On the tenth day of April, the third prince got married.
The prince's wedding has its own rules.
On this day, the emperor and the empress did not leave the palace, and everything was handled by the Ministry of Rites.
Yue Shangshu is Concubine Li's biological uncle, and he is also an unshakable party member of the Third Prince. He is dedicated to the Third Prince's marriage. This happy event was arranged with great excitement.
According to the rules of the Tian family, the third prince does not need to welcome the bride in person. He only needs to wear wedding clothes and wait in the prince's mansion.
However, the third prince insisted on going to the Xiao Mansion in person to welcome the bride, and the fourth prince, fifth prince, and seventh prince also accompanied him to welcome the bride, which gave the Xiao family a lot of face.
Princess Changping and the Third Prince have a very close relationship. They arrived at the Third Prince's Mansion early that day. With the dignity of Princess Changping, there was no need to welcome guests. She just sat in the inner hall and talked to the noble officials and their wives who came to congratulate them.
The second princess, Zhao Changqing, sat next to Princess Changping, her bright face full of smiles.
Zhao Changqing was Empress Yu's favorite disciple. After marrying the second prince, he did not have much contact with the second prince's biological mother, Concubine Xian, but he was very close to Empress Yu. He was also very familiar with Princess Changping.
"Today, when the Xiao family passed away, I gained another sister-in-law." Princess Changping joked with a smile: "Chang Qing, it seems that you are about to fall out of favor in front of your mother."
Zhao Changqing deliberately sighed softly: "The reason is that I only see the new people smiling, but not the old people crying. When new people come in, it is inevitable that the old person like me will be left aside."
"Speaking of it, I am quite lucky. I have been married for several years, and my mother has always doted on me. My sisters-in-law have just married one by one. The third brother and sister were only two months old, and the fourth brother and sister came in to compete for favor."
As soon as this was said, all the ladies laughed in amusement.
…
Xiao Mansion's wedding was particularly lively today.
Xiao Shangshu is a minister, and he is in charge of the household department with the most wealth. In terms of family background, the Xiao family is slightly inferior to the Li family. In terms of family wealth, the Li family is not as good as the Xiao family.
Xiao Yuhan's dowry was astonishingly rich. One hundred and twenty-eight people carried the dowry, and it took half a day to carry it out of the Xiao Mansion. To describe it as "ten miles of red dowry" is not an exaggeration.
The third prince came to welcome the bride in person. The Xiao family was proud and did not make things difficult for the groom. The third prince welcomed the bride smoothly.
Xiao Yuhan's heart was full of joy and sweetness, and it wasn't until he got on the sedan chair that he shed a symbolic tear or two.
The Third Prince's Mansion will be lively all day today, and the guests of the Xiao family, whose daughter is marrying, will gradually disperse after the wedding banquet at noon. The girls who came to congratulate and have a banquet also said goodbye and left one by one.
"Sister Xiao just got married."
Yin Xiaoxiao and Xiao Yuhan are the best friends, and today Xiao Yuhan is getting married, and she is also the most reluctant to let him go. She said sadly: "It won't be easy for me to see Sister Xiao in the future."
After marrying into the Heavenly Family and becoming a prince's concubine, there are so many rules and regulations that you can't have the freedom of being a girl in a boudoir.
Xie Mingxi laughed dumbly.
Before she could open her mouth, Yan Zhenzhen on the side had already rushed to say: "In a year and a half, you will also get married. Then you and Sister Xiao will become sisters-in-law. I don't know how convenient it will be to see each other."
When it came to getting married, Yin Xiaoxiao not only didn't let go, but became even more depressed: "I don't want to get married early."
Yan Zhenzhen pursed her lips, and there was a hint of sourness in what she said: "I married into the Tian family as a prince's concubine, and the fifth prince was born handsome and humorous. This kind of good luck can't be envied by others."
All the girls who were classmates have grown up and reached the age of marriage.
Xiao Yuhan was the first to get married, and soon it was Li Xiangru's turn. Yin Xiaoxiao and Xie Mingxi had also made arrangements to get married, and were just waiting to get married.
In addition to them, Lin Weiwei, Qin Sihun, Tong Yue and others also made arrangements to get married one after another.
Nowadays, only Sheng Jinyue, Yan Zhenzhen and Fang Ruomeng’s marriage is undecided.
Sheng Jinyue was affected by the decline of the Huainan Prince's Palace, and the high-ranking family she was interested in was not willing to get married with the Huainan Prince's Palace, so she delayed her marriage.
Fang Ruomeng was the most outstanding daughter of the Fang family, but she was born as a concubine. She was reluctant to marry low, and it was not easy to marry high.
And Yan Zhenzhen is the youngest, only fourteen years old this year. The Yan family is not in a hurry to arrange marriage for her, and wants to wait until she is old enough to have her hair.
But out of thousands of choices, I can’t find a good match like Yin Xiaoxiao and Xie Mingxi.
Yan Zhenzhen may not have a good impression of the fifth prince, it's just out of the girl's desire to compare.
…
Yin Xiaoxiao was not happy to hear such sour words, so she simply ignored Yan Zhenzhen, took Xie Mingxi's hand aside, and whispered: "In two months, Sister Li will get married. Next, it will be my turn.
Oh...eh!"
This plaintive sigh made Xie Mingxi laugh out loud: "What? You don't want to see the fifth prince so much?"
The fifth prince and Yin Xiaoxiao are a pair of happy enemies. They don't meet often. But every time they meet, they become angry. Out of ten times, Yin Xiaoxiao has the upper hand six or seven times.
Although the fifth prince is mean-mouthed, he actually always gives way to Yin Xiaoxiao. Otherwise, he wouldn't be "bullied" by Yin Xiaoxiao all the time.
Xie Mingxi saw it and found it interesting, but never criticized it.
Thinking of the arrogant and handsome face of the fifth prince, Yin Xiaoxiao curled her lips subconsciously: "Forget it, don't mention him. I want to beat him up when I mention him."
Xie Mingxi couldn't help but laugh.
The civil and military forces of Da Qi were seriously ill, so the princes all practiced martial arts after studying. The fifth prince practiced martial arts diligently and his skills were pretty good.
However, compared to Yin Xiaoxiao, it is really inferior.
Even if Xie Mingxi and Yin Xiaoxiao fought, the outcome was only 50-50.
Lin Weiwei also came over and said with a smile: "Today is a great day for Sister Xiao. We should all be happy for Sister Xiao. Sister Yin, what are you doing with such a sigh?"
Being teased like this, Yin Xiaoxiao felt a little embarrassed, stuck out her tongue and said no more.
Xie Mingxi and Lin Weiwei left Xiao Mansion in a carriage.
Lin Weiwei didn't know what she thought of, but she sighed.
Xie Mingxi smiled and teased: "You were making fun of others just now, but why did you laugh yourself in the blink of an eye?"
"My wedding is in the spring of next year." Lin Weiwei said gloomily: "The Lu family is next door. Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu are both kind and amiable elders. Brother Lu also treats me very well."
"But when I think about marrying into the Lu family, becoming a daughter-in-law, a wife, and a mother in the future, I feel a little confused and frightened."
Lin Weiwei is seventeen years old this year, at the age when she is at her peak. She has a beautiful and slender face that is charming. Those bright black eyes are particularly smart and flexible.
At this time, those eyes were full of confusion and depression.
Perhaps, this is also the anxiety shared by all young girls waiting to be married.
At home, she is well-dressed, well-fed, and pampered, with no fingers touching the spring, playing music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and wine.
After marrying as a woman, she should be filial to her parents-in-law, serve her husband-in-law, have children, take care of the household affairs, make firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea.
The difference between the two is more than a thousand miles?
