CHAPTER XXXIII
In a few days, it will be the wedding of Tu and the general.
The day before the wedding, the Ministry of Internal Affairs led Luan Yixiao to carry the princess's dowry to the General's Mansion early in the morning, and dozens of cars of jewelry and brocade supported Princess Daqi's face, and it showed the emperor's importance to this family affair.
After the dowry was sent to the General's Mansion, because there were no other women in Tuhe's family, the internal affairs office received three first-class women to be responsible for the furnishings, which can be described as a great grace to the picture.
On the wedding day, as Princess Daqi's sister and Daqi's maiden family, Alain entered the palace with Songhe to marry Princess Daqi.
Princess Daqi is the most distressed daughter of Concubine De, because she has been in poor health since she was a child, she has been kept by her side, and she has not had much contact with her peers, and her personality is a little introverted.
At this time, in Concubine De's residence and the Good Palace, in addition to Concubine De and the expected concubines who loved to join in the fun, there were also some ladies and princesses, princesses and daughters of high-ranking ministers, and more than seventy or eighty people crowded the originally quite large side residences and small courtyards.
Alain and Songhe stood in a sparsely populated corner, watching the makeup maid carefully apply makeup to Daqi. On one side of the hanger hung a beautifully crafted wedding gown, shimmering slightly golden in the sunlight.
"I guess I used a feather needle mixed with gold dust. After all, the golden thread can only be used by the emperor and queen. Songhe followed Alain's gaze and whispered.
"It's so pretty." Alain said from the bottom of his heart.
The sun moved a little higher, and someone shouted outside, "The auspicious time has come." ”
Alan and Songhe walked out with the flow of people, and the bride went to the Queen Mother, the Emperor, and the Empress in turn to pay farewell to the Queen Mother under the guidance of the Ministry of Rites of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and finally returned to the Heshan Palace to salute Concubine De.
Concubine De's eyes were red, her voice was a little choked, and she said "good boy" a few times.
Then he got on the sedan chair and left the palace under the gaze of Concubine De, and after doing a ceremony that Alan couldn't understand in front of the palace gate, he changed to a large sedan chair.
Alain followed Songhe and sat in a sedan chair and followed behind.
"That's a lot of people!" Alain quietly opened the small window, glanced out at the mighty family send-off procession that was not in sight, and sighed.
"The team of marrying the princess has a guard of honor in front of the road, and then there are us, the princess, the lord and his wife, and the wife accompanying him in a small sedan chair, and behind us, there is also an escorted horse riding military academy. After this scene, it will be thousands of people to say the least. Songhe sat in the sedan chair and popularized knowledge to Alain: "Have you taken a closer look at the sedan chair bearer of Princess Daqi's sedan chair?" ”
"What's wrong?" Alain wondered.
"Those are the lieutenants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs!" Songhe smacked his lips and said.
When he arrived at the General's Mansion, Alan only took a picture with Tuhe, who was wearing a big red wedding dress, and followed Songhe to the middle hall where the female guests were to eat, while the male guests stayed in the outer hall with Tuhe.
Alain found that any kind of banquet was a place for the ladies to showcase their talents. In addition to the performance of the dancing girls, after everyone has eaten about the same, it is time for the ladies and princesses to dance, play the piano, sing, eat and paint.
As the most favored princess now, Alain was naturally named several times, but Alain did not blush and shirked all requests with "lack of skill".
"It's really a straw bale." Alain heard someone whisper, but as soon as this statement came out, he was immediately stopped by the woman on the side. Alain lowered his eyes and smiled, but did not refute or speak.
"It's so boring, you can go out with me to breathe." Songhe whispered in Alain's ear.
Alan nodded, and followed Songhe to the backyard.
