Waiting on the dressing table is a golden crown with nine branches of flowers and trees. The concubine is very particular about wearing crowns. The queen has a phoenix crown with thirteen flowers and trees. The crown princess has a phoenix crown with ten branches of flowers. When it comes to her, it is a nine-branched phoenix. The concubine adds the flower trees in turn.
.
This tiara of hers was made by her grandmother. It was originally made of ten golden flowers as a dowry for her, but now she took off one in accordance with her status. Both the servants who serve and the women who come in and out are very envious.
The second sister-in-law of her eldest uncle's family outside urged her with joy: "Oh! Why haven't you finished putting on your makeup yet? I've been urged to do it twice outside. What do you mean, the eldest girl is just getting on the sedan chair? Don't let the new princess be too scared.
go out!"
There was a burst of laughter, and the whole room was filled with excitement again. The nuns couldn't help but speed up their hand movements, saying in their mouths: "It's fast, it's fast. If you add another poem to encourage makeup, I, the old ladies, can go faster."
Sometimes shouting and sometimes setting off cannons, Chu Yunjing became nervous due to all the commotion, and the usually calm person also panicked.
With the last earring put on, the makeup is complete, and the next step is to get married.
It was supposed that Chu Wei was carrying the bride on his back to go to the main hall to say goodbye to his parents. Although Chu Wei was only thirteen years old, he was very strong and was as tall as Chu Yunjing. He carried her very steadily and seemed to feel her strength.
Worried, Chu Wei comforted him: "Don't be afraid, big sister, just hold on tight."
Just as he was about to go out, there was another panic. Aunt An shouted from the crowd: "Fan with a round fan! Fan with a round fan! How come no one in the room saw the bride come out of the pavilion without a round fan."
The women cheered: "Oh, look, I was so happy that I forgot about it ten miles away!"
Chu Yunjing took the fan, pressed his slightly shy face down, and smiled.
This round fan was used by her mother when she got married. The fan is made of goose-yellow cloth with magnolia flowers embroidered by her mother herself.
Everyone in the room knew that there was no groom today, only a proxy, and all those who came were royals and princes. No one who didn't understand etiquette would embarrass the host's family in public today, so they all worked harder.
She thought to herself that it was just a show, and everyone had given enough respect to play it out without incident.
On the other hand, Mr. He was the troublemaker, who was supposed to be taking care of things in the inner courtyard. As soon as he heard that the bride-to-be was coming, he immediately ran to the front hall and rushed to get close to the married women. Even the rest of the family was in a hurry.
But she only wanted to climb the dragon and follow the phoenix.
When they arrived at the front hall, Chu Yi, the host with a serious face, saw his daughter dressed in bright red, with sadness flashing in her eyes. Chu Yunjing caught this look, probably thinking of her mother.
She kept holding her fan in front of her, and could not see who was saluting her. She could only vaguely see that the figure was a child. The sixth prince was only ten years old this year, and his figure had not yet grown.
She was the only one to serve tea. The sixth prince was just here to pick her up and go back to pay homage to her ancestors. The other six princes did not participate at all.
She was being carried on a sedan chair, and she was wearing heavy clothing that restricted her. It was inconvenient to hold a round fan.
A group of people were walking towards the royal ancestral temple to pick up the bride. The roadside was full of people joining in the fun. The scene today was huge. The dowry alone carried more than a hundred boxes. The wedding scene occupied a main street, and the shops on the side were packed with people.
, there were all the spectators upstairs and downstairs, and some of the crowd sighed: "Oh, what a big scene. Knowing that she was married to stay alone in an empty house, the emperor must have given the crown princess the wedding specifications to make up for it."
Unavoidably, many of them come here to mock the Chu family. People don't like others' kindness, and they always want to step on someone else's to show their nobility.
In a corner where no one is paying attention, there is a woman in red wearing a curtain, looking at the guard of honor, holding a piece of white jade in her hand...
Chu Yunjing was playing with her fan in the sedan chair. She thought about what her mother was like when she got married, and she jumped from one cage to another. Whether such a glorious marriage would be a blessing or a curse in the future...
...
She couldn't help but think too much, and the sedan chair stopped steadily, and then the grandma shouted: "The bride comes down to pay homage to her ancestors!"
She was helped into the ancestral temple again. The sixth prince did not dismount, so she entered the main hall by herself.
There were candlelight burning in the ancestral temple, and there were about a hundred royal figures neatly placed at the main table. Grandma took away her round fan and motioned her to kneel on the futon headed by her. Someone had already lit the incense.
She held the incense in both hands, bowed three times, and gave her three short incense sticks. She understood that these were for her mother-in-law. King Qi was born to the late queen. The late queen died young, so she came to pay homage to her ancestor.
The rule is to pay homage to your deceased mother-in-law. Afterwards, the ceremony officer will fill in her name in the family tree - Princess Qi, Qin Chu family Yunjing, this is considered a ceremony.
After getting on the sedan chair again, the huge procession of welcoming the bride went straight to Prince Qi's Mansion. They got off the sedan chair, got on the saddle, stepped on the brazier, and scattered grain beans... She followed the shouts and completed all the wedding ceremonies. She became
The real Princess Qi.
The Sixth Prince stopped here, and a group of wives embraced her into the inner room. The inner room was also decorated in fiery red, and the ancient wood-carved furniture was all covered with joy. Si Yu swept a handful of jujube dumplings on the bed for her.
They made room for each other and sat on the bed. The wife of the host recited some auspicious words, and everyone left.
It was already dusk outside. After the ceremony, all the guests were sent away, leaving no room for the banquet. In an instant, the entire palace became much calmer. There were soldiers guarding the palace. This could be regarded as King Qi's protection for her!
There was no wine and no fan ceremony. He took the fan away, ordered Si Yu to put it away properly, and took off the shackles on his head.
She glanced at her room. The decoration was very similar to the gorgeous palace she saw when she was a child. The palace was decorated according to the style of the palace.
Marrying is the most important thing in a woman's life. She has also completed this step in her life, so let's live a good life!
Qian Guanguan and Si Yu helped her take off her red wedding dress and sat in front of the dressing table to undo her hair.
Before he could get over the tension of the wedding, the person in the mirror frowned and stared at himself in the mirror with a somewhat panicked look. The dressing table was Chu Yunjing's dowry, which was sent a few days ago, and had been taken over by the prince's wife early.
The servants were waiting for her to enter the house.
There was a soft knock on the door: "Greetings to the princess, I'm waiting for you to prepare a meal. Can you please eat now?"
She didn't have much of an appetite. She couldn't help but eat at her wedding banquet. She turned to look at Si Yu reflected in the mirror and whispered, "Pass it on!"
After a few sips, she asked someone to leave. She was already exhausted both physically and mentally. She told her to take a bath. Si Yu squeezed her shoulders again and fell asleep early.
Not only were patrolling soldiers outside the window, but there were also two cold-faced soldiers guarding the door of the main house - Su Hua and Fu Feng. They were seen wearing black clothes and soft armor, with slender and strong figures, each holding a sword.
The servants who were walking in and out with their elbows on both sides were frightened when they saw these two people and walked around.
When Si Yu went out, she didn't see it. She bumped into someone and put her head on the hilt of the sword. She hissed in pain and quickly rubbed the sore spot. She was furious. She didn't know who could be so blind and blocked in the main room.
Lu, just about to curse, raised her head and met a cold gaze. This man exuded murderous aura. She was stunned by the man's gaze. Staring at the coldness, her anger was extinguished in an instant.
The man looked down at her, frowning at first. Their eyes intertwined for a long time, and the man actually became a lot softer. He had been on the battlefield for a long time, and most of the things around him were blunt weapons. He also became stiff, and suddenly there was a collision in his arms.
Falling in love with such a soft little person actually made him feel uncomfortable all over.
"How long do you want to touch me, girl?"
With the cold voice, Si Yu came to her senses and hurriedly put away her hand against the man's chest and took a few steps back. At this time, the distance between the two of them was separated. She lowered her head in panic to hide her red face. Si Yu always
As a rule, she never took another look at a man. Today, she was attracted by that man's gaze and stared at him for a long time. She regretted it endlessly.
"I'm really sorry... Sir... Sir, it's been a hard work, please... say goodbye." She almost ran away from here.
After she left, the man stared at her back for a long time, his eyes lingering, until Fu Feng coughed and signaled to him.
When Si Yu went to the main house the next day, she was first afraid of bumping into the person from last night, so she didn't dare to raise her head all the way. This night, she was like a girl in love who had been upset all night, but she didn't know that the two people who were keeping watch had already left. Si Yu
He didn't see the figure, so he breathed a long sigh of relief and went into the inner room to wait on him.
According to the ceremony, today Chu Yunjing is going to the palace to meet the emperor, the queen, the concubines, and the married woman.
Because I had a new bed, I didn't sleep well all night, so I woke up early to dress up.
She combed her hair into a woman's bun, abandoning the girl's bun before, and used a hollow white jade hairpin and two white jade gold hairpins to restrain her black hair, which was consistent with her status but not ostentatious.
She has leaf-shaped eyebrows and is painted with pink lipstick. Her complexion is translucent, and her whole person is like a pool of clear spring water, noble and soft.
Only Si Yu, Qian Guanguan and Aunt An were waiting in the inner room. The three of them had their hands full. Aunt An brought a pearl-colored long-sleeved gown and tied a sachet containing refreshing incense around her waist.
After everything was packed up, I ate less breakfast, went out, got in the car, took Aunt An and Si Yu and walked towards the palace.
The carriage stopped at the Nine Immortals Gate to the west of the palace, which is the nearest side door to Fengyi Palace. Walking on the corridor to Fengyi Palace, the Dafeng Palace is mostly built in black and dark red to show its solemnity.
The palace maids and eunuchs who passed by knelt down and saluted politely, and did not dare to stand up until they had left.
Follow the eunuch who led the way and walked all the way to Fengyi Palace. The concubines and concubines of various palaces had already gathered in the palace, and the princesses of each family were all eagerly waiting for the newlyweds who stole the show at yesterday's wedding. The wedding ceremony of the princess was the first in nearly fifty years.
First place.
When the prince of the current dynasty married, he was not registered as a prince, and he was treated as a prince. When the current prince got married, he was just a prince. A few generations further up, he ascended the throne at a young age, and he was not married at that time.
Although the Chu family was a low-ranking official, they were able to enjoy such glory. This was not only to make up for King Qi not returning to the capital, but also to show that Chu Yi was valued by His Majesty. For a while, she didn't know whether she could believe the rumors that King Qi was not favored.
Chu Yunjing was introduced into the main hall. As she crossed the threshold, the eyes of the ladies in the room came over to look at her. Some were fake, some looked dissatisfied, and some were sincere. Just the resentment of cannibalism.
I dug my eyes at her several times. If she were a timid person, she might have fainted from being stared at by these people.
