King's Landing GL

Chapter 15 Wedding

In the seven days before getting married, these people from the Qin Kingdom successfully made me realize what life is worse than death.Now I finally understand why Liu Rufeng and Su Yu, one is 48 years old and the other is 28 years old, are not married yet.

too painful!

For the past seven days, I have spent every day under Xiao Taozi's cursing, words such as: deadly sleeve, bastard, thing with no eyesight, vulture, idiot and so on.At the same time, he also spent all kinds of tortures by the etiquette officials, such as: practicing walking posture with bricks on his head, the way of saluting, the procedure of big wedding and other court etiquette. .

What a painful realization, I successfully despaired of getting married.

But before I had time to suffer, it was the day of my big wedding.

On the tenth day of April, the sun is shining brightly, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, and everything is growing.

However, at Yinshi, I was dragged up from the bed. I was so angry in my heart, I kept cursing in my heart that these vicious Qin people didn't treat me as a human being.

I really didn't wake up, I sat in front of the dressing table with my eyes closed, and let the group of palace people comb my hair and dress me. After nearly an hour and a half of torture, I finally felt that my sleepiness had subsided a little. .The eyelids that had been closed all the time opened a little, yawned, looked out the dark window, and asked:

"What time is it?"

"Mr. Hui, it's just past two o'clock." An elderly court lady said to me.

"......"So early!The chickens aren't up yet, are they?Is it really okay to drag me out of bed in the middle of the night? !

Is it really good? !

I endured the words of swearing, and after tidying myself up, I walked out the door like a dog... like a human.When I saw the beaming posture of the Zongfu's lanterns and festoons, I deeply felt what a prodigal woman I married...

I feel my heart is bleeding, even though I already knew that the king's wedding is not only a big scene, but also a big movement, big rules, and big troubles.But when I really saw it with my own eyes, as a countryman, I was still terrified.

Fortunately, I don't have to pay for the marriage.

I reckon that Murong Bai only got married when he was 23 years old, so he shouldn't be worried about all the ups and downs, right?For this matter, the Empress Dowager and the important officials of the court were afraid that they would search their brains and choose from thousands of choices, and their hearts were broken.

I heard from Xiao Taozi that the Queen Mother personally presided over all matters of the wedding. After discussions between the Ministry of Rites and the officials of the Imperial Academy, the Imperial Academy was responsible for drafting the documents, and the Ministry of Rites was responsible for making books and treasures. Government and other departments, prepare supplies and gifts.

The burden of Qin Tianjian is not light, and he is responsible for choosing good days and auspicious days in order to perform the six rituals.

......

It's just getting married, so why spend so much trouble?I rubbed my chin and thought, with such a big posture, I don't know how that woman Murong Bai got over it.I looked at the sun gradually rising in the sky, and thought in a daze: At this moment, I don't know what Murong Bai is doing...

What is she thinking now?

Qin Palace

Today Qin Wangbai is getting married, and the whole Qin Palace is very lively.Perhaps because of the etiquette of the big wedding, it is rare to see members of the royal family and court officials, maybe once in a lifetime, so everyone in the palace came to join in the fun.

At three quarters of the Mao hour, outside the Xuanzheng Hall.I only heard the officials of the Qin Tianjian speak loudly to the entire Qin Palace in an extremely majestic and solemn voice:

"The auspicious time has come!"

Therefore, Murong Bai, the master of the Great Qin, wore a black long robe, with red sleeves trimmed with joy, and still had cold eyes and expressionless face.I can't see the joy that should be there in a big wedding.

Alone, surrounded by ministers, guards, and eunuchs, she stepped into the Xuanzheng Hall to the sound of music and was seated.

The princes and ministers kowtowed to the ground and shouted long live.

The Xuanzhi official received the edict, stood on the east side, announced the edict loudly, appointed the principal and deputy envoys, and went to the Zongfu to meet him in person.In the sound of music, the two envoys honored the festival and the edict.

After the ceremony, Murong Bai retired.

During the whole process, Murong Bai remained expressionless.She didn't know what she was thinking, or what to think.

I got married just like that, at the age of 23.

This year was seven years since Murong Wen's death.It turns out that time really changes a person, the girl who said she would only marry Murong Wen.

They were both young that year, and they were still chasing each other's dreams, thinking that a promise could keep them together forever.But time flies, the old man is no longer coming back, after many years, will the old man blame her for breaking the vow?

...Probably, no.

Zongfu

I was wearing a red and gold-trimmed black robe dress, and I stood upright in front of the gate of the Zongfu. Behind me were the servants of the Zongfu, and in front of me were the people of the royal capital who came to see the excitement.

Well, it is indeed a grand wedding.

After the principal and deputy envoys sent by the palace arrived at the mansion and read out the decree, I got on the horse and began to welcome them in person.

Welcome.

There is no doubt that this is a technical job plus physical work.

Does technology work?It's because there are too many rules.

The principal envoy held the festival, and the deputy envoy held the imperial edict; the guard of honor and the drum band led the way and set off from the Zongfu, blowing and beating all the way around most of the royal city.

Do you do physical work?It's because I'm starving.

You dragged me out of bed in the middle of the night and tossed and tossed until now I still haven't given me a bite to eat. Are you not hungry?

After finally arriving at Qin Palace, it was already noon.

With my hungry chest sticking to my back, I thought it would be fine to just go in at the door at noon.

result!In the end, I overestimated these Qin people too much!

I got off the horse, looked at the noon door that couldn't be opened, and asked the little Taozi next to me:

"What does this mean?"

A pair of blank eyes answered me, and I felt helpless for a while.

Of course I know what to do next, but I didn't expect these folk customs to exist during the process of marrying the King of Qin.

Did you make a mistake?I'm still hungry...

But they don't care whether I'm hungry or not, they only care about Murong Bai forever.

I raised my eyes and looked at a group of people from Qin Palace headed by Xiao Taozi, all of them were staring at me.The corner of my mouth twitched, I had no choice but to raise my voice, and said loudly to the noon gate:

"Joy envelops the door, the light moves Qiluo Xiangmo, walks under the crape myrtle flowers, and realizes that the body is extraordinary.

There is no need for vermilion powder to damage the innocence, I am afraid that it is too red and white, so I keep the dark eyebrows and the shallow part, and the picture book is □□. "

After saying that, the gate opened at noon, and a team of two palace servants came out, followed by a group of imperial guards.

My waist went numb, and I immediately had an ominous premonition.

really:

"Please sir, give us auspicious money to open the door~"

When the two palace attendants fully opened the scroll, I was deeply intoxicated by the numbers written on it.

99 taels.

Does this mean forever?

What an expensive day!long!land!Long!ah!

"Sir, if you can't hand over this auspicious money, you won't be able to see your majesty."

Eighty percent of the people in these two palaces feel that robbery is not enough, and they also want to stimulate me verbally.The corner of my mouth twitched fiercely, is it really okay for you Qin people to rob in disguise like this? !

real!of!good!? !

I smiled flatteringly:

"I want to give it, but I really don't have that much money..."

In the whole world, I am probably the only one who is so useless in marrying a wife.

"Well, the servants don't know."

I:"......"

Just as the two palace men and I were staring at each other at the door, the internal affairs envoy came towards me with a plate:

"The officer has seen Mr."

"Well, what's the matter?" I didn't even lift my eyelids.

"The next official is ordered to hand this thing over to Mr.

When I heard it, I thought it was food, so I hurriedly looked up, but only saw a beige booklet on the plate.

I cursed secretly in my heart that this housekeeper has no eyesight, but in front of so many people, I can only pick it up and look at it.When I opened the first page, I saw a few lines, which probably said that the auspicious money for opening the door was temporarily lent to Wang Jun by the internal affairs, and Wang Jun would pay it back in the future.

I glanced at the internal affairs envoy and smiled without saying a word.

I kept cursing his whole family up and down in my heart, this is simply a bond of prostitution!

Even though I'm upset, there is no better way to marry Murong Bai now, I can only succumb to the oppressive power of the Qin people.After I signed my name reluctantly, I pressed my finger prints, and that's it, I sold myself...

But anyway, this auspicious money is a thing of the past.

Finally entered Qin Palace!

After finally entering the Meridian Gate, I got on the horse prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and walked around the entire Qin Palace with gongs and drums, and then I went around the Hall of Supreme Harmony where the wedding was held.

Do you think it's over?

No, of course it's not over.

Do you think the people of Qin would let me go so easily?So when I was stopped outside the Taihe Gate, I looked calm.

Fortunately, these people didn't embarrass me very much this time, they just asked me to hand over the festival and the watch to the eunuch, the chief of ceremonies.Then the eunuch, the eunuch, will go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to restore the king's order, and the official wedding ceremony will begin.

Finally getting to the point... I thought to myself.

Hall of Supreme Harmony

Murong Bai and I, who were dressed in wedding robes, met at the foot of the long stairs in the main hall. On both sides of the stairs were the palace ministers.

I looked at Murong Bai who was wearing the same new clothes as me. Although his face was cold, he was still so magnificent, which made me fall in love.I paused, then extended my hand to make an invitation.Murong Bai's gaze was always calm, without showing any emotion. As expected, she stretched out her hand and put it in my palm.

I tightened her hand, then took her hand and walked up the 99 steps.

Music starts.

Above the main hall, Murong Bai and I held the red ribbon together and entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony together.

The empress dowager and Liu Rufeng were sitting on the main seats in the main hall, they were smiling so heartily, and the courtiers below all congratulated each other, the content was nothing more than the beauty of a man and a woman, a match made in heaven...

and many more!

Liu Rufeng? !

My eyes widened, shouldn't the person sitting on it be Su Yu?How did you become Liu Rufeng? !

I looked at Liu Rufeng suspiciously, but the old rascal just raised his eyebrows at me very ambiguously, and smiled without saying a word.

My head went black, forget it, I don't bother to care about them...

Anyway, as long as someone attends my wedding, it will be fine.

The wedding goes on.

Only Mrs. Li on one side said loudly:

"Bless the heavens and the earth

Second worship to the old man

three worship

Husband and wife worship

Li Cheng. "

With my mind blank, Murong Bai and I finished worshiping in front of the Qin Palace ministers and my master.

Don't ask me how I feel, I only feel hungry!

After worshiping in the hall, the festivals, certificates, gold seals, etc. used to welcome the relatives and enshrine the king are all placed on the temporary table in the hall.I walked over with Murong Bai, pretending to check it out before taking my seat.

Just like that, I became the husband of King Qin.

Murong Bai's husband.

Looking around, there are lights and festoons everywhere in the palace.All the main palaces are equipped with firecrackers and large red candles with the characters of double happiness in gold.

The imperial road is paved with red felt.

Zhonghe Shaoyue is located in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and Great Music is located in the Gate of Supreme Harmony.The Fajialu book is displayed in the Hall of Supreme Harmony and the courtyard.

All the princes and ministers stood beamingly on the Hall of Supreme Harmony and in the courtyard of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Three quiet whips sounded, and amidst the sound of drums, the princes and ministers gave the eighteen kings of the "Book of Qin Liyuezhi Eighth" Nawang Junzai.

After the ceremony, the wedding banquet began.

From the moment the Queen Mother ordered the wedding banquet, Murong Bai was taken back to the Palace of Longevity by the palace people.And as the groom's official, I looked back at the palace ministers who were looking at me with ill intentions, and I was already desperate.

It seems that this drinking can't be shirked...

Fortunately, I have been visiting brothels since I was nine years old, so I am afraid that you will fail? !

However I underestimated them!

Eighty percent of these individuals are still very unhappy because I had a blast with Murong Bai's engagement banquet a few days ago.So now that I have the opportunity, it is natural to force me to death.

No, there are also toasts here, and there are toasts over there. One cup is not enough, but three, four, five or six cups are needed.After drinking for three rounds, even though I have a good capacity for drinking, I still feel a little dizzy now.

When I was thinking of some way to get away, I heard my dear mother-in-law... no, it was the mother-in-law, the queen mother had spoken, saying that the king is too drunk to let me go back and rest first, and a spring night is worth a thousand dollars.

Those palace ministers didn't dare to disobey the Empress Dowager even though they were unwilling to do so.

And me?Naturally, he was helped out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

But on the way, I thought about it, and felt that being escorted to the Hall of Eternal Life to meet Murong Bai...wasn't it too cheap?

So I plan to walk to the Hall of Eternal Life by myself!

I didn't feel well at all on the way, dizzy and sick to my stomach.If it weren't for someone else who could support me a little, I guess I would have fallen unconscious by now.

When we arrived at the Hall of Eternal Life, the matchmaker waited anxiously, and came up and said to me:

"Your Majesty Wang Jun, you can be considered to be here... A spring night is worth a thousand gold, come and come."

I blushed and didn't dare to say anything, so I had no choice but to follow the matchmaker into the Hall of Longevity.

Hall of Eternal Life, um...I've been there more than once or twice.But never have I been as shy and nervous as I am now.

At the entrance of the main hall, it is also Murong Bai's bedroom, which is also the wedding room of this big wedding.

The matchmaker led me to stand at the entrance of the main hall, and recited the "Ode to the Gate of the Hall" that I had recited hundreds of times:

"The gate of the hall is square, and there are four-fold beds inside, twelve screens, and brocade quilts."

And at this time, the door opened.I was also pulled into Murong Bai's bedroom by the matchmaker. With instinct, I saw at a glance that there was a dining table under the west window of the new landlord's room, and in front of the table were beans, urns, and gui, which symbolized the feast of the husband and wife. , Basket, Zu.

I know that this has the same meaning as folks eating one-pot meals in the future.

After entering the bridal chamber, there is another worship activity, which is held before the marriage ceremony, and the newlyweds sacrifice together.Every time there is a sacrifice, the couple will have a meal together.

After the worship, my stomach is finally full, so I won't be hungry for food and sex.

When I came back to my senses, I looked at Murong Bai who was sitting on the bed and had changed into a red wedding dress and a hipa on his head. For no reason, my palms suddenly broke out in sweat.

She doesn't speak, I don't speak.

In the quiet air, I seemed to hear a faint sigh.

The matchmaker gave me a push, and I took a few steps forward, sat next to Murong Bai, and finally stretched out my hand to give Murong Bai a hipa.

The matchmaker said again: "Hey."

I lowered my eyebrows, my eyes twinkling.

He 卺, originally meant to break the gourd from the middle, divide it into two, and put it together to form a complete gourd.

Cut open the gourd and hold the wine separately.Because gourds are bitter, it must be bitter wine to hold wine.Husband and wife drink together wine, which not only symbolizes that the husband and wife become one from the wedding, and will be together forever, but also has the profound meaning of letting the bride and groom share the joys and sorrows.

To perform the ceremony of joining the swastika, you have to drink three times in total to be considered perfect.

At the beginning of offering wine, I wear the same clothes as my son.

The next offering of wine, eat with the son.

Finally, sacrifice wine and grow old with your son.

After drinking the wine, the matchmaker left with the palace people in the bedroom.When it's coming, don't forget to say to us:

"Happy marriage for a hundred years, we will be united forever, and we will give birth to a precious son early."

My head is black:

Have a baby early?How did the two girls give birth? !

I sat on the edge of the bed a little stiffly, and the one sitting next to me was Murong Bai, the king of Qin, oh, now it is my wife.

After the matchmaker and the palace people went out, Murong Bai and I were silent.

I stared at the floor and she looked out the window.

What is this called...

When I was thinking about how to speak, Murong Bai suddenly stood up, and my heart tightened.But Murong Bai ignored me, she was wearing a big red wedding dress, she walked to the window with her back to me, it took a long time for her cold voice to reach my ears:

"Late at night."

I:"......"

Are you suggesting I should do something?

Seeing that I was silent, Murong Bai turned his head slowly. Her peerless face was still known to the world as indifferent, but it was hidden in the candlelight, which inexplicably made my heart skip a beat.

She said:

"do you like me?"

I was startled, did I act so obviously?

But she didn't give me a chance to speak, she said again:

"I like you very much."

An emotion that I couldn't explain spread out in my heart, I raised my eyes and stared at her obsessively, forgetting to speak.

She said lightly:

"So it doesn't matter if you like me or not."

In a hurry, I opened my mouth and said:

"I like it...I like you very much..."

Murong Bai chuckled lightly, his eyes warming me like sunshine:

"you sure?"

I nodded.

She asked again:

"Then who are you in love with...thinking..."

I fell silent for an instant, not knowing what to say.

I admit that I like Murong Bai very much, but when it comes to love, my heart is blank...no one exists.

This feeling is very subtle, and I think it's probably because I didn't understand the depth of love when I was young.

Murong Bai finally turned around. Standing in front of me, she slowly raised her hand to untie her belt, removed her hair accessories, and then took off her coat.I turned my face away, not daring to look at her.

She walked up to me, wearing only her middle coat and inner coat, and said softly:

"I wish you could love me..."

"...Why?" After a long time, I asked back.

In the silent air, Murong Bai stretched out his hand and turned my face away, forcing me to meet her pretty face.Her eyes, which were always as calm as water, were filled with firmness at this moment, and she paused word by word:

"Because I'm going to love you."

Then bent down and hugged me gently.

At that moment, I suddenly remembered that day when I went to see the Lantern Festival with her, in the midst of fireworks, she stood in the lingering rain in March, wearing the mask I gave her, and when she turned her head and smiled at me, my heart beat The voice is like this moment.

I slowly hugged Murong Bai back.

I have no way to reject her, no way to keep myself from getting close to her, no way to keep myself from falling in love with her.

All the bets on me in this game, the moment I hugged Murong Bai back, I declared that I had lost everything.

future.

How can I understand how much pain I have.

How could she understand how cruel she was.

I bet everything, just ask her for her sincerity.

Her love is false, and she only rules the world for her.

In the quiet night, I replied in Murong Bai's ear:

"I'll love you too."

Those who stood quietly outside the window felt cold in their hearts.

Finally, he stepped forward and left.

Under the bright moonlight, her blood-red gown is so ironic.

No one knows what she is thinking at this moment, no one understands her pain at this moment.

The love she could never say is now being told by another person.

The love she could never have is now being squandered by another.

And she can only be a supporting role quietly.

Be by that person's side, with all her affection.

Idiot, why bother?
