Chapter 100 Preparation (Continued)
In the palace, the emperor Yuwen Gankeng was trying on his clothes. He was going to get married the next day. The emperor's majesty could not allow any mistakes. The servants in charge of the emperor's robe led the palace maids to be busy beside him. The Chung government official reported the preparations for the wedding.
The Spring government took Da Zongbo as its chief, in charge of rituals, sacrifices, calendars and other matters. Da Zongbo is what is commonly known as the Minister of Rites. At that time, the emperor was married, and Da Zongbo had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
The entire process must be carried out according to the etiquette system. The emperor cannot be dissatisfied, the prime minister cannot be dissatisfied, and the Duke of the State should not be dissatisfied. Therefore, Da Zongwang put down other matters during this period and was specifically in charge of the emperor's wedding.
The marriage is a major event, the parents' orders, the matchmaker's words, and the emperor's parents are dead, so the Chun government, who shoulders the responsibility of the matchmaker, must work together with the palace to hold the wedding well so that everyone can be satisfied and no problems can occur.
Last year, the emperor was about to get married, but the death of the King of Shu caused the wedding to be interrupted. There was no way to do so. If something interrupted this year, or the future queen could not enter the palace with glory, Prime Minister Yuchi would be furious.
Da Zongbo explained the wedding process, and Yuwen Gankeng listened absent-mindedly. He didn't need to worry about the wedding at all. Even if he had any ideas, it was useless. The etiquette system had already set the rules and regulations. If there was a slight change, the ministers would inevitably advise him. So why did he provoke these people?
The daughter-in-law, who was listening to the talk, saw that her younger brother was a little confused, and asked softly: "Is your Majesty unwell?"
"Ah, it's okay, I'm a little tired."
Da Zongbo said that he was ignorant of his retreat. Anyway, entering the palace today is a routine matter, so it doesn’t matter if the emperor is absent-minded. With the eldest princess (the princess of a daughter) there, all preparations in the palace have been completed. He just needs to ensure that there is no problem with the wedding process.
Seeing Da Zong Bo leave, Princess Qianjin asked her brother with concern what was uncomfortable. Yuwen Gankeng smiled and said that it was boring to try on clothes.
"You are the emperor and you can't lose your etiquette in every move. Especially in a scene like a big wedding, you will be more tired if you get married. If you don't have to make a lot of trouble with ordinary people?"
"Um."
The Qianjin Princess is the elder sister of the emperor. Their father, King Zhao, Yuwen Zhao, has been killed for many years, and his mother is not alive. Therefore, the Qianjin Princess is still the role of a mother, working hard for her younger brother's marriage.
The future queen's bedroom, Zhaoyang Hall, has been newly decorated. All daily necessities and even the silver hooks hanging on the curtains were selected and determined by the daughter princess one by one. Therefore, the emperor did not care whether the main body was tired or not. What he was heartbroken was his sister.
Yuwen Gankeng put on the newly made elephant clothes, opened his arms, and turned around a few times. Princess Qianjin looked left and right, always thinking that something was wrong. Sifu was worried about the fact that he was afraid that this person would find something wrong again.
In the Zhou Dynasty, the emperor had twelve robes, all of which were named as the dragon. The emperor needed to wear a blue robes to worship God Haotian; the emperor sacrificed the gods of the five directions, each according to the color of the square, wearing blue robes to the sun, and only yellow robes to the emperor.
In the evening, the moon wore plain clothes, worshipped the country, and the country wore mysterious clothes; in the sacrifices of the ancestors, gave birth to the Yuan robes, and wore elephant clothes when they were in court.
When my son was not in charge of the rule, he often had to attend the ministers, and he was inevitably going to Taimiao to worship the ancestors of all dynasties, so there were naturally elephant clothes. However, since it was a wedding, he certainly had to wear new clothes. The princess of Qianjin always felt that the new clothes were not suitable, so she changed them many times.
The robes made are not suitable, which means that the skills are not good. To be more serious, they do not take the emperor seriously, so Sifu and others are very worried about their luck, but the princess of Qianjin did not make things difficult for them, but they just kept changing them.
At this moment, Princess Qianjin looked at it for a long time and finally nodded with satisfaction. Seeing this, not only Sifu was relieved, but even Yuwen Gankeng was relieved. After all, Shengri was really helpless about a robe.
"Goro will be married the next day. After all, the bride has entered the palace for the first time, so she may not remember so many etiquettes. If there is something a little rude, don't take it to heart." Princess Qianjin explained that her name for her younger brother had also changed. The wedding was about to be up, and she was always afraid of making mistakes, so she became more and more nagging.
"Um."
"Also, it is inevitable that you will be tired during a wedding. Don't be rude and make people criticize you for not being arrogant."
"Um."
The daughter-in-law said in a nagging manner, like a mother whose son is about to marry, explaining the precautions in detail. Yuwen Gankeng was not impatient at all and listened seriously.
This is his sister, like a mother, and only relatives will nag like this, because it is all for his own good.
But it's really... I've said it many times, it's really verbose...
Yuwen Gankeng thought so, of course he did not show it on his face. The Qianjin Princess finally played the old tune again, and suddenly looked at the people of all kinds next to him.
This means "you are backing". Whether it is the servant, the palace maid or the eunuch, they all retreat to the distance where they can't hear the whispers clearly. It shouldn't be like this, but it is understandable that the emperor and the eldest prince whisper.
Anyway, that one agrees, so if you don’t listen, just don’t listen.
Seeing that there was no one beside him, the daughter-in-law suddenly started to anihilate: "Goro, have you figured it out?"
"Ah? What's the matter with my sister?"
"Uh, it's a matter between men and women."
The daughter-in-law was not embarrassed, she was afraid that her younger brother would feel embarrassed about this topic, but Yuwen Gankeng was no longer the ignorant boy of the past. He smiled slightly: "Sister, don't worry, you should know, of course I figured it out."
Last year, Yuwen Gankeng was going to marry the wife of the Yuchi family into the palace, but the marriage was unexpectedly interrupted. However, before that, he had already started to eat meat and knew what the matter between men and women was.
Although he had not taken charge, Yuwen Gankeng, as the emperor, could not live like a monk. Before his wedding last year, in order to successfully get along with the queen that night, as a man, there were naturally palace maids to teach him what he should know.
The palace maid who has the opportunity to sacrifice himself is of course selected, so even though Yuwen Gankeng has changed from a boy to a man, and the matter between men and women is indeed very exciting, he does not have much feelings for his first woman.
For him, in this palace where misfortunes and blessings are unknown, the most trustworthy sister is of course the one who suffered a lot.
What Princess Qianjin is worried about now is that her younger brother did not know how to take too much demand on the night of the wedding, which made the bride feel in pain, so she didn't care about so much and explained directly: "Goro, the future is long, don't go too far the first night, so as not to be embarrassed, right?"
"Ah, oh..."
