Chapter Forty-Eight: The Emperor's Wedding (Part I) (Recommended Votes to 200)
From the morning, the Wuguo Mansion is quiet.
It seems that there is no sound of Ya Finch.
Lin Yan stood behind the screen, looking at the Qingluan peony flower pattern on the screen, and Mu Qing and Mu Zhi changed into her robe.
Robe, jewelry flower twelve trees, and two temples, its clothes to dark blue weaving into it, the text for the shape of Zhai. Quality, five colors, twelve, etc. Plain yarn in the single, black collar, Luo 縠褾, 襈, 褾, 襈 are all made of vermilion. Cover the knees with the color of the clothes, take the silk as the collar, use Zhai as the chapter, and the third class. The big belt is with the color of the clothes, Zhu Li, the outside of it, the upper with Zhu brocade, the lower with green brocade, and the green group in New York. With green clothes, leather belts, green socks, scarlets, white jade double wear, Xuan group double ribbon. Accept the canonization, the sacrifice, and the court meeting and other major events.
"Zhou Li" has clouds, the robe is one of the six clothes of the queen, and the concubine and the sacrificial dress are the most solemn of the "three Zhai".
Later generations referred to the "Zhou Rites", and the robe became the highest form of the queen's dress, which was not only a sacrificial dress, but also a court dress and an auspicious dress for canonization and weddings.
This robe has been tried on many times, but none of them are as significant as today.
Lin Yan walked out in this complicated and grand robe.
The honor guard of the Empress Fengying stretched from the middle hall of the Wuguo Mansion to the outside of the gate.
Messengers, palms, confessors, servants, palaces, internal servants, and guards......
For the first time, Lin Yan really felt the meaning of the word "queen" in connection with herself.
Lord Song, who was the messenger, glanced at her, and then sang: "Song has been given the queen a book of preparations." ”
Under the guidance of the maid and the Shang Palace, Lin Yan methodically awarded the queen's treasure book and treasure seal, and after three bows, it was followed by the preparation of the book after accepting it.
"Taiwei Song sealed the system and ordered Shaanxi to command Lin Ying's daughter Lin to be the queen. The first step of "Yi" and the first "Guan Ju" of "Poem" are the foundation of Wang Hua, which is actually supplemented by the inside. It is the late emperor Ying Concubine Yu, and the emperor ······ with light"
Then there are three new prostrations.
Then the Lin family, guests, envoys and others knelt down to worship the queen.
After kneeling three times and bowing three times, the canonization ceremony was completed, and Lin Yan was led out of the Wuguo Mansion by the Shang Palace and sat on the Fengyu.
The Zhuang family led the ladies and women of the Lin family to the front of Fengyu. And Lin Ying and Lin Yong led the children of the Lin family to kneel outside the gate.
Lin Yan took one last look at the Zhuang family with misty eyes and Lin Ying, who was solemnly kneeling on the ground, and then stepped on Fengyu, escorted by the Fengying guards, and set off for the palace.
Inside the palace, bells and drums rang in unison.
The carriage and horse honor guard passed the Zhonghe Gate, passed the end gate, and went all the way to the outside of the Qiankun Palace.
Lin Yan came out of Fengyu under the guidance of the servant woman, and when she raised her eyes, she saw the emperor standing in front of the Qiankun Palace.
He wore a crown, embroidered with 12 chapters, the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountain, the dragon, and the Chinese insects were woven into the clothes, and the Zongyi, algae, fire, powdered rice, yellow, and yellow embroidered on the clothes, and wore 12 crowns on his head.
Standing tall and majestic.
That's a real emperor.
A long time ago, Lin Yan thought that she couldn't remember what he looked like anymore.
But at this moment, the face of the man who was beautiful and would gently hold her when she was young coincided with the man in front of her very clearly.
In addition to the majesty and momentum of an emperor more than before, the years have not left too many traces on him, and he is actually still very young.
Perhaps knowing that she was looking at him, the emperor smiled at her slightly, and his face softened a little.
Lin Yan walked up the stairs step by step, every step was solemn, and then finally walked to him.
The emperor held out his hand to her.
Lin Yan looked at the hand, the bones were distinct, the fingers were slender, and there was not a trace of fine lines or defects on the hand, hanging in front of her at this time, gentle but not losing strength - Lin Yan thought, it was a hand that could be reassuring.
Lin Yan slowly stretched out her hand and placed her hand on his palm.
His hand wrapped around hers, perhaps with some reassurance. He took her by the hand and walked step by step towards the main hall of Qiankun Palace.
Then before walking to the dragon throne, he took her and turned around, facing the ministers, and accepted the worship of the hundred officials.
Lin Yan also saw the prince among the ministers.
He was standing at the front of the hundred officials, wearing the crown of the prince, such a conspicuous position, it was difficult for Lin Yan not to notice it.
He looked at her with a resentful gaze with deep hatred.
This made Lin Yan's heart faintly gloomy.
The next step is still the complicated three bows and nine knocks, the text is made and the answer is made, and the queen is thanked......
After a set of red tape, it was not until almost evening that Lin Yan and the emperor were led to Changkun Palace by the inner attendants.
Shanggong led the emperor into the Dongnuan Pavilion, took off his crown clothes, and changed into regular clothes. And Lin Yan also took off her heavy and complicated robe under the service of Shang Gong.
The emperor and queen sat opposite each other, and Shang Shi led the palace maid to enter with three animals, meat, wine, and fish, which was a gift for the emperor and queen to become the same prison.
The three animals used in the same prison are cows, pigs, and sheep, and the newlyweds eat one animal together, which means that they share happiness and longevity.
Lin Yan watched Shang Shi put the cut pieces of meat in a bowl, and after giving them to the emperor to enjoy, he sandwiched the remaining half of the slices in front of him.
Lin Yan looked at the half piece of mutton that still had tooth marks on it, and was stunned for a moment, paused for a moment, and then opened her mouth to take it into her mouth.
Shangshi once again took rice, millet, millet, wheat, and soybean grains, so that the emperor and queen ate together.
Take the cup and put the wine, which is a combination of wine, so that the emperor and queen can drink together.
Since then, the ceremony has been completed.
Shangshi Monk Palace led the palace maids to kneel and worship, wishing the emperor and queen to be concentric, Luan Feng and Ming.
The Emperor waved his hand at them.
Then Shang Gong and the palace maids retreated again.
The dormitory was quiet, and the arm-thick dragon and phoenix candles made a crackling sound, reflecting the figures of two people.
From the front of the Qiankun Palace to the ceremony just now, there were about hundreds of officials or palace maids in the Shang Palace, and Lin Yan didn't feel anything.
At this time, there were only two people left in the room, and she felt shy and uncomfortable.
The emperor glanced at her with a smile and said gently, "Are you hungry?" Would you like to eat something first? ”
Lin Yan shook her head: "I'm not hungry." ”
This is not a lie. Although the various rituals on this day are really hard, Lin Yan's food is not much, just now it was three animals, leeks, and five grains, and she was already full in one bite.
The emperor was afraid that Lin Yan would be hungry but didn't dare to speak, so he said, "Then let's eat with me." ”
Then she took a piece of mutton and put it in her bowl, and ate it herself.
Lin Yan glanced at the mutton in the bowl, picked up the chopsticks and ate them, and then put down the chopsticks again.
After observing her a few times and being sure that she was indeed not hungry, the emperor also put down his chopsticks, called the maid of Shanggong, and brought out the food in the house.
The room returned to quiet, and Lin Yan became uncomfortable, blushing slightly and looking down at the intricate patterns on her clothes.
The emperor kept looking at her, and Lin Yan became more and more uncomfortable. Then he was a little unconvinced, so he raised his head again and looked directly into the emperor's eyes, and looked at the emperor.
The emperor looked at her and suddenly laughed, with pampering and connivance in his tone, and said, "It's really grown up." ”
