Nightwatcher Chapter 22: Li Cheng

The princess’s bedroom, with low curtains and curling sandalwood.

The door of the bedroom was open, and the maids in the Shaoyin Palace rushed around, in front of the dressing mirror, Lin'an sat with her waist upright, staring at herself in the bronze mirror.

The woman in the mirror has rounded cheeks, just like a goose egg with smooth lines. After applying powder and drawing her eyebrows, her appearance becomes more refined and energetic.

In addition, the maid’s skillful hand painted plum makeup on her forehead, so the princess, who is already charming and passionate, has an extravagant and charming temperament.

In a woman's life, there will be a chance to see her Feng Guanxia.

She waited.

More fortunately, the groom is the beloved, and the lover eventually becomes a family member.

"His Royal Highness has been a lot quieter recently, do you have to endure it hard?" The grand palace lady combed her hair and asked with a smile.

His Royal Highness usually twitters, lively and coquettish, the closer the wedding day, the more he learns to be quiet and gentle.

"The Queen Mother said that if you marry a woman, you can no longer do it rashly..."

Lin'an sighed: "Let me just pretend to be, it will be revealed in the future."

While speaking, the graceful queen mother brought the maid into the house, glanced at the phoenix crown on the table, and said lightly:

"How are you preparing?"

After the court lady by Lin'an gave the salute, she said respectfully:

"After the slave and maid combed her hair, you're done."

The queen mother walked to the dressing table, glanced at the charming Lin'an, and frowned suddenly:

"Why not open the face?"

The so-called "open face" is to use five-color cotton yarn to twist the hair on the face of the bride, making the bride look more white and beautiful.

The grand palace lady looked at Lin'an embarrassedly.

The delicate eyebrows drawn by the latter frowned, "Mother, too, too painful..."

The queen mother nodded slightly and swept across all the court ladies in the house, her tone was flat:

"Your Highness will not open your face, each of you has twenty boards. If you are delayed, all will be sent to the coat bureau."

The maids look pale.

So I washed off the princess's makeup again, and several court ladies worked together, and after some tossing, they finally got it done.

The Queen Mother looked at Lin'an, whose face was flushed and the corners of her eyes were tearful, and nodded in satisfaction:

"Yes, this is the skin like fat, which can be broken by blowing."

When the auspicious hour is approaching, the maid put on a phoenix crown for Lin'an, the queen mother squinted her eyes, examined it for a moment, and sighed:

"It's so beautiful!

"You are born to be a princess. Wearing gold and silver can highlight your delicacy and beauty."

The Queen Mother has seen many beauties, and she is the beauty of the country and the city, but the so-called beauties are numerous, with different attitudes, and different beauties need different dresses to highlight their beauty and temperament to the fullest.

Among the beauties that the Queen Mother meets, including her, she will be divided into more or less glamour by the gorgeous jewelry and clothing.

Lin'an is the only one who can be dressed up more gorgeously and more beautifully.

The Queen Mother continued:

"Neither your elder brother nor your concubine can attend the wedding. As your mother, I should teach you how to live in your husband's house and get along with your uncle."

Lin'an sits solemnly and listens patiently.

"Although you are the golden branches and jade leaves, the princess is the respected princess, but Xu Yinluo is not an ordinary husband-in-law, so after marrying the Xu mansion, you must first learn to restrain your temper."

In the past many years, the queen mother has ignored everything, she has ignored her harem, her princes and princes, but she also knows that Lin'an often troubles Huaiqing.

If she had half of Chen's scheming and wrist, it would be fine, the queen mother would not bother to say this. She is a girl who likes to pick things, but has no corresponding combat effectiveness.

If I go to the Xu Mansion, if I don’t restrain myself, I don’t know what kind of bullying is going to be, and it’s still unreasonable.

The Queen Mother continued:

"In the Xu family's female family, the second homeowner doesn't need to care. Although I don't have much contact with her, I have tried a few times, and she is a straight-headed man with no twists and turns. The woman from Yunzhou, although she is Xu Qi'an gave birth to a mother, but the affection between mother and child must not be deep.

"If she knows how to measure, she won't judge you, but treat her politely. You treat her like that. The big girl in the second room is a smart girl, but she doesn't have much to do with you. It will be a few years later. Married out.

"What you really need to care about is your husband's mind and the women he provokes outside."

Ning Yan's aunt is a rectum? Ke Simu said, this aunt is clearly a very terrifying and terrifying character. Is the queen mother mistaken, or she deliberately said this to put my heart at ease...... Lin'an muttered in her heart and heard "The woman who provokes me outside" raised his eyebrows suddenly.

"Don't worry about the queen, Lin'an knows how to deal with them, and will treat them well."

The queen mother glanced at her, swallowed the "he" that rushed to her throat, and nodded:

"The advice given to you by the queen is to listen to Wang Simu's advice. She and Erlang are already engaged, and they will marry Xu's family if they want to come this year or next year."

It makes sense... Lin'an nodded.

"Don’t just lose your temper when you encounter things. You and Xu Yinluo are in love. At the beginning of his last days, you helped him a lot. When he was wronged, he should mention more about this matter. Will feel guilty."

............

The main road leading directly to the imperial city, Xu Qi'an sat on the back of the little mare, carried by it, and headed towards the imperial city.

Behind him is Li Yuchun, Zhu Guangxiao, Song Tingfeng and other familiar colleagues, as well as cronies like Miao Youfang, forming a large-scale welcoming team.

The city defense forces lined up on both sides of the street, blocking the onlookers at the side of the street.

The people chanted "Xu Yinluo is overjoyed", "A hundred years of good cooperation" and other words, very excited.

In their view, Xu Yinluo's marriage to the royal princess is a combination of power and strength.

Besides, besides the noble princess, who else can be worthy of Xu Yin Gong?

But some people are deeply disappointed.

"Xu Yinluo is going to marry a princess, alas, my daughter seems to be unable to be a regular wife."

"Just like your girl, Xu Yinluo would hate being a maid, let’s dream of your spring and autumn. My sister is twenty-eight years old, beautiful and beautiful, not yet married, alas, it’s a pity that Xu Yinluo can’t see this A pearl sinking in the sand."

"That's not easy. You send your sister to Jiaofang Division. Since it is so beautiful, it is not difficult to get an oiran. Didn’t Xu Yinluo see it? Who doesn’t know that Xu Yinluo’s favorite and Oiran fights together."

Everyone on the side laughed.

Then the two fought and were soon subdued by the city defense army, and order was restored.

Zhu Guangxiao looked at the tall figure wearing casual clothes in front, whispered to Song Tingfeng next to him:

"I used to think that Ning Banquet married His Highness Huaiqing."

When Xu Qi'an was still a copper gong and a silver gong, every time he went to the palace, he used to see Huaiqing as a reason. Although he did not fool around with Lin'an in private, in Zhu Guangxiao’s opinion, Xu Ningyan was clearly a princess Huaiqing who walked closer. .

When investigating the case before, I also ran to Huaiqing Mansion twice in three days.

As a result, he chose his sister rather than his sister.

Song Tingfeng winked his eyebrows, hehe smiled and said:

"Not marrying your majesty does not mean you are innocent with your majesty."

Zhu Guangxiao was taken aback and whispered:

"Don't arrogantly discuss the Lord."

"What are you afraid of? Ning Yan didn't care about it." Song Tingfeng spoke to the bridegroom in front of Nu.

What they said could not hide from Xu Ningyan's mouth. Since he didn't care, then there is no need to worry about your majesty's conviction.

However, Song Tingfeng will not be able to speak blatantly in the following words, the sound transmission said:

"I heard that some people in North Korea recently proposed the establishment of a prince. This is the foundation of the country, and the group of scholars care about this most."

Zhu Guangxiao said indifferently:

"With your majesty's ability, you can easily suppress these voices."

"Idiot!" Song Tingfeng shook his head:

"The meaning of Manchu civil and martial arts is not a drunkard. You think it is not unusual for your majesty to have no heirs shortly after he became a throne. But now that the rebellion is over and the whole world has risen, is it time to consider his majesty's marriage?

"The establishment of the prince is just a reason. The princes want to urge your majesty to marry as soon as possible and give birth to children."

Zhu Guangxiao suddenly realized that, and immediately transmitted the sound:

"What did you say about this for no reason."

Song Tingfeng said in a voice transmission:

"Ning Yan married His Royal Highness Lin'an. I don’t know how many people laughed and clapped their hands. He didn’t get married in one day. No one dared to worry about the position of "Lord of the Harem". Get it!

"But, sooner or later, your majesty will have to consider the offspring. I will watch it lively in the future."

Although your Majesty is a daughter, she is also of the royal lineage of Zheng Miaohong. Her heirs, as long as they have a strong enough backstage support, they will have no difficulty in inheriting the throne.

After entering the imperial city, he began a meticulous walk through the process. First, he rode to the south gate with the courtesy officer, where he changed into the official uniforms of the horsemen, and then presented big geese, coins and silk as a betrothal gift.

This is called the "goose-traveling ceremony". The wild goose symbolizes loyalty and symbolizes a pair of people for life.

At the end of the goose-walking ceremony, Xu Qi'an and the welcoming team took a seat, drank and rested, and waited for auspicious time.

From the early morning until the sun was shining, the ceremonial officer finally took the seat and whispered:

"My husband, the hour is here."

Xu Qianxin said that he could finally welcome the bride, the bladder bureau...

He immediately followed the ceremonial officer to Shaoyin Palace, where he saw the princess's guard of honor and Fengguan Xia, the charming and charming Lin'an.

She wore a wedding gown and a phoenix crown on her head, her beauty was dazzling.

With the help of the court lady, Shi Shiran stepped out of Shaoyin Palace. The two of them were far apart, and their eyes met.

Thousands of words are in the eyes.

Without speaking, Lin'an Rourou glanced at him, bowed his head and got into the car.

The red car is mainly red. In addition to the decoration of Zhai Yu, the car is decorated with red and purple silk and silk to form a gorgeous decoration.

There is an incense cabinet on the horizontal shaft, an incense burner with a chi pattern, incense treasure, etc.

The overall style is gorgeous and bright, very beautiful.

It went well, I didn't ask for red envelopes to find shoes, and broke into these horrible things..........Xu Qi'an said in his heart.

Of course, this is mainly because welcoming a marriage is not the highlight, and there is no customs of the previous life.

Out of the palace, Xu Qi'an took the guard of honor and met with the welcoming team, left the palace together, and returned the same way.

The purpose of this trip was supposed to be the mansion of the horses, but after discussing with his second uncle, Xu Qi'an and his second uncle decided that he would still live in the mansion of Xu, and bought a few nearby houses and expanded it into a mansion with rich courtyards.

The family still lives together.

It took another half an hour to return to the Xu mansion. On the way, the drums rang and the court lady wearing the flower crown was carrying the incense burner lotus step, and the forbidden army was sprinkling and sweeping in front, so it was difficult to walk.

Xu Qi'an led Lin'an into the door and went straight to the inner hall amid the festive drum music.

At this time, the hall was full of people watching the ceremony, all of them from the Xu clan, no foreign guests.

Second uncle and aunt sat in the hall with their backs upright, and the aunt's eyes lit up when she saw Fengguan Xia's Lin'an.

She likes gorgeous girls very much, and Lin'an's dress makes her aunt amazed.

The members of the Tiandihui are not there, and Sitianjian’s goods have not come yet, so good... Xu Qi'an glanced at everyone in the hall, except for the face of the flower god, everyone else was full Smile face.

Especially Xu Lingyue, smiling like a flower, sincerely happy for her eldest brother!

The newcomer conducts a worship service under the auspices of officials of the Ministry of Liturgy.

The process of worship is very cumbersome-three kneels, nine bows, six liters.

During this period, Xu Qi'an noticed that Lin'an's heartbeat was speeding up, and the sound transmission said:

"Don't be nervous!"

Lin'an really settled down.

After finishing the ceremony in an orderly manner, two little palace ladies held dragons and phoenix candles and guided them, with Xu Qi'an and Lin'an behind.

Watching the couple turn into the back hall, the birth mother Ji Baiqing gently wiped away the tears on her face.

Xu Yuanshuang looked at her mother, gently held her hand, and was about to say some words of relief.

At this moment, she saw Lu'e coming over and whispered:

"Madam, come with me."

Ji Baiqing frowned, pinched the Jinpa, and followed Lu'e out.

Walking through the courtyard and coming to the wedding room of the newlyweds, Lu'e opened the door and said with a smile:

"Madame, please come in."

Ji Baiqing's heart moved, and she already had a guess. She stepped over the threshold and entered the wedding room. She saw Lin'an and Xu Qi'an standing side by side, waiting for a long time.

"Ning Yan, this is..."

Xu Qi'an whispered:

"My aunt and my second uncle brought me up, and in my heart they are like biological parents. I worship my second uncle and aunt in front of the guests in order to respect them. But you are my biological mother, my dearest relative, on the day of my wedding, I should worship you."

He and Lin'an looked at each other, knelt to the ground, and knocked three heads.

Ji Baiqing smiled and said:

"My mother is very happy, very happy."

She leaned over to help her eldest son and daughter-in-law up.

Xu Qi'an whispered:

"Mother!"

Ji Baiqing's body suddenly stiffened.

She nodded calmly and left the wedding room without staying long.

After walking for a while, she leaned on the pillar, lowered her head, and her shoulders trembled violently.

.........

Xu Yuanshuang saw her mother come back with red eyes, her makeup was a little bit flowery, she looked embarrassed, but when she took a closer look, she found that the condensed eyebrows in the corners of her eyes for the past two decades were gone~IndoMTL.com~In the wedding room, Lin'an snuggled in Xu Qi'an's arms, holding a piece of butter cake in his hand, nibbling on it, eating for a while, and his face was full of sadness:

"Will the national teacher rush in and kill me with a sword?

"I pretend to be full of confidence in the front of the queen, but I am actually very scared in my heart."

Are you scared? Xu Qi'an comforted:

"As soon as the national teacher cut you with a sword, I will stab her with a gun."

Lin'an was relieved immediately, and went on to say:

"Help me take off the crown. After wearing it for a short time, my neck hurts."

Xu Qi'an helped her take off the phoenix crown, pinched the waist of the water snake, and smiled:

"The wedding dress is cumbersome, so take it off first. It will save you the trouble at the time. Well, the bridal chamber will be done first, so I can concentrate on going out to entertain the guests."

"Don't don't!"

Lin'an blushed and pushed his chest with both hands.

Although the two are married, she will still be shy without personnel.

After a while, Xu Qi'an glanced at the water leak in the corner of the house and pinched his eyebrows:

"I'm going to greet the guests."

There must be countless moths today, but it's okay, he has already figured out a perfect solution.

...........

PS: I wanted to vomit when I checked the information today. The princess’s marrying specifications, process, entourage, etc., after checking, I found that each dynasty is different, and the content of the information is very simple, one sentence summarizes the specific process , How to operate, nothing at all. The skull hurts.

I think that "completeness" is the most important thing when writing a book to the later stage. Many things cannot be skipped directly. They may be unsightly or boring, but they can enhance the style and authenticity of a book.
