Chapter 10: The Princess's Wedding
The day of the princess's marriage is getting closer and closer, and everyone in the palace is busy. The whole palace has been decorated with joy, and the lights are colorful, so lively. The Forbidden City has not been so lively for many years, and Lord Qianlong is deeply affected and his mood has improved. In contrast, Concubine Dun, the biological mother of the tenth princess, was a little depressed.
The day before the tenth princess got married, Concubine Dun went to visit her daughter. It was already a little cold in Beijing in November, and Concubine Dun was wrapped in a thick coat and brought two little palace maids to walk in and undress while muttering quietly.
"It's so cold, what's going on in the Forbidden City this year, but it's only November, why is it so cold?" Concubine Dun's mood was as gloomy as this bleak weather.
"E-niang!" When the tenth princess saw Concubine Dun, she immediately ran over like a bird.
"I see that I am happy to you, I don't know how to be ashamed!" When Concubine Dun saw her daughter so happy, she felt even more uncomfortable.
"E-niang!" The tenth princess grabbed her mother's hand and sprinkled it.
"Why don't you look like a princess at all! In the afternoon, Concubine Yu, Concubine Ying, Concubine Xun, and Concubine Wan are all coming over, if you are so crazy, you don't laugh at people! ”
"My daughter knows."
"Okay, E-Niang's words just now are a bit serious." Concubine Dun saw that her daughter was unhappy, so she persuaded her a few more words. "You're going to get married tomorrow, and now everything you need to prepare is ready. Your emperor Ama has made up his mind, and he is determined to make your marriage beautiful, beautiful, and beautiful......"
"There is Laohuang Ama and Eniang bothered...... "The tenth princess didn't look at Concubine Dun, and said with a sullen head.
"What's the matter, you're still angry with your mother?"
"My daughter just wanted to show you the phoenix crown and xiaxia, it's the first time I've seen such beautiful clothes, where is it because of marriage that I'm so elated. I'm not unusual! ”
"Good! It's E-niang who blames you! Concubine Dun saw that she was wrong and blamed her daughter, so she hurriedly comforted. Seeing that you are going to get married, Eniang's heart is uncomfortable! He Shen is a first-class member of the court, and Fengshen Yinde is also a talent, and Eniang should be happy for you. It's just that you're married, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you every day, E-Niang's heart is really not a taste! Now ......" said that, Concubine Dun's tears flowed.
The tenth princess is indeed very important to Concubine Dun. It was because of her that Concubine Dun was able to be favored by Lord Qianlong, and even committed a heinous crime, and was finally forgiven.
Concubine Dun has a rough temperament, pampered and arrogant, and once beat a palace maid to death.
The palace maid system of the Qing court was different from that of the Ming Dynasty, and the palace maids were all selected from the Eight Banners' own dependents. If they are favored by the emperor in the palace, they can get the title of promotion. Even if you can't, you can be sent out of the palace and remarried when you reach a certain age. Concubine Dun was a palace maid when she first entered the palace, and she was promoted to permanent because of her favor. After he killed the palace maid, Lord Qianlong was very angry. However, he was afraid that the tenth princess would not be able to raise her head to see people in the future, so he reduced the punishment for her. just removed her from the position of concubine and demoted her to the rank of concubine.
After Concubine Dun was convicted, she was sent to the cold palace, and even the tenth princess was sent to other concubine palaces to be raised. The tenth princess couldn't see her biological mother crying all day long, Qianlong was distressed when she saw this, so she had to send her back to the palace of the concubine. Qianlong missed his daughter and inevitably went to visit the palace of the concubine, as the so-called meeting three loves, the concubine soon resumed the concubine position.
It can be said that Concubine Dun's today is all because of the tenth princess. It was this girl who saved her future and face, so Concubine Dun loved the tenth princess even more.
Looking at her mother's sad appearance, the tenth princess also felt distressed and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her.
"Eniang, isn't my daughter still in Beijing? You can enter the palace at any time to see Eniang, and then Eniang only needs to send a letter to her daughter, and her daughter promises to come back to see you! ”
"Good! Good! With your words, E-Niang is relieved! When Concubine Dun heard her daughter say this, her tears finally stopped. She is very clear about her daughter's filial piety, as long as she can be happy and happy, she will be satisfied.
The tenth princess comforted her mother again, and Concubine Dun left with peace of mind.
Early the next morning, a large number of grandmothers and palace maids served the ten princesses to freshen up and dress up. Concubine Dun also rushed over early, looking at her daughter sitting there excitedly and excitedly, hurriedly directing her subordinates to wait.
It took more than two hours to finally finish dressing up.
"You're so beautiful today!" Concubine Dun stood beside her daughter, and the smile on her face was as bright as a flower.
The tenth princess listened, and then looked at herself in the mirror. His black hair was tied into a high bun, and it was full of various colored beads. The phoenix crown on the top of the head is exquisite, but also decorated with sparkling tortoiseshell and agate beads, the bright moon earrings gently shake, the brilliance flows like a clear spring, it looks noble and elegant, bright and bright.
"E-Niang, my daughter is about to get married, E-Niang must take good care of her health in the future, and her daughter will often come to visit you." Looking at her mother with a smile on her face, the princess's heart suddenly became sour. Who knows, as soon as the tenth princess's voice fell, Concubine Dun's tears fell again.
Seeing her mother crying, the tenth princess thought of her mother's kindness to her in the past five years, and hugged her mother and cried softly.
"Good boy, don't cry, how can you see people when you cry and have red eyes? If you are seen by your father later, you will blame Eniang again! Concubine Dun persuaded and persuaded, but she couldn't stop crying again.
"Mother, princess, the auspicious time has come!" The two of them are crying, and Mama is coming to report.
When Concubine Dun heard this, she hurriedly wiped her daughter's tears with a handkerchief, and helped her daughter to walk towards the Baohe Palace.
The Baohe Hall is the place where the emperor feasted the princes and ministers of Mongolia, Xinjiang and other foreign domains, and the princess also had a banquet here when she got married. The gold bricks in the hall are paved with the ground, sit in the north to the south and set up the carved gold lacquer throne, magnificent, and the emperor's wedding is held in this place.
When the Ten Princesses and their entourage came to the court, all the palace ministers had already arrived, and they all stood on both sides with joy. The court musicians hurriedly beat the drums and chimes, and in an instant, the orchestra played in unison and the vocal music sounded in unison. After the performance, the royal palace, the ministers, and the deacons preparing for the big wedding performed the "three kneels and nine prostrations" and then read out the wording. Subsequently, the ministers congratulated again.
Lord Qianlong bought a rich dowry for his daughter, including a ruby hat, a golden phoenix, a golden bird, a golden Buddha, a gold-plated coral headband, a gold bracelet, a golden lotus bonsai hairpin, a golden pine spirit longevity hairpin, a coral pearl, a bluestone pearl, a shengsheng stone pearl, etc. As for jade antiques, silk and satin are countless. His favorite is this daughter, and he is naturally very generous in purchasing a dowry.
Take as much as you can and whatever you like!
Seeing that the time had come, Lord Qianlong personally helped his daughter to Fengyu, who was carried by sixteen Luanyi school guards. The top of this phoenix sedan chair is painted with gold, and there is a golden phoenix flying with wings in the middle. There is a small golden top on the back of the phoenix, and there are nine small golden luans around it, which is very luxurious. The princess gently got on the sedan chair and took her father's hand and never let go.
"Now that you are married and a wife, you must take good care of your husband and in-laws, and you must not put a princess on the shelf and embarrass your family." Qianlong Ye held his daughter's hand, and he was also very reluctant.
"Huang Ama......" Before the words of the tenth princess were finished, she was already crying silently.
"Don't cry, on the day of the wedding, these courtiers are watching!" Qianlong hurriedly comforted, "You just have to marry with confidence." You are my favorite daughter, who would dare to bully you?! As long as you don't bully others, Amma will be relieved! Qianlong watched his daughter cry, and his heart was even more uncomfortable.
Qianlong is also a human being.
"Alright, let's get on the road!" Qianlong was afraid that his daughter would cry again, so he had to let his daughter get into the sedan chair.
"Get up!" Sixteen Luanyi guards gently lifted the wind, and the team set off in a majestic manner.
At that moment, Qianlong's eyes were filled with tears.
The procession of sending relatives out of the palace through the Donghua Gate and walked towards Heshen Mansion (Prince Gong's Mansion). Along the way, the guards could be seen everywhere, all in good spirits and awe-inspiring. People are scrambling to see the princess, but unfortunately the princess is sitting in a sedan chair, where can outsiders see it?
Far away, Hefu is also full of lights. And adults and ten foreheads of Fengshen Yinde children's shoes are tied at the gate of the vermilion lacquer to greet them.
"Hurry up and set off firecrackers!" When he saw the team sending off his relatives, he hurriedly commanded loudly. At the sound of an order, the entire Hefu firecrackers rang out in unison, and the drums were noisy. Surrounded by the welcoming team, the palace band and the full support, the family sending team walked into the Hefu in a beautiful manner.
After entering the mansion, Fengshen Yinde hurriedly stepped forward to help the princess out of the sedan chair and helped the princess to sit on the "happy bed" in the new house. The two "sat on the bed" together, ate "grandchildren and grandchildren's steamed buns" and "longevity noodles", and then entered the "wedding banquet", drank a glass of wine, and finally completed the etiquette on the first day of the wedding.
The princess's wedding was extraordinary, and the crowd of people who went to Hefu Daohe lined up in a long line.
"He Shen's son became a colt and married the emperor's favorite princess into the door, and it will be even more prosperous in the future!"
"yes, yes! Who doesn't know that the emperor loves these ten princesses the most. We can't afford to provoke him on weekdays, but now that we have become a royal prince, we can't provoke him! ”
"You forgot what happened to Cao Xibao last time?! I don't think to marry a princess or not, this and Shen can't be provoked! The emperor is obviously protecting Heshen! ”
"You speak carefully, this is Hefu, it's not good for Lord He to hear it. Besides, the rich gentleman and Yinde are also a talent, so it's no wonder that the emperor likes ......"
Just as he was busy marrying the princess with his father and son, the ministers who were waiting in a long line to enter began to discuss in private. When the princess entered the wedding room, the gang rushed into the hall like a swarm: rub, it's late, except for the empty seats.......
Hey, brother, squeeze in, if I don't eat this meal back, I'm upset!
"And my lord, congratulations, congratulations!" Comrade Agui, the foreman of the military aircraft minister, took the lead in congratulating with valuable gifts. Of course, he didn't come for Lord He, he was giving Qianlong Ye face.
"Thank you, Lord Gui! Thanks to the emperor's refusal to give up the princess to me and my family, this is the honor of our family and our family! "It doesn't matter who you rush, things never retreat.
"And my lord, congratulations!" Fu Changan picked up his wine glass and came to Lord He's side.
"I said why can't I find you, it turns out that your kid ran there!" This is sincere.
"And my lord, our brothers won't come with you anymore." Fu Changan whispered, "With your current identity, the position of the first minister of the Qing Dynasty can be regarded as consolidated!" Haha......"
"Brother, you are also in the sky, we brothers are each other!" With the power of the Fu family, the career of Fu Chang'an children's shoes is also smooth sailing. Now the two of them are united, and there are few rivals between the DPRK and China.
Rare is also available.
Not long after the tenth princess married Feng Shen Yinde, another person stood up, aiming directly at Lord He.
Demons, die!
