After drinking the wine together, the time was about to be decided. The two masters of harem etiquette and daily life, Shang Yi, knelt down to the north and said: "After the ceremony, Xing."
The Ming Dynasty established a female official system in the harem, with a total of six bureaus and one department, namely the Shang Palace Bureau, Shang Yi Bureau, Shang Fu Bureau, Shang Food Bureau, Shang Bed Bureau, Shang Gong Bureau, and Gong Zhengsi.
These departments are all composed of women, with a total of about 300 people, and they hold high positions in the harem. The most important ones are the Shanggong Bureau, Zhang Zhonggong and the Sixth Bureau Cashier's Documents; they have four divisions; two Shanggong Bureau The fifth grade is controlled by the queen.
The second most important one is the Shangyi Bureau, which has four divisions and a "Tongshi", which is the sixth rank. It is in charge of banquets to see the order of entering the imperial court - all the concubines and concubines are in the king's palace. The Tongshi carefully records the sun and the moon.
Those who knelt down to greet the emperor and then finished the ceremony were the two ministers of the Shangyi Bureau, who were in charge of etiquette and daily life matters. ”.
Immediately, Shang Yi led the emperor and the queen into the bridal chamber of the East Nuan Pavilion of Kunning Palace. The name of Kunning Palace comes from the original text of "Tao Te Ching": "In the past, those who had one, the sky would be clear, and the earth would be peaceful... "When the sky is unified, it becomes Qianqing; when the earth is unified, it becomes Kunning. Between the two palaces is the Jiaotai Palace - which means that the heaven and earth are in harmony and all things are born.
The entire Kunning Palace is nine rooms wide and three rooms deep. Just now the emperor and the empress were having a wedding in the main hall; the bridal chamber for the wedding was located in the Dongnuan Pavilion. The entire Forbidden City was decorated with joy today, especially the bridal chamber.
A pair of large palace lanterns with Double Happiness characters are hung in front of the Dongnuan Pavilion; at the entrance to the Dongnuan Pavilion from the main hall, and in the east aisle outside the bridal chamber, a large red wooden screen wall inlaid with gold is erected, which means the union of the emperor and the empress.
One of the two ministers from the Shang Gong Bureau serving in Kunning Palace first led Zhu Yijun into the Dongnuang Pavilion bridal chamber. When Zhu Yijun went in to see, Empress Dowager Chen and Li still spent a lot of thought on the decoration here:
Needless to say, the gold and jade treasures are magnificent. Dongnuan Pavilion has two open rooms. On the east side is the emperor's throne on the north wall, and on the right side is a jade handle with "good luck and good luck".
The front eaves are connected to a large Kang. On both sides of the Kang are carved red sandalwood dragons and phoenixes. There are porcelain bottles, treasures and other furnishings on the Kang table. A pair of Double Happiness table lamps are displayed on the long table on the left side in front of the Kang. In the northwest corner of the Dongnuan Pavilion, a sandalwood dragon and phoenix are placed. As for the bed, Zhu Yijun visually estimated that the bed was about one foot wide - divided into two rooms, inside and outside.
The wedding bed is covered with a thick red satin quilt with dragon and phoenix double happiness characters, and bedding is placed - a stacked ocher yellow satin and vermilion colored satin wedding quilt and wedding pillow. The pattern is beautiful, the embroidery is fine, and the wealth is gorgeous. .
Zhu Yijun took a brief look at the furnishings in the bridal chamber, then looked at Shang Gong who had led him here, and asked, "What's the next step?"
Shang Gong's surname was Sun. He was nearly middle-aged. Hearing that the emperor seemed to be impatient, he hurriedly got up and arranged for the palace maids to take off Zhu Yijun's crown clothes and put on ordinary clothes. After changing, Sun Shanggong patted her gently. Palm, the chef from Shangshi Bureau entered the bridal chamber again, and placed two more tables of banquets on the big Kang. The dishes were exactly the same as when the wedding ceremony was held in Kunning Palace.
Zhu Yijun touched his belly and asked with a smile: "Where is the queen?" Sun Shanggong pursed his lips and smiled, motioning the emperor to look to the side of the cave landlord - the curtains there were lifted, Zhuang Jingjia had removed her phoenix crown and dress, untied her hair, and was only wearing a middle coat Yi walked over under the guidance of the female officer.
It turned out that when Zhu Yijun was ushered into the bridal chamber, Zhang, another palace bureau official, led Zhuang Jingjia into the curtain, took off her crown, untied her hair, washed herself, and then entered the bridal chamber.
Zhu Yijun was pleasantly surprised, glanced at the clock on the Kang table, and said with a smile: "Is the Queen hungry?" Zhuang Jingjia didn't dare to look at him at all, her face was like a big red cloth, she lowered her head and shook her head.
Sun Shanggong smiled and said: "Your Majesty, if you and the queen don't eat, please give it to me." Zhu Yijun suddenly remembered that the last etiquette was for the emperor and the queen to give rice to those around them, so he nodded and said: "Well, I'll give it to you.
Eat, you have worked hard today."
Although Sun Shanggong was in the harem before, he had never seen the emperor before. Occasionally, they met in the Queen Mother's palace. They were all kneeling on the ground and could only see a corner of the dragon robe.
Seeing that the emperor's words were gentle and caring towards them, Sun Shanggong's eyes were slightly red and he quickly knelt down to express his gratitude. After getting up, he ordered someone to take out two insulated food boxes inlaid with gold and jade and put the dishes on the table.
I packed some rice and snacks and placed them next to the warm cage.
Before Sun Shanggong resigned, Zhuang Jingjia suppressed his shyness and ordered: "I will give my table to the Wei Dynasty and others; I will give you the emperor's table." After Sun Shanggong heard this, he and the others knelt down to thank him and said:
"Thank you for the reward, Your Highness."
It turns out that the last etiquette before entering the bridal chamber is that those who serve the emperor and the queen must share the emperor's and the queen's food - that is, "the queen's servants will eat the emperor's food, and the emperor's waiters will eat the queen's food." Zhu Yijun had been busy all day and had long forgotten.
Zhuang Jingjia took the initiative to arrange the cross-feast.
Because Zhu Yijun was in a hurry to get married, this last ritual was simplified. The emperor and the queen no longer ate this ceremonial meal. Sun Shanggong was considerate and used a food box to symbolize that the emperor and the queen had eaten, which was equivalent to giving it to the young couple.
After leaving some supper, he and all his attendants exited the bridal chamber.
Zhu Yijun saw that the doors of Dongnuan Pavilion were closed, and he and Zhuang Jingjia were the only two people left in the entire bridal chamber. He lifted up Zhuang Jingjia and walked to the wedding bed. Zhuang Jingjia let out a cry and buried her head in the emperor's arms, not daring to raise her head.
Zhu Yijun was not a person who shouted among flowers, burned harps and boiled cranes, but when he hugged Zhuang Jingjia and saw her stunning beauty after washing off the beauty, and smelled the vague fragrance of virginity on her body, how could he bear it?
live.
After getting on the bed, Zhuang Jingjia pushed her hard for a few times before Zhu Yijun calmed down. At this point, Zhuang Jingjia was no longer shy and bowed her head in a low voice and said in a low voice: "I am a newbie in human affairs, so please show mercy to the emperor."
Zhu Yijun was startled and said completely calmly: "I remember your birthday is the 28th of this month?" He beat a drum in his heart and said: "This... this is against the law." Then he changed his mind and said: "I
That’s the Dharma!”
Zhuang Jingjia was very happy when she saw that the emperor had remembered her birthday. She nodded and said, "My concubine's birthday is on the 28th of this month." After saying that, she turned around and rummaged in the Baobao Pavilion beside her bed.
Zhu Yijun asked curiously: "What are you looking for?" Zhuang Jingjia blushed and said: "Zhang Shanggong said that the white cloth is in this drawer, so I asked my concubine to lay it down first." After saying that, he took out a piece of white cloth from the drawer.
Zhu Yijun laughed and said, "There are too many rules today." Zhuang Jingjia nodded and said yes. Zhu Yijun said, "Although life is short, we are not in a hurry. We, husband and wife, lie down and talk first."
Zhuang Jingjia's nervous heart was like beating a drum. Just now the emperor was so anxious that she felt like her heart was going to jump out of her chest. Now that the emperor has calmed down, she felt like "you don't take my beauty seriously" again——
It was such a contradiction. But the emperor's words "We are husband and wife" directly melted her bones and flesh into a puddle of water.
Zhu Yijun was talking to her while gently stroking her hair; while slowly unbuttoning his middle coat, and then helping her undress; while talking, he kissed her forehead, and then looked at the girl and kissed her gently.
lips.
The queen was not Zhu Yijun's rival in two lifetimes, but for a moment, both of them were naked, facing each other.
The following time, for Zhu Yijun, was like "bringing out the red bird, holding the red hat, lifting the bare feet, caressing the breasts... But it was the couple who became a couple, so-called yin and yang."
Zhuang Jingjia was taken down by the emperor in a daze. The whole feeling was probably like this: "The embroidered curtain is hanging down, covering the cloud screen, and I am full of thoughts. The two pillows of coral are infinite, and the green hairpins are horizontal. I can see the slightest movement, and I hear every detail.
Sweet voice..."
As for the officials and maids on duty outside Kunning Palace, their feelings are probably like this: "Ask me how much sorrow I can have, it's just like a river of spring water flowing eastward..."
