Concubine Li's gaffe, Ci'an noticed it, she glanced at Concubine Li, although she felt a little strange in her heart, she didn't think of anything else, and continued: "However, no matter how much or how little 'he's 'Nine Rites' is, in fact, not a single copper plate can fall into our own hands. These camels, horses, and horses are all under the collection of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and they are 'divided into offices' - for us, no matter how many gifts there are, it is just a lively one. ”

Concubine Li smiled: "I'm not greedy. People always say, 'The family of the Son of Heaven is related to the country', and this rule set by the ancestors should be shared. ”

Ci'an nodded appreciatively: "You are sensible! ”

Yan smiled and said, "However, the dowry we prepared for the two children of Li Niuer and Dun Niu'er has to be sent to someone's Efu Mansion - not the Princess Mansion." In this way, we still suffer a loss! ”

Concubine Li knew that the Queen Mother was joking, and echoed and smiled: "This is the consideration of the top." The Empress Dowager Fang just said, Daoguang Ye canceled the old practice of 'camel one and horse eight' of 'letting go of Xiaoding', isn't it because some foreheads are not very rich at home? It's ...... to do that."

Speaking of this, he smiled lightly and said, "The old man subsidizes his son-in-law, right?" ”

Ci'an shook his head slightly and said, "Whether it counts as a 'subsidy' or not, I can't say it." 'Putting a small determination' is actually nothing, and 'magnifying the determination' - what is it called 'Ninety-nine Rites' - is powerful! And I thought, well, eighteen saddle horses, eighteen pairs of armor, twenty-one horses—horses without bridles, and gifts—six camels, besides. And also...... Well. Ninety banquet tables, eighty-one sheep, and forty-five bottles of milk wine and rice wine. You see. People who are a little less powerful may not be able to take it! Alas, marrying a princess—oh, 'Lord Shang', is not an easy task! ”

Concubine Li gasped lightly, thought for a while, and asked tentatively, "May I ask the Queen Mother, this rule." It was before the Daoguang Dynasty...... What about the old example? Or ......"

"Your mind is spinning fast," Ci'an nodded, "it's the old practice before the Daoguang Dynasty. Daoguang Ye, even the 'camel one and horse eight' of the 'One Nine Rites' feel too luxurious, not to mention that this 'Ninety-nine Rites' is several times that of the 'Nineteen Rites'? simply waved the pen and canceled the entire 'Ninety-Nine Ceremony'! ”

Concubine Li let out an "oh" with a complicated meaning.

"However, just like the old practice of reinstating the '19 Rites', Bao Jun also asked them to restore the '99 Rites'. The reason is the same, and it is not said that it is 'for eternity' or anything. ”

Concubine Li's heart. I put it down first, and then I lifted it up slightly. Of course, she hopes that her daughter will marry beautifully, but this time, she is really "distressed" for Guan Zhuofan.

"This 'Ninety-Nine Ceremony' is already enough, and 'he' has to prepare two copies of the same one, which is a bit ......"

"yes!" Ci'an frowned slightly, "At that time, I was also quite hesitant. However, the 'West Side' was very excited, and at first he said yes, and then he turned to me and asked, 'What do you see, sister?' 'Look—what else can I say?' Naturally, I could only echo her. ”

After a pause, he continued: "You don't have to worry too much, though. I think 'he' still has the power. Do you think, what kind of diamond bracelets, sapphire rings, emerald earrings, which one of the jewels that 'he' gave to the palace, and I told you to transfer them to Liniuer? Some...... It's about more than that, and if you take it outside, maybe it will cost tens of thousands of silver for one piece! I think that taking out one piece at random will be enough to 'put' this 'big set'. ”

“…… Be. ”

"I'm a little messed up, it's not so early to 'amplify the determination', it's the day of the 'surrender', let's talk about the 'small determination' first." The next day, the emperor wants to give a banquet and his people, this feast is placed in the Zhonghe Hall and the Baohe Palace, the pomp is very large, but ......"

After a pause, he continued: "Guan Zhuofan's family, the direct relatives, are already thin, and I heard that there is little contact with each other, when the time comes, who will receive this feast?" For example, his second brother, who is not a weapon, will he come over or not? ”

The story of Guan Zhuofan and his second brother is very famous, and Concubine Li in the deep palace also knows it. However, the queen mother's question about the queen mother, she naturally has nothing to say, so she can only laugh on the side.

Of course, Ci'an just "asked" by herself, and didn't need Concubine Li to answer anything, so she was slightly stunned for a while, and said: "The dowries of the two princesses should be sent to the Efu Mansion the day before the 'surrender', and the Egu will lead the clansmen to kneel outside the Qianqing Gate to receive them...... Trivial. ”

"The next day, it's 'surrender'. In the morning of the same day, the 'enlarged ding', and the same as the 'small ding', the forehead himself personally sent it to the noon gate, and the palace received the things, and gave another banquet. This time, the banquet is higher than the one that 'let go of Xiaoding', the emperor gave a banquet in the Taihe Palace, and I and the two queen mothers of the 'West' also gave a banquet, and the venue was in Cining Palace. ”

"After this round, the auspicious time has arrived. The princess put on a lot of makeup and auspicious clothes, and saluted the queen mother, the emperor and the concubines in turn. The night before, Li Niuer stayed in Zhongcui Palace, and on the day of 'surrender', she went out from me, first went to Changchun Palace, kowtowed to the west, and then said goodbye to the emperor - this is all in Changchun Palace, and finally returned to Yonghe Palace, kowtow to you, you ...... Do you understand? ”

Concubine Li said in a low voice: "Yes, the concubine understands. This is the queen mother's love for Liniuer, a concubine...... Thanksgiving. ”

went out from Yonghe Palace, just the daughter of Concubine Li; When she went out of Zhongcui Palace, she was not only the daughter of Concubine Li, but also the daughter of the Queen Mother, and first of all, the daughter of the Queen Mother. is also Princess Gulun, the former is "concubine", but the latter is "concubine", the difference between the two is so big that it can hardly be calculated.

Therefore, this is indeed Ci'an's "love" for Princess Rong'an, and Concubine Li's gratitude is from the bottom of her heart.

"It's the same with Tun Niu'er. She had to live in Changchun Palace one day in advance, and on the day of 'surrender', she would go out from Changchun Palace. It's just that the day's banquet is over, and the emperor doesn't go back to Changchun Palace, but comes out of Cining Palace, goes directly to Zhongcui Palace, and waits for me. ”

Concubine Li was slightly stunned, and then understood: the object of the princess's resignation, the queen mother of the two palaces first, the little emperor last, if the little emperor returns to Changchun Palace, he will rush in front of the queen mother and the queen mother to accept the resignation of Princess Dunrou, which is "incompatible with etiquette".

She thought to herself: Rong An and Miss Dunrou, early in the morning, dressed around the palace like this, will they take a picture if they are not careful? Uh, like...... It's embarrassing.

Thinking of this, she found that the Queen Mother had said such a big article, but she had not yet touched on the most core and important issue:

Who's first, who's last?
