Chapter 513 Sister-in-law, open the door, I am my brother 4
Mrs. Cui wanted to tell her precious daughter everything her mother had said to her. You have to know that Mrs. Cui's mother was a legitimate royal princess, so this method was very clever.
Jiuli listened to the whole process and nodded from time to time to show that she had listened, but in fact she was daydreaming about the conversation between He Lingling and asked Lingling to capture a soul for her to become an emperor.
It was not until around the hour of You that Mrs. Cui finished her long speech and returned to the main courtyard contentedly to make arrangements.
At the hour of You, in the front yard, in the study, Cui Hancheng sat in the main seat, and on both sides sat four young men, each with their own unique talents. They were the four young masters of the Cui family, and the youngest was sixteen years old.
"You all know the imperial edict from the day before yesterday," Cui Hancheng glanced at his four outstanding sons and spoke.
"Of course my son knows it. The emperor's order cannot be disobeyed. My sister's business is our business," the young man on the left stood up and bowed slightly. He was cautious and polite even at home.
"Big brother is right," the other three young masters said in unison.
"Wen Jin, Wen Yu, Wen Sheng, Wen Yan,"
"My son is here." Four of them stood up at the same time, four pairs of eyes looking straight at their old father.
Cui Hancheng told the four people what to do one by one.
Duke Pingguo did not have many connections in the court, and was subtly squeezed out by Cui Hancheng. Even though he had a daughter as a concubine, she was excluded from the political center.
The Cui family visited many famous jewelry and silk shops in the imperial capital one after another, which shows how much importance they attached to this marriage.
Cui Wenyu took people to the main courtyard of Prince Jing's mansion to take measurements in advance, made special changes to the furniture, and even communicated about the favorite ornaments in advance.
The days passed quickly amidst the open and covert struggles. Concubine Zhu gave birth to Prince Jing's eldest son in February, and Madam Miao was already six months pregnant and had secured her baby. Everyone in the palace was preparing for the principal concubine to enter the house.
March is a beautiful month with green grass and singing birds.
There were red lanterns hanging everywhere in Cui's mansion, and it was decorated with lights and colorful decorations.
“If you comb your hair thoroughly, you will have no worries about wealth and honor;
If you comb your hair with two combs, you will be free from disease and worry;
If you comb your hair three times, you will have more children and a longer life;
Then comb your comb to the end, raise your case and even your eyebrows;
The two combs are combed to the tail, and they fly together together;
Three combs are combed to the end, and the knot will be tied to the same heart forever. "
Mrs. Cui stood behind Jiuli, humming slowly while holding an ivory comb in her hand, with tears in her eyes.
There were happy people in the room, with the bridesmaids standing on the left and right, dressed up, and a maid holding a complete set of phoenix crowns made of pure gold, and the wedding dress behind her was priceless phoenix brocade.
She went through the same process of putting on makeup and changing clothes.
"Don't worry, mother. I will go safely." Jiuli patted the back of Mrs. Cui's hand, her eyes slightly red, and said in a low voice.
"My dear," Mrs. Cui's eyes were filled with tears. She lowered her head and tears almost fell. She collected her thoughts and said, "Today is a good day for you. Look how happy I am."
"Ma'am, don't worry. The princess will surely have many children and grandchildren and a happy marriage." The bridesmaid beside her hurriedly handed over the bridal veil.
Mrs. Cui put the veil on Jiuli's head, and Cui Wenyu walked in in a red dress with a reluctant look on her face.
In the front yard, the road was paved with red carpet and the main gate was wide open.
Prince Jing, who was waiting in the palace to welcome the bride in person, pushed the whole atmosphere to a climax. Prince Ming, who followed behind Prince Jing, was smiling the whole time, and was wearing a red dress that was almost the same as a wedding dress. Everyone thought that he was happy for his brother.
But Prince Ming thought completely differently. He was also wearing red clothes today, so rounding it off should be considered as getting married to him, right?
"Your Highness Prince Jing, there is no need to be so polite," Cui Hancheng said with a smile, "My daughter has a bad temper, so please bear with me, Your Highness."
"Since she is my princess, I will naturally be tolerant of her." King Jing was still satisfied with this princess.
"If there is anything wrong, Your Majesty can tell me," Cui Hancheng said bluntly, almost telling you directly not to bully her.
"As long as she follows the rules, she will be the princess." At the same time, King Jing Yin Zhen made his own promise.
All the members of the Cui family who were not on duty gathered together in twos and threes to add to the dowry, and they added more than ten loads to the original 120 loads of dowry, filling it up.
The wedding was scheduled for dusk. Wen Yu carried Jiuli on his back and got on the sedan chair carried by four people, which was inlaid with pearls, emeralds and various gemstones.
"Don't be afraid, my brothers and I are always by your side." Wen Yu comforted softly, "The Cui family will always support you."
"Okay." Jiuli agreed and sat in the sedan chair.
The curtain of the sedan chair was lowered to hide the face of the person inside. The guard of honor slowly set off, and the young man in the front dressed in formal attire rode on horseback to lead the way.
After that came the avoidance boards, drummers, gongs, lanterns, flags, etc. At the same time, various weapons such as golden gourds, axes, stirrups, etc. were also arranged in the ranks of the ceremonial guard.
Prince Jing and the royal family members who came to welcome the bride walked in the front, and the heavy-duty bridal sedan followed behind, with gongs and drums beating along the way.
Walking around the imperial capital, copper coins and various fruits were scattered on the main streets. From time to time, one could hear people saying, "I wish the prince and princess a happy marriage and a son soon."
The ten-mile red makeup shows the family's heritage. The emerald cabbage and the golden branches and jade leaves in the front are all bestowed by His Majesty. The headwear displayed afterwards are all the best of the best.
In front of Prince Jing’s mansion, there was a dazzling red.
King Jing took the bow from Su Hua's hand and shot at the stationary sedan chair. Three arrows hit the door of the sedan chair steadily.
"The bride is getting out of the sedan chair." The lady escorting the bride stretched out her hand, motioning Jiuli to get on, her eyes full of tenderness.
Jiuli stretched out her hand and placed it on the hand of the two bride-sitters, and walked forward with the support of the two bride-sitters. The matchmaker on the right laid a red carpet in the front and back streets, and Jiuli did not touch the ground the whole time.
After shooting the arrows, King Jing's hands were shaking behind his back. After going through all the procedures and arriving at the lobby, Emperor Zhengtong and Concubine Heng appeared in front of everyone, and everyone had a new understanding of King Jing.
"After you get married, follow the prince and do things well in the future." After Emperor Zhengtong said a few words, he looked at Jiuli again, with a warning tone, "Your father is a good man, and I think you are too."
Concubine Heng took advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention and glared at her youngest son. If it weren't for the dragon and phoenix pattern on his clothes, people would have thought he was the groom! She thought again and again.
Because of the presence of Emperor Zhengtong, all the ministers kept quiet.
After worshipping heaven and earth, Emperor Zhengtong just said a few words, drank some tea, and took Concubine Heng back to the palace, as if they came here just to attend a wedding banquet.
It must be said that when Concubine Heng left, she took Yin Zhen with her.
After entering the bridal chamber, there is another set of procedures, including spreading the tent, eating offspring cakes, longevity noodles, and cutting hair and tying the hair.
"Princess, please eat something to fill your stomach. I will go to the front to entertain the guests." King Jing tilted his head to glance at Jiuli who was sitting beside the bed.
She got up and went out, and An Xiang Ying Xiu, who had been waiting in the bridal chamber, came over and handed her two snacks at the right time.
"Miss, please eat something to fill your stomach first. You can't take off your veil until the prince comes back." Anxiang said in a low voice.
"Be careful with your words and actions. From now on, whether you call me princess in public or in private, I'm afraid the stones in the mansion will talk." Jiuli took the snacks, seemingly reprimanding, but actually giving a reminder.
