The starry sky reflected by the red lanterns that stayed on all night became a little dim. Just after the third watch drum, the lights in Grandma Sun's room were turned on first. Yunyan, who was on duty in Li Yuhua's house, was still awake and heard the sound of the night watch drum.
He also sat up, fumbled with the fire folding paper and lit the candle. As soon as he put on the palace clothes, he saw Yunque gently pushing the door open and coming in. Seeing that there was no movement in the tent, Yunque and Yunyan exchanged looks, and Yunque rubbed his slightly cold cheeks.
He held his hand and lowered his voice and said, "I've asked the little girl to fetch water. Now let's get the girl up."
Today is an auspicious day for the wedding. His Royal Highness will come at the auspicious time in the morning to welcome the bride. The girl also has to get up early in the morning to dress up.
Yunyan woke up Li Yuhua, and the skylark tested the water temperature in the copper basin. As soon as Li Yuhua washed his face, Grandma Sun came. There were more than a dozen boxes and jars spread out on the dressing table, which contained various colors of rouge, gouache, balm, and jade.
Looking out the window at the lights in the courtyard swaying in the night, I couldn't help but say, "It's really early."
"It's not too early. The girl should get dressed first. Mrs. Yong'an Hou will come over first and have breakfast. It's time for everyone who came to accompany the girl to accompany her. The auspicious time is at the beginning of the morning, and His Highness the Third Highness should be here." Sun
As she spoke, the nanny first served her to put on a silver-white inner gown, and a phoenix shawl embroidered with dark silver thread on the sacred bird. The phoenix head was on the left chest, and the phoenix tail was reflected in the mirror flying up to the shoulder.
Li Yuhua turned her head and looked into the tall mirror, and couldn't help but secretly sigh at how exquisite and beautiful the clothes were. Who would have seen the underwear underneath? But it still took so much effort to make such exquisite tailoring and embroidery.
Such wealth must be fought for by everyone.
Grandma Sun's joyful eyes suddenly turned cold when she looked at her. Li Yuhua suddenly smiled, and the joy of the wedding dispelled the slight coldness. She looked at Grandma Sun in the mirror and said, "This dress is so beautiful."
Grandma Sun stood by the side with her hands down. This was a habit she had developed for most of her life. Even though Li Yuhua was very polite to her, she did not go beyond it.
"The girl looks good in her clothes."
"I feel the same way."
The big dress has a long skirt, so it's not too late to wear it when it's time to get married. Li Yuhua sat in front of the makeup mirror, and was dressed by the nanny from the Department of Internal Affairs. Just as she was about to help Li Yuhua make her face, Aunt Zheng came over first.
He smiled and bowed, "Girl, Madam Yong'an Hou is here."
After a while, he heard faint chatter and laughter in the courtyard. Li Yuhua stood up and went out to meet him. He saw a beautiful woman in a first-grade imperial attire surrounded by Mrs. Xu, the old lady. Xu Huiran and Xu Wanran were also accompanying her. The woman
Her appearance was indescribable. When she first entered the room, Li Yuhua felt that the room was very bright. In the past, she thought Mrs. Xu's appearance was quite good, but in front of this beautiful woman, she was mediocre and dull.
Strange, it's just a mediocre woman's ear.
Mrs. Yong'an Hou bowed lightly and said, "Miss, you are too polite. How dare you bother me to greet her personally?"
Li Yuhua returned the gift with a smile in his eyes, "I'll have to pay more attention to you, Madam, today."
Li Yuhua has not been in the imperial capital for a long time, and has only appeared less often. Mrs. Yong'an Hou has not seen her yet. Originally, Mrs. Yong'an Hou was a little unhappy because her husband rashly accepted Lu Hou's invitation for her. Yong'an Hou's family has been rich and well-informed.
, Mrs. Yong'an Hou knew some inside stories about the third prince's marriage. She didn't like the third prince's frivolousness, but also despised the Xu family. How could she be willing to join the Xu family as a full blessing. However, later she heard from the eldest princess Fengyang several times
While praising the third prince's concubine, Mrs. Yong'an Hou did not expect that the eldest daughter that the Xu family hastily picked up for marriage would be so relaxed and generous, saluting and speaking without any shyness.
Mrs. Yong'an Marquis had some sympathy for Li Yuhua in her heart. Looking at her now, she couldn't help but like her even more. She smiled and said, "I heard the eldest princess praise the girl in the past. When I saw her today, she really deserves the eldest princess's praise."
Mrs. Yong'an Hou asked Li Yuhua to continue dressing up. Li Yuhua had a half-inch long scar on his forehead. In the past, it was covered by Liu Hai, but now she has to comb her hair into a bun for weddings. When the forehead Liu Hai is combed back, the scar is visible.
It is old, and the skin color is the same as the surrounding skin, but the scar is no longer smooth and delicate, and is a little conspicuous. The housekeeper's hand shook, "Girl, I need to use thicker powder to cover it up."
Mrs. Xu, the old lady, was also a little surprised. Xu Huiran said, "You can't see it if you cover it with powder. My sister's scar is not obvious."
"There's nothing to hide. Don't apply too much powder on me to cover up my great blessing." Li Yuhua casually said a bunch of nonsense, "Fortune tellers all say that my scar is good. Originally, I was just an ordinary person.
Life, suddenly having this scar changed my life. All my happiness comes from this scar."
Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "You can draw good lots, Wei Dao Yuhua."
"I was born with strong hands."
Aunty of the Secretary of Internal Affairs: The third prince’s concubine really puts a lot of money on her face.
Before combing his hair, Marquis Yong'an stepped forward and combed Li Yuhua ten times, reciting the auspicious words "One comb to the end, two combs to make the white hair even to the eyebrows..." Li Yuhua couldn't help feeling a little sad, and said, "We don't have imperial capital in our hometown.
It’s important to note that before a bride gets married, her own mother combs her daughter’s hair.”
Li Yuhua sighed sadly, but a deep chill suddenly appeared in Mrs. Xu's heart. Her wrinkled eyes were slightly moist, and she looked at Li Yuhua. Maybe she didn't realize it, but there was a trace of fear in her muddy eyes.
Mrs. Xu stiffly covered her eyes with a handkerchief, choked softly, and advised Li Yuhua, "Your mother is knowledgeable, and she is pleased to see you doing so well. Good boy, if you don't dislike me, treat me as your mother."
.”
Li Yuhua narrowed her eyes, with a hint of sarcasm flashing across her eyes. She fiddled with a ruby ring between her fingers and advised her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, "Look at you, I'm not crying, but you are crying. If my wife hadn't been thinking about me, I would have
My wife and father remember me, how can I be as lucky as I am today?"
Xu Huiran said softly, "Looking at what eldest sister said, my grandmother, father and mother have never forgotten eldest sister. They are just being naughty and wronging eldest sister."
Li Yuhua glanced at Xu Huiran's gentle and hypocritical face in the mirror and said nothing.
Mrs. Yong'an Hou combed her hair and handed the comb to the housewife, who continued to twist Li Yuhua's hair. Li Yuhua was still young, not yet mature, and was thin. She looked a little like a girl pretending to be an adult when she combed her bun.
The princess wants to wear a seven-tailed phoenix crown, and must wear a high bun to match it.
After Li Yuhua had finished combing her hair into a bun and applying light makeup, Mrs. Xu invited Mrs. Yong'an Hou to have breakfast with her. Mrs. Yong'an Hou said "Sorry to bother you", and everyone had breakfast in Li Yuhua's room.
The Xu family's breakfast is always sumptuous, but today I need to add another word. Li Yuhua always has a good appetite, and today is no exception. He drank a bowl of porridge, ate a drawer of xiaolongbao, and also used many side dishes.
On the other hand, Mrs. Xu, the old lady, couldn't eat much. Xu Huiran and Xu Wanran had always had a small appetite and could only eat it lightly. Mrs. Yong'an Hou ate a lot. Her life was beautiful and her manners were also extremely elegant. Every move was reflected.
She is indescribably beautiful. Moreover, when you meet Mrs. Yong'an Hou, you will understand that beauty is beauty, no matter what age she is, she is a beauty.
After breakfast, the imperial ministers who came to accompany Li Yuhua arrived. Li Yuhua also put on a formal dress and sat on the couch, listening to the nanny from the Department of Internal Affairs introducing each imperial family. In addition to Mrs. Yong'an Hou, Li Yuhua also met Mrs. Lu Hou.
Mrs. Lu Hou is a low-key woman who doesn't talk much, and her appearance is just delicate. However, it can be seen that she has a good friendship with Mrs. Yong'an Hou, and the two of them also talk with each other with a closeness.
In addition, there was a fourth-grade Pei Gong. Li Yuhua was moved and asked, "I heard that the number one scholar last year was named Pei, but is he the same clan as Gong?"
Pei Gongren replied respectfully, "It is my wife's unscrupulous son who was expelled from the family."
Li Yuhua took a deep look at this woman, whose face revealed a hint of shrewdness, and said to herself, ah, it turns out you are the Granny Diao mentioned in my sister Muxiang's letter.
However, from Pei Gong's appearance, we really can't see the earth-shattering beauty of Pei Zhuangyuan. It seems that Pei Zhuangyuan's appearance is not worthy of his mother. Could it be that Lord Pei is an extremely rare handsome man.
Random thoughts flashed through Li Yuhua's mind as she listened to her grandma continue to introduce other orders.
The royal arrangements were always trivial and considerate. Everyone was saying some festive words. Suddenly, they heard a burst of thunder outside, and a light breeze mixed with moisture passed through the window. It was already autumn rain outside, and the rain came like threads, drop by drop.
The raindrops rolled down in rows along the gray eaves, hitting the blue bricks under the eaves, causing subtle ripples, and then gathered into thin and shallow streams, either spreading into the ground or flowing to lower places.
.
The sky and the earth were filled with gentle rain. Li Yuhua looked at the gray sky outside and frowned, "Isn't this a big day planned in advance? How come it thunders and rains at the same time?"
Mrs. Yong'an Hou said hurriedly, "We had to clean the water and splash it on the street. This light rain will save us a lot of trouble. Don't worry, the rain will stop and the sky will clear up soon."
"Yes. People say that rain brings wealth. When it rains, the air is extremely fresh." There was also a man who hurriedly said auspicious words.
Li Yuhua said in her heart, no matter how clever you are, you haven't heard that it will rain well on the big day. Hey, I don't know if His Highness brought an umbrella when he went out, so don't get wet on the road.
Mu Anzhi was very lucky. As soon as he arrived at Xu's house, it started to rain. Xiao Yi held an umbrella for Mu Anzhi, and the float following him drove directly into the gate. Firecrackers were set off in front of Xu's house, and for a moment, the sound of music spread.
When they arrived at the inner house, Mrs. Yong'an Hou smiled and said, "His Royal Highness is here, where is the hijab of the empress?"
Grandma Sun came forward with a golden red sandalwood tray. Mrs. Yong'an Hou took off the hijab embroidered with dragons and phoenixes and placed it on Li Yuhua's head.
Mu Anzhi stepped on the ground wet with autumn rain, and went to the front hall to meet Xu Zhen politely. The father-in-law and his son-in-law greeted each other. Mu Anzhi said, "Father-in-law is polite, and now I have come to marry the bride on your Majesty's order."
Xu Zhen was a little happy when he saw that Mu Anzhi was wearing a bright red wedding dress, with his hair tied in a golden crown, and he was also elegant and handsome. He said politely, "Your Highness, please."
Weng and his son-in-law really had nothing to talk about, and the officials around Mu Anzhi were extremely solemn. Marquis Yong'an was lively and smiled and cupped his hands at Xu Zhen, "Master Xu, congratulations."
"Same joy." Xu Zhen returned the gift with his hands in hand. Just as he was about to say a few more words to his colleagues, Mu Anzhi frowned imperceptibly. Xu Zhen was afraid that if he didn't go to Mu Anzhi's liking, he would make him lose face, so he immediately
Please speak inside.
All the officials followed Mu Anzhi to the inner house to welcome the bride. According to the ceremony, the groom had to salute his parents-in-law. Mu Anzhi pretended that he had not seen Mrs. Xu at all, and bowed slightly to Mrs. Xu, "These days, please take care of sister Yuhua."
.”
Mrs. Xu quickly said, "It's all my duty."
Li Yuhua heard the voice and turned his head slightly in the direction of Mu Anzhi. When Mu Anzhi saw a woman with a hijab and a princess costume sitting on the couch, he walked over and called to the red hijab, "Sister Yuhua?"
"Third brother, you are here."
"It's raining outside, let's go now. It won't be good if it rains heavily soon."
Listen to this unbridled talk. What does "not good" mean? What are these words on a happy day?
Mrs. Yong'an Hou helped Li Yuhua stand up, "Your Highness, you are impatient to wait." Yunque Yunyan helped Li Yuhua hold up the skirt of the big dress.
Li Yuhua saw the golden dragon embroidery on the hem of Mu Anzhi's wedding dress from under the hijab. Mu Anzhi stretched out his hand and said, "Let me support you. Your clothes are quite big. It's still raining outside."
In fact, she and Mu Anzhi often met, but for some unknown reason, she saw Mu Anzhi's slender hands from under the hijab, reflecting the bright red sleeves, and they became more and more shiny and white. She couldn't help but feel her cheeks warm, and her heart was filled with excitement.
She hesitated a little, and after a while, she gently put her hand into Mu Anzhi's palm. Mu Anzhi held it carefully, and felt that Li Yuhua's hand was so weak and thin, which made people feel a little pity for it.
The moment their skins touched each other, Li Yuhua was scorched by the warmth in Mu Anzhi's palm, but her heart that was shaking with trepidation suddenly felt certain. Li Yuhua held Mu Anzhi's hand tightly with her backhand: This is a common choice between her and fate, and she is willing to choose this forever.
Let her spend her life with a man who is full of kindness towards her.
Mrs. Yong'an Hou consciously retreated to the side and looked at the two newlyweds with a smile. Mu Anzhi took Li Yuhua's hand and walked out of the courtyard. The two did not speak anymore, but there was some unspeakable emotion flowing along the palms of their hands.
delivered to each other's hearts.
In front of the second gate, Mu Anzhi helped Li Yuhua get on the float.
Xu Zhen warned, "Be careful, be careful, work hard day and night, and never disobey orders."
Mrs. Xu was in a complicated mood, her clothes were wet in the autumn rain, and she said to Li Yuhua, "I encourage you to do it, your father has taught me, and I will continue to do so."
These are the procedures that the Department of Internal Affairs has to go through. Li Yuhua is already familiar with them and responds appropriately, "Yes."
The float drove away from the Xu Mansion amidst the sound of music. Mu Anzhi was driven by his own prince, and the rest were accompanied by ministers who ordered carriages, sedans and horses to follow. There were also palace guards and imperial guards accompanying them. In this majestic procession,
In the royal ceremony, Li Yuhua was sitting on the princess's float, listening to the sound of raindrops falling on the roof and the laughter and chatter of the onlookers on the street, as she drove towards the turbulent Forbidden Palace.
