The waiter shouted, "The ceremony is over." ”

The emperor stood up, and the hundred officials retreated. Next, the protagonist of this feast, Hu Shanxiang, appeared.

The official in charge of the festival sealed the festival order, and the official of the book held the wat board and stood next to the dragon pavilion where the books and books were stored, and the honor guard and the music team led the way, and the group came to the palace where Hu Shanxiang now lives - outside the gate of Kunning Palace, and the music was played.

At this time, our heart queen Hu Shanxiang wore the crown of nine dragons and four phoenixes, wore a sacrificial dress, walked out of the attic, and stood in the main hall of Kunning Palace, facing south.

She felt a little uneasy in her heart, but also faintly looked forward to and joy.

The music stopped abruptly.

Everyone was waiting for that moment.

The chief and deputy envoys put the gold book and gold treasure, which symbolized the status of the queen, on the table prepared in advance at the palace gate.

The envoy guided the chief and deputy envoys and the internal envoys to take place, and the envoys shouted: "Ma Xiaobin, deputy envoy Zhang Liang, uphold the order, and grant the queen's book and treasure seal." ”

The envoy ordered him to enter the house to tell the queen, and then came out and stood in his place.

The ushers, guide the attendants into their positions.

The envoy was given a decree to the internal envoy, and the internal envoy was ordered to kneel and accept it and hand it over to the eunuch.

The deputy envoy Feng Baoxi granted the internal envoy the order, and the internal envoy knelt and accepted the order and handed it over to the eunuch.

Shangliguan guided Empress Hu down the steps and stood in the center of the courtyard, the eunuch presented the book, and the treasure seal stood on the east and west sides of the queen.

The internal envoy shouted: "There is a system." ”

Shang Yiguan stepped forward to bow, and the queen then knelt down to bow.

The music begins. The gorgeous music made Hu Shanxiang's bones soft when he listened to it.

In this music, he couldn't help but go in the direction of the Fengtian Temple, got up after four bows, and the ritual music stopped abruptly again.

After the announcement is completed, the eunuch will hand over the book to the eunuch to read, and after reading, it will be handed over to the internal envoy and the internal envoy will kneel and hand it over to the queen, and the queen will kneel to accept it.

At this time, the queen did not bow down to the internal envoy and the order, but the emperor who was high in the Fengtian Temple.

Although he is not in front of him at the moment.

But at this time, the internal envoy issued a decree on behalf of the emperor.

The queen took the golden book, which symbolized her status, and handed it to Si Yan, the female official in the palace who was responsible for proclaiming the holy decree.

Then the eunuch of the Baoxi handed over the queen's treasure seal to the internal envoy to the order, and the same is, the internal envoy ordered to kneel and hand it over to the queen, and the queen also knelt to accept it, and handed it over to the secretary beside her.

At this time, Shang Yiguan called: "The ceremony is over." ”

Hu Shanxiang said goodbye.

At this time, the envoy ordered the eunuch to walk out of the court and inform the chief and deputy envoys: "The queen's canonization ceremony is complete."

The chief and deputy envoys retreated to the Hengnan Street of Fengtian Temple, standing in the north, with the west as the upper position, and gave the official in the Ming Dynasty to stand in the northeast, facing the west, and the chief and deputy envoys knelt down and shouted: "The ceremonial ceremony of adhering to the order of the queen is completed." ”

At this point, the ceremony is not over.

Later, the chief and deputy envoys knelt down to report to the emperor "in the middle of the matter".

After the ceremony, the officials of the Hanlin Academy handed over the edict to the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites read it aloud at the Orange Heavenly Gate, and then the emperor took the new queen to the "Fengxian Palace" to pay homage to the ancestors.

All the procedures are so complicated, Queen Hu doesn't know how many ceremonies and how many people's hands have passed through this golden book and Jinbao in her hand, and it is extremely honorable to be sent into her hands!

She felt dizzy in her heart, but this kind of dizziness did not make people feel uncomfortable, but had a small sense of happiness in her busyness.

When the glittering golden book, the jade seal, arrived in her hand, the glittering golden light suddenly made Hu Shanxiang feel that his whole body became brilliant.

At this time, Hu Shanxiang remembered what his sister had said.

She had to admit that her sister was right.

Such a grand ceremony, which is only a little inferior to the emperor's enthronement ceremony, for a woman, if a man can give her once, it is a death without regrets.

The last procedure of the canonization ceremony is that the queen goes to thank the emperor.

At this moment, Hu Shanxiang really felt grateful.

Zhu Zhanji had already sat on the dragon throne hall, and Hu Shanxiang was wearing the queen's dress, and was guided by the palace maid to salute and hold a thank-you ceremony.

At this moment, the intoxicating court music rose again.

Hu Shanxiang pious and pious eight prostrations.

She said silently in her heart: "Husband, even if you can only give me this title, I already feel satisfied. I will abide by the etiquette and ethics of being a queen, and live up to this grand ceremony in my life. ”

She got up slowly, and with the elegant two words of the undertaker: "Finish the ceremony", Hu Shanxiang officially entered the Kunning Palace, opening her era of the lord of the six palaces officially came.

"Your Majesty, if you give me a grand ceremony, I will definitely give you back a pure heart. From now on, I just need to be a good queen. The harem helmed by Xiang'er must be a peaceful land. ”

Empress Hu's face became very quiet. It's like an orchid blooming quietly in that valley.

However, at this time, Sun Lingwei of Yikun Palace was like a blooming peony.

After the simple ceremony of the Queen Mother's awarding of the Golden Book and Golden Treasure, it was Sun Lingwei's concubine canonization ceremony.

The ceremony was very simple, only Zhu Zhanji and Hu Shanxiang attended.

Sun Lingwei was wearing the concubine's auspicious dress, a new style of scarlet gold thorn five phoenix auspicious clothes, and wearing a new concubine phoenix crown specially created by the Shangyi Bureau on her head.

Originally, there was a ready-made concubine phoenix crown in the palace, but Zhu Zhanji took the initiative to propose that her grandson concubine was a virtuous and beautiful concubine who had never been seen before or since, so she specially created a new set of concubine clothes and phoenix crowns for her.

This kind of phoenix crown is made of gold, silver, copper and other metal wire mesh as the tire, lined with Luo yarn, and hung with jewel tassels, decorated with emerald phoenix, dragon and other decorations, the dragon and phoenix mouth with exquisite beaded flowers, drooping to the shoulder.

Zhu Zhanji took the gold book from the undertaker and personally awarded it to Sun Lingwei.

The album was made of gold, and was engraved with words praising the good conduct of the person being canonized, usually an official article, which was equivalent to a certificate issued to the person to prove that the person had obtained this status.

However, the inscription on the golden book is now written by the emperor himself.

Zhu Zhanji looked at Sun Lingwei who was dressed up affectionately, and read the words on the golden book softly:

The noble concubine Sun, the emperor's ancestor Taizong chose to be a concubine in me. For more than ten years, the virtue and righteousness have been crowned in the harem.

Zhu Zhanji finished reading it and handed it to Queen Hu.

Empress Hu said a few more official words to the new concubine to know how to thank God, be gentle and obedient, and share worries for the emperor, and handed over the golden book to Sun Lingwei.

Another deacon and eunuch took out the jade seal of the concubine and handed it to the emperor, who then handed it over to Empress Hu, and then granted it to the concubine for safekeeping.

In this way, the canonization ceremony of the concubine is considered a ceremony. (To be continued.) )
