Yecheng, the Mansion of the Duke of the Kingdom of Xuan is very lively, because the day after tomorrow the Son of Heaven is about to send an envoy to the palace to receive the four daughters of the Duke of the Kingdom of the Kingdom into the palace, and the Mansion of the Kingdom has been preparing for this for half a month.

In the front yard, Chi Shunzheng, the prince of the country, was talking with the little uncle of the Chunguan Mansion, the other party came to connect with the future Guozhang today to take various steps of the wedding, and by the way, to see the preparations of the Guogong Mansion, once there is a mistake, it must be remedied quickly.

The wedding of the Son of Heaven is related to the majesty of the emperor and the face of the court, so it is not allowed to be sloppy, and Prime Minister Wei Chi Dun has repeatedly reiterated that it must be foolproof, so the Chunguan Mansion did not dare to take it lightly, and was busy for a month in order to prepare for the wedding.

Other things are omitted, the day after tomorrow, the Son of Heaven will send a greeting envoy, set out the book like a big car, set off from the palace, arrive at the palace of the kingdom, welcome the bride for the Son of Heaven, and hold a canonization ceremony after entering the palace.

The Son of Heaven travels, and the car is the first, which is called the halo book. It is the highest specification and the largest guard of honor for the emperor when he travels.

The wedding of the Son of Heaven, because of the difference between the monarch and the minister, it is impossible to pick up people at the bride's house in person, so it is necessary to send an envoy to work on his behalf, and put on a big show to pick up the bride, that is, to welcome the future queen into the palace with the highest etiquette.

As soon as this guard of honor is put out, it can be described as mighty, from the palace to the palace of the state of the country, the distance is not far, but the road must be cleared along the way, and after the guard of honor arrives at the gate of the palace of the state of the country, because there are too many people and horses, so how to arrange and schedule is a big problem.

It is not possible to turn around on the spot, there is not such a big open space in front of the Duke of Yuguo, so after receiving the bride, you have to continue to move forward, so the route naturally has to be planned.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the wedding, the officials of the Chun Guan Mansion will inevitably intervene in the management of the Gong Mansion, in order to facilitate the arrangement of various matters, but the mixing of personnel will inevitably bring security problems.

Not to mention that the three daughters of the Duke of Yu and the princess of Xiyang now live in the mansion, and there are guards of the Xiyang Palace, how to properly arrange the personnel of all parties to ensure that there are no mistakes on the wedding day is a heartbreaking problem.

Wei Chi Shun looks very good today, after he finished his filial piety, after diet conditioning, his complexion returned to normal, and the little girl Wei Chi Mingyue is about to get married, and when he is a father, he finally saves a worry, so he is naturally in a good mood.

After taking the thick volume of "Precautions" handed over by Uncle Xiaozong, Wei Chishun just looked at it and felt a little pain in his head: all kinds of red tape are much more cumbersome than when the third female lieutenant Chi Chifan married Gongyu Wenwen of Xiyang County.

In the backyard, the maids in the boudoir were busy going in and out, and Yu Chi Mingyue, who was about to become the queen, almost became a clothes rack, and several maids surrounded her, changing the girl's clothes according to the command of the Duchess of the State of Yu, Wang.

The big wedding is coming, of course, the wedding dress has to be tried again, not only the wedding dress, but also the queen's robe, because according to the Great Zhou ritual system, the queen's dress has twelve grades, and different clothes are worn on different occasions, and each dress has to fit, so they all have to be tried one by one.

Last year, the Son of Heaven was about to get married, and as the bride, Wei Chi Mingyue already had a full set of new clothes, but the marriage was interrupted by a sudden funeral and caused a delay of a year.

Even if it is not for this reason, the original clothes can no longer be used, first of all, this is unlucky, and secondly, it would be too embarrassing if the Mansion of the Kingdom of Xuan could not even prepare the regular clothes of his daughter after entering the palace.

According to the ritual system, the queen's clothes have twelve, of which there are six Zhai clothes, and when the emperor worships the Taimiao Temple and the ancestors of the past dynasties, he wears the clothes; When the court sees the inner and outer women, they wear clothes; Sacrifice to the group, receive cocoons, and wear clothes.

When presiding over mulberry picking, wear a yellow garment; to meet the guests with the emperor, wearing a white robe; When entertaining foreign women or returning to Ning in the palace, they wear dark colored mustaches. These clothes are all marked with Hui Zhai as the collar label.

All year round, spring Qi and sacrifices are returned, wearing green clothes; Xia Qi and the sacrifice were returned, wearing red clothes; Cai Sangqi and Cai Sang, wearing yellow clothes; Autumn Qi and sacrifice returns, wearing plain clothes; Winter Qi and sacrifice returns, then Xuanyi, from Tsing Yi down, its collar label to the color of each other.

Yu Chi Mingyueyue was confused when she listened to the introduction, not to mention trying them on one by one, turning around a few times for her mother to take a closer look, and quickly took it off after it was no problem, and then put on another one.

It's not enough to just wear clothes, you have to match the corresponding jewelry, the queen's jewelry has many patterns and specifications, and the applicable occasions are also different.

The room was not small, but after there were more people, it seemed cramped, Yu Chi Mingyue, who was surrounded by everyone, only felt that she was being stripped like a zongzi, and Princess Wei Chi Chi Fan of Xiyang saw that her sister looked loveless, and hurriedly came out to save the scene.

"Mother, Siniang seems to be tired, why don't you slow down first?"

Hearing this, Wang looked at his little daughter, then came back to his senses and quickly asked the maids to stop first, and ordered someone to bring soup to Yu Chi Mingyue to quench his thirst, and then the old tune came up again: "Siniang, you listen to what Wei Niang said..."

It's that set again, Wei Chi Mingyue has been listening to her mother's nagging since half a month ago, and she has listened to it for a long time last year, and it is "If you are a wife, you can't play a little temper", "The Son of Heaven is the king, you are a minister, if you are wronged, you can't talk back, let alone talk nonsense by relying on your family status" Yunyun.

Yu Chi Mingyue drank the soup and nodded from time to time to show that she knew, in fact, what she wanted most now was to lie down and rest for a while, because the fitting had been tossed for more than an hour, but there was no sign of the end.

It's not that she doesn't dislike clothes and jewelry, after all, it's a woman's nature to love beauty, but now that the big wedding is imminent, when she thinks of what will happen that night after entering the palace, Yu Chi Mingyue's heart is like a deer.

With the book that my sister brought last year, and my mother asked the maid to demonstrate the relevant movements and postures on the spot, Yu Chi Mingyue probably knows about the affairs of men and women, but after all, she has not actually experienced it, so the most tangled thing at this time is what to do on the first night of entering the palace, not what clothes do not fit.

Wang suddenly remembered that there were a few things that he didn't explain and turned outside the room, Yu Chi Mingyue saw the maids and female officials inspecting the robes and jewelry outside, and there was no one else around except her sister, and suddenly asked in a low voice:

"Sister."

"What?"

"That kind of thing... Will it hurt? ”

"Uh... It's okay... You don't have to think nonsense, it hurts a little, just get used to it..."

Yu Chi Chi has been married to Yu Wenwen for many years, and now she is a mother of two children, she will not blush inexplicably when she talks about this kind of topic, she is also a person from the past, so she can understand her sister's mood, so she can answer more "to the point".

"When you enter the palace, it will not be so convenient to meet your family in the future, in case you encounter any grievances, don't always think about the worst, and it will pass slowly." Speaking of which, Wei Chi Chifan felt a little empathy, and was afraid that his sister would not be able to figure it out, so he reminded:

"Sooner or later, men will take concubines, and the Son of Heaven will also have concubines, this is inevitable, don't you think about it, you can't stop it anyway, right?"
