Chapter 51 The palace is their maiden's home
"These people are really lucky!"
"No, I served as a soldier for the prince for a month. Not only did I give them land, but I also gave them a bride. Such a good thing, why didn't it happen to our brothers..."
"You, you have a beautiful idea. If this word spreads, you won't be afraid that your mother-in-law will kill you..."
"I heard that Fang Laoliu from Hujia Hutong is also among these people..."
Seeing the bride walking towards the groom under the guidance of the palace ladies, the onlookers couldn't help but express envious voices.
The prince acted as matchmaker, and the governor officiated their marriage...
Such a thing is worth showing off even when the family is full of children and grandchildren in the future. Not everyone can enjoy such a good thing, only those strong men who have participated in the defense of the city can have their turn.
However, during the wedding process, Zhu Guoqiang, as the matchmaker, downplayed his role, not that he wanted to do so, but to "avoid suspicion". After all, he was a vassal, and if he was too public, someone would definitely
Refer to the previous book.
Therefore, sometimes, it is better to be cautious. In fact, the wedding was hosted by Song Xuezhu, the governor of Shandong, and Zhu Guoqiang was more of a bystander.
But being cautious is prudent, and you still have to do what needs to be done. After all, you have done so much work, and if you don’t get the favor back, how can you be worthy of your efforts?
However, this favor can be changed in another way.
Yu Xiaobao was in a trance amidst the shouts of "One bow to heaven and earth, two bows to the high hall, and husband and wife bow to each other." He could only hear the sound of his own heartbeat. He was holding a red silk colored ball in his hand and his eyes were straight.
He stared at the red hijab, imagining the appearance of the man under the hijab.
"Sent to the bridal chamber..."
Following this shout, Yu Xiaobao lightly held the red silk strip and walked with the bride towards the "bridal chamber" not far away. The so-called "bridal chamber" was actually a tent, with hundreds of tents in a row.
The decorated flowers were inlaid with something like a century-old marriage, a phoenix flying... all of them were auspicious and endearing celebratory words.
After being sent into the "bridal chamber", Yu Xiaobao nervously looked at the "bridal chamber" without a bed and stood there in confusion.
"Bridal officer, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and take off your hijab, the Crown Princess is still waiting to see you over there!"
Xi Niang's reminder made Yu Xiaobao respond with "oh oh", and then took the scale. The moment he picked up the red hijab, he was dumbfounded. What came into his eyes was a pretty and charming face full of shame.
Red cheeks.
Is he his future husband?
The moment the red hijab was lifted, even though she was shy, Cui'er couldn't help but look at him shyly.
His appearance can't be said to be handsome, but he's definitely not ugly. Fortunately, he doesn't have a missing nose or eyes. It's okay, it's okay... While he was secretly rejoicing, Xi Niang urged her again.
"Sister Cui, when you meet the Crown Princess, do you know how to salute? You can't lose your etiquette."
"I know, thank you sister for reminding me."
The woman replied slowly.
This is the first time that Yu Xiaobao has heard her voice. Her voice is very good - not shrill, not delicate. Just from the sound alone, you can tell that she has a good temper. Her hair is neat and smooth, and judging from her appearance, it is at best
She must be seventeen or eighteen years old. She is his wife.
"What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and have a drink? Why are you acting like a fool? I want to wait until I get home and see enough for myself. There will be people waiting behind me!..."
Xi Niang's words made Cui'er next to her chuckle lightly, and she took the initiative to pick up the wine glass. After drinking the wine, Yu Xiaobao, at Xi Niang's reminder, walked out of the back door of the tent first. The bride also asked
Change clothes, after all, this palace dress will be worn by other brides later.
Finally, when he came out again, he saw that Cui'er had changed into a cloth. Even so, she still looked like a fairy in his eyes. Then they followed the others along the path of the flower shed and walked into a room.
In the house, in the middle of the house, Li Jingyun, the Crown Princess, was sitting there - even the Crown Princess who had never passed the imperial examination was still the Crown Princess.
Because of his status, Yu Xiaobao didn't dare to raise his head at all, or even take a deep breath. He just nervously met the ceremony with the others.
"You all take two steps forward."
Sitting upright, Li Jingyun felt less nervous now. She knew what she was doing, which was to show favor to the prince.
"The daughter of the common people has met the imperial concubine."
Cui'er and her sisters walked to the Crown Princess together, lowered their heads, put their hands on their waists and blessed her.
"Today is a good day for you to get married. You are all miserable people. You must live a good life in the future, do you understand?"
"Folk girls know."
Then after saying a few simple words, Li Jingyun said again.
"The groom and his officials all stepped forward and stood beside the bride."
When the grooms walked up, Li Jingyun said again.
"Although these women are all poor women, lonely and without any relatives, but since the prince acted as a matchmaker and I personally sent the girl out, she is from Prince De's Palace. From now on, Prince De's Palace will be their natal family.
They are all good girls, you must not let them down, otherwise, I will definitely not let you off lightly when the time comes!"
"The common people dare not..."
When the grooms heard this, they dared to say "no".
These words were not said casually. When the grooms said they did not dare, Li Jingyun then said to the grooms:
"Since you are all married, you must abide by the rules of women's conduct and listen to your husband's words. Give him a few sons and give him a few more. Bring your firstborn children and show them to me. When the time comes,
, the Crown Prince will naturally give gifts to your children, after all, you are considered members of the royal family."
"Yes, a civilian girl would never dare to disgrace the reputation of the palace."
Like other brides, Cui Er answered respectfully.
Everything was the rules taught to them the day before. They were not lonely orphans, but were married as palace servants of Prince De's Palace. This meant that Prince De's Palace was their natal family, and this was also specially arranged by Zhu Guoqiang.
This means that he will have tens of thousands of "family members" in Jinan.
"Okay, go ahead, go ahead!"
Li Jingyun said happily.
"From now on, just live a good life. If you are wronged in any way, just come back and I will make the decision for you."
Like other grooms, Yu Xiaobao bowed hurriedly, turned around and walked out. Cui Er followed him, and when she looked at his background, she also had a shy and smiling look on her face. This man
