On the eighteenth day of the seventh lunar month, the auspicious day chosen by the Qin Tianjian, everything is in order.

The officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple were all out. Almost all the eunuchs and palace maids that could be used in the palace used them. The tens of thousands of pieces of red silk that were transferred were used to cover the yellow glazed tiles of the palace. The door copper nails, lanterns, porch pillars, and even the end of the Yulin warrior’s spear were all tied with red silk, to show the emperor’s marriage and war, peace and benevolence.

According to the etiquette of the state of Chu, the emperor’s wedding must be presided over by the second envoy.

It is the most suitable person to be able to choose a person from the royal family. However, if it was a few days ago, the King of Huainan was naturally the best person to do his part, but the change of the imperial mausoleum happened, and it changed naturally. After choosing the main envoy, Ma Lan of the Zhenguo Company eventually served as the main envoy, while the deputy envoy was naturally served by Yuan Lao Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.

In the early morning of the 18th day of the seventh lunar month, when the sky was just dawn, the gate of the palace was already open. Two burly soldiers were holding gourds, jades, golden stoves, incense boxes, etc., and behind them was the eunuch who led the team in a sauce-colored robe, holding high the empress. The nine-winged screen fan, thirty-six people carried a huge golden jade chariot, and the Yulin warrior with a long halberd opened the way, slowly set out from the palace, and went to the Yuan Mansion, Minister of Rites.

The procedures for an emperor to marry a wife are similar to those of civil adoption, asking for names, and accepting levies, but the details are much more cumbersome, and the use of human and material resources and the impact on the world are naturally not comparable to the marriage of the common people.

The process of asking for the name of Nace has already been passed by officials of the Ministry of Rites on behalf of the emperor. According to the ritual system, the emperor does not have to go out of the palace to marry in person. After all, the emperor is the son of the emperor, the honor of the ninety-five, and it is easy to not drive, so the envoy and deputy of the big wedding The envoy executes this procedure on behalf of the emperor.

Princess Tianxiang of Dongqi was not from the state of Chu, and it was naturally difficult for the team to go out to the foreign embassy to welcome the relatives, so the Ministry of Rites had discussed it beforehand. The Office of the Minister of Rites to marry Princess Tianxiang.

The people of the capital naturally knew the day of the emperor’s big wedding, so the guard of honor to marry the queen had just left the palace, and the streets were already full of thousands of people.

This kind of scene was also expected, so the Kyoto Prefecture and Tiger God Camp had already made preparations, and there was a post two steps away, which separated the people watching the lively from the people who depended on it. Cleared out a smooth road, so it did not delay the time of the honor guard.

The crowd was so crowded that it was inevitable that someone would fish in the troubled waters, reach out to steal some money, or take the opportunity to touch the little daughter-in-law’s butt.

The big wedding is the Zhenguo Company. Although Ma Lan is very old, but his responsibility is to hold a roll of bright yellow silk with both hands high and walk at the front of the honor guard. The deputy envoy Yuan Laoshangshu is also there. Behind them, the two of them looked solemn and did not look sideways. In the respectful gazes of the onlookers, they also walked forward without rushing.

One of the considerations for arranging Princess Tianxiang in the Office of the Minister of Rites was the issue of the road.

The Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites was not far from the imperial city. After all, the two envoys of the emperor’s wedding were very old, and according to the etiquette system, they could never ride a car or ride a horse. Therefore, if the journey was too long, the two old ministers would not be able to support them.

Marrying the queen of the empire was naturally a no-brainer. This time, there were dozens of courtiers who accompanied the honor guard to welcome the wedding, and Qi Ning was also on the list.

Qi Ning himself is a Jin Yihou, and he is the official envoy who went to Dongqi to seek marriage. Now, he is naturally indispensable to marry Princess Tianxiang.

Like other officials, Qi Ning can only walk on foot. Although there are many officials, Qi Ning is still very conspicuous in the crowd. He can become an important official of the court, and he is not young. In the front, so there are many eyes.

The welcoming team arrived in a mighty manner at the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites, and the Yuan family had already made preparations.

The prince of Dongqi said that he was dressed in fancy clothes, and the officials who led the delegation of Dongqi had already been waiting 30 feet outside the gate of the mansion. The old and young of the Yuan family also followed in the team. Yuan Rong was also dressed in brocade, and followed the crowd. Inside, seeing the mighty procession of the Son of Heaven welcoming his relatives, drum music was immediately played outside the gate of Yuan Mansion, and a gong and drum band composed of hundreds of people played, resounding through the sky.

Yuan Lao Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites raised his hand and motioned for the team to stop, while Ma Lan of the Zhenguo Company stepped forward, slowly unfolding the yellow silk in his hand, and said loudly: “The imperial decree is here, the Prince of Qi will accept the decree!”

Prince Duan Shao of the Eastern Qi lifted his brocade robe, bowed his head, and everyone behind him knelt down and bowed to the ground.

The yellow silk was unfolded, and Sima Lan slowly read: “Fengtian transport, the emperor’s edict said: I inherit the order of the sky, Qin Shaohongtu, the way of the country, and the family is the foundation. The relationship between husband and wife and the righteousness of heaven and earth are actually worshipped by the relatives. The respect, the sincerity of cooperation and support, and the sincerity of support, the most important thing. Today, I send an envoy to hold the festival and choose it with courtesy. I hereby call Princess Tianxiang of the Qi Kingdom as the queen, and I order the ministers to hold the festival and honor the treasures.

After reciting the imperial decree, Duan Shao bowed three times and respectfully accepted the imperial decree with both hands, but his face was full of energy.

In the sound of gongs and drums, the female official helped Princess Tianxiang, who was wearing a phoenix crown and robe, out of the mansion, and gave a golden jade chariot carried by thirty-six people, and Duan Shao, the prince of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, would also enter the palace with him.

This time Princess Tianxiang was married to the state of Chu, but the state of Qi also carefully selected thirty-six servants of the palace maids. These palace maids will also follow Princess Tianxiang into the palace and serve around them.

Surrounded by the female officials, Princess Tianxiang came out of the house, walked in front of Duan Shao, and bowed to Duan Shao three times. Now she is in a foreign country, the monarch of Qi State is not in front of her, her eldest brother is her father, and Princess Tianxiang bows to Duan Shao. That is, say goodbye to your parents, marry away and go out.

Duan Shao stepped forward to help Princess Tianxiang, but there was a bit of emotion between his eyebrows. After three bows, the female official helped Princess Tianxiang to the golden jade carriage, and Yuan Lao Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites shouted: “Kneel down to welcome the queen. !” The first one knelt down, and the ministers who came to greet the relatives immediately lifted their robes and fell to the ground.

The queen is the mother of a country, and the emperor issued the imperial decree of canonization. Although Princess Tianxiang has not yet entered the palace, she is already a righteous Empress of Chu. As a minister of the state of Chu, it is natural to bow down to the queen of her own country.

Ma Lan of the Zhenguo Company frowned, hesitated for a while, and finally knelt down.

After the female official brought Princess Tianxiang to the jade carriage, Sima Lan took the lead in getting up, and Yuan Lao Shangshu also got up and said loudly: “Follow the queen, get up!”

Thirty-six burly men got up almost at the same time and lifted the golden jade chariot steadily. The twenty female officials arranged by the state of Chu served on both sides of the jade chariot, while the thirty women who followed Princess Tianxiang came to Chu state. The six attendants were divided into three teams of twelve, each lined up neatly behind the jade carriage.

The thirty-six accompanying ladies are not all young and young. Twelve of them are around forty years old. Everyone knows that although these older ladies are not as youthful and beautiful as the young ladies, they are bound to behave in the world. There are many experienced people, and there are many beauties in the harem of the state of Chu. The state of Qi sent these palace maids, naturally, to make Princess Tianxiang foolproof in the court of the state of Chu.

The guard of honor with golden melons and jade Laos walked at the front to clear the way, followed by the guard of honor of eunuchs holding nine-winged screen fans, followed by the golden jade chariot where the queen was, and ten female officials on the left and right supported the golden jade chariot slowly. , followed by thirty-six palace maids of the state of Qi. Behind the palace maids, Sima Lan took the lead, followed closely by Yuan Lao Shangshu, and Qi Ning was a few steps behind Yuan Lao Shangshu.

Qi Ning knew in his heart that the wedding ceremony had only just begun to welcome Princess Tianxiang from Yuan Mansion. Once he entered the palace, all the ceremonies that followed were like a feather in the sky.

After walking for a while, Qi Ning felt that something was wrong. According to reason, after marrying Princess Tianxiang, he had to return directly to the palace. Qi Ning knew the way back to the palace, but the team in front suddenly turned to another road. , obviously not the way back to the palace.

He was a little strange. When he saw Su Zhen, the Marquis of Wuxiang, he couldn’t help but ask in a low voice, “Marquis Wuxiang, where are we going?”

The Marquis of Wuxiang was startled, and whispered, “Don’t you know Jinyihou? After marrying the queen, you have to go to the palace of Zhenguo. Today, not only will you marry the princess of Qi, but you will also welcome the eldest lady of the Sima family. in the palace.”

Qi Ning frowned, “Sima Wanqiong?”

Su Zhen nodded slightly, and Qi Ning wondered: “This is a little wrong. How can you marry the queen, but then go to marry another woman? Even if you get married on the same day, you should send another team over to marry. ”

The team walked slowly, winding like a long dragon. Qi Ning saw that there were soldiers standing on both sides of the road leading to the Duke’s Mansion, and thought that they had already been prepared.

Su Zhen chuckled lightly, got closer, and said in a low voice, “Send another team? To marry Princess Qi, the important officials in the court have already come, who should the other team send?”

Qin Ning immediately understood.

Sending a team to marry Princess Tianxiang, whether it is the status of the empress or the honor of the state of Qi, the important officials of the state of Chu must be in the team to marry the queen. In this way, even if another team is sent to Sima’s house, it will be They were all low-ranking officials, and the Sima family certainly didn’t want to be in such a situation.

“According to the etiquette system, only when the queen is married will a wedding team be sent.” Su Zhen said in a low voice, “Although the Sima family is an important official of the imperial court, the emperor has not yet issued a decree to establish Sima Wanqiong as the emperor. Concubine, the Sima family should directly send the young lady into the palace, and there will be no ceremony, hehe… The key is that Sima Wanqiong was born in the Sima family, so she will be so aggressive, but I heard that this is the queen mother. Meaning, since there is a will, let’s follow it.”

Qi Ning sneered inwardly, thinking that it was the case, the Sima family had let Sima Wanqiong enter the palace on the same day as the empress, and it was already very inappropriate. Today, the empress’ jade carriage had to be folded halfway to the Sima Mansion to welcome her. Really disregarding etiquette.

It’s just that the team moved forward in an orderly manner at this time, and Qi Ning didn’t have many troubles. He raised his eyes and looked at Sima Lan. Although the old man’s beard and hair were all white, he seemed to be in good spirits at this time, and he was still walking. Square gait.

Qi Ning was bored and lazy, so he turned his eyes and saw that in front of Sima Lan was the group of palace maids of Qi State. However, the older palace maids were all wearing dark red wedding dresses. In front of the three teams of Qi Kingdom’s palace maids were young maids, while the older maids were all in the back.

At this time, his eyes fell on the last palace maid at will. The palace maid let out a dark red dress. Naturally, she was an older palace maid, but looking from the back, the palace maid’s figure was not bad, although the bloated red makeup could not make it The palace maid’s figure was completely exposed, but while walking, the palace maid’s gait was enchanting, her waist was swaying slightly, and her buttocks wrapped in the red dress were full and plump, swaying and swaying.

Qi Ning couldn’t help sighing in her heart, thinking that when this palace maid was young, even if she wasn’t a stunning beauty, she was definitely a stunner with all kinds of charms. Alluring femininity.
