Chapter 159 Xiao Fan’s wedding

The gold book of rituals has been issued. Under Zhu Yuanzhang's hatred and angry eyes, Xiao Fan gritted his teeth and bowed to him three times, and then led by officials of the Ministry of Rites to leave Fengtian Hall. Two Forbidden Palaces, the Han generals and eunuchs led the way. Xiao Fan was wearing a big red auspicious suit and walked towards Zhaoren Palace with a proud look on his face.

The most successful things in life, the title of the Golden List, this... Xiao Fan seems to have experienced it. At least he is currently a Jinshi. Although the identity of this Jinshi was granted by Zhu Yuanzhang, the identity of the imperial teacher is also an identity.

There is another proud thing, that is, the wedding night, which can be realized tonight.

Xiao Fan's heart was in a state of great excitement. The shameful hat of a virgin had been worn on his head for two lifetimes. Tonight, he must sacrifice his shame for two lifetimes, and completely bid farewell to his virginity and devote all his savings of more than 40 years to Jiangdu.

Everyone surrounded Xiao Fan and the group came to Zhaoren Palace in a mighty manner.

The palace, which is usually dignified and dull, looks very festive today. Dozens of eunuchs and palace maids are waiting in front of the palace gate, and they smile with blessings and look at Xiao Fan kindly.

Princess Jiangdu is gentle and gentle, and is very kind to the palace ladies. Therefore, the eunuchs and maids in the palace also have a good impression of the emperor's eldest granddaughter. Today, the princess got married, and the palace people all sincerely blessed them, loving the house and under the bride. Even the eyes of Xiao Fan were full of favor.

Xiao Fan walked towards Zhaoren Palace in a elegant and elegant manner and showed gentle smiles to the palace people. The sincerity in his smile made the palace people feel more favorable.

Zhu Yunwen stood in front of the palace gate with a smile on his face. Seeing Xiao Fan wearing auspicious clothes and cheerful appearance, Zhu Yunwen's smile became even deeper.

Behind Zhu Yunwen was a group of Zhu family children. They were all Zhu Yuanzhang's daughters or granddaughters. They all had the title of princess and princesses, and their status was very noble. They gathered behind Zhu Yunwen. When they saw Xiao Fan and others coming, they couldn't help but look around curiously, and then shrank back with shame. They hid behind Zhu Yunwen and chatted about the appearance of the new Yibin. At the end of the conversation, they laughed and played together. The atmosphere was very warm.

Passing through the rockery and ponds stacked outside the hall, Xiao Fan raised his steps just as he was about to climb the white jade steps of Zhaoren Palace. Zhu Yunwen stood on the steps and suddenly stretched out his arms and stopped him, blinking at Xiao Fan naughtyly and said, "What are you here for?"

Xiao Fan was stunned, then looked down at his bright red auspicious dress and said angrily: "You see that I'm dressing like a big red envelope, so you won't come to have a meal, right?"

Zhu Yunwen laughed loudly, then curled up his smile and said seriously: "If you want to enter the palace from me and marry my emperor sister, it will not be that easy..."

Xiao Fan raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you want?"

Seeing Xiao Fan's nervous look, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but laugh again: "It's very simple. According to the rules, you have to write a poem to urge makeup, and you have to do it so that we can all be satisfied with it before I can let you in and marry the emperor..."

The princesses behind Zhu Yunwen immediately agreed, laughing and answering.

"Who sets the rules? Didn't this intentionally make me feel troubled during the happy days? Is it possible to write any poems..." Xiao Fan suddenly became a little unhappy.

Zhu Yunwen smiled and said, "This is a custom that has been established since ancient times. Only by writing makeup urged poems can one be qualified to marry the emperor's sister. You are a man, of course you have to take the initiative..."

Xiao Fanjun's face collapsed: "Your Highness, you understand me,...I like to be passive."

Zhu Yunwen: "..."

The officials of the Ministry of Rites on the side saw that it was not a solution to waste such a waste. The auspicious time was coming soon, and it would be unlucky if the time was delayed. So he took out the makeup urged poem he had prepared and handed it to Xiao Fan quietly.

Xiao Fan took it, glanced at it a few times, and then said loudly: "Little makeup is made of silver and gold, and the ceiling is noble and natural. When the seasons are not heard in the forbidden period, the fragrance of nine autumns fills the mirror platform."

Zhu Yunwen and the princesses behind him were stunned. Before they could come back to their senses, Xiao Fan began to applaud himself and praised: "Good poem! It's so well written..."

Now Zhu Yunwen and the princess reacted, and they shouted that they would not agree, and that they would not be allowed to deal with the poems of the Tang Dynasty people. They all coquettishly asked Xiao Fan to write another poem.

The official of the Ministry of Rites was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He kept looking up at the sky and whispered in Xiao Fan's ear: "Brother Xiao, why don't you just write one by yourself. The auspicious time is coming soon..."

Xiao Fan could not write any poems. Hearing this, he was anxious. He stomped his feet hatefully and pointed at the princesses behind Zhu Yunwen and shouted: "You make things difficult for me anymore, be careful that I will marry you who are not married in the future!"

The princesses immediately stopped talking, opened their eyes wide and stared at Xiao Fan in disbelief. Zhu Yunwen's face was as dark as Bao Zheng, constantly wiping his cold sweat, and the silence in front of Zhaoren's palace...

After a long time, a princess screamed, and the princesses quickly flashed to the sides, giving way out a wide avenue that led to the hall gate. Then the princesses stomped their feet in a coquettish manner, and all of them were shy and slapped their heads.

Xiao Fan laughed, then glared at Zhu Yunwen and said, "Where are you? Brother-in-law, don't you let go?"

Zhu Yunwen gave Xiao Fan a thumbs up: "You are so powerful... You are so powerful... You can't even compare to you if you say a word."

With a big red phoenix crown and a red veil, a big red veil with the word "Happiness", Princess Jiangdu, assisted by the palace maids, walked out of the palace gate of Zhaoren Palace.

Today she became a wife of the Xiao family. Princess Jiangdu, who got what she wished, was full of joy. Although her veil covered her face, she still dyed her cheeks. I don’t know if it was excitement or shyness.

Xiao Fan stood in front of the hall gate and met Princess Jiangdu, and his heart was also very excited.

As the saying goes, good things are hard, but he almost lost his life for the sake of Huamei and Jiangdu. Now that he is in a state of great fortune, his wish has been fulfilled, and he finally has the beauty returned. Life is like this, isn’t it a pleasure!

With his hand stretched over Princess Jiangdu's delicate jade hand, Xiao Fan was full of tenderness at this moment. This is my wife. Holding hands and growing old with her means. Only when he really held hands can he understand the heavy weight, responsibility and responsibility, and from this moment on, it officially fell on his shoulders.

The wedding was the last step of the ancient wedding. Surrounded by everyone, Xiao Fan held Princess Jiangdu's hand and walked out of the palace slowly.

A group of people walked through the inner palace halls lively. Xiao Fan sent the Princess Jiangdu to the red and green phoenix, and then he also stepped onto the horse. By the Jinshui Bridge, the eunuch shook the whisk with joy and shouted loudly: "The new man is here, and the ceremonial guard is on his way--"

Outside the Jinshui Bridge, two rows of imperial guards with hundreds of people, the imperial guards with hundreds of people, immediately moved. The front team held various guards such as fans, golden gourds, and ban hammers in their hands. The back team carried the inner officials and supervisors, which had been prepared for the dowry of the princess who had been long and stretched for nearly two miles. After crossing the Jinshui Bridge, they met with hundreds of lieutenants from the Jinyiwei Fushi Department who came to welcome the bride. The drums and suona sounded loudly. A group of nearly a thousand people surrounded the princess Jiangdu and Xiao Fan, who was riding a horse next to the bride, drove towards the Xiao Mansion.

The commander of the Jinyiwei married the princess, who was the granddaughter of today. How could the people in the capital not know about such a major event?

As soon as the vast ceremonial guard left Chengtian Gate, it was surrounded by the people who came to hear the news.

Xiao Fan was once sent to the imperial prison by Zhu Yuanzhang because he was unwilling to divorce his original wife. His deeds had long been known to the people in the capital. He was in a high position when he was young, and it was even more rare that he was in a high position, but he was unwilling to divorce his wife and exchange for wealth. This intention was still rare. The people in the capital had doubled their favor for him. Many families who were waiting to marry had made secret wishes in the boudoir, wishing to marry a lover as infatuated as Xiao Lang. This life was enough.

Today, Xiao Fan had suffered all his hardships and finally got his wish and had the beauty back. The people in the capital were naturally happy to see it. So they surrounded the ceremonial guards on the streets. In addition to joining in the fun, they also wanted to get the joy and nobility of this young minister who held great power in his young master.

Xiao Fan saw the people surrounding the ceremonial guards like a tide, and kept bowing to him and congratulations. Xiao Fan couldn't help but smile with joy, turned his head to Cao Yi next to him and said, "The people are so enthusiastic. There are few congratulations for thousands of people. I want to get married a few more times..."

Cao Yi rolled his eyes and said, "Bad words... Do you dare to say this in front of the emperor?"

Xiao Fan shook his head quickly: "That's asking for death. You don't know. Just now in the Golden Palace, the emperor sprayed my saliva..."

"That's called ambergris..."

"Yes, Ambergris!"

The ceremonial guards for sending off the bride were surrounded by the people and could not move for a moment. Thousands of people were immediately trapped outside Chengtian Gate. Since these people sincerely came to congratulate Xiao Fan, the Jinyiwei was not convenient to beat and scold them, so as not to add bad luck to the happy days. So the ceremonial guards and the people stopped in place. The scene in the empty streets was like a temple fair, and the ceremonial guards for sending off the bride suddenly fell into an embarrassing situation.

Cao Yi looked at the chaotic scene in front of him with concern, sighed and said, "What should I do? If I can't walk, it will probably delay the time..."

At this time, the sweaty official of the Ministry of Rites also walked to Xiao Fanma with a panic look on his face and said uneasy: "Master, this is not enough. If the ceremonial guards are not started, they will miss the auspicious time..."

Cao Yi was also anxious, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light and said viciously: "Why just ask brothers to whip the streets? Auspicious times cannot be delayed. This is a matter that concerns you for the rest of your life..."

Xiao Fan shook his head and said, "No, the people come sincerely to congratulate me. If my brothers beat people to open the way, my reputation will be terrible, and I am afraid that I will be impeached by those censors who have nothing to do after eating..."

Cao Yi said anxiously: "What should I do?"

Xiao Fan sighed: "What else can I do? Just guide the traffic..."

So Xiao Fan got off the horse helplessly and personally led a group of ceremonial lieutenants to the front of the guard of honor, bowed to the people and shouted: "Dear fellows, thank you for your congratulations. Xiao is very grateful. I also ask you to make a way out and let the guard of ceremonies pass. It will be bad if the auspicious time is delayed. Please cooperate..."

As he said that, Xiao Fan walked forward first, shouting loudly: "Give it! Give it! Don't block it! Keep going forward, everyone behind him will follow! Be careful of pickpockets..."

"My fellow villagers, don't surround me. It's getting late. Hurry up and go home to collect clothes and breastfeed the children. There are many things waiting for you to do. What's the fun and what's good about it? It's all gone, it's gone!..."

“…”

Under Xiao Fan's command, the team began to slowly move forward. Most of the people were consciously moving away. A small number of people were blocked in the road and refused to leave. They were also stared at the vicious Jinyi Captain, so scared that they immediately flashed to the side. The road quickly returned to the open.

Xiao Fan stood next to the team, and as the speed of the bride-sending team gradually accelerated, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Before he could finish his breathing, he suddenly saw that the team stopped moving again.

Xiao Fan was a little angry now, and with a thick red neck, he quickly ran to the front of the team a few steps and said angrily: "What's going on? Why did you stop again?"

The Jinyi Captain who was leading the way in front of him angrily pointed to the center of the way, but saw a mule cart parked across the road. The mule pulling the cart was so anxious that it refused to move. The big man who was driving the cart was so anxious that he was sweating all over, afraid that these bad-looking Jinyi Captain would be impatient and chopped him up with one knife.

Xiao Fan looked up anxiously at the sky. It was getting late and he couldn't afford to delay any more. So he hurried to the cart and said furiously: "What's going on? When I got married, you got a mule cart blocking the road. You deliberately came to smash my place, right?"

The man who drove the car was frightened and pointed at the mule cart for a while and did not dare to speak.

As soon as Xiao Fan approached, he smelled a pungent smell. He frowned and pulled a captain Jinyi beside him, then pointed to the face of the captain Jinyi and ordered the man who was driving the car: "Blow!"

The man who drove the car was stunned: "Ah?"

As soon as the man opened his mouth, the captain Jinyi frowned.

Xiao Fan asked the captain: "What did you smell?"

"Sir, I smell the wine."

Xiao Fan's face changed and he said fiercely: "Drunk driving, detained for fifteen days, detained the mule cart, and returned it to him in fifteen days. Come and take down the man and mule!"

The captains responded, and then rushed up, and the road soon returned to smooth flow.

Seeing the ceremonial guards for the bride driving towards the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Fan and Cao Yi stood by the roadside and finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking at each other with a relaxed expression.

"This time shouldn't be delayed..." Xiao Fan stood in the road and looked at the guard of honor who was about to disappear from a distance. He felt a never-ending satisfaction, as if he had done a good deed, and his heart was very fulfilled.

Cao Yi looked at him strangely, then rubbed his nose and said slowly: "Mr. Xiao, do you think something is wrong?"

Xiao Fan was stunned: "What's wrong?"

Cao Yi held back his laughter and said leisurely: "The princess's phoenix has passed, and the guard of honor will not be able to see any shadows, and the auspicious time will not be delayed. But... the princess entered the Xiao family's door, who will pay tribute to her?"

"I!"

"Since you know, why are you still standing here like nothing is wrong?"

Xiao Fan's relaxed expression suddenly changed. He opened his eyes wide and stared at Cao Yi for a while. Then he turned his head and looked at the guard of honor who had been no longer visible in front of him. His handsome face instantly twisted like a loss of his parents.

"Stop... Stop, I'm still here!" Xiao Fan's voice changed and he shouted with a crying voice at the end of the distant street ahead.

"Where is the horse? Where is the horse I just rode?"

"I have followed the ceremonial guard."

"Damn! Then what are you waiting for? Let's chase after you quickly!" Xiao Fan stomped his feet in tears.

So, on the noisy street, a groom in a big red auspicious uniform and a bearded man were stumbled forward like crazy...

"These people are too uncontrollable to do things! Didn't they find that something was missing?" Xiao Fan ran and complained while panting.

Cao Yi snorted angrily: "I can't see you, you are the ones who can't help you. You said you are a good groom, a commander of the Jinyiwei, and a princess. Do you need to go down to clear the passages and roads in person?"
To be continued...
