The procedures for the emperor's wedding are roughly the same as those for ordinary people. Generally, the "six rites" agreed in the "Book of Rites" must be followed, namely, accepting gifts, asking for names, accepting gifts, accepting taxes, announcing the date, and welcoming in person.
The difference is that the wedding ceremony of the emperor's family is more grand and elaborate.
The woman who is chosen as the queen can also receive betrothal gifts sent by the emperor, but the emperor will not go to welcome the bride in person, but will have the queen's maternal family to present the bride ceremoniously. In other words, Shen Su'er will go to Kyoto to meet the emperor. Complete the wedding.
Huaicheng is a bit far from the imperial capital. If there are no mistakes on the road, it will take half a month at the fastest.
The royal family had to give them enough time to prepare. Shen Su'er was going to arrive at the palace three days in advance. The person who came to pick her up was afraid that there would be delays on the road due to weather or something, so they came to pick her up a day or two in advance. In other words, There are only a few days left for her to stay in Huaicheng.[
Shen Su'er stared blankly at the clouds in the sky, her head a little empty, and murmured: "Xiao Rong, are you going out today?" She seemed to have forgotten something a few days ago.
"No, I am the lady's maid. I will be wherever the lady is. The master asked me to follow you every step of the way. If you go out without authorization again this time - I, I... I will kick you out. And I can't accompany the young lady to Beijing." Xiao Rong was not only afraid of being punished, but also felt reluctant to let go of Shen Su'er. Since returning from the disappearance, the young lady has become a master without any airs. Originally, she wanted to call herself a "slave", but she couldn't. "I", because the young lady said that she was not used to it, and said that she could chat casually without any restrictions, and that she did not need to be treated as the master. She also said that she wanted to get along as sisters.
At that time, she was so moved. She had never received such equal treatment.
"Then...are you going out tomorrow?" Her dull expression didn't seem to have listened to Xiao Rong's words at all. She was just talking to herself.
"Is something wrong?" Xiaorong noticed.
"Well... that's right."
"The city lord allowed me to go home and meet my parents, because I am going to Beijing. I don't know if I will have a chance to meet again after leaving this time..." Xiao Rong said, showing a trace of sadness. As soon as she entered the palace gate It is as deep as the sea, even for a humble palace maid.
Originally, there were two maids to marry, one of whom was Xiaorong.
