On the ninth day of the first month of the eighteenth year of Shunzhi, the eight-year-old third elder brother Xuanye ascended the throne, and issued an edict of amnesty on the same day, with the second year (1662) as the first year of Kangxi.

When the funeral of the ancestor of the Qing dynasty was completed, on the ninth day of June of that year, Kong Sizhen, who was already twenty years old, finally walked out of the palace and married Sun Yanling.

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang has been promoted to the empress dowager, and at the beginning of the year she ordered the construction of a mansion for them outside the Xihua Gate, and Sun Yanling was awarded the title of "Heshuo Edo", was given a hereditary marquis, and became a member of the Council of Ministers of the Parliamentary King.

On the morning of the ninth day of the sixth lunar month, before dawn, there were people shuttling in Hanzhang Palace, and the palace people were busy.

Before Sizhen's eyes opened, he was waited by Thrush and others to put on a red wedding dress.

Before she could get it neat, Bingyue was hugged and led by the palace people to be lively.

Since the collapse of Emperor Shunzhi in the palace at the beginning of the year, there has been no joy in the past few months, and it is easy to meet Sizhen to get married, and the lights are everywhere, and they are full of joy, and even the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces are messing around with these little ones.

"One comb until you are old, and the other comb your white hair and eyebrows. Three combs of children and grandchildren are all over the ground, and four combs are met by nobles. Five combs of Weng and Shun, six combs of relatives and friends to help. Seven combs of love and righteousness are strong, and eight combs travel through the lotus road. Nine combs and nine sons are in a row, and ten combs are in love with the husband and wife to the point of white-headedness......"

Mrs. Quanfu praised Sizhen while combing her hair: "Princess Zhen looks good, and her hair is like satin, oily and slippery......"

Jianning, Talma, and A Yunduo, because they were often together with Sizhen in the old days, now come to marry as women, and several people are around Sizhen, smiling and smiling.

"Have you read the booklet that the queen mother gave you yesterday?" Jian Ning asked in Sizhen's ear, frowning.

Sizhen, who has always been down-and-out and generous, was full of delicate red when she asked, and glanced at Jianning.

Jian Ning laughed and whispered: "If there is anything you don't understand, while we are here at this moment, you can ask for advice......"

Sizhen twisted her, and her voice was like a whisper: "Her Royal Highness the princess is a wife, is there no cover in her mouth like this?" Put away those nonsense, Bingyue and their little ones are still there. ”

Jian Ning glanced at Bingyue on the side, and smiled and took the fifth elder brother's hand: "Let's go, Aunt Jianning will take you to eat, you Aunt Sizhen is here, it will be better for a while." ”

Bingyue, the second princess, and Duanmin, led the fifth elder brother and the sixth elder brother to run over curiously early in the morning to see the excitement, and they felt a little hungry, and when they heard Jian Ning say this, they all hurriedly hulala and followed.

As soon as Ah Yunduo saw Jianning go out, he hurriedly followed. As Wu Yingxiong's concubine, her biggest duty is to serve the housewife, in the first two years, she also competed with Jianning, these years, she has long recognized her position, and Jianning is following suit.

Sizhen exhaled lightly and said to Mrs. Quanfu: "This powder doesn't need to be too thick......

Hanzhang Hall was very busy, and Sun Yanling also got up early in the morning and rushed to the noon gate with the bride price and the auspicious time.

A month ago, he was taken by the Zongren Mansion Sect Order, which manages the affairs of the royal family's genealogy, juelu, rewards and punishments, sacrifices, etc., and Prince Yue Le of Shuo'an to the east steps of the Qianqing Gate, and listened to the Empress Dowager's decree to marry Sizhen to him.

The will was read out by Liu Jinzhong, the great eunuch beside the little emperor Xuanye: "Today, the princess of Heshuo Kong Sizhen will choose the second-class Ashani Hafan Sun Yanling as his wife......"

In order to commend Sizhen for his dedication to the royal family over the years and his respect and filial piety to the Emperor Taihuang, before Sizhen got married, the little emperor Xuanye followed the will of the Empress Dowager and named Sizhen as Princess Heshuo.

Hearing that decree, Sun Yanling felt that his heart was settled, with this decree, his marriage with Sizhen was a certainty.

On the ninth day of the first month of June, Jinkui, Yutang, Wuhe, and Minggou are right, everything is smooth, and it is appropriate to bathe, make an alliance, enter the house, and marry...... Sun Yanling, who walked to the front of the palace gate, thought of the words on the yellow calendar, and the corners of his lips hooked up, revealing a smile.

It's not easy to wait until this day!

"There is Prince Lao'an, I will let the bride price be carried in...... Sun Yanling jumped off the horse and said to Prince An Yue Le, who came to receive the gift at noon.

According to the rules, the princess was given the "Ninety-Nine Rites", with eighteen saddle horses, eighteen pairs of armor, twenty-one horses, six packs, ten banquet tables, eighty-one sheep, and forty-five bottles of milk wine and rice wine...... After Prince An received the ceremony on behalf of the clan, Sun Yanling also went to thank the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces and the Emperor, and then the Emperor and the Empress Dowager feasted the men and women of his family in the Taihe Hall and Cining Palace respectively.

He is busy here, Sizhen is not easy, get up early in the morning to dress up, put on auspicious clothes, and when it is auspicious, he will first go to the queen mother, the queen mother of the two palaces, and the little emperor to pay farewell in turn, and then, under the guidance of the wife, he will ascend to the public opinion, and meet Sun Yanling, who has thanked the queen mother and others, from the noon gate around the imperial city, and then to their Xihuamen mansion.

The procession of welcoming and sending off relatives followed behind the carriage and horses in two lines, and there were hundreds of people.

Sizhen got on the ride, red cover, red silk, cover the corner of the golden edge of the driver, found that there was a plate on it, on which there were five pomegranates, red chopsticks inserted in the middle, and a pomegranate flower was tied to the chopsticks, pursed his lips and smiled.

Durian opens a hundred sons, even the princess gets married, and these good intentions are also happy!

I don't know how long it took, the car finally stopped, the two brides helped Sizhen to get out of the car, and Thrush and Bailing followed.

The red silk was stuffed into her hand, and the treasure bottle, which was about a foot high, was held in her arms.

Sizhen knew that in the middle of the red silk was a big "concentric knot", and the other end was held in Sun Yanling's hand, and she would be led by him, holding the treasure bottle full of grain, supported by Xi Niang, stepping on the red carpet on the floor, and slowly walking towards the door.

Sun Yanling's eyes looked at Sizhen with a red hijab at the other end of the "concentric knot" from time to time, and watched the arranged mascot holding grains and throwing grains on her, and she was really happy in her heart.

Sizhen heard Xi Niang whispering in her ear: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you go this way, yes, across the brazier, across the saddle......

Walked the door, and then went to the big flower hall, held a ceremony to worship heaven and earth, before worshipping, Sun Yanling used a jade-inlaid gemstone scale rod type Ruyi to remove the hijab of Sizhen, this step, commonly known as "satisfactory".

Seeing that beautiful face appear in front of him, Sun Yanling only felt that this life was really satisfying!

The people who watched the ceremony, the moment the hijab was lifted, they all said: "The princess is really good-looking......

"Sun Erlang is really blessed to marry such a powerful and good-looking princess......"

"Oh, the princess is so beautiful."

"Even more beautiful than the first beauty in our city!"

"She's my sister-in-law, hee-hee, pretty, right?" A little girl's crisp voice rang out.

Without waiting for Sizhen to listen carefully, another somewhat coquettish voice answered: "What is your sister-in-law, she is also my sister-in-law." ”

Another slightly sharp female voice said: "Don't mess around, your serious sister-in-law is helping to entertain guests in front, this should be called cousin-in-law." ”

"Why do you call your cousin? How unkind, the second brother married into the door, he should be called the second sister-in-law. The crisp voice retorted.

A woman laughed and reprimanded: "What second sister-in-law, that is the princess, you have to call Her Royal Highness the princess." ”

A slightly mature voice laughed: "This bride has just entered the door, you guys will grab it, don't make trouble, don't make trouble, your second brother should be angry." ”

"The second brother won't be angry, he is the happiest today, I have never seen him so happy......"

Sizhen heard the laughter around her, raised her head, and saw Sun Yanling on the opposite side smiling at her from behind the pearl tassel, and couldn't help but purse her lips and smile and lowered her head.

He is really happy today!

A couple of newlyweds at both ends of the red silk first kowtowed three times to the tablet of the Lord of Heaven and Earth, and then bowed four times to the ancestral hall, and then returned to the courtyard to bow to Sun Yanling's mother, and then bowed to the couple. After the ceremony, a pair of newlyweds were sent into the new house.

The bride brought the wine, and Sun Yanling grabbed the golden melon seeds and rewarded them both, laughing so hard that the two brides couldn't put their mouths together.

The two maidens brought a tray with wine glasses and knelt down to hold it up in front of them.

Sizhen reached out and picked up a wine glass, Sun Yanling took another, and everyone in the room looked at it with a smile.

Sizhen turned around and faced Sun Yanling, Sun Yanling stretched out his hand, Sizhen passed through his arm, that is, in the blink of an eye, when everyone looked again, the two of them had already raised their heads and drank the wine in the cup.

"After drinking the wine, a hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren, wealth and ......glory," the bridesmaidens said auspicious words: "...... I wish the princess and the forehead a hundred years of good together, love and white heads. ”

After the two finished drinking, the bride tied the hair of the two in a concentric knot, twisted it down, and put it into an auspicious purse.

After that, there was a bowl of glutinous rice balls, the filling was not cooked, Sizhen took a bite, and said the word 'sheng' shyly according to custom, and a group of people cheered.

After drinking, Sun Yanling and Sizhen held their hands to the bed, turned left three times, turned three times to the right, and "stepped on the four corners" for it. When stepping on it, Xi Niang was still reading next to her: "Step, step, step on the four corners, the four corners are protected, there are many babies, there are few women, and the mother-in-law is always good." ”

Someone in the house began to sing the song of the tent, and the children who came to see the excitement and those who sang together took longan, red dates, peanuts and other things, and threw them at the two of them.

Sun Yanling protected Sizhen, worried that she would be smashed in the face, which would make everyone laugh, saying that the forehead was a person who would hurt people, and even the auspicious thing that hit her body was afraid that it would hurt the princess.

After stepping on the four corners, Sun Yanling went out to entertain the guests, and Sizhen took off the phoenix crown and xia veil under the service of the thrush and others, changed into red casual clothes, and held the scales, porcelain bottles, and reeds according to the bride's arms, and sat cross-legged on the bucket resting on the bed.

This ceremony is called "sitting in the tent", which symbolizes that the bride is fair, thoughtful, and tight-lipped.

When all this was done, Xi Niang invited people out, leaving Sizhen alone to sit on the bed.

The noise was kept outside, only the dragon and phoenix candles burning high made a slight crackling and popping sound.
