Chapter 802: The Sleeping Bride
The third day of the third lunar month, Daughter's Day.
The people of Kyoto gathered in the inner city early in the morning, waiting to see the princess marrying a son-in-law.
Several shops under Lin Ruan's name have put up signs that say "The owner is happy, closed for three days".
Since yesterday, the shopkeepers in the store have all returned to the princess's mansion to help.
Although there were people sent by the palace, they were of little use, but they all stayed in the palace, wanting to contribute to their master's wedding.
It's just that they are all curious about why they haven't seen their master show up.
The Shen family got up before dawn to clean up, and when the time was almost up, the whole family went to the princess's mansion with joy.
The family of officials who came to watch the ceremony, plus the people who watched the excitement, blocked the entire Qinglong Street.
Later, the emperor decreed that all officials living in the inner city should not stop driving horses, and those living in the outer city must park their carriages in the outer city and not drive into the inner city.
In this way, the traffic pressure is relieved.
Lin Zhong took a pair of children and changed into festive clothes, but there were not many smiles on the faces of the three of them.
When King Shen saw them like this, he pulled them into the corner and said a word, and when they came out again, the three of them also had smiles on their faces.
No matter what happens in the future, but today, they must happily help Lin Ruan get the marriage done.
Because of the princess's wedding, today's early dynasty was exempted.
The emperor and empress dressed up, accompanied the queen mother, sat in the chariot, and went out of the palace together to Lin Ruan's mansion.
Originally, according to the etiquette system, the marriage of the prince and the princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty was to be held in the palace. But Lin Ruan's current situation is special, so the wedding was held in the princess's mansion.
In order to be able to attend Xiao Jingchen's wedding in person, the Queen Mother has been very cooperative with the imperial doctor these days, and no matter how bitter the medicine is, she is not like before. After more than half a month of recuperation, although the Queen Mother's body is still a little weak, there is basically no major problem.
After entering the princess's mansion, the queen mother asked her to take her and go straight to the main courtyard.
Lin Ruan, who was sleeping, finished bathing and changing clothes with the help of Xi Mama.
Her wedding dress was designed by Helian Jun for her personally, and then sent to the queen by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to determine it, and then handed it over to the weaving office for a whole month to make it.
When she saw Lin Ruan sitting in front of the dressing table like a marionette, the Queen Mother couldn't help but hold Lin Ruan's slightly thin hand and cry. "My son, how did you become like this?"
She learned about Lin Ruan's situation two days ago.
Xiao Jingchen was afraid that the Queen Mother would be stimulated when she suddenly faced the unconscious Lin Ruan at the wedding, so he tried to find a way in advance to tell the Queen Mother the true situation of Lin Ruan in the most tactful way.
Knowing that Lin Ruan was like this in order to save herself, the Queen Mother blamed herself and heartache, and almost fainted again.
Fortunately, Xiao Jingchen had already taken precautions, and before he confessed, he had already arranged for the imperial doctor, so that he could explain things clearly so smoothly.
can know it, but when she saw Lin Ruan's appearance with her own eyes, the Queen Mother still couldn't help it.
The queen couldn't help but redden, "Queen Mother, today is Ah Ruan's big day, don't cry." Besides, your old man's body is just right, so you can't cry like this. If Ah Ruan knew about it in the future, he would feel guilty. ”
Princess Shen also held back her eyes and smiled: "Queen Mother, although Ah Ruan is not awake now, the imperial doctors said that her condition is very stable, and she will wake up if she takes care of herself." We haven't seen any kind of wind and waves in our lives, and Ah Ruan's idea is nothing. ”
Mama Hong also said: "Yes, Queen Mother, the princess is a girl with great achievements, and she will turn evil into good fortune and become auspicious in trouble." ”
It's easy to say it, so I persuaded the Queen Mother to stop crying.
The Queen Mother, who calmed down, wiped away her tears and made a decision: "After a while, the mourning family will personally comb Ah Ruan's hair." ”
Since ancient times, when a daughter's family gets married, the elder who combs her hair must be a blessed person.
But this woman who is full of Zhou, who has the blessing to be greater than her.
The Queen Mother looked at Lin Ruan distressed and lovingly and said, "This girl has taken risks twice to save her, and this time it has become like this, I want to give her all my blessings." In this way, she has more blessings and can wake up earlier. ”
The backyard began to work around Lin Ruan.
The mama who opened her face was about to move, but was stopped by the green calyx, "Mama, the princess said before that she didn't open her face when she got married." ”
Mama was stunned, "Don't open your face?" It's not in order. ”
The Queen Mother said directly: "Everything depends on the princess's wishes." ”
Where does the open-faced grandmother dare to have an opinion, and immediately retreat.
The grandmother who put on the makeup stepped forward to put on Lin Ruan's makeup.
Green Calyx said again: "The princess said before that when she got married, her makeup should be painted by herself. But now the princess is unable to move, so the maid Jinluan, who specializes in putting on makeup for the princess on weekdays, puts on the princess's makeup. ”
The grandmother who put on the makeup also looked embarrassed.
Mama Hong's face did not change and said: "Naturally, it is subject to the princess's meaning." ”
So the makeup mama also stepped aside and gave up her position to Jinluan.
Jin Luan's dexterity, after coming down from the marriage decree, she rehearsed hundreds of times in her heart how to put makeup on the princess.
So she didn't panic at all, took the makeup produced by Yue Jige, and carefully put on Lin Ruan's makeup.
The bridal makeup should be dignified and elegant, bright and moving, but not demonic. Jin Wan carefully remembered the points that Lin Ruan had told her, and described them in detail little by little.
It took half an hour, and Lin Ruan's makeup was finally completed.
Looking at Lin Ruan, who was still bright in the mirror even if his eyes were closed, the girls had mixed feelings in their hearts.
On a woman's most important day, the princess can't wake up to participate, what a pity it should be in the future.
Once you've got your makeup done, the next step is to comb your hair.
The Queen Mother took the comb, and with the support of the palace people, she stood up tremblingly, combed Lin Ruan's hair, and sang an auspicious song while combing:
"Once you comb your hair, you don't have to worry about being rich. The second comb is combed to the hair, disease-free and worry-free. Three combs combed to the head, many sons and many longevity. Then comb to the end, raise the case and raise the eyebrows. The two combs are combed to the tail, and the wings are double-flying. Three combs to the end, forever knotted with one heart. There is a head and a tail, and we are rich and noble in this life. ”
Because Lin Ruan's current state can't straighten his head, he can't wear the phoenix crown. So the Queen Mother tied up her long hair for Lin Ruan and pulled it into a concentric knot.
In the end, I can only simply insert a few weightless hair accessories.
After the queen mother combed her hair, she let the palace people hold her aside, "Princess Shen, you are Ah Ruan's grandmother, and Ah Ruan's hijab, you will cover it." ”
Princess Shen nodded, got up from the tray, picked up the red hijab embroidered with dragon and phoenix auspiciousness, and carefully covered it for Lin Ruan.
