53. Chapter 53 Worshiping the ancestors and sealing the empress [2]
"..." Xi Yan glanced at him and simply closed her mouth.
According to the royal ancestral precepts, whenever an emperor marries a queen, he must go to the temple to hold an ancestor worship ceremony on the first day of the next month. This means that the queen officially marries into the royal family, holds the phoenix seal and phoenix book, becomes the head of the harem, and can accompany the emperor after death.
Buried in the imperial mausoleum.
However, because the draft will be held in a few days, the harem will not be able to have a master by then. Besides, there is no way that the queen will be officially approved after the show girl, so the ministers discussed it and decided to hold the ceremony of conferring the queen on the wedding day.
Finally, rules are dead and people are alive. You can't let Dayue Kingdom be secretly laughed at by others because of a rule...
Arriving at the Ancestral Temple, Xi Yan began to observe carefully.
In the middle of the Ancestral Temple hangs a portrait of the Founding Saint of Dayue. The majesty and vigor are vividly displayed on the paper. Under the portrait is a long mahogany platform with more than a dozen tablets on it. A pure gold incense burner with carved dragons is placed in the center.
In the center, three rose-red sandalwood sticks are burning in the incense burner.
Just as he was looking around, he was pulled by Nangong Yu and knelt forward together. In full view of everyone, it was better not to do anything too outrageous...
Reluctantly, she knelt down. If she was worried about Nangong Yu's father, she wouldn't kneel down. He was a cunning emperor, but he was the founding emperor of Dayue. I heard he was a hero of his generation, but that's right.
It's worth her kneeling!
I secretly thought to myself that this Ancestral Temple may be the quietest place in the entire palace compound. It is far away from the hustle and bustle and complexity, which makes people's hearts calmer...
She calmed down and followed Nangong Yuyu's movements, kowtowed three times respectfully, then stood up and bowed with her hands together. She repeated this three times. A nanny handed over three sticks of sandalwood, and Xiyan held them with pious hands.
After holding the incense, inserting it into the incense burner, and bowing down three times and kneeling down, according to the rules, the emperor and the empress had to stay in the Ancestral Temple for a night without sleeping, and the officials dispersed to prepare for the ceremony of empress conferment tomorrow...
They said they couldn't sleep, but they were obviously not sticklers. Nangong Yu asked Xiang'er to stay outside the door, and their joking suggestion that they go to a restaurant to book a room to sleep for one night was strongly supported by Xi Yan, and then Nangong Yu really
His face was covered with black lines and he was pulled out by a certain girl...
Of course, he avoided the guards and left quietly. The emperor didn't really do whatever he wanted. At least if he wanted to be a wise king, he couldn't just do whatever he wanted. So Nangong Yuyu hugged Xi Yan and flew over the eaves. She obviously knew this well.
At this time, neither of them noticed that they were so close to each other...

Although the two of them stayed in the Ancestral Temple and sneaked out after having dinner in full view of the public, they just grabbed some food and put down the bowls and chopsticks. In order not to wake up from hunger in the middle of the night, they went to the restaurant.
I ordered some more dishes to eat.
