Chapter 17: The Great Wedding


On February 13th, these more than 300 palace ladies entered the sixth level of Jin Concubine.

The palace sent special personnel to observe them for a month.

Based on their temperament and speech, they judged whether they were gentle and honest, wise and virtuous.

Based on this, another 250 people were screened out.

So by March 13th, Zhu Youxiao had fifty concubines.

At this time, it was time to enter the seventh level and choose three.

At this time, Liu Zhaofei took action personally.

She summoned the fifty concubines one by one, talked to them, asked them about their family situation, their usual hobbies, etc., and also asked them to show off their talents, mainly in calligraphy, arithmetic, poetry, painting, etc.

The process was very long.

Hakka asked Zhu Youxiao if he wanted to go and have a look.

There were only fifty people there now, and all of them were high-quality products.

Zhu Youxiao was so moved by lust, oh, not lust, but love for beauty, that he decided to disguise himself and go see these fifty beauties on March 14th.

However, on the morning of the 14th, the urgent news from Liaodong knocked all his love for beauty away, and Nurhaci attacked Shenyang.

Zhu Youxiao lost interest in looking at beauties, and ordered the guest family to pay close attention to ensure that Zhang Yan did not lose the election, and then eagerly waited for the follow-up information about Liaodong.

After a long conversation and talent show, Concubine Liu Zhao finally selected three ladies on the first day of April, the Zhang family from Xiangfu County, Henan, the Wang family from Daxing County, Shuntian Prefecture, and the Duan family from Yingyang Wei, Nanjing.

Keshi reported that during the whole process, neither she nor Li Xuanshi said anything slanted to Concubine Liu Zhao, and Concubine Liu Zhao had chosen everything herself.

This made Zhu Youxiao's vision and luck even more frustrating.

But when he thought about Liaodong, he couldn't hold back because Shenyang fell.

On the second day of April, Concubine Liu Zhao reported the final results to the emperor, and the last step was for the emperor to choose the queen.

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and decided to summon these three ladies on the third day of junior high school.

He originally wanted to have a little flirtation with Zhang Yan and tease the orb, but the incident in Liaodong made him a little less interested.

However, when he saw the three ladies the next day, he was still shocked by the beauty in front of him.

I haven't seen Zhang Yan for more than a year.

This little lady has grown a little taller.

I just thought she was beautiful before, and that was the overall feeling.

Now that I look closely, she is really pretty and plump, with a face like a Guanyin and eyes like autumn waves.

The mouth is like a red cherry blossom, the nose is like hanging gallbladder, and the teeth are white and fine.

It seemed that Zhu Youxiao was yearning for him.

Ignoring her surprised expression, she looked at Mrs.

Duan.

Mrs.

Duan was naturally very beautiful, and she even had a hint of martial spirit.

As for Mrs.

Wang, she was a typical gentle and beautiful woman.

Zhu Youxiao's heart was Thinking about it, these three people with different styles can all look so beautiful.

It shows that nature has created them, and it is really magical.

After the three girls exited, he looked undecided and asked Zhao Xuan: "I wonder which one your Majesty thinks is suitable to be the queen?"

"Your Majesty, I feel that Mrs.

Zhang is generous, graceful and noble, and is suitable to be my queen."

"Well, let's pass the decree and make Zhang the queen, Duan the pure concubine, and Wang the good concubine.

The rest will be rewarded and returned to their original places."

"Your Majesty must not send them back to their original places.

These fifty should all be His Majesty's concubines."

Zhao Xuanshi hurriedly stopped them.

"But when the late emperor selected the crown prince, didn't he return all the beauties he selected for three consecutive years to their original places?"

When his father was the crown prince, he selected the crown prince, and finally selected three people.

His father chose Guo, and the other two were not selected.

The Crown Princess was rewarded and returned to her original place.

He heard this from the old man in the palace.

"That is the Crown Princess.

Your Majesty is choosing a concubine for the first time.

Of course, you must choose more than one.

You must consider the royal heirs.

Folks also believe that having more children means you will be blessed."

Zhu Youxiao felt that he did not come to the Ming Dynasty to be a stud, so he felt that three women were enough.

But Concubine Liu Zhao and the Shike clan Zhao Xuanshi and Li Xuanshi didn't think so.

The two parties were at loggerheads, and then Zhao Xuanshi said that he would discuss it with the outer court.

Even Zhu Youxiao knew what the outcome would be after such a discussion, so he compromised.

Except for these three ladies, the rest are temporarily acting as palace maids and will be canonized later.

So the emperor decreed that the Zhang family of Xiangfu County, Kaifeng Prefecture, should be the queen, his father Zhang Guoji should be the minister of Honglu Temple, and his brother Zhang Cheng should be the Jinyi Guard Qianhu.

The emperor is finally getting married.

After going through all the procedures of accepting, asking for names, accepting, applying, and applying for appointments, on the second day of May, the last step was finally arrived.

Although it is called a personal wedding, it is naturally impossible for the emperor to welcome the bride in person.

He should let a minister with both sons and daughters greet the bride on his behalf.

This is a rare honor.

Zhu Youxiao chose Xu Guangqi, which moved Xu Guangqi to tears.

That afternoon, he led the wedding team to the Guozhang's Mansion.

This was not the Shajia Hutong, but the Guozhang's Mansion on Qipan Street given by the emperor.

After entering the palace, the Jin Yiwei sedan bearers carried the queen's courtesy carriage and dragon pavilion to the front yard, and the eunuchs carried them to the embroidery building in the backyard and parked them in the direction specified by the eunuch of Qin Tianjian.

The bride puts on the queen's dress, puts on her phoenix crown and harem, receives the queen's gold book and gold treasure, and then returns to the embroidery building to wait for the auspicious moment.

When the auspicious time comes, the bride gets on the ceremonial carriage, and the welcoming procession marches through the city into Tiananmen, which is later known as Chengtianmen.

It enters the Forbidden City through the doorway in the middle of the Meridian Gate and arrives at the Qianqing Gate.

The bride was guided into Kunning Palace.

Here, Zhu Youxiao was wrapped like a rice dumpling.

With an eager mood, he followed the ceremony like a puppet and made various movements.

Finally, he waited for the ceremony.

The sound of being sent into the bridal chamber made him let out a sigh of relief.

The door of the bridal chamber is pasted with bright red Chinese characters and couplets, a Baizi curtain is hung on the bed, the bed is covered with a Baizi quilt, and a bright red curtain embroidered with dragon and phoenix double happiness hangs above the bed.

After entering the bridal chamber, one must first worship heaven, earth and ancestors, and then perform the Henu ceremony, which means drinking a cup of wine.

Zhang Yan poured a glass of wine and handed it to Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao took a sip and handed it to Zhang Yan, who drank it all in one gulp.

Then Zhu Youxiao poured a glass of wine and gave it to Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan took a sip and gave it back to Zhu Youxiao, who drank it all in one sip.

After drinking, the fire in Zhu Youxiao's heart burned even more intensely.

At this time, the eunuch led him out and into the Nuan Pavilion next to him.

He finally took off his rice dumpling auspicious clothes and changed into regular clothes.

Zhu Youxiao asked to take a shower first and entered Kunning Palace feeling refreshed.

Zhang Yan also changed into regular clothes.

The goose-yellow jacket and skirt made her figure even more attractive.

Zhu Youxiao said hurriedly: "Queen, let's go to bed."

At this time, the maid next to him drove the eunuch out, and then came back and stood beside him.

Zhu Youxiao said: "You guys can go out too."

A palace maid knelt down and replied: "Your Majesty, we serve the emperor and the queen."

This was a rule, but Zhu Youxiao didn't know it, so she waved her hand and said: "You don't need to Wait, put your things down and go out
