In the morning, in the Taimiao, Han Ruzi met the queen Cui Nuan and Cui Xiaojun for the first time. She had accepted the title at home and was considered a formal queen. Her gorgeous and complex court uniforms could not cover her thin figure. The huge phoenix crown on her head was shaking, making her look even more like a child.

The bead curtain blocked the entire face, and Han Ruzi didn't see her.

In fact, the two had no chance to watch each other. They stood side by side, seven or eight steps apart, looking up at the tablet above, listening to the Li Palace chanting the ancestors' tribute in a ups and downs tone. In a solemn atmosphere, they were even stiffer than puppets.

The second time we met was in Cishun Palace. The emperor and the emperor visited the empress dowager here. There was no difference between them in the Taimiao. They were still surrounded by a group of people, and they all followed the requirements of the ritual officials. The empress dowager showed up, but did not speak in person. The female officials around him did it and encouraged the empress.

Next, the queen had another ceremony, and the emperor went to the Qinzheng Hall to accept formal congratulations from princes and ministers. The scale was much smaller than when he ascended the throne, but he received a lot of gifts, and it was very direct, all of which were gold and silver, and the quantity was linked to the level of title or official position. I could not come, and the gifts must be arrived, and the ritual officials must read out one by one.

Han Ruzi sat there bored and thought that if he was a real emperor, he would definitely go and see if the gold and silver really existed afterwards. Now he didn't even know where the royal warehouse was.

In the second list of worshippers, Han Ruzi heard the name of Junyang Hou Huabian, glanced at him and saw a handsome man with a tall figure in the specified position. He looked like he could be from 40 to 70 years old, and was quite eye-catching among the several arrangements of man.

Han Ruzi couldn't think of any servant who looked similar to this person.

Qinzheng Hall is relatively small, and there are not many people coming in each time. He Bai lasted for a long time. Han Ruzi had nothing to do, so she silently ran the reverse breathing method. The abdominal pain had long disappeared, and there was a faint flow of breath in her body, which might satisfy Meng E.

In the evening, the emperor returned to Tai'an Palace to perform the last ceremony of the wedding, and had a meal with the queen, and then he could enter the bridal chamber.

The queen had arrived and sat upright on the brocade mat. The emperor entered the table and sat in the seat. The ritual officer still shouted out every move of the two newcomers. Han Ruzi took the wine glass from a female official, clinked the cup with the queen, and then drank it down with a sting.

No one cares whether the emperor can drink, everything goes according to the rules. A good emperor will never have a sudden idea to change the rules, and even more so will the puppet emperor.

After three glasses of wine, the emperor and the queen symbolically ate several dishes with rich meanings. The banquet was removed, but the ceremony did not end. Ten middle-aged female officials took turns to scatter fallen flowers and fruits on the newlyweds, singing strange songs. Next, two men and one woman, three witches came on stage and used even stranger songs to eliminate evil spirits. Finally, a male ritual officer and a female ritual officer respectively representing the emperor and the queen, making promises and swearing to the gods of heaven and earth. It sounded that the queen would abide by more oaths.

Han Ruzi had only one oath in her heart, that is, not to touch the queen.

It was already dark and the lights and candles were bright. The lengthy ceremony ended. The female officials surrounded the queen and entered the bridal chamber, then left, lined up in two rows, and invited the emperor into the room.

The moment the door was closed behind him, Han Ruzi suddenly realized that he was a little afraid of this moment. The more he suppressed during the day, the deeper his fear was now. Cui Xiaojun was different from the palace maid who taught the way of husband and wife. He was a formal queen who had worshipped the emperor and drank the wine.

They are real couples!

Han Ruzi was afraid of not knowing why she was afraid. The queen was much thinner than the palace maid Tong Qing'e.

Standing at the door for a while, Han Ruzi discovered that Tong Qing'e was standing next to the queen and was looking at the emperor with confusion.

The emperor was also confused, "Why did you... stay?"

"I... ask for a phoenix crown for the queen."

Han Ruzi breathed a sigh of relief. Indeed, the phoenix crown on the queen's head was big and heavy, and she couldn't take it off by herself.

"Is that OK?" Tong Qing'e asked.

"Uh...yes."

Tong Qing'e carefully helped the queen take off the phoenix crown, put it on a plate next to her, and helped the queen take off her heavy wedding clothes, folded them carefully, and then left with her hands holding the phoenix crown.

From then on, no one has done it for the newcomer again

Most of the candles in the room had been blown out, and only one was left beside the bed. The candlelight swayed, reflecting the bride's face blurred. Han Ruzi stood there for a while, walked to the bed, and faced the queen.

It was a pale little girl, with a few strands of hair hanging on her cheeks, her eyes were very big, and her eyes were full of confusion, and she couldn't tell whether she was panic or cold.

After looking at each other for a moment, the queen lowered her eyes.

The embarrassing feeling crawled upward like a vine, gradually tying Han Ruzi's neck, forcing him to say something to ease the atmosphere. He opened his mouth for a while and finally said something: "Are you tired?"

The queen nodded softly, without looking up.

Han Ruzi was still open and was about to say the second sentence, but unexpectedly - he burped.

The burp was very light and short. Han Ruzi hurriedly shut up and held his breath. Not long after, the second burp came out of his throat persistently, and from then on it became uncontrollable. One after another, the harder he tried to hold it back, the more frequent the burp sounds.

The queen looked up and looked at the emperor in confusion.

"Yes...uh...no...uh...I might...uh...a little...uh..." Han Ruzi couldn't continue to say anything.

The queen smiled, "Your Majesty is too nervous."

Han Ruzi shook his head hard. He understood what was going on. It was all because Meng E gave him the pill. It caused abdominal pain a few days ago, and now it brought hiccups again. "I...uh...it's fine later...uh..."

“There is water on the table…”

Han Ruzi hurriedly turned around and ran to the table, picked up the teapot and poured a glass of water, and drank it in small sips, but it was still useless. Once he almost sprayed the water out, he quietly ran the reverse breathing method. Sure enough, the effect was somehow. The hiccups did not stop, but they were not so frequent.

Han Ruzi was shocked by gently stroking his back with one hand, and hurriedly avoided it, saying to the queen: "Don't come over."

Queen Cui Xiaojun raised her right hand and said in confusion: "Yes, Your Majesty. Does Your Majesty really need help?"

Han Ruzi shook her head, and when she was nervous, the hiccup became serious again. He pressed one hand on the table, closed his eyes, and breathed more attentively, trying to pursue the direction of the breath in his body. The hiccups became less and less, and occasionally he would do it again.

He opened his eyes and seemed to be standing by the queen, yawning all over the sky.

"Sorry." Han Ruzi felt very sorry, "You must be exhausted, uh, go to bed."

"Your Majesty, let's rest."

"I...uh...I'm going to stand for a while, you go to bed first."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The queen walked to the bed, lifted a corner of the quilt, gently crawled in, and lay there motionless.

Han Ruzi blew out the last candle, walked towards the chair in the dark, moved away the tables above, and lay on it with no quilt or pillows, and he didn't care. In the silence, he felt that he heard a very slight sigh, which was not disappointment and regret, but relaxation and release.

The young queen was as nervous as he was.

Han Ruzi had something to worry about and was not sleeping well, so she got up very early the next day and tiptoed to the bedside. In the hazy sunlight, she met a pair of big eyes that were slightly frightened.

The queen didn't dare to sleep too much.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Han Ruzi whispered: "Someone will come in and urge us to get up later. I have to...uh..." The hiccup did not stop completely.

The queen nodded slightly and rubbed her into the bed. She obviously slept very honestly, and the quilt had almost not changed much.

Han Ruzi lay in the quilt, thinking about her promise to Donghai King, and found that hiccups were going to become more serious.

There was a knock on the door, "Your Majesty, you can get up."

When he knocked on the door for the second time, Han Ruzi said, "Come in."

Many palace maids entered one after another, and the emperor and the queen entered the life of puppets again, dressed, bathed in different rooms, changed into new clothes, incense, dressed neatly, and went to pay tribute to the Queen Mother.

The queen met the queen mother on the first day of her wedding. The etiquette was still very heavy. The courtyard of Cishun Palace was filled with female officials and deacons and eunuchs. The emperor and the queen knelt outside the door first. The emperor stayed behind, and the queen went into the house alone to receive the queen mother's guidance.

Han Ruzi hopes that the less the queen learns, the better.

There was no figure of Tokai Neptune in the crowd.

The emperor who had just married wanted to listen to politics and said that he was based on the people. Another news came from Guandong, the war was as smooth as expected, but the rebels were far from being cleared. There were several cities in Qi who were loyal to the King of Qi and could not stand. The most important thing is that the King of Qi, the first rebel, had not been arrested yet. Since the defeat of Luoyang, he disappeared all at once. The Grand Tutor Cui Hong distributed a large number of troops to investigate the whereabouts of the King of Qi. There were many clues, and all ended in vain.

As usual, Han Ruzi didn't stay in Qinzheng Pavilion for too long. In less than a quarter of an hour, he frequently heard a strange name - Chunyu Xiao. He didn't sound like an official of the court or a local hero. He was a bit like a military advisor of the King of Qi, and had a bit of a mage.

When the eunuch asked the emperor to take the lead back to the palace, Han Ruzi finally couldn't help it and asked the prime minister: "Who is this Chunyu Xiao...uh...who is this?"

The emperor rarely asked questions, and he was hiccup and spoke even more unprecedentedly. The prime minister was a little stunned for a moment, and the eunuchs who surrounded the emperor were also quite nervous. It was not until no one in the imperial court came out to stop him that Yin Wuhe bowed to the ground and said tremblingly: "Chunyu Xiao is a man who is looking at the spirit of Guandong. He is the one who bewitched the King of Qi to cause trouble, but he is actually the lord of rebellion. Your Majesty, don't worry, Chunyu Xiao will never be free from justice for too long."

A man who looks at the qi, Han Ruzi didn't understand this title for the first time, but didn't ask more questions.

The queen was not in Tai'an Palace and was taken to where she was taken and did not come back during the day. Instead, Han Ruzi felt at ease and had nothing else to do, so she kept using the reverse breathing method to suppress the urge to hiccup.

In the afternoon, the imperial concubine Shangguan came and supervised a group of eunuchs and palace maids to clean up their new houses. They could only have a short time to talk to the emperor in private.

"Treat the queen well, she will be very useful in the future."

Han Ruzi was not concerned about the "future", and asked in a low voice: "Who sent me the note that day?"

The imperial concubine didn't want to answer, so she thought for a moment before saying, "Zhang Yanghao is the person chosen by Luo Huanzhang."

After solving a doubt, Han Ruzi asked again: "You said the Empress Dowager harmed Emperor Si. Is there any evidence?"

The Imperial Concubine came for this and answered very simply, "Yes, Zuo Ji is the evidence. If Your Majesty can conquer Zuo Ji, you will know the truth."
