Chapter 434: Wedding
April 15, the 26th year of Deyuan.
This day is very strange. Although it is a fierce day, it is a good day for marriage.
On the wedding day, the crown prince will personally welcome the bride, and the emperor will perform the Xuanjiao ceremony and add the ritual of washing and feeding. The day before, officials from the East Palace set up a south-facing tent in the Jinyang Marquis's mansion.
At dawn, Tan Taimo, wearing a crown, accompanied by the East Palace's ceremonial guard and drum team, took a sedan chair to the gate of the Jinyang Marquis's mansion and entered the tent to wait.
In the Jinyang Marquis's mansion, lanterns and decorations were hung. Min got up before dawn to make arrangements. All members of the Jinyang Marquis's mansion were dressed in new clothes, waiting to welcome the bride. Several big stewards in the mansion were so busy that they almost didn't sleep all night.
The ladies of the East Palace were waiting at the gate of Luming Courtyard early in the morning, looking at each other.
There were many rules for the prince's wedding, and they were ordered to teach the future princess the rules of the wedding. The prince was waiting at the gate, but the future princess was still sleeping.
The whole Jinyang Marquis's Mansion was busy, even the old lady was getting dressed, but Luming Courtyard was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and there was no maid guarding the gate. I heard that the maid was also sleeping.
The lady guarding the gate waited for half an hour, but no one got up, so she was anxious to go into the yard to call people in person.
The movements of the female official startled Mrs. Chen, who stopped her and said, "Young lady is still sleeping."
The female official was so anxious that sweat broke out on the tip of her nose: "What time is it? Why are you still sleeping? The prince is waiting outside!"
After getting up, changing clothes, washing, and putting on makeup, she also had to teach the Crown Princess etiquette and rules.
Originally, such an important event needed to be taught in advance and practiced repeatedly. The future Crown Princess used the excuse of being unwell and kept delaying it. Finally, it was delayed until today. It was dawn, the prince had arrived, and the future Crown Princess was still sleeping.
Mrs. Chen: "The auspicious time is 3:45 pm, it's still early now, why don't you two female officials go to the guest room to drink tea and wait. After the young lady gets up, I will come to invite the female officials in person."
With Mrs. Chen guarding, the female official couldn't even see Jian Ruonan, so she had to go to see Min.
In Xixia Garden, Min was already dressed in new clothes. Teng Ge'er, Jian Huayuan, Pei Shaoyi, Jian Zhang...Jian Zhang's illegitimate sons and daughters were also present.
The female official said anxiously: "Madam, it's this hour, why is the young lady still sleeping? It's time to get up!"
Min soothed: "Don't worry, it's still early."
Teng Ge'er: "The fifth sister won't get up until 3:45."
Female official: "..."
"We can't control her sleeping until noon normally,
but today is a special day!" Teng Ge'er: "Why is today special? Isn't the auspicious time at 3:45 in the afternoon? It's still early!"
The female officials were all confused. What kind of family is this? On the wedding day, the future crown princess has to sleep until 3:45 before getting up. Who would believe it if they told others?
The female officials thought, why not find the ancestor. In ordinary mansions, the ancestor's words are the most effective.
Several female officials came to the old lady's yard together.
When the old lady heard that Jian Ruonan was still sleeping, her face was a little strange.
Female official: "Grandma, how about you call the young lady?"
The old lady didn't dare to offend that evil star, and waved her hands repeatedly, "Let the fifth sister sleep, the fifth sister is very irritable when she gets up!"
Female official: "..."
What kind of family is this with hidden dragons and crouching tigers!
So calm? !
On such an important day, the whole mansion is used to it? !
The female official waited from the morning hour to the beginning of the afternoon, but there was still no movement in the Luming Garden. The door of the garden was closed, and Mrs. Chen went back to the room to take a nap and sent a little maid to guard it.
The maidservant's sleep schedule was the same as Jian Ruonan's, and she also looked like she hadn't woken up yet: "The young lady wakes up at about 3:45 every day."
Female official: "Today is her wedding with the prince!"
The maidservant: "Our young lady also starts to attend court at this time. It's the wedding, right? There's no need to delay."
Female official: "..."
The master is like this, and so are the servants? !
Several female officials looked at each other. In order not to take responsibility, the female officials left the house and came to the temporary tent where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rested, and personally confessed to the Crown Prince.
Tan Taimo was in a good mood, and just said lightly: "It's still early, and you should have slept more."
Female official: "..."
At 3:45, there was finally movement in Luming Garden. The female officials breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed Min and others in.
Jian Ruonan was having a meal. On the table, there were four dishes, one soup, and two snacks. She was chewing the hot pot meat leisurely.
The lady said, "Miss, you should not drink too much soup, nor eat food with strong flavors."
The etiquette was complicated, and she was afraid of having to go to the bathroom in the middle of the meal.
Today she was having a spicy hot pot, with so much garlic, and she was not afraid of suffocating the Crown Prince!
Without urging her, Min sat down and helped Nannan to serve the dishes, "Eat more, and rinse your mouth with some perfumed water after eating."
After the meal, the lady officials helped her dress up and put on makeup.
Jian Ruonan refused and said, "It's still early at 3:45 pm. It's not too late to put on makeup at 1:45 pm."
The ladies: "..."
"Then can you explain the etiquette to the Crown Princess?"
Jian Ruonan: "I can't remember it even if you explain it. Isn't there someone to guide me? I'll just follow them when the time comes!"
The ladies: "..."
Then, Jian Ruonan called all the maids in the yard and gave them a big red envelope. The three Taoist priests came, Wu Yehe came, and brother-in-law Hou, Jian Xilu, Xuan Xiaowu, Wang Defa, Princess Jiarou, the eldest princess, and several sisters also came.
They were invited by the Crown Prince, who was afraid that the fifth lady would be nervous before getting married.
Jian Ruonan looked at everyone with a smile on her face, and she didn't look nervous at all.
"After getting married, everything will be normal."
It's just a wedding, why do everyone act like they are facing a powerful enemy?
After dinner, Jian Ruonan began to dress up leisurely.
In her bright red wedding dress, Jian Ruonan's skin was as white as cream and she looked bright and beautiful.
Min and Jian Xilu's eyes were wet for a moment.
Teng Ge'er was stunned: "Fifth sister, you are so beautiful!"
Jian Ruonan glared at him: "Are you so lacking in literary talent? Just one word, beautiful, will do."
Pei Shaoyi: "Fifth sister, do you want to listen to my sister-in-law compose a poem?"
Jian Ruonan smiled and waved her hand: "Sister-in-law, please spare me."
~
The auspicious time has arrived.
Jian Ruonan, wearing a phoenix crown and a red robe, walked out of the Marquis's mansion under the guidance of a female official.
There were people surrounding Dan Tai Mo, but Jian Ruonan still saw him at a glance.
His stunning and almost perfect face made him stand out among the officials in court robes. Against the backdrop of the bright red auspicious clothes, his dark eyes were as dazzling as the sun.
Unlike his usual calmness and restraint, the joy and expectation in his eyes were almost overflowing.
Jian Ruonan winked at him slyly.
The female official reminded in a low voice, "The veil cannot be lifted now."
Jian Ruonan smiled and said, "Got it."
Next, Jian Ruonan followed the female official's instructions and performed the ceremony in an orderly manner, kneeling, bowing, standing...
The ceremony was complicated and tedious, but Jian Ruonan was quite patient.
The veil covered her eyes, and she could not see anything except a bright red color. She could only be pulled by someone like a puppet.
Jian Ruonan was not worried at all.
It seemed that this was either getting married or going out and moving.
Life is like morning dew, and the past days are full of suffering.
With the prince's promise, for the rest of her life, she only needs to wake up to the bright moon and be drunk with the breeze.

I hope this annual card literature will be liked by everyone (I have said in the previous post that this article seems to be older than the younger brother, but in fact, when the fifth sister first came here, she was four years older than the younger brother. Older + younger, commonly known as an annual card)
