Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy

Go to bed early, after all, the next day you will literally wake up earlier than the chickens.

Although it was a grand wedding, Xu Yixing himself did not have any special feelings about it.

To be frank, I just experienced the same scene a year ago. At that time, I was excited, shy, and stepped into a new life with great expectations and confidence.

However, Siqin and Sihua, who were experiencing this kind of thing for the first time, did not think so. They tossed and turned almost all night, and as soon as the appointed time came, they pulled Xu Yixing out of bed.

"You guys help me dress it." Xu Yixing didn't show any excitement or impatience. After all, they were doing it for his own good. He opened his arms and let the two dress him like a well-behaved puppet.

The costumes of the prince's wife have a total of five layers: an inner garment, a middle garment, a formal dress, an outer robe, and the outermost shawl. When all five layers were put on Xu Yixing, she felt that she was no different from a real puppet.

"This dress restricts my movements a bit." She raised her arms and wanted to move, but was ruthlessly stopped by Siqin.

"This is what the wedding dress looks like. You can only walk slowly with small steps when you put it on. Be patient. Madam and Madam will be here soon."

Sitting in front of the mirror, Xu Yixing carefully looked at the crown of the prince's wife. It was indeed much more luxurious than the one he wore before, but it looked a bit old-fashioned. They were all made in the palace and had no novelty at all.

"Oh, it's so heavy!" The moment the two men put the crown on his head, Xu Yixing felt his neck shrink a bit.

"Hahaha, young lady, do you think your crown is too heavy now? If you become a queen or princess in the future, I think the crowns they wear will be bigger than these two!"

"Don't talk nonsense. You can't keep talking about such things!" Xu Yixing stopped Si Hua from speaking sternly. The emperor was still alive, so how could he say such unlucky words.

"Yes, I spoke out of turn." Si Hua secretly lowered her head and smiled. Anyway, the young lady was not really blaming her.

"Xiaoyan, how is your cleaning going?" Gu's voice came in through the door. Xu Yixing just turned around and saw Gu coming in with the teaching nanny.

Gu's outfit today was particularly decent, a wine red gown, low-key yet decent. It seemed that she must have gotten up early to get ready.

"I'm sorry that I can't stand up to greet my mother. Please sit down." Xu Yixing stretched her neck and was unable to move as she was putting on the crown.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Gu smiled, found a chair and sat next to her.

This is also a wedding rule. When a daughter gets married, a mother needs to give her some instructions.

In fact, the earliest custom was crying at the wedding, which required the mother to cry out all her hopes for her daughter. But soon, the noble ladies in Beijing found that crying at the wedding was too undignified, and it was very easy to ruin the makeup, and it was not decent, so it became a form of preaching.

"Xiaoyan's dress is really beautiful. It is worthy of being the dress of a prince's consort. It is so magnificent!"

Gu's expression was not fake, and there was a hint of envy in her eyes. It was a pity that she didn't have a child. If she did, and her daughter really became successful one day, she would be so happy.

"Thank you for the compliment, mother."

"It's almost dawn. We have to hurry. The old lady and the others are already waiting at the door."

"Yes." Siqin and Sihua agreed in unison and quickened their movements.

There were many wedding customs in the Great Xia Dynasty, the most interesting of which was the "ranging women" part. As the name suggests, the women invited were old women with loud voices.

There is no such ceremony as blocking the door when the nobles of Daxia get married. To put it bluntly, they are all nobles, they can't just rush in blindly with a group of people, right?

So the "noisy women" took over this part. Both the man and the woman would invite "noisy women" and agree on the number of them in advance. When the man came to pick up the bride, the two sides would curse each other across the threshold, but without any foul language. They would curse each other for a quarter of an hour before letting the man in.

The meaning of this phrase is that all the quarrels that a newlywed couple will have in their lifetime should be over, and from then on they will live in harmony and happiness without any more disputes.

"Okay, the lady is dressed up!" Siqin Sihua helped Xu Yixing up, turned around on the spot to show her to Gu and Nanny Jiaoyin.

"Well, no problem. Madam, you can now perform the teaching ceremony." The teaching nanny was more like a controller, pointing out the entire process.

"Xiaoyan, you are getting married today and will be a member of the royal family from now on. You must remember that, first, you must get along well with your husband and respect your parents-in-law. Second, you must serve your superiors diligently, be loyal to the emperor and love your country. Third, you must take care of yourself so that you can have more children for the royal family."

Because she was not her biological mother and she was trained by royal etiquette, everything Gu said was very conventional and there was nothing outstanding about it.

"Yes, my daughter will remember her mother's teachings."

Xu Yixing bowed slightly and lowered his head, allowing Gu to put on a pearl veil for him, which was hung on the protrusions on both sides of the hair crown, acting as a veil.

"Come on, we need to go to the front hall to meet your father."

Gu held Xu Yixing with one hand and handed him the wedding fan with the other. Xu Yixing supported Gu with his left hand and held the fan with his right hand to cover his face, and followed Gu out of the door.

When you come out of your yard, you have to walk to the front hall. This process is called the exit ceremony. After listening to your father's teachings, the ceremony is completed.

"The bride has arrived, great joy. Please teach me etiquette, sir!"

Xu Yixing stood facing his father Gu, and the fan in his hand moved down slightly, revealing his eyes. His father was also in high spirits today, wearing red and colorful clothes, and even put on his armor.

Well, it seems that it was too early to talk about Lu Anyuan last night. Dad is the real showoff. This is not the day of returning victoriously. Is it necessary to wear armor?

"Well! Yan'er, you are getting married today. When you arrive at the Seventh Prince's residence, you must take care of everything for him. You must not lose face for the royal family. Do you understand?"

"Yes, my daughter will remember her father's teachings."

"Please bring out the bride!" The maid barely gave the family any time to talk, because the sound of firecrackers at the door spread all the way to the front hall, which meant that the ceremony in front of the door was over and the groom was about to come in to pick her up.

Dad also heard the firecrackers at the door. He took three or two steps forward, and together with Gu, they sent Xu Yixing out.

"The bride is leaving the house!"

"The bride is leaving the house!"

"The bride is leaving..."

Xu Yixing could only hear the voices of couples announcing good news in his ears, until they suddenly stopped in the courtyard. Someone reached out and handed him one end of a red silk.

She grabbed the red silk and followed the gravity forward until she reached the door. She glanced to the side and saw Xu Yiwen crying like a big monkey.
