Chapter 27: Qin and Se chords

"Today is the New Year, and it's time to change the New Year. Tomorrow, everything eaten, used, and spent across the country will be engraved with the Jianwen era number, and the people will offer you a longevity tablet."

In Kunning Palace, Ma Enhui carefully arranged her husband's collar in front of her. After it looked meticulously neat, she let go and took a few steps back to bow. Zhu Yunwen held her in his arms and said, "Today, you and I don't want to stay up late." When Wen Kui arrives, the three of us as a family will go to say hello to our mother."

As he spoke, Zhu Yunwen put his arm around Ma Enhui's waist and pinched the latter's nose with one hand, "Wait until tomorrow, no one will call you Kunji anymore. You are the queen, sitting in the middle palace, and the mother of the world."

Shuangxi, who was standing by, led a group of servants to bow down after hearing the words, "Congratulations to the Emperor and the Queen. My slaves and maids wish the Emperor and Queen good luck, good health and good fortune. Long live my Emperor, and a thousand live the Queen."

Zhu Yunwen tilted his head slightly and asked, "Have you finished writing tomorrow's imperial edict?"

Shuangxi put his forehead on the ground and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the New Year's edict and the edict of canonization of the empress have been drafted by the Imperial Secretary and the Ministry of Rites. The gold book, gold treasures and even the cabinet. Today at Yin Shi, the chief envoy Fang Xiaoru has been canonized, and the deputy envoy Xie Jin has already told heaven. The Imperial Ancestral Temple, the edict, the golden volumes, and the gold treasures have now been delivered to the Fengtian Hall. The two envoys will stay in the Wenhua Hall tonight, and they will take the edicts, volumes, and treasures and present them to the Queen early tomorrow morning."

Zhu Yunwen nodded, "Recite the contents of the edict to my queen. The queen is much more educated than me. Let the queen find faults. If there is anything that is not to your liking, change it as soon as possible."

Ma Enhui gave Zhu Yunwen a gentle hammer and said angrily, "Your Majesty makes fun of my concubine again. Your Majesty is so talented. Who in the world can be more educated than your Majesty."

You see, it turns out that it doesn't make much sense if a couple is too respectful to each other. Therefore, life still needs to be more interesting, and being too elegant is not enough.

If he hadn't been guarding a group of people, Zhu Yunwen would have had to change Ma Enhui's politeness. However, the hand holding Ma Enhui's waist moved down a few inches and patted her gently, biting her ear, "I'd better save the flattery for tonight." Come on, don’t praise me during the day from now on.”

Ma Enhui blushed and couldn't help but say to Shuangxi, "Come back and listen."

Shuangxi exclaimed and cleared his throat, "The emperor is destined to be carried by heaven, and the edict says: Guangdong Ji is classical, and internal governance is prosperous. Guirui concubine Yu, Tushan Yixia. Ji Zhou's prosperity, originally from Jiang Ren. Houde inherited Tian, ​​Yilun You Xu.

Zier Ma, the daughter of Guanglu Shaoqing Ma Quan, is my royal concubine. She has a suitable family and a good family. I can control the world and have no internal worries, all thanks to her merits. Now that I have ascended the throne in the Yuan Dynasty, I inherit the destiny and agree to cooperate with each other. The title of the official title. Today, a special envoy is sent to enshrine you with a gold book and a gold treasure to designate you as the queen, in order to enshrine the authority of the gods, to honor all nations, and to represent the six palaces.

You still follow the ancient ways and abide by the instructions of the Queen Mother. You stay vigilant day and night and always maintain your chastity. You work diligently with me to protect your destiny. During the Yu, Xia, Yin and Zhou dynasties, you also provided internal support to Yongxi. Now you are in the middle palace, and we share the inheritance. The ancestral temple made announcements at home and abroad, and Xian envoys heard about it."

Zhu Yunwen's eyebrows jumped. This double happiness really shocked him. For such a long paragraph, there was not even a single stutter. It seemed that he had done a lot of homework before.

"The Queen is quite satisfied."

Ma Enhui nestled in Zhu Yunwen's arms, smiling happily, "I am so virtuous and capable, Your Majesty, I have given you such a high reputation."

Seeing that there was no problem on Ma Enhui's side, Zhu Yunwen waved his hand and said, "Get up, who wrote this edict?"

Shuangxi got up and replied, "It was written by Bachelor Jie Jinjie."

Zhu Yunwen nodded, "It's well written. I'll be rewarded. It's a double happiness. Go to the inner treasury to get some furs, pick the best materials in the north, and send them to Xie Jin."

Shuangxi took the order and retreated, leaving Zhu Yunwen and his wife bored for a while.

"I'm going to pay my respects to the Queen Mother, so as not to be delayed."

Ma Enhui's face was so aroused that she had no choice but to break away from Zhu Yunwen and give him a small bow.

According to the ceremony, Ma Enhui will go home to dress up today. Tomorrow morning, Fang Xiaoru and He Jin will take this edict, a gold book, and a gold treasure to her house to read it out. Then, Ma Enhui will receive the edict, take over the book, and canonize the edict.

The group knelt to call the queen, and welcomed Ma Enhui to Zhu Yunwen's Emperor Luanjia. They entered the palace under the escort of the royal guards and the imperial palace minister. Zhu Yunwen led all the civil and military officials to wait in Fengtian Hall.

After Ma Enhui entered the palace and greeted Zhu Yunwen, the couple held hands and ascended to the throne. A phoenix chair was placed next to the throne. The two saints sat down and all the civil and military officials knelt to congratulate.

Zhu Yunwen's head hurts when he thinks of all these red tapes. He and Ma Enhui have been married for more than four years, and their children are three years old. This process is like getting married, and Ma Enhui has to go back to her parents' home to wait like the bride. It's really novel.

But etiquette is etiquette, and the emperor must abide by it. Zhu Yunwen had no choice but to nod reluctantly. When the palace maid brought Xiao Wenkui over, Zhu Yunwen took it and teased it twice, "Little lazy guy, you haven't woken up yet."

Xiao Wenkui rubbed his sleepy eyes and yawned again. He put his little head on Zhu Yunwen's shoulder and rubbed it for a few times, as if he didn't want to answer.

"This is a little early."

Zhu Yunwen hugged little Wenkui and walked out of Kunning Palace with Ma Enhui. He looked up at the sky and saw that it was not bright yet. Zhu Yunwen tightened the collar of little Wenkui and said, "Children should get more sleep."

After the family of three said hello and had a meal together, Zhu Yunwen reluctantly sent Ma Enhui to Luan Yi who was leaving the palace, "We are staying up late today. It seems that the family can't have a dumpling meal together."

After all, it was his first time to celebrate the New Year in this time and space. His wife was about to return to her parents' home. Zhu Yunwen felt very unhappy. If he had known it would be so troublesome, he might as well have waited until the New Year was over to be canonized.

"Your Majesty can summon your general to accompany you."

Ma Enhui whispered teasingly against Zhu Yunwen's ear, avenging the humiliation he suffered just now, "Didn't His Majesty appoint a commander? Are you thinking about the unique feeling of wearing a helmet while sleeping?"

Zhu Yunwen blushed slightly and glared, "Aren't you afraid that I will be smitten by that fox girl at night and give your treasure to others?"

Ma Enhui pursed her lips and gave a charming glance, "Okay, it's good for me to be a little girl. It's best. I will live in my parents' house from now on. When will His Majesty think of it, he will leave the palace?"

"A wife is worse than a concubine, and a concubine is worse than a thief."

Zhu Yunwen patted his forehead lightly, looked up to the sky and sighed falsely, "I am innocent and have no evil intentions. I have been misunderstood many times. I can't help but do nothing."

Ma Enhui rolled her eyes again, turned around and got on Luan Yi. A group of servants and guards in royal robes saluted Zhu Yunwen, and then drove the carriages out of the palace.

"Your Majesty, where are we going?"

Shuangxi stood in front of Zhu Yunwen. Seeing the latter's sad face, he came over. "The Shangshan Bureau is busy making dumplings today. If your majesty is fine, why don't you go and take a look?"

Zhu Yunwen suddenly became interested, "Let's go, I happened to think of a new dish a few days ago and I just wanted to try it out."

To be honest, the author spent two and a half hours writing this chapter, mainly struggling with the part of the edict to canonize the queen. The author rummaged through the documents before finding the draft version from the early Ming Dynasty, which was the one where Zhu Di canonized Xu Yihua, the concubine of the Yuan Dynasty. Originally,

It was planned to use the text of Zhu Zhanji's canonization of the empress in The Ming Dynasty, but with a responsible attitude towards history, I checked and found that the edict was from the Qing Dynasty that canonized the empress. The screenwriter probably didn't pay attention at first and copied it from The Legend of Zhen Huan.
