How many steps does it take for a princess to get married?

In ancient times, the emperor married a woman, not by the emperor, but by the prince with the same surname, so the daughter of the emperor was called a "princess". In the Tang Dynasty, the princess's wedding was still presided over by the prince. After the Song Dynasty, the princess was only allowed to marry the emperor, and the marriage procedures in previous dynasties were similar. There was no princess title before Chongde in Qing Dynasty, called Gege. Later, it was stipulated that the queen's daughter was called Princess Gulen and the concubine's daughter was called Princess Heshuo. As for Gege, it became a general term for daughters born under the prince. Princess Gulun is equivalent to a prince, and Princess Heshuo is equivalent to a county king. When the princess got married, her husband, as a princess, was called Gulun 'e and Heshuo 'e ... But Gulun's forehead was only equivalent to Beizi's, and Heshuo's forehead was the same as Zhenguo's. The first son born to the princess was asked to be knighted on the forehead. Princess's wedding etiquette is divided into three steps: initial ceremony, wedding ceremony and return ceremony. The initial ceremony was the princess's engagement ceremony. There will be 90 seats, 99 sheep and 45 bottles of wine on the engagement day. The emperor and the empress dowager in the palace will hold banquets for the family and their wives respectively. The wedding ceremony is the etiquette for the husband's family to marry the princess. He is going to the Wumen to pay 99 gifts, including 29 Marvin, 29 Armor, 29 Saddle, 90 Banquets, 99 Sheep (only 865,438+0) and so on. The emperor and queen gave a banquet in the palace to bid farewell to the princess, who left the palace in a sedan chair. My father married the princess outside the nave, and my mother married the princess in the inner hall, and the wedding was held at an auspicious time. On the ninth day after marriage, the princess entered the palace to salute, which was a return gift.
