Chapter 137
The crown prince is about to accept a concubine, and he will be greeted in person according to the ancient rites. The crown prince greeted him in person, this is a rare event, and it is worth looking forward to. It was still early before the official day, and the Beijing Shishu was already stretching their necks, waiting to watch this grand ceremony. On the day of the welcome, the crown prince will drive out of the palace from the East Chang'an Gate, and after welcoming back the crown princess, he will also return to the palace from the East Chang'an Gate. The situation in the East Chang'an Gate, whether the people or the officials, are not to see, can only see the East Chang'an Gate to the Jiuning Street section of the lively, this road but there are more than two floors of high-rise people or teahouses, restaurants, are set early, waiting to welcome the day to watch the ceremony.
On a high-rise building facing the street, near the window, a middle-aged man and a little girl about 10 years old stood by the window, inspecting the terrain in advance. The little girl around the age of ten was already very interested in the wedding, not to mention the wedding of the crown prince, she was even more enthusiastic. The middle-aged man is her father, who has always doted on his little daughter, and when he saw her excited eyes, he couldn't bear to let her down, so he took her upstairs and let her stand in front of the window to feel it.
"The crown prince welcomes you, will you ride a horse?" The little girl asked with a look of longing.
Her brother and cousins got married, and they all rode horses to welcome the bride.
"No, it won't." The middle-aged man smiled, "He wants to wear a crown dress, a very grand dress, it is impossible to ride a horse." On this section of the road that we can see, he will take a chariot, that is, the big car that the emperor and the prince ride. ”
"So we can't see him anymore?" The little girl looked disappointed. How many years can I see the prince greet him once, but I can't even see what the crown prince is like on this day, how boring it is.
"I can't see it." The middle-aged man said with certainty.
Seeing the disappointment on her youngest daughter's face, the middle-aged man comforted her kindly, "An'er, you just imagine the prince to be beautiful, no matter how you imagine it, it's not too much." The prince has outstanding appearance and is a beautiful man in the wind of Yushu. The little girl was a little happy, and said happily: "I know that I know, Dad, I have seen him once, he is really good-looking!" It's a little better than my brother and cousin! ”
The middle-aged man smiled silently.
The little girl said affectionately: "It's a pity that we don't have much friendship with the Pei family, so we can't go to the Pei family to see the excitement." Dad, the ancient rites have the gift of the royal wheel, right? Is the prince going to drive a carriage for his bride? ”
In the ancient etiquette, on the day of greeting, the groom should hand the bride the rope used to get on the car, "Zhisui", and personally drive the carriage for the bride, "three weeks of royal wheel". Then he could go back to his carriage and ride to the gate of his house to wait for his bride.
"No, it won't." The middle-aged man said no words to his youngest daughter again, and he was a little apologetic, "The rules set by Emperor Gao, the crown princess takes a phoenix sedan chair, and when the crown prince greets her, just open the sedan curtain for her." "Unveiling the sedan curtain is much lighter than Zhisui and Yulun, and Emperor Gao is still very eager for his own descendants.
"Open the sedan curtain, it's not bad!" The little girl tilted her head and thought about it, and smiled happily. The crown prince unveiled the sedan curtain for his bride, which is also quite interesting!
But it's a pity I can't see it. After being happy, he shook his head and sighed.
"When it's the right day, Dad will take you to see it." The middle-aged man took the little girl downstairs, and the little girl followed him obediently, with a dreamy smile on her face, "That Miss Nine of the Pei family is really blessed." "I'm going to marry the prince, I'm still a good-looking prince, I really envy the dead.
The middle-aged man smiled and didn't speak. In fact, being a princess is not necessarily a blessing, since ancient times, it has been difficult for the prince to do, and it is not easy for the princess. However, His Majesty has only deposed a prince, and he is old, maybe the new prince and the princess will be smooth, or maybe.
The crown prince is about to greet him, and the people of the capital are gearing up to watch the excitement, but the parents of the crown prince and the crown princess are busy educating their respective women before marriage. There is a lot of premarital education, most of which is about how couples get along, and of course, there will be sweet and slightly awkward topics about how to spend the wedding night.
The Pei family, in addition to being guided by grandmother, aunt, mother, third aunt, and six sisters-in-law in turn to guide the way of getting along with husband and wife, was often carried over by grandfathers and fathers, telling her what kind of temperament the emperor was, what kind of decisions the emperor had made and what kind of words he had said before, and now. Knowing what they meant, he listened with a smile and wrote them down one by one. Grandfather and father must have thought that the prince was very affectionate and didn't need to worry, but Empress Zhang was disgusted and didn't need to please - no matter how much it was, it couldn't be better, and there was no need to work in vain. There is only the emperor, and it takes a lot of effort.
It can't be said that the men of the Pei family think wrongly, and the situation they are facing is indeed like this: the prince has always been in love with her, accommodating her and conniving at her since she was a child, while Queen Zhang disliked and disgusted her from the first time she saw her. There are two mothers and sons, one is too good and the other is too bad, so they don't need to think about it deliberately. The highest status in the palace is the emperor, and it is the most important thing to win the emperor's favor.
However, Pei Ge Lao and his sons didn't expect that they were trying to please the emperor here, but the emperor began to think: What do you like? Stone is it. Cheng, if you encounter a strange stone or something in the future, you have to leave it. What else do you like? I don't know what to do, so I turned around and knocked on the side to ask Xiao Shi, or asked Pei Kai.
The daughter-in-law has not yet married, and the emperor is already planning to spoil her.
The emperor thought about it seriously, "Ninety-five, do you need to please your daughter-in-law to keep your son?" ”
The answer is: no.
"If Xiao Shi is tired of not coming out of Ciqing Palace after accepting a concubine, will I mind?"
The answer is: not too much.
Although the answer is no, I don't mind too much, but the emperor is a magnanimous father, he thought about it again and again, and decided to be more accommodating and indulgent to the crown princess, so as not to make his little ten uncomfortable, "The queen is like that to him, and Xiao Shi is already pitiful enough." I'm a father, and I can't say anything to trouble Xiao Shi. ”
A few days ago, the prince greeted the prince in person, she specially ordered the female official to call the prince, "Xiao Shi, there has been no one to serve in your room, and now you are getting married, and your mother will give you the name of the palace maid." The color of this palace maid is excellent, it can be called the color of the country, and the elegance is peerless, you will definitely be able to match. "Queen Zhang ordered someone to call the palace maid out to meet the prince, the palace maid knelt in front of the prince and kowtowed, her waist was very soft, and her posture was like a dance when she bowed, which was very beautiful. Queen Zhang and the palace maid are full of confidence, such a posture, such a gentle and graceful, how can a man not like it? Impossible.
The prince glanced down at her and politely excused himself, "Thank you for the kindness of the queen mother, my son understands." The father ordered the son to go to the secret hall to watch the Buddha of Joy, and the son did not dare to disobey the holy order. ”
The premarital education of the prince is to go to the secret hall to watch the Buddha of Joy, and the ceremonial official will press the organ to explain in detail, rather than accepting palace maids.
Empress Zhang's kindness was rejected by the prince, and she felt very uncomfortable, "This woman was carefully selected by her mother, not only beautiful, but also gentle and obedient. The prince bowed politely, "Thank you, I understand." Seeing that he was extremely cold, Empress Zhang endured a breath and ordered him to retreat.
The palace maid who was lying on the ground saw the prince turn around and leave, and she didn't look at her, she was ashamed and angry, and her eyes were red. Queen Zhang was already not angry, but when she saw her like this, she was even more impatient, "Take it down!" "It's useless, and there is a grievance?
The palace maid was taken down by the chamberlain. Empress Zhang sat alone, stunned. Xiao Shi is going to accept a concubine, and he wants to accept the Pei family girl who he has always looked down on as a concubine, he has always been estranged from himself these days, and after accepting a concubine, will he get even worse, right? carefully selected a beautiful palace maid for him, he didn't want to refuse, Xiao Shi, my mother didn't want to put someone in Ciqing Palace, but she just cared for you, and you didn't appreciate it?
The emperor has long ignored himself, Xiao Shi is not intimate, and the girl of the Pei family is not docile, and it is estimated that it is difficult for her to be filial to her mother-in-law - Empress Zhang remembered the situation that the crown princess Pei would face after entering the palace, and she was extremely troubled.
When the prince watched the Buddha of Joy in the secret hall, he was also receiving a similar education. Lin Youhui personally took a book of exquisite pictures to her, "Nannan, do you read it yourself, or will your mother tell you about it?" Although Lin Youhui has always been down-to-earth and generous, if he really wants to tell this, he blushed unconsciously. took it and flipped it over, "Mother, this doesn't look too difficult, I'll see it myself." Ms. Fan and Ms. Cai gave me a copy yesterday, and it looked a little difficult, so I asked them to find another easy one. ”
Flipping through the atlas with relish, "The painting is very exquisite." Lin Youhui stared blankly for a moment and fled.
"My daughter doesn't know how to be shy, what should I do?" Lin Youhui returned to the room in one breath, grabbed Pei Erye's hand, and asked helplessly.
"Don't be too shy." Pei Erye didn't know why, and said softly: "Lady, it's actually good to be a little shy." ”
But he wasn't even a little shy, Lin Youhui lamented in his heart-
On the day when the crown prince greeted him personally, the emperor got up early in the morning. The chamberlain put on a dragon robe for him, put on a crown of heaven, and the emperor looked in the mirror, only to see his big belly in the mirror, and his clothes were solemn, "Blessing, the appearance of the Son of Heaven." The emperor was very satisfied with his dignity, looked in the mirror, and commanded in high spirits, "Swing the Heavenly Palace!" ”
In the Fengtian Palace, hundreds of officials gathered. Today is the great day for the crown prince to welcome the crown princess, before the personal welcome, the emperor will be in Xuan Jiao, and after the crown prince receives the Jiao ring, he will go out of the palace to marry his crown princess.
The emperor drove the Fengtian Palace, the teaching workshop was musical, the brocade guards were guarded, and the civil and military officials arranged their shifts in order, dressed in full costumes, and the atmosphere was solemn. The emperor married his daughter-in-law today, and he was in a good mood, and there was a smile on his fat face, which was usually very serious, from time to time, "I really want to laugh out loud." "The emperor wants to maintain the dignity of his son of heaven, no matter how happy he is, he has to endure it, and he feels quite hard.
Yale stopped, and the crown prince, dressed in a crown and led by the chamberlain, came in through the left door. The emperor sat high on the throne, looking at the little ten he was dressed, and how much satisfaction was in his eyes. Finally grow up and marry a daughter-in-law, Xiao Shi, you will be an adult in the future. Dad wants to treat you as an adult, and you have to look like an adult, don't lose your child's temper again.
The crown prince held Yugui in both hands and knelt in front of the emperor.
The emperor's face was solemn, "Go to Ying'er, inherit my affairs, and be handsome and respectful." ”
The crown prince respectfully agreed, "The minister respectfully accepts the order." ”——
Of course you're ordered, you can't wait for it, aren't you, Little Ten? The Emperor smiled.
At the same time that the crown prince was ordained, those who had already received the golden book and were registered as the crown princess were also ordained in the Pei family. She got up early in the morning, dressed in Yanju clothes, followed her grandparents, parents, and elders to salute, drink, and read blessings in front of the ancestral shrine, returned to the main hall, and worshiped the elders one by one.
The crown princess's Jiao ceremony was presided over by the senior female officials in the palace, and when and what to do was prescribed, just follow their guidance like a puppet. In front of Pei Erye and Lin Youhui, he solemnly bowed four times, and Pei Erye gently explained, "Go to the interior, be diligent and cautious all night, and filial piety is not violated." Lin Youhui held back his tears and commanded softly, "Father Er's training, you should be respectful." "I've always been hip-hop and hip-hop, but at this time, I was also sad, and I bowed respectfully," I respectfully accept the order. ”
was led out by the female officer, went back to the room to change clothes, and waited for the kiss.
She was wearing a green silk embroidered robe, luxurious and solemn. Wearing a crown of nine feathers and four phoenixes, nine trees with large flowers, nine trees with small flowers, nine treasures, and four golden phoenixes, it is bright and gorgeous. On his feet, he wore green Luo socks, green silk and six round and soft pearls.
This is the dress of the crown princess.
The eldest nephew, Brother Xiao'er, was very clever, and actually slipped in to avoid the female officials, "Auntie! He exclaimed.
Hurriedly pulled him over, "Brother Xiao, why did you come here?" Does your father know the way, does your mother know the way? Brother Xiao was triumphant, "Dad and uncles don't know what they're discussing, so they can't take care of me." My mother can't take care of me, my great-grandmother's eyes are fascinated by the sand, and my mother, grandmothers, and aunts are rubbing my great-grandmother's eyes. ”
I want to cry.
Grandmother's eyes were fascinated by the sand, and she was obviously reluctant to let me go.
Holding back her tears, she quietly told Brother Xiao'er, "You go and tell your great-grandmother that your aunt will definitely take care of her, so don't worry about it." Brother Xiao was very obedient, "Auntie, I will definitely bring the words." I promised, and ran away happily.
Lady Fan hurriedly walked in, her face displeased, "You arranged, I want to meet my grandmother and mother." Lady Fan smiled with a smile on her face, "Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, this can't be done, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already arrived!" ”
