Chapter 66: The Wedding Gift
Back in the Nuanwen Pavilion, Zhu Qing hurriedly brought out the embroidery frame. He muttered worriedly, "It's April 22 now, and the clothes that Miss embroidered for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have not yet been completed." It's time for the young lady to tighten up, and in a few days it's time to sort out the dowry. ”
Wen Han was a little irritable, and only ordered, "Go and bring the basin of water, so that you can wash your hands before you can get the embroidery thread." ”
Zhu Qing's face was happy, "Yes, the slave will go." ”
The clothes embroidered for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are naturally based on dragon patterns. Wen Jin chose a moon-white brocade. On weekdays, looking at the clothes of His Royal Highness the Prince, most of them are light-colored and low-key. So Wen Han can be regarded as a favorite.
Zhu Qing sneered, "Others embroider things for their future husbands, and they have always been all year round, even there are a lot of shoes and socks sachets, but our young lady only embroidered one set and coped with things." ”
Wen Han smiled faintly, "He is the prince, can he still be without clothes, there is no shortage of embroidery girls in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I am too lazy to move, just this set, it is enough for me to be annoyed." ”
Zhu Qing hurriedly smiled, "Okay, okay, whatever the young lady says." It's just that I don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be able to pick out the craftsmanship of the young lady after she gets married. ”
Bamboo leaves also echoed, "It's hard for me to see it, among so many things, Miss only embroidered one set." After all, it's a needle in a haystack and you can't find the bottom! ”
As soon as Zhu Ye said this, the three masters and servants all burst out laughing.
For three days in a row, Miss Wen Han was embroidering the dowry. Until April 25, Wen Han's embroidery had just been completed, and Xiangye brought the dowry list.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs has prepared a 119 dowry gift, which was sent from the Prince's Mansion, and it will also be used as a dowry in the future. Xiangye prepared forty-five lifts for Wenjin, and just made up one hundred and sixty-four dowries.
Thinking about this dowry, it can be regarded as the first one in the Western Chu Kingdom. Wen Han felt that this was too ostentatious, but Xiangye felt that the crown princess should be ostentatious when she got married.
On April 26, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent the embroidered wedding dress to the Prime Minister's Mansion along with the phoenix crown and the Xia veil. Miss Wen Han tried them one by one, and after they all fitted, she ordered someone to put them away properly.
There were still ten days left, and Wen Han was a little nervous. Even though her heart is like stagnant water, marrying for the first time is still extremely important to her.
According to the custom of Western Chu, it is not appropriate for men and women to see each other before they get married, so Wen Han has been staying in the house and pushing off all the entertainment.
Despite being in the depths of the boudoir, Wen Han still heard the news from the outside, Jinghe County Lord liked His Royal Highness the Prince, and because the marriage failed, he forced him to die.
The biological mother of the county lord of Jinghe is the sister of the eldest princess of Chaoyang, and the mother of the county lord of Jinghe died early, so the eldest princess of Chaoyang has always loved the county lord of Jinghe as her own daughter.
Jinghe and the county lord forced each other to die, and Princess Chaoyang had no choice but to ask the emperor to give Jinghe the prince a side concubine.
With the eldest princess of Chaoyang coming forward, and only asking for the position of side concubine, the emperor naturally responded. Just wait for the third day after the crown princess passes the door, and the county lord Jinghe will enter the prince's mansion.
Zhu Qing couldn't hold her breath, "I'm really angry, this Jinghe County Lord is so shameless and hypocritical." What do you say is forced to die, and the dead face wants to marry His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
Zhu Ye was also annoyed, "Lord Jinghe, is this sincere to block the young lady?" It's not good when to die, but at this juncture. ”
Wen Han just smiled indifferently, "She's also an infatuated lover, I just hope she won't regret her decision today." ”
Zhu Qing nagged again, "Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only likes the young lady alone, even if Jinghe marries the county lord, there is no good fruit for her to eat." ”
Wen Han was a little tired, "Okay, no need to say it again, what's there to be angry about." Now he is just the crown prince, and in the future, he will ascend the throne and become the emperor, and the three palaces and six courts are all common things. If everyone is angry, won't they be angry? ”
As soon as Wen Han said this, Zhuqing and Zhuye couldn't help but be silent, with red eyes and a look of grievance.
With the talent of the young lady, if she does not marry into the palace gate, but only marries the son of an ordinary family, she can be married to a harmonious husband and wife, and she can be harmonious.
Although Miss is now the crown princess and the future queen, it is difficult to determine whether it is a blessing or a curse for Miss.
The old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion went, and it was originally not suitable for children and grandchildren to get married, but the emperor's decree was the most important. So in the same year that the old lady of the Xiangfu died, on the sixth day of the fifth month, the eldest daughter of the Xiangfu, Su Wenhan, also got married.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to greet him in person, and the princess wore a phoenix crown and a red headscarf to completely cover her face, and was supported by the maid to sit on the sedan chair.
The etiquette of welcoming relatives is extremely cumbersome, and the emperor and the queen, as well as the concubines and concubines, are here. After a few hours, it can be regarded as the end of worshipping heaven and earth, worshipping the high hall, and after the husband and wife worship each other, it can be regarded as a ceremony. The bridegroom sent the bride into the cave room.
Eating and drinking, the emperor and the palace ladies returned to the palace after the luncheon, and the rest of the people ate until the night, just waiting for the cave room.
King Qi and the Fifth Prince said with a smile, "Third Emperor Brother, when will we meet the imperial sister-in-law?" ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a little drunk, and only shook his head and said, "I'm tired, don't make trouble today, you go back!" ”
King Qi and the five princes were bored, but they couldn't refute the prince's intentions, so they had to leave in a huff.
His Royal Highness King Qin and the second prince, King Zhuang, were also present, and seeing that the prince didn't want them to play, they got up and took their leave.
King Qin's legs and feet were not good, but they did not hinder walking. At this time, King Qin walked to the side of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and said in words, "The imperial brother is really lucky and blessed!" ”
"Congratulations on the prince's wedding." King Qin suddenly became serious.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also returned the salute, "Thank you, Brother Emperor." ”
In the past, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was assassinated, and his body was highly poisonous, the prince did not suspect King Qin, but it didn't matter whether it was King Qin or not, the important thing was that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still alive and well, and King Qin was just stealing his life.
Therefore, as long as King Qin keeps to himself, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will naturally let him go and let him live a good life in the future.
The second prince, King Zhuang, has always been honest and responsible, not smart enough, but more than conservative. With such a character, although he can't be the emperor, he can be a free prince under the hands of any brother. In this way, it can be regarded as his blessing.
King Zhuang saluted respectfully and said, "Brother Huang, Brother Huang will leave first." ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also benevolent, "Brother Huang walks slowly." ”
Hui Yaxuan is the courtyard of the main mother of the prince's mansion. Zhuye cautiously walked in and whispered, "The guest has already left, presumably His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will come over in a while." ”
Wen Han was silent until a quarter of an hour later, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walked in from outside. Zhu Ye Zhuqing carefully waited for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to pick up the red hijab of the crown princess, and then quietly retreated.
Wen Han had delicate makeup painted on his face, but there was no expression on his face.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took two wine glasses and handed one of them to the Crown Princess's hand, "It's time to drink a glass of wine." ”
Wen Han let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince guide and swallowed a glass of wine. The bitter sensation when it passed through his throat instantly surged up, Wen Han couldn't help coughing softly, and his eyes turned red.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gently patted Wen Han on the back and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" ”
Wen Han shook his head and said with an embarrassed face, "It's okay, let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince laugh." ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said naturally, "You and I are husband and wife, why do you have to laugh at each other?" ”
Wen Han was stunned, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled. "It's time to sleep."
Wen Han's heart tightened, and he stared straight into the eyes of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince couldn't help but carry Wen Han to bed, and he also lay down and slept.
One night, I slept with my clothes closed. Wen Han couldn't sleep, and Chu Lingxuan couldn't sleep either.
It was hard to stay up until the morning, but Chu Lingxuan cut his fingers with a dagger, dripping blood onto the plain white brocade.
Wen Han twisted his eyebrows, but Chu Lingxuan explained, "Give the palace an explanation, so that you don't get seen as a joke." ”
Wen Han's heart warmed, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince, for your thoughtfulness for Wen Han." ”
Chu Lingxuan laughed like a coquett, "I didn't force you last night, shouldn't you also exchange some conditions?" ”
Wen Han's face changed slightly, "I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants?" ”
Chu Lingxuan pretended to be proud, and said beamingly, "One of them is that don't call me His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, just call me Ling Xuan!" Or the husband, the husband, and the husband are all good. ”
Chu Lingxuan pretended to be generous and listed many options.
Wen Han said indifferently, "Then from now on, Wen Han will call His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Ling Xuan!" ”
Chu Lingxuan's sword eyebrows raised slightly, "It's okay." ”
"Qingqing Zijin, relax my heart. I give you a word, how about "Zijin"? ”
In the custom of Western Chu, after the woman and the Xu, the father can take the word, or the husband can take the word. Now Chu Lingxuan is exercising his power.
Wen Han didn't want to explore this matter too much, so he just nodded, "Okay." ”
Chu Lingxuan laughed, "Then from now on, I will call you "Zijin". The word "Wen Han" does not need to be called anymore. ”
Wen Han did not compromise on this, and said calmly, "The word Wen Han is my name, although I have a word now, I can't forget my name, and I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to understand." ”
Chu Lingxuan was a little annoyed, "Even if you don't want to give up your name, have you forgotten the first point I mentioned to you just now?" ”
Wen Han immediately reacted, "Zijin doesn't want to give up his name, and he also hopes that Ling Xuan won't blame him." ”
Chu Lingxuan's expression eased at this time, "I need to enter the palace to meet today, don't miss the hour, we should go." ”
As he spoke, Chu Lingxuan took Zijin's hand and walked to the carriage. "The carriage can only drive to the gate of the palace, and the rest of the road needs to be walked. When you enter the palace today, you have to go to the queen's mother first, and then go to Yi Concubine. ”
Wen Han listened to Chu Lingxuan's instructions, and only nodded in response.
The carriage moved slowly without the slightest bump. Chu Lingxuan saw that Zijin's body was tense, so he comforted, "You don't have to be nervous, it's just a tea ceremony on the etiquette, and the queen mother and Yi Concubine won't be embarrassed by you." ”
Wen Han still nodded, "Got it." ”
