Chapter 496 Fortunately, there was no red hijab in BC(1/2)
The long wait has finally ended, and the day for wedding reception has come.
This also means that after today, Zhao Kun will no longer be a single man, but a married man.
Zhao Kun has not adapted to this kind of role change for the time being.
So he didn't sleep all night, and before dawn in the morning, he got up.
I thought about starting early and finishing the marriage as soon as possible.
I never thought that when he got up, the East Palace, which was originally busy a few days ago, now doesn’t even have a personal figure.
"What's the situation? This is?"
"Didn't I get married today? Where are the people going, shouldn't they leave first!"
When Zhao Kun thought that he was being brought down by the wedding team, he was so panicked that he was about to rush out of the East Palace.
At this moment, Taohua came over with a lantern. She seemed to have not woken up yet. She asked Zhao Kun with a blank look: "Young Master, are you going to go to the toilet? The toilet is on the left!"
"Where is the side that I want to welcome the bride!"
Zhao Kun glared at Taohua with annoyance. As soon as he praised two steps, he felt something was wrong, so he asked in confusion: "Why don't you change your clothes?"
"Why are you changing your clothes? Welcoming the bride is at night. You don't have to worry so much..."
Taohua said, yawning and softly said, "Young master got up too early, and the kitchen cook didn't get up at this time."
"You said, will we welcome the bride tonight?"
Zhao Kun was shocked.
In his impression, the wedding reception was held during the day, and I never heard of anyone who welcomed the wedding at night.
You know, the wedding party is wearing black dresses. If you welcome the bride at night, it will feel weird.
Even the love between Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing was carried out during the day when Wu Dalang was away.
Why did the Ming media marry me and want to welcome the bride at night, making the bride shameful?
Seeing Zhao Kun stunned in the spot, Peach Blossom's sleepiness finally subsided a little, and then rubbed his eyes and said to Zhao Kun: "Young Master is getting married for the first time, I will inevitably feel a little nervous. I will burn a basin of hot water for you and wash your face."
"No."
Zhao Kun shook his head helplessly.
Taohua is right. It was indeed his first time getting married. He had no experience and learned the customs of this era. Even if he was the prince, he was no exception.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Kun said to Taohua again: "You go to sleep for a while. I will sit here and wait for a while. I should start preparing when it dawn."
"I have finished sleeping, no need to sleep anymore."
Taohua said, looking inside the house, she said to Zhao Kun with some sanity, "Young master, sit inside for a while, it's cold outside, I'll make tea for you."
After the beginning of autumn, the weather is getting colder and colder.
Especially in the morning, the little girl was dressed thinly, so Zhao Kun couldn't stay here, so he could only sit in the room.
At this time, the entire Eastern Palace was silent, allowing him to calm down and think slowly.
Today I am going to welcome my bride and marry. As the groom, he is actually quite responsible.
Regardless of the significance behind this marriage, he has only seen this future Crown Princess several times, and even had few opportunities to talk, let alone know much about it.
He didn't know if Wang Ya would get used to it when she married into the Eastern Palace, nor did he know if he could take good care of her, whether her husband and wife's lives were harmonious, and the most important point was whether she would have children.
In this era, Wang Ya and Zhao Kun’s age should be considered late for marriage.
I was getting married late and I didn't want children.
It should be regarded as an alien, right?
Thinking of this, Zhao Kun couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, the peach blossoms had already cooked tea and brought it to Zhao Kun.
Seeing that Zhao Kun had no other instructions, he knelt down next to him and looked at him quietly.
It seems that I have been very busy these days and haven’t had enough sleep today. As Taohua looked at it, she fell asleep again.
Feeling the oppression from the peach blossoms, Zhao Kun looked down at her and then started to think again.
Before we knew it, it was already dawn outside.
"Everyone is careful and lightly tap the things."
"Have you expired? If you haven't gotten up, go and shout, don't waste your time..."
The sound of Fan Xiliang's command came from the yard, and it seemed that the final preparations for the wedding were already begun.
Taohua finally woke up, got up from the ground in a daze, and then looked at Zhao Kun in front of her with a blank look.
She seemed to have somehow not understand why she was sleeping here.
"Did you dream about mutton soup last night?"
Zhao Kun pointed at Taohua and laughed: "My neck is wet."
Hearing Zhao Kun's words, Taohua was so scared that she was so beautiful.
She really thought she was drooling in front of Zhao Kun, so she quickly wiped it with her hands, but found that her neck was very clean.
It was obvious that Zhao Kun lied to her, so he shyly ran out of the room and prepared breakfast for Zhao Kun.
"I should go and prepare, too."
Zhao Kun stood up and walked out of the room with his waist stretched.
In this way, the entire Eastern Palace began to make final preparations for the wedding.
Probably shortly after dawn, Fusu and Ying Yinman came.
Although Zhao Kun did not agree to them to welcome the bride, they still felt that they should go to welcome the bride with Zhao Kun.
So I came to the East Palace very early, and deliberately avoided Zhao Kun, constantly inquired about Fan Xiliang, and prepared wedding dresses for them.
After lunch, Han Xin brought Peng Yue and Wu Guang to come too.
In order to match the overall tone of wedding reception, they rode a dark horse and wore black boots.
As generals stationed on the frontier, their image represents the majesty of the Qin army. But if they were taken out on a dark and windy night, would the girls think they were here to rob the wife of the village? So when they meet on a narrow road, they would run away crying?
With strange thoughts in his heart, Zhao Kun waited for darkness in a daze.
However, before dinner was about to come, Ma Liang also came.
The wedding team at this time has almost been organized.
However, the wedding reception team must be led by a matchmaker before they can set off officially, so they still need to wait for the General of the Central Army.
Han Xin and others had already put on the gifts. At Fusu's strong request, Zhao Kun finally agreed to him join the team.
As for Ying Yinman, she had long disguised herself as a man and pulled Jiang Chao and refused to leave.
Zhao Kun is still fascinated by this guy and woman who hooked up together after a trip.
However, he still has to give Jiang Chao a face.
So he turned a blind eye and agreed to join the wedding party.
After all the preparations were done, the Central Army finally came out of the main hall after dinner in the East Palace.
"Your Highness, you are responsible for this wedding under your order. If your Highness has orders, just summon it."
The General of the Central Army was very polite to Zhao Kun, and remained humble even though he was ordered by the emperor.
Zhao Kun smiled and patted his shoulder; "You're welcome, you still need to preside over this wedding, just go through the secret process!"
"promise."
The General of the Central Army smiled and replied, "Since the time has come, let's set off!"
As he said that, he waved his hand.
Fusu won the opportunity to clear the way forward for himself and walked in front with Han Xin.
However, the teams walking in the front must hold torches to illuminate the road ahead.
In fact, the tools for lighting are not only torches, but also lanterns, but in BC etiquette, we had to hold a torch in hand.
The torch is not called a torch, but a 'candle'. It is mainly made of wrapped in wax oil and tied with reeds. It uses a torch to illuminate the way to welcome the bride, which is called "holding a candle to move forward."
Behind Fusu and Han Xin are the groom officers, Zhao Kun, and the central generals who lead the wedding team.
In addition, Peng Yue, Wu Guang, Ma Liang and others are also listed here.
As the prince of the Qin Dynasty, he was very responsible for his marriage. In addition to the wedding, he also had a real wedding ceremony.
This wedding ceremony was held during the day, the next morning.
All civil and military officials will attend by then, and the scene will be grand.
But compared to the grand wedding, Zhao Kun still likes the wedding now.
Only by welcoming him can he feel like he is not like a tool person.
