Chapter 2: Two marriages collide!
"But Li Zhi is getting married today. From now on, I may not be able to go in and out of the palace as often as I want. Without Li Zhi by my side..."
At this point, Li Lizhi's red lips trembled slightly, "Mother, you must take good care of yourself and remember not to overwork yourself."
"Also, my father has not returned home all day, just to deal with state affairs. Once Li Zhi leaves, there will be no one to supervise him in the future."
Li Lizhi's clear voice is extremely pleasant to hear.
The unclear bronze mirror of the mother and daughter in front of her could not conceal Li Lizhi's stunning face.
The beauty is like a painting, and the beauty is heavenly!
Perhaps, the natural beauty that people often talk about comes from her.
Or perhaps, even her natural beauty was a derogation of the Princess Changle of the Tang Dynasty.
"You kid..."
Empress Changsun smiled, and as she smiled, she started to cry.
The next moment, Empress Changsun stood up, and just as she was about to take a good look at her daughter, an untimely voice rang out.
"Empress, Princess, the wedding procession is here." The maid said cautiously.
Empress Changsun wiped away her tears quickly and said dignifiedly, "I understand. You may leave now."
"promise."
After the maid left, Empress Changsun touched her daughter's cheek and said, "In the past, if Chong'er bullied you, remember to tell your mother, okay?"
"Yeah." Li Lizhi nodded slowly.
Afterwards, Empress Changsun exchanged a few more pleasantries and left.
Looking at Empress Changsun's departing back, Li Lizhi's red lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something.
But she didn't say a word until Changsun Wugou left completely.
Li Lizhi looked at the empty door and sighed, "Forget it, maybe this is fate."
"How can I pray to find the boy from my childhood..."
"Perhaps the Queen Mother knows his whereabouts, but it's too late now."
"It's too late..."
Li Lizhi shook her head helplessly, ready to accept her fate.
A sedan chair carried by eight people was the etiquette for wealthy people in ancient times to go out!
Princess Changle's schedule for today is to be slowly carried into the Changsun family in a sedan chair carried by eight people, and finally worship heaven and earth, which means she will officially join the Changsun family.
During the Tang Dynasty, the bride was usually picked up at night.
Therefore, when night fell, the wedding procession slowly set out from the palace.
The team is huge!
There were huge crowds of people on the way to pick up the bride!!
Because of the impact of the scattered silver, the people were in great chaos, but that was only limited to those outside the wedding procession.
There were countless guards standing with swords in hand in the wedding procession, so there was no panic.
The entire wedding procession was divided into two groups because of the money.
The Imperial Guards serve as boundaries, and the areas guarded by them are extremely neat and tidy.
The places that were not guarded by the Imperial Guards were in chaos!
But no matter where you are, there is only one atmosphere, that is joyous!!
"It's strange, the weather... seems a little off, it feels like it's going to rain."
Outside the wedding procession, a stall owner was looking at the sky.
His years of experience in doing business outdoors told him that it was probably going to rain at this moment.
And looking at the sky, it seems to be raining heavily.
…
At the same time, on the other side of the street corner.
The Bai family’s wedding procession was also underway.
But compared with the grand royal family, their place seems a little desolate.
There were only a few passers-by who came to watch.
It is the wedding day of the royal princess, and ordinary people are not allowed to get married on this day. It is a taboo!
But the Bai family is not ordinary people.
They want to take advantage of the royal princess' wedding day to show their joy.
So after the head of the Bai family reported to the emperor, Li Shimin heard that the Bai family was also a family that had made great contributions to him. In addition, he also had his own considerations, so he agreed.
So on this day, these two weddings took place in Chang'an, and they were the only two weddings.
As we moved forward, the changes in the weather became more and more obvious.
"Master! It looks like it's going to rain."
An old man said to Chang Sun Chong with a sad face.
Chang Sun Chong looked up at the sky and his expression changed slightly.
It's not a good sign if it suddenly rains on your wedding day.
"Hurry up. We can't miss the auspicious day, and we can't let our wedding procession come into contact with raindrops."
Chang Sun Chong looked serious. After all, this marriage was treated very solemnly by the royal family because Changle was the most beloved daughter of Li Shimin and Chang Sun Wugou.
In Changsun Mansion, the witness is now the current Emperor Li Shimin!
If we miss the auspicious day, how can we explain to His Majesty?
If the wedding party gets soaked like drowned rats, how will they face His Majesty?
However, there have always been unexpected events since ancient times.
When passing by the Sanqing Taoist Temple, there a strong wind, lightning, thunder, and heavy rain pouring down.
As a last resort, the Changsun family's wedding procession had to hide in the Sanqing Taoist Temple.
Taoism is now respected in the Tang Dynasty. There are Taoist temples in Chang'an and other places in the Tang Dynasty, and it is very prosperous.
Li Shimin himself highly respected Taoism, so Taoism was almost like a state religion.
The Sanqing Taoist Temple in Chang'an is even bigger!
It is more than enough to accommodate a wedding procession.
“Boom! Boom!”
There was a continuous heavy rain outside, and even the big trees were blown down. It was as if God was angry.
"Master, look, there is also a wedding procession over there."
Hearing this, Chang Sun Chong frowned and looked over there.
Today... why is there still a wedding procession?
Chang Sun Chong was a little angry and was about to step forward and scold them.
"Master, no!"
The old butler next to him had sharp eyes. Having served Chang Sun Chong since he was a child, he could tell at a glance what Chang Sun Chong was going to do.
He quickly stepped forward to stop him and said, "Master, today is a happy day, it is not appropriate to get angry."
"Plus, Princess Changle is kind-hearted. If you just go up and scold her, your impression score will probably drop sharply."
"Also, I have heard about this wedding procession before. It is the young lady of the Bai family getting married. Her marriage was personally agreed by His Majesty."
"Your Majesty... agreed?" Chang Sun Chong's mouth twitched slightly.
Compared to the impression score of Princess Changle Li Lizhi, he cared more about His Majesty's thoughts.
Since the marriage between the Bai family was agreed to by His Majesty Li Shimin himself, Chang Sun Chong did not dare to put any obstacle in the way.
"Let them in."
The guard at the side nodded, and soon the reception team heading to Qin Wenyuan’s temporary residence also entered the Sanqing Hall to shelter from the rain.
“Boom! Boom!!”
There were still lightning and thunder outside, with no sign of stopping.
