Chapter 91 Wedding Ceremony
At this time, His Majesty Rong Yue had already been waiting in Prince Yan's Mansion. Seeing how eager he was, Crown Prince Rong Jinyou's eyes dimmed silently. Prince Jin Rong Jinyu, who was bored and drinking tea on the side, was very indignant. Why didn't his father go to his Prince Jin Mansion when he married his principal wife, and the concubine Su's Mansion didn't hold a banquet. Rong Jinchen was really enviable.
But no matter how his heart was in turmoil, he dared not show it on his face.
Yu Fuhai was beaming with joy and said cheerfully: "Your Majesty, His Highness and the Princess are coming." He smiled so hard that his eyes could not be opened, and said with a grin.
Rong Yue also smiled. It was worth it that he came half an hour early. Thinking that Su Ziyun must have tears in his eyes today, he smiled even more. It turned out that it was better to marry a daughter-in-law. Marrying a daughter was not good at all.
Su Zhenzhen listened to the joyful sound of gongs and drums outside, and a smile appeared on her lips involuntarily, and she clenched the white jade ruyi in her hands.
Su Zhenzhen tried hard to maintain her elegance and dignity. The phoenix crown on her head was really heavy, and she couldn't help but think: the whole process would take at least half an hour. By then, would she still be able to keep her neck?
The bridal sedan was dropped off in front of the main hall of Prince Yan's Mansion because Rong Jinchen felt sorry for her. It was such a long distance, and Prince Yan's Mansion was very large. Wouldn't it be useless to walk alone with such a heavy phoenix crown on her head?
She held a ruyi in one hand and a red silk in the other. The Yunyan Ruyi Shu brocade Dengyun shoes on her feet were extremely luxurious and graceful. Rong Jinchen subconsciously accommodated her pace and walked carefully. The two of them entered the main hall.
The main hall was filled with joy, with big red "囍" characters and red silk everywhere. A large group of people were all dressed neatly in court robes, with joyful smiles on their faces.
Everyone saw a pair of fairy lovers with peerless beauty and otherworldly temperament walking slowly towards them. The woman had eyebrows as dark as distant mountains, eyes like autumn water, and a bright look. She was graceful, elegant and generous, with a hint of otherworldly fairy air, as if a fairy from heaven had descended to the mortal world, adding a bit of popularity.
The sound of inhalation came one after another, and everyone present couldn't help but have an idea: With such a peerless beauty, it wouldn't be too much for His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan to want to be with her for the rest of her life.
Rong Yue's eyes were smiling, but he couldn't help but look dazed for a moment. Then he looked at the beautiful couple in front of him with doting eyes. There was a small red flower pinned on his dark gold nine-dragon playing with a pearl court robe.
The Minister of Rites skillfully felt sorry for himself, and then became the one who sang the blessing. After singing the eulogy, his voice was still very loud: "Bride and groom, bow to heaven and earth." This is the etiquette of folk worship. The Minister of Rites was forced by His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan QAQ
Su Zhenzhen turned around and glanced at Rong Jinchen, who had a smile on his lips. She also bowed towards the bright sky outside the house. Fortunately, her phoenix crown was very stable and the slight movement did not affect it.
In this dynasty, weddings are held in the daytime, and the bride does not need to cover her face with a veil, so Su Zhenzhen does not need to go hungry for a whole day.
"Bow to your parents." The Minister of Rites couldn't help but look at His Majesty who was sitting at the top seat and the tablet of the late Queen Yuan Yi next to him. Your Majesty, could you be happier?
Looking at the sweet couple, Rong Yue couldn't stop smiling, his eyes were warm, and his eyes were full of relief and joy.
The Minister of Rites sang again: "Husband and wife bow to each other." The smile on His Royal Highness Prince Yan's face was so unbearable and so worthless.
On second thought, if he could marry a wife with such good looks and family background, he would smile even more happily.
Rong Jinchen exhaled imperceptibly, his heartbeat was exceptionally fast, sweat appeared on his palms, and his eyes were fixed on the stunning girl opposite him. Su Zhenzhen's heartbeat also quickened.
When the couple bowed to each other, the smile on Rong Jinchen's lips teased her involuntarily, and Su Zhenzhen couldn't help but reveal a reserved smile.
"The ceremony is over, and she will be escorted to the bridal chamber." The Minister of Rites retired after completing his mission.
Su Zhenzhen was escorted by maids to the main courtyard in the backyard. In the past few months, Rong Jinchen had asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to demolish the extra courtyards, leaving only a few rooms for their children to live in. The extra space was used to transplant many crabapple flowers for Su Zhenzhen, and a martial arts training ground was also built.
The main courtyard is named Langhuan Garden, and the plaque was written by Rong Jinchen himself. Langhuan means fairyland. He thinks Qingqing is a fairy in the sky and should live in the blessed land of Langhuan.
Rong Jinchen also changed his Qinghui Courtyard into Fuyun Pavilion. I guess he won't live there anymore. His perverted nature is really unbearable to watch.
The red dragon and phoenix wedding candles, as thick as an adult's fist, were shining brightly, and the festive red filled the room with brilliance. The rosewood bed that had been moved in ahead of time was covered with a red dragon and phoenix woven with gold silk quilt with the image of "hundreds of descendants", and on it were some auspicious dried fruits such as red dates, longans, peanuts, etc.
There were some ice cubes on the ice jar inside, which was filled with the goose pear fragrance that Su Zhenzhen liked.
She was led to sit on the bed, carefully avoiding the prickly dried fruits, and Rong Jinchen also sat down next to her.
Following behind them were a large group of princes, princesses, royal brothers and princesses, filling the entire room.
Nanny Quanxi smiled brightly and said, "The bride and groom drink the wedding wine together, and they will love each other for a hundred years." There was no other way, she could get too much, a full two hundred taels of silver! It was her income for several years, and she had to work hard.
Baizhi and Luwu were holding a sandalwood tray in their hands, on which was a white jade wine pot and a white jade wedding cup. The cup bodies were connected and were small and exquisite.
Rong Jinchen reached out and picked up the white jade wedding cup. Due to the open-minded atmosphere in this dynasty, the status of women was not as low as that of women in the feudal society after Su Zhenzhen's time and space. Even the wedding wine cup was replaced with a separate cup of wine.
The wedding wine cup means the connection between husband and wife, and has a strong symbolic meaning, but there is still a priority. After all, it is a horizontal wine cup connected to the cup body, so there must be a priority.
Su Zhenzhen's snow-white face flushed with heat, her skin was burning hot, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her gaze was cast on the wedding wine held by the man's slender hands with distinct joints.
Rong Jinchen's voice was very gentle, with an unconscious smile, "Qingqing, come here." He reached out and took her small hand, interlaced their arms, suddenly closing the distance between them, and star-like eyes staring at her without blinking.
Su Zhenzhen bit her lip, which was secretly moistened by her, and looked very tempting. Her white teeth bit on the lip flesh, as if she could squeeze out juice, tempting people to take it. She was a little nervous and was about to bring the white jade wedding wine glass to her lips. She didn't notice that when the wine was poured towards her, Rong Jinchen couldn't drink it.
Just as Nanny Quanfu was about to remind her, she saw His Royal Highness Prince Yan quietly move the white jade wedding wine cup towards the Princess, and she instantly closed her mouth.
The palace prepared a sweet fruit wine that was not intoxicating. Su Zhenzhen drank more than half of it before she realized something was wrong and hurriedly moved towards Rong Jinchen with a blushing face.
His dark eyes were deep and his thin lips were tightly pursed. He actually drank his own glass in one gulp, and then took a sip of the remaining fruit wine from Su Zhenzhen. He held her neck with his big hands and leaned over to kiss her.
"Wow! His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan is truly a role model for us!" Someone boldly relied on his good relationship with Rong Jinchen and poked the person next to him with a wink.
The princes, princesses, princes and princesses looked at the newlyweds in shock, and at the same time, they inevitably felt envious.
Su Zhenzhen's face was as red as a boiled shrimp. She had never dreamed that Rong Jinchen would be so...
