All Hail Cousin Brother

"You are right to think so. No matter what time, you can never make a big mistake if you are careful, and you can never make a big mistake if you are cautious." Master Servant Xiao, Yu Youyao always handles people and never goes by the facts. The girls are also cautious in nature, and Aunt Xu is still very satisfied with these girls.

Aunt Xu helped Yu Youyao change into the dress. The dress was complicated, with the inside and outside, top and bottom stacked together. There were nine layers of clothes. This was a spring and summer style.

When it comes to autumn and winter styles, you also need to add warm clothes, which can add up to twelve layers of clothing.

A few girls were holding hands at the side.

Aunt Xu quickly put the real purple harp on Yu Youyao's shoulder, changed the subject, and said: "It is a good thing to be cautious, and there is no need to be too nervous. People coming from the palace also want to see what is served. Sister, now When she is in power, no one in the entire Zhou Dynasty dares to embarrass her, as long as she is polite and thorough, no one will really care about the details."

Several girls breathed a sigh of relief thoughtfully.

After sitting down the neatly dressed Yu Youyao in front of the dressing table, Aunt Xu took off the bun on her head and combed it into a new Songshan bun. In order to express her status as a minister, she braided several knots on both sides of the bun. A braid of hair hung down on the ears and temples, and then a green crown was fixed on the top of the head.

Dongmei was dazzled by the set of movements.

Aunt Xu helped Yu Youyao put on her jewelry, looked at her outfit with a smile, and praised, "Sister, she looks really good dressed like this."

After Yu Youyao was granted the title of princess, she fled to Liaodong with the Xie Mansion. After that, although she showed off her identity as the princess, at the most solemn moment, when she went to the Yamen to hear the trial earlier, she wore a uniform and regular clothes. How can it be compared to a dress that is half as gorgeous and valuable? !

This was the first time she wore a princess's dress.

The crown dress of the princess, whether it is the etiquette or regulations, as well as the materials, color matching, embroidery, etc., is not comparable to the crown dress of the county princess.

Several maids were stunned on the spot.

Yu Youyao also thought it was beautiful. The princess's green crown was particularly dazzling. There were more than 2,000 pearls, all of equal size, shiny and moist.

There are more than 120 seven-color gems. All gems are uncarved and formed naturally. Almost every one is the size of a pigeon egg. Their color is extremely pure and very rare.

There are seven red-gold phoenixes on the green crown, which are made of filigree inlays and are the first of the eight masterpieces of Yanjing. Each phoenix is ​​vivid, holding a tassel in its mouth and moving while walking.

Because the emerald embroidery technique was not popular in the Zhou Dynasty, the emerald crown on the crown is called the emerald crown because the exquisite emerald embroidery technique on the crown is bright in color and will never fade.

The craftsmen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs used peacock feathers to create a more beautiful "Dian Cui". In fact, the peacock in the past dynasties was far more noble than the kingfisher, and the peacock's feathers were also more beautiful. ,

However, peacock feathers are very big. Not only will they shed themselves, but even if you pluck a few feathers, they will grow back quickly. They are mainly emerald green, blue and other colors, but occasionally there are purple, yellow, red and other colors at the tail end. .

According to different grades, the colors used on the green crowns are also different. For the clan, blue is the main color. The higher the grade, the darker the feathers and the more solemn they are.

Purple, yellow, red and other colors are regulated according to grade, and the dosage is also very particular.

Ordinary married women only use two colors: blue and emerald green.

And because the peacock is a lucky bird, its status is second only to the phoenix, there are regulations in the Zhou Dynasty. The peacock is a royal bird, and private breeding is not allowed. Peacock feathers are also for imperial use, and private use is not allowed. Otherwise, they will be charged with trespassing.

The "dotted green" craftsmanship on Yu Youyao's green crown is dark blue, which represents her noble status. In addition, there are yellow and purple embellishments on the peacock feathers, making it even more beautiful.

However, beauty is beautiful, but it is also really heavy.

As soon as I think that such a heavy green crown is likely to be worn frequently in the future, I feel that the green crown is not so beautiful anymore, and I immediately lose my interest in admiring it.

Aunt Xu knew her well, so she immediately smiled: "This green crown only weighs three pounds and six taels. The crown on the Queen Mother's head, with dragon and phoenix twelve phoenixes, has more than 4,000 pearls alone." There are more than 160 gemstones of various colors, weighing four kilograms and nine taels."

Even the Queen's Nine Dragons and Nine Phoenixes crown weighs four kilograms and six taels.

Yu Youyao was immediately stunned. How did the Queen Mother do it at such an old age? Wearing such a heavy phoenix crown, she could still keep her face straight and deal with the women in the palace?

Thinking about it makes me feel terrible: "I feel it. If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. The crown is made so heavy. I think it is also to warn the wives inside and outside."

"That's the truth." Aunt Xu nodded with a smile, and simply put on makeup for Yu Youyao. Without messing with the powder, she carefully drew her eyebrows and smudged some gold powder around her eyes to show her nobility.

After all the troubles were over, Aunt Xu looked at her carefully for a moment and said, "Bring me the palace ribbon that the Empress Dowager gave her a few years ago."

Dongmei quickly took the palace ribbon from the secret compartment under the dressing table.

Aunt Xu took the palace ribbon and tied it on the colorful silk ribbon around Yu Youyao's waist. She nodded and said with a smile, "That's it, it's all right."

Yu Youyao took Chunxiao and Xia Tao to the front hall together.

At this time, Mrs. Xie got the news and rushed to Yuyuan with her three daughters-in-law, all dressed up, and was waiting in the front hall.

Seeing Yu Youyao dressed in a royal uniform, the three of them were stunned, obviously very shocked.

Until Yu Youyao stepped forward, held the old lady's arm, and called softly: "Grandma."

Only then did Mrs. Xie react. She patted her arm and said with an angry smile: "This is the first time for our little girl to wear the princess's makeup. Leng Buding is really shocked."

The second aunt, Mrs. Lin, calmed down and said, "The princess's uniform is so elegant. At first glance, I don't even know where to put it, and my heart is pounding."

Third Aunt Wen also laughed: "Princess Shaoyi's uniform is the highest standard for women in the clan, and it is only a rule for the princess of the dynasty. Of course it is elegant!"

"Yi" has always represented the queen mother or empress. In a certain sense, it also means "direct lineage". The importance of the word "Yicong" can be imagined.

My eldest aunt Wang laughed and said: "Our little Yao'er is a lucky one. Looking at the entire Zhou Dynasty, except for Princess Lishan in the palace, who can compete with our little Yao'er in terms of status, there is no one who is better than us. Little Yao'er, I want a noble daughter's family."

The princess's crown and robe are both noble and solemn. From the inside to the outside, they reveal the exquisiteness and thickness of the ingenious craftsmanship, and the majestic majesty of the superior.

The dress is also inlaid with many pearls and jade of equal sizes, as well as precious stones of various colors. There are thousands of them. At first glance, it just feels like pearls and jewels, which is dazzling.
