Chapter 833: After Establishment
Chapter 833: After Establishment
On July 18, the auspicious day chosen by the Qin Heavenly Supervisor, everything is appropriate.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple did their best, and almost all the eunuchs and palace maids who could be used in the palace were used, and tens of thousands of good red silk horses were transferred to cover the yellow glazed tiles of the palace, and the copper nails, lanterns, porch pillars of the entire palace door, and even the spear of the Yulin warriors were also tied with red silk, in order to show that the emperor's wedding was forbidden to war, and the meaning of peace and benevolence.
According to the etiquette of the Chu State, the emperor's wedding must be presided over by the chief and deputy envoys.
It is the need for respected elders to serve, and it is naturally the most suitable to select candidates from among the royal relatives, if it is a few days ago, the king of Huainan is naturally the best candidate, but the change of the imperial tomb has naturally changed the candidate for the envoy, and finally Ma Lan of the Zhenguo Company served as the envoy, and the deputy envoy naturally served as Yuan Laoshang of the Ministry of Etiquette.
In the early morning of July 18, as soon as the sky was bright, the gate of the palace had been opened, and two teams of burly soldiers held golden melons, jade Laos, golden furnaces, incense boxes, etc., and behind them were eunuchs wearing sauce-colored robes, holding high the nine-winged screen fan on behalf of the queen, and thirty-six people carried a huge golden jade chariot, which was opened by the Yulin warrior holding a long halberd, and slowly set off from the palace to the Yuan Mansion of the Ministry of Rites.
The procedures for the emperor to marry a wife are similar to those adopted by the people, asking for names, and accepting levies, but they are much more cumbersome in terms of details, and the use of manpower and material resources and the impact on the world are naturally not comparable to those of the common people.
According to the etiquette system, the emperor does not have to go out of the palace to marry in person, after all, the emperor is the son of heaven, the respect of the ninety-five, and it is easy to move, so the main envoy and deputy envoy of the big wedding will carry out this procedure on behalf of the emperor.
Princess Tianxiang of Dongqi is not from Chu State, and the team that goes out of the palace to greet relatives is naturally not easy to go to the foreign embassy to greet relatives, so the Ministry of Rites has discussed in advance, and before welcoming relatives, let Princess Tianxiang settle in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites, and then marry Princess Tianxiang from the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites.
The people of the capital naturally knew about the day of the emperor's wedding, so the honor guard to marry the queen had just left the palace, and thousands of people on both sides of the street were already overcrowded.
This kind of scene has long been expected, so Kyoto Prefecture and Tiger God Camp have already made preparations, and there is a post every two steps, which separates the lively people from the rest, and a smooth avenue has already been cleared outside the main gate of the palace, so there is no delay in the time of the honor guard.
The crowd is crowded, and it is inevitable that someone will fish in troubled waters, reach out to steal some money, or take the opportunity to touch the little daughter-in-law's buttocks.
The big wedding is the Zhenguo Company Ma Lan Although he is old, but his duty is to walk at the front of the honor guard with both hands holding a roll of bright yellow silk silk high, and the deputy envoy Yuan Laoshangshu is also behind him.
One of the considerations for arranging Princess Tianxiang in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites is the problem of the road.
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu Mansion is not far from the imperial city, after all, the two envoys of the emperor's wedding are very old, and according to the etiquette system, they must not ride a car or horse, so if the road is too far, the two old ministers can hardly support it.
Marrying the queen of the empire is naturally a very trivial matter, and this time there are dozens of courtiers who are accompanied by the honor guard, and Qi Ning is also impressively listed.
Qi Ning himself is a brocade waiter, and he is the envoy who went to Dongqi to ask for relatives, and now he is indispensable to marry Princess Tianxiang.
Like other officials, Qi Ning can only walk on foot, although there are many officials, Qi Ning is still very conspicuous in the crowd, and he can become an important minister of the court, he is not young, and Qi Ning is young and walks in front, so he welcomes many eyes.
The procession to welcome relatives arrived at the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites, and the Yuan family had already made preparations.
The prince of Dongqi dressed in gorgeous clothes, and the officials who led the Dongqi delegation were already waiting thirty zhang outside the gate of the mansion, and the old and young of the Yuan family were also in the team, Yuan Rong was also dressed in brocade, and he was in the crowd, and saw the team of the Son of Heaven welcoming his relatives coming, and the sound of drums and music immediately outside the gate of the Yuan mansion, and the gong and drum band composed of hundreds of people played and resounded in the sky.
Yuan Laoshangshu of the Ministry of Rites raised his hand and signaled the team to stop, while Ma Lan of Zhenguo Company stepped forward, slowly unfolded the yellow silk in his hand, and said loudly: "The holy decree has arrived, and the prince of Qi State has received the decree!" ”
Duan Shao, the prince of Eastern Qi, lifted his brocade robe, bowed his head, and everyone behind him also knelt on the ground.
Huang Juan unfolded, and Sima Lan read slowly: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: I inherit the order of heaven, Qin Shao's grand plan, the way of the country, and the family is the foundation." The ethics of husband and wife, the righteousness of Qiankun, the respect of the ancestors, the sincerity of the co-ordination, and the only importance of the resources. Today, send an envoy to hold the festival, to choose the ceremony, hereby register the princess of Qi Tianxiang as the queen, and order the secretary and others to hold the festival and serve the treasure, and carry out the greeting ceremony, and admire this! ”
After reciting the holy decree, after Duan Shao bowed three times, he respectfully accepted the holy decree with both hands, and his face was full of spirit.
In the sound of gongs and drums, the female official helped Princess Tianxiang, who was wearing a phoenix crown, out of the palace gate and gave a golden jade chariot carried by thirty-six people, and Duan Shao, the prince of Eastern Qi, would also enter the palace with him.
This time, Princess Tianxiang married to the Chu State, but the Qi State also carefully selected thirty-six palace maids, and these palace maids will also follow Princess Tianxiang into the palace and serve left and right.
Surrounded by female officials, Princess Tianxiang came out of the house, walked in front of Duan Shao, and bowed to Duan Shao, now she is far away in a foreign country, the monarch of Qi is not in front of her, the eldest brother is her father, Princess Tianxiang salutes Duan Shao, that is, she bids farewell to her parents and marries away.
Duan Shao stepped forward to help Princess Tianxiang, but there was a bit of emotion between his eyebrows, and after three bows, the female official helped Princess Tianxiang to the golden jade chariot, and Yuan Laoshangshu of the Ministry of Rites shouted in a loud voice: "Kneel to welcome the queen!" The first one knelt down, and the ministers who came to greet him immediately lifted their robes and fell to the ground one after another.
The queen is the mother of a country, the emperor made a canonization decree, although Princess Tianxiang has not yet entered the palace, but she is already the justifiable queen of Chu, as a courtier of the Chu country, it is a matter of course to bow down to the queen of her country.
Ma Lan of Zhenguo Company frowned, hesitated, and finally knelt down.
After the female official sent Princess Tianxiang to the jade chariot, Sima Lan took the lead in getting up, and Yuan Laoshangshu also got up and said in a loud voice: "Welcome the queen, get off!" ”
Thirty-six burly men got up almost at the same time, lifting the golden jade chariot steadily, and the twenty female officials arranged by the Chu State were waiting on both sides of the jade chariot left and right, while the thirty-six palace maids who followed Princess Tianxiang to the Chu State were divided into three teams, twelve people in each team, and lined up neatly behind the jade chariot.
These thirty-six accompanying palace maids are not all young and young, twelve of them are around forty years old, and everyone also knows that although these older palace maids are not as young and beautiful as the young palace maids, they are bound to be much more sophisticated in dealing with people, and there are many beauties in the harem of the Chu State, and the Qi State sent these palace maids to naturally make Princess Tianxiang foolproof in the court of the Chu State.
The honor guard holding the golden gourd and jade Laos walked in the front to open the way, followed by the eunuch honor guard holding high the nine-winged screen fan, followed by the golden jade chariot where the queen was, ten female officials on the left and right supported the golden jade chariot and walked slowly, followed by thirty-six palace maids of Qi State, behind the palace maids, Sima Lan took the lead, followed by Yuan Laoshangshu, and Qi Ning followed Yuan Laoshangshu a few steps away.
Qi Ning knew in his heart that the ceremony of welcoming Princess Tianxiang from Yuan's mansion had just begun, and once he entered the palace, the next ceremonies were as many as a cow's hair, and they were all tossed down, but he was afraid that it would be dark.
After walking for a while, Qi Ning felt that something was wrong, according to reason, after marrying Princess Tianxiang, he had to return to the palace directly, and the road back to the palace Qi Ning was clear, but the team in front suddenly turned to another road, which was obviously not the way back to the palace.
He was a little strange, and when he caught a glimpse of Wuxiang Hou Su Yu on the side, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Wuxiang Hou, where are we going?" ”
Wuxiang Hou was stunned, and also said in a low voice: "Don't Jinyi Hou know?" After marrying the queen, I have to go to the Zhenguo Mansion, and today I not only want to marry the princess of Qi, but also welcome the eldest lady of the Sima family into the palace together. ”
Qi Ning frowned and said, "Sima Yunqiong? ”
Su Yu nodded slightly, and Qi Ning was puzzled: "Something is wrong with this." How can anyone marry a queen, but go halfway to marry another woman? Even if you get married on the same day, you should send another team to get married. ”
The procession walked slowly, winding like a long dragon, and Qi Ning saw that there were also soldiers standing on both sides of the road to the Zhenguo Mansion, and thought that he had already prepared.
Su Yu chuckled, leaned closer, and said in a low voice, "Send another team?" Marrying the princess of Qi State, the important ministers in the court have already come, 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 taking into account the face of the Qi State, the important ministers of the Chu State must be in the team of marrying the queen, so that even if another team is sent to the Sima family, it is also some officials with low status, and the Sima family is of course unwilling to have such a situation.
"According to the etiquette system, only the queen will send a wedding team." Su Yu lowered his voice and said: "Although the Sima family is an important minister of the imperial court, the emperor has not issued an order to appoint Sima Yunqiong as the imperial concubine for the time being, and the Sima family should directly send the young lady into the palace, and there will be no ceremony, hehe..... The key is that Sima Yunqiong was born in the Sima family, so she will make such a big move, but I heard that this is the intention of the Queen Mother, since there is a will, let's follow it. ”
Qi Ning sneered in his heart, secretly thinking that this was the case, it was already very inappropriate for the Sima family to let Sima Yunqiong enter the palace on the same day as marrying the queen, and today he even wanted the queen's jade chariot to turn to Sima Mansion to welcome his relatives, which was really ignoring etiquette.
It's just that at this time, the team moved forward in an orderly manner, and Qi Ning didn't have much trouble, and raised his eyes to look at Sima Lan, although the old man's beard was white, he looked very healthy at this time, and he still walked with a square gait.
Qi Ning was bored and lazy, his eyes went, and he saw Sima Lan in front of the group of palace maids of Qi State, and the palace maids who came from Qi State to marry were all wearing red makeup, but he found out before that the young palace maids were all wearing bright red clothes, while the older palace maids were all wearing dark red wedding dresses, and the three teams of Qi palace maids were all young palace maids in front, while the older palace maids were all in the back.
At this time, his eyes fell on a palace maid at the back, the palace maid said that she was dressed in dark red, naturally she was an old palace maid, but looking at it from behind, the palace maid's figure was really not bad, although the bloated red makeup could not make the palace maid's figure fully exposed, but between walking, the palace maid had a bewitching gait, a light waist swing, and the buttocks wrapped in the red dress were full and plump, swaying.
Qi Ning couldn't help but sigh in his heart, secretly thinking that when this palace maid was young, even if she was not a stunning beauty, she must be a stunner with all kinds of charms, and at this age, this figure is still charming and full of seductive femininity.
