Chapter 493: The Crown Prince's Concubine
After the chat, Li Zhan took Empress Changsun and Li Shimin to the small building that should be Li Chengqian, but now Li Shimin snatched it into his hands.
As soon as I entered the glass products, the eldest grandson queen, who was used to seeing the world, was a little shocked.
However, Li Shimin told Empress Changsun with a smile that these glass products were actually worthless, and then Li Zhan had begun to study glass products, and Li Zhan's glass mirror was proof.
said that the eldest grandson queen was stunned.
went up to the top floor of the small building, the glazed windows, and the glazed roof, which once again caused the shock of the eldest grandson, and even the little son was almost stunned when he stood here, and hurriedly dragged Li Zhan's clothes, wanting Li Zhan to help him build a house like this.
Of course, Li Zhan readily agreed.
Walking out of the house and coming to the balcony, the night breeze was blowing, but the heart was relaxed.
Li Shimin, Empress Changsun and her little son stayed here for one night, and Li Zhan went back to his home, but Li Shimin and Empress Changsun left very early the next day.
Because Li Shimin wanted to go to the court early, but when he left, Li Zhan went to send it, and the eldest grandson queen hugged Li Zhan and didn't let go, and the maternal love was completely overflowing.
The little son is still asleep, or she wants to stay.
Watching Li Shimin and Empress Changsun's carriage reluctantly leave, Li Zhan smiled at the shadow elder next to him: "This is the love of blood, right...?" ”
Shadow Elder smiled slightly, but did not speak.
............................
Time is like an hourglass, and the time will soon come to the end of the year.
At this time, the Tang Dynasty did not have the Spring Festival, because the Tang Dynasty only had a lunar calendar, and the first day of the New Year was called "New Year's Day", "Yuan Day", "Yuan Zheng" or "New Year's Day". Every year, the government stipulates that "Chinese New Year's Eve is the main holiday", which adds up to a total of 7 days, which is Chinese New Year's Eve and the three days before, and the first day of the new year (that is, the first day), the second day of the new year, and the third day of the new year.
The people of the Tang Dynasty liked to live in large families, and if there were old people with high seniority, then not only the direct children and grandchildren of the old people, but also the younger brothers, nephews, married sisters, and nephews who had already married would get together to celebrate the New Year. Bai Juyi wrote about the scene of the New Year in his own family, and said: "My younger brothers, sisters, wives, nephews, and nephews are coquettish and foolish to help me with joy." ”
When the time comes, the bells and drums on the street are ringing, which is a moment to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. People who "keep the New Year" at home get up one after another, the younger generations salute the elders, the slaves kowtow to their masters, and everyone wants to say some auspicious words for the New Year.
There are not many oral materials of the Tang Dynasty that have been handed down, and according to the documents unearthed in Dunhuang, the auspicious words are roughly "blessing and extending the new day, celebrating longevity without borders".
Men mainly kneel down and prostrate, and the time, frequency, and body posture of prostrations depend on the status of both parties. The formal etiquette of women is called "bowing", and in the early Tang Dynasty, "worshipping" was to kneel on the ground first, and then clench your fists or join your hands in front of your chest, and your body and head also bowed slightly forward, and the range of movements was not large. After Wu Zhou, Tang women's "solemn worship" ceremony was easier than before, no need to kneel on the ground, just stand and bend forward and bow your hand.
Tang Dynasty people are particularly sociable, love to be lively, on the first day of the first month, every household in Chang'an City has a banquet, neighbors greet each other for the New Year, go to whose house to eat whom's house, this also has a special name, called "Chuanza" (so don't eat too much at every meal on this day).
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the people of the Tang Dynasty like to erect a very long bamboo pole in the courtyard, the bottom is buried in the soil, and the top of the pole is hung with a long flag made of paper or cloth, shaking in the cold wind, which is called "flag". Later, this custom spread to the island country and evolved into "carp floating".
And this year's New Year is even more grand, because the prince of the Tang Dynasty will get married before this year's Chinese New Year's Eve, and Li Chenggan's marriage will be on Jiashen Day, but Li Zhan knows that this Jiashen Day is not a good time.
So the strong request has been changed, and only Li Zhan may be able to pry Li Chunfeng's Taishi Bureau with the power of one person, if someone else comes to spray the Taishi Bureau, Li Chunfeng will not kill the other party.
But when Li Zhan said that Jiashenri was not good, at first, Li Chunfeng was also unhappy, and threatened that Jiashenri was very good and would never change, but Li Zhan personally went to the Taishi Bureau to meet him.
According to the internal information of the Taishi Bureau, Li Zhan and Li Chunfeng met at first sight, Li Chunfeng admired Li Zhan very much, and then listened to Li Zhan's opinion to change the day of the prince's wedding.
The two were still in the Taishi Bureau and said a lot of things, but no one knew what the two were talking about, but they only knew that the relationship between Li Zhan and Li Chunfeng had become very close.
............................
During this time, Li Zhan's arrow wound also improved a lot, and Li Zhan often went in and out of the palace to greet Empress Changsun and Li Shimin, and to help Li Chengqian prepare for the big wedding.
You must know that this prince's wedding is very cumbersome, first of all, Lin Xuan's order... Nacai... Ask for a name... Najib... Recruitment... Deadline... Sue Temple... Concubine... Linxuan... Welcome... Same as the prison... See you at the concubine... Will be a minister!
There are fourteen steps in total, and now we have just reached the step of the concubine.
Li Chengqian is going to marry two this time, and the crown princess is the eldest daughter of the secretary Cheng Suyan... The side concubine is the eldest daughter of Hou Junji...!
Why is the crown princess not the eldest daughter of Hou Junji, it's very simple, who made Hou Junji a general, this is a very simple imperial technique, if the crown princess is the eldest daughter of Hou Junji, then the prince must be the Hou family, do you say that the relatives will be powerful?
So the crown princess is Su Yan's eldest daughter...!
However, in order not to feel slighted by the Hou family, Li Zhan came to the Hou family to register Hou Ruixin as a concubine.
In the Hou family, at this time, the father and son of the Hou family are receiving the palace people, you know, this concubine is very particular, the day before, the master set the messenger as usual. The palace was set up in the southwest of the messenger and the east side, and the obstacle was bound.
That day... The envoy is located in the west and east of the gate, and the deputy and the inner attendant are located in the south of the messenger, and the person who holds the book and the seal is in the south, and the messenger is sent to the east. The master is located south and north of the door.
Let the messenger and the master be located outside the inner gate, and the same shall be done. The interior of the book is located in the south and west of the inner gate and the outer master.
The palace keepers are located outside the door, and after the messengers, they all travel to the east, with the north as the top, and the barrier is bound. The two praisers are located in the southeast of the east steps, facing west. In the canon, a case is placed outside the house, and the limit is near.
Make the main and deputy court uniforms, take the chariot and hold the festival, prepare the honor guard, and advocate and prepare but do not do. Outside the gate of the concubine, the messenger descended, and the person in charge extended into the second.
The palace people and so on. The palm is strictly enshrined in the clothes and jewelry, and the inner stable captain enters the car outside the gate to the west, east, and north to the top. The guards led their subordinate concubines to honor as usual.
The messenger is out of the time, the envoy is led below, the festival holder is the leader, and the palace people and the canon are in place, and the festival holder stands in the north of the messenger, retreats less, and is eastward.
The master went out of the court to greet the east outside the gate, and the west side was fixed, and the north side was bowed again. The messenger did not reply.
Before the inner attendant enters the messenger, he receives the canonization treasure on the west side, and he recites and resets the throne in the east side of the canon. Hold the book treasure in the book, stand in the west of the outside of the house, kneel on the east side of the book treasure in the case, prostrate in the book, Xing. The garments and the guards entered, and they all stood on the south side of the canon, and they all went north on the east side.
Step by step... Follow Hou Ruixin to come out to thank you, another set, very long behavior, of course, these actions, behaviors, one step can not be less, and one step can not be wrong.
When everything is done together, you will find that more than an hour has passed, and at this time, when everyone is gone, Li Zhan slowly walked out.
