Chapter 60: Under the Wedding

Originally, Zhu Yijun thought that the wedding would be held in Qianqing Palace, but he didn't expect it to be in Kunning Palace.

This time, Zhu Yijun can be regarded as seeing the importance of the queen in this era, no wonder it will take so much effort to abolish the queen in history. Perhaps this is also a manifestation of etiquette in this era, spoiling a concubine and killing a wife is definitely a big crime.

In his previous life, Zhu Yijun had watched many film and television dramas with this kind of plot, but in this era, he realized that there were really few such things.

Spoiling a concubine and killing a wife is on the law of the Ming Dynasty, and ordinary people can't do it, let alone scholars. If you really do this, you will definitely be attacked by mainstream values, and it is estimated that you will fall into the mud and then step on it a few times.

Unless the wife dies, the concubine straightens up, but even if this is the case, it is more of a continuation than letting the concubine be the wife.

The two imperial concubines didn't have this fate, they had to wait until tomorrow, and there was no ceremony to worship the church, but there were still wedding dresses in the cave room. Zhu Yijun has been going to be the groom for three consecutive days, but all the scenery today belongs to the queen.

Zhu Yijun didn't understand the ritual of worshipping at all, so he could only start acting according to the eunuch's teachings.

After a large set of etiquette tossed, Zhu Yijun ushered in the most important ceremony of the wedding, that is, entering the cave room. Unlike the cave room in later generations, the cave room in this era is also part of etiquette, and Zhu Yijun must take it seriously.

When the queen and the emperor get married, they also have to enter the "cave room", but unlike the folk customs of the cave room, the cave room where the queen and the emperor marry is not in the emperor's own original bedroom, and there is no fixed cave room, and the place where the ceremony is held is generally regarded as the cave room on the wedding night.

Zhu Yijun's cave room is naturally in Kunning Palace, which is also the arrangement of Empress Dowager Li and Empress Dowager Chen, and the maintenance of the queen by the two of them can be seen.

This approach is clearly to support the queen, with the support of the two queen mothers, it is estimated that the queen will be absolutely unstoppable in the harem in the future.

The cave house of the queen and the emperor is much more upscale and luxurious than that of ordinary people's homes, but it is not exempt from the custom of sticking red double happiness and festive couplets. The theme of the cave house is also bright red, creating a red light and a joyful atmosphere.

In front of the bed, there will be a "hundred children's account", and a "hundred children's quilt" will be placed on the bed, that is, a hundred children's tents and quilts with different expressions are embroidered. The bed hangs a red satin embroidered dragon and phoenix double happiness curtain, and the emperor's house also hopes to "have more children and more blessings".

After a glance at the magnificent cave room, Zhu Yijun knew where he had spent his 700,000 taels.

The gold and jade treasures in the cave room are magnificent. The east side is the emperor's throne by the north wall, and there is a jade ruyi handle that symbolizes "auspicious Ruyi" on the right hand, which is naturally the kind that is priceless and cannot be bought by the people with money.

The bed is a red sandalwood carved dragon and phoenix, next to it there are porcelain bottles, treasures and other furnishings, and a pair of double happiness table lamps are furnished on the left side of the bed on the long side. The bed is covered with a thick red satin dragon and phoenix double happiness mattress, and the bedding has bright yellow satin and vermilion colored satin quilts and pillows.

The pattern is beautiful, the embroidery is fine, and the wealth is incomparable. There is a festive couplet hanging on the wall of the bed, in the center is a picture of a peony flower, and against the wall is a pair of treasure Ruyi cabinets. Needless to say, the things in it will be put in the future generations, even if they are put in the present, they are also priceless.

There is a dining table under the west window of the new landlord's room, and in front of the table are beans, baskets, baskets, and figurines that symbolize the husband and wife feasting together, which means the same as the folk "eat a pot of rice in the future". After entering the cave house, the worship is carried out before the joint ceremony, and the husband and wife sacrifice together.

Every time this sacrifice is made, the newlyweds have to eat together, so that their stomachs are full before they go to bed, so that they will not be hungry for food. Because of drinking a little wine, you can also adjust the love of both parties in place, which can be regarded as a flirting method before going to bed.

Zhu Yijun didn't feel any fun at all, he felt that he was going to be tired. Glancing at her bride, Zhu Yijun didn't know where the little girl's body came from such strength, she was afraid that she would be more powerful than herself on this day.

The next thing to be carried out is the joint wine, the so-called "joint ceremony", which is the so-called "drinking a glass of wine" among the people.

It is "scoop". "Together", the original meaning is to combine the cut gourd into one, and it was used to hold wine in ancient times. Mix the wine in the respective gourds of the emperor and queen together, and drink together, that is, "together"

In ancient times, a gourd was cut into two scoops, and the bride and groom each held one of them, drank a glass of wine, and took the meaning of "two into one".

Before that, Zhu Yijun needed to lift the queen's hijab, and a red sandalwood stick was sent to Zhu Yijun's hand.

What is the scientific name of this thing Zhu Yijun didn't know, anyway, it was quite heavy in his hand, and Zhu Yijun felt that this stick was a lot of money when it was sold. If this is put in the future generations, I don't know how much it is worth.

Gently picking off Sister Wang Xi's hijab, Zhu Yijun saw a face, although he had been prepared in his heart and was well-informed in later generations, Zhu Yijun was still shocked by this makeup.

Holding back his silence, Zhu Yijun also smiled at Queen Wang, he was afraid that he would not behave well and leave a bad impression on Queen Wang. After all, this is just a thirteen-year-old girl, and it is estimated that she is already worried about it now

The two of them didn't communicate too much, they sat directly opposite each other and began to salute. Queen Wang poured a glass of wine and handed it to Zhu Yijun, Zhu Yijun took a sip and handed it to Queen Wang, who drank it all.

Zhu Yijun poured another glass of wine and handed it to Queen Wang, Queen Wang took a sip and gave it back to Zhu Yijun, who drank it dry in one gulp.

After drinking the wine, the matter is not over, although only the only thing left is to go to bed, but there is still etiquette to pass. This time, Zhu Yijun was taken away, and actually went to the next room to change clothes.

Take off the crown dress on your body, the emperor's new regular clothes, saying that things are often clothes, are actually sleeping clothes.

The same is true for Queen Wang, who is served by the palace maid to remove makeup and change clothes, and after both sides are finished, Zhu Yijun was led back to the cave room. After entering the cave room, all the people withdrew, leaving only Zhu Yijun in the palace.

At this time, Queen Wang was standing by the bed timidly, and when she saw Zhu Yijun coming over, she knelt on the ground respectfully to salute Zhu Yijun, which was also part of the wedding etiquette.

Zhu Yijun stretched out his hand to help Queen Wang up, and he could obviously feel the girl's body trembling, Zhu Yijun smiled faintly, and it seemed that he was not so nervous. waited until the girl was helped up, and Zhu Yijun took advantage of the light to look at his queen for the first time.

To be honest, Zhu Yijun was a little stunned, this is definitely not the reason for the lighting.

With fair skin, pretty appearance, a touch of blush on her cheeks, pursed her mouth, and a timid appearance, she is really a beauty! Sure enough, it's a character who has been chosen by thousands of people, and this beauty is really nothing!
