Chapter 539 The night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber
As for the matter of restoring the title, everyone, including Jia Cong and other officials in the court, knew about it.
But no one would have thought that on the day of Jia Cong and Daiyu's wedding, the emperor would not only confer the title of Princess Wen'an on Daiyu, but also issue an imperial decree to restore her title and confer a title on his wife.
Of course, with Daiyu's current status, the title of a marquise is nothing. After all, no matter how precious a marquise is, she cannot compare to a royal princess.
But the reward of this imperial edict proved the emperor's favor for the Jia family.
Princess Daiyu married into the Jia family, not Jia Cong, the princess's husband.
The emperor's action was a favor to both the Lin family and the Jia family, which could be said to be the best of both worlds.
However, these operations were only done for others to see. Both the Lin family and the Jia family were just grateful for the emperor's grace and consideration, and did not care much about other things.
The emperor had a taste of being his father-in-law and was in a good mood, but Lin Ruhai felt very uncomfortable.
Although Daiyu's marriage had been decided several years ago, the man she was marrying was her wife's nephew.
But his daughter is going to get married after all. From today on, she will leave home and live in her husband's home. How can he, as a father, bear to let her go?
"Daddy..."
"Aunt...Father-in-law..."
Whenever Lin Ruhai saw Jia Cong in the past, he always thought he had good things in this and that. But when he saw him today, he always felt that his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes.
Fortunately, Mr. Lin was able to restrain himself and did not pick up the broom to sweep him out.
He took the teacup handed to him by Jia Cong, took a sip, then turned to Daiyu and said with a sob: "In the future, we must respect and love each other, grow old together, have many children, and lead the young with words."
Daiyu's eyes also turned red, and she kowtowed and said, "I will follow your father's teachings and will not damage the reputation of the Lin family!"
Lin Ruhai spoke again: "In the future, you must be kind and cautious, discuss things with your husband, and spend your life together."
Daiyu finally couldn't hold back her tears any longer. She sobbed twice and bowed again: "Daughter understands. Please take care of yourself, father. Although the weather is hot, your health has not been very good. Don't use too much ice. Let the mansion always have some mung bean soup to cool you down..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Ruhai said with tears in his eyes: "Okay, go, go."
The farewell conversation between father and daughter seemed to touch the heart of the emperor.
He originally came here to visit his father-in-law, but unexpectedly at this moment he thought of his married daughters.
Compared with Daiyu, the relationship between his daughters and him as a father is obviously more about awe than father-daughter love.
Alas, how can a lonely man expect to have a caring daughter?
"Father has lost some weight these days, and the government affairs are complicated, so let the Crown Prince take care of them. Lord Xia, remember to remind Father from time to time, don't let him work too hard."
The emperor was stunned, and the loneliness and solitude on his face immediately disappeared by about 70%, and he smiled.
Xia Shouzhong bowed and replied, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I've made note of it."
"You girl... just go, don't worry about us two old guys, just live a good life with Cong boy!"
The emperor waved his hand as if to urge them, but everyone in the front hall saw his rare smile.
Sure enough, there is a reason why Princess Wen'an is favored.
Just because of their concern for the emperor and their bold and careful reminders, even the princesses and princesses in the royal family would dare to tell the emperor to his face to hand over the affairs of state to the prince.
"Girl, Third Brother will carry you out!"
As the elder brother, Lin Bo stepped forward and carried Daiyu on his back.
Outside, firecrackers sounded again. The lively scene was completely different from the farewell atmosphere in the front hall just now.
Daiyu was sent to the bridal sedan by Lin Bo. The dragon and phoenix sedan with twenty-four bearers was specially made by the Ministry of Works at the request of the Emperor at the request of the Ministry of Rites.
Needless to say, the materials used are of great value. The gems carved and inlaid on it alone are worth tens of thousands of taels of silver.
The carved dragons and painted phoenixes are so luxurious, showing the noble status of its owner.
After Jia Cong and Lin Bo bowed and said goodbye, he mounted his white horse, waved his hand, the music started playing, and the wedding procession slowly set off amid the sound of firecrackers.
……
Today, the Rongguo Mansion is full of distinguished guests. No matter what people of importance in the capital think or whether they have any grievances with the Jia family, one of them will come to present a gift.
After all, the girl that Jia Jiazi is going to marry today is the emperor's adopted daughter and the only daughter of Lin Ruhai, the new cabinet minister.
His good son was getting married, but Master She had no time to entertain the guests, because at that time in Rong Xi Hall, the old emperor was happily sipping wine and chatting with a group of old ministers.
The crackling sound of firecrackers could be heard faintly. Jia Huan ran to the main hall and shouted excitedly, "I'm back, I'm back..."
The people from the Ministry of Rites immediately got busy. To be honest, in the past, it was always the prince consort who married the princess, but for today's wedding, all the rules were not applicable and all had to be made anew.
The twelve hairpins are bright purple.
The clouds are fanning and the moon is creating waves.
Two lines of praise greet each other and kneel,
The fruit trees sang a lot.
After going through an extremely tedious etiquette process, Daiyu felt like she could hardly stand.
Fortunately, the process had reached the stage of worshiping in the hall. The official from the Ministry of Rites was almost hoarse, so he pursed his dry lips and sang loudly again.
"Go to the temple to pay respects, and start the music!"
The musicians in the palace performed at their best today. To the sound of lively and festive music, the chief toaster knelt in front of the incense table, offered incense twice, offered incense three times, kowtowed, kowtowed again, and kowtowed three times.
The ceremonial officer then sang: "Rise, stand up, return to your original position, kneel, ..."
The next step was to read the prayer letter, which was finished by Xichun, who knelt on the Buddha worship stool on the right.
The ceremonial officer sang again: "Ascend, bow, ascend, bow, ascend, bow..."
After three kneelings, nine kowtows and six bows, the ceremonial officer invited Jia Cong and Daiyu into Rong Xi Hall. The people sitting in the main seats in the hall were naturally his father Jia She and his stepmother Lady Xing.
Those stubborn old men in the Ministry of Rites would not let the saintly old man do whatever he wanted in this matter, and insisted that the old man and Jia's mother and other relatives of the Jia family sit in the second seat.
"Worship heaven and earth!"
"Two thanks to the high hall!"
"Couple greetings!"
……
After performing the three bows according to the rules, in order to accommodate the old saint who came running over excitedly, the people from the Ministry of Rites finally added one more item, asking Jia Cong and Daiyu to kneel down and kowtow to the old man, which made the old man in a good mood.
"They are all good children, get up quickly."
In front of all the guests, Dai Quan came over with a brocade box in his hand. After opening it, the old saint took out a jade ruyi from it.
"If Daishan were here, he would definitely say that I am stingy and I am not willing to give my grandson some good things when he gets married..."
Sure enough, the emperor’s “true love” was only Jia Daishan!
When everyone looked at the jade ruyi, they could hardly take their eyes away.
May all your wishes come true.
The blessing bestowed by a saint is no less valuable than a golden medal of immunity from death.
The emperor placed the Ruyi in Daiyu's hand and said with a smile, "Girl, I had this Ruyi made specially for you. You have great ambitions. If you have any troubles in the future, you can bring this into the palace. When I am gone, you can go find your father... If anyone dares to bully you, no matter if he is a royal relative or a civil or military official, you can take this and beat him to death!"
hiss!
The golden medal of immunity from death is not as useful as this jade ruyi. Isn’t it just a more beautiful imperial sword?
Whose jade ruyi has the function of chopping off people’s heads?
The lively wedding was suddenly filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere because of a jade ruyi from the retired emperor.
The officials from the Ministry of Rites were dumbfounded. It took the ceremonial officer a long time to react. After the bride and groom kowtowed to the old man to express their gratitude, he sang and sent Daiyu to the bridal chamber.
……
The bustle in Rongguo Mansion lasted until the hour of Xu. Summer nights come late, and when night fell, Jia Cong escaped from the banquet with the help of several brothers.
He didn't have much of a drinking tolerance to begin with, and after struggling to get through the ordeal of being forced to drink, he nearly fell to the ground when he arrived at the door of the bridal chamber.
Fortunately, Nanny Wang was prepared and had someone help Jia Cong into the house.
Daiyu, still wearing a red veil, was sitting upright on the edge of the bed, nervously twisting the corners of her clothes with her hands.
"Master, drink the hangover soup first... Zijuan, Xueyan, why don't you come and help Master wash up!"
After washing his face, perhaps due to the stimulation of the warm water or the effect of the hangover soup, Jia Cong finally sobered up a little.
However, the wine he drank before really gave him courage, and the original uneasiness in his heart had disappeared without a trace.
He approached Daiyu and lifted her red veil...
"Sister Lin is so beautiful today! Oh..."
Nanny Wang, who was asking two maids to prepare food, heard the sound and looked over, only to see Daiyu grabbing Jia Cong's ears, shyly and angrily.
"You mean, I wasn't beautiful before?"
"girl……"
Zijuan was anxious and wanted to step forward to dissuade them, but was stopped by Nanny Wang: "Don't make a sound, set the food and get out!"
The screen blocked other people's view, and after Nanny Wang and others left, Daiyu's nervousness almost dissipated.
Of course Jia Cong wasn't really in pain. The two had been playing together since they were little and had played this kind of fighting game countless times.
In the past, at this time, he should have cried out in pain...
But from today on, Sister Lin has become his wife, and it is time for her to regain her power as a husband...
"Lecher, let go!"
Jia Cong hugged Daiyu tightly, put his nose on Daiyu's neck, and sniffed her fragrance.
"How can I be called a lecher when I hug my wife?"
As soon as the word "Madam" came out, Daiyu's originally tense body softened.
She felt the heat of the embrace, and suddenly realized that she was married to the man holding her.
Several years passed in a flash. In the early years, Jia Cong was not as tall as her, but now when she stood in front of Jia Cong, she just reached the tip of his nose.
"Let me help Madam take down this phoenix crown. It's very heavy!"
In order to express their gratitude to their old boss Jia Cong, the people from the Ministry of Works used plenty of materials for the Seven-Phoenix Crown.
When Jia Cong took off the phoenix crown, he felt that it weighed at least several kilograms.
After helping Daiyu take off her bright red wedding dress, he carried Daiyu to the armchair in front of the table and put his hands on her smooth shoulders.
"This phoenix crown is really heavy. You must be exhausted. Let me help you massage it..."
The silk craftsmanship of Daxia is truly beyond words. After removing the rather thick wedding dress, even though Daiyu's inner garments were layered with several pieces of clothing, her delicate figure could still be seen faintly.
The fifteen-year-old Daiyu is now a graceful and elegant young lady, like a lotus emerging from the water, extremely beautiful and charming.
Jia Cong's hand unconsciously wanted to move down, but was grabbed by Daiyu, who was already burning hot all over.
"Don't mess around, we...we haven't even had our wedding wine yet!"
This excuse was not really an excuse. Daiyu almost bit her lips when she said this.
Jia Cong also sobered up a little, regained his composure, and continued to massage Daiyu's shoulders.
Wherever their hands touched, they both felt hot all over.
However, Jia Cong was not so impatient that he could not wait. After all, Daiyu probably had not eaten anything today and must have been starving.
The delicacies on the table seemed to have become tasteless. The two of them ate some at random and weighed their stomachs.
Jia Cong picked up the wine jug, poured each of them a glass, and then stared at Daiyu's shy face.
"lady……"
"Don't call me Madam, it makes me feel weird!"
"Then Sister Lin..."
"Don't call me sister, it feels even weirder!"
"What's that called?"
Daiyu was so anxious that she almost stamped her feet. This idiot is usually very smart, why is he so stupid today?
"I'm married to you today, shouldn't you give me a name?"
Jia Cong put down the wine glass he had raised and slapped his head.
"Oh, right, I should give you a name! In the West, there is a stone called Dai, which can be used as ink for drawing eyebrows. Daiyu, Daiyu, as beautiful as jade, should be Dai'e!"
"Daio?"
After reciting for a while, Daiyu remembered a line of poetry.
She just chanted softly: "Dai'e sings the song of Binyun, and Yufei dances on the purple fur. This word is not only easy to pronounce, but also quite poetic..."
"It's even more appropriate. My wife is even more beautiful than Ehuang and Nvying. Even if a fairy came down to earth, she wouldn't be half as beautiful as my wife!"
Jia Cong raised his cup again, winked at Daiyu and smiled: "My wife Dai'e, are you willing to drink this cup with me, your husband?"
Daiyu became even more shy after being praised by Jia Cong.
However, she also raised her glass and said in return: "I wish to find someone who is as devoted as I am..."
"We will never be apart!"
Jia Cong took Daiyu into his arms and drank with her.
Nanny Wang and the two maids who were guarding outside the house gradually stopped hearing the sounds inside. After a burst of surprised and suppressed shouts from inside the house, Jia Cong shouted loudly, "Nanny, you guys go down and have a rest. You don't need to guard here tonight..."
……
After a night of lovemaking, Daiyu woke up feeling extremely tired in the morning.
Jia Cong is a martial artist, and he has been holding it in for several years. Although he tossed and turned until late last night, he still felt full of strength when he woke up early in the morning.
Daiyu woke up earlier, and when she opened her eyes, she was held in Jia Cong's arms.
She wanted to hide and dress secretly, but she found that she couldn't get out of Jia Cong's arms at all. She didn't dare to make too much noise for fear of waking Jia Cong up.
If that happens, she will be even more embarrassed!
In fact, Jia Cong woke up as soon as the person in his arms moved, but he knew Daiyu's personality very well, so he held back his laughter and pretended to be asleep...
However, Daiyu was also familiar with Jia Cong's temper and habits. When she saw his eyebrows trembling slightly, she knew that he had woken up.
She immediately pulled the quilt up to cover her exposed body, and even buried her face in the quilt...
