Chapter 585: Xixia Marries the Princess (II)

Well, Xia Chongzong Li Qianshun's reprimand for himself made Lotte reflect on himself in his heart, he was really a scourge to the Western Xia, not only the Western Xia who led the army to the scourge lost his troops, but this time even the two princes of the Western Xia also let themselves be crooked, and I don't know how much dowry Li Qianshun will accompany this time......

But...... Keep it up! Lotte is not ashamed, but proud.

Seeing this, an official of the Western Xia Rite Department who was in charge of etiquette hurriedly came out to play a round and announce the next ceremony.

The content of the next ceremony was very formal, Lotte respectfully presented the letter of welcome, Li Gan nodded after handing it over to the little eunuch, and did not add any more obstacles to Lotte.

After the letter of welcoming relatives was presented, the three books and six rituals used by the ancients to marry were all completed. After the procedure was completed, under the guidance of the little chamberlain, a group of people surrounded Lotte and walked to the depths of the forbidden palace of the Western Xia Inner Palace, and soon came to the residence of Princess Lando, but was stopped by several little palace maids.

Puzzled and then suddenly realized, Lotte reached out and took out a few ingots of silver from his arms and stuffed them with a few palace maids who blocked the way, and continued to go to the princess's bedroom, but was still blocked by the palace maid, Lotte was puzzled: "This happy money has passed with you, why block Le's way?" ”

"Thank you, Master Pony!" The palace maid of Naxi Xia also knew Chinese, but after thanking her, she complained: "Master Ma doesn't know anything, so he should make a nosmetic poem at this time!" ”

So that's it...... Lotte suddenly.

At this time, another little palace maid next to him said: "It is said that the master of the horse is the first genius of the Southern Dynasty, and the poetry and song are unmatched. ”

Lotte nodded and said, "Okay, Le will make a good song to see if your princess is satisfied!" ”

The little palace maid is very clever: "The master of the horse said that he should be punished for his mistake, and the princess of my family is now from the master of the horse!" ”

"It's Le's gaffe!" Lotte smiled, then thought about it from the memory of the previous life, and read a hypnotic poem: "The joy is full of joy, the light moves Qiluo Xiangmo, the crape myrtle is under the flowers, and the body is an extraordinary guest." There is no need to be naΓ―ve, afraid of being too red and white. Leave the shallow place of Dai Mei, and draw a total of spring and color. ”

After speaking, Lotte looked at the little palace maid and said, "Have you ever written it down, if you write it down, I will read it to Her Royal Highness the princess to see if Her Royal Highness the princess is satisfied." ”

The little palace maid answered, hurriedly wrote it down with a piece of paper, and walked towards the inner hall.

At this moment, Lotte suddenly shuddered, and he was careless for a while, the hypnotic poem he read was originally the same as himself as the head of the Wuxu Kejinshi, the hypnotic poem made by Wang Ang, the champion of the dynasty and the eight-year champion, this hypnotic poem can be said to be Wang Ang's masterpiece, but he was copied by himself in a daze, if Wang Ang also made this poem at this time, how should he be good.

However, Lotte thought about it again, he had not heard of this poem when he was in Biandu, and he thought that Wang Ang had not composed this poem at this time. Go the way of others and leave others with no way out.

Pity the Northern Song Dynasty Zheng and Wang Ang, the champion of the Wuxu Branch in the eighth year, left one of the few shining points in history, one champion Lang was given by Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, and the other was this hypnotic poem, which was unintentionally plagiarized by Lotte.

Obviously, Princess Landau was very satisfied with this hypnotic poem, and the palace maids who blocked the way got out of the way.

The sturdy servant who served as the bride in the palace slowly walked out of the boudoir of the palace with Princess Lando, who was wearing an embroidered long-tailed pheasant, light red sleeves and a wedding dress, and a crown of nine feathers and four phoenixes on her head and a hijab on the outside. Although Princess Lando's head is covered with a hijab, it is translucent, and Lotte can vaguely see the outline of Princess Lando's face.

This is the custom of ancient weddings, and the bride must not touch the ground before she has stepped into her husband's house, otherwise it is considered unlucky. The fact is not only in ancient times, but even in modern times, there is a custom that the bride's feet do not touch the ground, and even the groom is not allowed to get out of the car when he greets his relatives.

With a smiling expression on her face, Lotte looked at Princess Lando, but the feeling in her heart was another taste, this girl has been spoiled since she was a young woman, and she is definitely a master who loves to toss, compared to her own few concubines, which one of them is very gentle, and this princess will inevitably give herself a headache in the future.

……

Xi Niang carried Princess Lando on her back on the sedan chair without barriers, said goodbye to Li Qianshun and the officials of Xixia who faced her coldly, and Lotte rode the white horse when she came, and led the princess to sit in the sedan chair towards the Horse Mansion.

Lotte naturally does not have a horse house in Western Xia, so he can only use the post house where he temporarily lives as a horse house.

Lotte rode in front, followed by not the princess's palanquin, but the astronomical officer of Western Xia, and according to the princess's identity, should be equipped with dowry items and servants, holding 20 pairs of candles and lanterns, as well as the corresponding envoys, and eight boys with hairpins on their heads, these envoys and boy servants each held four square fans, four round fans, ten pots of obstacle flowers, twenty lanterns, and obstacles, sitting obstacles, etc.

To Lotte's surprise, the queen actually rode a Kowloon sedan chair, the prince Li Renbao rode a horse to see off in person, the princess sedan chair on both sides of the two enclosures, Princess Lando's palanquin behind is the Xixia special management of the royal family genealogy of many things of the official office of Zongzheng Temple, but also Xia Chongzong Li Qianshun's younger brother Xingwang Liege, and then there are some noblewomen of the Xixia prince's family and other dignitaries and wives.

If it is according to the etiquette specifications of the princess to marry in the past, it is considered a very high standard to have His Royal Highness the Prince to see her off, and today even the queen mother has come out to give the wedding, which shows the grandeur of Princess Lando's wedding.

In essence, Lotte's wedding can only be regarded as the first half, and in the second half, Princess Lando's entry into Lejia's door can only be moved to the Great Song Dynasty, but this does not prevent Xixia from holding the first half of the wedding.

When the procession to welcome the bride arrived at the post house that was temporarily used as a concubine's house, the next banquet began to be held with nine lamps rewarded by Li Qianshun of Xia Chongzong.

Ushering in these courtesies, Lotte has already dealt with it freely, and the kung fu of the snake is even more perfect, and all matters during the banquet are guided by officials of the Western Xia Ministry of Rites, which is very stylized to follow, but there is no need to act randomly.

After the banquet, Lotte went out to send the Empress of Western Xia and the crown prince Li Renbao back to the palace first, and then sent Xia Chongzong Li Qianshun's younger brother Xingwang Liege back, and then sent some noblewomen of the princely family of Western Xia and other dignitaries and dignitaries back to the house, in short, Lotte must do everything.

By this time, the bowing Lotte had already begun to suffer from back pain, dizziness, and lack of energy, but then there was still a ceremony that had not been completed, and Lotte and Princess Landau had to return to their places and perform the gift of eating together as a newlywed.

Before the feast, Lotte has one more important thing to do, which is not to remove the hijab from Princess Lando's head.

"This Rausch is really suffocating......"

Before Lotte could lift Princess Lando's hijab, Princess Lando couldn't help it herself, and ripped off the hijab with one hand.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, lifting the hijab is unlucky!"

Lady Sticky, who was standing next to Princess Lando, said as she put the hijab back on Princess Lando.

"Hey...... Han people, come over and take off the hijab on the princess's head! When she took off her hijab, Princess Landor had already seen Lotte and said with great annoyance.

The nurse Mu Yi looked at Lotte apologetically: "Master ...... Pony"

At this time, someone brought the royal gift of "eating together", smiled bitterly and lifted the hijab on Landuo's head, and said in Lotte Yan: "Please come to the table with Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”

"Don't go!" Princess Landor replied very arrogantly.

Ignoring Princess Lando's arrogance, Lotte just said indifferently: "Come on, remember that the princess doesn't eat the food given by the summer lord!" ”

"You ......" Princess Landor hated, she didn't dare to do anything that disobeyed the holy order.

The nurse on the side couldn't help laughing, it seems that this concubine can fix his own princess.

Sitting on the opposite case with Princess Lando, the two were only separated by a case, and Lotte looked directly at Princess Lando's cold eyebrows, indifferent.

The so-called ritual of eating together with the ancients is also known as "eating together", the so-called "prison" refers to the food on the table, of course, the way of placing is also very particular, in the middle of the table are placed respectively is the meat of the carp, the dolphin and the fish, each of which is a portion, the meaning of the meat dish, the fish is the dried rabbit meat, the dolphin is the pork, the fish is the fish.

Around these three meat dishes, there are two bowls of rice and millet on the left and right sides, which are the yellow rice and millet that the ancients often ate.

In addition to these five kinds of food, there are four kinds of seasoning dishes in front of the husband's table and the woman's table, and each of them is two servings, which are called the food of the snail, the sauce, the sauce, and the soup.

According to the rules, the couple should eat millet first, then drink the broth, and then eat the sauce with their fingers, which is called "one meal", the ancient rite, and the three meals are full. Lotte doesn't know these rules, and these etiquette rules are guided by officials of the Ministry of Etiquette, so Lotte just has to do it according to the arrangement. I had already eaten some at the banquet before, and I was tired like this, and it didn't matter if I was full or not.

After the husband and wife finished the food ceremony, according to the arrangement of the officials of the Ministry of Rites and abide by the rules of the ancient rites, they should also rinse their mouths with sake, which is called the wine in the ancient saying, and the wine is divided into three times, which is called the "three wines", the wine vessels of the three wines, the first two times with the jue (wine glass), and the last time with the gourd, (卺, that is, the gourd is cut in half for the scoop) The couple each holds a piece of drinking, which is called "the drink of the couple".

According to the rules, after the ceremony, Princess Lando performed the ritual of serving her in-laws to wash and eat, that is to say, when she visited her parents-in-law, she would hand over a business card, a set of clothes, a box of handkerchiefs, a small box for dressing, a bag of bathing beans, 300 pairs of silverware, 500 pieces of clothing, and gifts for other relatives.

But at this time, Lotte is in Western Xia, and he has no parents, so naturally he doesn't need these.

The reason why Princess Lando's wedding was so complicated was also a helpless move by the Song and Xia countries, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites of the two countries advertised themselves as civilized states, and almost copied all the details of the Zhou Rite in the details of the wedding.

Very happy day to discover a ridiculous and harsh fact, it seems that tonight is the night of candles in the cave, as if it has nothing to do with him.

Anyone gets married, the candle night in the cave room is the most memorable moment in the life of the bride and groom, but Lotte is sad to the extreme, the reason is also very simple, he married this Xixia princess The wedding ceremony was only carried out in the first half, and the second half has not been carried out, so it can only be seen and not eaten.
