Strictly speaking, it is difficult for Li Yuanjia to say clearly, whether the ancient wedding process is more cumbersome, or the future modern wedding is more complicated.

After all, he has been a single dog for both his lives and has never been married.

But there is one thing Li Yuanjia can be sure of, that is, as the Prince of the Tang Dynasty and one of the most noble people in the world, his wedding "procedure" is clearly written in the "Five Rites", that is, the "Jiali" chapter of "The New Rites of the Tang Dynasty".

First of all, the first one is to be the right person.

It's just a matter of marrying a concubine or something, relatively speaking, it's much more relaxed, but if you want to marry a wife, that is, the main room, then the identity requirements for both men and women are strict. Black and white, all in the provisions of the law, once violated, it will be severely punished! Especially for royals like Li Yuanjia, they don't dare to have the extravagant idea of being the master of their own house!

As for the wedding process, the rules are also quite strict.

The most famous is naturally the Three Books and Six Rites, the six rites are Nacai, Asking for Names, Najib, Nazheng, Invitation, and Welcome; The three books are the three types of documents used in the process of the six rites: the letter of appointment, the letter of ceremony, and the letter of welcome. The first five items of the six rites must have been completed a long time ago, and almost every item made Li Yuanjia a good toss, and the last one of them included more than a dozen contents, each of which had strict regulations......

So if you want to have some stir-fry at the wedding, change to new wine or something, but if you want to make some other moths, then be prepared to be cleaned up by the emperor's second brother.

Of course, King Han's wedding was originally prepared by Zongzheng Mansion, and it was not Li Yuanjia's turn to speak.

So in the last few days, Li Yuanjia was like a wooden man, at the mercy of others. It wasn't until the afternoon of May 16 that the busyness of the Han Wangfu finally reached its peak......

……

May 16, overcast.

From the sound of drums on the Chengtian Gate in the early morning, the entire Han Wangfu became lively.

The three small doors were all opened, and countless meat, vegetables and vegetables entered Chang'an from the Chunming Gate and were sent to the palace of King Han. And the maids and maids in the palace also all changed into new clothes, and they were busy with joy, and there was a lively scene everywhere. As for the people sent by Zongzheng's Mansion, as well as Li Yuanjia's uncle Yu Wenshi and the people sent to help, they also entered the palace early in the morning and got busy with their subordinates.

As for today's actor Li Yuanjia, he has become the only one who is idle.

Because he really didn't want to see the chaos everywhere at home, Li Yuanjia stayed in his study all morning. The others did their own duties, but no one bothered him, and it was not until after lunch and a short rest that the official of the Zongzheng Mansion who was in charge of today's wedding knocked on the door of the study.

"Your Majesty, it's time to change your clothes."

After the door opened, someone had already stepped forward with the groom's clothes and respectfully asked Li Yuanjia to change his clothes.

"Huh? Is it time so soon? ”

Looking at the sky outside, Li Yuanjia asked with a bit of a daze.

"Yes, my lord, it's almost time."

"Shen Shi ......"

Although it has been going through for several years, after hearing the other party's words, Li Yuanjia still subconsciously converted, and then nodded-It's already more than two o'clock in the afternoon?

got up and stretched, Li Yuanjia casually opened his arms.

Although there is still a period of time before dusk, and the Han Wangfu is really not far from the Liang Guogong Mansion, when the groom always has to prepare in advance, right?

The weddings of the Tang Dynasty are all held at dusk.

Li Yuanjia also studied it and learned that marriage means faint, and the reason why women marry at dusk is because of the popular marriage robbery in ancient times. And the last step of the three books and six rituals is basically carried out in the following period of time......

Seeing that the king had already put on a pose, Chunyan and Liu Mei hurriedly stepped forward to dress him.

The auspicious clothes used for weddings are much more gorgeous than the clothes of ordinary princes, but they are also much more difficult to wear. So after spending a lot of effort to put on Li Yuanjia's clothes, Chunyan and the others hurriedly busily powdered his face and put flowers on his head......

During the whole process, Li Yuanjia closed his eyes tightly.

He really didn't dare to open his eyes to look at himself, he didn't dare to look at the thick white powder on his face, he didn't dare to look at the delicate flowers on his head, and of course he didn't dare to look at his big red robe!

Because of this red robe, Li Yuanjia was already full of resentment.

You said that a good old man, when you get married, you not only have to put powder on your face, you have to wear flowers on your head, and you have to wear red clothes, isn't this disgusting?

The first time he put on a full set of equipment, Li Yuanjia almost threw up.

And......

What made his chest even more valve was not that he was wearing this bright red, but that of the bride's clothes. I thought that the bride should be the phoenix crown and xia veil in her memory, with a red hijab or something, but I didn't think about it and asked by chance to know that Fang Fengzhu was going to wear a green dress on the wedding day - that color Li Yuanjia had seen and said that it was cyan, but it was actually a little greener.

As a historical illiterate, of course Li Yuanjia didn't know that it was after the Ming Dynasty that women married and wore red clothes.

Sister's!

After a lot of effort to get dressed neatly, he couldn't bear not to think about himself, and when the officials in charge of today's affairs from the Zongzheng Mansion arrived, Li Yuanjia took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go......"

First of all, the first item is naturally to worship the ancestors and tell them the news that they are going to get married, and then Li Yuanjia rode a high-headed horse with a docile personality and took a large number of people to Shengyefang - although he has no friends in Chang'an, but the prince's respect naturally has no shortage of concubines, and they are all deliberately selected poetry elites.

After all, after arriving at the bride's house, there are still a series of harsh tests waiting for the groom and the bridesmaids!

The son-in-law is the procedure for the woman's relatives and friends to make things difficult for the groom, and the people of the Tang Dynasty are very happy, and there is even a record of the groom playing to death in the Tang book; Urging makeup, the groom arrives in the hall and urges the bride out of the rubbing process; Saddle and laying geese, representative links of traditional marriage customs influenced by the Hu people; Covering the knees, the bride's parents told their daughter, and at the same time covered her face with something - only not the red hijab later; After the bride gets into the car, the groom rides around three times and prepares to set off; Obstacles, the bride's relatives and friends stopped the car and did not let it go, let them compose poems or give money; Next, after arriving at the palace of the king of Han, there are also transfer seats, brides, worship halls, tents, fans, and close together. Go to the flowers, easy to serve, etc......

Li Yuanjia easily got through the links that were extremely headaches for many grooms.

As soon as Li Yuanjiagui was the prince, few dared to use the moves on other grooms, but few dared to do this to him; Second, Fang Xuanling is a square person, and he doesn't like to mess around the most, so the Fang family's favorite house widow doesn't dare to toss. As for the favorite thing of the Tang people, the hypnotic poems, obstacle poems, obstacle poems, fan poems, stripping poems, flower poems, curtain poems, etc., are all made by the prime ministers, and Li Yuanjia doesn't need to spend any thoughts.

Smoothly, he entered the cave room.

When everyone withdrew from the Qinglu and lowered the curtain, looking at the shy, but unusually delicate Fang Fengzhu beside the bed, Li Yuanjia's eyes flickered, and his emotions were tangled and complicated......
