Shy women are the most attractive. Princess Changle's pretty face showed a slight blush, like rouge.
This alluring look made the slightly tipsy Yang Fan dumbfounded.
After a while, the maid reminded: "Prince-in-law, it's time to drink Henu wine."
Hexinjiu, which means "making cups of wine", is one of the Han wedding customs and originated from the Zhou Dynasty.
In ancient times, people used "幹" as a wine vessel when getting married.
When they combine, they get married.
It's a gourd, cut a melon into two gourds, and each bride and groom take one to drink.
Hexin wine carries the blessings of parents, the promise of sharing joys and sorrows, and the beautiful meaning of never being separated, and it has been preserved to this day.
According to "Tokyo Menghualu Volume 5 Married Wife":
"The newlyweds use two cups tied with colorful knots and drink from one cup to each other. After drinking, they throw the cup and dry it under the bed with the flower crown. When the cup is raised and closed, everyone is happy and congratulates, and then the tent is closed.
finished."
Therefore, after the Song Dynasty, the ritual of combining wine was to exchange cups for drinking, and "combining wine" became "exchanging cups of wine".
The two maids took out the gourd that had been prepared, untied the red silk, and cut the gourd into two pieces.
Taking out the pulp of the melon, Yang Fan and Princess Changle each held half of it. The maid helped to fill the cup with wine. The couple looked at each other and smiled, then put their hands to their lips and drank half of the melon. Then they gave it to each other to drink again.
At this point, the ceremony of joining together is completed.
Even if they haven't gone to the bridal chamber yet, if the couple has reached this point, they are considered an official couple in ancient times.
Looking at the charming and beautiful Princess Changle, Yang Fan could no longer bear it and said softly: "Madam, let's have a rest!"
After speaking, he winked at the two maids.
Although the twins will also become his concubines, Yang Fan really doesn't like to have people watch from the sidelines.
But before she finished speaking, Princess Changle blurted out: "No!"
Seeing Yang Fan's confused look, Princess Changle quickly explained: "Husband, our marriage ceremony has been completed, but Sister Gao Yang is still waiting for you, so you go find her first."
"If Mr. Lang can come to Changle first, I will be satisfied. We will have a long life together."
Yang Fan was a little surprised when he heard Princess Changle's words.
Although history records that Princess Changle was a virtuous and virtuous person, I never expected that she would be so generous.
Although Changle and Gao Yang have equal status, if Yang Fan rests with her first, it means that he loves her more.
When the servants of Yang Mansion see this scene, they will be more inclined to her.
But Princess Changle went against the norm and persuaded Yang Fan to go to Princess Gaoyang, which showed that she was average.
Of course, Yang Fan also knew that he had to go over to comfort Princess Gaoyang, so he followed the current and walked to the next room.
Only then did Yang Fan realize that having too many wives would cause trouble, and there was no way to separate oneself during the bridal night!
Angrily, he arrived at Princess Gaoyang's new house, opened the door, and saw Princess Gaoyang sitting quietly beside the bed.
Today, Princess Gaoyang is wearing a bright red splendid palace dress, with a skirt that touches the floor, and gold threads all over her body, surrounded by colorful jade.
Her dark hair was meticulously tied into a high bun, and her head was covered with pearls and jade hairpins. Her formerly pretty and beautiful cheeks were painted with heavy makeup, her skin was as good as snow, her small mouth was like red, and her petite and slender figure revealed a
The stock is dignified and luxurious.
Princess Gao Yang was a little surprised when she saw Yang Fan coming in.
It had been planned that Yang Fan would not come today.
No matter in terms of status, status or age, Yang Fan should go to Princess Changle's place to spend the night.
Although Princess Gaoyang had thought that Yang Fan would come to her first, etiquette was etiquette and she couldn't change it.
Now that Yang Fan has come to her, it is undeniable that Princess Gaoyang is still very happy. After all, this represents Yang Fan's love for her.
Upon seeing Yang Fan, Princess Gaoyang raised her head happily and asked in surprise: "Husband, why are you here in Gaoyang?"
Seeing Princess Gaoyang's ecstatic expression, Yang Fan couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
At this time, what the woman wants is not excessive demands, but a little attention from her husband.
I really just ignored it!
If Princess Changle hadn't reminded her just now, he would have let down a woman who was so infatuated with him.
However, seeing Princess Gao Yang's delicate little face, Yang Fan said sarcastically: "Don't you think Sister Gao Yang would like me to come over?"
"Of course not!" Princess Gao Yang said quickly.
Seeing Yang Fan's mean look, she immediately realized that Yang Fan was teasing her. She lifted up her skirt and ran to Yang Fan and said coquettishly, "Husband, you are so mean. You clearly know that Gao Yang didn't mean that."
With that said, he used the two-finger Zen magic technique on Yang Fan's arm.
From this we can see that Gao Yang and Chang Le are completely different personalities.
In Yang Fan's opinion, Princess Gao Yang is the kind of person who dares to love and hate, and believes that a person will never change.
In later generations, she belongs to the type of savage girlfriend.
Yang Fan felt funny in his heart.
Regardless of men or women, their IQs drop a lot after they fall in love, let alone get married.
It is really rare for this arrogant woman to be so flustered and lacking in confidence, which shows that her love is not shallow.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand. Although Princess Jinzhiyuye of Gaoyang has an arrogant personality, she is very affectionate.
In front of his lover, he is naturally willing to show his daughterly attitude in front of Yang Fan.
What's more important is that Yang Fan respects her every time, and even if he lowers his profile, he doesn't feel that his status will be reduced and he will lose his right to speak.
Therefore, Princess Gaoyang looks carefree and doesn't care about anything.
In fact, she still has a good hand at controlling people's hearts, but she doesn't need to use it usually.
Yang Fan grinned when he saw Princess Gao Yang acting coquettishly towards him.
The little pepper-like Princess Gaoyang turned into a little sheep. The change in painting style was so dramatic that he was a little flattered for a moment!
However, which man doesn’t have a little vanity!
The inner satisfaction of being able to make the extremely arrogant Princess Gaoyang surrender to her is self-evident.
So Yang Fan took Princess Gaoyang into his arms and said with a smile: "Husband, I have no place to sleep tonight. Madam, can you take her in?"
Hearing this, the two palace maids covered their mouths and started laughing. This prince-in-law was so funny.
People say that Yang Fan is a stick, and it is better to meet him than to be famous. This prince-in-law looks very interesting!
Being held in Yang Fan's arms, Princess Gao Yang rubbed her little head on Yang Fan's chest like an ostrich.
Hearing Yang Fan's words, Gao Yang glanced at Yang Fan shyly, pursed his lips, and cursed with a smile: "My husband is really open-minded. If this word gets out, others won't say that our royal daughter abused our husband?"
Yang Fan chuckled and said: "Humph, let's see who dares. If they dare to gossip and frame our princess, I will blow their heads."
Although she was very happy, Princess Gaoyang said: "Mr. Lang is really not a decent person. No wonder others call you Bangchui!"
"Haha, sister Gao Yang, do you want to see how I punish people with a stick?"
Yang Fan pretended to be a bad guy.
Unfortunately, Yang Fan did not scare Princess Gaoyang, but made her laugh happily.
For a time, the room was filled with laughter and laughter.
The two laughed for a while, and then drank a glass of wine at the reminder of the palace maid.
After drinking, the two sat side by side. The palace maid cut off a lock of their hair, intertwined it together, wrapped it in red silk, and placed it in a brocade box.
This is a very important link for ancient couples - tying their hair.
This gift is only limited to the first marriage, which is often referred to as the married couple, which also refers to the first couple.
Even the ladies like Changle Gong and Wu Meiniang just now were not treated like this.
Princess Changle belongs to the second marriage, while Wu Meiniang belongs to the concubine family.
Therefore, we can know that in ancient times, taking a concubine and continuing a relationship could not be called the title of knot.
Although in later generations, the custom of tying hair had gradually disappeared and no one took it seriously. However, in the Tang Dynasty, couples who tied their hair were not only respected by people, but also recognized by the government.
Because marrying a couple symbolizes the beautiful meaning that the couple will never be separated.
Especially at this time, men can take concubines, and having a wife is especially respected.
This is why in some large families, if the male master wants to take a concubine, he must seek the opinion of his married wife, which shows that his status is unique.
Therefore, throughout China's thousands of years of history, psychologically and emotionally, marrying a wife has been particularly important.
If you are not married to a wife, you will generally not be eligible to enter the ancestral graves after death.
At this point in the wedding ceremony, all the procedures have been basically completed, and we are just waiting for the last step of the wedding ceremony.
The palace maid helped tidy up the quilt, and the atmosphere in the room became a little strange.
The fiery red candles illuminated the new house a bright red, and the flames made a slight sound as they flickered.
Princess Gao Yang was sitting next to the bed, her pretty face was tense, her forehead was drooped, and her hands were clenched, looking very nervous.
The palace maid looked a little amused, glanced at Yang Fan, walked up to Princess Gao Yang, and said softly: "I will take care of your highness to remove your makeup."
"Huh? Oh!" Princess Gao Yang breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and walked to the dressing table to sit down.
The mirrors in this kind of glass workshop are a hundred times better than the previous bronze mirrors. Not only can they reflect the details of their makeup, but they can also secretly look at Yang Fan with a smile on his face.
Another palace maid made the bed, walked to Yang Fan, and said with a blushing face: "Slave to serve the consort in bathing and dressing?"
Today, after being smoked by firecrackers all day, he was sweating again. Yang Fan did not refuse and went directly to the bathroom.
The palace maid followed Yang Fan to the bathroom and stood in front of Yang Fan, ready to stretch out her hand to undress and untie him.
To be honest, this palace maid is really good-looking, with a tall and slender figure. Standing in front of Yang Fan, a stream of body fragrance kept entering Yang Fan's nose. It smelled very good.
Yang Fan was a little embarrassed and smiled brightly: "This... I'll do it myself!"
In fact, it was not that Yang Fan was not used to the extravagant life of the Tang aristocrats, but that he was not used to strangers.
In the past, when Xing'er and Wan'er wanted to help him bathe, Yang Fan would never refuse.
This is not because he is being pretentious, but because of the discomfort in his heart.
The palace maid did not speak, but bit her lip gently to express her protest through actions.
Because her mother-in-law died young, Princess Gaoyang grew up eating the food of hundreds of families in the palace. Therefore, she did not have a fixed maid, and was all served by palace maids.
When Princess Gaoyang got married this time, she naturally needed a maid as a dowry. Therefore, Li Erxia specially selected two palace maids with good figures and delicate faces as dowry.
As dowry maids, becoming the concubines of the prince-in-law is their fate that has already been determined and cannot be resisted.
Just think about it, of course the dowry chosen by the emperor himself cannot be married to other families.
Unless the emperor orders it again, who dares to ask for it?
This is the fate of ancient court ladies. They either die alone or are given away like objects. Their fate is beyond their control.
Of course, this is also the tragedy of women in this era.
Not only these palace maids and maids, but also noble and wealthy ladies, how many of them can control their own marriage?
In an era when men were superior to women, after these women were married off, their status was often only slightly higher than that of ordinary maids.
If you encounter a cold and ruthless male master, most of them will suffer miserable abuse and die, or they will be given away to others.
But for the two palace maids, they are more than willing to marry Princess Gaoyang to the Yang Mansion.
Although there are rumors that Yang Fan is very irritable, uses a hammer and hits people at every turn.
But as palace maids, they can still find out some information, so how can they easily believe those rumors that are spread by false rumors?
Furthermore, Yang Fan often made the emperor angry but was not severely punished. He even married his two most beloved princesses together. This shows that the details of Yang Fan have been found out clearly by His Majesty Li Er.
More importantly, Yang Fan's attitude towards women.
For Wu Meiniang, I punched the Duke, for Xiao Shiyun, I toughened the King of Wei...
He also let Wu Meiniang, a concubine, control the financial power of the house.
A husband with such an open mind, such respect for women, and such deep affection is simply the best destination for a woman.
Although every maid who enters the palace hopes to be favored by the emperor one day and ascend to heaven.
But now that they have been sent out, their way back is blocked.
Yang Fan will be their only support in the future, and Yang Mansion will be their only safe haven.
Therefore, the palace maid did not retreat, but looked at Yang Fan with tears in her eyes.
Yang Fan sighed and said nothing more, but asked: "What's your name?"
"Slave Zheng Ruyu..." the palace maid replied happily, and at the same time reached out her hand to gently undress and untie Yang Fan.
Although he was not used to it, Yang Fan had no choice but to let it go.
If he doesn't need Zheng Ruyu's service, it would be equivalent to driving her out of the house.
For this girl, it was like pushing her into a desperate situation.
Of course, Yang Fan was just not used to being served by strangers.
In fact, Zheng Ruyu is no worse than his two maids in terms of appearance alone, and is even more mature.
As a man, how can he not be attracted to a beautiful woman as beautiful as a flower?
However, precisely because of the unfamiliarity, the whole bathing process was simply torture for Yang Fan.
As long as a man could bear it, Yang Fan couldn't help but reach out his hand.
In response to Yang Fan's reaction, Zheng Ruyu's pretty face turned red and she bit her lips.
However, she also knew that enough was enough. When Yang Fan wanted to go further, Zheng Ruyu easily dodged it.
Tonight is the bridal night of the two princesses and their consort. No matter how willing she is, she does not dare to sacrifice herself tonight.
A hot bath also made Yang Fan completely relaxed, and he also sobered up a bit.
When Yang Fan returned to the bedroom, he saw Princess Gaoyang dragging the palace maid and rushing past him into the bathroom as if she was running away.
Yang Fan shook his head and was speechless. We are now a couple. Are you so shy?
After waiting on the bed for a long time, the bathroom door slowly opened.
After taking a bath, Princess Gaoyang sat beside the bed with the help of the palace maid.
After taking a bath, Princess Gaoyang's already fair skin was like mutton-fat white jade, exuding a crystal-white halo in the red candlelight.
Her petite and pretty face was dyed with a faint blush, making her look extremely charming.
Yang Fan's lips were a little dry and he couldn't help but sit up, reaching out his hands to gently hold his slender waist.
Suddenly being hugged, Princess Gaoyang's delicate body shook violently, her head hung lower, and she asked in a trembling voice: "Husband, what do you want to do?"
Yang Fan smiled unconsciously: "It's already late at night, so of course I invite my wife to rest with me."
The two palace maids on the side suppressed their laughter and saluted in unison: "Consort, princess, please rest first. If you need anything, please call us. We will wait outside."
With that said, Zheng Ruyu took out a piece of pure white brocade handkerchief from the dressing table, spread it in the center of the bed, and then stepped out together.
Seeing this, Princess Gaoyang became even more nervous!
I felt that the big hands between my waist were a little hot, so I said nervously: "Husband, why don't you go to Sister Changle's place first? Gao Yang is not ready yet!"
Having been angered just now, and now being pushed around again, Yang Fan was unhappy and said, "We just got married! How dare you despise me, my husband? I will serve you according to the family law!"
"Ah, no……"
Princess Gaoyang was immediately shocked and could not help but think of the "cruelty" of Wu Meiniang's family law to her.
I was thinking of escaping from the battle.
It was a pity that Yang Fan could not make her wish. With a gentle mention, Princess Gaoyang was placed on the bed like a little lamb.
Looking at the beauty in front of me through the dim candlelight, she is really as beautiful as jade.
