Fu Jian's queen Gou is from Fu Jian's maternal family, the Gou family, and her status is prominent, and she married Fu Jian when she was young. However, Queen Gou's family is very low-key, usually living in Jingyang Palace, living in a simple house, and not asking about things in the palace! The affairs of the palace are all in charge of the crown princess, and the crown princess Shan Li is the concubine of the crown prince Fu Hong.

Soon after entering the Qin Palace, he caught up with the Qin Palace to hold a silkworm ceremony. The silkworm ceremony is presided over by the queen, who leads the concubines to worship the ancestors of the silkworm god and collect mulberries to feed silkworms, so as to encourage the people to be diligent in the etiquette of weaving.

The silkworm ceremony is scheduled to take place on the first day of March, and participants are required to fast two days in advance. In these two days, all the concubines only ate vegetarian food and did not eat meat, and the Wutong Hall was no exception.

Finally, on the day of the silkworm ceremony, the queen took the concubines to the silkworm altar located in the northern suburbs. The queen was dressed in a special bow robe, and all the concubines were also wearing court clothes, and the atmosphere was very sacred.

First of all, worship the ancestor of the silkworm god, under the leadership of the queen, everyone performed six su, three kneels, three bows, the whole scene is magnificent.

After worshipping the silkworm god, the bow ceremony begins. Some officials had already prepared the hooks and baskets for bowing to the mulberry ceremony. The queen used a gold hook, the crown princess used a silver hook, and the other concubines all used iron hooks.

The bowing ceremony began, everyone walked into the mulberry field, and everyone looked at the queen intently. As an example of women in the world, she should be the first to pick mulberry leaves. But before the queen started, she only heard a beautiful voice like a yellow warbler, which turned out to be the crown princess Shan Li! She actually took the lead in singing the song of picking mulberry and picking mulberry leaves! Not only that, but she also put the collected mulberry leaves into a yellow basket where only the queen could put mulberry leaves.

The concubines were stunned for a while, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know if I should continue. Seeing that Queen Gou didn't have a seizure, she cleared her throat and continued to pick up the golden hook to pick mulberry, Xu is strength was too small, the mulberry leaves were not picked, and she almost stumbled and fell to the ground! The slave maid who was waiting with her hurriedly helped her, only to see that Queen Gou's face was pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. With the help of her attendants, Queen Gou reluctantly picked the mulberry leaves. Seeing this, everyone picked up the iron hook, picked the mulberry also, and put it into the red basket beside them. All the concubines were very happy, and they knelt down to worship the queen, wishing this year a smooth wind and rain, and peace and security for the country and the people!

The queen nodded softly and motioned for everyone to get up! Then she said to Shan Li: "The palace is tired, and the next silkworm feeding ceremony will trouble the daughter-in-law!" She said gently.

"Then the concubine is disrespectful!" The crown princess didn't postpone it.

The court musicians played magnificent music, and in the kneeling and heart-wrenching music of the people, Shan Li completed the ** silkworm feeding ceremony.

After completing this, the concubines returned to the palace.

But this silkworm ceremony is not over.

After the silkworm has formed a cocoon, the silkworm woman selects the best cocoon and presents it to the queen, and then the queen presents it to the emperor.

After that, choose an auspicious day, and then the queen herself will reel the silk, make it into cloth, dye it with colorful colors, and make it into an auspicious costume! It is considered to have completed the whole process of the silkworm ceremony.
