November 16th is auspicious and suitable for getting married.
The emperor has long decreed that no red or happy events are allowed in the city on this day, no matter whether it is the princes, nobles, civil and military officials, or ordinary people. The emperor did this to show Wen Wan's uniqueness and to give Wen Wan the greatest honor as a married woman, because in this way the nobility of a married woman was demonstrated.
Wen Wan was sleeping soundly when someone pulled her up, cleaned her face, and threw her into the water to take a bath. Took a fragrant bath. After getting dressed, continue to close your eyes and let them do it slowly.
The Crown Princess directed Wen Wan and the six maids around, and also asked her to bring the maids with her. The maids were not allowed to stop for a moment. Now, Yongning Palace was busy with people coming and going, but it was orderly and organized. This shows the quality of the palace maids trained by Wen Wan.
The Crown Princess requested it herself. She didn't want Concubine Wen and Concubine Qi to make arrangements. I always feel uncomfortable. The Queen, of course, doesn't even consider it. After much deliberation, Ruyu was the most suitable. Anyway, Zheng Yu's status is enough. The emperor naturally agreed to Wen Wan's request.
It wasn¡¯t until grandma pinched Wen Wan¡¯s face that Wen Wan finally woke up from the pain. Frowning, it took a lot of patience to hold back from getting angry.
Grandma looked at Wen Wan and her face darkened. She used five-color cotton thread to carefully twist his noodles as gently as possible, then washed them with warm water and started to apply makeup. Wen Wan watched them dressing herself up.
"I have already asked someone to send you a message. Don't make my face as white as a wall, and don't make me as red as a monkey's butt so that it makes you want to vomit. No matter how beautiful you are, you can aim at it. Ben I don¡¯t have the hobby of letting people scribble on their faces.¡± After saying this, the ladies who were dressing up knew what she was doing, and started applying powder, eyebrows, and rouge carefully.
"Xia Ying. Pour me a glass of water and ask them to bring breakfast. I'm hungry." Wen Wan didn't know what time it was, but she felt hungry and thirsty anyway. Unexpectedly, there was no water, so I brought two or three cherries.
"Princess, the etiquette is very complicated today. What if you have to go to the toilet on the way. Therefore, grandma told me that you can't drink water today. Just bear with it." Wen Wan's eyebrows stood up after hearing this, and she didn't want to be like this. They are not even allowed to drink water. Isn't this life-threatening? While waiting for breakfast, I was given two dry pieces of pastry and a few bites of vegetables. Dry food is rarely allowed to be eaten. Food is not allowed to be eaten too much. He said he was afraid that the bride would feel uncomfortable with thirst. It is also troublesome to drink water and go to the toilet.
Wen Wan mentally wails, how can there be such a rule. If you do this until night, you won't kill everyone. What is this called getting married? It's better to just say it and suffer.
Before they were done, Wen Wan was hungry and devastated again. Xia Ying hurriedly got some snacks to fill Wen Wan's stomach. The candied date cake was cut into small pieces, just enough to fit in your mouth.
"Why is it so slow? How long will it take?" Wen Wan feels like she is just a rag doll now. You have to be at their mercy. After working on it for a long time, I still haven't finished it.
"Princess, please be patient, it will be fine after a while." The maid doing her manicure comforted her softly. There's more than just manicures. There was also a pedicure and manicure, and I only had to shave a layer of skin all over my body.
"What time is it now?" Wen Wan asked strangely.
"It's now two quarters to noon (12 o'clock noon). I guess the Bai family's wedding sedan has come out." The Bai family is away from the palace and it takes two hours to go back and forth, so they need to come out earlier.
"You guys have been messing around until it's too late." Wen Wan doesn't even know the time. Wen Wan was very impatient, but there was nothing she could do.
Finally, when I finished it, I took a look in the mirror and fainted. This is not me, it is simply another person.
Ruyu couldn¡¯t stop praising the bride, ¡°She¡¯s so beautiful, she¡¯s such a beautiful bride.¡± They all praised her. Divination according to the rules. The auspicious time for worship is set at the first quarter of Xu (7:15 pm).
At this time, the Bai Mansion was also very lively. After the White Mansion was renovated, it became spacious and grand. Even the vegetation and landscapes in the back garden were very unique and lovely. At this time, the servants in the mansion were busy, setting up lights and colors everywhere, and they were full of joy, just to welcome the arrival of the mistress.
The wife invited by the Bai family to get married is currently the second grandma of Song Mansion, the Minister of Etiquette, a "Full Blessed Person". At noon (one o'clock in the afternoon), after the ceremony of ringing the house with three gongs, the bride first went to the heaven and earth table to burn incense and kowtow. Then he stood sideways at the table and invited the groom, Bai Shinian, to come over and kowtow three times to the Jade Emperor and other gods enshrined on the heaven and earth table. Afterwards, the bride lights lanterns and performs a series of procedures of "lighting up the sedan chair", "lighting the sedan chair", "smoking the sedan chair" and "pressing the sedan chair" to ward off evil spirits, and the wedding sedan chair officially sets off.
Amidst the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers, the wedding sedan arrived at the palace. Because it was a palace wedding, all the imperial guards were dispatched that day, and 20,000 people were mobilized from the forward battalion to maintain law and order. Therefore, there were rows and rows of soldiers all the way. If Wen Wan saw it, she would definitely say, where is this?Getting married is clearly like a military parade.
Wenwan got married from the palace, but whether she is a princess or a princess, there are a set of rules for getting married. So it is warm and festive, but also with rules.
At this time, Wen Wan has put on her wedding dress, put on her phoenix crown, and hung her longevity lock around her neck. A big red apple in the left hand symbolizes peace; a vase in the right hand symbolizes wealth and good fortune. When you hear the sound of gongs and drums, everyone here is ready to continue.
Bai Shinian came to pick up the bride after sending red envelopes full of wedding money.
The Crown Princess is still inspecting carefully: "The auspicious lock and the wish-fulfilling ring, check these things carefully, be sure not to leave them behindI have brought everything with me!"
Xiniang stepped forward and urged: "It's time to say goodbye to the emperor." The queen was still lying down to recover from her illness! Wen Wan is very embarrassed, is it a coincidence or intentional?
The Crown Princess whispered from the side, "Wen Wan, don't be nervous, relax."
Wenwan said to herself, there is nothing to be nervous about, it¡¯s just getting married! Even though she said this, her heart was beating faster, so fast that she almost didn't know what to do.
Wen Wan Zhi Neng said comforting herself. This is the first time in my life that I am getting married. It's normal to be nervous, but it would be strange not to be nervous.
Wen Wan was helped out by Xia Yao. When they arrived at the main hall, everyone was amazed. This time Wenwan has not covered her head. Only the phoenix crown is visible, and the pearls and corals hanging down from the phoenix crown form an alternative veil covering the face. You can still vaguely see the magnificent and beautiful appearance, plus the noble temperament, paired with this luxurious, gorgeous and lifelike wedding dress, which makes people dare not hold their breath for a moment. Head.
Wen Wan knelt down and kowtowed three times, her eyes full of tears, "Uncle Emperor."
"But you can't cry. If your makeup is smeared, you won't be beautiful anymore. My Wenwan wants to be the most beautiful bride." The emperor's eyes were full of reluctance. He smiled and walked down to help Wenwan. He got up and said, "I hope that as long as you and your wife are harmonious and beautiful, you will have a son soon. My uncle will feel at ease."
Wen Wan choked and replied "Yes." Xia Yao immediately handed over a handkerchief, and Wen Wan quickly wiped away her tears. But you can¡¯t really ruin your makeup.
Xiniang covered her head with a hijab. The hijab was not a mandarin duck hijab, but a dragon and phoenix. The auspicious Xipa of dragons and phoenixes came down, and for a moment, there was a loud sound of joy.
Wen Wan lowered her head and lay on the prince's back. According to the rules, the bride's brother and uncle are required to carry her into the sedan chair. This task should have been Shang Tang's errand. It's a pity that Wenwan left the Taira family, and Shangtang was no longer Wenwan's elder brother legally. Therefore, Shangtang cannot take on this responsibility. Therefore, this glorious task was entrusted to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Yongning Palace was filled with joy, shouting loudly: "The princess is very happy!"
The prince carefully picked up Wen Wan, walked out of the palace gate step by step with steady steps, and gently placed her in the eight-carriage sedan with carved dragons and painted phoenixes.
The sedan was lifted up and out of the palace. Eighty-one palace ladies were seen holding auspicious handles, followed by a row of people, meandering forward.
Immediately afterwards, the honor guard held high various canopies and marched forward like umbrellas. Behind them is the band, playing and playing along the way. Then, there was the eight-carriage sedan supported by the twelve Xi Niangs respectively. The formation was absolutely grand.
The honor guard opened the way and Luan Yiwei escorted them. The street had already been cleared by the imperial guards. Both sides of the escort team were already filled with people who came to watch the excitement.
The people sent by the emperor sprinkled sugar on both sides, and the fragrant wind continued to cheer. For these people, today is a rare lively event. Being able to watch such a grand wedding is a rare occasion in a hundred years. The prince's marriage to the prince's concubine was not so grand. Grab the candies and go home to be a little festive. Everyone was rushing to grab candies, and it was very lively. However, the order was not chaotic. There was no stampede. Because of today, Fu Yin is worried to death.
Because the rule is to carry the bride back from the bride's house, the newlyweds cannot go back from the original route, which means there is no turning back, so they have to take a detour, and the wedding sedan walks slowly on the road.
Since Wen Wan came here, she has basically been riding in a carriage, and the carriage has always traveled smoothly. Unsteady, he rode on his own. You can only sit in a sedan chair on flat ground and you won't be able to sit there for a long time.
This time, I had to sit in a sedan chair for two hours. Although the sedan driver¡¯s skills were good, the sedan chair was very stable and very warm. Wen Wan was sitting in the sedan chair and heard the thunderous sound outside. Her head was buzzing and she felt The whole person felt light and airy.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out. He kept shouting, don't be nervous, don't be nervous, but his heart was beating "bang bang bang bang" uncontrollably. It symbolizes gentleness, not really calmness.
Wen Wan thought to herself that she was married now, but she couldn't get married in modern times, but she married twice in ancient times, and she married the same person.
Although the bearer walked steadily, he?There were bumps, it was such a long journey. After half an hour, all the stuff in Wen Wan's stomach was knocked out. The sedan was heavy and heavy, making it uncomfortable. Fortunately, Wen Wan had been warned early, so she took out a secret jar from the secret cabinet in the sedan chair and took a pickle to eat. I felt better after eating two pieces. If you feel uncomfortable, eat two more pieces.
"This is not a marriage, this is what makes people suffer. I will never get married a third time." Wen Wan vowed secretly in her heart (don't even think about it, you can't get married even if you want to. Unless your husband dies and remarries) .
PS: Last night there was an additional update of 300 pink tickets. I forgot to mention it yesterday, sorry. (To be continued)(To be continued)
