The emperor got married and it was very lively. The people in the capital were worried for several years and finally felt at ease. Following the wedding held by the grand ceremony, the entire Guangzhou City was brightly lit, just like dragon dances, and extremely lively.

The most tiring thing is the emperor. The royal family’s rules are very strict and there is a set of etiquette there.

"The years of men and women are limited to marriage, and the rituals of the six rites" began in the Zhou Dynasty. The Book of Rites and the Law of Tang stipulated that the six rites were repeatedly accepted and asked for names, and they were named, and they were appointed, and they were appointed to the rites, and they were welcomed by the emperor, and they were accepted by the emperor, and they were welcomed by the emperor, and they were welcomed by the emperor.

Ordinary families spend most of their money on arranging new houses, furniture, brides, etc., and even emperors cannot avoid the custom of "buying and selling marriages". In history, the wedding of Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yijun spent more than 90,000 taels of silver alone; the wedding of Emperor Tongzhi of the Qing Dynasty, Zaichun spent a total of more than 20,000 taels of silver, not to mention more than 20,000 taels of silver, which is enough to buy many warships, and most of the Beiyang Navy.

Of course, not every emperor can catch up with a glorious and decent thing like a big wedding. After becoming an emperor, he only held a ceremony to enthrone the queen and did not hold a wedding again.

When they arrived at Nacai and asked for their names, officials from the Ministry of Rites formulated etiquette procedures and regulations, and also arranged the ceremony venue with a large group of eunuchs and palace maids.

According to "Changyi", the ceremony is set up outside the gate of the Daming Palace, and the girl is happy to the Danbi. In the main hall of Tai Chi Palace, two tables are temporarily set up, with apricot and yellow satin tablecloths, one table is placed on the "Journey" and the other table is placed on the "Question" edict. Gifts prepared to be sent to the in-laws will also be displayed in broad daylight.

It is rare to see the etiquette of a grand wedding, royal family members and court officials, and maybe they will encounter it this time in their lifetime.

Don’t look at the officials of the Ministry of Rites, in fact, they also “feel the stones across the river” according to the relevant regulations of the classics and documents, and learn in practice.

The officials who came to watch the ceremony in other court departments felt it was fresh and just watched the fun and forgot to abide by the discipline.

The officials of the Honglu Temple (mastering the courtesy) finally took the opportunity to show their faces, and pointed at them and rectified the ceremonial team and maintained order, which caused many "silly" officials to look at them sideways.

After the officials of the Imperial Heaven Supervision Bureau said that "the auspicious time has come", the emperor made a grand appearance with the support of ministers, guards and eunuchs, and walked into the main hall of the Daming Palace amid the music and promoted his seat.

The princes and ministers bowed to the ground and shouted long live. The Xuanzheng official followed the edict and stood on the Danbao on the east side, proclaimed the edict loudly, appointing the two angels and appointed them to go to the princess's house to pick up the name. As the music sounded, the two angels followed the edict and followed the etiquette. The emperor retired from the court.

The chief envoy held the rituals, and the deputy envoy held the edict for the title; the guard of honor and drum band opened the way in front, and the gift-giving officer followed the second envoy, set out from the Daming Palace, blowing and beating, and ran towards the mansion where he married.

The queen also had to enter a "breeding chamber" when she got married, but unlike the custom of bridal chambers among the people, the bridal chamber where the queen married the emperor was not in the emperor's original bedroom, nor did she have a fixed bridal chamber. The place where the ceremony was held was generally regarded as a bridal chamber on the wedding night.

The Daming Palace, a palace made in imitation of the Tang Dynasty, is still so luxurious. Compared with the former Tang Dynasty, it is only a few points different in scale and is comparable in luxury.

Naturally, no one dared to drink wine from the emperor, Li Jia had the same intention, drank a few drinks with his father, uncle, and other cousins, and then entered the bridal chamber.

The theme of the bridal chamber is also bright red, forming a joyful atmosphere with red light reflecting the brilliance. The "Hundred Sons" are hung in front of the bed, and the "Hundred Sons Quilt" will be placed on the bed, which means embroidering a tent and quilt with a hundred children with different expressions; the bedside is hung with a large red satin embroidered with dragon and phoenix double happiness. The imperial family also hopes to "more children and more blessings".

Carpets are laid on the ground and multiple barriers are required. There are curtains on all sides of the dragon and phoenix bed, which shows that the privacy of the bridal chamber is very good.

Li Jia went into the bedroom wearing a middle-clothed shirt and saw a girl covered in big red silk and jade sitting by the bed waiting for him, with a veil on her head. This is Zhou Ying'er, the princess of Chu. She is only sixteen years old, and she is a sin!

Several palace maids were serving each other.

This is the bridal chamber? It’s simple to think about it.

The grand sacrifice really began.

In the east room of the new house, there is a dining table under the west window. In front of the table are beans, zis, guis, baskets, and saps that symbolize couples having a banquet together. This means the same as the folk saying "eat a pot of rice in the future".

The worship activities after entering the bridal chamber are held before the ceremony, and the couple sacrifice together. Each time the sacrifice is performed, the newlyweds have to have a meal together. In this way, they will be full before going to bed, so that they will not be hungry for food and sex.

Because drinking some wine can also adjust the interests of both parties, which is also a flirting method before going to bed.

After worshiping, Li Jia couldn't do anything anymore. She was flirting with her. No matter how much love she felt, she would be exhausted.

He and Zhou Ying'er were not idle yet, so they began to hold a ceremony under the service of the palace maids.

The so-called "combination ceremony" is what the people call "drinking wine with a glass of wine".

The shui means "lao". "He shui" is the original meaning of combining the cut open gourd into one. In ancient times, it was often used to serve wine. The wine in the emperor and his descendants was mixed together and drinking together was "he shui".

The feast of the romance begins. The empress and the emperor sit opposite each other in the Daming Palace.

The bride pours a glass of wine and handes it to the groom; the groom takes a sip and hand it to the bride, and the bride drinks it all. The groom pours a glass of wine and hand it to the bride; the bride takes a sip and gives it to the groom, and the groom drinks it dry.

Of course, after the wedding ceremony, it is time to go to bed after drinking a glass of wine.

However, if the emperor is the groom, the bed cannot be taken casually, and it must be divided into order.

Etiquette of going to bed: Shang Yi knelt in the north and said, "The ceremony will be prosperous after it is finished." The emperor and the queen are both prosperous.

Afterwards, the emperor was taken to the room by the palace servants who were sleeping, took off his crown clothes and changed into plain clothes; the queen was first introduced into the tent by the palace servants, and the palace servant took off her dress first, and then he led the emperor in plain clothes into the room, slept on the same bed with the queen, and spent a good night together.

Li Jia took off her clothes and hugged the lamb-like queen. Li Jia breathed. The emperor's marriage was indeed extraordinary.

"You guys go down!" Li Jia ordered.

"No--" Several palace maids took a look, especially confirming the white silk under the queen's butt, then turned around and left.

On the side, the female official took the pen and recorded the emperor's wedding on a certain day of a certain year, month and day of a certain year, month and day of a certain year, month and day of a certain year.

Outside the door, the eunuchs who read daily life inside also wrote their pens and recorded this moment.

"When the golden list is a wedding night," Li Jia couldn't help but smile, and her hands unconsciously swam.

"The four great joyful events in life, the ancients did not fool me!"

"Your Majesty..." Zhou Ying'er couldn't stand such provocation for a moment, and said with a blushing face.

The two bodies were united and pushed the grinding.
