Nangong Yan rode a vigorous black horse, galloping on the avenue leading to the imperial palace, the wind whistling past his ears.
After a while, the majestic imperial palace came into view.
He dismounted from his horse with quick and decisive movements, handed the reins to the guards who were coming towards him, and strode towards the imperial study.
The eunuch at the door of the imperial study, with a smile on his face, announced in a shrill voice: "The Prince of Zhennan wishes to see Your Majesty."
"Come in."
The emperor's voice was heard from inside the room, majestic yet gentle.
Nangong Yan pushed open the door and knelt down to salute as soon as he entered: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Father. I wish you good health."
"Yan'er, get up quickly, what do you want from me?"
The emperor put down his red brush, raised his eyes and asked.
Nangong Yan stood up, with a look of anticipation on his face: "Father, Linglong and I have not had a wedding since we got married. I would like to hold one. I beg for your permission."
At this time, the queen walked out of the inner room and said with a smile: "I have been looking forward to this day for a long time. This wedding must be well organized."
The emperor nodded slightly, his eyes gentle: "I was thinking the same thing. It has not been easy for you and Linglong along the way, so this wedding must be a grand one."
Nangong Yan bowed his hands and thanked him, “Thank you, Father and Mother.
I think that the wedding does not need to be too extravagant, it is best to keep everything simple while still being decent. ”
The emperor thought for a moment and said: "Although there is no need to be extravagant, there are still many necessary regulations.
Queen, what do you think? ”
The Queen nodded slightly: "Yan'er is sensible, but after all, it is the wedding of the Prince of Zhennan, and the wedding clothes and wedding banquet must be carefully considered."
As the three were talking, the emperor suddenly remembered something and shouted to the front: "Come here, the chief of Xuanqin Supervisor."
Not long after, Qin Jian came hurriedly and waited by the side after performing the ceremony.
The emperor said, "Prince Zhennan wants to hold a grand wedding. Do you think there is a suitable one in the near future?"
The chief eunuch of the imperial court quickly opened the almanac in his hand, looked at it carefully, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the tenth day of two months is a very auspicious day, suitable for getting married and getting married. It is a good day for holding a grand wedding."
The emperor looked at Nangong Yan and said, "Yan'er, what do you think?"
Nangong Yan nodded: "It's all up to Father to arrange."
Afterwards, several people discussed the specific process of the wedding and decided that the Ministry of Rites would draw up the details, the Ministry of Internal Affairs would be responsible for purchasing items, and the royal palace would also send people to assist in the preparations.
After the discussion, Nangong Yan stood up and said goodbye.
When he returned to the Zhennan Palace, he immediately told the housekeeper the news, and the good news instantly spread like wildfire in the palace.
The maids and servants gathered together and discussed excitedly.
The maidservant Hong'er's eyes sparkled, and she pulled her companion Cai'er and said, "The prince is going to hold a wedding ceremony, it will definitely be very lively!"
Cai Er nodded with a smile: "Then we have to decorate the palace well."
A Qiang, a servant standing beside him, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of the yard cleaning!"
Just when everyone in the palace was busy, Lord Bai Zhen heard the news and rushed to the Zhennan Palace.
After meeting Nangong Yan, he said straight to the point: "Linglong is the daughter of my mansion. She should return to the mansion to get married. This is the rule."
Nangong Yan frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "What the Marquis said is not without reason, but the wedding preparations are complicated, and it may be inconvenient for Linglong to run back and forth."
Bai Zhen's expression was firm: "This is the intention of our mansion. Besides, returning to the mansion to get married will also let Linglong feel the importance of her family."
Nangong Yan hesitated for a moment and told Bai Linglong about this.
After thinking for a while, Bai Linglong said softly, “I also participated in a lot of preparations in the palace, and I know a lot of details better.
I want to go back to the Marquis' Mansion three months before my wedding, so that neither side will be delayed and things can be arranged properly. ”
Nangong Yan thought it made sense, so he said to the Marquis: "Linglong wants to return to the Marquis' Mansion three days before the wedding, I hope the Marquis will agree."
Although Bai Zhen was a little touched, he still nodded and said, "Okay, then let's do as Linglong wishes."
After the news spread, Nangong Yan's brothers sent their blessings and generous gifts.
The Emperor, Nangong Ye, sent a pair of Hetian jade ruyi from the Western Regions as tribute. The jade is warm and delicate, and the carving is exquisite, implying good luck and good fortune.
The Third Palace Master, Nangong Yao, personally selected a set of golden hairpins with phoenix patterns. The hairpins were inlaid with sparkling rubies and pearls, which were dazzling and luxurious.
The Third Emperor, Nangong Yi, was not to be outdone. He ordered people to build a pure gold Kylin ornament, which was majestic and awe-inspiring, symbolizing auspiciousness and protection, hoping that his brother's marriage would be happy.
The Fourth Emperor, Nangong Yu, presented a painting of "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" by a famous artist. The painting was magnificent and symbolized the harmony between husband and wife and a prosperous and auspicious life.
These gifts were sent to the Zhennan Palace one after another. The housekeeper directed the servants to carefully receive and place them. Each gift carried the deepest blessings of the brothers and sisters.
Nangong Yan looked at these gifts with a warm heart, and looked forward to sharing this joy with his family, relatives and friends at the wedding.
The preparatory work of the two governments is also proceeding at full speed.
