Zhu Gaoxu also got up early in the morning. He heard that the princess had been given a golden seal and golden book, but he didn't know when it happened. Professor Hou Hai seemed to know a little bit of etiquette, and reminded Zhu Gaoxu, "When the prince goes to welcome the bride, when you arrive at the Princess's central hall, stand and bow four times to the Princess's parents. They only bow twice..."
Hou Hai was still gesturing there. Zhu Gaoxu turned to look at him. Seeing his funny movements, he couldn't help but smile.
Another palace maid came in and trimmed Zhu Gaoxu's eyebrows and beard, put a little rouge on his lips, and applied a thin layer of powder on his cheeks.
Then he began to dress, Zhu Gaoxu wore a green top and a blue-red skirt.
He put on a crown on his head, which was a kind of cap with beads hanging on the front and back, like the head portrait hat on paper money for the dead. He felt very uncomfortable wearing this hat, and the bea
It was broad daylight outside the carved window, but red candles had been lit in the bridal chamber, and red wedding characters were pasted on the windows, cabinets, and beds. The bright red color concealed the bride's gorgeousness, and contrasted her childish, pure, fair face with even more charm.Guo's cheeks were flushed and she was full of shame, but she was smiling faintly, which was an indescribable shyness and tenderness.When Zhu Gaoxu walked towards her, she avoided his gaze, but she was clearly watching him from the corner of her eyes, as if she couldn't stand the strong affection between them and wanted to hide, but couldn't bear to.She sat upright by the bed, dignified and beautiful, holding her hands together on her knees, too nervous to move; under the dignified and reserved posture, she was clearly sitting by the bed waiting for something, without the slightest intention of resisting, as if she was catering to that thing. It was hard to tell
Guo Wei woke up and rubbed her sleepy eyes. She saw big red wedding characters everywhere in the room, and Zhu Gaoxu was no longer beside her. She covered her body with the quilt and stretched out her arms to find underwear.At this time, several palace maids came in, first knelt down to salute Guo Wei, and then came in with various things to help her dress, wash and dress up."Where is the prince?" Guo Wei asked.A palace maid said, "Just now I saw the prince go to the study. The prince ordered that the princess should go to the dining room to eat after getting up, and then go out later."So Guo Wei was helped to put on a red long-sleeved gown, a shawl, a red silk skirt, a red silk jacket, a phoenix crown and other complicated things. She could not choose because the clothes had been prepared long ago. Then she was taken to the dining room by a palace maid.Soon, several strange women came in one after another, carrying porridge, buns and some s
After a busy day yesterday, Zhu Gaoxu and his wife went to the imperial city and completed many complicated and lengthy ceremonies. Today, Zhu Gaoxu and Guo Wei will go to the palace again to pay respects to their father, the emperor and their mother, and the wedding will be almost over after this trip.At dawn, he called Guo Wei to get up together. Zhu Gaoxu still wore a leather jacket and a large hairpin on his head, while Guo Wei wore a phoenix robe and a phoenix crown.After breakfast, Zhu Gaoxu sat in the dining room for a while, looking thoughtful. Guo Wei also sat beside him without disturbing him.The maid brought up two cups of tea. Zhu Gaoxu picked up the cups, supported the bottom of the cup with his left hand, and placed the thumb and index finger of his right hand on the lid without opening it.The porcelain lid of the white ceramic teacup had a protruding top, and Zhu Gaoxu repeatedly pinched the top with his right thumb and index finger,
Miao Jin entered the palace yesterday because Empress Xu summoned her.She knew that Zhu Gaoxu was married, but she did not go to watch the ceremony; until today, she came to Kunning Palace, wanting to see what the Princess of Gaoyang looked like.Miao Jin was still wearing her Taoist robe and combing her hair into a bun. Today, the cotton fabric of her robe was softer than before, and the cut was more fitting. There was nothing strange about the clothes, but because of her figure, her coldness seemed heroic and her gentleness seemed charming. The soft material was supported by her body, and she inadvertently thought of what Zhu Gaoxu said, and her ears felt a little hot.Walking into the grand and spacious Kunning Palace, the palace maids and eunuchs all respectfully call her "Master Chi Yue", after all, she is someone the Empress cares about.Miao Jin was taciturn and ignored the palace servants. She just wasn't in the mood to talk...her mind had alr
After lunch at the palace, the two princes and their princess left. Zhu Di went to the East Nuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace to rest. He wanted to take a nap, but he suddenly remembered something that he had not done, so he sent someone to find some eunuchs.Zhu Di had just taken control of the huge Ming Dynasty, and there were endless things to do every day. He could only hide all his emotions in his heart and proceed one by one according to the method he had thought of.Soon, the eight eunuchs whose names were called arrived at the East Warm Pavilion.Zhu Di took a look and saw that everyone was there.They were all eunuchs, including Zheng He (originally named Ma He) and Baoer (originally named Li Qian) from Yunnan; Yunxiang (originally named Mengge) and Tian Jiahe (originally named Haratimu) from the Hu people; there was also the Jurchen Wang An (originally named Buhuadu), the Xifan Mengji (originally named Tianer), Gou'er (originally named Wan
"Scheming woman! Scheming woman..." The parrot called a few times. It had been released from the cage and fluttered on the wooden frame. Unexpectedly, the bird's feet were still tied with chains, and it could only move in a small space.The maid next to her tilted her head to glance at the parrot and continued to slowly wipe the table. Because she was alone, her movements were very slow, as if she was dozing off and absent-minded.At this moment, the parrot suddenly made a duck-like scream. The maid turned around and her face turned pale. A yellow cat was biting the bird's neck and dragging it off the shelf. But there was a chain on the bird's feet, so the cat held the bird's neck and swung back and forth on the wooden shelf together, like a swing.The maid hurried over and caught the cat with both hands, but the cat was still holding the bird in its mouth."Someone come, someone come..." the palace maid shouted hurriedly.Soon, several eunuchs a
The sky was foggy and dark clouds were slowly rolling in. Although there was no sunshine, it was very hot and stuffy.The shop of Jiming Temple on Xiangzhu Street was still doing business. Yao Ji looked at the familiar shop through the veil in front of her hat for a while, then walked towards the alley again.At the entrance of the alley, she stood at a specific place, and in a trance, she seemed to see a tall and strong young man holding a cat standing there, his eyes were burning, and it was as if something tangible gently touched her face. When Yao Ji reached out to touch him, the man had disappeared.She seemed to have several places to go, but she didn't seem to know where to go. This feeling was like her wandering mood....Yao Ji was unwilling to work hard for Yao Guangxiao anymore, because the success or failure of those great things had nothing to do with her, and she didn't care; if she continued, even if she could accomplish the so-called gre
Summer rain always comes so fast and suddenly that people are caught off guard.The heavy rain did not stop until the next day. This was Zhu Gaoxu's second visit to Jiming Temple. As soon as he entered the temple, he heard two people discussing how to deal with the newly arrived nuns. So Zhu Gaoxu angrily grabbed the two nuns and took them to the nunnery."I dare not lie. The person I was talking about was definitely not Yao Ji..." a nun was defending herself.Just then, a door opened and Yao Ji stood at the door, holding an oil-paper umbrella in her hand. She stood there, looking at Zhu Gaoxu, who looked like a drowned rat, with her bright eyes for a long time.Zhu Gaoxu stood in the heavy rain, straightened his back, and looked at her through the rain. He let out a long breath. Yao Ji's big eyes seemed to be filled with mixed feelings, and then she laughed again, and quickly covered her red lips with her hand.She gently placed the umbrella at
