Chapter 82
This day is the day when Prince Zhenbei and Princess Chang'an got married.
The news of the two getting married had spread as early as two months ago. Looking at Dazhou, it can be said that everyone knows about it.
Although there are many knights in the rivers and lakes who regard it as a joke after dinner, lamenting that it is a trick of good fortune, the first genius in the millennium will one day be reduced to marrying a waste material with no talent in martial arts.
But the vast majority of the people still hold blessings to this marriage.
After all, in the past few years, the news they have heard the most is the news from the eldest princess of the south who killed the demon in blood.
Now, King Ning has taken over the position of the eldest princess, and there has been no good news in half a year. The comparison between the two shows the style of the eldest princess back then.
As for the Prince of Zhenbei.
Everyone has no impression of him, only that his father, King Zhenbei, is a hero.
Even with Zhenbei King in the north, ordinary people like myself have a peaceful life in the capital, love the house and love Wu, and have a good impression of his son.
all in all.
Most of the people in the capital regard this marriage as a happy event worth celebrating.
thus.
It was just dawn.
On both sides of the street from the palace gate to Ren's mansion, many ordinary people and knight-errants gathered here.
"Back then, the eldest princess had beheaded three big monsters with fourth-rank strength by herself, how high-spirited she was!
At that time, there were even rumors in the world that Emperor Zhaowu deliberately concentrated resources to train her to be the second martial saint to protect the country, but in a blink of an eye she was reduced to a useless person and forced to marry.
"Yeah, if you marry a good match, it's not satisfactory. It's a pity to marry a tiger father and dog son, the son of King Zhenbei."
"Speaking of which, the Eldest Princess is poisoned by Gu, and her appearance is extremely frightening. I don't know if the Prince of Zhenbei will flee back to the North Territory in fright after seeing him."
Standing by the roadside of Sajin Street, two Jianghu people in strong clothes shook their heads and sighed for a while, then began to make fun of them out of tune.
What they didn't notice was that many people around had already cast dissatisfied eyes on them.
"I heard that the son of the Prince of Zhenbei is still a ninth rank. The ninth rank martial arts is for refinement. If you want to go further, you have to hold the Yuan and guard the first. In this way, the eldest princess has to stay alone in the boudoir at the night of the bridal chamber."
The voice just fell.
The surrounding people couldn't bear it any longer and cursed angrily.
"Where did the bedbug come from! You are a natural pair of men and women, and it's your turn to object!"
A strong man with a height of eight feet spat at the two of them and cursed angrily.
"That's right! What's the point of chewing your tongue behind your back!"
"Fortunately, you are still dressed like dogs, and you put on the posture of a knight-errant. What is the difference between you and a gossip?"
"If you have the guts, go to Prince Zhenbei and repeat what you just said, and see if the prince will beat you to death!"
Being scolded by these ordinary people is bloody.
The two people from the rivers and lakes were full of anger and blood, glared at the crowd, and said through gritted teeth: "A group of frogs at the bottom of the well, you know nothing!"
"I understand your mother!"
The burly man with a height of eight feet couldn't hold back his anger anymore, his eyes widened with anger, and he kicked one of them directly, kicking him to the ground.
"What the hell! I've already seen these two sons of bitches getting upset! Fuck him together!"
The voice fell, and there was a hundred responses.
The surrounding people rushed up and kicked the two of them fiercely.
"You, you are courting death!"
"Do you know who I am! I am the young head of the Qingcheng Sword Sect! Don't...don't slap your face!"
Both of them are eighth-rank martial arts, and their kung fu is not weak. If they are one-on-one, they can easily bring down the strong man who is eight feet tall.
But there are too many people on the other side.
Two fists are no match for four hands, not to mention how many hands are hitting them.
In the inner city of the capital, they did not dare to use weapons, so they could only be beaten passively.
At the beginning, they were still clamoring for the protection of the body with spiritual energy.
In less than half a stick of incense, the spiritual energy in the body is exhausted, and it is a real beating.
While wailing, he protected his head.
It's time for half a stick of incense again.
Finally someone rushed over.
"stop!"
A loud drink.
The people retreated one after another, keeping a distance from the two of them, as if nothing had happened.
Only a middle-aged woman moved a little slower and stepped on her foot before she reacted and hurriedly hid back.
"Oops. Stop hitting. Stop hitting."
The two people from the rivers and lakes curled up into a ball, howling in pain.
Xiao Rongxue, who was wearing a unicorn suit and had a knife across her waist, got off her horse and walked up to the two of them.
Looking at the crowd, expressionless, he said coldly, "What's going on?"
She was planning to lead a team out of the city to suppress the bandits, but when she passed by, she saw a group of people punching and kicking the two of them, and she couldn't stand it before she stopped her.
The people secretly glanced at Xiao Rongxue and the murderous guards with swords on the tall horse behind him, all lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound.
And those two people from the Jianghu who were beaten, when they saw Xiao Rongxue's clothes, they immediately knew that he was from the government, with excited expressions on their faces, and said in a trembling voice: "Sir, you can count yourself here. If you don't come again, we will But he was beaten to death by these troublemakers!"
Xiao Rongxue looked at the two of them, frowned slightly, and said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, what's going on?"
The young man who claimed to be the young head of the Qingcheng Sword Sect had a bruised nose and a swollen face from the beating, and lost two of his teeth. Hearing this, he got up from the ground in a daze, pointed at the crowd, covered his face and said, "We brothers Just stood here and chatted for a few words, and these unscrupulous people rushed up and beat us brothers."
"fart!"
The eight-foot tall man said angrily: "If you don't insult the eldest princess and the prince of Zhenbei for no reason, why should I beat you!"
"You spitting blood, when did I insult the eldest princess and the prince of Zhenbei? Besides, if I did this, what does it have to do with you?!" The young man covered his face and gritted his teeth.
The eight-foot tall man wanted to say something, but before he could speak, the cold voice sounded again.
"According to the laws and regulations of the Great Zhou Dynasty, insulting honorable persons can be as light as twenty sticks, and as serious as a hundred sticks."
There is indeed this rule in the regulations of Dazhou, but it seems that the regulations say that those who curse grandparents and parents will be hanged.
In real life, similar situations are not uncommon, but the death penalty is still a minority.
Everyone is turning a blind eye and closing one eye, no one takes it seriously.
Therefore, when they heard this, everyone was startled, subconsciously looking at the leading official.
Seeing the ordinary face of the official, it became more and more cold, and there seemed to be a hint of anger in his brows.
"Big, my lord."
The two people from the rivers and lakes suddenly panicked. Originally, they wanted the officials to arrest the person who beat them into the yamen, but now it seems that they might be the ones who were arrested.
and.
They insulted the eldest princess and the prince of Zhenbei, which can be said to be the most respected group of nobles.
If the crime is really carried out, it will be punished one hundred times.
This is life-threatening!
"My lord, how dare we insult the princess and His Royal Highness, it's just chatting, and I mentioned a few words casually."
Xiao Rongxue gave him a cold look, interrupted him and said: "Whether you have insulted the princess and the prince, it doesn't matter if you say it, or if I say it, it depends on them."
Saying that, he stretched out his finger to the common people who had just beaten the two, and said in a neutral manner: "I have important matters to attend to, so I don't have time to chat with you. If an official comes over, they have the final say on how to deal with you."
After finishing speaking, he was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, got on his horse, and drove out of the city with the guards of Zhenmensi.
Hearing this, the two people from Jianghu breathed a sigh of relief, and soon realized something, looked at the people around them, and said in a trembling voice: "Several good guys."
"Call Grandpa!"
When the two people with bruised noses and swollen faces heard the words, a touch of embarrassment rose in their hearts, and when they thought of the words of the official just now, they instantly became depressed and said in a trembling voice: "Grandfathers."
Everyone looked at this scene and thought it was ridiculous.
There was only one half-grown child who really laughed out loud, which caused a burst of laughter.
There is a cheerful atmosphere in the air.
Time passed, and soon it was Shen Shi.
In the streets and alleys, people talked about it.
In front of Renfu.
Ren Pingsheng was already fully dressed, and under the escort of his guards, he rode to the palace on a tall horse covered in red brocade.
Traveling unimpeded all the way, we soon arrived at the west of Meridian Gate.
After dismounting, he entered the court room, changed into court clothes, entered through the west corner of the Meridian Gate, and saw an official in a scarlet robe standing there.
The official of the Ministry of Rites reminded in a low voice: "It is Mr. Zhao, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, and I will pass on your majesty's order."
Ren Pingsheng nodded slightly, stepped forward, stood upright, and bowed respectfully.
After a while, a solemn voice sounded.
"The way of husband and wife, the great ethic of human beings, marriage is based on the time, and the etiquette is the most important thing. When the emperor and daughter marry, they must choose the old honor as the marriage. This is also the same as the past and the present. I have ordered you to be the captain of the son-in-law for the rest of your life. You should be Be a firm husband, don't favor, don't be slow, and always suppress his family, in order to call me dear."
Ren Pingsheng saluted and said: "The minister accepts the decree!"
After the patent is over.
Ren Pingsheng was led to the west of the right gate.
Looking up, I saw a guard of honor behind the eight sedan chairs, all wearing bullfighting suits, looking magnificent.
Seeing this scene, Ren Pingsheng was slightly taken aback.
He originally thought that the emperor married Chang An to him, one is to let him come to the capital as a hostage, and the other is that after Chang An's cultivation base was abolished and his appearance was destroyed, he couldn't find a more suitable candidate, so he wanted to marry her as soon as possible. Perfunctory.
Now it seems that is not the case.
At the very least, the etiquette in the palace should exceed the standard for ordinary princesses to get married.
Ren Pingsheng thought wildly for a while, and under the guidance of officials from the Ministry of Rites, he came to the guard of honor, stood still, and waited quietly.
Time passed by minute by minute.
After a while, I saw a tall figure walking slowly in the distance, surrounded by court ladies.
The upper body is a red embroidered gold embroidered phoenix Asahi skirt with large sleeves, and the neckline and cuffs have Luanfeng and Ming patterns.
The lower body is wearing a bright red pleated skirt with golden embroidered phoenix and peonies, and the long skirt falls behind her like a cloud of smoke.
The gorgeous and colorful attire is eye-catching, and the temperament is graceful and luxurious, which makes people dare not look directly at it.
Ren Pingsheng took a closer look, and saw that her fair oval face was covered with a red veil, and she couldn't see her face clearly, only her eyes were full of coldness.
"The princess has arrived, please step forward." The official from the Ministry of Rituals reminded me in a low voice.
Ren Pingsheng came back to his senses, stepped forward, stopped in front of the other party, bowed his hands and saluted, then turned around, knees slightly bent, and carried Princess Chang'an with the phoenix crown and xiapei on his back.
Don't say it.
Chang An looked tall and slender, and realized that he was not much heavier than Yun He.
It's just a little thinner, and it feels like there is no meat.
Unlike Yunhe, it is soft everywhere.
Ren Pingsheng thought wildly for a while, and came to the sedan chair with Chang An on his back, and put it down gently.
Step aside and stand still.
Someone shouted: "Lift up the sedan chair!"
next second.
The sedan chair slowly rises.
Cheerful music then sounded.
Ren Pingsheng walked out of the Meridian Gate with him, and some officials brought over a big horse with a red brocade on its head.
Standing where he was, he waited for the two maids to arrange his clothes before getting on his horse.
Walk along the road outside the palace gate, go straight to the most prosperous Sajin Street, and then go back to Ren Mansion via Sajin Street.
The team is mighty and mighty, extending a hundred meters.
Many onlookers gathered on both sides, and they all cheered.
Dozens of palace maids held flower buckets in their hands, filled with copper coins and colorful fruits, and scattered them towards the roadside, causing a lot of scrambling.
roadside.
Among the crowd, a young woman looked at this scene with a look of envy on her face, and muttered to herself: "If only I could have such a grandeur on the day I get married."
beside.
The young man standing side by side with her touched his nose but didn't speak.
The young woman was in a trance for a while, realized something, turned her head to look at her lover, with a bright smile: "Thinking about it, it may not be very good if so many people watch it. It is enough to have a couple of friends to celebrate."
The young man was slightly taken aback, and stretched out his hand to hold the girl in his arms, feeling moved in his heart.
The girl snuggled into his arms and continued to look at the mighty team.
Suddenly, seeing the son-in-law riding on the tall horse, he was slightly taken aback, and said in surprise: "Why do I feel that the son-in-law looks familiar?"
The young man looked along and saw the appearance of the son-in-law, and was also startled: "This is not the one we saw at the Cailian River a few days ago. If he is the son-in-law, who was the woman that day?"
He was very impressed, that woman was so beautiful, she couldn't be the disfigured Princess Chang'an.
Upon hearing this, the girl realized something, pouted her lips, and said angrily, "Men don't have a good thing."
"except me"
The young man replied silently in his heart, and followed the girl to attack the scumbag.
But there was a hint of envy in the eyes looking at Ren Pingsheng.
Unity time.
sunset.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the clouds, like a ray of sunshine, dyeing the blue sky golden, reflecting the brilliance of the entire capital.
The guard of honor stopped in front of Ren's mansion.
Someone shouted: "Down the sedan chair."
The sedan chair lowered slowly.
Ren Pingsheng walked to the sedan chair and gently opened the curtain.
As in the palace, he picked up the person in the sedan chair and walked slowly towards the gate of the mansion.
Red brocade had already been spread in front of the mansion gate, and maidservants sprinkled flower petals on both sides.
Look up.
Fire red lanterns hung high.
The colorful tassels that can be seen everywhere sway gently in the wind.
An exquisitely crafted saddle is placed on the threshold. The word saddle is the same as an, which means peace.
This is the custom of marrying a bride in the north, which is slightly different from that in the capital.
Ren Pingsheng carried Chang An on his back, stepped over the saddle that symbolized peace, and walked towards the main hall.
When he arrived at the entrance of the main hall, he put down Chang An lightly, turned his head to look, and saw the cold white skin that was not covered by the veil, smooth and delicate.
She has a smooth oval face, clear eyes, and soft and fair skin. No matter how you look at it, she is a standard beauty.
Is Chang An really ruined as rumored?
Ren Pingsheng didn't know, he only knew that he was about to have another relative in this world. Although the two had never met each other, it was very common in this era to marry first and then fall in love. Slow cultivation is.
"My son, my son, it's time to hold the bride's hand, and I'm going to worship heaven and earth soon!"
A familiar voice came from beside him.
Ren Pingsheng turned his head and saw Jiang Chuyue standing not far away, reminding him with a smile.
The last time I listened to Fengge's account, you still dare to throw yourself into the trap. After the wedding ceremony, let's see how this prince will adjust and clean you up!
Ren Pingsheng calmed down, looked away, reached into Princess Chang'an's wide sleeve, searched for a while, and found a little cold hand.
He held it gently, soft as if boneless, smooth and delicate.
Compared with Xiao Rongxue, it's more concessional than not showing off.
It's just a lot colder.
Even though it was early summer, holding her little hand was like holding a piece of ice.
Could it be Gonghan?
Look back and think about whether there is a suitable elixir, and give her a good conditioning.
As Ren Pingsheng was thinking this, a loud voice came from beside him.
"Worship heaven and earth!"
Ren Pingsheng held Chang An's cold little hand, and bowed slowly to the main hall!
"Second worship!"
Facing north, bow down again.
"Bye husband and wife!"
Ren Pingsheng slowly let go of the cold little hand in his palm, turned around, and faced Chang An.
now.
The distance between the two was less than half a meter.
Ren Pingsheng could clearly see Chang An's slender eyelashes and the coldness in his eyes.
"This obeisance, we will be husband and wife from now on."
Ren Pingsheng, who was single for two lifetimes, suddenly felt a complex emotion in his heart, which was hard to describe in words.
Take a deep breath, stop thinking about it, and bow down deeply.
opposite.
So is Chang An.
At the end of the chapel, the representative will welcome the gift.
The rest is the dinner banquet for the guests, and the wedding ceremony in the bridal chamber, that is, handing over glasses of wine.
The bridal chamber has been furnished, and it is the main house where Ren Ping usually lives.
now.
Ren Pingsheng took Chang An's hand again, and walked slowly towards the bridal chamber. After burning a stick of incense, he came to the door of the bridal chamber, and saw Jiang Chuyue standing there, smiling and saying: "Your Majesty, I have to accompany the guests to have wine, I can't do it until dark." Into the bridal chamber."
Beside him, the servant girl who had been following the flower petals also said, "My lord, it's like this."
Jiang Chuyue chuckled lightly, revealing two dimples: "Don't worry, my son, the bride will not run away with the slaves guarding here."
Ren Pingsheng has held back for so many years, but he is not in a hurry at this moment, he is just a little curious about how ugly Chang An's face is under the veil.
"No matter what, it's nothing more than a face full of flesh and knife scars, and it's not impossible to gnash your teeth.
Anyway, it's all the same when the lights are turned off. If it's a big deal, you can cover your face again, as long as you can respond with a few words. "
This was what Ren Pingsheng thought before he came to the capital.
After observing Chang'an at close range today, this idea has disappeared.
Because, Chang An is far more beautiful than I imagined.
The long hair is black and bright, the skin is delicate and smooth, the eyelashes are very long, and the eyes are large.
Maybe there is a hideous face hidden under the veil.
In the worst case, let her wear a veil, which has a different taste.
Think of this.
Ren Pingsheng suddenly looked forward to the bridal chamber at night.
Come out from the courtyard.
Back to the main hall.
The maids are busy putting dishes on the table.
The guards are carrying wine from one altar to another.
There are sixteen tables in total, eight people at each table, and only a few seats are vacant.
Most of the nobles in the capital, as well as the ministers of the fourth rank and above, sent representatives to attend the banquet and send congratulatory gifts.
Although they don't want to have any contact with Zhenbei Palace.
But this banquet, after all, was the wedding banquet of Princess Chang'an and Prince Zhenbei's son, if it was too deserted, the royal family would not be able to justify it.
Therefore, everyone was in groups of twos and threes, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere seemed to be very happy.
Meet Ren Pingsheng.
Everyone stood up one after another, with smiles on their faces, and congratulated: "Congratulations to the son-in-law! The princess son-in-law has been married for a hundred years and has a precious son!"
Ren Pingsheng also smiled and bowed his hands in return.
Soon.
The table is full of delicacies.
Ren Pingsheng exchanged a few words with the few nobles who were close to him, and then raised his voice: "Gentlemen, let's have fun!"
Everyone raised their glasses in response.
Next, toast one by one.
To Ren Pingsheng, Da Zhou's wine can only be said to be an alcoholic beverage, and he was slightly tipsy just after a dozen cups were poured into his throat.
After resting for a few seconds, he continued to toast, with a gentle smile on his face, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.
On a table far away from Ren Pingsheng.
Several honorable disciples looked at Ren Pingsheng, shook their heads and sighed, and said in a low voice: "The prince of Zhenbei is indeed as rumored, he has the style of an ancient gentleman, but it is a pity that he has no talent for cultivation, and he will not become a great weapon after all."
"Achieving greatness is not necessarily a good thing. If he really has his father's talent, the current debate in the court is probably not whether to cut down the clan, but how to cut it down."
"It makes sense."
"Having said that, I heard from my old man that the attitude of the Holy Majesty has changed recently. The left servant of the Ministry of Rites who was appointed by the Lord and cut down the vassal was reused by the Majesty. According to the original statement, he should have been transferred to the Ministry of Officials as a servant half a month ago. Prepare to enter the cabinet next year, but it has been delayed until now, and the decree has not come down."
"Anything else?"
"Indeed, my old man also said that the demon clan in the south and the barbarian clan in the north are going to join forces to make trouble. The Holy One is afraid that at this time the clan will be cut down and the foundation will be shaken, so he suppresses the clan faction."
As soon as this word comes out.
Everyone around looked at him in unison, with serious expressions and torch-like eyes.
"Young Master Zhou, are you serious?" Someone couldn't help asking.
The young man didn't expect that a casual sentence would make himself the focus of sight. He was a little flustered, squeezed out a smile, waved his hands and said, "It's just a joke, a joke."
When everyone heard the words, they showed thoughtful expressions.
This young man surnamed Zhou usually idles around and is not valued in the family, but after all, he is the son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of War, and what he said is most likely not just talking nonsense.
The news that the monster clan and the barbarian clan are going to unite may have been heard by the minister of the Ministry of War when he was chatting with others.
Being able to be heard by him shows that it is not a top secret.
In other words, the alliance between the monster clan and the barbarian clan will not be long before it will be discussed on the table.
"The monster clan and the barbarian clan are one south and one north, and the middle spans half a big week. Why did they form an alliance?"
"The enemy is the same, and it is not surprising to form an alliance. What needs to be considered now is how to deal with it."
"The monster clan is declining day by day, and with the support of two mighty generals, King Jingnan and King Ning, in the south, there won't be any troubles for a while. I'm afraid that in the north, King Zhenbei may not have the same courage as before. .”
"."
The guests talked about it.
Realizing that he was in trouble, Mr. Zhou couldn't sit still. After struggling for a long time, he stood up and opened his mouth to say something. Before he could speak, he heard a sharp and feminine voice from outside the door.
"His Majesty's oral order! Give Zhenbei Wang Shizi Ren a flying fish suit for his life! A gold medal for entering the palace!"
The voice fell.
The whole hall was silent.
All the guests stared wide-eyed, looking at the eunuch at the door with disbelief.
There is only one thought in mind.
Didn't the Holy Majesty want to cut down the feudal clan?Why give such a great favor to Prince Zhenbei for no reason?
the other side.
Ren Pingsheng raised his wine glass halfway, feeling a little dazed.
For no reason, what kind of flying fish suit is rewarded?Is this letting him enter the palace to be a royal guard?
When mentioning Jinyiwei, Ren Pingsheng suddenly remembered that when Cui Yu passed the oral order, he said that after he got married, the emperor would send him something to do. Could it be true that he would enter the palace as a Jinyiwei?
"Shi, son, let's receive the reward first."
The honorable son who was being toasted, seeing him holding the wine, felt a little flustered, wiped off his sweat, and lowered his voice to remind.
Ren Pingsheng came back to his senses after hearing the reminder, put down his wine glass, walked quickly to the eunuch, and saluted respectfully.
"I thank Your Majesty Long En all my life!"
The eunuch gently placed the flying fish suit and the gold medal in Ren Pingsheng's hands.
Afterwards, hurriedly stepped forward to help: "His Royal Highness, please get up quickly."
Ren Pingsheng straightened his waist, and handed the flying fish suit and gold medal to the guards at the side.
Looking at the eunuch, lowering his voice, he asked, "Does Your Majesty have any other wishes?"
This trip can't be just to give away a piece of clothing and a brand.
The eunuch smiled and said: "There is indeed an oral order, the Holy Majesty ordered the servants to only speak to the prince."
Ren Pingsheng looked back at the main hall.
The guests with shocked faces and frozen expressions suddenly came back to their senses and returned to their original state, pushing glasses and changing glasses, talking and laughing.
"Look, father-in-law, do you want to change to a secluded place?" Ren Pingsheng asked again.
"It doesn't have to be."
The eunuch smiled and said: "Actually, it's not a big deal, but His Royal Highness Yunhe cried a lot in the hall today and didn't eat dinner, His Majesty felt distressed seeing it.
So he gave the son a gold medal for entering the palace, and asked the son to enter the palace more often to accompany His Royal Highness Yunhe in his spare time. "
"?"
Hearing this, Ren Pingsheng was stunned.
What does it mean?
To pick up girls?
Asking his son-in-law to accompany his sister-in-law, the emperor is not confused, right?
Seeing Ren Pingsheng looking at him with strange eyes, the eunuch immediately knew what he was thinking, and said in a low voice: "What I said just now is holy, I don't dare to falsely preach the imperial decree, it is a great crime to punish the nine clans."
Makes sense.
Ren Pingsheng stopped thinking about it, looked away, took out a bank note from his bosom, stuffed it into the eunuch's belt, and said, "Thank you, Eunuch."
"Slaves dare not ask for money from the prince." The eunuch hurriedly said.
"This son is getting married today, and it is human nature to give a red envelope, so don't refuse." Ren Pingsheng said.
The eunuch hesitated for a moment, and said: "The servant has thanked the son."
Ren Pingsheng nodded slightly, exchanged a few words of greeting, then returned to the main hall, and continued to toast.
just.
This time.
All the guests looked at him with strange eyes.
The atmosphere is no longer as relaxed and cheerful as before, but has become a bit more solemn.
Ren Pingsheng toasted one by one, and after greeting the guests, he walked out of the main hall, summoned the guards, and ordered: "After the guests have left, set up a few more tables with the same food, and you all have a taste."
The guard was moved in his heart, cupped his hands and said: "Yes, my son!"
Ren Pingsheng nodded slightly, and was about to go back to the bridal chamber.
After walking a few steps, Li Yong came over.
"My lord, this is a letter from His Highness."
There has always been only one His Royal Highness that Li Yong talked about, and that is King Zhenbei.
Old things are not easy, and you know how to reply.
It is not in vain to send him a letter in advance to inform him of the date of marriage.
Having said that, he and his mother were out touring the mountains and rivers, how did they receive the letter?
Ren Pingsheng thought wildly for a while, took the letter, opened it, and browsed from top to bottom.
The content of the letter has always been simple, vividly reflecting the vulgarity of the warrior.
"Son, have you seen what the princess you are so determined to marry looks like? If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer in front of your eyes. The raw rice has already been cooked, so it is useless to regret it."
"Damn! Old man, someone said that about his daughter-in-law!"
Ren Pingsheng sneered, and continued to read.
"Although this daughter-in-law, your mother and I are very dissatisfied, but you are deceived by lard, and you insist on marrying, and your parents have no choice. Now that you are married, it is not appropriate for parents not to give you something.
The bracelet was handed down by your mother-in-law. It is not a good thing. I left it for her to wear. The thing my father gave me is still on the way. I guess it will arrive in a year or so. That's all.
Do not read, do not disturb. "
A gift from a married couple will take a year and a half to arrive?
At that time, children can make soy sauce!
Ren Pingsheng complained in his heart, and then couldn't help but worry again.
He gave it, don't look back, it's something like the head of a strong barbarian, right?
It's just a wedding ceremony, just send something casually, it doesn't have to be so hard.
Thinking of this, he wanted to reply, thought for a few seconds, and gave up.
For a strong man like dad, what he wants to do must be planned for a long time, and it is impossible to change it just because of him.
Now I just hope that father and mother are really traveling around and making younger brothers and sisters for him, instead of messing around.
Ren Pingsheng sighed in his heart, looked up at Li Yong, and asked, "When did the letter arrive?"
Li Yong replied: "Yesterday morning, the person who sent the letter said that His Highness will hand it over to you after the wedding ceremony is completed."
Ren Pingsheng nodded slightly, expressing his understanding, and asked, "Where's the bracelet?"
"?" Li Yong was bewildered.
Ren Pingsheng was slightly taken aback, and his heart sank: "There is no bracelet in the letter? Didn't the sender give you a bracelet?"
Seeing Ren Pingsheng's expression, Li Yong immediately reacted, shook his head, and said seriously:
"Humble job, go find the person who delivered the letter!"
"Two days and one night, people probably ran away long ago."
"Death to a humble job!"
"A bracelet, if you lose it, you lose it. I can't blame you for this matter. I can only say that my father entrusted it to someone else."
The matter has come to this point, it is useless to entangle, Ren Pingsheng waved his hand freely, and said casually: "You go down."
"The humble job remembers the body and appearance of the person who delivers the letter."
Li Yong looked unwilling, and wanted to get the bracelet back.
Ren Pingsheng gave him a squinting look: "How do you know he hasn't changed his face?"
Li Yong was silent for a moment.
Ren Pingsheng waved his hand, and said casually, "I'm lucky if I get it, but I'm dead if I lose it. You don't know when it will come back by itself."
"The humble job understands." Li Yong said.
"Go down."
"Retire from humble office."
Li Yong turned and left.
Ren Pingsheng walked towards the courtyard, and when he reached the corner, he saw a vague figure standing in the shadow.
First he was startled, then he concentrated his attention, took a closer look, and after seeing the outline clearly, he immediately relaxed.
"Heroine Xiao?"
With a soft call, he saw the shadow, the person walked out slowly, it was Xiao Rongxue.
Ren Pingsheng looked at her and was about to open his mouth to speak, when he suddenly found blood oozing from her right arm, his heart sank, his eyes were full of concern, and he asked, "What's going on?"
Seeing his worried and nervous look, Xiao Rongxue was slightly taken aback, followed his gaze, saw the blood on his shoulder, and understood what was going on, and said casually: "The bandit's blood has splashed on me."
Ren Pingsheng was a little worried, stepped forward to take a closer look, and found that there were indeed no wounds, and then said: "A group of bandits, you want to fight in person?"
"if not?"
Xiao Rongxue shrugged her shoulders, and said calmly: "I was determined to be a knight in the rivers and lakes. Swords, lights and swords are the life I yearn for. This is very good..."
"That's true." Ren Pingsheng said.
Xiao Rongxue looked at him, thinking of the concern subconsciously revealed in his eyes just now, her heart suddenly felt relieved, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said: "A moment in spring is worth a thousand gold, don't make the bride wait too long."
After finishing speaking, he patted Ren Pingsheng on the shoulder, and walked towards the courtyard next door with a free and easy appearance of a knight-errant.
"hiss--"
When the pain hit, Ren Pingsheng gasped.
The place where Xiao Rongxue patted happened to be his wound, and the strength she used was not light.
"On purpose! This bitch must have done it on purpose!"
It took Ren Pingsheng a long time to recover from the pain, and he walked towards the courtyard again.
This time, all the way unimpeded.
But when they reached the door of the bridal chamber, they encountered another obstacle.
It was Chang An's junior sister and dowry maid, Jiang Chuyue.
"My lord, the auspicious time has not come yet, so you can't go in."
Jiang Chuyue stood at the door of the bridal chamber, with her arms outstretched, her voice clear and crisp.
Ren Pingsheng looked at her calmly, and said neither cold nor indifferent: "Stop pretending to be weak?"
Jiang Chuyue immediately put on a timid look again, and said aggrievedly: "No servant."
Candle night in the bridal chamber.
Ren Pingsheng was too lazy to argue with her, and asked, "When is the auspicious time?"
Jiang Chuyue replied: "I have to wait for another stick of incense."
The time for a stick of incense is not very long.
Just wait.
Ren Pingsheng stopped where he was and raised his eyes to the sky.
In the dim night, a round of gentle bright moon hangs on the treetops, like setting a crystal-clear gemstone in the deep curtain, and under the reflection of the stars, it looks a bit enchanting and charming.
Ren Pingsheng stared at it for a while, his heart exploded with emotion, he opened his mouth, wanting to chant a poem.
Before she could speak, she heard Jiang Chuyue's voice.
"My lord, I have something to say to you."
Ren Pingsheng withdrew his gaze and looked down.
At some point, Jiang Chuyue had already stood in front of him, only one step away.
"Say." Ren Pingsheng didn't like Jiang Chuyue, so he said coldly.
Jiang Chuyue didn't care, stood on tiptoe, and whispered in his ear, "The slave girl secretly told Shizi, in fact, Senior Sister has been thinking about Shizi for a long time, but Senior Sister is a little different from ordinary people, she likes to be shy and do things Not proactive either.
So when we enter the bridal chamber, the prince should take the initiative, the senior sister doesn't say anything, but she likes it in her heart."
Ren Pingsheng was startled when he heard the words, not knowing whether what she said was true or false, or half true and false.
But it doesn't matter.
He had originally planned to control the rhythm by himself, and it made no difference whether Jiang Chuyue said it or not.
Ren Pingsheng thought about this in his heart, and heard Jiang Chuyue say again: "Because of some reasons, the senior sister's body is weak, if the son wants to, she can only do it once a month.
Of course, if the prince doesn't dislike it, the slaves can also serve the prince if the senior sister agrees. "
The little girl exhaled like blue, and her voice was clear and sweet.
Ren Pingsheng did not feel ambiguous.
After listening to the Fengge incident last time, Jiang Chuyue only got beaten when he was with him.
After Jiang Chuyue finished speaking, she took two steps back, glanced at the sky with her big watery eyes, and said delicately: "The auspicious time has come, my son, please come in."
Ren Pingsheng glanced at her, didn't say any more, and walked into the bridal chamber.
Push open the door.
The house was pitch black.
Only a few rays of moonlight shone in through the cracks in the windows.
"After waiting for two months, this moment has finally arrived."
Thinking of this.
Ren Pingsheng put aside distracting thoughts, stabilized his mind, looked at the bed, and called softly: "Lady."
outside the house.
The breeze blew slightly, driving the leaves to make a rustling sound.
No one responded.
Ren Pingsheng looked at the cold figure on the bed, and remembered what the little girl said before coming in.
Want to be more proactive?
Thinking of this, Ren Pingsheng walked to the table and said in a gentle voice, "Lady, wait for me to light the lamp, let's get together."
The word "wine" has not yet been exported.
A figure suddenly got into his arms and hugged his waist tightly.
Warm fragrant nephrite jade into the arms.
Ren Pingsheng was suddenly distracted.
What kind of wine do you drink at this time!
"Miss."
Ren Pingsheng called softly, and stretched out his hand to hug the tall and slender man horizontally.
Before he moved, he was suddenly grabbed by the other party's collar and dragged directly to the bed.
Ren Pingsheng still hadn't realized what happened.
People have been pressed on the bed.
There were black hairs running across the face, and it was a little itchy.
immediately.
A fragrance came out.
Ren Pingsheng was a little confused, and opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
Before he could open his mouth, he was blocked by a sweet little mouth.
"Well"
Moonlight shines.
bedside.
The candles flickered slightly.
(End of this chapter)
This day is the day when Prince Zhenbei and Princess Chang'an got married.
The news of the two getting married had spread as early as two months ago. Looking at Dazhou, it can be said that everyone knows about it.
Although there are many knights in the rivers and lakes who regard it as a joke after dinner, lamenting that it is a trick of good fortune, the first genius in the millennium will one day be reduced to marrying a waste material with no talent in martial arts.
But the vast majority of the people still hold blessings to this marriage.
After all, in the past few years, the news they have heard the most is the news from the eldest princess of the south who killed the demon in blood.
Now, King Ning has taken over the position of the eldest princess, and there has been no good news in half a year. The comparison between the two shows the style of the eldest princess back then.
As for the Prince of Zhenbei.
Everyone has no impression of him, only that his father, King Zhenbei, is a hero.
Even with Zhenbei King in the north, ordinary people like myself have a peaceful life in the capital, love the house and love Wu, and have a good impression of his son.
all in all.
Most of the people in the capital regard this marriage as a happy event worth celebrating.
thus.
It was just dawn.
On both sides of the street from the palace gate to Ren's mansion, many ordinary people and knight-errants gathered here.
"Back then, the eldest princess had beheaded three big monsters with fourth-rank strength by herself, how high-spirited she was!
At that time, there were even rumors in the world that Emperor Zhaowu deliberately concentrated resources to train her to be the second martial saint to protect the country, but in a blink of an eye she was reduced to a useless person and forced to marry.
"Yeah, if you marry a good match, it's not satisfactory. It's a pity to marry a tiger father and dog son, the son of King Zhenbei."
"Speaking of which, the Eldest Princess is poisoned by Gu, and her appearance is extremely frightening. I don't know if the Prince of Zhenbei will flee back to the North Territory in fright after seeing him."
Standing by the roadside of Sajin Street, two Jianghu people in strong clothes shook their heads and sighed for a while, then began to make fun of them out of tune.
What they didn't notice was that many people around had already cast dissatisfied eyes on them.
"I heard that the son of the Prince of Zhenbei is still a ninth rank. The ninth rank martial arts is for refinement. If you want to go further, you have to hold the Yuan and guard the first. In this way, the eldest princess has to stay alone in the boudoir at the night of the bridal chamber."
The voice just fell.
The surrounding people couldn't bear it any longer and cursed angrily.
"Where did the bedbug come from! You are a natural pair of men and women, and it's your turn to object!"
A strong man with a height of eight feet spat at the two of them and cursed angrily.
"That's right! What's the point of chewing your tongue behind your back!"
"Fortunately, you are still dressed like dogs, and you put on the posture of a knight-errant. What is the difference between you and a gossip?"
"If you have the guts, go to Prince Zhenbei and repeat what you just said, and see if the prince will beat you to death!"
Being scolded by these ordinary people is bloody.
The two people from the rivers and lakes were full of anger and blood, glared at the crowd, and said through gritted teeth: "A group of frogs at the bottom of the well, you know nothing!"
"I understand your mother!"
The burly man with a height of eight feet couldn't hold back his anger anymore, his eyes widened with anger, and he kicked one of them directly, kicking him to the ground.
"What the hell! I've already seen these two sons of bitches getting upset! Fuck him together!"
The voice fell, and there was a hundred responses.
The surrounding people rushed up and kicked the two of them fiercely.
"You, you are courting death!"
"Do you know who I am! I am the young head of the Qingcheng Sword Sect! Don't...don't slap your face!"
Both of them are eighth-rank martial arts, and their kung fu is not weak. If they are one-on-one, they can easily bring down the strong man who is eight feet tall.
But there are too many people on the other side.
Two fists are no match for four hands, not to mention how many hands are hitting them.
In the inner city of the capital, they did not dare to use weapons, so they could only be beaten passively.
At the beginning, they were still clamoring for the protection of the body with spiritual energy.
In less than half a stick of incense, the spiritual energy in the body is exhausted, and it is a real beating.
While wailing, he protected his head.
It's time for half a stick of incense again.
Finally someone rushed over.
"stop!"
A loud drink.
The people retreated one after another, keeping a distance from the two of them, as if nothing had happened.
Only a middle-aged woman moved a little slower and stepped on her foot before she reacted and hurriedly hid back.
"Oops. Stop hitting. Stop hitting."
The two people from the rivers and lakes curled up into a ball, howling in pain.
Xiao Rongxue, who was wearing a unicorn suit and had a knife across her waist, got off her horse and walked up to the two of them.
Looking at the crowd, expressionless, he said coldly, "What's going on?"
She was planning to lead a team out of the city to suppress the bandits, but when she passed by, she saw a group of people punching and kicking the two of them, and she couldn't stand it before she stopped her.
The people secretly glanced at Xiao Rongxue and the murderous guards with swords on the tall horse behind him, all lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound.
And those two people from the Jianghu who were beaten, when they saw Xiao Rongxue's clothes, they immediately knew that he was from the government, with excited expressions on their faces, and said in a trembling voice: "Sir, you can count yourself here. If you don't come again, we will But he was beaten to death by these troublemakers!"
Xiao Rongxue looked at the two of them, frowned slightly, and said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, what's going on?"
The young man who claimed to be the young head of the Qingcheng Sword Sect had a bruised nose and a swollen face from the beating, and lost two of his teeth. Hearing this, he got up from the ground in a daze, pointed at the crowd, covered his face and said, "We brothers Just stood here and chatted for a few words, and these unscrupulous people rushed up and beat us brothers."
"fart!"
The eight-foot tall man said angrily: "If you don't insult the eldest princess and the prince of Zhenbei for no reason, why should I beat you!"
"You spitting blood, when did I insult the eldest princess and the prince of Zhenbei? Besides, if I did this, what does it have to do with you?!" The young man covered his face and gritted his teeth.
The eight-foot tall man wanted to say something, but before he could speak, the cold voice sounded again.
"According to the laws and regulations of the Great Zhou Dynasty, insulting honorable persons can be as light as twenty sticks, and as serious as a hundred sticks."
There is indeed this rule in the regulations of Dazhou, but it seems that the regulations say that those who curse grandparents and parents will be hanged.
In real life, similar situations are not uncommon, but the death penalty is still a minority.
Everyone is turning a blind eye and closing one eye, no one takes it seriously.
Therefore, when they heard this, everyone was startled, subconsciously looking at the leading official.
Seeing the ordinary face of the official, it became more and more cold, and there seemed to be a hint of anger in his brows.
"Big, my lord."
The two people from the rivers and lakes suddenly panicked. Originally, they wanted the officials to arrest the person who beat them into the yamen, but now it seems that they might be the ones who were arrested.
and.
They insulted the eldest princess and the prince of Zhenbei, which can be said to be the most respected group of nobles.
If the crime is really carried out, it will be punished one hundred times.
This is life-threatening!
"My lord, how dare we insult the princess and His Royal Highness, it's just chatting, and I mentioned a few words casually."
Xiao Rongxue gave him a cold look, interrupted him and said: "Whether you have insulted the princess and the prince, it doesn't matter if you say it, or if I say it, it depends on them."
Saying that, he stretched out his finger to the common people who had just beaten the two, and said in a neutral manner: "I have important matters to attend to, so I don't have time to chat with you. If an official comes over, they have the final say on how to deal with you."
After finishing speaking, he was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, got on his horse, and drove out of the city with the guards of Zhenmensi.
Hearing this, the two people from Jianghu breathed a sigh of relief, and soon realized something, looked at the people around them, and said in a trembling voice: "Several good guys."
"Call Grandpa!"
When the two people with bruised noses and swollen faces heard the words, a touch of embarrassment rose in their hearts, and when they thought of the words of the official just now, they instantly became depressed and said in a trembling voice: "Grandfathers."
Everyone looked at this scene and thought it was ridiculous.
There was only one half-grown child who really laughed out loud, which caused a burst of laughter.
There is a cheerful atmosphere in the air.
Time passed, and soon it was Shen Shi.
In the streets and alleys, people talked about it.
In front of Renfu.
Ren Pingsheng was already fully dressed, and under the escort of his guards, he rode to the palace on a tall horse covered in red brocade.
Traveling unimpeded all the way, we soon arrived at the west of Meridian Gate.
After dismounting, he entered the court room, changed into court clothes, entered through the west corner of the Meridian Gate, and saw an official in a scarlet robe standing there.
The official of the Ministry of Rites reminded in a low voice: "It is Mr. Zhao, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, and I will pass on your majesty's order."
Ren Pingsheng nodded slightly, stepped forward, stood upright, and bowed respectfully.
After a while, a solemn voice sounded.
"The way of husband and wife, the great ethic of human beings, marriage is based on the time, and the etiquette is the most important thing. When the emperor and daughter marry, they must choose the old honor as the marriage. This is also the same as the past and the present. I have ordered you to be the captain of the son-in-law for the rest of your life. You should be Be a firm husband, don't favor, don't be slow, and always suppress his family, in order to call me dear."
Ren Pingsheng saluted and said: "The minister accepts the decree!"
After the patent is over.
Ren Pingsheng was led to the west of the right gate.
Looking up, I saw a guard of honor behind the eight sedan chairs, all wearing bullfighting suits, looking magnificent.
Seeing this scene, Ren Pingsheng was slightly taken aback.
He originally thought that the emperor married Chang An to him, one is to let him come to the capital as a hostage, and the other is that after Chang An's cultivation base was abolished and his appearance was destroyed, he couldn't find a more suitable candidate, so he wanted to marry her as soon as possible. Perfunctory.
Now it seems that is not the case.
At the very least, the etiquette in the palace should exceed the standard for ordinary princesses to get married.
Ren Pingsheng thought wildly for a while, and under the guidance of officials from the Ministry of Rites, he came to the guard of honor, stood still, and waited quietly.
Time passed by minute by minute.
After a while, I saw a tall figure walking slowly in the distance, surrounded by court ladies.
The upper body is a red embroidered gold embroidered phoenix Asahi skirt with large sleeves, and the neckline and cuffs have Luanfeng and Ming patterns.
The lower body is wearing a bright red pleated skirt with golden embroidered phoenix and peonies, and the long skirt falls behind her like a cloud of smoke.
The gorgeous and colorful attire is eye-catching, and the temperament is graceful and luxurious, which makes people dare not look directly at it.
Ren Pingsheng took a closer look, and saw that her fair oval face was covered with a red veil, and she couldn't see her face clearly, only her eyes were full of coldness.
"The princess has arrived, please step forward." The official from the Ministry of Rituals reminded me in a low voice.
Ren Pingsheng came back to his senses, stepped forward, stopped in front of the other party, bowed his hands and saluted, then turned around, knees slightly bent, and carried Princess Chang'an with the phoenix crown and xiapei on his back.
Don't say it.
Chang An looked tall and slender, and realized that he was not much heavier than Yun He.
It's just a little thinner, and it feels like there is no meat.
Unlike Yunhe, it is soft everywhere.
Ren Pingsheng thought wildly for a while, and came to the sedan chair with Chang An on his back, and put it down gently.
Step aside and stand still.
Someone shouted: "Lift up the sedan chair!"
next second.
The sedan chair slowly rises.
Cheerful music then sounded.
Ren Pingsheng walked out of the Meridian Gate with him, and some officials brought over a big horse with a red brocade on its head.
Standing where he was, he waited for the two maids to arrange his clothes before getting on his horse.
Walk along the road outside the palace gate, go straight to the most prosperous Sajin Street, and then go back to Ren Mansion via Sajin Street.
The team is mighty and mighty, extending a hundred meters.
Many onlookers gathered on both sides, and they all cheered.
Dozens of palace maids held flower buckets in their hands, filled with copper coins and colorful fruits, and scattered them towards the roadside, causing a lot of scrambling.
roadside.
Among the crowd, a young woman looked at this scene with a look of envy on her face, and muttered to herself: "If only I could have such a grandeur on the day I get married."
beside.
The young man standing side by side with her touched his nose but didn't speak.
The young woman was in a trance for a while, realized something, turned her head to look at her lover, with a bright smile: "Thinking about it, it may not be very good if so many people watch it. It is enough to have a couple of friends to celebrate."
The young man was slightly taken aback, and stretched out his hand to hold the girl in his arms, feeling moved in his heart.
The girl snuggled into his arms and continued to look at the mighty team.
Suddenly, seeing the son-in-law riding on the tall horse, he was slightly taken aback, and said in surprise: "Why do I feel that the son-in-law looks familiar?"
The young man looked along and saw the appearance of the son-in-law, and was also startled: "This is not the one we saw at the Cailian River a few days ago. If he is the son-in-law, who was the woman that day?"
He was very impressed, that woman was so beautiful, she couldn't be the disfigured Princess Chang'an.
Upon hearing this, the girl realized something, pouted her lips, and said angrily, "Men don't have a good thing."
"except me"
The young man replied silently in his heart, and followed the girl to attack the scumbag.
But there was a hint of envy in the eyes looking at Ren Pingsheng.
Unity time.
sunset.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the clouds, like a ray of sunshine, dyeing the blue sky golden, reflecting the brilliance of the entire capital.
The guard of honor stopped in front of Ren's mansion.
Someone shouted: "Down the sedan chair."
The sedan chair lowered slowly.
Ren Pingsheng walked to the sedan chair and gently opened the curtain.
As in the palace, he picked up the person in the sedan chair and walked slowly towards the gate of the mansion.
Red brocade had already been spread in front of the mansion gate, and maidservants sprinkled flower petals on both sides.
Look up.
Fire red lanterns hung high.
The colorful tassels that can be seen everywhere sway gently in the wind.
An exquisitely crafted saddle is placed on the threshold. The word saddle is the same as an, which means peace.
This is the custom of marrying a bride in the north, which is slightly different from that in the capital.
Ren Pingsheng carried Chang An on his back, stepped over the saddle that symbolized peace, and walked towards the main hall.
When he arrived at the entrance of the main hall, he put down Chang An lightly, turned his head to look, and saw the cold white skin that was not covered by the veil, smooth and delicate.
She has a smooth oval face, clear eyes, and soft and fair skin. No matter how you look at it, she is a standard beauty.
Is Chang An really ruined as rumored?
Ren Pingsheng didn't know, he only knew that he was about to have another relative in this world. Although the two had never met each other, it was very common in this era to marry first and then fall in love. Slow cultivation is.
"My son, my son, it's time to hold the bride's hand, and I'm going to worship heaven and earth soon!"
A familiar voice came from beside him.
Ren Pingsheng turned his head and saw Jiang Chuyue standing not far away, reminding him with a smile.
The last time I listened to Fengge's account, you still dare to throw yourself into the trap. After the wedding ceremony, let's see how this prince will adjust and clean you up!
Ren Pingsheng calmed down, looked away, reached into Princess Chang'an's wide sleeve, searched for a while, and found a little cold hand.
He held it gently, soft as if boneless, smooth and delicate.
Compared with Xiao Rongxue, it's more concessional than not showing off.
It's just a lot colder.
Even though it was early summer, holding her little hand was like holding a piece of ice.
Could it be Gonghan?
Look back and think about whether there is a suitable elixir, and give her a good conditioning.
As Ren Pingsheng was thinking this, a loud voice came from beside him.
"Worship heaven and earth!"
Ren Pingsheng held Chang An's cold little hand, and bowed slowly to the main hall!
"Second worship!"
Facing north, bow down again.
"Bye husband and wife!"
Ren Pingsheng slowly let go of the cold little hand in his palm, turned around, and faced Chang An.
now.
The distance between the two was less than half a meter.
Ren Pingsheng could clearly see Chang An's slender eyelashes and the coldness in his eyes.
"This obeisance, we will be husband and wife from now on."
Ren Pingsheng, who was single for two lifetimes, suddenly felt a complex emotion in his heart, which was hard to describe in words.
Take a deep breath, stop thinking about it, and bow down deeply.
opposite.
So is Chang An.
At the end of the chapel, the representative will welcome the gift.
The rest is the dinner banquet for the guests, and the wedding ceremony in the bridal chamber, that is, handing over glasses of wine.
The bridal chamber has been furnished, and it is the main house where Ren Ping usually lives.
now.
Ren Pingsheng took Chang An's hand again, and walked slowly towards the bridal chamber. After burning a stick of incense, he came to the door of the bridal chamber, and saw Jiang Chuyue standing there, smiling and saying: "Your Majesty, I have to accompany the guests to have wine, I can't do it until dark." Into the bridal chamber."
Beside him, the servant girl who had been following the flower petals also said, "My lord, it's like this."
Jiang Chuyue chuckled lightly, revealing two dimples: "Don't worry, my son, the bride will not run away with the slaves guarding here."
Ren Pingsheng has held back for so many years, but he is not in a hurry at this moment, he is just a little curious about how ugly Chang An's face is under the veil.
"No matter what, it's nothing more than a face full of flesh and knife scars, and it's not impossible to gnash your teeth.
Anyway, it's all the same when the lights are turned off. If it's a big deal, you can cover your face again, as long as you can respond with a few words. "
This was what Ren Pingsheng thought before he came to the capital.
After observing Chang'an at close range today, this idea has disappeared.
Because, Chang An is far more beautiful than I imagined.
The long hair is black and bright, the skin is delicate and smooth, the eyelashes are very long, and the eyes are large.
Maybe there is a hideous face hidden under the veil.
In the worst case, let her wear a veil, which has a different taste.
Think of this.
Ren Pingsheng suddenly looked forward to the bridal chamber at night.
Come out from the courtyard.
Back to the main hall.
The maids are busy putting dishes on the table.
The guards are carrying wine from one altar to another.
There are sixteen tables in total, eight people at each table, and only a few seats are vacant.
Most of the nobles in the capital, as well as the ministers of the fourth rank and above, sent representatives to attend the banquet and send congratulatory gifts.
Although they don't want to have any contact with Zhenbei Palace.
But this banquet, after all, was the wedding banquet of Princess Chang'an and Prince Zhenbei's son, if it was too deserted, the royal family would not be able to justify it.
Therefore, everyone was in groups of twos and threes, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere seemed to be very happy.
Meet Ren Pingsheng.
Everyone stood up one after another, with smiles on their faces, and congratulated: "Congratulations to the son-in-law! The princess son-in-law has been married for a hundred years and has a precious son!"
Ren Pingsheng also smiled and bowed his hands in return.
Soon.
The table is full of delicacies.
Ren Pingsheng exchanged a few words with the few nobles who were close to him, and then raised his voice: "Gentlemen, let's have fun!"
Everyone raised their glasses in response.
Next, toast one by one.
To Ren Pingsheng, Da Zhou's wine can only be said to be an alcoholic beverage, and he was slightly tipsy just after a dozen cups were poured into his throat.
After resting for a few seconds, he continued to toast, with a gentle smile on his face, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.
On a table far away from Ren Pingsheng.
Several honorable disciples looked at Ren Pingsheng, shook their heads and sighed, and said in a low voice: "The prince of Zhenbei is indeed as rumored, he has the style of an ancient gentleman, but it is a pity that he has no talent for cultivation, and he will not become a great weapon after all."
"Achieving greatness is not necessarily a good thing. If he really has his father's talent, the current debate in the court is probably not whether to cut down the clan, but how to cut it down."
"It makes sense."
"Having said that, I heard from my old man that the attitude of the Holy Majesty has changed recently. The left servant of the Ministry of Rites who was appointed by the Lord and cut down the vassal was reused by the Majesty. According to the original statement, he should have been transferred to the Ministry of Officials as a servant half a month ago. Prepare to enter the cabinet next year, but it has been delayed until now, and the decree has not come down."
"Anything else?"
"Indeed, my old man also said that the demon clan in the south and the barbarian clan in the north are going to join forces to make trouble. The Holy One is afraid that at this time the clan will be cut down and the foundation will be shaken, so he suppresses the clan faction."
As soon as this word comes out.
Everyone around looked at him in unison, with serious expressions and torch-like eyes.
"Young Master Zhou, are you serious?" Someone couldn't help asking.
The young man didn't expect that a casual sentence would make himself the focus of sight. He was a little flustered, squeezed out a smile, waved his hands and said, "It's just a joke, a joke."
When everyone heard the words, they showed thoughtful expressions.
This young man surnamed Zhou usually idles around and is not valued in the family, but after all, he is the son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of War, and what he said is most likely not just talking nonsense.
The news that the monster clan and the barbarian clan are going to unite may have been heard by the minister of the Ministry of War when he was chatting with others.
Being able to be heard by him shows that it is not a top secret.
In other words, the alliance between the monster clan and the barbarian clan will not be long before it will be discussed on the table.
"The monster clan and the barbarian clan are one south and one north, and the middle spans half a big week. Why did they form an alliance?"
"The enemy is the same, and it is not surprising to form an alliance. What needs to be considered now is how to deal with it."
"The monster clan is declining day by day, and with the support of two mighty generals, King Jingnan and King Ning, in the south, there won't be any troubles for a while. I'm afraid that in the north, King Zhenbei may not have the same courage as before. .”
"."
The guests talked about it.
Realizing that he was in trouble, Mr. Zhou couldn't sit still. After struggling for a long time, he stood up and opened his mouth to say something. Before he could speak, he heard a sharp and feminine voice from outside the door.
"His Majesty's oral order! Give Zhenbei Wang Shizi Ren a flying fish suit for his life! A gold medal for entering the palace!"
The voice fell.
The whole hall was silent.
All the guests stared wide-eyed, looking at the eunuch at the door with disbelief.
There is only one thought in mind.
Didn't the Holy Majesty want to cut down the feudal clan?Why give such a great favor to Prince Zhenbei for no reason?
the other side.
Ren Pingsheng raised his wine glass halfway, feeling a little dazed.
For no reason, what kind of flying fish suit is rewarded?Is this letting him enter the palace to be a royal guard?
When mentioning Jinyiwei, Ren Pingsheng suddenly remembered that when Cui Yu passed the oral order, he said that after he got married, the emperor would send him something to do. Could it be true that he would enter the palace as a Jinyiwei?
"Shi, son, let's receive the reward first."
The honorable son who was being toasted, seeing him holding the wine, felt a little flustered, wiped off his sweat, and lowered his voice to remind.
Ren Pingsheng came back to his senses after hearing the reminder, put down his wine glass, walked quickly to the eunuch, and saluted respectfully.
"I thank Your Majesty Long En all my life!"
The eunuch gently placed the flying fish suit and the gold medal in Ren Pingsheng's hands.
Afterwards, hurriedly stepped forward to help: "His Royal Highness, please get up quickly."
Ren Pingsheng straightened his waist, and handed the flying fish suit and gold medal to the guards at the side.
Looking at the eunuch, lowering his voice, he asked, "Does Your Majesty have any other wishes?"
This trip can't be just to give away a piece of clothing and a brand.
The eunuch smiled and said: "There is indeed an oral order, the Holy Majesty ordered the servants to only speak to the prince."
Ren Pingsheng looked back at the main hall.
The guests with shocked faces and frozen expressions suddenly came back to their senses and returned to their original state, pushing glasses and changing glasses, talking and laughing.
"Look, father-in-law, do you want to change to a secluded place?" Ren Pingsheng asked again.
"It doesn't have to be."
The eunuch smiled and said: "Actually, it's not a big deal, but His Royal Highness Yunhe cried a lot in the hall today and didn't eat dinner, His Majesty felt distressed seeing it.
So he gave the son a gold medal for entering the palace, and asked the son to enter the palace more often to accompany His Royal Highness Yunhe in his spare time. "
"?"
Hearing this, Ren Pingsheng was stunned.
What does it mean?
To pick up girls?
Asking his son-in-law to accompany his sister-in-law, the emperor is not confused, right?
Seeing Ren Pingsheng looking at him with strange eyes, the eunuch immediately knew what he was thinking, and said in a low voice: "What I said just now is holy, I don't dare to falsely preach the imperial decree, it is a great crime to punish the nine clans."
Makes sense.
Ren Pingsheng stopped thinking about it, looked away, took out a bank note from his bosom, stuffed it into the eunuch's belt, and said, "Thank you, Eunuch."
"Slaves dare not ask for money from the prince." The eunuch hurriedly said.
"This son is getting married today, and it is human nature to give a red envelope, so don't refuse." Ren Pingsheng said.
The eunuch hesitated for a moment, and said: "The servant has thanked the son."
Ren Pingsheng nodded slightly, exchanged a few words of greeting, then returned to the main hall, and continued to toast.
just.
This time.
All the guests looked at him with strange eyes.
The atmosphere is no longer as relaxed and cheerful as before, but has become a bit more solemn.
Ren Pingsheng toasted one by one, and after greeting the guests, he walked out of the main hall, summoned the guards, and ordered: "After the guests have left, set up a few more tables with the same food, and you all have a taste."
The guard was moved in his heart, cupped his hands and said: "Yes, my son!"
Ren Pingsheng nodded slightly, and was about to go back to the bridal chamber.
After walking a few steps, Li Yong came over.
"My lord, this is a letter from His Highness."
There has always been only one His Royal Highness that Li Yong talked about, and that is King Zhenbei.
Old things are not easy, and you know how to reply.
It is not in vain to send him a letter in advance to inform him of the date of marriage.
Having said that, he and his mother were out touring the mountains and rivers, how did they receive the letter?
Ren Pingsheng thought wildly for a while, took the letter, opened it, and browsed from top to bottom.
The content of the letter has always been simple, vividly reflecting the vulgarity of the warrior.
"Son, have you seen what the princess you are so determined to marry looks like? If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer in front of your eyes. The raw rice has already been cooked, so it is useless to regret it."
"Damn! Old man, someone said that about his daughter-in-law!"
Ren Pingsheng sneered, and continued to read.
"Although this daughter-in-law, your mother and I are very dissatisfied, but you are deceived by lard, and you insist on marrying, and your parents have no choice. Now that you are married, it is not appropriate for parents not to give you something.
The bracelet was handed down by your mother-in-law. It is not a good thing. I left it for her to wear. The thing my father gave me is still on the way. I guess it will arrive in a year or so. That's all.
Do not read, do not disturb. "
A gift from a married couple will take a year and a half to arrive?
At that time, children can make soy sauce!
Ren Pingsheng complained in his heart, and then couldn't help but worry again.
He gave it, don't look back, it's something like the head of a strong barbarian, right?
It's just a wedding ceremony, just send something casually, it doesn't have to be so hard.
Thinking of this, he wanted to reply, thought for a few seconds, and gave up.
For a strong man like dad, what he wants to do must be planned for a long time, and it is impossible to change it just because of him.
Now I just hope that father and mother are really traveling around and making younger brothers and sisters for him, instead of messing around.
Ren Pingsheng sighed in his heart, looked up at Li Yong, and asked, "When did the letter arrive?"
Li Yong replied: "Yesterday morning, the person who sent the letter said that His Highness will hand it over to you after the wedding ceremony is completed."
Ren Pingsheng nodded slightly, expressing his understanding, and asked, "Where's the bracelet?"
"?" Li Yong was bewildered.
Ren Pingsheng was slightly taken aback, and his heart sank: "There is no bracelet in the letter? Didn't the sender give you a bracelet?"
Seeing Ren Pingsheng's expression, Li Yong immediately reacted, shook his head, and said seriously:
"Humble job, go find the person who delivered the letter!"
"Two days and one night, people probably ran away long ago."
"Death to a humble job!"
"A bracelet, if you lose it, you lose it. I can't blame you for this matter. I can only say that my father entrusted it to someone else."
The matter has come to this point, it is useless to entangle, Ren Pingsheng waved his hand freely, and said casually: "You go down."
"The humble job remembers the body and appearance of the person who delivers the letter."
Li Yong looked unwilling, and wanted to get the bracelet back.
Ren Pingsheng gave him a squinting look: "How do you know he hasn't changed his face?"
Li Yong was silent for a moment.
Ren Pingsheng waved his hand, and said casually, "I'm lucky if I get it, but I'm dead if I lose it. You don't know when it will come back by itself."
"The humble job understands." Li Yong said.
"Go down."
"Retire from humble office."
Li Yong turned and left.
Ren Pingsheng walked towards the courtyard, and when he reached the corner, he saw a vague figure standing in the shadow.
First he was startled, then he concentrated his attention, took a closer look, and after seeing the outline clearly, he immediately relaxed.
"Heroine Xiao?"
With a soft call, he saw the shadow, the person walked out slowly, it was Xiao Rongxue.
Ren Pingsheng looked at her and was about to open his mouth to speak, when he suddenly found blood oozing from her right arm, his heart sank, his eyes were full of concern, and he asked, "What's going on?"
Seeing his worried and nervous look, Xiao Rongxue was slightly taken aback, followed his gaze, saw the blood on his shoulder, and understood what was going on, and said casually: "The bandit's blood has splashed on me."
Ren Pingsheng was a little worried, stepped forward to take a closer look, and found that there were indeed no wounds, and then said: "A group of bandits, you want to fight in person?"
"if not?"
Xiao Rongxue shrugged her shoulders, and said calmly: "I was determined to be a knight in the rivers and lakes. Swords, lights and swords are the life I yearn for. This is very good..."
"That's true." Ren Pingsheng said.
Xiao Rongxue looked at him, thinking of the concern subconsciously revealed in his eyes just now, her heart suddenly felt relieved, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said: "A moment in spring is worth a thousand gold, don't make the bride wait too long."
After finishing speaking, he patted Ren Pingsheng on the shoulder, and walked towards the courtyard next door with a free and easy appearance of a knight-errant.
"hiss--"
When the pain hit, Ren Pingsheng gasped.
The place where Xiao Rongxue patted happened to be his wound, and the strength she used was not light.
"On purpose! This bitch must have done it on purpose!"
It took Ren Pingsheng a long time to recover from the pain, and he walked towards the courtyard again.
This time, all the way unimpeded.
But when they reached the door of the bridal chamber, they encountered another obstacle.
It was Chang An's junior sister and dowry maid, Jiang Chuyue.
"My lord, the auspicious time has not come yet, so you can't go in."
Jiang Chuyue stood at the door of the bridal chamber, with her arms outstretched, her voice clear and crisp.
Ren Pingsheng looked at her calmly, and said neither cold nor indifferent: "Stop pretending to be weak?"
Jiang Chuyue immediately put on a timid look again, and said aggrievedly: "No servant."
Candle night in the bridal chamber.
Ren Pingsheng was too lazy to argue with her, and asked, "When is the auspicious time?"
Jiang Chuyue replied: "I have to wait for another stick of incense."
The time for a stick of incense is not very long.
Just wait.
Ren Pingsheng stopped where he was and raised his eyes to the sky.
In the dim night, a round of gentle bright moon hangs on the treetops, like setting a crystal-clear gemstone in the deep curtain, and under the reflection of the stars, it looks a bit enchanting and charming.
Ren Pingsheng stared at it for a while, his heart exploded with emotion, he opened his mouth, wanting to chant a poem.
Before she could speak, she heard Jiang Chuyue's voice.
"My lord, I have something to say to you."
Ren Pingsheng withdrew his gaze and looked down.
At some point, Jiang Chuyue had already stood in front of him, only one step away.
"Say." Ren Pingsheng didn't like Jiang Chuyue, so he said coldly.
Jiang Chuyue didn't care, stood on tiptoe, and whispered in his ear, "The slave girl secretly told Shizi, in fact, Senior Sister has been thinking about Shizi for a long time, but Senior Sister is a little different from ordinary people, she likes to be shy and do things Not proactive either.
So when we enter the bridal chamber, the prince should take the initiative, the senior sister doesn't say anything, but she likes it in her heart."
Ren Pingsheng was startled when he heard the words, not knowing whether what she said was true or false, or half true and false.
But it doesn't matter.
He had originally planned to control the rhythm by himself, and it made no difference whether Jiang Chuyue said it or not.
Ren Pingsheng thought about this in his heart, and heard Jiang Chuyue say again: "Because of some reasons, the senior sister's body is weak, if the son wants to, she can only do it once a month.
Of course, if the prince doesn't dislike it, the slaves can also serve the prince if the senior sister agrees. "
The little girl exhaled like blue, and her voice was clear and sweet.
Ren Pingsheng did not feel ambiguous.
After listening to the Fengge incident last time, Jiang Chuyue only got beaten when he was with him.
After Jiang Chuyue finished speaking, she took two steps back, glanced at the sky with her big watery eyes, and said delicately: "The auspicious time has come, my son, please come in."
Ren Pingsheng glanced at her, didn't say any more, and walked into the bridal chamber.
Push open the door.
The house was pitch black.
Only a few rays of moonlight shone in through the cracks in the windows.
"After waiting for two months, this moment has finally arrived."
Thinking of this.
Ren Pingsheng put aside distracting thoughts, stabilized his mind, looked at the bed, and called softly: "Lady."
outside the house.
The breeze blew slightly, driving the leaves to make a rustling sound.
No one responded.
Ren Pingsheng looked at the cold figure on the bed, and remembered what the little girl said before coming in.
Want to be more proactive?
Thinking of this, Ren Pingsheng walked to the table and said in a gentle voice, "Lady, wait for me to light the lamp, let's get together."
The word "wine" has not yet been exported.
A figure suddenly got into his arms and hugged his waist tightly.
Warm fragrant nephrite jade into the arms.
Ren Pingsheng was suddenly distracted.
What kind of wine do you drink at this time!
"Miss."
Ren Pingsheng called softly, and stretched out his hand to hug the tall and slender man horizontally.
Before he moved, he was suddenly grabbed by the other party's collar and dragged directly to the bed.
Ren Pingsheng still hadn't realized what happened.
People have been pressed on the bed.
There were black hairs running across the face, and it was a little itchy.
immediately.
A fragrance came out.
Ren Pingsheng was a little confused, and opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
Before he could open his mouth, he was blocked by a sweet little mouth.
"Well"
Moonlight shines.
bedside.
The candles flickered slightly.
