Chapter 259 The Wedding (Update 15 ends, please vote for me!)
The days of getting married are dull and boring. She is already familiar with the rules and etiquette in the palace. The only thing that needs to be remembered is the etiquette on the day of the concubine ceremony. She has experienced the ceremony of concubine and concubine twice, so she is quite experienced.
I have experienced it, but the closing process is more grand and the procedures are more complicated.
In addition, before the ceremony of enthroning the queen, six rites must be completed: accepting the gift, asking for the name, accepting the honor, accepting the levy, asking for an appointment, and personally welcoming.
However, the six rites for an emperor to marry a queen are different from those of ordinary people. For example, the "nacai" means asking a matchmaker to go to the woman's family to propose marriage. After the woman's family agrees to discuss the marriage, the groom's family prepares gifts and goes to propose marriage.
The emperor's "acceptance" was the imperial edict.
The following steps of asking for names, accepting levies, and asking for dates are all the same, except that the betrothal gifts and dowry are all extremely grand. The final personal greeting-it is also the uncle's visit to marry him. Obviously the emperor is
It is impossible for Yun Zun to condescend to the minister's home. During the introduction, noble clan members will be arranged to welcome the queen into the palace.
In the past few months, the Duke of Chang's Mansion had been extremely busy, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites were also extremely busy. Only then did they finally complete all preparations before the auspicious day of the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month.
The fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month in the 20th year of Tianze is an auspicious day in the zodiac, and it is a good time to get married.
At dawn on this day, Wen Xiaotu was dug out of the warm quilt by the palace maid. Today was the day when she would marry the emperor and officially become the queen!
Although Wen Xiaotu tried hard to cheer up, he was still not interested in the ceremony.
After all, you have already given birth to two children. How exciting is it to have a ball of wool when you get married?
The naturally beautiful little face was decorated with beauty. Three thousand black hair was combed into a bun, and then she put on a phoenix crown that was enough to bend her neck. This time it was a real phoenix crown, although it looked just a little bigger than Zhai Guan.
, a little more gorgeous, but it is indeed the dream of almost every woman in this world.
Wen Xiaotu lamented in his heart: It’s so heavy!
Although this thing is very good-looking, it is only suitable for viewing in a display cabinet. Wearing it on your head is simply anti-human!
Fortunately, even the queen does not need to wear the phoenix crown every day. Except for the wedding day, she only needs to wear it during important festivals to add to the occasion.
Although the crown on Wen Xiaotu's head is called a phoenix crown, it is actually a nine-dragon and nine-phoenix crown. It is surrounded by a circle of golden silk and a five-clawed golden dragon. The dragon in the middle holds a huge and round pearl in its mouth. It has a green cover and hanging pearl knots.
, the other dragons all hold dripping red emeralds in their mouths. Under the nine dragons, there are nine phoenixes with golden silk dotted with emerald green. The phoenixes have dripping pearls in their mouths, dotted with emerald peonies, southern pearls and pearl flowers, surrounded by gold and green clouds. In addition, there are three pairs behind the head.
There are six leaves on the left and right sides of the temples, decorated with golden dragons, green clouds, and twelve jeweled mother-of-pearl flowers...
This crown alone can hold a jewelry exhibition!
After putting on a whole set of wedding clothes, Wen Xiaotu felt that she simply couldn't walk.
That’s why the palace maids need to support each other!
Wen Xiaotu asked: "Who is coming to welcome the bride?" - Is it King Sheng?
Aunt Qiu Sang said happily: "Your Majesty originally pointed to His Highness Prince Sheng, but Prince Sheng has caught the cold in the past few days, so he had to replace him with Prince Anyou."
Prince Anyou is the emperor's uncle and a hereditary noble, so his status is valuable enough.
Xiao Yinzi raised his voice outside the curtain and said: "Queen, the auspicious time has come, and the bride-to-be has arrived! Please move forward!" - This voice was ups and downs, even more like a opera.
Wen Xiaotu complained silently, and was helped up by Qiu Sang and Tong Xia, and then moved quickly.
It's not that she doesn't want to walk faster, but the wedding dress is dragging the floor, and she is holding a dragon and phoenix fan to cover her face, so she can't see the way forward at all. If she is not careful, she will fall.
Dog chewing mud! She didn't want to cause any embarrassment on her wedding day.
Fortunately, Wen Xiaotu only had to walk a few steps. After leaving Danruo Hall, her eldest brother Wen Chengdong picked her up and carried her all the way to the main hall of the front yard of Changguogong Mansion. He bid farewell to his parents as usual, and then Wen Qi
According to the etiquette, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu lectured their daughter who was about to get married. Because of her special status, Wen Qi and his wife did not dare to lecture her. They just said some auspicious words of blessing.
Wen Xiaotu knelt down and said goodbye to his parents, "My daughter is gone. I hope my father and mother will take care of themselves."
Wen Qi and Mrs. Xu hurriedly stood up and returned the courtesy. Wen Qi said respectfully: "May the Queen be happy and healthy."
Alas, it's not like marrying off a daughter, but more like sending off an ancestor.
Then, it was her second brother Wen Chengliang who picked her up on his back and took her to the queen's carriage outside the palace gate.
All the young and old members of the Wen family also followed him out. Wen Qi and Mrs. Xu bowed to see her off, while the rest of the children and grandchildren knelt down one after another until the queen drove away.
Wen Xiaotu was already sitting in the spacious and gorgeous phoenix carriage. It had to be said that this carriage was wider and taller than the imperial concubine's carriage. She rubbed her neck and tried to cheer herself up: Hold on!
The phoenix chariot was moving gurglingly. Wen Xiaotu was sitting in the ceremonial chariot. He felt that the speed was a bit slow, but... the Duke of Chang's Mansion was very close to the main entrance of Daxuan Palace, that is, Daxuanmen. It was usually only half a mile away.
It's an hour, but...it seems like it has to be an hour anyway, right?
The most obvious evidence is that she is hungry.
Although they tried hard to stuff a lot of food in the morning, and even though it was their wedding day, Xiao Yinzi and Qiu Sang did not dare to starve the Queen. They just cut off the soup and refused to let her use it. After all, this big dress is not convenient for the little girl.
untie.
Wen Xiaotu was hungry and thirsty now. She was sure that it was already noon!
Where on earth is this going?!
Wen Xiaotu is very confused!
This is the Feng Jia who greets the Queen in the palace. It is impossible to send her somewhere else, right?
In other words, after so long, I am afraid I can even leave the capital!
At this time, Grandma Qiu Sang's voice came from outside Feng Jia: "Empress, you have already circled the city twice. In half an hour, you can enter the Great Xuanmen Gate."
Wen Xiaotu: The co-author was paraded around the capital!!
She has a black line!
"I know!" His tone was a little unhappy.
I'm hungry! Can't you hurry up? Go around your sister!
After walking around for more than half an hour, she heard a "buzz" sound, which was the sound of the grand gate opening.
Ah, finally entered the palace!
Wen Xiaotu is full of bullshit and is like a dog emperor. It’s really hard to get in through the door of our house!
After entering the palace, she was greeted by more and more complicated etiquette, including worshiping the ancestral temple, offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, and bowing to the high hall - that is, kowtowing to the Queen Mother. Fortunately, the emperor accompanied her through these procedures.
.
She only needs to follow the ceremonial officer's singing harmony, kneel and bow, and then receive all kinds of things, such as imperial edicts, treasure books, gold seals, wishes...
She also had to listen to a long series of congratulations from the chief of ceremonies, and finally, when she was sent to Fengyi Palace, it was already dusk.
Fuck you, I’m exhausted!!
This marriage made Wen Xiaotu extremely irritable.
