"Greetings, Your Highness!"
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
When Zhu Rong was about to reach the door of the backyard, a few girls in pink traditional dresses came to Zhu Rong with small flower baskets in their arms. They bent down and greeted him first. Their little faces were painted with rouge, which was very likable.
From his appearance, it seemed like he wasn't afraid of Zhu Rong at all.
These little girls were not the maids of Prince Qin's Mansion, but Zhao Min's dowry girls. They were not old, only about thirteen or fourteen years old.
"Yes."
Zhu Rong pretended to be drunk, nodded and replied, then prepared to walk in.
"Hehehe, Your Highness and the princess are a perfect match."We'll grow old together and be together for a hundred years. We'll have a full moon and have a son early…"
A few little girls giggled and blocked the door, chattering auspicious words from their little mouths, but they refused to let Zhu Xi enter.
He had never eaten pork before, but he had never seen a pig run.
Zhu Rong wasn't a fool. It was obvious what these little girls meant.
Speaking of which, in the future, bridesmaids blocking the door to ask for red packets must have been passed down from ancient times.
Although there were no bridesmaids in ancient times, there were dowry maids.
Zhu Rong counted the little girls blocking the door. There were a total of twelve.
He called over the Imperial Residence's ceremonial officer not far behind him and asked her to give each of these little girls a few golden fruits. This made the little girls blocking the door so excited that their little faces turned red.
However, after receiving the golden fruit, these little girls still blocked the door, giggling and saying pleasing words, not letting Zhu Rong in.
Red packets were still accepted, but no one could enter.
The way these girls blocked the door was clearly arranged by someone.
Zhu Rong looked at the little girls who were covering their mouths and laughing. How could she not know that this was Zhao Min's idea?
He reckoned that if he wanted to enter the bridal chamber, he might have to undergo all kinds of tests from Zhao Min.
These little girls in front of him were probably the first test.
Thinking of this, Zhu Xiong's brain started to spin.
He looked at the little girls who were still talking auspicious words and blocking the door. He directly grabbed a large handful of golden fruits from the fruit box held by the ceremonial officer and sprinkled them on their heads.
Gold had fallen from the sky.
When the little girls who were blocking the door saw the golden fruit falling from the sky, they all roared excitedly and went to snatch the golden fruit.
They were quick to react, scrambling to be the first to snatch it away.
As for the important task of blocking the door, he had long forgotten about it.
While these girls were fighting for the red packets, Zhu Rong took two quick steps and passed through the gate of the backyard, entering the backyard of the Prince's mansion smoothly.
After entering the backyard, Zhu Xiong did not continue forward. Instead, he called for the ceremonial officer behind him and ordered,""Today, this king is overjoyed. Everyone in the residence will be rewarded.”
"In addition, the maids around the princess consort have been busy all day. Give each of them a big red packet and bring them to eat first!”
"Remember, it's everyone. Don't miss out on anyone, understand?”
"I believe they can understand this king's good intentions.”
Zhu Rong said leisurely. He didn't want to accept the test honestly.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, this old servant understands!"
The ceremonial officer immediately understood when he heard this. He immediately brought a few female officials of the Imperial Residence and invited Zhao Min's dowry maids to a banquet.
As for whether these dowry maids would complain or resist?
That was definitely impossible.
This was because these dowry maids were not Zhao Min's original maids, but were arranged by the palace.
As long as they were not stupid, they would know who they should listen to in King Qin's Mansion.
After the ceremonial officer invited Zhao Min's dowry maidservants away for a banquet.
Zhu Rong smiled and walked toward the bridal chamber with the red word "happiness" plastered on it.
Compared to the front yard, the rear yard was filled with a more joyous atmosphere.
Rich bamboos, roses, lilies, lover's grass, and some colorful flowers filled the backyard with a festive atmosphere.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
At this moment, the maids before the nuptial chamber had already been replaced by the maids of the Imperial Residence. Naturally, there would be no more tests.
"Yes, all of you can leave!"
Zhu Rong waved his hand and dismissed the maid in front of the door. Then, he pushed the door open and entered.
Almost at the moment they entered the bridal chamber, Zhu Rong changed instantly and became drunk again.
This bridal chamber was transformed from Zhu Rong's original bedroom.
However, compared to the previous bedroom, the bridal chamber had changed to a red theme.
On the walls, screens, porcelain bottles, jade ware, and other furniture, there were red double happiness characters pasted on them.
The floor was covered with a red carpet, which made the bridal chamber glow with red light and filled with joy.
Behind the red sandalwood screen was the most crucial bridal bed.
A red gauze curtain was rolled up on the wedding bed, and a set of thick cotton bedding was laid on it. The bedding was embroidered with children with different expressions and charmingly naive looks. Two fat ducks were embroidered on the pillow, making it look different from the others.
There was an exquisitely crafted table in front of the wedding bed.
There was a jade ruyi, a few steaming dishes, and two open gourds the size of a fist. They were exquisitely crafted and inlaid with gold and jade.
Apart from that, the bedroom also had an exquisitely crafted dressing table, a few tables, an incense burner, an assortment of shelves, a vase, a wine vessel, a zither, and so on.
There were all kinds of curios and gold and jade porcelain on the rack. There were blooming peonies and lotuses in the vases. There were two red candles as thick as wrists burning in the two bedrooms on the table, which added to the atmosphere of the wedding night.
After ten years of cultivation, we can cross the river together, and after a hundred years of cultivation, we can sleep together.
The entire bridal chamber was decorated with high-end luxury. Gold and jade treasures were arranged in a magnificent manner!
The bridal bed in the bedroom was very tall and could be called a luxurious bridal bed.
Zhu Rong even thought that even if there were three or four people walking on it, it wouldn't feel crowded at all.
There was a beautiful woman sitting on the wedding bed.
She was dressed in a bright red wedding dress, and her head was covered with a unique piece of red silk. Her appearance could not be seen clearly.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
Naturally, the bride was not the only one in the bridal chamber. There were also personal maidservants accompanying the bride, as well as the bridal maids in the palace.
"The wedding scale will avoid disaster, and it will be a great blessing. Your highness can choose your wedding handkerchief now.”
The ceremonial officer said as he handed over a jade Ruyi.
The jade Ruyi scepter was shaped like a scale and marked with a crosshair.
The six stars of the Southern Dipper, the seven stars of the Big Dipper, and the three stars of blessing, wealth, and longevity made a total of sixteen stars.
It belonged to the combination of heavenly stems and earthly branches, and it was used to pick the veil for good luck.
Following the instructions of the ceremonial officer, Zhu Rong used the jade Ruyi to lift the bride's red veil.
At this moment, the entire bridal chamber lit up.
His heart was beating rapidly.
Under the red veil, Zhao Min looked like a mixed-blood fairy, a demoness, and a seductive woman.
There was a hint of immortal intent, a hint of demon intent, and a hint of charm.
A single look was a thousand kinds of amorous feelings, and it was a peerless beauty.
Under the reflection of her beautiful face, the magnificent bridal chamber became overshadowed, and the priceless gold and jade treasures became worthless.
She was already a beautiful woman, but now she was wearing a phoenix coronet and a red wedding dress.
What a femme fatale!
Zhu Xiong's throat was a little dry, as if he was thirsty.
"A perfect couple is born in heaven. Congratulations wangye, congratulations wangfei.”
The ceremonial officer at the side couldn't help but smile and say auspicious words when he saw Zhu Xiong lift the wedding handkerchief.
Royal weddings were more particular.
If it was an ordinary family in Xiahe Village, there would not be so many procedures.
After the groom had finished drinking outside, he returned to the bridal chamber reeking of alcohol. He reached out and lifted the red veil. The two of them went straight to the point. A night at spring dawn was worth a thousand gold.
Unlike now, there was still a ceremonial officer guiding the two of them to complete the following procedures.
After removing the wedding veil.
The ceremonial officer said a bunch of auspicious words again.
Then, he led Zhu Rong and Zhao Min to a few tables and knelt opposite each other.
On the table were the main dishes, millet and millet, as well as a meat dish, a dish of Nu 'er Hong, and several small plates filled with sauce, meat sauce, and meat sauce for seasoning.
This procedure was called eating together in prison. Meat dishes were prison.
The Book of Rites? "Hun Yi":"When the bride arrives, the son-in-law bows to the bride and enters. They eat together in prison. They drink together in the nuptial cup (jin, which means ladle). This is to combine the body and the hierarchy to be close to each other.”
After sharing the prison, it was time to share the nuptial cup, which was the modern era's cross-goblet wine.
There are three times to drink wine together, which is called "three cups".
The first two times, the old maid poured wine for the two of them with a jue, and the third time, she changed the wine to a nuptial cup.
After drinking it, he threw the nuptial cup under the bed, one upside down and the other upside down, symbolizing a hundred years of marriage.
When they are husband and wife, there is no doubt that they love each other.
After drinking wine, there is a wedding ceremony.
The man was on the left, and the woman was on the right. She used a pair of golden scissors to cut off a lock of hair from Zhu Xi's left and Zhao Min's right. She tied them together with a red thread and placed them under the pillow.
"A night in spring is worth thousands of gold. This old servant will not disturb wangye and wangfei.”
After the ceremony, the ceremonial officer tactfully left with his men.
Only Zhu Rong and Zhao Min were left in the bridal chamber.
Big eyes met small eyes. For a moment, the atmosphere was a little romantic.
Facing Zhu Rong's extremely aggressive gaze, Zhao Min took a deep breath to slightly ease the tension in her heart and said in a crisp voice,""Your Highness, I think we should have a good talk."
Zhao Min was absolutely confident that as long as Zhu Rong was willing to talk to her.
She would be able to make a pact with the other party and have Zhu Rong under her thumb.
However, before she could finish speaking, a pair of strong hands picked her up by the waist.
"Ah!"
Zhao Min cried out in alarm, and a golden hairpin hidden in her right hand instinctively stabbed at Zhu Rong's shoulder.
Unfortunately, Zhu Xi had already cultivated the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art to the fourth level, and his skin had already surpassed cow skin. How could a golden hairpin pierce through it?
Zhu Rong smiled inwardly and activated the Heaven and Earth Great Shift.
The sudden rebound force caused the golden hairpin in Zhao Min's hand to fall off.
"Vermilion Bird!"
After Zhao Min exclaimed, a look of panic flashed across her face as she shouted anxiously.
Without waiting for Zhao Min to say anything, Zhu Rong lowered his head and stopped Zhao Min from saying anything.
Then, he strode forward and carried the beauty in his arms to the wedding bed.
Heh, no matter how resourceful you are, I'll break it with my strength.
As for the conversation…
It was better to wait until after the spring night and wake up tomorrow morning!
