The wedding between the queen and the emperor naturally did not have the rules of having a wedding chamber. Zhao Bing also thought that after completing all the procedures, he could have a peaceful sleep. These days, he was either on the sacrifice or on the road of sacrifice. After more than ten consecutive days, he was exhausted and not as easy as a battle. But who knew that there were still a series of etiquettes waiting for him when he entered the wedding chamber. If he wanted to go to bed, he had to finish the full set of activities.

After the enthronement ceremony was held in the main hall, Zhao Bing went to the bedroom under the guidance of Liu Ling, and the queen was guided by Shanggong to enter the hall from different doors. The dining table had already been set up in the bridal chamber, and there were beans, ci, gui, baskets, and saps that were symbolized by couples for dinner. This meaning was the same as the folk saying "eat a pot of rice in the future". But you can't eat the food first. The first task of entering the bridal chamber was to worship the gods and express respect to the heaven, earth, and ancestors.

That is, the so-called "Hebei ceremony", which is the next to worshiping gods and ancestors. Every time Zhao Bing and the Queen worship, they will eat and drink wine once, which is what the folk call "drink wine". The original meaning of "hebei" is to combine the opened gourd into one, which is often used in ancient times. The wine in the emperor and the descendants of the gourds are mixed together and drink together is the "hebei". In ancient times, a gourd was cut into two gourds, and the bride and groom each held one, drank the glass of wine, and took the meaning of "hebei".

At the banquet of the same house, Zhao Bing and Wu Xi sat opposite each other. The bride poured a glass of wine and handed it to the groom; the groom took a sip and handed it to the bride, and the bride drank it all. The groom poured a glass of wine and handed it to the bride; the bride took a sip and gave it to the groom, and the groom drank it in one sip. The advantage of this is that my stomach was full before I went to bed, so I would not be hungry. Because drinking some wine can also adjust the interests of both parties, which is also a flirting method before I went to bed.

When going to bed, you should also talk about order. After performing a ceremony, you should drink a glass of wine and go to bed. However, the emperor is the groom, and the bed cannot be easily taken. It must be divided into order, that is, order. The emperor took the empress into the bridal chamber and went to bed like this: the emperor was taken to the room by the palace servants who were attending the bed, took off his crown clothes, and changed into plain clothes; the empress was first introduced into the tent by the palace servants, and the palace servants took off her dress first, and then led the emperor in plain clothes into the same bed with the queen, and spent a good night together.

However, the wedding was completed and the aftermath was still not over. The next day, Zhao Bing and Empress Wu Xi went to Kunning Palace to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager, and then took the Empress to worship the ancestors. He secretly thanked him that there was only the Empress Dowager in the palace, and the other concubines of the late emperor were all "invited" away by the Mongols. Otherwise, his head would not be able to be completed today with his father's lust.

You should know that his father was famous for his lust as the crown prince, and he still did this after becoming the emperor. According to the old rules in the palace, if the palace concubine was called to sleep with the emperor at night, he would go to Hemen to thank the emperor for his favor the next morning, and the eunuch in charge would record the date of his honor in detail. When he first became the emperor, one day there were more than 30 palace concubines who came to Hemen to thank him. Think about how many "Xiao Mom" ​​with a name would know?

But there are advantages and disadvantages. After paying homage to the empress dowager, Zhao Bing went to Chuigong Hall to declare the world's wedding. Wu Xi led the concubines to worship the emperor as the queen, and then went to the empress dowager's bedroom again to pay homage to the newlyweds. The empress dowager would present gifts to the newlyweds and congratulate them. With fewer mothers, the gifts received naturally were much less. At this time, Zhao Bing went to Daqing Hall to accept the congratulations of the princes and ministers, and finally held a banquet to entertain the empress's family and give gifts. This was the end.

However, Zhao Bing would be the New Year's Day celebration on that day. He needed to rest and prepare to move to Zhiyuan Hall from the bedroom. Naturally, Wu Xi could not live anymore and moved to his Ningfu Palace. In other words, the two of them arrived for three days, and they only lived together for one night and separated, which was a record.

"Why did the official family move back so quickly?" The little emperor was most happy when he came back. As one of the emperor's women, the lively scene yesterday had nothing to do with him. You can imagine how she was feeling. He asked happily and puzzledly.

"I haven't had a good rest for many days, and I'm really tired. The maids who came with the queen's dowry are clumsy and can't do anything well. They can't even make a cup of tea. Thinking about it, they are still comfortable in their nest, so they find a reason to move it back!" After Zhao Bing entered the house, with the help of Su Lan, he changed clothes and washed up, and lay on the soft couch and stretched his waist.

"The official family only stayed for one night and returned in a hurry. The queen was afraid that she would be unhappy. It was uncomfortable to live there, so you can also go to Miss Chen or Miss Li's place!" Su Lan said, tidying up the clothes that the little emperor changed.

"Wouldn't that cause trouble? If I leave the palace, I will go to those palaces. The queen's jealous jar will not be overturned. If I cause some trouble, I will have to clean up the mess. This is my permanent residence, and no one will say much when I come back." Zhao Bing turned over and said.

"Since the official family knows it very well, then when I come back here, wouldn't I offend all the ladies? The days ahead will be even more sad." Su Lan was stunned when she heard this, and then chuckled.

"I've been so annoyed these days. How could I think so much about it? Let's talk about it for a few days!" Zhao Bing waved his hand.

"The officials, how can they be upset when they are happy one after another? And the queen, Wen Xian and kind, and understanding, how can it upset the officials?" Su Lan smiled and said.

"Oh, I got up early for several days, struggled for most of the day, drank a few glasses of wine, and fell asleep as soon as I got up early in the morning. I went to pay my respects for a day. I really didn't see what Wen Xianshuliang is!" Zhao Bing sighed lightly.

"Official family, where did this come from the aromatherapy ball? I remember that Your Majesty never wears these things." Su Lan, who was packing her clothes, suddenly found that there was an object in the little emperor's clothes and asked strangely.

"Shh, let's say a little bit, this is what I stolen from the queen!" Zhao Bing heard it and snatched it over, and said guiltily.

"Stealed..." Su Lan was stunned when she heard this. The little emperor had no habit of wearing sachets in the past, nor did he have the hobby of "stealing" women's things. Why did he steal the queen's aromatherapy ball just after her wedding today?

"Don't tell outsiders, you think this aromatherapy ball is good?" Although Zhao Bing said so, he shook the aromatherapy ball in his hand and shook it in front of Su Lan's eyes.

"This aromatherapy ball looks very exquisite, but it is not a rare thing. Why did the official steal it?" Su Lan looked at it but said in confusion.

"Isn't such exquisite things rare?" Zhao Bing said in surprise.

This morning, he accidentally discovered the aromatherapy ball placed by Wu Xi in front of the bed. He was curious to take it over and play with it. He found that because the two ring-shaped movable shafts of the device are at the center of gravity, the concentric ring-shaped movable shafts play a mechanical balance. Therefore, no matter how the smoked ball rotates, the two ring-shaped movable shafts rotate accordingly, and the small movable shafts can always remain in a horizontal state. The ignited spices are placed in the small movable shell so that they will not spill due to reversal.

This discovery was very shocking to him. The aromatherapy ball was exquisite and transparent, flexible and flexible when rotating, and balanced. The scientific and ingenious design was amazing. You should know that its leveling device fully complies with the principle of gyroscopes. This principle was discovered in modern times in Europe and the United States and was widely used in the fields of aviation and navigation, while China had mastered this principle at the latest at this time. Then he could use this discovery to sail so that he could better grasp the state of the ship, so he hid one and brought it back.

"As far as I know, this kind of aromatherapy ball was already available in the Tang Dynasty, hanging next to the calf cart. The car was passing by, and the cigarettes were like clouds, and the wealthy officials in the dynasty were still used. Seeing that the ball was small and exquisite, it must be hidden in the queen's sleeves, so that the body could maintain the fragrance. It could also be placed in the quilt at night, but the official family was holding it casually." Su Lan said lightly.

"Oh, I thought I had obtained a treasure? It turned out to be an ordinary thing, but why did I never see my sister use it?" Zhao Bing sighed quite disappointed and asked strangely.

"I know that the government has never liked the spirit of powder and burned incense and clothes, so I have never used it. The palace has always lacked female relatives, so it is not surprising that the government has never seen it." Su Lan said with a smile.

"Oh, so that's it. No wonder I felt so uncomfortable in the bedroom last night. I couldn't help but want to sneeze. I thought it was because of the cold. It turned out that it was smelling of powder." Zhao Bing rubbed his nose and said.

"Don't underestimate the officials, or call the imperial physician to see him. The next day, there will be a grand ceremony. There are still many things to do. Don't get sick!" After hearing what the little emperor said, Su Lan became nervous and reached out to touch his forehead and said.

"It doesn't matter, just make me a cup of hot tea!" Zhao Bing waved his hand and said.

"Official family..." The little emperor could not take it seriously, but Su Lan could not. She still asked Xiaohuangmen to find Sishi Shanggong to make the little emperor a medicine soup to remove wind and cold. But when he returned to the hall, His Majesty had already taken the aromatherapy ball into pieces. She was studying it carefully, and she sighed and put the hot tea down, turned around and took out the paper and pen from the cabinet and placed it on the table, quietly retreating aside...

Because he married his wife, everything about the Mid-year-old festival was hosted by Empress Wu Xi. New Year's Eve is coming in a blink of an eye. This year, the palace imports are naturally much more lively than in previous years. The empress dowager was very happy. Zhao Bing and several concubines accompanied him to stay up late to stay up until the Yin hour to prepare for the New Year's Day celebration. If New Year's Day to New Year's Eve is regarded as a grand show performed every year, then the grand show on New Year's Day early is the opening ceremony of this drama.

This type of dynasty meeting is only held twice a year. Apart from New Year's Day, it is the winter solstice. It is the grandest show that a dynasty's inner spirit and external brilliance is the greatest show. Even any tiny details should be as beautiful as military and national affairs. In addition, the emperor's wedding this year, and the empress dowager will completely withdraw from government affairs today and hand it over to the young emperor for power, which is even more grand and lively.

This year's Grand Palace Conference was held in the newly completed Daqing Hall, and the so-called renewal of everything is even more true. Daqing Hall is undoubtedly the most important building in the palace city. It is a symbol of etiquette for a regime. All ceremonies about the dignity of the dynasty are held here. Just like a big star often has many stage names, it is also a hall that is used for many reasons. During the Zhengshu Dynasty, it was called Daqing Hall; Jinshi sang the name, called Jiying Hall; worshiping gods and offering sacrifices to heaven, called Mingtang Hall; celebrating the birthdays of the emperor and the queen, also called Zichen Hall... Of course, it also has a more popular common name - the Golden Palace.

Before the day of the New Year was dawn, civil and military officials began to schedule outside Lizhengmen. The censor in charge of the agenda was even more proud. He was not affected by the conviction of Ding Qi at the time, but became even more severe. Of course, it was to the court officials. Now even the royal relatives were called to the earthly entourage.

The villain must have a climate to succeed. The solemnity and grandeur of the great court meeting gave them arrogance and domineering confidence. They shouted sternly, "Ban Qi?" The guards answered one by one: "Ban Qi!" The formation was like checking the command when the army gathered. After the team was rectified, the palace gate had not opened yet, so everyone had to shrank in the cold wind and wait for the fifth update to report. The timing of the palace was shorter than that of the folk. After the fifth update of the palace, the fourth update of the folk ended. Therefore, after the fifth update of the palace, the sound of the drums and drums sounded alternately, called "storage points", which means publishing standard time.

The sound of drums and drums gathered at the fifth hour finally rang out on the city tower. At this time, through the kiss on the corner of the Daqing Hall, there were still sparse stars. So the palace gate slowly opened, and the creaking sound of the door shaft shone sharply across the dim night sky with a sharp look. The officials tiptoed and looked solemn, and the New Year's Day ceremony of Xiangxing began.

But strictly speaking, this year's grand dynasty meeting is not "big". Of course, all civil and military officials and New Year's envoys from all over the country have come, and no one is missing. Moreover, this year is more solemn and solemn than in previous years. The newly prepared ceremonial guards such as Dharma drivers, umbrella fans, ritual guards, and ceremonial music are all used to support the scene. When I was in Qiongzhou, everything was pieced together and I never had the same atmosphere today.

But it is not big, because although he returned to the old capital, there were no foreign envoys to congratulate the people from all directions. The so-called "all nations are dressed and worshiped by the crowns and slaughtered" was the atmosphere of the Han and Tang dynasties. Even the foreign guests who congratulated him in Tokyo were still quite considerable. After the southward transition, there were still some small diplomatic countries coming to eat and drink. However, now the Mongols and Yuan have dominated the world and all countries have surrendered. Who dares to come to the Song Dynasty to find uncomfortable? At first, the Ministry of Rites wanted to find some foreign merchants to support the scene, but Zhao Bing refused it, thinking that it was not embarrassing enough.
