Listening to the people calling "thousand years old" from the civil and military officials of the dynasty, he said "lonely", "little man", "flat body"... In just one night of banquet, Xiang Xiaoqiang really realized what "role change" is.
It made him feel dizzy and dazed.
For him, this is another qualitative change in his identity. After Xiang Xiaoqiang arrived in Ming Dynasty, he experienced two qualitative changes in his identity. The first time was from a commoner to the commander of the People's Guard, and the second time is now, from an ordinary person to the commander of the People's Guard.
Generals and ministers suddenly became princes. They were granted the title of earl, marquis, colonel to major general, and major general to lieutenant general. These were all quantitative changes, and they did not bring much impact to Xiang Xiaoqiang.
Now that he is fine, his noble position in the Ming Empire can no longer be shaken by anyone.
What also made him quite happy was that before, he was always shorter in status in front of Shi Shi Ge Ge. Because Shi Shi Ge Ge was a princess and he was just a marquis. If he hadn't married her, then strictly speaking, he would
The Fourteenth Princess must be called "Chen". In addition to "Queen", "Princess" is the highest level of female nobility, and the status is the same as "Prince" among male nobility. Now, Xiang Xiaoqiang himself
After becoming a prince, not only is he higher than her in terms of "position", but he is also not lower than her in terms of "title".
After the prince's dinner on the 24th, there was only one day left before the wedding on the 26th. On the 25th, the headquarters began to give Xiang Xiaoqiang leave, so that he could participate in the preparations and rehearse the wedding with Zhu Yourong on the last day before the wedding.
It was also on the 25th that Xiang Xiaoqiang truly gave up his military duties and experienced the sweet feeling of anticipation before marriage with Zhu Yourong.
At the weddings of emperors before the Ming Empire, the emperor always rode in a sixteen-carat sedan. But this time there has been a change. Because the Ming Dynasty is now at war with two major enemy countries, and Xiang Xiaoqiang is also the target of assassination attempts by many forces at home and abroad.
, so considering the safety of the Queen and his wife, the sedan was changed into a carriage. Since it is a carriage, it is very convenient for bulletproof modification.
This wedding car is a Chinese-style two-wheeled carriage, with bulletproof steel plates several millimeters thick added to the surrounding, top and bottom surfaces. Carved wooden body panels and silk satin are still laid on the outside. The windows are also equipped with bulletproof glass.
After such a complete set of modifications, the weight of the carriage increased sharply. The original Chinese-style two-wheeled carriage could be pulled by two horses, but now eight white horses are used to pull it, four at the front and rear. On the one hand, it maintains the
Stronger mobility, on the other hand, it is also more impressive.
When Qiu Qiu saw Zhu Yourong's eight horses, her mouth watered with love. Qiu Qiu liked horses very much, and she recognized that these eight white horses were all the top breeds among the world's most famous horses - Arabian horses. Arabian horses
It has always been known for its stunning beauty. With its snow-white coat, flowing mane, and smooth and graceful body curves, if you add a pair of wings and a sharp horn, it would be exactly the same as the "Pegasus" in the fairy tale.
.
Zhu Yourong was also very generous. Seeing that Qiu Qiu liked it so much, he immediately agreed to give her a horse and let her choose it after the wedding. Qiu Qiu was so happy that she almost went crazy, and her affection for this "sister" who had not yet married her soared to the extreme.
Zhu Yourong's horses are the best of Arabian horses. Whether in terms of appearance or market value, they are not comparable to the "Dawan horse" that Xiang Xiaoqiang bought for Qiu Qiu. At this moment, Qiu Qiu,
She is almost closer to Zhu Yourong than to Xiang Xiaoqiang.
The day finally came. On April 26, 1938 in the Gregorian calendar, which was also April 26 in the Maoyin year of the lunar calendar, Zhu Yourong, Queen Yifu of the Ming Empire, married Prince Xiang Xiaoqiang of Fuming.
The wedding ceremony was completely a traditional Chinese-style royal wedding. The entire city of Nanjing was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and drums and music were playing. A set of huge bronze chimes cast in the Northern Ming Dynasty were brought from the treasure house of the Forbidden City and placed in front of the Meridian Gate to play music.
A Ming-style palace band of several hundred people lined up on both sides of the royal road, playing strings of silk and bamboo and echoing the main melody of the chimes.
The luxurious royal car first drove out from Prince Fuming's Mansion, along Yudao Street, and slowly drove into the Meridian Gate, the south gate of the Forbidden City, amid the crowds of people and the flashing spotlights of the world's media. In the palace
After the whole ceremony was completed, at seven o'clock in the evening, the car slowly drove out from the Meridian Gate. Surrounded by drums, firecrackers, and fireworks on both sides, it slowly drove back to Prince Fuming's Mansion along Yudao Street.
At the grand wedding banquet in the evening, most of the cabinet ministers, senior generals, relatives of the emperor, envoys from various countries to the Ming Dynasty, and celebrities from Nanjing gathered in Prince Xiang's Mansion. Fortunately, Prince Xiang's Mansion was large enough, with two buildings
The main building is fully used, which is more than enough to "host" this national-level wedding banquet.
According to the traditional Chinese wedding procedure, Zhu Yourong did not attend the dinner. After the ceremony, amidst the shouts of the royal emcee "Sent to the bridal chamber", the phoenix crowned and beautiful woman was escorted into the bridal chamber surrounded by a group of palace ladies. As the groom's official, Xiang Xiaoqiang,
Became the protagonist at the banquet.
Xiang Xiaoqiang was in great spirits tonight, his face was glowing even before he drank, and he was wearing a bright red wedding robe. He was holding a cup and toasting from table to table. Every table where he toasted was filled with "congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince".
.Xiang Xiaoqiang is also a "little man". He was not used to it yesterday, but now he is addicted. Everyone can see that this young prince is really happy from the bottom of his heart. He became a prince at a young age and married again.
The most noble, elegant, beautiful, powerful and rich girl in the country... In addition to envy, jealousy and hatred, all the guests in the hall could only admire God for being so partial to her.
The wedding banquet lasted until about nine o'clock in the evening, and then the guests left one after another. One after another, the luxury cars in front of the palace left under the spotlight of reporters. At ten o'clock, the wedding officially ended.
Accompanied by Wei Zijin, Xiang Xiaoqiang walked on the large corridor with one step at a time. The soft carpet under his feet made no sound, and the wall lamps on both sides of the wall emitted soft light. Xiang Xiaoqiang's heart was beating wildly at this moment.
His mouth was dry, and adrenaline was rushing up his back. It was half nervous and half impulsive. This was not a long corridor. It seemed to him that it took him several hours to walk through it, and he secretly pinched himself in the middle.
Thigh twice.
At this moment, he needed to prove again and again that he was not in a dream.
Wei Zijin in front stopped, turned around, bowed lightly to Xiang Xiaoqiang, and said:
"Your Majesty, we are here."
Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at the magnificent closed door, and then at Wei Zijin who was saluting him respectfully, and felt very happy in his heart. In the past two years, he had tried to take advantage of Zhu Yourong countless times and wanted to take the opportunity to push her down, but he failed
It's because Wei Zijin, like this door, has never been able to succeed. Now, whether Wei Zijin or this door, shouldn't he have to take the initiative to open it for himself and welcome him in?
Sure enough, Wei Zijin gently pushed open the bedroom door, then bowed to himself and said softly:
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty is waiting for you. Please... please."
When Xiang Xiaoqiang felt happy, he gave a majestic "hmm" and said:
"Okay, I don't need to serve you anymore. Please step back."
"Yes. I will leave this slave."
As he spoke, Wei Zijin lowered his head, took small steps, and retreated respectfully.
Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at the open door, took a deep breath, and coughed.
"ah!"
A clear girlish voice flew out, and then a graceful figure sprang out from it, scaring Xiang Xiaoqiang to the point of breaking into a cold sweat. But he immediately saw clearly that this figure was Zheng Yucong.
Xiang Xiaoqiang was in shock. He was just wondering why Zheng Yucong came out of Zhu Yourong's bridal chamber. But he immediately thought: Oh, it turned out to be Zheng Yucong accompanying the bride's cousin in the bridal chamber... Well, this is reasonable.
He took a step back, returned to the corridor, and then took Zheng Yucong into his arms.
The two of them were hugging each other in the corridor, out of sight in the bedroom.
Xiang Xiaoqiang hugged Zheng Yucong tightly, hugged her face, and kissed her lip to lip, feeling her gentle body, as if this could relieve his tension at the moment.
Zheng Yucong struggled slightly twice, and then he kissed her. After a few seconds, she heard Xiang Xiaoqiang's chest beating wildly, and broke away from his "wolf kiss", trying her best to suppress the sound of gasping,
He whispered in a very thin voice:
"Tsk, you're so scared when you enter a bridal chamber..."
Xiang Xiaoqiang also lowered his voice and laughed softly:
"I don't even want to see who's inside...I won't be nervous next time I join you."
Zheng Yucong's face turned red, but he still said sourly:
"I...my good cousin is finally going to be taken over by you...by you... today. Well, you succeeded! How about it, are you happy?"
Xiang Xiaoqiang was struck by what she said, and was just thinking about how to reply. Zheng Yucong broke away from his arms, blushed, and pouted toward the bedroom door, meaning now is not the time, you have to go in quickly. If we delay here,
It's been a long time, what do you think, cousin?
Why didn't Xiang Xiaoqiang want to go in quickly? He got what he wanted and nodded quickly:
"Well... I'll go with your cousin first... Don't worry, we'll have to do it sooner or later, hehe."
Zheng Yuqing blushed with embarrassment, lightly stamped her feet, and trotted away, her footsteps completely invisible on the soft carpet, making no sound.
Xiang Xiaoqiang took another deep breath, silently recited "Open sesame", then turned around, raised his right foot, and stepped into the bedroom.
"Okay..." He closed his eyes and said in his heart, "I finally entered Zhu Yourong's bridal chamber... No, it was Zhu Yourong who finally entered my bridal chamber..."
Then, he opened his eyes, suppressing the extreme excitement in his heart, and tried to distinguish the situation in the bedroom.
This bedroom is very big, very big. It is the largest room in the entire Xiang Mansion. There are flickering candlelights in the four corners, and a faint smell of elegant sandalwood floats faintly in the air. There is a large bed in the center.
There were several layers of curtains hanging around the bed, and it was blurry and dark inside, making it difficult to see clearly.
Xiang Xiaoqiang's whole body was almost numb, as if he was drunk, and he slowly approached the big bed, thinking silently in his heart:
