Chapter 833 nbp;
On July 18th, the great day chosen by the Imperial Heavenly Prison is suitable for everything.
All the officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple were used. Almost all the eunuchs and maids could be used in the palace. The tens of thousands of pieces of red silk were used to cover the yellow glazed tiles of the palace. The entire palace gate copper nails, lanterns, porch pillars, and even the end of the spears of the Yulin Warriors were tied with red silk to show that the emperor would stop the war from the wedding, and he would be kind and kind.
According to the etiquette of the State of Chu, the emperor's wedding must be managed by the two envoys.
It is the most suitable for the elders who need respected to be the ones, but it is natural that they can select candidates from the royal family. However, if it was a few days ago, the King of Huainan was naturally the best candidate. However, the change in the imperial tomb naturally changed the candidates. In the end, Ma Lan, the Zhenguo Company, was the chief envoy, and the deputy envoy was naturally appointed as the Minister of Rites Yuan.
In the early morning of July 18th, just as the sky was dawn, the gate of the palace was already opened. Two teams of burly soldiers held golden gourds, jade, golden furnace, incense box and other supporters. Behind them were eunuchs in the leader of the team, holding a nine-winged screen fan representing the queen's support. Thirty-six people carried a huge golden jade chariot, and opened the way from the Yulin warrior holding a long halberd in his hand. They slowly set out from the palace and went to Yuan's mansion, the Minister of Rites.
The procedure for the emperor to marry a wife is similar to that of the people, such as the adoption of names, and the appointment of a constituent, but the details are much more complicated, and the use of manpower and material resources and the impact on the world are naturally not comparable to that of the people who get married.
The procedures for na Cai and ask for names have long been passed by officials of the Ministry of Rites on behalf of the emperor. According to the etiquette system, the emperor does not have to leave the palace to marry in person. After all, the emperor is the emperor and the emperor is the emperor, and he is the emperor and the deputy envoy of the wedding can carry out this procedure on behalf of the emperor.
Princess Tianxiang of Dongqi was not from Chu, so the team who left the palace to welcome the bride was naturally not easy to go to the envoys to welcome the bride. Therefore, the Ministry of Rites discussed in advance that before the bride, Princess Tianxiang would be allowed to enter the Minister of Rites' Mansion, and the team who welcomed the bride would then marry Princess Tianxiang from the Minister of Rites' Mansion.
The people in the capital naturally knew the day of the emperor's wedding, so the guard of honor who married the queen had just left the palace, and thousands of people on both sides of the street were already crowded.
This kind of scene was expected, so the Tiger God Camp in Kyoto Prefecture had already been prepared, and there was a post in two steps, which separated the people watching the fun from the supporters far away. A smooth road had long been cleared outside the main gate of the palace, so the guard of honor did not delay the time.
The crowd is crowded, and it is inevitable that someone will hang out in troubled waters to fish, reach out to steal some money, or take the opportunity to touch the young wife's butt.
The wedding was exactly the same as the Zhenguo Company, although Ma Lan, who was old, had a duty. He held up a roll of bright yellow silk with his hands and walked at the forefront of the guard of honor. The deputy envoy Yuan Laoshu was also following behind him. The two looked awe-in-law and looked straight. In the respectful eyes of the onlookers, they were also square and moved forward without any speed.
One of the considerations of Princess Tianxiang was arranged in the Minister of Rites’ Mansion was the road issue.
The Minister of Rites' Mansion is not far from the imperial city. After all, the two envoys of the emperor's wedding were old and they must not ride horses according to the etiquette system. Therefore, if the journey is too far, the two old ministers will find it difficult to support it.
It is naturally a special thing to marry the empire’s queen. This time, dozens of officials from court officials were greeted with the guard of honor, and Qi Ning was also among the list.
Qi Ning himself was a waiter of Jinyi, and he was the official envoy to go to Dongqi to propose marriage. Now that he is marrying Princess Tianxiang, he is naturally indispensable.
Like other officials, Qi Ning could only walk on foot. Although there were many officials, Qi Ning was still very conspicuous among the crowd. She was able to become an important official of the court. She was not young at a young age, and Qi Ning was walking ahead, so she ushered in many gazes.
The wedding team arrived at the Minister of Rites' Mansion, and the Yuan family had already made preparations.
The Prince of Dongqi said with a gorgeous costume, and the officials of the Dongqi mission were already waiting thirty feet outside the mansion. The Yuan family and the young were also in the team. Yuan Rong was also wearing brocade clothes. He saw the emperor's brides coming in a mighty manner. He immediately outside the Yuan government gate. The drum music and the gong and drum band composed of hundreds of people played, resounding throughout the sky.
The old minister of the Ministry of Rites raised his hand and signaled the team to stop. Ma Lan, the Zhenguo Company, went forward, slowly unfolded the yellow silk in his hand, and whispered: "The imperial edict has arrived, and the prince of Qi will receive the edict!"
The prince of Dongqi Duan Shao lifted his brocade robe and bowed his head. Everyone behind him also knelt on the ground.
The yellow silk spread out, and Sima Lan slowly recited: "Subordinate to heaven and inherit the fortune. The emperor ordered: I inherit the order of heaven and the great plan of the country. The family is the basis for the family. The relationship between husband and wife and the righteousness of the universe are actually the respect of the ministers and the sincerity of the support of the ministers. The resources are only important. Now I send an envoy to maintain the integrity and choose the etiquette. I will book the princess Tianxiang of Qi as the queen. I will order you to hold the integrity and treasures to carry out the greetings. I will praise this!"
After the imperial edict was recited, Duan Shao bowed three times, he respectfully accepted the imperial edict with both hands, and his face was full of energy.
Amid the sound of gongs and drums, a female official helped Princess Tianxiang, wearing a phoenix crown and a robe, out of the mansion and presented a golden jade chariot carried by thirty-six people. Duan Shao, the prince of Dongqi, would also enter the palace with her.
This time Princess Tianxiang married into Chu, but Qi also carefully selected thirty-six palace maids to accompany the palace. These palace maids will follow Princess Tianxiang into the palace and serve the people.
Princess Tianxiang, surrounded by female officials, came out of the mansion, walked to Duan Shao, and bowed to Duan Shaosan. Now she is far away in a foreign country. Before the king of Qi, the eldest brother is his father. Princess Tianxiang bowed to Duan Shao, and said goodbye to his parents and married out of the house.
Duan Shao stepped forward to help Princess Tianxiang up, but there was a hint of emotion between his eyebrows. After three bows, the female official then helped Princess Tianxiang to go to the golden jade chariot. Old Shangshu Yuan of the Ministry of Rites shouted in a loud voice: "Kneel down to welcome the queen!" The first one to kneel down, and the ministers who came to welcome the bride immediately lifted up their robes and knelt down on the ground.
The empress is the mother of a country. The emperor issued an imperial edict. Although Princess Tianxiang has not yet entered the palace, she is already the legitimate empress of the Great Chu. As a minister of the Chu State, it is natural to kneel down to the empress of the country.
Ma Lan, a Zhenguo Company, browned tightly, hesitated for a moment, and finally knelt down.
After the female official sent Princess Tianxiang to the jade chariot, Sima Lan stood up first. Old Shangshu Yuan also stood up and whispered: "Welcome the Queen and get up!"
Thirty-six burly men stood up almost at the same time and lifted the golden jade chariot steadily. Twenty female officials arranged by the State of Chu were serving on both sides of the jade chariot. The thirty-six palace maids who followed Princess Tianxiang to Chu were divided into three teams, each with twelve people, neatly lined up behind the jade chariot.
These thirty-six accompanying palace maids are not all young and young. Twelve of them are around forty years old. Everyone knows that although these older palace maids are not as young as young palace maids, they must be much more experienced in dealing with people. There are many beauties in the harem of Chu State. Qi sent these palace maids to make Princess Tianxiang foolproof in the Chu State's court.
The guard of honor holding golden gourds and jades walked at the front to open the road. Then there was the guard of eunuchs holding a nine-winged screen fan. Then there was the golden jade chariot where the queen was. Ten female officials on both sides walked slowly with the golden jade chariot. Then there were thirty-six palace maids of Qi State. Behind the palace maids, Sima Lan took the lead, followed by the old secretary Yuan, and Qi Ning followed Yuan a few steps away.
Qi Ning knew in his heart that the wedding ceremony of Princess Tianxiang from Yuan’s mansion had just begun. Once he entered the palace, the following rituals were as numerous as cows, and they were all tossed, but it was afraid it would be dark.
After walking for a while, Qi Ning felt something was wrong. According to the principle, after marrying Princess Tianxiang, she had to return to the palace directly. The road to return to the palace was clear, but the team in front suddenly turned to another road, which was obviously not the road to return to the palace.
He was a little surprised and saw that the Wuxiang Hou Su Shi was beside him. He couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Wuxiang Hou, where are we going?"
The Marquis of Wuxiang was stunned and whispered: "Don't you know that Jinyi Hou? After marrying the queen, you have to go to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Today, you have to marry the princess of Qi, but you also have to welcome the eldest daughter of the Sima family into the palace together."
Qi Ning frowned and said, "Sima Wanqiong?"
Su Yan nodded slightly, and Qi Ning said in confusion: "This is something wrong. How can you marry the queen? But you go to marry another woman halfway? Even if you marry on the same day, you should send another team to marry."
The team walked slowly, winding like a long dragon. When Qi Ning saw soldiers standing on both sides of the road to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, he thought he had already been ready.
Su Yan chuckled, approached slightly, and whispered: "Send another team? To marry the princess of Qi, all the important officials in the court have come over. Who should the other team send?"
Qi Ning immediately understood.
Sending a team to marry Princess Tianxiang, whether it is the status of the queen or the appearance of Qi, the important officials of Chu must be in the team to marry the queen. In this way, even if another team is sent to the Sima family, they will be officials under the status. Of course, the Sima family is unwilling to have such a situation.
"According to the etiquette system, only a bride-welcoming team will be sent to marry the queen." Su Shi lowered his voice and said, "Although the Sima family is an important minister of the court, the emperor has not issued an order to make Sima Wanqiong the imperial concubine yet. The Sima family should have sent the lady directly into the palace, and there will be no rituals. Hehe, the key is that Sima Wanqiong was born in the Sima family, so he would have made such a big fight. But I heard that this is the empress dowager's intention. Since we have the will, we will follow it."
Qi Ning sneered in his heart and thought to himself that it was so. It was already very inappropriate for the Sima family to let Sima Wanqiong enter the palace on the same day as he married the queen. Today, he even wanted to let the queen's jade chariot break to the Sima Mansion to welcome the bride, which really ignored etiquette.
But at this time the team was moving forward in an orderly manner, and Qi Ning didn't have many troubles. He looked up at Sima Lan. Although the old man had white hair and beard, he looked very energetic at this time and still had a square gait when he walked.
Qi Ning was bored and lazy, and looked at him and saw that Sima Lan was in front of the Qi State palace maids. The palace maids who came from Qi State were all red makeup. However, before he discovered that the young palace maids were all wearing bright red clothes, while the older palace maids were all wearing dark red wedding dresses. The three teams of Qi State palace maids were all young palace maids in front, while the older palace maids were all lined up behind.
At this time, the eyes randomly fell on the palace maid at the end. The palace maid said with a dark red dress, which was naturally an older palace maid. But looking from behind, the palace maid's figure was really good. Although the bloated red makeup could not fully reveal the figure of the palace maid, while walking, the palace maid was in a charming gait, with her waist swaying lightly, and her buttocks wrapped in a red skirt were full and plump, swaying.
Qi Ning couldn't help but sigh in her heart, thinking that when this palace maid was young, she must have been a charming and seductive beauty even when she was not a stunning beauty. At this age, her figure was still charming and charming, full of seductive femininity.
