Because the wedding was going to be held the next day, King Rui did not dare to delay any longer. If it affected the wedding again, or was discovered by others, it would be very bad. Then when the sky just darkened, he came again
Sent her back.
That night, Su Xiyue could be said to have suffered from insomnia. As time passed by, she gradually began to feel sleepy, and by mid-morning, she was tormented by others. First, the nuns from the residence came in to explain to her.
Some rules and etiquette for brides, as well as some customs that need to be paid attention to.
Then, the nun from the palace came to teach her some royal etiquette. In fact, she had already learned these beforehand, but today was the official day, and everyone was worried that the bride would be nervous and something would inevitably happen.
Errors. In fact, basically all brides who marry into the royal family will make some mistakes to one degree or another. The royal etiquette is really too complicated.
However, if it is a small mistake that is not very noticeable, it will naturally be ignored. But if it is a big mistake, it will be unlucky and will offend some elders of the royal family.
Before the nuns had finished explaining, Mrs. Li, Su Xiyue's aunt, had already come in.
Mrs. Li was wearing a rose-red dress, and she looked very festive! She said with a smile on her face, "It's time to give the head ceremony."
The person invited to be his superior is not an ordinary person, but Princess Jing!
This Princess Jing gave birth to three sons and two daughters. It can be said that she has both sons and daughters, and the couple has always lived in harmony. It is extremely rare for her to be invited to serve as Su Xiyue!
Su Xiyue was also a little surprised. This King Jing was not from the royal family, but a king with a different surname. He had fought on the battlefield before. In order to protect his family and country, he had also made great military exploits. It was said that he had been injured thirteen times, so he was...
Call him Thirteenth Lang. Of course, this is how people called him when he was young. Now, they all respectfully call him Prince Jing!
It is probably the first time in Beijing that Princess Jing can be invited to serve as her superior! This Princess Jing is a kind person, but she doesn't like to go out. If her father asked her to do it, she wouldn't believe it.
**, it was the Iceberg Prince’s idea again.
As for this, it is also very particular. The bride should choose a window table where the moon can be seen, light a dragon and phoenix candle, light a stick of incense, along with three bowls of lotus seeds, red dates, and soup balls, six or nine in each bowl.
Fruits, roasted meat and chicken hearts are offered to worship the heaven.
You also need to prepare a ruler, mirror, and scissors, which is the so-called "dragon-headed mirror and scissors", which means the light will follow. Then Mrs. Fuyun, who has both children, will comb the couple's hair, which is the so-called first ceremony.
Princess Jianjing was dressed in dark green palace attire, with a graceful manner, a smile on her face, and a sense of splendor and splendor.
"I have long heard that Prince Rui has found the most elegant woman in my Daqing to be his wife. When I saw her today, she is indeed well-deserved. Let me tell you, this Prince Rui will soon become the most blessed man in my Daqing."
Mrs. Li covered her lips and smiled and said, "Princess Jing, please stop praising her all the time. This girl can't help but praise her. It's almost time, let's start the head ceremony."
Princess Jing nodded, picked up a fine jade comb from the jade plate, and began to comb Su Xiyue's hair. While combing it, she said: "One comb to the end, two combs to the white hair."
Match your eyebrows, comb them with three combs until your children and grandchildren are all over the floor, and comb them with four combs until all four silver bamboo shoots are evenly matched."
After hearing this, Su Xiyue's face turned red and her eyelids drooped, naturally feeling embarrassed.
In fact, this wedding ceremony does not require Princess Jing to dress her hair in person, but is a formality, which can be regarded as symbolizing that the bride has entered the adult stage and is ready to get married. This aspect is actually similar to the hairpin ceremony for ordinary women.
place.
After the first ceremony, Princess Jing was invited by Mrs. Li to the flower hall for tea.
Su Xiyue simply ate an egg and drank a few mouthfuls of porridge, then she said a little tiredly, "It's not even noon yet. When will this end? I'm exhausted."
"Miss, you are talking nonsense again." Aunt Qing warned in a low voice.
The nun in the palace who was still here and had not returned directly said with a straight face, "Princess, today is a happy day for you and the prince, so don't talk nonsense again. This is unlucky.
of."
Su Xiyue sighed in her heart, but said carefully on her face, "Okay. I'll just be more careful."
Just after noon, Su Xiyue basically had no lunch, and she didn't even have to drink tea. She asked Xiao Lu to secretly bring her a bowl of Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup, but she only took a few sips.
He smelled footsteps and had no choice but to let Xiaolu hide.
"Congratulations to Princess Qingle. The servants are here to put on makeup for the princess."
Su Xiyue looked at the palace people in front of her who were all dressed the same, and said with some surprise, "It seems that there is no need to bother everyone about putting on makeup, right?"
"Miss, the slaves are from the Palace Bureau in the palace, and are responsible for the headdresses of the masters in the palace. Today, the slaves are here, and it is also the emperor's order. I also ask the princess to do it, so that the slaves can touch the princess's hair.
Blessing."
Su Xiyue raised her eyebrows, she really knows how to talk! She is obviously here to serve people, but she still wants to say that she likes this job so much, so let them go.
However, when Su Xiyue turned her head, she didn't see that the eyes of one of the palace maids seemed to be a little different!
The four maids served Su Xiyue and put on her wedding clothes first, leaving only the outermost robe to be put on last.
Then, the four people performed their duties, one was responsible for applying makeup, one was responsible for combing the hair, one was responsible for laying hands, and the third person was responsible for getting the jewelry for Su Xiyue to choose and wear it.
Just when Su Xiyue wanted to take a nap after being teased by them, she felt a pair of somewhat cold hands touch her right wrist. In an instant, a large number of pictures poured in quickly.
into his mind.
After Su Xiyue was stunned for a moment, she squinted her eyes and looked at the palace maid who had just put on her bracelet. She seemed to say unintentionally, "This sister looks familiar. I wonder where she works in the palace?"
"Back to the princess, I have served in Kunning Palace before." It seemed that she did not expect that Su Xiyue would suddenly talk to her. The palace maid showed some fear.
Su Xiyue smiled slightly and called softly, "Good time, beautiful scenery, come in and talk to me."
The hand of the palace maid who was putting on her bracelet visibly trembled! Su Xiyue, who was paying attention to her, naturally saw this scene in her eyes, and there was already a hint of faintness in her eyes.
It seems that some people finally couldn't bear it anymore.
