When the princess was sleeping, the curtain hung down and the sandalwood curled.

The door of the bedroom is open, and the maids in Shaoyin Palace are busy. In front of the dressing mirror, Lin'an sits with his waist upright, staring at himself in the bronze mirror.

In the mirror, the woman's cheek is round and smooth, just like a smooth goose egg. After applying powder to her eyebrows, her appearance becomes more delicate and vivid.

In addition, the Maiden's skillful hand painted plum blossom makeup on her forehead, so the charming and sentimental royal highness of Princess made her more charming and charming.

In a woman's life, she will have a chance to see her own Phoenix.

She's waiting.

More fortunately, the bridegroom is a good man, a lover will get married.

"Your Highness has been quiet a lot recently. Is it hard to bear?" The grand maid combed her hair and asked with a smile.

His highness is always chirping, lively and charming. The nearer his marriage is, the more he learns to be gentle and gentle.

"The Empress Dowager said that if you marry a woman, you can no longer be spontaneous."

Lin'an sighed: "I'm just pretending. I'll show my true colors in the future."

Just then, the elegant empress dowager took the maids into the room, glanced at the Phoenix crown on the table, and said faintly:

"How are you getting ready?"

After the grand palace maids around Lin'an saluted, they said in a respectful voice:

"When the maidservant combs his Highness's hair, it will be done."

The Empress Dowager went to the dresser and looked at the charming Lin'an. She suddenly frowned

"Why not open the noodles?"

The so-called "open face" is to use five color cotton yarn to wring the hair on the bride's face, making the bride look more white and beautiful.

The grand maid looked at Lin'an in embarrassment.

The latter describes the delicate eyebrows wrinkled, "mother, too, too painful...."

The Empress Dowager nodded slightly and swept all the maids in the room in a flat tone

"Your Highness doesn't open his face. Each of you has 20 boards. They are all sent to the Huanyi Bureau. "

The maids of the palace lost their looks.

Then washed off the princess's makeup again, a few maids in court work together, after a toss, finally get it done.

The Empress Dowager looks at Lin'an, who has a slightly red face and tearful eyes. She nods with satisfaction

"Yes, it's skin like grease. It can be broken by blowing."

When the auspicious time is approaching, the maid in waiting puts on the Phoenix crown for Lin'an. The Empress Dowager squints her eyes, examines for a moment, and sighs:

"How beautiful!

"You are born to be a princess. Only when you wear gold and silver can you show your delicacy and beauty."

The Empress Dowager has seen a lot of beauties, and she is the beauty of the country. But the so-called beauty, Yan state is different, different beauties need different costumes, in order to highlight the beauty and temperament incisively and vividly..

Among the beauties the Empress Dowager met, including her, she was more or less dazzled by her gorgeous jewelry and clothes.

The more gorgeous the dress, the more beautiful it is. Only Lin'an.

The Empress Dowager continued

"Neither your brother nor your wife can attend the wedding. As your mother and queen, our Palace should teach you how to live in your husband's house and get along with your uncle."

Lin'an sat down and listened patiently.

"Although you are a princess, Xu Yinluo is not an ordinary husband. So when you get married to Xu's family, you should first learn to be astringent."

In the past many years, the Empress Dowager did not care about everything. She did not care about the harem, the prince and the daughter. But she also knew that Lin'an often had trouble with Huaiqing.

If she had half of Chen's scheming and skill, it would be all right. The Empress Dowager didn't bother to say that. It's a girl who likes to pick things, but has no corresponding fighting power.

If I go to Xu's house, I don't know what I'm going to be bullied into, and it's still unreasonable.

The Empress Dowager continued

"In the Xu family, the mistress of the second room doesn't have to care. Although I don't know much about her, I have tried several times. I'm a straight hearted person with no twists and turns. Although the woman from Yunzhou is Xu Qian's mother, the affection between mother and son is not deep.

"If she knows how to handle you, she will not handle you, but treat her politely, and you will do the same to her. The big girl of Er Fang is smart, but she has little to do with you. She will marry out in a few years.

"What you really care about is your husband's heart and the woman he's provoking outside."

Is Ning Yan's aunt straight hearted? But Sima said that the aunt was a very powerful and terrible person. Was it the Empress Dowager's mistake, or did she deliberately say this for the sake of calming my heart?... Lin'an muttered in her heart, and when she heard "the woman provoked outside", her eyebrows suddenly raised.

"Mother rest assured, Lin'an know how to deal with them, will treat them obediently."

The Empress Dowager took a look at her, swallowed the "ha" that came to her throat, and nodded:

"My mother's advice to you is to listen to Wang simu more. She and Erlang are engaged, and they want to marry to the Xu family this year or next year. "

It makes sense... Lin'an nods.

"Don't just lose your temper when you meet something. You have a relationship with Xu Yinluo. At the beginning of his life, you helped him a lot. If he is wronged, he will feel guilty if he mentions more about it. "

............

Through the main road to the Imperial City, Xu Qi'an sat on the little mare's back, carrying it, horseshoe "dada" toward the imperial city.

Behind him are Li Yuchun, Zhu Guangxiao, song Tingfeng and other familiar colleagues, as well as Miao Youfang, who formed a large-scale welcoming team.

The city defense forces were on both sides of the street, blocking the onlookers.

The common people were very excited when they chanted the words of "Xu Yinluo is very happy" and "a hundred years of happiness".

In their opinion, Xu Yinluo's marriage to the Royal Princess is a combination of strong and powerful forces, which will forever consolidate the country.

Besides, apart from the noble princess, who else can match Xu Yingong?

But some are deeply disappointed.

"Xu Yinluo is going to marry a princess. Alas, my daughter can't be a good wife."

"As for the beauty of your daughter, Xu Yinluo is disgusted with being a servant girl. Do your spring and autumn dream. My sister is twenty-eight years old, beautiful and unmarried. Alas, it's a pity that Xu Yinluo can't see the Pearl buried in the sand. "

"That's not easy. You send your sister to the Department of Jiaofang. Since she is so beautiful, it's not difficult to win a Huakui. Can't Xu Yinluo see it. Who doesn't know that Xu Yinluo likes to hang out with Hua Kui most. "

The crowd laughed.

Then the two men fought and were soon subdued by the city defense forces, and order was restored.

Zhu Guangxiao looks at the straight figure in plain clothes in front of him and whispers to the Song court

"I used to think that Ning Yan would marry his highness Huaiqing."

When Xu Qi'an was still a bronze Gong and a silver Gong, he went to the Imperial Palace on the ground of seeing Huaiqing. Although he had been fooling around with Lin'an in private, in Zhu Guangxiao's opinion, Xu Ningyan was clearly a princess Huaiqing who came closer.

In the past, when investigating cases, they also went to Huaiqing mansion in two or three days.

As a result, he chose his sister instead of his sister.

Song Tingfeng frowned and said with a smile

"Not marrying your majesty does not mean that you are innocent with your majesty."

Zhu Guangxiao was surprised and whispered:

"Don't talk about the Lord."

"I don't care what I'm afraid of." Song Tingfeng pours at the bridegroom in front of him.

What they said could not escape the mouth of Xu Ningyan. Since he didn't care, he didn't have to worry about his Majesty's punishment.

But then, song Tingfeng said blatantly

"I've heard that someone in the court recently proposed the establishment of a prince. This is the foundation of our country. Those scholars care about it most. "

Zhu Guangxiao said lightly:

"With your Majesty's power, you can easily suppress these voices."

"Fool!" Song Tingfeng shakes his head

"The civil and martial arts of the Manchu Dynasty are not meant to be drunk. You think it's very common for your majesty to have no offspring soon after he ascended the throne. But now that the rebellion has been leveled and the whole world has been leveled, is it time to consider your Majesty's marriage?

"The establishment of the prince is just a matter of fact. The purpose of the princes is to urge his majesty to get married as soon as possible and have a son."

Zhu Guangxiao suddenly realized, and immediately said:

"Why do you say that for no reason?"

Song Tingfeng said:

"When Ning Yan marries his highness Lin'an, I don't know how many people laugh and clap their hands. If he doesn't get married one day, no one dares to think about the position of" the head of the harem ". Got it!

"However, your majesty will have to consider the issue sooner or later. There will be a lot of people to watch in the future."

Although her majesty is a daughter, she is also of royal blood. As long as her descendants are strong enough to support her, it is not difficult to succeed to the throne.

After entering the Imperial City, he began to go through the process meticulously. First, he rode to the South Gate with the ceremony officials, where he changed into the official clothes of his son-in-law, and then offered wild geese, coins and silk as betrothal gifts.

This is called "the ceremony of walking wild geese". The wild geese symbolize loyalty and a couple for life.

At the end of the Yanxing ceremony, Xu Qi'an and the welcoming team took part in the banquet, drank and had a rest, waiting for the auspicious time.

From the early morning until the sun was shining, the official finally took his seat and said in a low voice:

"Son in law, it's time."

Xu Qi said with peace of mind that he could finally welcome the bride, bladder Bureau

He immediately followed the official to Shaoyin palace, where he met the princess's guard of honor and the charming Lin'an.

She was wearing a wedding dress and a phoenix crown, and her beauty was dazzling.

With the help of the maid of honor, Shi ran stepped out of Shaoyin palace. They were far away and their eyes met.

A thousand words, all in the eyes.

Without speaking, Lin'an rourourou took a look at him and lowered her head into the tired Zhai car.

In addition to the decoration of Zhai Yu, there are also various kinds of red and purple silk interwoven to form a gorgeous decoration.

The horizontal shaft is equipped with incense cabinet, incense burner and incense treasure.

The overall style is gorgeous and beautiful.

In a horrible mess, I didn't ask for red packets to find shoes, and make complaints about the broken door.

Of course, this is mainly because the wedding is not an important play, and there is no custom of the previous life.

Out of the palace, Xu Qi'an with the guard of honor and the wedding party, together left the Imperial City, the same way back.

The purpose of this visit should have been the emperor's son-in-law's mansion. However, after discussing with the second uncle, Xu Qi'an thought that he would stay in Xu's mansion. He bought several houses around him and expanded them into a mansion with rich courtyard.

The family still lives together.

It took another half an hour to return to Xu's house. On the way, the crowed maids carried incense burners and lotus steps, and the imperial guards swept ahead, so they couldn't walk fast.

In the grand drum music, Xu Qi'an led Lin'an into the door and went straight to the inner hall.

At this time, the hall was full of people watching the ceremony. They were all Xu people, and there were no foreign guests.

The second uncle and aunt are sitting in the hall with their waists upright. When they see Lin'an, their eyes are bright.

She is very fond of flowery girls. Lin'an's dress makes her aunt amazing.

It's good that the members of the heaven and earth society are not here, and the goods of the sky warden haven't come yet. Xu Qi'an glances at all the people in the hall. Except Huashen's face is as deep as water, all the others are smiling.

Especially Xu Lingyue, smile like flowers, sincerely feel happy for big brother!

Under the leadership of the officials of the Ministry of rites, the new couple held a hall ceremony.

The process of worship is very complicated - three kneeling, nine kowtowing and six ascending worship.

During this period, Xu Qi'an noticed that Lin'an's heart beat faster and said:

"Don't be nervous!"

Lin'an really settled down.

After the orderly completion of the ceremony, two maids holding dragon and Phoenix candles guide the journey, with Xu Qi'an and Lin'an behind.

Watching a couple turn into the back hall, her mother Ji Baiqing gently wipes away the tears on her face.

Xu yuanshuang looks at her mother, gently holds her hand, and is about to say something comforting.

At this time, she saw lu'e coming and whispered:

"Come with me, madam."

Ji Baiqing frowned, held the brocade handkerchief, and followed lu'e out.

After walking through the courtyard, she came to the wedding room of the newlyweds. Lu e opened the door and said with a smile:

"Come in, madam."

Ji Baiqing has a guess. She steps over the threshold and enters the wedding room. She sees Lin'an and Xu Qian standing side by side, waiting for a long time.

"Ning Yan, this is..."

Xu Qi'an said in a low voice

"My aunt and my second uncle raised me up like my own parents. I respect them when I worship them in front of the guests. But you are my biological mother and close relative. On my wedding day, I should worship you. "

He and Lin'an looked at each other, knelt down and kowtowed three times.

Ji Baiqing said with a smile

"Mother is very happy, very happy."

She leaned over to help her eldest son and daughter-in-law up.

Xu Qi'an said in a low voice

"Mother!"

Ji Baiqing's body suddenly stiffened.

She quietly nodded, did not stay for a long time, left the marriage room.

After walking for a while, she supported the pillar, lowered her head, and her shoulders trembled violently.

.........

When Xu yuanshuang saw her mother come back with red eyes and a little bit of makeup, she looked embarrassed. But when she looked at it carefully, she found that the knot on her eyes and eyebrows in the past 20 years had disappeared.

In the wedding room, Lin'an nestles in Xu Qi'an's arms, holding a piece of butter cake in his hand, nibbling at it for a while, and his face is full of sadness

"Will the national master rush in and kill me?

"I'm full of confidence in front of the empress dowager, but I'm afraid."

Why don't you give me advice? Xu Qian comforted him

"As soon as the national master cuts you with a sword, I stab her with a gun."

Lin an was relieved immediately, and then said:

"Help me take off the crown of my head. After wearing it for half a day, my neck aches."

Xu Qi'an helped her take off the Phoenix crown, grabbed the snake by the waist and said with a smile:

"The wedding dress is cumbersome. I'll take it off first to save the trouble. Well, the bridal chamber has been made first so that I can concentrate on serving the guests."

"No, no!"

Lin'an blushed and pushed his chest with both hands.

Although they are married, she will be shy if she is not in charge.

After a while, Xu Qi'an took a look at the water leak in the corner and pinched his eyebrows

"I've been invited out."

There must be countless moths today, but it's OK. He has come up with a complete solution.

...........

PS: I want to vomit when I look up the data today. The princess's wedding specifications, process, entourage and so on. After checking, I found that each dynasty was different, and the content of the data was very simple. In a word, there was no specific process or how to operate. Skull pain.

I think that the most important thing is to write a book to the later stage and to this extent. Many things can't be omitted directly. They may not be good-looking or interesting, but they can enhance the style of a book and enhance its authenticity.
