Being a princess in a world with more men than women

"Feng Qing, do I have to go to the wedding hall once to marry a husband?"

If that's the case, marrying ten husbands, being a bride ten times? Going to the wedding ceremony ten times? She would either be bored to death or exhausted to death.

Because the marriage ceremony here is extremely complicated, in addition to the three matchmakers, there are also a series of procedures such as six engagements. Especially the ceremony of marrying the husband, it has to be prepared several months in advance and is extremely grand.

This is also why Xu Yan wanted to have a grandchild so much, and wanted to set the wedding date for Xu Yuexi and Tang Liuqing a few months later.

"No, marrying a husband is different from marrying a concubine..."

Then Tang Liuqing began to introduce it to Xu Yuexi in detail.

After listening to Tang Liuqing's explanation, Xu Yuexi understood that the principle of a woman marrying a principal husband and a concubine was the same as that of a man marrying a principal wife and a concubine. Even the marriage process was surprisingly similar.

When a woman marries a husband, just like a man marries a wife, they all follow the "six rites", namely, Nacai, Wenming, Naji, Nazheng, Qingqi, and Qinying. However, during Qinying, the man still goes to the woman's house to pick up the bride, then worships in the hall and enters the bridal chamber.

It may seem like there are only a few steps, but each step has corresponding etiquette and is extremely particular. There cannot be any mistakes, otherwise the marriage may not take place.

In Douqi Continent, after a woman gets married, she lives with her husband (in her husband's house).

When a woman marries a concubine, all matters will be handled by her principal husband.

After the principal husband and the concubine husband have discussed the above five rites and decided on an auspicious date, the concubine husband will host a banquet at home on the determined auspicious date.

When the auspicious time comes, Zhengfu will send a wedding party to welcome him to the yard specially prepared for him by Zhengfu's family.

At night the woman would go to the bridal chamber with him. After the night, the concubine would offer tea to the main husband the next day.

The concubine can only stay at the husband's house for five days. After five days, the concubine can return to his own home. Whether he can capture the wife's heart during these five days depends on his own ability.

No wonder these men are proficient in all kinds of skills; they are forced to do so by the cruel reality!

Of course, there are also concubines who win the favor of their wives and live in their husbands' homes.

As a concubine living in the house of the main husband, he is not on an equal footing with the main husband. He cannot control the financial power in the mansion. All his expenses must be approved by the main husband, and he has to respect the main husband.

However, there are very few such concubines. After all, any man who can get married is a first-class excellent man. He has his own pride. It is good enough to maintain superficial peace with his main husband. Don't think about anything else.

Xu Yuexi sighed. It was not easy to be a woman in this world, but she didn't expect that being a man was even more difficult.

Everyone has their own difficulties and troubles!

"But no matter how complicated the process is, Xi'er, don't worry. You just need to wait patiently to become my bride. The emperor and I will arrange everything else."

Because women are rare, generally speaking they don't have to worry about anything and just need to cooperate.

The only hardship is that on the wedding day, the bride needs to get up early, put on makeup and change clothes, then ride in the bridal sedan and worship in the hall. Since no one can do these things for her, the bride has to do them herself.

"It's just that I might be very busy in the few months before the wedding and won't be able to accompany you every day. Xier, please don't be angry with me." Tang Liuqing said.

"Feng Qing, I understand that this brief separation is for our long-term companionship in the future. I will wait for you.

By the way, you have to attend court on weekdays to attend to official duties, so do you need my help to embroider your wedding dress? "

"Xi'er can even do this?"

"Of course, I learned it during those ten years. Feng Qing, do you want my help?"

"This is a time-consuming and eye-straining job. I can't bear to let Xi'er suffer."

"Why would I be tired? Don't I have to embroider my own wedding dress?"

"No, Xi'er, your wedding dress was embroidered by a special palace embroiderer. These tiring jobs are done by us men. You are a woman, and a princess. You just need to be happy every day."

Xu Yuexi now somewhat understands Li Xueli's "waste" mood.

You are not allowed to do anything every day, and you have a bunch of people serving you. You eat and sleep, and then eat, and you have to be happy. You will either become a waste or a lunatic!
