The princess has a crow's mouth

Chapter 19 The Big Wedding
Half a month is fleeting.

On June 23, the 29rd year of Yongkang in the Ming Dynasty, the sky was cloudless and the day was auspicious.Li Wangjun Ruoli married a wife, and her red makeup was ten miles, making a sensation in the capital. ——Excerpt from "History of Ming Dynasty"

Su Xiaoxiao was pulled up to dress up when she was a child, and she had just rested for less than half an hour at that time.Although it's two lifetimes, it's the first time to get married, so it's inevitable that I can't sleep because of excitement.I finally fell asleep, and it was time to wake up.

Qiuyue helped Su Xiaoxiao sit in front of the bronze mirror, and the nanny from the palace was in charge of combing Su Xiaoxiao's hair.It stands to reason that the night before a woman gets married, the mother should comb her hair and bless her daughter.But Su Xiaoxiao's situation is special, so she can only be done by the nanny in the palace.

The nanny bowed to Su Xiaoxiao, then picked up the claw comb, combed Su Xiaoxiao's hair one by one, and said while combing: "If you comb your hair once, you don't have to worry about being rich; if you comb your hair twice, you will be rich." No disease and no worries; three combs to the head, more children and longer life; second comb to the end, raising the case and eyebrows; two combs to the end, wing to fly together; three combs to the end, forever tied together! "

Su Xiaoxiao listened to Mammy reading the words, and felt a little nervous for some reason.

Mammy quickly finished combing her hair, put down the horn comb in her hand, and stepped aside.At this time, two female officials came forward with the wedding dress, and together with Qiuyue waited on Su Xiaoxiao to change into the wedding dress.

Because there was only half a month to prepare for the wedding, Emperor Mingzong rewarded a lot of things.The wedding dress is not made on the spot, but is remade from the wedding dresses of the former princesses kept in the palace.

The wedding dress was a wide-sleeved fairy skirt woven by Bixialuo. A phoenix about to fly was embroidered on the back with gold silk and jade threads. It was tied around the waist with a tasseled girdle inlaid with pearls. The hem was embroidered with gorgeous The golden peony flower is covered with scarlet and ground shark gauze.

After Su Xiaoxiao put on her wedding dress, she sat back in front of the mirror and let the female officer put on makeup for her hair.

The female officer tied up Su Xiaoxiao's long hair, and fixed her thick bangs with two small golden peony flower temple combs.Without the cover of her hair, Su Xiaoxiao showed her real face, and everyone was stunned by her beautiful face.

Qiuyue's mouth trembled slightly, but she couldn't say a word, and the hand holding the phoenix crown also trembled slightly.It was the female officer who was the first to react, and sighed: "My concubine is really pretty!" After saying that, she picked up the charcoal pencil and drew Su Xiaoxiao's eyebrows.

In less than a cup of tea, the female officer finished makeup for Su Xiaoxiao.After looking at Su Xiaoxiao for a moment, he picked up the flower tin and pasted it at the end of Su Xiaoxiao's eyes, then nodded in satisfaction.

Then, the female officer hairpins and phoenix crowns for Su Xiaoxiaowan.After everything was taken care of, he helped Su Xiaoxiao back to the bed and sat down.

Qiuyue knelt on the ground and put on embroidered shoes embroidered with lotus flowers for Su Xiaoxiao.After that, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't move around anymore.

Su Xiaoxiao looked down at the gorgeous wedding dress on her body, and gently fiddled with the tassels on the girdle with her hands.Although everything is fake, when I put on this wedding dress, I felt so excited and apprehensive that I was going to get married.

Qiuyue was standing by the bed, saw Su Xiaoxiao fiddled with the tassel, she quietly moved to Su Xiaoxiao's side, and whispered: "If the girl feels bored, you can talk to the servant girl, it's still early to meet the bride!"

As soon as Su Xiaoxiao looked up, she saw Qiuyue's shining black eyes, and she didn't speak for a while.

But Qiuyue was very happy, and said with a beaming face: "The girl is so beautiful, the servants are reluctant to look away, there is no one more beautiful than the girl in this world!"

Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing, and replied: "I thought you were honest before, but it turned out that I was wrong, and you are also glib."

"The servant girl is not glib, this is the words of the servant girl!" Qiuyue retorted.

"Okay, don't let people see the joke! Your girl, I won't be able to wait for so long, so you don't have to talk to me."

Although Su Xiaoxiao knew that Qiuyue was kind and thoughtful, she stood still and waited for boredom.But after all, there are still people in the palace, so you can't break the rules like this.So I still dismissed her, and she didn't say any more.

Qiuyue is not stupid either. Hearing what Su Xiaoxiao said, she understood what she meant.Quietly back to the original position, she winked at Su Xiaoxiao again.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled helplessly, but in her heart she felt that it was right to accept Qiuyue.

The room fell into silence, Su Xiaoxiao emptied his mind and began to wander into the sky.

It was only when the red candle was burned out and the sun came into the room through the window that Su Xiaoxiao came back to her senses.Qiuyue and the others were still standing in the same posture, without any slack.

After a while, Su Xiaoxiao heard the sound of blowing and blowing.The voice moved from far to near, and stopped when it reached the gate of Su Xiaoxiao's courtyard.

After a while, Nanny Jin pushed open the door and said with a stiff smile: "The envoy has arrived, please..." She stopped talking halfway, and Nanny Jin looked at Su Xiaoxiao in shock. .

Su Xiaoxiao naturally saw Jin Nanny's forced smile at first, but she didn't show it.Lightly ordered Qiuyue: "Qiuyue, cover me with a hijab."

With her head covered, Su Xiaoxiao could only look down through the gap, all she could see were her hands and a pair of delicate embroidered shoes.

Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao put on the hijab, Nanny Jin came back to her senses.Hastily shouted: "The bride goes out!"

Then a eunuch in red entered the room and squatted in front of Su Xiaoxiao.Su Xiaoxiao caught a glimpse of that figure, climbed up on her back, and the little eunuch carried her out the door.

Su Xiaoxiao has no brother to see her off, so the little eunuch can only do it for him.Naturally, the little eunuch couldn't express some concern to Su Xiaoxiao, and sent Su Xiaoxiao to the sedan chair without saying a word.

After sitting in the bridal sedan chair, Su Xiaoxiao felt a little sad.The bearer shouted for the sedan chair, and the wedding band continued to play.

The sedan chair was bumped up and down, and the pearl tassel pendant on the hijab kept shaking, making Su Xiaoxiao's eyes dizzy.He stretched out his hand to lift the hijab a little, since there was no one else, and he was not afraid of others saying it was bad luck.

Su Xiaoxiao leaned back gently, trying to make herself more comfortable.The phoenix crown made of pure gold was not light, and her neck felt a little sore from the pressure.The journey to welcome the bride is very long, Su Xiaoxiao can't sit upright all the time.

Although Su Xiaoxiao lived in the palace and married into the palace.But Emperor Mingzong ordered the welcoming team to come out from the back door of the palace, go all the way to the gate of the palace and then return, and enter through the main entrance of the palace.

Poor Su Xiaoxiao bears the turbulence with her phoenix crown on her head.However, Jun Ruoli can stay in the palace and let the welcoming envoys greet the bride for him without any fuss.However, this welcoming envoy was also sent by Emperor Mingzong in order to gain the reputation of being compassionate.

The welcoming team is buzzing, it's so lively.Ye Xin, who was staying in the room, could vaguely hear the music.

Bi Yuan hurried in from the outside and exclaimed: "Miss, King Li is getting married today, and there is so much excitement outside! As expected of a prince marrying a concubine, it was a big battle! Eight palanquins were carried, and the rewards from His Majesty were a hundred... "

Contempt flashed in Ye Xin's eyes.So what if it's ten miles of red makeup?Just a foot into the pit of fire.Emperor Mingzong always loved his name, so this wedding must be held in a dignified and grand manner, so what's the fuss about?

But Bi Yuan didn't see the contempt in Ye Xin's eyes, she still talked to herself.In fact, it's not to blame for Biyuan's shallow eyelids and short-sightedness.Today's wedding was the grandest in the history of the Ming Dynasty.Every wedding in the future will be incomparable.

Su Xiaoxiao sat dizzily in the sedan chair, thankful that she hadn't eaten anything so far, otherwise she would definitely be thrown out by the bumps.

Suddenly the music stopped, and the sedan chair also fell down.Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly put the hijab on her head, and corrected her sitting posture.

The servant at the gate of Prince Li's Mansion lit the firecrackers, and Jun Ruoli, supported by Butler Zhu, walked slowly towards the sedan chair.

Xi Niang sang loudly: "The groom kicks the sedan door!" Jun Ruoli kicked it twice symbolically, and then supported Butler Zhu, looking weak.

Xi Niang then shouted: "The bridegroom welcomes the bride out of the sedan chair!"

The servant lifted up the sedan chair curtain, Jun Ruoli stretched out her hand in front of Su Xiaoxiao, bent down and said to Su Xiaoxiao: "Princess, the king is here to pick you up."

Su Xiaoxiao saw Jun Ruoli's hand through the gap, the joints were clear, white and slender.Raising her hand to lightly rest on Jun Ruoli's, Su Xiaoxiao got up slowly, bent down and got out of the sedan chair.

Seeing the bride get out of the sedan chair, the servant at the door lit another whip.Su Xiaoxiao who got out of the sedan chair hurriedly withdrew her hand, and stood quietly beside Jun Ruoli.

Jun Ruoli felt a little bit reluctant for a moment as she pulled away her cool and tender little hand.At this time, Xi Niang hurriedly put the red silk into the hands of the two, shouting: "The newcomer enters the house."

Butler Zhu supported Jun Ruoli, Qiuyue stepped forward to support Su Xiaoxiao, and the four of them walked slowly to the front hall of the East Garden of the Wangfu.After sending the two newcomers, Steward Zhu and Qiuyue stepped aside.

Su Xiaoxiao is glad that she didn't experience such a dangerous situation as crossing the brazier along the way.At the same time, I'm glad that Jun Ruoli is not too weak to worship, if she uses a rooster instead of worshiping, she might go crazy regardless of the previous agreement.

Hearing the guests' discussions, Su Xiaoxiao thought that there should be some distinguished guests watching the ceremony in the front hall.Su Xiaoxiao was a little nervous, and subconsciously grabbed the red silk in her hand.

The servant girl placed two red futons in front of the two of them, and Su Xiaoxiao saw through the gap that mandarin ducks were still embroidered on the futons.

Xi Niang looked at the time, and immediately invited the guests to sit down, and shouted loudly: "The auspicious time has come! The newcomers pay homage! Let's pay homage to the world!"

Su Xiaoxiao and Jun Ruoli knelt on the futon, bowing to the heaven and the earth.

"Two thanks to the high hall!"

Jun Ruoli's parents have passed away, and when they paid homage to the high hall, they worshiped the tablets of Cheng Wang and his wife.

"Bye husband and wife!"

This time, when the bride and groom kowtow, they must touch their heads.When Su Xiaoxiao stuck it to Jun Ruoli's head, she felt her soul tremble, and she couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

After the ceremony was over, Xi Niang smiled and shouted: "The ceremony is completed! Send it to the bridal chamber!"

Qiuyue rolled her eyes with a smile, stepped forward to help Su Xiaoxiao, and sent her into the new house.
