The wedding day was also the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the capital was bustling with activity.
Early in the morning, the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion and the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion were decorated with lights and wedding characters were pasted everywhere, and even the gates were hung with red lanterns.
Gao Zhijun got up at the hour of Mao to get dressed.
Mo Xue and Hong Yue got up to help Gao Zhijun wash and dress, and then helped her put on the phoenix crown and bridal bridal gown.
The shawl was rather complicated and difficult to put on; it took both of them almost quarter of an hour to put it on.
After putting on her bridal veil, Gao Zhijun sat in front of the dressing table, waiting for the nanny to comb her hair.
The woman who combed Gao Zhijun's hair was the nanny sent by the Queen. It was also she who combed the Queen's hair when she got married.
The Queen hopes that Gao Zhijun will live a life of wealth, prosperity, peace and prosperity.
The nanny picked up the golden comb, which was also given by the queen.
In ancient times, when women got married, they usually used wooden combs to comb their hair. When the daughters of ministers in the capital got married, they only used silver or jade combs. Only the queen and the crown princess in the royal family were allowed to use gold combs when they got married.
One can imagine how precious a golden comb is.
The golden comb bestowed by the emperor was enough to prove Gao Zhijun's identity.
"Comb your hair thoroughly and you will be rich and prosperous!"
The nanny gently combed her hair from head to toe with a golden comb, muttering auspicious words.
"Combing your hair twice brings you many children, happiness and a long life!"
"Comb your hair three times to the end, and hold the case and eyebrows together!"
After the nanny combed her hair three times and said three auspicious words, Hongyue gave her some silver as a reward. The nanny happily left the room and returned to the palace to report to the queen.
Hongyue helped Gao Zhijun put on the phoenix crown, supported her and sat on the wedding bed, waiting for the groom to come and pick her up.
Last night, the village head and villagers had already added makeup to Gao Zhijun.
The three sisters Gao Zhishan, Gao Zhiyi and Gao Zhidan also came over to add makeup to Gao Zhijun and added a lot of expensive jewelry.
It is because of Gao Zhijun that they can live such a luxurious life.
Therefore, her family was very grateful to Gao Zhijun and gave her nearly two thousand taels of jewelry as additional dowry.
It is rare for sisters to be so generous. They are all people who know how to be grateful.
The Queen added some makeup to Gao Zhijun and sent her two loads of gold and silver jewelry.
The Empress Dowager and the Concubine Dowager added to Gao Zhijun's makeup, each sending her a box of gold and silver jewelry and a box of silks and satins.
As the emperor's foster father, he also gave two loads of jewelry and silks, two farms, and three shops.
As the elder brother, the Crown Prince also gave Gao Zhijun a dowry. The Crown Princess personally sent two loads of jewelry, silks, and satins, as well as a farm.
The Minister of Revenue, as Gao Zhijun's maternal grandfather, gave Gao Zhijun a bag of gold and silver jewelry and a shop.
The ministers in the capital sent their daughters or granddaughters to add to Gao Zhijun's dowry as a gesture of goodwill.
The people of the capital also sent a quilt made of hundreds of materials.
This is a quilt embroidered with a piece of cloth from each of the one hundred families, symbolizing good luck, blessing and a large family.
Gao Zhijun and Murong's family were deeply touched by this thoughtful gesture, and they all gave them gifts in return.
As for Zhuang Die, she was also half a member of the maternal family. The dowry she gave to Gao Zhijun was eight loads long, which meant good luck.
The Murong family gave Gao Zhijun a dowry of one hundred loads.
Gao Zhijun gave herself a dowry of fifty loads.
When Huo Jinqian presented the betrothal gifts, he presented a total of one hundred loads.
Now, Gao Zhijun's dowry is 275 loads, which is more than ten miles of red wedding dress.
The Zhenbei Palace was filled with joy. After the morning court session, the ministers rushed over to ask for a drink, as they were going to the Weiguo Mansion in the afternoon to attend the wedding banquet.
Liu Ningchu, Murong Yuanbo, and Murong Fu stood in front of the gate to welcome guests and colleagues.
Because the emperor was Huo Jinqian's uncle, he did not come to the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion to drink, but went to the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion.
Huo Jinqian got up early in the morning and he was smiling all day.
I am both happy and nervous to be the groom today.
However, when people are happy, they feel refreshed and look more handsome and elegant.
After getting up and washing up, he put on a bright red groom's suit, looking like a fairy from heaven, elegant and ethereal.
He left the Duke's Mansion on a large white horse, followed by a large red sedan chair carried by eight people. On both sides were long ceremonial guards beating gongs and drums.
"Let's go! Meet the bride!"
Huo Jinqian shouted loudly, then rode a big white horse towards the Zhenbei Palace. There were loud gongs and drums behind him, and people on both sides were setting off firecrackers.
Because the Zhenbei Palace was close to the Weiguo Palace, Huo Jinqian went to the palace, but the last person was still in the Duke's Palace.
Murong Yuanbo welcomed Huo Jinqian into the palace, and the people who followed him also went into the palace to drink the wedding wine.
Although Murong Yuanbo liked his son-in-law, he still didn't treat him well because he kidnapped his precious daughter so quickly.
The same goes for Murong Fu and Murong Shuo. They couldn't be happy with their brother-in-law. It was him who took away their most precious sister.
In Gao Zhijun's room, Gao Zhishan, Gao Zhiyi, and Gao Zhidan were accompanying her. Gao Yuxuan was also sitting next to her, reluctantly saying, "Aunt, don't you want Yuxuan anymore?"
During this period, what he heard most was that his aunt was going to marry Uncle Huo and didn't want him anymore.
"Who taught you that? Don't listen to those people's nonsense. Auntie will never abandon you. Stay here in the Prince's Mansion today, and go to the Duke's Mansion tomorrow. After three days, we will move back to the Princess' Mansion and never separate again."
Gao Zhijun comforted Gao Yuxuan.
He is young now and his mind is at its most fragile. He likes to think about all kinds of things. If I don't comfort him and give him enough sense of security, I'm really afraid that he will have bad thoughts.
Gao Zhijun had already decided to leave the princess's mansion to Gao Yuxuan and also leave the position of crown prince to him.
The child she gave birth to only needed to inherit the Duke's Mansion.
"Really, auntie is still willing to live with Yuxuan?"
Hearing this, Gao Yuxuan's young heart finally felt relieved.
He and his aunt depend on each other for survival, and he is really afraid that his aunt will not want him one day.
"Of course it's true! Yuxuan will live with my aunt forever until he grows up, gets married and has children. Moreover, the Princess's Mansion is given to Yuxuan by my aunt. In a few years, when Yuxuan grows up a little, my aunt will ask the emperor to make him the crown prince, and the throne will be passed down from generation to generation."
Gao Zhijun promised Gao Yuxuan that she would never leave him until he got married and started a family.
In fact, a princess can also inherit the title, and the son she gives birth to can be named the crown prince.
