Chapter seven hundred and ninety-two thousand miles of marriage lead by a thread
Shufang Yuan, the inner courtyard of the Prince's Mansion.
The third princess, Li Yan, was sitting in front of the window in her wedding dress, looking towards the arch of Shufang Garden from time to time.
The third princess inherited Queen Nangong Meng's appearance and was already stunningly beautiful.
After being dressed up by the palace maid, she became even more beautiful and charming.
There are small round dimples in the corners of her mouth. It is now the big day for the three princesses.
The sunlight shines through the window, reflecting the snow-white and pink skin of the third princess. Because of the joy, the third princess's cheeks are slightly flushed, which is charming.
The third princess's personal maid, Ping'er, looked helplessly at the third princess who looked out the window from time to time: "Princess, can't you be more reserved? The prince-in-law is about to pass the third level. You will make people laugh at you.
!”
The third princess sat down with a hot face after hearing this: "I...I didn't look out. I just felt that the room was a little stuffy and wanted to get some fresh air at the window!"
Ping'er sighed silently when she saw the third princess covering her forehead.
I thought to myself: "Princess, your eyes are almost flying out of Shufang Garden. You just want to take a breather. Are you really a fool to treat me as a slave?"
"Princess, don't lose your royal manners. You can wait for the Prince Consort to pass the third level with peace of mind. If you do this, the Prince Consort Liu Shi Qiyun will look down upon you!"
The third princess hurriedly shook her head: "No, Sister Yun is very easy to talk to. She is not the kind of person you think!"
"Oh, the princess has indeed been poisoned by the prince-in-law's love. What will she do in the future?"
"You girl..."
"Third sister, can it be convenient for eldest brother to come in?"
Before the third princess finished speaking, the voice of Prince Li Baiyu came from outside the door.
Ping'er was stunned and immediately picked up a dragon and phoenix hijab on the side and put it on the third princess's head, which was already covered with phoenix hairpins.
"Your Highness, please wait a moment. This servant will open the door for you right away!"
After the third princess was covered with a red hijab, her pink fists nervously grasped the corners of her wedding dress. No man except her future husband was allowed to take a look at the appearance of the bride who was about to go out.
Not even the closest brother.
This is the rule. In ancient times, no matter how noble your status was, you must abide by the rules.
As the saying goes, there is no rule without rules!
Ping'er checked that there was no leakage on the third princess's hijab before slowly opening the door.
"Your servant Ping'er is here to see His Highness the Crown Prince!"
The twelve palace maids standing aside who had just dressed the three princesses also saluted in unison: "Slave, please see your highness!"
"No gift!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Prince Li Baiyu also walked in wearing a wedding dress, shaking a folding fan with jasper ribs.
When he saw the third princess Li Baiyu sitting quietly in front of the dressing table in front of the window with her head covered, there was a look of relief in her eyes.
"Oh, the little girl with a runny nose who was following my elder brother back then is going to get married. Time flies so fast!"
"Brother, Yan'er can't meet with eldest brother. I hope you won't be offended!"
"It's okay. Although I can't see her face, I believe that today's Yan'er must be the most beautiful woman in the world. You are marrying Marquis Wanhu to comfort Zhengping's wife. Although I am not particularly satisfied, my father's imperial edict has been issued. You
I am full of joy, as long as you are happy, brother, I will be satisfied!"
"Yan'er, thank you, brother. It's a pity that as the king and mother, the emperor and the queen cannot send Yan'er out like the two elders in a normal common people's family. Brother, after Yan'er goes out, please ask the elder brother to come into the palace and say something to the father, the queen and the queen, and say Yan'er
If you are unfilial, you can no longer serve them!"
Li Baiyu folded his folding fan and nodded: "Silly girl, I'm here just to spread the words of my father, otherwise I wouldn't have stepped into your boudoir at this hour!"
The third princess raised her head slightly: "Brother, what did your father say?"
"My father said that if you marry a Marquis of Wanhu to bring peace, it is better to marry him than to marry your consort. It is a folk custom to marry and obey your husband. You must not be as willful as you were in the palace. You must fulfill your duties as a wife and put your husband and son first. You must not maintain your own identity.
If you contradict your parents-in-law, you must get along well with Wanhuhou's other wives and concubines, and don't be a jealous woman!"
The third princess stood up with her hijab on her head and bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, Princess Anping Li Yan, please give me your instructions!"
"Third sister, my elder brother has brought your father's message and will be having a good chat with you when you come back!"
"Brother, go slowly. Please forgive me for the inconvenience, little sister!"
"You, sit down quickly and don't be polite to me!"
Just a moment after the prince left, Shufangyuan, which was quiet, suddenly became lively. The third princess's delicate body trembled and she looked a little uneasy as she listened to the voices outside.
Ping'er hurriedly closed the window and greeted the four palace maids. She closed the door and stopped in front of the arch of Shufangyuan with a tray.
Liu Mingzhi looked at Ping'er and the four palace maids and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the battle was not that big, so he thought this level should be very easy.
He took out a few pieces of wedding money and handed them to Ping'er. Young Master Liu smiled lightly and stared at Ping'er: "Girl, please be merciful!"
Ping'er accepted the wedding money without any courtesy and handed it to the four palace ladies and bowed to Young Master Liu: "Master Hou, I can't be the master of this slave. Whether the Master can pass this test depends on whether the Master can impress the princess."
Heartbroken!"
"This... please give me some advice, girl!"
Ping'er took the tray from a palace maid and placed it in front of Liu Mingzhi: "Master Hou, please leave a few words. As long as the princess is willing to take this piece of dragon and phoenix ring given by the Queen to wear the Marquis, she will pass.
!”
Liu Mingzhi took a breath and thought deeply.
After half a cup of tea, Liu Mingzhi picked up the wolf hair in the tray and wrote four sentences on the rice paper.
"Excuse me, girl, please send it to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Ping'er smiled sweetly: "Master Marquis, please wait a moment! I'll be back as soon as you go!"
In the room, Ping'er ducked slightly and looked at the third princess angrily: "Princess, you are too impatient to wear the dragon and phoenix ring given by the empress without even reading what the prince-in-law wrote!"
The third princess suddenly had a peach blossom look on her face. She stared angrily at Ping'er who obediently picked up the paper manuscript that Mr. Liu had left behind and started reading.
The third princess looked at the four sentences on the rice paper with infinite affection in her eyes.
May I be like the stars and the moon, and may my light shine brightly every night.
We don’t see each other growing old together, we talk at night and day together!
The third princess carefully put away the rice paper and put it close to her body. Now Ping'er had nothing to say. The affection in the princess's eyes showed that the consort's love words had been written into the princess's heart.
Gently fastening the dragon and phoenix ring to the third princess's dragon-wind wedding dress, Ping'er pulled down the red hijab on the third princess's head.
"Princess, my servant will help you out!"
The third princess nodded gently and let Ping'er support her as she walked out the door.
Liu Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the third princess finally leaving the boudoir.
Yan Rong hurriedly took the string that had been prepared by the palace maid and handed it to Young Master Liu.
"Master Marquis, a thousand-mile marriage is tied by a thread. I wish you and the princess a happy marriage!"
Liu Mingzhi took the string, which was the wedding belt, and walked toward the third princess, passing one end of the string into the princess's hand.
