Chapter Forty-Nine: The Gift of Acceptance
It was a big deal that the regent's marriage went according to plan, so even if the palace was reluctant, it would take Liu Shangyi ten days to dispose of everything.
This Mu Wangfu has really not prepared at all, and you can imagine their attitude towards this marriage, originally Liu Shangyi had no attitude towards the palace, even if there was really something that was not eye-catching, she was the person next to the eldest princess, and she would not express her opinions indiscriminately, but ............
"This banquet Xiaoxiao really doesn't have a long memory at all, does he think this lord is a palace maid in the palace? I dare to offend so blatantly, I really don't know what to do. Yan Qingge put down the embroidery bandage in his hand and said to the Qin family.
"The second lady has been personally taught by Mrs. Ya since she was a child, and she has learned exactly the same as his mother, and she has been rampant and domineering in this mansion for many years, and even the eldest lady has been bullied like that, it can be seen that this person is extremely arrogant, and his eyes are empty, so naturally no one cares about it." Qin Shi recalled what this second young lady had done in five years, and he couldn't raise a good impression of her, and he even sighed when he spoke.
Such an arrogant person, if he knows how to judge the situation and restrain his mind, maybe there is still a way to live, but if he doesn't know how to restrain himself, there is really only one dead end.
It's unfortunate –
In the past ten days, Yan Xiaoxiao has offended Liu Shangyi many times, and it seems that she has successfully made Liu Shangyi pull her into the blacklist.
By the evening of the tenth day, everything was ready, and everyone was relieved.
And the news that Mu Wangfu was ready was soon learned by Murong Yixuan, he had waited for so many days, and finally waited for the day when her dowry could set off again.
This time, of course, it was a thorough courtesy, and no one was picking any gifts.
And so—
Early the next morning
As soon as Yan Jingtian opened his eyes, he heard the last thing he wanted to hear.
"The Lord Regent has arrived!"
Did this ancestor come early in the morning?
Although he was reluctant in his heart, the other party was the regent after all, so he naturally had to be polite, not to mention the events of the day before yesterday, everyone knew why the regent came.
It's a similar scene to a dozen days ago, but this time it's justifiable.
Before coming, Murong Yixuan had already entered the palace to worship his ancestors in the three major halls in accordance with the ritual, and made a special trip to meet the queen mother and the emperor, and returned the matter of the levy, and then came to Mu Wangfu with gifts and gifts.
Mu Wangfu also opened the middle door to greet him, even if he was unwilling in his heart, he had to show sincerity and fear on his face to show respect for the royal family and obedience to Yi's will.
"The old minister see the regent."
"King Mu is polite."
Since Yan Qingge's mother had already passed away, and there was no lady in the house, it was obviously inappropriate to let a concubine come out and show her face for such a big event, so Murong Yixuan asked Duchess Tuo'an to come and preside over the matter.
Mrs. Ya originally wanted to attend the ceremony as an elder, but after Yan Qingge learned about this, she naturally couldn't let her do so.
"This is really not true, how can a concubine sit side by side with the lord in the dispute between the concubines? Isn't it true that she has to make a name for herself? ”
Liu Shangyi also felt that it was very inappropriate, when there were many concubines and wives in this capital compound, but it was really the first time to be stupid to be such a concubine, and everything was strong, but I didn't know that there was still the word etiquette in this world.
"I only have one mother, and although he is now gone, I also hope that my mother can see my family." Yan Qingge stood up and said to Liu Shangyi: "I don't know what other people in the capital are doing?" ”
"In other portals of the capital, it is rare to see a situation like yours, and it is usually the step-lady who comes forward, but there is no lady in your mansion, if there is any relics left by the lady of the first, it should be feasible." Liu Shangyi thought about it and gave a compromise suggestion.
"Relic?" Yan Qingge's eyes lit up and said, "If I have my mother's clothes, can I replace others with clothes?" ”
Liu Shangyi listened, nodded and said: "It's so good, it is ancient to replace people with clothes, and this time is naturally no exception, and I hope that the eldest lady will go to get a piece of the last lady's posthumous clothes, so that the current dilemma can be solved." ”
In this way, Yan Qingge took a set of princess crown clothes left by his mother.
The matter is settled, but for such a major ceremony, a female family member must preside over it.
Wu Shangyi This is a female official of the palace level, but the identity of presiding over this kind of ceremony is obviously not enough, and the person who presides over such ceremonies is generally a world friend, or a top nobleman with a head and a face in the capital.
This matter was directly handed over to Murong Yixuan, and His Royal Highness the Prince Regent was unequivocal and invited the respected Duchess of Anguo to come.
Duchess Anguo is a well-known talented woman in the capital, and she was even more so after marrying into the Duke's mansion of Anguo. The husband and wife are harmonious, and among the eight dukes and ladies in the capital, they are obviously the most popular.
Although his identity is worse than that of King Mu, he is also the top nobleman in the capital.
In the face of such an arrangement, even if the banquet is shocking, there is nothing to be done about it.
It is said that this is not only the meaning of the regent, but also the meaning of the eldest princess.
He can not deal with the regent, but he can't help but give face to the eldest princess.
In the past, the woman did not come forward, and later this was the bride who had to come forward, if the bride was a concubine, the aunt was not allowed to come forward, and if it was a concubine, all the concubines and children in the house were not allowed to come forward.
Therefore, Yan Qingge brought Liu Shangyi and the nurse here, and the seat next to Yan Jingtian was the crown dress of Yan Qingge's biological mother, Princess Mu.
Yan Zhentian didn't know how much he could, but he didn't dare to show it.
In front of the gift display hall that the regent will bring, he will send the gift book.
Under the leadership of Duchess An Guo and Wu Shangyi, Mu Wangfu counted the gifts according to the book of rites, and the most important thing was to point out the wedding geese and four-color gifts, tea, wine, sugar, wedding cakes, and then gold, silver, jade, silver and satin, but the most important thing was the first five, as well as eight special Seiko brocades.
This is unique to the royal family, and these eight brocades are used to cut the bride's first appearance, feast, sacrifice, and the second day of the wedding after marrying into the royal family.
As long as you have all these five important things, the others are secondary.
In accordance with the etiquette, the banquet was also placed in front of the ancestors' spirits to show their satisfaction with the marriage contract, and at the same time the ancestors were sacrificed to inform them of the levy.
At the same time, he wrote the answer by himself, and handed over the prepared return gift to Murong Yixuan to bring back, and the recruitment was completely over.
As soon as this ceremony ended, everyone's hanging hearts finally fell temporarily, and they made trouble for many years, and finally had a result, whether it was a banquet or a shocking banquet, they all felt relaxed.
The date of invitation and welcoming relatives must depend on the date calculated by Qintian, and the queen mother can only act after choosing.
