Chapter 192 Flowers and candles are bright, shadows are in pairs(2/4)

In fact, the wedding is divided into three parts, namely "pre-wedding ceremony", "wedding ceremony" and "after-wedding ceremony".

The "Six Leaves" are just "pre-marriage rituals". Only after the six rituals can you get married.

Although the emperor, as the king of a country, his wedding was completely different from the wedding of literati and civilians.

However, we must also follow the "Six Etiquettes" to carry out, but we have slightly evolved the Six Etiquettes.

Because the emperor has a noble status, he does not need to "proposal for marriage", but only needs to send an envoy to convey it, and the woman's family must go to get married.

...

Zhao Ji said to Liang Shicheng who was hesitating there after obeying the order, "Official Liang, follow the six etiquettes to accomplish this matter quickly."

Liang Shicheng said with some embarrassment:

"When the old slave was still a little eunuch in the palace, he was happy to meet the wedding of Zhezong, who was fifteen years old, to marry Empress Meng;

If the official family and Li Taizhen get married according to the six etiquettes, they must prepare for at least fifteen or sixteen days.

During this period, in addition to sending envoys from the Ministry of Rites to ask for their names, the Taishi Bureau and Sitianjian also had to divine the woman's name and birth date and eight characters, and choose the wedding date and then pay tribute to the ancestral temple..."

Zhao Ji waved his hand and said:

"I sent the Liang official tonight to ask for his name. There is no need for the Taishi Bureau and the Sitianjian to divine Li Taizhen's name and birth date.

The date for my marriage to Li Taizhen is scheduled to be held today on November 15th. Isn’t it beautiful to get married on the full night of the bright moon?"

Liang Shicheng was shocked after hearing what Zhao Guanjia said.

"The old slave obeys the order and will marry Li Taizhen to Yanfu Palace tonight and marry the official family." Liang Shi Cheng immediately obeyed the order.

He said to himself: "Why is the Zhao Guan family so anxious after a major change in mind?!"

Shicheng Liang felt that it was becoming increasingly difficult to guess the holy intention.

In fact, Zhao Ji, as the emperor of the Song Dynasty, accepted Li Shishi as the harem, and did not marry Li Shishi as the queen. As long as he was named Li Shishi, he did not have to follow the six etiquettes.

However, time traveler Zhao Ji had never gotten married before traveling through time. He traveled through time to the ancient world and had to experience the feeling of being a groom.

What's more, Zhao Ji also wanted to give Li Shishi an unforgettable wedding.

As for, when Zhao Ji had just personally quelled the Fang La Rebellion and returned in triumphantly, he would marry Li Shishi. Although he seemed a little anxious, Zhao Ji had his own plans.

That is, I, a time traveler, was in this urgent period of life and death that was related to the Northern Song Dynasty, and in the strong rise of the Jin Kingdom, I really had no extra time to have a time-consuming and laborious relationship with the courtesan Li Shishi.

Time traveler Zhao Ji confessed in his heart: How much unforgettable love do I have for the captivating Li Shishi?

It seems not yet!

Yes, I, a time traveler, just took a fancy to Li Shishi's beautiful face and her graceful figure...

But Zhao Ji knew that Li Shishi, the courtesan building’s courtesan, still has some feelings for me, right?!

This is also good. After the bridal chamber, I will develop a relationship with Li Shishi again!

Zhao Ji's care for more than a month after traveling through time to this world,

Since I did not take pills and strengthened physical exercise, I have felt my body more and more that I have regained my majesty...

In fact, a few days ago, after pacifying the Fang La bandits in the southeast, Liang Shicheng presented him with ten beauties in Jiangnan to Zhao Ji. Although Zhao Ji confiscated any of the time travelers, he was already thinking about Li Shishi, the beautiful woman in Longde Palace, who was fascinating in the country.

Zhao Ji looked at the back of Liang Shicheng, a high-ranking official who came out of order, and said in his heart:

"As the emperor of the Song Dynasty,

Although, more attention should be paid to military and national affairs and the livelihood of the people,

However, I am a man of the past. In addition to handling political affairs, I should naturally enjoy some love between men and women..."

Liang Shicheng followed the imperial edict of Zhao Guan Family, and although he had to use the [Six Etiquette] process to hire Li Shishi, he followed the imperial edict of Zhao Guan Family, and everything was simple.

Liang Shicheng brought his accompanying eunuchs into Longde Palace and proclaimed the imperial edict:

"According to the official family's sage, the Taoist nun Li Taizhen was given to return to secular life, and the Li Taizhen was named a noble person..."

"Ah?!" When the peerless beauty Li Shishi heard the sage to sign her a noble person, she was shocked...

Just now, Li Shishi was still resentful of Zhao Guanjia, who had not come to see her after returning to the harem. At this time, she received a shocking news that she didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow!

In the harem of the Song Dynasty, in addition to the highest level of queens, concubines were divided into six major levels, namely:

First class: Concubine, Concubine Shu, Concubine De, and Concubine Virtue.

Second class: Taiyi, Guiyi, Shuyi, Shurong, Shurong, Shunyi, Wanyi, Wanrong, Zhaoyi, Zhaorong, Zhaoyuan, Xiuyi, Xiurong, Xiuyuan, Chongyi, Chongrong, Chongyuan.

Third class: Jieyu.

Fourth class: beauty.

Five grades: talented people.

Sixth grade: noble people.

Below the nobles, there are the wife of the country, the wife of the county, and the wife.

Li Shishi, a brothel-born cafeteria, never dared to think that one day, a woman with a poor life, could become a well-known concubine in the Song Dynasty palace...

Although the "Negod" ranks at the last place among concubines, there are also the national wife, the county wife, and the ladies, with a total of nearly 100 women with lower status than her.

Li Shishi felt that happiness came too suddenly, and she couldn't even believe it.

Wen Yi Zhenjun, who is over a hundred years old, has seen the world.

After hearing the sacred eunuch Liang Shicheng, she remained calm and whispered to Li Shishi who was stunned and said:

"You are too serious, why don't you receive the order to thank you?"

Li Shishi suddenly realized that Fang Jue was rude, and she immediately knelt down and said:

"Minister Li Taizhen, thank you Lord Long's eternity."

After the chubby Liang Shicheng read out the imperial edict, he immediately stepped forward and respectfully helped Li Shishi up, and then he took three steps back.

There was a "thump".

Liang Shicheng, known as the hidden figure, knelt down in front of Li Shishi, and smiled carefully:

"The old slave Liang Shicheng, I will greet the nobleman Li. I hope the nobleman will help the old slave with more beautiful words in front of the official family in the future."

Li Shishi, who knew the worldly style in the alum building, naturally smiled and agreed to Liang Shicheng's request.

Liang Shicheng thanked him with a smile.

He stood up behind him and bowed to Cao Wenyi:

"I would like to ask Mr. Wen Yi to perform the etiquette of returning to the world for the disciple Li Taizhen."

True Lord Wen Yi nodded.

At the beginning, it was not her intention to accept Li Shishi as her apprentice. She had long seen that Li Shishi was still nostalgic in the world.

However, at that time, in the context of the national teacher Lin Lingsu being sentenced to death, Taoism in the Song Dynasty was facing a catastrophe.

In order to save the catastrophe that Taoism is most likely to face, Wen Yi Zhenjun did not dare to act according to the holy wishes and accepted Li Shishi as his disciple, and brought Li Shishi, who had been newly accepted as his disciple, into the Longde Palace in the palace...

True Lord Wen Yi saw thoroughly that the Zhao Guan family just used her True Lord Wen Yi to accept Li Shishi as his apprentice and then ordered him to return to secular life to whitewash Li Shishi's bad background.

Therefore, True Lord Wen Yi readily agreed to Liang Shicheng's request.

In front of Liang Shicheng, Zhenjun Wen Yi held a simple ceremony to return to the world for Li Shishi...

...

Next, Liang Shicheng followed Zhao Ji's holy wishes and simplified the "six rituals" process before the emperor's wedding, and made the "choose" selection, "asked for the name according to the order", "attention to Ji", "attained for completion", "attention to the time", and "welcome".

Although the emperor's pre-marriage ceremony is different from the ordinary "Six Lessons" of scholars and officials and the people, it does not exceed the scope of "Six Lessons". It is only slightly modified on the basis of the "Six Lessons" to demonstrate the emperor's lofty status and invaluable honor!

The fourth item of the traditional six rituals is "a chasing". The woman's family can refuse to accept betrothal gifts and then refuse to engage.

However, the bride gift sent by the emperor to the emissary was not allowed to refuse, so the "recruitment" was changed to "finished", which was to inform the bride's parents that the marriage was settled, and if you agree or not, you have to marry your daughter to the emperor.

Because Li Shishi's parents are no longer alive, as Li Shishi's master Wen Yizhenjun, took over the betrothal gift brought by Liang Shicheng under the order - [Ji Gui].

Jugui (i.e. Gugui), a type of ritual jade. Jugui is a jade ritual vessel for the emperor or princes to make peace, or to hire women.

"The emperor hired a daughter with seven inches when he was young." ("Book of Zhou Li·Kaogong Ji").

"When you are in harmony, you can hire a daughter." ("Zhou Li·Chun Guan")

After taking [Jiu Gui], Zhenjun Wen Yi handed it over to Li Shishi...

The fifth item of the traditional six rituals is "invitation date". Generally, the man's family goes to seek opinions on the wedding date of the woman, while the emperor's marriage is the date chosen by the Ministry of Rites and the Sitianjian, so you only need to inform the woman's family. The woman's family is not allowed to have any opinions.

"Ahem!" The eunuch Liang Shicheng cleared his throat and pronounced the order loudly:

"The 15th day of the 11th lunar month of the second year of Xuanhe, and the moon is full tonight, which is the auspicious day of the eclipse.

I am obeying the emperor's sage

Welcome the noble Li Taizhen,

Entering Yanfu's bedroom at night,
