Prince Xuan is getting married.

The word "big wedding" originally referred to the emperor's accession to the throne as a young man, unmarried and practiced, and married after the age of eighteen; The marriage of a courtier cannot be called a "big wedding". However, the two princesses surrendered to a prince, and the good story of the Empress E's daughter reappeared in this dynasty, which is a grand event that has not been seen for thousands of years.

In the palace and the imperial court, when it comes to this matter, they naturally don't say "big wedding", but they can't help but add the word "big" in front of it, which is called "big joy" or "big joy".

As soon as the two princesses Rong'an and Dunrou entered Princess Gulun's edict, everyone understood that the countdown to the "big event" began.

It is early autumn, and the weather is getting cooler, however, inside and outside the palace, up and down the government and the opposition, and even the entire city of Beijing, the "temperature" has begun to rise in a straight line.

Princess Rong'an and Princess Dunrou's edict to Princess Gulun was issued on the same day, and the time when the decree was issued to Yonghe Palace and Prince Gong's Mansion was almost pinched at the same point.

The difference is that Princess Rong'an is the "in" Princess Gulun, and Princess Dunrou is the "Fu" Princess Gulun - after the coup d'état in Qixiang, King Gong covered the sky with one hand, and in order to envelop King Gong, the Queen Mother of the two palaces gave Princess Dunrou Princess Gulun early; Cai Shouqi impeached King Gong, King Gong roared rudely in front of the emperor, fell down, and after his comeback, in order to show "retreat and humble", he resolutely resigned this Gulun princess for his daughter.

From the beginning of the edict of the two princesses to Princess Gulun, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs began to face a huge challenge: the status of the two princesses is absolutely equal, so this marriage starts from "Nacai" to "Guining". In the middle, "descent", "merger", etc., how to arrange the instrument?

Bottom line: who comes first, who comes after?

As the saying goes, "the first door is the big", and the difference in the wedding is small. may have a subtle impact on the status of the marriage.

This is not just a matter of the two princesses, behind the two princesses, there are two queen mothers.

After the lunch break, the Queen Mother came to Yonghe Palace.

Concubine Li entered the inner room and kept people talking.

"Today's 'call,'" Ci'an said, "after the military plane, it is the 'start' of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Wan Qing Quinoa and Bao Jun are two, together with the same thing. ”

Wan Qingqu is the Han Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and Bao Jun is the one who "wears the seal key" among the several ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, that is, the chief Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the first person to manage the Ministry of Internal Affairs under King Gong. The two princesses descended to Prince Xuan, and the ceremony was in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and the specific was handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Therefore, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs jointly "took matters into account".

"I never married a daughter," Tzu An said. "You haven't married a daughter either, but you don't know, this 'princess surrender' is quite a troublesome thing!"

Concubine Li's ears pricked up.

"Wan Qingquinoa's knowledge is good, but his words are not very neat," Ci'an said. "As soon as I opened my mouth, I recited the "Great Qing Huidian" to us, and I heard it in a fog, and the "Xibianer" also frowned. Fortunately, Bao Jun's eloquence was good, and it took half an hour. I've finally figured it out. ”

Concubine Li thought of something, endured it, didn't hold back, and said softly: "Queen Mother, I don't understand the affairs of the court, and I don't dare to talk too much." However, I've heard, uh, this Bao Jun, being kicked out of the military aircraft department, has something to do with ...... 'him', uh, will it be ......?"

Ci'an was stunned for a moment, then understood what she meant, and couldn't help laughing: "Are you afraid that Baojun will do this errand, don't pay attention, don't do your best, and even, do something in it?" ”

Concubine Li's face flushed slightly, and said, "I didn't mean that either, I just ......"

At this point, it's hard to phrase, so I have to stop.

"You really don't know anything about the imperial court—" Ci'an smiled slightly, "First, I don't understand either." In the past two years, I have seen excerpts and military aircraft, and I can be regarded as understanding. Let me tell you, it is precisely because Bao Jun was kicked out of the military aircraft by 'him' that Bao Jun must do his best to not dare to make any mistakes in 'his' marriage. As long as there is a slight situation, others will say that Baojun is 'taking revenge for personal gain' - in that case, how can Baojun get mixed up? Think about it, isn't this the reason? So, you put your heart in your belly! ”

After a pause, he continued: "Bao Jun, although he is selfish, but when it comes to the ability to do errands, he is a first-class capable person, I really can't think of anyone more suitable than him to do this errand and errand!" ”

Concubine Li's face turned even redder, but her eyebrows were completely relaxed, she smiled embarrassedly, and said, "I'll just say that I don't understand anything, and I rely on the Queen Mother to teach." ”

Ci'an also smiled and said: "'He' first has to choose an auspicious day to the royal 'Nacai', what is this called 'One Nine Rites', which is what we call 'letting go of Xiaoding', and he himself will enter the noon gate before a certain imperial minister and a certain minister of the interior come forward together and receive it by order." ”

"This 'Xiaoding', the previous customization, is 'camel one, horse eight', that is, a gift full of camels, plus eight horses. When he arrived in the Daoguang Dynasty, Daoguang Ye had always been thrifty, and felt that 'camel one, horse eight' was too extravagant, and besides, some of them were attached, and the family was not rich. ”

Concubine Li let out a soft "oh" and said, "Daoguang Lord Shengming, plan for the forehead, considerate and thoughtful, meticulous, but ......"

"Don't worry." Ci'an smiled, "However, Bao Jun said that the two Gulun princesses 'surrendered' a prince together, which is a grand event that has not existed in ancient times, and the rule of 'nine sheep' is not suitable here, and it should be changed back to the old system of 'camel one and horse eight'." When he said this, I and the 'West Side' are naturally happy, who doesn't want their daughter to marry a little more beautiful? Of course, it did. ”

Concubine Li couldn't help but have a good impression of Bao Jun, smiled and said, "You just said Bao Jun...... Ouch, it's really Shengming, but the Queen Mother! ”

Ci'an smiled again and said: "Baojun also said that the two princesses surrendered to a prince, which is too special, therefore, the ritual note of this marriage cannot be 'forever', and in the future, the princess 'surrender', 'Nine Rites' will still restore the 'nine sheep' regulations." You see, in this way, he didn't sweep Daoguangye's face, and you can't say that he 'violated the ancestral system' or anything - he was all-encompassing. ”

"Yes, Bao Jun is indeed a capable person!"

Concubine Li praised it, thought about it for a while, and said, "So, 'he' has to prepare two copies...... Oh, the 'Nineteen Rites'? ”

"Yes," said Ci'an, and the two parts are exactly the same, adding up, it is 'camel two, horse sixteen'. ”

Speaking of this, Ci'an said in a joking tone: "Are you a little distressed for your son-in-law?" Don't worry, he'll be able to take it! ”

The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, and Concubine Li's face turned red again after "brushing".
