Yao Niang was wearing the attire of a prince's wife. The crown of a prince's wife was a nine-Di crown, decorated with pearl peony flowers and emerald leaves in front and back, and two pearl and emerald hairpins on both sides. There was a emerald cloud on the crown, decorated with nine pearls and eleven pearl and emerald clouds. The front of the crown was decorated with nine pearl and emerald Di, all with pearl drops. The bottom of the crown was a emerald ring, decorated with gold and jewel flowers, and a pair of golden phoenixes on the top of the crown. There were two long pearl knots on the mouth, and a pair of golden hairpins. [1] She was wearing a bright red silk shirt and two dark blue shawls decorated with golden cloud and phoenix patterns.
It took a long time just to put on the dress. Fan, Zhu and others looked at her gorgeous clothes and suddenly remembered Luo Shilan's words. Luo Shilan once commented on Yao Niang's appearance before she was chosen as the prince's consort, saying that her skin was whiter than snow, her eyes were bright, and her radiance was flowing, like a gorgeous jewel.
It means that people are born with nobility and have unlimited future prospects.
Later, they were worried when they saw that Li Tianjiao had failed and had to return home to get married. However, now she is only 15 years old, but she has become a prince's princess.
Yao Niang complained to Yu: "Mother, I feel like I have a heavy weight on my head. Can you wait until before I get on the sedan chair to put it on? I am really tired."
People saw that she still looked like a little girl and felt very friendly towards her.
Fan had watched Yao Niang grow up since she was a child, so she hurried forward to coax her, "Fifth sister, this crown is not easy to put on. Take it off now and put it on again later. What if you are too late? Why don't I help you sit on the bed and you lean on it, so that your head won't be too heavy."
"Yes, your sister-in-law is right." Yu also agreed.
Yao Niang held one of Fan's arms and asked her to support her. Fan knew that her sister-in-law was acting coquettishly to her, and she suddenly felt it was intimate. She happily helped Yao Niang sit on the bed.
After she sat on the bed, everyone went out, even Shi Yu was busy outside. Fortunately, the maid brought rice porridge and crystal chrysanthemum cakes over at this time. Yao Niang finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I've been hungry for most of the day. Finally, I can eat something."
Bai Ying smiled and said, "It was delivered by Sister Yinrong herself."
Ever since Yinrong got married, she was assigned to work as a kitchen steward because of her good cooking skills. In recent years, she has been highly valued in the mansion because of her reputation as the eldest maid by Yao Niang's side.
"I knew it was her. She had served me very well before."
Especially the crystal chrysanthemum cake, which has no crumbs, is transparent, and is sweet and delicious.
"You're right. I've been so busy in the kitchen today, but it's not easy for Sister Yinrong to think of this." Bai Ying also felt that everyone was gathered together today, and even those who didn't bring wedding invitations came to ask for drinks.
What Yao Niang was thinking in her heart was that with so many guests filling the house, if her brothers did not carry on the business in the future, the family would also decline, and that would be a completely different picture. A gentleman's influence would be cut off after five generations, and future generations must work hard to not tarnish the family's reputation.
There were many people outside congratulating Luo Zhizheng. Although Luo Zhizheng looked happy, he was not ecstatic. You know, his daughter was really going to get married, and he was reluctant to let her go.
Every morning, the daughter would come over to eat with the couple. Whenever she was at home, the shoes he wore, the purses and sachets he wore, and even the fan covers were all made by his daughter. Such a filial and lovely daughter, when she entered the palace in the future, she would be the emperor and the minister, and she could not live with her husband in her parents' home like Jingrou, so how could she be really happy?
Thinking of this, he felt that his three sons were too disappointing. Otherwise, it would be great if his daughter could marry an educated man so that she could come back to her parents' home more often.
When outsiders saw that Luo Zhizheng was very dignified, they couldn't help but secretly admire that he was worthy of being the Grand Master of the Imperial Clan, and that a famous scholar had his own demeanor.
Ren was dressed brand new today and brought Shi Fang here specially. Yu remembered that Shi Fang was the only one in the family who had not arranged a marriage, so she introduced her to everyone.
Old Lady Dou was also smiling today. How could she not be happy that the Luo family had a princess? It was a pity that Jingrou could not see such a good time, and Old Lady Dou was a little sad.
Today, Dou Yuhong came as a relative of Old Madam Dou. Her husband Wang Zongmu came early. She knew that although her husband was married to her, he also maintained a good relationship with the Luo family.
This is understandable. After all, he studied in the Luo family when he was young, and he lived with Luo Jingrou for many years after marriage. Uncle Luo has always been very good to him, and even when he got married again, he still gave him generous gifts.
This was probably the sadness of being a concubine. Although she and Wang Zongmu had a good relationship, Luo Jingrou was not an ordinary person. The Luo family was now stronger than the Dou family, especially the sisters in the Luo family, who were all married well.
Lady Luo Wu was betrothed to Prince Chen, and Lady Luo Liu was betrothed to the youngest Hanlin master.
Among the three sisters of the eldest branch of the Luo family, Luo Jingrou is dignified and beautiful, Luo Yaoniang is devoted to the country and the city, and Luo Shiyu is like an orchid in the valley. It can be said that each of them has her own merits.
I heard that my mother-in-law, Lady Ruixi, once said that she originally favored Yao Niang the most, but she had no idea that she would become so successful.
Of course, this was untrue, because when Luo Yaoniang was named the prince's consort, Luo Jingrou was still alive. Perhaps he said this to warn himself to be nicer to Luo Jingrou's two children.
She also comes from a wealthy family, so how could she do something harsh to other people's children?
The mother-in-law was really overthinking it, but because of this, she was even more afraid to discipline her stepdaughter and stepson. For some things, the more one intervenes, the more trouble there will be.
Yao Niang no longer had these disturbances. She saw that the sun was about to set, so she picked up the dragon and phoenix fan beside her and prepared to get on the sedan chair. She was no longer the stepmother, but now she was getting married in a dignified way. Everyone knew that the man she married was not only of noble status but also handsome, with a dragon-like figure and a phoenix-like appearance.
No matter whether he will die young in the future, at least I am the most satisfied with myself now.
There are certain rules for marrying a prince's wife in the palace, and the prince does not need to come in person to welcome her. The Luo family knew this in advance and cleared a path for them. Twenty ministers and officials from the palace, along with forty Jinyiwei and female officials and maids, came in in a mighty manner. Bai Ying and Bai Zhi helped Yao Niang stand up.
Even though Yao Niang had been complaining about the weight of the crown on her head, she walked completely differently now that she stood up. She raised her round fan to cover her face and was helped up by the servants to say goodbye to her parents.
It was as if in a dream as I walked step by step through the corridor to the Wenhua Hall.
According to what Yao Niang had in mind, she was going to kneel down and kowtow, but this time, Luo Zhizheng and Yu both knelt down and saluted: "Greetings to Her Royal Highness Princess Chen."
In her eyes, Luo Zhizheng had always been high and mighty. No matter how difficult the people at home were or how hard they were to get along with, as long as he stepped forward, the matter would not be a problem.
But today, Daddy knelt down before her. For a moment, Yao Niang felt very unfilial, and at the same time, she felt the terror of power.
She hurriedly said, "Father, mother, please get up quickly. Your daughter can't bear it."
Now that Luo Zhizheng is the Minister of Rites, he is naturally in charge of the etiquette of the world. Of course, he should know more about etiquette: "Your Highness, this is a national etiquette. Your status is different now. We should follow this as husband and wife."
Yao Niang even said: "My parents gave birth to me and raised me. This is a national ritual that has already been completed. Please let your daughter perform it according to the family ritual, so that filial piety can be fulfilled."
Then, Luo Zhizheng and Yu sat upright at the top, and Yao Niang put the round fan aside. Only then could everyone see the appearance of the fifth daughter of the Luo family. She was tall and slender, with a dignified temperament and a face that was rare and charming.
Especially when performing formalities, she bowed gracefully with a dignified manner.
Yu personally went forward to help her daughter up. She was reluctant to let her daughter go, but seeing that her daughter had a good home, she was looking forward to her daughter getting married as soon as possible. As long as her daughter lived well, she would be at peace with everything.
"In the future in the palace, you must be more filial to the emperor and the concubine, and obey your husband. I wish you and the third prince will live in harmony and happiness, and grow old together."
Yao Niang thought of the careful teachings that Yu gave her after she was found, and she couldn't help but burst into tears and couldn't stop.
Seeing this, Luo Zhizheng was afraid that she would miss the auspicious time. He thought that women were always so fussy, so he said, "Don't worry about home. Your mother and I are doing well."
Even Luo Zhizheng was such a strong man, he couldn't help sobbing. Seeing this, Yao Niang's throat tightened and her nose felt sour: "Dad, I can't bear to leave you. These days, I made a new hat for you. You love to go out for a drink in winter, but you feel uncomfortable with the hat pressing your hair. This one I made is light and warm. You must try it."
"Yao Niang..." Luo Zhizheng really wanted to say that his daughter didn't want to get married and just stayed at home. He could support her anyway.
"Daddy." Yao Niang was reluctant to leave.
It was Yu who made a prompt decision, "Master, the chief officer and his men are here, and Jingxi is ready too."
The bride will be carried out on her brother's back, and later Luo Zhizheng and Luo Jingxi will even escort her into the palace together. They will both congratulate the Emperor and Prince Chen in Jiaotai Hall.
This is what it means to marry into a royal family; everything is based on the royal family.
How could Fan and Zhu dare to persuade their father-in-law, because he had the final say at home. But they didn't expect that their father-in-law would like their sister-in-law so much in the end. It was not the case when Luo Jingrou got married. In fact, the relationship between the mother-in-law and the sister-in-law was usually the best.
It was difficult for everyone to see this side of Luo Zhizheng, and they all thought that it was no wonder that people said that this daughter was their darling, and it turned out to be true.
Luo Zhizheng didn't say a word, but just turned his head to the side and signaled to Yao Niang that it was time to go out.
Luo Jingxi squatted down quickly. He was the eldest brother, and he could enter the palace with his father. He was wearing brand new clothes. But Yao Niang was a little worried. Although she looked slim, her clothes today must have weighed at least 20 to 30 kilograms more. She quietly asked her eldest brother: "Can you carry me?"
"Don't worry." Luo Jingxi promised.
But Yao Niang knew that Luo Jingxi was well-fed, and luckily Luo Jingyuan was there to say, "Fifth sister, don't worry, I'm here."
瑤娘在嫂嫂們扶着之下，終于放心讓羅敬熙背着，反而是羅至正和郁氏嘀咕：“老大是活該，平日天天養尊處優，連他妹妹都不信他。”
雖然提心吊膽，但是羅敬熙順利背着瑤娘到了大門外，瑤娘才放下心來：“謝謝大哥了。”
羅敬熙笑道：“妹妹，快上轎子吧。”
瑤娘執起團扇遮住面部，人被丫鬟扶進轎子裏，這才松了一口氣。
而宮中高玄策向建章帝請安之後，又同林貴妃、洪貴妃等行禮問安，這才去了皇子所，等新娘到了行合卺禮。
因為高玄策和高玄度同日成親，二人行程差不多，瑤娘一路坐着轎子，總覺得成親這日原本該喜氣洋洋的，自己應該無憂無慮的做新娘子，但卻是兵荒馬亂，每一步都很急，都想快點完成好，生怕哪裏出錯。
但外面的人看到的是蜿蜒熱鬧卻又不失體統的皇家排場，雖然清道了，但是老百姓都在看熱鬧，甚至連洪家門口都站着老百姓在看。
洪淑怡婚事不順，她已經二十多歲了，在宮裏姑母沒有替她說一門好親事，好容易出來，婚事十分忐忑。
她聽說湯慧君在前兩年已經去世了，心裏想的自己當年就是沒她那個身份，否則，不會落到這個境地。
人不人，鬼不鬼，連宣平侯世子夫人的位置都被一個五品官的庶女搶了，只是因為那姑娘十四五歲。
現在又看到了瑤娘的花轎，又是嫉妒又是感慨世事無常。
但她多年混跡于宮中，任憑心裏如何想，面上卻不露出分毫，只有她母親洪太太看出她的心中苦澀，主動道：“你放心，既然宣平侯世子不成，也不是沒有其她人選。”
“罷了，這不是女兒家該談論的。”洪淑怡回房了，心情很郁悶，但這種說親的事情終究靠的是母親哥哥，她又有什麽辦法呢。
就像當年她更看重二皇子，家中又說三皇子很好，實際上三皇子皮囊不錯，可常常用鼻孔看人為人傲慢，只是在皇帝和貴妃面前憨頑如孩童，其實精似鬼。
真是笑話，以前她還能在皇子們之間選，現下連個侯府的世子夫人都懸了。
實際上瑤娘早就已經忘記洪淑怡了，她就是這樣，人已經往高處走了，何必再和那些夠不到自己的人耿耿于懷，從她順利被選為三皇子妃後，洪淑怡就已經不是威脅了。
甚至連湯慧君也早已抛諸于腦後，因為她向來做事都是別人傷害過她，她不會忍氣吞聲，肯定會報複回去，也沒什麽遺憾。
現在她在花轎裏，已經忍不住打哈欠了。
這個時候自己居然昏昏欲睡，傳出去別人恐怕不信呢。
尋常人家成親要拜堂，但是皇家是頭一日行合卺禮，次日再去拜見帝妃，因此，瑤娘是先擡去皇子所。
高玄策今日一身親王服，他生的高大英俊，整個人別樣矜貴喜氣，而四皇子因為早年腿跛了之後，鮮少出門，個頭只到高玄策肩膀，雖然看起來也頗為魁梧，但二人卻很有些差距。
他眼見瑤娘花轎還未到，心中總是有些焦急，但面上仍舊是氣定神閑。只是在聽聞瑤娘喜轎已經進了臨安門後，身體微微向前傾。
瑤娘是聽到轎子落地的聲音之後，“刷刷刷”三箭齊射到轎子上，周圍人都拍手叫好，而瑤娘也按照要求又拿起扇子，由喜娘送人進去。
這麽快就見到人了？高玄策還有些緊張。
他看着出現在他眼前的瑤娘，戴着鳳冠霞帔，不似前世那般簡陋，胡亂把二人湊堆，心裏不知為何有些欣慰。
瑤娘當然是不解高玄策這些想法的，她一路笑着随喜娘扶着進來，現下皇子們還沒有在宮外開府，都是住在皇子所。比如大皇子就住頭所，二皇子住的地方叫二所，高玄策住的叫三所。
被扶着進了寝殿之後，高玄策正在前面等着她。
尋常人家，略有些文采的，都要行卻扇禮，比如讓新郎官念一首詩雲雲，而瑤娘則是心疼高玄策。
因為她總覺得他可能會夭折，因為舍不得讓他勞神費力。
喜娘也不敢差遣宸王，只是配合唱了交祝歌，房裏多是命婦女官都非常規矩，沒有任何胡亂說話的人。瑤娘心想這樣就很好，她特別怕那種鬧洞房的人。
據郁氏曾經說過以前鄉下成婚，老公公還得打扮得花裏胡哨，身上挂兩個醋瓶子，讓公爹背兒媳婦。
瑤娘對此表示深惡痛絕，也不喜歡許多人開沒有分寸的玩笑。當初，聽說羅敬熙和範氏成婚，還被人聽了大半夜牆角。
而她前世就更尴尬了，林家那些三姑六婆閑話不少，話裏話外拿她和羅敬柔比。
現下這種沒人鬧洞房，也沒有那些惡俗的婚俗，簡直讓瑤娘非常舒适。
“請宸王同王妃共飲合卺酒。”
兩名命婦跪着分別遞給瑤娘和高玄策一人一個金匏瓜，內裏裝着琥珀色的酒，中間用紅繩系住。
瑤娘一手執扇，另一手則端起金匏瓜，這金匏瓜做的着實可愛，小巧又精致。
高玄策見她伸手出來拿了金匏瓜，可這紅繩太短，他只好遷就過來，這樣二人垂頭吃酒時頭就湊的很近。
二人本就年輕，彼此在這樣全是紅色的氛圍之下，更顯得有幾分旖旎。
只是瑤娘不擅長飲酒，抿了一口，就覺得這酒烈，她喝到嘴裏火辣辣，但面上還不能表現出來。
喜娘見她們喝完合卺酒如釋重負，忙笑着喊道：“禮畢。”
衆人又恭敬的退出。
見人都退下了，瑤娘準備把扇子拿下來，卻聽高玄策念道：“不知今夕是何夕，催促陽臺近鏡臺；誰道芙蓉水中種，青銅鏡裏一枝開。娘子，請你卻扇。”
這是唐代賈島的催妝詩，瑤娘們想到他會吟誦這個，頓時緩緩放下團扇。
高玄策本以為她書香門第出生，又是有名的才女，哪裏知曉自己就念了一首前人所作，她就卻扇了。
扇子放下來的那一刻，高玄策見她雙目見到自己時微微張大，又緩緩垂眸，妙目流波，透出脈脈柔情，肌膚透出一層紅玉般的柔暈，其容顏般般入畫，珠輝玉麗。
“瑤妹妹，你出聲啊。”高玄策心裏歡喜，忍不住道。
瑤娘本來還在想如何開口，又聽他這般說，不由喚了他一聲：“王爺。”
“瑤妹妹，你怎麽同我生分了？”高玄策又有點委屈。
看來宸王脾氣如孩子似的，頗有一股真性情，并不願意別人客氣以待。她現下也是正在摸脈中，雖然平日看起來宸王這個家夥不動聲色，私下相處倒是挺喜歡自己的，但這個喜歡大抵就是對于阿貓阿狗的喜歡。
你就是個天仙，對于這些王孫公子也實在是算不得什麽，永遠有最好的等着他們。
因此，格外要有些手段了，這就要先投其所好。
故而，瑤娘咬着下唇，顯得有幾分無辜：“那我喚你什麽好呢？是宸王哥哥還是玄策哥哥呢？我什麽都聽你的。”
她每說一個稱呼，高玄策覺得心裏一顫，覺得酥酥麻麻的，完全失去了平日的鎮定自若。
“随便你如何稱呼我都好。”高玄策也有些不好意思。
瑤娘就歪着頭笑：“玄策。”
高玄策只覺得自己心跳都加快了，又倏地起身，轉過身去，才應了一聲：“哎。”
見他如此扭捏，這般下去，明日還得早起呢，在宮裏的日子瑤娘很清楚，幾乎每日都得很早起床。
瑤娘不禁“輕呼”一聲，高玄策趕緊回過身來看，只見她臉色發白，又見他過來，楚楚可憐道：“這九翟冠太重了，我從早上戴到現在，一時有些承受不住。”
這時，高玄策親自過來，立馬要替她取下九翟冠，只是這冠戴起來複雜，取下來也不是輕易直接拿下的，就在他親手替她取冠的時候，瑤娘又笑的如甜似蜜的看着他，“你輕一點，別弄疼我了。”
換作是別人，高玄策根本不會這麽殷勤，但瑤娘這個樣子差遣他，他不僅願意，還聽到了別的意味。
他是個正常的男子，尤其是聽到“輕點”“弄疼”這些話的時候，心裏不自覺的想着點什麽。
但他也知曉瑤娘是和他撒嬌，心裏罵自己禽獸不如，總是想歪，回過神來，還得繼續替她拿冠下來。
由于戴的時辰太久，很多頭發纏在上面，偏偏瑤娘頭發尤其多，頭發黑亮柔順似綢緞一番，還泛着光澤。
而她又特別乖巧，他在替她拿下來的時候，她就一動不動的，但是她手中的手帕洩露了她的心思。高玄策心道，她肯定還是緊張，因為自己站在這裏吧，想到這裏又有幾分得意。
瑤娘見冠快取下來了，眼睛微微閉上裝睡，她曾經照過鏡子，她的長相屬于溫柔極致的，尤其是閉上眼睛時，更增彩三分。
Gao Xuance finally took off the Nine-Di Crown and was about to speak when he heard the person beside him breathing sweetly. Looking forward, he saw Yao Niang with her eyes slightly closed, as if she was asleep. He looked carefully.
Her eyelashes are so long that he really wants to count them. Her face is also pretty, with her long black hair draped on both sides, making her look even more charming. Her lips are so voluptuous and slightly pouty that Gao Xuance can't help but want to lower his head and kiss her.
At this moment, Gao Xuance heard Yao Niang moaning, and suddenly felt half of his body numb, and his heartbeat was like a tiger that couldn't wait to jump out...
