The sun has just risen and Nuan Nuan has just woken up. The rewards given to Nuan Nuan by the Emperor, the Queen Mother, and the concubines in the palace have arrived!
There, several eunuchs read out the gift list for Zhi, and their high-pitched voices kept coming and going!
"One bouquet of Dendrobium, the Pearl of the East China Sea..."
"A South China Sea Pearl Phoenix Crown..."
"Hetian Yuyu is a happy pair..."
"Dragon and phoenix in auspicious jade pendant..."
... ...
One thing after another, boxes and cages filled the open space in the front yard.
Nuan Nuan's family knelt for a long time, but they didn't even receive the reward.
My warm knees hurt!
After finally finishing the reading, Eunuch Lin smiled and said: "Princess Hui'an has received the decree!"
Wen Nuan hurriedly took a few steps forward on his knees, raised his hands above his head, received the order, and kowtowed: "Your Majesty Hui'an receives the order, thank you for your kindness, long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
Others also kowtowed.
"Mr. An Guo, Madam Guo Gong, and Princess Hui'an, please get up quickly!"
Everyone stood up.
Eunuch Lin happily introduced to Wen Nuan: "Princess Hui'an, these two are the Xi Niangs sent by the Queen Mother to assist you with all the etiquette of your marriage. This is Aunt Xi, and this is Aunt Le!"
Behind the two nuns, there were several palace maids standing, all here to serve Nuan.
The two brides immediately bowed respectfully to Wen Nuan: "I have met Princess Hui'an. Princess Hui'an, may you be blessed and happy!"
Wen Nuan smiled and said: "You two are so polite!"
Eunuch Lin continued: "Princess Hui'an, this servant has to go to the palace to resume his duties. Tomorrow is the wedding day of Princess Hui'an and King Jin. I have to go back to the palace to make arrangements and take my leave!"
Wen Nuan didn't understand what Eunuch Lin wanted to arrange when he returned to the palace, so he nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch Lin. I have asked people to prepare some food. Eunuch Lin took it with him to eat on the road. He also helped me give it to the Queen Mother and the Emperor. The empresses of each palace will send some."
"Slave, thank you very much for Princess Hui'an's concern!"
"Eunuch Lin, you're welcome."
Then Nuan Nuan gave Eunuch Lin and the other father-in-laws and guards in the palace a reward of money and food as usual, and sent them away.
After seeing off the people in the palace, the courtyard suddenly became quiet.
Lin Tingya looked at the things in the whole yard and said with a smile: "Nuan Nuan, I think the rewards given by the Queen Mother and the Emperor are almost the same as those of the Eighth Princess."
Nuan Nuan nodded: "Yes. The Queen Mother and the Emperor have always been very good to me."
She is about to marry into the royal family. In fact, the emperor and the queen mother do not have to do this at all. Adding makeup is a matter for the mother's family, but the emperor and the queen mother say that these are gifts and do not count as adding makeup.
The amount of makeup given by the Emperor and the Queen Mother was almost the same as when the Eighth Princess got married, but each one had less.
Therefore, when the other concubines saw this, they did not dare to take it lightly. Compared with the eighth princess, they all lacked one thing to add to the warmth.
Because the eighth princess didn't know if she could come back to attend Wen Wen's wedding, she had already prepared to add makeup to Wen Wen and asked the Queen Mother to help add it.
Everything in this yard represents their love for warmth.
Aunt Xi smiled and said to Wen Nuan: "Princess Hui'an, does your courtyard have a small kitchen? I and Aunt Le will go and prepare fragrant soup for Princess Hui'an to bathe in."
The emperor ordered that the marriage between King Jin and Princess Hui'an should be carried out according to the etiquette of an emperor's marriage.
When a queen gets married, the etiquette is much more complicated than that of a princess. Just bathing in fragrant soup takes two more times than that of a princess!
Wen Nuan smiled and said: "Yes, I asked Zi Wan to take the two nuns over. Zi Wan, you can help the two nuns!"
"Yes!" Zi Wan agreed hurriedly and respectfully, and then invited several nuns and maids to go to the warm courtyard.
Seeing that it was getting late, Mrs. Wu said to her servants: "Hurry up and carry these things into the warehouse and decorate them! Cardamom, make sure you don't make any mistakes."
These need to be packaged and made into a dowry.
"Sister Nuan, please go back to the yard and dress up. The ladies from each house will come to add makeup soon."
Nuan Nuan had just changed his clothes and arrived at the flower hall, when carriages stopped in front of Duke Anguo's mansion one after another.
On this day, carriages were lined up in front of An Guogong's mansion.
People come and go in an endless stream.
In the afternoon, the emperor gave a banquet. After the ladies from each mansion had their meals, they rushed to leave before the sun went down.
They also have to go back to dress up, and then go to the palace to watch the ceremony in the middle of the night.
After the sun went down and all the people who came to add makeup left, Mrs. Wu quickly asked people to carry everyone's warm makeup to the warehouse, pack it up, and in a few hours, these things would have to be carried to Prince Jin's Mansion. .
The Wu family, the Wang family, the Tan family, the Zhang family, the Ye family and others were so busy that day that they wished they could use one more body to help greet the guests and deal with the etiquette ordered by Xi Niang.
After everyone who came to add makeup had left, Wen Nuan took a bath while Xi Niang was there.
The first time is to bathe in a fragrant soup made from herbs that can dispel wind and ward off evil spirits to wash away the evil spirits, then wash with water again, and then bathe in the fragrant soup of flowers.
After bathing, Xiniang came in with a bowl of glutinous rice balls to warm her up, and said with a respectful smile: "Princess Hui'an, please use Wuxi glutinous rice balls. You have to finish them all!"
Wen Nuan hasn't eaten dinner yet, because Xi Niang said that everything she ate tonight was exquisite.
Nuan Nuan took it and thanked him with a smile: "Thank you, grandma."
She looked at the glutinous rice balls in the meatballs. There were five colors in total, they were round and plump, and they looked very pleasing to the eye.
Wen Nuan took a small spoon and put a glutinous rice dumpling into his mouth. Xi Niang immediately sang happily: "On a good day, there is a girl in the Anguo Duke's mansion to be married. After eating Wuxi glutinous rice dumplings, I will go out. Once I eat red dates and longan glutinous rice dumplings, I will give birth to an early child." My dear son, we are reunited with wealth and honor, and the whole country happily celebrates the wedding year!"
Every time Nuan Nuan picks up a glutinous rice dumpling, Xiniang will say some auspicious words, which are nothing more than a happy marriage for a hundred years, a son will be born soon, reunion, harmony, happiness, longevity, wealth, and so on.
After eating glutinous rice balls, Ximo brought over another bowl of white rice.
Nuan Nuan glanced at the maids queuing up behind Aunt Xi.
Everyone was holding the same food in their hands, and she saw that besides white rice, there were also meals made from other grains, including five large bowls of dry rice!
How could she chew this!
Wen Nuan was dumbfounded: "No, you have to finish it, right?! I can't finish it! Go and ask Master Qi to come over and eat with me!"
Do you think too highly of her belly
If this was the case, she would definitely invite Nalan Jinnian to come over and eat together.
Husband and wife are one body, and of course they share blessings and hardships!
Princess Ning and Princess An came over to watch to avoid making mistakes. Seeing Wen Nuan like this, they both burst into laughter.
Aunt Xi was amused by Wen Nuan's words: "Princess Hui'an, don't worry, you only need to take one bite of this white rice, the most prominent one. For the next five-grain rice, just take the most prominent bite."
Nuan Nuan breathed a huge sigh of relief!
