The canonized decree came faster than expected.

On March [-]th of the first year of Xuanhe, before the draft period came, Li's mansion received the imperial decree first, and at this time, only a few days had passed before the Spring Banquet.

After Li Bangyan received the imperial decree, he sent off the imperial chief who delivered the decree with a red face: "My son did not disappoint my father. I heard that this imperial decree for concubine concubine was requested by His Royal Highness, and the prince is very fond of my son! "

There was a princess concubine in the house, and everyone in the whole house was honored, and Li Bangyan was even more high-spirited and happy.

Li Qing's expression was the same as before, with a faint look of joy, and mixed emotions in her heart.

The crown prince's wedding is an important matter for the country. After the imperial decree to seal the concubine was issued, Qin Tianjian took Li Qing and the prince's birthday to calculate the wedding date. Not long after, Li Qing received a notice from the clan's mansion that she and the prince's wedding date was set in the year after.

The wedding date was fixed, and the clan's mansion sent the guard of honor of the crown princess to the Li mansion, and at the same time sent the nuns and female officials in the palace to teach the future crown princess the necessary palace etiquette.

On the third day of April in the first year of Xuanhe, the palace draft came to an end. Song Huizong decreed that Liang Yudie, Cai Jing’s granddaughter, should be crowned Prince Liangdi, and Tong Yu should be named Prince Ruren. The west door is carried into the East Palace.

When Li Qing heard the news, she only smiled lightly, without any disturbance in her heart.

On the contrary, Li Bangyan was quite worried. The crown princess had not yet married into the Eastern Palace, and the two daughters Liang and Tong were the only ones in the Eastern Palace. He was afraid that they would join hands to seize the favor first, which would make Li Qing a stumbling block. Some news from the East Palace came out.

Li Qing listened to the news from the East Palace that Liang Liangdi and Tong Ruren were jealous of each other, and at the same time, the foster mother was teaching the benefits of the palace rules, making up for the relationship between the royal family and the families of officials, etc., and at the same time learning how to use it The status of princess and concubine treats people.

After a few months like this, the foster mother announced with satisfaction that Li Qing had left her teacher, and then returned to the palace to return to her command.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for the next engagement, and the clan's mansion came in and out to carry the customary dowry gifts into Li's mansion, and the most astonishing thing among them were two wild geese.

In the Song Dynasty, when a man and a woman got married, there was a custom that the man hired a wild goose, implying that the man promised the woman that he and his wife would be of one heart and one mind, and that they would love each other.

Among them, live geese are the best, because wild geese have only one partner in their life, so the employment of live geese also means that they will not accept two colors for life.

However, because live geese are hard to hunt, and people in the Song Dynasty emphasized literature and martial arts, dead geese were used as substitutes for men's appointments.

Due to the noble status of the royal family, the custom of getting married between men and women has long been abandoned by the royal family. No one expected that there would be a pair of live geese in the prince's betrothal gift.

It is said that this is the wild goose that the prince personally went to the hunting ground to catch alive early in the morning, which shows the importance he attaches to the future princess.

All of a sudden, the ruling and opposition parties all shifted their attention to Li's mansion. Since he was hired, Li Bangyan has received many officials' favors, and he is in the limelight.

In this regard, Li Qing frowned, with doubts in her heart.

The royal family of the Song Dynasty emphasized culture and suppressed martial arts, and none of the members of the royal family were the type capable of literary and martial arts. Even if they paid more attention to this wedding, the prince would not like hunting and other activities, let alone catching a pair of live geese with his own hands.

Could it be the wild geese who used bows and arrows as a show to let the guards capture them alive?

But this seems to be inconsistent with the prince's temperament...

Li Qing frowned and pondered.

The temperament of this prince is carved out of the same mold as today's. He is a person who loves fine brushwork poetry and poetry, and has no achievements in political affairs. One or two of his favorites are as many as crucian carp crossing the river.

The women in the Eastern Palace were almost battling like black eyes, but they looked as close as sisters in front of the prince, but the prince seemed blind and couldn't see it, and only thought that the harem was harmonious.

She and the prince had just met each other once, so how could there be any real affection!She didn't even know why the prince suddenly valued her so much. It couldn't be love at first sight?

Li Qing shook her head, shaking off the unreliable guesses in her mind.

Those who serve others with color, their color fades and they love to relax, how good can they get when their appearance is gone?

Whoever is serious is a fool.

Of course, it is better for the prince to attach importance to this wedding than to be perfunctory.

Time flies like running water, and it's the wedding day in a blink of an eye.

On the day of the wedding, Emperor Ji Jiade, as the wife of Wufu selected by the clan, took the emperor's ceremonial guard to send the princess's high-grade costumes to Li's mansion. After prostrating, all the female officials circled around Li Qing, and first served her to change into the princess's gown. , and then dress up, waiting for the prince to come to welcome the bride.

The courtyard where Li Qing lived was filled with all kinds of dowry, including 160 sets of jewels, pearls, silk, cloth, and newly-made furniture.

The head of Lincheng County gave her makeup in the name of a handkerchief, and turned around and entered Li Qing's boudoir as a companion.

Not long after, the ladies who participated in the spring banquet a few days ago also brought makeup gifts one after another.

"One comb to the end, the second to comb the white hair to match the eyebrows..."

Li Qing sat in front of the dressing table with long hair and a shawl. Jiade Diji took the comb from the female officer's hand, and the comb teeth gently brushed her waterfall-like black hair. Every time she combed her hair, there was an auspicious word.

This is also the meaning of blessing.

"Congratulations, princess."

From getting up to now, from time to time, the maidservant ran to the door to kowtow to say congratulations, Zhu Dan stood at the door and changed into a happy new clothes, and a servant who came to kowtow to congratulate would give a red envelope, and it didn't stop in the morning.

After busying for a long time, he finally sent away the last lady begging for a wedding bag. Zhu Dan took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Just as he was about to go back to the house, he heard a crisp eagle cry from above his head.

"Wow!"

It was Hongdou's voice, full of joy and excitement.

Zhu Dan was slightly taken aback.

Ever since Li Qing returned home, Hongdou and Xiangsi separated, and the whole eagle was depressed for a long time.Seeing that it was in a low mood, Li Qing feared that it would get bored, so she let it out.In the beginning, Hongdou went out early and returned late every day, but after that, she didn't see him for a few days. Li Qing didn't want to keep it, so she let it go.

Speaking of which, Zhu Dan has not seen red beans for several months.

"Hey! Sigh!"

Hongdou circled back and forth low above Li's mansion, chirping loudly, it could be heard that it was very happy.

Zhu Dan looked curiously at the reputation, and saw the red bean swooping down suddenly, and landed deftly on the high eaves. The eagle's body swayed and stuck to the other aloof and cold sea dongqing, bowed its head as if flattering, enthusiastically Comb the hair of Costin.

Hai Dongqing seemed to be aware of Zhu Dan's gaze, cast a faint glance, and quickly looked away in disinterest.

"Acacia?"

The Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty are thousands of miles away, and Acacia has always been inseparable from Yu Canaan, so why did she suddenly appear in Bianjing City?

Could it be that Yu Canaan also came to Bianjing...

Zhu Dan's face changed slightly, and a strong uneasiness welled up in his heart.

The girl is going to get married today, so don't wait for something to happen.

No, she had to tell the girl about it.

Zhu Dan managed to gather himself together, turned his back and restrained his emotions, and walked into the house.

After taking two steps, the woman who reported the news shouted beamingly: "His Royal Highness is coming down to welcome the bride!"

"His Highness actually came in person?"

Empress Jiade said in surprise, she subconsciously looked at Li Qing, her eyes showed shock, since the founding of the Song Dynasty, this is probably the first concubine to be greeted by a prince in person.

It can be seen how much the prince cares about.

"Hurry up and give the crown princess a phoenix crown! What about the fan?"

Emperor Ji Jiade urged, even if a female official puts a phoenix crown on Li Qing, she slaps Li Qing to cover her face.

After everything was ready, Emperor Ji Jiade asked, "Go and find out, where is His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"His Royal Highness has been stopped by the young master in the front yard, and he is currently composing Cui Zhuangshi. It is estimated that he will be in the back yard soon."

Emperor Ji Jiade nodded, and winked at the female officer sent by the clan's mansion. The female officer straightened her expression and kept saying auspicious words.

After a while, the crown prince in fiery red wedding dress came down to the inner courtyard surrounded by a group of brothers.

"The prince welcomes the bride, please go out and get on the sedan chair!"

At three o'clock, the master of ceremonies shouted.

All the maids and women in Li's mansion knelt down and shouted together: "Respectfully send the Crown Princess out."

Li Qing covered the lower half of her face with a fan, only showing picturesque eyebrows, and stepped out of the boudoir step by step.

Li Bangyan's eyes turned red, and Mrs. Liu stood beside him and wiped away tears.

"Daughter bid farewell to parents."

Li Qing stopped, bowed her knees to Li Bangyan and Mrs. Liu and bid farewell.

"Good good!"

Li Bangyan said with a choked voice, "I have nothing else to ask for, but I only hope that my son will manage the palace affairs after marrying into the East Palace, abide by the responsibility of concubine, and sing with the prince in harmony until old age."

"Daughter thanks father for teaching."

Li Qing bowed her knees again.

The two palace matchmakers took a step forward, trying to help Li Qing onto the sedan chair, but the prince who was standing beside him waved him away.

While everyone was stunned, the prince suddenly picked up Li Qing and carried her out of the Li residence.

Li Qing suddenly raised his head, at the same moment the prince looked down, his four eyes met each other, his dark eyes were full of emotion, the strange feeling was fleeting, before Li Qing could study it carefully, the official media suddenly heard the news A voice at a loss: "This...is not in compliance with the rules!"

The official media wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.

Emperor Jiade said in a low voice: "The prince is the king, and what the prince does is the rules."

The official media was taken aback for a moment, and should be in a hurry.

While the two were talking, the prince had already carried Li Qing onto the sedan chair, and then rode on the tall horse by himself.

With the sound of the master of ceremonies getting up the sedan chair, the mighty welcoming team slowly marched towards the imperial city.

Until Li Qing went out, Zhu Dan did not find a chance to tell her about the sudden appearance of the female eagle Acacia. Zhu Dan was worried all the way, pretty and white, for fear that something might happen. To the East Palace.

At this time, it was dark.

"Please ask the princess to fan the fan, and have a drink with the prince."

Li Qing took off the palace fan covering his face, the prince sat on the edge of the bed, and the palace man brought two glasses of amber wine in a golden cup, the prince took the wine and handed one of the glasses to Li Qing.

The two of them crossed their arms and bowed their heads to drink a cup of wine together.

When Li Qing sipped the wine, besides the aroma of the wine, she could faintly smell a familiar cold fragrance.

She subconsciously looked at the prince. Although the latter did not say a word, he looked back at her with bright eyes. Those eyes were like the deep night sky, filled with brilliant brilliance.

His face was even more unconcealable with red light and happy brows.

However, Li Qing frowned deeply, and the strangeness in her heart became more and more intense.

"Licheng."

As the master of ceremonies finished speaking, all the palace people in the room knelt down to congratulate: "Slaves, please congratulate the prince and concubine on their wedding."

"Good good!"

The prince laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, his eyes seemed to be glued to Li Qing's body and he couldn't pull them out. He looked rather silly.

This looks more and more familiar...

Li Qing looked suspiciously at the prince next to her over and over again, and for a long while she scolded her mother severely in her heart.

Grass!

"Princess?"

Seeing that the prince had finished drinking the cup of wine and put the cup on the tray, while the princess was holding the cup and stood still for a while, the maid urged in a low voice.

Li Qing hurriedly put the wine glass on the tray, watched the palace lady back away, gritted her teeth, tried not to break out on the spot, and maintained a flat expression on her face with difficulty.

The maidservants in the palace are all human beings, seeing the prince's thoughtful appearance, they smiled knowingly and retreated like flowing water without anyone's orders.

As soon as the palace servants left, there were only Li Qing and the prince left in the East Palace.

"Qing'er, let's arrange it."

The prince stretched out his hand nervously to shake Li Qing's hand, his eyes almost overflowing with anticipation.

Li Qing endured and endured, but in the end she couldn't hold back her anger and said, "Replacement? You're a guy in someone else's skin! What identity are you going to use to resettle me?"

Even so, she still remembered that this was in the palace with many eyes and ears, and she finally lowered her voice.

The prince was stunned, but the next moment he was overjoyed: "Senior sister, you...do you know that I am the one who married you?"

"..." Li Qing was so angry that her heart ached, "How did you sneak into the palace?!"

She originally thought that Yu Canaan was emotionally hurt and left for the Western Regions after being rejected by her. She never thought that he would secretly plan to make Li Daitao stiff!

He even had the audacity to take the place of the prince and come to meet her and marry her. This wolf cub is really desperate!

No wonder she felt that the prince's temperament was changeable a few days ago, and the most abominable thing was that he... even tried to use his identity as the prince to marry her!How did Yu Canaan come up with such a coquettish idea?Brain kicked by a donkey? !

What if Li Qing didn't find out?

Could it be that he plans to be the "Prince" for the rest of his life?

"Yu Canaan." Li Qing almost growled, "Do you know what you're doing! You're not afraid... Aren't you afraid of being caught by someone?!"

Yu Canaan said in a low voice: "Senior Sister, I sneaked into the palace for several months and observed Zhao Heng's every word and action day and night. I can guarantee that even if I stand with the real Zhao Heng, no one will be able to tell the truth from the fake. There will be no mistakes in keeping it!"

Do you think you are playing the real and fake Monkey King?

His body is full of loopholes, and he is still self-righteous!

"..."

Li Qing had a headache and supported her forehead.

She originally wanted to ask, when did Yu Canaan drop the prince, but seeing his indifferent expression, she was really angry and anxious, and her whole body was trembling with anger.

If he couldn't make a mistake, how could he be recognized by her just by meeting him?

"Even if you can confuse the real with the fake, don't forget that the palace people around Zhao Heng have been serving him since childhood and have been with him for decades. Even if you don't notice it for a while, there will always be times when people will suspect you! How do you deal with yourself? Can you stop everyone's mouth?"

Li Qing was almost defeated by him.

"What's more, if you do this, what good will it do you?"

Imitating other people's behavior and behavior, disguised as others, and finally allowed himself to live as someone else, so as a substitute for the rest of his life, what good would it do him?

It can't be for being the emperor, can it?

Li Qing herself didn't believe it when she said this.

Yu Canaan gritted her teeth, "What else? Do you want me to watch my senior sister marry someone else?!"
