The Prince Regent’s Violent Medical Consort Chapter 295: Borrow the dress
Chapter two hundred and ninety-fifth of the dress
The Qingning Pavilion of the imperial concubine.
"The Empress Dowager personally decreed the marriage, and the wedding banquet will be held three days later. Do you know which woman it is?" The concubine asked Ah Fu.
A'Fu replied: "No one knows, I'm afraid even the Empress Dowager doesn't know."
"No, Aijia thinks she knows." The imperial concubine thought about it for a while, but she couldn't think of which woman his empress dowager would take a fancy to, and even went out to the mountains to offer her marriage.
This makes her feel threatened.
A'Fu said: "No matter who it is, it's better than Xia Zi'an."
The noble concubine said: "Yes, she is indeed better than Xia Zi'an. Now Xia Zi'an is popular, and the people almost regard her as a bodhisattva. If she doesn't die, it will be very unfavorable for us to come back and marry Murong Jie."
A'Fu nodded and said, "Yes, if Xia Zi'an comes back, it will be bad for both the concubine and the king of Nanhuai. This time the marriage is so rushed, and it only takes three days to prepare. Even if you send the letter to the king of Nanhuai now, the prince will not be able to make it in time. Come back, why don't the concubine enter the palace to discuss with the empress dowager, and see if it is possible to postpone the wedding date, saying that it is to let the king of Nanhuai come back for a drink of his brother's wedding wine, is this not an exaggeration?"
The imperial concubine waved her hand, "It's very difficult. The empress dowager is doing this. Aijia suspects that she wants to complete the marriage quickly and prevent the old eighth from coming back."
"But isn't the prince keeping filial piety? Can you use this reason to tell the empress dowager, and then let the empress dowager say no to the empress dowager? You can't get married during filial piety, right?" Ah Fu said.
The noble concubine said: "Sizhu died to the present, less than a hundred days ago. If you get married within a hundred days, it is to borrow filial piety. The empress dowager is taking advantage of this loophole, so this reason is not valid."
When the biological parents die, keep filial piety for twenty-seven months or three years. It is the custom of Da Zhou to observe filial piety for one year after the adoptive parents die.
There is another situation, that is, to marry within 100 days of the death of the parents, in order to borrow filial piety.
There is such a practice among the people, and it is also stated in the etiquette and law that if there are unavoidable reasons, it can violate the law of filial piety and etiquette.
However, it is very rare for high-profile families and even royal nobles to do this, because these people pay attention to the word taboo. After the funeral has passed, they will have a happy event. The more unwilling to do so, the more willing to wait a year or three.
Furthermore, keeping filial piety is not so strict nowadays. Many people keep filial piety for one year.
These 100 days and a year are basically the same. No matter how high-level nobles hold a wedding, they have to prepare for several months, and even if they want to do it in a grand event, they have to prepare for more than a year.
A'Fu is very sorry for this opportunity, "It would be great if the prince could return to Beijing at this time."
The imperial concubine also thought, but obviously this time the marriage, there is no way to get the eighth to come back.
However, the word filial piety reminded her.
What if you didn't come for a happy event, but for a funeral?
"By the way, is the old lady of the Xiangfu really gone?" asked the imperial concubine.
A Fu said: "She died in the epidemic area and was beaten to death by the people, but it was miserable, her face was blurred, General Li packed up the body, but was looted by the people again, saying that she wanted her body to be left without bones. Save."
The imperial concubine recalled her methods, "It's a pity."
If it can be used by her, this old lady is also one of her strong generals.
“Now Prime Minister Xia is still in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, do you want the concubine?” Ah Fu asked tentatively.
The imperial concubine sneered, "Without the old lady's Prime Minister Xia, what's the use?"
Three days to prepare for a grand wedding, which really made it difficult for the Ministry of Rites and the Inner Palace.
They all tried their best to set up the palace and then prepare for the wedding.
However, what saves a lot of trouble is that you don't know who the woman is, you don't need to give a big gift, you don't need to think about arrangements such as dowry.
But holding a grand wedding in three days is really not enough.
In order to save time, the internal affairs side found Hu Huanxi from Ding Fung and asked her to host the banquet. That is to say, all the ingredients for the dishes and the chefs at the banquet were from Ju Xian Ju under Ding Fung. The palace has never held a large-scale banquet, and this time, the Empress Dowager was under the decree of the early court, and the officials of the early court had to attend, which meant that there were a lot of guests.
What bothers the inner government the most is the bridegroom's wedding dress. What can I do about it? There are only three days, even if the embroiderers work all night, they can't make it.
Because, the embroidery of the prince's wedding dress is very complicated, and it is possible to do it for half a year. Even if it is not very particular, it should be at least a month.
In the past three days, where are you going to tinker with a prince's wedding dress?
The internal affairs side was bombed. It was a last resort. The head of the internal government went to the empress dowager. The empress dowager thought about it and said, "It's too late to rush the order, so let's just say that when Prince Li got married that day, the wedding dress was Ai's family. If you personally order people to work, Aijia will ask him to borrow it.”
The head of the inner government smiled bitterly, "Isn't this more difficult than rushing to make things, Prince Wenli to borrow something?"
Prince Li is not mean or stingy, he just thinks that some things are his own and cannot be lent to others.
The Empress Dowager smiled, "Aijia naturally has a way to treat him."
After the Chief of Internal Affairs left, the Empress Dowager instructed Eunuch Sun to make an arrangement, and then passed the ceremony to the Prince to enter the palace.
Sure enough, when Prince Li heard the Empress Dowager ask him to borrow wedding dresses, he stretched his face and said unhappily, "This can't be borrowed, how can it be borrowed? You can borrow everything, even your shorts. "
"The third child, isn't this a last resort?" the empress dowager persuaded.
"You can also borrow it from others, why do you have to ask this king?" Prince Li said.
"Jie is the regent. Of all the princes, your dress is the most exquisite."
Prince Li complained: "It's not a big deal to get married. Do you have to be so particular about it? You can't just wear one? You can use his royal dynasty clothes, as well as the regent dynasty clothes."
"Okay, Ai's family doesn't ask you anymore, I remember you told Ai's family before that your wedding dress is also very important, maybe you will marry again in the future, you keep it, so that you won't have to do it again in the future. Do one." The Queen Mother said.
Prince Li was stunned for a moment, then murmured, "Isn't this a joke before?"
When I got married on that day, I didn't like the princess very much. She was not beautiful and she was very fierce. So when I entered the palace to greet her, everyone talked about it and said that his daughter-in-law was fierce, and he said that he would marry another one in the future.
These were all sentimental words at the time, and I've made such a joke in my life.
"Whether it's a joke or a sincere one, Aijia has heard many times that you say that your daughter-in-law is not. Now think about it, it's okay to keep this wedding dress, Aijia doesn't know when to change it. A concubine."
Prince Li's eyes widened, "Nonsense, when did this king say she's wrong?"
"You said she was fierce, didn't you?"
Prince Li thought for a moment, "I said it."
"You call her rude?"
Prince Li nodded, "It seems to have said so."
"You say she's not good-looking?"
Prince Li swallowed his saliva and said, "This, is it good-looking or not, it's fine if it's pleasing to the eye."
"Hey, the dignified Princess Bei'an married you, and you said it was rude, fierce and ugly. How wronged?" The Empress Dowager sighed.
