After combing her hair, it was already bright outside. Jixiang and the aunt who combed her hair helped Mu Nanzhi put on the auspicious clothes. The phoenix crown and harem were also taken out and placed on one side, covered by a wedding handkerchief. Zhi's shoes have been put away. From now on, Mu Nanzhi can only sit on the bed and is not allowed to go to the ground.
At the end of the day, the palace of Princess Duanhui and Shuo was already bustling with excitement. Concubine Wan Gui wanted to win over Princess Anle and Prince Ning, and she was also thinking about how to gain face in front of Wanzai while the queen was cold. How could the excitement naturally come about? , not only sent his son, the third prince Lu Zhihe, to take charge of all matters, but also specially appointed Lu Zhihe to be Mu Nanzhi's brother and carry the sedan chair for Mu Nanzhi.
It has always been a custom in Dali that when a woman gets married, her feet are not allowed to touch the ground before taking off the wedding veil. In the natal family, her brothers carry her to the sedan chair. When she arrives at her husband's house, she is carried into the bridal chamber by her husband. Concubine Wan Guifei's move can be described as an act of encouragement. After marrying Princess Anle, she naturally also curried favor with Lord Long Live.
Concubine Wan Gui was so enthusiastic, so naturally Concubine Li was not to be outdone. Not only did she personally give Princess Anle generous rewards to polish her dowry, but early this morning, the fifth prince Lu Zhicheng, Princess Linglong Lu Zhichan, and the consort Chen Shian were also present.
"Anle, I've been waiting to see your phoenix crown for many days, and I finally have a chance to see it today," Linglong Princess Lu Zhichan teased Mu Nanzhi with a smile, "I heard about the eldest brother early in the morning. I asked a master from outside to make the phoenix crown for you. I heard that the eldest brother put a lot of effort into it, and his craftsmanship may even be inferior to that of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Mu Nanzhi said with a smile: "Princess, you are joking. No matter how good the craftsmanship of the outside master is, how can it be compared with that of the Ministry of Internal Affairs? It's just that the prince saw that everyone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs was very busy and was afraid that the Ministry of Internal Affairs would be embarrassed, so he had no choice but to invite him. The master outside.”
Lu Zhichan smiled brightly and narrowly: "This bride has not yet been married, but she is so fiercely defending the groom. It can be seen that she really complies with the old saying, a married daughter throws away water!"
Mu Nanzhi's cheeks turned red: "Princess is used to teasing her maidens."
"How dare I tease you now?" Lu Zhichan smiled even worse, "After today, you will be my eldest sister-in-law. When we meet in the future, I will have to salute you and say hello! If I dare to tease you again , Brother Huang, why don’t you come to teach me a lesson? Haha, but since my cousin has become a sister-in-law, we are still a family after all.”
Mu Nanzhi held her lips and said softly: "Yes, we are still a family after all."
"Sister, Grandma asked you to clean your hands and prepare your son to give Sister Anle hairpin flowers later." The fifth prince Lu Zhicheng came in and called Lu Zhichan to clean his hands and prepare.
Men are not allowed to enter the bride's boudoir, but Lu Zhicheng is Mu Nanzhi's cousin and he is underage, so no one will stop him from entering.
The bride's hairpin is decorated with velvet flowers, which is also a Dali wedding custom. It has the meaning of wishing the groom prosperity and wealth. He must find a noble married woman to give the bride a hairpin. Since Concubine Wan Gui's son is carrying the sedan for Princess Anle, who will give the bride a hairpin? The matter naturally fell on Princess Linglong, who was born to Concubine Li.
"Okay, then I'll go and clean my hands right now," Lu Zhichan stood up and agreed, patting Lu Zhicheng on the shoulder with a smile, "Then you stay here and spend time with your sister Anle. Isn't that what you usually like the most? Are you happy with your sister?"
Lu Zhicheng was a little shy and whispered: "Sister, go quickly. Grandma said that the wedding team will be here soon."
