Chapter 200: The Prince's Wedding
The emperor talked to Lin Yan again: "I plan to let Tai'er and Cui's get married in April this year. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Lin Yan was surprised: "So urgent? ”
The emperor said: "It's not a hurry, the decree of marriage has been issued a long time ago." ”
Lin Yan calculated, it is only the first month now, and there are still more than three months before May, but there is still plenty of time to prepare.
Lin Yan said: "The big wedding has to be prepared from now on." ”
The prince does not have to be married to an ordinary prince, and its cumbersomeness is less than that of the emperor's wedding, and compared with the emperor's wedding, only some specifications have been reduced in some places, and the others are almost the same.
This also shows that the status of the crown prince is different from that of ordinary princes.
The emperor said: "These have their own rites to prepare. ”
The matter of the prince's wedding, the Ministry of Rites began to prepare after he gave the marriage, and there were still a few months until April, which was enough for them to complete the rest of the matters.
Although this is the case, there are also a lot of preparations to be made in the harem.
For example, repainting Yanqing Palace, decorating new houses, furniture furnishings, etc., have to ask Cui's preferences to remake, as well as the deployment of palace people in Yanqing Palace...... Now there is only one prince in Yanqing Palace, and its specifications and the configuration of the palace people are naturally only in accordance with the configuration of the prince.
After the palace people are selected, they will have to be trained again before they can be put into Yanqing Palace to serve - in case some big-hearted palace people are selected to help their masters compete for favor, it will only make the prince's back house restless.
Lin Yan asked again: "Then the Yang family and other concubines, does the emperor plan to let them enter the East Palace one month late according to the rules?" ”
The crown prince and the crown princess got married, in order to show respect for the crown princess, according to the rules, the concubines selected together would enter the East Palace one month later.
The Emperor took her hand and sat down in his arms, and asked, "Do you have other ideas?" ”
Lin Yan thought of the prince's indifferent relationship with the Cui family now, and wanted to buy her a little more time, and said: "I think it's better to let the concubine enter the palace in three months, so that the prince and the Cui family can spend more time." The Cui family advanced to the East Palace, and also had time to straighten out the affairs of the East Palace, and waited for the concubines to enter the palace before they could be controlled, so as not to be in a hurry. ”
The emperor thought for a moment and said, "It's okay." "The crown princess is a wife, and the emperor hopes that the prince can get closer to his wife instead of pampering his concubines.
The emperor suddenly remembered the family affairs of the maid again, and asked, "Has your fifth sister's family affairs been decided?" I've never heard of you. ”
When Lin Yan thought of this, she frowned a little and said, "Don't mention it, after seeing each other last time, I originally planned to settle down." As a result, a few years ago, Mrs. Xu's mother's family came to the door, saying that Mrs. Xu and her mother's family had orally agreed on the relationship between her niece and Xu Dalang. And Mrs. Xu didn't know what was wrong, so she actually arranged for her niece to live in Xu's house, and her niece ran to Xu Dalang twice in three days. When the second aunt saw this, she was dissatisfied with the Xu family and temporarily suppressed the family affairs. ”
Xu Xiao's attitude can be regarded as sincere, and he immediately came to express his heart to the Lin family, he and his grandmother didn't know that his mother would make an appointment with his uncle's family about such a family matter, and this family matter was just his mother's mind, it was not a verbal agreement, and he had never passed three books and six ceremonies, and he was not counted. For his uncle and his cousin's family, Xu Xiao also said that he would definitely deal with it.
Qi Shi breathed a sigh of relief at this time, but she was not someone who only listened to his rhetoric, everything depended on Xu Xiao's actions. As for the betrothal, let's wait until he really settles his cousin's family.
Anyway, her daughter is still young and can afford it. When her daughter can't afford it, then don't consume it - the daughter of her Lin family doesn't have to worry about getting married.
The emperor let out an "oh" and said, "What else has happened?" ”
The emperor asked again, "Which is Madame Xu's maiden family?" I wasn't impressed. ”
The emperor also has to understand the complex relationship between the nobles and nobles in the court, and the emperor's memory is also good, but he can't remember which family Mrs. Xu's maiden family is, so he can only say that Mrs. Xu's maiden family is not high-class at all, and it is not enough to enter his eyes.
Lin Yan said: "Mrs. Xu's father was Lord Liu of the First Emperor's Tongzheng Division, but unfortunately he died early. Mrs. Xu's brother has not made any achievements, and is now the official of Shuntian Mansion from Liupin. ”
Mrs. Xu's maiden family is withered, there is only one brother, Mrs. Xu's father died before she left the cabinet, and Mrs. Xu's brother can't take over as soon as Lord Liu leaves, so now Mrs. Xu's maiden family has also been defeated.
The emperor was a little strange and said: "Looking at Mrs. Xu that day, it doesn't look like a capable character. Mrs. Xu is shrewd, and Xu An is an only son, how could she choose such a daughter-in-law for her son. ”
Lin Yan said: "The concubine didn't understand it at first, but she didn't know until she asked the second aunt later." Xu Xiao's grandfather Xu Shangshu and Mrs. Xu's grandfather Liu were classmates, and later they were admitted to the Jinshi together, and the latter became a waiter in the Ministry of Rites and a Zuo Tongzheng. Later, Lord Xu was corrupted, and it was Lord Liu who spoke for him in front of the first emperor to clear the charge. After Lord Liu died, Lord Xu rose step by step to become a scholar, and Lord Xu set the daughter of Lord Liu as his wife, which was somewhat to repay his kindness. ”
Lin Yan heard that Mrs. Xu actually didn't agree with this family affair at that time, but she couldn't resist her husband, and her son didn't look promising, so she reluctantly agreed.
As a result, after Mrs. Xu entered the door, Xu An was amorous, but Mrs. Xu would only be blindly virtuous and let her husband's concubines come in one by one. Mrs. Xu took care of it for a while at first, and taught Mrs. Xu for a while, but found that Mrs. Xu was really an elm lump, no matter how she taught, she just sent out her son's concubine room, and on the other side, Mrs. Xu brought in the new concubine room for her husband, and Mrs. Xu didn't bother to care, so she tossed it by them.
In addition, Mrs. Xu had already given birth to Xu Xiao at that time, so Mrs. Xu closed the door and devoted all her thoughts to teaching her grandson.
The emperor had an impression of the Zuo Tongzheng at the time of the first emperor and nodded.
Lin Yan said again: "Let's take a look again, if Xu Xiao can handle the Liu family's family, the family affairs of the two families will be talked about." ”
It's just that Xu Xiao still let his cousin live in Xu's house, no matter how he explained it was because Mrs. Xu was crying, and he wanted to finish the New Year in order to take into account Mrs. Xu's mood, it still made Lin Yan a little dissatisfied.
The emperor was not interested in these things, but because the prince was clamoring to marry the maid at that time, he asked him to pay more attention to the marriage of the maid.
He looked at the sky outside, took Lin Yan's hand, and said, "Let's rest too." (To be continued.) )
