Chapter 148 The Emperor's Wedding Night!(2/2)
According to the general process of welcoming a bride, the groom's official is responsible for such things as welcoming the bride.
But the emperor was different. He had a supreme status and was ninety-five years old. Naturally, it was impossible for him to come to the Duke of Wei's palace to greet him in person. Therefore, he appointed a minister with children as the emperor's representative to greet the bride. This time, it was Huang Guan, the Minister of Rites, who came.
Looking from afar, the honor guard and drum band are in front of the wedding procession, with the wedding messenger in the middle, followed by a large number of wedding officials, eunuchs, and guards, together with the queen's honor guard, carrying a large number of gifts.
As the team gradually arrived in front of the Duke of Wei's mansion.
The team stopped, and Huang Guan rode his horse slowly to the front of the wedding team. He dismounted with a smile on his face. It was a great honor to be appointed by the emperor as the messenger.
"Congratulations to Duke Wei, congratulations to Duke Wei."
Huang Guan cupped his fists and saluted. As usual, he had to congratulate him first.
"Thank you very much."
The polite scene still had to go on, although Xu Huizu was very anxious, thinking about you old nose, what the hell, why didn't you announce the edict quickly?
Feeling that the politeness was enough, Huang Guan coughed dryly and took the imperial edict from the attendant beside him.
Xu Huizu was overjoyed when he saw the imperial edict, and he quickly led hundreds of people from the Xu clan to kneel down.
"Eternal Emperor Kaitai, the edict says:..."
After announcing the decree, Xu Huizu hurriedly accepted the decree, and then excitedly welcomed Huang Guan into the Duke of Wei's mansion. In the center of the colorfully decorated front yard, Xu Miaojin was already dressed in a queen's dress, waiting quietly.
After Huang Guan came in, he took out another imperial edict.
Under the arrangement of the etiquette officer, Xu Miaojin led the maids to kneel down, receive the gold book and treasure, and wear the Queen's phoenix crown.
When he saw his little sister wearing the Queen's phoenix crown, Xu Huizu's eyes were red and he was so excited that he couldn't express it in words.
He was not excited because Xu Miaojin became the queen, but he was happy that his little sister finally got married.
Among the children of the Xu family, Xu Miaojin is undoubtedly the youngest. After Xu Da passed away, it was almost Xu Huizu who brought him up. Although they are brothers, they are as close as father and daughter.
"Queen, please get into the sedan chair."
After Huang Guan promulgated the edict, he respectfully stepped aside and saluted.
Xu Miaojin was slightly taken aback. When she heard the word 'Queen's Empress', she obviously didn't realize that she was now a queen?
"Um."
Nod slightly.
Xu Miaojin's eyes were slightly red, and she looked at her eldest brother Xu Huizu, her sister Xu Miaoyun and others. After seeing Xu Huizu smiling and nodding, Xu Miaojin slowly walked out of the Xu family gate with Lian'er's support and got into the queen's exclusive carriage.
.
The wedding procession played drums again and walked back to the palace along the red carpet.
This red carpet was laid all the way from the Duke's Mansion of Wei to the Forbidden City.
In the Forbidden City, there is the Fengtian Palace.
Zhu Xiongying is wearing a black and gold crown. Today is not only his wedding ceremony to Xu Miaojin, but also his enthronement ceremony.
After getting up early in the morning, after going through a set of extremely complicated etiquette, Zhu Xiongying finally sat on the dragon chair in Fengtian Hall, which also meant that this part of the enthronement ceremony could be declared over.
This is also thanks to Zhu Xiongying's sacrifice to heaven and earth and other things. Otherwise, this meeting will definitely not be completed.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live...!"
Zhu Xiongying glanced at the ministers who were kneeling on the ground and shouting long live, but his thoughts were elsewhere.
"People should have arrived by now."
Just as Zhu Xiongying was thinking, the sound of drumming came from outside the Fengtian Palace, and the officials all showed happy faces.
This means that the wedding ceremony can officially begin.
"Your Majesty, the wedding team has arrived. Please change your clothes and move away."
A minister from the Ministry of Rites came out and spoke loudly.
The black gold crown robe that Zhu Xiongying was wearing at this time was used for the enthronement ceremony, while the big red imperial robe was required for the wedding, and the wedding ceremony was held not in Fengtian Hall, but in Zhaixing Tower.
'This broken etiquette is really troublesome.'
Zhu Xiongying frowned slightly.
Changing clothes, visiting the church, hosting banquets, accepting congratulations from officials, granting amnesty to the world, etc...
But for today’s Night of Fuhu, I endured everything.
When everything settled, it was already night.
………………
Night, Zhaixing Tower.
Xu Miaojin sat quietly in the main hall on the ninth floor of the Zhaixing Building, with her red hijab still covering her cheeks. The palace maid next to her was waiting quietly. Lian'er stood nearest, holding a tray in her hands, cushioned with red cloth, and placed a
A small redwood stick.
The sound of footsteps 'ta', 'ta', 'ta' came.
It was clearly visible that Xu Miaojin's body trembled slightly.
Although the two had an encounter in a dream, they had dreamed about Wuhen after all, and that feeling was quickly forgotten.
"Three, seven, twelve..."
Xu Miaojin carried it silently. This was the sequence of actions she had prepared yesterday.
"Miss Miaojin, we meet again."
The gentle and familiar voice came, and Xu Miaojin's heart skipped a beat, her head felt dizzy, and she instantly forgot all the order she had memorized.
She could feel that her hijab was being slowly lifted up.
Chapter completed!
