The ancient saying about the princess getting married
The wedding ceremony of the princess is mainly composed of ceremonies such as referring to marriage, winning the prize, going out, tying the knot and visiting the mother. On the wedding day, the minister of Zongrenfu came to the east steps of Gan Qing Gate with a chosen forehead and announced: "Choose a princess with a person today." Uh, obedient It means that after marriage, the Hubei family chose auspicious day to pay tribute to the royal family (also known as the "September 18th ceremony"). At that time, I will send a bride price to the noon gate to show my respect. According to the example of the Qing Dynasty, before the 22nd year of Daoguang (1842), the bride price was "Yi Tuo, Ma Ba"; Later, it was changed to "Nine Sheep". On the second day after accepting talents, the emperor gave a banquet in Zhonghe Hall and Baohe Hall to entertain the Yi people and his men.
Well, first go to Cining Palace to salute the Queen Mother, then go to Baohe Hall to salute the emperor, and then go to the banquet. Play auspicious music at dinner. After the banquet, I will go to the Queen's Palace to salute the Queen. On the same day, the Empress Dowager hosted a banquet in Cining Palace to entertain the wives of the elders, and the Queen led the imperial concubines to the banquet.
The day before the surrender, the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs led the Yipai people to carry the princess's dowry to E's house, and E led his people to kneel and kowtow to the lay man at Gan Qing Gate. After the dowry is delivered, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will instruct the maid to be responsible for the display. Accompanying the dowry is the "Trial Marriage Princess" (Princess, meaning Miss Manchu). The queen mother or queen chooses the smart and beautiful one among the maids. The task is to try to get married with her forehead before the princess comes out, and to check whether there are hidden diseases and sexual life on her forehead. After the trial marriage, someone will be sent to report the inspection results to the palace. If there is no abnormality, the princess will be held as scheduled; On the contrary, it is another discussion. After the princess comes out, the space for trial marriage is generally reserved as the frontage room, and a few of them also serve as princesses. Marriage tester is a unique custom in Qing dynasty. This move is limited to the marriage of royal princesses, and all other princes and nobles are prohibited.
On the day when the princess came out, the family came to the meridian gate with the "99 gifts" prepared. The gifts are 18 pommel horse, 18 pair of armor, 2 1 horse, 6 backpacks, 90 banquet tables, 8 1 sheep, and 45 bottles of milk wine and yellow rice wine. After the ceremony, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager hosted banquets for men and women in the Hall of Supreme Harmony and Cining Palace respectively. However, from the 21st year of Daoguang (184 1), the 99-day ceremony was abolished.
The princess who is ready to go out wears auspicious clothes; When you are lucky, go first to bid farewell to the empress dowager, the emperor and the queen in turn; If you are a concubine, then salute your own concubine. Then under the guidance of the life girl, the princess boarded the palace and went to the palace. The princess was carried by a captain of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. There is a ceremonial escort in front; Subsequently, his wife Fujin and his wife Yu accompanied him off; Finally, escort riding a military school. The farewell party is very grand. After arriving at the official residence, the official father of the official residence presented a male guest in the outer hall, and the official mother presented a female guest in the central hall, accompanying the princess.
The forehead is tied in the bridal chamber. After the ceremony, everyone will retreat.
Mothering is the last ceremony of the wedding. On the 9th day after marriage, the princess entered the palace with her forehead to meet the queen mother, emperor and queen, and thanked them in turn. There will be a big banquet in the Japanese palace, which is very lively.
