Chapter 2: After the Establishment

On the fourth day of the first month of this year, Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor in Yingtian, and the country was named Daming and the year was Hongwu. The Lima family was the queen, awarded the golden book and treasure seal, and set up the eldest son Zhu Biao as the crown prince, announcing it to the world.

At three o'clock, Ah Xiu got up and was served and dressed by the palace people, first wearing the underwear of the dragon and phoenix wearing the clouds, then the yellow gold-woven cloud dragon pattern horse-faced skirt, and then putting on the jacket of the red phoenix branches, covering the dark cyan Zhai clothes with the red edge of the cloud dragon pattern, and two long gold silk carved and embroidered cloud dragon patterns. Tie a large belt decorated with a golden cloud dragon pattern, half green and half red, and the end is pure red. The secondary belt is made of gold and is tied under the large belt.

Ah Xiu raised his hand and looked at the Zhai clothes on his body, Zhai Wen is a red-bellied golden chicken, I heard Su Xin say that there are twelve rows and twelve columns, plus the front placket is stacked, a total of one hundred and forty-eight pairs, each with a different feather shape, lifelike, really ingenious. Colorful feathers, decorated with small round flowers between the brocade chickens, are round flowers with pearl pendants, and there are small white beads with a circle of patterns. Each row and each row of brocade chickens and beads are staggered.

Zhai's body is long to the feet, so naturally there is no need to wear clothes anymore. Ah Xiu thought that he wanted to loosen up after wearing it, but he saw Suxin Ying'er Yan'er Bichen go into battle together, tied his knees again, and tied two jade leather belts, both of which were yellow plain ribbons, decorated with gold cloud dragon patterns, and decorated with twelve pieces of high-quality white jade belts, and then hung a string of jade pendants and small ribbons on the large belt and side belts together with the big ribbon.

Then Su Xin helped Ah Xiu sit down, tied her hair in a bun, and put on a silk forehead decorated with a golden cloud dragon pattern, 21 pearls on the bottom, and a tie on each side. Finally, bring the phoenix crown of the purple and gold fetus, nine dragons and nine phoenixes. The face is then painted with pearl and emerald flowers, and the ear is hung with pearl rings.

At this time, Ah Xiu looked in the mirror: in the middle of the phoenix crown, there was a dragon title and a big pearl, with green cover and golden wings, drooping gold beads and jade knots, and the rest were all beads in the mouth. There are forty pieces of pearl green clouds, twelve trees of large beads, and twelve trees of small beads. There are a total of six temples on the left and right, decorated with golden dragons and green clouds, all of which are hanging beads. A pair of emerald mouth rings, 12 jewels on it, 12 emerald dan rings, and a pair of tori gold mouth rings.

The rings worn on the ears and the pearls and emerald flowers on the face are also extremely delicate and repeated: the pearls are strung into a long pendant with gold wire, and the end is inlaid with a large bead, and the upper part is decorated with pearls, emerald leaves, etc., each with an S-shaped gold hook.

The beaded emerald flower on the face is an ornament attached to the face, referring to the Song system, there are five pieces: one is attached to the forehead, a large bead in the middle, four small beads around, and four green leaves interspersed; Two pieces are pasted on the two pieces, each inlaid with a large bead, decorated with five green leaves; The two pieces are attached to the ends of the left and right eyebrows near the hairline, with six pearls in a row, decorated with twelve green leaves.

Ying'er waited for Ah Xiu to lift her feet, and Bi Jin took off the socks that Ah Xiu often wears, and replaced them with socks made of Qingluo, with lace-up knee socks on the socks. Put on a pair of snails, made of green silk, the body is engraved with a sufficient amount of gold wire to embroider the cloud dragon pattern, and the upper is edged with a silk thread. The head of the head is upturned, the head of the cloud is ruyi, and there are five large beads on it.

Ah Xiu smiled bitterly: "This dress is a hundred pounds, not to mention that my back, neck and shoulders are sore, and my body is also covered in fine sweat." It seems that this queen is really not good to be! Su Xin smiled: "No matter how heavy it is, it is the only glory in heaven and on earth!" Besides, the dress is only worn during the ceremony, and after the salute and the concubine bows, you can come back and change into regular clothes. The queen should bear with it! ”

So Ying'er handed over a piece of bright yellow satin, and Bijin presented a piece of Yugu Gui, and Ah Xiu took it in his hand.

Ah Xiu was led to this familiar and unfamiliar Zhu Yuanzhang. Years later, she couldn't remember what he was wearing that day, but she clearly remembered the burning longing and unwavering affection in his eyes.

This man fulfilled his promise that day and made himself the queen, but the bright yellow on his body seemed to burn his eyes, and two tears slipped down his cheeks, and Ah Xiu wiped them away quietly. Step by step, he stepped forward firmly, took his hand stretched out to him, was led by him, stood beside him, and bowed down with hundreds of officials.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu took the edict, took it out of the palace, and then put it into the dragon pavilion that was carried by someone. Then, under the escort of drums, honor guards and civil and military officials, they circled the hundred officials. After the edict official knelt down and bowed three times, he held the edict to the Xuanzhao Taihuang case. Then he stood on the stage facing west and read aloud the edict of enthronement. After reading, the civil and military officials lined up in order according to the order of their official positions and knelt facing the north, kneeling three times and bowing nine times to thank the emperor.

After reading the edict, the edict is rolled up by the edict official, put it in a wooden plate shaped like a cloud, come to the golden phoenix in the middle of the battlement of the city tower, put the edict title in the mouth of the wood carved golden phoenix, and then use the yellow velvet rope to hang the golden phoenix from the middle of the battlement mouth and slowly descend from the middle of the battlement, to show the order of the emperor of heaven by the golden phoenix to descend from the sky to the world by the clouds. At this time, there were already officials of the Ministry of Rites kneeling below with a cloud disk. The edict in Jin Feng's mouth happened to fall in the cloud disk, and this move was the cloud disk to receive the edict.

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang personally read out the edict of the queen: "Sending his wife Ma, Su Yong Kuanmao, Ci rate the harem, when I was married to a small one, we shared weal and woe." Its people have the quality of Hui Softness, their hearts have soft and bright virtues, the main room has the beauty of peace and integrity, quiet and vertical instruments, and the inner court has the virtue of raising suitable children, and love and virtue. Now that I am on the throne, the queen's honor, should be the same body as me, Chengzong Temple, and the mother of the world! Today, I personally awarded the queen the golden seal of the Ma's treasure book, and became the queen and the lord of the six palaces. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang closed the edict and handed it to Ah Xiu, and handed over the golden seal of the treasure book one by one, Ah Xiu took it one by one and handed it to Su Xin and the others behind him. So the ceremony was completed, and Baiguanshan called long live a thousand years old, and bowed to the emperor and queen.

Then there is the canonization of the prince and Jiuqing, a ceremony took three hours to complete, after the canonization of the prince, Zhu Yuanzhang felt sorry for Axiu and asked her to go back to change clothes, Axiu smiled gratefully and helped Suxin out.

Back in the inner hall, Ah Xiuqiang beat his spirits, accepted the bow of the concubine, took out the edict written by Zhu Yuanzhang, and began to canonize all the relatives one by one.

Huilan saw that Ah Xiu was dressed in a very colorful dress, and she was envious, and saw that Lian'er was the first to be named Concubine Ning, thinking that although she was grounded with the gift of a concubine, now that Zhu Biao is the prince, although she is not the queen, she should definitely be on an equal footing with Lian'er.

After sealing Zhilan Qingyun as the concubine, Huilan beat a drum in her heart. Finally remembered herself, Huilan stepped forward to bow and accept the order, but it was Hui Concubine, not only lower than Lian'er, but even inferior to Zhilan and Qingyun who entered the mansion later, wanting to question, Lian'er coughed, Huilan remembered that there was a difference between high and low, and did not dare to say more, so she bowed hastily and thanked her, and sat beside Zhilan.
