Chapter 487 Adding makeup
Chapter 487 Adding makeup
When the queen passed away, the prince should have observed mourning for three years.
But Ning Chuyi was not born to the Queen, and the Emperor had not forgotten that it was precisely because of the Queen's and Concubine An's calculations that Ning Chuchu misunderstood him, causing him to stay away from Kyoto in despair.
The emperor did not ask Ning Chuyi to observe filial piety for three years. Instead, he changed his filial piety with the sun and the moon, and held it for twenty-seven days before releasing it.
After the ceremony, the emperor issued another decree, instructing the Ministry of Rites and the Qintian Supervisor to choose a good and auspicious day to hold the wedding ceremony for the prince.
I don’t know if the emperor secretly issued any orders, but the auspicious day selected by the Ministry of Rites and the Qintian Supervisor is half a month later.
After Lingchu learned about it, he was very surprised.
Although she was mentally prepared to marry Ning Chuyi, she didn't expect it to be so hasty.
After much deliberation, she finally made an appointment with Ning Chuyi and wanted him to go to the Ministry of Rites and the Qintian Supervisor to discuss changing the date to a more auspicious date.
But Ning Chuyi couldn't wait to marry her back to his family immediately, so naturally he didn't want to change the date.
Ling Chu originally wanted to choose an auspicious day by herself, but she had no choice but to count others and not herself, so she had to go to her master to find a way.
But Master Xuan Yi said that he had already calculated that the auspicious day selected by the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tian Jian was the most suitable for her and Ning Chuyi.
Ling Chu could only accept it in the end.
Although King Dingyuan and the princess were reluctant to let their daughter get married so soon, the imperial edict was issued, so they could only start planning for their daughter's wedding.
Although the wedding date was set hastily, it was still the prince's wedding.
The Ministry of Rites knew that the emperor valued the prince and did not dare to neglect him in the slightest. The Minister of Rites personally led his officials to prepare the three books and six rites, including receiving gifts, asking for names, accepting gifts, accepting taxes, and requesting dates. There should be many procedures.
The Ministry of Rites was extremely busy, and everyone in the Dingyuan Palace was so busy that they hit the back of their heads with their feet.
Ever since Princess Dingyuan recognized Ling Chu, she began to help her save her dowry. But she didn't expect that her daughter would get married so soon, and the dowry she saved was far from enough.
Fortunately, the Dingyuan Palace is not short of money, let alone people.
When her only daughter got married, Princess Dingyuan sent many people to buy various needed items.
Princess Dingyuan's natal family, Jiangxia Houfu, was naturally very happy to learn that her granddaughter had been named a national counselor and was about to marry the prince. When the old lady saw that her granddaughter had not decided to get married yet, she took the initiative and chose part of the dowry she had saved for her granddaughter and had it sent to the Dingyuan Palace.
The old lady's daughter-in-law is smart and knows that if her niece marries well and is favored in front of the prince, her daughter's status will also rise with the tide, and she will not have to worry about marriage in the future.
Not only did he not stop the old lady, he also took the initiative to help Princess Dingyuan prepare for the wedding.
Mrs. Nan'an Hou, who was close to Princess Dingyuan, also helped find a lot of good things to add to Ling Chu's makeup.
Although Prince Jing and Princess Jing regretted not marrying Ling Chu for Prince Jing's crown prince, they were not in a position to compete with the crown prince, so they still helped Princess Dingyuan a lot.
The busy days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the day for Ling Chu to add makeup.
Since Master Xuan Yi escorted the emperor back to the capital safely and safely, the emperor not only gave him a house, but also rewarded him with many good things. Although Master Xuan Yi accepted them all, he did not value these vulgar things.
Although Ling Chu was nominally his disciple, Master Xuan Yi loved her as a daughter. Almost all the things that the emperor rewarded, Xuan Yi ordered people to load into the car.
Early in the morning, the eldest disciple Ji Yuan was sent to Prince Dingyuan's Mansion to add makeup to Ling Chu.
Both the master and senior brother sent gifts, and Qingfeng, as the third senior brother, was not far behind. He was the eldest son of Prince Rui's palace, and he had no shortage of power and wealth. With a wave of his hand, he gave his junior sister a full ten carloads of gifts.
Even the second senior brother who was far away in Yaowang Valley also sent something, but what he sent was not gold and silver, but five carts of various precious medicinal materials.
The emperor probably also knew that the wedding date was set too hastily and that the Dingyuan Palace had no time to prepare a dowry for his daughter, so he asked Eunuch An to prepare a lot of silk and satin jewelry for the Dingyuan Palace to add to the crown princess's makeup.
Seeing that the emperor had given so many things, the concubines in the harem could not express their gratitude. They prepared gifts one after another and asked the stewards in their respective palaces to deliver them to the Dingyuan Palace.
Ling Chu grew up in Xuanqingguan since he was a child, and he didn't get any handkerchiefs after returning to Beijing.
However, King Dingyuan was favored by the emperor and his power was at its peak. Now there was a princess who was also a national counselor. All the officials in the capital wanted to be on good terms with Prince Dingyuan.
It's just that in the past, King Dingyuan didn't want to make the emperor afraid, so he didn't make friends with courtiers. Those officials who were interested in doing business could not find opportunities to make friends. Nowadays, Prince Dingyuan is planning to hold a grand banquet when marrying his daughter. No one wants to miss such a good opportunity.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to add makeup, the ladies of each palace asked their daughters to prepare gifts and go to Dingyuan Prince's Mansion to add makeup.
At the beginning, Ling Chu could still smile dignifiedly and gracefully when facing the ladies and ladies from various houses in the capital. But as more and more people came, she secretly complained in her heart.
She had never thought that it would be so difficult to keep a smile on her face, but these people were all here to add makeup to her. It was always hard for her to show off to others. Even if she was tired, she could only grit her teeth and persevere.
When dusk fell and the guests who came to add makeup dispersed, the east and west wings of the courtyard where Ling Chu lived and the three warehouses of the palace were filled with all kinds of congratulatory gifts. And her face had become stiff with smiles all day long.
During the summer solstice, the maids were happy and distressed at the same time.
Seeing the guest leaving, he immediately brought hot water to soak the handkerchief and apply it on Ling Chu's face. When the stiff cheeks relaxed, Ling Chu was too tired to move.
She ate some hastily, washed up, and prepared to go to bed. Unexpectedly, Ning Chuyi had someone bring her something at this time.
After the concierge brought it over, he handed it over to the maid in the inner courtyard.
When the maid brought it in, Ling Chu realized that what Ning Chuyi had given her was a five-layer dowry. She couldn't help being surprised when she saw that the two maids were struggling to lift it.
This is something given to her, it looks quite heavy.
Out of curiosity, Ling Chu opened the dossier.
Seeing the things placed on the first floor, Ling Chu's eyes suddenly widened.
Ning Chuyi actually gave her jade Ruyi.
Originally, Lingchu wouldn't be so surprised to see Yu Ruyi, but Ning Chuyi gave her more than one handful.
But a full six.
Each one has a different shape. The jade quality is delicate, crystal clear, and emerald green.
At first glance, you can tell that it is carved from the finest jade.
Ling Chu took a deep breath and slowly opened the two lower layers.
As expected, it was filled with all kinds of hairpins, jade pendants, bracelets, forbidden steps, pendants, jade hairpins, step shakes...it was full of them, all made of jade.
And they are all rare and good things.
It can be seen that Ning Chuyi put a lot of thought into it, and he doesn't know where he got it from.
But these things were sent to Ling Chu's heart.
Her system is an out-and-out gold-swallowing beast, and no amount of emeralds and jade can be enough for it to absorb.
However, these were all given by Ning Chuyi, and she did not intend to give them to the system unless it was absolutely necessary.
After playing with it for a while, Ling Chu asked the maid to put away the dowry.
Ning Chuyi was currently in the prince's residence, practicing his sword while imagining Ling Chu's reaction after receiving the gift. In fact, he wanted to deliver the things to her in person, but unfortunately the man and woman could not see each other before they got married, so he could only bear to miss her.
But when she thought that tomorrow was her wedding day, Ning Chuyi's lips filled with a smile.
