia knelt down together.
"Kneel down to heaven and earth and worship."
