Fourth Lord's Black Moonlight Queen

Chapter 27 Laughing with Tears, Unspeakable

"It's okay, I suddenly forgot to try on the wedding shoes!"

Lan Qier kicked on the embroidered flowerpot shoes on Fei's feet, and hastily put the red Shu brocade embroidered shoes on his feet.

She doesn't want to point it out, so take it as a test!If these two people can miss even this little misunderstanding, it can only be said that their love is deep and their relationship is shallow.

Moreover, she was not optimistic about Yinzhen and Jingui from the beginning to the end.Subconsciously, he didn't want Yinzhen to miss Jingui's life.

Half a month passed in a flash, during which Li Jingui almost took root in Lan Qier's bedroom.

"Concubine Rong, the trial marriage maid is back!"

"Let her in!"

Concubine Rong nervously stirred the brocade handkerchief in her hand.

For example, Princess Wanning in the Ming Dynasty married a sick concubine, but the concubine vomited blood on the day of his visit, and died a month later. The princess became a widow before entering the bridal chamber, and died of depression a few years later.

Because princesses with golden branches and jade leaves cannot remarry casually, for the sake of future life, princesses are not opposed to the trial marriage system.

After the trial marriage is over, the court lady must go back to the palace and report the results of the trial marriage to the master. If all the results are normal, the princess will marry the concubine.

Bored, Lan Qier took Li Jingui's hand to relax in the imperial garden.

"Don't you listen to what the court lady said?"

Li Jingui found out that Lan Qier had no interest in this future son-in-law, and had a disconsolate expression.

"He is from the Empress Dowager's natal family, even if he is really sick, no one would dare to slap Shoukang Palace in the face!"

Lan Qi'er pinched Li Jingui's cheeks, this girl is so cute and silly.

"According to the age, Yinzhen will be fifteen at the end of the year. The princes of the Qing Dynasty must marry Fujin before they reach the age of 16. Before that, they will prepare a trial marriage maid for the prince as usual. Jingui, what do you think?" Will you be Yinzhen's court lady for trial marriage?"

"I...I don't know..."

Reflexively, Li Jingui began to avoid any questions related to the fourth elder brother.

Lan Qi'er shook her head helplessly, the girl's thoughts were not written on her face.

No matter how much she falters, it won't help. No wonder Yinzhen can hold her firmly in his hands.

In Xianfu Palace, after listening to the detailed report of the trial marriage maid, Concubine Rong finally let go of her long-hanging heart.

"Qiuyue, you have worked hard too. This bowl of nourishing soup is given to you by this palace."

"My servant thank you for your kindness."

The trial marriage maid shivered and prostrated herself on the ground, while Concubine Rong's close maid Lin Lang handed the steaming soup to Qiuyue.

This is a bowl of absolute son soup, no matter who it is, it is impossible to give birth to the eldest son of the forehead before her daughter, let alone this beautiful court lady in front of her.

This trial marriage palace lady's status is humble, who knows if she will have undue thoughts because of this in the future, she must be on guard against others.

The preparations on the eve of the big wedding are particularly cumbersome, and Lan Qier, who is yawning again and again, is already dressed in a vermilion wedding attire.

At this time, she was sitting in front of the dressing table, being combed by the old lady Quanfu.

The so-called Quanfu old lady refers to a woman who is seventy years old, and Quanfu person refers to a blessed person who has parents and children, a loving husband and wife, and a harmonious relationship between brothers and sisters.

According to the wedding customs of the Manchus, it is believed that the bride will have more children and more blessings if her hair is curled up by the Quanfu old lady.

Before the bride gets married and gets on the sedan chair, the old lady of Quanfu still needs to perform the etiquette of "sweeping the sedan chair", "smoking the sedan chair" and "photographing the sedan chair".

"Sweeping the sedan chair" refers to the symbolic sweeping of the dust in the sedan chair by the old lady of Quanfu with a broom.

"Smoke the sedan chair" means that after the old lady of Quanfu sweeps the sedan chair, she uses a handful of high incense to infuse the inside of the sedan chair to fill it with aroma.

"Illuminating the sedan chair" is to take a hand-held mirror and illuminate the corners of the sedan chair to prevent the legendary filth from hiding in the sedan chair.

After completing this series of etiquette, it is time to wait for the auspicious time for the bride to get on the sedan chair.

At this time, a group of court ladies were painting Lan Qi'er's eyebrows and eyes in an orderly manner, and she never liked the matter of make-up and dowry.

But really dressed up, the dignified and elegant with a little heroic unique temperament, people can't take their eyes off.

"Replace the third pair of earrings with these emerald earrings!"

Manchu and Mongolian women must abide by the custom of one ear and three pincers on grand occasions.

From the moment a Manchu woman is born, the shaman will immediately have three piercings in each ear, a total of six piercings in two ears, to represent the noble blood of Manchuria.

And Lan Qi'er, who is Princess Gu Lun, naturally wants to wear Dongzhu earrings.

"Your Royal Highness, no, this Dongzhu is the status symbol of the first wife. It may be unlucky to replace it rashly."

The aunt in charge at the side tried her best to persuade the unruly and willful princess.Lan Qier snorted coldly, then took off the armor and put it on herself.

"your Highness…"

"Oh...why didn't you catch it..."

With a soft sound, the Dongzhu slipped from Aunt Fang's hand at the side. The pearl was not a fragile thing, but it broke into several petals at this moment.

"The servant girl is here to help Her Royal Highness dress up!"

Li Jingui didn't know that Lan Qier was secretly using internal force to shatter the East Pearl, worried that Lan Qier would make things difficult for others, so Li Jingui volunteered to serve Lan Qier to dress up.

"Aunt Fang, look, it's unlucky for this Dongzhu earring to break, if my mother-in-law finds out..."

"Hey, Your Royal Highness, this servant feels that it is a bit cumbersome to wear three sets of Dongzhu earrings!"

"Furthermore, good things come in pairs. We wear two sets of oriental beads, which are more than enough. In addition, this pair of jadeite earrings is really eye-catching..."

"Okay, okay, if that's the case, let's change to this pair of jade earrings..."

.........

This unprecedented wedding did not come to an end until sunset and dusk, but the weather was not good, and it rained cats and dogs at this time.

As Lan Qier's close friend, Li Jingui naturally had to send her to the forehead to be at ease.

"Little Suzi, I want to be alone! Go back first."

At this time, Yinzhen was standing on the tower of the moat holding an oil-paper umbrella, and there was no familiar figure imprinted in his heart in the torrential rain.

"Master, I'm afraid the rain won't stop for a while, how about the servant standing far away to accompany you?"

Su Peisheng was a little worried when he saw the lost look of the fourth elder brother, so he cautiously tried to stay.

"Go away~"

There was a murderous air in this tone, Su Peisheng only felt a chill on the back of his neck.

"The slave obeys!"

He respectfully handed over the umbrella to the fourth elder brother, and walked towards Zhongcui Palace with three steps and three turns.

"Jingui! It's raining too much, you should go back!"

Lan Qier opened the sedan chair curtain and shouted at Li Jingui who was following the sedan chair.

"No, today is your big wedding day, it's only once in a lifetime, even if there is a knife in the sky, I will send you to my son-in-law!"

Li Jingui was holding a festive red oil-paper umbrella, but couldn't bear the wind and rain, and was already drenched all over.
