Chapter Forty-Three: The Great Banquet of the Ministers

Chapter 43: The Great Banquet of the Ministers

On the night of the wedding, Guangxu knew that there were two more concubines! I really wanted to get up and complete my task, but I didn't expect that the queen who was very quiet on the surface, I don't know where I learned the room technique, the entangled Guangxu is soft and numb, and he couldn't get out at all, Guangxu didn't want to get out at that time, and after the "big war" ended, the queen entangled Guangxu to death, Guangxu really didn't have the strength, and then fell asleep.

The next day, before dawn, Guangxu was woken up by the sound outside, you can see the people kneeling below, after Guangxu opened the curtain, a palace maid said, please change your clothes and makeup! Guangxu touched his bald head, do I still use makeup like this? The queen got up and asked, were they here last night?

Guangxu replied, it seems to be!

Yes!

Can you sleep well?

Then wrap yourself in a quilt!

Guangxu also pulled the curtain and prepared to fight the rivers and lakes at this time!

The voice of the teacher Weng Tongyi sounded, the emperor and the queen don't miss the auspicious time, there are still two major gifts to be completed today to worship the gods and see the temple!

At this time, Guangxu had no choice but to let go of the queen, got up and changed his clothes and makeup, and a busy day began.

Guangxu and the queen first went to the southeast and northwest directions to salute, and placed the gods of all parties on these offering tables, and then returned to the temple dedicated to the shamanic gods to kneel and worship, and kneeling and worshipping to perform three kneels and nine bows. The last thing to worship is the stove king, and the three bows are performed.

At this time, the ritual of sacrificing to the gods was completed, and then it was non-stop to worship in the Shouhuang Palace, at this time Guangxu finally saw his other two imperial concubines, Guangxu saw two delicate women wearing cheongsam, with big wings on their heads, and waiting for flower pot bottom shoes on their feet, "There are women in a small family who have just grown up, and they are slim and jade in the world" The two sisters are beauty embryos, but they are too young to talk about budding, at most they can only be regarded as a flower bone! Both sisters were standing outside the door of the Shouhuang Palace, followed by a group of people, and it was obvious that the two of them had been waiting for a long time!

When Guangxu saw the two of them, he ran over quickly, shouting as he ran! Love Concubine! Love Concubine!

The two concubines were startled and at a loss, and the deputy envoy next to them immediately said, this is the emperor, hurry up and salute!

Sister Concubine Jin is quite calm, pulling her sister Concubine Zhen to bow down to the emperor who is rushing here!

The emperor's actions were a bit unexpected by Weng Tonggong, and it was impossible to hold him back, so in front of the old man, another scene of infatuated men and women was staged!

How are you guys! I wanted to see you last night, but I fell asleep! It didn't work out. Are you tired! Are you used to it in the palace! Do you like it here! Are these people good to you?

。。。。。。

Concubine Zhen didn't answer, she just laughed vigorously!

Concubine Jin still answered one question at first, but later found that she couldn't keep up with Guangxu's rhythm at all, so she didn't answer! And Guangxu directly grabbed the hands of the two people in this public, how could the two of them not break free!

And the queen also followed behind, very curious to look at such a scene, Weng Tongyi also came up, the emperor asked you to quickly ascend to the hall, and began to see the temple, Guangxu reluctantly let go of the hands of the two, and said that we will have a good chat later, do you know? I have so much to say to you!

Then turned around and walked towards the main hall, and then it was natural to hold the queen's hand, the queen was very natural to hide, Guangxu was to lead, just like that, the two people wandered between hiding and leading, and the concubine behind was even louder.

Weng Tongyi saw this scene, he really couldn't stand it, the emperor used to be very good, if the queen mother asked, what would be going on at this time, how could I be a teacher, how should I answer correctly!

The temple is that the emperor took the newlywed queens and concubines to the portraits of the ancestors and kowtowed, which is to tell the ancestors that the emperor has married a daughter-in-law, and our family will soon blossom and bear fruit!

After worshipping the queen and the princess, you can have a four-day holiday, during this time Guangxu and the three new daughters-in-law are the tenderness and sweetness of you and me, the queen is the largest of the four, but in fact, Guangxu has been actively guiding the development of the relationship between the four people, Guangxu found that the queen is the most knowledgeable, maybe because of the relationship between the identity!

She takes the world very seriously, and she will be careful everywhere, for fear that if she doesn't do a good job, it will affect her glorious image!

Concubine Zhen is the youngest, romantic and innocent, lively and carefree all day long, she has no concept of being a wife and a mother, she is just a child, is she thirteen years old, is she a child!

Concubine Jin is fifteen years old, she has a peaceful personality, she is indisputable, a submissive, quiet image of a little woman, a fifteen-year-old girl seems to be too honest and mature, maybe marrying the same person with her sister makes her feel pressure!

Guangxu doesn't care about those, he never hides his feelings, reconciles different opinions between the three concubines, enhances understanding, deepens feelings, and must press the inside! Guangxu didn't want his backyard to catch fire on the road to the rise of China.

The second day of the second month of February is the day when the traditional festival dragon raises its head, and today is also the day of the pilgrimage, also known as "visiting the aunt", that is, "the ugly daughter-in-law wants to see her in-laws", the emperor's profession has its particularity, that is, the emperor generally has to die first, and the emperor can only ascend the throne, so after the general emperor's wedding, there is only one "aunt" in this step, and the queen and concubines led by Guangxu worship Cixi alone.

First of all, the emperor took the queen's concubines to Cixi's Cining Palace, and the queen took Ruyi and apples and handed them to Cixi, which means that this daughter-in-law brought Ruyi and peace to the royal family, and after receiving Ruyi and apples, the queen offered tea to Cixi again, Cixi was used, and gave some items to the queen's niece and various concubines.

The old lady Cixi was very happy to give Guangxu back, this is a wife, and each of them has added two maidservants!

At this point, the family ceremony is completed, is the emperor married, and there is a national ceremony waiting for it, but it will be two days later, so Guangxu took advantage of this time to start assigning tasks to the three daughters-in-law, the first is to learn to play mahjong, at first the three wives can't play, they can't learn at all, the emperor is very solemn and righteous and strict preaching, the world knows that the husband is a wife.

This learning to play mahjong is a very heavy political task, you will be responsible for the cultural and entertainment life of the Queen Mother in the future, how can you not play mahjong! You must learn, you must learn, on the road of playing mahjong in the future, you must accompany the Queen Mother, you must have skills when you win, make the Queen Mother happy, and you must have means to lose, and you can't let the Queen Mother feel that you are deliberately letting her.

Got it! We must pay attention to whoever fights well in the future, I will be rewarded, and if I don't fight well, I must be punished! The three wives said yes weakly, and the four of them learned in practice!

After playing three laps, Guangxu found that it was still used in learning, and even the worst Jin Concubine played better than him, the emperor's teacher, and soon Guangxu saved the bottom of the loss, and after a long time to make sure, he really didn't have a dime left, at this time Concubine Zhen, this little girl, the emperor's brother! Do you want me to lend you some and let you turn over the book?

Guangxu looked at this little girl with great fear, hum! I am rich all over the world, and I will be short of money!

But I'm tired today, so let's take a rest!

Queen, let's go to bed!

The queen's face turned red, the emperor is not dark yet!

Says who! Sleep until dark!

It's good for you two little girls to avoid the film, and let you live a happy life! Concubine Zhen said that when it comes to the emperor, you are biased!

Guangxu said, if it weren't for the fact that you were too young to raise for two years, you would have been done a long time ago!

The more the queen looked at Guangxu, the more outrageous she became, she ran away alone, Guangxu chased after her, Jingfen, you wait for me!

Two sisters who left a smile at each other!

The fourth day of the first month of February came to the day of "national ceremony celebration", today is mainly Guangxu's matter, first go to the tower of Tiananmen Square, read the congratulatory table, and then issue an edict, announcing that the emperor of the world is married, when the edict is read, there are two teams of people standing below the city tower, one team is a hundred civil and military officials standing at one end of the Jinshui Bridge, and the elder Ban Cui stands on the other side, when the edict is read out, the hundred officials kneel three times and bow nine times, then put down the edict from the tower of Tiananmen Square.

The process of putting down is very interesting, first put the edict in an auspicious cloud, and then put it in the mouth of the golden phoenix, and slowly fall, the edict official will reprint the edict and show the world!

The next thing is to wait, wait for dinner time!

Enter the last activity!

It is also the most lively part of the wedding, which is the "court banquet" held in the Taihe Palace.

There is also a lively singing and dancing performance at the court banquet!

At night, the Taihe Hall is brightly lit, like daytime, all the people are busy, there are already ministers one after another, the emperor's table is placed in the middle position, on the left are the emperor's two fathers-in-law, on the right are the princes and nobles, Prince Alcohol and Qing Wang Ye are sitting in this position, and then there are officials above the third grade sitting on the steps, and below the steps are the officials below the third grade, and the last seat in the west is the seat of the Western countries.

The seats are set according to the hierarchy, so the sum is clear.

When all the officials are present, the bell rings, the auspicious time has arrived, the emperor has arrived, and hundreds of officials have greeted him! After the emperor took his seat, the banquet officially began!

At this time, it is time for the feast, during which various dances are staged in the open space in the middle of the main hall, including dances reminiscing about the hard life of the Qing Dynasty when hunting on Changbai Mountain, Korean dances, Mongolian wrestling and so on!

The most lively is the last one, called "Longqing Dance", which is a dance that all the ministers have to dance, all the ministers dance in pairs, and then toast to the emperor, and after all the toasts, the banquet will come to an end!

When Guangxu was done, the performance began, and then Guangxu began to toast to the old man frequently, the emperor's toast must be a toast, so after a few glasses of wine, some people obviously couldn't support it, among them, represented by the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, it was Concubine Zhen's father!

Guangxu has nothing to do, because he is the emperor, so he only needs to have a move, but as a courtier, he has to drink it!

Guangxu saw that it was almost here, and began to look at the side of the prince and noble, and the prince and prince here looked at Guangxu, and the emperor began to convulsion again!

Guangxu raised his glass and said, everyone drink this glass of wine! These people have always been afraid of drinking, not to mention the wine given by the emperor, and they all raised their glasses!

Done!

Guangxu tasted a little bit and put down the wine glass!

Guangxu saw that Qing Wangye didn't finish the wine in the cup, so he said Uncle Huang, you haven't finished drinking, you can't play Laipi!

In this way, Guangxu is almost used to the relatives and nobles here!

At this time, Guangxu called Defu over, you go and inform me of those "King Kongs". Drink less, and you'll have to do something later!

Defu found Wu Ciren and the remaining few King Kongs on the open-air table outside the main hall, and when he heard that the emperor was looking for him, he was also ready.

After Defu left, Guangxu stood up and said, everyone toasted together, done!

After doing this more than a dozen times, the soles of all the ministers' feet began to flutter.

At this time, Guangxu held a wine glass and met with his King Kongs, and every time Guangxu walked to a table, he told the courtiers that he drank this cup! In the end, the ministers below all remembered in a trance that the emperor came to them, raised their wine glasses and drank, they didn't know how many glasses they drank, anyway, they were drunk.

Guangxu finally walked to the seat of the representatives of the Western countries, and the ministers of various countries followed the delegation to Europe, and those who stayed were some counselors, who saw the Chinese officials in the central area so lively, but they were so lonely here, and they also felt left out, but Guangxu's arrival was different.

First of all, Guangxu said a sentence when he came; “walleetochaine!”

eonbaby!cheers!

The "King Kongs" in the back are stupid, who taught this English!

The ministers of various countries were very surprised, how much effort we had spent in the past! It's hard to see the Chinese emperor, and now this little emperor actually took the initiative to come over and drink with them, and this time I went back to brag about it!

When they were stunned, Guangxu continued to urge; cheers!cheers!

Then Guangxu began to speak Chinese, thank you for coming to my wedding!

On this happy day, it is unpleasant to mention the matter of Nanyang, but our Chinese Empire hopes that this matter can be resolved peacefully, and war is not in the interests of both China and Britain.

After Wang Fengmajesty finished translating, Guangxu said that China hopes to develop relations with other countries in various fields such as economy and trade, politics and military, culture, science and technology, and develop equal diplomatic relations on the basis of the "Five Basic Principles of Peaceful Coexistence", which is in line with the long-term interests of all countries.

Wait for Wang Feng's majesty to finish translating!

Guangxu pointed to Wang Fengma and several other "King Kongs" and said; “thismyfriends!”

I hope we can all be friends!

Cheers!

Guangxu said to Wang Fengma, I just expressed it very clearly!

The emperor said it very clearly!

Have a good chat with them, and be able to give support for the general direction of the visit!
