The crown princess smiled and said, "Mama, you are prejudiced against her, I think she is very cautious, and the waiter is also very careful." Being able to spread more branches for the prince is also a good thing in our house. โ€

"Your Highness, you are too generous, I always think that Guo Liangdi is used to doing superficial work, if she is really good, why haven't I seen anyone else give birth to a boy and a woman for her father in the past two years? The master loved to go to her courtyard, and he damaged his body, and most of it was hers. โ€

After Mama Shan reminded her like this, the crown princess thought about it, there was really such a thing, "I'll talk to her another day, a few days ago, she was worried about her father's body and bones with me, and she didn't look like a foxy person." Yes, there are already so many people in the house, and they still have to take a concubine, the daughter of the British duke, who is only three years older than Qing'er, is a little friend who is playing, but now she has become her concubine, which is really ridiculous. โ€

Mama Shan comforted her, "Isn't that for the great achievements of the British public army, and marriage can also better help the East Palace." The emperor's approval of this matter is enough to explain the status of the prince in the emperor's heart. Seeing that our East Palace is becoming more and more stable day by day, you don't have to worry so much anymore. โ€

"If it's just for this, Xu Zhi'er or Jun'er can also help, he's still for himself." The crown princess didn't understand, and sighed self-deprecatingly, "Hey, men aren't all like this, no matter how old they are, they all like girls with flowers and bones!" โ€

It's not easy for Mama Shan to continue this topic, so she just laughed dryly twice.

In the following days, the prince's mansion was in chaos, and naturally the crown princess couldn't take care of the flowers and plants on the prince's side, and devoted herself to the marriage of the crown prince Zhu Zhanji.

According to the provisions of the Ming Law, the etiquette of "marriage" is divided into Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Nazheng, announcing and greeting, also known as "six rites".

When it came to the eighth day of August, the prince's mansion was full of lights, and all palaces and courtyards were equipped with firecrackers, red bronzing double happiness characters, and big red candles with thick arms, and red felt was laid along the way.

Ordinary people, are sons-in-law to greet in person, Zhu Zhanjigui is the emperor's grandson, the future prince, there is no need to deign to greet in person, represented by the Quanfu people of "both children and daughters".

Zhu Zhanji put on a red auspicious costume, first went to the family temple to worship his ancestors, and then went to the palace to thank Emperor Yongle and the concubines of the two palaces, and then went to the Taihe Hall in the sound of music.

This Taihe Hall is a special place in the palace for worship celebrations and various ceremonies, and only the weddings of the emperor, the crown prince, and the crown prince will be held here.

The treasure books and gold seals used to welcome relatives and canonize the imperial concubines have been placed on the temporary tables set up in the main hall. Zhu Zhanji walked over and flipped through it, and saw in a trance that in the words on it, the three words Hu Shanxiang had become Sun Qingyang, and he stood silently for a while before holding the treasure book, the golden seal, and waiting for Emperor Yongle to ascend to the throne.

The princes and ministers who participated in the marriage stood happily on the altar and in the courtyard of the Taihe Palace, looking more than the groom and the official Zhu Zhanji.

Firecrackers rang three times, and in the sound of drums, the princes and ministers made a "three kneels and nine knocks" salute to Emperor Yongle on the throne to congratulate the emperor on marrying a good granddaughter-in-law.

After the ceremony, the music stopped, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Xia Yuanji presented the gold book, Jinbao, read out the book, the treasure text, and then, the festival, the book, the treasure to welcome the messenger.

The greeting messenger put the gold book and the golden treasure in the "Dragon Pavilion". The guard of honor, the drum band in front, the greeting messenger in the center, followed by the greeting officials, eunuchs, guards, out of the noon gate, together with the imperial concubine honor guard, one of which is the imperial concubine to sit in a sedan chair, covered with apricot yellow satin curtains on the outside, embroidered with gold thread with a big phoenix.

The team carried a large number of gifts and went straight to Hufu.

These days, the Hu family has been wearing the whole house, and the whole family has been dressed in front of them, and the three new outfits inside and outside are full of lights and smiles.

Hu Shanxiang has already changed into a phoenix crown in the auspicious time, wearing a red wedding dress embroidered with golden clouds and phoenixes, and wearing a nine hui (yin hui) four phoenix crowns sitting on the Luohan couch near the window, bright and shining.

On the crown of the four phoenixes alone, it is to take the lacquered bamboo silk as the circle, inlaid with the best jadeite, decorated with nine cuihui and four golden phoenixes, each mouth is holding bead drops, there are pearl cuiyun and nine peony big pearl flowers on it, each tree blooms one, half-opened one, two stamens, nine green leaves. The small bead flower is also nine trees, all of them are fluttering branches, one flower per branch, one half-opened, five green leaves, on the double Bo temples of the left and right four fans, embroidered with Luan Feng, also hanging down the bead drops, plus the cuikou circle, the bead row ring, the bead soap Luo forehead, the whole phoenix crown is magnificent, and so on.

Not to mention the head and body, even the green socks are woven with green thread, and the shoes are embroidered with Qingqi with Jin Yunfengwen, and there are three jewels on the toes.

Looking at her daughter's flowery appearance, Hu Shanxiang's mother Qian couldn't help but burst into tears.

Her aunt and aunt kept praising on the side, saying that Hu Shanxiang was graceful and luxurious, and he was born with an unattainable life, and pulled her to ask long and short questions, and the relatives who gathered in the house one after another followed the gags on the side, and the house was very lively.

Hu Shanxiang smiled, as if he was listening quietly, but his mind flew far away.

Soon it was auspicious, Mrs. Quanfu symbolically combed her hair three times, and there were words in her mouth, Hu Shanxiang listened carefully before she understood what she said, "Comb to the hair, wealth and nobility do not have to worry: comb to the end again, raise the case and raise the eyebrows; Three combs to the end, forever knotted with one heart. โ€

Fly with wings and tie the knot forever? Hu Shanxiang took the lotus seed and lily soup that he should drink when he was auspicious, and slowly sipped it, but his heart was as bitter as a lotus seed without a lotus core.

Everyone's words of praise are like being blown around by the wind, and they can't get into their ears.

The faint sound of crackling firecrackers could be heard in the distance.

I don't know who shouted at the top of his voice: "The sedan chair has arrived, the sedan chair has arrived!" โ€

The ladies of the house rushed out to watch the excitement.

The aunt and aunt stayed in the house, counting the same to help Hu Shanxiang make the final touch, and the Qian family had already cried and sat on the kang with the help of the maid.

Hu Shanxiang's mood was unusually calm, causing her aunt to complain in a low voice, "Why is this child so hard-hearted?" Her mother cried like this, and she didn't have anything to do. โ€

Hu Shanxiang didn't seem to hear it, the crying and complaining in the room seemed to have nothing to do with her, and even the sadness in his heart just now suddenly disappeared.

There was only calm, as calm as the surface of the water that did not make a wave.

A little maid ran in and said excitedly: "It's really worthy of the royal family, it's so generous, and the reward is all eight cents of silver and eight dollars of silver, and the sky is full of six baskets full of stars." โ€

My aunt and the others couldn't help laughing happily, and persuaded the Qian family that Hu Shanxiang should be happy if he is married so rich now.

Hu Shanxiang's personal maid Zhihe gave the little maid a red reward.

Outside, there was the sound of cheerful and festive drums.

Another little maid happily ran in and reported, "The sedan chair of the imperial concubine has entered the door, it is so beautiful, and the big birds on it are embroidered with gold thread." โ€

Uncle and Qian nervously instructed Hu Shanxiang: "Sit down quickly!" He straightened her shirt and put the red hijab on.

After a while, the little maid ran in again to report: "The imperial grandson's wife is here." โ€

The aunt hurriedly greeted her, smiled and greeted the wife who had already gone up the steps, and welcomed her into the inner room.

The palace came to pick up the relatives, the Hu family sent the relatives, the drums and people of the two families were crowded together, and the spacious flower hall was full of laughter and laughter, and the voices were boiling.

After kneeling to accept the treasure, Mrs. Quanfu's whispered instructions came from Hu Shanxiang's ears: "It's time to say goodbye to your parents!" โ€

Supported by two personal maids, Hu Shanxiang respectfully refreshed the grooming and looked neat Hu Rong and Qian kowtowed three times.

Hu Rong looked at his daughter happily, on weekdays, this daughter who is not smart enough and not beautiful enough is not in his eyes, but he didn't expect the emperor to call him to join the eight characters, this third daughter turned out to be the most noble, he looked at the Qian family to help Hu Shanxiang up, and heard her just whisper "Go to the daughter's house, you must respect and abstain, do not violate the master, and take obedience as the right." I couldn't cry, I couldn't speak, and I hurriedly pulled up my old wife, "Okay, okay, even if you can't bear to be reluctant on a happy day like today, you have to restrain yourself." Later, his voice became a little harsh.

Qian tried his best to hold back his crying, but he couldn't stop trembling holding his daughter Hu Shanxiang's hand.

Mother doesn't pay much attention to herself on weekdays, in Hu Shanxiang's memory, she is just a nest in the house all day long to make needle money, lying down and drinking medicinal soup, laughing at her father and aunts on weekdays, seeing her father is cowardly like a mouse seeing a cat, there is no sense of existence, I didn't expect to marry this time, I was sincerely worried about myself, but only this mother.

Thinking of the words that her mother had chattered with her last night, Hu Shanxiang's eyes began to glisten with tears, she threw herself into Qian's arms, and whimpered, "Mother-"

Reluctant, affectionate, dependent, sad, confused, lonely...... All kinds of emotions are mixed together, and in the future, even hugging my mother like this is a luxury.

For a while, there was silence in the flower hall.

Hu Shanxiang couldn't help but burst into tears.

She thought of her mother's pity, of her mother's protection of herself when she was a child and her sisters, of her distressed face when she was injured, of her mother's premature decline, and of standing with her father like mother and son, not like husband and wife......

"Mother!" She knelt in front of Qian and wept silently.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Qian awkwardly and hurriedly wiped the tears on her face, "Today is your good day, don't cry your face, you are going to the palace to be a mother, my mother is happy, happy ......"

She went to the palace to be a mother, to be the princess, the crown princess, and even the queen, but she left her mother, and no one would be so sad, sad, and happy for her!
