In the second year of the new emperor's accession to the throne, as soon as spring began, the palace and the Ministry of Rites began to officially prepare for the emperor's wedding. Remember for a second [ .. ], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

The emperor's wedding, like the people's marriage, has to go through six links: acceptance, asking for names, naji, recruitment, invitation, and personal welcome. In short, the man asks the matchmaker to come to the door to propose, the two sides take out the production of eight-character divination, and then go to the ancestral temple to ask the good luck, if the eight-character match, the ancestor did not give a bad omen, the man can send the dowry to the door, and then agree on the marriage date, to the time to marry.

Of course, none of these links did not go well. The wedding was scheduled for April 23.

On April 23, Chen Youcong got up at dawn and went to the Fengtian Temple to ascend to the throne and accept the congratulations of the ministers. Then, the emperor sent an envoy to greet his relatives.

The envoy welcomed the emperor's bride to Fengtianmen. Here, the first thing to do is the ceremony of canonizing the empress. A female official wore a special crown of nine dragons and four phoenixes on Zhang Weizhao's head, and after that, Zhang Weizhao was led to kneel in front of the incense case to worship heaven and earth, and then the official read out the edict of sealing.

At this point, Zhang Weizhao officially became the queen of Dayan.

After the canonization was completed, the emperor led the empress to the Fengxian Hall to worship her ancestors.

On this day, Zhang Weizhao didn't know how many roads he walked and how many times he knelt down.

When I return to Kunning Palace in the evening, there are also a lot of etiquette in the cave room, where to sit, how many dishes to eat, and how many glasses of wine to drink.

These etiquettes are too cumbersome, Zhang Weizhao can't remember them at all, just do them one by one. The only thing that impressed me was that the queen's maids were responsible for eating all the leftovers on the emperor's plate in the end, and the emperor's entourage also had to eat the dishes on the queen's plate.

This link is very interesting, I don't know when it was handed down, Zhang Weizhao plans to meet the Empress Dowager next time to ask.

It wasn't until the end of the day, when all the processes were completed, that Zhang Weizhao and Chen Youcong could take off those heavy clothes, wash off the fat powder and sweat, and lie down on the bed.

Before this day, Chen Youcong had a lot of expectations for this. When it really came to this day, he became nervous. Obviously, he has done his homework, but at this time, no matter what he does, he is afraid that Zhang Weizhao will be abrupt.

So when the two of them were lying side by side on the bed, they were silent for a moment before Chen Youcong's hand gently moved over and held Zhang Weizhao's hand.

Zhang Weizhao chuckled.

Chen Youcong squeezed Zhang Weizhao's palm hard and asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Zhang Weizhao said: "Are you nervous? The palms of his hands are sweaty. ”

"I'm so nervous. The slave family is still a delicate flower, so please have mercy. Chen Youcong pinched his throat and said delicately.

Zhang Weizhao couldn't help laughing, finally stopped laughing, turned over and pressed on Chen Youcong's chest: "Call sister, I will hurt you if you call it well." ”

Chen Youcong never thought of calling Zhang Weizhao with this title, but somehow he couldn't say anything, and after a while, he shouted softly: "Sister......" As soon as the words came out, his cheeks immediately became hot, but fortunately, in the dark, Zhang Weizhao would not find out that his face would be so red.

Although this sister was soft, it made Zhang Weizhao's body crisp when she heard it. She suddenly found out that she had secretly wanted Chen Youcong to call her sister for a long time.

"Good job!" She stroked Chen Youcong's cheeks, and naturally found that the tentacles were hot, but she did not laugh at his shyness, but lightly imprinted a lip print with pity.

"Sister, there is something I don't understand, you can teach me well......" Chen Youcong's voice trembled slightly, but at the same time, he hugged Zhang Weizhao tightly with his strong arms.

Zhang Weizhao wanted to answer, but couldn't make a sound. Because her lips had long been blocked by something hot.

The wedding lasted six days. In addition to the canonization and worship of the ancestors on the first day, in the remaining five days, Chen Youcong and Zhang Weizhao wore luxurious dresses and went to bow down to the empress dowager and the empress dowager respectively, and accepted the worship of princes, clans and officials. After all this is done, the wedding is officially over.

Before Zhang Weizhao was married into the palace, it had already spread throughout the city of Beijing, and the emperor had a soft spot for this former Zhaoming real person, and he wanted to marry her as his queen despite all resistance. Therefore, everyone is waiting to see how the emperor will pamper this queen after he gets his wish.

However, despite the psychological preparations, the deep love between the emperor and the queen still exceeded many people's expectations.

The emperor's affection for the empress can no longer be described as favor. The word pampering is too light to describe that kind of deep and sincere friendship.

After getting married, Chen Youcong also used some inherent rituals to express his love for the queen. For example, Zhang Luan was named the Marquis of Shouning, and the Zhang family was given a lot of land.

But what can better reflect the deep affection of the emperor and queen is not such an official article, but a bit of daily life.

What kind of life is it? In fact, it is the ordinary daily life of ordinary couples, that is, eating together, sleeping together, and getting up together every day.

It's just that it's changed to the palace, which is particularly unusual.

The two of them either stayed together in Kunning Palace or Qianqing Palace together, and they never separated for a day. Even if the queen's letter came, the emperor did not shy away from it, and still had to sleep in the same bed.

Chen Youcong wanted to go to court early, so he had to get up and wash before the end of the day. Zhang Weizhao would also get up at the same time, and when Chen Youcong went to the court, Zhang Weizhao would do morning classes in the ashram, meditate and read the scriptures, just like when she was in Feixian Palace.

In order to make it easier for Zhang Weizhao to sit up, Chen Youcong deliberately renovated and decorated the Zhaoren Hall of the Qianqing Palace and renamed it Yixian Palace. In front of the hall, there is an inclined corridor leading to the East Warm Pavilion. After the Yixian Hall was repaired, Zhang Weizhao moved a lot of books and medicinal materials into the side hall and stayed in the hall to enjoy himself. Chen Youcong saw that Zhang Weizhao liked it, so he simply regarded this place as the dormitory of the two of them in the Qianqing Palace, and the Dongnuan Pavilion, which was once used as a dormitory by the previous emperors, is now idle.

Some people secretly watched to see how long the queen and the emperor could stick together. Back then, Jin Ling'er was so obsessed with the first emperor, and the first emperor officially accepted her for less than three months, and began to summon other concubines.

After all, when she didn't seal the concubine at the time of the wedding, she had already given the queen enough face. You must know that when the emperors of the Great Yan dynasties canonized the queen, they would canonize about four concubines at the same time.

Who knew that after the summer passed, it was time for the autumn to be cool, and the emperor not only did not rush to accept new concubines, but spent more time with the queen.

The emperor set up another table in the Maoqin Palace, and when the emperor watched the music on this table, the queen read, wrote, and drew pictures on the table. In this way, the emperor can also see the queen from time to time when he is working.

At the beginning, when the emperor saw the music, he asked the queen to accompany him, but it was just a matter of doing so. But it didn't take long to develop to the point that when the emperor went to Fengtianmen early in the morning, he also took the queen with him, and the emperor began to listen to the government at the imperial gate, and the queen waited in the side hall of Fengtiandian. When the emperor left the court, the two of them returned to the Qianqing Palace together.

The emperor and queen have a good relationship, which is not a problem. But to such an extent that it is unheard of to even have to carry it with the court, it has caused many people to feel uneasy.

The emperors of Dayan have done some outrageous things more or less, but Chen Youcong is the first one to go to court with his wife.

In a society like Dayan that advocates Confucianism and etiquette, if something is abnormal, it is a demon. Therefore, although Zhang Weizhao has never participated in listening to politics, he just waited in the side hall, which has already attracted a lot of malicious speculation.

Some people even speculated that the empress had too much influence on the emperor and would develop ambitions like the Wu clan in the Tang Dynasty in the future.

There was so much discussion about this incident that even the Empress Dowager couldn't sit still. She took advantage of Zhang Weizhao's absence to privately persuade Chen Youcong: "You newlyweds, I can understand that you love each other." But since ancient times, there has been no precedent for the queen to go to court, and if you have to do this, I don't know how many people will talk about it. Now it's just a behind-the-scenes discussion, and there will be officials who will soon be discouraged. Even if you don't care, aren't you afraid to make enemies for Ah Zhao? ”

Chen Youcong frowned and said, "Imperial Grandmother, did someone come to you to chew the root of your tongue?" ”

"Alas! It's good that you know. The first thing people talk about is not that you are confused, but that she is arrogant. ”

"Imperial Grandmother, are you angry about this?"

"What kind of family is grandmother angry with? I'm just worried about you! ”

"The grandson has worried the grandmother!" Chen Youcong lowered her head and apologized to her grandmother.

Although Chen Youcong bowed his head and admitted his mistake, for some reason, seeing his lonely face, the Empress Dowager felt very unbearable in her heart.

It's just that she can't figure it out, it's better for her grandson and granddaughter-in-law to be good, but there's no need not to separate for a moment, right? Chen Youcong used to be a very safe character, why do you have to stick to this point now?

The Empress Dowager couldn't help but think of the situation when Chen Jianjun first succeeded to the throne, and stubbornly insisted on making Jin Ling'er the queen. Although this idea was dispelled, the entanglement between Chen Jianjun and Jin Ling'er made Chen Jianjun's imperial career of more than 20 years full of strife and pain.

And her husband Chen Huaishen, before he succeeded to the throne, he has always shown himself as an open-minded and reasonable person. After succeeding to the throne, the first major decision made in his life was to take the royal conquest of Warat. At that time, no matter who tried to persuade him, it was useless, he just had to do it stubbornly. Later, he was captured, experienced many humiliations unimaginable to ordinary people, and once pushed Da Yan into a very dangerous situation.

The Empress Dowager thought about these things in her heart over and over again, and vaguely realized that there must be something at play behind this similar incident, but what was the reason?

Is it because these men get carried away once they are in power? But these men were her closest relatives, and she knew them well, and knew that they were not the kind of people who were high-flying, but on the contrary, they all had a considerable amount of depression in their personalities.

Or is there some ghost behind it? Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager shuddered.
