Lying on the soft bed, Emperor Tianqi looked comfortable, and there were two beautiful palace maids helping to massage him. This is how an emperor should live! After returning from the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Emperor Tianqi has always been in this posture. It's really

It was too tiring. At this point in the entire wedding process, Emperor Tianqi could finally take a rest. He glanced at Chen Hong who was standing aside. Emperor Tianqi smiled and asked: "Chen Hong, how much did my wedding cost?"

"

Hearing Emperor Tianqi's question, Chen Hong suddenly felt a little embarrassed, with a wry smile on his face. After hesitating for a while, he said carefully: "Your Majesty, the country's money and food are tight, so the Queen Mother said that the wedding needs to be simple, maybe...

"

"Speak directly if you have anything to say, don't hesitate!" Looking at Chen Hong's appearance, Emperor Tianqi became irritated and said loudly.

"Yes, His Majesty's wedding was frugal, so he spent a total of 1.2 million taels of silver, 800,000 taels of silver from the inner treasury, and 400,000 taels of silver from the household department!" As he spoke, Chen Hong looked at it carefully.

Emperor Tianqi looked very scared.

Emperor Tianqi didn't understand, but Chen Hong understood very well. The emperor's wedding this time can be said to be inexpensive. If Emperor Tianqi loses his temper, things will be really troublesome. Chen Hong clearly remembers that Shenzong paid for his

The two sons organized a wedding and spent 24 million taels of silver just on purchasing jewelry. Emperor Tianqi's wedding only cost 1.2 million taels of silver. In comparison, this was a shabby and tight situation.

wedding.

Emperor Tianqi was stunned, this time he was really stunned, not because he spent less, but because he spent too much. 1.2 million taels! If this money is placed in Liaodong or northwest,

You can put it anywhere! But now it's just a wedding. Emperor Tianqi gave Xu Guangqi one million taels of silver, which already seemed like a lot.

After looking at the frightened Chen Hong, Emperor Tianqi sighed deeply. Perhaps in Chen Hong's view, the money spent on this wedding was too little. At this time, Emperor Tianqi finally understood that this Ming Dynasty was not without

Money, yes, money is all in the hands of big people, and they are not spent where it should be spent. I am the biggest big money person in the world!

After thinking about it, Emperor Tianqi said to Chen Hong: "How much does it cost per month in this palace?"

Although he didn’t know why Emperor Tianqi asked this, Chen Hong did not dare to offend Emperor Tianqi at this time. He bowed to Emperor Tianqi and said respectfully: “The monthly expenses of this palace are about 150,000 taels.

If there are sacrifices or festivals, we will add more appropriately!"

Emperor Tianqi shook his head again and smiled bitterly. Listening to the noise outside, he suddenly felt very harsh. It seemed that this was not the joy of a wedding, but the death knell for the country. Lying slumped in bed, Emperor Tianqi felt that this wedding was really full of joy.

Satire!

No one knew the mood of Emperor Tianqi. It was still very lively outside. After the messengers who welcomed the bride left the Hall of Supreme Harmony, they walked outside. At this time, the Dharma Book was displayed in the Hall of Supreme Harmony and the courtyard. The Queen's guard of honor was displayed in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Outside the Meridian Gate, there is a queen's ceremonial carriage. On the apricot satin curtain outside, a large phoenix is ​​embroidered with gold thread. "Female Music" is located behind the Qianqing Palace and in front of the Jiaotai Palace.

The envoy to welcome the bride, Liu Yijing, a cabinet scholar, will place the gold book and gold treasures in the "Dragon Pavilion". The guard of honor and the drum band are in the front, the envoy to the bride is in the middle, followed by the welcoming officials, eunuchs, and guards, and go out of the Meridian Gate to join the Queen's honor guard.

, carried a large number of gifts and went straight to Zhang's house!

The group of people stretched for several miles, with the Jinyi guards in front of them clearing the way. There were countless people watching and following on the street.

The Zhang Mansion has started small-scale renovations since Najib was accepted; large-scale renovations have been started since Najib was announced; since the announcement, the whole government has been mobilized, top and bottom, no one can be idle, renovating the house and doing a lot of environmental work

Hygiene. Although it cannot be "overstepped" and made as splendid as a palace, it must also be dazzling and try to make people feel that they are "well-matched". The entire household, including the whole family, must have everything new inside and outside.

It’s so busy when it comes to traveling, not to mention the lanterns and decorations, the wedding banquet, and the “wedding invitations” are widely distributed!

Putting on makeup for the bride is the most troublesome thing. After making such a big fuss, almost everyone in the world knows that raw rice has basically become cooked rice, and "return" is unlikely. However, what if the emperor's son-in-law lifts his hijab and becomes dissatisfied and unhappy?

, if these relatives are not close, the emperor's favor will not be so great. So, when I take a bath, I want to rub off a layer of Miss Zhang's skin! After bathing, I repeatedly use skin care products made with mung bean powder as the main raw material.

Then use facial cleanser made from honey, rose petals and other raw materials to apply on the face. Use a high-grade paper film that is rare for court ministers to see, and wipe it gently. Then use mutton fat, white pigment

Skin care cream made from fragrance and other raw materials is applied repeatedly. The last step is to apply fragrance powder on the face, draw eyeliner, eye shadow, draw green eyebrows, and apply red lips. Then, tinker with two pieces on the two cheeks.

"Cheeks" come.

As for the hairstyle, of course it must be done according to the several styles stipulated in the "document". There is a "level". If it looks like a concubine or a noble concubine, it will be bad. Whether it is a romantic "flying bun" or

The novel "up-to-the-sky bun" must not only consider the convenience of wearing a phoenix crown, but also suit Miss Zhang's face shape. The two locks of hair on the sideburns must hang "naturally" no matter what, like elegant cicada wings, so that the emperor's son-in-law will fall in love with her as soon as he sees it.

Eyes glow.

It was said quickly, but then slowly. After repeated deliberation, repeated tests, repeated arguments, and repeated rehearsals, it was not until the first night of the wedding that the plate was finally "set." But it was good that such a Youmin looked like Miss Qian.

She looked like a porcelain figure, without any vitality at all. However, her parents both said that she was beautiful and the most important thing was "dignity".

Looking at herself in the mirror, Zhang Yan shook her head and smiled bitterly, with a look of helplessness on her face. She had no say in this matter. Even the maid Xiaohuan, who was close to her, was full of happiness at this time.

He was doing it for himself, with beads of sweat all over his face.

At this moment, Miss Zhang was fully armed and sitting on the embroidery floor. She heard the drum music for welcoming the bride getting closer and closer, and the "drum" in her heart was beating more and more urgently. Before the time came, she finally didn't know what she looked like.

, whether it can be favored by "customers"!

Although she had met Emperor Apocalypse once, the two of them just glanced at each other briefly. Zhang Yan didn't even see clearly what Emperor Apocalypse looked like. Like the girl who was about to get married, she felt very uneasy!

"Xiaohuan, give me a glass of water!" He seemed to feel a little thirsty, so he greeted Xiaohuan who was standing not far away.

"Miss, you have to be careful, don't show off your pretense!" Xiaohuan told Zhang Yan with a nervous look on her face as she handed the water glass to Zhang Yan.
