Chapter 222 The Princess Marries the Young Di Qing

Three days later, there was a joyous scene inside and outside the imperial palace, because today is the day when Princess Wei Zhao Min'er is married to Uncle Xizhou, General Zhenxi, Captain Consort, Commander of Qilin Army Di Qing.

As early as half a year ago, Zhao Min'er had been taken to live in the palace, and his biological mother Concubine Du also came back from the Dongzhen Temple outside the palace a few days ago.Because Zhao Zhen loved Zhao Min'er, the royal sister, almost all the concubines in the palace and Zhao Zhen's concubines participated in Zhao Min'er's marriage.

In a warm pavilion in the imperial palace, Zhao Miner, who was heavily made up, put on an emerald green skirt wedding gown under the service of a court lady. Only the neckline and other parts were bright red, and a red belt was tied around her waist. The figure is very similar to that of Chongyuan Ren Qing'er, both of which belong to the petite loli type, so after some careful dressing up, she looks exquisite and beautiful.

In the Song Dynasty, women wore green wedding dresses and men wore red wedding dresses, which originated from an idiom "red men and green women". In ancient times, when men were officials, the trousers of the dress were red, which represented status and identity. Women generally wore green clothes and black eyebrows. It is considered beautiful, so men and women are considered to be golden boys and jade girls, a match made in heaven.

There is also a saying that in ancient times, men were superior to women, and women had to take care of men and their families, and assist men to make achievements, just like green leaves help and nourish flowers. Some people say that women wear green, and women are required to be like green leaves. Heavy.

"Our Min'er is so beautiful! It's really cheap to that kid Di Qing!"

Princess Zhao Qingya of the Kingdom of Ji came in from outside with a smile on her face, and then teased Zhao Min'er.

"Aunt Seven!"

Zhao Min'er blushed immediately, and then hurriedly said shyly.

When a woman in the Song Dynasty got married, she needed someone to comb the bride's hair. Generally speaking, the person who combed the bride's hair was a woman with a happy family. This kind of woman was considered a blessed woman, which meant that she could convey good luck and happiness to the bride who was about to get married. woman.

A servant came in and said, "Princess Dachang, empress, it's almost time!"

Seeing this, Zhao Qingya just picked up a golden silk sandalwood comb, and then began to comb Zhao Min'er's hair, chanting while brushing.

"If you comb your hair, you don't have to worry about being rich;
Second comb comb to the head, no disease and no worries;
Three combs to the head, more children and longer life;
Comb to the end again, raise the eyebrows again;
Comb two combs to the end, fly together together;
Comb three combs to the end, and wear with one heart forever.

There are heads and tails, riches and honors. "

After Zhao Qingya finished combing her hair, all the female family members in the back room went outside to wait except for Zhao Qingya and Zhao Miner's personal maid. At this moment, Zhao Qingya just took out a stack of beautiful silk from her arms and handed it to Zhao Min'er.

Zhao Min'er took it over and took a closer look, only to see that it was embroidered with vivid erotic pictures, and couldn't help but feel red in the face.

Seeing this, Zhao Qingya hurriedly said: "The love between men and women is an important matter in human relations, so why be shy about it, Auntie told you, we will wait for the wedding ceremony in the bridal chamber."

"The auspicious time has come, let the princess board the sedan chair!"

Inside the Warm Pavilion, Zhao Qingya was telling Zhao Miner about the couple's intercourse, in case Zhao Miner would not understand anything and make a joke, it would be ridiculous, and at the same time, a singing sound came from outside.

"The auspicious time has come, let the princess board the sedan chair!"

When the door opened, Mrs. Du walked in first, and then Zhao Min'er hurriedly knelt down to Mrs. Du, but before she could kneel down, Mrs. Du helped her up with her hands, and then hugged Zhao Min'er tightly. The mother and daughter cried together.

"The auspicious time has come, let the princess board the sedan chair!"

The ritual officer raised his voice and shouted again.

Seeing this, Zhao Min'er bowed to Concubine Du just now, and then boarded the sedan chair.

The bridal sedan chair will go to the Ciyuan Hall first, and Zhao Min'er needs to go to greet Liu E, and then Liu E will give a few words of advice, which are generally about husband and son, hardworking and thrifty housekeeping.

Afterwards, the sedan chair will go to the Hall of Rituals, where Zhao Zhen and his son-in-law Di Qing are already waiting.

"Sister pays respects to Sixth Brother!"

Zhao Min'er saluted Zhao Zhen respectfully.

Zhao Zhen hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhao Min'er up, then glanced at Di Qing, and said, "Di Qing! Today is not only a good day for me to marry a princess in Song Dynasty, but also a good day for me to marry my sister. I hope you can treat me well. My little sister, if she feels aggrieved at all, my big uncle won't let you off easily!"

Di Qing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please don't worry. In Di Qing's heart, there is only the princess in this life. If the princess suffers the slightest grievance, I will let your majesty punish me!"

"Okay! Very good, I remember your words!"

Zhao Zhen turned to Zhao Min'er and said, "Min'er! You marry into the Di Mansion, which represents the face of my royal family, so you must refrain from extravagance and coquettishness, be filial to your parents-in-law, care for your husband and teach your children, and raise your eyebrows!"

"Brother Six! Min'er remember it!"

Zhao Min'er hurriedly bowed obediently to Zhao Zhen.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen stepped forward and took Zhao Min'er's hand, then handed it to Di Qing, and said, "Di Qing, I handed over my sister to you, and I wish you both grow old together and be united forever."

When the princess gets married, guards of honor, curtains, and barriers are set up along the road from the palace to Di's mansion, and waterways are required. The so-called waterways mean that the imperial army dispatches dozens of people, each with sweeping tools and gold-plated silver buckets. Sweep and sprinkle water on the passing road.

Zhao Zhen loved Zhao Min'er very much, so there were hundreds of sedan chairs used in the guard of honor, carried by the royal ceremonial team wearing purple shirts and curly-footed caps.

Di's mansion was cleaned up and down, inside and out. Di Qing's brother was at the door looking for congratulatory guests.

Di Qing's father is a retired soldier, and his mother is also an ordinary peasant woman. After Di Qing made military achievements, Zhao Zhen sent people to bring Di Qing's parents to live in Kaifeng, and rewarded him with a house. Every general in the Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhen treats their families well.

Therefore, Di Qing's father, Di An, and Zhao Zhen were also conferred the vain position of Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of War, and his mother, Chen, was also conferred the title of wife of the fifth rank. As for his elder brother Di Feng, Zhao Zhen let him join Jinyiwei , and now also relying on his own ability to become a hundred households of Jinyiwei.

In the hall of Di Mansion, Di An and Cheng Shi sat high on the high hall. Di An and Cheng Shi were both sitting on pins and needles, because the next part was the couple worshiping the hall, and then they kowtowed to their elders.

The royal princess is the emperor, so the etiquette previously formulated by the Ministry of Rites is that Di Qing's parents kneel outside the courtyard to welcome the princess Zhao Min'er, but Zhao Zhen believes that since ancient times, there has been an orderly relationship between seniority and inferiority.The elders come first, and the honor comes later, so Zhao Zhen canceled the etiquette of the in-law's family kneeling to welcome the princess, and changed the princess and consort to worship and get married like ordinary people's homes.
