Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it came to the longevity festival of Xia Rui, that is, March 18 of the first year of Tianyuan.
On this day, Yun Xiaotian got up before dawn, and the entire middle palace was busy from the moment the rooster crowed.
The palace people first dressed Yun Xiao, waited for Yun Xiao to put on the queen's red phoenix tail court dress, and then, helped Yun Xiao to the main hall of the middle palace, here, Yun Xiao was an hour earlier than usual, accepted the concubines' greetings, and explained to the concubines the matters that need to be paid attention to today's Halloween with great majesty.
After the concubines and concubines say goodbye, there will be a special master of ceremonies to take them to the prescribed palace to wait for the official start of the Wanshou ceremony, and Yun Xiao needs to be in the middle palace, in coordination with the four emcees in charge of meals, services, jewelry, and utensils in the internal affairs office, and finally check the process of today's Wanshou Festival.

On the day of the Wanshou Festival, Xia Rui also needs to get up earlier than usual, put on court clothes, and, according to the ancestral system of the Great Xia Kingdom, after a simple breakfast, he needs to take the dragon to the Taimiao, enter the Taimiao with the queen (Yun Xiao), and sacrifice his age, merits, heirs, and plans for the future to the ancestors of the Great Xia Kingdom.
After performing the rituals in the Taimiao, he and Yun Xiao rode back to the Taiji Hall with the dragon.
Due to the difference between inside and outside, Yun Xiao will go to the side hall of the Taiji Hall to wait under the guidance of the palace people, while Xia Rui will receive congratulations from the civil and military officials in the main hall of the Taiji Palace.
The Ministry of Rites will take out the congratulatory message prepared in advance, read it aloud in the main hall, and then the singers of the orchestra will play an ode, and another ceremonial official will read aloud next to him, the merits created by Xia Rui after succeeding to the throne, even if there is no merit, the ceremonial officials will follow the old practice, write some high-sounding words, or deliberately exaggerate the deeds of the emperor, in short, it is necessary to make the opening ceremony of this Halloween lively, festive.
The most important celebration of the Wanshou Festival is naturally the banquet at noon.
At noon, Xia Rui will hold a banquet in the Guangxian Palace.
At that time, he would take Yun Xiao a quarter of an hour in advance to sit on the Danqi outside the Guangxian Palace, where he would accept the congratulations of the concubines.
Today's sunshine is very good, hitting all kinds of beautiful flowers outside the Guangxian Palace, just in time with today's lively festival.
Yun Xiao and Xia Rui sat at the top of the banquet together, raised their eyes and swept away, only to see that the concubines of the palace today were extremely energetic, and it could be seen that they had been carefully dressed.
However, due to the reception of envoys from the four countries, there was not much time left for the concubines to speak.
As soon as noon arrived, the civil and military officials took their seats under the Danqi, and there were many women who followed their adults into the palace to see the excitement.
