Seeing her mother hesitate to speak, Bai Banxia instantly understood what her mother was holding. Wasn't it the kind of thing that was packed at the bottom of the box?
She directly reached out and took it, opened it and looked at it.
Zhang Lingzhi's face turned even redder, "Hey, watch quietly so no one can see you."
"There's no one else here." Bai Banxia took it out nonchalantly and couldn't help complaining, "It's too rough, you can't see anything."
Zhang Lingzhi was dumbfounded. Then, she still needs to explain?
"Okay, mother, I'm a doctor and I know all this. Go and rest quickly. You'll be very busy tomorrow." Bai Banxia said.
"Oh, okay." My mother ran away as if she was relieved.
There was nothing to say all night, and in the blink of an eye, the next morning came. Before it was completely bright, Bai Banxia was woken up, and she started to take a bath and burn incense, and then combed her hair and make-up. The procedure was much more complicated than that of ordinary married women.
When daybreak comes, officials from the Ministry of Etiquette arrive and everything must be done according to regulations.
"Her father, have you remembered everything? I'm afraid something will go wrong later." Zhang Lingzhi said worriedly.
Bai Tian comforted his wife and said, "Don't be nervous. If you can't remember it when you enter the palace, just look at me and follow me."
"well."
The two of them also changed their clothes according to the regulations and looked brand new, but it was impossible to say that they were not nervous at all.
When the auspicious time came, Qi Zhen came to welcome the bride. After picking up Bai Banxia in a special wedding car, Bai Banxia went out carrying the dowry.
Originally, it was very tight to get from the Bai family residence to the Prince's Mansion, but the dowry and the wedding car did not go directly to Prince Ping's Mansion, but to the palace first. In this way, the 128 people carrying the dowry would have to walk through half of the capital.
As a result, the grand occasion of the ten-mile wedding attracted the attention of the people in Beijing. Many people found that the burden of carrying the dowry was extremely heavy, and every time it was carried, it was filled to the brim.
"Didn't you say that Princess Ping is just an ordinary peasant girl? Why is the dowry so generous?"
"It was probably prepared by Prince Ping. Prince Ping really loves the princess."
"You see all the rewards from the emperor. I heard that Princess Ping is a miracle doctor and has made great achievements in treating epidemic areas."
"Why are there so many people in Xuanji Hall over there? Are they also giving weddings?"
"..."
The route into the palace will pass through the streets near Xuanji Hall. All the elders and officials in Xuanji Hall have come out to get married. They cannot enter the palace at will, but they treat Bai Banxia as their own child and must give it to her.
She got married.
"Banxia, we are here to marry you!" the great elder said.
Bai Banxia's heart moved slightly, and she wanted to open the curtain. The elder outside said hurriedly: "Don't mess around. Just know that we are here, but don't cause us any trouble."
"Okay, thank you everyone!" she said loudly.
Everyone smiled and saw each other off until the wedding carriage entered the palace gate.
Originally, carriages were not allowed to enter the palace, but the emperor granted permission for today's wedding carriage to enter the palace gate and go to the inner hall. This can be regarded as a great deal of importance to Prince Ping's marriage.
As the wedding procedures went down one by one, Bai Banxia felt lucky that she was physically strong. If she were an ordinary woman, she would probably be exhausted. Even the decoration on her head was extremely heavy. How could her neck be hurt?
After the grand ceremony in the palace was over, a wedding banquet was held in the palace, but fortunately, as the bride, she only had to toast everyone three times before she could retire.
When Aunt You helped her out, she glanced at Qi Zhen worriedly. Qi Zhen's lips curled up in an arc she could understand, indicating that she didn't need to worry.
However, my parents also wanted to attend the banquet, which seemed a bit awkward, but fortunately, Qi Zhen was taking care of them, and no one dared to cause trouble for them, and it passed quickly.
The banquet in the palace did not last long, and then Qi Zhen took Bai Banxia out of the palace. The two of them got into the wedding car together and returned to Prince Ping's Mansion with a dowry of 128 pounds.
After that, Prince Ping’s Mansion entertained guests outside the palace.
As the only prince now, Prince Ping naturally had many nobles who came to congratulate him, and Bai Banxia invited the elders of Xuanji Hall, Zhou Hai's family, and the prime minister's wife.
Of course, the prime minister also came over happily and kept the whole town drunk for a long time.
When the night got late, the guests finally dispersed, and the parents also said goodbye and returned to their own homes, and Qi Zhen was finally able to enter the wedding room.
"Your Highness, please lift the hijab." Aunt You handed over the golden staff for lifting the hijab, and Qi Zhen took it and lifted the fiery red hijab.
Bai Banxia was already a little sleepy, and her almond-shaped eyes were a little blurry. Against the backdrop of the bright red wedding dress, she looked even more charming.
He took a breath of air and said, "Banxia, I finally married you back."
Aunt You couldn't help but laugh, "Your Majesty, don't worry, drink the Hexin wine, and wait until the old slave retreats, then you can whisper to the princess again."
It was rare that Qi Zhen blushed a little, and Bai Banxia also looked at him with a snicker, took the wine glass from Grandma You, and drank it down with him.
"I wish the prince and princess a happy marriage and a son soon!" Aunt You took the tray and left with satisfaction.
When the door was closed, he did not forget to say at the door: "You all stay away, don't disturb the prince tonight."
In the room, Bai Banxia's face turned hot. She was born in two generations, and she was not a little girl who was inexperienced in the world, but she had never been exposed to matters between men and women. At this moment, I don't know why the things my mother gave me at the bottom of the box kept popping up in my mind.
Something, my face burned even more.
"Banxia, are you drunk?" Qi Zhen laughed softly.
"I won't even get drunk if you get drunk." Bai Banxia gave him an angry look.
His head suddenly sank and he pressed it on her shoulders, "I seem to be a little drunk. I drank too much today and my internal strength has been exhausted."
Bai Banxia burst out laughing. Qi Zhen was a chatterbox when he was drunk, and he even talked about what was in his heart. People said that the wedding night was a night of flowers, but he was afraid that he would have to talk all night. He didn't know if he would be able to talk when he sobered up tomorrow.
Will it be very depressing?
"What are you thinking about? You are smiling so proudly?" He extinguished the red candle with a snap of his fingers, leaned over and kissed her.
"Aren't you drunk?" she asked in surprise.
"you guess!"
After a charming night, the two finally became husband and wife.
Early on the next morning, according to the rules, the two of them were allowed to enter the palace to express gratitude and serve tea, so after breakfast, they got into the carriage together.
Bai Banxia leaned lazily in the carriage and said with some complaints: "I'm so tired."
"Daughter-in-law, thank you for your hard work." Qi Zhen's eyes were very bright, as if he wanted to see into her heart.
He looked at her like that, which was inexplicably arousing. She didn't dare to look directly at him, so she hurriedly turned her head to look out of the car and muttered: "It will be a lot of hard work to enter the palace later and bow and thank you."
"No one needs us to serve tea now, it won't be too much trouble," Qi Zhen said.
The queen died during the previous palace turmoil and was no longer named queen. Now there are only two concubines managing the harem together. In addition, the queen mother is long gone. When the two of them enter the palace, they only meet the emperor and the two concubines. The other concubines
