Chapter 37 Giving Dowry and Fighting for Beauty (1)

This year has been more lively than any previous year, and the root of this excitement is naturally Kangtai Emperor.

Emperor Kangtai was happy and the people below were naturally happy, even if he was busy and wanted to step on the hot wheels like the legendary Nezha, but his face was happy, no way, he was busy, but the benefits were unprecedented, how could there be such a thing in the past that just made a delicious meal and could be rewarded with a big golden hairpin by the master? It's your duty to do it well, and it's terrible to do it badly!

As soon as the first month passed, the palace began to get busy, why? His Majesty's youngest daughter Hua Chaojie got married, and now His Majesty's unmarried daughter is only the ninth princess, and the sun is His Majesty's pampering from childhood to adulthood, the degree of favor can be imagined!

The crown princess and the little lady of the concubine are busy every day without touching the ground, just for Lan Qiduo's wedding, although it is handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but that is the only daughter of His Majesty, in front of the ninth princess, even His Royal Highness the prince has to take a step back, how dare the concubine and the prince slack?

This day is the day before the dowry, generally according to the process of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the dowry is raised the day before the marriage, but Princess Yuanjia is twenty years old, and the dowry ...... It is said that the first queen began to save the dowry when she was alive, plus the rewards of His Majesty and the prince over the years, as well as the princess's marriage, the part that the Internal Affairs Office should have according to the regulations, just think about it, you can know how amazing Princess Yuanjia's dowry is, this is not counting the Liang Wangfu, the uncle's mansion, and the princess's mother's family, so even Yun Kaixuan and Yu Lao Sanyi and the people who are good friends with Xiahou Yi have to say that calling Xiahou Yi's little white face is actually not wronging him.

"O woman's skin! But it must be maintained, this skin is well maintained, but it is more precious than wearing any gorgeous clothes, some girls only think that good looks are easy to please the public, but they don't know that the women in this world have forgotten that they are the most pleasing person. ”

"Mama doesn't have to worry, even if she doesn't please others with her identity in this palace, she will live happily."

Mama Yun was a little disapproving: "This husband and wife don't use their identities to press each other,"

She looked around and whispered: "Forgive the slave and maid for saying a few words of arrogance, the slave and maid know that Your Majesty said that your identity is supported by him there, and you can do whatever you want, but Niangniang does not agree with Your Majesty to teach you like this, so she has already set the rules with the slave maid, and the reason why the slave and maid have been strict with you over the years is actually the foresight of the mother, otherwise with the connivance of His Majesty, His Royal Highness is only afraid that he will be more arrogant than the seventh princess, and the seventh princess still has the concubine Niangniang to worry about, but the queen does not want to ...... Your temper has made you suffer. ”

Lan Qiduo's eyes were a little sour, her mother was such a smart and wise woman, she had long known that if no one restrained her after death, her children would be difficult, so everything was deployed at that time, and she could live her life peacefully and happily if she was obedient and obedient, but in her previous life, she chose such a path by herself, and in the end, she did suffer a lot, if she didn't bother her at that time, she might not have died untimely when she left her mother by her side.

"The horse can love you so much, and the old slave also understands, on the one hand, because His Royal Highness is kind and innocent to the horse back then, and the horse knows how to repay it, on the one hand, the horse is not impressed by His Highness's bearing, and the old slave has no other wishes, just looking forward to His Highness's life as now, carefree, safe and healthy."

"Mama, I understand, I just need to keep my heart!"

Lan Qiduo was able to penetrate a little, and Mama Yun was very pleased: "So! This woman's appearance is not for others to see, the most important thing is her own most important, His Royal Highness is still young and can't see any relationship, and he can see it when he reaches the age of the old slave in the future. ”

When Mama Yun said these words to Lan Qiduo, Lan Qiduo was soaking in a bucket of milky white soup and letting a few maids who knew acupuncture points rub and rub on her. Her face was white and red because of the heat, and she was comfortably soaked in the soup at this time, and the whole person was drowsy in it. The face seemed to be transparent under the halo, and the shoulders exposed on the water were as smooth as beautiful jade, and Xiao Tuping was afraid that she would accidentally fall asleep in the bathtub, so he carefully held her chin.

Giving a dowry tomorrow is actually nothing to do with Lan Qiduo, but maintaining beauty is a woman's lifelong pursuit, Lan Qiduo has always been very positive about this pursuit, and she doesn't have so much thought, but it is pleasing to the eye! You don't see Princess Yuanjia, the people around her are all beautiful, and they have their own merits.

Although Lan Qiduo doesn't seem to care much about her appearance on weekdays, in fact, she is surrounded by everyone, why should she worry about these things? What kind of face grease, mouth grease, sesame oil, lip grease, and hair oil are all worried about her, plus there are many secret recipes in the palace, and Mama Yun is the personal maid of the queen's mother, taking care of Lan Qiduo is called a comfortable one, and Lan Qiduo's current body of ice muscle and jade bones is mostly due to Mama Yun.

But Mama Yun was not satisfied with this, in her eyes, Lan Qiduo seemed to be the existence that was even more brilliant than the Nine Heavens Xuannu, so now Lan Qiduo is now sitting in a tub of boiling milk petal bath is considered the norm!

"I have my grandmother by my side all day long, and my skin is naturally not bad, but my mother knows so much, why she never worries about herself."

Mama Yun is now in her fifties, about the same age as Emperor Kangtai, and Lan Qiduo vaguely feels that Mama Yun's temperament is very different from others, but she doesn't know where she comes from.

Mama Yun laughed, and there were fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, which made her look kind: "Individuals have their own fate, the old slave was already a walking corpse when he was young, if it weren't for the queen's mother, the old slave wouldn't want to be in this world for a long time, the red face and dry bones are just a pair of skins, now it's so neat, clean and refreshing, why care about anything else?" ”

Mama Yun said and spoke, but there seemed to be a young man bathed in the morning light and walking towards her with a shy smile, a woman is a person who pleases herself, but that person has been gone for many years, so why should she care?

Lan Qiduo has always known that Mama Yun has no desires and no desires, and she never thought that she would have no desires and no desires to this point.

Obviously, Mama Yun didn't plan to say herself: "The old slave knows that His Royal Highness has known General Xiahou for a long time, and General Xiahou is very obedient to His Highness,"

Mama Yun paused, Lan Qiduo was a little uncomfortable, in fact, what Mama said was quite tactful, even the imperial brother said, "Xiahou Yi is too indulgent to you!" At this time, he already knew about the origin of the Tianshan Snow Lotus who saved the life of the crown princess back then, at that time, Lan Qiduo was only a little older, Xiahou Yi was so obedient, and he listened to it for several years, even if the prince's heart was biased to the armpits, sometimes he couldn't say that Xiahou Yi was not good.

"It's just that the colt is obedient to His Highness, but everyone has their own taboos, and it doesn't mean that His Highness can do whatever he wants with the joy of the colt."

Lan Qiduo pouted, what did Xiahou Yi do whatever he wanted? She has what he has, and she has what he doesn't!

"The horse lost his childhood, and the people he cares about the most are his parents, but now that the people have gone, His Majesty can't be disrespectful to them just by virtue of his identity, even if he has been an ancient person, His Royal Highness must be treated as an elder, not to mention anything else, he will enter the palace on the second day after getting married, but on the third day, His Royal Highness proposed to worship the eldest couple of the Xiahou family at the right time, which is not only the respect for the eldest lord of the Xiahou family, but also the importance of His Royal Highness to the concubine."

What Mama Yun said is very reasonable.

"Anyway, there will be about a month left, and when the time comes, Mama will be by my side and remind me at any time!"

She's been a little overwhelmed with what's in her head lately.

The marriage of princesses is naturally different from others, and even a class is different from another class, such as the wedding in the common people's homes, the process of marrying ordinary ministers, and the marriage of princes and nobles to their daughters, which have their own regulations.

The princess is the highest in these levels, from the process of giving the dowry, the number of people, and the content of the dowry are all in accordance with the rules, the general princess gives the dowry when she becomes a parent, first the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs lead the Luan Yixiao to carry the princess's dowry to the horse's house, that is, the distance from the palace to the West Street, and the horse also has to lead the people to kneel and bow to the Qianqing Palace to welcome the dowry. After the dowry is delivered, the woman in charge of the internal affairs office is responsible for the furnishings.

And because Lan Qiduo's dowry is too much, those wives may not be able to finish the decoration in a day, which is why they don't give the dowry the day before the wedding.

The women invited were the royal family including Princess Liang, and the patriarch's wife and Mrs. Tu were responsible for combing her hair on the day of Lan Qiduo's wedding.

This morning from the hour (five o'clock to seven o'clock), there was really nothing to do with Lan Qiduo, usually at this time the girl's family will be ashamed, even if she gets up early, she will not appear to entertain guests, and when she arrives at Lan Qiduo, the princess, no one will ask her to entertain guests, but the people who add makeup have been in an endless stream.

The first to come were naturally a few princesses who had already become monks, but the girl's makeup was at most jewelry and clothing, if it weren't for Lan Qiduo's identity, they would also be too expensive to come in person because of the princess, but there is also a difference between this princess and the princess, so Lan Qiduo's Forget Worry Pavilion was also crowded.

The eunuchs kept spreading the word outside about who arrived and what gifts they brought, and for a while, Lan Qiduo only felt that it was not a dowry at all, but it seemed to be a rich gift compared to whom.

"The princess of Zhijun has arrived! And add, a gilded magpie Dengzhi bead hairpin, a white jade inlaid red coral bead double knot Ruyi hairpin, a red gold hairpin inlaid with eight treasures cloisonnΓ©, and a pair of inlaid coral butterfly hairpins. ”

"The concubine was so generous that she even took out the wishful hairpin at the bottom of the box."

Some people talk about it, Lan Qiduo sat on the top to talk to the princess of Zhijun, it is difficult not to hear it, but today it is all Mrs. Yipin, not even Mrs. Erpin, after all, Lan Qiduo is a princess of a country, how can she have so much energy to meet so many people?

The eunuch continued to sing: "Mrs. Shichu of Longyuan Pavilion Yipin University has arrived!" And add, a pair of pure black crystal pendants, a pair of red sandalwood crystal jade bracelets, a pair of crystal dragonfly hairpins, and a pair of citrine rings. ”

"It's worthy of calling her a crystal heart and liver glass person, this love to give people crystal has not changed for so many years."

Lan Qiduo glanced at Mrs. Chu, who was sitting down, and nodded slightly, and Mrs. Chu stood up and saluted Lan Qiduo.

"Princess Liang, Princess Liang has arrived! And add, a pair of red gold silk hairpins, a pair of red gold inlaid hairpins, a pair of jade hairpins, a pair of white jade hairpins, a pair of white jade exquisite hairpins, a pair of double happiness and double wishful dot cui hairpins, a pair of pearl inlaid hairpins, a pair of gem-inlaid hairpins, and a Baiweixuan tea shop on East Street. ”

As soon as Princess Liang's makeup list came out, she was quiet in private, and then the discussion was louder than before! The eunuch sang in a low tone, and the faces of the princesses who had already added makeup in front of them were a little bad, not only because the gifts they gave to Lan Qiduo were not as good as Princess Liang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but also because Princess Liang did not give such a generous gift when they got married, and they all said that King Liang preferred Xiao Jiu, which was true.

"Mrs. Zhenguo Gongshi has arrived! And add, Wanfu Wanshou inlaid with a pair of pearl and stone emerald flowers, double happiness and double Ruyi inlaid with a pair of pearl and stone emerald flowers, a pair of pomegranate inlaid pearl and stone emerald flowers, a set of clear flowers and lotus pattern tea sets, with a tea tray with clear flowers and lotus patterns, and the same style of tea canisters, teaspoons, tea drains, tea clips, water squares, and tolerances. ”

Mrs. Zhenguo Gongzi is the lord of Lucheng County, Lan Qiduo's eyes lit up when she heard the "clear flowers and branches and pity-patterned tea set", and said to the princess of Zhijun and Princess Liang at hand: "I have always been rare cousin's set of tea sets, but unfortunately it is an out-of-print set, my cousin said that she was unwilling to cut her love, and she never thought that it would be sent today!" ”

The princess of King Liang is Lan Qiduo's companion, her eyebrows are gentle, her tone is playful, this time she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and sneered at Princess Liang: "Mother! Look! I'm a sister-in-law, but even the baby at the bottom of the box has been taken out, and the result is not as good as a **** set of tea sets. ”

She was already able to speak, and at this time, the princess of Zhijun and the old lady of the Tu family were amused, Lan Qiduo was in a good mood today, and said seriously: "It's okay, my eldest nephew will get married in a few years, and I, who is an aunt, will send the tea set back as a gift!" Lan Qiduo rarely joked with everyone like this, because it was rare, and many of the ladies sitting below were amused by her serious tone!

It was in this piece of joy that was mixed with the long voice of the eunuch: "Princess Fu'an has arrived!" And add red sandalwood seat, red sandalwood painting glass five-screen simple makeup two, each with a glass mirror, a pair of gold-dotted emerald beetle hairpins, a pair of white jade hairpins, a pair of jade hairpins, and a pair of Hetian white jade hollow hairpins. ”

Princess Fu'an's gift is not simple, everyone smacked her tongue, Princess Fu'an has already given birth, her waist is a little plump, today is a big day, Lan Qiduo looked at everyone with a smile on her face under the advice of Mama Yun, and said to the seventh princess gently: "Seventh sister, sit down, it's cold outside, don't freeze." ”

The seventh princess sat at the hand of Mrs. Tu without refusal, and after everyone said a few words, they heard a eunuch say: "Please order the women to go to the Qianqing Palace to watch the ceremony." ”

This ceremony is the truth of Daqi, which is to witness the sincerity and loyalty of the horse family to the princess and His Majesty, especially Lan Qiduo is a princess, and the legislation is more rigorous than others. (To be continued.) )
