I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 237 Queen (please subscribe)

The most solemn ceremony in the emperor's wedding is the registration ceremony.

This is actually two consecutive rituals. First, an envoy is sent to canonize the queen, and then the queen is brought into the Forbidden City to worship heaven and earth to get married.

On March [-]th, the entire Forbidden City was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and it was full of joy.

Zhu Youxiao was also arranged to put on grand and luxurious crown clothes early and took his seat in front of the main hall of the Qianqing Palace. An imperial table was placed in front of him, on which were placed the brochures of making plans, making plans, and lubo (the honor guard booklet for the emperor's wedding). ), there is a gold seal in the middle, and here is the queen's seal.

The steps of the square were piled with congratulatory gifts sent to the emperor by officials from all over the country. Although Zhu Youxiao had told him to keep everything simple, local officials still cared about this opportunity to show their loyalty and could not seize it in time.

An army of sixth-rank and above officials from the capital, headed by Liu Yishen, Shen Guan and other cabinet ministers, came to the square outside the Qianqing Palace and waited for the emperor's order.The Han generals stood on both sides of the square, holding high flags and canopies as a sign of ceremony.

"Kowtow!"

"Two kowtows!"

······
Amidst the shouts of the ceremonial officer, Liu Yishui and other courtiers kowtowed to the emperor four times. Then the envoys went up the steps and saluted again, took the case-making case handed over from the case, held it in their hands, and held it in their hands. The Queen's Seal was solemnly placed in the treasure box, and she walked out of the hall with the halogen in hand.

Outside the Qianqing Palace Square, the conferring and welcoming team had been preparing for a long time. When they saw the chief and deputy envoys arriving, they immediately set up the wedding sedan chair, raised the canopy and colorful flags, and headed for the Zhang Mansion under the protection of the guards.

The biggest difference between the emperor's wedding and the common people's wedding is that after the common people hold the pre-wedding ceremony, the groom must go to the bride's house in person to marry the bride, so this ceremony is called the "in-person wedding ceremony".

Zhu Youxiao is the emperor, and it is absolutely impossible for him to condescend to greet him, so envoys must be ordered to greet him. Zhu Youxiao only needs to wait in the palace.

The conferring troops set off from the Qianqing Palace Square and headed towards Zhang's residence. The people in the capital were waiting for this day and rushed to the streets to see what the emperor's wedding would be like.

Now that we have just finished the National Examination, candidates from all over the country are still waiting for the results to be released. We take this opportunity to join in the fun and see the grand occasion, how lively it is.

In the Zhang Mansion, Zhang Guoji and others were still waiting anxiously. He was a little overwhelmed by this unexpected gesture. Fortunately, the palace sent people over early to arrange the arrangements and told them what to do, which made him feel relieved. Come down.

"Here we come, the canonization team is here."

Suddenly there was a burst of shouting outside the house, and the sound of ritual music was getting closer and closer. The team welcoming the bride from the palace arrived, and Zhang Guoji and others hurriedly greeted them.

The chief and deputy envoys entered the door first and placed the books and treasures on the incense table in the main hall. The female officials in the palace entered later, but did not stop in the main hall. Instead, they directly carried the queen's jewelry and robes into the middle hall to serve Zhang Yan and put on the queen's robes. apparel.

After a while, Zhang Yan, who was already dressed, wore a crown of nine dragons and four phoenixes on her head, a red hijab, a large red coat, a Xiapei, a long red skirt, a red mantle, and a special bun with dragon and phoenix ornaments on her head. Embroidered with gold dragon and phoenix patterns, surrounded by female officials, she walked out elegantly.

Although she wore a red hijab, it did not affect her graceful appearance and elegant demeanor at all. Everyone's eyes were attracted to her and they bowed and saluted.

With the support of the female officer, Zhang Yan slowly walked to the incense table in the main hall.

Upon seeing this, the palace envoy stepped forward, bowed to Zhang Yan four times, and then shouted:
"Xiangfu Zhang listens to the announcement!"

At this time, everyone present knelt down and listened to the decree of canonizing Zhang Yan as queen.

"I only know the origin of heaven and earth. The beginning of my career must depend on the success of Kun, the transformation of the family and the state, and the constant support of external governance by internal duties. It should be matched according to the compatibility, and it is appropriate to be in the right position to hold honor.

Zi'er Xiangfu Zhang family has inherited Ming's destiny in the past, is pious and respectful, gentle and virtuous, elegant and dignified.The four religions were propagated in the palace, and the mother's rituals were allowed to be harmonized in the world.

Because I have given you a treasure book and established you as the queen, you must be respectful and sincere in your honor, be benevolent, be diligent and thrifty, and abide by the common sacrifices. "

"Long live my emperor."

Then the palace envoy immediately handed over the imperial edict of canonization and the Queen's Treasure to the female officer behind Zhang Yan, and the canonization ceremony ended.

From then on, Zhang Yan was the new queen of the Ming Dynasty.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yan's father Zhang Guoji was canonized, and he was named Tongzhi and Taikang Bo of the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yan, who was already a queen, left the Zhang Mansion and boarded the caiyu surrounded by everyone. The attendants supported the guards and set off for the Forbidden City with ceremonial guards, great music, and lubinruyi.

At this time, all the civil and military officials had already lined up to greet the queen outside Chengtian Gate. When they saw the queen's chariot arriving, everyone knelt down to greet the queen and congratulate her on entering the palace.

Zhang Yan sat on Caiyu and arrived at the steps of Fengtian Palace. Then, guided by the female officer, she slowly walked towards the steps of Fengtian Palace.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao was waiting on the steps. Looking at the queen who was slowly approaching surrounded by everyone, he also followed the etiquette, descended the steps to greet her, and walked slowly to Zhang Yan.

At this time, the female officer who was helping Zhang Yan up the steps stepped back. Zhu Youxiao also slowly held Zhang Yan's nervous and sweaty hand and helped her slowly walk up the steps.

"Be careful, don't be nervous." Zhang Yan was shocked when she suddenly heard these words, her heart was racing, she forced herself to calm down, and slowly climbed up the steps of Fengxian Hall with Zhu Youxiao's help.

Sacrifice such as sacrifices, wine, and silk had already been laid out. Under the guidance of the etiquette officer, the two of them worshiped one after another to show etiquette.

After the two people paid their respects, the throne was immediately moved over. Zhang Yan also sat on the queen's seat on the lower right side of Zhu Youxiao, receiving the kneeling greetings from all the officials.

At this time, the princes, nobles and civil servants of the court were also guided into Chengtian Gate and stood in the square outside Fengxian Hall.

"Hey!"

"I congratulate you on the long live the emperor and the queen on the thousand lives."

"Ai Qing is alive!"

Looking at the crowd of people below, Zhu Youxiao suddenly thought of the scene when he met with ministers and officials at Fengtianmen when he ascended the throne. At that time, he had just traveled through time and was full of anxiety about the future. Seeing these people Still really nervous.

But now when I see this scene again, I don't feel nervous at all, and I even feel a sense of enjoyment and joy.

He also looked at Zhang Yan, who was wearing a hijab, but he didn't know if she was as nervous as he was at the beginning.

After these ceremonies were over, the two of them were guided into the main hall of Fengxian Hall. Two seats had been placed on both sides, and there was a wine case in the middle, with four gold coins and two coins placed on it.

This was the last procedure, and then the two of them sat on both sides under the guidance of the female officer. The female officer took the golden goblet to drink and gave it to the two of them. Then the two of them drank at the wine table in the middle, and it was over.

Zhang Yan was also led by the female officer to Kunning Palace, while Zhu Youxiao had to stay in Fengtian Palace to hold a series of ceremonies.

Of course, there is no major ceremony, the main thing is banquet and celebration.

At this time, the main noble officials will congratulate the emperor on his wedding one by one. Zhu Youjian, Zhu Huijing, Zhu Huiyan and others will also attend to congratulate the emperor's brother on his wedding.
"My brother Zhu Youxiao, my sisters Zhu Huiyan, Zhu Huijing, and Zhu Huiti congratulate the emperor on his wedding."

Seeing Zhu Youjian and his three sisters kneeling in front of him, Zhu Huijing and Zhu Huiti behind him were very young and had no idea what this meant. But when they came, their mother-in-law said they must be obedient. Follow Zhu Youjian closely and don't run around and talk nonsense.

Now seeing his brother, the emperor, wearing a black crown uniform, he was very majestic. Zhu Huiti was timid and lowered his head when he knelt down and did not dare to speak. But Zhu Huijing was very courageous. Seeing him sitting on it seriously now, she quietly He winked at Zhu Youxiao, trying to make Zhu Youxiao laugh.

Looking at the funny imperial sister, Zhu Youxiao suppressed his smile. At this time, Zhu Youjian also saw the abnormality of the imperial brother. Looking back following his gaze, he saw Zhu Huijing winking at him, so he immediately glared at her. , Zhu Huijing also saw the always stern gaze of the second emperor brother, and was immediately frightened and did not dare to make any move, and bowed her head obediently.

"Okay, okay, get up and take a seat quickly, don't catch a cold."

Zhu Youxiao quickly asked He Ning and others to arrange for the three of them to be seated. At this time, Zhu Huijing suddenly ran next to Zhu Youxiao and handed him a purse.

"Brother Emperor, the Second Emperor Brother said that we should express our gratitude for your wedding, but we didn't know what to give you, so we made a purse, which contained some gadgets that we and the Second Emperor Brother put together. I hope you like it, Brother Huang."

Looking at the dragon pattern purse that Zhu Huijing handed over, Zhu Youxiao took it and took a look. He found that it was very finely made, with embroidered dragon and phoenix auspicious patterns, and there was a happy word on the back. He couldn't help but feel happy, thinking about his younger brother. The sisters are indeed sensible.

"Okay, okay, brother Huang likes it very much. As long as you have this intention, please take the trouble."

The banquet was extremely cumbersome, but Zhu Youxiao had to accompany him. By the time it was all over, it was almost Haishi ([-] to [-] p.m.).

I dragged my tired body back to Kunning Palace, which is the queen's bedroom and the bridal chamber on the wedding night.

When he arrived at the Jiao Room, the palace was filled with red light and joy. Zhu Youxiao saw a tall and elegant figure sitting on the edge of the bed, with a gorgeous red hijab on his head and clasped white and translucent hands. When he heard that the emperor was coming , Zhang Yanyou seemed a little restrained and nervous.

Zhu Youxiao also woke up a lot. He then walked slowly to Zhang Yan, and he could still vaguely hear the nervous gasping.

He saw a warm smile slipping from the corner of his mouth, and then lifted the red hijab with his hand, only to see the elegant and elegant beauty looking at him timidly with a pair of beautiful bright eyes, showing curiosity, timidity, and nervousness. The mouthful Zhu Ying's lips pursed slightly, making him trance for a moment.

"You have been waiting for a long time."

Seeing Zhu Youxiao speak, Zhang Yan realized what she was doing. She was about to stand up and kneel to Zhu Youxiao, but she said timidly and shyly:
"My concubine Zhang Yan comes to see Your Majesty."

But before she could get up, Zhu Youxiao held her shoulders, shook his head and said:
"No need to be polite, you must be very hungry after waiting for so long."

Regardless of whether Zhang Yan was hungry or not, Zhu Youxiao was a little hungry. Seeing that there were some snacks on the table, he got up and went to get two snacks, stuffing one into Zhang Yan's hand and one for himself.

This made Zhang Yan a little surprised and speechless for a moment. This was completely different from the emperor she imagined.
