The first day of March is a very special day for Zhao Yanxun.
It is today that the end of the world is coming, and it is also today that he will marry his first wife.
Early in the morning, Zhao Yanxun started various preparations, including getting dressed.
For today's wedding, he has to wear the highest-level crown dress. This outfit will give him a lot of trouble.
Wearing this outfit, the dignity is enough, but the whole person is also restrained.
If you move a little bit loudly, the jade ornaments on your body will make a "ding" sound, and even the crowns may be tangled together.
As a result, Zhao Yanxun instantly became a little daughter-in-law, and her walking pace shortened a lot.
He is getting married today, and there are several funerals in the early stages, but he is still busy.
When he was about to go out, at the other end of Yuanpinghou Mansion, Xue Baoyun was also dressed up, wearing a formal dress under the service of his maid.
Contrary to Zhao Yanxun, Xue Baoyun's dress is Zhai Yi, which is something ordinary women can only hope for but cannot ask for.
Beside her, several sisters were watching, their expressions full of envy. After all, who doesn't like nice clothes?
Of course, the value of Zhai Yi is not its good looks, but the lofty status it represents.
"Please, please wear a phoenix crown!"
A female official carefully came to Xue Baoyun carrying a tray. On the tray was an extremely luxurious phoenix crown.
Another female officer stepped forward carefully, held up the phoenix crown, drove it behind Xue Baoyun, and slowly put it on her head.
After getting dressed, Xue Baoyun almost didn't recognize herself when she looked at herself in the mirror.
The supremacy of imperial power and the majesty of heaven...are already reflected in her body.
After standing up, Xue Baoyun slowly turned around and looked at the people behind him.
At this moment, everyone bowed their heads. Even her sisters lowered their heads slightly at this moment, not daring to look at her.
"Why, you don't recognize my sister?" Xue Baoyun smiled slightly.
"Recognize... recognize..."
They are about to leave. There is a high probability that the sisters will never see each other again in this life. Xue Baoyun has endless things to say.
Everyone chatted for a while, and then a female official outside reminded that the time was up.
Accompanied by several female officials, Xue Baoyun walked towards the main hall.
At this moment, everyone in the Xue family's rooms is in the front hall, while the men are outside the courtyard and the women are in the hall.
Only Xue Jingyan, as a father, was standing in the main hall at this moment.
"The princess has arrived..."
Hearing the female officer's voice, everyone inside and outside the hall fell to their knees, including Xue Jingyan.
"Kowtow to the princess!"
Xue Baoyun was helped to sit at the top. After accepting everyone's worship, he said slowly: "No ceremony!"
It was still the king and his ministers before his father and his daughter. Then Xue Baoyun stood up again and formally said goodbye to his father and mother.
"Princess...it's time to set off!"
Walking slowly outside the hall, Xue Baoyun turned back step by step, first to remember everyone's appearance more clearly.
Her sisters all had tears on their faces, and some even cried.
Finally, Xue Baojun got on the sedan chair and was carried out of the Hou Mansion.
Compared with the two concubines, the team that greeted Xue Baoyun was significantly larger.
In addition to the officials of the Ministry of Rites, a prince of the state served as the emissary to welcome the bride. Along the way, the streets were washed with clean water and the roads were made of loess, and the roads were sealed by soldiers and horses from five cities.
Such a battle was beyond the standard for a prince to marry a wife, and it could also be regarded as the emperor's compensation for his son.
About half an hour later, it was noon. Zhao Yanxun had finished offering sacrifices in the family temple and returned to the palace before the wedding team arrived.
At this moment, Prince Yong's Mansion has been tightly sealed inside and outside by the Forbidden Army, with more than 3,000 Forbidden Army personnel mobilized.
In the backyard of the palace, Lin and Huang were sitting together, but it was Lin Jingyu who was teaching Huang Rongrong how to play chess.
"It's so difficult... I don't want to play anymore..."
Huang Rongrong played hard on the chessboard for a while, and then started playing dirty. She didn't listen to a word of her parents' earnest advice.
"Well... don't ask me to teach you again!" Lin Jingyu said calmly.
"Good sister, don't be the same as me!" Huang Rongrong looked flattering.
When she was at home, as long as she did something wrong, she would be fine if she asked for mercy.
After two days of getting along, Lin Jingyu also figured out Huang Rongrong's character.
She really couldn't imagine what kind of family environment could bring up such a... special woman.
"Okay, it's not going to stop today anyway!" Lin Jingyu still had a straight face.
The two of them were speechless for a while, and when they were bored, Huang Rongrong asked again: "Sister Lin, when will the prince come over..."
"She said she would take me to play outside the city and take me to eat delicious food..."
Hearing this, Lin Jingyu was speechless for a moment. What was this person talking to the prince about? Eat, drink and have fun?
But if you think about it carefully, it seems that it is not surprising for Huang Rongrong to say this.
The so-called "similar people" were able to chat with Huang Rongrong. Could it be that King Yong's "knowledge and ethics" were all just an act? Lin Jingyu had such a guess.
"Sister Lin?"
"The prince is marrying his wife today and will not be here for the next two days!" Lin Jingyu replied casually.
On the other side, Zhao Yanxun was standing at the second gate of the palace. On his left and right were his two younger brothers, Zhao Yanyuan, the tenth old man, and Zhao Yansong, the eleventh old man.
Looking at the large sedan brought in from the gate, Zhao Yanxun showed a smile on his face.
The two side concubines are already of such good character, I think the main concubine is not much different!
"Brother, your sister-in-law is here, why don't you go and greet her?"
Zhao Yanyuan's words made the Honglu Temple ceremony officer on the side very dissatisfied, so he reminded: "Your Highness, please do not act rashly, so as not to lose your dignity!"
"It's just a joke, it's not serious!" Zhao Yansong, the eleventh old man, replied.
"Okay, stop talking!"
Zhao Yanxun spoke at the right time and organized a quarrel among several people around him.
After a while, the bride's sedan stopped, and a ceremony officer carefully helped her out.
Because the phoenix crown was covered with red gauze, Zhao Yanxun couldn't see clearly his wife's face, but he could vaguely make a rough guess. Anyway, her appearance and figure were not bad.
As Xue Baoyun approached, Zhao Yanxun slowly walked forward under the guidance of the courtesy officer.
In the end, Zhao Yanxun took the red silk from Dahonghua, and the other end of the red silk was held by Xue Baoyun.
The two of them walked slowly towards the second door.
The courtyard inside the second gate was already filled with people watching the ceremony, including royal family members and dignitaries as well as ministers of the court.
The newlyweds passed by the crowd of spectators, walked side by side into the main hall, and knelt on the futon under the command of the ceremony officer.
At the top of the main hall, the emperor and empress sat impressively, and Concubine Duan, the biological mother, stood beside her.
"kneel……"
"bye……"
The first one is to worship the heaven and the earth, the next one is to worship the parents, and the next one is the husband and wife.
But when they bowed, Zhao Yanxun bowed very low and tilted his head upwards, so he could see the princess's face clearly.
Damn, it’s really beautiful...
At this time, Zhao Yanxun only regretted that he had not studied enough and could not think of any other words of praise.
"Maybe I should let Concubine Lin give me more extra lessons!" Zhao Yanxun said secretly.
Zhao Yanxun's bold move really scared Xue Baoyun, but fortunately, she quickly reacted without making a fool of herself.
But everyone present saw this scene, and their expressions changed in different ways.
"uh-huh!"
The voice from the emperor awoke Zhao Yanxun from his fantasy, and he immediately resumed his actions.
He thought of a lot at this moment!
It's good to have a beautiful woman by your side, but now that the apocalypse is approaching, survival is the most important thing.
While thinking about it, Zhao Yanxun's joy at the diaosi's counterattack had been reduced by half.
