Chapter six hundred and twenty first wedding day

The convoy set out from Wangshan Garden, passed Qinglong Bridge and Yuquan Mountain to the west gate of Qingyi Garden. Here, there were five cars joining the convoy in Qingyi Garden, namely Li Jingwen's No. 1 car, Wan Qiwei's No. 2 car, and three other cars taken by the general manager, assistant, bodyguard and others. The procedures for joining the convoy are also indispensable. First, the wedding convoy is parked outside the west gate one after another, then Liu Jinpeng got off the car and picked up the princess on the car, and then the Qingyi Garden convoy joined.

When she got off the car, Liu Jinpeng saw Lin Lin standing at the door wearing a big red wedding robe. Those who didn't know thought she was getting married. When she saw the wedding carriage coming, someone trotted in and announced that the band near the gate immediately began to play festive music. Liu Jinpeng first met with the etiquette officers of men and women, and then slowly walked to the gate. The red carpet was already laid, and red silk flowers and ribbons were hung on the gate.

This is the ceremony for the newlyweds to meet. Li Xiwen walked out with the help of the bridesmaid. Because the Han Empire established the country with martial arts and emphasized the spirit of martial arts, the bride did not cover up her head and came out of the gate in two or three steps. Li Jingwen and Wan Qiwei followed behind and walked out hand in hand. Wan took a hand towel to wipe her tears, but she insisted on handing her daughter's hand to her son-in-law.

There is no need to say much at this time, the next ceremony will be held later. After a few words were spoken on both sides, Li Xiwen followed Liu Jinpeng into the convertible, Li Jingwen and Wan Qiwei took the No. 1 car together, followed by the others, and the other cars were each in their place. At this time, the bridesmaids would sit in the front car, and the etiquette officers of men and women retreated to the last car in the convoy.

Because the best man is a foreign prince, he has to wait in the Great Gao Xuan Palace. He can only join the queue when the ceremony is underway, and he will basically have nothing to do in the early stage.

After getting on the convertible, he went straight to the Dagaoxuan Palace. Liu Jinpeng turned his head and looked at the princess's shape carefully. He saw that she wore a phoenix crown, earrings and jade beads, and her face was also white and pink lips, which was obviously drawn. She was also a wedding robe, and underneath it was a black and red silk robe. The so-called silk is a high-string ramie, a very expensive textile raw material. The difference between men and women is that men's robe is mainly black and red, while women are mainly red and black.

Li Xiwen also looked at it carefully and said a little intoxicatedly: "You are quite suitable for wearing dresses, so wear more in the future."

Liu Jinpeng was a lazy man and quickly declined: "It's so troublesome, it's inconvenient to put on and take off layer by layer."

Li Xiwen was in a very good mood and didn't care about him at all. She smiled and reached out to hold his right hand, and the two of them didn't talk any further. The scheduled route from the west gate of Qingyi Garden to Dagaoxuan Palace is to turn south from the intersection of Wanquanhe Road, pass Suzhou Bridge, Wanshou Bridge, Zizhu Bridge, and turn left, pass Xinqiao and Zoo directly to Xizhimen. After entering the city gate, go through Xinjiekou, Ping'anli, Xisi and then turn to Jingshanqian Street.

There were crowds of citizens watching along the way. The news of the eldest princess’ wedding was announced a week in advance, and the route had been confirmed long ago. The locations that could be watched along the way were occupied, and even the roofs of buildings on both sides of the road were everywhere. Liu Jinpeng disliked such an environment the most, and he would not say it. Moreover, he would soon be published by media around the world, which made everyone know it but it would be useless.

Thinking of this, Liu Jinpeng suddenly became lucky again. Fortunately, he did not object when he put on makeup. Now no one can recognize people from these two fair faces. Once the makeup is removed, no one will recognize him. I hope so. There is no live broadcast of the wedding this time, and the TV station will not broadcast videos and only photos. This is what Li Xiwen asked, so it is naturally to keep a low profile. However, there are so many people on the scene, and it is inevitable that someone will record it and put it online, which cannot be avoided.

The cameraman in the White Elephant Car serves the royal family, and the things recorded are naturally treasured by the royal family. Liu Jinpeng is determined to keep his thoughts, and this small requirement should not be a problem.

The convoy slowly arrived at Dagaoxuan Palace at 10 a.m. The next wedding process will take about 2 hours, and the procedure is very complicated. First, the newlyweds get off from the car, and they must come down on the same side. The groom naturally goes down first, and then helps the bride down. The two stand in front of the guard of honor. Li Jingwen and Wan Qiwei get off the car and follow closely behind. At the same time, Liu Jianguo and Wu Wenli are also wearing dresses and stand in the back of the square of Dagaoxuan Palace waiting for the newlyweds to come.

After everyone stood up, the etiquette officer signaled the band to start playing music, and then the team slowly walked past the guard of honor and entered the main entrance of the Dagaoxuan Hall. The meeting of the parents only required one bow, and only three bows were given when the wedding ceremony was officially held. Then the men and women of both sides separated, and their parents led them into the back hall to rest and prepare for the formal wedding.

Said was waiting in the apse in their national costumes, with a white linen robe and a snake-shaped crown, and two olive branches were tied to the crown. This incongruous outfit may be the true face of Egypt, which is constantly influenced by the Arab world and Greek culture, combined with the legacy of local culture and political needs, combined with such a strange shape.

Overall, Egypt still believes in Arabism, but there have been different changes in specific things. For example, when Said's father was in power, he liked to wear Turkish cylindrical hats in the early days of his reign, he changed to military uniforms without hats in the middle, and later he became a robe without hats. Changes in different periods also meant constant changes in means.

Said's dress today was also specially brought from Egypt. The snake-shaped head crown is a copy of ancient Egypt's cultural relics. When he was invited to be his best man, he explained his distinct national characteristics. Said definitely did not wear an Arab turban, so it was easy to confuse with Saudi relatives, so he chose the snake-shaped head crown.

The groom and groomsman sat in the lounge for a while and chatted. The multinational joint anti-terrorism exercise conducted in the Red Sea had come to an end perfectly. Egypt got the advanced fighter jets they had dreamed of, and the Sudan also got the second-hand warships they hoped to get, which was very happy. Only Somalia is still begging the Han Empire to garrison or build military bases. The answer given by the empire is that it is being considered.

Said currently does not recommend that the empire intervene in the situation in Somalia, where tribal separatism is very serious. The current government can only control one city in Mogadishu, and all other areas are controlled by warlords and tribal leaders. If the empire enters rashly, it may suffer a loss, which will also have an adverse impact on the empire's prestige in other African countries.

The two didn't have much time to exchange opinions on the current situation, so someone soon came to invite them to the main hall, and the wedding was about to begin.

Kang Chang's wedding took one step after another. Liu Jinpeng and Li Xiwen kept doing worship under the command of the emcee. It is said that this has been simplified a lot. If it were a wedding before the constitution, it would take at least 3 hours.

When the emcee shouted "Three bows to parents", the wedding finally came to an end. The guests from all over the country came to their senses from a trance and slapped their hands hard, regardless of whether the slap was in line with the ancient etiquette. The final part was that Liu Jinpeng pulled the front end of the red silk scarf, Li Xiwen pulled the back end, and the two walked onto the convertible one by one, preparing to start a parade around the city.

In the past, there was a princess who deliberately cancelled it because she didn't like the procession around the city. It felt really unpleasant to be seen as a monkey, but this is called equality of power and obligation. Therefore, even if Liu Jinpeng didn't like it, he had to force himself to smile and accompany his wife to wave to the cheering crowd on both sides of the road.

When passing the Gongzhu Tomb Elevator, he finally got rid of the onlookers for a while. Liu Jinpeng quickly rubbed his face and smiled bitterly: "My face is almost hard, don't think about seeing me smile tonight."

Li Xiwen is used to such a show. She has a very experienced tip: "Don't just keep smirking, just purse your lips slightly. Everyone will think that you are smiling reservedly, and no one blames you."

Liu Jinpeng was now trying to please him again: "That won't work. I thought that I would marry my dream wife today, so I couldn't stop laughing. Don't stop me."

Li Xiwen really wanted to grab him, but her clothes were too thick and she couldn't start. Only then did she realize that there were indeed inconveniences in the dress.

After going around and returning to Wangshan Garden, it was already 20 o'clock in the afternoon. The renovated parking lot of Wangshan Garden was full of various vehicles, all of whom were qualified to come to the table. In addition to the royal family's own relatives, royal representatives from various places, and elders of the nobles, there were also some old guys with high ranks who also came to the banquet in person. For a moment, there were voices of greetings everywhere, and no one noticed the newcomers.

Liu Jinpeng pulled Li Xiwen with him, and Sayed and the two bridesmaids followed behind. They went to the lounge first. It was not until the banquet was started. The best man and bridesmaids were much more relaxed now, and the rest of the job was to accompany the newlyweds to toast the guests. This toast was definitely etiquette, and no one would have any excitement at this time, so the program passed quickly.

Basically, even if the wedding ends at this stage, the next step is to have a big meal or take advantage of the time when the banquet is getting in touch with each other. Many people leave the seat with glasses and wander around. This situation is normal in royal weddings, because there are more or less contacts between the royal families around the world, but there are very few opportunities for real face-to-face. If there is something that needs to be communicated privately, this kind of wedding is the best opportunity.

Li Xinran was still very dissatisfied with Liu Jinpeng, especially when the two of them had such an embarrassing thing happened. However, Lu Junyang was very grateful to Liu Jinpeng for letting his wife return to normal family life. Moreover, after hearing from Li Xiwen that Liu Jinpeng had the skills to remove scars, Li Xinran no longer refused to have a caesarean section, which was definitely a great thing.

Li Jingyu also came, but he has always been very low-key. He has probably been underestimated recently and will definitely not be in a good mood. He is the only one who came to the banquet this time, and neither his son nor his wife came. Li Jingwen was also very unhappy about this. Li Xifeng called Li Xiwen specifically to congratulate her on finding a good man. The relationship between the siblings is much better than that of their previous generation. (To be continued.)
