Chapter 163 Big Wedding
Zhu Yu backed away silently, and closed the palace door behind him before leaving.
The old **** was also standing outside the door, and he shook his head when he saw Zhu Yu before he could speak.
All of them looked dignified.
Jiang Changning wanted to bend the corners of her mouth and smile, but the astringency that hit her heart made her unable to smile.
She thought that Qin Huaisu would question her, but he didn’t say anything, and even his expression was normal, showing no sign of the panic a few days ago.
Jiang Changning swallowed the bitterness in his heart, and was thinking about how to explain to him that he had coughed up blood and fell asleep again and again in the past two days. However, Qin Huaisu waved away the servant girl who was serving her and went straight to the edge and sat down, stretched out her hand to lift the quilt that had slipped off, with warm brows and eyes, and hooked her hair scattered on her cheeks behind her ears, with an intimate gesture and a solemn tone: ” Jiang Changning, let’s get married, okay?”
This sentence was finally uttered by him.
Jiang Changning sighed in his heart, this was probably the last thing he could do for Qin Huaisu. It was supposed to be a joyous thing, but now that she is probably dead soon, Jiang Changning’s heart is beyond sad, but how can she bear to reject him.
“it is good.”
Jiang Changning frowned, shy and timid as if looking forward to it. Following Qin Huaisu’s strength, she leaned her head on his shoulder and rubbed her ears, but there were tears in her eyes and she dared not blink for fear that the tears would fall.
She already had a premonition that this dream would end after the wedding.
…
Shang Sheng was in such a hurry to get married that even Najib was spared the application period, and only half a month was given to prepare.
Some courtiers wrote to question, saying that the matter of conferring the empress is so important that there should be no such haste, not to mention Miss Jiang’s identity is unknown and she cannot take the post.
It’s just that the book was thrown down just after it was delivered to Qin Huaisu, and even the person with him was dragged away, beaten and ordered to be grounded for three months.
We all know what kind of temperament Qin Huaisu is, and all officials of the court, middle and military officials dare not say a word, and follow the instructions to handle the matter with the most solemn etiquette.
The harem has been renovated from the inside to the outside. The entire front eaves of the palace are covered with colored silk, and the place where you can see is full of red silk, which is lively and festive.
Because of this atmosphere, the lifeless palace finally had some fresh air, and the maid who lowered her eyebrows and nodded every day also had a smile on her face, which made people feel a lot more relaxed.
“The girl is so beautiful.”
Zhu Yuli stood behind Jiang Changning and looked at the face reflected in the bronze mirror, probably because a happy event was imminent. In recent days, Jiang Changning’s illnesses have also decreased, and he looks much more energetic.
Jiang Changning was wearing a vermilion wedding gown, with makeup on his face, rouge was slightly smudged between his cheeks, a flower inn was dotted between his eyebrows, and his eyes were full of charm.
Jinxin twisted her black hair into a phoenix bun, and in the middle of the bun she wore a beaded, lotus, mandarin duck, and red jade crown, opposite her hairpin was a heling jade silk hairpin, and golden silk inlaid with rubies and double luan dotted with emerald steps swayed by her ears There was a tinkling sound.
The colorful wedding gown was made by hundreds of embroiderers, and the gold thread and colorful beads are extremely gorgeous. It is a double-layer wide-sleeved blouse with golden silk, embroidered with mandarin duck and pomegranate pattern on the edge, and a red gold inlaid ruby collar button on the chest, which is full of elegance and luxury. Embellished with inch-long gold thread, each fold is carefully embroidered with a piece of Jiang Changning’s favorite poppy.
Jiang Changning has been living in Qin Huaisu’s dormitory since he came here. He has moved out specially for the custom of the big wedding these days. He is in the Chaofeng Pavilion not far from him. From the inside to the outside, it looks like the emperor The layout is standard, except that the curtains on the bed and curtains are all replaced with red dragon and phoenix double happiness characters; the furniture in the interior is also decorated with dragon and phoenix double happiness patterns.
“Girl, it’s time.”
Zhu Yu went out to take a look, and the chariot and sedan chair to greet him had arrived outside the door, and more than a hundred people were waiting on both sides of the sinking wooden boxes filled with gold, silver, pearls, jade, silk, satin and porcelain.
“Let’s go.” Jiang Changning took the round fan handed over by Jin Xin to cover his face, and with Zhu Yu’s support, he sat in the carefully decorated sedan chair. The vermilion tulle was gently blown by the wind, and the outside But all the people bowed their heads deeply, not daring to take another look.
The sedan chair made a circle on the main road in the palace, and the red silk and joy resounded wherever it went.
Stepping through the main gate, you can see all the officials of the court lay down on the ground in a row, and the wedding sedan chair passed through the crowd and landed in front of Qin Huaisu.
“Ning’er.”
Qin Huaisu pushed aside the sedan chair curtain, stretched out his hand to her, only to realize that his hand was so tense that it was wet with sweat as soon as he shook it.
Qin Huaisu couldn’t describe how he felt at the moment, Jiang Changning was standing in front of him in his wedding dress, it was like a dream, maybe, this was a dream.
Qin Huaisu and Jiang Changning are both single and do not sit in high halls. Even now, Qin Huaisu has never believed in the blessings of heaven and earth.
“Following the fate of the heavens, the emperor’s edict said: The husband is only a pot for a long time, and it is appropriate for Hongyi to act. Today, there is a noble daughter of the Jiang family who is beautiful and famous. She is auspicious and virtuous. The mother’s ceremonies are in the world, and the gold book Jin Baoli is the queen. I am very grateful, and I would like to celebrate with the whole country and have fun with the people. I am amnesty to the world and exempt from taxes for three years. I respect this.”
“See Your Majesty! See Your Empress!”
After announcing the decree, it is considered as a grand ceremony.
In the palace, there was a feast of feasts, songs, swallows and dances to share with the courtiers, but the protagonist disappeared.
Qin Huaisu pulled Jiang Changning straight to the apse.
The waiters were all dismissed, Qin Huaisu personally arranged the wedding room, and prepared the ceremony according to folk customs.
There was a brazier outside the threshold, inside was lychee wood and sandalwood, sprinkled with three qian of red beans and three qian of cinnabar, and now the flames were blazing brightly.
“Come.”
Qin Huaisu stretched out his hand towards her, and Jiang Changning obediently put it up, covering his face with a round fan in his right hand.
“Why do you need to spend so much effort?”
No wonder it’s been rare to see him in recent days, because I went to prepare these things.
“I know you don’t like those red tapes, so I’ve simplified them as much as possible. It’s just that these customs are inevitable. They imply auspiciousness and prosperity.”
Qin Huaisu is not someone who cares about these things, but he hopes that if there is such a good sign of good luck, he will give it to Jiang Changning.
The sun was setting quickly, and more than a hundred pairs of hanging lamps were hung on the eaves to illuminate the wedding night as brightly as day. The red candles decorated with dragon and phoenix double happiness patterns on the candlesticks swayed, and candle tears flowed onto the table.
Qin Huaisu took down the round fan, the person in front of him was ashamed and his eyes were full of spring, and the fiery red wedding dress made her very charming.
He poured two glasses of wine and handed them to Jiang Changning, a gentle and ambiguous atmosphere lingered between them. No one spoke, and the two exchanged glasses for a drink.
“Tired?”
Qin Huaisu took off the heavy phoenix crown on Jiang Changning’s head, and straightened her messy bun.
After listening to the edict, Jiang Changning’s hands and feet began to gradually go limp, until now.
