Chapter 6: The Big Wedding
After the ceremony, the palace sent someone to propose marriage. It is worth mentioning that on August 19, the new emperor ascended the throne.
Emperor Zhao Rong of the Ming Dynasty had no children and grew up to adulthood, so after the funeral of Emperor Ming, Zhao Fang, the son of Zhao Wang, the king of Jicheng who had been raised in the palace, presided over the funeral and succeeded him as the emperor.
Before Chun Yujia was accepted by Emperor Ming on the grounds of recuperation, he received his military power, and he was given the false title of prince and prince to let him be idle at home, which was also to prevent the future one day when he was buried Chun Yu's rebellion.
And Zhao Lan inherited the position of Great Sima from his father Zhao Ken, and did not think about how to completely overthrow Chun Yu's clan, but instead monopolized the power, coerced the young emperor to go out and make up a pretense that the young emperor died of an unfortunate attempt to usurp the throne, but was Chun Yuyan rebelled against the army, saying that he had the intention of rebellion, and was forced to hand over the military power, and was finally booby-trapped by Chun Yuyan in the camp.
At that time, the emperor Zhao Fang saw the dictatorship of Chun Yu's family, and was unwilling to be a puppet, and failed to murder Chun Yu's father and son, but was abolished by Chun Yujia as absurd and unreasonable. That's why the position of emperor fell to Zhao Huan.
In fact, Zhao Huan was a generation younger than Zhao Fang, but Chun Yujia insisted on passing him to the eldest son of Emperor Ming, who died early, and corrected his identity for his succession, and Empress Dowager Ouyang was also respected as the Empress Dowager.
Regarding all this, after her father first said that he was going to pick her up, Xiao Zhan asked around and told her. In order to let her see the situation clearly, so as not to naively think that her father was the dynasty Yiyin, let her be a pawn at the mercy of others, and die in this struggle for power and usurpation.
On August 19, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the whole world celebrated. On August 25, the great Situ Ouyang Jue Dengchun proposed marriage in the mansion. After the three books and six ceremonies, on the tenth day of the first month of October, Zhao Huan sent the great Situ Ouyang Jue as the chief envoy, and Zhao Shuo of Zongzheng Temple as the deputy envoy to ascend to the palace again to welcome the queen for the emperor.
Feng Yu has long been waiting outside the Chunyu mansion, and when the Taichang Temple reports the auspiciousness, the queen ascends to the palace and sets off to the palace. Before arriving in front of the Nanzhi Gate, the female official in the palace held incense to expel the evil spirit for the queen, and entered the main hall of Xihe Palace from the middle gate, Ouyang Jue held the queen's book and read it aloud:
"I only have heaven and earth and virtue, and I have the power of purifying air and carrying thick air. The journey of the sun and the moon, and the four seas are clear. However, internal governance and upbringing should start at home, based on the king, and important to the country. The canon is available, and Yi Zhangsi is raised. Consult Erchun Yu's family, Qingxiang Shixun, Zhong Yu famous valve, sex Bingroujia, Minghui house, the rules of speech and etiquette and history, and the festival of respecting Henghuang. Silk bundle salary, including the chastity of the wild goose; Qin Se is in the palace, and he can enjoy the joy of grace. Relying on the help of the inner court, he is a sage, and he should be in the middle palace. Specially awarded the canonized treasure, Lier as the queen. Erqi only inherits Yi Xun, sincerely respects the worship of the temple, and filial piety is supported by the two palaces; Respectfully hold one's own body, be diligent and thrifty to lead the six palaces, and become the wind of Yonghe. Remember to be careful, and always be peaceful. β
She knelt on the ground in a red dragon and phoenix robe, and when Ouyang Jue finished reading the book, she kowtowed and thanked her. The female official presented the double happiness jade Ruyi, covered her with a red hijab, helped her to get into the sedan chair, and went to the Taimiao.
In front of the Taimiao, Zhao Huan was already waiting for her there. He was dressed in a red-striped dress on a black background, and watched Chun Yunian step by step, climbing up the stairs. The female official handed over the red silk to him, and the two entered the Taimiao and bowed three times and nine times to the ancestral tablet. The ceremonial official announced the completion of the ceremony, and he walked out of the main hall with Chun Yu Nian to accept the congratulations of the hundred officials.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to the Empressβ"
Chun Yunian looked at Zhao Huan in a blink of an eye, and saw that his expression was calm, and his body was calm and luxurious, not at all like he was from the countryside, but more like a natural emperor.
Finding Chun Yu Nian's eyes, he also turned his eyes to look at her. She stood facing the sunset, the soft sunlight falling on her, and the smile on her face was pure and gentle, "Your Majesty." She called him softly.
His heart jumped suddenly, he held her hand tightly, and said with a smile: "Empress." β
β¦β¦
The name of the middle palace is Chengqian, located in the north of the Zhaoming Palace, and the cave room of the emperor's wedding is located here.
The female official led the two of them into the cave room, asked the emperor to live on the left and on the right, cut off a strand of their hair and knot it in a box.
Su Wu Shiyun: Married as husband and wife, there is no doubt about love.
Chun Yunian couldn't help but look at him, thinking to himself where is his knotted wife now? What was he thinking at this point?
"What's wrong?" He looked at her quizzically.
She shook her head slightly, smiled lightly, and said it was okay.
At this time, the female official served the wine, Zhao Huan took a glass first, and Chun Yunian brought another cup over, and suddenly remembered two words to send herself - naΓ―ve.
In the past, I looked forward to what the wedding would be like in the future, what would happen to my husband, and what kind of wedding dress would she wear...... But in the end, which step is up to her? What are those fantasies that now seem naΓ―ve?
She frowned and swallowed the wine, with no joy or sorrow in her heart.
"Spicy?" Zhao Huan looked at her and asked with a smile.
She put down her glass and nodded, "Is it stronger than usual?" β
Zhao Huan put down the wine glass, did not answer her question, and said lightly to everyone: "Let's all step down." β
Only then did she feel speechless, how could he answer the strength and lightness of the wine? But apologizing is even more stupid.
The expression on his face was the same as before, he didn't care about her gaffe just now, and after everyone in the palace went out, he turned to ask her, "Are you hungry?" β
Seeing that he had revealed it so lightly, she had to nod her head at his words and say something.
He smiled, raised his hand to help her take off the phoenix crown, and got up and put it on the dresser beside him, "This phoenix crown makes my neck sore." β
Hearing this, she was stunned for a moment, and when she recalled what he said, she couldn't help laughing again, this person is really ...... Intimate.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
"You and I husband and wife, no need to say thank you." He turned to look at her and said, "Come." β
Chun Yu Nian looked at the hand stretched out in front of him, although his mood was a little complicated, he still put his hand up.
At this time, it was late autumn, even though the sun was shining during the day, but it was still cool at night, Chun Yunian was already weak, and because of the weather, the body temperature was a few points lower than usual. Compared with Zhao Huan, he felt more and more that he was an ice hole.
She tried to pull her hand back, but he held it tighter.
"What is there to hide?" He smiled, sat her down, touched the teapot, and poured her a cup of hot tea.
She took the teacup and took a shallow sip, "The concubine has been weak since she was a child, so her body temperature is always cooler than others, and it is even worse in autumn." β
"I know." His tone was light, and he pushed the pastry in his hand in front of her, "This is a wedding cake, try it." β
She took a piece as she said, thought it tasted good, and asked him instead, "Your Majesty doesn't eat it?" β
"I don't like sweets."
She smiled and thought for a while before saying, "The concubine likes it very much, but it is easy to get angry if she eats too many sweets, and the family is in charge." When I was a child, I thought, didn't the doctor say that I was cold and wet? Isn't it possible to dispel cold and dampness when on fire? β
Hearing this, Zhao Huan couldn't help laughing loudly, laughed for a long time before stopping, looked at her and took it for granted.
"So, it became the two heavens of ice and fire later."
"Are you feeling better now?"
She nodded, "It's just that you need to take care of it after autumn." β
"Oh," he nodded thoughtfully, "then rest early." β
Hearing this, she choked on a mouthful of hot tea in her throat, coughing in front of him, not coughing, not coughing, her whole face was flushed, probably choked.
Zhao Huan was a little innocent, he didn't say anything, how could he scare people like this, and hurriedly got up to help her get up. But when I think about it, I think it's a little funny.
Chun Yunian coughed for a long time before he recovered, and when he looked up, he saw someone with a teasing smile. If she was still at home, she would definitely kick someone in this case, but the other party was the emperor, and she didn't dare. I had to look at him with resentment, and turned away to be angry.
Hearing this, the smile on the corner of Zhao Huan's mouth deepened, and he sat in front of her, "What's the matter?" β
Chun Yu Nian dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, no, she didn't even dare to have a face, "It's okay." She said in a hoarse voice.
He took her hand and held it in his hand, sat down in front of her, curled the broken hair on her face behind her ear, and looked at her gently, "Are you afraid?" β
She looked up at him, her face pretending to be dazed, but she knew in her heart what he was talking about. Say you're afraid? are all married to him, no matter what the outcome will be, they are nominally his wife, the gift of Zhou Gong, what is the difference between doing it and not doing it? Why be hypocritical?
But don't you know? Not to mention that she is still an untrained little girl, even if she is a woman who has been married for many years, where is the reserve of her daughter's family when she says it like this? She couldn't say it.
Her hand was no longer cold, and she looked down at the hand holding her, not knowing how to answer.
He didn't ask her for an answer, he also looked down at the hand he was holding, his thumb gently stroked the back of her hand, and he couldn't help but bow his head and kiss it.
Her heart skipped a beat, she couldn't believe that he could do such a thing, and subconsciously murmured, "Your Majesty......"
Zhao Huan raised his eyes to look at her, and when he saw her surprised, he immediately lowered his head and laughed, "It's abrupt." β
She sighed softly, a helpless smile rising at the corner of her mouth, and took the hand back.
The dragon and phoenix candles on the table are bright, and the hibiscus tent is warm......
β¦β¦
The sound of the third watch's bangzi sounded, Nie Rousang looked at the dark night, but there was no trace of sleepiness, and the maid Shuyu stepped forward to remind: "Master, it's really time to rest." β
She turned her eyes to look at Shuyu and smiled faintly, "Have you seen the queen today?" β
Shuyu looked at his master and said distressedly: "Obviously, you and Your Majesty are the original husband and wife." β
She shook her head, still with a shallow smile on her face, "How can Your Majesty have any wives?" I'm just a concubine. β
Before entering Beijing, Chun Yujia was quite dissatisfied after learning that he had married his relatives, or the great Situ Ouyang Jue interceded from it, saying that if he married his relatives, he might as well be the daughter of Chun Yu's family, and Chun Yujia sent someone to welcome him into Beijing. When he told himself about it, he felt quite guilty and said that he would not treat her badly. She knew his ambitions, so she was willing to be a concubine.
But now that she has really become a concubine, she realizes that she is not as frank as she imagined. That position should have been hers, but now it has been taken away by life, how can she be willing? But even if you are unwilling, what can you do? She heard that Zhao Huan liked Chun Yunian very much, and when she came out of the Taimiao, she never let go of her hand all the time. What's more, her father is alone in the court, how can she be qualified to be a queen? I just hope that Zhao Huan will really live up to her as he promised.
