Chapter 619 Princess's Wedding Night After the emperor's health was well, Long Yan was naturally overjoyed. He chose an auspicious day to formally receive and entertain Zuo Shaoyang, the prospective consort, in the reception hall. This is the first step for Princess Chang Le to get married. The Zuo family had three marriages to attend, but the last two were for Zuo Shaoyang's sons and daughters. Naturally, they couldn't interfere with their father's marriage, so they agreed to handle Zuo Shaoyang's marriage first, and then arrange for their legitimate son Zuo Wenyuan to marry Xincheng at the same time. The marriage of the princess and Zuo Wenzhi to the ninth prince Li Zhi. On the day of the meeting, Zuo Shaoyang put on new clothes, rode a small donkey, surrounded by three entourages pretending to be super masters, and escorted by countless imperial guards on both sides of the street disguised as passers-by, businessmen, etc., arrived. The palace hall. Here, a banquet has been held, all the important officials of the imperial court have arrived, and the emperor and his eldest grandson Queen are going out. At this time, the emperor made his comeback appearance for the first time after falling ill. The rumors in the court that the emperor was critically ill were self-defeating as Li Shimin talked and laughed and frequently raised glasses. These old ministers were very happy. They all praised Zuo Shaoyang, the quasi-consort genius doctor, and toasted him one after another. Zuo Shaoyang naturally drank until his glass was dry, and the banquet ended happily. According to the rules, if the consort does not have an official position, the emperor must confer an official position. Eunuch Luo repeatedly worked for Zuo Shaoyang, but Zuo Shaoyang refused to become an official. Finally had to give up. Marrying a princess as a commoner was unique in the history of the Tang Dynasty. As part of the wedding, Emperor Li Shimin rewarded Zuo Shaoyang with brocade clothes and jade robes, several gold and silver utensils, silk and satin, and countless gold and silver jewelry. There are also two little donkeys with shiny coats, dressed in red and colorful clothes. These gifts were neatly placed in the square outside the main hall. After the banquet, Zuo Shaoyang rode on a little donkey. The royal band played, played, sang and drummed in unison. The music played in the front to open the way. Zuo Shaoyang wore red and colorful colors and rode a little donkey in the middle. Behind him They were a number of large boxes, also dressed in red and colorful colors, carried by the eunuchs. He returned to Zuofu in a grand manner. Originally, according to the rules, the Prince Consort's Mansion was to be built for Zuo Shaoyang and his legitimate son Zuo Wenshan, but Zuo Shaoyang disagreed and asked the princess to marry into his home and live with his parents. Emperor Li Shimin agreed and allocated two sums of money for the construction of the Prince Consort's Mansion to the Zuo family to build and expand their own mansion. Since then, Zuo Gui¡¯s father has started to get busy. After all, two princesses are going to live in the house, so they can't neglect it. Father Zuo Gui decided to build the two courtyards to be super luxurious. Fortunately, the Zuo family is very rich now, not only from the savings from the field harvests in the past fifteen years, but also from the jewelry worth hundreds of thousands brought back by Zuo Shaoyang from the Western Regions. Then there is Zuo Gui's own official salary, plus two funds allocated by the emperor for the construction of the Prince Consort's Mansion. So ultra-luxurious new build and extension homes are a no-brainer. In order to flatter the princess, no expense was spared. The emperor also ordered to requisition a large area of ??residential houses next to the Zuo family's backyard and build two princess mansions for the Zuo family. Of these two mansions, one is for Princess Chang Le and the other is for Princess Xincheng who is to be married by his legitimate son Zuo Wenshan. The Zuo family residence was further expanded. The royal wedding lasted for several months, so Father Zuo Gui had relatively ample time, but he still personally supervised the construction on the construction site, urging the work to be completed day and night, striving to complete it as soon as possible. A month later, it¡¯s already midsummer. Eunuch Luo came to visit and told Zuo Shaoyang that the emperor decided to depose the former prince Li Chengqian to a commoner for treason. He was demoted and moved to Qianzhou. Originally, he was planning to make Li Zhi the crown prince, but considering the wishes of the divine doctor Zuo, he decided to make the third prince Li Ke the crown prince! This result is exactly what Zuo Shaoyang originally expected. It also made Zuo Shaoyang feel relieved. As long as Li Zhi is not the prince, Wu Meiniang will not be the queen, and will have no chance to become the queen, then her daughter will be safe. After learning the news, Zuo Shaoyang held a banquet at home to celebrate, and even let his daughter Zuo Wenzhi drink a few glasses of wine. The whole family knew why he was so happy, and he wouldn't tell if they asked him, but when they saw him It¡¯s hard to be so happy, and I¡¯m so happy. After another two months, the two consort courtyards of the Zuo family were finally completed. Empress Changsun and Eunuch Luo came to inspect it in person. At first sight, this courtyard was a hundred times more luxurious than the ordinary Prince Consort's Mansion! Inside there are pavilions, winding corridors, small bridges and flowing water. The queen was very satisfied. A few days later, it was already the golden autumn season, and the agreed day to marry the princess finally came. On the wedding day, despite Eunuch Luo's repeated requests, Zuo Shaoyang would rather not have the princess than ride on a horse. Eunuch Luo finally had no choice but to compromise and let Zuo Shaoyang ride on a donkey and wear the royal robe and jade robe given by the emperor. Go to the palace, send several loads of betrothal gifts into the palace, and then go to Princess Changle's palace to marry the bride. The procession for seeing off the bride was also extremely luxurious. In order to show solemnity, the emperor?Li Shimin personally drove the bride to see her off. He came forward, and naturally the queen, concubines, princes and other relatives of the emperor followed him. Ever since, it has become a grand exhibition for the royal family and relatives. Princess Chang Le, with a phoenix crown and Xia Pei, left the palace in an eight-carriage sedan chair, led by Zuo Shaoyang riding a donkey in front, and escorted by groups of palace maids and eunuchs to the playing of the royal drummer. Followed by hundreds of boxes of red dowry. Then came the procession of the emperor and his relatives holding yellow umbrellas to see off their relatives. The emperor, queen, and concubines sat in sedan chairs, and the princes rode horses. It stretches for miles. The emperor¡¯s marriage to his daughter is definitely headline news in the capital, not to mention the fact that the emperor personally delivers the bride. Both sides of Zhuque Street were already crowded with people. Everyone came to see the excitement. When they saw the new prince-in-law riding a little donkey, and heard that he was a doctor from a newly opened medicine shop, they all marveled and asked, "Why did the emperor marry his daughter to a doctor?" Knowing some inside information, he talked about Zuo Shaoyang¡¯s experience with great joy. Of course, many of them were taken out of context. As a result, there were many versions of Zuo Shaoyang¡¯s identity and origin. A young man from Zuo Shaoyang actually married a noble princess. It was a novelty no matter how it was said. Zuo Shaoyang rode a little donkey and led a huge procession to welcome and see off the bride. After playing and beating, he finally returned to Zuofu. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The doctor who treated them had now adopted the title of princess and become the prince-in-law, Old Man Li and his wife, were even more surprised, and followed the neighbors to come over to congratulate them. But they couldn't get in because the emperor was inside and the entire Zuofu Mansion had been put under martial law by the imperial guards. Because there were so many royal relatives and court ministers coming to congratulate, the lobby and courtyard could no longer accommodate them. At the decision of Emperor Li Shimin, the banquet was placed in a medicinal garden filled with the fragrance of medicinal herbs. Worshiping heaven and earth is also held here. The place where a princess gets married is different from that of ordinary people. The three obeisances performed by ordinary people are one to heaven and earth, two to heaven and earth, and two to couples in the high hall. However, the status of the princess and the consort is that of a monarch and a minister. If the princess marries a high-ranking official, such as a prince, whose rank is higher than that of the princess, the princess's rank must be raised to be equal to that of the consort before making a bid. If the princess is of higher rank than the consort, the status quo will be maintained. In short, the price of the princess cannot be reduced. The prince-in-law and his family must perform the courtesy of a monarch and ministers in front of the princess. That is to say, the father-in-law, mother-in-law, and husband must kneel down to greet the princess in the morning. When a couple gets married, naturally they cannot break this rule. Therefore, in worshiping heaven and earth, worshiping in the high hall and worshiping husband and wife cannot be performed - the princess cannot kneel down to her parents-in-law and husband. So, the princess¡¯s wedding was as simple as worshiping heaven and earth. After worshiping heaven and earth, it became a ceremony. After worshiping heaven and earth, he was sent to the bridal chamber. " A long drought brings sweet rain, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, a night of flowers and candles in the wedding room, and being named on the gold medal list. These are the four great joys in life. Zuo Shaoyang, who had one wife and three concubines, went through four bridal chambers, and this was his fifth minor sexual intercourse. However, he sensed that this would not be a pleasant experience. The reason is very simple. Princess Chang Le has already agreed with him that they will only be a superficial couple. Because Zuo Shaoyang didn't want to marry her at that time, and she was angry that Zuo Shaoyang refused to treat the emperor's brother and was unwilling to marry him. This result was finally agreed upon. Zuo Shaoyang knew this, so he toasted to the emperor, empress, relatives of the emperor and court ministers one by one. Naturally, he got very drunk and was carried back to the bridal chamber. In the middle of the night, Zuo Shaoyang woke up from thirst. When he opened his eyes, the room was illuminated by red candles. He wanted to see clearly. As soon as his head moved, he felt the world spinning. He quickly closed his eyes and shouted: "Is anyone there? Get me a glass of water. !" After a while, I heard the sound of footsteps, the curtain was lifted up, and the fragrance blew into my nose. A woman said in a gentle voice: "Master, please have some tea!" With that, someone gently helped him up. Leaning into a warm and soft embrace, the aroma became stronger. A cup of warm tea was brought to his mouth, and he drank a large cup of tea with great consideration. After drinking the tea, Zuo Shaoyang sobered up a little. Still closing his eyes, he asked: "Who are you?" His question sounded stupid. In the bridal chamber on the wedding night with Princess Chang Le, besides Princess Chang Le, could anyone else Who is it? However, Zuo Shaoyang was certain that the woman holding him and feeding him tea was definitely not Princess Chang Le, her voice was wrong, and there was no way that Princess Chang Le would serve him like this. You are the king. How could anyone condescend to give water to his ministers? The woman giggled and said: "Slave Qiu'er. She is the maid who came to marry the princess. From now on, we will serve the prince consort." "You? Who else?" "There are three in the princess's room, and the other two are called Jin'er and Suo'er, the three of us together are called 'Zuo Jinqiu'!" Zuo Shaoyang said with closed eyes, "Who got the name? "Yes, ?The owner has distributed it to the grandmothers in each room. There are also three in the madam's room, namely 'Chun'er, Yi'er and Nong'er. " "Spring is coming? Was it your princess who got it too? " "Yes," Qiu'er said with a chuckle, "the other three aunts, one in each room. The one in Bai Nai¡¯s house is called ¡®Xia¡¯er¡¯, the one in Grandma Miao San¡¯s house is called ¡®He¡¯er¡¯, and the one in Grandma Sang¡¯s house is called ¡®Qing¡¯er¡¯.¡± ¡°Xia Heqing? "Zuo Shaoyang moved his body and lay more comfortably in Qiu'er's arms, "You princess are really weird. It's weird to get a name. " "Prince-in-law, from now on, you have to call me Niangzi, and you can't follow one princess after another. " "Madam? Zuo Shaoyang smiled bitterly, "Yes, she is my legitimate wife and my wife, but she is a king. If I don't call her princess, will she be happy?" " "The princess told the prince-in-law to call her this way. " Zuo Shaoyang remembered the three sentences he said to Princess Chang Le, one of which was that the etiquette of a monarch and a minister should not be practiced in the family. This must be why Princess Chang Le asked her family to call her that. " Qiu'er quipped again and said: "Yes. Now, the old man and the old lady are divided into three rooms. They are called La'er, Mei'er and Xiang'er respectively. " "The fragrance of wintersweet? Zuo Shaoyang chuckled and said, "That's good, spring, summer, autumn and winter are all ready." ¡ª¡ªBy the way, where is the princess? " "At your side! " "ah? "Zuo Shaoyang then struggled to open his drunken eyes, tried hard to focus his sight, and saw a pretty face and a pair of beautiful big eyes. It was just upside down. He was a little confused, how could it be upside down? Then he thought As soon as I thought about it, I understood that these were Qiu'er's eyes. Qiu'er held herself in her arms and gave her water, looking down at herself. Qiu'er sat on the edge of the bed with half of the curtain open. The bright red candle light reflected her pretty face, especially her big eyes, which were blinking and looking very cute. Zuo Shaoyang slowly turned his head to look at their bed. The extra-large size is more than enough to sleep seven or eight people if they sleep side by side. There is a young girl lying on the back of the big bed, her hair spread on the pillow. Although it is autumn, the weather is still relatively hot, so I only have it. She was covered with a thin brocade quilt, and half of her body in moon-white clothes was exposed. She had slightly thin shoulders and a curvaceous back. Is this my bride, Princess Chang Le? Yang struggled to raise his hands and rubbed his temples. Qiu'er quickly said, "Do you have a headache?" Let the slave come! " A catkin stretched out and massaged him gently. This little girl must have learned it before, and the strength of the technique was just right. Zuo Shaoyang enjoyed it very much, lying in her arms, unable to concentrate, and said: " Where are they? " "Everyone has gone back, and the banquet has ended long ago. Hee hee, it¡¯s already midnight! " At this time, Princess Chang Le's cold voice came: "Qiu'er, why don't you let others sleep if you don't want to sleep? " Qiu'er stuck out her tongue, gently picked up Zuo Shaoyang from her arms, and slowly placed it on the soft jade pillow. She helped him cover him with the quilt and said, "Call me slave if you want me. I'll sleep outside. . " "knew. I blew out the light and it was too bright to sleep. " "No, it's auspicious if the wedding candles stay lit all night. The slave also lowered the outer curtain so that there would be no light. "As she said that, Qiu'er put down the three layers of curtains inside and outside. The fabric of the outer layer of curtains was very thick. After putting it down, the light in the bed suddenly dimmed, leaving only a hazy blush. " Then, Qiu'er Thin footsteps walked out of the room. The room became quiet again. Zuo Shaoyang stretched his hands and feet and let out a long sigh. "If you feel uncomfortable, Qiu'er and the other two can go and consummate the marriage with them. ! "Ro!~!
