Daming 1805

Chapter 207
After talking about the business in the laboratory, Zhu Jingyuan chatted with the craftsmen for a while, maintaining a cordial and familiar relationship.

Zhu Jingyuan told them that he was going to accept the official concubine of the prince, and invited them to the banquet in a few days.

It is of course a good thing to drink wedding wine, and of course a group of craftsmen will not refuse, nor can they refuse.

The Daming Airlines meeting ended on a rather festive note.

Some of the machines placed outside were brought back to the yards of the craftsmen and continued to be used as research references and experimental tools.

Part of it was taken into the warehouse of the palace as machines and tools for the palace.

For example, that car will be Zhu Jingyuan's travel car from now on.

Standing on the edge of the venue, Zhu Jingyuan looked at the luxury car worth millions in his previous life, and subconsciously wanted to drive it.

But before the feet moved, the brain gave up the idea.

Although the value of that thing is equivalent to millions, its actual performance is not even as good as a car that might have cost 10 yuan in the previous life.

Zhu Jingyuan himself knew the situation inside, because most of them were designed by himself.

Including the engine, gearbox, and car body structure, you know how many compromises and immaturities there are.

The point is, with my current status, I am not suitable for driving by myself.

I also have more important things.

Back in his office, Zhu Jingyuan took out a pen and paper and began to write and draw, mainly about planning the automobile production line.

Four days later, on February [-]th, the first year of Ankang, the Dashi Palace was decorated with lanterns and festoons.

The concubine ceremony of Prince Dashi officially began.

In this etiquette, Zhu Jingyuan, Liang Yunying, and the officials of the Great Food Kingdom once again took a trick.

Before the official wedding, follow the process of taking concubines, which is much simpler than the prince's big wedding ceremony, otherwise it would not be possible to complete it in five days.

But the procedure on the day of the wedding is in accordance with the king of the feudal kingdom accepting the concubine.

If Zhu Jingyuan was an ordinary Prince of Ming Dynasty, then the only women around him would be concubines, concubines, and maidservants.

There is no real difference between wives, concubines, and maidservants of ordinary people. A concubine will only be granted the title of wife after she has given birth to a child.

Although concubines also have wedding clothes and marriage certificates, they cannot use Fengguanxiapei.

To be precise, even the princess does not use the "Phoenix Coronet".

Because the prince and concubine belong to the "foreign wives", they have to use "Zhai Guan" with the wives of the outer court such as Mrs. Gaoming.

"Phoenix crown" is the crown of the "inner life woman".

The married women are the wives and concubines of the emperor, and the wives and concubines of the king of the vassal state.

If Zhu Jingyuan was the king of the prince-level vassal state of Dashi, his wives and concubines could be divided into five categories: empress, concubine, concubine, concubine, and maidservant.

Ji is the general term for middle and lower-level concubines, including Jieyu, Meiren, Cairen, Baolin, Yunu, and Cainu.

Historically, North Korea was a county kingdom, and the king's wife could only be a princess during her lifetime, and she would be posthumously named queen after her death, just like the posthumous posthumous title of a duke after her death.

Zhu Jingyuan is such a close relative of the princely kingdom, the king's first wife was the queen during his lifetime.

In addition to the main wife and queen, he can also have four concubines, nine concubines, nine Jieyu, beauties, and talents each, and 27 Baolin, Yunu, and Cainu each.

On the basis of the emperor's wives and concubines in Zhou Li, the three wives were changed into four concubines, which is equivalent to the specifications of the emperor's wives and concubines in the Tang Dynasty.

Zhou Tianzi is the first queen, three wives, nine concubines, 27 wives, and 81 wives.

After the Qin and Han dynasties, some dynasties inherited the Zhou emperor's internal order woman system, but few emperors would fully abide by this regulation.

It's not that the emperor will get more women, but that most emperors don't have so many women.

If you really get it all done, you will definitely be sprayed as lewd and immoral.

The emperor will not be canonized strictly according to the traditional name. For example, the third wife became the fourth wife (concubine) in the Tang Dynasty.

In the early Ming Dynasty, there were concubines but no concubines, so the number of concubines expanded.

Later, there was a distinction between imperial concubine, imperial concubine and ordinary concubine.

During the Jiajing period, the nine concubines were reset, but the concubines remained unchanged, which meant that the number expanded again.

In the Renwu Dynasty, in order to formulate rules for different levels of vassal states, based on Zhou Rites again, referring to the previous examples of each generation, and combining the current situation of the Ming court, a set of nominal rules for wives and concubines was rearranged.

In addition to the main wife and empress, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty could have two imperial concubines, four imperial concubines, eight concubines, twelve concubines, twelve Jieyu, beauties, and talents each, and 36 Baolin, Yunu, and Cainu each.

Then, based on the emperor's standards, the specifications of the wives and concubines of the kings of different levels were successively reduced to form customization.

But in fact, as long as it is a normal emperor or king, it is impossible to use up so many wives and concubines.

In the crown of ceremonial guards, the wives and concubines of the king of the vassal state are lower than the emperor's wives and concubines.

The queen's ceremonial crown and clothing are equivalent to the imperial concubine's, the queen's ceremonial crown and clothing are equivalent to the imperial concubines, and the ceremonial crown and clothing of the king's concubines are equivalent to the emperor's wives (Jieyu, beauties, talented people).

At the same time, according to the "Shesheng" tradition, wedding crowns can be used beyond the first level.

Liu Muyun and Yu Muxue are the concubines of the Prince of Ming Dynasty, but they will be canonized by Zhu Jingyuan as concubines of the King of Dashi at the same time.

At the time of the wedding, if you follow the etiquette of the feudal kingdom, you can use the ceremonial crown and dress of the Ming emperor's concubine.

So, the two of them can also use Fengguanxiapei.

According to Jiajing's regulations, the imperial concubine's crown is one level below the imperial concubine's, mainly to reduce the number of dragons, phoenixes, jewels and emeralds on her head.

At first glance, the difference is not obvious, both are very gorgeous and exquisite.

Zhu Jingyuan wore the prince's crown, and under the guidance of the etiquette officer, he completed the wedding step by step.

For the king Zhu Jingyuan, there are not many things he needs to do.

The main thing is to pay homage to my grandfather, grandma, father, and aunt from afar, and to my mother on the spot.

There are many elders that I have to worship, even if most of them are not present, I have to give them a sense of presence.

But instead of worshiping with Liu Muyun, he did it alone.

Then Liu Muyun came in and worshiped himself and his mother.

I canonize Liu Muyun by myself, and when she changes into a new set of clothes, it's almost time to go back to the room.

Except for the link in the last room, the others are similar to the canonized courtiers.

After working for a long time from beginning to end, it was finally time for bed.

Zhu Jingyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, let Chunxiang and Qiuyue change into casual clothes for him, and entered his bedroom.

Liu Muyun hurried over to salute:
"See Your Highness."

Zhu Jingyuan went up to grab her hand, greeted her with a smile and said:

"You don't need to be too polite. We will all be family members in the future. I don't have so many rules here."

"Thank... Your Highness..."

Liu Muyun quickly agreed, and then resumed standing.

It's just that the whole person is slightly arched, as if he doesn't dare to stand up straight, and at the same time he lowers his head vigorously.

Zhu Jingyuan could clearly feel her fingers trembling slightly.

Zhu Jingyuan can understand the mood of the other party, but this state is not convenient for activities.

Even if she will definitely cooperate with her with all her strength, it will be difficult to succeed if she is too nervous.

Zhu Jingyuan was going to have a chat with her, to see if he could make her relax a bit.

Zhu Jingyuan considered the girl's character, pondered for a few seconds, and asked a topic casually:
"Mu Yun, what is your height?"

Liu Muyun's expression suddenly turned bitter, and he lowered his head even lower:

"1.7 meters... exactly."

Zhu Jingyuan deliberately asked:

"1.7 meters? Is there no change? Is it measured naked? How much is it with shoes on..."

Liu Muyun immediately said very sensitively:
"1.7 meters is the height without shoes, but there is absolutely no fraction, it is 1.7 meters, no more.

"As for the height of the shoes, it depends on the thickness of the soles, at least one centimeter..."

Zhu Jingyuan thought about it and said:
"Girls develop early, so your height may be about the same before the age of 16, right?
"Then you were very outstanding when you were in school, wouldn't you feel like looking down on your classmates?"

Liu Muyun seemed to recall the unbearable past, and she, who was originally lively, immediately complained instinctively:

"It's really 'outstanding'... many girls say that I... say that concubines are like telephone poles.

"Some people say that if the roof collapses, you must come to me first, and I can be a pillar to support the roof of the house.

"The concubine really didn't expect to be chosen by His Highness, why did His Highness choose me?"

As Liu Muyun said this, he slowly began to relax, and he obviously stood up a lot more straight.

Seeing this, Zhu Jingyuan smiled and looked at her lower body:

"Because I like tall girls, I like girls with long legs, including you of course..."

After receiving the praise and appreciation, Liu Muyun visibly lifted his spirits. At the same time, he was quite surprised, very unbelievable, and asked instinctively:
"Your Highness really likes a tall girl like me?"

Zhu Jingyuan took it for granted and continued to ask:
"Otherwise why are you here? By the way, what size are your feet?"

Liu Muyun thought that it was indeed this logic, if Zhu Jingyuan didn't like tall people, he would not have been selected.

In addition, apart from myself, the other nine girls are not short. For example, Yu Muxue is also 1.6 meters six.

None of the others were below 1.6 meters, and none of them were thin and slender.

This is obviously Zhu Jingyuan's special standard, otherwise he would definitely choose a few thin and petite ones.

Liu Muyun basically relaxed now, and basically stood up straight, and at the same time subconsciously answered the last question:

"My feet are 24 centimeters long... Why does Your Highness ask this? Does Your Highness like big feet or small feet?"

After Liu Muyun relaxed, her lively and bold personality began to be released. Another person would never dare to ask such a direct question.

24 cm is the size 38 in my previous life, the most typical size of women's shoes.

Zhu Jingyuan calculated in his mind, then smiled and picked up Liu Muyun's hand, and looked at it in front of his eyes:
"Size doesn't matter, the key is coordination. You are within the most normal range, neither big nor small.

"I just heard that girls with small hands and feet are usually lighter, and vice versa.

"You can't judge directly, you can only measure it..."

Liu Muyun was taken aback, but still didn't think too much:

"What is shallow... or deep? What is the actual measurement?"

Zhu Jingyuan dragged Liu Muyun to the bed:
"Let me tell you how to test..."
