Ten miles of red makeup, the whole world celebrates.

Half a month later, the Ming Dynasty ushered in the wedding of the Son of Heaven.

After the national audition to the final three-person competition, the final queen candidate was finalized by today's son Hongji.

After the process of asking the eight characters, accepting the bride price, announcing the auspicious day, and offering the temple and sacrificing the heaven and earth, the wedding was held on September 22.

The splendid Forbidden City is decorated with lights, and the whole palace is full of festive atmosphere, especially the throne set up in the Fengtian Palace, the case system, the festival case, the halogen book, and the celebration gifts sent by the local officials and envoys.

The sun is shining, and it's a rare autumn day.

"I hereby select Chang Yourong, the daughter of the military governor and the governor of Chang Fu, to be the queen, and the secretary and others will be honored with a festival and ask for a famous gift!"

The main and deputy envoys set out from Fengtianmen and walked out of the Forbidden City through the noon gate, and later came to Fengtianmen to put the system and festival cases in the color opinion.

With the palace music playing, the main and deputy envoys removed the court clothes and rode on horseback, led the drum music to welcome the team from the Daming Gate, and went towards the Yongfang in Dashi.

The streets along the way have already been lit up, every household has posted happy words like a festival, and a long red carpet has been laid out on West Chang'an Street.

"The queen takes the public opinion and enters the palace!"

The chief and deputy envoys soon welcomed the queen out of the Changfu, and then the ceremony was magnificent.

The eunuch wearing auspicious clothes led the way, the honor guard of the Lu book was in front, the phoenix driver was in the center, the main and deputy marriage envoys accompanied the left and right, and a group of eunuchs and palace maids followed neatly behind.

"Too far away to see the queen?"

"Our new queen looks like a country and a city!"

"My cousin met at the draft, and I guessed it must be her!"

"My distant aunt also said at the time that as long as there is no insider in this draft, the queen must be surnamed Chang!"

……

Many people in the capital wore new clothes to witness this rare ceremony, although they were blocked by the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, but they couldn't stop their gossip hearts.

Even today, it is difficult to escape the law of "judging the future by appearance", and now among the women who have been snare from all over the world, there is really such a beauty that is rare to see in a hundred years.

It's not that these people in the capital realized it later, and even the people who had to guess Xie Yuan in the Shuntian Township test had already begun to "vote" for the queen, and Chang Yourong has always been at the top of the list.

Things have proved that the eyes of the masses are bright, and Chang Yourong, whom they admire, was really elected as the queen.

Today, the yamen of the whole city is on holiday, so the civil and military officials wearing court clothes are in front of the Chengtian Gate, separated from the east and west sides to greet them.

"I am only the world and the earth are often overloaded, the Qianyuan must be Kunshun, the queen of the king is the teaching of yin and yang, and the rule of the country is based on the family...... I hereby send a special envoy to hold the festival, with the golden book Jin Bao Lier as the queen, the presiding over Changqiu, and the mother of honor Hanxia...... The way of the country, the right family-oriented. The love of husband and wife, the righteousness of Qiankun. Greatly. ”

The new queen Chang Yourong was officially enshrined in front of the case under this door, and under the witness of hundreds of civil and military officials, a crown of nine dragons and four phoenixes was worn on Chang Yourong's head by a female official.

At this moment, she can be regarded as officially becoming the Empress of Daming and the first queen of Hongzhi.

"The ministers send the queen mother into the palace, Chitose, Chitose, Chitose!" When the civil and military officials saw Feng driving to the Forbidden City, they immediately saluted in a proper manner.

Feng drove to the front of the noon gate, and at this time, the main gate of the noon gate had been opened, and there seemed to be an endless royal road in front of him. Enter straight from the central gate of the noon gate, pass through the golden water bridge in the center, and then go straight to the Fengtian Temple.

"Queen Mother, please come out."

A young girl has a peerless face, and her eyes are like autumn water, looking up at the long royal road in front of her, symbolizing wealth and power.

This royal road can only be walked by the emperor, and the queen has and only walks once when she is married, and today she will get the honor that women in the world dream of.

Chang Yourong is wearing a pair of red embroidered phoenix shoes, wearing a set of dark blue phoenix pattern Zhai clothes, wearing nine dragons and four phoenix crowns, and a jade belt hanging jade pendants around his waist.

Starting from the draft at the beginning of the year, she went through six rounds of screening before entering the Forbidden City as one of the three hundred show girls, and then after some competition, she finally became one of the three queen candidates.

Now she has been elected as the Empress of the Ming Dynasty, and her family has been conferred on her, and the whole family has come to the capital from Yunnan to start a new life.

Everything was like a dream.

As the Fengtian Temple got closer and closer, she felt an inexplicable sense of tension, and the beads on the Nine Dragons and Four Phoenixes swayed. These sparkling strings of pearls are all South Sea pearls harvested from Tokyo Bay this year, and they make a crisp sound when they hit.

The pedestal of Fengtian Hall is eight meters high, although there is the support of the palace maid next to it, but when I see that when today's son stands on the top, there is a kind of coercion invisibly.

Often you are in the dilemma of having to maintain your posture without making Your Majesty wait too long, but when you have to speed up, you will inevitably make mistakes.

"You can go slower!" Zhu Youji, who was wearing a Yanyi, had already descended to the first step along the east side of Danxia, and stretched out a hand to hold Chang Yourongdao, who was about to trip.

Chang Yourong's feet were raised too low and almost fell, and he couldn't help but be slightly moved in his heart, seeing such a considerate emperor in front of him, like a good dream one after another.

"Queen!"

"The concubine is here!"

"You are bitter and then sweet today!"

Zhu Youzhu looked at the Fengtian Hall in front of him and said a puzzling word to the queen.

The wedding of the Son of Heaven is very festive, but it is also very cumbersome.

Zhu Youzhu changed into a new crown dress and took the queen to Fengxian Hall to pay homage to the family temple and comfort the ancestors.

Today's marriage has many special features, such as the queen can come in along the royal road, and this time she can follow Zhu Youzhu into the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors.

Even if the emperor is married, he will change into the traditional groom and bridal clothes like ordinary people.

It's just that the emperor and the empress will naturally not exist when they get married, and the two sides hold a joint ceremony, commonly known as drinking a glass of wine.

The husband and wife sat opposite each other, and the deacon lady held a large plate full of vegetables and placed it between the two people, and then the female officer poured wine for the emperor and queen with four pure gold wine glasses, which was called Jinzun wine.

During this ritual, a total of three glasses of wine are drunk, and the process is more complicated, and after each glass of wine, a few bites of food and a few bites of the main food are arranged.

The bride pours a glass of wine and hands it to the groom. The groom takes a sip and gives it to the bride, who drinks it all.

The bridegroom pours a glass of wine and gives it to the bride. The bride takes a sip and gives it back to the groom, who drinks it dry.

At the end of the third glass of wine, the emperor and the empress each poured wine for each other, and then saluted each other.

It's just that the emperor and empress are not ordinary people after all, and they will all have their own henchmen.

It is recorded in the history books that it is called the food of the emperor and the servant of the emperor, and the food of the emperor of the follower. To put it simply, the emperor's attendant wants to eat the queen's leftovers, and the queen's maid wants to eat the emperor's leftovers.

Zhu Youzhu felt strange about this arrangement of "handing over food", but it was also difficult to interfere too much.

In fact, this arrangement is equivalent to elevating the status of the queen, at least so that the people around him can remember who is the queen, like Guo Yong and Liu Jin and others around him, they can be regarded as acknowledging the identity of Chang Rong's mother.

In the same way, the people around the queen must also understand whose food he eats, so they must also be loyal to the son of heaven.

At the end of the ceremony, the bridegroom's and bride's clothes are changed and they return to their regular clothes.

According to the usual practice, the location of the emperor's big wedding cave room was arranged in Kunning Palace.

The cave room is mainly in red style, the door is pasted with red happy characters and couplets, the bed is hung with a hundred child tents, the bed is covered with a hundred child quilts, and the bed head is also hung with a big red curtain embroidered with dragon and phoenix double happiness.

The door of Kunning Palace was closed, and it was an extraordinary night of candles in the cave room.

Although Zhu Youzhu was a little tired, when he saw the peerless beauty sitting on the edge of the marriage bed, the tiredness on his body disappeared inexplicably, and instead gave rise to a bitter expectation.

At this moment, Chang Yourong has changed into the regular clothes worn by the queen, and the bumpy and good identity can be revealed, but he has a big red hijab on his head.

Zhu Youzhu saw Chang Yourong holding his hands nervously, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, reached out and picked up a scale rod on the table, and then came to the bed and gently picked up the big red hijab.

The red wax is light, and the beauty is picturesque.

Chang Yourong has a delicate facial features, his figure is relatively tall, and he has a natural queen atmosphere, especially those eyebrows and eyes are beautiful and majestic.

If a woman is a flower, then at this moment, Chang Yourong ushers in the best season, is blooming the most glorious side, and is the first beautiful bride since the Ming Dynasty.

The advantage of the audition is that the most beautiful woman in the country will be sent here, and she only needs to wash off the dust on her body, and she will be the stunning queen of the world.

"The beauty covers the present and the ancient, and the lotus flower is ashamed!"

Zhu Youzhu couldn't help but praise the beautiful and moving queen in front of him.

It is not the same as the charm of Fan Jinling, the wisdom and generosity of Qingyue, and the liveliness and cheerfulness of Concubine Bei, and the queen in front of her seems to be the most colorful peony flower, with a natural noble temperament.

In fact, although Chang Yourong is a "folk girl", there was once a woman in their family who was posthumously honored as the queen, and she was even after the founding of the country.

It's just that the glory of the ancestors dates back to decades ago, and now Chang Yourong only thinks that she is an ordinary woman, and now when she hears the emperor's praise, she immediately blushes.

Zhu Youzhu noticed that the quilt was sprinkled with red dates, longan and other meanings, so he grabbed a few red dates: "Queen, you didn't eat enough just now, right?" ”

Etiquette is etiquette after all, and this process focuses on the rigor of etiquette, and it is unlikely that you can feed you directly in the process of salutation.

Chang Yourong nodded first, then shook his head.

Zhu Youzhu picked up a red date and put it in his mouth, and joked directly: "You won't be dumb anymore?" ”

"The concubine is nervous!" Chang Yourong responded honestly and crisply.

Zhu Youzhu generously handed over two red dates: "You must be hungry to feel nervous, and you won't be nervous if you eat something to fill your stomach!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chang Yourong knew that this was not because he was nervous, but he still took the red dates and thanked him.

Zhu Youzhu found that the woman in front of him was very good-looking, and continued to eat a red date, so he asked with interest: "Why don't you eat it?" What are you nervous about? ”

"The concubine became His Majesty's queen and became the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the concubine was afraid that she would not do well, and she was afraid that if she did something wrong, she would be disliked by Her Majesty!" Chang Yourong hesitated for a moment, and then said the gains and losses in his heart at the moment.

Zhu Youzhu spit out the red date kernel in his mouth, and said very seriously: "I am actually happy, but I am also a little worried!" This harem is indeed too deserted on weekdays, and after I returned to the palace, I could only live in the Qianqing Palace every night, and now I can come to Kunning Palace to stay for a while. It's just that I'm afraid that after you come in, this harem will suddenly become unpeaceful, if I want to worry about state affairs, and have to deal with the affairs of the harem, it will be really anxious! ”

"The concubines must manage the harem well, and they will not worry His Majesty!" Chang Yourong also wants to be a good helper, even if he seriously guarantees.

A trace of bitterness appeared on Zhu Youji's face, and he looked at Chang Yourong's eyes: "Empress, do you remember the last question I gave to the three of you?" ”

"Remember, did Your Majesty ask the three of us to use all the power we have around us to remove the stone by the lake? The concubine did it! Chang Yourong met Zhu Youji's eyes and responded very seriously.

Zhu Youzhi threw away the remaining red dates, and suddenly reflexively threw his often fragrant body on the bed: "Don't mention this matter, the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold overnight!" ”

The four eyes are facing each other, full of tenderness.

Zhu Youzhu had a feeling of getting what he wanted at the moment, although the last question was not completed very well, but the candlelight girls were eliminated, and then he undoubtedly chose a very desirable queen.

At least tonight, that option looks sensible.

"One more thing?" Chang Yourong, who was suddenly knocked down, had his heart pounding, but he suddenly remembered the unfinished business.

Zhu Youzhu was suddenly confused, and said in confusion: "What's the matter?" ”

"What does Your Majesty mean when you say bitter first and then sweet in front of the Fengtian Palace?"

"I ...... Will let you know! ”

The corners of Zhu Youji's mouth rose slightly, thinking of today's busyness, isn't it just for this moment?

In the huge Kunning Palace, there is a touch of softness in the swaying light of the great joy and red, and the small world on the bed is staging a scene that is not so harmonious.

Autumn is here, and spring will ...... Are you coming?

Life is wonderful, but after it is broken, it seems that I have a new understanding of the world.

Chang Yourong actually didn't quite understand why His Majesty would choose herself who was already in decline, but she was already in this position, so she would try her best to be a good helper.

After all, she and him are really connected.

The night of spring was restless, and Chang Yourong showed a funny smile on his beautiful face, and he took the initiative to hug Zhu Youzhi tightly.

The big wedding ceremony, in fact, has been arranged in the next five days.

It's just that the current empire is still different from the previous dynasties, and has broken the model of sharing the blessings of peace with its neighbors through forbearance, and the Ming Dynasty took the initiative to provoke the war in the southwest.
