I want to be a grandson

Chapter 466 The Crown Prince's Wedding!

"No matter what your Highness says, slaves don't dare, and the world should not wrong good people."

This was in private, and there was no one else in the hall, so Zhao Mingzhu showed her charming side again.

"However, Your Highness, if the servants pass by, they won't be able to serve you by your side..."

Zhu Yunxi hurriedly said: "How can it be done! Going to learn the rules and forget the lonely king? You have to know that you will come back after you finish your studies, and you can't escape the palm of the lonely king!"

Zhao Mingzhu blushed, pursed her red lips and said, "I can't forget it, how dare I forget it, what I mean by the slave, someone from the harem said that the slave should go to learn the rules during the day, and serve in the East Palace for the rest of the time..."

"Oh, really……"

Zhu Yunxi showed a look of understanding, so the arrangement is reasonable.

After all, there is still some time before the big wedding, and there is no one around to warm the bed, and the quilt is cold, so how can it be done in case of wind and cold!

"The lonely king's legs are numb, come and beat my legs... My stomach is a bit cold, let's warm it up first..."

"Your Highness..."

Zhu Yunxi lifted the quilt over her stomach, and covered her hair thoughtfully. It's cold, so keep warm...

……

Time passed quickly, and it was winter in a blink of an eye.

Before getting married, you need to sue the temple.

Such an important matter as the prince and concubine should be reported to the ancestors, so that it is justified. In addition, it is also prayed that the ancestors can protect the descendants to flourish.

Then there will be a ceremony of offering sacrifices to the gods, offering sacrifices to the heavens with wine;

To put it bluntly, this is actually a way to salute the elders.

Zhu Yunxi wanted to perform the sacrificial ceremony, and Xu Miaojin also had to do the same.

On the day of getting married, the Xu family will first go to the ancestral hall to display sacrifices, and then Xu Miaojin will go to the ancestral hall to pay homage to the ancestors, pay homage, and read the congratulatory speech.

After performing these rituals, someone would bring food and wine into the room and invite her to eat. At this time, she only needs to eat a little symbolically, and then she will go to the main hall and kneel down to her parents.

But because her parents were gone, she was faced with two empty chairs.

After bowing four times, Xu Huizu said instead: "When you go to Da Nei, you must be diligent and prudent day and night, and don't violate your filial piety..."

After Xu Miaojin listened to the admonition and teaching, he returned the salute and prayed again, so that it was completed.

Xu Huizu said: "Sister, Lord Chen will come back to greet you later, sister please go to the front hall."

"Yes, brother."

At this time, in the East Palace, there were lights and festoons, and there was a joyous atmosphere.

Every court lady and eunuch's face is full of smiles, the emperor's grandson gets married, they can get a lot of rewards!
Zhu Yunxi, as the grandson of the emperor, is the heir apparent of the Ming Dynasty, and all etiquette and rules are carried out in accordance with the rules of the prince.

At this time, he was wearing nine chapters of crowns, nine crowns, nine jades, gold hairpin guides, red tassels, two jade rings, and the jade kui in his hand was nine inches and five minutes long.

Zhu Yunxi asked, "What should we do next?"

Li Fu bowed beside him and replied: "His Highness, according to the etiquette of ordinary people, he should be greeted in person, but His Highness is honorable, so it is not suitable to go far away, so the imperial court sent Chen Di to greet him, His Highness just needs to go to Chengtian Gate later It's also a welcome..."

"Well, I see..." Zhu Yunxi said.

After the first five ceremonies, the highlight is the personal welcome.

If it is an ordinary family, the groom usually takes the welcoming team to pick up the bride at his father-in-law's house. When Zhu Yunxie arrives, because he is the prince and has the highest status, he does not greet him personally.

Instead, a minister with sons and daughters was sent as a representative to welcome the relatives, and this official was Chen Di.

The imperial palace had already been decorated with lanterns and festoons, and all the main palaces were fully prepared with firecrackers, red gilded double happiness characters, and large candles, and red felt was spread on the imperial road.

At this time, outside the palace, Ren Hengtai, the minister of rites, read out a congratulatory message, announcing that the auspicious time had arrived, and the guard of honor and the drum band walked in front of the welcoming procession.

As the welcoming messenger, Chen Di lived in the middle, followed by welcoming officials, eunuchs, and guards.

After leaving the Meridian Gate, together with the concubine's guard of honor prepared, they carried a large number of gifts and went straight to Duke Wei's mansion.

Xu Huizu will lead the whole family, old and young, to kneel at the gate to meet the welcoming team, and the welcoming envoy will proclaim loudly,
Xu Miaojin was dressed in the concubine's gown, wearing a phoenix crown and Xiapei, and knelt down to accept the gold book and gold treasure. When the auspicious time came, the group returned to the imperial city.

At this time in the East Palace, a palace maid reported: "His Royal Highness, Yi Chong has already returned."

Li Fudao: "Your Highness, the welcoming team has returned, Your Highness should follow the etiquette and go to greet them in person to show grandeur."

"Let's go, lead the way!"

Zhu Yunxi went to Chengtianmen to greet her, because it is very important to greet her in person, which shows respect for women.

This etiquette has continued from the pre-Qin period to the present. If the ceremony of welcoming the bride is not held, it is not a complete wedding, and the wedding does not conform to the rules of etiquette.

When Zhu Yunxi came to Chengtianmen, he could see the welcoming team approaching from a distance.

After the sedan chair was lowered, the maid greeted Xu Miaojin who was inside the sedan chair, and Zhu Yunxie went up, and the two stood side by side.

At this time, the ritual vessel rang, and the officials of the Ministry of Rituals read out the speech...

The bridesmaid tied two red flowers with red cloth, and connected them with red cloth in the middle, and each of them held a red flower.

Xu Miaojin had a hijab on her head, although Zhu Yunxi couldn't see what was going on, but from her slightly trembling hands, she could tell that she must be very nervous!
So he said softly: "Relax, don't be nervous..."

Xu Miaojin didn't speak, but hummed lightly, the voice was barely audible.

Although it was winter, the newcomer under the red hijab was sweating finely on Qiong's nose, but after hearing this comforting words, the tension was relieved a lot.

After that, the two boarded the sedan chair and drove all the way to the Meridian Gate. Surrounded by the palace people, they went to Fengtian Hall to hold the ceremony.

Zhu Yunxi was on the left, and Xu Miaojin was on the right. When saluting, both of them kept this order.

In ancient times, whether "left" or "right" was respected was not static. In different periods and times, there were different regulations and differences.

During the Zhou, Qin, and Western Han Dynasties, "You" was respected, so the royal relatives and nobles were called "You" relatives, and the aristocratic families were called "You Clan" or "You Surname".The respect of the right and the inferiority of the left are manifested in the buildings and residences. The wealthy and aristocratic families must live on the right of the urban area, and ordinary people must live on the left of the urban area.

Seating in the officialdom pays attention to the difference between superiority and inferiority, which is very strict.A high official means a high position, and a low official means a low position.The ancients respected the right and respected the right, and "moving to the left" means demoting officials.

From the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Sui, Tang, and Song Dynasties, the system of left superiority and right inferior gradually formed. During this period, the left servant was higher than the right servant, and the left prime minister was higher than the right prime minister.

As for a related poem written by Li Bai, it is called "Wen Wang Changling left Qianlong Biaoyao has this message"

At that time, Wang Changling was demoted because of trivial matters in life. The reason why Li Bai adopted "Zuoqian" may be to imitate the ancients in poetry.

After the Mongols established the Yuan Dynasty, they changed the old system and stipulated that the right should be respected. At that time, the prime minister of the right was above the prime minister of the left.

Zhu Yuanzhang overthrew the Yuan Dynasty and restored the old system, so at this time the left is respected.

Under the gaze of everyone, the two newlyweds slowly stepped into Fengtian Hall. Under the reflection of the feather fan, both of their faces were blushing. This was the biggest event in their lives. Excited.

If it weren't for the feather fan covering the face and the red cloth covering the head, otherwise, under the gaze of so many people, I'm afraid I would really be at a loss.

Although outsiders don't know about it, it's hard to hide the nervous and joyful smile on that pretty face...

As a groom who "shows his face", Zhu Yunxi gradually calmed down except for the nervousness at the beginning, and only felt very happy at this time.

Nervousness is inevitable, after all, this is the first wedding he has held since time travel...

Of course, it would be better to have more times...

The ideal of a man...

But I can only think about it, marrying a wife like this is only once in this life.

The wedding system in this period is much more troublesome than it is now!
Starting from the first entry of newcomers, court ladies holding red candles enter in pairs, and then the bride and groom enter and stand together.

Afterwards the husband and wife bow to each other, the man's left hand is up and the right hand is down, while the woman's right hand is on top and the left hand is down, and she bows ninety degrees with her hands hidden in her sleeves.

Then there is the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the children, in which the parents will present wine to their loved ones in person and warn them of their responsibilities after marriage.

At this time, Zhu Yunxi's parents were no longer there, so Zhu Yuanzhang, an elder, made up for him.

After Zhu Yuanzhang gave the wine, the couple did not drink it immediately, but knelt down and raised their glasses.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You are married today, the heaven and the earth will be the witnesses, the sun and the moon will be the matchmakers, and you will be congratulated by the guests. In the future, you must love each other and respect each other as guests."

"No! I would like to follow the teachings of the emperor's grandfather." Zhu Yunxi said humbly, and then drank the wine.

Xu Miaojin on the side also drank it.

Then there is Xingwo toilet.

The newlyweds need to wash their hands and face clean, and then wipe their face and hands with a wet towel for their daughter-in-law. The ceremony of fertile washing at the wedding symbolizes that the bride and groom begin to integrate into a new life with a pure heart.

Then perform the same prison ceremony.

The bride and groom can eat the meat of one kind of animal together, which symbolizes that they will share the blessings from now on, and they will be able to endure hardships and enjoy happiness together in the future.

After the wedding ceremony, the new son-in-law pours wine for him, and the couple each drinks half of it and then drinks it in exchange. After the husband and wife drink together, they hope that the husband and wife can support and take care of each other from now on, and the husband and wife will never be separated.

There is also a ceremony of untie knots
At the end of the wedding, the bride and groom should untie their tassels and send their hair.

The groom will give his sweetheart a strand of red tassels when he is in love, and the groom will untie the red tassels during the holy wedding of the two, and then each will take a strand of his own hair and tie them together as the eternal beauty and commemoration of love .

The two newlyweds cut off a bunch of hair respectively and tied them together with a red rope, which means that they are firmly tied together and will never be separated for a lifetime.

The so-called married wife comes from this.

The maid had already prepared the box, and Zhu Yunxi put the two people's hair neatly into the box for preservation.

Next is the main event, the chapel ceremony.
