Transfer Fubao four and a half years old
Chapter 690: A confrontation between two people in front of Princess An Ran.
Attending one flower-viewing banquet after another, Lady Shunguogong said her daughter was too young and that she would not meet any good candidates, so she turned them all down.
But in the past two days, the two thirteen-year-old twin daughters were suddenly granted marriages, and both were granted the title of royal wife (Fujin), which caused an uproar in the capital.
There was no disturbance at all before the marriage was granted, and the two families did not publicize it deliberately after the marriage was granted. However, once the news came out, every household in the capital was talking about it like crazy for a few days.
There were many people who were envious, jealous and hateful. In addition, the houses and noble families that they were on good terms with came to congratulate them. There were also many families who wanted to make friends with them. The reception made the old lady and Li Yan extremely anxious, and they deeply felt the power of the royal family and the powerful.
Even more families with daughters who have not found a marriage partner are anxious. Some of them originally wanted their daughters to stand out in the beauty pageant, thinking that even if they are not favored by the emperor or the empress dowager, at least they can enter the prince's or beile's mansion to become a principal wife or concubine (Fujin), or even a concubine.
Prince Zhou had originally been granted marriage, so the only positions that could be competed for were concubine and noble concubine. Officials in the capital naturally disdained to compete for other concubines.
Now the originally coveted wife of Prince Jue and wife of Beile are out of the question, and the principal lady is only thirteen years old. It is impossible to bring in a concubine before she is married into the palace, so there is no need to even think about these two families.
It is hard to say whether the seventeenth prince will have a separate residence this year, let alone whether he will be granted a marriage immediately.
Once the original wishful thinking was disrupted, the original balance was broken, and everyone knew that it was impossible to get a piece of the pie.
Some palaces have begun to feel a little uneasy. The odds of success were already very low due to the fact that there were too many people and too little porridge. In addition, it was rumored that the Emperor only favored the empress, and the selection of concubines was probably just a show. Only a few people would actually be chosen. It would probably be difficult to share the favor with the Queen.
For a time, a wave of dating craze started to sweep the circle of noble ladies in the capital. Many noble ladies who were still on the sidelines at a certain age also decided to get married after careful selection.
There are also some who are around the same age as Chuchu and Juanjuan, whose families are simply not in a hurry. Anyway, they are not old enough and probably won’t be selected in the talent show. They might as well wait another two years. Maybe after the talent show is over, their chances will be better. At worst, they can just wait and choose later.
Things in the capital were changing every day, and amidst the hustle and bustle and gossip, the day for Princess Anran's Taoist ceremony, March 28th, had arrived.
The day before, the bones of Princess Anran had to be brought back personally by Prince Jue and Chuchu. Although ten years had passed, the bones of the princess were still very well preserved when they were dug out. That was because when she was buried, Prince Yao was forced to use the best coffin due to pressure from Prince Chun's Mansion. The west-facing location also provided sufficient sunlight and the bones were hardly corroded.
The skeleton was brought back in a pre-prepared painted pottery jar with a stork, fish and stone axe pattern. After burning incense and praying and Master Tonglian performing the ritual, Prince Jue personally held the pottery jar while Chuchu held an umbrella for Princess Anran. The two of them had to walk like this for about three or four miles, from the halfway point on the west side of the imperial mausoleum to the top of the mountain on the east side. Then they would place her next to the current tomb passage, in a three-foot-high shed that had been erected long ago, and bury her after the seven-day ritual was completed.
Master Tonglian instructed the two: "Handle it with care, do not put it down or stop halfway, and talk to Princess Anran along the way to make her feel at ease."
Jiao Zhongjue carefully lifted the pottery jar. Chuchu held an umbrella with one hand and gently supported Brother Jue's elbow holding the pottery jar with the other hand, trying to get as close to Princess Anran and Brother Jue as possible.
Jiao Zhongjue stood up and began to speak to his mother: "Mom, let's go home, back to our own home in Prince Jue's mansion."
Jiao Zhongjue looked at Chuchu, and Chuchu moved her mouth...: "Mom... go home!"
The person next to Chuchu raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
After walking a few steps forward, Jiao Zhongjue said, "Mom, your house will face east and be sunny from now on. You will definitely like it."
Chuchu: "Mom, you must like it!"
Jiao Zhongjue: "Mother, the emperor has granted his son a marriage. Chuchu will be your daughter-in-law from now on."
Chuchu: "Mom, ... Chuchu is my daughter-in-law."
Jiao Zhongjue: "Mother, marrying Chuchu is your wish. She is also the one that I will protect for the rest of my life. I will never let her down."
Chu Chu: "Mother...Chu Chu...will not let him down."
……
Jiao Zhongjue: "Mom, we are going to have a bunch of children in the future, five sons and five daughters."
Chu Chu glared at the person next to her, a little coquettish and a little annoyed, but she didn't dare to stop talking: "Mom, Abbot Qingyun said that Chu Chu will only have three sons and one daughter in this life, just like Chu Chu's mother."
The man next to him grinned even wider, and walked steadily, but kept smiling at Chu Chu out of the corner of his eyes. When Chu Chu pinched the soft flesh on his waist, he did not dodge.
The two of them never stopped, just leaning against each other, talking to Princess An Ran in a casual manner. It was more like making a lifelong commitment to Princess An Ran than talking to her.
In the front were Master Tonglian and his three uncles, leading the way, about ten feet away from them. Behind them were the monks performing rituals and their relatives. The craftsmen also followed after they had finished cleaning up, not too far away, but the line was very long.
The pines and cypresses on the mountains on both sides are very tall, with branches slanting out and rustling in the wind. Under the bright sunshine, it does not look gloomy at all, but more like a ceremonial procession to see off Princess Anran.
The preliminary work for the burial took a full six months, and the news of the reburial of Princess An Ran had already spread throughout the capital, and many people were curious and inquired about it.
Prince Jue holds a high position of power, and officials of all ranks give him face. They would send people to deliver condolences in advance and take the initiative to show their goodwill.
The reception here had already started three days ago. The chief steward Jiao Er and Eunuch Wei from Prince Jue's mansion were in charge of the reception. Prince Chun's mansion also sent people to cooperate. Zimo and Zishu went from Duke Shun's mansion.
There were a lot of people coming to the Taoist temple on the first day, and most of the women from each prefecture came as representatives to pay tribute and watch the ceremony.
Right in front of the main tomb passage, the memorial platform is very large, six feet high, with more than a dozen steps leading up to it in the four directions of east, south, west and north. The floor tiles and fences are all made of white marble, which looks solemn and dignified.
Going down the steps in front of the memorial platform, there is a semicircular area of about 260 feet in diameter, which has been paved with sesame-white granite. It looks as big as half a racetrack. The stones used in the entire cemetery were all brought from faraway Shanxi. The surrounding area is swept very cleanly, and even most of the excavated soil has been cleared away, leaving only two piles of loess that will be used in the end.
There is a small courtyard built less than half a mile below the side of the cemetery. It is the most remote location in the entire cemetery and will be the residence of the vigil keeper in the future. It will also be a place to place items for memorial services. Now it is used to accommodate Master Tonglian and his party and the main craftsmen.
There is a chrysanthemum garden built around it, and three rows of pine and cypress trees are built on the outside. There are fragrance of flowers in autumn and evergreen all year round.
