dowry
The second day after coming here was the day Princess Xiliang got married.
For this big day, we have to get up early in the morning to start freshening up, or maybe the princess is married to the maid, dress up to be extravagant, and there is a special grandmother to come to the small courtyard to dress up for us, and after a while, we came to the princess's bedroom dressed neatly and luxuriously.
——
After entering the palace gate and entering the inner room, the princess was already sitting quietly in front of the dresser, waiting for the palace maid to serve, and her waist-length long hair was scattered behind her head, which was particularly beautiful.
We stood next to each other, a row of palace maids came with toiletries, and the princess got up and washed up step by step, I have to say, royal princess, this elegance is unmatched.
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen palace maids dressed in festive clothes walked in, all of them carrying trays covered with red cloth, on which were placed headdresses, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings and other jewelry, standing on both sides.
And a female official knelt down and asked for a "please take a bath first"
Then, there were two palace maids who lifted the gold wire curtain on the inside of the dormitory, which was really a big bathtub, which was a bit embarrassing, after all, so many people watched a person take a bath, but as a princess, it should be taken for granted.
But the princess went in on her own, and commanded that the curtain should be lowered, and that no one should be allowed to go in and serve.
After a while, the beauty who had just come out of the bath was even more tender like a lotus flower, dressed in a fiery red gold silk embroidered gauze.
The female officer helped the princess back to the dresser, and began to gently comb her hair, coiling her hair up, and curling it into a flying phoenix bun.
After coiling the hair, he put the gold velvet flower aside, inserted a bead phoenix gold step, picked up the gold phoenix and pinned it to the back of his head, and then inserted a lot of hairpins, and finally put on a string of ruby tassel eyebrow pendants, and picked up a pair of the same tassel earrings and put them on.
After putting on the headdress, the female officials put on the princess a piece of light and silky clothes, and finally put on the extraordinarily luxurious red wedding dress.
After arranging her clothes, the female officer picked up a string of pearls from the jewelry box and placed it around her neck, followed by several strings of red agate beads.
The princess raised her hand slightly, and the bracelets and rings were put on one by one, rich and luxurious, and her demeanor was thousands.
......
After dressing up for a long time, a little eunuch ran in from outside the door and said to the female official, "Auntie, the auspicious time has arrived."
The lady carefully looked at the princess from top to bottom, and finally expressed her satisfaction with "grace and luxury, dignified and charming".
She said very seriously, and squatted down to put on a pair of red shoes embroidered with gold and jade inlaid for the princess.
At this time, the princess was as beautiful as a goddess, but she had no expression from beginning to end, and she didn't look like she was going to get married.
"Princess, the king is now outside, you need to say goodbye to your family, then go to Fengren, go around the imperial city, be worshiped by the people, and then worship by the hundred officials, Fang left Xiliang, Yu Linwei is already waiting at the foot of the imperial city, escorting the princess to Nanyan"
The female official stood in front of the princess, and when she finished speaking, she knelt down and bowed.
The princess reacted a little and nodded, and several other female officials came up and helped the princess out, followed by a few of our maids.
The door of the main hall has slowly opened......
There were several rows of people standing in the dark outside the door, led by one person wearing gorgeous costumes and a golden crown.
"Si Yuwu'er, you are my princess Xiliang, and now married to Nanyan Murong, you must remember to be your father's precepts, and you will achieve friendship between the two countries......
It turned out that this old king of Xiliang was marrying a daughter to protect his country in order to seek stability, and it seemed that it was another political marriage.
"Obey my father's orders" The princess only said four words, and then she was held by the two female officials and knelt down, and made a big bow to King Xiliang, which was regarded as a farewell.
"Princess, it's time to get on the sedan chair"
The female official reminded her, and she was picked up and walked to the front of the main hall step by step.
There is a large sedan chair of 12 people in front of it, and there is a long team of people and horses, musicians, palace maids, eunuchs, and then there is a column of troops standing behind, the sedan chair is surrounded by yellow gauze curtains and bead curtains on all sides, and the four phoenixes on the top of the sedan chair spread their wings and fly high, which is very luxurious.
This honor guard is huge and magnificent, and when I arrived here, I also saw a big scene.
"Congratulations to the princess" The officials knelt down one after another, and the princess looked at it indifferently and sat in the sedan chair.
The sound of gongs and drums and cheers continued, and the four of us stood beside the sedan chair.
When they got out of the palace, the imperial city was crowded with people, chanting incessantly, and the guards lined up on both sides, stopping the people aside.
When they arrived at the gate of the imperial city, the hundred officials were already waiting in front of the city gate, and with the worship of everyone, the procession swept out of the city gate......
Ten miles of red makeup, great pomp!
When we arrived outside the city, the sedan chair was replaced by a tall and gorgeous carriage, and the four of us maids also sat in the carriage in order to serve the princess, and the carriage was extraordinarily luxurious and had everything.
After half a day, the car has crossed the border, and it is getting farther and farther away from Xiliang.
"Princess, would it be nice for the slave to peel an apple for you?"
As soon as Zheng and Jin Se got into the carriage, they began to be courteous to the princess, we have never served the princess, and in the future, life in Nanyan will be both prosperous and lossy, and they naturally wish to be trusted by the princess.
But this princess seems to be very faceless, and she never pays attention to the two of them from beginning to end.
I sat in the corner a little strange, after all, I was going to a strange place, how could I not bring people from close friends, but four maids who had never been in contact with me?
Then in the evening, I went to the post station, rested at the post station and set off in the morning, this road was upside down, and it was indeed not easy for the princess to be close to her.
We spent two days with the princess, and the princess only spoke to me, and on the third day, when the princess was resting in her room, she asked me and Fluttershy to wake me up, but Fluttershy pushed me out if she didn't want to.
Reluctantly, he came to the princess's room, gently pushed the door in, and the room was very quiet.
Quietly came to the room, the princess was lying on the couch to rest, she had changed into another pink dress, very beautiful, her face was well maintained, fair and shiny, not even a little acne spot could not be seen, I walked to her lightly, lowered my head and looked carefully.
Before I could think of it, the princess opened her eyes as if she realized something, and looked at me in astonishment, and I hurriedly knelt down, bowing my head nervously and fearfully.
"Get up," she said to me gently, and I stood up again and bent over respectfully, "Princess, it's time for supper."
"What's your name?" she sat up and looked at me, and I looked at her and immediately lowered my head again, "The slave is called Xiaoyu."
"My nickname is Si Yan," I listened to the princess's self-introduction, and became even more apprehensive.
"Have you always lived in the palace?" the princess's next sentence made me even more stunned, and I couldn't help but look up at her again, but she smiled at this time, "I don't mean anything else, let's eat......"
Later, I thought about it, this princess is very mysterious.
One day later, the family sending team came to the territory of Nanyan, and I have to say that Nanyan is indeed much more prosperous than Xiliang.
