Chapter 156 The Big Wedding

Yesterday my father also begged to see him - how strange.Zhuang Jingjia thought so on the road.The etiquette just now made her excitement of marrying a woman fade away, and she couldn't help but start thinking about it again on the road.After all, despite a little bit of mental maturity, she was still a fifteen-year-old child.

The father, who was as majestic as a god in his heart, and who took advantage of his parents' orders to send himself into the palace regardless of his own wishes, actually asked to see him when he saw his face.While Zhuang Jingjia was heartbroken, for some unknown reason, there was a little joy in her heart like revenge for her father.

No matter how many times she talked to the eunuchs and palace ladies around her, every time her father and mother came to him, she had to ask to see him, because this was a national gift, and it was more important than Zongli's human relations.Under such subtle influence, Zhuang Jingjia felt that the state ceremony was normal.

She recalled the look in her father's eyes yesterday, filled with excitement, reluctance, pain, and a hint of fear.When Zhuang Jingjia put on the phoenix crown, she was still thinking about what her father meant when she said that the entire capital was dressed up for her.

When Zhuang Jingjia sat on the empress' phoenix carriage after a long set of wedding ceremony was completed today, from what he saw in the crevice, he understood what his father meant by "the capital is all dressed up".

In today's capital, all the places the Queen passed by were red, because the streets that Feng Nian passed were covered with red silk; what Zhuang Jingjia saw were all colored, because everywhere his eyes could see, there were everywhere. It is colorful silk flowers inlaid on the ochre yellow enclosure.

The yellow spring willows that had just spit out, and the black locusts that were still dark, were all tied up with silk satin and colorful silk flowers.The fence did not block all the streets, the unobstructed luxury market, the walled mansions with carved beams and painted buildings, occasionally exposed from the gaps in the fence.

These places were filled with crowds watching the ceremony, all dressed in festive clothes; some placed incense flower offerings and fruits on the roadside to worship, while those who burned incense and bowed were kowtowing and chanting words in their mouths.Zhuang Jingjia didn't know what their beliefs were, but she knew that she really had no "inspiration".

The main gate of the imperial city, which can only be opened when the emperor and the empress dowager use it, is also opened for the empress today.The queen's phoenix chariot entered from the Daming Gate at the bottom of the three towers with high eaves and ridges, and went straight to the middle of the imperial road.

This imperial road is the central axis of the whole of Beijing and the central axis of all countries in the world. People walking on this imperial road can only be the men and women of all countries in the world—others have smeared one on it. Footprints, that is, committed an unforgivable sin.

After the Empress Yuli Lubo entered Daming Gate, thousands of civil and military officials dressed in court clothes and arranged shifts to greet them outside Chengtian Gate.

When the queen phoenix passed through the Daming Gate, all the bells and drum towers in Beijing rang at the same time, announcing to the world that the queen had entered the palace - and Zhuang Jingjia saw the civil and military officials kneeling on the ground in the crack of the chariot. Constantly emphasizing: "I'm already a queen, um, I'm already a queen, don't forget."

From Daming Gate, Chengtian Gate, Meridian Gate, Huangji Gate to Qianqing Gate, all the gates on the central axis of the Forbidden City have been completely opened, representing the Forbidden City welcoming the new hostess.When Empress Lu Book arrived at the bottom of the Chengtianmen gate tower, she finally stopped.

Immediately, Zhang Rong and Zhang Juzheng entered the palace city and returned to their orders on the queen's acceptance of the canonization.When the two of them went in, the queen and the bridle were left on the spot, holding the treasure official holding the book, the umbrella, fan and other honorary female musicians, and the palace servants supported the queen, and the Chengtianmen followed into the inner palace.

When Zhu Yijun heard the bell ringing in the Qianqing Palace, he knew that Zhuang Jingjia, his queen, had entered the Daming Gate.Then there was a thousand-year-old shout outside Chengtianmen, and he knew that the queen was about to enter Chengtianmen.

So, the emperor went out and descended from the eastern steps to welcome the queen in front of the Qianqing Palace.When Zhuang Jingjia's phoenix chariot arrived from the west steps, the queen got off the chariot, and the two of them bowed to each other.When Zhu Yijun looked up, Zhuang Jingjia had blush on her face, and her lips were dyed bright red, as if she wasn't as good-looking on the day of the draft - rather like a porcelain doll.

The two did not have a chance to speak at this time, and then the queen entered the inner hall to change her dress under the service of the female official; the emperor also went to his dressing room to wear a crown.

After the two of them were dressed, the two of them took the specially-made double shoulders that Zhu Yijun had previously ordered, and went to the first hall to salute.On the way, Zhu Yijun finally pulled Zhuang Jingjia's hand and said to himself, "On the wedding day, I used the shoulder to hold my hand. Feudal etiquette is really harmful." The corners of his mouth rose, and he wanted to say a few jokes to Zhuang Jingjia, but he saw the little girl's face blushing. It was like he was about to drip blood, and he was sweating nervously.

Zhu Yijun whispered, "Don't be nervous, Empress, remember? I'm optimistic about you." Zhuang Jingjia remembered the words of the emperor on the day of the draft, a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she finally relaxed.

Zhu Yijun whispered again: "I will go to worship the ancestors in a while, do you remember the regulations?" Seeing Zhuang Jingjia nodding, Zhu Yijun took out a small note from his sleeve and said, "This is a cheat sheet from me, um, there are two copies in total. , I'll give you a copy, if you can't remember it, you can take a look."

Zhuang Jingjia took the small note with the emperor's body temperature, all the hesitation and fear of being unaccompanied in his heart disappeared, and it seemed that there was a sun in his heart, dispelling the damp and cold fog.

After worshiping their ancestors, it finally came to the main event between the two-drinking wine together.When the two were in Fengxian Hall, the female officer holding the book treasure had already placed the book treasure in the Queen's Palace; the inner officer used the Queen's bridle to enter the Meridian Gate, crossed the Royal Bridge, and entered the Inner Palace through the middle right gate, and also placed it in the palace. in the Queen's Palace.

The queen's palace, just behind the Qianqing Palace and on the central axis, is called Kunning Palace.The drinking ceremony of the two of them took place in the Kunning Palace.

Zhang Hong and other internal officials set up Zhu Yijun's seat in the east and the Queen's seat in the west in the main palace. The two are facing each other, indicating that the husband and wife are basically equal.

One wine case is in the middle and slightly south, and four gold medals are placed on the case.When the emperor and the empress came back from Fengxian Hall, the maids asked Zhu Yijun and the empress to change their clothes again. This time Zhu Yijun wore leather jackets; the empress's clothes Zhu Yijun didn't know, but they looked looser.

Under the service of the inner and female officials, the two ate and drank according to the rhythm of eating two mouthfuls of food and drinking a little wine under the command of the female officials.Zhu Yijun saw Zhuang Jingjia lowered her head to eat, but was shy and didn't dare to look at herself. She wanted to say a few words to ease the atmosphere, but she was afraid that she would think that she was not solemn and would not speak.

After she was half full, the female officer took out two golden scoops—the 卺, which was made by cutting a gourd into two halves.The serving maid poured some amber-colored mead into the two scoops, and the maid first handed one to Zhu Yijun and said in a low voice, "Please, the emperor, take one sip." Zhu Yijun understood and tasted it lightly.

Then the female official handed another scoop to Zhuang Jingjia and said, "Please take only one sip, Your Highness." Zhuang Jingjia's face flushed again, and she took a sip like an emperor.

Then the female official exchanged the two's scoops and said, "Your Majesty and Your Highness please drink up."

Zhu Yijun looked at Zhuang Jingjia before drinking the wine.What he didn't expect was that the girl also raised her head with a blushing face and was looking at him - Zhu Yijun laughed and saw Zhuang Jingjia lowered her head again, he hurriedly drank the wine in the scoop.
