Chapter 156 Be the princess for us

In ancient times, there were six rituals for marriage.

There are six procedures from the time of marriage negotiation to the final marriage.

The first is to be accused of the matchmaker, asking the matchmaker to come to the woman's house to propose marriage; the second is to ask for the name, that is, the woman agreed to propose marriage, and handed over the name and horoscope to the matchmaker to get married.

These two procedures also require gifts, of course, they are far less expensive than Najib and Nazheng's gifts later.

Concubine Dan Tai sent a female official from Linhua Palace to come to the door with gifts to recruit and ask for names.

Take a simple procedure.

The gift list given by the imperial concubine is also very simple: four sections of silk, fifty taels of gold, six hundred taels of silver, five pearls, a pair of jade Ruyi, sixty pieces of cooked silk in each color, and another jade pendant.

The Xue family accepted these and handed over Xue Yutan's horoscope to the female official in Linhua Palace, which was equivalent to marrying King Yu.

This is how folk marriages are done.

"...This is too little." Xiuzhu quickly found out the news and told Xue Mei.

He did not first ask for an imperial edict, did not have a marriage letter, and gave a little betrothal gift, and then sent two 40-year-old nannies to teach Xue Yutan.

Everyone in the Yongning Marquis' Mansion and Xue Yutan thought this matter was for sure.

King Yu also promised: "My mother said that it will last for one year. You have to study hard with the nannies this year."

Xue Yutan said that he was cured, but his illness was reduced by 80%.

The maids in Huiningyuan were a little depressed, because the second lady became a princess, which was much more valuable than their eldest lady’s identity.

In the future, the young lady will be married, and the Wen family will be far inferior to the Prince Yu Mansion, and will lose to the second lady.

But the second lady had very few gift lists, and she was still told by the maids of Huiningyuan.

Other servants at home also discussed it.

However, the old lady said, "If you want to talk to the princess again, you will beat him to death with sticks!"

In private, the old lady and Yongning Hou also muttered that this matter was a bit simple.

"... The prince is a good match. He should have a minister of the Ministry of Rites come to accept the title and then grant the imperial edict." The Marquis of Yongning was still a little knowledgeable, "The imperial concubine is not very etiquette."

The old lady pondered for a moment: "The imperial concubine said that she would discuss marriages again in a year. Now she is just a matter of making a decision to make both Yutan and Prince Yu feel at ease. In a year, she will definitely follow the rules."

Yongning Hou nodded.

He and the old lady were reluctant to think about it any more, and did not dare to force the imperial concubine and the King Yu.

If someone is willing to take this step, he is already despicable.

The Xue family's down-and-out family and Xue Yutan's status as a concubine, he was able to marry Prince Yu as his official concubine.

The imperial concubine was definitely not happy. But the others compromised, and the Marquis's mansion was making troubles endlessly, and good things were going to be ruined.

What we need to do now is to get through this year hard.

Those who know the matter pretend not to know; while Xue Yutan and King Yu didn't know the tricks here.

No matter how smart Xue Yutan is, she is just a woman in the boudoir of seventeen or eighteen years old. When she goes to inquire about the process of discussing marriage, it is unruly and will make fun of her when she finds out.

She only knows a rough idea.

What the imperial concubine gave her happened to be the approximate one she knew vaguely.

Xue Yutan was confident and became more and more calm.

She had just subsided and the cold was slightly reduced, so she got up and studied with the two nannies sent by the imperial concubine.

Xue Yutan soon discovered that these two nannies were very strict and she needed to learn from morning to night.

Getting up early is court etiquette, dressing; in the morning it is calligraphy and playing the piano; in the afternoon it is reading and girl-red; after dinner, you still need to learn to draw eyebrows and apply powder, and even learn art of room.

When Xue Mei heard about it, she felt that later generations of Earth youth were not so tired during the college entrance examination. She was amazed: "The imperial concubine is so smart. She tortures people without any hesitation, and she also wants to make the other party grateful."

While sighing, Xue Mei was gloating and paralyzed, and she had no sympathy for Xue Yutan's experience.

"Miss, the imperial concubine has made such a cruel teaching to the second lady. Maybe she will really be Princess Yu," said Xiuzhu.

Xue Mei: "What is the importance of whether the imperial concubine wants or not; it doesn't matter whether King Yu wants or not."

"Who thinks it's more important?"

"Your Majesty." Xue Mei smiled, "Your Majesty has said publicly that if you don't like our second lady, this matter will not be done. The imperial concubine knows it, but King Yu is innocent.

What the imperial concubine has to do now is to not let King Yu hold a grudge against her and His Majesty, but also to ruin this matter. Wait, the second lady’s hard life is at the back."

Unless the second lady can make the emperor change her view.

However, this is difficult.

The emperor himself was born into a palace maid, which led to his particular sensitivity to his background.

He was fostered under the name of Empress Liao and took over a legitimate child. Because he was not a true legitimate child, he maintained his orthodoxy and cared more than his real legitimate son.

What he looked down upon was Xue Yutan's origin. No matter how beautiful Xue Yutan is, it is useless to have a scheming, and she can't change her origin.

Unless Xue Yutan can kill enemies on the frontier like those generals and make contributions to fighting, the emperor will look up to her.

This is difficult to ascend to heaven, but Xue Yutan himself was ignorant and thought that if he fooled King Yu, everything would be fine.

Xue Mei was not in the mood to pay attention to these things. She still teased the cat every day and planned to make money with the little prince.

After that day, Xue Mei designed the mahjong drawings himself and hired a skilled craftsman to make them. Three days later, he sent them to the Prince's Mansion.

The beauties in the Prince's Mansion all recognize words, so it's not difficult to play mahjong.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if you don’t recognize words. You can learn it, and there are not many words to learn in mahjong.

She taught them, and soon they became addicted.

From then on, the beauties in the Prince's Mansion were obsessed with playing mahjong and were very happy when they saw Xue Mei.

Xue Mei has made a full sense of presence.

Meiren Cai even said: "My County Lord, you will be the princess for our princess, and we promise not to cause trouble for you."

"Yes, if you have children, I will make clothes for the prince, and I will make many children's clothes."

"When the prince is older, he will have another little daughter and play with her all day long, which is also very interesting."

"Anyway, our royal family is old, so it's better to have a few more children. If you go out with the prince to do business, we will take care of the children at home."

When they said these words, Xue Mei's cat was baring his teeth beside him.

Xue Mei hurriedly held the cat down so that he wouldn't scratch his concubine Hua Rongyuemao's face.

She couldn't laugh or cry.

"...Why should I come here to give birth to your prince?" Xue Mei laughed.

"Don't you want to?" Cheng Meiren was a little surprised, "Don't you know that our prince is very rich?"

"It's not that I don't want to, but that my fiancé may not want to." Xue Mei said, "I'll turn around and ask him, do you mind if I'm marrying two men alone."

Women: "…"

Just as Xue Mei was talking nonsense to her concubines, Xiao Mingyu quietly leaned on the door post of the flower hall and listened to their words.

Xue Mei caught a glimpse of him and nodded at him: "The little prince is back."

The concubines felt a little sad, afraid that the prince would be angry, and afraid that the county lord would be embarrassed, so they would not come to the palace to play in the future.

It doesn’t matter to the county lord, the county lord has no such thing as a skin.

The little prince didn't seem very angry either.

He glanced at the mahjong and ignored it: "What's so fun about this?"

"Then Prince, go quickly, you can talk to the county lord in another place." Meiren Cheng wanted a card without a single card, and was very unhappy with the disturbance of the little prince.

Xiao Mingyu: “…”

Xue Mei was neither big nor young, and she had taught all his concubines.
