Tianwu still had a mouthful of braised pork in his mouth when he suddenly heard Yun Fei say this. The word "home" in particular made him choke with emotion and speechless.
Home, this word is very unfamiliar to him. He grew up in the palace, with one father and many mothers. Later, he became an emperor, with a country and a world, but he still didn't have a home. He also married so many women into the palace. Yes, this place is called a palace, not a home. The women in the palace are all his, but before he met Yun Pianpian, he didn't think any of them were worthy of the title of "wife". Including the queen.
The happiest day of his life was when he left the palace more than 20 years ago and met Yun Pianpian from the mountain village. If he didn't have to take care of the world, he really wanted to live in the mountains for the rest of his life, guarding this woman and the green mountains and clear waters forever.
He swallowed the braised pork in his mouth and looked up at Yun Fei. The woman still looked awkward and ignored him, but not as cold as before. She would say to him, "Was your family poor when you were a child? You eat meat like crazy when you see it, not afraid of choking to death." After that, she personally pushed a cup of sour plums in front of him. Although it was very rude and a little angry, it was for his own good.
Tianwu wiped his face again, smiled, and said nothing. He picked up the cup of sour plums and took a sip. Then when he picked up his chopsticks, he no longer picked up meat dishes, but ate a lot of vegetables.
"Then I'll come home for every meal from now on." Tianwu thought happily, "Can I stay at home at night?"
Concubine Yun did not say anything more, and only said: "I am used to living alone, and I don't want anyone to share this quiet place with me."
Tianwu didn't force it. After all, compared to the years when they didn't see each other, the current situation was much better. He couldn't ask for perfection all of a sudden. So he nodded, "I won't come, I won't come. It's up to you. I'll come over for three meals a day. Don't get tired. Just let the servants do it."
Concubine Yun rolled her eyes at him and said nothing, but she no longer exuded the cold air that kept people at a distance. She just said softly, "Ming'er and Ah Heng are getting married. My Ming'er is finally getting married..."
The wedding sedan from the southern border entered Jueping City before dusk. There was a time difference between the desert and the Central Plains. The sun was still very strong in the evening, just like during the day.
The joy did not stop along the way. After entering Jueping City, firecrackers were immediately heard, mixed with the laughter of the people, and waves of blessings came one after another, and they did not stop until they arrived at the door of the house arranged by Xuan Tianming. Wang Chuan said to Feng Yuheng outside the sedan chair: "Miss, it's really lively. The people are carrying baskets with things they brought from their homes as gifts. They said they would give them to you and His Highness the Ninth Prince as a wedding gift."
Huang Quan also said: "Although the poor family has no money, their kindness is extremely valuable. Back then, Jueping City did not accept us, but it was the young lady who had the most ways to make them all obey and obey with ease."
Feng Yuheng smiled softly behind her wedding veil, but she said that it was not easy at all. She had put a lot of thought into retaking Jueping City. If she took a wrong step, it might lead to the opposite effect. Killing the enemy in battle was a skill, but winning back people's hearts was an art!
While thinking, a voice of "lowering the sedan chair" came into her ears. Then, the wedding sedan chair was gently lowered, steadily, without any shaking. Feng Yuheng had no experience in getting married. She had never been married in her previous life, and this life was her first time. She just heard that before the bride got out of the sedan chair, the man would show his power and give the new bride a warning by shooting an arrow at the sedan chair from outside the sedan chair. Of course, the arrow must not hurt the bride, most of the arrows are wrapped with red cloth, and the groom will hit the sedan chair frame, that's the idea.
I also heard that people have to jump over a fire basin, which means burning all the unlucky things and having a prosperous life from then on.
In addition, there may be more obstacles in a home with parents-in-law. Most of the time, they are to let the woman know that once she enters the house, she will be a daughter-in-law. No matter how favored a legitimate daughter you are in your parents' home, you must serve your husband well and be filial to your parents-in-law. You must not have any unfaithful thoughts. Even if you are with your parents' home, you have to distance yourself from them and focus all your attention on your husband's family.
However, her parents-in-law are not here, so she won't have to be diligent in fulfilling her filial duties in the future. After all, they are in the palace, and it's not good for her, a daughter-in-law, to go to the palace all the time. These obstacles should be avoided. Feng Yuheng thought, I heard that in ancient times, women had to open their faces before going out, which means using silk threads to twist the hair on their faces, which means that she will be a wife after getting married, and no longer a lady in the boudoir. She always felt that such behavior was very painful, and she was still worried, but she didn't expect that the sedan chair was carried to the door of the new house, and no one mentioned whether to open her face or not. I think Xuan Tianming knew that she didn't like those mundane etiquettes, so he made special instructions!
She was just daydreaming when suddenly she felt the curtain of the sedan chair in front of her being lifted up. It seemed that someone was standing in front of her, looking at her with a smile. Even though she was wearing a veil, she could still feel that smile, which was intense and direct.
The girl blushed and lowered her head slightly. Then she heard a chuckle coming from outside. The man whispered, "Little girl, are you still shy?"
The voice was naturally Xuan Tianming's, but someone beside him said, "Your Highness, according to the rules, you should shoot the first arrow."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Tianming shouted, "Why shoot arrows? My princess should be on equal footing with me. There is no need to show off your power." After saying that, he stretched out his hand towards the sedan chair, "Hengheng, give me your hand."
The phrase "on an equal footing" showed the attitude of the Ninth Prince Xuan Tianming, and also explained the status of the bride Feng Yuheng. Everyone who heard it envied it. To be able to get a word of "on an equal footing" from one's husband was a luxury that many women dreamed of but could never get in their lifetime!
Feng Yuheng handed over her little hand, which was tightly held by a big hand. She stood up, walked out of the sedan chair, and stood beside him in her wedding dress made of her beloved brocade. People were stunned! This was simply the most perfect picture in the world, as if all the beauty in the story was concentrated in one place, without any flaws. Everyone couldn't help but applaud and express their deep blessings from the bottom of their hearts.
Feng Yuheng heard Xuan Tiange's voice and said, "My ninth brother is so handsome!"
She chuckled in her wedding veil, but she heard Xiangrong say, "My second sister is so beautiful." Well! One is obsessed with her brother and the other is obsessed with her sister. She probably knows where Xiangrong will end up, but she doesn't know who Xuantiange will end up with. I hope she doesn't marry too far away! At least the sisters can see each other often and have each other to rely on.
She was daydreaming when suddenly she was lifted into the air and picked up by the man next to her. She was so scared that she quickly stretched out her arms and wrapped them around his neck, but her heart was pounding violently.
At the same time, the crowd around was also exclaiming, and some people said: "What is the Ninth Prince doing? Is he going to carry the bride into the house? This is against the rules!"
Xuan Tiange's voice came again: "What are the rules? There are never any rules in my ninth brother's place. What's more, our Ah Heng is not an ordinary new bride. She is a woman who can fight on the battlefield and forge new steel. She deserves this hug from my ninth brother!"
Her words were unanimously agreed by the people. The ancient Shu people realized that the legendary Dashun created something called "steel", which was better than the iron essence of the Sui Dynasty. Cutting iron essence was like cutting mud. It turned out that the thing called "steel" was made by Princess Ji'an! Such a woman deserves more than a hug from her husband! The women who came to participate in the ceremony also figured it out. It turned out that if you want your husband to promise to be on an equal footing, you have to show your real ability, not just a pretty face and a powerful family behind you.
Feng Yuheng was held in Xuan Tianming's arms, listening to the people around her talking to each other, and her lips were pursed up all the time. She whispered in Xuan Tianming's ear: "Thank you."
The man was stunned, then replied: "Between us, we shouldn't say thank you. Hengheng, this is what you deserve."
The groom carried the bride into the mansion. Although this was a temporary residence in Jueping City, it was meticulously renovated from inside to outside in order to complete this grand wedding. Although it could not compare with the grandeur of the mansions in the capital, nor the exquisiteness of the small residences in the south of the Yangtze River, it was full of the exotic customs of the desert. Even the joyful music played in the mansion sounded so fresh, which was very much to Feng Yuheng's liking.
Xuan Tianming carried the person all the way to the wedding hall, and when he put her down again, the master of ceremonies had already announced the official start of the wedding ceremony.
That was Xuan Tianhua's voice, unique in the world, as ethereal as an immortal, yet so sacred. Feng Yuheng heard Xuan Tianhua shouting, "Bow to heaven and earth!"
Xuan Tianming, who was beside him, helped him turn around, knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of the hall. She followed the etiquette and was also sincere.
"Bow to your parents."
Feng Yuheng didn't know who to bow to, because since her parents weren't here, it wouldn't be appropriate to bow to anyone! But Xuan Tianming still pulled her back, knelt down facing the front, and kowtowed.
Perhaps he guessed her doubts, and when he stood up, he whispered in her ear, "You are our three aunts."
Feng Yuheng was moved by the indescribable feeling in his heart. He was so surprised that his parents came to pay respect to his aunt. However, here, only Xu, Qin and Miao were considered elders. As the saying goes, the mother's uncle is the most important. If you must pay respect, it's not a bad idea. But they are relatives from her mother's family after all. After a woman gets married, she has to pay respect to her parents and her husband's family! What's more, Xuan Tianming is a prince. It's really a strange thing for a prince to pay respect to his wife's aunt from her mother's family.
But Xuan Tianming bowed without hesitation, and bowed willingly. Not only Feng Yuheng, but everyone present had to admire the prince's magnanimity, and once again envied Feng Yuheng's importance in the Ninth Prince's heart.
After worshipping heaven and earth and parents, the next worship is that of husband and wife.
When the Seventh Prince Xuan Tianhua called out the four words "husband and wife bow to each other", Feng Yuheng suddenly felt a sense of holiness in her heart. She felt that this bow was the most important part of the ceremony. After bowing, they would be real husband and wife. She was no longer a girl waiting to be married, but the wife of a prince. At this moment, the years she had experienced as a girl flashed through her mind like a movie replayed in the future...
The bow lasted for a long time, and neither of them wanted to stand up until they heard laughter from the side. Xuan Tianming then pulled Feng Yuheng to stand up straight. And Xuan Tianhua also said another key sentence at the right time, "The ceremony is over! Send her to the bridal chamber."
Feng Yuheng's heart tightened. She could hear that when the last four words came out, the voice of the Seventh Prince Xuan Tianhua trembled...
