Chapter 60: Merge
After the car entered the palace, the prince and the princess had to get out of the car to transfer, and once again transferred to the Caiyu, the officials stopped in front of the Fengtian Palace, and the Shizi and Zhang Zhaohua's Caiyu were still walking forward, until they walked in front of the Chunxi Palace.

This temple is where they will spend tonight, and in this place, an important ritual will be performed—the union. After tonight, they will move out of the palace and return to the palace of the kings.
The prince and Zhang Zhaohua came down from the top of the court, and the praise led the prince to the east side of the palace gate, and the female official led Zhang Zhaohua to the west side of the temple gate. When she saw Shizi worshiping her, Zhang Zhaohua was actually a little nervous, because she clearly saw the beads of sweat on Shizi's head rolling down, and there was steaming water vapor on his forehead, as if he opened the cage drawer and took out a pot of freshly steamed buns.
After the two entered the temple, there were two treasure beds on the east and west sides of the hall, and the praise and introduction sang a "ascend seat", and the two sides were helped on the treasure bed and sat opposite each other.
At this time, the deacon came up with a table, which included food and cakes, and the lady brought the cup of gold and drank wine. Zhang Zhaohua doesn't eat whatever she wants, she eats whatever people give. Of course, eating things in the mouth will not be bad, Zhang Zhaohua tasted the taste of Shenglong dumplings, spring rolls and sesame shortbread, and also ate steamed vegetables, as well as a shrimp powder fruit, this looks like a snack thing, the thin white skin of the powder is actually wrapped in the dew, bamboo fetus, meat and Amanita phalloides, eating a mouthful of fresh fragrance, especially the oily moisturizing feeling of the tongue touching Amanita phalloides, which really makes Zhang Zhaohua want to stop.
It is estimated that Zhang Zhaohua likes to eat this powdered fruit, and then the female official has been holding the powdered fruit for her, and they have to repeat this ritual three times, that is, eat a little and drink a glass of wine, eat a little and drink a glass, and so on three times before the deacons withdraw the case.
After that, they bowed to each other twice, and then they were led into the apse to change their regular clothes.
This is the completion of the so-called "joint ceremony", after Zhang Zhaohua changed his regular clothes and rested in the inner hall, Zhang Zhaohua, who changed his clothes, really felt comfortable, because the four corners of the hall were lit with charcoal fires, as soon as he entered the hall, Zhang Zhaohua was soaked in sweat by the heat, and he could only take off the dress that crushed the person after completing the ceremony, but the problem is that he will not let you take a bath, and he will not let you take a bath all night today, so he will not wait until the end of the morning meeting tomorrow and return to the palace of the kings, so it doesn't matter if you take a bath or not.
Fortunately, she took a serious bath last night, why should she say that she was serious, because she had long hair and had not cut it much, since she became the princess, she washed her hair not only with tea bran or honey locust, it took at least half an hour to wash her hair, using water boiled with sesame leaves and walnut skin, and using fragrant pancreas when washing, and after washing, she wiped it over and over again with a grate dipped in flower dew oil and balm, and wiped it on her head over and over again, and wiped it until the end of her hair was almost dry, and then carefully wrapped it in a headscarf before sleeping.
It takes so much effort to wash a hair, naturally it can't be washed every day, but this is the benefit of Zhang Zhaohua wearing it in ancient times, because the diet is healthy, there are no hormones and fertilizers, the air quality is good, there is no industrial dust pollution, and Zhang Zhaohua is born with fine pores, so he doesn't wash his hair for a week, and he doesn't look greasy and gray.
But you can't really go without washing your hair for a week, Zhang Zhaohua can endure it for three days at most, so he must wash it well. Thanks to the fact that she washed it once last night, otherwise she would have been spoiled if she was sweating all over her body today.
Don't let wash your hair and wash your body, but you can wash your face with water, Zhang Zhaohua took off the hairpin ring jewelry under the service of the female official, and called the water boy to carefully clean her face - she is considered to remove makeup, because today's wedding is not her usual rice powder, but lead powder. Don't mention the harm of lead powder, Zhang Zhaohua must not leave a little residue on her face, so she washed three basins of water in a row, and she didn't stop until the female officials frowned.
The ancients had crowns for both men and women, and men's crowns were not taken off every time before going to bed, so it was too troublesome to comb once and solve them once, and women did not have to relax all their hair buns before going to bed, because some hair buns were also very laborious, so they only needed to take off the hairpin hairpins on the buns, and there were not many of them, because after all, there was still a Qizhai crown on the head, so after a while, Zhang Zhaohua's head was only left with a flat bun, Zhang Zhaohua himself pinned a lock of hair behind his ears, and unfortunately found that the index finger and thumb were sticky and greasy, and she couldn't help but have a black line- How much oil did the grandmothers put on her last night?
The dress she took off was put away by Mama again, because she would wear it tomorrow to meet the emperor, and the regular clothes she is wearing now are a set of large-sleeved shirts, which are really red, and the Xia curtain and gown are dark cyan. Just looking at the clothes, Zhang Zhaohua knew that it looked good, but because there was no equivalent bronze mirror, what she looked like after putting on the clothes was only heard from the mouths of the female officials and grandmothers. Of course, I won't hear the truth from them, because if it is the clothes and jewelry that they are appraising, they are very tasteful and know which skirt matches best with what color jacket and what style of jewelry, but the crown and clothing jewelry of the inner woman, this is not something they can judge.
Just eaten, Zhang Zhaohua was not very hungry, but she didn't feel the slightest sense of fullness, she sat alone on the bed, with no books in hand, no Shuanglu and no pitcher, she couldn't do anything, because the female officer next to her was staring closely.
"When will the prince come back?" Zhang Zhaohua couldn't help but ask.
"The prince is in the Chunhe Palace to thank the grandson and the subordinate officials," a grandmother said, "Please wait a while, the princess." ”
Zhang Zhaohua asked the same question three times and got the same answer three times. In fact, Zhang Zhaohua is wishing that the prince would not come, if she is drunk and can't have sex, the female officials can't blame her.
Yes, intercourse. For this question, Zhang Zhaohua has always felt that her brain is burning, since she came back from the Spring Palace painting that day, she felt that something was wrong, and she was forty years old in her two lifetimes combined, but what she had to face tonight was the first time.
Alas, I can't think about it, Zhang Zhaohua sat silently and folded his fingers again.
When Zhang Zhaohua didn't know when, when he felt that he might have fallen asleep, he heard the sound of the female officials walking: "The prince is here-"
"Quick," said a female officer, "where is the gold hijab?"
As soon as Zhang Zhaohua opened her eyes, she was suppressed by a big red hijab, in fact, she felt that this hijab was useless, she hadn't seen it put on since the morning of the wedding, and she didn't put it on until it was finished, obviously to complete the last procedure.
After a while, Zhang Zhaohua felt that someone walked into her, and a gold scale picked up the hijab on her head, Zhang Zhaohua looked at the past, she hadn't seen the whole picture of the prince carefully, but she was shocked by a touch of disgust in his eyes that passed quickly.
Zhang Zhaohua felt that she was not mistaken, a trace of indescribable disgust did flash in Shizi's eyes, and it was mixed with an unbearable feeling, but she soon found that after this inexplicable emotion, there seemed to be a look of guilt in Shizi's eyes.
So what's going on? Is there something he does that is not to his liking, or is it because he comes from a small family, which in itself is unbearable for him?
The female officials were rewarded by the prince, and said a few more times: "The couple are good together, Luan Feng and Ming" before they retreated in an orderly manner. When the two sat opposite each other, Zhang Zhaohua could clearly see his full picture.
