The wedding date chosen here in the capital is the date of the wedding in the Han Dynasty palace, so naturally the man is the most important.
This time it was still dark, so Princess Han broke into Shangguan Yu's yard and asked the nuns to lift Shangguan Yu out of bed, who wanted to beat him up, and freshen up.
It didn't take long for the man to dress up. When Shangguan Yu dressed in a red robe, Princess Han's eyes turned red.
"Go and offer incense to your father." This was the first time Princess Han admitted the fact that King Han had passed away.
Even though she knew it was a show, Princess Han still wanted to cry loudly and ask the King of Han, who was somewhere, if she might be able to come back in time to attend her son's wedding.
"Mother Concubine..." Shangguan Yu's smiling face also showed a sad look.
Several months have passed, and all the forces in the Han Palace have been used, but no trace of the Han King has been found.
Even if there are not as many hidden piles of the Han Palace in the south as there are in the north, there shouldn't be any clues at all.
"Don't worry, Concubine Mother. Today is your wedding day, so you should be happy. Concubine Mother believes in your father, and she will definitely want to see you happily marry the Crown Princess."
He held Shangguan Yu's hand and walked out, just like he did when Shangguan Yu was a child.
Princess Han said with tears in her smile: "My mother-in-law has been exhausted these years. I will help you manage it for a few more years at most, and the Hanwang Palace will be completely handed over to you. Taking advantage of the newlyweds, there is another mother-in-law in the capital."
, you and Ling'er should go out for a walk more often when circumstances permit. When you get older, you won't be able to walk anymore."
"My son knows." Shangguan Yu replied.
Although in Shangguan Yu's memory, the family of three did not spend much time together, he always remembered the promise of the King of Han and his wife to see all the beautiful scenery in the world.
Nowadays, the whereabouts of the King of Han are unknown, and it is unknown what kind of situation he is in. Whether such an agreement can come true is also unknown.
However, Shangguan Yu knew in his heart that what Princess Han cared about most was not whether she could travel across the mountains and rivers, but whether King Han could come back alive.
The mother and son came to the ancestral hall and left the servants outside.
"Place a stick of incense for your ancestors and tell them that today is your happy day. Please bless your ancestors that you will be safe and that the palace of the Han Dynasty can survive for a long time." Princess Han lit three sticks of incense and handed them to Shangguan.
Yu.
There is no rule in the Han Palace that women are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, otherwise the Han Princess would not be able to enter the ancestral hall easily.
Shangguan Yu knelt on the ground with a serious expression, respectfully held up the fragrance and bowed three times.
"My ancestors and ancestors, Shangguan Yu, the 156th generation descendant of the Shangguan family, is getting married today. I came here to pay homage to my ancestors and ancestors, and to ask for the blessings of my ancestors and ancestors in heaven. May the incense of the Shangguan family continue to grow!" Shangguan Yu was very excited!
He kowtowed, inserted the incense candle in the incense burner, and added silently: "Please, ancestors, bless my father for his safe return."
"Yes, I will." Even though Shangguan Yu didn't say anything, Princess Han still understood his intention of pausing for a moment, and said firmly but choked with sobs.
Shangguan Yu clasped his fists and helped Princess Han out of the ancestral hall.
Guests have already arrived one after another, and some childhood friends who are similar in age to Shangguan Yu, regardless of their friendship over the years, have all arrived at the Han Palace.
It's just that except for Xiao Mu, they are all in groups of children, and there are also groups of wives and concubines in the backyard.
"Congratulations to the Crown Prince, you are about to marry a beauty like Princess Jixiang as your Crown Princess. You must not return home until you are drunk today."
"I really didn't expect that the prince got married late, but he married better than us. If we had known that a good woman would be behind us, we shouldn't have been in a hurry to get married."
"Don't talk nonsense. For a dandy like you, no good woman will be engaged to you. Your tigress is a perfect match for you."
"What do you mean? If you don't explain it clearly today, I'll beat you up!"
Amidst the congratulations, a group of aristocratic children could not help but flatter and tease each other, but they did not take action regardless of the occasion.
Not to mention that they were here to attend a wedding banquet, given Shangguan Yu's temper, whoever dares to cause trouble today will suffer consequences later.
"My father has ordered the emperor to attend the wedding banquet. There is no need for you to be polite. Today is your special day. You are the most important thing." The prince strode over and patted Shangguan Yu's shoulder twice with a smile to show the mutual respect between the two.
The relationship between them is cordial.
Shangguan Yu's expression remained unchanged, he nodded, raised his hands in the direction of the palace, and said, "My lord, please remember Heaven's grace."
The prince looked a little worried. Shangguan Yu didn't even mean to be polite to him. He completely disrespected him as the prince.
Thinking of a certain rumor, the prince's eyes flashed with a fierce look, but he said to Shangguan Yu: "Father knows that the Han Palace is grateful, the prince does not need to be so cautious. Is there an emergency coming soon? I am here, waiting.
I’m waiting to see you welcome the new couple back and get married.”
The prince's appearance made all the aristocratic children who were either not in the official position or had very low official ranks quite uncomfortable, but there were also many people who fawned over him.
In just a moment, the prince assumed the position of a master, sat on the throne, and began to win over the available people.
"These bastards are just like when I was a child. They will never be able to achieve anything in this life." Qin Xiao put his hand on Shangguan Yu's shoulder and asked in a low voice: "What do you think of that person?"
"..." Shangguan Yu turned his head and looked at Qin Xiao, as if he didn't understand the meaning of his words.
"That's the one on the throne..." After Qin Xiao finished speaking, he slapped himself on the mouth, "Today is a good day for you to get married. Let's not say these spoiler words and talk about it when we get together another day. Let's go, buddy.
Go and get married!"
Shangguan Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at the smiling prince with his peripheral vision, but did not express anything in this regard.
Four good brothers, now that Xiao Mu is away, Qin Xiao and Ouyang Xun will naturally come to accompany Shangguan Yu to welcome the bride.
After all, Duan Yulang was the son of a merchant, and his wedding was approaching, so he did not follow him to Beijing.
Therefore, the group of relatives and friends in the wedding team are all the children of high-ranking officials and nobles. This team alone is astounding. Compared with the pomp and ceremony of the princes welcoming the bride, it is not bad at all.
Today there is the last betrothal gift, which has to be carried to the Bai Mansion. This time it will be left to the Bai family and will not be used as a dowry.
As the firecrackers were lit at the entrance of Prince Han's Mansion, and the sound of joy rang out, Shangguan Yu got on his horse, beat the horse and walked in the procession to welcome the bride.
Qin Xiao and Ouyang Xun rode their horses to accompany them. Three of the four major princes in the capital gathered together, eclipsing the other young princes who accompanied them to welcome the bride.
"It would be great if Mr. Xiao is here. The four young masters gather together and just look at their faces. I can have a good dream for a month."
"Prince Shangguan is the first to get married. I don't know what kind of women the other princes will marry. But there will never be anyone better than Princess Jixiang, right?"
"It's true that Princess Jixiang is not only beautiful, has superb medical skills, but also has a kind heart, can make money, and has good luck. Such a woman will definitely have a prosperous husband, and maybe the Han Palace will not be passed down from generation to generation."
The people watching the excitement were talking a lot, and Shangguan Yu became even more excited as he listened.
On the other hand, Qin Xiao's expression changed momentarily, and soon changed to a blessing expression.
As for Ouyang Xun, he turned sideways and said to Shangguan Yu: "You heard me, my sister is a fairy-like person. You must treat her well in the future and don't let her be wronged, otherwise I won't be able to spare you."
"You, as a sworn brother, don't give me as many gifts as Duan Yulang and the Qin family, and you have the nerve to teach me a lesson?" Shangguan Yu smiled, but he focused on Ouyang Xun's shortcomings.
"I can't help it. People are poor and have short ambitions. But it's quick. When your child is born, I will give you a generous gift." Ouyang Xun touched his nose and found a step for himself.
Nowadays, the Ouyang family is falling apart. Ouyang Xun, the expelled direct son who is not the young master, is in a very delicate situation. It is normal to have no money. (To be continued)
