The Queen Mother prepared two sets of tiaras early in the morning, one that was relatively festive and the other that was relatively elegant. Although she didn't say it clearly, the meaning was already obvious.
Xiao Nianzhi had not passed her filial piety, so the festive outfit was temporarily unavailable, so naturally she helped her add makeup to Princess Chengjun.
Concubine Hui has also made preparations. Xiao Siye and General Guo's house have all sent things in advance. They are afraid that she will have few things in hand and the makeup will not look good, which will cause her to lose face and hurt the little girl's self-esteem.
In fact, it really doesn't.
No matter what is added, Princess Chengjun's expression and posture will always be the same.
There is a slight arrogance in her elegance and dignity. Every time she sees her, Xiao Nianzhi can only feel a sense of depression.
Every time at this time, she was very lucky that she had tried her best to stay rational and not allow herself to be assimilated.
The day before Princess Chengjun gets married, the inner court will arrange for someone to escort the princess's dowry to the Prince Consort's house.
The prince-in-law needs to bring someone to the palace to thank him in person.
When the couple gets married, the ceremony starts in the morning.
It does not mean that the prince-in-law brings people into the palace, picks up the princess, and the kiss is the end.
The process is extremely long.
Xiao Nianzhi woke up early, still a little excited.
After all, I personally watched an ancient princess get married, which is quite interesting when I think about it.
However, only after the actual follow-up process, Xiao Nianzhi discovered...
It's tiring and cumbersome.
She even thought unconsciously that if she and Yan Xingxuan got married one day, would it be like this?
When the princess wakes up in the morning, she needs to say goodbye to her Majesty and the Queen first. This is similar to saying goodbye to her parents.
After that, they went to the Queen Mother's Palace to say goodbye.
After that, you still need to accept gifts from the concubine.
The royal backyard is so big. Although the bride is sitting on a soft sedan during this process, others have to walk completely. They also need to ensure the bride's stability. You can imagine the speed.
Not only that, after the consort enters the palace with his people, the above process needs to be completed again, and then at noon, there will be a farewell banquet at His Majesty's side.
This process in the palace started before the sun came out in the morning, and it didn't end yet after noon!
In the afternoon, the prince-in-law could finally welcome his bride away. After leaving the palace, he had to salute and thank her at the palace gate.
Then the ceremony for the princess's wedding still needs to be carried out at the auspicious time calculated by Qintian Monitoring, heading to the auspicious place, almost walking around half the streets of the capital.
It was not until dusk that the prince-in-law took the bride back to her house and began the worship ceremony.
Xiao Nianzhi only followed him for the morning, and he was already so tired that his soul left his body.
If it hadn't been for noon, the food at the farewell banquet would have been quite delicious, and it healed her a little.
Xiao Nianzhi felt that she didn’t even want to go to the farewell ceremony when she left the palace in the afternoon!
The princess finally left the palace, but the couple's ceremony was not over yet. Xiao Nianzhi was so tired that he lay down directly.
Seeing the little girl's extremely tired look, Yan Xingxuan felt distressed and amused at the same time.
He wanted to say that if they get married in the future, they won't need so many ceremonies.
At least, Xiao Nianzhi is in the house and there is no need for such trouble.
However, the process of marrying a prince to his wife is actually quite complex, and the rules are even more cumbersome and troublesome.
However, no matter how tired I am, the marriage will still happen and my wife will still be married.
Moreover, after getting married, he could also ask the emperor's brother if he could take the princess to live in the fief for a few years.
The main thing is that his fiefdom is close to the sea and has abundant ingredients. Maybe he can have many different kinds of food to enjoy?
After leaving the palace, there are all the etiquette procedures of the Minister of War.
Xiao Nianzhi did not follow him out of the palace, but only walked to the palace gate. After watching the honor guard go away, he followed Yan Xingxuan back.
She had almost no interaction with Princess Chengjun. She had met her once before when she went to visit the sick Queen.
After the lipstick was made and delivered to everyone in the harem, I saw it again.
Then it’s time to add the dowry and get married today.
Well, I got married today, and the other party went out directly with a hijab, and Xiao Nianzhi didn't even see the other party's face.
Therefore, I actually didn’t have any emotional ups and downs in my heart. I just felt lively and festive, and my mood got better unconsciously.
After sending the princess out of the palace, Xiao Nianzhi was free in the afternoon and had nothing to do.
Of course, she couldn't stay idle.
After all, I was still thinking about making lipstick.
After making them before, I first gave some to everyone in the harem, and then some to the ladies of the powerful.
Now that everyone is using it well, they naturally promote it to her.
This thing is actually quite durable.
However, Xiao Nianzhi obviously took this into consideration when making it.
Therefore, each stick is extremely small, less thick than Xiao Nianzhi's little finger, and less than half as long as his little finger.
The push tube that holds lipstick is made of bamboo or wood.
When Xiao Nianzhi had the idea, he had already asked Yan Xingxuan to find someone to make a batch.
Now I just take it and use it directly.
Not to mention, compared to the kind that is applied directly, this kind of small tube can be applied directly without sticking to your hands once you open it, twist it, and send it out. Everyone quite likes it.
After Xiao Nianzhi gave the gift, many people thought it was very good. Especially in the spring when it was windy and dry, everyone's demand for this kind of thing was even greater.
Now Xiao Nianzhi has received a lot of orders.
Because this thing is rare, easy to use, and has nothing added in it. The raw materials are not cheap, so the price is higher.
Of course, Xiao Nianzhi also bought the raw materials with his own money.
Occasionally using it can still be regarded as her share of temporarily living in the harem, but she still needs to turn this into a long-term business, so when she uses it a lot, it is naturally more comfortable to pay for the materials herself.
Xiao Nianzhi and Yan Xingxuan quickly went to work.
When spring came into bloom in March, the inner court, after experiencing all kinds of pickiness from Yan Xingxuan, went out in a big way and came up with a balm that satisfied many people.
After everyone in the inner court brainstormed, they decided to give it a temporary name: Summer Fragrance.
Don't tell me, it sounds quite romantic.
Because the initial research direction was to satisfy Yan Xingxuan.
Therefore, after the research was completed, they sent people over again to explain to Yan Xingxuan.
Although in fact, they don't really want to hand it over.
Because, they were very satisfied with the fragrance this time.
They even secretly expected that if Yan Xingxuan was not satisfied, they would come back and conduct a few more experiments before dedicating it to the Queen!
Yan Xingxuan actually doesn't know much about fragrance. Recently, he made lipstick with Xiao Nianzhi and learned a little bit about it, but not much.
However, if he has a nose and can smell it, and if he finds it good and satisfied, he will naturally not let it go.
This time the incense prepared by the inner court made him very satisfied.
It seems to be surrounded by a light fragrance, feeling the stunning moment of the flowers blooming, and the comfort of the lingering fragrance.
Yan Xingxuan was obsessed for a while, and then clapped his hands excitedly: "This is good, this... Ning An will definitely like it!"
