This journey is not to enter the palace, but to move to a higher place in life, and relatives and friends are not absent, which makes the Crown Princess and his wife very grateful.
Arriving at the palace, Xu Yi and Tang Yang, together with the people from the East Palace, helped unload the things, and they took their whole family to pay their respects to Emperor Ming Yuan first.
Emperor Ming Yuan originally wanted to go to Meizhuang first, but the Ministry of Rites suggested that he should finish the enthronement ceremony first and wait until the new emperor paid homage to him before going there. This would avoid the new emperor having to go to Meizhuang to kowtow on the day of the enthronement ceremony.
This wasted time. After all, there were a lot of things to do that day, including offering sacrifices to heaven, praying to the Ancestral Temple, and all the other rituals were extremely grand, and at the same time, very complicated.
The current arrangement is that the coronation ceremony and the coronation ceremony will be held at the same time, lasting three days.
Because Yu Wenhao had already got married, the procedures that should have been simplified, and only the worship of heaven and earth and the banquet were retained. As for the new queen's dowry and dowry, etc., they were all handled by the court. King Huai had already taken care of these and was just waiting for the day to come.
He was sent to the palace.
The entire Northern Tang Dynasty was waiting for this grand ceremony. For example, in the days before the New Year, the atmosphere was very intense, and various folk celebrations were going on, because when the new emperor ascended the throne, he would definitely reduce taxes and provide amnesty to the world.
This is the highlight of people's expectations. Naturally, they also expect the new emperor to bring a new atmosphere to the Northern Tang Dynasty.
The East Palace had been renovated once before. When Yu Wenhao was canonized as the prince, the Queen Mother had been looking forward to the prince coming to live in the palace. Unfortunately, the Queen Mother did not wait. Therefore, Yu Wenhao and Yuan Qingling went to the ancestral temple after paying homage to Emperor Ming Yuan.
Here I comfort the Empress Dowager’s spirit in heaven.
Bao Bao and the others actually still have memories of the Empress Dowager, saying that their great-grandmother loved them very much. They also remember that when their great-grandmother hugged them, she smiled so much that wrinkles formed at the corners of her eyes.
Yuan Qingling thought of the Queen Mother, and felt very sad in her heart. This old lady was really kind to her. If she could survive it, she would be able to watch her fifth son ascend the throne as emperor.
The first night they spent in the East Palace, neither of them slept.
The most important thing is that I'm not used to it.
Thinking about Prince Chu's Mansion, I really want to.
The East Palace is much more luxurious than the Prince of Chu's Palace, and the decoration and furniture are all very good, even better than the Qiankun Palace. In the courtyard, the wind blows the fragrance of flowers, the night birds flutter, and the footsteps of the imperial patrols are occasionally heard in the distance, and even
It can be foreseen that the life here is not as free as the Chu Palace.
The luxury here is all enclosed, and the palace walls stretch as far as the eye can see.
Since they couldn't sleep, the two of them got up and took a walk. The lights were everywhere, mottled and blurry, and everything in front of them was very dreamy.
Yu Wenhao was wearing moon-white pajamas, his sleeves were full in the night wind, and his hair was pitch black. The light in the yard was bright, dimming the moonlight. He clung to Yuan Qing's Ling Weiliang fingers and moved forward slowly.
From the fifth prince back then, to being named the King of Chu, and then from the King of Chu to the Crown Prince, to the new emperor who is about to ascend the throne now, he has made a very difficult but steady step step by step.
"Old Yuan, I feel like I'm dreaming, but I don't know why, but I feel that this dream is not very beautiful. There is an invisible mountain pressing down on my shoulders. It's better to be the king of Chu Xiaoyao." Yu Wenhao murmured.
.
Yuan Qing Lingqiao smiled sweetly, "Is it tiring to be a prince?"
"It's tiring. Being a prince is really tiring." Yu Wenhao said.
"Then being an emperor will not be more tiring than being a prince, but are you afraid of being tired?"
Yu Wenhao thought for a while, "If you can show your ambition, you won't be tired."
This is Lao Wu, who seems to be ordinary, but in fact he has the righteousness of the world.
Yuan Qingling curled her lips and her eyes were like stars, "Then we might as well look forward to what the future of Beitang will be like."
