The first day of the sixth month of the third year of Shenwu

The Taiji Palace was lit up, and all the palace maids and eunuchs changed into bright red festive palace clothes, making the palace look full of joy.

In the era of polygamy like the Great Zhou, even ordinary people, marrying a wife will be grandly done and pompous.

As for concubines? You can't even use the word "marry", you can only call it "Na", and the status is naturally not the same.

The emperor got married, married the queen, at least it was the master of the harem, and at the big it was the mother of a country, and it was the mother of the world, and the ceremony was naturally grand, and it couldn't be grander, and the pomp was so big that Ma Jin felt troublesome.

What is Nacai, asking for names, Najib, enlistment, invitation, and personal welcome, the six rites are indispensable, even if he is the supreme emperor.

Of course, as the emperor, it is naturally impossible to greet his relatives in person, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites are busy with the operation.

You must know that the scene of the emperor's wedding is rare in the Great Zhou, because most of the emperors of the Great Zhou have been married before ascending the throne, so the officials of the Ministry of Rites are only arranged according to the records in the classics, and they have not seen it with their own eyes at all.

The officials who watched the ceremony also looked around happily, this emperor's wedding was also the first time they had seen it, so they were naturally extremely curious, and by the way, they could also eat a royal banquet, why not do it.

It didn't take long for the officials of the Qin Heavenly Prison to shout that the auspicious time had come!

Ma Jin dressed in a costume surrounded by chamberlains, palace maids, and officials, made a grand appearance, and walked into the Hanyuan Hall to take a seat in the music.

The ministers of civil and military affairs bowed to the ground, and the mountains shouted long live.

Wang Chengen was on the east side of the imperial steps, read out the wedding edict loudly, appointed the eldest grandson Wuji, Xie Xuan as the main and deputy envoys, went to the queen's house to pick up, ask for the name, in the sound of music, the two angels feasted, edicted.

Then the envoy and the deputy envoy held the edict, and the honor guard and drum band opened the way in front, starting from the Hanyuan Palace, and rushed to Zhou Qiang'er's house for the fourth salute and the levy.

After arriving at Zhou Qiang'er's house, the eldest grandson Wuji and Xie Xuan showed the gift book to Zhou Zong, Zhou Qiang'er's father.

After the fourth ceremony, the fifth ceremony began, and the two matchmakers told Zhou Zong that today was the good day for the wedding, and Zhou Zong naturally agreed.

This is all etiquette, of course, it was discussed in advance, and the time of the wedding has already been announced to the world after Qin Tianjian has calculated it, how can Zhou Zong object.

It took a lot of time to toss back and forth, and the last of the six rites, "personal welcome", will finally come tomorrow.

Of course, the emperor naturally did not have to condescend to the dignity to go in person, but to take the queen to Fengming Palace, there are also very cumbersome etiquette procedures, which need to be done by him personally.

The next day, the official sent by the emperor to welcome the family to the Zhou Zong Mansion, the welcome book is to canonize Zhou Qiang'er as the queen's holy decree, to the Zhou Zong Mansion, at this time the ceremonial official Chun Yuyan, who is responsible for the etiquette matters, asked for the holy decree, read it on the spot, and began to welcome the ceremony.

In the backyard of the Zhou Mansion, the female officials took out the queen's dress for Zhou Qiang'er to change, according to the etiquette, the queen should take the Nine Dragons and the Four Phoenix Crowns to wear Zhai clothes, Zhou Qiang'er spent nearly an hour just wearing clothes, although Zhou Qiang'er was mentally prepared for this, but when she took out the clothes to wear, she was still shocked, not only Zhai Yi and the phoenix crown themselves are cumbersome and difficult to wear, but also too many other decorative things to wear.

It took Zhou Qiang'er a long time to get dressed with the help of the female officials. After that, Zhou Qiang'er, with the support of the female official, first went to the hall where the ancestral tablets were enshrined and bowed, and then knelt down to her parents in the courtyard, crying and saying goodbye to her parents.

Then the female official announced: "The queen is out of the cabinet." Zhou Qiang'er sat on the phoenix, and the greeting team turned back to the Taiji Palace, the guard of honor was at the front, the band followed, and then the phoenix followed, and the back was the dowry and other items for the dowry, although it had been announced that the holy decree should be avoided by the people, and the officers and soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses maintained order, but there were still crowds of people on both sides of the road, because the emperor's wedding was really rare, and they all wanted to see the excitement and enjoy it.

After a short time, the welcoming team entered the Shenwu Gate from the Vermilion Bird Avenue, and Zhou Qiang'er, who entered the Taiji Palace, became even more nervous, because she immediately worshiped the emperor and the emperor, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement when she thought of this.

When entering the Shenwu Gate, according to the ceremony, the bell and drum began to sound. Entering the Shenwu Gate is entering the palace, and at this time, a few matchmakers and messengers who welcome relatives will complete their mission, and then it will be up to our protagonist Ma Jin to go out in person.

When Zhou Qiang's phoenix entered the Shenwu Gate bell and drum, Ma Jin walked out of the Hanyuan Hall to greet him, the phoenix entered from the main gate of the Danfeng Gate to the Hanyuan Hall and got off the sedan chair, and Zhou Qiang'er with a red hijab was supported out by the female official, at this time Ma Jin greeted him, and took Zhou Qiang'er's hand into the Hanyuan Hall for a big ceremony, which is commonly known as the etiquette of worshiping heaven and earth, and the ceremony ended under the witness of the ministers of civil and military affairs

After worshipping heaven and earth, the matter is over for the ministers, and there are still many rituals to be carried out for Ma Jin, Ma Jin and Zhou Qiang'er came out of the Hanyuan Palace, surrounded by a group of female officials and eunuchs, and entered the queen's bedroom, Fengming Palace.

After entering Fengming Palace, Ma Jin personally lifted Zhou Qiang'er's hijab, and finally saw Zhou Ehuang himself, when Zhou Qiang'er was appointed by Ma Jinran as the queen before, but after all, it was only seen from a distance in the main hall, and now when I looked closely, I found that Zhou Qiang'er really deserved the national color, noble and elegant, Qinghua, delicate but elegant, delicate but soft, eyes like autumn waves, mouth like Zhu Ying, nose like hanging gall, Hao teeth fine, noble and incomprehensible. Ma Jin looked at Zhou Qiang'er intently, and was overjoyed in his heart.

While Ma Jin was watching Zhou Qiang'er, Zhou Ehuang was also watching Ma Jin. Although Ma Jin is young, his body is long and straight, although the handsome face has not been taken off childishly, his eyes are deep, the bridge of his nose is straight, and a pair of sword eyebrows are flying obliquely into his temples, which is full of heroism. After putting on the crown robe, the whole person has the bearing of Yuan Zhuyuezhi, and as the lord of a country, he naturally has supreme majesty.

Seeing the emperor and the empress looking at each other quietly like this, the several female officials next to them who were about to perform the ceremony were a little dumbfounded, and waited for a while without stopping, and finally couldn't help but whisper and reminded: "Please Your Majesty change your clothes and make a ceremony." ”

At this time, Ma Jin immediately came back to his senses and changed his skin and clothes under the service of the female official. Zhou Qiang'er also came back to her senses, didn't feel a little shy, and then changed into a phoenix crown shirt and a xia veil.

After the ceremony, the first thing to eat is to eat a small dumpling called "descendants and grandchildren", which means that there are many children and grandchildren. Eat together and then eat longevity noodles, taking the meaning of longevity. Since breakfast, Ma Jin hasn't eaten much, and he has eaten a little snack in the middle, but he is a little hungry at this time, he can't help but eat more to replenish his strength.

After these rituals were finally completed, Ma Jin and Zhou Qiang'er entered the inner hall, and after entering, they changed their clothes again. Ma Jin changed into regular clothes, and Zhou Qianger changed into regular clothes and skirts. Ma Jin couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, it was finally over. It's time to enter the cave room below, the beauty is on the side, Ma Jin can't help but start to get excited, his raging fire has begun to burn.

Finally, when the critical moment came, the female official first served Zhou Qiang'er to undress and enter the red gauze tent, and then Ma Jin entered. When he was about to do a big job, he found that several female officers were still outside, and they had no intention of leaving. Although it is a woman, but when others look and listen, he always feels uncomfortable, Ma Jin feels that this matter is still a private matter between two people. But he also knew that these female officials were out at all times, just in case something unexpected happened to the emperor and empress's wedding night.

Even if he became an emperor, there were many things in the palace that did not suit Ma Jin's wishes. He was lonely and bored at night before, and it was not that he didn't think about quenching his thirst with a few palace maids first, but the eunuch in charge of daily life followed him all the time to make records. The wedding is about to begin, and he doesn't want to have any more troubles so he endures it. Even now, when he spent candles in his cave room, the eunuch in charge of the living note was outside, just outside the bedroom, just like the female official.

It could be seen that Zhou Qiang'er was also a little embarrassed, but fortunately, they drank some wine just now, and both of them were a little drunk and excited. Finally, under embarrassing circumstances, the first Zhou Gong ceremony was completed. Later, when the ceremony of Zhou Gong was carried out again, both of them let go a lot and began to enjoy the joy of fish and water......
