Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On this day, an uninvited guest came to the princess Wen Wan's palace. The palace sent a nanny's son to teach Wen Wan etiquette.  Wen Wan is confused.  At this time, my own etiquette is already very good, so what etiquette needs to be taught.

    "Princess Princess is really busy. In half a month, it will be your hair extension ceremony. This nanny is here to teach you the etiquette of hair extension ceremony." Xia Yu chuckled beside her.

    Wen Wan was embarrassed, she had really forgotten this moment.  I temporarily put down the work at hand and learned etiquette.  In ancient times, haircut ceremony also represented adulthood (in other words, no one will think you are underage).

    "In a few days, Wan'er will be a big girl. I remember the first time I saw you, you were still so tall, and now you are so big." The emperor drew a few strokes and sighed.

    Wen Wan chuckled, "No matter how old you are, in front of your uncle, Wen Wan is still a child who will never grow up, and you still need your uncle's protection."

    "What kind of gift do you want, as long as your uncle has it? Just ask." The emperor said boldly.  It's a pity that Wen Wan doesn't appreciate it and says she doesn't have what she wants.

    "How about going to the treasure house and looking for it." There is the richest collection of the royal family there, all of which are rare things, and Wen Wan should like them.

    ¡°Not interested, Uncle Emperor, I haven¡¯t played chess with you for a long time, why don¡¯t you play a game with me?¡± The two immediately started talking to each other.

    It¡¯s just an afternoon.  It delayed the emperor a lot, and the emperor was depressed.  Wen Wan was giggling and said that chopping wood was as good as sharpening a knife. The eunuch in charge lowered his head and snickered.

    "Uncle Emperor, the days are still long! Don't worry, take your time, I will do my best to help you. You must take care of yourself. Don't be so anxious. As the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, you must take good care of yourself.  Body." Wen Wan knew that the emperor was very diligent in government affairs, which made Wen Wan very worried.

    "Don't worry, uncle is sensible." The emperor said this.  There was a darkness in my heart.  How can I take my time? I don't have much time.

    August 1st.  Wen Wan lit incense on the memorial tablet of her princess early in the morning.  Today is her fifteenth birthday, which in ancient times meant becoming an adult woman.  After Wen Wan finished paying homage to his princess, everyone in the princess's mansion came up to kowtow and salute Wen Wan.  Gifts were given one after another.  Look at the various gifts such as rouge and gouache purses.  Wen Wan is quite interested.

    Just after finishing breakfast, I heard that Zhenzhen was coming over. Wen Wan complained a little, "What are you doing here with your body? What if you get fetal gas, but it's serious. How many times have I told you, don't do this."  I'm in a hurry to have a baby. I need to take good care of myself first. Why don't you listen? You're young now, what will you do when you get older?" Wen Wan was so depressed that she felt like she was pregnant again.  This is too disrespectful of one's own body and bones.

    "No. I was very gentle along the way. If I didn't come to watch your haircut ceremony, I would regret it for the rest of my life. I heard that many people were invited, all of whom are respectable people in the capital. This time, your hairpin ceremony will definitely be held.  Very decent." Zhenzhen said, holding Wen Wan's hand.

    Wen Wan shook her head and said that she didn¡¯t know anyone.  This issue.  It was the emperor who ordered the queen to take care of everything.  Originally, the emperor wanted to hold it in the palace.  Wen Wan thinks it¡¯s better to do it at home.

    "Okay, today I will help you greet the guests. You wait here slowly." Zhenzhen smiled and went out to greet the guests.

    Wen Wan became a little nervous when they did this to her.  Wen Wan said to herself, it's just a coming-of-age ceremony, there's nothing to be nervous about.  Thinking about it this way, a lot of the nervousness was relieved.

    Mrs. Jiang asked, "Do you know who the guest of honor is today?"

    Mrs. Yu smiled and said, "No need to ask, it must be the Queen. Who else in the world is more suitable than the Queen. However, I am curious about who this person is."

    Mrs. Cao looked outside and said, "I guess she may be the Duke's wife."

    Mrs. Fang said, "I guess not. I heard that the emperor attaches great importance to the hairpin ceremony of the princess. The guest of honor is the queen, so Yusi should also be the princess."

    "When it comes to princesses, the most noble one is naturally Princess Chun. She is the Iron Hat Princess." A lady continued.

    This time, the guests of the honorable family are all invited by the emperor.  Wen Wan only wanted to make friends with a few people.  Even so, more than twenty ladies came.  The scene was grand.

    With the sound of solemn music, the hair-raising ceremony officially began.  Only then did the people who came to view the gifts know.  The guest of honor is the Queen, Ruyu stands in the position of Secretary, and Meier stands in the position of praiser (Meier was decided by Wenwan).

    The first thing Wen Wan wore was a vermilion suit, a bun with a bun tied with a brocade ribbon of the same color, and a pair of ordinary cloth shoes on her feet.There was no decoration on the floor. Wen Wan found it quite interesting to sit in the room and listen to the music outside.

    Xia Yao saw excitement in Wen Wan's eyes, but the only thing she didn't have was nervousness.  I couldn't help but laugh.  Wenwan went out and saw no less than twenty people watching.  They are all ladies from Daqi.

    Someone is coming to say, please go out gently.

    Wen Wan arrived at the main hall, stood facing south, clasping her hands round, with her left hand on top, palms facing inward. When she leaned over to push her hands, she raised them slightly up to her forehead, and leaned over to thank the guests who came to watch the ceremony.

    After saluting, Wen Wan knelt and sat down facing west. Meier walked behind Wen Wan, combed her hair, and then placed the comb on the south side of the mat.

    Ruyu walked to Wenwan holding the ropa and hairpins. The queen also stood up, came to Wenwan, and said: "On the auspicious day of the month, you will start to add yuan. If you abandon your ambition, you will become virtuous. Longevity test  Wei Qi, Jie Er Jing Fu." Then he knelt down on the mat and combed Wen Wan's hair with hairpins. The hairpins were carved from a whole piece of suet jade. They were smooth and delicate, making her hair look even more beautiful.  Dark and soft.

    Wenwan followed the instructions and went to the east room.  When she came out again, she had changed into a goose-yellow skirt with no decorations on it.

    This part of the ceremony was originally about saluting parents.  But Ping Xiangxi happened to be seriously ill and couldn't get out of bed.  My mother has passed away a long time ago.  Therefore, at this stage, you only kneel down to your superiors.

    After the ceremony, Wen Wan knelt and sat down again facing the east. The queen took out the hairpin from the tray held by Ru Yu with her clean hands. It was a peony and jasper hairpin. With just one glance, she knew that it was the top quality among the fine products (later Wen Wan found out that  , that was the founding queen¡¯s favorite hairpin).

    The queen said, "The auspicious month and the day of the month are the days when Shen Erfu will be honored. You will be respectful and majestic, and Shu Shen will be virtuous. Your eyebrows will live for thousands of years, and you will be blessed forever."

    Mei'er removed the white jade hairpin from Wen Wanqiu's hair, and the queen put the hairpin on Wen Wanqiu's hair, then stood up and returned to her seat to sit down.

    Wen Wan stood up again and walked to the east room amid the bows of the guests.  This time the waiting time was a little longer. Wen Wan put on a deep brocade dress and was supported by Xia Yao as she walked out.

    The hem of the dark dress swayed slightly with the gentle steps, like the most delicate peony flower in bloom, showing its most beautiful side.

    This time Wenwan faced the queen and bowed.

    The queen looked kind. After Wen Wanqiu sat down and knelt down facing the east, she cleaned her hands again, took the Baifengchaohuang golden walking stick from the tray held in Ruyu's hand, walked to Wenwanqiu and said, "With the righteousness of the year,  With the order of the moon, Xian Jia obeyed. My brothers are here to achieve great virtues and receive the blessings of heaven."

    Meier stepped forward and took off the peony and jasper hairpin on Wen Wan's head. The queen inserted a hundred phoenixes and golden steps into Wen Wan's head, then stood up and returned to her position.

    The guests bowed, and Wenwan went back and changed into a red dress, tied with a black belt around her waist. It was the same as her usual clothes, a little loose, and it was light and comfortable to wear.

    This time Wen Wan faced the palace and knelt down to worship.  If it weren't for the lack of etiquette, the emperor would have wanted to attend.

    After Ruyu asked the maid to remove the hairpin ceremony decorations, a wine banquet was set up on the west steps. The queen asked Wenwan to sit down. Wenwan then stood on the west side, facing south. These things had already happened before today.  Grandma has learned it before and is no stranger to it either.  Moreover, she was not nervous, let alone scared.

    The queen stood on the left side of Wen Wan, waiting for Ru Yu to hold the wine glass before turning to the north. The queen took the wine glass and walked to Wen Wan, "The wine is thick, and I recommend it to you. Please worship and sacrifice it to determine your good fortune."  Bear the rest of the day and never forget the longevity test."

    After bowing gently, he took the wine glass.  After thinking it was over, Wen Wan knelt down at the table, spilled some wine on the ground, and then put the wine glass back on the table.

    After the ceremony was completed, Wenwan thanked the Queen, Crown Princess and Meier one by one.  The Queen held Wen Wan's hand lovingly and spoke softly.  After saying a few words, he was led to sit down.

    Wen Wan looked at it for a while and found that there were probably about twenty people.  Looking at their clothes, they all look like people with a mission.  Inside are Princess Hao, the Crown Princess, and the Crown Princess of Prince Chun.  All the noble ladies of the clan in the capital came.

    Wen Wan was secretly stunned that the emperor¡¯s uncle had invited so many people here.  However, all those who came were noble ladies from the capital.  This scene is probably even better than the princess's pomp.

    After the greetings, it was time for Queen Tianse to return to the palace. The queen smiled and said, "Wan'er, walk around the palace more often. My aunt has rarely seen you for several months. Your uncle always complains that he can't see your shadow. Don't do this in the future.  , If you keep doing this, not only will your aunt be annoyed, but your uncle will also be annoyed."

    Wen Wan pursed her lips and smiled.

    Ru Yu smiled and answered, "From today on, Wen Wan is a big girl. She is not as carefree as before."

    Meier smiled and pointed out, "At the end of the year,It's time to talk about marriage. I wonder which boy is lucky enough to take our princess home as his wife.  "

    Mrs. Cao said, "Then it depends on whether my Song'er is so lucky."

    As soon as Mrs. Cao said this, the ladies next to her looked strange.  He said this without fear of flashing his tongue.  Some ladies got the instruction and asked with a smile what to say.  The late emperor did not propose marriage to Wen Wan. If the late emperor had anything to say, he would wait until he was fifteen.

    "The late emperor once said that if my son can get into the top three, he will give the princess to my son. Although it is difficult for my son to get into the top three, it is not too difficult for my son to get into the top three." Mrs. Cao looked at her.  Several ladies sitting there had burning eyes, and they hurriedly threw a huge bomb, which caused many people to faint on the spot.  (To be continued)
