I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

The person who knew Li Shen best in the entire Tang Dynasty was Li Shimin. An imperial decree allowed Li Shen, who was originally dawdling, to return to Chang'an three days early.

As usual, Li Shen entered the palace immediately to pay his respects to Li Shimin. Li Shimin only said that Xue Rengui had left a report and asked Li Shen to go to Daji Hall to find Concubine Wei.

There is no way, in fact Li Shimin also has a lot to say to Li Shen, but Li Shen's wedding is coming soon, and the royal wedding is not like ordinary folk weddings that only have six rituals and seven items.

Weddings in the Tang Dynasty were very formal, and the wedding procedures strictly followed the six ancient rites. There were 22 wedding procedures for the emperor, fifteen for the prince, and thirteen for the prince.

Nacai, asking for names, Naji, Nazheng, asking for a date, registering a concubine, personally welcoming, sharing the prison, meeting the concubine in court, wedding party, women's ceremony, enjoying the husband's gift, and enjoying the woman's gift.

And each item has many small new projects,

Li Shen actually only had two days to learn etiquette. Even if he took the time, Li Shimin felt that his son might not be able to complete it, so he could only study early and late.

Xue Rengui was left to just ask about the situation at that time, and the rest would be explained in detail after Li Shen got married.

After Li Shen arrived at the Daji Palace, he received a scolding from Concubine Wei. The main content only focused on one point: Li Shen traveled westward and almost missed his wedding date. He also encountered barbarian attacks, which made Concubine Wei very worried.

Li Shen just stood there obediently and listened, nodding his head. Concubine Wei scolded her for two quarters of an hour but she didn't repeat it.

This made Li Shen feel that mothers in ancient times and modern mothers were the same, and there was never a concept of insufficient vocabulary.

Finally, after Li Shen said that he should hurry up to prepare for the wedding, Concubine Wei stopped the scene of Sanniang teaching her son. Then he sent Li Shen to pay his respects to the Queen.

It can be said that Li Shen's wedding has basically nothing to do with Concubine Wei. As the mother of all the princes, the queen needs to take care of these things.

As soon as Li Shen arrived at the Zhengdian Palace, he was scolded by Empress Changsun again, including a three-mother-in-law show.

However, Empress Changsun was more sensible and only scolded her for a quarter of an hour. Then he was asked to return to his residence, and officials from the Ministry of Rites would immediately go to his residence, as well as people from Zongzheng Temple.

When Li Shen returned to the palace and had just bathed and changed his clothes, the housekeeper came to report that officials from the Ministry of Rites and Zongzheng Temple had arrived.

Li Shen went over and took a look, good guys, there are about ten people here. There are seven or eight rites departments and two Zongzheng temples.

Did Li Shen really want to train so many people on etiquette? It's nothing more than what you should do when you welcome someone in person. There are many specific operations in the wedding process, and you just need to follow the host's instructions.

But when Li Shen started studying, he realized that ten days, not to mention two days, was enough for him to learn, starting from the welcoming ceremony, which house should he stay in the day before arriving at the palace, what time should he start the next day, what clothes should he wear, and which door should he walk through. What car to take.

When you arrive at the palace, you should first go to where you want to go, then worship your ancestors, come back to welcome the bride, then after taking a bath, you have to go to the palace to worship again, and finally come back to hold the wedding.

"Your Majesty, that's wrong. You got up early. You have to wait until His Majesty gets up before you can get up."

"Your Majesty is wrong, you should take the leadership position,"

"Your Majesty, the musicians can't leave until they start playing."

"Your Majesty, you should step forward with your left foot first."

Damn it, Li Shen finally got mad.

"You, you, I'm talking about you. What did you just say? I have to remember which foot I take first???"

"Yes, Your Majesty, His Majesty will have some music when he leaves the West Room, and then he will lead the Prince to offer sacrifices. During this period, there will be two kinds of music. Your Highness must follow the time for each kind. If His Majesty steps out with his right foot first, he will be one step short of His Majesty."

Nonsense, Li Shen didn't believe it, the number of steps was the same whether it was left or right foot.

"Your Highness, there is not enough time. Please do as we say." An official from the Ministry of Etiquette implored.

If Li Shen was wrong at the critical moment, they and other officials would be guilty.

Seeing their pitiful looks, Li Shen curled his lips.

"Ok."

"The prince has arrived~~~~" The palace guard let out a long groan, and saw the prince Li Chengqian walking in. There was no need for Li Shen to open the middle door to greet him.

Behind her was Crown Princess Su.

"Brother, are you here to save me?"

Li Shen has finally seen his relatives. Li Shen is not afraid of anyone. These people from the Ministry of Etiquette are nothing, they are mainly the two clan members.

They specialize in managing the clan for Li Shimin, and they will punish you for every crime.

Li Shen had long realized that Li Shimin had arranged for someone to supervise him.

"Haha, what else are you afraid of, Tenth Brother?"

“I’ve met my sister-in-law”

Li Shen ignored Li Chengqian's teasing.

"How are you doing?"

Li Chengqian asked the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

"Back to His Royal Highness, the etiquette of entering the palace has just begun."

"Alas~ It's hard for you. Two days is not enough. I practiced for five days, big brother." Li Chengqian also sighed for Li Shen.

"Brother, were you like this back then??"

"Do I have two more items than you? You are practicing too slowly. Hurry up and practice. Come and show me."

Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"Brother, are you here to watch the fun? I can't get enough of it, and I'm bringing my sister-in-law with me. Do you want me to serve you some tea and snacks?"

Li Shen rolled his eyes, this was too unreliable.

"Haha, tenth brother, your eldest brother is here to help you." The princess on the side said with a smile when she saw the two brothers bickering.

"What can you help me with?" Can this still help? Are there any secrets?

"Aye asked me to come. Aye knows you very well and knows that you will definitely be lazy. He is afraid that you will disgrace the royal family.

The first thing I did when I came was to pass on Aye's oral instructions. The ceremony was not held in the palace, but in the Tai Chi Hall. "

"What did you say?" Li Shen's voice changed a bit. Surprise was not enough to describe it, it should be panic.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites and the clan officials on the side were also extremely shocked.

"Hurry, prepare your horses, I want to enter the palace." Li Shen was a little panicked.

There were only two people holding the wedding ceremony in Taiji Hall, Prince Li Chengqian and King Wei Li Tai. Li Shimin never held a wedding there.

This signal was so dangerous that Li Shen was afraid. , even Li Zhi, who was raised in the palace, had a ceremony held in the Li Zheng Palace.

Li Shenxiao couldn't bear this honor.

"Tenth brother, tenth brother, don't panic." Li Chengqian had quick eyes and quick hands and grabbed Li Shen's arm.

"Brother, brother, this is going to kill someone. I have to go to the palace and tell Aye no." Li Shen panicked. He was afraid that Li Shimin would be doomed if he used him as a whetstone.

And this incident will send a bad signal to the outside world.

"Haha, don't be afraid, tenth brother. Aye and I just discussed this matter. Aye asked me for my opinion. Aye said that you have done a lot for the court over the years, but you have never been rewarded. This time all Consider it a reward for you.

Lao Shi, you are different from other princes now. You can share worries for Aye, and you can also share worries for elder brother.

You also saved mother and Chang Le. These achievements are more than enough for you to hold a ceremony in Tai Chi Hall.

Moreover, Aye has another purpose this time. There will be many envoys from foreign countries participating that day, in order to show the wealth and strength of the Tang Dynasty. "

"Brother, are you saying that Aye is using my money to show off Datang's wealth?"

This is his father's character.
