Then the two of them turned their eyes to their daughter-in-law's stomach, Chang Luohua's face turned red, he also liked the little prince and princess, but she really couldn't do it herself.

At this time, Zhu Biao, who was far away in Fengyang, had already drunk and was helped into the house to sleep in a daze, how could he not want to return to Beijing for the New Year, but his duty was to discipline himself.

Chang Luohua also returned to the East Palace later, and she was the only master in the palace of Nuoda, Yun Jin and Nuan Yu waited for her to freshen up, and Chang Luohua brought her own maid and mother-in-law were waiting outside.

The girls who are in their duty are always welcome, and it has been so long that Yunjin Nuanyu is still innocent, it is conceivable that they are not the kind of foxy people, and Chang Luohua also has the heart to get closer to them.

After all, Zhu Biaonian can be seen by everyone, the more people who come to the East Palace, the more status they will have as the old people who have served Zhu Biao since childhood, and Chang Luohua doesn't mind supporting one or two.

The big and small Shuang'er put away the royal Ruyi and Feng Hai, but the jade Ruyi in the East Palace didn't know how many there were, Nuan Yu evacuated Chang Luohua's long hair and put the ornaments aside, the princess seemed to like her more and more, which made Nuan Yu's little life more and more pleasant.

Yun Jin is still the same light and breezy appearance, exuding a soft aura all over his body, which makes people feel good when they see it, Chang Luohua sometimes can't help but think in his heart that I am afraid that Yun Jin will do better as the crown princess.

After Chang Luohua finished freshening up, Yun Jin carefully put the soup lady inside, the princess was cold, it was better to be warmer, and Nuan Yu waited for Chang Luohua to lie down.

Chang Luohua suddenly reached out and grabbed her little hand, Nuan Yu's big eyes instantly became round, and she looked at the princess cutely, thinking that the matter of stealing the fruit shop at noon was known by the princess?

Yun Jin raised his eyebrows, his expression remained unchanged and continued to do his own thing, Chang Luohua looked at Nuan Yu who seemed to be able to blow up his hair and said with a smile: "It's too cold at night, or Nuan Yu, you can warm my bed, I heard His Royal Highness say that it is very warm to sleep with you." ”

Nuan Yu looked at the crown princess blankly, Chang Luohua looks like the Lan family and is very beautiful, but she also inherits some of Chang Yuchun's characteristics, full of heroism, Zhu Biao liked this at the beginning.

After a while, Nuan Yu's cheeks burst red, she squeaked and said something, and then she covered her face and ran out, Chang Luohua buried her chin in the quilt and said: "No wonder His Royal Highness likes Nuan Yu so much, and specially arranged her in Wenhua Palace, it's really cute." ”

Yun Jin chuckled and sat on the edge of the bed and tucked the quilt for her: "The slave guards the princess, and I will change the soup lady for you later." ”

Chang Luohua refused with a smile: "You go down to rest, there are many things in the palace tomorrow, and you have to take care of them." ”

Yun Jin won't say more, she is the head of the female officials in the palace, tomorrow is New Year's Day, naturally she is very busy, if she doesn't sleep tonight, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay up tomorrow, so I went out and called the princess's nurse to go in and serve.

On the fifth watch of New Year's Day, the palace maids will get up early, burn incense and set off fireworks, drink pepper and cypress wine, and eat dumplings. At the same time, they will secretly wrap silver money in the dumplings, "the one who gets it will be lucky for a year".

At dawn, a musician of Jiaofang Temple beats the big drum on the side of Fengxianmen, first beats the drum frame once, and then beats the drum heart continuously with a double qi, a heavy beat and a light beat, the rhythm changes from slow to fast and then from fast to slow, the drum sound changes from weak to strong, and then from strong to weak, and then another Jiaofang Temple musician hits the big bell on the side of Fengxianmen.

With the sound of drums, hundreds of officials wearing court clothes began to line up outside the noon gate, and walked towards the direction of Fengtian Hall one after another, and at this time, the deacon came to the Huagai Palace, where Zhu Yuanzhang had already put on a dragon crown and sat on the throne of the main hall. The deacons bowed to the emperor five times, and after kowtowing, they invited the emperor to come to the Fengtian Temple.

The emperor set off, and the band began to play "neutralizing music". Shang Baosi officials walked in front of the emperor with the emperor's imperial seal in their hands, and the guide officer served as the lead.

When the emperor came to the Fengtian Palace, the fan that had been placed here was opened, the bead curtain was rolled up, and the officials of the Shangbao Division placed the imperial seal on the treasure case that had been set up in advance on the east side of the throne.

The officials shouted: "Xuanbiao! ”。 At this time, the official should kneel down and prostrate on the ground and wait for the "declaration". The watch official took the watch, and the watch official came to the bead curtain in front of the emperor's throne, read the "watch" aloud, and the hundred officials knelt to listen to the "watch".

After a set of tedious ceremonies, the ministers inside and outside the hall collectively bowed down, and the mountain shouted long live.

After that, the preface officials moved the "table" to the east side of the main hall, and the officials shouted: "All the officials kneel!" On behalf of the hundred officials, the "acting speech officer" who congratulated the emperor knelt in the middle of the Dan Majesty and addressed the emperor: "Gu Guanchen is a certain official, I meet Zhengdan, Sanyang Kaitai, and everything is salty and new." His Majesty the Emperor Gongwei, Yingqian Nahu, Fengtian Yongchang. ”

After saying this, the officials got up. At this time, the Jiaofang Division Band played Shao music again, and the hundred officials bowed to the emperor four times before getting up.

The music stopped, and the herald knelt in front of the emperor to ask the emperor for his will, and then the herald came out of the east gate of the main hall, came to His Majesty Dan, stood facing east, and shouted: "The emperor has a decree!" ”

The celebrant shouted, "Kneel! The hundred officials knelt down again, and the official read the emperor's will aloud: "The celebration of the end of the performance is the same as the Qing." ”

The celebrant shouted, "Raise the mountain! Baiguan knelt down and raised his hands above his head and shouted "Long live"! The salute officer shouted again: "Shan Huh! The hundred officials shouted "Long live" again! The salute officer shouted again: "Again the mountain! "Hundreds of officials shouted "Long live" again! When Baiguanshan shouted "Long live", all the people present must echo in unison. That momentum can be described as shaking the earth!

After that, after a series of tedious ceremonies, the emperor can get up and return to the Huagai Palace, and the hundred officials can leave accordingly. This set of rituals will take more than an hour.

Then it was time to hold a banquet, civil and military officials and foreign envoys were present, highlighting the majesty of the emperor and the status of the Ming Dynasty "Heavenly Empire", they all congratulated the Ming Emperor and presented gifts, and the second half was the emperor to reward the officials, including rewarding gifts and holding banquets.

According to the etiquette system, the feast is accompanied by wine nine times, and there is music and dancing during the feast. For example, when drinking the first jue wine, it is necessary to play the "Song of Bad Luck" and "The Song of Longevity", and at the same time, there must be a dance to calm the world.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang was already dizzy, he still had to finish this complete set of etiquette, the emperor's New Year was not easy and pleasant, too many red tape etiquette, too many ritual procedures.

However, since ancient times, the etiquette has not been inferior to the people, in order to embody the spirit of respecting the heavens and ancestors, and also to reflect the majesty of the royal family, these are inevitable.

Zhu Biao, who was far away in Fengyang, escaped, after all, as the prince of the East Palace, he was supposed to follow the emperor through all the rituals, and there were many troublesome rituals that belonged to him.
