The whole family of villains criticized her wildly, but the princess treated her with medical treatm

Regarding the question of where the wedding should be held and where to "marry", the Ministry of Etiquette, which was responsible for organizing the wedding, once asked the Empress Dowager Yan and the Prince Regent for their opinions.

The newly appointed Minister of Rites, Yan Ji, the Duke of Songyuan County, once felt quite troubled by this.

"To the Queen Mother, according to the ancestral system, the emperor's daughter is extremely noble and cannot be called a wife, but should be called a lord. According to "Zhou Rites", if the personal reputation and influence of the consort are mediocre and not as good as that of the royal princess, then She should live in the princess's house, not in her husband's house as a daughter-in-law."

While Duke Songyuan bowed to report, he quietly looked at the regent's face, and the sweat on his forehead never stopped.

Lest he accidentally offend the dignity of the regent, he, who had just been promoted to Yundu, would be dismissed again.

But what no one expected was.

The regent was not angry when he heard this.

He was dressed in a green-ink unicorn court dress, with a face like a crown of jade, eyes like bright stars, and the old god stood there. Didn't feel offended.

Empress Dowager Yan continued: "Yes, there is such a rule. In the past, the eldest princess of Jiehu divorced and married Jingyu Gong. Although she also had a princess palace outside the palace, her influence inside and outside the court was not as influential as divorced. Fan, so she married into Lijia, and the late emperor personally gave her the wedding. After the marriage, the eldest princess's mansion was basically abandoned and idle, and was later converted into a summer retreat for Lijia."

Songyuan County Duke Yan Ji was in his sixties, with a gray beard. He said very cautiously: "There are eleven princesses in the past dynasties of Yunhuang. The prince-in-law moved into the princess's mansion after marriage. More than forty of them stayed in the husband-in-law's family. There. The Queen Mother, logically speaking, with the power of the Regent in the court, she should live in the Regent's palace when she marries the Princess Regent. However, the reputation of the Princess of the Imperial City among the people seems to be far away... far away from the Prince Regent. superior."

Having said this.

He did not dare to look at the regent.

That was the head of the family who promoted him!

Yan Yang was very calm, not annoyed at all, and admitted frankly: "My cousin's influence inside and outside the court is indeed greater than that of my king."

There’s nothing shameful about admitting it.

He had already given the 500,000 Tiger Talisman of the Suppressing Bei Army to the child's mother.

Moreover, he had enemies both inside and outside the government, and he had a very bad reputation as a "regicide" and a "national thief." Countless officials in the government and the public who upheld benevolence, justice, loyalty, filial piety, etiquette and trustworthiness despised him. As for the people outside the government and the public, he was not like him. Like Tingxue, she has done many things that are beneficial to people's livelihood and won a lot of praise.

For example, laying a cement road in Yunhuang, giving porridge to the refugees and dividing their fields, improving the refined salt production method and continuously lowering the price of salt, and bringing potatoes, sweet potatoes and other extremely high-yielding divine foods from the Celestial Empire, which reduced the number of starvation deaths. People, such as cheap chalk instead of expensive pen and ink, such as cheap sugar cane paper instead of expensive paper bark paper, etc...

Influence is a terrible thing.

What the people want is their right.

Queen Mother Yan looked at her nephew jokingly: "So, you are willing to marry into the eldest princess's house?"

The word "marriage" is specially emphasized.

After saying this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but laugh.

Her eldest nephew was the most powerful minister. He had the constitution in his mouth, killed the late emperor and established the young master. But in the end, when it was his turn to have a major life event such as getting married, he actually wanted to "marry" the woman because his influence was inferior to her. Go to his home.

Yan Yang raised his chin proudly: "I wish for you."

As long as he can marry his cousin, he can do anything!

He has been waiting for this day for too long.

Empress Dowager Yan burst out laughing: "Okay, okay, your father left early. You were raised by the Ai family since you were a child. The Ai family is also your natal family, so they should prepare a generous meal for you." wedding."

Yan Yang bowed deeply and said, "Thank you very much, aunt."

The matter was settled like this.

After Mu Tingxue learned about it, she was unambiguous and prepared the wedding room in the eldest princess's mansion.

Anyway, both sides are her home.

She's very open-minded and feels the same way.

As for the wedding hall, it was set up in Penglai Palace, which is very close to the ancestral temple of the Xie family and is used to worship heaven. This means that this marriage is the will of heaven and a match made in heaven.

*. *. *

Penglai Palace is located on Qixia Mountain to the west of the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

The palace was built against the mountain, rising and turning in an orderly manner, just like the Penglai scenery flying in the sky, as misty as a fairy.

Especially the Lianli Hall in the center, with green tiles and red walls, golden nanmu Kowloon pillars, mahogany railings, long cloisters, flying pavilions with red eaves, and winged eaves.

Only the wedding of Xie Gaozu, the founder of the country, and his queen was held in Penglai Palace.

The weddings of other emperors and empresses, such as Xie Xuanchen and Yan Mingyue, only went through the Huangji Gate. There is no such honor.

The Empress Dowager Yan, who doted on her daughter, ignored the objections of the courtiers and directly ordered that the wedding hall of the eldest princess and the regent be set up in the Lianli Hall of Penglai Palace. The scale was even more impressive than that of the young emperor!

This is obviously transgressive.

But no one dared to say anything.

A puppet is not qualified to bark.

When the eldest princess Xie Qingyuan, accompanied by the regent Yan Yang, appeared in the majestic yet beautiful Penglai Palace, everyone was amazed——

She has a beauty that would captivate a country, yet still has a heroic spirit; she is like a dignified blooming peony, yet has the elegance of a snow lotus.

Her temples are held up high, with six gorgeous phoenix hairpins on each side, corresponding to the twelve heavenly stems. With beautiful makeup and an extremely gorgeous phoenix crown, she climbs up the square steps with lotus patterns, like a phoenix spreading its wings and about to fly in the clouds. .

She is dressed in five colors of rosy flowers, shining in the winter sunshine, with thousands of auspicious colors and dazzling rays of light, like Chang'e in the moon and the Penglai fairy.

She is extremely elegant, as if she has entered an ink painting.

As for the tall and handsome man beside her, his radiance complemented hers, and his demeanor was not suppressed at all. Every move he made and every move he made looked dashing and decent.

The two of them looked like the sun and the moon in the sky.

It's clear that the stars are shining brightly in the sky.

The sun and moon shine brightly on the two of them.

Yan Yang tenderly held the bride's hand, and stepped onto the steps to heaven step by step under the worship of the civil and military officials, the wives of internal and external officials, the chiefs of Siyi, and the envoys of the vassal state.

This heavenly step also has a name, called "Dragon Road".

Like a staircase to the sky, or even more like a meandering jade dragon, from the foot of the mountain to halfway up the mountain - this dragon path has a total of 999 steps.

Each level is paved with white marble with dragon patterns, like a giant dragon paving on the mountain.

Yan Yang held Mu Tingxue's hand and walked the nine hundred and ninety-nine steps step by step.

They stood hand in hand on the high platform of Penglai Palace.

Stand at the top of the dragon path.

Like dragons and phoenixes with their heads raised, you can overlook the subjects from below, and look up to the sky from above.

"Worship the heavens and the earth-"
