Phi-Fic Chapter 207 The Big Wedding
Chapter 207 The Big Wedding
October 21st is auspicious for getting married, offering sacrifices, praying, and traveling, and there are no taboos.
On this day, the entire imperial city was bustling with activity.
After the wedding date was set, Yun Jingxian hurriedly moved out of the palace and moved into the Ruiwang Mansion which had already been built.
As for Yun Youde and Lin Huixin, they went to Prince Rui's Mansion the day before.
At this time, Yun Zhi opened another memorial and was about to pick up the pen to review it when a female official walked in.
"Your Majesty, Prince Rui has gone to welcome his bride." The female official reported softly, her voice particularly clear in the quiet hall.
As soon as the female official finished speaking, Yun Zhi paused slightly with the red brush in her hand, and then continued to write the unfinished annotations, "Got it."
Seeing this, the female official quietly stepped aside.
After a while, Yun Zhi put down her pen, stretched her stiff fingers, looked out the window at the setting sun, her mind filled with thoughts.
Time flies so fast. The little boy who used to say in a baby voice, "Sister, your name is Yunzhi. I will protect you from now on," is now married.
Yun Zhi didn't know why, but for a moment she felt a tightness in her chest.
My parents are getting older, my brother is getting married and starting a family, and in the end I will be alone again like in my previous life.
The sadness hadn't even faded for a moment. Yun Zhi chuckled and shook her head, murmuring, "I'm truly obsessed. The alternation of day and night, the separation of life and death, I can't change it, but..."
She can change who rules the world.
Thinking about the battle report sent by Li Shun yesterday, Yun Zhi stood up with a happy expression.
"Come here, go to Prince Rui's mansion." Yun Zhi ordered.
Soon, Yun Zhi's dragon chariot arrived at Prince Rui's Palace.
Yun Zhi got off the dragon chariot and looked at the Prince Rui's Palace, which was hung with red silk, and even took in the two stone lions outside the door.
It was not early when she arrived. There was a lot of traffic outside the mansion and all the guests who were supposed to arrive had already taken their seats.
Seeing the person coming down from the dragon chariot, the housekeeper, guards and servants at the gate of the mansion hurriedly knelt down to salute.
With a crash, everyone knelt on the ground in an instant.
Yun Zhi waved her hand, signaling everyone to stand up.
The steward of Prince Rui's mansion stood up and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the prince has gone to meet his bride and will be back soon. Please come into the mansion and rest for a while."
Yun Zhi nodded slightly, and walked into the palace surrounded by the crowd.
The house was decorated with lights and was bustling with activity. Yun Youde and Lin Huixin had already sat in the middle, waiting for the newlyweds to arrive.
When the guests inside saw the dress that belonged to Yunzhi alone, they hurriedly stood up and prepared to salute.
Yun Zhi gently raised her hand to stop their greetings, "No need to be polite. Today is my brother's wedding day. There is no need to be formal. Just enjoy yourself."
Only then did everyone take their seats.
Looking at her parents who stood up as soon as she appeared and looked at her with loving eyes, Yun Zhi walked towards them.
Arriving in front of them, Lin Huixin took her hand and said, "The emperor is here, please take a seat. Your brother will soon bring his sister-in-law back."
After saying that, Lin Huixin pulled Yun Zhi to a position above.
After knowing that Yun Zhi would attend the wedding, Yun Jingxian specially asked someone to prepare it.
After seeing Yun Zhi sit down, Lin Huixin returned to her seat and sat down with Yun Youde.
Just then, a burst of joyful sounds came from outside, and Yun Jingxian's wedding procession returned.
After a series of rituals including archery and jumping over a fire basin, Yun Jingxian and Hu Zhiyi, holding the two ends of the red silk in their hands, walked into the hall amid the cheers and blessings of the crowd.
Seeing Yun Zhi arriving, Yun Jingxian's eyes lit up. Meimei is here.
Getting married is a major event in life, so he naturally hopes to have his family and friends witness it.
He only knew that his sister would come today, but he didn't know when.
During this period, Yun Zhi became busy again, and Yun Jingxian originally thought that she would only arrive when the toast was given.
I never thought that he would arrive before the wedding ceremony.
Just as Yun Jingxian was getting excited, the emcee beside him shouted, "The auspicious time has arrived!"
Hearing this, Yun Jingxian quickly calmed down and stood side by side with Hu Zhiyi.
"Worship heaven and earth!"
Yun Jingxian and Hu Zhiyi slowly bowed towards the door.
"Two thanks to the high hall!"
The two turned to face Yun Youde and Lin Huixin and saluted respectfully.
"Couple greetings!"
Yun Jingxian and Hu Zhiyi bowed to each other.
"The ceremony is completed! Send it to the bridal chamber!"
The two stood up. Yun Jingxian looked at Hu Zhiyi, who was covered with a red veil in front of him, his eyes filled with unconcealable joy. The person he had loved for three years finally became his wife.
The next step was to send them to the bridal chamber. Yun Jingxian took Hu Zhiyi out of the lobby and headed towards the bridal chamber.
Yunzhi stayed in the lobby, drinking and celebrating with the guests.
After a while, Yun Jingxian, who had changed his clothes, came out. Unexpectedly, he also pulled Hu Zhiyi, who had also changed her clothes and taken off her red veil.
Suddenly, the originally bustling lobby became quiet for a moment.
This... this is not polite.
Just when some ministers were about to speak, Yun Zhi, who was sitting above, coughed lightly.
Feeling the implicit threat in Yun Zhi's voice, the ministers who were about to speak swallowed back the words that were about to come out.
After a while, the lobby became lively again.
Hu Zhiyi took note of all those who were about to criticize him.
She is a very vengeful person. Did these people think that she would no longer attend court after becoming a princess, or did they think that she had been too gentle during this period, so that they dared to interfere?
Why should she only stay in the room and not come out to toast? Women can be officials, so why can't she toast?
Let's break the etiquette that women cannot toast at their weddings by starting with her.
A thought flashed through his mind, Hu Zhiyi pulled Yun Jingxian's sleeve, and the two walked in front of Yun Zhi.
Hu Zhiyi took the wine jug on the tray from the servant standing beside him and filled a glass for himself.
"Your Majesty, this glass of wine is for you. Thank you for coming to our wedding and for helping us out just now." She said the last sentence softly, and then drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing Hu Zhiyi's smooth movements, Yun Jingxian also hurriedly poured himself a glass, "Your Majesty, I also toast to you. May our dynasty prosper and you be content."
Yun Zhi smiled as she looked at the perfect couple in front of her, "May you live in harmony and grow old together."
After toasting Yun Zhi and Yun's parents, Yun Jingxian and Hu Zhiyi began to toast the guests.
Most of the guests were influenced by the current thinking and did not think there was anything wrong with it. They looked at the newlyweds approaching and raised their glasses to congratulate them with smiles.
As for those old-fashioned ministers, they didn't dare to say much since Yun Zhi was not around.
From this perspective, the entire wedding banquet can be said to be a great success for both hosts and guests.
After a while, seeing that it was getting dark, Yun Zhi stood up.
Seeing this, Yun Jingxian and Hu Zhiyi hurried over: "Your Majesty, are you going back to the palace now?"
Yun Zhi nodded, "It's getting late, I should go back to the palace."
Yun Jingxian and Hu Zhiyi stood together and said in unison, "Farewell, Your Majesty."
Yun Zhi left Prince Rui's Mansion with everyone's respectful farewell.
After Yunzhi left, the banquet continued, and even became less restrained and more lively because of Yunzhi's departure.
At this time, a group of people surrounded Ning Cen, all of them were military generals of Anguo, who came to ask him for advice.
For these studious people, who now have joined his side, Ning Cen naturally tells them everything he knows.
Listening to the intermittent words coming into his ears, Ning Qingwu on the side smiled faintly.
It seems that my father has adapted to this place faster than I have. After only a few days here, he has already established good relationships with the officials here.
So what path should I take in the future? I can't always rely on my father.
Ning Qingwu's eyes looked around and happened to meet Chen Yuanshu's eyes.
Noticing Ning Qingwu's gaze, Chen Yuanshu nodded at her.
Ning Qingwu raised her hand and touched her heart. She seemed to know which path she should take.
This can also be considered as... inheriting my father's business.
The moon was at its zenith. After three rounds of drinks, the guests dispersed one after another. The gate of Prince Rui's Palace also slowly closed with the departure of the last guest.
