Chapter 308 Wedding (Part 1)
In the early morning, the streets were cleaned and watered, and red ribbons and flowers were tied to the trees all over the city. The red ribbons fluttered in the wind, and the air was filled with a lively atmosphere.
A long wedding procession was full of banging and drums, and the air was filled with joy.
Male guests riding tall horses came over in rows. They were dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked very energetic, attracting countless people's attention.
People lined the streets to watch the excitement. "Wow, these young guests are so handsome and noble. It's obvious that they come from noble families."
"Of course. The first few are the grandsons of the elders, the next few are the legitimate sons of the six ministers, and after that are the descendants of noble families. They all have prominent family backgrounds, and the most important thing is that they are good-looking and have a strong presence."
"The last time the princes got married, there wasn't such a grand procession."
"Yes, the civil and military have always been at odds with each other. It is rare to be able to invite people from different camps to come together to welcome the bride."
Passersby heard it clearly and their eyes lit up.
"The descendants of all the civil and military officials have gathered here. What a grand occasion! Who is getting married today?"
The person next to him looked over and said, "Are you from out of town? If you were local, who wouldn't know that today is the wedding of Prince Rui and Princess Jinyun?"
The passerby suddenly realized, "Yes, I just entered the city. It turns out to be the wedding day of these two people. I am quite lucky to catch up with this grand event."
The enthusiastic people pointed to the most magnificent carriage in the middle of the team. Its golden nanmu frame and windows inlaid with gold and gems all showed an extraordinary dignity.
The carriage is carved with gold and sparkles in the sun.
Four Arabian horses marched side by side, the sound of their hooves in unison.
"That carriage has the emblem of Prince Rui's palace on it, and Prince Rui is sitting inside it, look."
Inside the carriage of the wealthy family, a young man sat inside. His profile was handsome and profound, and he exuded the dignity of a superior.
"Is this Prince Rui? He's so handsome."
"Shh, don't comment on the descendants of the Heavenly Family."
The passerby immediately changed the subject, "Only Prince Rui's wedding could invite these young men of noble birth to serve as the wedding guests."
The enthusiastic audience laughed, with the unique pride of the locals in Beijing, "You are wrong, these people are going after Princess Jinyun."
I didn’t understand on the way, “Ah, what’s going on?”
"These young men all work for Princess Jinyun and are very devoted to her. Now that the princess is getting married, everyone is vying to help carry her sedan chair, and they've even started fighting."
"In the end, it was Prince Rui who stepped in to mediate and get everyone involved."
Passerby: ...There are quite a lot of strange things happening in the capital.
So, how much money did these young people earn by following the princess?
"These second-generation officials collectively escorted the princess to her wedding. It was truly a rare spectacle."
Another man looked at the display with envy and jealousy.
"Princess Jinyun is so lucky. She comes from a merchant family, has a previous engagement with the Pingxi Marquisate, and can even marry into the Ruiwang Palace with such grandeur."
His wife glared at him unhappily and said, "That's because she was outstanding enough to break away from the conventional customs and become the first female official of this dynasty. She gave us women a chance to live."
She gave birth to three daughters and no sons, and had no place to stand in her husband's family. However, since Princess Jinyun became a female official and opened a girls' school, her eldest daughter was admitted, and the lives of the four of them immediately became much better.
Who can guarantee that this eldest daughter will not have a great future?
Li Wuyang lifted the curtain and looked at the people watching on both sides. Someone shouted cleverly.
"I wish Prince Rui and Princess Jinyun a happy wedding and a long lasting marriage."
Li Wuyang's lips curled up slightly, "Come here, spread the wedding candy."
Wedding candies rained down on the crowd, and the crowd burst into excited screams.
At the gate of Yun Mansion, big red lanterns were hung high, and there were lights and decorations everywhere. There were people in elegant clothes and it was very lively.
A red carpet was laid out at the gate, leading to Yun Zheng's embroidery building.
Yun Zheng was already dressed up, wearing a bright red wedding gown embroidered with gold and decorated with a pattern of birds paying homage to a phoenix. Her hair was tied up, revealing her snow-white, plump forehead.
The phoenix crown is radiant with gold and emerald, and the bright pearls are reflected in the clouds. Note (1)
A phoenix crown makes her look extremely graceful and dazzling.
The Princess of Jiangcheng looked at the beautiful woman and couldn't help but say, "A Zheng, you are so beautiful. It is a blessing for Prince Rui to marry you."
Yun Zheng looked at herself in the mirror with a smile, "I think so too."
She is just so confident.
The Jiangcheng Princess chuckled and said, "The orchids will flourish for a thousand years, and the music of the zither and the harp will last for a hundred years. I wish you happiness." Note (2)
Yun Zheng squeezed her hand gently and said, "Thank you. It's your turn next. We will both be happy."
Princess Jiangcheng's face turned red, but she hadn't even started yet.
But she really wants to have a home and a family of her own.
The daughter of the old man came over with a smile, "Princess Jinyun, don't just focus on playing with Princess Jiangcheng, take a look at us too."
Princess Jiangcheng rolled her eyes and said, "You're the only one who's clinging to me."
The daughter of the old man grabbed Yun Zheng's sleeve and said softly, "I just like to pester Princess Jinyun, hehe."
Yun Zheng looked at them childishly vying for favor, her eyes full of smiles.
A small figure appeared out of nowhere and hugged Yun Zheng's thigh tightly, "Sister, you are mine."
It’s Ankang. He is dressed festively today, in red clothes, like a walking red envelope.
Princess Jiangcheng teased him with a smile, "Your sister is getting married. It will be difficult to see her in the future. Aren't you sad at all?"
Ankang smiled triumphantly, "I'm not sad. Grandpa and I are my sister's dowry, and we will go to her new home with her."
Everyone: ...Does it have to be so outrageous?!
One guest, seeing how fair and cute he looked, couldn't help but want to tease him. "Prince Rui and Princess Jinyun are arguing, who are you supporting?"
Ankang looked at her as if she were a fool. "Don't you understand the principle of closeness and distance? I will always stand by my sister."
"Prince Rui is powerful and can easily make you an official."
"Without my sister, how could I have a brother-in-law? You are such a fool."
"Hahaha."
Today, all the daughters of famous families in the capital gathered here and sent their most heartfelt blessings.
The elder's daughter presented a brocade box and said, "I wish the princess and Prince Rui a long and happy marriage and many children and grandchildren. This is the gift I carefully prepared. I hope you like it."
It is a pair of jade ruyi, moist and delicate, and you can tell at first glance that they are not ordinary items.
The daughter of the marquis glared at her unhappily. She failed to snatch the jade ruyi!
In order to send a gift to Princess Jinyun, everyone searched everywhere for rare treasures, but the problem was that there were only so many good things and they had to rely on snatching.
It's really difficult.
The daughter of the minister smiled triumphantly, she had seized the initiative, hehe.
Whenever Princess Jinyun has any good things in the future, she will definitely be the first person she thinks of!
Yun Zheng couldn't help laughing. She had previously made some money by partnering with a few girls with good character, and now they were all pestering her.
"Stop making trouble. Take turns going to the girls' school and make sure no one bullies the female students."
"Don't worry, we're here. Who dares to mess with their evil ideas?"
Princess Jiangcheng hesitated for a moment, "A Zheng, those stubborn people are very opposed to it. Will you still insist on getting married?"
