On June 1st of the third year of Shenwu

The Tai Chi Palace was decorated with lights and all the palace maids and eunuchs changed into the red palace uniforms, and they looked happy everywhere.

In the era of polygamy in the Great Zhou Dynasty, even ordinary families, even if they are slightly rich in their families, they must be grandly organized and grandly talked about the situation.

As for concubines, you can’t even use the word “marry”, you can only call it “na”, and then your status is naturally not a little bit worse.

When the emperor got married, he married the queen. In the smallest terms, he was the lord of the harem, and in the large terms, he was the mother of a country. The rituals were of particular importance, so it was naturally so grand that it could not be more grand.

It was quite grand and the show was so big that Ma Jin felt troublesome.

Nacai, asking for names, Najib, applying for enlistment, asking for appointments, and welcoming them in person. The six rituals are indispensable, and even the supreme emperor is naturally no exception.

Of course, as the emperor, it is impossible for him to go to the wedding in person. The officials of the Ministry of Rites are busy taking care of him.

The scene of the emperor's wedding was rare in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Because most of the emperors of the Great Zhou had already gotten married before ascending the throne, the officials of the Ministry of Rites also arranged according to the records of classics and had never seen it with their own eyes.

The officials who watched the ceremony also looked around happily. This was the first time they saw the emperor's wedding, so they were naturally extremely curious. They could also have a meal at the imperial banquet, so why not do it?

Before long, the officials of the Imperial Heaven Supervision shouted that the auspicious time had come!

Ma Jin made a grand appearance in costume, surrounded by eunuchs, guards and officials, and walked into Hanyuan Hall to take a seat with the music.

The civil and military ministers bowed to the ground and bowed, and shouted long live the mountain.

Wang Chengen read the wedding edict loudly on the imperial steps on the east side, appointing Changsun Wuji, Xie Xuan as the chief and deputy envoy, and went to the queen's house to pick him up and ask for his name. Amid the music, the two angels were celebrating the edict, and the etiquette was completed.

Then the official 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, set out from Hanyuan Hall, blowing and beating, and rushed to Zhou'e's family to perform the fourth ceremony and accept the conquest. After arriving at Zhou'e's family, Changsun Wuji and Xie Xuan gave Zhou's father Zhou Guoji to read it. After Zhou Guoji read the rituals, he accepted the bride gift and the rituals, and then gave the gift back.

The fourth ceremony is over, and the fifth ceremony is started, and the appointment is requested. Two matchmakers told Zhou Guoji that today is the good time for the wedding, and Zhou Guoji naturally agreed. This is all about etiquette, so of course it was discussed in advance. The time of the wedding was calculated by the Imperial Heaven Supervision and announced the world. How could Zhou Guoji object?

After a lot of time, the last item of the six rituals "Celebrity greeting", will finally come tomorrow. "Celebrity greeting", among the people, Xinlang Guan'er wore red flowers and rode a tall horse to pick up the bride. Of course, the emperor naturally did not have to surrender to the nobles and went there in person, but there were also very cumbersome etiquette procedures to take the queen to Fengming Palace, which required him to do in person.

The next day, the ceremonial greeting was held by the emperor, and the ceremonial greeting officer sent by the emperor to the Zhou Guoji Mansion. The ceremonial greeting was the imperial edict that conferred Zhou Ehuang as the queen. When he arrived at the ceremonial work, Chunyu Yan, the etiquette official in charge of etiquette, asked for an imperial edict, read it on the spot, and began to welcome the ceremonial greeting.

The female officials in Zhou Guoji's backyard took out the queen's dress and exchanged it for Zhou Ehuang. According to etiquette, the queen had to wear the Nine Dragons and Four Phoenix Crowns. It took Zhou Ehuang nearly an hour to wear the clothes. Although Zhou Ehuang was mentally prepared for this, he was still shocked when he took out the clothes. Not only were the Zhai Yi and the phoenix crowns themselves difficult to wear, but there were too many other decorations worn. Zhou Ehuang took a long time to wear them with the help of the female officials. After that, with the help of the female officials, Zhou Ehuang first went to the hall where the ancestral tablets were enshrined, and then knelt down to his parents in the yard and cried to say goodbye to his parents.

The female official then announced: "The queen is out of the palace." Zhou Ehuang sat on the phoenix chassis, and the wedding team turned back to the Tai Chi Palace, with the ceremonial guard at the front, followed by the band, followed by the phoenix chassis, followed by dowry dowry and other items. Although the imperial edict had been announced before, and the soldiers of the five cities of the military and horse officers and soldiers were maintaining order, there were still crowds of people on both sides of the road, because the emperor's wedding was rare, and they all wanted to see the fun and enjoy the fun.

Soon after, the wedding party went straight into Shenwu Gate from Zhuque Avenue. Zhou Ehuang, who entered Tai Chi Palace, felt even more nervous because she immediately worshiped the emperor and felt a sense of excitement when she thought of this.

When we entered Shenwu Gate, we began to ring the bells and drums according to the ceremony. After entering Shenwu Gate, we entered the palace. At this time, several matchmakers and the envoys who welcomed the bride have completed their mission, and then our protagonist Ma Jin will take action personally.

When Zhou Ehuang's phoenix chassis entered the Shenwu Gate bells and drums rang, Zhu Youxiao walked out of Hanyuan Hall to welcome him. The phoenix chassis entered from the main entrance of Danfeng Gate and fell into the front of Hanyuan Hall. Zhou Ehuang, covered with a red veil, was supported by a female official. At this time, Ma Jin welcomed him and took Zhou Ehuang's hand into Hanyuan Hall for a big ceremony, which is commonly known as the etiquette of worshiping heaven and earth. Under the witness of civil and military ministers, the etiquette ended.

After worshiping the heaven and earth, the matter was over for the ministers. There were still many etiquettes to be carried out for Ma Jin. Ma Jin and Zhou Ehuang came out of Hanyuan Hall, surrounded by a group of female officials and eunuchs, and entered the queen's bedroom Fengming Palace.

After entering Fengming Palace, Ma Jin personally lifted Zhou Ehuang's veil and finally saw Zhou Ehuang himself. When Zhou Ehuang was appointed by Ma Jinran before, he was only looking from a distance in the hall. Now, when he looked closely, he found that Zhou Ehuang was indeed worthy of his natural beauty, noble and elegant, with a Tsinghua University, with a beautiful face but not elegant, elegant yet not soft, with eyes like autumn waves, a mouth like red cherry blossoms, a nose like a hanging gallbladder, fine and clean teeth, noble and inequality. Ma Jin looked at Zhou Ehuang without turning his eyes, feeling very happy.

While Ma Jin was looking at Zhou Ehuang, Zhou Ehuang was also looking at Ma Jin. Although Ma Jin was young, he was tall and tall. Although his handsome face was still childish, his eyes were deep and his nose was straight. A pair of sword eyebrows were flying into his temples, and he was full of heroic spirit. After wearing the crown robe, he had the demeanor of Yuanding Yuezhi, and as the lord of a country, he naturally had supreme majesty.

Seeing the emperor and the queen looking at each other quietly, the female officials next to him who were preparing to perform the ceremony were stunned. After waiting for a while, they could not stop. Finally, they couldn't help but reminded in a low voice: "Please change your clothes and perform the ceremony."

At this time, Ma Jin immediately came back to his senses and changed into leather suits under the service of the female official. Zhou Ehuang also came back to his senses and did not feel shy. Then he also changed into a phoenix crown, big shirt and robe.

The merry ceremony is when the two parties exchange cups to drink, indicating that they will share the joys and sorrows in the future. After the merry ceremony, they will first eat a small dumpling called "Sons and Grandpa" which means a lot of descendants. Eat together and then eat longevity noodles, which means longevity. After breakfast, Ma Jin did not eat much, and ate a little snack in the middle. At this time, he was a little hungry. He couldn't help but eat more to replenish his energy.

After these etiquettes were finally completed, Ma Jin and Zhou Ehuang entered the inner hall, and after entering, they changed their clothes again. Ma Jin changed into regular clothes and Zhou Ehuang changed into regular clothes and skirt. Ma Jin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and finally it was over. It was time to enter the bridal chamber below, and the beauty was on the side. Ma Jin couldn't help but become excited. His burning fire had already begun to burn.

Finally, it was a critical moment. The female official first served Zhou Ehuang to take off his clothes and enter the red gauze tent, and then Ma Jin entered. When he was about to do something big, he found that several female officials were still outside and had no intention of leaving. Although they were women, when others watched and listened, he always felt unhappy. Ma Jin felt that this was a private matter between the two. But he also knew that these female officials were outside at any time, just to prevent any unexpected events on the wedding night of the emperor and the empress.

Even if he became an emperor, there were many things in the palace that were not in line with Ma Jin's wishes. He was lonely and bored at night before, and it was not that he had thought of visiting a few palace maids to quench his thirst, but the eunuch in charge of daily life always followed him and wanted to record. The wedding was about to be done, so he endured it without any other troubles. Now when he was in the wedding night, the eunuch in charge of daily life was outside like a female official, but outside the bedroom.
