Chapter 1212 Postscript 68·Xie Yan: I know Emperor Taizong!
"Boom!"
"Your Highness, Your Highness, get up and dress up!"
Outside the bedroom door, Qingluan knocked on the door and shouted.
Zhu Tangxi opened his eyes in a daze and found that although the red candles had burned out, the bedroom was still dark. He said with a sense of sleepiness: "Stop shouting, it's not dawn yet!"
Qingluan reminded: "It's time to worship at dawn, and His Highness still has to dress up."
After struggling in the middle of the night last night, Zhu Tangxi was really sleepy, but had to get up.
Fortunately, it was summer now, so she didn't have to fight the cold outside the bed. She closed her eyes and crawled over her husband's body, rolled to the edge of the bed and sat down, stretching her feet randomly to find her shoes: "Come in."
The door was gently pushed open, and Qingluan came in with several maids carrying basins and towels.
Zhu Tangxi is still looking for shoes with her eyes closed at this moment, half of her soul is still asleep.
As for Xie Yan, he didn't even wake up. He was lying on the bed with his arms stretched out. He was too tired and tired last night and didn't bother to put on clothes after the passion, so he just fell asleep with the princess in his arms.
Oh~~~
Qingluan and several maids glanced at it and quickly looked away, but they couldn't help but peek a few more times.
"Your Highness, put on your clothes quickly!" Qingluan ran over and said.
If Xie Yan was naked, the princess only had one or two clothes on at the moment, with her magnificent breasts exposed. But she was still unconscious, sitting on the edge of the bed in a sleepwalking state, stepping back and forth with her feet and continuing to look for shoes.
Qingluan found the shoes and put them on the princess, and quickly helped the princess put them on with the clean underwear he brought, as if he was tidying up a child.
The maids also twisted the hot towels and wiped the princess's face to wake her up.
"I'll do it myself."
When Qingluan asked the princess to lift her legs and put on pants, Zhu Tangxi finally recovered. She looked at her lower body, suddenly blushed and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go to the bathroom to wash up."
After saying that, he turned around and slapped Xie Yan's thigh: "Liu Lang, wake up, get up and wash up!"
After taking several shots, Xie Yan opened his sleepy eyes: "What time is it?"
Then he turned over and fell asleep again.
After a lot of pulling, Xie Yan was finally dragged to the bathroom.
By the time it was daylight, Xie Yan had already finished it, but Zhu Tangxi was still slowly dressing up.
In the hall.
Xie Yiqin and Wang Yitong had been sitting there waiting for a long time. They were so bored that they simply got up and walked around to look at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall.
The red candles were lit in the bridal chamber yesterday, and I waited in front of the hall to pay my respects to my uncle and aunt.
In the Song Dynasty, the system of promoting consorts to the throne was abolished in the Shenzong Dynasty of the Song Dynasty. The system of promoting consorts in the Ming Dynasty was abolished in the middle period of Ju Ming's reign.
Therefore, when the princess faces her father-in-law and mother-in-law, she is also a junior, and she has to come to see her the day after the wedding.
This is an authentic worship ceremony.
Not only that, the memorial tablets of the Xie family ancestors were also brought from their hometown and placed in the main room. They were only displayed for this day and would be removed after the worship service.
"When we got married, you were so procrastinating that you couldn't even scream while lying on the bed." Wang Yitong suddenly recalled the past.
Xie Yiqin was speechless: "Son, my daughter-in-law is visiting the church, why are you trying to drag us?"
Wang Yitong continued: "I was nervous and anxious at the time, so I got up to wash up more than an hour in advance."
"You got up early. After worshiping, you went back to sleep until the afternoon. I brought you lunch back to the bedroom!" Xie Yiqin said angrily.
But Wang Yitong smiled sweetly: "You were afraid that I would be hungry, and you were afraid that I would be rude. So you quietly ran to the kitchen, stole the roast chicken, came back, sat on the bedside, helped me up and held me to eat."
Xie Yiqin said: "Look, I am also very good to you."
"Huh, it was just during the wedding period, and I was the one who served you later. I was too stupid at the time, and I was deceived by you." Wang Yitong seemed to be complaining, but the smile on his face became even brighter.
The couple was reminiscing about their wedding days when Xie Shizhang came in with a cane.
"Father, they haven't arrived yet." Xie Yiqin said.
Xie Shizhang said: "I know, I have been walking outside. You don't have to worry, let the young people sleep more." Then he shouted outside, "Fourth, bring that thing in."
Fourth uncle Xie Yilian carried the piano case into the main room, and fifth uncle Xie Yixin followed him.
The family continued to chat, and after waiting for more than 20 minutes, Xie Yan finally appeared with the princess in hand.
The old man is sitting directly above, with the ancestor's tablet behind him.
Thanks to Yiqin, Wang Yitong sits at the bottom left.
The fourth uncle and the fifth uncle did not dare to be bowed to by the princess. They did not even dare to sit down in such an occasion, so they stood side by side at the lower right corner.
"The grandson pays homage to his grandfather."
"Granddaughter-in-law pays homage to grandfather."
A newlywed couple gave a gift to the old man.
Xie Shizhang opened the qin case, took off his qin clothes, gently stroked the guqin and said:
"Lei Gong was the first qin player in the Tang Dynasty, and the Nine Thunders in Shu were the only ones. Among the nine thunders in Shu during the Tang Dynasty, Lei Wei's achievement was the highest. Of the qins Lei Wei made in his life, Chun Lei was the most successful."
"This Chunlei Qin went through the wars of the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, and was finally collected by Hunjun of the former Song Dynasty. Hunjun built Wanqin Hall, and Chunlei Qin was known as the first product in Wanqin Hall. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Chunlei Qin was taken to Wangchuan Valley by Taizu Later, a royal family presented the harp to Emperor Longsheng, who in turn gave the harp to King Tao."
"When I was invited to live in Prince Tao's house, Prince Tao was already seriously ill. On the day I left Beijing, Prince Tao sent someone to chase me to the dock and gave me this Spring Thunder Qin. Yesterday's wedding banquet was so noisy, but the sound of Spring Thunder was also Not suppressed."
"I estimate that I won't live for a few more years, so I'll give this piano to you as a wedding gift. Don't refuse. I don't have much, but I can still afford this spring thunder."
Zhu Tangxi was so moved that she respectfully held the piano and caught it, then bowed again and said, "My granddaughter-in-law thanked my grandfather!"
Xie Yan said with a smile: "Grandpa is so generous. My grandson cannot repay such an expensive gift. I will let you hold your great-grandson next year and have fun."
"It's a deal!" Xie Shizhang was still looking forward to holding his great-grandson.
Zhu Tangxi put the Chunlei Qin away and went to pay homage to her father-in-law and mother-in-law: "My daughter-in-law pays homage to her uncle, and pays homage to her aunt!"
Xie Yiqin nodded in return.
"Good boy," Wang Yitong took out a pair of jade bracelets and put them on the princess. "Although this bracelet is not expensive, it is my dowry. I wish you a harmonious husband and wife and a long life together."
How could the dowry bracelet of a daughter of a wealthy family in Baoding not be valuable?
Zhu Tangxi said: "Don't worry, aunt, I will definitely serve my husband well."
Wang Yitong was even happier when he heard the word "serve". He took the princess's hand and said, "If Liu Lang bullies you, you will punish him severely. If he still doesn't change, send a telegram to me, and then I will come in person with a stick."
Beijing."
"My daughter-in-law must send a telegram to her aunt." Zhu Tangxi smiled happily.
Xie Yiqin listened to the conversation between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and gave his son a look that linked his fate.
Immediately, Zhu Tangxi went to visit his fourth uncle and fifth uncle. They were so frightened that they quickly bowed in return. They really did not dare to accept the princess's greeting.
The worship service is over, and the tasks of the relatives of the Xie family are also completed.
They must move out of the princess's residence tomorrow and return to the temporary mansion. After the princess returns home, the emperor will send someone to the mansion to reward the consort's relatives.
…
The next day, Zhu Tangxi took Xie Yan into the palace to meet the emperor, and had dinner with Queen Mother Ye and the young emperor in the palace. It was considered as a return ceremony for the princess.
On the third day, sacrifices were made to the Ancestral Temple.
The layout of the Imperial Ancestral Temple is that the main hall is divided into the front hall, the middle hall, and the back hall, and there are east and west side halls on both sides of the main hall.
The front hall is a place for worship.
The middle hall is where the tablets of emperors and empresses are placed.
The apse is the place where the distant ancestors of the royal family are worshiped - in his later years, Ju Ming put the tablets of his grandparents before traveling through time.
The east hall is dedicated to deceased emperors and relatives, and the west hall is dedicated to ministers worthy of the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
This ceremony of offering sacrifices to the Ancestral Temple was not a big one. It was just to tell the ancestors that the Zhu family had another son-in-law.
The entire sacrifice was arranged by Taichang Temple, with Zongzheng Temple assisting, and the participants were all members of the royal family.
The little emperor also came.
Xie Yan and the princess followed the etiquette and worshiped with the royal family members outside the palace, and then followed the Queen Mother and the Emperor alone into the front hall to kneel down.
There are many chairs placed in the front hall, and the chairs are usually empty.
When offering sacrifices, please bring the emperor's clothes and tablets enshrined in the middle hall and place them on chairs in the front hall as if he were there in person.
On the wall behind each chair, there is a portrait.
The little emperor has grown up by another year and has learned the ritual of worshiping. He kneels in front of the emperors and empresses and recites words. It probably means that the Zhu family is prosperous and this year they have a son-in-law.
After some ceremony, Xie Yan and Zhu Tangxi came forward to burn incense and offer sacrifices to the emperors and empresses.
The clothes and tablets of Taizu and Taizong were placed in the center, with Xie Yan closest to them.
Taizong's clothes were very conspicuous. They were actually a pair of armor, with a sword placed horizontally on top of the armor.
Xie Yan was a little dazed. Why did this armor look more and more familiar?
It was too far away from the emperor's statue before, but now he can see it clearly when he gets closer. Xie Yan looked at the portrait of Taizong. It was a portrait of a middle-aged man with a beard, which vaguely reminded him of a certain funny anchor.
Xie Yan's previous surname was Hou, and he was a title writer in a small town.
During the epidemic, he stayed at home.
There are actually no cases of COVID-19 there, and only when big cities are in trouble, towns and villages are occasionally closed down.
Before the epidemic was completely lifted, Xie Yan also returned to big cities. However, the real estate industry was in recession at the time, and it was difficult for him to find a professional job. He could only teach himself computers and deliver food at the same time.
That winter when epidemic control was completely relaxed, many of the deliverymen around Xie Yan suffered from ejaculation.
He didn't have anything to do, and because the Spring Festival was approaching, he simply went back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year, and by the way, he helped his uncle's small town express delivery station deliver goods.
There are several villages in the area, but there is only one express delivery station in the town. The villagers basically come to pick up the express delivery themselves.
But there are also some express delivery services that must be delivered to your door.
For example, a certain funny anchor’s armor and sword!
The anchor was a foreigner and rented a private house with a small courtyard outside the town. He would send and receive express delivery from time to time and was a big customer of the express delivery station.
"Xiao Hou, help me take down the selfie stick."
"Brother Zhu, this thing is quite expensive, isn't it?"
"Eighty thousand."
"Damn it! It's really 80,000 yuan, I might as well buy a full set of skins for Honor of Kings."
"Xiao Hou, shoot around me."
"Brother Zhu, you are playing two tricks."
"..."
The dead memories suddenly began to attack Xie Yan.
That funny anchor, wearing a king's armor, was broadcasting live in the yard. After dancing with a spear for a few times, he was exhausted and out of breath.
Xie Yan turned to look at the princess and muttered in his heart: Brother Zhu, how many generations of your great-granddaughter have I slept with?
Damn it, Brother Zhu has only left the town for two years, so why is there a gap of more than a hundred years between me and his time travel?
