Chapter 2433 Marry an ancestor to be a queen(1/3)

By noon, Zhu Houzhao still didn't wait for the wedding team and became more anxious.

Zhang Yuan went out to find out the news and didn't reply. Xiao Guozi didn't know how to deal with it. Zhu Houzhao was like an ant on a hot pan, restless.

It was not until the sun began to set westward that Zhang Yuan jogged all the way. Before he could step into the Ganqing Palace, Zhu Houzhao rushed to the door quickly and asked loudly, "How is it, are you here?"

"Here you come."

Zhang Yuan replied excitedly, "The Queen's Colorful Vessel has arrived at Fengtian Gate."

Zhu Houzhao looked happy and said, "I'll go over to welcome you now."

Zhu Houzhao's reaction surprised Xiao Tiaozi and thought to himself: "No, Miss Chen is obviously a little girl movie. His Majesty married Miss Chen mainly to win over Master Shen. Besides, His Majesty had never been interested in the yellow-haired girl before, so why are he so anxious to see Miss Chen this time?"

Zhang Yuan said: "Your Majesty, since you have not left the palace to marry the queen, it is not convenient for you to greet him in person... Your Majesty should immediately change into a crown robes and go to Fengtian Hall to wait... The Queen must wait outside Fengtian Gate for the imperial order. You must send someone to summon him so that the colorful carriage can enter Fengtian Gate."

Zhu Houzhao was a little surprised and asked, "Is this really the case?"

Zhang Yuan looked a little embarrassed and thought to himself: "This is not the first time that Your Majesty has married the queen, why don't you even know some basic etiquette?"

After thinking about it, Zhang Yuan understood.

Before, the emperor's marriage was completely handled, so that Zhu Houzhao had no right to choose. At that time, Zhu Houzhao adopted a strategy of refusing to cooperate, and he has not yet had sex with Empress Xia.

Xiao Tiaozi said, "Your Majesty, that's right."

Zhu Houzhao shook her sleeves and said loudly: "What are you waiting for? Come find my crown quickly, I will change my clothes here, and then go to Fengtian Palace!"

...

...

Zhu Houzhao had been waiting in the Ganqing Palace, thinking that all etiquettes would be completed in the Ganqing Palace. When he knew the rules, he hurriedly changed into sacrifices to the heaven and earth, the ancestral temple, and the country. He first held a canonization and could only wear a black crown garment during the wedding. He took Xiao Tiaozi and Zhang Yuan to Fengtian Palace, and only then did he know that the ceremonial guards had been arranged here, and he and Chen Yier appeared.

Although Zhu Houzhao did not have the intention of a banquet for the ministers, there were still a large number of officials from the Ministry of Rites and the inner court waiting. When the Minister of Rites Fei Hong saw Zhu Houzhao coming, he hurried over to salute. He had been waiting here for a short time.

As soon as Zhu Houzhao met, he asked unhappily: "Shangshu Fei, why didn't you send someone to the Qing Palace to inform me? I didn't know I was coming, otherwise I wouldn't have been waiting there in a hurry... Didn't it delay the auspicious time?"

Fei Hongdao: "No delay."

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "What are you waiting for? Let's start."

Fei Hong quickly called the person who sent the order to Fengtian Gate to read the order to enthrone the queen. The female official sent the Nine Dragons and Four Phoenix Queen's crown that had been prepared long ago to Fengtian Gate, wore the phoenix crown on the head of the queen, and then welcomed it by the guard of honor, and welcomed the queen and her party to Fengtian Hall in the blowing and playing of the female drum craftsman.

...

...

In front of Fengtian Palace.

Zhu Houzhao stood on the high steps and looked down from above. At this time, the queen had already walked down the colorful carriage and was guided by the female official and eunuch, heading towards Fengtian Hall.

The sound of drums and music is pleasant!

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but want to go down to greet him, but was reminded by Zhang Yuan, Xiao Taozi and others to stay on the steps and wait.

When the new queen walked to the steps of Fengtian Hall and Yingying bowed down, Zhu Houzhao almost shouted "No gift". Suddenly, she remembered that it seemed that he had nothing to do at this moment, because even if he shouted, in such a noisy environment, the people below could not hear it.

Originally, the emperor and the queen should have ascended the stairs together, but because Zhu Houzhao had not left the palace, the new queen had to go up the stairs by herself.

After waiting for Chen Yier to climb the platform and walking to Zhu Houzhao, Fei Hongcai came over to salute: "Your Majesty, the wedding can be held."

Zhu Houzhao looked at Chen Yi'er, who was covered with phoenix crown and red veil. Although she couldn't see the appearance behind the pearl curtain, her eyes were a little straight and she said casually: "What are you waiting for? Let's start!"

Then the drums and music changed, and Zhu Houzhao and Shen Yier walked to the incense table. The wedding was different from the couple who worshiped the heaven and earth and the high hall together. The emperor did not need to bow down at this time, but the queen walked to the incense table and bowed down four times, and then the official promulgation of the imperial edict and the title of the empress was given.

Originally, the new queen should have rewarded the female officials who attended the wedding and the people in the Ministry of Rites who were responsible for the marriage in the second volume of the female officials' guidance. However, because Chen Yier was not an orthodox queen, she set the "Empress of the West Palace" while having the queen, many rules could not be implemented.

After the enthronement edict was read out, Zhu Houzhao turned his head and asked, "What should I do now?"

This question made the people present embarrassed, and even Chen Yier was a little dissatisfied and muttered: "I recited the etiquette for several days, but found that the actual one was very different. Don't you ask beforehand?"

The voice was not loud, only Zhu Houzhao, Zhang Yuan, Xiao Tiaozi, and the female official standing beside him could hear it, but he would not react as a slave. Only Zhu Houzhao looked at Chen Yier with an awkward expression.

Fei Hong explained: "Your Majesty, it's time to go to Fengxian Palace to worship the late emperor."

...

...

Because the enthronement of the queen has been completed, the work of the foreign official has almost ended, and the rest can be handed over to the internal official.

Zhu Houzhao took the new queen to Fengxian Temple to worship the old Zhu family temple. This was also part of the wedding, and it was regarded as telling the new queen about the arrival of the ancestors.

Although Chen Yi'er has certain problems with legitimacy, since Chen Yi'er is determined to be the queen, she is qualified to visit Fengxian Palace, which is also a reality that others cannot change.

No matter what legality issues Zhu Houzhao was, he was always used to doing whatever he wanted. Even if he wanted to take Chen Yier's hand and walk together, Chen Yier put his hands in front of him, as if he hadn't seen Zhu Houzhao reaching out his hand.

Zhang Yuan quickly stretched out his arm: "Your Majesty, let me help you."

Only then did Zhu Houzhao realize that he could not walk hand in hand with the new queen. If he followed his ideas, it would be the most warm and romantic to go to Fengxian Palace with his new queen or carrying it.

When the emperor and the new queen left in front of Fengtian Hall, Fei Hong breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the pressure on his shoulder suddenly disappeared, and muttered to himself: "I finally handed over the trouble to the inner officials!"

...

...

As Fei Hong thought, the emperor's performance on his wedding day can be described as a whole lot of confusion.

Zhu Houzhao married the queen, but she didn't understand the rules at all. She didn't even want to obey some simple etiquette and did things at will, which made the people below not know how to deal with it.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites finished their errands and began to withdraw the ceremonial guards. Fei Hong left the palace with a relaxed attitude.

However, the inner officials were going to have a headache for a while. Gao Feng and Zhang Yong were in a state of consuls as chief and deputy envoys to welcome the bride, and were in a state of great anxiety.

When Zhu Houzhao worshipped the First Palace, no one dared to care about the number of steps and the number of bowing etiquettes. The emperor was used to being willful, and the new queen seemed to not follow the rules. The two were like children. This world-renowned wedding seemed to be just to play house, without caring about the slightest demeanor.

Fortunately, there is an inner palace in the palace, and there are no foreign ministers present, so it is understandable even if the emperor and the queen make some small mistakes.

After the visit, Zhu Houzhao asked Zhang Yuan, who was standing beside him, and said, "Can you go back to the Ganqing Palace now?"

Zhang Yuan said: "Your Majesty, it's time to go to Jiaotai Hall."

"Then lead the way."

Zhu Houzhao first shouted at Zhang Yuan, then looked at Chen Yi'er with a smile and said, "Empress, go to Jiaotai Hall with me, and I will be in the bridal chamber there tonight."

"snort!"

Chen Yi'er answered Zhu Houzhao in this way.

Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt a chill on her back and realized that it was not easy to get a wedding with Chen Yier. He suddenly remembered his previous promise to Chen Xi. If Chen Yier refused to submit, he could not force it. Moreover, Chen Yier had the right to leave the palace and get along with the emperor by himself.

When Zhu Houzhao went to Jiaotai Hall with Chen Yier, he felt a little upset: "I won't welcome the queen into the palace on the first day, and I'll divorce the queen that night, and then be ridiculed by the people of the world?"

After thinking about it, he breathed a little relieved and thought to himself: "The Shen family is so decent, and Secretary Chen is my husband again, so he will not make things difficult for me."

Then he felt something was wrong again, his body trembled suddenly and his eyes widened: "No, the problem now is not whether Shangshu Chen will make things difficult for me, but the little ancestor in front of him... She will not tell me the rules. If she wants to do whatever she wants, what should she do?"

Zhu Houzhao and Chen Yier were surrounded by crowds to Jiaotai Hall. The wedding room was ready at this time, but the emperor and the new queen were not busy getting on the dragon bed, but had to drink Jiaobao first.

The whole ceremony seemed very complicated. The emperor and the queen sat opposite each other. The eunuch presented it to the emperor and the queen with a tray of dishes. The female official filled the four golden lords with wine and handed them over to the emperor and the queen to drink.

A glass of wine does not require real hooking, just drink it opposite one.

For Zhu Houzhao, drinking is not a strange thing, and drinking a few glasses is nothing, but Chen Yi'er had never drunk alcohol before. After drinking Liangjue, she felt her face hot and her head began to feel dizzy.

After drinking, Zhu Houzhao and Shen Yier started eating dishes.

Zhu Houzhao was not interested in dishes, but Chen Yier picked up the chopsticks and ate a few bites like the dish on the tray in front of him.

Then there is a staple food, that is, rice.

Chen Yi'er took a few more bites before temporarily suppressing the dizzy drunkenness.

"It's almost done?" Zhu Houzhao didn't want someone to disturb his and Chen Yier's good things, so she asked Gao Feng, who was hosting the wedding next to her.

Gao Feng hurried forward: "Your Majesty, there are still some etiquettes that have not been completed."

Zhu Houzhao said: "Where are so many etiquettes? When is it time? Should I be alone with the queen?"

"ah!?"

Gao Feng was very surprised and didn't think it was too late now. After all, the sun was hanging high outside. Is the emperor anxious to have a wedding chamber with the new queen?

Gao Feng wanted to say something, but Zhang Yuan interrupted at this time: "Your Majesty said it can be simplified and simplified, and you can complete the important tasks."

Gao Feng said: "Old slave obeys the order...you can come here."

But seeing the eunuchs and female officials who accompanied the emperor and Shen Yier to attend the wedding, they all came over and knelt in two rows, Zhu Houzhao frowned and asked, "What, are you going to ask for reward?"

Gao Feng replied, "Reply to Your Majesty, according to the etiquette, 'The emperor's obedience is the food of the queen, and the subordinate is the food of the queen', which means that you and the empress will reward all slaves with food."

The meaning of Gao Feng's dialect is that during this wedding, the entourage around the emperor would eat the leftover food that the queen had, while the female officials and eunuchs on the queen would eat the leftover food that the emperor had, and there should be no leftover food.

Zhu Houzhao waved her hand: "Hurry up."

There was not much food prepared, but there were many servants present at the wedding ceremony. They had meals on the spot, but not much was given to each person, and after eating, they still felt that they were still unsatisfied.

"what else?"

Zhu Houzhao asked irritably when she saw that she had eaten almost the meal.

Gao Feng said: "You can enter."
