The next day, it is the day when the queen enters the palace, according to the Manchurian wedding, the dowry is the day before the auspicious period, only the queen's dowry has 360 units, and it is sent for four consecutive days, so it starts early.

It was Chongyang on this day, but there was no wind or rain, and they all crowded into the street to see the first dowry in the world.

Naturally, the route has been inquired about a long time ago, the queen's convoy entered the Daqing Gate, went out of the left gate of Chang'an, turned north from the east, entered the Dong'an Gate, and then entered the palace from the Donghua Gate.

The big Qing gate of the eaves wing is the main gate of the imperial city, the open space in front of the door is square, the stone fence is separated, the shape is like a chessboard, so it is called the chessboard street, also known as the heavenly street, it is clear and dust-free, and it is most suitable to play the moon.

At this time, it is the first good place to see the excitement.

Early in the morning, the infantry army commanded the yamen and the three banners of the internal affairs government and the Ronglu cavalry camp of the Interior Affairs Bureau, as well as the inlaid white flag in the Chaoyang Gate and the Zhenglan Banner in the Chongwen Gate in the management area, and sent a large number of men and horses to deploy along the road to maintain order.

It's just that you can hold a leather whip on weekdays, try to intimidate, and if you are disobedient, you can also whip two whips, but this time it is a big joy, and the queen mother of the two palaces has already said something: a good day for the people to celebrate together, don't be embarrassed for the people!

Therefore, those who wore new green satin coats, thin-soled fast boots, and red tasseled hats were miserable.

With all his strength, he pressed the surging crowd back as much as possible, and kept shouting: "Borrow light, borrow light!" They all shouted hoarsely, and they were so tired that they were sweating profusely before they could make room for a two-zhang wide passage in the center of Tianjie.

Approaching the middle of the day, I finally heard the sound of drumming, but I saw the endless yellow satin color enjoyment, and came in a hurry, and the jewelry, cultural toys, clothes, boots and hats in the color pavilion were not very clear.

The good-looking ones are still the honor guards, the school captain who carries the makeup, and the red satin embroidered short coat is as bright as a cloud. At this time, everyone knew that why the weaving yamen in Jiangning and Suzhou had to spend millions of dollars?

After fifty or sixty colored pavilions of yellow satin, there are dozens of wooden objects.

This is the Governor of Liangguang Ruilin and the Guangdong Customs Inspector Chongli Office of the poor, tables and chairs several cases, all with red sandalwood, polished smooth, no paint, the size of course extra-large, carved patterns are not dragons or phoenixes, are different from the folk.

It's just that among the wood, there is only a lack of a bed, and some people can't help but be disappointed, because there is a legend that the queen is married to an eight-treasure ivory bed, and it turns out that there is nothing to do. However, the queen and the emperor are together, don't they even need a bed?

The bed is naturally there, and at the moment when the makeup is done, the four specially selected "knotted women" are making a happy bed in the East Warm Pavilion of Kunning Palace.

The bed was already installed at the same time as the palace was built, and it was installed between two vermilion pillars that did not meet, and its name was the bed, which was really a different world, and there were several lamps and candles in it, and everything needed in the room could be hidden.

The "bed" can also be said to be a mave, so there is no bed roof, only a carved frieze, a plaque with black characters on a red background, and four big characters "The sun rises and the moon is constant".

Under the vermilion pillar in the west, there is a large cloisonné furnace, and next to the pillar in the east, there is a snow-white powder wall, and there is a large banner of "standing on the top of the sky", and the peony is painted with "full of gold and jade".

There is a red sandalwood coffee table below, a pair of oil lamps, and honey is added to the oil, hoping that the emperor and the queen will be as good as "honey blending oil".

The four women who "made the bed", led by the wife of Beile Yixuan, who had only become popular in the past year or two, like Rong Lu, were all dressed according to their products, and the four female officials specially selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs from the palace maids helped to carry out the story.

Rong Lu, this character Zhonghua, was born in a family of eight banners, and belongs to the Zhengbai flag of the three banners. His grandfather and father were both killed in Guangxi at the beginning of Hongyang, and Rong Lu took Yin Shengbu as the head of the Ministry of Industry and managed the treasury, which was a fat shortage, but somehow offended Su Shun and almost went to prison on charges of corruption.

When Wenxiang became the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Rong Lu's astuteness was quite appreciated. Later, King Alcohol took over the Shenji Battalion and reorganized, and Rong Lu became a "special minister" and "wing commander" due to Wenxiang's recommendation.

Like the two wings of a bird, the position of "wing chief" is equal to the right and left hands of Prince Alcohol, and at least half of the military power of the Shenji Battalion is in his hands.

It was he who raided An Dehai's home, and now he is appreciated by Cixi to walk in the Internal Affairs Office.

Rong Lu seems to be less than thirty years old, born like a jade tree in the wind, handsome and extraordinary, and with luxurious clothing, he looks like a beautiful son in the turbid world, which is enviable.

Each of the four women stood in a corner, laid out a new cluster of brocade mattresses neatly, and then took the four jade-inlaid ruyi from the female official and suppressed them in the corners of the bed on all sides.

Then, the four female officials brought in a "dragon and phoenix Tonghe" robe, a red satin hijab with a "hundred sons and nine phoenixes" pattern, and a pearl and jade headdress in the form of dragon and phoenix, double happiness, ruyi, etc., and wrapped it neatly with a square embroidered phoenix yellow jacket, which was ready to be sent to the back house, and the queen was put on the auspicious day to wear the phoenix.

This is the end of the ritual of making the bed for the four wives.

On the thirteenth day, after the makeup, the queen had to prepare to be a bride. Although the auspicious period is selected on September 15, the ceremony has begun in the middle of the night from the thirteenth, in front of the Taihe Palace, the furnishings are full of halogen books, Dan Majesty is happy, first canonized, and then welcomed.

At the beginning of the fourteenth Yin, the emperor's palace, personally read the book treasure, canonized the queen's edict, was written by the cabinet, a magnificent four or six texts, cast into gold characters, embellished in the jade plate, by the Ministry of Industry to undertake, reimbursed more than 1,000 taels of gold.

"The Queen's Treasure" is also cast with red gold, four inches and four minutes high, one inch and two minutes square, handed over to the dragon new, Manchu and Chinese, by the Ministry of Rites, but also reimbursed more than 1,000 taels of gold.

Now it's time to be welcomed. As soon as lunch was over, hundreds of civil and military officials entered the palace one after another, and in front of the Taihe Palace, they arranged shifts according to their grades.

At the beginning of Shen, the emperor came to the palace, first received congratulations from hundreds of officials, and then issued a decree to send Fengyu to be placed inside the end gate and outside the noon gate to welcome the queen.

At this time when all the people were drunk and dizzy, the emperor was in a panic in the Qianqing Palace, perhaps because he was impatient to wait, or maybe he was like the groom in the world, he must have this kind of uneasy mood. Anyway, the emperor just felt that time passed too slowly.

"When?" He asked the little eunuch.

Listening to the magnanimous and melodious voice of the chiming bell, and seeing that the long and short needles intersected in the middle, the little eunuch knelt down with a smile and said in a loud voice:

"It's orthogonal at this time. September 15, long live the auspicious period of the Lord! ”

The eight young relatives who were on standby outside the palace, headed by Zai, also entered the palace to congratulate them on the first day of September 15, and at the same time reported a news that Concubine Hui had entered the palace and was placed in the Xianfu Palace behind the Changchun Palace.

The emperor didn't say anything, he was still paying attention to the moment when the queen entered the palace, and when he was about to ask a question, he only listened to the bells and drums on the Wufeng Tower at the noon gate, which meant that the queen of the world had entered the palace from the Daqing Gate.

"It's time!" Zai asked for a safe and said, "Please start driving." ”

"Okay, let's go!" The Emperor nodded and said. (To be continued.) )
