Chapter 213 Borrow a set of soft red yarn
Yun Yiduo's wedding date is approaching, and Zhao Zijun's wedding date is also approaching. Facing the fate of marrying Da Chong, she is very calm. The little princess Zhao Xingchen still chatters around her every day, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs is also busy preparing her dowry.
Because it was a marriage between two countries, the dowry issue was also an important part of diplomatic relations.
On that day, when the Ministry of Internal Affairs handed over the dowry list to Emperor Zhangde, Empress Xue Jing was also in the Qinzheng Hall.
"The Central Plains treasury is empty, so the dowry for Jun'er is a bit simple. Queen, this is because I, as a father, am incompetent."
Emperor Zhangde was very upset, and he was still worried about the letter from King Da Chongming. His preferred candidate for queen was Princess Anle, Yun Yiduo, but then he suddenly said he wanted to marry Jun'er. He couldn't figure out what King Da Chong was up to.
"Your Majesty, the Clothing Bureau has something important to report."
Just when Emperor Zhangde was upset about the dowry, another problem arose at the Garment Bureau. The head of the Garment Bureau fell to his knees as soon as he entered the room and claimed to be guilty of the death penalty.
"Say, I forgive you."
The man put his head on the ground, and said with tears and snot:
"Your Majesty, the Clothing Bureau has been working day and night since receiving the imperial edict, and the princess' wedding dress was completed yesterday. But, but this morning when I wanted to take the wedding dress for the princess to try on, the wedding dress was... damaged by someone. It is incomplete and cannot be repaired."
The manager of the Garment Bureau cursed in his heart, and wanted to let him know who had done this heinous and murderous thing and cut that person into pieces and grind his bones to scatter ashes.
At this time, a certain prince who was walking leisurely on the road to Xiangnan suddenly sneezed loudly, rubbed his nose, and wondered, why is he sneezing, is he sick?
"Yu'er, please feel my pulse. I'm not going to be sick!"
Ji Wuye found an excuse to get close to Wu Yu's horse. His coquettish look made the followers of the Temple of Killing sneer at him. They shouldn't have followed Prince Ye out. Not only was he unreliable, he also did all kinds of weird things.
The princess didn't offend him, but she cut someone else's wedding dress. This is retribution. Fortunately, when the others followed, no one dared to do this. The wedding dress was cut by Prince Ye himself. Please make sure that retribution comes to him.
On the other hand, Emperor Zhangde was furious when he heard that the princess' wedding dress was destroyed. He ordered the director of the Garment Bureau to investigate the matter and asked the staff of the capital government to cooperate.
But there was only a little over a month left before the princess's wedding, and it was too late to make a wedding dress.
"Your Majesty, why don't you ask Princess Jian'an to borrow it?"
Now, the only one who has the wedding dress that is regulated by the Central Plains is Princess Jian'an. The Queen suggested this out of the desire to relieve the emperor's worries. But Emperor Zhangde felt even more bitter after hearing this. His eldest daughter's dowry was not generous enough, and she even had to wear an old wedding dress from more than 30 years ago. How aggrieved it was.
Her eldest daughter should have the unique favor in the world and enjoy the best treatment. So he shook his head at the queen.
"Jun'er cannot be wronged like this. Even if Jun'er's wedding dress is not unique in the world, it should be the most... I seem to know how to make up for it."
Emperor Zhangde seemed to have thought of something, his face full of excitement. He bent over his desk and quickly wrote a short message. When the ink dried, he carefully folded it and put it in an envelope and said:
"Long Yi."
Hearing his cry, the leader of the Dragon Guards, Long Yi, hurriedly appeared before the Emperor and Empress and knelt on one knee.
"Go to Yueyin Villa and borrow a piece of soft red gauze from Junior Sister. It is a one-of-a-kind wedding dress in the world."
Emperor Zhangde said this with a smile on his face. He seemed to have imagined how his daughter would look like in the wedding dress.
But at this time, he didn't know that Yun Ling's soft and light red gauze wedding dress was no longer unique, but the only one in the world, because the Yun Clan had already made another soft and light red gauze wedding dress for Yun Yiduo.
As Long Yi rode back and forth at a quick pace, most of the time had passed. In a blink of an eye, Zhao Zijun was about to set out from Tianjing City to marry.
Ji Cheng presented his letter with sincere words. Because of his injury, he could only marry in Xiangnan. The wedding day was the auspicious time of May 28. The location was set at Xiangnan Post Station.
For this purpose, the eldest princess needed to choose an auspicious day in mid-May to set off. The crown prince would personally send her off, the commander of the imperial guards Wei Changying would escort her, and the dragon guards would follow secretly.
In the middle of May of the eighteenth year of Zhangde, the city of Tianjing was extremely lively. Within a radius of more than 100 miles, every household was decorated with red and colorful decorations, as if they were happier than during the Spring Festival.
On the thick city wall, which was about three feet high, strips of red silk were interwoven with each other, like a huge net surrounding the entire capital city, with a dazzling blood-like color.
In the imperial city, just after midnight, some people in the city, which should have been under curfew, lit candles. One, two, three households lit up the entire night sky as bright as day.
In the center of the imperial city, the solemn and magnificent Forbidden City is brightly lit and crowded with people.
At this time, teams of imperial guards wearing heavy armor and red cloaks were passing through the palace walls. They were all guards escorting the eldest princess to her wedding.
The imperial guards were in a hurry, busy organizing the team and deploying personnel. The wedding procession was also very long, with ceremonial guards leading the way, dowries in the front, and long carriages like dragons, covered in red and decorated with colorful ribbons.
At the same time, the palace servants in the Princess's Palace seemed to be racing against time. They came and went in a hurry, as if they were on hot wheels, and they had no intention of stopping for a moment.
In the Chaoyang Palace, big red lanterns were hung high and big red silk curtains filled the sky. In the midst of all that red, sat a woman as quiet as water.
I saw that she had dark eyebrows, almond eyes like stars, and under her small and straight nose were red lips with a faint smile.
On her head, a phoenix crown inlaid with gold and jade seemed a little heavy, making her feel a little uncomfortable, but she still sat there, quietly waiting for the palace servants to carefully adjust it.
The bright red wedding dress was not made of the material commonly worn by the rich and powerful, but it was a rare treasure in the world, and when she wore it, she exuded a sense of elegance. In the light, the unique embroidery patterns of the wedding dress were revealed, dazzling people.
The palace maids around her were amazed at the priceless wedding dress, and even the palace maids beside her couldn't help but admire:
"Your Highness, this soft and light red gauze is really beautiful."
Zhao Zijun looked at the wedding dress and didn't say much, just nodded slightly. She knew that this was borrowed by her father at the cost of his status, and it was very precious, so she had to cherish it.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the door, followed by a crackling sound as if something had fallen.
"Oops! Sorry, sorry."
A clear girl's voice sounded outside, with a hint of guilt in her words. But before the voice could continue, people were already kneeling on the ground outside.
