After knowing that Wang Xibao was going to hold a ceremony, Zheng Xiangjun was the first to go to the Heshun Marquis Mansion and take the initiative to ask Ying to be Wang Xibao's praiser. Wang Jibao originally wanted to agree. Unexpectedly, Cheng Wan, who had not gone out for a long time, also passed the house and also served as this praiser.

In Cheng Wan's view, this is a good opportunity for her and Wang Jibao to resume their friendship. She is now completely dead to love, and she doesn't want to lose this rare friendship again.

Just when Wang Jibao was in trouble, a decree in the palace helped Wang Jibao solve this problem.

Yi Zhi said that Wang Jibao's contemplation ceremony should be held in the Yongci Palace of Empress Dowager Jiang. At that time, all the people and things needed for the ceremony were all arranged by the Empress Dowager Jiang herself.

Empress Dowager Jiang's health is getting worse and worse, but she has snatched the handling of Wang Jibao and Lu from Empress Qin, and she has to do everything herself.

Seeing that Empress Dowager Jiang was busy working because of this, in addition to being a little tired physically, her spirit was exceptionally good. Emperor Yongsheng and Empress Qin were also a little relieved.

But Empress Qin didn't dare to let go completely, in some big and small matters, she still had to help take ideas and help solve problems.

In such a busy situation, everyone ushered in the sixth day of the second lunar month. That is, the day of the ceremony held by Wang Jibao in advance.

On this day, almost all the ladies of Yongdu brought their daughters to attend in full costume.

The number of people attending this time is comparable to the scale of the selection of the princess and the prince's side concubine in previous years. However, it is also reported that after this ceremony, a palace banquet will also be held to choose a concubine for Xia Liyan, the fifth prince who is also about to turn fifteen.

Once chosen, the marriage may also take place in advance. The date is probably set shortly after Princess Bao gets married.

This time Xia Liyan's choice of concubine, a discerning person knew at a glance that there was an element of joy for Empress Dowager Jiang. But Xia Liyan is the only prince who has reached the age of marriage for so many years. Being able to become his royal concubine and side concubine is also the common wish of many families with unmarried daughters of appropriate age.

Wang Jibao lived in Yongci Palace with the Jiang family, the Li family, and her maternal grandmother and several aunts in the Zhenguo Mansion the day before.

Early in the morning, I was woken up early and stuffed into a large wooden barrel with flower petals for a good meal.

When the auspicious time arrived, Wang Ziyi and the Jiang couple stood on the east steps to welcome the guests, and the Empress Qin, as Yousi, personally stood at the bottom of the west steps with a tray, and the guests stood outside the venue and waited.

Wang Jibao changed into a set of bright green clothes and shoes, and sat in the east hall waiting.

When the musicians in the palace began to play, the Empress Dowager Jiang attended as a guest of honor with the support of two palace maids. Wang Ziyi and Jiang hurriedly stepped forward to greet each other, and entered after making formal salutes to each other, and the guests also entered the venue.

After the guests were seated, Wang Ziyi and Jiang took their seats.

After Wang Ziyi read some blessings from the officials of the Ministry of Rites, he thanked everyone for coming as an opening ceremony.

Then the ceremony begins.

The candidate for praise is none other than the East Palace Crown Princess Chen. She was the first to come out, wash her hands, and take her place on the west steps.

As soon as she appeared, the people below were even more calm.

Good guys, the three most noble women in the Dayong Dynasty are all sent to Princess Bao and Xu, how much glory does this have? It seems that such an unruly ceremony can be regarded as a precedent for the Hongwu Continent.

When Wang Jibao appeared in front of everyone with a smile on her back and shoulders in a tender green dress, her black hair poured down on her back and shoulders, everyone was stunned.

Delicate and perfect face, willow leaf curved eyebrows, big apricot eyes, long eyelashes, a small nose, and a diamond-shaped mouth that is not dotted.

If you don't apply powder, you will make the heavens and the earth lose their color. If you wear heavy makeup, you don't know how to fall into the country.

In particular, Wang Jibao's slender and slender figure, with a light gait when walking, is like a butterfly flying among the flowers, which makes all the women yearn and jealous.

This god doesn't have such partiality! Why was everything taken away by the woman in front of him?

When the officials of the Ministry of Rites shouted a greeting to the crowd: "On the auspicious day of the month, the first Canadian dollar is served." Abandon your young ambitions, and become virtuous. Shou Kao Weiqi, Jieer Jingfu. Later, Empress Dowager Jiang, as a guest of honor, walked to Wang Jibao, who was kneeling in the center, with the support of the palace maid.

The praiser Empress Qin took the tray, and the Empress Dowager Jiang took the comb from it and gently combed Wang Jibao's hair.

While combing, she also told Wang Jibao what she had said when she was a child: "Sister Bao, now your grandmother can still comb your hair, and when you grow up and become married in the future, only your future husband can comb your hair." ”

Wang Jibao held back the tears that were about to overflow in her eyes, and said coquettishly like when she was a child: "If Baomei doesn't marry for the rest of her life, will her grandmother be able to comb Baomei's hair for a lifetime?" ”

Empress Dowager Jiang was also like when she was a child, she tapped Wang Xibao's forehead and said, "Silly girl, how can a girl not marry in her life." It's just that this time, after saying this, Empress Dowager Jiang added: "My aunt and grandmother used to think so." ”

Yes, how many women have never said this before they got married?

After that, Empress Dowager Jiang took out the eight-treasure exquisite pearl hairpin she had carefully prepared for Wang Jibao from the tray held by Empress Qin and inserted it in the middle of the bun that had just been coiled up for her.

After plugging it in, Empress Dowager Jiang looked up and down, left and right, and said, "Sister Bao is a complete big girl when she combs her hair like this." The little girl who used to be coquettish in the arms of her grandmother can no longer be found. ”

Wang Jibao said cheekily: "I can't find it, isn't there still such a cute big girl as me?" ”

"You!" After Empress Dowager Jiang said this, she didn't say anything more, and stepped aside with a smile.

Wang Jibao got up with the support of the crown princess Chen, went to the east hall to change into a dark purple floor-length skirt and showed it to the guests. Then face Wang Ziyi and Jiang and his wife, and make a formal salute.

This is the first time to worship to show gratitude for the nurturing grace of your parents.

Wang Jibao bowed down with great sincerity.

It was they who made her, a girl who was once forgotten in the corner, experience what the most selfless love is, it was they who took good care of and cared for her little adult without illness and disaster, and it was they who gave her all the best in their hands.

By the time Wang Jibao stood up, tears had completely wet her clothes.

But she still smiled like a flower, and shouted a sentence that the people of this dynasty would never shout: "Daddy, mother, I love you just as you love me." Daughter will always love you. ”

When Wang Jibao knelt down just now, Jiang's tears had broken the embankment just like Wang Jibao. Now as soon as he heard Wang Jibao shout such sincere words that no one would ever shout in front of so many people, Jiang covered his mouth, lay in Wang Ziyi's arms and choked up: "Mother loves you too." Love you forever. ”

Wang Ziyi's eyes were red, and he patted Jiang's shoulder to comfort her. At the same time, he is also responding in his heart: Daddy loves you too. Love you forever.

A simple word of love made everyone present moved.

After calming down, Wang Jibao sat facing Dongzheng, and after washing her hands, Empress Dowager Jiang came to Wang Jibao's approach again. Empress Qin presented the beautiful jade hairpin she had prepared for Wang Jibao to Empress Dowager Jiang. Empress Dowager Jiang stretched out her hand to take it.

The official of the Ministry of Rites chanted loudly and said: "The auspicious moon is the birthday, and it is a Shener service." Respect for the majesty, the grace of the soot. Eyebrows live for 10,000 years, and will always be blessed by Hu. ”

The praiser princess Chen went to the flute for Wang Jibao.

Empress Dowager Jiang once again put a hairpin on Wang Ji's hairpin. Then step back and stand aside.

The crown princess Chen helped Wang Jibao symbolically correct the hairpin.

After that, accompanied by the crown princess Chen, Wang Jibao went to the east hall to change into the palace dress regulated by the light purple princess, and appeared in front of everyone again. This time, she faced the Empress Dowager Jiang and made a formal salute.

This is the second prayer. This time, it is to show respect for the teacher and seniors.

Wang Jibao still knelt down seriously this time, and also choked up and said: "Auntie grandmother, Baomei will always love you." ”

Empress Dowager Jiang trembled and raised her right hand in the shape of a dead branch, touched the top of Wang Xibao's hair who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Well, my grandmother has written it down." ”

Wang Jibao wiped away her tears, sat facing Dongzheng again, Empress Dowager Jiang washed her hands again, and Empress Qin presented the gold silk inlaid gemstone butterfly love flower hairpin crown prepared by Jiang for Wang Jibao this time.

Empress Dowager Jiang took it and walked to Wang Jibao and stood up.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites chanted loudly and said: "With the righteousness of the year, with the order of the month, the salty gar is served." Brothers are there, in order to become a virtue. The astragalus is boundless, and it is celebrated by the sky. ”

Crown Princess Chen, like last time, went to hairpin for Wang Jibao. Empress Dowager Jiang added a crown of golden silk inlaid gems to Wang Jibao, and then stood on one side.

The crown princess then stepped forward to help Wang Jibao straighten the hairpin crown.

After this time, Wang Jibao entered the east hall again and changed into a red long-sleeved dress with gold and silk inlaid with gemstones.

After coming out, she faced Emperor Yongsheng, the only foreign man in the ceremony, and made a formal salute. This is the third prayer.

This time it is to show the determination to inherit civilization and serve the country.

Emperor Yongsheng waited for a long time and didn't wait for Wang Jibao to say "Bao Mei loves the emperor's cousin", and he felt a little surprised. But then I was relieved. If Bao Mei really shouted this sentence, it would make people feel weird.

Emperor Yongsheng waved his hand and said, "Sister Bao doesn't have to be polite. Today, I will give you the word 'treasure', which means 'treasure'. ”

Wang Jibao respectfully knelt down and thanked: "Thank you Uncle Huang." When she raised her head, she blinked her eyes mischievously and said, "Sister Bao loves you too." ”

Belch?

"Okay." After Emperor Yongsheng said two good things in a row, he couldn't help laughing.

After that, Wang Jibao knelt in front of Wang Ziyi and Jiang and listened to their teachings.

Wang Ziyi, as a representative, said a few words to be filial to the elders, love the peers, and take care of the younger generations. He also instructed Wang Jibao to always miss the people and things in his hometown when he is in other places in the future, but what is more important is to take care of himself when his relatives are not around.

After he finished speaking, Wang Jibao replied: "Although my son is not sensitive, I dare not accept it!" ”。
