Prince of Chaos

Chapter 217 The Crown Prince's Wedding

There is a saying in the Zhou etiquette that there are six etiquettes when getting married.

Said: "Na Cai, ask the name, Na Ji, Na Zheng, ask for a date, personally welcome."

Even the grand marriage of the emperor is no exception, and it will be more complicated.

Therefore, the crown prince's wedding should be the same.

However, even so, royal weddings are still extremely complicated compared to common people's weddings.

The wedding of the common people's family pays attention to dignity and excitement.

The joy of the royal family emphasizes the majesty and dignity of the royal family.

For example, when the common people's family performs the six rituals, the husband's family also solemnly arranges a matchmaker to come to the wife's house to accept the lottery, ask the text, accept the auspiciousness, accept the levy, and ask for a date.When it comes to the critical wedding ceremony, the groom has to go out in person.

But that's not the case with royal weddings, especially the marriage of the emperor and the crown prince.

According to the Ming system, the crown prince's grand wedding is like the emperor's grand wedding ceremony. All the rituals are performed by envoys, and there is no need to greet them in person.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo's grand wedding will still be carried out according to the ancestral system.

When accepting Cai and asking for names, Emperor Wanli also sent a noble duke of the noble state or a respected cabinet chief assistant as a ceremonial officer to the princess's home to accept the lottery and ask about the article.

At this time, the first assistant, Shen Shixing, had already recuperated at home behind closed doors. Although the second assistant, Wang Xijue, was temporarily designated as the head of the cabinet by Emperor Wanli, Emperor Wanli still did not give Wang Xijue the key ranking order. Therefore, in name, Wang Xijue was still the second assistant. , is not qualified to be the ceremonial officer for the crown prince's wedding.

Therefore, Emperor Wanli decreed that Cheng Guogong and Ding Guogong, two respected state officials, would go to the crown princess's house to accept the lottery and ask for the gift of name.

Its purpose is as follows:
"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the system says: Fengzhi accepts Shangguan's daughter as the crown prince concubine, and orders Qingcheng Chengguo Gong Zhu Dingchen and Dingguo Gong Xu Wenbi to perform the ceremony of accepting and asking. I respect this."

After receiving the glorious and sacred decree from Emperor Wanli, the two princes immediately led a grand royal guard of honor and dressed up to the official residence of the Zhending Mansion.

Today's Shangguan family can't help raising their family status because of their daughter being selected as the crown princess. Now no one dares to underestimate this Shangguan Bao who is only a ninth-rank sesame official.

Shangguanbao had been waiting eagerly in front of his house for the imperial concubine, asking for honor guards to come.

When Cheng Guogong and Ding Guogong arrived in front of Shangguan's house, Shangguan Bao immediately led the whole family out to kneel down to welcome Emperor Wanli's will.

After welcoming the order, the rest of the process was handed over to the etiquette officer of the Ministry of Rites.

As the bridesmaid of the crown princess's family, Fan Qian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, came out of the mansion, then bowed slightly in front of Cheng Guogong and Ding Guogong, and then asked according to the etiquette system: "Dare to ask for something."

After Fan Qian's questioning, Duke Dingguo replied as the chief ceremony officer, "Accepting a concubine in the palace belongs to Lingde. The state has a regular code, so that Zhu Dingchen, Duke of Cheng, and Xu Wenbi, Duke of Ding, will perform the ceremony of acceptance."

After Fan Qian got Ding Guogong's reply, he entered the mansion, and then spoke back to the officiant.

The officiant said: "The son of the minister Shangguanbao is ignorant of the etiquette and is not ready for selection. Respectful and orderly, the minister Shangguanbao dare not resign."

Then, as the bridesmaid, Fan Qian went out to tell the messenger.

At this time, Cheng Guogong and Ding Guogong began to move the dowry gifts prepared by Emperor Wanli into the Shangguan Baofu courtyard for display.

Then, began to announce the decree: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, said: "Here is a holy order, send envoys to tell it.Erjia Erxin, virtuous and tolerant, selected according to the imperial edict, is the beauty of adults. "

After the ceremony of laying geese at this link, the envoys will come out.

The bridesmaid, Fan Qianfu, addressed the envoy Cheng Guogong and Ding Guogong, and said: "Dare to ask for something."

Ding Guogong continued to reply in accordance with the procedure: "The match for the palace, the selection is harmonious. I will add divination and ask for the name according to the system."

Fan Qian went back in and told the officiant.

The officiant said: "The daughter of the minister's Shangguan family can serve the prince's palace, and the minister dare not resign."

Fan Qian, the bridesmaid, issued a notice.

The envoy became the Duke of the State and decided that the Duke of the State would come back in. Chen Li laid out the geese like a ceremony, and announced the system: "I will ask for the name according to the imperial edict, and I will seek various divinations."

The officiant said: "The minister Shangguan protects the daughter of the concubine, and the Guo family comes out."

In this way, the ceremony of accepting the lottery and asking for the name is considered complete.

However, this matter is not over yet, and Najib is the next step.

Fan Qian would continue to ask Cheng Guogong Ding Guogong, "Dare to ask for a favor."

Dingguo Gongdao: "Assess all the divinations, and they occupy the Xie, make Zhu Dingchen, the Duke of Cheng, and Xu Wenbi, the Duke of Dingguo, tell the auspiciousness."

Fan Qian entered it again and told the officiant.

The officiant replied: "The son of Shangguan's family is stupid, and he is afraid of Fuke. Divination is auspicious, but fortunately, I would like to follow the rules."

Fan Qian once again told the messenger.

When the envoy entered his mansion again, Chen Li laid a ceremony with wild geese like a ceremony, and announced the system, saying: "By the system, I will tell you good luck."

At this point, the Najib process is considered complete.

Then there is the gift of acceptance.

The bridesmaid, Fan Qian, continued to proclaim that the emissary brought in Chen Yubo as a gift, and did not lay down geese, and then declared: "The order is complete."

At this point, the ceremony is over.

Then we have to continue with the ceremony of asking for a period.

The ceremony of requesting a date is to report the date of the wedding. In fact, the date of the wedding has already been set.The current ceremony is nothing more than a complicated and indispensable process.

Ding Guogong said according to the established lines: "Inquire about the tortoise divination. August 24th in the [-]th year of Wanli is auspicious, and the emissary's notice date."

The officiant said: "Dare not to accept your order."

Then, Chen Li laid down the wild goose like a ceremony.

At this point, five of the six rituals are officially over.

Then I waited for Emperor Wanli to send an envoy to sue the temple.

The etiquette of suing the temple is that the emperor sends people to the Taimiao to report to the ancestors that the country will continue and the crown prince is going to get married.

After this set of rituals, it is the ritual precept.

When offering sacrifices, the Emperor Wanli would be dressed in full costume, wearing a Tongtian crown and a crimson gauze robe.Then sit upright on the Huangji Hall, and all the officials are arranged in order.

Then the ceremonial officer guided the Crown Prince Zhu Changluo to the Emperor Dan in the Huangji Palace to perform four prostrations.

Then, go to the east gate of the hall and sit down.

Then the ceremonial officer entered with a cup, and Zhu Changluo knelt to meet him, picked Guigui, and then received a cup of sacrificial wine.

The ceremonial official brought in the food, but Zhu Changluo still knelt down to receive it, just like receiving a lamp.

After the ceremony, the crown prince was happy, and then sat down at the table, pretending to drink and eat these food props, and then, under the guidance of the ceremony officer, went to bow down in front of Emperor Wanli again.

At this time, Emperor Wanli would also rehearse his lines in advance.

Emperor Wanli said: "Go to greet you, inherit my family affairs, and respect you as commander-in-chief."

Zhu Changluo also had corresponding lines, and Zhu Changluo replied: "My son, Chang Luo, would like to obey the order."

Then, prostrate yourself and prosper.Retired to Danbi, and then bowed four times to Emperor Wanli.After the ceremony is over.

Emperor Wanli returned to the palace, and Zhu Changluo came out of the Huangji Palace to welcome his relatives.

At this point, all the preparations before the wedding are completed.

After this time, the crown prince's wedding process began to reach its climax.

After the day of August [-]th, all the officials in Ciqing Palace wore court clothes Chen Lubo and preached outside the gate of Ciqing Palace.

Then in such a lively scene, Zhu Changluo also wore a full set of crown clothes and rode out on Longyu, followed by guards of honor.At the gate of the palace, Zhu Changluo will get off Long Yu and transfer to Da Ren.

However, at this time, Zhu Changluo would not go to greet the Crown Princess in person, and the rest of the work would be handed over to the officials to welcome the Crown Princess into the palace at the Crown Princess's home.

The crown princess will also be dressed in full costumes, and she will come to the palace with her big dress in a ruthless Zhai Huachai.

When the guard of honor for the concubine's wedding arrived at the gate of the palace, Zhu Changluo would come out again like a tool man, accept the mercy of the ceremony officer, and complete all the following etiquette procedures until the wedding ceremony.
