Chapter 568 The night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber
As soon as the wedding team walked out of Chengtian Gate, they were greeted by tsunami-like cheers from the people.
As the imperial capital, Chang'an is not only the most populous city, but also a gathering of people from all over the world. The city is so majestic that it can be called the first city in the world.
The city has a permanent population of more than one million, and people flocked to watch this grand wedding.
After all, it is a legend in the world that the same person marries two princesses.
The huge welcoming team composed of thousands of people made the whole Zhuque Street become full of joy.
Twenty-four large sedans passed slowly on Zhuque Street, which was more than dozens of feet wide, and the cheers of the Chang'an people who were watching grew louder and louder.
Because the imperial court ordered the whole city to close for half a day, almost half of the people gathered here to watch the excitement.
In order to maintain public order in Chang'an City, the imperial court specially dispatched thousands of Jinwu Guards to participate in maintaining order.
Although there were Jinwu Guards guarding both sides of the road, one man every three steps and one post every five steps, they still could not withstand the enthusiasm of the people.
Especially when Yang Fan passed by with his sedan chair, the deafening shouts almost stunned Jin Wuwei.
At this time, the servants brought by Yang Laifu were also busy happily, and carts of candies, coins and other items were constantly being thrown to the crowd.
From the moment they walked out of Chengtian Gate, these small gifts were showered on the watching people as if they were free of charge, and never stopped.
Such an outrageous behavior drove the people of Chang'an City into madness.
Although Yang Fan's behavior seems very wasteful, to be honest, it doesn't cost much at all.
After all, copper coins are very bulky. Yang Fan only used 10,000 copper coins to wrap tens of thousands of these small red envelopes.
Candies and other items are all produced in-house and only cost a small amount of money.
Although these things are considered a lot in an ordinary family, to Yang Fan, who is known as the God of Wealth, they are just a drop in the bucket.
Getting married is mainly for fun.
As long as your finances allow, it's okay to have some luxury once in a while.
What's more, Yang Fan did not lose money this time.
I really didn't expect that not only were Changle and Princess Gaoyang two wealthy young women, but their dowry items also amounted to hundreds of cars.
Although most of them contain famous calligraphy and paintings, antique ceramics and the like.
If these things are sold, it will definitely be a huge fortune.
Originally, His Majesty Li Er wanted to send some gold, silver, money and silk, but Yang Fan refused.
As long as these calligraphy and paintings seemed worthless in the eyes of the ancients.
Furthermore, Datang’s treasury was not rich, and there were still many places where money was needed.
Although His Majesty Li Er may have many shortcomings, it is undeniable that he is a rare emperor.
Even though he made a lot of money from the glass business, the emperor lived a very frugal life and was not keen on luxury and pleasure.
For such an emperor, leaving money in his hands would be more effective.
It is undeniable that when Changle and Gao Yang got married, Li Er was still very capable. The emperor wished he could give them all the wealth in the world.
On the one hand, it shows his love for Princess Chang Le and Princess Gaoyang, and on the other hand, it shows his respect for Yang Fan.
Therefore, even if no money, brocade, or silk was given as a dowry, the dowry of famous people's calligraphy and paintings would fill hundreds of carts.
This is His Majesty Li Er's way of showing his attitude, telling the world his affirmation of Yang Fan in this way that shocked everyone's attention.
Of course, it is also to cheer for Yang Fan’s upcoming trip to Jiangnan.
Yang Fan rode a tall horse and moved forward slowly under the guidance of Wang Xuance.
I looked back at the endless procession of sending off and welcoming brides, and suddenly I felt that I really didn’t want to fight anymore.
If these mountains of jade, calligraphy and painting were converted into money, it would not be an exaggeration to say that one could be as rich as one's country!
No wonder everyone in ancient times was proud to marry a princess.
As long as you marry a princess, ordinary people can save a few lifetimes of struggle.
While riding on the horse, Yang Fan's thoughts were a little far away.
While constantly returning gifts mechanically, you must also keep smiling at all times to maintain your own image.
Only then did Yang Fan realize that people would get cramps if they laughed too much.
I kept sighing in my heart that it was really difficult to be a groom's official in ancient times, especially one with status and status.
Cheng Chumo, who had been following him, suddenly came closer and laughed softly: "Brother, this wedding is so noisy. How about we walk around Chang'an City a few more times?"
How many more laps should you walk?
Yang Fan, whose smile was already a bit stiff, suddenly felt bad.
After laughing for so long, I was already upset and angry. This guy still wanted to show off. It was just a shame.
He glared at Cheng Chumo fiercely, wanting to give this guy some color, but in the end he didn't dare.
I have no choice, today is my big day, I can't beat this guy violently, right?
What's more, tonight is the night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber, and a spring night is worth a thousand dollars. If this guy takes revenge during the bridal chamber, wouldn't he delay a good thing?
Thinking of this, Yang Fan decided to compromise and could only turn his head to look at Chai Lingwu on the other side.
This guy was also riding a horse and waving to the crowd constantly, looking very happy like a human and a dog.
Yang Fan couldn't help but smile bitterly. It turns out that laughter is also an art!
The procession to greet and see off the bride was huge. They did not leave Chengtianmen and return directly to the Yang Mansion. Instead, they took some detours and passed through most of Chang'an City.
The purpose is obvious, just to show off.
Originally, he could return to the Yang Mansion in one hour, but it took Cheng Chumo these idiots two hours to return to the Yang Mansion.
At this time, firecrackers were fired again in front of the Yang Mansion, and the scale was even grander than when the wedding was held.
For a time, the whole street was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, the deafening sound shook the sky, and the entire city of Chang'an trembled with the sound of firecrackers.
The people and officials who were watching were all amazed, Yang Fan was really a tough guy.
How much does it cost to keep setting off these firecrackers?
At first, everyone was a little jealous because the two princesses were getting married together. Now that they think about it, Yang Fan not only has outstanding achievements, but he is also extremely wealthy.
Only such people can be worthy of the two high-ranking princesses.
Changle and Princess Gaoyang sat side by side in the sedan chair.
Along the way, I was deafened by the cheers of the people and the sound of firecrackers.
However, both of them felt happy in their hearts.
Girls always like to compare, and who doesn’t have vanity?
Yang Fan married them with such a grand ceremony, which slightly relieved the nervousness of the soon-to-be wives.
Princess Gaoyang had a somewhat out-of-touch personality. She wanted to open the sedan curtain to see what was going on outside, but she was afraid of being seen and causing criticism, so she had to suppress her curiosity.
However, it can be seen from her shining eyes and slightly raised corners of her lips that she is in a very good mood.
In her opinion, the fact that Yang Fan cared so much about her was not in vain for her deep love for him, nor was it in vain for her efforts to persuade Sister Changle to marry together.
The somewhat vain Princess Gaoyang was very satisfied with such a grand ceremony. She turned to Princess Changle and asked: "Sister Changle, it seems that guy treats us well. This wedding is too lively, what do you think?"
"Yes, I really didn't expect that Mr. Lang arranged it so grandly. We are so lucky." Princess Changle nodded and sighed.
In fact, Princess Changle was also shocked inside.
When she married Changsun Chong, His Majesty Li Er specially raised the standards of the wedding, but the excitement was not even half of what it is now.
I really didn’t expect that Yang Fan would hold such a grand wedding in order to marry them. How could she not be moved?
Princess Changle looks gentle and virtuous, but in fact she is arrogant.
There was originally a lot of criticism because the two of them got married together, but now there is nothing to complain about.
Of course, the lively wedding process is only a small part of the wedding!
Throughout the ages, the marriage ceremony has been the focus of marriage.
Worshiping ancestors, worshiping heaven and earth, paying respects to high halls, holding banquets, entering the bridal chamber...these traditional projects are the most lively.
The two princesses were of noble birth and were very particular about etiquette.
The most senior official of Zongzheng Temple was responsible for the entire wedding process, taking into account both royal etiquette and folk traditions.
Although the whole wedding process is complicated and extraordinary, it is also orderly.
Amidst the blessings of everyone, this romantic and solemn ceremony came to an end.
During the whole process, the two princesses meekly followed the traditional wedding etiquette like ordinary young wives, and completed it meticulously according to the instructions of the emcee.
No matter how hard and tiring it was, there was not a single word of complaint, nor was there any impatience.
Even when he knelt on the ground to offer tea to Queen Mother Xiao, she did not complain at all, and was completely free of the arrogance and willfulness of a royal family.
"Changle, Gao Yang is really a virtuous and virtuous wife! Wannian County Duke is so lucky!"
Everyone watching the ceremony was secretly amazed in their hearts.
No one expected that the noble princess would be so well-behaved, and that she would be so kind and humble when she arrived at the Yang Mansion.
You know, in the past, when a princess got married, due to her status, it was never the custom to kneel down and serve tea.
After all, where does the identity of the princess lie?
Seeing that the two girls were so well-behaved and sensible, the corners of Yang Fan's lips raised slightly.
It seems that the arrogant Princess Gaoyang in the original history was completely tamed by herself.
But Yang Fan didn't want his proud smile to be seen by Princess Gaoyang.
Her Royal Highness the Princess' eyes widened and her silver teeth clenched together secretly.
If Princess Changle hadn't been persuading her about such cumbersome etiquette, the arrogant Princess Gaoyang would have given up her career long ago.
He had no choice but to vent his frustration on Yang Fan.
When the three of them were saluting, Princess Gaoyang directly used the two-finger Zen technique to pinch a little bit of flesh.
"hiss!"
Yang Fan's face twitched as he was suddenly attacked.
But he couldn't show it, so he could only shout in a low voice: "What are you doing? Let go quickly!"
Princess Gaoyang had a sweet smile on her pretty face and said proudly: "Who told you to laugh at me? Huh, don't even think about making a fool of yourself, sister Changle and us!"
This arrogant little princess is mentally ill!
Yang Fan had no choice but to endure and let her vent.
It was early in the morning when the wedding reception started, and by the time the wedding ended, it was already a little early in the morning.
Because there were so many guests, tables of flowing seats had to be placed on the street.
It doesn’t matter whether you know him or not, and whether you have received gifts or not, as long as he comes to bless you, you will have a good meal and a good meal.
Fortunately, Wu Meiniang was well prepared. The rare stir-fried dishes were all full of color and aroma, and the fragrant and delicious drinks made people linger. The guests almost swallowed their tongues, and the atmosphere suddenly reached its climax.
The banquet lasted for more than two hours. By the time the guests dispersed, it was already midnight.
The spirit has been tense all day long, and even as strong as Yang Fan, he still feels exhausted.
Wu Meiniang and her servants can only clean up the mess left.
At this point, more than half of the wedding has been completed. As for the final wedding night, no matter how tired Yang Fan is, it is impossible for him to find someone to do it for him.
Originally, Cheng Chumo and others wanted to have a wedding ceremony, but due to Yang Fan's deliberate "calculation", they were all beaten down before they could survive to the end.
No one would bother him anymore, Yang Fan planned to steal the incense under the red tent and experience the wedding night for the first time in his two lives.
But when he came to the backyard, Yang Fan was in trouble!
There are two brides, and they are arranged in two rooms. I don't know where to go first.
With no choice, Yang Fan could only choose according to age.
Because he drank a lot, Yang Fan's steps were a little sloppy at this time.
As soon as she entered the bedroom, she saw Princess Changle's two white little hands tangled together.
Her two thin red lips pursed slightly, her bright eyes quickly glanced at Yang Fan, and then she quickly lowered her head.
Princess Changle obviously didn't expect Yang Fan to come to her first.
However, Yang Fan was immediately dumbfounded.
At this time, Princess Changle's red hijab had long been removed, revealing her exquisite bun. Her silky hair was covered with pearls, making her whole person look noble, dignified and beautiful.
The bright red skirt outside has also receded, leaving only the pink light clothes.
At this moment, Princess Changle was sitting restlessly on the edge of the bed, her little feet under her skirt kept swinging to relieve the pressure in her heart.
Yang Fan felt a little funny in his heart.
It seems that Her Royal Highness the Princess is very nervous!
Hasn't Her Royal Highness the Princess already been married once? Is there any need to be so nervous?
The personal maids serving Princess Changle are twins.
Seeing Yang Fan come in, the two of them blushed slightly and saluted together: "I'd like to greet you, my consort."
As Princess Changle's personal maid, she naturally had to marry along and become Yang Fan's concubine.
The two of them look exactly the same and wear the same palace clothes, which makes them even more imaginative.
Looking at the shy Princess Changle and then at the small and exquisite twins, Yang Fan's heart skipped a beat.
No wonder everyone wants to marry a princess. The treatment is so good. Not only does she get a generous dowry, but she also gets one for free. It’s a huge profit!
Princess Changle originally wanted to wait for Yang Fan to speak before speaking, but seeing this guy staring blankly at her, she had no choice but to stand up and say, "Li Zhi has met Lang Jun!"
Although Princess Changle is a high-ranking princess.
However, Yang Fan is marrying a princess, not Princess Shang, so the title is naturally different.
If another princess were to marry, the status of the prince-in-law would not be much better than that of the son-in-law who came to the house in later generations.
Nowadays, when Yang Fan marries a princess, the status of the couple can be known from the names they use.
Of course, it does not mean that Yang Fan married the princess just to suppress the other party and deliberately bully the other party!
But it is to eliminate the worries of identity and make the relationship between husband and wife more harmonious.
Princess Changle also knows the relationship between the two.
I didn't want to put on any airs of being a princess, so naturally I wouldn't care about these frivolous things.
Yang Fan grinned and looked at the effervescent Princess Changle, feeling extremely beautiful in her heart.
Princess Changle is 70% similar to Changsun Wugao, but she has less experience and accumulation of life than Changsun Wugao.
Yang Fan looked a little confused. If Princess Changle and Changsun Wugou were put together, she might think that they are two sisters!
If such a day really happened in the future, that scene made him really excited.
But the most important thing is to deal with the present situation, so Yang Fan clasped his fists and returned the greeting: "My lady is so beautiful, I thought I saw a fairy!"
Yang Fan praised him so much that the two maids burst out laughing, covering their mouths and bending over in laughter.
Although Princess Changle was full of joy, she was ashamed to see such naked praise and lowered her head again.
However, Princess Changle was more nervous about the following ceremony.
Although it was the second time to get married, the wedding night was the first time!
Ever since, Princess Changle's heart was beating like a little rabbit.
One of the four great joys in life, how can it not make people nervous and looking forward to it.
