    , I

    The crown princess has no titles at all, one is the main concubine, and the rest are side concubines.

    Concubine Jiang Yuan, the daughter of a farmer.

    Side concubine Qiao Wuhua, the daughter of the third-rank minister.

    Side concubine Zhu Junmo, the daughter of a county middle school teacher.

    Side concubine Li Ruosu, the daughter of a general of the Datong Army.

    From the backgrounds of the four princesses and concubines, it can be seen that the concubines of the new dynasty do not recognize their backgrounds at all.

    Unlike the Han and Tang Dynasties, they only select prominent families.

    Unlike the Ming Dynasty, most of them came from small families.

    It's more like the Song Dynasty. It's okay for a lady with a noble stomach, or a jade jade from a small family, it all depends on the emperor's preference.  The most outrageous thing is Liu E, who first married a silversmith as his wife. The couple pretended to be brother and sister, and the husband dedicated his wife to the prince.  Boiled the princess and queen to death, and finally became the queen herself, and her ex-husband can still be reused by the emperor.

    Of course, the queens of the Song Dynasty were still mainly the daughters of high officials.

    The prince was obviously unhappy when he heard the news.  His ideal concubine is Zhu Junmo, who usually communicates once every ten days, at least three love letters a month.

    But the resistance was ineffective, and the emperor had already made a decision.

    The next step is the three matchmakers and the six engagements. The ceremony still has to go, but the prince will definitely not come out of the palace to welcome his relatives in person.

    The customary cost of an emperor's wedding in the Ming Dynasty was three to four hundred thousand taels of silver.

    Like when Zhu Houzhao got married, the budget given by the household department was 300,000 taels.  As a result, during the actual operation, the budget was steadily increasing, and more than 500,000 taels of silver were needed, plus more than 8,000 taels of gold.  This must have been cheated by the eunuch, who took the opportunity to fill his own pocket, but the Ministry of Household Affairs resolutely refused to give the money, so the supervisor of ceremonies and the cabinet went back and forth.

    ? In the end, the two parties reached a compromise, and the wedding was settled with 400,000 taels of silver. Who would let Zhu Houzhao become a father who can spend money.

    For the royal wedding in the new dynasty of Datong, the royal finances were directly withdrawn from the bank, without having to discuss with the court how to use the money.  So the civil servants didn't care anymore, they wished that the wedding would be grander, so as to show the majesty and bearing of the imperial court even more.

    The wedding budget that Zhao Han finalized was only 150,000 taels of silver.

    Giving gifts to the natal families of the four crowned concubines cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, which is considered rather shabby and stingy.

    Like the grand wedding of the emperor in the Qing Dynasty, that is really a big deal.  Not counting the betrothal gifts, the gifts to the empress's family included three hundred taels of gold, fifteen thousand taels of silver, countless gold and silver artifacts, silk and satin, dozens of horses with matching saddles, etc.  There are court clothes, mink fur, pearls and so on.  There is also a banquet at the natal family, the unit is "hundred tables", and the unit of sheep and wine is also "hundred".

    Zhao Han was very unbalanced. When he married Fei Rulan, he didn't give a tael of silver; when he married Pan Qimei, he only gave him food, firewood, livestock and other ordinary things.  Now that my son is getting married, he has to spend so much gift money.

    After two or three months of preparations, the wedding finally took place.

    The whole city is decorated with lanterns and festoons, some of which are paid by the royal family. Lanterns and silks are hung at the door of the people's homes, and they will be given to the corresponding people afterwards.  Some shops are arranged spontaneously, making it more festive, and doing business while the prince is getting married.

    The three side concubines can only enter through the side door.

    Sitting on a phoenix chariot, the concubine went straight to Chengtian Gate and Yingmin Gate, where all civil and military officials greeted her.

    After the welcoming team left, all the officials also dispersed. They had a day off and all had dinner, and the crown prince treated them to guests.

    Prince Zhao Kuanghuan stood on the east steps of the East Palace, his face was not very happy, and he was still getting into trouble because of the concubine.

    Walking to the west steps of the East Palace, the Crown Princess got off the phoenix chariot.

    Although Zhao Kuanghuan was upset, he still had to do what he had to do. He bowed to the princess and welcomed her into his East Palace.

    As for the three side concubines, they were all carried to the side courtyard, and they will definitely not see the prince today.

    bridal chamber festivities, the couple sits stiffly.

    Jiang Yuan sat on the edge of the bed, feeling more and more anxious.  She could feel that the prince was very indifferent to her, which was like pouring cold water on her.

    "It's getting late, let's rest." The prince actually fell asleep without taking off his coat.

    Jiang Yuan had no choice but to remove the Fengguan Xiapei by himself, and curled up beside the prince.  Just as she was about to see the prince's face clearly, the prince had turned over and turned his back to her.

    Jiang Yuan had nothing to say: "What does the prince like?"

    Zhao Kuanghuan didn't speak.

    Jiang Yuan said again: "I can also compose poetry."

    Zhao Kuanghuan was silent.

    Jiang Yuan continued: "I have also read "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", but I haven't finished it."

    Zhao Kuanghuan was silent.

    "I" Jiang Yuan thought carefully, hoping to find out the prince's interest.

    ? Zhao Kuanghuan seems to have someIt's more like a lady from a big family.

    Well, more free and easy than a lady, after all, she dares to copy a knife and pig.

    Thinking of this, Zhao Kuanghuan subconsciously clamped his legs.

    After thinking about it, Zhao Kuanghuan said: "My mother likes poetry, and often weaves by hand."

    Jiang Yuan understood, and said happily: "I will learn how to spin and weave."

    Zhao Kuanghuan asked again: "Why are you pigtailing?"

    Jiang Yuan picked up the quickie and gestured: "Press there, the piggy's balls will bulge into a bag, look at it with a small knife, and then squeeze it a little bit harder, the piggy's balls will come out, and then swing the knife to smash the balls."  Cut it off!"

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    Zhao Kuanghuan was finally amused to laugh out loud when he thought of the scene of the beautiful young piggy.

    Zhao Kuanghuan asked again: "Do you still know how to raise pigs?"

    Jiang Yuan said: "Pigs are very smart, not as stupid as everyone says. My pigs often eat distiller's grains, get drunk just like humans, and even blush when drunk. Black pigs can't tell when they blush, but flowery pigs can.  Come out."

    Zhao Kuanghuan continued: "I heard that cotton is grown in many places in Shandong."

    Jiang Yuan said: "There are relatively few cotton growers over there, but there are also"

    A new couple chatted while eating, and rolled onto the bed after chatting.
