Chapter 307: How can I say nothing? Ask for a monthly ticket)
November 11th is an auspicious day.
Before dawn, Li Kuan was woken up.
The palace of Prince Chu was already bustling with activity.
Needless to say, Ma Zhou, Wang Xuance, Chu Suiliang, Dongfang Ping, Shangguan Yi, Xue Li, Wang Fugui and others were busy all night in the palace last night.
Even elders such as Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong arrived at the Chu Palace early.
Under the personal auspices of Li Xiaogong, Li Kuan completed a series of extremely complicated ancestral declaration ceremonies, and then rode a horse to Su Guogong's mansion to marry the princess.
When a prince of the Tang Dynasty gets married, if the marriage is not granted by His Majesty or the other party is not the daughter of an important official in the imperial court, all you need to do is send a wedding team there.
However, Cheng Jingwen was betrothed by Li Shimin and was also the daughter of Cheng Zhijie, the Duke of Suzhou. Li Kuan could not escape the wedding.
Of course, for such an important ceremony, even if Cheng Jingwen was just an ordinary girl, Li Kuan was not prepared to be absent.
If you love her, give her a grand wedding.
Li Kuan's wedding team was very spectacular.
The clothes are uniform, the steps are consistent, and even the waving movements are exactly the same.
On both sides of the team, the guards of the Chu Palace in red cloaks were the first beautiful sight, allowing many people in Chang'an City to experience the visual impact of marching in goose for the first time.
The Si Ma Xuan chariot has a red curtain and green cover, with a four-clawed golden dragon on it and silk tassels hanging from the four corners.
Drums and music are all available, and there are hundreds of followers.
This team became the focus of countless people as soon as they left the Chu Palace.
Cheng Chumo, as his brother-in-law, was naturally not in the welcoming procession today, but Yuchihuan, Fang Yiai, and even Li Zhi, the king of Jin, all followed Li Kuan in an orderly manner.
The prince's marriage is originally a major royal event.
Not to mention Li Kuan, the prince who has been in the limelight in recent years and deeply loved by Li Shimin.
…
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Chu's wedding team has left the palace and is heading to the Duke of Su's palace at the specified time."
Even if Li Shimin didn't give any instructions on such a big matter as His Royal Highness the King of Chu's marriage, Li Zhong still had to send someone to understand it in depth and report back at any time.
"Well, I understand!"
Although Li Shimin was sitting in the Xuanzheng Hall reviewing the memorials, he was still thinking about something in his heart.
I think back when I first met Kuan'er's mother, it was already twenty years ago.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for this little guy to get married.
Time flies so fast.
…
At the Duke Su's residence, Cheng Jingwen didn't get up any later than Li Kuan.
After going through a complicated ancestor-advising ceremony, a group of people helped Cheng Jingwen change her clothes and put on makeup.
"Sister-in-law, you are so beautiful today."
Luzhu was helping with her makeup, and couldn't help but praise her.
"You are the only one with a sweet mouth!"
Cheng Jingwen saw herself dressed up in the glass mirror, with a smile on her face.
After waiting for a long time, I finally waited until today.
Although I am getting married today, I feel a little bit sad and reluctant.
However, to be honest, at this moment, Cheng Jingwen is much more happy and joyful than sad.
The Prince of Chu's Mansion and the Duke of Su's Mansion are not far apart, and my eldest brother is a close friend of the Prince. Naturally, I don't have to worry about not having a chance to see my mother-in-law's family for many years after getting married.
Why did brides in ancient times often burst into tears when they got married?
Reluctance is one of the reasons, but another important point is that transportation was inconvenient in ancient times. If you married far away, you really didn't know when you would see your parents again.
"Third Mistress, when it comes to applying makeup, what masterpiece will the prince have in mind?"
"How do I know?"
When Lu Zhu mentioned this, Cheng Jingwen said she didn't care, but in her heart she was looking forward to it.
If you could leave a makeup-inducing poem on your wedding that would be passed down through the ages, it would be considered a good story, right?
…
The wedding team from the Prince of Chu's Mansion arrived at the Duke of Su's Mansion amidst the sound of drums and music.
In the weddings of later generations, there are many things that can be found in the Tang Dynasty.
For example, in modern weddings, some scenes of the woman's relatives deliberately making things difficult for her were also seen in the Tang Dynasty. In terms of etiquette, this is a son-in-law gift.
The son-in-law ceremony and the ceremony of getting up early in the morning to worship ancestors are both part of the standard wedding process.
However, Li Kuan was the Prince of the Tang Dynasty after all and had a good reputation.
The reputation of Chang'an City's leader of the four evils back then was still fresh in my mind, but today I didn't encounter anything particularly difficult.
Even Cheng Chumo, who always liked to joke with him, rarely acted like a serious brother-in-law.
"Second brother, it's not that simple to bring our sister Jingwen out of the attic."
Li Xueyan stayed at Su Guogong's mansion today as Cheng Jingwen's best friend.
Even when she saw her own father behind Li Kuan constantly winking at her, she stood up fearlessly and insisted on letting Li Kuan leave some of his calligraphy treasures.
This is not only for Cheng Jingwen, but also to satisfy my own curiosity.
You know, Li Kuan is also nicknamed the most talented person in Chang'an City.
"Xue Yan, if you have any requests, please speak them out quickly. As long as you can do it, I will satisfy you."
On such an important day, Li Kuan naturally had a rare good attitude.
"That's what you said. I won't make it difficult for you today. As long as you can compose three popular poems to encourage women to make up, you can take the bride out of the attic."
Three makeup-inducing poems!
Even more popular!
Isn’t this difficult for you?
If Li Kuan hadn't been able to steal poems, well, how could stealing poems be called stealing?
If Li Kuan hadn't been extremely talented and knowledgeable, he would have really been stumped by Li Xueyan.
Of course, Xin Langguan does not necessarily have to write this makeup poem himself, otherwise where would there be so many talented people?
"In the past, I was going to visit Jade Capital, and the first immortal Xu Zhuangtou came to visit me.
Today I am fortunate enough to be at the Qin and Jin gatherings, and I have taught Luan Feng to go down to the makeup building early."
Li Kuan was too lazy to talk nonsense with Li Xueyan, so he turned on the attack mode himself, letting everyone know that he, the most talented person in Chang'an City, was not in vain.
"It is said that the candles are mixed with red powder, and spring is not celebrated in front of the mirror.
There is no need to put makeup on your face, just leave your eyebrows ready to be painted."
While everyone was still savoring the poem just now, Li Kuan had already composed the second one.
"I would like to be a winged bird in the sky, and a twig on the ground. Okay, you can get out of the way."
After Li Kuan finished speaking, he walked directly past Li Xueyan, who was stunned and had not yet reacted.
Not only did Li Xueyan not react, but behind Li Kuan, Chu Suiliang, who was brainstorming to help his prince think of good poems, Shangguan Yi and others also didn't react.
this……
Is this the end?
Could it be that the prince and the princess colluded in advance and prepared those masterpieces in advance?
But judging from the princess’s performance, it doesn’t seem like it?
Even Lu Zhu, who was eagerly looking around in the attic, was stunned for a moment when Li Kuan appeared in front of him.
Didn't they say they wanted to make things difficult for His Highness the King of Chu?
Chapter completed!
