Dongyue has ordered the ghost slaves to roll the red carpet from the foot of Tiande Hall to the middle of the hall. On the large red carpet, there is a dragon and phoenix embroidered with gold silk every ten feet.
A guard of honor was also arranged outside the Tiande Hall, and a nvle was arranged inside the Tiande Hall. In front of the high platform in the deep part of the hall, three long tables were placed in the shape of "pin". The deepest table was filled with various important items.
There are two enamel circular incense burners placed in front of the tablets of ancient gods.
On the two long tables on the left and right in front of this long table, the seal is placed on one table, and the imperial edict is placed on the other table.
Xiao Shizhu and Ghost Mother first stood outside the palace. When noon arrived, Dongyue, who had already changed into regular clothes, faced the direction of the palace gate and shouted loudly, "The auspicious time has arrived!". Then they saw Dongyue who had just arrived.
, the ministers standing outside the palace gate dressed in robes and headed towards Tiande Hall under the leadership of Chun Yun and Xia Xing.
Yingzhao Lu Wu, Wu Zhiqi and Yu Rong, as well as Qinyuan and Wuda Qianhu, were also among them. But because they were only Qianhu, they were ranked at the end of the line of hundreds of officials. But for them, this was also an unforgettable experience
It's such an honor. What's more, it's unheard of for a queen to get married since ancient times. It's an eye-opener to see it once.
Ghost Mother and Xiao Shizhu, surrounded by Dongyue and guards, as well as Ghost Slaves and maids, entered the main hall first. When the ministers came outside the main hall, they suddenly stood still and waited quietly.
After entering the hall, Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother walked slowly to the three long tables and stood in front of them. Dongyue, who was in charge of the wedding, shouted: "Go to the temple to see the ceremony, kowtow to the gods, and play music!". As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up.
The musicians on both sides of the hall began to play and play. Amidst the festive and peaceful music, a pair of boys and girls dressed like golden boys and girls, carved in pink and jade, walked out from both sides and held the
The incense was handed to Xiao Shizhu and Ghost Mother.
"Kneel down!" Dongyue waited for them to take the incense, and then sang in a long tone: "Send incense!".
"I won't kneel!" Xiao Shizhu straightened his back after hearing this, with a look of displeasure on his face, and cursed confidently: "I have never even knelt down for my parents, so what's the point of asking me to kneel down for a few pieces of rotten wood?
?”.
Dongyue suddenly showed a look of embarrassment, this was an indispensable part of the ceremony, but it was unavoidable; but at present, although Xiao Shizhu's official rank was not high, he was the husband of his own monarch, and he could not be beaten or scolded.
Just when she was thinking about how to convince Xiao Shizhu, the stubborn donkey, the ghost mother whispered in Xiao Shizhu's ear: "You are the Holy Son. Although you are a human soul, you were born of an ancient god. Although I don't know who your Majesty Lingci is.
You are an ancient god, but there must still be tablets of your parents among these tablets; isn’t it appropriate to kneel to your parents?”
After hearing this, Xiao Shizhu thought about it for a while and felt that it was right, so he stopped complaining and followed etiquette.
As Dongyue sang loudly: "Sheng, worship!", the couple took down the tablets and knelt down, respectfully offered incense, two incense, and three incense, then kowtowed again, kowtowed again, and kowtowed three times!
After everything was completed, Xiao Shizhu did not forget to curse: "It's really troublesome."
"The ceremony is over!" Dongyue shouted, and Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother slowly stood up. The ghost slaves hurriedly removed the long table displaying the tablets, and Dongyue sang again: "Ascend the throne, and the ministers enter the palace!"
.
As soon as they finished speaking, the ghost slaves and maids welcomed Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother to sit on the throne on the high platform deep in the hall. Fortunately, the seat was not narrow, otherwise they would not be able to sit down.
After the ministers entered the palace and lined up under the high platform according to the civil and military categories, Dongyue picked up the edict on the long table, stood facing the ministers, cleared her throat, and recited aloud: "I became king in Shuoyue."
After coming to the island, the palace dragon throne has been vacant for thousands of years, and I have been lonely in the underworld under such storms. Fortunately, with God's help, the current general Xiao Shizhu is majestic, talented, quick-thinking, upright and selfless, and loyal to the country and the people.
Geng Geng, high-spirited and upright; he also conquered the east and west, stabilized the four directions, brave and resourceful, self-restraint and serving the public, he can be the husband of this king. Now the orphan has awarded him the gold dragon seal, made him a general, commanded the army of the whole country, and allowed him to accompany him.
Together we can rule the ghost kingdom." As Dongyue started to speak, the golden boy and girl came over again and took the seal from the long table below. After getting to the high platform, they knelt down in front of Xiao Shizhu and held it in both hands.
He dedicated it to him with the seal of Chi Niu.
Xiao Shizhu took the seal and hung it around his waist with the help of the ghost mother.
And this edict was written by Dong Yue as if he were crossing the river by feeling for stones; after all, before this, everyone had only heard about the concubine being conferred, but never heard about the queen leaving the cabinet, so the edict was not very satisfactory, and it was almost meaningless.
But after Xiao Shizhu heard her reciting it, he frowned and asked the ghost mother: "Why do I hear the meaning of this edict, as if I am a visiting uncle?".
The ghost mother smiled softly and whispered in his ear: "It's not like you said you didn't want to be the king, so I have no choice but to interrupt the door."
Hearing this, Xiao Shizhu looked at her with a faint smile, put his arms around her waist and whispered: "It's not that time yet, but I will be the king when the time comes.".
The two of them were chatting happily when salutes were fired outside the palace, and the ministers below had already begun to kowtow to the ground and shout long live. Xiao Shizhu turned his head and looked at the ministers from above. After taking a deep breath, he enjoyed his rights.
With the excitement brought about, he smiled proudly and said: "This feels so good. No wonder so many people in the world want to rebel and become emperors even at the risk of being beheaded.".
As soon as he finished speaking, the maids, under Dongyue's command, went up to the high platform, surrounded the ghost mother who had already stood up, and headed out of the palace without looking back.
Xiao Shizhu was confused. After all, he had never been married, and he had never seen such a classic wedding. So he hurriedly waved to Dongyue and said, "Where are you going to send my wife?".
"Replying to the general." Dongyue turned to face him, bowed slightly and said, "They just sent my lord into the bridal chamber prepared for you in the inner court. And according to your request, we have already
I ordered the imperial dining room to prepare a banquet and set it up in the square outside Tiande Hall to entertain the officials. Next, it’s time for you, general, to toast the officials.”
"That is to say, the ceremony is over?" Xiao Shizhu stood up suddenly and stretched out as before. Seeing Dongyue nod her head, Xiao Shizhu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to have to do this troublesome ceremony again, so he didn't
Waiting for Dongyue to say anything else, she said loudly to the ministers: "Let's go have a drink."
Just after nightfall, Xiao Shizhu, who was a little tipsy, was escorted by the imperial army and walked toward the inner court with three steps. When he arrived at the Tianning Palace, the ghost mother's original palace, he saw that the palace had been decorated.
into their wedding room.
Big red couplets were hung on both sides of the palace gate. Box-frame tables throughout the house were decorated with paper-cut red candles that illuminated the new house as if it were a dream. At the same time, the red light shone brightly, creating a joyful atmosphere in the house.
The ghost mother sat on the wedding bed deep in the hall, with a hint of waiting anxiety between her brows. The bed was covered with a silk quilt embroidered with a hundred children with different looks, and was covered with a large red jacquard camel hair blanket, with a red jacquard camel hair blanket in the middle. A large Chinese character "囍" is embroidered on gold silk, surrounded by dragons and phoenixes. There is a pair of jade pillows placed at the head of the bed, and against the wall there is a pair of red-faced brocade quilts embroidered with phoenix and Luan. In addition, In addition, there are dates, chestnuts, peanuts, lotus seeds and other items on the bed, and a red satin bed curtain with dragon and phoenix embroidered with double happiness hangs above the bed.
There were tall incense burners placed on the ground on both sides of the bed, with sandalwood burning inside, which made the hall smell fragrant and fragrant, and also made Xiao Shizhu feel calm.
He walked to the bed and stood still, waving his hand to indicate that Chen Ruo could leave; as for eating "Zisun Dumplings" and drinking "Hexin", he was so easily exempted from the rituals.
When he and the ghost mother were the only ones left in the hall, he walked to the ghost mother and sat down next to him. He hugged the other person with one hand and grabbed the other person's hand with the other hand. He let out a long wine burp and grabbed the bed. I ate a peanut on the table.
The drunk ghost mother didn't show any disgust towards him, but asked shyly: "What are you doing?".
"What are you doing? What did you say you were doing?" Xiao Shizhu smiled evilly, turned his head and widened his eyes, looking at the shy expression lingering on the ghost mother's face, and said: "I was going to drink a few more drinks just now, but Ying Zhao and Wu Zhiqi insisted that I come back soon. They also said that if I get drunk today, they will not be able to explain to you in the future. I patted my chest and told them, I am the kind of person who gets anxious when he sees his wife. Are you a ghost who entered the bridal chamber? But they refused to obey and forced me to come back and have a bridal chamber with you. So what do you think we should do now? Can we not accept their 'kindness'?", said Wan smiled stupidly at the ghost mother.
"You're so drunk that you've left me here for a long time, but you still have the nerve to say it." After the ghost mother let out a coquettish voice, she raised her hand and patted his chest gently, then pretended to be angry, turning slightly to the side and looking away.
Xiao Shizhu let her go and stood up, took three or five steps steadily, and said, "Do you think I'm drunk?" Before he finished speaking, he staggered, fell forward, and fell to the ground. He fell face to face on the ground. He did this on purpose. In addition, there was a red carpet on the ground, so it would be fine if he fell, so he dared to fall on purpose.
When the ghost mother saw him, her heart suddenly became tense. She quickly stood up, picked up her skirt, walked quickly to him and squatted down. She stretched out her hand to shake him and said urgently: "Husband? Husband?".
Suddenly, Xiao Shizhu turned over and looked up at the anxious and worried look on the ghost mother's face. He smiled and asked, "Are you feeling distressed?" He grabbed the ghost mother's hand and pulled her down on him. , hugged tightly and smiled.
"I asked you to scare me." Seeing the corner of his mouth raised with a wicked smile, the ghost mother knew that he had deliberately scared her, so she couldn't help but raise her pink fist and hit him on the chest, while saying angrily with a sullen look on her face. : "You are so bad. How could I like such a bad guy like you?" After saying that, he rolled his eyes at Xiao Shizhu.
"Then I have to ask you." After she hit her a few times, Xiao Shizhu got an advantage and behaved well. He looked at her features with interest and asked: "It's not too late to regret it. I'll leave now and go back to my Tengu." Go to the garden or the Xiao family army camp."
"How dare you!" The ghost mother raised her eyebrows and glared at him.
"Hahaha, you still can't bear to leave me." Xiao Shizhu was even more proud to see that she believed the truth and her eyes were nervous. He helped the ghost mother stand up, and then took advantage of her unpreparedness, bent over, and put his left hand on the ghost mother's shoulder blade.
down, put your fingers under your left armpit, put your right hand on the crook of her leg, pick up the ghost mother with both hands and hold her across her chest.
This was the first time since the ghost mother was born that she had been hugged by a ghost like this. Excitement and joy suddenly surged from the bottom of her heart. While it swam all over her body and opened all the pores in her body, there was also a trace of nervousness in her heart; she wanted to break away, but
Afraid of falling, he could only subconsciously wrap his right hand around Xiao Shizhu's neck, and clasp his left hand with his right hand to form a ring, which gave him a lot of peace of mind.
"Let's go into the bridal chamber!" Xiao Shizhu carried her to the bed and put her down. He stretched out his hand and pulled off her embroidered shoes, then he lay on top of her and stared at her almond-shaped face and peach cheeks for a closer look.
"What are you looking at?" The ghost mother looked shy, turned her head away quickly, and asked in a low voice: "It's not like I've never seen it before."
Xiao Shizhu didn't feel embarrassed when he heard this. Instead, he deliberately smacked his lips, showed a look of disgust, pretended to complain, and said: "I said, wife, you should lose weight. You only have a few kilograms of meat, so why is it so heavy when you hold it?
?”.
The ghost mother was stunned, and in a moment she realized that Xiao Shizhu was teasing her, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she turned her head and opened Cherry's little mouth. The next second, she suddenly raised her head and bit Xiao Shizhu's left shoulder without hesitation.
Gone.
It wasn't until Xiao Shizhu shivered in pain and began to groan that she let go, admiring the other person's grinning look, and said proudly: "I'll let you talk nonsense." After saying that, she put her hands around his neck again.
