Wanli Xinming

Chapter 155 The Big Wedding

On the ninth day of March in the fifth year of Wanli, just after the fourth watch, the brightly lit Forbidden City was already full of people, and it was very lively.

Zhu Yijun, who was wearing a full dress, first went to the Fengxian Hall to pay homage to the ancestors.Afterwards, they went to the Ciqing Palace of the Empress Dowager Rensheng on the east side of the Forbidden City and the Cining Palace of the Empress Dowager Cisheng on the west side, respectively, to report the matter of marrying a daughter-in-law today.

When Zhu Yijun visited the Empress Dowager Rensheng in Ciqing Palace, he met Princess Leping who was adopted by the empress dowager.The princess has lived in the palace for more than a year, and has become a little beauty. When she met Zhu Yijun, she saluted him to congratulate him.Zhu Yijun saw her look at him with joy, and guessed that she had been living a good life recently.

Afterwards, Zhu Yijun Yuhuangji Palace.Zhonghe Shaole is located in front of the hall, and Danbi Dale is located in the hall.The legal book and the queen's guard of honor are fully furnished.Honglu Temple set up the book case section, case book, case book and treasure case in front of the throne.The gift of Chen from the Ministry of Rites is presented to His Majesty Dan.

The emperor passed the system, and still sent the British public Zhang Rong and Zhang Juzheng.The word cloud: "Zhuang Jingjia, the daughter of Zhuang Yunchang, the commander of Jinyiwei, is hereby named as the empress. The Qing and others are ordered to hold the festival book treasures and perform the welcome ceremony."

The compliment officer praised: Congratulations!All the princes, nobles, civil and military officials in the world all wore auspicious clothes, and happily bowed to the emperor three times and five times.

The celebrant signaled that the ceremony was over, and the ministers got up.The festival held by Zhang Rong, the envoy, and the book-making treasure of the queen were all covered with umbrellas, and they went out first from the middle door.

The inner officials and deacons carried gifts and followed the umbrella cover, and the chief and deputy envoys followed, and more than a thousand people went straight to the former Zhuang Mansion - which has been renovated many times according to the instructions of the inner officials, and has been renamed the Queen's House.

In the Queen's House, on the [-]th day of the third month, the main and deputy ambassadors were set up outside the gate to the south - similar to a tent, with tables and chairs for the envoys to drink water and change clothes.At the same time, there are three table cases surrounded by yellow tables, namely the making case, the festival case and the book treasure case, at the entrance of the main hall inside the gate.

When Zhang Rong and Zhang Juzheng arrived, they first took out festivals, books, and book treasures from the colorful pavilion under the umbrella, and then entered the curtain to rest for a while.

The female officials and wives around Queen Mother Li entered the right side of the central hall with the queen's jewelry and the nine-dragon and four-phoenix crowns, and entered the back hall from here; the internal officials displayed the queen's honor guards, chariots and other items inside the gate.When the guards of honor were neatly arranged, Zhang Rong and Zhang Juzheng came out of the act and entered the queen's house.

Lang Wanshi, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and the ceremonial officer who served this time greeted Zhuang Yunchang and other makers who were welcoming them up and down: "After the booklet is made, send envoys to hold the treasures for festivals, perform the greeting ceremony, and kneel to welcome." They all knelt on the red felt in front of the main hall.

The Minister of Rites, Lu Shusheng and Zhang Jing, acted as the main marriage envoys, signalling the deacon to lift the big case placed at the door and move forward.Zhang Rong and Zhang Juzheng followed behind the big case being carried away, and Lu Shusheng and Zhang Jing followed at the end.

After entering the main hall, the festival table is placed at the northernmost position, which is assigned to make the table, and the southernmost is the book treasure table.

Zhang Rong put the festival in the festival case, Zhang Juzheng put the book making in the case making, and then put the book treasure in the book treasure case.Then Zhang Rong stood on the left side of the case, Zhang Juzheng stood on the right side of the case, facing each other.At this time, Zhang Hong and Chen Ju, the head of the Sili Supervisor, came out of the central hall, and accepted the book-making and book-making on behalf of the queen.

At this time, the female official who entered the back hall from the right side of the main hall had already served Zhuang Jingjia to put on the queen's crown and finished the dress.Ever since Empress Dowager Li's decree to choose Zhuang Jingjia as the queen was issued, she has no personal servants around her - all servants are separated by eunuchs and palace wives sent by the inner palace, and her parents see their daughters and ask for them. with the permission of these people.

Of course, those who came to serve also knew that this person who was about to become the lord of the harem, who was only under the queen dowager of the two palaces, had the courage to act majestic and embarrassing.Everyone just follows the etiquette system, so that the "quasi-empress" cannot have contact with unrelated people.

Zhuang Jingjia has been living in a dream since the Queen Mother's decree, as if she is no longer herself.

The 14-year-old cardamom girl, when she was in Huaichun, also imagined what her "beautiful man" would look like-a suave, handsome and tall boy, and a talented scholar who has read poetry and books; Still an infatuated seed, neither takes concubines nor steals maidservants, only loves herself.

Zhuang Jingjia thought madly, comparing the emperor with these three standards, none of them could match.He is only medium in stature, with narrow eyes. Except when he looks at himself with a straight face, he looks a little dignified and cannot be called handsome; although he knows that his name comes from the Book of Songs, he once heard from his father that he hates Hanlin the most, and he himself Never wrote poetry; as for the last one, now that I think about it, it's a joke.

However, this man is after all—after all, the emperor.Thinking of this, Zhuang Jingjia felt hot all over, and felt dizzy in her head.From the ninth day of March, she will be the hostess of all the people in the world. She is only fifteen years old now, and on the 28th of this month, she will only have her fourteenth birthday.

While thinking about it, I suddenly heard loud music in the main hall in front of me.A female official said, "Zhangyin, the supervisor of the ceremonies, and Eunuch Chen have received the festival and the book treasure." Sure enough, before a cup of tea, the two officials led Zhang Hong and Chen Ju, who were holding the festival and the book treasure, into the central hall, and they Each of them is placed on the two incense cases in the central hall.

Zhuang Jingjia hurriedly recalled in her mind the etiquette she had been practicing for the past few days. With the support of a group of female officials and palace servants, she walked from the back hall to the middle hall and stood in front of the incense table.

Zhang Hong and Chen Ju first knelt down and made four salutations.Then the two stood up, and Zhang Hong said, "Pamphlet."Chen Ju said, "The queen kneels to pick it up."

Zhuang Jingjia knelt down and Zhang Hong read the Queen's Book of Treasures.It is just to praise Zhuang Jingjia for being virtuous, gentle, and outstanding in virtue. Now he has been ordered by his mother to be the queen.

When he finished reading, Chen Ju said, "The queen will receive the book." Zhang Hong awarded the queen book to Zhuang Jingjia, Zhuang Jingjia took it, and passed it on to the female officer beside him for storage.Then Chen Ju praised: "The queen receives the treasure." Zhang Hong took the queen's seal and gave it to Zhuang Jingjia, who still passed it on to the female officer, who knelt down to receive it.

In the end, Chen Ju praised: "The queen shovels Gui".So Zhang Hong gave Queen Bai Yugui a handle, Zhuang Jingjia took it up, held it with both hands, and placed it in front of his chest.Zhang Hong and Chen Ju immediately knelt down and bowed after four salutations.

Then Zhuang Jingjia still turned into the back hall, while Zhang Hong and Chen Ju walked to the main hall and reported to Zhang Rong and Zhang Juzheng that the queen received the book treasure ceremony.Then, the relevant people in the main hall waited for a pass and kowtowed, and then reported the ceremony.

These are all busy, and everyone's last job in the queen's first is to pick up the queen.So, under the restraint of the Slijian's attache, the Queen's Guard of Honor Lour Book began to assemble the team.

Since Zhuang Jingjia had already received the Queen's Book and Treasure, Zhang Rong and Zhang Juzheng knelt down, and the female official went to the back hall and asked the Queen to wear the crown.

With the lead of the female musician and the support of the palace staff, Zhuang Jingjia walked from the back hall to the east side of the main hall and down to the front of the book incense case in the main hall.

The inner deacon praised: Bye!Zhuang Jingjia completed four salutations.Then he ascended the hall, stood in front of the incense table, and turned to the south.

Lu Shusheng and Zhang Jing stood facing east and west in front of the queen, and Lu Shusheng praised them and said, "Respect them. Su Ye will not disobey orders!" After four salutations, the two left the main hall.

Afterwards, the queen's father and mother entered and stood to the west and east of the queen.Zhuang Jingjia's mother put the multicolored silk rope and matching scarf on Zhuang Jingjia's body, and her father Zhuang Yun said: "Mianzhi and respect.

Zhuang Jingjia held back her tears and did not dare to look at her parents who were retreating on the steps on the west side.Chen Ju gestured, the attendants and female officials were surrounded, the big music was played, and the queen was promoted.

In honor of the guard of honor and great joy, the empress drove in the middle, accompanied by the envoys and deputy ambassadors—walking towards the Miyagi that Zhuang Jingjia could never leave in her life.

　Change it first and then change it, or else you will be in a hurry.
