The prince is not doing his job [traveling]

Chapter 100

After the emcee's lengthy opening remarks, it was time for Xu Lishan to speak. The eloquent praise and blessings were written for him by the people from the Ministry of Education. It was really difficult for him to memorize them abruptly.

After hearing this congratulatory speech, Xiao Yanzhi wanted to laugh even more.

Even though it was just his marriage to Pei Ze, the words drafted by Zhongshu Sheng seemed to be a marriage between the world's literary and martial arts factions. A trivial private matter that was a bit of a joke was written by Zhongshu Sheng as something related to the world. For the great event of Taiping's fortune and prosperity, Xiao Yanzhi couldn't help laughing even during the solemn worship process of kneeling down to heaven and earth.

After the most outrageous worship to heaven and earth in history, Xiao Yanzhi and Pei Ze turned around and stepped into the Tai Chi Hall under the guidance of the master of ceremonies and Xu Lishan.

The always solemn Tai Chi Hall is also covered with red silk at this time. There is a table table in the hall, and there are many tablets on the table. There is a feeling of nondescript.

Xiao Yanzhi squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and found that except for the tablets of the emperor and General Pei, Xiao Yanzhi didn't know any of the names on the tablets. Several founding generals in the mourning hall and successive emperors since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

Even though he didn't know what his marriage had to do with these people, Xiao Yanzhi still knelt down and bowed to the respectful Pei Ze.

Anyway, he has no parents here, so he should kneel down to his nominal ancestors.

The couple's worship was also done in the Tai Chi Hall, but the location and scene were somewhat weird. Xiao Yanzhi and Pei Ze always had an indescribable embarrassment when they worshiped each other. Even Xu Lishan had an awkward expression on his face. Seeing this As soon as the worship was over, he quickly asked someone to pull Xiao Yanzhi and Pei Ze up, and stepped out of the Hall of Liangyi in a hurry.

Xiao Yanzhi was a little dazed.

This was not the same as the procedure he had agreed with the Minister of Rites. At this stage of the ceremony, Xiao Yanzhi was completely at a loss and could only be dragged around without knowing what the next step would be.

So when he stood in front of the Liangyi Hall again and heard the master of ceremonies saying that he would accept the congratulations from all the officials, Xiao Yanzhi was completely dumbfounded.

Secretly tugging at Pei Ze's sleeve, Xiao Yanzhi asked in a low voice, "Are you... sure this is not the empress ceremony?"

Why did he still accept congratulations from all the officials?

Pei Ze frowned, and asked back, "What? Don't you like this battle?"

Xiao Yanzhi hesitated and said, "It's not a question of whether you like it or not. I've never heard of anyone's big wedding going through this process."

Pei Ze chuckled lightly when he heard this, and said, "Anyway, there is no precedent to follow, so just do whatever comes to mind."

Xiao Yanzhi twitched the corner of his mouth: "You guys are so casual."

Xu Lishan turned his head again and said in a low voice, "You two really can't shut up?"

Xiao Yanzhi hurriedly shut his mouth again.

After accepting the congratulations from all the officials, the arrangement of the Ministry of Rites was to let Pei Ze and Xiao Yanzhi walk out from Taiji Hall along the red carpet, pass through Taiji Gate and Jiade Gate, and finally leave the palace through Chengtian Gate. A tall horse and a guard of honor were waiting there.

Xiao Yanzhi, who didn't know what he was going to do, just let out a long sigh of relief because the master of ceremonies had finished his long speech, when Pei Ze suddenly took his hand and stepped down the stone steps in front of the Liangyi Hall.

I don't know whether it was intentional or not, Pei Ze's pace was not fast, but every step he took was steady and firm, with a bit of elation.

Xiao Yanzhi followed beside him, at first he was a little dazed, but when he walked down the steps and saw all the civil and military officials lined up on both sides of the red carpet turned around to congratulate him, Xiao Yanzhi understood what he was doing today. I have to walk from one end of the red carpet to the other with Pei Ze.

Out of politeness, Xiao Yanzhi expressed his gratitude to every official for their blessings. Looking at the embarrassed but sincere smiles on the faces of those officials, Xiao Yanzhi was suddenly filled with emotion.

Ever since he met Pei Ze, he never imagined such a scene at any moment. He will not hide his feelings for Pei Ze, but he will not publicize it to the world. He will make trouble as a male favourite. , but he would not expect everyone in the world to recognize this love. He knew that there were some things that could be done and some things that could not be done in their love, and such a scene was absolutely impossible in the first place.

He thinks he's lucky.In the court where people's hearts are unpredictable, he met a person who could love and trust him for a lifetime. He won the support of a relative regardless of the world. All the three principles and five constant principles and political turmoil succumbed to their recognition and support for him.In such an era, he met a person who was not ashamed of him but wanted to announce his love to the world from time to time. He had a group of relatives who never gave up their love and help. His trust and maintenance.

Noticing that Xiao Yanzhi was a little distracted, Pei Ze gently shook the hands that the two had never let go.

"What's the matter? Are you tired?" I knew that I should have let the horses wait in front of the Taiji Gate, why did I have to go to the Chengtian Gate?

Xiao Yanzhi returned to his senses, turned his head to look at Pei Ze with a bright smile: "I'm not tired, I just remembered that you were the one who took me with me when I entered the palace for the first time."

Hearing this, Pei Ze immediately remembered the scene back then, and couldn't help laughing: "You were not so honest back then."

Xiao Yanzhi turned his head to look at the palace wall in the distance, and said, "Isn't that the first time I entered the palace? Everything looks fresh."

"Stop talking nonsense," Pei Ze followed and looked at the palace wall. He still doesn't know what's so good about the palace wall. "Is there anything new in this world that you look at?"

"Yes," Xiao Yanzhi looked at Pei Ze and smiled, "I don't think you are the freshest, so I kept it private."

Pei Ze shook his head and laughed.

Accompanied by cheerful ritual music and passionate drums, he leisurely walked to Chengtian Gate, Xiao Yanzhi turned his head to look at the civil and military officials following behind, and suddenly twitched the corners of his mouth.

"It really feels like giving a wedding to a princess."

Did the Ministry of Rituals really refer to the regulations for marrying a princess in the end?

Pei Ze smiled and said, "Then Princess Xiao, get on the horse."

Xiao Yanzhi rolled his eyes when he heard the words, and after kicking Pei Ze, he jumped onto the horse, and when Pei Ze also got on the horse, he went out under the guidance of Zhang Shaosheng and Li An, accompanied by festive rituals and music. Go to Prince Wucheng's mansion.

And some of the officials who had good friends with Pei Ze and Xiao Yanzhi or who walked around often got on their horses immediately and rushed to Prince Wucheng's mansion.

There is still a wedding banquet to be eaten at the Prince Wucheng's mansion at night.

As soon as he returned to Prince Wucheng's mansion, Xiao Yanzhi was sent to the new house first according to the usual practice. Although he was dissatisfied with being treated as a bride, he didn't know how to drink anyway, and entertaining guests was really not suitable for him. Honestly staying in the new house, chatting with Xiao Chunyue and Xiao Junmeng who came here specially, although this scene is somewhat delicate.

Originally thought that according to Pei Ze's temperament, he would definitely not accompany the guests to the end, but this time Xiao Yanzhi was wrong. He chatted with Xiao Chunyue and Xiao Junmeng in the room for a long time and did not see Pei Ze come back until Xiao Junmeng took the two children to bed, and Pei Zecai went back to the room with the support of Ren'an and Xiangsheng.

As soon as the door opened, Xiao Yanzhi smelled the smell of alcohol, and immediately jumped up from the bed and hid by the window.

"Ren'an, throw him on the bed."

"Understood, brother." Xiao Ren'an and Xiao Xiangsheng looked at each other, and helplessly threw the drunk Pei Ze to the bed, "That...brother, the prince is just too happy."

It is rare for the prince to become amiable on this day of great joy, and his joy is beyond words. Those ministers who borrowed wine to strengthen their courage can be considered to have seized the opportunity, and poured wine for the prince in a bad mood, and they did not know that those who came forward to toast were sincere. If you want to congratulate, you should take an opportunity to scold the prince. In short, after this night, the prince will lose his mind.It was Xiangsheng who forcibly fended off those ministers and dragged the prince back.

Xiao Chunyue saw Xiao Yanzhi pushed open the window and stood still by the window, so she gave him a look and said, "It's just that the smell of alcohol is a bit heavy, so why are you hiding there? You still have to hide from the man you have been with for seven years. Dislike him?"

"I didn't." Xiao Yanzhi frowned, looking at Pei Ze on the bed dumbfounded.

Xiao Xiangsheng gloated and said: "Miss Chunyue doesn't know, brother can't drink, even light wine is poured in a glass, if it is stronger, you will get drunk after being suffocated by alcohol for a long time, the prince is a bit too late today, you have to drink Just let go."

Xiao Chunyue was stunned: "This matter... the prince doesn't know?"

Xiao Ren'an said with a helpless smile: "My lord knows."

"You know it's still like this?" Xiao Chunyue stared dumbfounded at Pei Ze who was motionless on the bed.

The prince has been looking forward to the wedding for a long time, why did he neglect it at the end?

Xiao Yanzhi pursed his lips and said, "He is getting carried away with complacency."

Probably because I lost my head when I heard other people's congratulations on the wedding outside, I would drink the wine given by anyone, and I didn't weigh my own drinking capacity.

"Then... what should we do now?" Xiao Chunyue was dumbfounded.

Although Yanzhi and the prince have been together for many years, why is today also the wedding night?Just, just rest like this?

Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said: "Sister, take them to rest, you are all busy with the banquet at Prince Wucheng's residence today."

"But……"

"Oh, sister Chunyue, don't worry." Xiao Xiangsheng grabbed Xiao Chunyue and walked out, "Brother said you can rest and rest."

When Xiao Xiangsheng said this, everyone in the room cheered and left. Everyone had a smile on their lips, but they didn't dare to laugh out loud.

When everyone was gone, Xiao Yanzhi stood by the window, not knowing what to do for a while, he could only wait for the smell of alcohol in the room to dissipate, but before he waited for a long time, Pei Ze on the bed hummed Chirped out.

"Words...words..."

Xiao Yanzhi didn't intend to pay attention to it at first, but Pei Ze's vague voice continued, Xiao Yanzhi had no choice but to walk over.

"What are you doing, drunk?" Lifting his foot and kicking Pei Ze's arm, Xiao Yanzhi looked at the flushed Pei Ze amusedly.

"Yanzhi..." Pei Ze who stretched out his hand indiscriminately grabbed Xiao Yanzhi's ankle.

Xiao Yanzhi was taken aback, managed to stabilize his figure, and stared at Pei Ze who was holding onto his ankle and stroking his calf with his mouth twitching.

"In other words... I love you..."

"...idiot." Xiao Yanzhi rolled his eyes at Pei Ze, and pulled his leg back with all his might.

With his hands empty, Pei Ze opened his eyes dissatisfied, and looked around for Xiao Yanzhi: "Yanzhi?"

Xiao Yanzhi rubbed his forehead, feeling that something was wrong, so he hurriedly helped Pei Ze take off his shoes, socks and clothes, and then he got ready for bed, and hurriedly climbed into bed and lay beside Pei Ze.

Even if he was unconscious, he knew when Xiao Yanzhi was lying beside him. Pei Ze stretched out his arms almost immediately to serve Xiao Yanzhi as a pillow, and then wrapped his arms around Xiao Yanzhi as soon as he retracted them.

"Mine, this life is mine." After finishing the sentence, Pei Ze giggled twice, then fell asleep contentedly holding Xiao Yanzhi.

Xiao Yanzhi smiled helplessly, closed his eyes and fell asleep, even if he wasn't sleepy, he couldn't do anything else, so it's better to get sleepy.

Outside the door, Xiao Chunyue and Xiao Junmeng's heads were piled up in a row, and they looked in through the crack of the door. Xiao Ren'an, Xiao Xiangsheng and Li An stood behind and looked helplessly at the two women who were doing good things.

"Sister, why is there no movement?" Xiao Junmeng listened carefully, but couldn't hear anything.

Xiao Chunyue pushed the door open a little more, and tried to look inside: "Could it be true that you just slept like that?"

Liu Hanqing and Li An couldn't stand it anymore, so they stepped forward and pulled Xiao Chunyue and Xiao Junmeng away.

Liu Hanqing pinched Xiao Junmeng's nose, and said: "How can a younger sister poach my brother's door? If you continue to make trouble, be careful not to disturb your brother."

"But," Xiao Junmeng looked dissatisfied, "but today is their first wedding night, so they just slept like this?"

"What's the first night?" Xiao Xiangsheng put his hands on the back of his head and said with a grin. "My brother and the prince have been together for seven years. How can there be a first night? Those two people are only one ceremony away. How come the night is different?"

"It's true," Xiao Chunyue turned away from Li An behind her, "Forget it, let them do. By the way, Ren'an, how long will you stay here this time? Where are Jun Meng and Han Qing? If you are not in a hurry to go back, you can stay here longer How many days?"

"It's not urgent, I can stay for a few days, Li Changshi and the prince don't want to be disgusted." Xiao Ren'an looked at Li An with a smile.

Li An cupped his hands and said: "Second Young Master, you are being polite. The prince used to treat you as family members, and it is even more so now."

"Then I'll have to work." Xiao Ren'an also cupped his hands at Li An.

A group of people said insignificant words while leaving the door of the new house and going to their respective residences. When the moon sets and the sun rises, it is another ordinary beginning.
