Chapter seventy-eight of prosperity
Compared with the first two sets, this set of curved hem is much more gorgeous. The deep hem and silk skirt are tender pink, the edges are silver, embroidered with tangled crabapples of the same color, and the curved hem is swaying, which has a kind of bright and gentle girlishness, but not without dignity.
Qingzhi couldn't help but sigh slightly, half relieved and half emotion: "I really feel that Xier in my family has grown up after changing into this outfit."
Xizhi said nothing, and only replied with a bright smile. The two looked at each other and laughed again. Xizhi walked around the scene with elegant demeanor, dignified and graceful gait, which won a lot of praise.
After the display, Xizhi faced the old princess of the Shun Palace and gave a formal worship ceremony. This was the second time in the wedding ceremony, which expressed her respect for the seniors of the wedding ceremony.
After worshiping, Xizhi still returned to the mattress and sat facing the east. Pianzheqing also washed his hands again, untied her previous snail bun, took a comb with mutton fat jade Ruyi pattern, and skillfully tied a bun for her. Unlike the cute and cute snail bun, the bun is a high bun, gorgeous and noble, but also has a flowing and graceful beauty. When women in the palace wear formal clothes, they prefer this hairstyle.
Zhengbin washed his hands again and then returned to the position; Princess Hanzhang presented a carefully prepared gilded jade lotus hairpin, and at this time, the outside praises and sang loudly: "The Queen Mother and Miss Lin Si and the Hairboard, and gave a pure gold ruby peony flower crown~"
The Queen Mother's reward once again confirmed the guests' speculation that pure gold-inlaid ruby peony corolla is not something that anyone can wear. It is a symbol of grade and identity, and it also openly demonstrates Xizhi's future status.
Looking at the countless envious eyes sitting, Xizhi's heart suddenly sank. At first, when the Queen Mother rewarded her, she was still a little uneasy, but she didn't dare to think deeper. Now the Queen Mother's reward was clearly placed in front of her, asking her how she could avoid it.
Thinking of many of the actions of his grandparents before, Xizhi felt clear in his heart. It turned out that all this was because they had already decided long ago. After the hairpin, they would be sent to the palace. From a noble family, Xizhi never dared to hope that he could find a husband he liked like his parents and then have a pair of people for the rest of his life.
But she never thought that her grandparents would let her enter the palace. It was a whirlpool of power. Once she stepped in, she would be doomed. How could Xizhi, who was calm and stubborn by nature, survive in that place?
Grandma Empress Dowager Lin and aunt Nian Jing are both victims of the Game of Thrones. Xizhi believes that whether it is their grandparents or parents, with their love for them, they will never send themselves into this abyss.
Thinking of this, Xizhi's heart, which was full of joy, became cold in an instant, and suddenly realized that her mother had escaped from her for more than a year. Because she was full of guilt, she was powerless to change all this.
As his father thanked his grace mechanically, Xizhi returned to the mattress in a wooden manner and continued the mattress. The old princess took the peony flower crown rewarded by the empress dowager, walked to Xizhi, and chanted a loud congratulations: "With the year's uprightness and the moon's orders, Xianjia's patronization. Brothers are there to achieve great virtue. The yellow treasures are boundless and receive the celebration of the sky."
Qingzhi hurriedly removed the hairpin for Xizhi, and the old princess carefully added the peony hairpin for her, then got up and restored her position. Qingzhi helped her straighten the flower crown, helped Xizhi back to the east room, and went to the room to change the large-sleeved long skirt dress matching the head on her head.
This is a formal long skirt dress with a large sleeve. The top is made of vermilion dark patterned cloud brocade, wrapped in light gold Ruyi pattern wide edges. When the wide sleeves are hanging down, they are enough to hang down. The lower skirt is also vermilion red, the hem of the skirt is long behind the body, and the waist is also a light gold Ruyi patterned belt, and the same patterned ribbon.
Qingzhi tied a jade pendant with a green jade hollowed-out Ruyi Pan cloud pattern for her, and used a light golden silk ribbon to form a chain of plum blossoms.
Xizhi's usual dress is simple, elegant and fresh. Today, she looks particularly elegant and elegant when wearing this grand dress.
When Qingzhi saw her expressionless, he also knew that she felt uncomfortable. She knew her own girl's personality and was easy-going and kind. If the matter of entering the palace was exposed to other ladies, she would naturally be ecstatic, but for Xizhi, it would be a disaster.
But this matter has probably been decided privately, and Xizhi can no longer change anything, so he advised softly: "Good girl, no matter what you think, today is your big day. No matter what you want, you should smile no matter what others say, and you should not let others laugh, or make your uncle feel sad."
After hearing this, Xizhi reluctantly smiled at her and whispered: "Don't worry, big sister, Xi'er won't make it difficult for her father to do."
"Well, that's good." Qingzhi didn't know how to say anything else, so he had to nod his head lightly, but she was still relieved about Xizhi.
The two of them came out again, and Xizhi smiled appropriately on his face, showing his dress to the guests. When he turned to the guest's seat, he suddenly felt a sharp look at him, but Xizhi looked up but met a pair of playful eyes.
Mu Zhang's lips curled slanted and showed a meaningful smile at her. Xizhi's figure stuttered slightly, and the smile on his face frozen for a moment, but it quickly returned to normal. He nodded and smiled at other guests in turn.
Finally, I went to the portrait of the Lin family ancestors in the family temple and performed a regular worship ceremony. This was the third worship of the hairpin ceremony, which meant that I did not forget the ancestors' legacy and abide by the moral principles.
Princess Si Hanzhang had already removed the furnishings of the hairpin. The maid and maid from the Lin Mansion immediately set up a sumptuous banquet on the west stairs. The old princess, who was the guest, invited today's hairpin Xizhi to join the banquet. Xizhi stood on the west side of the banquet as usual, facing the south.
The old princess went west and offered a cup of sake.
Xizhi then turned to the north. The old princess took the wine and walked to the table of the hairpin. She faced Xizhi and solemnly recited her congratulations: "The sweet wine is only thick, and I recommend the flowers to the scent of the country. I worshiped and sacrificed to ensure that I am lucky. I will never forget the longevity of the heavens."
Xizhi paid a greeting, took the wine and went to the table, knelt down and sprinkled some of the wine on the ground as a sacrifice, then lit it with the wine symbolically, then placed the wine on the table, Princess Hanzhang presented a small bowl of rice, and Xizhi took it and also ate a symbolic little.
Xizhi solemnly bowed to the old princess, then stood up and left the seat, stood to the east of the west stairs, facing the south. The old princess stood up and faced the east. Lin Qingxuan also stood up and faced the west.
Next, the official guest took the word for today's hairpin, which also shows that Xizhi has officially become an adult from now on. The old princess's face is no longer as solemn and graceful as it was at the beginning, and she smiled with a kind face. She recited her congratulations: "After the etiquette is ready, let the moon be auspicious day, I will announce the word "I am the name Kong Jia". The name is suitable for the fashionistas. It is suitable for the falsehood and will be protected forever, and it is called Jingchenfu."
In fact, Jingchen was a word given by Empress Dowager Lin long ago. Xizhi didn't think much about it at the time, but now he understood the meaning of the word. Although his heart was ups and downs, Xizhi forced himself to suppress it and replied calmly: "Although I am not sensitive, I dare not come here."
After saying that, he bowed respectfully to the old princess.
At this point, the most important three plus three prayers of the wedding ceremony were all completed. He turned around and walked to Lin Qingxuan and knelt down straight and listened to his teachings. Lin Qingxuan looked at his daughter in a formal dress, and felt both happy and guilty. In fact, he had seen the changes in his emotions about Xizhi for a long time, but he was really powerless to do anything about this.
"Xi'er has become an adult from today. In the future, she should abide by the duties of women and follow the precepts of ancestors." Although Lin Qingxuan said this briefly, she told her daughter in disguise that things were a foregone conclusion, so she should face it calmly.
Xizhi was slightly stunned. Fortunately, she kept her head down and said with respect. No one could notice this subtle expression. Then Xizhi replied calmly: "Although my son is not sensitive, I dare not accept it!" This also tactfully answered her father's expectations, which made Lin Qingxuan happy, and the guilt and distress in her heart became stronger.
Xizhi bowed deeply to his father, then slowly stood up, stood in the center of the venue, and started from the old princess of Zhengbin, bowed and replied to everyone present to thank everyone. Anyone who received the ceremony nodded slightly to express his gratitude.
After bowing in circles, it was also considered the formal ceremony of the hairpin. Then Xizhi and his father and aunt were on the side. Lin Qingxuan announced to all the participants: "The hairpin ceremony of the little girl Xi has been completed. Thank you for your kind participation!"
Xizhi and his father bowed to the audience again to express their gratitude... Next, there was a formal banquet. The Empress Dowager and the Empress's envoy did not attend. After watching the ceremony, they said goodbye one after another. However, King Muzhang of Jin stayed generously, and Lin Qingxuan had to accompany him in person. Muzhang held him with a spring breeze on his face, and the chat was very harmonious.
After greeting the guests, Xizhi returned to the table of Princess Hanzhang and Huang Qingyao and other sisters. Only then did a few friends present their gifts and congratulate her on her happiness. Because it was a hairpin gift, everyone's gifts were nothing more than hairpin rings, which added makeup to Xizhi.
Princess Hanzhang gave a gilded phoenix bird, which was exquisite and complex in workmanship, and it was obvious that it was written by the master. Huang Qingyao gave a plum blossom hairpin with white jade. Although the style is simple, it is better because the jade is transparent and lush, which can be seen as valuable. The most special one is a jade hairpin given by Mei Qinxue. At first glance, it was thought it was carved from jade. When I first looked at it, I found that it was made of wood. It was amazing.
Several people asked curiously, but even she couldn't tell what material it was. They only thought that it was discovered by chance in their grandmother's dowry. Because they seemed to like it, they specially gave it to give gifts.
Xizhi knew that this hairpin must be of extraordinary value. He remembered this friendship in his heart, but only smiled and expressed his gratitude. Several friends knew Xizhi's nature, so they did not mention the rewards in the palace.
The banquet ended at the moment. Xizhi, the protagonist today, went to see off all the guests one by one with his father and aunt Qian Xinlan. Because of his noble status, the King of Jin said goodbye first. The old princess of the Shun Palace then left, and the other guests said goodbye one by one according to their identities.
In the evening, he finally saw the last guest away. Xizhi felt sore all over his body. He had never been as grand as today. Moreover, the weather in Japan is hot today, and wearing brocade is even more uncomfortable.
Qian Xinlan knew she was tired too, so she instructed warmly: "Xi'er is tired too, go take a shower first, take a rest, and go to see your grandmother in the evening."
Xizhi didn't care about being polite after hearing this, so he quickly agreed to go back to Chuxiyuan.
