On the fifteenth of the eighth month, the Chuxiu Palace was brightly lit in the middle of the night.
Wang Rong She had already awoken. The curtains by his bed had not been drawn up, and she was currently wearing her sleeping clothes as she meditated on the bed. Wulv softly said from outside the tent, ”Empress, the time is up.”
”Yes.” Wang Rong replied as Wulv and Xi Tao pulled up the curtains. Outside, the two palace maid stood side by side with copper pots, towels, teeth powder, etc.
After Wang Rong finished washing her face and rinsed her mouth, she stood there with her hands spread out, letting others put on layers of formal dresses. First, she would not be dressed in formal dresses, she had to wear this set of formal dresses to receive the golden jade seal of the Queen's Book, then, she would return and change into a formal gown. When they were dressed, they would sit in front of the dressing table. palace maid who combed her hair and made up her makeup, had all tried a few rounds a few days ago to choose her.
Zhang Cheng brought over a plate of glutinous rice dessert. When His Majesty was eating, he thought of the Empress and sent a plate of dim sum over. His Majesty said that the glutinous rice was resistant to hunger. ”
”His Majesty got up so early as well?” Wang Rong asked curiously. She thought that only women needed to put on makeup and change clothes, so they had to get up early.
”His Majesty only slept for two hours.” Zhang Cheng said.
Wang Rong and Jasmine asked Wuyou to get a cool and refreshing fragrance when they heard it. This cool and fragrant smell was made by her at home according to the recipe. The ratio of mint to jasmine was adjusted according to her likes and dislikes. Through the hollow lid of the small round white porcelain box, one could see the pale green paste inside. The hollow of the lid was the shape of a butterfly.
”This is a cool and refreshing fragrance, it's just right for me to use. I wonder if Your Majesty will like this fragrance.” Wang Rong He said. Wuyou then wrapped the incense box with a lotus and placed it on Zhang Cheng's tray.
Zhu Yijun dressed extravagantly to the Huangji Hall. After three whacks of the whip, the officials filed in, and after a few more pleasures of etiquette, Zhu Yijun sat quietly in front of the door of the hall, and once again cracked the whip.
The system sent the British Gongshu Ching to hold the festival, the University Scholar Zhang Juzheng, etc. to prepare the Queen's Book to welcome the ceremony.
In the center of the hall between the incense table and the Chuxiu Palace, there was a treasure table placed in front of it. Pu Dongbao Xi. The Queen is to be placed before the Book of Treasures. In the north, the Emperor and his wife were located in the north of the Empress's throne, in the south of the treasure book, and in the south of the treasure book. As soon as the inner and outer wives stood facing each other in the north, the two officials and the official were positioned in the north, facing each other in the east.
When the time came for them to make merry, Wang Rong and the others would slowly walk to the outside of the hall. This was the first time that Wang Rong had met Zhang Juzheng, and although she didn't seem to care about him at all, she took a few glances at him from the corner of her eyes. He had a long white beard, and a few strands of white hair on his head.
When Wang Rong and Ji Yunhao knelt down, apart from the envoy, everyone knelt down as well.
Accepting the book treasure, Wang Rong and the others returned to the hall, with the history returning to Huangji Hall to report the order.
On the Huangji Hall, Zhu Yijun ordered the Cabinet to use the marriage ceremony to rely on the kindness of the two palaces' Virgin Mary to teach them a lesson.
The emperors were to bestow silver coins to each of the emperors. Zhu Yijun left the imperial palace and returned to the Qianqing Palace to wait for the auspicious hour, before heading back to the Jiaotai Palace to pay his respects.
Wang Rong and Bao's dress arrived at the Palace of Tzu Ning to thank the empress dowager of the two palaces. Wang Rong and her makeup from before were still kept on the appearance of a young girl at home. When the big dress was changed, Wang Rong and her makeup aunt would have a deep impression of her face, lengthening her eyes and eyes to the point where they were smeared with rouge, her big red lips, and her jade face only pressed against her forehead, not her cheeks.
His expression changed, full of vigor. Even with her ordinary appearance, she was also extremely haughty and haughty.
The inner and outer women and a few officials were watching the ceremony. Zhu Yijun went to the entrance and stood there, while Wang Rong and the others alighted from the Phoenix Carriage. The eunuchs of palace maid lined up on the left and right sides and clapped their hands nine times.
Zhu Yijun turned around and looked at Wang Rong who was walking towards him with a solemn expression, completely unlike the round-faced girl he first saw. She lied on the spot and was exposed, and her swaying eyes were filled with unease and emotion, the light of the night lamp was reflected in her eyes, causing him to think absentmindedly of Xia Ye who occasionally raised his head and saw the stars in the sky.
It was dazzling.
Zhu Yijun laughed, the two of them stood side-by-side, Wang Rong retreated by half a body's length, her wide sleeves touched each other, and the same fragrance mixed together.
After bowing at the main hall of the Jiaotai Palace, bowing to the heavens and the earth, the Emperor and Empress walked out of the hall.
and Wang Rong held their breath as if they were two puppets, and followed the gift given by palace maid, and under the instructions of Senior Servant Xi, completed all kinds of actions. When they were about to drink, and knew that it was the last step, they both relaxed their shoulders and smiled at each other. Wang Rong and Wang Rong then poured a cup of wine and passed it to Zhu Yijun.
Zhu Yijun took a small sip before handing it back to Wang Rong He, who gulped it down. When it was Zhu Yijun's turn to pour the wine, he passed the wine to Wang Rong and took a sip. When Wang Rong returned the wine, he refused to receive the wine.
”It's a gift.” Senior Servant Xi said with great joy. After that, with a ”hualala”, the entire palace was filled with palace maid eunuchs as they left with Senior Servant Xi, leaving behind a couple of newbies in the palace.
Wang Rong softly asked Zhu Yijun, ”Has everyone left?”
”He didn't go far. He was just outside the hall.” Zhu Yijun said.
”It's good to be outside the hall.” Wang Rong He said, ”His Majesty has already tied up my waist buckle, I can't even relax while sitting.”
”Zitong is so impatient?” Zhu Yijun joked.
Wang Rong gave him a sidelong glance. ”His Majesty got up so early. Right now, he doesn't want to rest. He still wants to do something else.”
”I'm a bit tired.” Zhu Yijun said, ”But Zitong's refreshing fragrance is very useful.”
