Chapter 564 The big day(2/2)
"You are so polite, father-in-law. We have worked hard all the way, let's take a rest inside!" Yang Fan has been in the officialdom for so long, and he is very familiar with greetings.
What's more, the old eunuch is considered an acquaintance, so there is no need to be so foreign.
As expected, the imperial edict brought by Wang Huangui was not only that His Majesty Li Er marry Princess Changle together, but also confirmed the wedding date.
On November 28th, the twelfth year of Zhenguan, after this day, Yang Fan will end his two-life single life.
In the next month or so, Yang Fan was extremely busy, but he was really excited inside.
Marriage not only represents a responsibility, but also represents that Yang Fan has grown up.
People often say that when a long drought brings nectar, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, the night of flowers and candles in the wedding room, and the inscription on the gold medal, these are the four great joys in life.
Getting married for the first time in two lives was of course full of yearning and novelty, and Yang Fan also paid special attention to it.
Getting married in ancient times was actually very complicated, not to mention two princesses getting married at the same time.
The "Book of Rites" has stipulated the six rites for concluding a marriage: accepting the gift, asking for the name, accepting the acknowledgment, accepting the invitation, asking for a date, and welcoming in person. This is a necessary link.
Weddings in the Tang Dynasty naturally inherited the ancient rituals of the predecessors, but the differences between the rich and the poor were different, and the ostentation was different in complexity and simplicity.
For a noble family like the Yang Mansion, the procedures are extremely complicated. If it weren't for Empress Dowager Xiao presiding over it and Wu Meiniang cooperating, it wouldn't have been possible to complete it in such a short time.
Time soon came to November 28, the twelfth year of Zhenguan. Today is auspicious, it is time to get married, level the land, and welcome good luck...
After several months of preparation, everything about the wedding has been taken care of.
When a princess gets married, there are certain rules and regulations that must not be neglected. After all, it is related to the emperor's face.
On November 28th, the ugly hour had just arrived and the sky was still pitch black.
However, both the Yang Mansion and the Imperial Palace were in a state of celebration. The orange red lights stretched for more than ten kilometers, letting the people of the entire Chang'an City know that Yang Fan, a great benevolent man and great hero, was about to get married.
Moreover, the targets were the two noble princesses. Some people who liked to watch the excitement even stayed up all night and stood on the street waiting to watch this grand ceremony, as if the night could no longer stop people's interest.
Although the curfew in Chang'an City is usually strictly enforced, it will be canceled for three consecutive days starting tonight, providing opportunities for people watching the excitement to move freely.
At this time, the imperial city was brightly lit.
One by one, bright red palace lanterns were hung high, and the bright lights enveloped the entire imperial city in an orange-red halo, adding a bit of joy to the solemnity.
In the Li Zheng Hall, there was a lot of laughter and laughter, making it very lively.
Since the two princesses were getting married together, it was certainly impossible to place the wedding venue in a certain princess's palace.
Therefore, it is most appropriate to make unified preparations in the Riseijeon Hall.
As the two most popular princesses of His Majesty Li Er got married, of course the princesses, consorts and princes in the capital came to congratulate them.
All the princesses and princes came to Princess Gaoyang's palace in unison.
The prince and consort were chatting outside, but the women were sitting together, laughing and dressing up.
No matter whether it is pleasing to the eye or not, at this time, I will let go of my prejudices and show a warm scene of sisterly love in front of outsiders.
Princess Yongjia was sitting diagonally in front of Princess Gaoyang's couch, gently stroking her black hair with a comb. There was an air of mature young woman in her movements.
She is wearing a simple and elegant sky blue palace dress today, with a graceful and graceful figure. Such a plump figure will always make people feel inexplicably tempted.
Looking at Princess Gaoyang and Princess Changle sitting in front of the dressing table, their two flower-like faces look even more beautiful with light makeup.
Even if a fairy from heaven comes down to earth, she will feel ashamed compared with these two women.
Seeing that her two nieces were about to marry the same person, Princess Yongjia felt a little distressed and a little pity, so she said softly: "You girls are really stupid. We are high-ranking princesses, royal relatives and nobles, and we actually get married at the same time.
Marrying someone else, the emperor is too disrespectful to you."
"Sigh, we women have the most miserable life. Many times we have no control over our own affairs and cannot make the decision at all. It's such a miserable life."
"But men are different. They eat from the bowl and look into the pot. It's not enough for Yang Fan to marry Gao Yang. He actually wants beauty. It's simply ridiculous. This guy has three wives and four concubines. He really thinks that we are the princess of the Li family.
It’s just Chinese cabbage, it’s really annoying!”
The more Princess Yongjia talked, the angrier she became, and in the end she gritted her teeth. If someone didn’t know better, she would have thought that jealousy had broken out!
Hearing this, Princess Gaoyang raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Auntie, don't let Consort Dou hear this. Otherwise, it will break your heart to find out that your beloved wife, whom you regard as a treasure, actually treats men like this."
Princess Yongjia married Dou Fengjie, but this guy couldn't hold Princess Yongjia at all and was very henpecked.
Therefore, Dou Fengjie always held Princess Yongjia in the palm of his hand and let her do as she pleased, not wanting to say a harsh word.
But the falling flowers are intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless.
Princess Yongjia didn't like Dou Fengjie at all. She only regarded their marriage as a political deal and called this guy a loser every day.
With no other choice, Dou Fengjie had no choice but to apply to the emperor for guarding the border. The two of them barely saw each other throughout the year, and the marriage was in name only.
Therefore, many people used Dou Fengjie's infatuation to make fun of Princess Yongjia.
Princess Yongjia's face was slightly red, and she glared at Princess Gaoyang with some embarrassment, and said: "As long as someone doesn't like me, who cares if he is heartless? But you, girl, it doesn't matter if you make fun of me now, wait until we get married.
, I’m afraid you will suffer! The one in your family is really bad-tempered and only knows how to hit people with his fists. You jumped into the fire pit yourself, but you dragged the beauty down too. Don’t come to my aunt to cry at that time."
"Oh, I think you are jealous, aunt. Don't worry. Sister Changle and I will come to visit aunt more in the future... Otherwise, I will also ask Lang Jun to come and see you!" Princess Gaoyang spoke sharply, so of course she didn't dare.
Show weakness.
Besides, Yang Fan was his favorite fiancé, how could anyone make fun of him, not even his own aunt?
The slight smile on Princess Gaoyang's lips and the two dimples on her face all revealed the sweetness in her heart and her expectations for the future.
Princess Linchuan heard the conversation between the two and said angrily: "I also agree with what my aunt said. I really don't know what my father thinks about why beauty married such a tough guy. Our beauty is gentle, virtuous, talented and beautiful."
Both sides, this life is ruined!"
Her consort is Zhou Daowu.
After Zhou Daowu and Yang Fan returned from conquering Tibet, they became General Zuowuwei based on their merits.
Although Zhou Daowu did not dare to offend Yang Fan again, his relationship with Yang Fan was not good after all.
After returning, he was assigned by the emperor to take turns guarding the capital.
After not returning home for a whole year, the young couple lived in separate places. It was inevitable that Princess Linchuan felt some resentment towards Yang Fan.
In her opinion, it was Yang Fan who said bad things that made the emperor send Zhou Daowu far away!
For a moment, there was a bit of a chill in the bedroom.
Yang Fan is indeed a free-spirited person, but the more such a person is, the more people avoid him. Who is willing to provoke him?
Princess Qinghe on the side just sat quietly, with a slight smile on her beautiful face, turning a deaf ear.
Her consort is Cheng Hualiang. As Cheng Chumo’s sister-in-law and Cheng Yaojin’s daughter-in-law, her heart is naturally towards Yang Fan...
But she couldn't refute, after all, this was a big day, and once a quarrel broke out, it would affect the atmosphere.
However, in her opinion, Yang Fan is still very capable.
Chapter completed!
